Chapter 330: Black clouds crush the city and want to destroy it
The Battle of Lianzhou was the largest battle between the player lords and the aboriginal forces on the main map since the first year of Gaia. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The total number of troops mobilized by both sides exceeded 100,000.
The sudden war made Shanhai City the focus of attention in China again. Ouyang Shuo's absence cast a shadow on this war.
Everyone's eyes are focused on the Lianzhou Basin.
Many civilian players who supported Ouyang Shuo sweated for Ouyang Shuo.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Shanhai City, and under the joint sniping of the three parties, it is unknown whether Shanhai City can still stand tall in the Lianzhou Basin.
No one thought that Shanhai City would be able to easily get out of this premeditated war this time. The best ending is just to barely hold on, leaving a dilapidated mountain and sea city, and its vitality is greatly damaged.
Those who have good deeds even open a gambling game, betting on how long Shanhai City can hold out......
Not only players in China, but also players around the world are paying attention to this war. Not for anything else, just because the protagonist of the war is the No.1 among the global lord players, and naturally attracts attention.

Jack Dawson muttered to himself, "Our old friend, we're one step ahead again!" ”
"Are you so sure that the Marquis of Lianzhou will win this war?" His friends were skeptical.
"Hey, if you can't even cope with this little difficulty, how can you be my opponent." Jack is confident.
“……”
"Actions against indigenous people should also be stepped up. Hey, I'm still too kind. Jack smiled, but his words were cold, "Tell them that if they don't give in, they will be ready to suffer the catastrophe of extermination!" ”
"No problem!"

English Quarter, Fort Ivek.
Marquis William shouted to the clerk with dissatisfaction: "Marquis Lianzhou already has the strength to launch a war at the level of a hundred thousand troops, look at what we are still doing, playing mud or playing house, ah?" ”
“……”
The clerk was silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
William tried to calm his emotions and asked instead, "How's the development of the steam engine?" ”
"Everything is going well, and it is expected that it will take another year and a half to take shape."
"A year and a half? It's too slow! It's too slow! William's expression was fanatical, extremely dissatisfied with the work of his subordinates, and he was about to be furious, "It is urgent to restore the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets!" ”
William is a nobleman in reality, a lord with a strong national complex, and his ideal is to recreate the glory of the British Empire, dominate the seas, and colonize the world.
"Yes, I'll hurry up and set it up." The clerk replied cautiously.
William's face was hideous, and he said in a cold voice: "One year, remember, I only give you one year!" After a year, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, you know the consequences. ”
"No problem!"
The clerk felt bitter in his heart, but he did not dare to refuse the marquis's request.

Annam District, Hai Phong District.
ps: Annam is ancient Vietnam, and later unified to Annam.
Ruan Tianque, the lord of Haiphong County, had a solemn expression: "Our neighbor is really shocking!" ”
"Who's to say it isn't?! The Black Shark pirates who had been harassing the coast before were extinguished. ”
Speaking of the Black Shark Pirates, Ruan Tianque's face twitched, Haiphong Town was almost destroyed by the Black Shark, and when he was about to fight back, the Black Shark was wiped out by Shanhai City, which was really a great irony.
"I really hope that the Marquis of Lianzhou will make a big fall this time, otherwise, it will eventually become a disaster for Annan." Thinking of the future national war, Ruan Tianque frowned. Anyone with such a strong neighbor will not be at ease.
"Is it too early to mention the national war?"
"Early? No, not early at all. If the Marquis of Lianzhou wins this war, there will be no opponent in the Lianzhou Basin. Tell me, who will he set his eyes on? "Ruan Tianque was born with a sense of crisis.
“……”
"The matter of liaising with the northern territories and forming a unified alliance must be stepped up." Ruan Tianque looked inexplicable, unifying the north and south of Annan was the first step for him to realize his personal ambitions, but it was difficult.
"Things are not very easy to do, those guys, all of them are unruly, how can they be willing to give in?"
Ruan Tianque smiled mysteriously: "Hasn't the opportunity already appeared?" Just take Lianzhou Hou as an imaginary enemy, can they still be so comfortable? There is an old Chinese saying: If you want to go outside, you must first settle inside. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"

Lianzhou Hou Mansion, the main hall of the council.
The four directors and General Bai Qi discussed together. Song San, director of the Military Intelligence Department, Luo Shixin, commander of the Second Division, Zhao Sihu, deputy commander of the Chengwei Division, and Wei Ran, prefect of Shanhai City, attended the meeting as observers.
Because it was wartime, as a rule, General Bai Qi overlooked military affairs and presided over the proceedings.
After Song San finished reporting the military situation, there was silence in the main hall.
Du Ruhui, director of military affairs, spoke first: "The outer city wall will definitely not be able to be defended. Rather than this, it is better for the strong man to break his wrist, directly abandon the outer city wall, and retreat to the three inner cities. ”
"This is not the right law!" Wei Ran immediately objected, "A large number of residential and commercial areas are being built in the outer city, and once it is abandoned, it will inevitably be destroyed by the enemy army, and the economic losses caused are immeasurable. ”
Since Wei Ran took office, most of his efforts have been spent on the construction of the outer city of Shanhai City. If the military wants to directly abandon the outer city, it is tantamount to letting his hard work go to waste, which he does not want to see in any case.
"The last general also has doubts." Zhao Sihu followed suit, and he mainly analyzed from the perspective of war defense: "Not to mention that the outer city will be destroyed. Retreating to the inner city is equivalent to dividing the army into three, and the grassland coalition army is all cavalry, and they can completely cut off the communication between the three inner cities, so that we can fight separately. ”
Bai Qi was not affected by Wei Ran and Zhao Sihu, and looked at Du Ruhui: "Director Du must have other intentions?" Although he has only worked with Du Ruhui for a month, he admires Du Ruhui very much. This man is far-sighted and decisive. The questions raised by Wei Ran and Zhao Sihu could not have been thought of by Du Ruhui.
As soon as Bai Qi's voice fell, Zhao Sihu's face turned red and he was ashamed in his heart. He was still too Meng Lang, eager to express himself, but he didn't think about the deep meaning of Du Ruyan's words.
Wei Ran looked calm, the outer city was his hard work, and there was no room for any mistakes.
Du Ruhui glanced at Zhao Sihu, with a hint of encouragement and comfort in his eyes, and then said: "Retreating to the inner city does not mean giving up the outer city. The abandonment of the outer walls does not mean the abandonment of the outer fortifications. As General Zhao said, the enemy army is cavalry, good at field battles, not good at siege. ”
"The outer city can be used as a forward position to defend against enemy forces. As for the economic losses? Speaking of this, Du Ruhui was expressionless and said: "This is war, we are the defender, and damage is inevitable." Not to mention the outer city, even the inner city will also suffer. This is a large-scale war, and if we want to achieve ultimate victory, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war and pay great sacrifices. ”
Du Ruhui is worthy of being a resolute person, and his heart is hard enough.
Wei Ran felt bitter in his heart, and was about to refute it. After thinking about it, he sat back down and was silent.
Seeing this, as soon as Bai Qi's heart was relieved, he was afraid that Wei Ran would be entangled again. The separation of military and political territory is child's play! As the director of military affairs, Du Ruhui had absolute authority during the war.
He summoned Wei Ran to participate in the meeting, but it was just some military operations that required the cooperation of Shanhai City. As for influencing military decisions? As a prefect, it is a bit overstepping.
In the territory, the only one who can influence the military and politics at the same time is the prince and the marquis.
Fortunately, Wei Ran didn't make it difficult for him. Rumors from the outside world, how could Bai Qi not hear about it.
It is rumored that they have two sons-in-law, one of whom controls the army and the other who controls the county town. Now that the prince is not here, the territory is not up to them.
Although Bai Qi didn't have this intention, he had to pay attention to one or two.
Wei Ran is also an old fox, and he is even clearer of the rumors that he can hear. It was precisely because of this consideration that he suddenly gave up arguing with Du Ruhui.
As for the loss of Shanhai City, it was up to him to do the work.
"Please rest assured that the Administration Department and the Home Affairs Department will do a good job of pacifying the people." On behalf of the civilian clique, Fan Zhongyan expressed his support for the military's decision-making.
Du Ruhui nodded.
The next step was to discuss the transfer of troops. With the Second Division and the City Guard Division alone, it was not a big problem to hold on, but it was not enough to repel or even defeat the enemy.
Although the prince did not make a clear statement, he speculated that the prince wanted to take advantage of this war to completely pacify the Lianzhou Basin and create favorable conditions for the external expansion of the territory.
Therefore, it was necessary to transfer other divisions and regiments to reinforce Shanhai City.
Needless to say, the Third Division was pinned down by Broken Blade County and could not withdraw for the time being. The 1st Division will definitely have to be mobilized, and the defense of the west can be temporarily handed over to the city defense units.
The crux of the matter is whether or not to mobilize the Fourth Division.
The formation of the Fourth Division has always been a secret of Shanhai City. Whether it is a spy from the grassland or a spy from Broken Blade County, it is impossible to know about the existence of the Fourth Division.
All they knew was that Mulan City had a large city defense force. Therefore, the Steppe Coalition Army arranged for an army of 8,000 to monitor Mulan City.
The Fourth Division has basically completed the re-equipping, and its combat effectiveness has been raised to a higher level. The grassland army's defense force of Mulan City is still in the period of the city guard brigade.
This is the biggest variable.
After a brief discussion with Du Ruhan, Bai Qi decided to play this card well, not to mobilize the Fourth Division for the time being, and let the Fourth Division stand still for the time being.
The last question is whether the North Sea Fleet should participate in the war.
The Beihai Fleet, which returned from Yazhou, stayed in Beihai City because the shipyard-built building ships had not yet been delivered, and the second expedition was temporarily suppressed.
"The North Sea Fleet is on standby, just in case." Du Ruhui is decisive, but it doesn't mean that he is not cautious. In such a war, one more strength is one more guarantee.
"I agree!" Bai Qi expressed his support, and the matter was settled. (To be continued.) )
