The Modao Army was preparing to build the city, and the soldiers of the Yuanwei Army and the Zhenwei Army looked at the two commanders.
Chai Qingtang and Shi Yuanhao looked at each other.
Chai Qingtang was silent.
Shi Yuanhao sighed and said: "The demon army hasn't arrived yet, so it doesn't make sense for us to leave now. After all, the Mo Dao army is a comrade. We help build the city. Once the demon army arrives, we will retreat immediately. How about it?"
Chai Qingtang said slowly: "It is a taboo for military strategists to keep breaking and wavering."
"If I don't help, I can't pass the test in my heart. I look at the Modao Army who are about to be buried here, and think of my past comrades who are also buried in this grassland. I'm afraid they will poke my spine." Shi Yuanhao said.
Chai Qingtang snorted coldly and said: "This general will firmly oppose..."
Before Shi Yuanhao sighed, Chai Qingtang continued: "However, I cannot take charge of generals of the same level. Since General Shi wants to build a city, I have no way to go alone and can only be forced to take action. However, you, General Shi, will bear all the blame.
It has nothing to do with me."
"Okay!" Shi Yuanhao smiled.
Chai Qingtang glanced at the vast green grassland.
His brothers are also buried here.
The two of them only felt sad for a while, then suddenly frowned and stared straight ahead.
Li Qingxian seemed to have a treasure chest, constantly taking out various fortifications and building materials.
Not only that, everything needed to build the city is available, including hard granite stones, quick-drying mud and stone glue to strengthen the adhesion, and... the underworld's expensive and powerful construction machinery.
In just a moment, hundreds of skeletons and machine-men were everywhere, digging out the foundations at extremely fast speeds to build small fortresses.
The puppet cultivators in each army were confused. These machine puppets were well made and were generally only used when building big cities. They were only used by high-grade puppet cultivators and were rarely sold outside. Where did Li Qingxian come from?
Ding Tiannian kept flipping through the drawings, using secret techniques to control the puppets, and loudly giving orders to all the puppet cultivators to build the city quickly.
Others don't know it, but as a fourth-grade puppet cultivator, he has long known about the situation in Qiyuan City. It is a city built purely by puppet cultivators from the underworld.
With plenty of money and sufficient materials, the cultivators ostensibly worked there as coolies, but in reality they tested various new buildings and techniques.
These things were obviously borrowed by Li Qingxian from Qiyuan City.
He also vaguely heard that the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce and the underworld had established a new department. On the surface, it was developing various civilian technologies and mechanisms, but in fact, it was secretly building various strange war mechanisms.
Precisely because he has his own news channel and has a close relationship with Liu Muwa in Shendu, he has a very good impression of Li Qingxian.
In the era of the rise of puppet construction, it was impossible to build a city on the spot. The most you could do was dig trenches and build earthen walls on the spot.
In the years when puppet repairs have flourished... it is still impossible to build a city on the spot.
Puppet cultivators don't have the ability to quickly turn soil into solid rock. It's not that it can't be done, but it requires a lot of time and mana, and it also requires a lot of preparation in advance.
But puppet repair and Li Qingxian can.
Li Qingxian's Qiankun Bracelet kept producing standard city-building materials.
In just an hour, a rough and small white stone fortress with a side of a hundred feet stood on the grassland.
The puppet cultivators and mechanism puppets continue to be built continuously, and their appearance has been completed. Even if the demon clan attacks at this time, they can still hold on.
The soldiers outside the city looked blank.
I've heard of the methods used by top-grade cultivators to build a city in half a day, but I've never seen it with my own eyes.
Although this fortress is small, it is well-equipped with gates, turrets, arrow towers, etc. The moat is dug outside, and the magicians are casting spells to fill it with water.
The city wall is covered with dense barbed wire, the barbed wire is full of poisonous spikes, and there are shooting holes all over the city wall.
What's even more outrageous is that after the fortress was basically built, the construction of the urn city began.
If given more time, would it be possible to expand an outer city?
Chai Qingtang and Shi Yuanhao looked at each other.
Shi Yuanhao sighed: "We have all underestimated the power of Marquis Qiyuan. Along the way, I occasionally received news that the demon cultivators from the Alliance of Gods and Demons were obstructing the Deer King's army. I also thought that I underestimated the demon clan's ability to resist poison.
The result is not here yet. I originally thought that Li Qingxian was full of passion and had poor strategies, but now it seems that there is a master behind him. He can build a city on the spot. How does this person's brain grow? I wonder.
It's nothing to pull off this move, but there are only a few people in the entire army who can do it."
Chai Qingtang said: "It should be what he thought and did. That's right. I went to Dadong County to deal with him. This person is very evil. He doesn't seem to have the word "fear" in his mind. He even burned tens of thousands of demon cultivators.
, it’s normal to do this kind of thing.”
Shi Yuanhao looked at the city wall, his eyes flickering slightly, then he glanced at Chai Qingtang, the strange smile on his face flashed away.
Chai Qingtang frowned, because he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but for a while he couldn't find any signs. Finally, he sighed in his heart, just take it one step at a time, and look back at the military books, because becoming a general will lead to death.
"Let's go and see what it's like? Or is it just an empty show?" Shi Yuanhao said.
"Um."
The two commanders dismounted and walked forward slowly.
At first glance, the ground outside the city is covered with densely packed ground, and it is not an ordinary wooden board with spikes, but a large iron plate with iron spikes, which is useful whether it hurts horses or monsters.
The vast expanse of ground is covered with iron edges and thorns, as well as horse traps to limit charging, horse traps, etc.
They looked up and saw that above the city, there were all kinds of tools, mace, iron and wood, etc., and they even saw a catapult.
The two veterans' scalps were numb. Li Qingxian first changed from a march to a defensive drill, and then prepared to turn the drill into a real fortification?
As long as there are enough resources, it is not impossible to do this kind of thing, but how many people in the world can have the Qiankun Bracelet?
If you don’t even have the Qiankun Bracelet, who can think of this kind of strategy?
Shi Yuanhao swallowed and said: "Old Chai, I think Mr. Li's equipment seems to be more sophisticated than our Zhenbei Army."
The two of them silently bent down, grabbed the iron-edged caltrops with their leather gloves on, and looked through it carefully.
It is better than Zhenbei Army's materials and workmanship.
"Let's go up to the city wall and have a look."
A group of people walked into the city gate, climbed onto the city wall, and stopped after walking a few steps.
Next to the catapult, what was placed were not ordinary stones, but small black jars about a foot high, with yellow talismans attached to them.
Everyone is familiar with this thing. The Explosive Talisman Cylinder invented by the Poison Master is simple to make and terrifyingly powerful. It has poison, ash, fire, explosions, broken blades, etc. Even a mid-level monster will be injured if its vitals are hit.
There is only one drawback, it is expensive.
No force in the world can afford it, and it disappears in the war as soon as it appears.
Where did Li Qingxian come from?
Looking around, there are hundreds of exploding talisman jars densely packed.
"It's great to have money..." Chai Qingtang felt sour.
"He seemed to be talking."
Everyone looked at the densely packed catapults, where many soldiers of the Modao Army were standing.
