174: Crazy Sauron, the First Battle Is Won!

At this time, there were four armies in Tianshui City.

The first one was an army of 25,000 assembled by Nurdan and other high-ranking warrior lords with the support of a large amount of gold coins from Princess Shenning.

The second branch is the elite of the six thousand city guards who have completely pledged their allegiance to Suo Hanyi.

The third is the 5,000 Linhai City troops brought by Guiqinqu.

The fourth branch is the black-clothed army, the 4,000 secret elites that Xili had placed among Nurdan and other rebels early in the morning.

That is to say, in a small Tianshui City, an army of 40,000 has gathered, which is about two or three times that of Sauron's army.

Sauron is the attacker, and the enemy is the defender, and the number is less than half of the enemy. No matter how you look at it, it is a war that must be lost.

Moreover, Sauron's army had traveled thousands of miles and was already exhausted. The enemy's army, however, is completely waiting for work at leisure, with a strong city in hand, taking the initiative.

In Tianshui City today, Suo Hanyi has already captured the hearts of the people.

A few months ago, Suo Hanyi was assassinated by a shameless assassin, Tianshui City fell, and the city guards tried their best to protect Suo Hanyi and escape from Tianshui City.

One and a half months later, Suo Hanyi led 4,000 troops to re-attack Tianshui City regardless of his serious injuries.

And he is worthy of being an invincible commander, and he has great reputation and popularity in Tianshui City.

So even though there are more than 10,000 rebels, and the strong city is in hand. But when Suo Hanyi attacked the city, the people in the city formed a rebel army to help Suo Hanyi.

Under the combination of inside and outside, Suo Hanyi recaptured Tianshui City in just half a month.

Then, Nurdan and other high-ranking warrior lords bowed down and surrendered one after another, renewing their allegiance to Suoshi. Of course, this Suoxie refers to Suo Hanyi, and has nothing to do with Sauron.

Ordinarily, after Suo Hanyi "recaptured" Tianshui City, he should immediately invite the real city lord Sauron to return.

But at that time, there were a lot of vague rumors coming out.

For example, assassinate Yan Fu. The assassins of Suo Hanyi and Yang Hongyi were not sent by the rebels like Nurdan, but by Sauron.

Then, for another example, Earl Sauron was dying. Secretly wrote a suicide note, saying that Sauron was of bad character, cheated on his mother and concubine, and had an affair with his sister Suo Ningbing, so his inheritance qualifications were abolished. And the reason why Nurdan and others rebelled. It is precisely because of this reason.

A lie repeated a hundred times becomes the truth.

Sauron's reputation is inherently bad, and with these extremely vicious rumors, his reputation is completely stink in Tianshui City.

After Suo Hanyi took back Tianshui City, he immediately sent an army to Luanshi Island to welcome Sauron back to Tianshui City in front of everyone.

That day, countless people blocked the gate of the city, preventing the army that greeted Sauron from going out.

The next day, Suo Hanyi was in front of everyone again. Ten ships were sent out to sea, and they went north to Luanshi Island to welcome Sauron back to Tianshui City.

As a result, the sailors on the ship scuttled the ship themselves, and not only were all the ships silent, but all the sailors on board were also buried in the belly of the sea.

On that day, the Tianshui City pier was crying loudly.

Countless people knelt in front of Suo Hanyi, begging him not to invite the demon Sauron back, otherwise Tianshui City will never have peace, and all the people will be in dire straits.

Suo Hanyi also cried and knelt down in front of all the people. He said that his adoptive father was so kind to him that he could not betray him no matter what, let alone allow his younger sister and younger brother (referring to Suoning Bing and Sauron) to live on a rocky island.

A few days later, Suo Hanyi decided to lead the troops himself. Go to Stone Island to bring back the Sauron siblings.

Then, his most loyal warriors and soldiers knelt in front of the city lord's mansion to make a bloody admonition.

Seven people committed suicide, and ten people cut off their left hands and begged Suo Hanyi to take back his life with blood.

Then tens of thousands of Tianshui City people, thousands of Tianshui City guards. They all knelt in front of Suo Hanyi and asked him not to take Sauron back.

On that day, hundreds of warriors put their swords across their necks. If Suo Hanyi refused to agree, they would all kill themselves on the spot.

So, Suo Hanyi broke down in tears, and finally compromised, not taking Sauron back to the city for the time being.

Afterwards, Duke Zhiwei, the governor of the southeast province, issued a decree to reprimand Sauron. As the lord of the city, he has not been in Tianshui City for a long time. He is so negligent and stubborn. However, Tianshui City cannot be left without an owner for a day, so Suo Hanyi was ordered to temporarily assume the post of acting city lord of Tianshui City.

From then on, Suo Hanyi got his wish and finally became the lord of Tianshui, even though he was only the acting lord.

But Sauron, the real city lord, will never come back. After he died, the code word on the top of Suo Hanyi's head would be completely erased, and he would become a legitimate prince and city lord.

So in this battle, Suo Hanyi can be said to have the best timing, location, and harmony.

When he heard that Sauron was leading an army of 15,000 soldiers to the city, he was filled with endless excitement.

This moment finally arrived, he could finally kill Sauron completely on the battlefield.

After deliberation, the 40,000 army in the territory of Tianshui City was divided into three parts.

In the first part, 6,000 Tianshui City Guards under Suo Hanyi's banner, and 5,000 Nurdan's high-ranking lord's army, totaled 11,000 people stationed in the main city of Tianshui.

In the second part, the 4,000 black-clothed troops of Princess Shenning, the 5,000 Lin Haijun who returned to Qinqu, and the 10,000 troops of the high-ranking lord, a total of 19,000 people, marched to the Sirius Pass.

In the third part, the 10,000 troops of Nurdan and other high-level warrior lords were scattered and stationed in twenty high-level warrior lords, mainly to prevent thieves and robbers from taking advantage of the opportunity.

Although the 40,000 army is divided into three parts, the main battlefield, and even the only battlefield will be at Sirius Pass.

This is the consensus of the five forces of Suo Hanyi, Zhining, Nurdan, Guiqinqu, and Turingduo.

Annihilating Sauron's army at the Sirius Pass and not allowing a single soldier to enter the territory of Tianshui City was the keynote set from the very beginning.

...

At this time, in the castle of Sirius Pass, the five people in the battlefield headquarters were still arguing endlessly.

Annihilating Sauron at the Sirius Pass and not letting a single soldier enter the territory of Tianshui City is already a decided strategy.

But now the debate is endless, should they wait for work, wait for Sauron's army to attack Sirius pass, or take the initiative to attack?

Nurdan and Guiqinqu both insisted on going out to fight, taking advantage of Sauron's army traveling thousands of miles, exhausted, and annihilating them in one fell swoop.

But Turingdo believes that one should wait for work with ease and use the fortified city of Sirius Pass. Drain the blood of Sauron's army.

And Suo Hanyi even thought that the army should be divided into two groups, sending 10,000 troops to pass through Baiyun County, bypass the Tianshui Mountains, and go behind Sauron's army. Flanking forward and backward.

Three opinions, endless debate.

And the only one with the decision-making power, Chen Ning, after thinking about it, found that the three opinions were very reasonable.

In the first plan, Sauron's army traveled thousands of miles. Tired, if he takes the initiative, he should be able to win, but it may be a miserable victory.

Because Sauron's army is mainly composed of mercenaries, and Yan Yan is the king of mercenaries, so this army is very strong in field battles, but it is not good at attacking strong cities, which is determined by the nature of mercenaries.

So the first plan is for Zhi Ning, because of his own shortcomings. The length of attacking the enemy.

And the third plan is to send another 10,000 troops to go around behind Sauron's army and attack back and forth.

This is Suo Hanyi's plan, and it is indeed the way to win, with the least casualties.

However, Shen Ning could not send such an army. The 6,000 city guards under Sauron's command were originally a very elite force. However, Chen Ning kept them in the main city of Tianshui, because they were Suoshi's army after all. Sauron is also the real owner of Tianshui City, she was worried that this army would never return, and she would be fooled by Sauron.

She dared not underestimate Sauron's ability to confuse people.

so. Neither does the third option.

The second plan is to sit in the fortified city, wait for work at leisure, and wait for Sauron's army to attack, exhausting his blood and strength.

This plan seems to be the most moderate. But also the safest.

Because, Sauron's 15,000 army traveled a long distance for more than 20 days, and consumed an unknown amount of food and grass, and there was no replenishment at all. The food and grass would be exhausted in a maximum of ten days.

Inside the Sirius Pass, there was countless food and grass, and time was on Shenning's side, not on Sauron's side.

Xi Ning looked at the four people present and said: "Adopt the second plan, wait for work with leisure, use the fortifications of Sirius Pass, and consume Sauron's army to death."

...

Seven days ago, in Sauron's barracks, there were Sauron, Yan Yan, Yan Nai'er, and Tu An.

On the big table in the middle, there is a map, which is the topographic map of Tianshui City.

Sauron pointed to the Sirius Pass on the map and said: "This is the Sirius Pass, the only pass that enters the Tianshui City territory. We have defended the plunder of the barbarian tribes, and if we want to enter Tianshui City, we must first take down the Sirius Pass."

The three present nodded.

"Therefore, the enemy will definitely place the battlefield at Sirius Pass, and will not let us enter Tianshui City one by one." Sauron said: "In order to maintain their advantage, they will station 20,000 troops at Sirius Pass. All the elite of the Shuicheng Guards will be placed in the Sirius Pass."

Then, Sauron asked: "Our army is 15,000, and the enemy's army is 20,000. If we sit at the Sirius Pass, can we attack it?"

Yan Yan, Yan Nai'er, and Tu An all shook their heads.

Siege requires more than double the troops. This is military common sense, and it will not change just because the commander is Yan Yan.

Moreover, Sauron's army is all mercenaries, with extremely strong field combat capabilities, but lacks the combat experience of tens of thousands of troops, and lacks the experience of attacking fortified cities.

Sauron continued: "The enemy has three battle plans. The first one is to take advantage of our long journey and take the initiative to attack. The second one is to sit in the fortified city and wait for work. The third one is to send an army to go around behind us. Clamp back and forth."

Sauron said: "Xining, I will choose the second plan, because it is the safest and the least loss."

Yan Yan said: "Actually, the enemy's three plans are not wrong, they can all win!"

"Yes." Sauron said: "Three plans can win, but the enemy's coach, Shen Ning, is a woman after all. She has more scheming than courage. If I were the enemy's coach, I would definitely choose the first plan and spend 20,000 yuan. The 5,000 troops gathered at Sirius Pass, took the initiative to attack, regardless of the cost, and annihilated us immediately. The enemy's only disadvantage is that it has too much advantage and holds a lot of good cards in its hands. Obviously, the simplest method can Win, but want to win with the least cost."

Yan Yan said: "That's because you are a lunatic."

"Yes, lunatic." Sauron resolutely said: "We have no advantage in this battle. They have two or three times the strength of ours, they have a lot of food and grass, they have a strong city in their hands, and they have their hearts in their hands. The three plans of the enemy are very important to us. There is no solution. You have to be crazy to have a chance of winning, otherwise you will definitely lose."

Tu An said: "Master Sauron, what are you going to do?"

"Go crazy." Sauron said with wild eyes: "Turn the entire Tianshui City into an abyss of madness."

...

In the middle of Sirius Pass, there are nearly 40,000 troops on both sides. are facing off.

But five days ago, Sauron changed his face and sneaked into Chaos Stone Island.

At this time, he was leading twenty ships. Go south from Rocky Isle. There are more than a thousand warriors on board, and... countless gold coins.

Tianshui City and Linhai City are all along the coast, and Luanshi Island is only a few hundred miles away from the coast of Tianshui City.

Crazy Sauron only led more than a thousand people. Landed in the territory of Tianshui City from the sea.

"Fifteen miles ahead of us, there are villages and small towns in Tianshui City everywhere." Sauron said loudly: "What we have to do now is to become bandits, plunder every village and small town, and rob them all." Every grain of grain, drive everyone to one place, that is the main city of Tianshui."

"There are ruffians in every place, and they are open to money." Sauron continued: "And now, these people are our allies. We have brought an astronomical amount of gold coins. Next, we will deal with these ruffians who come here." No rejection, every person who comes will be given a gold coin. In short, our goal is to loot every village, every town, and every manor in Tianshui City. Drive hundreds of thousands of people into the main city of Tianshui, Let the territory of Tianshui City be completely chaotic."

Hear Sauron's order. The warriors of the Suo family were stunned, this, this is crazy.

You know, this is Sauron's own territory and inheritance. If placed before. Suo Mu will definitely refuse to obey, but now they have completely blind trust in Sauron.

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Let's go!" Sauron ordered, and then put on his mask.

Immediately, these more than a thousand warriors turned into more than a thousand pirates, rushing into the peaceful territory of Tianshui City.

Then. One village after another was looted, one town after another looted.

All the food was piled together and burned.

This terrifying pirate team only robs money and doesn't carry any weight.

Immediately, countless people became refugees and headed towards the main city of Tianshui. Only there would be safety and a way out.

Although there are a total of 10,000 troops stationed in various high-level warrior territories, each territory has an average of only 500 people, and they are still second-line troops, so they are no match for Sauron's elite thieves.

Moreover, Sauron opened boxes of gold coins and kicked them to the ground. Just put on the mask, join his raiding party, and take away a gold coin.

These low-level soldiers, as well as the local ruffians in the countryside, have never seen gold coins in their lives, and they have not been able to save a single gold coin for several years.

Now, as long as you join Sauron, you can get a gold coin.

The result of this golden bullet offensive is complete madness.

Countless rogues, even the second-line army and militia stationed in the countryside, covered their faces with a piece of black cloth and joined Sauron's plundering team.

In just a few days, the bandit team behind Sauron has exceeded 10,000 people.

This mob would definitely not be able to fight hard battles, but looting small towns in the countryside was no problem.

Immediately, the entire territory of Tianshui City was completely wailing and howling, burning everywhere, looting everywhere, and a complete chaos.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people had nowhere to go, and they dragged their families to the main city of Tianshui one after another.

In the main city of Tianshui, a total of 10,000 troops were stationed, but without an order, not a single soldier dared to send out.

Faced with the surging refugees, the city guard officers did not dare to stop them, and let the refugees into the city one after another. But in the end, more and more, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

The city guard officers hurriedly closed the city gates to prevent the refugees from continuing to enter, and waited for the order from Sirius Pass four hundred miles away.

...

At Sirius Pass, the confrontation between the two armies had lasted for more than three days.

Yan Yan's 10,000-strong army still did not attack the pass, but has been building fortifications.

Inside the castle of Sirius Pass, the five-man headquarters wondered, what exactly does Sauron mean? The soldiers have already approached the city, but they have been surrounded instead of fighting. Instead, they have begun to build camps.

Doesn't he know that his food and grass can't last long at all, and he can only wait for death if he continues like this.

And at this moment, a messenger soldier rushed into the Heavenly Wolf Pass, knelt in front of Shen Ning and said, "Your Highness, Sauron is leading more than ten thousand people and is heading for the main city of Tianshui. It is already urgent."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was completely shocked.

Isn't Sauron's 10,000-strong army outside the Sirius Pass? He... Where did he come from with more than 10,000 troops?

In fact, about the news that a large number of thieves plundered Tianshui City's territory, a day and a half ago, Feiyao sent a message to Sirius Pass. However, everyone present did not take it seriously.

Because it is not a pity for these villagers to die, as long as the main city of Tianshui is safe.

Now, Sauron's army of more than 10,000 people appeared to attack Tianshui City?

Suo Hanyi's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "I will return to the main city of Tianshui immediately."

Shen Ning nodded and said, "Are you going to take the army back?"

"No, you don't need a single soldier, you can rely on the defenders of the main city of Tianshui." Suo Hanyi said: "His Royal Highness, listen to me, Sauron is extremely cunning, taking advantage of the current situation outside the Sirius Pass If the enemy camp is not stable, take the initiative to attack immediately, otherwise it will be too late."

"I have my own idea." Zhi Ning said.

A moment later, Suo Hanyi led a bodyguard to rush out of the Sirius Pass, and ran back to the main city of Tianshui at the fastest speed.

...

At this time, the main city of Tianshui was completely in chaos. Countless refugees gathered outside the outer city, and it was impossible to tell which ones were thieves and which ones were refugees.

But the more than 10,000 bandits that Sauron gathered with gold coins were still like a virus, causing harm everywhere, and the number of them was increasing.

Because, countless ruffians and rascals flocked to him and took the initiative to seek refuge.

At this time, this group of mobs headed towards the main city of Tianshui in a mighty manner.

But Sauron had mixed with the refugees and entered the main city of Tianshui a few days ago.

At this time, it was already outside the city lord's mansion. He has only one purpose, to rescue Suo Hanyi's wife Yang Hongyi.
