Three days later, Ge Changhe appeared outside Baishi City with 50,000 troops.

It can be seen that these soldiers have been carefully selected, so they are all strong, not much worse than the 80,000 elite soldiers under Xia Fan.

When Xia Fan was very happy to see these elite soldiers, he also understood why Hehuan Shinto tried his best to win over those powerful people in the divine realm and borrowed troops through them. Obviously, doing so would not only allow you to borrow enough troops, but also have a very high quality of soldiers. After all, no matter which country's king of a small country, as long as he did not want to have a quarrel with his own national teacher, he would definitely not be fooled by military and horses.

"Where is Xiao Fan, haven't come yet?" Ge Changhe couldn't help but ask.

"No." Xia Fan shook his head.

"I knew this guy was not very reliable." Ge Changhe clenched his fists in dissatisfaction, as if Xiao Fan would kill him with one punch in front of him.

"It doesn't matter whether he comes or not, it's enough for you to come." Xia Fan patted Ge Changhe on the shoulder, comforted him a few words, and then said his plan to capture Yunhuanhu.

"There must be some soldiers in Baishi City?" Although Ge Changhe is a cultivator, he has also served as a soldier and led his troops, so he still knows a little about marching and fighting.

"It is enough to leave a thousand people. If I can take Yunhuan Lake, then Baishi City will naturally be as stable as a rock. If I can't take Yunhuan Lake, no matter how many people there are left in Baishi City, it will not be of much use. Although Baishi City has a good territory, the surrounding land is barren and has no population, so it is not enough to be regarded as the foundation for a stable life, so I am determined to take Yunhuan Lake." Xia Fan also trusts Ge Changhe quite a lot, so he told his considerations all over the place.

"Since that's the case, then we will do our best to take down Yunhuanhu." Ge Changhe nodded and said.

…………

Since Xia Fan captured Baishi City and sent troops to harass Yunhuanhu, in order to monitor the enemy situation at any time and to better defend when attacked, the Yunhuanhu garrison built a series of tall Yonggu fortresses on the south bank of Yunhuanhu.

Each of these fortresses is a thousand feet long, three hundred feet wide, and more than thirty feet high, and can garrison more than a thousand troops. Although it is not very effective when facing the attacks of thousands of troops, it is still not a problem to deal with small-scale harassment and attacks.

There are about fifty similar fortresses on the south bank of Yunhuan Lake. Although they are not connected, they are not far apart from each other. As long as one attack is encountered, the defenders ignite the beacon fire, and the nearby defenders will immediately send troops to support them. They have repelled several attacks from the soldiers of Baishi City. However, if they encounter the attacks of the barbarians, such vigilance measures will be useless, because no matter how many reinforcements come, the barbarians will rush forward without hesitation and will never give up until they kill all of them.

Zheng Liu and Liu He are the defenders among the many fortresses on the south bank of Yunhuan Lake. It was their turn to stand guard at night on this day.

Although it is not autumn and winter at this time, the temperature is still a little cooler after nightfall, especially the water vapor in Yunhuanhu Lake, which often makes people feel tiddy all over their body, and it is very uncomfortable to wear armor on them.

"Damn it, if I stay here for another half a year, even if I don't kill the barbarians, I will have to live for half a year less." Zheng Liu took a sip of wine with a wine gourd and handed it to Liu He, who was staring at the south.

"I won't drink anymore, you can enjoy it yourself, so as not to be dazzled if you drink too much, and you won't even notice the enemy's feelings when you look back. At that time, not only will it harm brothers, but our heads will also have to move." Although Liu He's saliva almost flowed out with the smell of wine, he still resisted the urge to take a sip and pushed the wine gourd away.

"Don't worry, in my experience, those guys in Baishicheng will never attack us at night...Puff..." Zheng Liu was about to hand the wine gourd to Liu He again, and a cold light flashed by, and his head was already bursting.

"Enemy..." Liu He was shocked and was about to shout for the enemy's attack at the top of his throat, but at this moment he suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and the shouting at his mouth turned into a squeak of blood when it was gushing.

At this time, it was definitely not just Zheng Liu and Liu He who were killed. All the fifty forts on the south bank of Yunhuan Lake were attacked at the same time. Except for the only two forts that were subjected to crazy resistance, they were able to capture the fortress after killing all the defenders in the fortress, the other fortresses were easily captured without much effort.

The reason for this is that Yu Kongyue has been harassing these fortresses some time ago. It is hard to say that the small-intensity battle is fought every day, but there will be one every two or three days. Such frequent battles will not only make the defenders very tired, but also gradually become numb. In addition, the attacks commanded by Yu Kongyue are carried out during the day, which also gives the Yunhuanhu defenders an illusion that they will not attack at night. Therefore, most of the defenders of the fortress sleep well, and some even take off their armor. When they suddenly attack, of course, they will be captured without even the chance to resist.

On the other hand, the people responsible for the attack this time were all elites selected by Xia Fan from his 130,000 troops, and they also conducted some assault training long before starting today's night attack.

These people are all elites in the army, and generally have the strength of the Lingjing Realm. They are usually at least very good-looking in the army. Now that they are ordered to attack sneakily, it is definitely a bit useless.

In addition, in order to be more secure, Xia Fan also sent nearly 10,000 soul bodies to fight with him, and their battle in the dark was definitely like fish in water, which also made the entire night attack more smooth. Although there was an accident, it did not affect the overall situation.

There are fifty fortresses, each of which has more than a thousand defenders. In addition to those killed, there are at least 45,600 remaining people, who almost became prisoners after being awakened from their sleep.

Xia Fan, Yu Kongyue and others had already discussed how to resettle prisoners, so although there were a large number of prisoners at this time, it did not affect their subsequent attacks. Naturally, someone would come to accept and resettle these prisoners. About 90% of the orders to do this were Fang Sen's troops at the time, and later he was captured and surrendered by Xia Fan. Now he is under his command.

With these people saying this, it is enough to appease the uneasy hearts of the captives. Of course, in addition to comforting, appropriate shock is also indispensable. Some of the thorns will definitely be picked out and killed in public, which can not only reduce trouble, but also kill the chicken to warn the monkey. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Xia Fan's army was relatively smooth when it broke through the fortress group on the south bank of Yunhuan Lake, but when it continued to attack forward, it suffered extremely tenacious resistance. This is not surprising, because although the defenders in the fortress on the south bank were unable to block Xia Fan's army's night attack, they at least played a warning role. Although the defenders of Yunhuan Lake have been quite tired recently because Yu Kongyue has been constantly harassing people, their combat power will not be greatly affected. Moreover, Lan Yuguo has always attached great importance to the important grain-producing area of ​​the Yunhuan Lake Basin, otherwise they would not have routinely stationed 100,000 troops, so various defense measures are quite complete and can completely withstand an invasion of more than 100,000 people.

It was precisely with such a defensive foundation and the warnings from the defenders in the fortress before their death that when Xia Fan's army broke through the fortress group on the south bank and then went deeper forward, it suddenly became much more difficult.

Since Xia Fan and his soldiers had made sufficient preparations long before the war began, they naturally considered that they would encounter such a situation. Therefore, when they encountered tenacious resistance, the army on Xia Fan was not panicked at all, but instead carried out the tough attack step by step according to the strategy agreed in advance. Although the progress was slightly slower than the initial forecast, it did not exceed Xia Fan and others' predictions, so it was still smooth.

As the commander, Xia Fan certainly had no need to charge forward. He just needed to stay in the rear to stabilize the morale of the army. He directly handed over the battle on the battlefield to Yu Kongyue and Bu Fenghou. Although Ge Changhe was strong and brought 50,000 elite soldiers to surrender, he had just joined Xia Fan's command for a while, so Xia Fan could not promote his position too high at once, just handed him over to Yu Kongyue to command. After conquering Yunhuanhu this time, he would naturally be able to promote Ge Changhe.

…………

Since Yunhuanhu Lake is very important to Lan Yuguo, especially Lan Haolin now, he specifically reminded his subordinates that no matter when, as long as there is news about Yunhuanhu Lake, they must be handed over to himself as soon as possible, otherwise, no matter who is delayed, they will be killed.

Because of Lan Haolin's strict order, when the information about Yunhuanhu being attacked by Xia Fan's army had just been submitted from the bottom, the confidant who was responsible for helping Lan Haolin handle the information hurriedly knocked on the door of Lan Haolin's dormitory.

At this time, Lan Haolin was sitting cross-legged in the house to practice. Since returning to Lan Yu Kingdom and becoming the king, Lan Haolin has been plagued by various military and government affairs all day long, and the time he can really use to practice has become much less. Although it is Lan Haolin's wish to master the royal power and command the world, immortality and eternality are also what he hopes. Therefore, no matter how busy he is, he always has to take some time to practice.

It is rare to have a leisure time today, so Lan Haolin returned to the dormitory early to rest. Today he had a premonition that the bottleneck that had been stuck in him for a long time might break through today. If he could enter the divine realm in one fell swoop, then a new world would appear in front of him. Lan Haolin was full of expectations and desire for this.

Just as Lan Haolin was constantly using his martial arts and felt that the bottleneck that restricted his strength to break through was becoming more and more loose, a sudden and rapid knock on the door sounded. The knock on the door was too abrupt and too noisy, and suddenly woke Lan Haolin up from the mysterious state before the breakthrough, so the breakthrough that should have been natural was ruined.
