Chapter 942: The Sword Pointed at Xianning

As early as before Shang Ji set out to conquer the national war on the mainland, the Pingzhou army began to make and hoard a large number of inferior military rations. As I said before, military rations are divided into five grades, namely, low-grade military rations, medium-grade military rations, high-grade military rations, super-grade military rations, and inferior military rations that are not considered formal grades!

The cost of defective military rations is very low, and the sources of raw materials are very extensive. Wheat bran, fish meal, whale oil, organ meats, rhizomes of certain plants and a small amount of flour, rice. Later, Shang Ji returned from the National War and brought back two high-yield crops, potatoes and corn, which were the main raw materials.

The taste of the military rations made from these things is naturally indescribable, anyway, if you give this thing to the army, it won't be long before you have to mutiny and riot.

Since the beginning of the Shang Ji's expedition, the pace of making military rations in Pingzhou has never stopped. Because of the low cost of construction and the fact that normal grain is hardly occupied, the amount of inferior military rations hoarded among the five types of military rations is the largest, and even far exceeds the sum of the other four types of military rations.

The inferior military rations produced are rectangular, about half a foot long, about three inches wide, one and a half inches thick, and weighs about five catties.

The appearance looks grayish-white, the hardness is very high, and the probability of breaking the head is higher than that of the military rations.

Although it doesn't look good, and it doesn't taste good, it can really save lives at critical moments. A serving of such military rations, after being smashed and boiled in water, is completely enough for a family (counting five people) to eat for a day.

In the historical records of the late Han Dynasty, the words "Chidi Qianli", "Yizi cannibalism", and "white bones exposed in the wild" appeared more than once, and it was naturally impossible for Shang Ji not to take precautions.

More than 10 billion copies of this kind of military food have been hoarded in various parts of Pingzhou, and they are still being manufactured!

Xi Zhicai and the others had long expected that Park Yin might use this kind of ruthless method that would end up together, and along with the military funds, there was also a large amount of inferior military rations.

Military rations are resistant to moisture, corrosion and insects, and are very convenient to transport. In addition, there are sailors who can assist in transportation, and it is not a problem to transport hundreds of millions of military rations in one trip.

As the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hands, although the inferior military food is terrible, but no matter how unpalatable it is, it is food, and it is absolutely enough to relieve the victims!

Large quantities of food were distributed to the hungry, and the already somewhat unstable situation was immediately settled. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way to force it, few people would be willing to rebel with their heads up.

Deng Yan dispatched a large number of civil affairs officials to accompany the army, just to deal with this situation. A sufficient number of highly qualified civil affairs officials were stationed in major cities, with sticks in one hand and carrots in the other, and the situation was quickly stabilized.

When Pu Yin retreated, all the elites in the city retreated with the army, and those who remained were ordinary people.

Those who are willing to migrate will move to Huaxia City, which currently has only 30 million people, which is very unqualified for a royal city. Those who did not want to migrate continued to live in the same place, and Pingzhou, on the one hand, continued to distribute relief food to support their livelihoods, and on the other hand, organized them to sow fast-growing rice and restore their ability to support themselves as soon as possible.

With the passage of time, the burden that Pu Yin threw on Shang Ji did not achieve the effect of restricting Pingzhou's footsteps, but further strengthened Pingzhou's strength.

The Shang even recruited auxiliaries in the newly occupied major cities to assist in defending the cities and ensuring logistics, and these newly recruited troops were naturally far inferior in combat effectiveness, but the average loyalty was still quite impressive.

With the assistance of some of these newly recruited auxiliaries, the shortcomings of the Pingzhou Army's insufficient strength have also been filled, and Pu Yin can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot this time.

Of course, Shang Ji was not polite, after rectifying the interior, the army was killed, and this time the sword blade was directed at Xianning City!

In Xianning City, Park Eun, dressed in military uniform, was personally inspecting the defense, while he was followed by a large number of generals.

"Great leader, the whole army of Xianning City has a total of 7.3 million defenders, and the food stored in the city can be eaten by the whole army for a year. There are more than 60,000 large-scale defense equipment of all kinds, and countless defensive materials such as rolling stones, sasswood, arrows, and fire oil are in reserve.

The city wall has already been strengthened multiple times, and its defense is not much worse than that of the royal city, and another 300,000 craftsmen can urgently repair the city wall at any time, which can be described as impregnable. The whole city is loyal to the Great Leader, and under the wise command of the Great Leader, the enemy army will definitely be able to block the enemy army to the west of Xianning City! ”

The general's voice was loud and his posture was erect, and his tone was full of infinite respect for the great leader and firm confidence in Xianning City.

"Okay, good, with General Jin, you guarding Xianning City, I'm very relieved!"

A gentle smile appeared on Park Eun's face and gently patted Kim Young-sun on the shoulder. The tall Kim Young-sun immediately bent down and bowed his head so that the great leader could pat himself on the shoulder more conveniently.

"Report to the leader, the subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the leader and the people, resolutely defend Xianning City, and smash the enemy's conspiracy!"

Jin Rongshan gave a standard military salute and said firmly.

"Well, well, having a famous general like General Jin who has the courage to take on the role is really a blessing for the motherland and the people!"

Park Eun praised Kim Young-sun again, and then ended the inspection with Kim Young-sun in gratitude.

After leaving Xianning City, which was about to be reduced to the front line, in the midst of many generals' greetings, Park Eun's face immediately became a little difficult to look at.

It is true that Xianning City has more than 7 million troops, but Pu Yin knows the details of these 7 million troops better.

There are about 1.2 million player armies among them, and the rest are aboriginal armies. Naturally, there is no problem with the loyalty of the player's army, but they have suffered too heavy losses during the national war, and they have not been able to recover until now.

The aboriginal army is slightly better, but the morale is low and the army is chaotic, and if it weren't for the large number of North Korean players as overseers, I'm afraid a large-scale mutiny would have occurred long ago!

In general, relying on them to hold Xianning City, the success rate is very low!

However, this is already all the forces that Park Eun can mobilize, except for the basic guardian forces of several major cities such as Pyongyang, all the other troops that can be mobilized have been withdrawn, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to call back a large number of troops on the border between the two Koreas.

Originally, Park Eun expected to be able to raise at least 10 million troops, but due to internal turmoil, only more than 7 million troops were finally put together, and the defense force plummeted again.

In fact, even if Shang Ji does nothing and continues to confront each other like this, according to the current situation in North Korea, it is very likely that Park Eun will be directly dragged down in less than three months!

Of course, Shang Ji wouldn't do that. His main goal was to absorb North Korea's population and territory, not to defeat Park Eun. Although dragging it down can bring down Park Eun, it will also militarize the various opposition forces in the rear, and at the same time, it will also greatly consume valuable human resources.

Once it is really warlordized, even Shang Ji will have to work hard to clean them up, which is not in his interests.

The plan now is to quickly defeat Park Eun with the power of thunder, and then use the power of a great victory to subdue the forces of all parties and avoid falling into the quagmire of war.

Two days later, the main army of Pingzhou arrived in Xianning City.

Without much nonsense, with the beating of war drums, the attack on Xianning City officially began!
