Chapter 863: The Last Ring, Meteorite Arrives!
Chapter 863 [This is the third chapter today]
In addition, Li Zhengji led 40,000 soldiers and horses to support the southwest before, and was raided by the Wusi Tibetans, which consumed the little troops that had been accumulated in the interior of the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses that the current imperial court can send are really limited.
At this time, Wang Chong naturally thought of his father and eldest brother.
"Father and eldest brother, there should be 20,000 soldiers and horses on both sides, although they are infantry, but they are elite soldiers who have been tested for a long time, sharpened from blood and fire, and the defense is extremely powerful. The Battle of Talas and the Great Cannibal War, they should be able to make a difference. However, this is still not enough, these forces alone are far from enough to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Great Food Empire. β
Wang Chong's mind fluctuated one after another, remembering the information about the Battle of Talas in his previous life. In the battle between Gao Xianzhi and Aibumu/Si/Linna, the Great Cannibals gathered at least 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the Great Cannibals were more ferocious and good at fighting than the Usi Tibetans.
"Those soldiers in the interior of the imperial court who have not experienced a big war are simply useless, and this kind of new soldiers are sent to death if they are brought over. And the place where the Tang Dynasty has the most troops is the border capital. Zhang Shouqi and I had a conflict, and they would never help me, and the transfer of troops was too far away, and Youzhou was really too far away. On the side of Beiting, An Sishun will definitely make excuses even if he can help, as for Longxi...... , Ge Shuhan doesn't have enough troops himself, I'm afraid he really can't take care of himself, and it can only be a luxury to let him help me. β
"At this time, the only one who can transfer troops and horses is the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate. The Ali royal family has been destroyed by me, the Mengshezhao Empire has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and there is really no threat to the Annan Protectorate. β
Wang Chong pondered for a moment, and soon wrote down the name of the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate. For a short time, this was the only thing he could think of.
Soldiers and horses are necessary, weapons and food, Wang Chong already has the moxi armory and the hybrid rice of Jiaozhi, and he doesn't need the help of the imperial court. What is really needed most is gold and silver, war is a war of wealth, and the most consumed is gold and silver. And with these things, Wang Chong can recruit more mercenaries, which is also the most practical method in a short period of time.
One after another, Wang Chong added one name after another, and after writing everything, Wang Chong stood up, rolled up the letterhead, and was about to stuff it into the bamboo tube, when suddenly, outside the steel city, there was a thunderous cry of joy, and a boiling voice shook the sky.
"Wang Chong, come on! Your second brother Wang Xiao is hereββ"
Suddenly, Xu Qiqin's voice came from the walls of the Steel City from afar.
"What?!"
When Wang Chong heard this, he was shaken all over, and he couldn't believe his ears. Whoosh, putting down the letterhead, Wang Chong flew through the window and flew out.
After a while, outside the city gate, there was a sea of people, I don't know how many people and horses were surging along the cement road leading to the black wound, these people had fierce eyebrows, looked fierce and vicious, and the clothes they were wearing were completely different, they were actually famous mountain thieves and horse bandits! Seeing this scene, not to mention other people, even Wang Chong was stunned.
But soon, Wang Chong was attracted by the cold figure at the front of these bandits and horse bandits.
"Second brother!"
Wang Chong was overjoyed and immediately flew over. The two brothers hugged each other fiercely.
"Little brother, I'm here. β
Wang Xiao said lightly, his expression was cold, and there was not much ripple on his face, but the eyes that had always rejected people thousands of miles away revealed a trace of warmth.
Wang Chong's second brother Wang Xiao suppressed the mania on his body, walked out of the prison in the palace, and went all the way from Jingshi to Wushu, subdued a large number of bandits and horse bandits on the road, and brought eight or nine thousand troops to Wang Chong, which was not expected by everyone, and the morale of the people in the entire steel city was greatly boosted.
And the arrival of Wang Chong's second brother Wang Xiao was like an introduction, and then a steady stream of troops came from all directions. The first to arrive was the people from Zhige Academy, Su Hanshan took Sun Zhiming, Fang Xuanying, Xu Qian, Chen Burang, Zhuang Buping, and Chi Weisi all rushed here.
These future "stars" of the Zhige Academy were sent by Wang Chong to the southwest, north court and other places to experience before. After the fight of blood and fire, each of them has made great progress.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Chong's request passed as quickly as possible, and Wang Chong's father Wang Yan and his eldest brother Wang Fu rushed to the Duhu Mansion in the west of the city as quickly as possible. Wang Chong prepared a large number of troop carriers on the Jingshi side in advance to transport the 20,000 troops to shorten the time.
On the other side, Yu Zhongtong, the protector of the capital of Annan, was requested by Wang Chong, and this time he also drank water and thought of the source, and transferred 8,000 elite troops of the capital of Annan to go to Wusheng.
- Among them, there are 4,000 men and horses who are elite cavalry, if it weren't for the special rules of the local capitals, Xian Yu Zhongtong would still want to send more soldiers and horses to Wang Chong.
Xian Yu Zhongtong and Wang Chong are completely fatal friendships tempered in blood and fire, life and death.
Not only that, although the troops were tight and there were not many troops that could be mobilized from all over the country, the imperial court still transferred an additional 10,000 soldiers and horses to Wang Chong, together with Wang Chong's father and eldest brother, and the army of Annan in the southwest, rushed to Wushu together. In addition, the greatest help given by the imperial court to Wang Chong was in terms of money.
This time, the imperial court allocated 10 million taels of gold to Wang Chong, including 5 million gold yuan coupons, which was enough for Wang Chong to hire a large number of soldiers and horses in the Western Regions.
Time passed slowly, every day there were a large number of soldiers and horses rushed to the city of black and wounded steel, Wang Chong tried his best to race against time, every day I don't know how many carrier pigeons, rock eagle flew to Talas, reconnaissance of the intelligence ahead, at the same time, Wang Chong also borrowed 10 million taels of gold allocated by the imperial court, recruited soldiers and horses, and enhanced his strength.
He even used the gold to hire 12,000 regular troops from the Great and Small Boru.
"Now, all that's left is the Extraterrestrial Meteorite!"
In the city of black and steel, in Wang Chong's mansion, the window opened, Wang Chong looked at a plum blossom that was about to bloom outside, and sighed in his heart. The current Moxi Capital Protector is ready for everything, only owes the east wind, although Wang Chong has done a lot of preparations, soldiers, horses, money and food, Uzi steel weapons...... , everything that can be done, Wang Chong has already done.
But deep in Wang Chong's heart, there is still a trace of deep regret, that is, the meteorite outside the sky.
Even if he is as powerful as Wang Chong, after being reborn, he has a lot of memories of his past life, but some things are still uncontrollable, and the extraterrestrial meteorite is one of them. Cousin Wang Liang has been searching for extraterrestrial meteorites overseas for a long time, and it stands to reason that he should have come back a long time ago, but I don't know why there is no news yet.
"I wonder how he's doing?"
Wang Chong said secretly in his heart.
However, even Wang Chong didn't know at this moment that the east coast of Datang, on the far other side, was attracting an unprecedentedly powerful fleet at this time.
"Get out of the way, the fleet is coming in!"
"Oh my God, whose fleet is this, why is the waterline so deep, how much cargo is loaded!"
"Don't you see? I don't even know the banner of the royal family in the capital, I really don't know anything!"
"Ahh......h
......
The craftsmen on the dock looked surprised, looking at the huge building ship that was several stories high, and one by one they retreated.
"Smack!"
Almost at the same time, the first ship landed, and a long rope ladder was thrown down the ship, and one after another, blackened by the sea breeze, slid down the rope ladder. Looking at the familiar world of Middle-earth, one by one they opened their arms and laughed:
"It's finally back again!"
Immediately after these crew members, a long wooden plank reinforced with a steel keel was erected high from the building ship in the sound of the machine, and then with a bang pushed the golden mountain and the jade pillar to fall. After a moment of silence, a thin, but extremely slender, figure appeared at the other end of the log bridge.
He was wearing a shabby brocade shirt, and he still maintained the demeanor of a child of the family. Years of drifting at sea have made his complexion dark, and there are many traces of wind and frost on his face, but those eyes are unprecedentedly bright, full of vitality and prestige.
"After more than half a year, I finally returned to Middle-earth......"
Wang Liang stood at the end of the wooden bridge, standing with his hands in his hands, looking out at the strong sea breeze blowing by, blowing his hair into a hunting dance. Wang Liang's aura was calm and heavy, like an experienced veteran who had sailed on the sea for decades, and it was hard to believe that he was actually only a young man of twenty-one or twelve years old.
"The Wang family is up and down, one is prosperous, and one is lost, cousin, I hope I didn't hold you back......"
The grinds of life, the hardships at sea, and the consideration of life and death have already made Wang Liang understand many truths that this young man should not understand, and also understand the true meaning of the Wang family, a family of generals and behemoths. The responsibilities of the family and the family, each of whom has a clear division of authority, can maintain the operation of this behemoth without falling apart.
The current Wang family, the tip of the spear is Wang Chong, he is the most dazzling existence in the entire Wang family of this generation, and it is also the key to maintaining the glory of the entire Wang family, which is irreplaceable. And Wang Liang himself is the end of this spear, the handle of the spear. While everyone's role is different, it plays an equal role.
Wang Liang didn't understand military affairs, nor did he understand Wang Chong's ambitions and plans, so he could only support Wang Chong, his cousin, and the entire Wang family in his own way.
......
In the flash of lightning, these thoughts flashed through his mind, and Wang Liang quickly came back to his senses, and his whole temperament was like a long sword out of the sheath, gradually becoming fierce and full of prestige. Turning around, Wang Liang waved his hand behind him, and at the same time shouted:
"Let's start unloading!"
The next moment, the building ship shook, and with Wang Liang's voice, the small cars of fine iron, dragging full piles of extraterrestrial meteoric iron, along the wooden plank bridge, quickly unloaded to the dock!
