First emperor of the human race

Chapter 55 Hirano City Falls, Eastern Battlefield Falls
And thus a wonderful misunderstanding was born.

Su Chen didn't know how to predict. When the second prince was alarmed that Linshan City sent cavalry, he accidentally let one of them escape. In fact, the second prince had already guessed that the Si family army in the city might have withdrawn.

But he was suspicious by nature, so he sent people to collect the corpses of 38 cavalry and put them under Linshan City for demonstrations. At the same time, he kept sending soldiers to make tentative attacks.

Prefect Liu didn't know anything about the second prince's prudence and thoughts.

Today, by coincidence, the image of the emperor is inevitably deified in Liu Taishou's mind.

The night passed quickly, and Zhao Yun sent people to collect all the supplies of the rebel camp, and brought the people and the army back to Linshan City. Connect with Li Ji.

Inside the prefect's mansion.

"You said, on the northern battlefield, there is still the third prince's army? It's just that he withdrew a month ago?"

"Yes, to tell you the truth about General Zhao, the Eight Kings originally surrounded the imperial capital on all sides in order to stretch the front line and make Si Yu exhausted. On each side of the battlefield, two rebel princes fought together."

Taishou Liu had already washed himself up, he sat on the right side of the main seat and started, nodded and said: "The Si family army is indeed very capable in combat, the eight princes have tried their best, and the Si family army can resist the next round of attacks. Originally, after Si Yu withdrew his troops, the situation in the northern battlefield became very dangerous, but not long ago, the third prince's army suddenly withdrew without a trace, leaving only the second prince's 20 troops behind."

"How many people are there in the army that the third prince withdrew?"

"At least 15 people. If they hadn't retreated suddenly, Linshan City would have fallen long ago."

"15 million?"

Zhao Yun frowned tightly, he was a little uncertain to pay attention at this moment.

Originally, Zhao Yun planned to rectify in Linshan City, and after Li Ji joined him, he would divide into two groups.

Go all the way directly to the fiefdom of the second prince, conquer the northern battlefield cities that fell along the way; another way to support the other three battlefields, and speed up the speed of quelling the Eight Kings Rebellion.

But now Liu Taishou told him that there is still an army of 15 people that has disappeared and is hard to find.

Great Xia Zhiguang, who knows where they are hiding?
If they wait until Linshan City doesn't have too many troops to stay behind, will they come out and besiege Linshan City again?

You must know that Zhao Yun's next layout is based on the fact that there is no large-scale enemy army in the direction of the southern battlefield. If all the cavalry are sent to support other battlefields, Linshan City will no longer be able to withstand another big battle.

But if they just guard Linshan City, it will drag the [-] Daxia Town Guards to Linshan City in vain, unable to complete the tactical layout of supporting the Quartet issued by the emperor.

"In the past few days, let's rectify the affairs of Linshan City first, strengthen the defense facilities and defense lines inside and outside the city, and discuss this matter after Li Ji enters Linshan City."

Soon, Zhao Yun made up his mind.

Didn't the emperor send Li Ji over to be a military adviser?
This person must have some skills. When Li Ji comes, let's see if he has any good opinions.

"Here."

Taishou Liu was very self-aware, and quickly cupped his fists, saying: "General, I have prepared a house for you, which is near here, how about you."

"No, I will live in the schoolyard in the city, eat and sleep with the soldiers, and deal with the prisoners at the same time."

Zhao Yun shook his head, and politely declined: "This is a time of war, when the spear never leaves the hand, and the armour never leaves the body."

"General Gao Yi."

Liu Taishou saluted with a serious face.

Linshan City is the city farthest from the imperial capital. As Zhao Yun quelled the turmoil in the Linshan City battlefield, reinforcements from the other three battlefields of the imperial capital also rushed to their respective battlefields to provide support. Most of them made initial contact with the defensive city.

The northern battlefield was the closest to the imperial capital. On the second day after Zhao Yun finished the Linshan City battlefield, Bai Qi led the [-] Great Xia Iron Army to arrive.At this time, when the battlefield was in truce, Bai Qi led the army into the city smoothly, and joined the [-] defenders in the city.

The [-] defenders were seized from Si Yu by the eunuchs of the northern battlefield. Without the bloody fighting of the [-] regular troops, the northern battlefield would not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements.

On the west battlefield, there was no army in the city, just like the prefect Liu, the city prefect on the west battlefield encouraged the people to resist. When the battlefield was retreating steadily, Li Yuanba led [-] personal guards to kill.

Although there were only 300 people, Li Yuanba was unparalleled in bravery. He directly joined the battlefield and killed three Nirvana masters in the rebel army on the spot.

Two days later, Guan Yiwu rushed to the western battlefield with his army and provisions, and the situation on the western battlefield was completely stabilized.

On the second day after Zhao Yun defended Linshan City, Su Chen also rushed to Hirano City, the main line of defense on the eastern battlefield.

Hirano City, endless as far as the eye can see, is the wilderness. It is the most defenseless city on the four sides of the battlefield, and it is also the closest place to the defense line of the Eastern Border of the Beast Empire.

……

At this time, Hirano City was fifty miles away.

Su Chen was wearing white armor and a long sword on his waist, looking towards the direction of Hirano City.

Along the way, Su Chen always felt restless. He deliberately stopped fifty miles away from Hirano City and sent a team to investigate.

"Emperor, I sent people to investigate, and after many inquiries, it was confirmed that Hirano City has fallen!"

Lei Zhenzi reported in a deep voice, and saluted Su Chen respectfully.

As soon as Lei Zhenzi finished speaking, the captains of the nearby Yulin Army Academy were in an uproar.

"Has Hirano City fallen?"

"how can that be!"

"The eastern battlefield should be the last place where Si Yu withdrew his troops. It stands to reason that Hirano City should be the least likely place to lose!"

The school captains all looked at each other, it wasn't that they didn't obey the rules and lost their composure in front of the emperor, it was just that the news was too shocking.

According to the routes and battlefield traces explored by the Royal Forest Army, Si Yu should have retreated in the direction of Eastern Xinjiang, and the time for the Si Family Army to retreat should not exceed three days.

No matter how incompetent the Si family army was, they only retreated for three days before the rebels captured Pingye City?

Aren't they afraid that this is a trick of the Si family army to lure the enemy?

In other words, the prefect in Hirano City surrendered to the enemy?
Otherwise, even if the Si family army retreats and there are no soldiers in the city, they can at least rely on the city wall to organize manpower to delay for a few days.

"As expected."

Su Chen frowned: "Pingye City is surrounded by flat mountains, easy to attack and difficult to defend; although Hirano City is closest to the Eastern Border, it is also the most difficult place to defend on all sides."

The reason why Su Chen didn't want Sima Yi to come was because of the difficulty in defending Hirano City.

The other cities on the eastern battlefield are much easier to defend than Hirano City, but Hirano City, which is the core defense line in the east, is the most difficult to defend.

As long as the rebels take down Hirano City, they can go all the way unimpeded and directly send troops to approach the imperial capital.

At this time, the fall of Hirano City means that the entire eastern battlefield has fallen, and there is no defense in the imperial capital, which is at stake!
Hirano City must be taken back!
But at present, Su Chen only has [-] Imperial Forest Army in his hand, all of them are cavalry. Originally, he used this [-] Imperial Forest Army to defend Hirano City.

If you want to use [-] cavalry to attack the city, no matter how difficult Hirano City is to defend, the height and thickness of the city wall are still there, and it is impossible for [-] cavalry to attack it.

The cavalry attacking the city can only be described as whimsical.

Unless the city is empty and there are no rebel soldiers defending the city!

"The scouts sent by the minister caught several spies of the rebel army. I confirmed the intelligence information from them. At the same time, I also lurked around Hirano City and saw that the flag on the top of the city was replaced with the flag of the rebel army."

Lei Zhenzi spoke in a deep voice.

"Oh?"

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, waved his hand and said, "Bring the rebel spies here."
