Chapter 257 Frontline Military Situation

Three days passed quickly, just as the news came from the Black Ice Terrace, the Xianglong Kingdom and the Tianpeng Kingdom launched a war against Da Zhou.

Xianglong Kingdom occupies Broken Blade City, so it is more favorable for Dazhou's offensive situation.

The strategic position of Broken Blade City is like a sharp knife inserted into the hinterland of Dazhou. The 200,000 army of Xianglong Kingdom can attack any city in the west of Dazhou at any time based on this city. Attack, retreat and defend.

However, Zhang Liao's Tenglong Corps showed quite strong combat effectiveness.

Unlike the Huo Lin Army, the Tenglong Army was not entirely composed of the original forbidden army, but consisted of nearly 30,000 soldiers from Lianyun City.

These soldiers had taken a lot of precious medicinal pills refined by Sun Simiao, and their cultivation had made a qualitative leap. Coupled with Zhang Liao's previous days of devil training, their strength had already surpassed that of the old-fashioned forbidden army, which was known as the elite.

After the army was reorganized, the Tenglong Legion, which consisted of the Lianyuncheng defenders and the forbidden army, was much stronger than the pure forbidden army.

Therefore, facing the frontier army of Xianglong Kingdom, which was far inferior to the forbidden army, the brief confrontation between the two sides on the first day ended with the victory of Dazhou.

On this day, Broken Blade City was littered with corpses, and after a rough sweep, there were about 10,000 corpses, both from Da Zhou and from the Xianglong Kingdom Army.

However, the battle did not last long, and it ended after only one morning.

Crazy Lion City, a small city belonging to the Crazy Lion Sect, was similar to the Spirit Sword Sect Lingjian City that Xiao Chen had been to.

This city is located on the western border of Dazhou, facing the east and west of Broken Blade City, dozens of miles away.

Today's Wild Lion City has become the garrison of the Tenglong Legion.

At this moment, the Tenglong Legion is located in the commanding mansion of the Wild Lion Sect, and Zhang Liao and Le Yi are urgently discussing the strategy against the enemy.

Zhang Liao looked at the map on the table and said with a hint of worry: "General Le Yi, although our army won a small victory in today's first battle, the situation is still not optimistic!"

Le Yi's eyes were also solemn: "The army of Xianglong Kingdom is twice that of my Dazhou army, and it occupies Broken Blade City and holds the initiative to attack. Although today, relying on the strong combat power of our army, it has slightly defeated the opponent's edge. , but tomorrow's battle may be even more difficult."

Zhang Liao nodded and said: "Yes, we must find a way to retake Broken Blade City, otherwise the future war will be too passive, but..."

Looking at the map in front of him, Zhang Liao frowned deeply.

Broken Blade City is surrounded by three cities, the Crazy Lion City in the east, Qingshan City and Baiyu City in the north and south, and Xianglong Kingdom in the west.

It seems that the Three Cities surrounded Broken Blade City, but the truth is the opposite.

Qingshan City and Baiyu City had weaker soldiers, far less than Broken Blade City, with high walls and deep walls, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Otherwise, Xianglong Kingdom would not have spent five times the price of Da Zhou to win Broken Blade City.

Today, the strength of Xianglong Kingdom's troops in Broken Blade City is twice that of Da Zhou's army, and it is also the defender of the city. It is almost impossible to retake Broken Blade City.

In Tianluo Continent, the casualty ratio in siege battles is almost three to one, or even higher.

The Tenglong Legion is also a cavalry legion, and it is even more delusional to want to attack the city.

Although Qingshan City and Baiyu City had a certain number of defenders, these two cities were a problem to protect themselves, not to mention helping the Tenglong Army to attack Broken Blade City.

When Xianglong Kingdom attacked Broken Blade City, the two cities managed to squeeze out 20,000 people to support Uncle Yan, but unfortunately the entire army was wiped out.

Zhang Liao believes that as long as the armies of these two cities go out to attack Broken Blade City, the army of Xianglong Kingdom stationed on the border will definitely take advantage of the situation and seize these two cities. wiped out.

After a long time, Zhang Liao sighed and said, "This road on the west side of Broken Blade City is really deadly."

Le Yi also said helplessly: "Yes, the army at the border of Xianglong Kingdom can support Broken Blade City through this road at any time."

"If we can't cut it off, even if we defeat each other in the field, the other party will still have a steady stream of soldiers to come in. A long tug-of-war is too bad for me!"

"We are fighting on two fronts. The Fire Lin Corps in the south should also collide with the Tianpeng Kingdom. The situation there is more severe than here!"

Both Le Yi and Zhang Liao wanted to fight quickly, and then send their troops to support the south as soon as possible.

A ruthless expression flashed across Zhang Liao's face and said: "Why don't I go to Broken Blade City at night and kill all the other's coaches and generals."

Le Yi hurriedly said: "General, don't be so impulsive. According to the news from the Black Ice Platform, there are indeed several masters in the other party's military camp, and they are likely to be people from the Imperial Palace."

Zhang Liao was just talking angry words, of course he knew that Broken Blade City had hidden masters, and not only masters of the Imperial Palace.

The masters of the Human Palace are at least above the Martial Sovereign Realm, but today on the battlefield, he encountered two martial commanders who were no weaker than him, obviously not from the Human Palace.

If it wasn't for Le Yi's help, I'm afraid Zhang Liao would suffer a small loss.

Therefore, the possibility of going to Broken Blade City to assassinate a senior enemy general is almost zero.

"Generals don't have to worry, at least we still have the advantage in field battles. We might as well fight the other side for a while, keep attacking the other side's morale, and wait for the time to come," Le Yi advised.

Compared with Zhang Liao's slightly fiery temper, Le Yi seemed more calm.

This famous general of the Warring States Period, who once commanded Yan State and other five-nation coalition forces to attack Qi State and even went to more than 70 cities, is a bit better than Zhang Liao.

However, because Zhang Liao deserved more credit, and his personal ability was completely capable of commanding an army, Xiao Chen made him the commander of the Tenglong Legion, with Le Yi to assist him.

Zhang Liao relieved the depression in his heart a little, and then said: "Le Yi, see if we can send a special force to detour from Qingshan City to the west of Broken Blade City, and then we will attack Broken Blade City from the front to force Xianglong Kingdom. The frontier army came to the rescue, and then let the strange soldiers ambushed the other reinforcements and wiped out their living strength!"

Le Yi pondered for a moment and said, "General, our troops are too small, even if we just face the enemy in Broken Blade City, it seems a little reluctant. If we divide our troops into ambush, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to defend against Xianglong Kingdom's troops. Frontal attack!"

Zhang Liao also knew that it was too difficult to do so. If the Tenglong Legion was divided into the enemy's back, it would probably be self-defeating, resulting in insufficient defenders of Mad Lion City.

At that time, the Xianglong Kingdom might seize the opportunity to capture the Wild Lion City.

"Report! General Qi, there is an enemy general called Poison Wolf outside the city who is calling for battle!" At this time, a scout came to the lobby to report.

Zhang Liao heard the words and snorted coldly: "This poisonous wolf, do you really think that this general can't kill him? Today I will kill him to sacrifice the flag!"

The poisonous wolf was one of the few martial commanders who emerged from the Xianglong Kingdom.

Just when Zhang Liao was about to fight, Le Yi stopped him, and then said to the scout who reported the military situation: "Hold up the free card and truce!"
