Jacob and his team cast spells together, and I saw the power of earth magic for the first time.

Huge rock giants with a height of more than ten meters woke up from the mountain one after another, rumbled to the valley mouth, and disintegrated under the frightened gaze of the people outside the valley, completely sealing the valley mouth.

A steady stream of rock giants disintegrated at the mouth of the valley until a retaining wall more than ten meters high was formed.

Immediately after that, hundreds of small rock giants no more than a meter tall stepped out of the mountain and ran to the rock retaining wall at the mouth of the valley to start repairing the retaining wall.

A few hours later, when Liu Youming drove to the valley with more than a thousand militiamen in a car and pulled a cannon, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw two walls with a height of more than 10 meters and a width of nearly 20 meters, completely formed of rock, erected at the two valley entrances of the valley. The interface on both sides of the city wall and the mountain of the valley merge into each other, as if they were born out of nowhere.

The mountains on both sides of the valley formed two huge caves, and the inside of the caves was divided into more than a dozen layers, and countless shooting holes were dug into each layer. There are also rotating roads in the cave that lead to the top of the hill on both sides.

The entire project was designed by Huang Jiaping, a graduate of the Department of Civil Engineering at the National University of Defense Technology, who was not selected by the army to join the combat unit and eventually became a volunteer militia after working as a postman in the provincial capital for more than three years.

The top of the hill was also leveled out, and according to Huang Jiaping's vision, the top of the hill on both sides was artillery and air defense positions, which cooperated with the defensive measures in the city wall and the cave to form a three-dimensional cross strike system. Even if the Ni broke through the city walls, they would be torn apart by the arrangement of caves on both sides of the valley.

I looked at the hundreds of thousands of Ni gathered outside from the top of the mountain with satisfaction, patted Huang Jiaping's shoulder and said to Liu Youming: "See, this is a talent." ”

Liu Youming said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Huang is very good, we have appointed him as the director of the logistics department and the head of the engineer training section." ”

Huang Jiaping smiled and said, "Commissioner Xu, we will complete the details." It's just that we use old-fashioned weapons and bullets, I'm afraid the damage to the Ni people is not very great. ”

I smiled and said: "These weapons will be scrapped if they are not used, it is better to use them for training first, and then replenish the new armor-piercing bullets when they are consumed. After the defeat of the Ni people here, the trained militia can go to the northern battlefield to fulfill the important task of protecting the material railway. ”

Liu Youming said with a smile: "We will train an iron army." ”

On the way back, there were no more Ni people in sight, and there were militia and hunter squads cleaning the battlefield everywhere.

Daba pulled Huang Jiaping and Jacob's team and continued to the valley on the other side.

After instructing Liu Youming to strengthen the defense of the railway into both ends of the valley, I returned to the train.

Fang Honggang was excitedly counting the engraved horizontal on the butt of the gun, and when he saw me getting into the front of the car, he hurriedly ran over and nodded and said, "Xu Shangxian, I killed forty-seven nuns today. ”

Qi Ming nodded at me, and I smiled and said, "Well done." ”

As he was talking, he heard a "bang" of gunfire on the coal car.

Fang Honggang hurriedly picked up the gun and ran to the coal car.

I looked over and saw that Lin Jing was throwing a sniper rifle aside, and said angrily: "Xiao Fangzi, you can see if there is a problem with the gun, why didn't I hit any of them." ”

Fang Honggang put down the gun, picked up the binoculars and looked at it, but picked up Lin Jing's sniper rifle and aimed it in a standing position.

With a "bang", I looked up and saw a two-winged Ni man in the distance shake and fall.

Fang Honggang put down the gun, picked up his gun, took out a knife and made a cut, and then said with a smile: "Sister Lin, the wind speed and the speed of the target should be considered according to the distance, and the gun can't be shot if you can't shoot with the crosshair, then the bullet will drift." ”

Lin Jing stood up and said angrily: "If you don't fight, it's a waste of bullets if I fight, it's better to rush up and solve it with two knives." ”

Qi Ming said with a smile: "You still have to learn to shoot, the Ni people now use guns, and it is a loss not to shoot guns." ”

Qi Ming's words reminded me, and I turned to Gong Xue and Zhuo Zhuo, who had just gotten on the train, and said: "I want to inform all the hunter squads that they will start training firearms now, the Ni people will now use hot weapons, and in order to prevent unnecessary sacrifices, those who can be solved with guns will resolutely not fight hand-to-hand combat." Weapons and ammunition on the train, tube enough. ”

Gong Xue said: "Except for Xiao Jing, the others in our team are all good at using guns. ”

Lin Jing said angrily: "From tomorrow onwards, I will go to Brother Lin Hua's side and practice guns every day, I won't believe it." ”

Qi Ming said with a smile: "I'll go with you, I'm also very bad at shooting." ”

I smiled and acquiesced to them.

In the evening, I had a meeting with a few of the captains who took the lead on the train.

Wind Sprint and Muye have been treated by Tiffany & Co., and they are all fine.

Feng Ming, who caught up, heard the news of my identity and the death of Wan Cookie, and his face turned from shock to sadness.

After bowing his head and being silent for a while, he raised his head and said to me, "Your Highness, starting tomorrow, I will come to the front." ”

I shook my head and said, "There is my escort ahead, you still act as a rearguard, protect the back of the train, and wait until you reach the provincial capital, and then make plans." ”

Feng Ming still wanted to speak, I raised my hand to stop him, and said: "The back road is very important, whether it is from here to the provincial capital, or after leaving the provincial capital, I need a strong team to ensure our back road, it really doesn't work, we can still go back." ”

Feng Ming thought for a while and said, "Okay, it's just that the brothers heard that the brothers in front of them fought so hard, and they were not willing to do nothing in the back. ”

I smiled and said, "After leaving the provincial capital, maybe your task is the heaviest. ”

Feng Ming bent down and stroked my chest and said, "I am willing to die for Your Highness." ”

I reached out to hold him and said with a smile, "We have to try not to die, I trust you." ”

Feng Chi and Mu Ye also said: "Your Highness, our team is fine, and we can continue to serve as guards on both sides." ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but I ask you all to go to Lin Hua to get enough weapons and ammunition, remember, from now on your mission is to scout the movements of the Ni people, not desperately." ”

From today's battle, it can be seen that the number of Ni people has become so large that there are hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of ordinary Ni and hundreds of winged Ni. With just the dozens of guns of the hunter team, it is difficult to fight hard with the Ni people.

As long as I arrive at the provincial capital and get in touch with the capital, I can use these hunters with strong individual strength as a reconnaissance detachment to mobilize the troops along the railway line and protect the material train to reach the capital safely.

Early the next morning, Jacob returned, along with Li Dechang, Liu Youming, and Huang Jiaping.

Li Dechang handed me the list of supplies.

I took a cursory look at it and handed the list to Excellence.

There were more than 500 well-maintained cars, 300 cannons of all kinds, as well as a large number of small arms and enough ammunition, as well as more than 1,000 tons of gasoline and diesel.

"This is stored according to the number of a standard army formed in the army of the last century. Huang Jiaping said.

I looked at Zhuo Zhuo, and he nodded to me, agreeing with Huang Jiaping's words.

Excellence continued: "Through yesterday's battle, we found that the strength and strength of the Ni people's bodies are declining, and the reason is unknown. I'm now sure that using an old small arms to set fire to an ordinary nun would only use about half as many bullets. ”

I lowered my head and thought about taking a few steps forward, then turned back and said, "I'll talk about that later." ”

Liu Youming said: "Commissar Xu, the fortifications for the entrance and exit of the east-west sides and the north-south trains have been repaired, and we have checked along the mountain again to determine that it is impossible to enter this small plain through other places unless the Ni people fly in. ”

I nodded and said, "How's the manpower?"

Huang Jiaping said: "This morning the provincial capital sent another 1,000 volunteers, and we formed a total of 400 veterans and police officers into three companies to temporarily guard the valley on the east and west sides and the entrance here. ”

I thought for a while and said: "Yes, several points must be equipped with enough anti-aircraft machine guns and artillery, don't be stingy with shells, if you don't know how to operate, you can use shells to practice, anyway, there is enough ammunition in the cave." ”

Li Dechang nodded and said: "The training has begun, and we have sent someone to report the situation here to the provincial capital, and the provincial capital called back and said that he was eagerly looking forward to Commissioner Xu going to guide." ”

I smiled and said, "Guidance, I'm going to take off some people's hats." ”

Several people were stunned.

I turned back to Excellence and said, "Let's go." ”

From the small plains to the provincial capital, the road was calm.

A few hours later, we were already on the Great Plains.

Xijing City is a famous city with a long history.

The splendor and glamour of the ancient capital of the Eleventh Dynasty, the prosperity and glory of two thousand years, are all imprinted on the mottled blue-gray city bricks, buried in the wind-blown loess. In the long river of time, there is no eternal immortality, and there is no eternal pride.

As we approached Xijing, a long stream of vehicles could already be seen along the railway, marching north along the railway.

Fang Honggang had already put away his gun, sat on the coal pile and said to me: "Commissar Xu, Your Highness Xu, the newly formed army in the south is marching to the north every day, and I heard that except for the personnel and equipment lost by the Ni people along the road, only one-third of them arrive in the capital, and a large part of them desert away. ”

When Fang Honggang heard my identity from Lin Jing, he almost didn't dare to approach me. It wasn't until I came to the front of the car to ask him about Xijing.

Fang Honggang was left in Xijing by his father on the way back to the capital, and at that time, he only explained that the leaders of the provincial party committee in Xijing arranged the most dangerous post for him, but who knew that he was sent to a cave in the dark, talking about the deputy commander-in-chief, but he counted the supplies to Li Guoping every day.

Hearing Fang Honggang's words, I was leaning on the side of the coal car with my eyes squinted, but I was shocked in my heart.

How did the situation become so erosive?

Not to mention that there are more than three million troops in the Immortal God Realm, even in the entire southern provinces, there are nearly one million troops still in our hands.

Why don't the army and the people have any confidence in the country?

"What kind of person is Qiu Chunan?" I kicked Li Guoping, who was sitting next to me.

Qiu Chunan is the secretary of the provincial party committee of Qinxi Province, and is now the deputy political commissar of the Southern Theater Command and the chairman of the Southern Theater Front Committee.

Li Guoping said: "Secretary Qiu was born poor and has a strong work ability, so he was promoted very early. He is a jealous and hateful person, and he is very upright, so he treats his subordinates very harshly. ”

Lin Jing, who was eating a lollipop next to him, kicked him again and said, "Tell the truth." ”

I couldn't help laughing, what Lin Jing said was exactly what I wanted to say.

Li Guoping was in pain and said, "I said, I said." ”

Qiu Chunan disguised himself very well, because he was born poor and his education was not high, so since he joined the work, he has been diligent and diligent, and he wants to exchange hard work for the day when he gets out.

It's a pity that this person has great ambition and low ability, so he has been depressed. It wasn't until he met a director of the women's federation of the provincial party committee, an old woman in her fifties, that he was in her early thirties at the time.

Because he was not good-looking and a little chubby, he had to use money to open the way, approached the female leader, and successfully became the female leader's minister.

Since then, it took him ten years to get mixed up to the department level, and continued to buy * officials all the way through the relationship of female leaders, until he sat in the position of secretary of the provincial party committee.

", how can you know such a secret thing so clearly?" Lin Jing asked with a smile.

I said to Lin Jing: "Go aside, children, don't pollute your ears with these dirty things." ”

Lin Jing glanced at me and said, "Cut, I heard these things at my cousin's house since I was a child. ”

I reluctantly turned my head and asked, "How do you know this?"

Li Guoping's eyes were confused for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses again and said: "Because I am Qiu Chunan's brother-in-law, but even I, the deputy head of the organization department, bought it for 250,000 yuan." ”

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded, I had to collect money for my brother-in-law, and this Secretary Qiu was also the best.

With a smile, I stood up and said to Li Guoping, "Do you have any evidence?"

Li Guoping said: "I don't, but my sister does, and my sister has been able to be safe and sound all these years, all thanks to his handle." ”

Lin Jing smiled and said to me, "You went, do you still need to find evidence?"

I smiled and didn't speak.

However, Fang Honggang said: "Although His Royal Highness is a special member of the Central Committee, to be honest, his foundation in the country is not stable, and he still needs to weigh and weigh when dealing with a provincial party secretary, this is politics." ”

I looked at Fang Honggang strangely, this yamen still has some knowledge.

At this time, Lin Jing smiled at Fang Honggang, Fang Honggang was so frightened that he shrank his neck, hurriedly leaned down and said, "Sister, I was wrong, sister, I shouldn't have interjected." ”

I said helplessly: "Xiao Fang, you are at least ten years older than her, aren't you ashamed to scream like this sister every day?"

Fang Honggang said in a low voice: "Sister Xiaojing is beautiful and capable, the so-called hearing has a precedence, and there is a specialization in the art industry, I still count on learning some self-defense skills from Sister Xiaojing, after all, the war is in chaos now." ”

Lin Jing said with a smile: "Although he is a Yanei, he is not a big official in the family, so he has been used to calling him brother when he meets people and sister when he meets people, and I have seen this kind of person a lot when I was in the capital." ”

Turning his head, he saw that Li Guoping was nodding, but he kicked it again, and said, "You laugh at a fart, you are a dead embezzler." ”

I shook my head helplessly, turned my head to look at Xijing City, which was getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but think, this officialdom is really complicated!
