Choose three out of ten at the beginning, summon ten gods to dominate the other world

In this world, it is not uncommon for soldiers to surrender, and the victorious side mostly appeases, gathers, and uses the surrendered soldiers for their own purposes, and rarely kills prisoners.

Unless it is a special situation, such as a national war or a battle against barbarians.

When Long Tian led his army to Mangshan, it was already late at night.

"Xiang Yu, arrange enough city guards to guard the prisoners and don't let them make trouble."

"Organize a defensive position immediately, the chaotic army is following us, and it is estimated that Xiao Chenghao is on the way."

Although there is no accurate intelligence, Long Tian knows that Xiao Chenghao will not give up the black iron ore, which is too important for an ambitious prince.

"Jia Xu, arrange people to explore the reserves of black iron ore, and be sure to take good protection to avoid any accidents."

Such a good thing, Long Tian also wants it, and now that he has it, he naturally can't let it go.

The whole Mangshan is lively again, but it is Long Tian's soldiers who are preparing fortifications.

At dawn the next day, Xiao Chenghao led a large army to appear not far from Mangshan.

"Your Majesty, Mangshan has been lost, and the 50,000 defenders have been wiped out. Mangshan has fallen into Long Tian's hands."

After traveling all night, Xiao Chenghao didn't expect to hear bad news.

"What happened to Lin Jun and the others? Can't they even stop Long Tian's march?"

If Lin Jun was in front of him at this time, Xiao Chenghao would definitely chop this rubbish.

"Your Highness, I have received a military report from General Lin Jun that Long Tian has sent out 400,000 troops and is moving separately."

"Long Tian led 200,000 troops to rush to Mangshan day and night, and the following 200,000 troops followed to contain Lin Jun and his men. Lin Jun and his men fought several battles with the 200,000 troops behind them, but failed to gain an advantage, so they could not catch up with Long Tian who was one step ahead."

"At this moment, Lin Jun and his men are still entangled with Long Tian's 200,000 troops. In another day, they will arrive in the Mangshan area at the same time."

Lin Jun is not unaware of the importance of Mangshan, and he is also very clear that once Mangshan is lost, his responsibility will not be small, but he really tried his best, unless he stayed and fought a decisive battle with the 200,000 troops regardless of everything.

But with Xiao Chenghao's order, he could not fight this battle, at least not before reaching Mangshan. Moreover, the most important thing at this moment is Mangshan, after all, Long Tian has already led people there.

"Your Highness, Mangshan has been occupied by Long Tian at this moment. We cannot move forward, otherwise we will have a hard time explaining ourselves."

Someone persuaded Xiao Chenghao.

If he arrived earlier, Xiao Chenghao would have countless excuses, but if he arrived later, he would have a conflict with Long Tian. I am afraid that Xiao Chenghao could no longer hide and would immediately launch a rebellion.

"Order Lin Jun to take Mangshan back at all costs."

"We are also prepared, depending on the situation."

Xiao Chenghao forced himself to calm down and not be impulsive. Once someone caught him, it would be even more troublesome.

So, the 200,000 Jingbian troops who came to Lucheng in a hurry had to set up camp and wait for the situation to change.

On the same day, Long Tian also received news from all parties.

"Your Highness, Prince Wen Xiao Chenghao has indeed arrived, with 200,000 troops. He is stationed less than 50 miles away from us. He is obviously observing the situation and looking for the right time to take action."

"This prince knows that we have arrived first and has to stop. However, Prince Wen will not be resigned to this and will definitely order the rebels to attack us. He may even intervene in the war at a critical moment. We must be on guard."

Long Tian was very fortunate that he took action immediately after receiving the news. Otherwise, Mangshan would be occupied by Prince Wen, and Long Tian would not be able to rob it head-on.

"Have Li Cunxiao and the others arrived?"

"Your Highness, they have arrived. At the same time, there are also 600,000 rebels from Zongzhou. They are now confronting each other at the foot of Mangshan and may start a war at any time."

This is all expected. Mangshan has brought everyone together. It is time to resolve the rebellion in Zongzhou.

"Your Highness, the latest intelligence is that the rebels at the foot of the mountain have begun to act. They have divided 200,000 troops to contain General Li Cunxiao, and the remaining 400,000 troops have all come to attack Mangshan."

Long Tian was still understanding the situation, and the army at the foot of the mountain began to act. This was impatient.

"Order Li Cunxiao and Bai Qi to play freely and wait for an opportunity to destroy the enemy."

"Xiang Yu, the defense of the mountain is handed over to you. You must hold it in this battle. At the same time, you must leave enough forces to guard the prisoners. If the war is urgent, I will give you the right to take advantage."

Long Tian's meaning is very clear. If the defense of the mountain is insufficient, there is no need to keep those prisoners.

Next, the two sides will fight to the death, and each will show their own skills.

Because Li Cunxiao led the city guards of Zongzhou, the combat effectiveness is not strong enough.The Zhenbei Army was strong, so the two armies fought evenly.

Although the team attacking Mangshan was not large in number, there were 50,000 Zhenbei Army in the army against them, and the overall strength of both sides was balanced, so it was difficult to determine the winner in a short time.

In this battle, Bai Qi's heavy cavalry did not move, but was on guard against Xiao Chenghao's sudden attack.

A day and a night passed, and both sides suffered heavy losses, but the situation did not change. The rebels wanted to take Mangshan, but they could not do it.

Xiao Chenghao naturally saw this result. In order to solve Mangshan as soon as possible, Xiao Chenghao ordered to mobilize 200,000 city guards and 100,000 Jingbian troops under his command, disguised as rebels, and headed towards Mangshan.

Long Tian did not know this information yet.

However, Long Tian also knew that Xiao Chenghao would not give up easily, and the same was true for himself. In this case, Mangshan became the focus of competition between the two sides, and it was not surprising that Xiao Chenghao sent troops again.

The first day of the battle ended.

"Your Highness, we lost 30,000 city guards and thousands of Zhenbei troops in this battle, and the enemy's losses are also more than 50,000."

"The situation at Li Cunxiao's place is similar, with each side losing about 50,000."

Mangshan is okay, with the Zhenbei Army, they can still have the upper hand in strength, but at Li Cunxiao's place, the gap in strength between the two sides is not that big. Even if Li Cunxiao is strong, he can't play a big role alone.

"Your Highness, the enemy is determined to take Mangshan. If we want to break the situation, I'm afraid we have to think of other ways. If we fight hard, once we lose too much, Xiao Chenghao will definitely not miss this opportunity."

Xiao Chenghao's failure to take action now does not mean that he will never take action. If the army in Long Tian's hands loses too much, this guy will definitely not miss the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Moreover, there is another difference between the two. Long Tian fights alone, but Xiao Chenghao has backup, which must be taken into account.

However, Long Tian also has his own confidence, which is the task of occupying Mangshan that he has just completed.
