This is due to the efficient work of the government, and the influence of Yingluofan. When the war mobilization order was reached, Yingluofan appeared among the people, giving speeches everywhere, and inspiring the fighting spirit of the people. Historians have a consistent view of Yingluofan as "friendly to the people, be very kind to the people, and therefore deeply loved by the people. At the same time, he is also an ambitious man with the ambition to conquer the mainland and recreate the gloriousness of the former Qinge dynasty." Unfortunately, "he did not have extraordinary talents commensurate with his ambitions. If he was not born in a chaotic world, not in a war era when heroes fought for hegemony, but in a peaceful world, with his kindness and the valuable qualities of letting his ministers go and do things, he would become a benevolent monarch who would carry on the past and open up the future."

With Ying Luofan's motivation, it is icing on the cake, and the enthusiasm of the people is even higher.

At sunset the next day, ten thousand reinforcements drove into the city. Yingluofan immediately received Captain Wan, encouraged him, and immediately organized him into the city guards.

On the third day, except for the city defense being further consolidated, nothing major happened. Yingluofan was very happy. The news from the spy that the enemy would arrive in Xiuqi City in two days.

The fourth day is the most tense day. According to the spies' report, at noon today, the enemy's vanguard will appear under the city, and at sunset, the enemy's main force will arrive. By then, the battle to defend the capital will begin.

At noon, Yingluofan, wearing a golden helmet and armor, rubbed his sore eyes and looked ahead. The expected smoke and dust were rolling, and the neat enemy formation did not appear. The earth had nothing but sprinkled with golden sunlight.

Yingluofan, who was both happy and a little disappointed, looked at the raging sun and murmured to himself: "What's going on?"

When it comes to sunset, let alone the enemy, there is not even a ghost. This is awesome. Not only Yingluofan is puzzled, but also the important officials such as Nothing are puzzled. They look at the empty earth foolishly, and there is nothing except the bloody sunset.

"The enemy will definitely not come!" I don't know who said it, his words were full of excitement and disappointment.

This sentence was immediately recognized by everyone. Nodding and nodding, the enemy would not come. Everyone relaxed and smiled. Although they could not seek excitement and were a little disappointed, war was very dangerous after all, and living was a beautiful thing. It would be impossible to be unhappy.

However, their joy did not last much time, and they left little of the wounded cavalry.

Everyone in this team of cavalry was injured, and some even lay on the horse's back and came from the war horses, not because they didn't want to control the horse, but because they were dead.

The city that was originally full of joy suddenly changed from joy to tension, as if the air suddenly solidified, quietly. Even the needles could hear it.

The rapid and monotonous sound of horse hooves came, which was so exciting, and every time it sounded, it seemed like a heavy hammer hitting a person's heart.

The officer in charge rushed to the city and shouted loudly: "Hurry up, open the door, there is an emergency military situation."

The city gate official shouted, "Which unit do you belong to?"

"We are from Chengpu Camp." The officer held up his ID, looking anxious.

As soon as he heard the Chengpu Camp, Yingluofan vaguely knew something was wrong and immediately said, "Open the door and let them in."

The city gate officer immediately opened the city gate, and a team of knights immediately entered the city. Under the surveillance of Yinglufan's guards, he came to Yinglufan's side and said, "If there is an emergency military situation, report to Lord Nott."

"Your Majesty is here. You say." Nott came out and ordered loudly.

Your Majesty." The officer knelt down and cried, "Send troops to save Chengpu Camp!"

"What's wrong with Chengpu Camp?" Yingluofan asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, we are here to ask for help from you. The Chengpu Camp was ambushed by the enemy on the way to the capital. The soldiers of the three armies fought hard, but in the end, because the enemy was in great power and could not escape, Chief Ximing ordered us to break through the siege and ask for help from Your Majesty. Your Majesty, 60,000 soldiers are looking forward to Your Majesty's rescue." The officer said in tears.

The officer's words were like a bombshell, shocking the entire city of Xiuqi, and the original joy disappeared in an instant.

The heartstrings of Noth and others suddenly tense up, and they looked at Yingluofan in unison, waiting for his decision. Especially Noth, as the Minister of Military Affairs, if Yingluofan asked him about a crime of negligence, it would not be a problem even if he cut off his head. The panic in his heart would not be clear in one sentence. His face turned pale as paper, and his whole chest was about to explode, dizzy, and he was about to fall, and the sweat beads on his forehead rolled straight to the ground one by one.

When Ying Luofan heard the bad news, his face turned pale, but he soon recovered. He held his cheek with his hands, paced back and forth, and his mind was moving rapidly, thinking about countermeasures.

This decision is difficult to make, and it is obvious that it has been deceived by the enemy. The enemy had no intention of attacking a strong city like Xiuqi City, so he set up a suspicion array and acted as if he wanted to attack Xiuqi City, which made Yingluofan feel something wrong and transferred the army of Chengpu Camp out. After losing the available fortifications, the army of Chengpu Camp could only be slaughtered.

If Ying Luofan had guessed well, the 60,000 troops in the Chengpu camp would be almost destroyed at this time. In this case, reinforcements will not only be meaningless, but will also create opportunities for the enemy, and may even eat the reinforcements. But if there is no reinforcements, with his kindness, he will not bear to let his subjects die, and he will not be able to save them without any effort. Ying Luofan would not want to see them, nor would he bear to see them.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Ying Luofan still found it difficult to make up his mind and asked the officer: "How long can Chengpu Camp last?"

The officer said without thinking: "Your Majesty, if the enemy attacks fiercely, it will take at most two days. If the enemy attacks not fiercely, it will be fine for a week."

"When you leave, will the enemy's attack be fierce?" Ying Luofan's eyes lit up much.

"It was very fierce at the beginning. Under the first wave of the enemy's attack, we lost nearly 30,000 people. Later, the enemy's offensive became much weaker." The officer stated, and before Ying Luofan asked again, he continued: "However, the offensive is still very strong."

"The enemy's offensive was extremely fierce at the beginning. In order to weaken the Chengpu camp, the offensive became weaker and they broke out to report the news. This was a bait, in order to lure the army in the city away from the thick walls of the city. In order to eliminate our army in the field, it's such a precise calculation!" Ying Luofan thought about it in his heart, and had to secretly praise it, and asked the officer, "Did you see the enemy's banner?"

"Your Majesty, the banner of the enemy who attacks us is the banner of the Xiangcheng defenders." The officer replied immediately.

"You guys go down and rest first!" Yingluo Fan said.

The guard took the officer down, and the officer said in tears: "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of brothers are waiting for your Majesty's reinforcements."

"I understand." Yingluofan waved his hand.

Yingluofan looked at the officer's back and said, "My dear friends, what are your good plans?"

"Your Majesty, send troops quickly! At least you have to rescue the remaining troops." Nott said immediately. He was the idea of ​​mobilizing Chengpu Camp. If some of them could be rescued, he would have less responsibility, so he had no choice but to be in a hurry.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers also held this view. Now the city needs the most. If tens of thousands of troops can be rescued, their strength will be much stronger and they will sleep more peacefully.

"Have you ever thought about the problem here? The enemy who attacked Chengpu Camp was the Xiangcheng defender, the Xia Hua who defeated our coalition in Xiangcheng. The Xiangcheng defender was only tens of thousands. In addition, the Shenfeng Fortress was only about 100,000. Even if he had the courage to go deep into our hinterland, our spies discovered that the enemy's banners include the Flying Lion Army, the Queen Army, and the Leopard Shadow Army, which were the main forces of the enemy. Have you ever thought about the problem?" Yingluofan asked.

Yingluofan could no longer understand the meaning, that is, the number of enemies is more than 200,000, and the main force of the Flying Lion Legion is in Silk City. In this case, they all sent troops, plus the two main legions of the Queen's Legion, the Leopard Shadow Legion, and the army of Xiangcheng and Shenfeng Fortress. Then the operation planned by the Blue Moon Empire was obviously planned for a long time and was prepared. Since the enemy dared to enter the hinterland of the Xiuka Kingdom, they must be fully prepared, and attacking the Chengpu Camp is only part of it.

The ministers vaguely knew what Yingluofan meant, that was, not to reinforce Chengpu Camp and abandon them.

Hundreds of thousands of enemy troops entered the hinterland and approached the capital. The most important political, political and military centers like the capital are the best targets. They will never fail to attack Xiuqi City and destroy the Chengpu Camp first, in order not to concentrate the army of the Xiuka Kingdom and reduce the pressure of siege. In order to eat the Chengpu Camp, the enemy must be prepared. Maybe the enemy has been waiting for reinforcements in the city. Leaving the cover of the high city of Xiuqi City, the thick walls of the enemy with a numerical advantage is very simple to eat the reinforcements.

Looking at the overall situation, in order to preserve strength, abandoning the city and general camp is a last resort.

Reason told the ministers that Yingluofan's choice was correct, and emotionally they still couldn't accept it, so no one praised him and said that Yingluofan's wise and powerful flattery.

The ministers saw two tears falling from Yingluofan's eyes, gently took off their crowns, and faced the surrounded West of Chengpu Camp, silently. The ministers also took off their hats and looked at the West with tears in their eyes.

Suddenly, Yingluofan and his team were awakened by a rapid sound of horse hooves. Looking around, a team of cavalry rushed from the west, everyone was injured, blood-stained, and in a mess.

"It must be the last batch, the Chengpu Camp is over." Yingluofan thought he was here to tell him the news that the Chengpu Camp is over, but the officer's words made him understand the wrong judgment."

The officer shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly, emergency military newspaper."

The city gate official opened the city gate without waiting for the order and put the group in.

As soon as the officer entered the door, he brought the guards to Yinglufan.

Yingluofan said hurriedly: "You are from Chengpu Camp? How is the situation now?"

When the officer saw Ying Luofan wearing an imperial robe, he immediately bowed down and cried, "Your Majesty, please send troops quickly and save Chengpu Camp! We can't hold on anymore." (To be continued)
