The actions of Shaodian's team were still a step too slow. The giant city wall spanning three counties has been built to a height of ten meters, and millions of civilians are still working on it. The city wall continues to grow taller and thicker. Look, it is less than twenty meters high.
Won't stop.
"He Lianyu! What is in her mind? She dares to think and do this kind of thing! Think about the agreement she gave Lord Zhou Mu, she was already planning it at that time. 'New General God', she deserves it
You deserve this title." Jiang Zhi sighed.
Nanmao Prefecture is once again in crisis, and the previously stable defense line is in danger.
The prefectural shepherd Shaodianxi became anxious and ordered an emergency recruitment of troops across the state. The city defense troops from the cities in the rear were immediately transferred to the front line to supplement the missing legions, especially the twelfth legion.
The Kong family stepped forward at this time, recruited soldiers from Wenguo County and surrounding cities and counties, and established their own Southland Army Corps, with Kong Liang as its commander.
Under Jiang Xi's urging, the First Haitian Army has joined forces with the First Army of China. The weakest southern front has been strengthened, relying on the terrain to suppress the Fourth and Ninth Army of Bangladesh.
Seeing the steady stream of reinforcements arriving, Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Zhi thought hard in his room for a day, and he came out in much better spirits today, "Sir, our troops have more than one million troops. It will be difficult to recover the lost land, but it is not a big problem to block Helianyu's attack."
"What's your best idea?"
"Helianyu's city wall can effectively resist our army's attack, but it also limits their mobility and attack direction. After reconnaissance, the entire city wall has nine gates. If the enemy wants to launch a large-scale attack, it must start from these nine gates.
The small forces that climbed over the wall could only perform reconnaissance and harassment missions.
Our army only needs to station a certain number of troops outside the nine city gates. The main army can rest in the rear and support wherever the enemy is found. Build more surveillance towers in other places, set up more traps in dense forests, and let new soldiers perform patrol tasks.
Train your troops in actual combat. When more reinforcements are mobilized from the rear, you can take the initiative to attack the weak points of defense." Jiang Zhi saw the pros and cons of the city wall.
"Well, put your fists away and aim at the target before throwing them out. Since you can't take the lead, let's beat them later. There are ten legions rushing to the war zone, excluding the 20th legion. Each of the other legions will send a division.
Block the city gate and rotate it every three months. For other specific arrangements, please discuss with the army staff and make a detailed plan for me." Jiang Xi had to accept the fact that he had lost the strategic initiative.
Yanling County City, the former County Sheriff's Office.
The hall of the Sheriff's Mansion was brightly lit, but the guards and attendants stayed far away. No one dared to come within twenty steps of the hall. From time to time, the sound of objects falling to the ground could be heard from the hall.
A girl with a sweet appearance like the girl next door was walking up and down the hall alone with her bare feet, muttering to herself, "We haven't defeated Shaodian Kingdom yet, there are still millions of troops waiting in front of the pass.
They started quarreling over petty gains."
"It's the same at home. Even if I don't serve as a bad commander, I can still be a Zhenhai Gong when I go back."
"Don't want to be enterprising? What a joke. People replenish troops quickly? Or we replenish troops quickly? A large-scale battle will kill a lot of people, and I don't see the commander-in-chief giving me more troops."
"Who is making the plan on the other side? What does the Military Intelligence Department do? I don't even know who my opponent is, how can I analyze his weaknesses?"
Two guards were whispering to each other.
Guard A asked: "Commander, what's going on?"
"It's not the Cao and Qi people who are causing trouble. I heard that they all pulled out their troops to confront each other." Guard B replied quietly.
"I heard that some military leaders in China questioned the lack of progress on the front line after the Chinese New Year." Guard A looked around.
"Shh, the people in the rear can say whatever they want, but you can't talk nonsense in a war zone. The soldiers of Shaodian Kingdom are not stupid. This is their territory. It is not so easy to make progress." Guard B lowered his voice even more.
He said lowly, "Be careful these two days. The commander-in-chief is in a bad mood. If you make a mistake, you will be punished by going to the enemy's rear to gather information."
The sudden appearance of the city wall shocked military history researchers from various countries in the continent. Since this strategic move was proposed by Helian Yu, everyone called it the "Helian Jade Wall".
Shaodian Kingdom responded quickly to the appearance of the "Helian Jade Wall". The main force disappeared from the enemy's sight, and only nine divisions were stuck outside the nine gates of the "Helian Jade Wall"; and along the "Helian Jade Wall"
Many surveillance towers were built on the "Helian Jade Wall" to monitor the enemy's situation on the "Helian Jade Wall" day and night.
The coalition forces seemed to have no way to break the situation and stopped large-scale military operations. The two sides dropped from the battle at the corps level to the battle below the brigade level.
The only country in the south that did not participate in the war finally responded. Our country sent officials to condemn the three kingdoms of Meng, Cao, and Qi, and expressed support and concern for Shaodian Kingdom;
Shaodianrong, the former princess of Shaodian Kingdom, bought it with her own money.
The reactions of Meng, Cao and Qi were naturally dismissive, while Shaodian Dan was dumbfounded.
"Your Majesty, we should send envoys to our country to persuade our country to send troops to join us in fighting foreign enemies. If those three countries occupy Nanma Prefecture, they will pose a serious threat to our country's border." Zisi said at the court meeting.
Yang Zhao didn't take it seriously and retorted: "If our country wants to help, they will ask for help even if we don't tell them. Looking at their recent statements, they just hope that we will make a request first so that they can negotiate terms. Master Zisi believes that they will
Help us unconditionally?"
"As long as we send enough troops to Nanmao Prefecture, we can drive the coalition forces into Tongyuanjiang with our own strength." Shaodian Zhang was also not satisfied with Zisi's proposal.
Fan Yang couldn't help it anymore and took Shao Dianzhang's words and said: "Enough? How much is enough? Now there are more than one million troops in Nanzhao Prefecture participating in the war. The kingdom's taxes for the whole year last year can only sustain them for three months.
.The newly added taxes this year have been criticized by various places, and there have been widespread complaints among the people, and there have been sporadic rebellions in some places. The Commander-in-Chief cannot just be happy in words, the treasury does not have enough gold coins for you to squander."
"Xiang Fan, you are wrong to say that." Xun Qi's men have been frustrated at the Ministry of Finance recently. He had been dissatisfied for a long time, and finally found an opportunity to confront Fan Yang, "Can more money in the treasury buy back the country?
The soldiers are fighting tooth and nail on the front line to take back the country and save the people. How come you are squandering money?"
There was a moment of silence in the meeting hall. Fan Yang was anxious and said he was happy. Xun Qi caught him short and slapped him with a big hat. The people in the Government Affairs Council wanted to help but did not dare to accept Xun Qi's words.
"All the ministers are worried about national affairs. No one wants to lose the country and the people suffer. The General Office is working hard for the war and is commendable for its loyalty. The Government Council is dedicated to stabilizing the country and is patriotic and loves the people." Shaodian Dan came out to be the peacemaker, "Yes.
Let’s work together to solve the suffering, and don’t complain or blame each other.”
As a member of the Government Affairs Council but hoping to repel the enemy as soon as possible, Kong Shu came out to mediate: "Prime Minister Fan is not against increasing troops, he means that so many troops have not been able to bring the situation back to Nanzhao Prefecture, and if we want to increase the number of troops, we need specific details."
How many more troops will be sent? How long will it take to end the war?"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I mean." Fan Yang quickly agreed.
"Nanzhao Prefecture now has 200,000 local troops from Linhai Prefecture, and there are many children of the Fan family among them. Prime Minister Fan must respect the soldiers at the front, but the difficulties faced by the Ministry of Finance are not small. He can get angry when he speaks.
I understand, Master Zhang, don’t take it to heart,” Kong Shu said again.
"In other words, my personal honor and disgrace are not important, those who fight for Shaodian's country are the most important." Shaodianzhang said his words in a high-sounding way.
"I may have made a mistake just now, but I didn't mean to belittle the frontline soldiers in the slightest. I don't object to the commander-in-chief sending more troops, but the war cannot continue endlessly. The national treasury has been emptied. Don't blame me for not allocating money to you." Fan Yang softened.
tone.
Zisi coughed, then stepped forward and said: "Now we are discussing whether we should ask our country for help. Colleagues, please don't digress."
"The meaning of the Senate and the Commander-in-Chief's Office is very clear. There is no need to beg our own country." Yang Zhao also represented the Commander-in-Chief's Office.
Allowing one's own country to send troops is tantamount to saying that the commander-in-chief is incompetent. Shao Dianzhang would rather be represented by Yang Zhao and resolutely stand on the same front with him.
"Gu's second sister is a sensible person. Her words can influence our country's national policy. Judging from our country's reaction, she is unwilling to help me solve this trouble. There is no need to talk about asking for help from my country." Shaodian Dan.
Knowing that he didn't say anything, the ministers below would still have illusions.
"In this case, the Government Council recommends that the General Administration maintain the current scale of operations. Our local operations are still so financially tight. The enemy has to cross the Tongyuan River to supply. Their financial pressure should be much greater than ours. Now the front line can and
The enemy forces are confronting each other and maintaining a no-win situation. Prolonging this situation will do us more good than harm. Of course, it is another matter if the commander-in-chief has a strategy to defeat the enemy." Zisi retreated and settled for the next best thing.
Since the war started, Shaodian's side has not gained the upper hand. Shaodian Zhang could not dare to say that he had a strategy to defeat the enemy, so he had to agree with Zisi's opinion and let the war continue in a stalemate.
The Nanzhou War Zone has thus entered a long-term stalemate stage.
Ding Kui, who was in the Ancient Yuan Empire, didn't know the domestic situation, so he traveled with Ao Yu towards the imperial city - Luojing City.
Luojing City is one of the largest human cities in the world. There are two mountains in the north and west, namely Haoyi Mountain and Qishan Mountain, which have become the natural barriers of Luojing City. Therefore, Luojing City only has two city walls in the east and south.
The imperial palace of the Ancient Yuan Empire was built on Qishan Mountain, hidden in the clouds and mist. It is very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people and is known as the tallest palace complex in the world.
"I feel there is a dangerous person over there." Ao Yu looked at the majestic city in the distance and instinctively felt the tremendous pressure.
"It's okay. As long as you keep a low profile, there won't be any danger. How can the seal of the Dharma God be so easily seen through? I'm here to find someone, and it will be safer if I find him." Ding Kui's eyes were deeply attracted by Luo Jingcheng.
