In the ensuing camp attack in the wild, the siege equipment was obviously of no use and they were all left in Xiyuan City. In addition, Liu Meng also stayed in Xiyuan City to recuperate due to injuries. Luo Ji

After gathering 3,000 troops and adding one good general, we set off on the same day.

During the expedition, reasonable control of the marching speed was the key. He blindly pursued speed, but when he got there, he had no energy to fight. This was obviously putting the cart before the horse. Luo Ji had always grasped this balance very well.

At the same time, a few days ago, the two brothers Guo Jia and Guo Zhen, who were on their way back to Mirror City, also received Luo Ji's second military order in a short time after a long absence. The earlier military order was in

The message sent half a month ago was to ask them to return to Mirror City to help resist the next invasion by outsiders.

However, they were busy fighting some time ago and accidentally ran too far. Coupled with the increase in the number of soldiers under their command, their marching speed was greatly slowed down. They really didn't have time to rush back in a short time. This was still halfway through.

On the way, the second military order was delivered to them quickly.

"How do you say that?" Guo Zhen, who was standing in the tent with his arms folded, looked at Guo Jia sitting there with a slight frown. Although Luo Cheng on the side did not speak, it was obvious from the look between his eyebrows.

It can be seen that he is very concerned about the content of this second military order.

Feeling the gazes of the two people, Guo Jia put down the military order he had just sent, "The foreigners who invaded this time seemed to be unexpectedly difficult. They had six crossbows and five thousand troops, and they were forced to attack us within half a day."

Attacked Xiyuan City..."

"Five thousand troops?!" Upon hearing this number, Guo Zhen and Luo Cheng both exclaimed, and the expression on Luo Cheng's face was directly filled with undisguised shock, "And it's still taking a long time.

They forcibly breached Xiyuan City within a short period of time? How is this possible?!"

"Luo Cheng, tell me, what is the situation in Xiyuan City?" After hearing this, Guo Jia asked seriously. After all, he and Guo Zhen have been fighting abroad all year round, so naturally they cannot know the situation in Xiyuan City.

Luo Cheng himself left at that time, and he had seen the scale and walls of Xiyuan City, so he was so shocked after hearing the news that Xiyuan City had been breached.

Taking a deep breath and calming down his emotions, Luo Cheng quickly spread out a map, then circled the map in front of him with his finger, "Xiyuan City is at this location, it can be regarded as Mirror City."

The first line of defense to the west of the territory, and at the same time, the territory of this entire area has been connected together..."

As he spoke, Luo Cheng carefully explained the changes in the situation in Mirror City. Guo Jia, who was sitting there, was filled with brilliance. He still couldn't imagine how their leader could do such a large-scale thing in such a short time.

To achieve this in a short period of time? It is simply unbelievable. I can only say that he is worthy of being a leader. This is something he absolutely cannot do.

But at the same time, it was precisely because he understood the size and defense level of Xiyuan City that his expression became more solemn.

"So Saiyuan City would be captured in half a day, which is simply unbelievable!"

"It must be that the generals guarding the city were careless." Guo Jia said this after thinking for a while.

"main idea?"

"Under the leadership of the leader, we have won consecutive battles and have become an almost invincible army. We have accumulated so many victories. It is inevitable that we occasionally become careless and underestimate the enemy, right?" Guo Jia asked back with a calm face.

One sentence, and at the same time, he didn't forget to glance at Guo Zhen.

"Ahem!" Sensing Guo Jia's gaze, Guo Zhen, the eldest brother, coughed twice with an embarrassed look. Just a month ago, when he was attacking a tribe, he was carelessly underestimated and received two arrows.

Because of this matter, his younger brother didn't give him a good look for half a month, and from time to time he would bring this matter up to scold him, making him, the eldest brother, more and more disrespectful in front of his younger brother.

Come on, Guo Jia was not like this before. He was definitely led astray by the leader!

Seeing Guo Zhen's guilty and embarrassed look, Guo Jia was speechless, but she didn't scold him for his interest. After more than half a month, his anger was almost gone, and his eyes fell on Luo Cheng again.

"And didn't you also say that if you work hard, it doesn't even take half a day for the cavalry troops from Mirror City to support Xiyuan City. With this guarantee, I would probably feel at ease."

Relax."

Luo Cheng couldn't refute Guo Jia's words, because it was really like this, "So, it was because of Sun He's carelessness that the outsiders broke through the city gate in half a day?"

"In all likelihood, by the time he realized the opponent's overwhelming military superiority, it was already too late to do anything else."

"In this case, the outsiders occupy Xiyuan City, and with the advantage of the city wall, doesn't the leader have to fight a siege?!"

"A siege battle is not enough. There is a three-bow bed crossbow, a powerful siege weapon. I really don't know which city wall can stop it for the time being." At this point, Guo Jia paused and took a sip of water.

After that, he spoke again, "So, the focus is on the battle that follows. Luo Cheng, how many troops were there in Mirror City before you came?"

"It's really hard to say." After hearing this, Luo Cheng also thought about it seriously, "If I remember correctly, after the previous battle, Mirror City received 40% of the surrendered troops. If you count those

The troops in Mirror City should be around 4,000, but those are just troops after all, and their combat strength is probably..."

The atmosphere in the camp seemed a little solemn for a moment. Guo Jia and the others knew very well how powerful the surrendered soldiers they had just captured were. After all, at least half of the troops in their hands were composed of surrendered soldiers. After the attack,

After a tribe, the population is sent back to Mirror City, while the surrendered warriors are directly thrown into the army to replenish their forces before attacking the next tribe. This is their current practice, so in this regard, they can be said to be experienced.

Leaving aside the issue of personal combat power, there are three very troublesome issues in the surrender of troops...

The first problem is that there is basically no tacit understanding with the original troops, and it is difficult to cover each other's attacks during the battle.

The second problem is that the morale of these surrendered soldiers is low, and it is difficult to fully exert their own combat power. It may also affect the morale of other soldiers.

The third problem is that because these surrendered soldiers have just surrendered, their loyalty is often not high, and it is easy for a few deserters to appear, which is quite a headache.

For various reasons, it was urgent to lead troops to Xiyuan City for support. However, just a few days later, the members of the reconnaissance team handed the third military order into his hands.

"The troops of the outsiders have withdrawn from Xiyuan City. We changed our marching route and went directly to the battlefield!"
