Douluo: Strange Fire Martial Spirit, starting with a hundred thousand year soul ring.

Ge Hang calmly dismounted his horse and responded with a smile: "General Xiao, we are not here to attack the city. On the contrary, we are here to surrender."

surrender?

Even Feng Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

This Ge Hang is a fanatical war fighter from the Star Luo Empire. Will he defect to the Tiandou Empire? This is obviously impossible.

Feng Xiaotian immediately thought of a possibility. Ge Hang had the strength of the Soul Saint. He would probably capture Xiao Se after entering Huangshi City under the pretext of surrender. By then, the Xingluo Empire's army would be able to capture him without any effort. Yellowstone City can be taken.

For some reason, Xiao Se believed Ge Hang's surrender without even asking, and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened and welcomed them into the city.

"Are all the current city-defending generals so brainless?" Feng Xiaotian couldn't help complaining in his heart, but he still followed Ge Hang into the city with a smile on his face.

Xiao Se walked down the city wall and immediately took them to the command post.

"Brother Ge, you are finally here." There were no outsiders around, and Xiao Se's attitude became extremely flattering, as if he was the one who surrendered.

No, he has rebelled.

Feng Xiaotian's heart tightened. All the generals who defended Yellowstone City had rebelled. Wouldn't it be easy for the Star Luo Empire to capture this military fortress?

"Brother Xiao, you have worked hard in the Tiandou Empire these years. I wonder how many soldiers and horses are in the city now?" Ge Hang asked with a smile.

Xiao Se sighed, "Originally, the Tiandou Empire stationed 30,000 soldiers and horses here, but for some reason, 27,000 of them were transferred last month, leaving only 3,000 soldiers guarding the city!"

"Three thousand!" Ge Hang stood up suddenly.

Suddenly, he laughed and said: "It seems that Xue Qinghe has given up on Huangshi City on his own initiative. Brother Xiao, are you exposed?"

Xiao Se explained helplessly: "The empire has transferred all those troops to the Kingdom of Barak. Furthermore, if I were exposed, I would have been captured by those nobles, so how could I stay here."

This Xiao Se had accepted Ge Hang's benefits many years ago and had already surrendered to the Star Luo Empire.

Feng Xiaotian understood that this decision was most likely suggested by his teacher. After all, the military strength of the Star Luo Empire far exceeds that of the Tiandou Empire. Fighting with them from the beginning of the war will only be a waste of vitality.

But in Ge Hang's eyes, he didn't think so. "It seems that Xue Qinghe thought that we would start the war from the Balak Kingdom. But it's okay, there are probably not many guards in the nearby cities."

"Brother Xiao, have your people been arranged? My troops will enter the city later, but they cannot be attacked by you."

Xiao Se smiled evilly, and the next moment, there were sounds of fighting on the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, the city gate that was supposed to be closed was pushed open.

Ge Hang was very satisfied with Xiao Se's approach, and immediately fired a signal flare, and his five thousand troops entered the city after hearing the news.

"Brother Xiao, you will be one of my lieutenants from now on. If you work hard, you will have the chance to become a general in the future." Ge Hang said with a satisfied look.

Xiao Se smiled flatteringly and said, "Brother Ge, don't worry, I will definitely go through fire and water for you, no matter what."

Feng Xiaotian disagreed with these words. This Xiao Se is completely spineless, and you still expect him to get into battle and kill the enemy? It would be great if he didn't run away from the battle.

Soon after, Ge Hang's troops captured Huangshi City without bloodshed.

As for the original defenders, all those who were unwilling to surrender were killed by them. Those who are willing to surrender will serve as advance cannon fodder in the next battle!

……

The news of the fall of Huangshi City and the news of the Star Luo Empire's declaration of war against the Tiandou Empire swept across the continent at the same time.

The reason given by the Star Luo Empire was very simple. The strong men of the Tian Dou Empire massacred Nanyun City of the Star Luo Empire. Not only did Tian Dou Emperor Xue Qinghe not actively cooperate with the matter, but he openly complained to the Star Luo Empire.

As the emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai should seek justice for the tens of thousands of innocent people in Nanyun City.

This reason seemed absurd, but the statement he made earlier made the civilians of the Star Luo Empire think that the massacre was the work of the Tiandou Empire. Now, Dai Mubai took advantage of the situation to declare war. In their eyes, it was just a matter of reputation.

In the Tiandou Empire's court, because the war had begun, Xue Qinghe invited Han Yu over according to the request of Wuhun Palace to act as the empire's spokesperson.

"Absurd, simply ridiculous!" Many ministers of the Tiandou Empire were furious.

"My dear friends, please don't mess up your position. We should come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible!" Xue Qinghe said to calm everyone.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead one hundred thousand troops to fight to the death with the Star Luo Empire." Marshal Ge Long stood up and said.

He was the most senior general in the Tiandou Empire. Although he knew that Xue Qinghe's throne had an illegitimate origin, he never criticized him or betrayed him.

He only wanted to serve the Tiandou Empire, and many of Xue Qinghe's policies after taking office were in favor of the common people, which was completely in line with his interests.

Xue Qinghe smiled lightly, "Marshal Ge Long, I have no objection to you leading an attack, but the Star Luo Empire has a total of 200,000 troops, and you only have 100,000 troops. Can you defeat them?"

After all, Ge Long was in Tiandou City, and he had limited knowledge of the news on the border.

Moreover, the Xingluo Empire's armies were all equipped with Tang San's hidden weapons, and many soul masters were mixed into the ranks. The Tiandou Empire's 100,000-strong army would be good if it could destroy the opponent's 10,000-strong army.

There is even a risk of Gelong being killed in battle.

For the Tiandou Empire, Ge Long was the backbone of the empire's soldiers. If he died on the battlefield, the Tiandou Empire's military morale would collapse.

According to the news from Feng Xiaotian, the general of the Xingluo Empire commanding the 200,000-strong army was the second elder of the Haotian Sect. In terms of tactical literacy, he may not be as good as Ge Long, but if it is a one-on-one fight, how can Ge Long, who only has the strength of Contra, be his opponent?

"Your Majesty, are you serious about this?" Ge Long looked strange.

He didn't even know the enemy's strength. How could Xue Qinghe, who was in the palace, know?

Of course, he would not speculate on Xue Qinghe's thoughts, and would only assume that it was provided by Han Yu.

"Today, I summon all my dear friends to come here. Firstly, it is for the upcoming war; secondly, I want to announce that from today on, Dean Han will be the imperial advisor. From now on, all arrangements for the war will be made. All will be planned by the National Master."

"What!" The ministers were surprised.

Han Yu didn't want to be a national advisor, but if he didn't have an official position in the empire, it would be impossible to mobilize the army.

The position of national master is second only to the emperor. It is an existence below one person and above tens of thousands of people.

Of course Ge Long was not convinced. He knew that Han Yu's personal strength was very strong, even much stronger than him, but personal courage did not mean that he would lead troops to fight.

Moreover, the position of National Preceptor will not leave Tiandou City under normal circumstances. In this way, can he command the soldiers on the front line well? If there is a mistake in command, the soldiers of the Tiandou Empire will bleed.

"Your Majesty, please take back your order. I am willing to defend the empire from the invasion of the Star Luo Empire. If I cannot resist the invasion of the Star Luo Empire, I am willing to die to apologize!"

Ge Long issued a military order, making it clear that he was determined not to let Han Yu command the war.
