"But the most important thing is that the reason why Luo Lin City is called this is because the new Dragon Emperor once led troops to attack Luo Lin City, but they almost fell at the Shenlong Port of Luo Lin City! That's right, Luo Lin City
It wasn’t called this name at the beginning, but it really had a port named Shenlong.”
Meng Fugui said with a smile: "It is said that the new Dragon Emperor deliberately chose Shenlong Port as the main attack point. He wanted to test whether he was the true dragon emperor. But if the new Dragon Emperor's breast shield hadn't blocked an arrow,
I'm afraid the name New Dragon Emperor no longer exists, and that breast shield is where the name of Fallen Scale City comes from; however, Shenlong Port is the largest port in Fallen Scale City, and the terrain is relatively flat, so it's quite suitable.
As the main direction of attack, the new Dragon Emperor should not risk his life just for a name."
"I see, but the new Dragon Emperor was quite confident back then. He actually dared to attack such a city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. After all, whether in ancient times or modern times, it was very difficult to fight across rivers and land on islands unless we attacked.
The other side can achieve overwhelming strength, while the defender only needs to hold on to a few key locations to continuously consume the enemy's troops. It will not be a problem to defend for several years, because there will be no shortage of water or food in the city. After all, it is right next to it.
A big river with inexhaustible fresh water, fish and shrimps.”
Liu Xing drank water and asked curiously: "So how did the new Dragon Emperor capture Luolin City back then? Logically speaking, as long as Luolin City was determined to hold on to the end, I'm afraid the new Dragon Emperor would have to wait until he captured other places.
After that, we can persuade Luolin City to attack Luolin City, otherwise we will have to use five times more troops to attack Luolin City regardless of the cost."
"The inside should be in harmony with the outside."
Meng Fugui said seriously: "Alliance leaders, you must have read "Water Margin", right? Most of this masterpiece is excellent, but one thing that has always been criticized is that the battle of wits on the battlefield is too common and repetitive, such as
Wu Yong, a smart star, often made clever plans when fighting small battles. As a result, once he arrived on the battlefield, he could only use one move to combine inside and outside. He would first find a way to send a few heroes into the enemy's territory, and then agree on a time for these heroes to do it in the city.
If something happens, the army outside will take the opportunity to attack; of course, in a real battlefield, the strategy of combining inside and outside is actually the most effective. If I were to be a strategist, I would also like to use this strategy, and the new Dragon Emperor thinks so too.
, so he arranged for a team of martial arts masters to pretend to be the escorts of the caravan, and then prepared a lot of gunpowder on the merchant ship."
"The next story is very simple. After the martial arts masters arranged the gunpowder properly, they asked the new Dragon Emperor to lead his troops to attack. After the main force of Luo Lin City arrived at the defensive position, they lit the gunpowder directly.
, completely cutting off the enemy's retreat, and also captured some valuable hostages, and finally succeeded in forcing Luo Lin City to surrender; but one thing to say, the new Dragon Emperor is still very brave, and he almost almost
After falling in Luolin City, he let everyone go regardless of the past grudges, and also allowed them to inherit the position of city lord of Luolin City. Of course, Luolin City will only obey the new Dragon Emperor from now on."
At this point, Meng Fugui's expression suddenly became confused, "To put it bluntly, the city owner of Luolin City is the president of the Chamber of Commerce of Luolin City, and is also the nominal owner of all ports. Of course, these ports actually belong to
Different business houses can also be said to be different families, but these families have been marrying each other in the past few decades, so it has long been that you have me, and I have you; therefore, in a sense,
It is said that if the Luolin City who is loyal to the new Dragon Emperor is willing, let alone those mysterious organizations, even the ordinary three religions and nine streams cannot gain a foothold in Luolin City. After all, in Luolin City except those from the trading houses,
Apart from this, there is no other permanent population.”
Liu Xing nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, Luolin City is, to put it bluntly, a large port and transfer station, so apart from those trading houses, no one will live in Luolin City permanently, and if they lived there permanently, it would be very attractive.
Attention, just like a day student in a school suddenly wants to live on campus, it will definitely attract the attention of those students who live on campus. After all, if there is an extra person in the dormitory suddenly, anyone with a discerning eye will notice it... So what you mean, Shopkeeper Meng, Luo?
The reason why Scale City allows those mysterious organizations to operate in the city may be because it has the support of the new Dragon Emperor? Or is it because it wants to take a long-term view and catch big fish?"
"That's right, although Luo Lin City seems to be a place where dirt and evil can easily hide, in fact, as long as you clean it frequently, it can still be kept clean. So I also suspect that Luo Lin City wants to rely on
Taking advantage of our geographical advantages, we will implement a real fishing law enforcement." Meng Fugui nodded and said.
"That's interesting, so the question is, is this Luolin City under the rule of that prince?" Liu Xing asked.
"Luo Lin City is still under the rule of the third prince, but it can be regarded as the most peripheral city. Therefore, Far West City, which is closest to Luo Lin City, is probably hundreds of kilometers away. Therefore, if Luo Lin City is attacked
, Nine times out of ten, there will be no support. After all, Far West City does not have many troops, and it is impossible to spare manpower to support Luo Lin City."
As Meng Fugui spoke, he poured some tea on the table, then dipped his fingers in the water and started drawing on the table, "This is Luolin City. Thirty miles to the west there is a Dengcheng belonging to the Sixth Prince. This city
The area is not large, but there are many soldiers stationed there, because Dengcheng was originally a fortress, and later the new Dragon Emperor expanded the fortress into Dengcheng in order to train new soldiers; so after the sixth prince was assigned to the territory,
Reactivating Dengcheng as a training center for new recruits under his rule, that is, after all the cities under his rule recruit new soldiers, they will be sent to Dengcheng for training."
"Of course, the Sixth Prince also has Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it! Moreover, the Sixth Prince did not hide it, and directly arranged his elite soldiers to serve as instructors in Dengcheng, or to take over the positions of police officers, city gate guards, etc.
So if necessary, an army of nearly 10,000 people can be mobilized immediately upon entering the city! Coupled with the so-called training equipment in the city, this army of 10,000 people can be dispatched directly within a few days, and the surrounding soldiers can also be directly dispatched.
Set off to Dengcheng to collect weapons and equipment, so there is no need to worry about the backup of this tens of thousands of people."
"Well, this is a bit difficult to handle."
Liu Xing put his hands on his hips and said: "A well-trained army of ten thousand people is no joke, and if there are some martial arts masters mixed in, then if an ordinary city is not prepared, it may not last long before it will be destroyed.
, after all, I remember that the combined military strength of Far West City and Boyang City may not exceed five figures, and a considerable part of the military strength is scattered in various counties and towns, so it can only depend on whether the local sects can provide sufficient strength.
"
"That's right, so many people think that if the Sixth Prince has a chance, he should use Climbing City as the main troop dispatching point to attack the Third Prince, because Far West City and Luolin City, which are closest to Climbing City, don't have much troops, and the other few nearby
The city is only small, so it is difficult to mobilize reinforcements to support Far West City or Luo Lin City. After all, they have too much to take care of themselves; and Luo Lin City and Far West City both have a large amount of supplies stored in the city, which can fully support them.
That ten-thousand-strong army has been able to support war with war, and it has also occupied important road nodes. After that, whether it is turning around to eat the nearby cities, or marching straight in to attack Liang City."
As Meng Fugui spoke, he pointed out the approximate locations of several cities near Far West City, "These cities have no characteristics, and the number of troops stationed there is only about two to three thousand. If you want to hold on to the city, you can
With two to three thousand more people, plus the local sect disciples, we can defend for a few months as long as there is no big accident; but we have already discussed the possibility of choosing to defend these cities before.
It’s not high. After all, there is no difference between the third prince and the sixth prince to them, so it is beneficial to everyone to choose to let go at the right time. Therefore, I think these cities can defend the first grade of junior high school, but not the fifteenth grade."
At this time, Miao Yi said: "Yes, I think the third prince did not expect these cities to be able to defend for too long, so even though he knew that the sixth prince was most likely to send troops from Dengcheng, he did not send more troops to these cities.
, so I suspect that the third prince is ready to abandon these cities!"
"Miao Yi, you are right. The third prince has indeed not sent more troops to these cities, and his elite soldiers have been stationed in Liangcheng and the nearby Hehua City. Therefore, many people think that the third prince is prepared to defend to the death.
out."
Meng Fugui thought for a while, nodded and said: "Although this is a bit cowardly, I think it is understandable and even the best choice! Because again, unless they are the direct descendants of the third prince, those prefects and city lords
He would not be determined to hold on and refuse to surrender, and the sixth prince who captured these cities would not be able to completely control these cities in a short period of time. After all, he would not be able to do something ruthlessly unless he was prepared to let the remaining
The cities under our control are all determined to defend to the end! So we can directly conclude that most of the cities in the New Dragon Empire are just wallflowers. As long as you can make the limelight bigger, then these wallflowers will obediently obey your orders."
"So it is actually very easy to fight for these cities. It would not be too much to say that we are willing to surrender. Therefore, there is no problem for the third prince to give up defending these cities. After all, he only has so many elite soldiers. If they are all dispersed, I am afraid it will be a little bit.
There is no way to stir up waves, so it is better to concentrate our forces to defend a few key cities and wait for the situation to change; I believe that both the third prince and other princes should know that after the tide begins to rise, it is impossible for them to be alone.
Unless he is willing to withdraw from this bet, if the sixth prince sends heavy troops to attack the third prince, then his defense will have problems."
Liu Xing nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, unless the sixth prince can defeat the third prince quickly, the cities he occupied in the early stage will be returned bit by bit, and this return will make him lose more than he gains.
!I heard Yu Lei say that the third prince has been training his own soldiers in Lotus City recently, so I suspect that the third prince is likely to choose a few cities to defend. If nothing else, Far West City is one of them.
Because the current governor of Far West City is the third prince’s teacher and can be regarded as the third prince’s confidant; and it is impossible for the third prince to abandon all the surrounding cities and shrink his troops near Liangcheng, because although doing so can make his defense line
It becomes unbreakable, but it will be a little powerless when it comes to counterattack, so it can only advance slowly."
"So the third prince should let certain cities serve as fulcrums. This will not only contain more enemy forces, but also allow him to come to a center to bloom at the right time and quickly regain the lost ground. At the same time, he can also make dumplings for the enemy.
, this way we can quickly turn defeat into victory; I think the reason why the Third Prince supports our alliance may also be because our alliance is located close to Far West City, so the Third Prince can send various materials to Sweetwater Town in the name of rewarding us.
, and even arrange for a group of soldiers to be stationed near Tianshui Town, so that when the time is right, the third prince can order us to support Far West City."
At this point, Liu Xing scratched the back of his head in distress, "If things really develop according to our ideas, then the Sixth Prince may send troops to surround Far West City, and our Tianshui Town is not far from Far West City, so it's very possible
It may become the sixth prince's new target, especially when he learns about our relationship with the third prince, so we are under considerable pressure."
As soon as Liu Xing said this, everyone present fell into silence, because this is not good news, because now the players and NPCs in Tianshui Town can be described in one word, that is, they are a mob!
Therefore, Liu Xing could imagine that when Tianshui Town faced the siege of the Six Princes' army, it would be considered a success as long as it did not collapse at the first touch.
"Then it all depends on how much reward and help the Third Prince is willing to give us. If it doesn't work, we can just shoot a few arrows and run into the woods. This will be considered worthy of the Third Prince."
Miao Yi shrugged and said: "If the third prince is willing to send troops to assist us, then we can try to defend for a while, but the time now may not be enough."
At this moment, Cai Long came back with pigeon feed and a pigeon, so Miao Yi fed the lost pigeon while applying the purple water drops on its body to his own pigeons.
Then, the new pigeon became a little anxious, pacing back and forth on the table in circles.
