After stabilizing the Walled City Alliance's envoy, Sean turned around and entered the bustling war command room.
The response of the Yongye Group Army was quite rapid. When the Kentana barbarians in the mountainous area defeated seven or eight villages in a row, their mobile corps came forward and were building fortifications.
The military staff of the Yongye Army had analyzed the situation that Brann could analyze as soon as possible.
In terms of understanding of the Kentana barbarians in the mountains, the Evernight Army is not bad, because they have a skull-crushing army with Kentana barbarian blood within them.
However, most of the soldiers in this legion, like McGee, are of mixed race. Many people don’t know how many generations of mixed blood there are. There are only a handful of people like Skullcrusher McGee who are half Kentana barbarians.
.
Many people are just stronger than ordinary people and don't even have the racial talents of Kentana barbarians.
Even so, they are still the trump card of the Yongye Group Army.
In a head-on confrontation, even with three times the number of troops, other regiments cannot stop its frontal penetration, and the losses caused to it are minimal.
Of course, the equipment tailor-made for them by the Yongye Group Army played an important role.
But it also reflects the toughness of this race in disguise. The ones who are now in the flock are the orthodox mountain Kentana barbarians, and there are nearly ten thousand people. I am afraid that they are all the elite of the Eastern Mountain Kentana barbarian tribe.
.
In all the deductions conducted by the Military Staff of the Yongye Army, if the Yongye Army did not intervene, the chance of the Walled City Alliance being able to withstand the Kentana barbarians in the mountains was extremely slim. The only uncertainty was the matter of time.
Ban Hebrew's performance has exceeded expectations. In the case of large-scale collapse, while stabilizing the situation in Sishui City, he organized manpower for the final counterattack.
Although in the eyes of the Yongye Group Army, this was more like a desperate struggle, it won a lot of respect.
At least Ben Hebrews was a qualified lord in this regard and did not abandon his people at the critical moment.
After Sean opened the door and came in, everyone couldn't help but look at him.
Sean took a long breath and said: "As expected, the other party is here to negotiate for peace and rescue, and the conditions offered are very low. If something happens, the Walled City Alliance will accept our intention to adapt it."
"Very good!"
"Haha, I knew these turtles couldn't handle it. If it had been like this, why would there be so many things?"
"Even if they don't accept the adaptation, they won't be able to bear it when we fight. Moreover, after successive disasters, it's still unknown whether they can survive this winter!"
A burst of excited shouts came from the war command room.
The current situation has changed dramatically from a year ago.
At the beginning, the Yongye Group Army was unwilling to accept the surrender of the Walled City Alliance for many reasons.
The first is to plot the territory of the Sandong Alliance. If you want to turn it into the core of the Evernight Army, you must clear out the original forces. Ban Hebrew's deliberate propaganda caused certain misunderstandings.
Second, the generals of the city lords of the Walled City Alliance really have no credibility at all. They surrendered and rebelled. They are used to being weaklings and cannot give them much trust. They were not forced into a desperate situation at that time and would not easily accept the Yongye Group Army.
new policy.
The third point, and the most important point, was that the Yongye Army was still too weak at that time. Eating too much would easily lead to indigestion, and it would also easily affect one's own purity, and the gain would outweigh the loss.
Now it's different. One thing is ebbing away from the other. Not only the Yongye Army has become stronger, but the Walled City Alliance is also constantly weakening. First, it fell into the Yongye Army's scheme and lost some of its elites. This time it was defeated again.
Gergild was beaten hard.
The story about the bloodbath of the secret gathering by the Kentana barbarians in the mountains has long been spread. This is the first wave of impact on the Walled City Alliance.
But for the Yongye Group Army, this is a good thing. In the future, incorporating the Walled City Alliance will reduce countless obstacles, and there will be no need to bear the name of killing.
"Don't be too happy too early. The premise is that the intruders can be blocked. If there is no way to resist them, everything is empty talk." Sean couldn't help but pour cold water on him.
"Don't worry, General. Just because the Walled City Alliance can't stop it doesn't mean we can't stop it. I've studied it carefully and found that they are not completely without weaknesses." Kelman, the newly promoted young military staff officer, said.
"What's the weakness? Tell me." Sean showed an interested expression, and others also looked at him.
Compared with the nervousness of being watched at the enlarged officer meeting, Kelman is now considered to have weathered the storm, and said calmly: "Equipment, equipment is their biggest weakness, their armor wearing rate is almost zero.
Most of them are leather armors, and even if they are made of Kore beast skins, their defense is relatively limited. They can barely protect against longbow projectiles, but they absolutely cannot protect against crossbows."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the Andis Mountains are rich in products, they do not include iron resources. Even the Yongye Group Army, which has foreign trade channels, has a low rate of wearing iron armor, and Tang's studded armor is still the main equipment.
Not to mention the mountain Kentana barbarians whose living environment is even harsher. It is said that among the invaders, many of them initially wielded weapons that were either a dragon femur or a strong wooden stick on top.
It was very luxurious to add a few nails to turn it into a mace. For an iron tool among the trophies of the walled city, one of our own people almost lost his brains.
Let alone siege equipment, even bows and arrows are basically useless.
It's not just a matter of stupidity, but also because the bodies of the mountain Kentana barbarians are strong enough to replace many tools, so they naturally don't spend too much brains on machinery.
"The Kentana barbarians are world-famous for their invincibility in foot combat. Confronting them head-on is the stupidest way. We should make full use of our own strengths to lure them into an offensive and defensive battle and eliminate their vitality in the attack."
"There is nothing wrong with the idea, but you have overlooked one issue, and that is Sishui City. The opponent will not cross Sishui City without attacking. They will attack us first. If Sishui City is defeated by them, hundreds of thousands of rioters will come over.
How will you deal with it then? Or are you ready to directly take over the defense of Sishui City and carry out defense?" Ericson, chief chief of staff of the Military Staff Department, pointed at Sishui City on the military sandbox and emphasized.
The First Corps and the Second Corps of the Yongye Group Army's First Corps were at an angle to Sishui City from the southwest and northwest respectively.
The mountain Kentana barbarians came ashore in boats from the east and fought their way from the northeast along the shores of the Andis inland lake.
Now Sishui City has become the center of the three parties.
In Ben Hebrew's view, the Walled City Alliance is a natural barrier for the Evernight Army, and both sides should join forces to defeat the more powerful enemy, the Kentana barbarians.
As everyone knows, in the eyes of the Yongye Group Army, the biggest threat is not the seemingly powerful mountain Kentana barbarians, but the hundreds of thousands of Andis people gathered in the Four Waters Village.
"Sishui City cannot be defended." Kelman shook his head and said without hesitation, "Let's not talk about the geographical environment of Sishui City. Let's just talk about the current complicated situation. Once our troops pass through, they will plunge into a mud swamp.
We can't exert even 10% of our strength. If we want to defend, it must be built by us personally. It belongs to our own fortress. I prefer to defend here."
Kelman pointed to a point less than 20 kilometers away from Sishui City.
"Here? The geographical location here is indeed good, but the problem is that this is a piece of white land? Are you planning to build a fortress here now? We don't have that much time. Those barbarians can take as little as a week or as little as two weeks.
Can kill to the bottom of Sishui City."
Erikson's brows furrowed into a knot. If Kelman hadn't personally evaluated Kelman when he first entered the Military Staff Department, and he was well aware of the opponent's level, he would have doubted whether the opponent was making noises to please him.
What limits the advancing speed of the Kentana barbarians in the mountains now is not the resistance of the Andis people, but themselves.
Once they enter a state of war, the mountain Kentana barbarians are easily excited. When they are red-blooded, they have no formation at all. In other words, they have no formation from the beginning. The leader of the team shouts every time.
With a sound, they rushed towards the target in a chaotic manner, fighting each other, using their own powerful force to crush their enemies.
Afterwards, they needed to spend a lot of time gathering their troops. Every time they attacked the city, they lost dozens of people. Most of them were not killed in battle, but lost their way, disappeared and fell behind.
The traveling speed of this kind of team is the most difficult to predict and has too many variables.
Just when you think the other party is unlikely to show up, they might storm over.
Just when you think the opponent is about to kill you, they might be delayed for weeks because of some trivial matter.
"If it were summer, it would be absolutely impossible to build a city here in one week. But now, with the construction speed of our engineering team, there is absolutely no problem. We have inexhaustible construction materials."
Kelman smiled confidently and pointed to the Andis Inland Lake Road.
"Ice City!?" Most people showed expressions of sudden realization.
"This is indeed feasible. When not only our engineering corps, but also hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Sishui City are mobilized, it will be enough to erect an ice city in one week. No more, we only need to persist for a month or two, and we will be able to build an ice city."
We can divert most of the people in Sishui City away, and then we can let go and fight them head-on."
"At that time, we only need to build two sides. The side with mountains and water can be omitted. Barbarians are not good at water fighting, so they probably won't launch attacks from the water easily."
"Defensive equipment can be transported up ready-made and then assembled directly at the top of the city."
Everyone was talking about it, perfecting a rough plan, repeatedly considering its feasibility, and finally agreed that as long as God didn't go against them, the probability of success was very high.
The Yongye Group Army never places its hopes on a certain plan. It is their most normal approach to adopt a dual or even multi-pronged approach.
In negotiations, they pressed harder and harder, forcing the Walled City Alliance to make various concessions.
In terms of people's livelihood, we began to organize the war refugees in Sishui City to evacuate in the direction of the Yongye Group Army.
Militarily, the First Corps and the Second Corps of the First Army of the Yongye Group Army stayed put. As mobile forces, the Second Corps and the Third Corps of the Second Corps crossed the defense line and rushed into the east of Sishui City overnight.
Twenty kilometers away.
Construction of the city began overnight.
Various unrepaired logs are used as support points and frames, earth, sand and gravel are used as building materials, cold lake water is used as adhesive, a layer of sand, a layer of water, the unique basin climate around the Andis inland lake
(In summer, the heat cannot escape, and it is very stuffy, like a big steamer; in winter, the cold air does not flow easily, and it is as cold as an ice cave), making these watered earth and stones not much inferior to steel.
Ben Hebrew was surprisingly cooperative and his national plot was very strong.
In his eyes, the war with the Yongye Group Army was an internal conflict within the nation. No matter who wins, the Andis people hold the dominant position, but there is a disparity in the way of governance.
The Kentana barbarians in the mountains are different. This is a naked foreign invasion. Once they win, the Andis people will face the fate of cruel slavery.
As for Gergild who used the strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves, he is a smart fool who has become a trophy of the mountain Kentana barbarians. The reason why he has not been killed yet is because the mountain Kentana barbarians still need
The ships in his hands and the mountain people who control them.
In terms of organizing manpower, Ban Hebrew is very good at organizing people, and his efficiency is not necessarily much worse than that of the Yongye Group Army.
This is a bit awesome.
You must know that the Yongye Group Army relies not on individual abilities, but on group strength. Orders are issued like gears that work perfectly together and operate at high speed.
Ban Hebrew relies solely on his personal reputation and skills. Even if he has his own cronies, they are only a few or two little cats. The current composition of Sishui Village is very complex and cannot be fully controlled at all.
Ban Hebrew could only adopt the temporary elder system, pull out the most respected people from the crowd, and explain to them the dangerous situation they faced. Once the barbarian army arrived, they would become lambs to be slaughtered. Now the only
The hope is that everyone will unite and work together to overcome the difficulties.
Of course, if Ben Hebrew encouraged them to go to the battlefield and fight the enemy bravely, the effect would be greatly reduced, because many people would be frightened by the Kentana barbarians in the mountains.
If they were allowed to contribute people to help build the city, and the regular regiments of the Yongye Group Army would be on the front line, that would be no problem. Especially the mountain people who were frightened by the barbarians were the most active, because they had seen it with their own eyes.
The brutality of that group of humanoid beasts made them worried about the current Sishui City. No matter how large the number of sheep were, they would still be driven away by wolves, especially the group of wild beasts they were facing from the ice fields.
What's more, the Yongye Group Army has never had the habit of letting people work for nothing, especially potential subjects.
There is no wages, so the two meals provided by the work-for-relief program are still indispensable. Even if they are a little sparse, in this difficult period, for many mountain people who have nothing, it is a timely help, even for those who do not have a Hebrew class.
Agitate the organization and they will come after hearing the news.
National justice and concerted efforts are far less important than filling the stomachs of oneself and one's family.
I don't know any of these characters. Before this, mountain people who had never been more than a hundred miles away from home really didn't have such a high vision.
When hundreds of thousands of people work hard for the same thing, even a mountain can be leveled.
