The southern estuary of the Muping River, Xinfeng City

The snow here is much smaller than that upstream, the battle is more intense, the fall of the gods will have a clear sense of the priestess and the heirs, the city-state coalition army that has just fought head-on with the colonial army of the Cai Dynasty is in an uproar, and the defeated battle retreats on the spot, the heroic colonial army soldiers bravely intercept and kill countless people, harvest a large amount of baggage including spirit stones, and interrogate some high-level prisoners, Fengliang City only got the news that the alien city-state in the north was attacked by the Han State and several gods fell.

In the evening, the sky was cloudy and the snow was gone, and in the light of the setting sun, the water of the Muping River was dyed blood-red, not only the nearby battlefield, but also the blood water flowing downstream...... The Upstream Fruit Incident has changed.

When the general delivered this information to the county king's mansion, the king of Qing had just been spilled with cold water in an instant, and he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, his heart was churning, his heart was beating wildly, his eyes flashed, and he asked angrily: "How is it possible, what is he doing when he doesn't go to the east?

In order to ensure victory, several generals who are really good at military affairs are already on the front line, and with their rich war experience and the elite soldiers of their subordinates, strong real human regiments, and abundant material supplies, it is not a problem to deal with the natives of the city-states.

But in this way, the county king's mansion was half a bucket of water, and in the face of the question of the king of Qingjun, the ministers couldn't help but be speechless.

But these words were still a little more explicit, Jiayang Zhenren coughed, and King Qingjun woke up and said: "I was lonely just now, and now the facts have come true, what is the countermeasure of Zhongqing?"

"Or Ye Qing has a spy infiltrated into southern Xinjiang and knows that we are at war with a foreign city-state, and takes the opportunity to pick the fruit......"

"Yes, yes......"

At this time, how dare the ministers casually mention countermeasures, and only talk about them in general terms.

It's just that when he heard the secret agent, King Qingjun looked at Ning Juan, who was present at the meeting, and suppressed the suspicions in his heart, he knew that the interests of this woman were finally tied to him, and asked in a sincere tone as much as possible: "Madame expects the situation, and knows the north and south water systems of the Muping River, what do you think about this matter?"

Ning Juan was silent in his eyes for a moment, and said softly: "Today's plan, the worst plan is that the Han State will take advantage of the situation, and the husband should have been prepared to resist it early......"

"Anyway, isn't this battle a big victory, doesn't it just happen to capture a lot of spirit stones? It can be used to strengthen the city defense and improve the big array. ”

"The people of the scattered villages should gather back to a few big cities, so as not to let the Han Kingdom take them captive...... This is just a little woman's opinion of the concubine, and there are many fallacies, and the husband should listen to the opinions of the virtuous ministers. ”

When King Qingjun heard this, his expression was a little disappointed, this woman was still the same old persuasion and defense, she was saying that she couldn't compare to Ye Qing at all!

There is a minister, old and thin, with a pair of eyes blazing, stroking his beard: "The old minister thinks that what the princess said is very reasonable, everyone has their own strengths, and the five veins are also like this, Ye Qing is good at attacking and changing, we can't use our own shortcomings to hit people's strengths." ”

"Yes, at least the battle situation in southern Xinjiang should be determined before making a decision. ”

"Lord Wang, please think twice. ”

King Qingjun was silent when he heard this, the two plans of attack and defense in the war are completely different - the simplest is to use spiritual objects to build a large defensive array, if this is not used, the array disk and spirit stone can be recovered partially, and the rare spiritual objects of the painting array will be wasted, and the same is true for the vehicle array disk, which end of the attack and defense will be strengthened under the same resources.

Therefore, how to use the many newly captured heavy loot is the basis of the next plan.

He actually had the intention to compete with Ye Qing for the devouring speed of the alien city-states in southern Xinjiang, and it was too uncomfortable to stand and watch Ye Qing eat meat, but this incident gave him a great sense of crisis, and seeing the courtiers attending the meeting, they all thought it was true, and he thought that this was also in line with Tude's expertise, so he also listened to it this time: "Then temporarily shrink the army, expand the magic circle of several major cities, and increase the city defense." ”

"The construction of the concubine's body may be wrong, the husband does not first interrogate and ask the opinions of the four generals on the front line, Li, Ning, Xue, and Wu!" Ning Juan secretly said that she didn't know much about military affairs, but the black vein was good at accommodating all rivers, and she always felt that it was more reliable to listen to opinions and have more ways.

"You know what, the order can only come from above. ”

King Qingjun's face twitched, but he didn't hear this woman's indecisive and capricious Jianyi, he felt that he had let this woman influence too much before, and his prestige was too damaging in the two stages of attack and defense, and he couldn't lose face anymore, so he ignored Jianyi, who solicited the opinions of the generals on the front line...... Sometimes, the master should be more decisive!

Ning Juan was silent, a little uneasy, but she couldn't interfere in the military affairs of the county palace, so she had to hope that her husband would make the right decision.

She built a secure defense just now, worried that her husband would insist on going north to fight the Han army in the territory of a foreign city-state, although they were all in an unfamiliar enemy territory, but when it came to the ability to improvise, her husband could not compare to Ye Qing, and he stretched the supply line plainly, I was afraid that Ye Qing would collapse.

Now the purely defensive situation is the best coping strategy she can think of, but when it comes to whether she can survive it, she has no bottom in her heart......

Hei Wei still hasn't participated in the dragon battle for a long time, although she has heard about it from her father, but she has not received a complete military education, so she can only comfort herself - such generals in the palace are all in favor, it shouldn't be that they eat white rice, right?

The sunset set on the mountain, the black star also fell, night fell, looking at the dark night and the ice and snow in the north, thinking that the dangerous man was approaching in the **** expedition, she trembled inexplicably, and forced herself to press her mind, the imperial army is still very good at defensive warfare, there should be no problem.

A city-state in southern Xinjiang, the front line camp of the Cai army

The cold snowflakes fell outside, and a magician rushed into the tent, and the tent brought in a cold wind, which was cold to the hearts of the soldiers, who were just about to capture the first alien city-state, but got the retreat order issued by the county king's mansion, and the faces of the four generals who had always advocated attacking, Li, Ning, Xue, and Wu, the four generals who had always advocated attacking, turned blue and white for a while.

A young general's eyes were red, and he was tired from staying up all night to inspect the army, and he was angry at this time: "We have been preparing for a whole year just for this winter harvest, and if we don't rob it at this time, when the Han State swallows up the southern frontier, our colonial area has no strategic depth along the coast, once the Han Army goes south and is attacked by the naval division, won't it be dangerous!"

"Who gave the prince the idea...... No, I have to write and persuade me. Another young general said in a deep voice.

There was another general, who flipped the order over and over, stared at the royal dragon seal for a long time, was silent for a while, and shook his head: "It's late, the prince's personality ...... Be firm and not change once you make a decision. ”

The soldiers are bloody, and they have the intention to do something about 'being outside and not subject to military orders', but each other's military power is mutually contained, and there are eunuchs in the tent who are watching, and the four of them look at each other, and they dare not disobey their orders.

The three generals dispersed in the middle of the ring, and the tent was silent, and the middle-aged generals who were silent only laughed and threw their helmets to the ground: "That's it! The good situation is lost at the hands of the child, and there will be no place for me to die in the future!"

............

A month has passed in a hurry, and the entire southern Xinjiang has been covered with snow and ice, and it is always much more difficult for soldiers and civilians to change into sleds and skis for long-distance operations.

Because the snow fields during the day are prone to snow blindness and damage to eyesight, the Han State may have changed to a night attack because of the sympathy for the soldiers, and the offensive was not affected for some reason, almost under the nose of the Cai Dynasty, destroying various foreign city-states little by little, swallowing southern Xinjiang, and finally stopping between the middle and lower reaches of the Muping River.

It just didn't cross the territory of the Cai Dynasty's colonial area, so in line with the ostrich mentality, the boiling public opinion of the people stopped for a while, but Xinfeng City was still nervously expanding the magic circle and building additional city walls.

Several generals who are good at using troops let them guard the front line, but in general, if they don't attack, it will be difficult to detect the dense forests in southern Xinjiang, and the Han State will use elite squads to quickly shield the military situation, and the fog of the battlefield is a difficult problem to solve, and it is so artificially blocked, even these experienced generals are confused, and they don't know the reality of the military situation on the other side.

There are very few alien warriors who can escape from the tight lockdown, and these captives are all tortured, but due to the inconvenience of language communication, and even worse, the low-level alien barbarians lack the ability to recognize and describe, and they all have nutritional deficiency and night blindness, and they can't see clearly at night, and they can't understand how the Han State can achieve offensives again and again.

It is rare to catch a few high-level people, all of whom look like they have a nervous breakdown that is too stimulated, and the most shouted is: "God is dead-God is dead-"

Nonsense...... Everyone knows that none of these alien gods can be left behind.

"There's no useful information at all, so what now?"

When the county king's mansion convened the discussion, he was cold several times, and the king of Qingjun knew that he was scared last time, these people were cowardly, and even the thunder and rain and dew were all Jun En, so he had to look at everyone earnestly: "You Aiqing are all ministers of the humerus, why don't you speak freely?"

The left-behind courtiers discussed it, and finally the topic opened, and some people swore that "at least the Han State, until the newly conquered areas are stabilized and logistics are established, it is absolutely impossible to use further troops against the south this year." ”

"There has to be a limit to the so-called odd soldiers, right?"

"Although I somehow crossed the Phantom Forest, most of them sneaked up on the eastern flank, but there is a lack of a north-south water system like the Muping River, and the transportation conditions are very poor, so it must be ......."

"Preparations for a counteroffensive should be made as soon as possible, once the Han State transfers its elite troops to conquer the eastern states, it will be our chance to recapture the southern frontier. ”

In short, everyone's opinion is that the Han Kingdom will not fight, and the king of Qingjun was a little shaken when he heard it, he has always wanted to attack, but now he is completely hopeless on the defense, or has it changed?
