Bright Sword: We Li Yunlong are fighting elites

Chapter 250 Strangling the devil's lifeline!
Outside Xiangyuan City, Li Yunlong held up his binoculars and observed the situation in the distance.

At this moment, the gate of Xiangyuan city is closed tightly, and the whole city is under martial law.

Li Yunlong put down his binoculars and said with a sneer: "It seems that these little devils are really scared by us. They dare not go out of the city to fight in broad daylight, and they all hide in the city obediently."

Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "Recently, these little devils have indeed kept a low profile a lot."

"Not only the little devils here in Luzhou, but also the little devils in other regions."

"I think it's because after the last lesson, the little devil is also afraid, and the little devil's troops in various places are also much weaker, so naturally he dare not act rashly."

Li Yunlong said with some disappointment: "They dare not move, then we have no chance at all."

Xing Zhiguo said: "If you want to fight devils, it's better to lure them out to fight them."

"The enemy is huddled in the city. If we attack by force, even if we win, the loss will not be small. In that case, the loss outweighs the gain."

Li Yunlong said: "We came here today to test the little devils. I didn't expect them to be so timid, and they didn't even have the courage to resist."

"But after understanding this situation, we will be able to start our work."

Xing Zhiguo quickly reminded: "Although the little devil is too scared to leave the city, it is only temporary, and it is also because we have brought the main force!"

"So don't think that the little devil is really afraid of us. It's better to be more careful, especially in the future work, so that you can't suffer unnecessary losses because of your carelessness."

Li Yunlong agreed wholeheartedly: "You can rest assured about this."

"You are responsible for the general work in the local area, you just need to be more careful."

"I'm only in charge of the main force fighting the devils. What I'm thinking about now is how to lure these bastards out of the city."

"If it really doesn't work, then we can only deal with them piecemeal, bit by bit."

Xing Zhiguo said thoughtfully, "Do you have any specific thoughts?"

"Hehe~!"

Li Yunlong chuckled, and said: "Actually, this matter is easy to handle. As long as the devil's lifeline is pinched, the little devil has to obey us obediently."

"We let him come out, and they have to come out obediently."

"lifeline?"

Xing Zhiguo frowned slightly, and then said, "You mean the Tailu Highway?"

"You want to completely cut off the Tailu Highway?"

Li Yunlong said with a serious face: "Only in this way, the little devils will feel threatened, and they will obediently send troops to clear the road."

"This is our chance!"

Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "Did you say before that the troops have not fully recovered their strength and will not carry out major military operations for the time being?"

Li Yunlong nodded, and said: "I did say that, but now the troops are constantly training, and their combat effectiveness is gradually improving."

"We can also start military operations step by step, and make small troubles first, so that the recruits can get acquainted with the battlefield situation."

Xing Zhiguo said worriedly: "But if you directly cut off the Tailu Highway, I guess Ji Zeming will definitely send a large force to protect the safety of the highway line. I'm afraid it will be a small trouble by then!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "As for that coward Ji Zeming, judging from his current performance, it is not certain whether he will dare to send the main force to attack."

"If he really sends out the main force to attack, then at worst we can temporarily avoid the edge, not necessarily as soon as he comes up, let's go head-to-head with these little devils!"

Xing Zhiguo nodded slightly, and said: "That's right, everything has to be done step by step, and there is no harm in making arrangements in advance."

"You are the head of the regiment, and everything is under your command."

Li Yunlong smiled slightly, and said: "The little devil dare not go out of the city, so it's meaningless for us to stay here any longer."

"Immediately withdraw to Xiantang Mountain, and then start to lay out a comprehensive blockade of the Tailu Highway."

"Yes!"

Following Li Yunlong's order, the main force of the new regiment immediately withdrew from Xiangyuan City to Xiantang Mountain.

After the little devil in Xiangyuan received the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then truthfully reported the news to Ji Zeming.

Ji Zeming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Li Yunlong's troops had withdrawn from Xiangyuan.

Ji Zeming said thoughtfully: "From this point of view, Li Yunlong doesn't have the guts to attack our heavily guarded county."

A ghost officer next to him said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, I think we can't be careless. After all, Li Yunlong is a cunning guy, and the imperial army still has to guard against it."

Ji Zeming nodded slightly, and said, "Yes, we must not be careless about Li Yunlong."

"The garrisons in various places still have to be on strict alert. Although they dare not attack Xiangyuan, it does not mean that they dare not attack other places, such as other strongholds in other places, or even other county towns."

"Li Yunlong and the others have been here for a while, and they must have understood the situation of our garrisons in various places. There are many garrisons in Xiangyuan, so they dare not do anything."

"Some counties with weaker troops may become their attack targets and have to be defended."

"Hay!"

The devil officer responded respectfully: "Your Excellency, the brigade commander, is very true, so in the short term we still have to strictly guard against any accidents."

At this time, another devil officer said: "But the several strongholds on the Tailu Highway have all been destroyed, should we continue to build?"

"If you continue to build these strongholds, you may still be attacked by them."

Ji Zeming couldn't help but frowned, this is indeed a difficult problem.

The Tailu Highway is too important to them. If these strongholds are not built, it will be difficult to guarantee the absolute safety of this highway.

But the stronghold was completely destroyed, and building a stronghold was not something that could be completed in a day or two.

If, like this time, it was destroyed by them just after it was half built, it would not only be a waste of work, but also a certain amount of manpower and material resources would be lost.

Ji Zeming asked: "What do you think should be done?"

At this moment, Akira Yoshizawa was also a little hesitant, not knowing what to do.

A devil officer thought for a while and said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, I think that in order to ensure safety, we can concentrate the main force, closely protect the built strongholds, and rebuild strongholds one by one."

"When these strongholds are all repaired, the safety of the Tailu Highway can be guaranteed."

"If several strongholds are built together like before, they will definitely be attacked by the enemy, and they will be destroyed one by one."

Akira Yoshizawa nodded slightly, and said, "It's a good idea to keep going every step of the way."

"Then how many troops do we need to send to ensure that the imperial army can safely build these strongholds?"

"After all, Li Yunlong's strength is still very strong. If there are too few troops, I'm afraid it won't be able to resist Li Yunlong's attack at all."

At this time, a devil officer said: "Two brigades can be mobilized for protection, recruit enough migrant workers, prepare enough materials at one time, and strive to establish the stronghold in the shortest possible time."

"The imperial army of the two brigades will seize the favorable terrain, protect the safe construction of the stronghold, and then mobilize some imperial alliance troops to assist, so that nothing will go wrong."

Ji Zeming said with some uncertainty: "Can the two brigades really withstand the attack of Li Yunlong's department?"

The devil officer replied: "We focus on defense, relying on the terrain advantage, the two brigades plus some assistance from the Imperial Association Army, there should be no problem."

Ji Zeming thought about it, if he mobilized more troops, it might not be realistic.

After all, other places also need to be defended. If too many troops are mobilized to build strongholds, the defenses in other places will inevitably be empty, which will definitely give Li Yunlong an opportunity.

Ji Zeming knew how powerful Li Yunlong was, so he didn't dare to take the risk.

Therefore, the little devils in the two brigades should already be the limit.

Ji Zeming thought for a while, and then said: "Then mobilize two brigades of the Imperial Army, and another two regiments of the Imperial Association Army to assist in the battle."

At this time, a ghost officer said: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the combat effectiveness of these Imperial Association troops is low, and I'm afraid they can't help much at all."

Ji Zeming said: "These guys are also useful. We build strongholds, and the imperial army builds fortifications in the dangerous terrain around the strongholds."

"Let the Royal Association Army troops be stationed on the outskirts, and most of the enemy troops will carry out sneak attacks at night."

"Although these imperial association troops are useless, they can also warn the imperial army in advance, so that the imperial army can prepare in advance."

Akira Yoshizawa's move is undoubtedly to use these puppet troops directly as cannon fodder. In fact, the little devil raises these puppet troops just to use them as cannon fodder for the critical moment.

Several devil officers present, you look at me, I look at you, they have no objection to this.

"Your Excellency, brigade commander, is wise."

Akira Yoshizawa saw that everyone had no objection, and then said: "If that's the case, then it's settled."

"Let's start preparing now!"

"Be sure to hurry up and try to establish these strongholds for me in the shortest possible time."

"If the safety of the Tailu Highway cannot be guaranteed, our safety cannot be guaranteed either."

"This is our lifeline, and it must be firmly in our hands."

"Hay~!"

Several devil officers present respectfully responded, then turned and left.

Akira Yoshizawa has already made a decision, so they just need to perform their duties and do their jobs as soon as possible.

Ji Zeming glanced at the map, couldn't help but sighed deeply, and said, "Li Yunlong, this fellow, happened to come to Luzhou. I'm really unlucky for eight lifetimes."
