Chapter 138 Suzaku is born, and the secret treasure is obtained!

The next day, the sun rose as usual.

Tang Jing received a big gift as soon as he got up and found that the construction speed of the nearby third city wall of Chang'an City and the distant Meiling Hydropower Station had been accelerated ten times.

visible.

The [Global Construction Acceleration Card] that Gale took has been sent to the coalition base camp, and was used by the coalition commander Grant, and also benefited Chang'an City.

It’s so cool!

[Global Construction Acceleration Card], combined with Chang'an's own construction acceleration, is enough to successfully complete the third city wall of Chang'an City within the next month.

It saves a lot of construction time in Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Tang Jing quickly took out the bridge construction drawings, river embankment construction drawings, granary construction drawings, etc. that he had purchased on the global market, and started the bridge and river embankment construction projects in the Wannian District.

Anyway, there is plenty of stone and other materials.

Don't take advantage of the bastard, if you pass this village, there will be no such store.

If the area where the Wannian District of Chang'an City was not already occupied by the coalition forces, Tang Jing would have wanted to take the opportunity to start the construction of the Wannian District and make a big splash.

I have to say, Grant is such a good person!

There are also Joaquin County, Denton County, Macomb County and Monroe County that are under construction. They are no longer part of Chang'an because they are occupied by enemy troops.

Naturally, it is a pity that the internal construction of the four county towns cannot be operated.

But come to think of it.

Grant wouldn't mind helping, right?

Tang Jing was familiar with history and had some suggestions from Mr. Wu, so he had vaguely noticed that Grant was unusual.

This guy.

It seems that he has a disobedient heart.

And if Gale knew it, the lot he worked so hard to take would end up being cheaper for Chang'an.

I don’t know what to think?

The great injustice has been dealt with.

………

Pelican County, temporary headquarters of the coalition forces.

Grant would never have thought that his evaluation by his enemy Tang Jing would be so "high", let alone that his little thoughts would be seen through by Tang Jing.

He is busy planning a siege on an unprecedented scale.

With the [Global Construction Acceleration Card], there are armored beasts that can destroy the city. The alliance even spent a lot of money to buy a third-level heavy infantry training house from Kasyapa.

Grant really had no reason to drag it out any longer.

In order to attack the city of Chang'an, the Alliance had already used all its strength. If the first coalition army was included, the Alliance had raised a total of 1.3 million troops.

Not only that.

The alliance lords also raised more than 200 million kilograms of grain, thousands of tons of pig iron, nearly 10,000 war horses, and countless stones, wood and other basic materials for the army.

There are also various architectural drawings, craftsmen, etc.

In order to win this national war, many lords donated their treasures such as archers, cavalry, armor, siege equipment technical manuals, grain ships, etc. to the alliance for free.

In addition to manpower and force, the alliance also spent huge financial resources.

During the auction period alone, a total of 950,000 gold coins were spent. Including allowances, pensions, etc. for the coalition forces, the entire war fund expenditure exceeded two million gold coins.

To support an army of one million people is indeed to mobilize the strength of the whole country.

Very scary.

Under such a situation, if Grant continues to refuse to launch a general attack, the end may not be good.

The Alliance is not stupid.

"Have the reinforcements been settled?" Grant looked at Mike.

Because of his ulterior motives, even though public opinion within the alliance was already fierce, Grant was still trying to find ways to delay the general attack. The trick was——

Ask the alliance again to raise 500,000 reinforcements.

The first batch of 200,000 reinforcements had been almost exhausted in the past ten days of siege operations, and the size of the coalition force was once again reduced to one million.

Grant took advantage of the situation and proposed to increase the number of troops by 500,000 in order to make the general offensive foolproof.

"General, the Alliance refused." Mike shook his head.

"reject?"

Grant frowned, "Didn't you explain it clearly to the alliance?"

Because Mike has joined the territory, he is not only a staff officer of the coalition forces, but also playing the role of a supervisor during this expedition. He is the bridge and hub of communication between the coalition forces and the alliance.

"explained…"

Mike said regretfully: "The alliance's response is that since it is a general offensive, there is no need to retain the rear troops and the base camp's troops. The alliance is required to move the base camp forward to the war front."

The war had been going on for almost half a month, and Grant was still stuck in the rear.

Regarding this.

The alliance is very dissatisfied.

In comparison, the former coalition commander Rogers seemed too heroic.

"At the same time, the alliance also proposed——"

"Since there is only one heavy cavalry brigade in Chang'an in the northern part of Haiwan County, the Northern Route Army can also take advantage of the situation to move south and join the Central Route Army. The enemy cavalry brigade can be dealt with by the local defenders of the River Valley Province."

This is equivalent to asking the headquarters to send all 1.05 million troops to the front line of the siege.

If this is the case.

There is indeed no need to continue sending reinforcements.

It’s already a last-ditch battle!

"Oh well!"

Grant's eyes flickered for a moment, but he rarely persisted because he had a vague feeling that the alliance seemed to have a suspicion about him.

If you cause trouble again, I'm afraid you will be exposed.

"The order was sent to move the base camp forward to Macon County, and the 50,000 troops and horses of the headquarters were still retained to be responsible for guarding the transportation of grain and grass along the way. At the same time, the order was sent to merge the rear army into the West Route Army and the north route army into the middle route army."

As the commander-in-chief of the Union forces, Grant also had a temper, and it was impossible for the Union to do whatever it said.

"good!"

Mike didn't object because he didn't want to be on the front line.

All have psychological shadows.

"In order to create conditions for the final decisive battle, the Central Route Army, the East Route Army, the South Route Army, and the West Route Army must strengthen their offensive against Chang'an City and continue to consume the supplies of the enemy's defenders." Grant added.

"clear!"

In terms of specific tactical arrangements, Mike is actually a very good executor.

"By the way, is there any latest progress in the water pollution, tunnel excavation and other work I mentioned before?" Grant still did not give up trying to find tricks.

It is really stupid to attack a city with a million troops.

"It's hard."

Mike explained: "Chang'an City's moat has not yet implemented water diversion from the river, and because Chang'an City is located on the riverside, groundwater is very abundant. It is difficult to pollute the groundwater..."

"As for digging tunnels, we are digging, but Chang'an City has aerial reconnaissance forces and has long seen through our tricks. It seems unrealistic to launch a surprise attack."

"..."

Grant was speechless for a moment. Why did he feel that Chang'an was like an iron barrel?

Confidence is rarely shaken.

………

April 2nd is destined to be a very lively day.

This side.

Millions of allied troops are sharpening their swords against Chang'an City, hoping to conquer Chang'an in one battle.

that side.

The Nanyang Alliance is already raising 300,000 troops and is preparing to declare war on the Swaggering Kingdom.
