Although Chang'an is surrounded by millions of legions, and there are battles on the city walls every day, the atmosphere in Chang'an City is tense but not solemn.
Construction is still going on at various construction sites, and factories have not stopped production.
Even schools.
In order not to cause panic, classes were even conducted as usual.
As if to say, the ongoing siege is just a military exercise, no big deal.
There is really no need to panic.
There are more than 200,000 troops stationed in Chang'an City, and more than 200 million kilograms of grain are stored in Neicang City, which is enough for the soldiers and civilians in the city to eat for more than a hundred days.
What's there to be afraid of?
The sporadic siege operations of the coalition forces seemed to confirm the strength of the Chang'an army from the side.
For this reason, in the week before the war started, Tang Jing, as a lord, rarely even visited the front line in person, and safely handed over the command of the army to the four generals Yue Fei, Guo Ziyi, Chang Yuchun and Xue Rengui.
He then joined forces with Director of Military Affairs Qin Shuang to form a wartime headquarters.
"An auction? Interesting."
Because Chang'an City is in a state of war, all external communications have been cut off.
It is rare to receive system announcements.
Tang Jing naturally noticed it immediately and was quite interested.
In terms of financial strength, no one in the world can compare with him.
Just after earning 300,000 from the mermaid Daisy, Tia sent another 100,000 gold coins as a thank you gift, and her personal funds alone were as high as 400,000 gold coins.
If necessary, Tang Jing can also temporarily borrow millions of gold coins from Chang'an Bank.
Who can compare to this?
In contrast, in Zunlong Kingdom, although the mainstream territories are about to enter the township stage, the fundraising capabilities of top leaders such as Xiao Zhan and Bai Mudan have been greatly weakened.
Because most of their fans stop at the village or even the shelter stage.
There are very few who can persist until now.
The fan base is small, and even those who survive are all smart and rational, and will not give up their gold coins for free just to chase stars.
Will the fundraising ability be weakened?
Not only in terms of fundraising capabilities, but also in terms of talent recruitment, the top territory does not have any advantage.
A true talent.
How could he like such an illiterate lord?
Top-notch fans are very happy to settle in the idol territory, but the problem is, they are called fans, and their brains are more or less defective, so what kind of talents are they?
In a sense, the countdown to the top-notch carnival has actually begun.
Subsequent falls are perfectly normal.
The global auction is divided into three levels, namely ordinary auction, boutique auction and high-end auction. The registration thresholds are 1,000 gold coins, 10,000 gold coins and 100,000 gold coins respectively.
Each lord can only sign up for one of the ranks, and once selected, it cannot be changed.
It's quite fair.
The capital threshold of one thousand gold coins for ordinary games actually excludes more than 90% of the lords.
Not everyone can participate in the global auction.
But it also gives waist lords a chance to participate in the auction.
If not divided into categories.
A big devil like Tang Jing might kill everyone at the auction.
It might even become his own show.
With the classification of grades, Tang Jing could only choose to sign up for the high-end auction to compete with the top dozen lords in the world for the rarest props in this auction.
As soon as he signed up, the list of high-end venues was also updated in real time.
"..."
Mu Xi and other big lords who were interested in participating in the high-end event were still trying to negotiate for "tickets". Seeing Tang Jing sign up so quickly, they couldn't help but feel sluggish.
Start seriously considering whether you really want to participate in high-end events?
Don't forget to become Tang Jing's foil, and miss the high-quality show because of it.
That would be a big loss.
Of course, there are those who are determined and still determined to participate in high-end auctions. "No matter how rich Tang Jing is, can he still take pictures of all the auctions? As long as he misses one item, it is better than any high-end auction."
………
Pelican County, coalition temporary base camp.
"Tang Jing signed up for the high-end global auction. Is there any response from the alliance?" Unexpectedly, Grant was also very concerned about the global auction, and even called his consultant Mike to the office.
"Coping, what response?"
Mike looked confused, unable to understand that the auction was a grand event attended by the lords.
What does it have to do with the coalition forces?
"Short-sighted!"
Grant, however, looked solemn, "Imagine if there were some rare props in the high-end market, and they were the kind that could directly change the situation of the war, such as group resurrection cards."
"Shouldn't the alliance do something?"
"Remember!"
"This global auction is also a continuation of the war and another battlefield to compete with Chang'an."
Grant said it categorically.
"General, what do you mean, let the alliance also sign up for high-end games, and then snipe Tang Jing?" Mike finally figured out what Grant was going to do.
"Shouldn't it be?"
Grant took it as a matter of course, "The alliance should raise a sum of public funds and send a lord as a representative, such as Gale from Xihai Town, to attack Tang Jing."
"At the worst, we still need to find out what Tang Jing bought at the auction."
"Don't wait till then-"
"When we were attacking the city, Chang'an suddenly pulled out a secret weapon. Wouldn't that be a surprise?"
"That makes sense."
Mike thought about it and said, "I will communicate this situation with the alliance."
"Be sure to make it clear to the alliance. This matter is very important and even affects the success or failure of the war. Don't be stingy with funds and prepare more in advance. There is always no harm."
"I heard that Chang'an has extremely strong financial strength." Grant warned.
"clear!"
In fact, Mike has always been very reliable in his work. He immediately asked for instructions: "General, in the past few days, the frontline army's siege of the city has been frustrated. Should we continue, or should we rest first and wait for the subsequent siege equipment to arrive?"
"Of course continue!"
Grant looked confused, "It is true that our attack was frustrated, but isn't Chang'an under pressure? At the very least, it would have consumed a large amount of Chang'an's defensive materials, right?"
"What's the reason to stop?"
"When we stop, doesn't it give the Chang'an garrison a chance to rest and recuperate?"
Mike hesitated and said: "But the coalition's casualties exceed 10,000 every day. I'm worried..."
"What's there to worry about?"
Grant shook his head, "Although it is difficult to attack the city, we have an absolute military advantage. Once the war starts, we cannot stop. Instead, we must launch a continuous offensive to make the best use of our advantages."
In Grant's eyes, one million coalition troops were nothing more than a bunch of data.
No mercy.
Anyway, how many soldiers were killed on the front line, how many soldiers the alliance had to replenish.
"clear."
Mike became increasingly suspicious.
Before the war began, Grant was hesitant, but after the war began, he became desperate.
It's actually a bit abnormal.
He was also a little confused as to what kind of medicine was sold in Grant's Calabash.
………
March 26, sunny.
Although there was an episode of the global auction, it did not affect the coalition forces' continued attack on Chang'an City.
The coalition forces are actually in a difficult situation right now.
Fight!
If you can't defeat them, you will only lose soldiers in vain.
Don’t fight!
Millions of troops gathered in a mighty and mighty manner. Could it be that they came to Chang'an to watch a show?
There is no way to explain it to the alliance!
Therefore, Grant's strategy was to continue to attack the city, and to attack the city non-stop every day, in an attempt to use the human sea tactic to consume Chang'an City's defensive supplies.
For example, falling rocks, rolling logs, especially arrows.
At the same time.
Grant even sent orders to various army commanders to strategically attack the city and let the siege troops take turns in the battle, in an attempt to use brutal siege warfare to train the millions of coalition troops and eliminate the best.
Very cruel!
If we can train an elite army through this battle, then Grant will be well off.
Little did I know.
Chang'an also has similar ideas.
The reason why Tang Jing assigned the 100,000 City Guards Corps to defend the city was not only to let the Longxiang Corps and Tiance Corps act as the main force for subsequent counterattacks, but also to train the City Guards Corps.
Let the new recruits of the City Guard Corps quickly grow into veterans.
after all.
Defending a city is already the battlefield with the lowest intensity of war and the lowest cost of military training.
As a result, the offensive and defensive sides seemed to have reached a strange tacit understanding. Every day at the top of Chang'an City, the battle was fierce, and it entered a cruel war of attrition.
It just depends on who will break this balance in the end.
………
March 30, cloudy.
In the evening, just before the global auction was about to be held, Mia and Bag, with the help of Fei Lian, took advantage of the darkness to fly over the coalition camp and successfully entered Chang'an City.
Tang Jing met with the two people overnight.
"Thank you, sir!"
As soon as they came up, Mia and Bagg expressed their thanks, "With the assistance of the Shenwu Brigade, we have successfully eliminated the demonic tide raging in the Zhaoxia Mountain area."
As for the Xiongwu Brigade.
He was hired by several other tribes and was still fighting against the demonic tide in the Beiluo Mountains.
"It's okay!"
The expedition of the Xiongwu Brigade was also a disguised display of Chang'an's military force to the elves and dwarves in the Beiluo Mountains.
otherwise.
Nor would they simply reject reinforcements from the coalition.
Mia and Bagg returned to Chang'an City under the cover of night. In addition to reporting on the situation in Zhaoxia Mountain, they also brought gifts of gratitude from their respective tribes for helping Chang'an, each offering 100,000 gold coins.
also.
There is also the commission from the Xiongwu Brigade - a full two hundred thousand gold coins.
In addition, there are more than 4,000 level 2 crystal cores, more than 1,000 level 3 crystal cores and ten level 4 crystal cores that the Shenwu Brigade should have received after helping to eliminate the monsters in Zhaoxia Mountain.
It also reflected from the side how difficult the battle at Chaoxia Mountain was.
In addition to the crystal core, there is also a card.
[Market exemption card: After using it, you can lift the restriction that "market transactions cannot be used during the war" within a week, but it is limited to the transaction of non-war supplies]
Take the crystal core.
The system prompt sounded in Tang Jing's mind: "Congratulations, the cumulative number of level 2 crystal nuclei seized exceeds 5,000, and you have been awarded the title of 'Intermediate Crystal Core Reaper', which can synthesize level 2 crystal nuclei into level 3 crystal nuclei."
Coming!
He finally had the new achievement he had been waiting for.
In this way, Tang Jing can purchase level 1 and level 2 crystal cores again in the global market, use the advantages of synthesis, and another wave of "middlemen to make the difference" to harvest global leeks.
Even better.
Due to the existence of the "Market Exemption Card", Tang Jing does not even have to wait until the end of the war and can initiate crystal core acquisitions in the global market now.
To avoid delaying it until the end of the war, the level 3 crystal cores have also depreciated significantly.
