Chapter 457: Confrontation with King Kilikree
For a moment, Dai Huangjun never thought that it was the public who tipped off the news.
Because since he joined the army, the impression of the people in his mind has always been that of cowardice and insensitivity. When encountering a war, the people will only run away or hide.
And the main reason is that the place where they are now is far away from the Kingdom of Cyril Cres, and it would take at least three or four days for ordinary people to reach it on foot.
He really could not have imagined that it would be those cowardly and insensitive people who secretly went to King Cyrils City to spread the news.
But indeed, if it were the people of the past, they would indeed be like this.
But after Su Mo's actions, people in the areas where land reform was carried out discovered that the war was closely related to their own interests and life and death.
And because many civilians were assigned some property from the nobles who died on trial, some who made meritorious services were even assigned horses.
For the sake of their own interests and future, the civilians found out that Lord Dai Huang had led the army to fight back. Naturally, they immediately found the civilians with horses and asked them to rush to the Kingdom of Kilikris overnight to report the news.
That's why the army led by Dai Huangjun was ambushed.
Afterwards, after Dai Huangjun repaired himself, he led the army to set off again, preparing to rush to King Kilikres City to join the coalition forces coming from Fanos Province, and attack the Tiandou Empire army from both sides.
This time, Dai Huangjun asked the flying soul master scouts to go far away to conduct a large-scale reconnaissance in the surrounding area to avoid being ambushed.
But along the way, at some mountain passes with woods on both sides, there were still soul master teams and small troops ambushing at the mountain passes on both sides, causing considerable casualties to the army every time.
This made Dai Huangjun very angry and confused.
He had sent flying spirit master scouts to pay such attention. How on earth did the Tiandou Empire know their whereabouts so well and be able to ambush them every time?
Finally, Dai Huangjun discovered that every time they ambush, they encountered working civilians not long ago. After asking people to pay attention to the civilians, they caught a civilian who signed up.
Now, the truth is revealed!
It turned out that the civilians they met along the way were tipping off the Tiandou Empire’s army!
This made Dai Huangjun extremely angry.
They are the regular army representing the Kingdom of Cyric Cres. What on earth is going on with these civilians of the Kingdom of Cyric Cres, that they actually help the invaders!
But in his heart, Dai Huangjun also knew that this was because the Tiandou Empire's army designed and led the people to kill the local noble lords and distributed the property to the people.
The people had benefited, so they naturally had a favorable impression of the Tiandou Empire's army.
But what Dai Huangjun didn't expect was that these people would actually go to this step and risk their lives to inform the Tiandou Empire's army!
And after catching a civilian who tipped off the information and interrogating him, Dai Huangjun finally knew the complete process of Su Mo subduing the people, and his expression was extremely ugly.
He finally realized that the Tiandou Empire's army must be driven out of the Kingdom of Kilikris as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the Tiandou Empire's army applies this set of operations to the entire Kingdom of Kilikris, it will never be possible to win back the Kingdom of Kilikris!
In order to cope with the people's notification registration, during the march, Dai Huangjun also asked the army to sweep the surrounding villages and arrest all the villagers to prevent the villagers from reporting the news.
But after such an operation, the news spread.
After hearing the news, a large number of people thought that Dai Huangjun and others were here to avenge the killed noble lords, so they packed up their belongings and fled to King Kilikris City to seek help from the Tiandou Empire army. of protection.
"Your Majesty the Holy Son, since they are coming to us and want to fight with us, why should we passively fight them and not actively assemble the army to guard the road they must pass, waiting for work and attacking when they are unprepared? They are going to fight!" Some generals couldn't help but ask when they discovered that Su Mo only informed the public and sent a small number of soul master legions and troops to ambush Dai Huangjun's army, but was unwilling to engage in a direct battle and ambush, and then kill the enemy with one blow.
Regarding this, Su Mo also smiled and said: "General, don't worry, Dai Huangjun is a general as famous as Marshal Ge Long. He must also want what we want."
"According to the information we know now, before every army march, they will send out a large number of flying soul master scouts to scout around. It is basically impossible for us to ambush them with a large army."
"With so many of their scouts, they will definitely find us in advance, and then he will definitely retreat or avoid us."
"I reasoned that there was a reason why they responded the way they did."
"Because we have received news from the people in the west that there is a wave of troops from the border of the Kingdom of Pelagi, across the border of the Kingdom of Cyric Cres, entering the Kingdom of Cyric Cres, and are attacking us. Come on the side."
"I think that if we take the initiative to fight with the army led by Dai Huangjun, he will definitely retreat without fighting. He will wait until this army from behind advances to our rear, and then he will join this army to fight with us. .”
"But he was defeated by us before. This time he dares to take the initiative. He definitely has a trump card. Coupled with the support from the rear and the coalition forces attacking us from the front and back, we will be attacked from the front and back in the wild. The outcome will definitely not be good."
"what!"
Hearing this, the general was immediately shocked: "They also have a large army coming from the Kingdom of Pelagi to support them. Is it an army sent by the Kingdom of Pelagi or from the Province of Fanos?"
"This is still unknown, but no matter what, their plan is for two armies to attack us from the front and back. In my opinion, our response method will definitely not satisfy their intention of fighting in the wild."
"I feel that the best way is for us to wait for their arrival in King Cyrils City."
"We have wiped out so many nobles before and brought back so much food and put it in the King's City of Kilikris. In addition, there is already a large amount of food in the granary of this King's city. They want to consume it with us outside. , it can’t consume us!”
Su Mo smiled playfully and said.
After that, a large number of people continued to flee to King Kilikres City from all directions where land reform was carried out. When they learned from the people that Lord Dai Huang was actually raiding every village in the land reform area, Su Mo also laughed.
If you do this, people's hearts will only become more favorable to us!
The people fled to us with their little food, and the houses of nobles everywhere were also ransacked by us.
If you want to find food around the Kingdom of Kilikris, you won't be able to find it. You can only rely on the Star Luo Empire and the surrounding kingdoms and principalities to transport food.
But when you confront us under the city of King Kilikres, if we just send soul masters to attack your food, won't you be defeated in an instant?
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Due to the large-scale raids carried out by Dai Huangjun's troops, the people fled to King Cyril Crestus' city.
Because all the people had fled, Su Mo did not receive any more tips. He was waiting in the King's City of Kilikris for the arrival of the army led by Dai Huangjun and the Star Luo Empire army supported by the Kingdom of Pelagi.
Finally, the army led by Dai Huangjun and the coalition forces supported from Fanos Province arrived at King Kilikres City one after another, and the two sides faced off inside and outside King Kilikres City. (End of chapter)
