The evening breeze blows across the plains. After the winter, the willow trees outside Tongtian City turned green again. The dense cavalry formation flew across the official road and headed straight to Tongtian City.

Lin Muyu was relieved that the purple flower battle flag was still flying in Tongtian City, rather than the red cloud battle flag of the Tianji Empire.

The city gate slowly opened, and a cavalry came over, Wei Qiu.

"Your Highness."

Wei Qiu's face was not very good, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "I finally hope for His Highness and Princess Xi. If you don't come again, your subordinates will already guard the city with Qi."

Lin Muyu remained silent. Wei Qiu's words were not alarmist, but the situation had indeed developed to this point. Facing the powerful Tianji Empire, it seemed that defending the city was not a rational choice.

"Stop talking, go to the city first and call on all officers above ten thousand men to discuss the battle."

"yes."

...

Half an hour later, the Qin King's Mansion was noisy, and almost all the commanders of the army, the deputy commanders, and the executives of various prefectures and counties in Tongtian Province were here. Everyone held a statement and argued constantly.

"His Highness of the King of Qin is here." The guards' voices were very loud.

Everyone calmed down and saw Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi walking side by side into the conference hall from the side hall, and Wei Qiu, Situ Sen, Situ Xue and Feng Xi followed behind. These people were the real leaders of Tongtian Province.

"See Your Highness, meet Princess Xi, and meet Duke Wei."

After everyone bowed, Lin Muyu raised her hand and said, "No gift, map."

"yes."

The two lieutenants held the map together, their faces looking a little ugly. Obviously they already knew a lot of things.

"I just arrived in Tongtian City and tell me, how is the war going?"

A provincial county government consultant said respectfully: "Your Highness, three days ago, an army of the Liuji Corps of the Tianji Empire landed on the shore from Huwei Valley on the east coast. It took only two hours to capture Mu County in Chengzhou. In the next three days, they divided into two groups, one by the west, and successively captured Qinglu County, Cangzhou County, Xiangzhou County, etc. This morning, they received news that they began to attack Shangyuan County, Dingzhou from last night. Shangyuan County was only 200 miles away from Tongtian City, and it was very close to us."

Lin Muyu was silent.

Wei Qiu fell heavily on the table and said angrily: "Do the defenders in all places be made of mud? The imperial county town was defeated in two hours. In just three days, they were seized in Chengzhou, Xiangzhou, Dingzhou, Cangzhou, Tongtian Province, four of them were lost in three days. They were all a group of people from Chengzhou and Xiangzhou."

Among the officials, two people walked out tremblingly, their voices trembled: "The Chengzhou patrol is exercising, the Xiangzhou patrol is exercising..."

"Pull it down."

Wei Qiu's face turned pale: "Your Highness, such an incompetent person is not worthy of being an official, what do you think?"

Lin Muyu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Liuji's army is too strong, it has nothing to do with them. I'll just fine it for one year."

"yes."

Situ Sen said: "The urgent thing is what to do now, how can we deal with the attack of the Tianji Empire next time. At the latest tomorrow night, they will definitely launch an attack on Tongtian City. If Tongtian City is lost, I am afraid that the six states in the south, including Luzhou, Junzhou, and Hengzhou will definitely not be able to defend it."

Wei Qiu was the only person who had fought against the Tianji Empire army head-on, and said with a deep thought: "Their Dragon Knights' tactics are too powerful, and our magic crystal cannon is powerless to do so. We will be helpless in this."

Situ Sen looked at Lin Muyu.

All eyes also fell on him.

"Your Highness, you are talking..." a county hall consultant said carefully.

Tang Xiaoxi looked at Lin Muyu worriedly. Everyone was helpless about the tactics of the Tianji Empire. Could it be that Lin Muyu would have a way? She was really worried that such a great pressure would completely crush him.

For nearly half a minute, the incense burner in the hall was swaying around Lin Muyu. He finally raised his head and said lightly: "How many troops are there in Tongtian City."

"There are more than 50,000 people in the Longtian Camp, plus the total number of 100,000 people brought by His Highness. In addition, there are also defenders withdrawn from various prefectures and counties, with a total of about 130,000 troops." Wei Qiu said respectfully.

"Enough."

"What's enough." Wei Qiu was stunned.

Lin Muyu glanced at everyone and said, "I thought about it for a long time. Although the dragon knights of the Tianji Empire are powerful, their number is limited. They cannot guarantee that every scattered army will be covered by the Dragon Knights. Moreover, they will definitely send troops to guard our four states in a row, and they will definitely be very arrogant and domineering in their victory."

A guard was stunned: "Your Highness, you want to...attack."

"Yes, we should be the main guest. If we blindly defend and fight against them who are covered by the Dragon Knights, we will lose to the end. Instead of doing this, we might as well hide ourselves."

"Hide it." Situ Sen was confused when he heard it: "How to hide it."

"The cavalry detours. When their heads enter Tongzhou, we will hit their tails. When they turn around and bite, we will hit their waists. If there are fewer dragon knights, we will hit them wherever there are fewer dragon knights. We will not suffer any losses when we use magic crystal crossbows to hit their ordinary army without the cover of dragon knights."

Wei Qiu's eyes lit up: "Your Highness's move is really brilliant."

"no."

An old voice came from the crowd. Dingzhou Bo, who has been guarding Dingzhou for generations, walked forward with a cane and said, "Although your highness's plan is wonderful, he is a dangerous move. If the Tianji Empire does not divide its troops, they concentrate their forces to attack Tongtiancheng, then this city we have been operating for many years will probably be destroyed in the blink of an eye."

Lin Muyu said: "Dingzhou Bo is right, but if we do not divide our troops and use harassment tactics, Tongtian City may fall and a large number of imperial soldiers will also be damaged."

The Prince of Dingzhou trembled all over and said, "Although His Highness, the King of Qin, has unparalleled civil and military skills, he is too despised. Once Tongtian City is destroyed, many people will suffer. Is this what Your Highness wants to see?"

"What good is the best way for the Dingzhou Bo?" Lin Muyu asked with a smile.

A shiny light shot out from Dingzhou Bo's eyes and said, "I ordered all the troops of the prefectures and counties to gather up and hold up the king's flag to disguise themselves as the main force of our army. There is a cliff between Tongzhou and Dingzhou called 'Greedy Lang Cliff'. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as we defend the Greedy Lang Cliff, we will definitely be able to curb the offensive of the Tianji Empire and at least three or five days. And while taking advantage of these three or five days, the people in Tongtian City will be able to be transferred. Your Highness thinks what the old minister's advice is."

Lin Muyu pondered and looked up and said, "Okay, then I will appoint Dingzhou Bo as the commander of the provincial, prefecture and county military forces, and transfer the civilians in Tongtian City and the Tianlang Cliff blocking battle to you."

The man from Dingzhou was overjoyed and bowed, "The old minister will definitely live up to the holy hope."

Lin Muyu turned around and said, "Okay, let's go down and arrange it. The Longtian Camp is divided into a queue of ten thousand people, bringing enough rations and magic crystal cannons, leaving Tongtian City at night, and starting to fight each other tomorrow. Half a month later, if Tongtian City is still there, we will gather in Tongtian City. If Tongtian City falls, we will go to Luohekou Fortress to meet."

"Yes, Your Highness."

...

On the gilded corridor, the palace lights flashed with a faint light, and a row of guards remained motionless like statues.

"Your Highness."

Situ Sen touched his nose and said, "Just now, the old man from Dingzhou was so arrogant and blamed His Highness for his strategy without reason in public. Why didn't His Highness take the opportunity to kill him? I have long decided to say that Dingzhou's fish and meat people have a lot of money in Dingzhou. When he came to Tongtian City yesterday, there were ten boxes of jewelry, gold and silver alone."

"It's not that I don't want it, but I can't." Lin Muyu explained: "Liuji Corps is coming in a fierce manner. We are at the time of employment. Although Dingzhou Bo is greedy, it is already useful among the officials of Tongtian Province. As long as he can block the main force of the Tianji Empire on the Greedy Cliff, it will be a great achievement for us."

"Well, I understand."

Lin Muyu turned around and looked at Situ Sen, Wei Qiu and the other two, and said, "Let's go tonight, each of you leads an army, and then you will have to move from your own camera. Remember, you must try to avoid the main force of the Liuji Corps. No matter what method is used, whether it is a suspicious plan or arguing east and west, our strategic goal is to completely drag the Tianji Empire to the Tongtian Province and gain the most time for the border defense of the Lingdong Province."

Wei Qiu was stunned: "Your Highness has determined that we cannot repel the enemy in Tongtian Province."

"Well." Although he didn't want to admit it, Lin Muyu nodded and said, "The Liuji Corps is one of the four main forces of the Tianji Empire, and there is also a smart person like Gong Shangming to give advice. It is impossible for us to fight quickly and decide quickly. We can only seek further strategic development, give them the Tongtian Province, and then isolate them."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Lin Muyu smiled and said, "You all have to be careful... I will also lead a 10,000-person gentian camp to attack tonight, and Xiao Xi will be with me."

Situ Sen smiled: "Princess Xi's ability is enough to lead a team of ten thousand people. Your Highness is really biased. He insists on keeping the beautiful princess by his side, and we can only fight with a group of big and rough men."

Tang Xiaoxi's face turned red: "General Sen, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Muyu explained: "It's not entirely out of selfishness. I think the fundamental reason for our reversal of the situation is to kill the Dragon Knights. Their Dragon Knights are also limited. If one is killed less than one. If Xiao Xi is with me, I can take action when there are only five dragon knights. This is my real intention."

Wei Qiu and Situ Sen were shocked, and a look of admiration appeared on both of them. Such words were arrogant when others said, but Lin Muyu said them completely differently.

...

The Empire State Building is already overturning, and in this case, the only one who has the courage to kill the god-level dragon knight is probably the only one of the Qin King in front of him, one of the four Lan Yan heroes.
