    Xuanwu was stunned when he glanced at it. The map centered on the Difeng City that the Shenwu Legion is going to attack now, and marked the distribution of the Shenwu Legion's troops, the route of the Shenwu Legion's food and grass escort, the garrison and strength of the magic force attacking troops on the way, and  The estimates of the forces in the underground city, the number of troops that may exist around the underground city waiting to be encircled, etc., are extremely detailed, and the assessments are well-founded and authentic.  Xuanwu was surprised and said: "Brother, your map is much more detailed and superior than the Marshal's."

    　　Haobo said: "Stop flattering, watch out, here, seventy miles east of Difeng City, in the Luoxing Mountains, is an area called Yixiantian. Yixiantian is located in the middle of Luoxing Mountains, and it is the only place where we withdraw our troops and return home  The path, we attacked Difeng City a few days ago, and we passed by here. Originally, the Luoxing Mountain Range was a whole mountain, blocking the east of Difeng City. In the past, from Difeng City to the Mowu Territory on the east side of Luoxing Mountain, we had to bypass Luoxing Mountain  , at least hundreds of miles away. This is undoubtedly very inconvenient for the Mowu Kingdom to attack our Shengyuan Empire. Therefore, the fifth generation of the Mowu Kingdom resolutely sent 100,000 troops and nearly 200,000 laborers  Craftsmen spent fifteen years digging through Luoxing Mountain, and dug out this mountain road called Yixiantian. With the opening of Yixiantian, the distance from Difeng City to Luoxingshan Mountain has been shortened at least.  Ten days. It will save a lot of labor and effort for the army of the Mowu Kingdom to invade the Shengyuan Empire and the turnover of food and grass."

    　　 Xuanwu nodded, recalling the topography of Yixiantian, frowned and said: "On both sides of this Yixiantian, there are tall Luoxing Mountains, and the narrow mountain road is only less than 40 feet wide.  Difficult to attack, very dangerous, and there is a momentum that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it."

    　　Hao Bo nodded approvingly and said: "That's right. According to the information I learned about what happened to my food escort team and the news that I sent 'Zhongyong' guards to investigate, it can be vaguely inferred that the south, north, and west sides of Difeng City are about  Sixty miles away, there is a large army of the Mowu Kingdom with a strength of nearly 100,000. The strength of Difeng City is not the 100,000 remnants and defeated generals previously known, but the 200,000 elite Mowu army. You  Think about it, tomorrow when our Shenwu Legion is attacking Difeng City with all its strength, the three major legions will suddenly appear and join forces to encircle it, and then the 20,000 Magic Martial Army Cavalry Legion 40 miles away will seize and guard the first line of sky.  How about it……"

    　　Cold sweat broke out on Xuanwu's forehead immediately, and he murmured: "Then my Shenwu Legion's 400,000-strong army, wouldn't it be a turtle in an urn?"

    　　 Haobo said coldly: "That's right! Therefore, Xuanwu, Yixiantian, the only escape route for our entire army, must be controlled by our army. Soldiers are precious and fast, and late changes.  Jingqi, quickly occupy a line of sky, build fortifications, and give a head-on blow to the Mowu army who came to occupy it."

    　　 Xuanwu hurriedly said: "I'm going now, but the Marshal"

    　　Hao Bo said: "Marshal, let me tell you. Junior brother, the army with 400,000 troops, please!" He bowed deeply to Xuanwu.

    　　 Xuanwu said categorically: "Brother, don't worry! If you can't finish the task, Xuanwu will come to see you." He turned and hurried away.

    　　******

    　　On October 19th, 925th year of the Holy Yuan Calendar, the Shenwu Legion launched an attack on Fengcheng, the base of the Mowu Kingdom.  Facing the extremely strong and burly soldiers of the Mowu Army that suddenly doubled in number on the top of the city, Prince Xia Qin, the marshal of the Shenwu Army, felt a little uneasy.

    　　The commander-in-chief Hao Bo stood by his side, never leaving him, and the critical moment was about to come. He didn't want the prince, who was in poor health, to be unafraid.  After listening to his analysis last night, the Prince immediately approved Xuanwu's action plan, but he did not follow his suggestion to retreat immediately.  Haobo also understood the embarrassment in his heart. Seeing that the situation is very good, as long as the Difeng City is captured, history will be created and the situation of the Shengyuan Empire being invaded will be changed. Now if there is no battle, it is impossible to justify retreating.  What's more, my own analysis has no real evidence at all, it's just speculation, and it's not accurate.

    　　The prince came to fight this battle with great hope and hope that his speculation was wrong.

    　　In the early morning, the commander of Shicao used a carrier pigeon to send a terrible news: now in Tianjing, the capital of the Shengyuan Empire, there are rumors all over the sky that the prince is connected with the Mowu army, and wants to establish himself as the "king of Tianque", leading the Shenwu army to break away from Shengyuan  empire.  His Majesty the Emperor was furious and ordered the Chief Quartermaster of the Shenwu Army to cut off the supply of grain, grass and military supplies to the Shenwu Army.  At the same time, Prince Yanzhi returned to Beijing immediately to clarify the matter.

    　　 Haobo nodded upon hearing the news: No wonder the military rations have not arrived three days after the due date, and now it seems that they cannot arrive.  Fortunately, the army is about to retreat, and the lack of rations will not harm the overall situation, otherwise it will be troublesome.

    　　The prince gave a cold "hum", and without composure, tore up the secret decree, as if planning to attack Difeng City.

    　　Godbsp;　　Linglan at the side was furious, she would never allow the insults others put on her sweetheart, she transformed into a horse as white as snow,  Immediately, a single horn with a light golden spiral pattern that was more than a foot long grew out of the horse's forehead, scales appeared faintly from the horse's abdomen, and the four hooves also turned into four-toed dragon claws.  A high-level beast "Holy Unicorn".

    　　Haobo was overjoyed, wearing a rotten silver armor, a nephrite cloak, holding a silver dragon spear upside down, stepped onto the sacred unicorn, and rushed down the line of defense.

    　　Soldiers of Shengyuan in the defensive line shouted loudly when they saw the heroic appearance of the general, and their morale was greatly raised.

    　　I didn't want Haobo to come up with a noble "sacred unicorn" to ride, and Jingjing was very surprised, and his complacency was wiped out.  The demon leopard, which was originally shaking its gold and silver heads with a very arrogant and ferocious expression, saw the "unicorn", like a grass chicken seeing a phoenix, and its servile appearance made its owner feel suffocated.

    　　The "sacred unicorn" is an extremely noble beast. It has always lived in the Changchun forest next to the Guangming God's Domain. The human world has never seen them.  They are the descendants of the special mounts of the creation gods, and their status is transcendent and noble. Even the current king of light cannot tame them.  The difference in status between the holy unicorns and the monsters in the forest of monsters is like the difference between the gods and the humble humans.

    　　After the mount contest, the defeated Jian Jing said bitterly: "I haven't seen you for a few months, Brother Hao is as handsome as ever."

    　　On the contrary, Haobo, who was in a good mood, laughed and said: "Brother Xie seems to be much more haggard. Also, after you served as the general marshal of the Mowu army, 600,000 Mowu troops died in battle, making Mowu  The country has changed from an aggressor to an invaded, such a huge change, how can the brother who bears the main responsibility not feel extremely guilty and remorseful? My little brother deeply sympathizes with this, but there is nothing he can do about it.”

    　　Jing Jing sneered and said: "Brother Hao, there is no need to be sarcastic. With Brother Hao's talent, could it be that he can't see through my younger brother's plan to lure the enemy into depth?"

    　　 Haobo pretended to be surprised and said: "'Lure the enemy to go deep'? Your Mowu Kingdom's 600,000 invading army was almost wiped out, but was defeated by my wise and mighty Marshal Xia Qin.  Under the dungeon city of Wu Kingdom, such a huge and disastrous defeat is actually "luting the enemy to go deep"? Hehe, I'm sorry, I have never heard of it in ancient times!"

    　　Jing Furan said: "Brother Hao is so self-deceiving and doesn't respect the facts, it makes me look down upon you."

    　　"I don't respect the facts?" Haobo looked incredible, and then suddenly said: "Oh, I understand. That's right, Brother Xi must describe the fiasco as luring the enemy to go deep, otherwise, how can you tell the Mowu Continent  The people and the army of the country should give an account? Such deceitful and untruthful words will undoubtedly allow brother Xi to avoid this disaster, and will not be opposed by the people and the army. Brother Xi, I admire my brother's talent."

    　　Jingjing was quite annoyed and said: "Brother Hao, what nonsense are you talking about? Does such a verbal dispute make any sense? Does it help?"

    　　Hao Bo nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Xi is going to make such a sophistry, you must first believe it, otherwise, how can you convince your colleagues in the army and the subjects in the country?" Then he lowered his voice and made an intimate gesture.  The statement said: "However, it is too shameless for you to deceive the people and subordinates like this."
