At the station of Cons in the city, Xiang Wen was also reporting information to Cons: "Lord, the fourth prince has a good meal and accommodation for us, and does not force us to participate in the defense of the city. The purpose is to let them leave the city and go out to fight with the grassland soldiers after defeating the siege troops."

Cons nodded and said, "Well, so that's the case. I wonder why we have been here for so many days. The Fourth Prince just asked us to rest and even directly transferred the troops who promised to join the alliance. In order to make us feel at ease, he directly pulled all the officers away without leaving any left. It turned out that it was because of this.

"But it's not surprising that there are very few cavalrymen in the southwest. Apart from the scouts, only officers at the level of the corps commander or above have a mount, and there is no cavalry unit at all."

Xiang Wen shook his head with a smile: "Master, the truth is not the case. They want us to go out for field battles, but because the Southwest Army was afraid of being beaten by the grassland soldiers, they dared not fight with the grassland soldiers at all, so they treated us especially preferentially. Who told us that we had never fought with the grassland soldiers? Moreover, we had tens of thousands of cavalry!"

"I dare not fight against the grassland soldiers in the field? I only dare to fight against the grassland soldiers in the city defense? This is a bit troublesome. I originally wanted to bring the 100,000 soldiers handed over to the battlefield." Cons shook his head helplessly.

"Lord, no matter what, these 100,000 soldiers still have to be brought to the battlefield and use victory to restore their confidence. Otherwise, such elite troops can only be used to defend the city, which is really a waste." Xiang Wen hurriedly suggested.

"Well, it's the case when you say that. How is the situation in the grassland?" Cons asked.

"There is no reply yet, but our people left with the team that transported the robberies. Even if we cannot find out the secrets of the esoteric Buddhism immediately, we should know where the robberies were transported."

Xiang Wen asked in a little puzzled manner when he said this: "Master, since the entire grassland has been polluted by secret teachings, why do they still have to fight for spoils? Can these polluted grasslanders still be craftsmen?"

"These grassland people who are crazy cannot be craftsmen. They are so eager for spoils. It is probably because of their subconscious actions, even if they are crazy, they will plunder materials. The second is that the esoteric Buddhism needs such actions to cover up people's eyes and ears. Of course, the esoteric Buddhism must also need these espouses." Cons said.

"In this case, the Secretariat must have a huge factory. Such a huge factory is easily discovered even if it hides in the mountains and forests. I believe that as long as the Secret Guard finds a trace of clues, he can find the base camp of the Secretariat." Xiang Wen said.

"Well, let this matter aside for the time being. Took 10,000 people from the troops we brought to strengthen the training of the city defense battle, and then join the city defense battle to avoid the fourth prince and the others from attacking. According to the current progress, the grassland cavalry will be able to rush up to the city wall in about two days."

"Well, the city wall is ready, right?" asked the Fourth Prince.

"Yes, we have made preparations and we will ensure that they will leave at least tens of thousands of corpses on the top of the city as before!"

The subordinate immediately said excitedly.

The fourth prince didn't care much about such a guarantee, because for the fourth prince, it was not honor but shame, because he was forced by the grassland people to have to engage in city defense battles and did not dare to go out of the city to fight in the field.

After these days of battle, from the fourth prince to the servants, everyone knew that relying on the city to defend could block the crazy attacks of the grassland people. If they were fighting in the field, they would not be able to resist those grassland soldiers who were extremely crazy for an hour.

It can be said that the Fourth Prince's troops have actually lost confidence in field battles.

The fourth prince knew this. The reason why he agreed to join the Unified Alliance was not only to open up a trade route, but also to the Alliance Army, an army that did not know the power of the grassland soldiers. In order to let the Alliance Army fight a field battle for Bai Ji, the Fourth Prince even spent a large amount of 100,000 out of 200,000 elite troops to show his sincerity. Of course, this also means to enhance the strength of the Alliance Army.

After all, if you don’t engage in field battles, you will not be able to completely eliminate the grassland soldiers, and you will not be able to recover your territory.

"What is Cons in now?" asked the fourth prince.

"Mr. Cons is now reorganizing our 100,000 elites. Your Majesty, after he came to us, he only went up to the city tower for the first few days. After that, either reorganizing our 100,000 elites or training the soldiers he brought, did not bring much help to us. We also provided food, accommodation, and sending soldiers." The subordinate said a little indignantly. The Fourth Prince smiled and said, "He is really trying to help us, because only by confirming the belongings of the 100,000 elites can he use these 100,000 elites as his arms. You must know that our 100,000 elites are all infantry and the main force defending the city."

"These 100,000 elite soldiers were originally ours. In the past, we could rely on 200,000 elite soldiers to defend the city, but now we can only rely on 100,000 elite soldiers and a group of new recruits to defend the city, and our strength has dropped a lot." The subordinate muttered.

"It's not a loss for us to give him a hundred thousand elites, because once the city guard is victorious, his tens of thousands of cavalry will have to take on the task of attacking the city. I think only those who have not fought with the grassland people will do such a task."

The Fourth Prince's words were a bit bitter because he personally admitted that his subordinates did not dare to fight against the grassland people. On the ladder, he used a knife to pry open the gap in the shield and rushed in to kill people. Of course, the shield soldiers had already used machetes and spears to wait for the arrival of the grassland soldiers. The result of the battle between the two sides was just to see who was unlucky and who was lucky.

Although most of the grassland soldiers were killed by shield soldiers who had been prepared for a long time, some of the strong war horses or his own strong grassland soldiers successfully defeated the shield and climbed the city tower.

These grassland soldiers with no horses immediately rolled around the ground, waving their swords, while those with horses immediately blinded the eyes of the war horses, and then urged the crazy war horses to rush around regardless of the surrounding weapons.

The madness of these people will of course cause the shield soldiers in their standing area to be in chaos. However, the death-time attack of a few people will not cause much damage to the Southwest Army all over the city tower. The grassland soldiers were quickly killed, and the casualty shield soldiers were quickly overtaken by the substitute.

However, because of the vanguard's sacrifice, he bought the most important time for the ten thousand reinforcements behind him. When the Southwest Army turned its attention outside the city, tens of thousands of subsequent prairie cavalry had rushed to the front tower, and dozens of cavalry in front had raised their front legs and knocked them down.

This is not as good as the few horses just now. The knocks of these dozens of war horses were really loud. Dozens of shield soldiers in the front row screamed and held their arms and fell to the ground. Good luck, they rolled and crawled to the side to avoid a disaster, and the bad luck was directly broken by the horse's hooves and shields.

These grassland soldiers are smarter than vanguards. The first batch of dozens of cavalry's front hooves fell, and the rear hooves then shrank to the city tower, and then the hooves fell down again.

The story is long, but it is actually only a few seconds. Anyway, the grassland cavalry that rushed behind them used the hoofs of war horses to quickly advance and expand the range of the city.

Although dozens of cavalry and grassland soldiers were rampant, their number was too small. They were killed by the Southwest Army after just being raised twice. However, because the place was expanded, the nearly 100 cavalry and grassland soldiers were not so easy to solve. When the 100 cavalry and grassland soldiers died, the more than a thousand grassland soldiers suddenly climbed to the city tower.

After the thousand cavalry climbed the city tower, they immediately rode their horses to charge wildly, using their war horses to rush east and west, while waving their swords to kill desperately. The thousand cavalry grassland soldiers stalked everywhere like hornets. The shield troops on the city tower were immediately broken by these grassland soldiers who didn't care about the pain of life and death.

Of course, the Southwest Army knew that if the thousand cavalry did not stop the expansion of the activity space and allowed the continuous advance of nearly 10,000 cavalrymen behind, the city would be in danger.

Under the rebuke of the officer, the shield soldiers couldn't help but roared immediately, gritted their teeth and held the shield to resist the impact of the war horses. The soldiers behind immediately picked up a spear of four or five meters and put it on the shoulders of the shield soldiers in front, and then slaughtered at the grassland soldiers regardless of the matter.

The screams of people and horses mixing together immediately sounded. The space that had been expanded by hundreds of meters of land slope was centered on the dozens of meters of earth. With such screams, they were quickly compressed by the shield soldiers to less than one hundred meters of space. When the spearmen were squeezed into a semicircular shape, the space gradually shrank.

Finally, when the last grassland soldier who climbed the city tower was killed, the cavalry below were suddenly rolled out by a large number of rolling wood, throwing stones, and arrows were knocked back to the foot of the earth slope, and the city tower was

His subordinate also knew the truth. Although these southwestern troops are extremely strong and dare to fight and kill, the prerequisite for them to fight with the grassland people is to defend the city, that is, to defend the conditions for their family to be immune to invasion. If they are allowed to leave the city to fight, although they can still obey orders and attack the grassland people, they will lose the momentum they were when they defended the city.

Moreover, the grassland people were born with cavalry. When they fought, the elite infantry on their side would end up losing.

This situation has happened countless times, so now, you don’t have to worry about defending the city, but you can’t feel at ease when fighting in the field.

But if you can't fight in the field, you can't really destroy the grassland people, and you can't recover the lost land. Now I can only hope that Cons's cavalry troops can defeat the grassland people in the field. Otherwise, they can only guard the last southwest province, and in the end they either rely on others or are destroyed by the grassland people. Don't think about the king's hegemony anymore.

Knowing that he had to rely on the Unified Alliance Army and the Grassland Army to fight the field battle, this subordinate wisely stopped complaining about Cons's behavior of eating 100,000 people but not working. Instead, he felt that the treatment should be improved. In this way, when he was about to go out of the city to fight, Cons was embarrassed to refuse.

"Those 100,000 elites didn't cause trouble for Cons, did the Fourth Prince ask again.

"No, because we have transferred all the officers above the tenth throne, but only gave Lord Cons 100,000 soldiers. With His Majesty's orders and losing the management of the officers, they dare not resist Lord Cons. However, Lord Cons may be worried about the lack of officers. Lord Cons drew a large number of people from his cavalry to serve as middle-level officers, but the low-level officers allowed the 100,000 elite soldiers to elect themselves." The subordinate replied.

"Haha, he is bold. Grassroots officers asked soldiers to elect themselves? They are not afraid of these people not obeying the command. No matter what, they are all from my southwest. How dare they be so relieved?" The Fourth Prince said with a smile.

My lower lip trembled but didn't say anything.

Dare he said that once the soldiers were elected and appointed, their loyalty became Cons, the person who gave them official positions and opportunities? Can you say that your Majesty, you don’t know that the lower-level personnel are just mothers?

I dare not, since I dare not, I won’t say that, so that His Majesty can still be loyal to him even if his people are given to Cons.

"I heard that Cons has a very high-quality and meticulous work force, so you should pay attention to the personnel who are sending people to monitor Cons. Don't spy on any secrets. Just pay attention to whether Cons has repentance." The fourth prince ordered.

"Yes, the subordinates will receive the order." The subordinates said immediately, but they didn't care.

Any leader has a meticulous army, which must be used for inquiries about enemy intelligence or assassination of the opponent. It seems to be very powerful. In fact, if you say it thoroughly, it is just because you are preparing to use a trick. Your real ability is not as good as that of elite soldiers, so your subordinates do not think that there is any meticulous place in Kons' meticulous work and it has been completely recovered by the Shield Soldier.

The sound of trumpets came from outside the city. The grassland soldiers who were about to continue to rush to the slopes turned around without saying a word, and the rain of arrows that only the cavalrymen climbed the city stopped completely.

Seeing the grassland soldiers outside the city retreating back to the barracks, cheers immediately sounded on the city tower, and the first city defense battle was over.

Cons, who had been impatient for a long time, was lifted because he confirmed that the enemy troops had returned to the camp, immediately rushed to the city tower with Xiang Wen and others. He saw that the wooden buildings on the city tower were all filled with arrows, and even the stone walls had hundreds of powerful arrow branches swaying. The shields on the city tower all became hedgehogs.

Just these can tell how violent the arrow rain encountered by the soldiers on the city tower is, and how miserable the people who died by the arrow are.

The casualties on the Southwest Army were carried down by the civilians who had been prepared, while the bodies of the grassland soldiers were directly thrown down the city tower by the civilians. After piled up a hundred pieces, they fell down the tincture oil and burned them, and then they changed places to throw the corpse and burn it.

A large number of civilians began to repair the city tower and replace the city defense facilities, and dragged away the injured and dead horses. The soldiers who had just fought hard also began to line up under the command of the officers, and at the same time, a group of strong soldiers who had eaten, drank and slept enough.

Everything was in order. Cons looked at the rotational soldiers and asked the attendant beside him: "How many times did it take to rotate from the war to the complete defeat of the grassland soldiers?"

"Although we fought with us after retreating to this province, and we have killed more than 200,000 of them, we have never really repelled them. Just look at their tens of thousands of people and they are still siegeing the city fiercely. However, if we consume tens of thousands of people every time, there will be at least one month of peace." The attendant did not answer how many times it would take to rotate to allow the other party to retreat and recuperate for a month.

Hearing this, Cons was stunned: "Ten thousand people will retreat? I see that there are at least three or four thousand corpses? In other words, there are two more rounds of offensives just now, and these grassland soldiers will retreat to recuperate for a month?"
