Chapter 399 Keeping and Withdrawing the Division of the Western Army
The Western Region is located in the west of Shazhou and a vast inland north of Eternity. The climate here is dry and deserts are widespread.If it were not for the confluence of many rivers flowing down from the plateau, there would be no environment for survival, and there would not be a large number of large and small states.

This is a war-torn land, where states fight and annex each other, and wars, large and small, never stop.Because of the lack of unification, the states were weak and unable to form a joint force, so that they were repeatedly invaded and ruled by foreigners for thousands of years.After the collapse of foreign rule, the land fell into division and war again.

100 years ago, the Western Golden Wolf came to this land and quickly conquered the vast land of the Western Regions.However, they did not annex these countries directly, but preserved these countries and let them develop freely.However, the price these countries have to pay is that they have to hand over a large amount of wealth and slaves to the Xijin werewolves every year.That is to say, the werewolf of Xijin is actually raising the countries of the Western Regions as pigs, and they can slaughter them once when they are fattened up.You don't need to bother to govern the place, and you can get countless wealth and slaves.

This kind of rule lasted for 100 years. Although the countries in the Western Regions were dissatisfied, they dared not disobey.The occasional rebellions during the period were all easily put down by the Xijin werewolves. Thousands of people were killed, and countless people were reduced to slaves. Life would be worse than death.The royal family that has gone through hundreds of years is like a dog, tied under the horse and dragged by the Xijin werewolf, letting thousands of horseshoes trample into meat.Under the brutal rule of the Western Gold werewolves, all the countries in the Western Regions were terrified, and they no longer dared to resist easily, and had to suffer silently under their exploitation.

Now, the 20 army of the Western Gold Werewolves went south, and the first stop was to enter the territories of the countries in the Western Regions, sweeping away the remaining food and supplies of the countries, and forcing the countries to recruit soldiers to go out with the army, and took away [-] of them at once. public.This caused mourning in all the countries. You must know that not long ago, the Eternal Army entered the Western Regions, and wherever it went, it was reduced to ruins.This move has severely damaged the strength of the countries in the Western Regions, and both wealth and population have suffered serious losses.But now, regardless of the dire plight and pleas of the nations, the Xijin werewolf forcibly demanded supplies and soldiers. Anyone who dared to resist was killed by him until their heads rolled and their blood flowed like rivers.In the end, the countries were shocked, and a large amount of supplies were successfully recruited.

Facing an army of 20, the countries in the Western Regions had no courage or strength to resist at all. They had no choice but to plunder everything in the country, and with tears in their eyes, they contributed their last property.

The Western Golden Wolf army lingered in the Western Regions for a month, and after collecting all the supplies, it slowly killed the eastern part of the Western Regions, leaving behind the countries in the Western Regions that were full of mourners.

The arrival of 30 Xijin werewolves immediately made the Dingxi Army's complexion look ugly.Now they have less than 30 soldiers and horses, how can they stop the [-] troops?

Everyone in the Murong family couldn't help but regret agreeing to Lin Yifan's conditions. Even if they strive to develop in a small area of ​​Shazhou, it is much better than in this dangerous place.However, it is useless to regret at this time. The most important thing now is to decide whether to stay in Baiyan City and wait for help, or to retreat to Tianmen Pass as soon as possible to abandon this land that is about to fall into war.

In this regard, the party headed by Murong De believed that they should withdraw into the customs immediately, and this so-called Xizhou was gone.Only in this way, the Dingxi army will have no place to stand, and can only choose to rely on other forces to survive.

The party headed by Murongkang is determined to stay in Baiyan City and wait for help. They believe that the Hengshan Army will definitely come to help. As long as they can defend Baiyan City, the land of Xizhou will still belong to Murong's family, and the Dingxi Army will be able to exist independently.

The two sides have been arguing endlessly about this, but they have not been able to reach an agreement.In the end, Murong De insisted on leaving this place with his soldiers and horses. Since Murong Kang and others wanted to guard, they should stay here by themselves.Murong Kang naturally refused to let them leave with their soldiers and horses. If some of the already stretched troops were taken away, they would no longer have the strength to hold on.

As the general of the [-] Hengshan Army stationed here, Meng Tong took a completely neutral attitude towards this matter and never expressed his attitude.However, he asked his soldiers to build city defenses, build positions, and prepare armies. He has already shown with his actions that the Hengshan Army will stick to it.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Murong Kang approached Meng Tong worriedly, "General Meng, now that Murong De and others insist on retreating, what should we do? They still have tens of thousands of horses in their hands. If they retreat, our Baiyan City Defenses are going to be significantly weakened, which is not good news for us."

Meng Tong dismissed the military newspaper in his hand, looked up at Murong Kang, and said with a smile: "General Murong, since they are going to leave, let them go. What is needed to defend the city is the unity of all people, and it is the unity of all will. Our courage. Keeping them will only make our city more vulnerable, and the enemy can even take advantage of our internal problems to break the originally impenetrable fortress."

"But in this way, we only have more than 30 people, how can we withstand the attack of [-] troops?" Murong Kang was shocked, and said quickly, "I also know that it will be problematic to keep them, but at least we have more troops. We are more confident in defending the city."

"Haha, General Murong is relieved." Meng Tong shook his head and laughed loudly, "Although the enemy is numerous and powerful, it is not so easy to break into Baiyan City. This city is built with the unique white rocks of the Western Regions." It can be described as a solid and thick defensive fortress. Although we don't have many troops, the enemy wants to take this city, and it is not possible to do it in a short time. .Now under our construction, this city has complete equipment and weapons, and sufficient food and grass. Although there are only 3 to [-] people, the enemy will have to pay a huge price if they want to take this city."

"General Meng, tell me the truth." Murong Kang felt a little relieved, but his eyes still showed suspicion, "Can your army really come to help in a short time? The other side has 30 soldiers and horses. We really Can you beat them?"

"I can't guarantee this." Meng Tong straightened his face, "But as a soldier, it is my bounden duty to obey orders. Your Excellency appointed me as the chief general to station here. Unless we receive other orders, our army will stick to it." Here, even a single soldier will not give up in the battle."

"Well, why did this come to this?" Murong Kang's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help laughing, "You know what you can't do, but your army is really a powerful army in the world. If this is the case, I Dingxi Army is not a coward, and I would like to cooperate with you." Let the general guard the city together. As for those people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, let them go."

"Have you thought about it, General Murong? This battle is extremely dangerous, and I can't guarantee that I can persevere." There was a trace of appreciation in Meng Tong's eyes, and he just persuaded with a smile.

"Haha, your army can treat death like home, why can't I Dingxi Army? For this battle, our army will be under the command of General Meng, and I will entrust General Meng with my life." Murong Kang laughed loudly, with a firm expression on his face. Said.

The next day, after unsuccessful persuasion, the two parties finally broke down.Murongde's party led nearly 1 people to leave Baiyan City and head towards Tianmenguan.Murong Kang led nearly 2 people to stay here with the Hengshan Army, standing firm and waiting for help.

Looking at the Dingxi army going away, the corners of Meng Tong's mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer.Immediately, a homing pigeon fluttered into the sky, soaring away towards the east.
