Commander Xu Jinjin looked at more than 2,000 people with neat military appearance, who appeared near the fortress according to the drill plan that was carried out at regular intervals similar to before.
He led his men to attack the Chengtian Fortress in front of him, and Chief of Staff Zhu Mingming led his men to block the supporting enemy troops.
They must open the way to march into Wu.
He looked at the artillery regiments that had been deployed.
It is equipped with three 155mm caliber heavy artillery and eight 105mm caliber heavy artillery.
People are easy to hide, but equipment is hard to hide.
These large equipment can only be mixed into disaster relief machinery.
The number of disaster relief machinery is small, and the number of artillery and tanks arriving at the front line is also small.
The people of Wu are not stupid. Gui's large-scale deployment of chariots and heavy artillery will inevitably expose their flaws.
The troops sent to the front line were dispersed and really went to various places to provide disaster relief.
These troops regrouped in Heyuan Prefecture, which was also the end of the disaster relief. They disguised themselves as disaster victims and moved, and this was how they deceived the Wu State.
General Lan Ke has now mobilized 20,000 troops, waiting to rush into Wu's territory.
Xu's mission when he was promoted to Army Commander was to knock down the Wu Kingdom's most important fortress in Chengtian Mansion - Chengtian Fortress.
The border between Wu and Gui is extremely long, and there are no mountains or rivers to block it.
It is impossible to do nothing on the border between the two countries.
The two countries have only been established for a short period of time, and they do not have enough money to invest in national defense.
It is impossible to build a Great Wall made of steel, but there is no problem at all in building fortresses at important nodes.
Xu Jin's mission was to block the defenders inside the fortress and at least make the fortress' artillery mute.
Don't let the fortress threaten other armies.
Once the fortress's heavy artillery attacks the marching army, it will cause extremely heavy casualties.
The best result is that he can capture the fortress in a short time, so he doesn't have to worry about the heavy firepower inside the fortress.
Seeing the high morale of the army, Commander Xu Jin immediately ordered an attack on the Chengtian Fortress of Wu State.
The heavy siege cannon fired shells weighing several tons and flew directly towards the fortress built of reinforced concrete ahead.
A huge noise was heard, and the concrete walls of the fortress were splashed, but the overall fortress was not damaged much.
When Xu Jinjin saw this situation, he showed a helpless expression.
With the development of concrete technology, concrete is specially used for military construction, and the fortresses built are extremely strong.
Even the heavy artillery used to attack the fortress cannot conquer the fortress in a short time.
Commander Xu Jin saw that Chengtian Fortress had opened fire.
Wu State has determined that Gui State is not conducting an exercise this time, and the main attack direction is Chengtian Mansion. Wu State's supporting troops will arrive soon.
He wanted to command his men as soon as possible to deal with Wu's Chengtian Fortress.
Gui's artillery continued to attack Wu's Chengtian Fortress.
The artillery on Wu Guo's Chengtian Fortress also fired back.
Long tongues of flame were constantly shooting out of the shooting holes of Chengtian Fortress.
The bullets of more than ten water-cooled heavy machine guns formed a fire net, preventing the troops from trying to approach the fortress.
News of the opening fire between the two countries quickly spread across the airwaves.
…
In the palace of Gui Wang, Gui Wang Qutian smoked a cigarette and waited for the telegram from the front line.
When he saw the situation reported by General Lan Ke, he flicked his cigarette ashes and said: "Everything is going smoothly on the front line, and Wu seems to be unprepared.
We are fully prepared. When the war begins, everything will be left to the soldiers on the front line.
We must fully trust the soldiers on the front line and not put pressure on them."
Gui Wang Qutian was in a good mood, and the current situation was completely within his expectation.
As long as it proceeds step by step, Gui Guo has a great chance of winning.
…
When Wu Wangqi got the news, he was stunned for ten seconds.
He took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took two puffs.
Wu Wangqi flicked the cigarette ashes with his hand resolutely, and said in surprise: "How is it possible that a large-scale flood really occurred in Guiguo?
It is impossible for Gui State to have enough national strength to prepare for war while providing disaster relief."
Governor Zhou Quanjin, who had just arrived at the palace, had a headache.
The plans prepared by the State of Wu were preempted by the State of Wu.
Wu State did prepare some plans for defensive operations, but most of them were just dealt with.
The moment Wu Guo decided to list Gui Gui as an enemy country, he had been preparing to attack.
Governor Zhou Quanjin knew that something had happened, so he could only try his best to make amends.
He saw Wu Wangqi's resolute doubts, and the tester answered: "Given the way Gui State did not hesitate to launch an attack, could they have already made preparations to attack our country?
If this flood hadn't delayed the situation, the war might have broken out long ago."
Wu Wangqi said resolutely and angrily: "It must be like this, Gui Wang Qutian is ambitious.
When the Gui State was first established, he was ready to plunder the Wu State."
Wu Wangqi frowned resolutely and asked: "Gui Guo launched an attack in the direction of Chongcheng Tianfu, which was beyond our expectations.
There are too few defenders in Chengtian Mansion, so troops need to be mobilized from other directions.
We must also be on guard against Gui Guo’s feint attack and not transfer all the troops from other places, leaving mobile troops.”
The Grand Governor Zhou Quanjin showed a wry smile and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the Chengtian Fortress is very solid.
But no matter how strong the fortress is, it cannot stop the enemy's high-intensity attack.
Gui Guo chose to attack Chengtian Fortress, which means that Gui State already had a way to break through Chengtian Fortress.
Gui Guo broke through the Chengtian Fortress, and then the road was smooth.
As long as Gui's logistics can keep up, they can fight all the way to Jianye."
Wu Wangqi Gangyi heard this sentence, and his elegant expression immediately became fierce.
He is now the monarch of the kingdom. If he wants to pass on his power safely, the reputation of the royal family must not be too bad.
Wu Wangqi ordered resolutely: "I remember that there are a large number of grenades and landmines stored in the warehouse of Chengtian Fucheng.
Immediately notify Chengtianfu City to distribute grenades to the people, ensuring that every Han in Chengtianfu has at least one grenade in his hand.
Only people who have weapons in their hands have sufficient spirit of resistance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Let the troops defending the city mobilize the militia to lay a large number of landmines in Chengtian Mansion."
The Grand Governor Zhou Quanjin said with some horror: "Your Majesty, mines are indeed a good weapon.
Just dig a hole, pull out the safety of the mine, and bury it in the soil.
The steps are extremely simple and can be performed by elementary school students.
But the reason why engineers lay landmines is a skill.
We also need to consider the situation after the war.
Hundreds of thousands of landmines were buried in Chengtian Mansion, but they were still laid indiscriminately by the militia.
If you think about clearing landmines after the war, you will have to pay a huge price."
Wu Wangqi waved his hand resolutely and said: "We just need to mobilize the militia to lay mines.
The militiamen themselves couldn't find any pattern in the landmines they planted.
After the war, Chengtian Mansion was in the hands of the enemy, so we did not need to consider this matter.
After the war, Chengtian Mansion is still in the hands of Wu State, no matter how high the price is, I will take care of the local minefields."
King Qi of Wu thought for a while and ordered the First Chariot Regiment of Wu State, which was guarding the capital, to immediately go north to meet the enemy.
At the same time, in the name of King Wu, he sent a coded telegram to the defenders of Chengtian Fortress.
For every day the Chengtian Fortress is defended, one will be rewarded with ten taels of silver coins. For every ten days it is defended, the official rank will be promoted to one rank.
None of the soldiers in Wu's important fortresses were single men.
They all have families in Wu State, and the price of betraying Wu State is extremely high.
King Wu Qi resolutely encouraged these defenders with heavy rewards.
As long as they can delay Gui's army for a few days, Wu will be able to deploy troops to Chengtian Mansion to fight against Gui's army.
…
The news of the outbreak of war, now that wireless telegraphy has fully penetrated into all walks of life, cannot be concealed at all.
Not only the king and ministers of Wu State were the first to learn the news.
The people of Wu State also received the news immediately.
When the people of Jianye City heard the news, they immediately became excited.
A worker waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Compatriots, Gui State sent people to blow up our country's river embankments in order to use this despicable method to delay the development of our country.
Now their wolfish ambitions have been fully exposed.
Gui Guo wants to use war to plunder the wealth we have accumulated over the years.
Everyone who is able to join the army to serve the country, but if not able, donate a few hundred coins to support the country in resisting the Gui Kingdom."
A businessman waved a newspaper and said angrily: "Gui is a hateful country, they are definitely the most shameless country.
The information in the newspaper is not wrong at all.
We must serve the country and jointly resist the invasion of Gui."
The people of Wu State were very angry. Under the guidance of newspapers, they were full of hatred for Gui State.
This was the initiative of Gui State to attack Wu State, which raised the hatred of the people of Wu State a lot.
…
Yue Wang Palace.
King Bai Yuangui of Yue put the telegram aside.
He looked at Prime Minister Hong Xian and said with a smile: "A war has really broken out between Wu and Gui.
We have to fulfill our obligations as an ally. As long as Wu State pays, we can sell any goods.
We in Vietnam do not yet have any products that must be kept secret.
Wu and Yue have attracted the attention of Europe, so we must quietly implement the African strategy and never attract the attention of other countries."
When King Bai Yuangui of Yue said this, his voice involuntarily became softer.
He saw that because Chu State had coal and iron mines in the country, even if it was caught in a tug-of-war in Africa, its national power continued to rise.
Their country, Yue, was not affected by the war, but because of the domestic shortage of coal and iron, industrial development was struggling.
After exploration by geologists, there are basically no coal or iron mines with mining value in Vietnam itself.
If Vietnam wants to develop its industry, the only way is to target Africa.
Vietnam already occupies the northwest corner of the African continent and wants to take advantage of its geographical advantages to seize more territory on the African continent.
There are large iron ore mines in the Jinhe area. Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue, believed that in such a large African region, there must be iron ore mines elsewhere.
Vietnam sent a large number of geological experts to explore the desolate places in Africa.
At the cost of hundreds of casualties, Vietnam finally explored a medium-sized iron mine and a large coal mine in northwest Africa.
King Bai Yuangui of Yue was overjoyed, but he thought of the dispute between Chu and Song, so he kept the matter secret and did not invest in resource development.
At that time, the situation between Wu and Gui became tense.
The King of Yue, Bai Yuangui, could tell that if a war broke out between the two countries, it would definitely attract the attention of Europe.
Now things are developing in the direction he expected.
While the State of Yue supported the State of Wu, it also supported the State of Wu through public opinion.
Let the Wu-Yue War attract more attention.
The State of Yue has deployed fortifications around the coal and iron mines and sent strong troops to garrison them, so it doesn't have to worry about others paying attention.
…
King Lu Chenyang of Chu laughed while reading the telegram.
He said happily: "The war between Wu and Gui is a good thing for Chu.
The Wu State was very powerful and tried to form an alliance with the Song State. Taking advantage of our country's decline, it took advantage of our country's decline to attack the border areas of our country. That would be dangerous at that time.
It's just that the two countries Wu and Gui are involved in this war, but the scale is still too small. We need to find ways to involve more countries in the war.
These countries have too much time to take care of themselves, so they will not support Song."
When Chu King Lu Chenyang said these words, his tone became extremely cold.
Chu's army was much stronger than Song's.
Other countries supported the Song State, which allowed the Song State to compete with the Chu State in the Jinhe area.
King Lu Chenyang of Chu closed his eyes and thought about how to involve more countries in the war between Wu and Gui.
…
King Rui Su Lei saw the urgent arms orders issued by Wu and Gui, and he smiled from ear to ear.
When the war broke out, the arms business was the most profitable business.
He believes that these countries are too anxious and start wars without accumulating much foundation.
These countries have a shallow foundation. Even if they mobilize the whole country to support the war, the war will not last long.
King Rui Su Lei had already analyzed that the early days of the founding of the country were definitely not suitable for a war.
He has been sitting back and watching the fight, except paying attention to the West African colonies and obtaining some raw materials for industrial development.
Switzerland has never intervened in the disputes of other countries on its own territory.

This is the wise choice.
…
Zhao Wang Su Xiong has been paying attention to the situation in Europe.
He also has a dream of becoming a hegemon, at least to have North America recognize Zhao as the regional hegemon.
If Zhao wanted to achieve this goal, the empire would not be able to cross the threshold.
The empire had a history of intervening in disputes between vassal states.
Zhao Wang Su Xiong knew Su He as the emperor.
He has been acting within the framework of the vassal state planned by Emperor Su He.
But he believed that this was a cage that restricted Zhao Guo's take-off.
King Zhao Su Xiong himself did not dare to take any action.
He saw these princes and kings in Europe. They were newborn calves and were not afraid of tigers.
They had just been canonized, which was the most exciting moment.
As long as there is a slight provocation, the two countries will become mortal enemies.
While experienced vassal kings like King Zhao Su Xiong would not make mistakes, new kings would definitely make many mistakes.
Zhao Wang Su Xiong wanted to explore the bottom line of Emperor Su He by observing the fate of these people.
In this way, we know that the red line in Emperor Su He's heart will not allow the country that has been built so hard to perish.
King Zhao Su Xiong will always keep an eye on the situation between Wu and Gui.
The fate of these two countries will determine what Zhao will do in the future?
He believes that he is not the only one who is staring at the fate of these two countries.
Zhao Guo promoted the process of feuding among these European countries and clearly noticed that several forces were doing similar things.
Zhao Wang Su Xiong believed that his brother Wei Wang Su Hu and the shrewd Cao Wang Li Dazhuang would never miss this opportunity.
They will inevitably do similar things, and now they are also paying attention to the fate of Wu and Gui.
King Zhao Su Xiong was also very uneasy. He had always been afraid of the worst outcome.
He believed that most people were expecting that the empire would just reprimand him and impose some mild punishment.
