70 BD, 50 MD, 80 CD
135R, 115 ES (135R)

Next triple block has the chances of being nasty. I do NOT recommend the block if you don`t have cannoneers, and if you do, keep eyes open and send the generals in the proper order, they are numbered on the picture for a good reason.

If you use cannons version, move the veteran in the BHG spot on the picture. This block is risky and you can at times lose the troops on the first blocking general.

Send general in the middle camp to attack C22, wait untill he enters it and then send in order attacks on C20, C23 and C21. If you use the cannons version, place veteran general on the position where the BHG is on the picture.

Sector 7:

Next block can be done from 2 positions for the veteran general marked on next picture with A and B. Notice B is the position occupied possibly by the fast general recovering from last block.
Anyway order of sending attacks is A-1-2-3 in fast succession if veteran can`t be positioned on B spot or 1-2-3-B if the fast general has recovered and can be moved away.

Sector 10:

Best to call in lootspotters now and send them on the stonetowers. Carefull when you check combat simulation to pick the stone tower too as it gives a 90% bonus (I didn`t and wondered why some of my xbows died). You can send lootspotters though on any camp in this sector with 1-5R.
