So Sires said: "Since Brother Jant said that, then Brother Jant will destroy this group of bandits. By the way, I will tell Brother Jant about the details of the enemy.

"In fact, the enemy commander was a brigade commander. According to the military system of Qihong Kingdom, he could only lead five thousand troops, and the remaining were about eight thousand baggage soldiers and about two thousand prisoners.

"Also, if Brother Jante can contact Zhan Tes, who is a city, his two thousand people should be able to play a big role."

When Jant heard this, he was ecstatic and hurriedly approached Cialet and patted him on the shoulder, "Haha, these information is so important. You really deserve to be a military advisor! It turns out that Gust is opening a city, and I will give him some credit, hahaha."

This time, his tone was obviously a world of difference compared to what he shouted at the beginning. Because although Zhante was eager to make contributions, he only had about 4,000 people. Although he knew it was a unit composed of new soldiers, baggage soldiers and prisoners, he was still a little vague. No matter what, they were all regular soldiers.

You should know that in the past, a brigade of regular troops could chase people from a large village to run around the mountains.

However, after the war, there are no elite soldiers. The current regular army is not as good as the thief. And knowing that there are only 5,000 soldiers who can fight on the other side, they are all new recruits, of course they are in a good mood.

He made up his mind not to greet Guters. Although he had his two thousand men who joined forces to attack him in front and back, his chances of winning were greater. However, his four thousand subordinates were all tough characters, and after military training formulated by the military advisor, it would be no problem to defeat 5,000 new recruits. Why should he share the fruits of victory with others?

There are also those prisoners who can be fought over, and then I will have 6,000 new soldiers against 5,000 new soldiers.

He did not count the baggage troops in the plan. In his memory, the baggage troops were composed of old, weak and remnants, and had no combat power at all.

After the battle is over, plus the captive soldiers who surrender, your own strength will definitely become the number one in the alliance!

Sires ignored Jente's enthusiasm at all, and his attention was on Lid, who was sitting next to him without speaking.

When Lid heard his agreement to let Jenter send troops, he first showed a puzzled look, but soon disappeared and smiled, and glanced at himself with an inexplicable look.

Depending on what I was thinking, this guy Lied is very clear.

But did he really know what he was thinking? Sires also showed a fleeting smile.

Jant immediately went out to gather the team in a hurry, and the big guys in the hall continued to discuss future plans and dispersed one after another.

Most of their spheres of influence were scattered all over the place. Today, they arrived at this mountain after receiving the call from Siret. They could not support a huge army of 30,000 in any case.

After everyone left, Cyret looked at the map on the table in detail, then took out paper and pen and wrote it.

Soon, he rolled the two notes he wrote into small paper rolls, put them in his arms, walked out of the hall, looked up at the sky and said to himself, "Now everything is ready, just wait for it to get dark."

"Sir, the scouts walked through the radius of fifty kilometers and found no robbers. They really knew how to hide. There were three cities within these fifty kilometers. All the people were recruited to cultivate within two kilometers of the city. The rest of the place was empty, and the grain fields were covered with weeds.

"They are afraid of robbers, and they don't have to be afraid of being like this. Let these fields be deserted. What should they do when the harvest is done?" Ida said in confusion while reporting the information obtained by the scout.

"This is a scorched earth strategy, which is very effective against robbers or against us. If we lack food, we or robbers will not be able to grab food at all, and we have to grab food and attack the city. This trick is really ruthless." Carlo interrupted.

When Cons heard this, he pondered for a while and said to himself: "There are three kinds of forces on this vast battlefield, robbers, lords from all over the country, and we. The scorched earth strategy implemented by each city now is said to be guarding against robbers, but in fact, it is largely a deal with us.

"If we have no food, we can only face two options. One is to retreat to the country immediately. The cities may not attack, but the robbers will definitely not miss this opportunity. The second is to attack the city and seize food, but in this way we will form hatred with the people in the city.

"If we ask them to provide food, they will definitely make excuses that there is no excess food. Even if they are willing to give us food, they will definitely reduce the amount of food to the people, and then spread rumors that it is because we do not have enough food, so that they will still make enemies with the people.

"If we make enemies with the people, it is exactly what they want. At that time, as long as we say that we can allocate enough food after independence, those people will definitely support it. Alas, those who come up with this method are really amazing."

After saying that, Cons raised his head, and then he realized that Carlo and Ida were both staring at him, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "What's wrong?"

Ida woke up and asked, "Sir, how did you come up with these?"

Cons smiled bitterly, "I just think that it is doubtful that cities have developed this scorched earth strategy. After all, only the people in this place will suffer from this strategy. Whoever wants to obtain food will lose the hearts of the people, and robbers will not care about the hearts of the people. Only our troops who have recovered their territory will care about the hearts of the people.

"And they want independence. To be independent, they must win the hearts of the people. Only in this way can they take Qihongguo away from these people's hearts in a short time. Only in this way can we become evil and they become just.

"At that time, the city lords can declare independence openly and on the grounds of resisting the inhumane Qihong Kingdom army. Even if the plan to grab food failed, they can take the opportunity to destroy us so that this place can restorate its strength."

Carlo, who was already surprised at the beginning of Cons, was even more surprised when he heard these words. Unexpectedly, Cons analyzed the matter so thoroughly. It seems that Cons is really full of unpredictable plasticity.

"But sir, our military rations can last for a few months. Can't we find traces of robbers in these few months? As long as we eliminate robbers, the city lords will have no reason to resist the central government's orders." Ida still did not believe that his army would decline to rob the people's food.

When Carlo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "Do you think the enemy will let us stay here for a few months? They must also know that we have enough food to eat for three months. If you were them, what would you do?"

"I won't come to attack our military rations, are you? You know, tens of thousands of people are protecting these foods." Ida asked in surprise.

"I don't think they are so stupid. If this is true, then we can fight them in a decisive battle." Carlo said with a frown.

The three of them were speechless. They didn't know how the enemy would attack. There was no way. After deciding to send the scouts to investigate tomorrow, Carlo and Ida surrendered to Cons.

There are already stars outside, and it is time to rest.

The next day, the scout had just been sent out, and he saw Gust, the mercenary commander who had opened a city, leaving the city with nearly a thousand people.

Ida hurriedly went to ask: "Captain Gust, where are you going?"

Gust looked at Ida with a cold look, and reluctantly pointed at the carriages escorted in the team behind him with his chin, and said, "The city lord entrusted me to send the things to Rot."

Ida walked forward curiously and knocked on the carriages, then asked, "What is inside?"

Gust's face became colder and colder, and he said coldly: "I am not your subordinate!" Then he walked away, and the mercenaries hurriedly rushed to follow him in the carriage.

A soldier beside Ida hurriedly asked, "Sir, do you want to stop them?"

Ida pondered for a while and shook her head, "No need, we have no right to seize the items transported by the mercenaries."

When Cons heard Ida's report, although he felt it was a little strange, he didn't say anything.

Several hours later, the patrolling guards suddenly found a horse covered in scars, and ran into Kaiyi City with a man covered in blood.

Before Cons and the others could open a city to ask, the fat city lord, Quor, had already trembled step by step, and ran towards the barracks with Rusner's follow. At the same time, there were several mercenaries behind him, supporting the blood-covered mercenary.

"Sir, the robber is here! The mercenary group I sent has been eliminated, and all the gifts have been taken away!" As soon as Quad saw Cons, he immediately said with a sad face.

The officers who heard this were shocked and finally learned about the robbers. They all looked at Cons eagerly, hoping that he would give the order to set off immediately.

Ida hurriedly asked, "Which direction is the robber? How many people are there?"

The mercenary who was supported hurriedly walked a few steps forward and said with difficulty: "The enemy is about 30 kilometers southwest, with about 30,000 people, and is a big robber."

When Carlo saw this mercenary, he had already stepped forward to check his wound. He couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Three or four thousand people? Haven't you sent scouts? Such a large robber can't not be exposed in advance?"

The mercenary took a breath and said ruthlessly: "Of course we have sent scouts, but when we find something wrong, we are surrounded! The regiment commander and brothers are all... all killed... only me... only me who is a slutty person..."

Speaking of the latter, the mercenary was very sad, and the pain in the wound made his cold sweat keep coming out. The mercenary on the side hurriedly comforted him.

At this time, Carlo stepped forward and whispered beside Cons, "Sir, his wounds are all real, all wounds are the kind that will kill you if you are a little bit short of your position."

Cons knew that Carlo suspected what the mercenary in front of him said, so he went to check the wound. He nodded and asked in a low voice: "So the robber is really in the southwest?"

"It's hard to confirm, because there is nothing to trust in this place. Who knows if this is a bitter plan that leads us to the bait?" Carlo replied in a distressed look.

Cons looked at the wound that was deep in the bones of the mercenary and sighed in his heart. If this was a bitter plan, then the mercenary's boss was really a powerful person who could make his subordinates willing to make such sacrifices.

"Sir, why are you still hesitating? Have you found the traces of the robber? Why..." When Kuod said this, Ida glared at him with his eyes and shook him back in fear.

Just as Cons was worried about believing this information, a loud whistling sound came from a distance. Looking up, he saw a knight running wildly from the southwest.

The soldier in charge of the guard hurriedly carried his gun and leaned forward, but after walking a few steps, he stopped because he was his own person and the scout sent in the morning.

The scout came to Cons, turned over and dismounted. Before he could breathe, he gave an anxious salute and reported: "Sir, there are about 4,000 robbers in the southwest. He will arrive here in three hours!"

Upon hearing this news, Cons and Carlo believed it, and the officers even more so.

With Cons' order, those who organized the tents, wiped the weapons, and wore armor, all the people in the entire camp were busy. Knowing the whereabouts of the enemy, these soldiers who were already old birds on the battlefield were preparing for the pre-war preparations in an orderly manner.

None of these generals and officials of Cons wanted to stay and all wanted to wipe out the robbers. Of course, Cons was not willing to leave behind a small army to guard this small town that would become an enemy. Moreover, to eliminate 4,000 bandits, the entire army would have to invest in order to minimize the losses on his side.

Ida knew the importance of military rations, and even asked those young and strong baggage soldiers to equip military rations and materials, and asked them to be alert and alert.

After an hour of preparation, Cons' army started toward the southwest, and transport vehicles followed closely behind. No one wanted the lifeblood of these troops to stay away from the troops. Although it was a lot of hard work, be careful to sail a ten thousand-year-old ship.

Lord Kuod, who had hid in the city early and closed the gate, appeared on the city wall. Looking at the back of the Cons army as they walked away, she showed a smug smile.

He said to Rusner, who had been standing beside him in a very plain tone: "Go and prepare."
