"Let the glimmer of light become the catalyst for glorious victory?"
Ariel's fair face was full of urgency, her body leaned forward slightly, and she quickly asked: "Lord, what on earth is that?"
Following Ariel's question, the other subordinates also looked curious.
"It's very simple, it's the efforts of each of us."
Lei Xiao's answer was an understatement, but revealed a firmness: "Before a huge opponent comes to the city, we must make all preparations, try to make ourselves stronger, and try to make this land more impregnable."
"In a classic book handed down from my hometown, there is this sentence, which is called "Tao comes from heaven, and things depend on people. What people have learned is all divine." To put it simply, things depend on people."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and while scanning every subordinate present, he continued: "Since the war is unavoidable, each of us will be an important part in determining the success or failure of this life and death. As long as we don't
If it falls down, the flag of the territory will fly high in the wind!"
"This subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for the lord!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, all the subordinates were already excited and said in unison.
"Next, let's plan specific countermeasures."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, first turned to the commander of Wangxing City, Orr, and asked: "How long will it take before the opponent's 300,000-strong army reaches the city?"
"Back to Lord, the 10 legions that you retreated to the empty city before have temporarily retreated to the nearest city within the influence of the eldest prince and the second prince. It is about a day's march from here."
Orr stroked his chest and saluted, and responded solemnly: "The following 20 legions did not adopt a forced march. Instead, they assembled and marched at normal speed. It will take about seven days."
"Didn't adopt a forced march, but moved forward at a normal speed?"
Ariel's fair face was full of confusion. She frowned and thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I know! The reason why the other party did this is to leave time for us to fight without fighting, right? In this way,
It will undoubtedly be easier to win.”
"That's right, the response this time was quite fast."
Lei Xiao casually touched Ariel's head and said with a faint smile: "I'm afraid the other party didn't expect that we would resolve the grievances of the new citizens so quickly, right?"
"Thanks to the lord for taking precautions, otherwise there would really be no way to save the situation."
Ariel smiled obediently and said sincerely: "Now, my two prince brothers are going to get angry again."
"Your Highness the Princess is right, but after the other party realizes that our side has stabilized, I'm afraid they will speed up their march."
Al nodded thoughtfully, then bowed to Lei Xiao and said: "From this, I can infer that the actual time for the opponent's troops to enter the city may be about 2 days earlier than expected."
"Does that mean there are still 5 days left? The time left for us to prepare is indeed numbered."
While Lei Xiao gently rubbed his chin, he spoke to the female knight on the other end of the conversation: "Lin, how is the situation with the troops returning home?"
"Back to Lord, according to the planned plan, we have already set off in batches this morning."
Lin's clean and crisp voice immediately rang out: "Lord, since the knights you canonized have also rushed to the manors in various regions to take charge of work, so my subordinates have arranged for knights with the same destination.
Parallel with the surrendering troops, not only were sufficient travel expenses paid, but all were equipped with carriages or fast horses."
"Lin, you did a great job."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "Only by allowing these surrendered troops to return home as quickly as possible can they be converted into our strength as quickly as possible."
Having said this, Lei Xiao then ordered: "Every place must do a good job in reception and welcome these surrendered soldiers according to the etiquette of triumph. They will become one of us in the future and fight for us, so they should receive sufficient respect."
"As you command! Lord!"
The uniform response from all the subordinates immediately came over.
"In addition, recruitment matters in various places must be accelerated."
Lei Xiao's solemn voice resounded through the entire hall: "Before the opponent approaches the city, in addition to the defense forces from various places, we must assemble ten new recruits with veterans as the backbone. I will equip all of them with high-quality second-class soldiers.
level equipment, in this way, we can truly have the capital to compete with the opponent."
At this time, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
At this stage, the troops he can use are undoubtedly extremely limited.
In addition to the three legions stationed in Wangxing City and the direct soldiers guarding the territory, there are only scattered troops scattered throughout the country.
They are two independent knights, the Blue Cold Fort garrison, our Mountain Fort Fortress levy force, Shanjing Principality soldiers, as well as the soldiers from Kongqing Town, Magnet Town and Mailan Town. All of these combined are worthy of the victory.
The size is close to 30,000 people.
"These forces are scattered in more than thirty cities. Before the new forces are formed, they are already irreconcilable."
"However, when all preparations are completed, apart from the backbone of the new recruits, I will at least be able to form another legion and a mobile team of the Moon Wolf clan with a size of 5,000 people."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and began to think about it in his mind.
"In addition, the two Goblin legions led by Hongshi have temporarily taken over the defense of Luolong City. In addition, the losses in the offensive and defensive battles in the territory are relatively serious. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not call them easily. After all, Luolong City
Dragon City is the throat leading to the outside world, and it must not be left without troops."
"Shuiyue City and Fenglong City have a total force of one legion. Since they are geographically closer to the opponent's sphere of influence and outside the protection of Wangxing City, they cannot be mobilized for the time being. Instead, they can be used as an ambush in the middle and late stages of the war.
"
"As for the troops directly under the territory, we cannot mobilize them either. The territory is my foundation, so it naturally needs to be heavily guarded. We must not be careless. However, the third-level squadron can be mobilized at any time."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and continued to think secretly in his heart.
"In this way, before the war comes, the troops I can mobilize will reach the existing 3 legions, 3 surrender legions, 10 recruit legions, 1 legion and 1 mobile team, a total of 16
The size of a legion and a mobile team is considered sufficient preparation."
"Although the 10 legions of recruits who were hastily formed without any training are almost negligible in terms of combat power, they will never be the opponent of the opponent. They may not even be able to win two against one or three against one. But with more strength
With excellent equipment and a strong reserve force in the rear, there is no problem in waving flags and shouting."
"Besides, if we can successfully form an alliance with the third princess, we will have five more elite legions. This is where the real killing move lies."
"In this case, even if I mobilize a few legions of new soldiers to defend the mountain fortress on the other side, I won't be without troops."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's tense expression finally relaxed a little.
Then, he described his thoughts to his subordinates.
During this process, Lei Xiao also asked senior generals such as Bert and Ju Bai to chair the meeting, and further implemented the details of the number of soldiers to be recruited, the preparation of food and fodder, etc., to the heads of each city.
And the commanders and assembly points of the 10 new legions and the three surrendered legions were selected respectively. Once the number of people is gathered, they can go to Wangxing City or stay on standby.
As for how to deal with the 300,000-strong army of the two princes in the future, and what strategies and tactics to adopt, we have to wait for the other party's further movements and intelligence.
"Okay, the above is all the matters related to dealing with the two princes' army this time. You must work closely and cooperate sincerely. This way we will be closer to the glory of victory."
Lei Xiao's voice was sonorous and powerful, and all the subordinates present were gearing up, looking full of morale.
Looking at the high-spirited subordinates around him, Lei Xiao first nodded with satisfaction, and then his eyebrows could not help but frown again.
Although the matter of dealing with the two princes has come to an end, the opponents that he needs to be wary of are not just the two princes.
"Lord, are you worried about the situation at the mountain fortress?"
Ariel, who had been following Lei Xiao closely, immediately noticed Lei Xiao's emotional changes and blurted out.
"That's right, although there has been no news from the Holy Night Kingdom, at this point in time, there has been no news, which is by no means a good sign."
Lei Xiao's eyebrows were already knitted together, and he responded sternly: "The secret agents deployed in the Kingdom of Holy Night from all over the country must be at least three times larger in size, and this matter must be implemented immediately."
"Everything depends on the orders of the lord!"
Hearing the solemnity in Lei Xiao's words, the subordinates standing respectfully around him all responded with solemn expressions on their faces.
The overall strength of the Holy Night Kingdom is completely comparable to that of the entire Leng Yan. However, it is already extremely difficult for us to deal with the princes who control most of the Leng Yan.
If at this time of life and death, the Holy Night Army stabs us in the back again, then the situation will really be over.
"Regarding the dynamics of the Holy Night Kingdom, we must closely monitor it, and then summarize the information to the secret agent base directly under the territory. There must be no negligence..."
Lei Xiao had just said this with his subordinates, and the rapid prompting of the words was already ringing in his ears.
Opening the reading interface, Lei Xiao discovered.
The person who requested the call was Shadow Squadron Commander Dean, who did not attend the meeting.
Not long ago, after taking all the eastern part of Leng Yan into his pocket, in order to prevent the Holy Night Army from making any changes, Lei Xiao immediately sent Dean to lead some capable members of the Shadow Squadron to secretly go to the Kingdom of Holy Night.
Dean, who was in the Holy Night Kingdom, sent a contact at this time, and the result was naturally self-evident.
"It seems that the thing I least wanted to see happened."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath of the cold air, brought Dean into the meeting, and turned on the speaker.
Dean's hurried and slightly nervous voice was heard, and it immediately resounded throughout the entire meeting hall: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have just received news that the Holy Night Kingdom's Moon Palace Saint herself, and her four subordinates,
The 250,000 Holy Night Army led by the Holy General is rapidly approaching the mountain fortress!"
Having said this, Dean added: "As for the opponent's goal, my subordinates have already found out clearly, that is, to seize the mountain fortress and then invade our territory in a large scale!"
As soon as Dean said this, the subordinates surrounding Lei Xiao suddenly became commotion.
Although everyone on the surface maintained great restraint and did not show a trace of panic, an uneasy atmosphere still quietly rippled in the air.
The strength of the Saint of the Moon Palace is at the level of five that is enough to control the country, and can even compete with Mr. Wu, and the strength of each of the Saints of the Moon Palace is completely comparable to the generals of the kingdom.
The most important thing is that there are still 25 legions of Holy Night Army.
Regardless of anything else, the legions directly under the Moon Palace led by each of the four Moon Palace Saint Generals are powerful enough to compete with any royal legion!
From this, judging from the overall strength alone, the 250,000 Holy Night Army is obviously more difficult to deal with than the 300,000-strong coalition of the two princes!
And we already have to use all our strength to deal with the coalition forces of the two princes. How can we still have room to deal with the stronger Holy Night army?
"...Is that really the case?"
Lei Xiao was silent for a while, and then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "How long does it take for the other party to arrive at the mountain fortress?"
"Back to Lord, the Holy Night Army is on the march. Although the assembly point is not in the border area, it will only take five days at most to reach the gate of the mountain fortress!"
Dean tried his best to control his nervousness and immediately responded: "And the opponent's vanguard is already less than three days away from the mountain fortress!"
"In other words, the combined forces of the two princes and the Holy Night's army, totaling 55 legions, will appear to our east and west almost at the same time?"
Lei Xiao clenched his fists and his brain began to work rapidly.
Before this, the reason why I was able to win twice with less in the Mountain Castle Fortress and the battle for the eastern part of Lengyan was because my opponent did not understand my true strength and was caught off guard.
But this time, whether it is the two princes' army or the Holy Night Army, the target is directly aimed at themselves.
This undoubtedly shows that the two have learned about their overall strength and have prepared corresponding countermeasures. Their attack must be a killer move.
Under this situation, with the current strength of our troops, if we divide our forces to resist these two armies, no matter which route we take, there will be absolutely no possibility of victory. Once a city is broken, everything will naturally be irreversible.
"In other words, my only way to deal with it at the moment is to find a way to delay the attack of one army first, and then fully respond to the other army. Only then will there be a glimmer of hope."
Lei Xiao's hands were already covered with sweat, and his brows were furrowed: "But no matter which opponent it is, how could it be possible for me to give me such an opportunity?"
Just when Lei Xiao was in a dilemma, thinking hard, a slender figure was already standing in front of him.
