Choose three out of ten at the beginning, summon ten gods to dominate the other world

Standing on the top of the city watching the battle, Long Tian couldn't help but sigh. A decision made by the superiors would lead to countless people fighting to death. This is the charm of power.

If you want to control your own life, you must keep making progress to control your own destiny.

"Your Highness, there are indeed internal responses in the city. Even if we control some people, there are still people who start riots. General Dian Wei has led people to clear them out."

Long Tian had expected that even if we control some people, it would be impossible to clean them up in a short time. Sure enough, some people still took action.

This further confirmed Long Tian's guess. If it was an ordinary civil uprising, these families would not be able to participate.

Long Tian nodded, without saying anything, believing that Dian Wei could handle it well.

The battle outside the city continued. A war of this scale would not end in a short time even if the strength was unequal.

Li Cunxiao and Yuwen Chengdu led the army to fight the enemy head-on, while Bai Qi led 10,000 heavy armored cavalry to continuously intersperse and attack the enemy's army.

At noon, the enemy army was defeated, leaving behind countless corpses and began to retreat.

Bai Qi and his men did not chase after them. After fighting for a whole morning, they were already exhausted and it was no longer suitable to fight.

However, this battle was a great victory. At least half of the enemy troops were killed or wounded, while Long Tian's losses were not great.

Even the losses of the Yucheng City Guards were within controllable range. After all, they were not the main force and were taken care of by the Zhenbei Army. They fought very happily in this battle and mainly took advantage of the situation.

"Your Highness, the enemy was defeated and our army was also very tired. This battle is not suitable for further fighting."

Bai Qi and his men quickly led the army back to the city and reported to Long Tian the reasons for not chasing the enemy.

"Order the army to rest, make fire and cook, prepare more meat, and take good care of the war horses."

These war horses played a big role in this battle, but even if one person rode two horses, they were exhausted. After all, they were heavy armored cavalry.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will arrange everything."

Soon, everyone returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Your Highness, after this battle, the city guards saw our strength and their confidence increased greatly. This is a good start for us to control Zongzhou."

What Jia Xu saw was not the outcome of a battle, but a long-term plan.

"Yes, the noble families and officials in the city also took the opportunity to clean up, and Yucheng is basically under our control."

Long Tian was very satisfied. After one battle, he achieved several goals.

"Your Highness, I just got intelligence that the enemy retreated."

After this battle, Lin Jun decided to lead the army back and rely on the city wall to defend, otherwise it would be too passive.

"Forget it, let's run away. We are not in a hurry to attack. Let's prepare first."

After the battle, both sides fell into peace, waiting for the next battle.

A few days later, the first batch of Zongzhou City Guards arrived to support.

There were not many people, only 20,000.

"Bai Qi, you must find a way to directly control the newly arrived city guards. Once these people come, they cannot be let go."

Long Tian has his own plan to mobilize the city guards for support. After these people arrive, they cannot be let go.

Many of these city lords are not King Wen's men. They also hope to wipe out the rebellious army as soon as possible. Anyway, it is not all their forces, so they don't think much and send people to deal with it. After all, Long Tian has the imperial edict.

If anyone retreats at this time, he will be defined as an accomplice of the city rebellion army, and some small city lords can't stand it.

Therefore, even the city lords who have surrendered to King Wen have symbolically sent troops.

The total number, plus the Yucheng City Guards, has reached 400,000, which is considered a strong force.

Long Tian handed them all to Bai Qi and told Bai Qi that no matter what method he used, these 400,000 troops must be controlled.

Lucheng is the border city between Xia and the alliance of all nations, and it is also the home of King Wen Xiao Chenghao. After years of operation, this place has become Xiao Chenghao's one-man show.

At this moment, Xiao Chenghao is furious.

"Asshole, Long Tian, ​​this asshole, why did he come to Zongzhou instead of guarding his northern border?"

"You are also trash. Only 10,000 cavalry and 60,000 Zhenbei Army defeated your 300,000 people and lost nearly 200,000. What's the point of this king raising you trash?"

The Zhenbei Army is strong, but it shouldn't have suffered such a big loss.

"Your Majesty, the heavy armored cavalry in the northern border is very powerful. Not only are they well-equipped, but the quality of the soldiers is also very high. Almost all of them are fifth-grade warriors. We are really no match."

Lin Jun, who came to ask for help, had a sad face. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe that there was a legion of fifth-grade warriors, and it was the most powerful heavy armored cavalry. What should he do?

"Shut up and stop making excuses for your failure."

Xiao Chenghao didn't believe it at all. There was no fifth-grade army in the entire Xia country. How could a loser have it?"Prince, how should we deal with it?"

Seeing that Xiao Chenghao didn't believe it, Lin Jun didn't dare to say more. If he angered the prince, he might even be killed.

"Contract the troops and focus on defense. I want to see what use Long Tian's cavalry can still be."

"Notify our people to start a rebellion immediately and let Long Tian be too busy to take care of himself. The Zhenbei Army has only so many people. I want to see how Long Tian responds."

Soon, King Wen made arrangements based on the shortcomings of Long Tian's troops.

Recently, Long Tian has not been in a hurry to attack, but has given Bai Qi enough time to control the city guards of Zongzhou.

"Your Highness, the latest intelligence shows that six cities, including Yanyang City, Yihu City, Rencheng City, and Fengluo City, have rebelled one after another."

These cities are all behind Long Tian. If the troops of several cities are combined, they will form a siege on Long Tian.

"Your Highness, this must be the work of King Wen. He wants us to be too busy to attack. Moreover, our military strength is limited. Once the loss is too great, we will have to retreat to the northern border, and this rebellion will fail."

"By then, I'm afraid we will become the target of the court, and King Wen's troubles will be over. When the court army arrives in Zongzhou, it will be too late."

Jia Xu instantly saw the truth.

"It should be so, but this seems to be our opportunity."

Long Tian also knew the reason.

"Yes, Your Highness, these cities are not rebellious, and we have no reason to occupy them. Not only that, we can also enter other cities in the name of preventing rebellion, but our current military strength is probably not enough."

"We can't completely trust the city guards of Yucheng in this matter. After all, these city guards are from various cities."

This is indeed an opportunity, but Long Tian does not have enough troops at the moment.

"Your Highness, we can transfer troops from the northern border. At the same time, we can disband the city guards of Yucheng and send them to different cities. As long as they are not from the cities where they came from, there shouldn't be any problems."

Bai Qi also understood that this was indeed an opportunity.
