"Good idea, General Cook.

In that case, early tomorrow morning, you will be responsible for going out of the city to block the enemy, and I will be responsible for guarding the enemy in the city and the southern city. ”

After listening to Cook's proposal, Bai Yutang's eyes suddenly lit up, because in the current situation, Cook's method is indeed very feasible.

If 100,000 cavalry is only used to defend the city, it is indeed a bit overkill, and it is indeed a bit passive to do so, since the enemy has no cavalry, then there is no risk for them to take the initiative to attack, because the enemy will not be able to keep them at all.

Considering that Cook was better at leading elven archers in harassment warfare, Bai Yutang offered to stay in the city.

Then, after discussing some specific details, the two began to arrange the work of defense.

......

Liu Fei is a player lord of the Angel Guild, and his realm officially entered the Age of Empires when he was five years of barbarism.

After the opening of the Great Earth Era, Liu Fei realized that Shanhaiguan and the Great Wall must exist at the first glance of the large map, because he had always suspected that there was a civilization here before the player entered the game.

As a player lord, Liu Fei certainly knew what Shanhaiguan meant, so he immediately sent a 20,000-strong army of light infantry to capture the city.

Considering that other nearby player lords might also have the same idea, Liu Fei immediately began to gather his army, and after finding out the specific location of Shanhaiguan, he sent his right-hand man, Ji Wushuang, out to support the vanguard legion.

Because the vanguard army encountered several groups of enemies along the way, although Liu Fei quickly gathered an army of 100,000 people, he never dared to leave the territory. He feared that his territory would be attacked, and he was waiting for specific news from the front.

When it was reported from the front that his army was fighting for the city gate with the enemy, Liu Fei was so worried that his heart was about to rise to his throat, and he wanted to rush over immediately to support, but in the end he endured it, because he knew that Ji Wushuang's army would soon arrive there.

When Liu Fei learned that the enemy had been defeated and Ji Wushuang had successfully seized control of the southwest of Shanhaiguan, he jumped up directly in excitement.

At this time, he knew that he could not wait any longer, so he immediately ordered the army to set off and escort the grain and grass to Shanhaiguan.

Taking the city is only the first step, and how to defend it is the most important thing. For defending the city, what is ultimately needed is to have sufficient grain and grass and various strategic materials.

In order to settle it once and for all, Liu Fei directly recruited 300,000 people this time, and the grain and grass transported were enough for 200,000 troops to hold on for a year.

Because of the need to protect the grain and grass and the people, the army marched very slowly, and in the evening, Liu Fei had to choose the same place to camp.

And at this moment, the news that Ji Wushuang sent for help finally came.

Hearing that Shanhaiguan had changed hands again and Ji Wushuang's army was trapped in the city, Liu Fei felt that Venus was rising in front of him, and he almost fainted.

It was too much of a blow for him, as he knew very well how terrible it was for a Player Lord to be able to send out 100,000 cavalry.

If Shanhaiguan is still in Ji Wushuang's hands, then let alone 100,000 cavalry, even if it is 1 million cavalry, he is not afraid.

But when Ji Wushuang lost control of the two gates, the situation was completely different.

Because it is difficult to break through the city guarded by 100,000 cavalry with only the 100,000 troops under his command, and even if the enemy takes the initiative to attack, his 100,000 troops may not be enough to stuff people's teeth.

"Come on, let people make a fire and cook at once, and after dinner, immediately pull out the camp and turn around and return to the territory."

Although he was very reluctant to be a capable cadre like Ji Wushuang and the 70,000 soldiers in Shanhaiguan, Liu Fei still decisively chose to withdraw his troops.

Because he knew that if he couldn't break his wrist as a strong man, then he would likely fall into an even more unfavorable situation next, so he could only reluctantly give up Ji Wushuang and his army.

As a lord and an emperor, Liu Fei knew when to give up.

It sounds easy to give up, but there are very few people who can actually do it, because there are always things that people can't give up, so the people who have been able to do it throughout the ages are basically hard-hearted people.

Although Liu Fei is not a hard-hearted person, he is a very rational person, and his reason is one of the biggest contributors to his development to this day.

The next day, when Cook led 40,000 cavalry out of the city to block the enemy, he searched for most of the day, but failed to find the enemy's so-called reinforcements, and finally had to return to Shanhaiguan in a huff.

On the third day, in the evening, Ning Yuan, who received the news, led a thousand cavalry to Shanhaiguan.

Seeing this majestic fortress, Ning Yuan let out a long breath, because he knew that from now on, he would never have to worry about being attacked on his back.

As long as there are 100,000 defenders in the city, then the enemy will not want to break through the city, but in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he is ready to station 200,000 troops here.

After observing the layout of Shanhaiguan, Ning Yuan immediately met with Harrell and Bai Yutang and other meritorious officials.

The Condor Leader was able to capture the Shanhai Pass, and the vanguard army led by Harrell and Tianyi was indispensable, if they didn't defend the city gate, I am afraid that when Bai Yutang and the others arrived, they could only look at the pass and sigh.

After listening to Harrell's introduction of the tragic defensive battle, Ning Yuan was deeply moved.

He didn't expect that his soldiers would be so loyal to him, in order to complete the task he gave them, they didn't take a step back when they knew that they would die, it seems that their previous efforts were not in vain, and he must be better to them in the future.

In that battle around the city gate, 721 of the 1,000 angel warriors were finally killed, and the remaining 200 people, except for Harrell and a few powerful angel warriors, the other angel warriors have been resurrected once.

In other words, the remaining more than 200 angel warriors can basically retire.

Compared with the angel warriors, the swan man warriors led by Tianyi are even more miserable.

Only thirty-seven of the 1,000 swanman warriors survived in the end, and the brigade commander Tianyi was also martyred directly.

Although it was always the Angel Warriors who were at the forefront throughout the battle, they withstood most of the enemy's firepower.

But after all, the Angel Warriors are wearing armor made of Mithril, and their strength is far stronger than that of the Swan Warriors.

Therefore, when the swan people who led the five scum of war launched a charge, they immediately suffered heavy casualties when they faced the enemy for the first time, and more than half of the 1,000 swan warriors were directly killed in just one charge.
