The largest city in the Borderlands, Dantai City.

In terms of strategic location, it is not as good as Lifeng City, because it is already in the south of the Borderless Land, only two or three hundred miles away from the Southern Zhou Empire.

Although its location is relatively high, its terrain is relatively broad and stable, and it is not as easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But it was definitely the first frontier of attacking the Southern Zhou Empire, and held the main channel for the uninhabited land to the Southern Zhou Empire.

Once this city is taken over by the Great Win Empire, for Zhou Li and the Southern Zhou Empire's army, it will be completely equivalent to being intercepted and completely blocked in a borderless land.

After all, there are 200,000 people, not just a few thousand people. It is impossible to take remote paths and cross mountains and ridges to return to the Southern Zhou Empire.

Once Dantai City is occupied by the Daying Empire, it means that the more than 200,000 troops led by Zhou Li and Ao Xin will not be able to go home.

So after Ao Xin and Zhou Li escaped from Liefeng City, they did not dare to delay any time.

Almost a day later, the two led thousands of cavalry to catch up with Zhang Zhituo's 200,000 army.

Then, there was no stop. The two of them led the 200,000 army to march back frantically.

This has become a race against time again.

Even raced against death.

I hope that Dantai City can hold on for seven days, and at most ten days, their army will arrive.

There should be no problem. After all, there are nearly 40,000 defenders in the city, of which 30,000 are the main force of the Southern Zhou Empire and are also absolutely elite. Faced with the 100,000 troops of the Daying Empire, with a strong city like Dantai City in hand, it is said that it can be won, and it is no problem to stick to it for half a month.

……………………………………………

October 25th.

After ten days of crazy and fierce march, the 100,000 troops of the Daying Empire, led by General Feng Xiaotian, finally arrived at the city.

At this time, the battle in Riven City has just ended less than two days ago.

After Zhou Li and Ao Xin fled from Liefeng City, they led an army of more than 200,000 back to the south, hundreds of miles away from Dantai City.

Feng Xiaotian, the general of the Daying Empire, raised his eyes and looked at him. Dantai City was in front of him.

The Dan Tai family has run this city for more than two hundred years.

As the largest city in the Borderlands, the city had a population of more than 200,000.

The entire city wall has a circumference of more than forty miles, with the shortest being nine meters and the highest being thirteen meters.

The thickest part of the city wall is more than five meters, and the thinnest part is more than three meters.

Dantai City is indeed not as narrow as Riven City, but it is definitely a solid city.

Generally speaking, if you want to attack such a big city, unless you are four or five times the strength of the defenders, you don’t even try it, and you will definitely be bleeding from the head.

There are now 30,000 troops of the Southern Zhou Empire and 10,000 troops of the Dantai family in Dantai City.

Therefore, the Great Win Empire can only siege the city unless it has 200,000 troops and complete siege equipment.

However, Feng Xiaotian had nothing, only an army of 100,000.

Moreover, in order to hurry, his army was really light and simple. Not to mention siege equipment, even bows and arrows were not brought in a lot, and even dry food was only twenty days.

This kind of crazy battle is usually no one to take on, but Feng Xiaotian is exceptional.

This person is also a century-old nobleman of the Great Win Empire and the Marquis of the Imperial Lanting.

This title sounds very elegant, Feng Xiaotian is also thin and even looks a little gentle.

But the entire Daying Empire knew that this Marquis Lanting was a highly adventurous general with a strong spirit of committing suicide.

What he likes and is best at is running a thousand miles away.

So although he is also a marquis of the empire, he can only be a vanguard general, with a status below Hu Yanzhuo. Because this person likes sneak attacks and raids the most. If he fights normally, he will lose his energy. He doesn't like to fight in a stable battle.

Therefore, unless it was forced, Prince Yingqu would not dare to use this General Feng Xiaotian.

Although Feng Xiaotian's status in the southern army was not as good as Hu Yanzhuo, and he was just a vanguard general, his ancestors had a closer relationship with the royal family and his family background was very prominent. On the contrary, the Marquis Hu Yanzhuo was born as a border general and was not as good as Feng Xiaotian.

Feng Xiaotian was born to be a general, but could only be a general. Because this person was too wild and too fierce in war.

He usually wins wars, but the casualties are also amazing, and he uses all means to do everything.

The royal family of Daying Empire likes to use him very much, but they are also afraid of using him.

But in the end, the emperor still liked this Marquis of Lanting very much because he did not cherish his feathers and was extremely loyal to the royal family.

After learning about Yun Zhonghe's upgraded Troy plan, Hu Yanzhuo was very upset with Yun Zhonghe because he felt it was too risky and even put the Fourth Prince Ying Qu in a dangerous situation.

However, Yun Zhonghe's crazy plan is very consistent with Lanting Hou Feng Xiaotian's taste.

He likes such extremely adventurous and extremely exciting plans.

According to the plan, he led an army of 100,000 to reach the foot of Dantai City within twelve days, which should have been very fast.

But Feng Xiaotian only took nine and a half days to arrive at the city of Dantai.

"Camp, cut down trees, and make siege ladders."

After the order was completed, Feng Xiaotian stood in front of the map and stared blankly.

In front of him is a huge topographic map of Dantai City.

"Ph, ph, ph, ph..."

He stared at the topographic map and thought while spitting out scum.

This person has a hobby, which is to chew sweet poles.

The so-called sweet poles include sugar cane, but they are not just sugar cane, but also corn poles and sorghum poles.

His hobbies are so great that he is always gnawing on them.

I have to chew more than a hundred pieces a day, my teeth are really like saws, and my whole body is really like a slag-spraying machine.

But this is a rush to march. You must do a lightweight and simple journey. You cannot bring anything that you can't bring. Sugarcane is of course a non-essential thing.

As a commander-in-chief, Feng Xiaotian, the Hou of Lanting, could not make an exception for himself.

What should I do? Without the sweet pole, he lost half his life.

It doesn't matter.

Sorghum stalks and corn stalks are fine, but if there isn't any of these, reed stalks are fine.

It's almost November now, and the corn and sorghum poles in the fields are gone and they have been harvested and fed to pigs.

So this General Feng Xiaotian was really gnawing on the reed pole, which was not sweet at all. But it didn't matter, General Feng Xiaotian still sucked the juice and sucked it with relish.

He is actually very handsome, but he chews sweet poles every day, so his right masseter muscle is very developed, and his right face is much bigger than his left face.

This completely ruined his handsomeness, making his face look weird and scary. This also gave him a nickname, Feng Dawei.

"General, General..." Suddenly, a family general rushed in, holding a bundle of corn poles excitedly.

"General, what do you think I brought? When I took the scout to inspect, I found a corn field on the mountain. The traces should have been ruined by wild boars, so there was no harvest, so no one even cut the corn poles. I brought them all to you."

There are more than a hundred corn stalks in this bundle.

Feng Xiaotian quickly stepped forward, picked up a corn stalk, chewed it suddenly, bit it and sucked it.

Wow!

So beautiful, very sweet!

This is mountain corn, and it is also grown from red soil. It has just been burned to accumulate fertilizer in three years.

This is Feng Xiaotian. When any corn pole reaches his mouth, he immediately knows what the land was planted, and even knows the color of the soil.

Although he did not show it, these more than a hundred corn stalks really saved his life. Although he was interested in sucking reed stalks, it was too bitter.

In just two minutes, he finished gnawing a corn rod more than one meter long and breathed in satisfaction.

Then, he immediately changed his face.

"I asked you to go to inspect, not to cut corn levers, not to do your job properly, delay military affairs, come and pull him down and whip thirty whips." Feng Xiaotian shouted coldly.

The general of the family did not complain about his injustice, and was willing to be pulled down and whipped thirty whips.

In fact, he did not miss the situation, nor did he delay military affairs, nor did he delay time.

But he couldn't help seeing this corn field. He had been following Feng Xiaotian for more than 20 years and couldn't bear to see his general gnaw the reed poles.

With Feng Xiaotian's order, a hundred thousand troops quickly set up camp on the spot, cut down the woods, created siege ladders, and siege rams.

The tent of the main general Feng Xiaotian was almost brightly lit.

This is very perverted. I must not be able to sleep before every battle, so I simply stopped sleeping and ate the sweet pole all night long.

And when the war is over, I won’t be in a bad mood, but I will be very excited.

This person is born to not like sleeping, so he is very thin, his eyes are deep, he stares at dark circles all the time, and his eyes are red.

In this way, he moved a small stool and sat in front of the map, gnawing corn poles one after another.

The corn stalk that I could have lasted for one day was finished in just three hours, but there was no way to eat the reed stalk again.

After this night, the corn poles and reed poles on the side of Feng Xiaotian's stool were piled up more than half a foot high.
