The two cities of Hengsha and Dulang are distributed in angular positions with Jialan City, and their strategic position is also very important. As long as Hengsha Dulang is taken down and echoes Jialan, you can attack and retreat and defend, and logistics support can be easily supplemented by each other.

If Jialan was taken down by Cai Lun first and Hengsha Dulang could no longer be taken down by King Xiaoyao's army, it would be almost impossible for the army in the imperial capital to suppress the rebellion to defeat King Xiaoyao in one go. It would be almost impossible. It could only continue to mobilize troops from other places to siege the city from all directions and play a war of attrition with him.

Of course, if Ao Yang can lead the way to enter Jialan, even if Hengsha and Dulang are occupied by the other side, they can hold on to each other's head-on for a period of time, and cut off the connection between Hengsha City and Dulang City. As long as your reserve army arrives, you will be able to easily get back the isolated Hengsha City and Dulang City.

At this moment, five hundred miles away from Jialan City, a huge cavalry legion was flying and rushing on the way, with dust rising up, like a storm in the desert, rolling up a piece of yellow sand.

"Report... Cai Lun's cavalry is four hundred miles away from Jialan."

"Explore again, the army will accelerate forward." Ao Yang was wearing silver armor, and his silver-white helmet reflected a strong light under the sunlight. Combined with his majestic and majestic body, the general's demeanor was undoubtedly displayed.

A day later, outside Jialan City, rolling sand waves were floating, and red tassels and golden armored cavalry were approaching the city. Jialan City is a southwest Tianjian. The city wall is more than 20 meters high, and there are vanguards on both sides and the left and right, and they are unable to climb. Above the city wall, small holes that can accommodate arrows are almost invisible, but the existing arrows are facing outside, making it very conspicuous.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood there with a serious face on the top of Jialan's city, but his eyes were indeed firm and solemn. As one of the emperor's most trusted confidants, Shi Qian was appointed as the guard of Jialan. With Jialan's important position, the garrison usually has 100,000 troops. It is easy to defend Jialan. However, the cunning Xiaoyao King has long discovered this problem. Over the years, he has lied about military information every year, such as the unstable southwest border, and our army has suffered heavy casualties. We need to draw troops from various places to assist. Of course, Jialan is also inevitable.

Shi Qian, who was loyal to the seat, certainly put the empire first. Although he sent not many troops each time, there were still thousands of troops. Once sent, the army would basically not be able to come back, and the only ones who came back were injured and the elderly and weak. Then the messenger of the Xiaoyao King would blow the pain again. How fierce the border war was, hundreds of thousands of troops fought bravely to kill the enemy, bleed and sacrificed their lives for the country.

At first, Shi Qian didn't care. When he went to the battlefield, the troops he gave were basically unable to get back, and he could only continue to train the reserve army. However, after this was repeated for a while, he also communicated with other guards in the provinces and cities, and found that this was the case. At that time, they all thought that it was Xiaoyao King who asked their troops to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder. They could only resist swallowing the bitterness into their stomachs and decided to ignore Xiaoyao King in the future.

Surprisingly, King Xiaoyao never asked them about the dispatch of troops since then, but the news of good news was continuous, and the border of the empire was peaceful, saying that everyone had made contributions, which made him confused and even thought that he had blamed King Xiaoyao for wrongly.

Just five days ago, King Xiaoyao sent a correspondent again. He was startled. He saw that the correspondent was covered in mud. When he ran over, the monster unicorn horse was exhausted. The correspondent rushed to the ground and cried loudly, saying that the border crisis was already in a tough battle. The turmoil was too great to control. He asked him to send troops from the whole city to rescue him. Shi Qian hesitated and was always decisive. He couldn't take any attention for a while. Then the deputy general kept admonishing, saying that he would lead the troops and would definitely take the army back, otherwise he would not come back. Shi Qian was moved and made the decision at the time. Unfortunately, he would have misunderstood the other party's intentions. There were two meanings if he didn't come back. One was to die outside, but he just didn't come back. He obviously took it for granted that it was a meaning, and things went against his wishes, but it was the second meaning. The deputy general had gone to Qingzhou City to enjoy his happiness.

At this moment, there were less than 10,000 defenders on the city wall, and most of them were old and weak, and the others had been taken away by the deputy general. The rebels under the city formed a formation, arranged a square formation, and were preparing for the siege equipment, just waiting to take action.

Shi Qian made the final mobilization. Looking at his soldiers, everything was left to fate.

"I will die in the city!" This is Shi Qian's mood at this moment. He never thought that these old and weak soldiers could defend them. Unless a miracle happens or reinforcements from the imperial capital arrive, he can only hold on to one more point.

"Huhh..." A horn of charge sounded, and King Xiaoyao's army launched a fierce attack on Jialan with all its might, with a magnificent momentum.

A scream sounded, but it could not stop the rebels from advancing. The city gate rumbling and people continued to climb up the city wall.

With a twelve-point spirit, the soldiers on the city wall raised all their strength one by one. The stones, sand, oil pans, and fire charcoal were poured downwards, and the arrows kept coming out of the holes of the same size. Occasionally, there were a few fireballs and other fire skills raiding down with the blazing flames, screaming and screaming.

Cai Lun in the distance had a expressionless face and waved his hand. He saw a pair of light armored teams walking out behind him. Unlike ordinary soldiers, although they also had iron-blooded training in their eyes, they did not have the kind of determination to die, but with a hint of arrogance and disdain.

The flag was waving towards Jialan, and the pair of light armored troops moved forward. At the same time, a small pair of troops from behind rose up. When they sat down, they were all flying monsters. Various birds were screaming, and the morale of the rebels was greatly boosted, but the defenders on the city wall became weaker and weaker.

The technician team, the cavalry led by Cai Lun, also brought hundreds of air force technicians and hundreds of underground technicians. Faced with such a new force, the defenders on the city were vulnerable at all. Sure enough, the air force and the ground army shot over at the same time, and the temperature of the air became hot, and there were casualties on the city walls, and the soldiers guarding the city showed despair.

At this moment, hooves were heard everywhere in the distance, and the ground was trembling. After two moments, they appeared in sight. The guards shouted everywhere, their morale rebounded with all their might, and they fought back. Shi Qian led the way, bathed in the fire element, and his brilliant skills were emitted. He was also a fire technician with the cultivation of the Technique.

The one who arrived was the Aoyang Army that had been running for thousands of miles. Aoyang did not answer and directly led the army to pounce on the rebels. In the sky, an air force also soared into the air.

Cai Lun looked at the vigorous Ao Yang army with a blue face and murmured, and the rebels sounded the horn to withdraw troops. The scattered army could not withstand the several attacks of Ao Yang's new army. In that case, they would undoubtedly be defeated.

The rebels retreated like a tide in an instant, and cheers were shaking the sky. Ao Yang led all the horses to chase the enemy, until he ran for more than ten miles and killed thousands of enemies before he returned to Jialan City. Ao Yang ordered people to count the battlefield. At this moment, the Jialan city wall had been dyed black by fire.

Shi Qian opened the city gate and led the generals out to welcome Ao Yang's army. Although the battle lasted less than an hour, Shi Qian's face was full of fatigue.

"Thank you for your hard work, General Shi!" In order to show respect, Ao Yang dismounted and walked towards Shi Qian.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and do your best for the empire, how can you talk about hard work?" At this moment, Shi Qian, who was elegant in behavior, was still like the general who killed the enemy in blood just now.

Entering the city, Ao Yang arrived in time to occupy Jialan City. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was discussing strategies to defeat the enemy. Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly walked in and knelt down and said, "Report..., emergency military information, Hengsha City and Dulang City have been occupied by the enemy."

Ao Yang and Shi Qian stood up at the same time, with a serious face, and an idea appeared in their minds at the same time.

"How did they suddenly arrive at the two cities of Hengsha Dulang? There was no sound at all before."

But they didn't know that in order to ensure the safety of the situation, King Xiaoyao had already ordered two vanguard cavalry troops to take a detour and raid from the side of Hengsha Dulang City, so that even if he did not arrive in Jialan, he could still deal with it.

The hall was quiet, and Ao Yang and Shi Qian were puzzled. The rebels were singing the song, the two cities were separated by Jialan, and their rear troops were also extremely large. What conspiracy did they do this? People who have been through the battlefield for a long time will not make low-level mistakes.

A day later, Ao Yunxing's army was moving slowly. The news of Ao Yang's occupation of Jialan had reached, and they didn't need to dare to be so fast. At this time, they were only more than 200 miles away from Jialan. I believe that at this speed, they should be able to achieve it in one day.

Rot City is a city closer to Jialan. At this moment, Ao Yunxing was reaching the foot of Rot City. The walls of Rot City were quiet and the gates were open, as if we were welcoming the arrival of Ao Yunxing's army.

Seeing that no one came out to greet him, Ao Yunxing raised his eyebrows and felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything. He spoke a few words with the defenders on the city, and understood that the guards were training the reserve troops in the city, and the army advanced to Rote. At this moment, the open city gate suddenly closed slowly, and many archers suddenly appeared on the city tower, and arrows kept shooting down.

Before Ao Yunxing's troops could figure out what was going on, they were killed and injured in an instant. Someone recognized the general standing in the center on the city wall, which was actually the subordinate of King Xiaoyao. Ao Yunxing and Gupa were shocked, and all of them were shocked. They also heard news from the Xiaoyao's troops that were intercepted outside Jialan City yesterday, and how did they appear here at this time?

Gupa suddenly thought of a possibility that as soon as the rebels occupied Hengsha City and Dulang City, the entire army headed to Rot, blocking the direction of the imperial army, and then replenished troops from the rear to station in Dulang in Hengsha, and actually wanted to siege Jialan.

Gupa's breathing became anxious and rapid. King Xiaoyao was worthy of being a hero of his generation. His marching was so fast that everything was seized in front of the imperial capital's anti-rebellion army.
