Section 70: Military Conferences that Must Be Attended
Wangjing held an emergency military meeting overnight. The rotunda was filled with high-ranking people. Except for a few absentees in the front, the big shots were all here. However, no one sat in the main seat in the middle, not even Yafei and Jin Yu.
Sitting on the side obediently, they are all waiting for one person, Duke Jiefu of Xiya, the Saint of Mid-Levels.
After a while, accompanied by several guards, an old man with a long beard walked into the hall. Jin Yu and others stood up and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Yuanze, you are well." It was Mr. Jiefu who spoke.
Jin Yu cupped his hands and returned the greeting: "I'm ashamed, I'm only blaming my Southern Province for such a thing. You're so busy, yet I bother you to make the trip from West Asia."
Everyone took their seats. The situation was urgent, so Hanchan could avoid being polite. After greeting Mr. Jiefu, Yafei and others, they sat down one by one. The meeting began. The staff officer pointed to the holographic map on the table and began to introduce the current situation.
After Hongye's defeat, Ruan Zhiqing's army marched eastward, Satie Town fell, and the guard Wangdian died in the battle. Following the orcs' sneak attack on Qiaobao Town on both banks of the Wuzhu River, Ruan Zhiqing broke the river fortress without much effort.
Using the same strategy, in less than two weeks, the offensive and defensive positions changed. Without the Wuzhu River natural moat, the Xinnan army was overwhelming. It was divided into three groups and went up to surround the Holy Light Fortress. The troops were sent to Yichun Zhang Daxi. The middle path crossed the shell.
At the Lat Pass, local orcs and other alien races occupied Irurita and Elizondo. Scouts reported that a small group of New South troops had appeared at the Maya Pass.
Along the bottom road, Reims was occupied, Pamplona announced that it would become a neutral city, and Xinnan's army was hoarded around the City of Pan. As a result, the fortress Solan on the edge of the City of Pan became a decoration. Suweita,
Lin Zuo and Bisleka defected to the New South one after another. As a result, Longgu Town could not be saved. The entire Roncesvalis mountainous area was exposed to the New South Army, and even Tianyao Island was in danger.
The situation became so out of control that no one expected that Ruan Zhiqing was really ruthless. Just when everyone thought that the rainy season was coming and the war would have to wait until next year, he had already cut ten people in two weeks.
Most of the town has external defenses. If Matang River also falls, then Emerald Town will really become a front line again. The north of the Republic is in turmoil, and the Southern Province cannot have any trouble, because there are not many reinforcements. The Southern Province can only rely on
Save yourself.
Duke Jiefu looked at the holographic map, and the polite smile on his face completely disappeared. The battle situation was much more difficult than he thought. The first thing he asked was the Electric Knight, "Ya Fei, can you please go out once and cut the bridge?"
The barrier tree in Fort Town should at least stabilize the situation on the upper and middle roads."
Yafei shook his head, "Mid-mountain Saint, I have to do it. Just now, our intelligence department received very precise information. The Gipros Empire airdropped the Three Cavalry Company, which is currently in Bordeaux and New South. What's behind this incident?"
There must be some shadow of Gipros. If I move out, it will give them a reason to move out. Three against two, even if the old count's Ultra can still be used, there is no chance of winning. If I don't move, the other party will still have scruples. If I move, it will be worse.
It’s extremely detrimental to us.”
What Yafei said makes sense. The Electric Knights are interdimensional weapons. Anyone who is not an Electric Knight will have the only fate of being wiped out if they see them. Moreover, the Electric Knights can cause damage to the barrier tree and cannot move. Yafei can only
exists as a deterrent.
I just mentioned Earl Edward. In this critical moment, Jiefu couldn't help but think of the young Edward. What if, alas, "The old earl didn't come? Is there something wrong with his health?"
General Picton, who came to the meeting on behalf of the old earl, replied: "Master Banshan, my master has gone to Deguang Fortress to supervise the battle. I have ten towns to protect Deguang."
"Okay." This was the first exciting good news he heard today. Jiefu praised it and started looking at the map again. The ten impregnable towns were actually divided into three parts. The red leaves were the first lock. Now
It has become the enemy's base camp for attacking. The Holy Light Fortress is a bit awkward. Although the city defense is strong and built on a cliff, the location is too far away. It is no problem to defend facing the sea, but the opponent only needs to build a few lines in front of the fortress.
The isolation network and the Holy Light Fortress are just a dispensable lonely city. Unless there are a large number of mobile troops to cooperate with others, it will be useless, and the guard Fuwa only has 500 people in his hands. As for Zhang Daxi in Yichun,
Just don’t mention it.
The most troublesome thing is not here. Now that Xinnan can freely enter and leave the highway from Qiaobao Town to Yichun, there are more than a dozen passages down through the Maya Mountain Pass. The other party can use Elizondo as a base from Ronces.
The valley between Wallis and Maya Mountains crosses across, bypasses the Uzhu River, and directly threatens the prosperous Soume Three Towns behind Emerald Town. The situation is still not optimistic, and there is no place to defend on the lower road.
Alas, Jiefu talked for a while and said to himself: "This place is a natural loophole. It would be great if there was a stronghold at the mouth of the valley."
The staff officer said softly: "Mr. Banshan, there is a new town here called Hongye."
"Oh, Mr. Yuanze has the foresight to actually build a stronghold here early. Yes, this way we won't be too passive. I don't know who the guard is."
Jin Yu was a little embarrassed by his praise, but the staff officer below whispered: "Sir, this new town is not a military fortress, it is a residential development town. There is no regular army stationed by us, but there are runes leading to Harbor City.
train."
Jiefu, who had been a little disappointed a moment ago, immediately became excited. There was even a rune train. It must have been a businessman who got lucky and got this place.
"What is the name of this town and who is its lord?"
The staff officer answered truthfully: "The lord's name is Liu Yuexi, and the town's name is Hongyun."
"That's a good name. Where are the others?"
The officers who came down to the meeting were all sighing. Liu Yuexi had recently become very famous for not attending all military meetings because of his injury. Many people thought that he was afraid of death and did not want to get involved in the war. With such a good talent, in fact,
On the other hand, he was a coward who only fought in private, thus wasting such good talents, opportunities, and the territory he owned.
All the ministries in Wangjing are now empty of troops, and the Yan family still has 40,000 decent private troops. As for the regular main force of Xinnan, they have disappeared together with Ruerdang. Jiefu watched and sat behind without saying a word.
Bai Jun, who was sick and only half alive, couldn't help but sigh, and swallowed the words he wanted to reprimand. Two of his own sons died in the battle, and the main force of the New South Army was lost. This veteran no longer needed him.
Take action.
No matter how difficult the situation is, you still have to deal with it. The worst is to freeze half dead, "Is that Master Liu in Wangjing?"
"Yes, he has been in Wangjing."
"That's good. Invite people here. When the Republic is in danger, each of us should think about what we can do. Lord Liu is pretty good. It would be nice to have a rune train. Send an engineering unit there and get ahead of it.
Ruan Zhiqing built a fortress for me in Hongyun before he came out. Isn't he injured? As long as he is not dead, go and carry it to me. The Republic now needs individuals to make sacrifices. Since his Hongyun Town is unarmed, then
I'm going to take over the military temporarily." Obviously, through the introduction just now, Jiefu didn't have the slightest fondness for Lord Liu Yuexi.
At the table, everyone was making their own calculations. Some were ready to watch Liu Yuexi make a fool of herself, some were indifferent, and some were worried about him. Situ Ming, who came to the meeting, was sweating for Liu Yuexi.
My dear nephew, you must not act foolishly in front of the saint in the middle of the mountain. You must bow your head when you should bow your head. If you really want something to come, it will come to you. Before you can lift it, this living treasure actually comes by itself and makes a loud noise at the door.
Yell.
"Let me in, let me in. Why don't you let me in for such an important military meeting? It has delayed the defense of the Ten Towns Corridor. Can you bear the responsibility?"
The military situation was extremely urgent. Even though Mr. Jiefu was well-behaved, but when he encountered such an ignorant tough guy, he couldn't hold back. "Who is making a noise outside? Don't you know that we are discussing important military situation? You go,
Stop him and deal with him according to military law."
The young staff officer walked over and took a look, and was dumbfounded. He turned back and said, "Sir, the person coming is none other than Lord Liu Yuexi."
