Zhao Tong looked confident, and his words made all the generals curious.

What good strategy does my general have to quickly seize the remaining two strong cities of Longsang and Xiangwu?

Doubts were doubts, and then they understood why he was so confident!

Following the fall of Didao, under Zhao Tong's arrangement, the following battle report was widely exaggerated and spread throughout Longxi.

In order to make Xiangwu strong, the morale of Longsang's defenders was shattered.

The Ma Zhong tribe and the Shenlang Qiang who were besieging the city deliberately opened a gap.

The military news about Didao's fall spread into the city.

"What? Didao fell, General Fei returned in defeat, and is now missing?"

"No way. Didao's city is strong and the general has many troops under his command. How could it be lost so easily?"

"Could this be a trick of the Shu army? An attempt to cholera our military morale?"

"I thought I could ignore it!"

When Xiangwu City learned the news, the soldiers all over the city quickly started talking about it.

The generals under his command also told Dai Ling that this was a treacherous plot by the Han army.

Dai Ling was now holding his hands on the battlements, looking at the Han army camp below, and said with a deep look of worry on his face:

"Oh, it doesn't matter anymore whether it's treacherous or not!"

"I'm afraid our army won't be able to hold on to the city."

"ah?"

"General Dai, you are the commander-in-chief of an army, so don't be discouraged first?"

"The city of Xiangwu is thick. As long as our army resists bravely, no matter how many enemy troops there are, we can't break the city."

…

After saying a few words in succession, the generals were quite high-spirited, and they all offered their hands for battle.

However, Dai Ling was unmoved. Instead, he couldn't help sighing:

"It's not that I don't want to hold on to the city, but that this is a conspiracy of the Shu army!"

"Our army is already at a disadvantage in terms of situation."

As soon as he said these words, the deputy general on the side looked puzzled and asked quickly: "What does General Dai mean by this?"

"The Shu army spread rumors that Didao has been lost and General Fei was defeated. Their intention is to destabilize the morale of our army. I am afraid that this is not only the case in Xiangwu, but also the important border city of Longsang City has received this military information."

At this point, he paused for a moment before speaking, then shook his head slightly and said, "But so what if this is false?"

"Our army has no way to clarify it."

"Didao, Xiangwu, and Longsang have now become isolated cities. They are besieged by the Shu and Qiang Alliance legions. Not even birds can enter."

"General Fei can lead his troops into the city, does that mean this is a rumor?"

"Since General Fei can't come, then the plan is complete..."

As soon as the words were said, under Dai Ling's slow and methodical analysis, this matter was also fulfilled in the next few days.

As the rumors became more and more mysterious and they could not receive the slightest news from the outside world, the defenders of Xiangwu and Longsang cities knew nothing about the situation of Didao and the general Fei Yao.

Under the huge pressure of rumors, the mood of the soldiers under his command was gradually affected.

Gradually, I felt panicky!

In their opinion, Didao, the city with the strongest walls and the most powerful soldiers, was lost, so how could they stop the city?

Under this situation, Dai Ling could still suppress it a little, so that Xiangwu's soldiers had not completely deteriorated and still retained a bit of combat power.

But the situation in Longsang City is not optimistic!

The general garrisoning Longsang is not very capable, and his encouragement of military morale is too superficial.

Under the pressure of public opinion, morale in the city became increasingly depressed.

And all this was also known to Fei Yao, who had defeated Didao and led his troops to retreat to Shouyang east of Longxi.

Before he retreated, he sent scouts scattered around Longxi to collect intelligence.

When he learned that the Shu army had used rumor offensives to cause the morale of the defenders in Xiangwu and Longsang cities to drop and their morale to be disorganized, Fei Yao's face suddenly turned ashen.

"It's over, it's over! Longxi has been lost and cannot withstand the arrival of reinforcements."

He turned extremely pale for a moment and murmured to himself tremblingly.

Fei Yao still had thoughts deep in his heart. Even though he fell into a trap and lost Didao, he knew the habits of the Qiang people very clearly!

Due to the dense population and prosperity of Didao, it is impossible not to be tempted when the White Horse Qiang people enter the city. If the Qiang people cannot restrain their military discipline, they will go on a killing spree and plunder the people.

The reputation of benevolence and righteousness that the Shu army has worked so hard for over many years will be wiped out in an instant!

As long as the Shu army cannot win the hearts and minds of Longxi County, they can launch a counterattack to retake the entire county after the arrival of their main force.

He can also perform meritorious deeds to atone for his sins.

But when he heard that Zhao Tong actually prevented the Baima Qiang from entering the city, his hopes were shattered.

Immediately afterwards, Fei Yao placed his hope that Dai Ling and General Long Sang could use the defense of the Second City of Xiangwu to hold on, which was equivalent to retaining the possibility of counterattack!

But the facts were before his eyes, and Zhao Tong's rumor offensive easily disintegrated the military morale of the two cities.

This is an upright conspiracy.

As long as Fei Yao does not appear in the second city's perspective with his troops, the morale of the defenders will continue to be low.

But now that the city is surrounded by water, how can we enter the city?

The so-called "conquering the enemy without fighting" is the best policy!

"Zhao Tong is really a formidable enemy. In just a few years of confrontation, his military and strategic skills have grown faster and faster."

"Cong led his troops to attack the Western Qiang army, and sent General Ji to lead his troops to attack the Baima Qiang. Taking advantage of the situation, he ordered his troops to seize Didao, and then used the rumor offensive to undermine the morale of the troops in the remaining two cities."

"This series of good strategies are seamless, link by link, really exquisite!"

At this time, Fei Yao seemed to be expressionless. Even though they were rivals, he sincerely praised Zhao Tong's military talents.

"With Zhao Tong's growth rate, he will definitely be a future general!"

He then sighed secretly.

After thinking for a long time, Fei Yao also knew that Zhang He's army, which was coming from Jicheng to help, was still on the way to rush here for at least a few days. However, in the current situation of Longxi, Xiangwu and Longsang may not be able to

Hold on.

In order to delay time, Fei Yao decided to take a bold plunge!

He gathered his subordinates and went to Xiangwu City to fight, hoping to form a cooperation with Dai Ling in the city and jointly attack the Shu army besieging the city.

As long as we can defeat all the soldiers and horses, save one of the cities, and prevent the Shu army from taking over the entire territory.

Then our side will retain the opportunity for reinforcements to arrive for counterattack.

This is also Fei Yao’s final counterattack!

Due to successive deployments, the strength of the Han army under Xiangwu City has become much weaker.

This is also the reason why Fei Yao chose to attack Xiangwu with all his strength.

…

As Cao's army attacked in large numbers, Ma Zhong naturally received this military information quickly.

However, he did not show the slightest panic, but slowly mobilized his troops to defend.

The two armies soon fought together.

This massive movement quickly alerted the defenders in the city.

When Dai Ling saw this, his face was undoubtedly filled with joy.
