Seeing the large banner with the character "信" (Xin) fluttering on the city wall, Prince Xin, Li Xin, knew that the Divine Might Camp had already established a firm foothold in Shuangcheng Prefecture.
Next, it will be time to expand our gains and recapture the entire Twin Cities.
"Liu Zheng, Wang Zhong!"
Li Xin whispered a command.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Captain Liu Zheng and Captain Wang Zhong quickly clasped their hands in response.
"I command you to attack the city from the left and right flanks respectively, to support the Divine Might Camp!"
Li Xin gave the order.
"Yes, sir!"
The two quickly agreed.
Immediately, Liu Zheng and Wang Zhong led the Shenwu Battalion and the Shenyong Battalion respectively to support Zhang Cheng's troops in the southern part of Shuangcheng Prefecture.
"Muyun Rock!"
Li Xin continued shouting.
"Your subordinate is here!"
"I am a valiant cavalry captain," Mu Yunyan replied in a deep voice.
"Relax, relax,"
Looking at Mu Yunyan, Li Xin said with a smile, "We are now focusing our attack on the South City. If the grassland bandits in Shuangcheng Prefecture abandon the city and flee, we will need the Swift Cavalry to chase them down!"
Kill as many grassland bandits as possible, primarily to weaken their fighting force!
"Mu Yunyan, your elite cavalry battalion, prepare!"
"yes!"
Mu Yunyan responded.
"Oh, right,"
Li Xin began by saying, "The Valiant Cavalry are the precious gems of our Prince's Guard!"
Safety first!
If things don't look good, don't pursue!
"clear!"
Mu Yunyan responded and led the elite cavalry to take a detour to the northwest side of Shuangcheng Prefecture to ambush them.
The grassland bandits within Shuangcheng Prefecture did not have many elite cavalry, only three or four thousand men.
The continuous bombing had already resulted in heavy casualties. Furthermore, the fierce attack by the Shenwei Battalion soldiers further reduced their numbers by more than half.
The remaining grassland bandits were also terrified.
For these elite cavalry bandits of the grasslands, the only option was to kill them all!
Do everything in our power to annihilate the bandits' forces on the grasslands!
Only in this way can the safety of Dongning City, and even Dongning Province, be guaranteed!
Therefore, Li Xin made multiple preparations.
With the support of the Divine Martial Battalion and the Divine Valor Battalion, the battle in the southern part of Shuangcheng Prefecture went much more smoothly.
The soldiers of the royal guard, full of fighting spirit, rushed up the city wall and charged into the city.
Although the Shenwu Battalion was small in number, some of its outposts were equipped with thunderbolts.
This is also a pilot project conducted by Li Xin.
As the soldiers of the Divine Martial Battalion advanced, they used thunderclaps to clear a path and destroy the enemy's stubborn defensive fortifications.
With these powerful weapons, the Divine Martial Camp's attack speed was indeed very fast.
In a short time, they had already occupied several streets, and the vanguard was gradually approaching the government office inside the city.
The former Shuangcheng government office has now become the residence of Hajilang, the chief of the grassland bandits.
After escaping back from the south city wall, Hajilang ordered his entourage and grassland bandit cavalry to launch a counterattack in an attempt to save Shuangchengfu.
However, the explosions in the streets and the fierce fighting sent a chill down Hajiron's spine.
He knew that the situation was becoming increasingly serious.
"Commander-in-Chief,"
A trusted aide rushed in and said, "The entire southern city has fallen, and the Dongning army has already reached Wenmiao Street!"
Wenmiao Street is only two streets away from the government office.
At such a close distance, it probably won't be long before the Dongning army is able to break in.
what to do?
For a moment, President Hajirang was at his wits' end and couldn't come up with a solution.
Only then did Hajilang realize that Kuntai had warned him before the battle that the Dongning army was formidable and should not be underestimated.
However, by then, it was too late!
The Dongning army has already stormed into the city!
Hajirang was filled with regret.
"Kun'ertai, where is Kun'ertai!"
Hajilang took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice, "Bring Kun'ertai here immediately!"
Hajilang's mind is currently blank, as if it's filled with mush, and he can't come up with any good solutions.
Perhaps Kuntai can come up with a good idea!
At this point, Hajilang had placed his hopes on Kunertai.
A short while later, Kuntai strode into the room, "Commander!"
"Come here quickly!"
Grabbing Kuntai's hand, Hajilang said urgently, "I regret not listening to you back then, which led to the state of Shuangchengfu becoming what it is today."
"Kun'ertai, what do you think we should do now?"
"this……"
Kuntai was also somewhat at a loss.
This was his second battle against the Dongning army, and this time it was even more dangerous than the last.
After all, they hadn't encountered artillery in the last battle of Dongning City, so they weren't as fearful.
This time, however, the situation is somewhat different.
After pondering for a long time, Kun Ertai let out a long breath and said, "Commander, defending the city is our weakness and our disadvantage."
Now, we are at a disadvantage against the advantage of the Dongning army, and it is only natural that we will fail.
"Commander-in-Chief, we should change this situation and leverage the strengths of our cavalry."
How to perform well?
Hajirang asked.
"Abandon the Twin Cities!"
Kuntai's gaze was firm as he said, "Integrate the elite cavalry within the city and send them out to fight the Dongning army in the open field!"
Only in this way can we leverage the advantages of cavalry, and whether we fight or retreat, the initiative will remain in our hands!
We wouldn't be in such a passive situation now!
"Abandon Shuangchengfu?"
Hajilang frowned and remained silent for a long time.
