"Before we go back to Group B, we have to figure out a very important issue. ”

As soon as Yan Yueque returned to Jiacheng, she immediately held a strategic meeting. Right now, as a military advisor, Taijing is giving priority to speaking.

"—Where did the reinforcements that suddenly appeared in your own city come from?"

The meeting in City A also opened a video call with City C, and Ge Shuchong, who had participated in the Battle of Jicheng, couldn't help but say on the other side:

"I sensed it clearly before, there are absolutely no extra soldiers and horses in my city, otherwise I will not rush in rashly no matter how reckless I am!"

Sitting next to him was Lian Huacan, who was left behind by him in the previous battle, struggling all the way in the enemy army, and still has only half of his life bar left. He had a gloomy face from the beginning, and after being urged by his companion, he snorted impatiently twice and replied:

"At that time, I just thought that if my city was so generous in leading us to pursue, maybe there was another conspiracy. As for the breath...... I really don't have any special feelings. ”

After getting his testimony, Ge Shuchong looked even more proud, while Lian Huacan glared at him fiercely. He won't forget that he still has an account to settle with him!

"Perhaps...... It's Gengcheng!" When everyone looked at each other and guessed, Cen Ling suddenly raised his head.

"Think about it, from the very beginning, we and Group B were allocated equal resources, and there could be no special abilities that they had that we didn't, if anything...... It's Gengcheng!"

Cen Ling has a point. "If Group B originally had this ability to teleport instantly, then when we attacked Dingcheng, they would be able to reinforce them, and they wouldn't let us capture Dingcheng...... The only explanation is that this ability was obtained after the fall of Dingcheng! that is, after they captured Gengcheng......"

"So I said a long time ago that I should have knocked Gengcheng down earlier!" Yan Yueque slapped the table in front of him, "Feng Boliang is still bent on going his own way...... She has to take this responsibility!"

"You can't blame her for everything. "If we directly attack Gengcheng on the first day, the full-scale battle with Group B will also be advanced, and at that time, the casualty number will be about the same......

Yan Yueque didn't listen to his analysis, Huo Ran stood up and raised his voice: "Anyway, the top priority is to quickly defeat Gengcheng!

Yu Taijing persuaded again: "City Lord, the previous battle was a great loss of vitality, and now the soldiers need to rest and recuperate...... Besides, it is said that the terrain of Gengcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack......"

Yan Yueqi made a strong decision: "I don't care, I'm the commander-in-chief, I will fight if I say I want to fight!"

As a result, a group of wounded soldiers in Group A, without even formulating a strategy, set out again and marched towards Gengcheng.

Feng Boliang did not object. Yan Yueque saw that she really recognized her status, but she just snorted coldly and galloped past her with a horse toe.

……

In the first battle with Gengcheng, Group A was really embarrassed to score.

On the tower of the city, a strengthened version of the bow and crossbow was erected early, and the rain of arrows was irregularly strafing in all directions, and the soldiers of Group A could only dodge dangerously, and it was difficult to charge forward.

Similarly, the cooperation of the generals defending the city of Gengcheng is also tacitly understood. Compared to the original siege warfare, now the trialists of Group B have successfully settled in, and under their manipulation, they have turned dead traps into living weapons, and with the addition of a fully armed virtual army, the power is incomparable.

Although Yan Yueque lost his temper and shouted that whoever dared to take a step back, I would slash him with a knife, but it was still difficult to resist the defeat that retreated like a tide. In the end, they could only turn around and withdraw from Gengcheng in embarrassment.

Fortunately, except for a few virtual soldiers who were injured by arrows, there were no large-scale casualties in this battle. Thanks to Feng Boliang and Rong Xiao, when they attacked the city, they were always committed to protecting their subordinates and building a solid barrier for the army.

Although Yan Yueque said with a calm face, if they also joined the battle, maybe Gengcheng would have been captured. However, in the hearts of the low-level soldiers, a general who does not care about the life and death of soldiers, and a commander who can treat the whole army equally, it is naturally the latter who is more popular with the people. Even though Yan Yueque was still unconvinced, she didn't want to offend the anger of the public, so she had to give up.

After collecting troops and returning to the city, Feng Boliang held an extraordinary meeting again.

"The cities in Group B are now connected into an iron plate, and I'm afraid that in a short period of time, it will not be so easy for us to take down. ”

However, that doesn't mean they don't have flaws. ”

"When the granary is open, they will have to carry the grain, right? We can take this opportunity to do something to their grain and grass......

According to the rules of the trial, in a clearing about fifty miles away from the city, there was a granary, and every once in a while, the granary would be automatically opened as a supply for the warriors.

The granary cannot be destroyed and is shared by both groups. Each city had to send soldiers with grain wagons to the granaries to collect them. It can be escorted by the general, or it can be transported by the baggage soldiers assigned by the system. But if there is no strong player in the team, it is very likely that the food will be snatched or burned by the other team.

Once the Grain is taken, the team will not be able to collect the Grain and Grass in the Warehouse until the next Grain Silo is opened. If they can't manage to get each other's food and grass, then in the short term, I'm afraid they will only have to go hungry.

The configuration of the grain silo is simple, there are two warehouses, which are supplied to the AB two groups. When the grain and grass are just produced, each group can only receive their own grain and grass, for example, group A can only take the grain and grass from warehouse A, but cannot seize or destroy the grain and grass in warehouse B.

Once the grain and grass are transported out of the granary, it becomes an ownerless thing that can be exchanged at will. For example, after group A transports grain out of the warehouse, there is a risk of being snatched by group B. Group A, which has lost grain and grass, will not be able to transport grain from its own house or warehouse B even if it returns to the granary. They can only wait for the opportunity to take back the grain and grass taken away by Group B, or wait for Group B to transport grain from the B warehouse and then snatch it.

"Until then, we will not move for the time being, and use this time to train the army well. When the time comes, let's make a beautiful comeback!"

This meeting was almost entirely made by Feng Boliang. Yan Yueque, who was sitting beside her, although he had a cold face and was full of dissatisfaction, he did not have a way to capture Gengcheng. A rash provocation will only embarrass oneself even more.

As for Mo Gucheng, he didn't participate in the meeting directly. Including the attack on Gengcheng, he was also absent throughout the whole process. But the others were used to his misfits, and no one said much.

As a result, Group A entered a short period of recuperation.

On the side of Group B, although some people proposed to take this opportunity to chase and fight hard and completely wipe out Group A, Yan Lilin knew very well that there were many strong people in Group A, and it was better not to take action easily before knowing their further plans.

Respond to change with the same. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. First of all, the overall quality of the army has been improved, and when the war resumes, it will be able to win the battle.

For several days in a row, the two groups trained their troops separately, and the well water did not interfere with the river water. But all this calmness is just waiting for the granary to open, and a more violent outbreak is brewing.

……

On this day, Sikong Sheng was practicing in the open field.

Mu Hansha, who was also going out to practice, greeted him with some surprise.

"Early. ”

"Why did you get up so early to practice?" and then, he asked curiously.

In the past, Sikong Sheng, the young master had a stronger temper than anyone else, and when he was fine, he could stay in bed until noon. Why is it that now that you have entered the trial space, you have become more diligent?

Sikong Sheng was still excitedly moving his legs and feet: "Because I think that the feeling of meritorious service is really very good! If there is any task that can be meritorious next time, give it to me again!"

It turned out that he was just because he was a "bait" in the offensive and defensive battle of his own city, so he wished to come a few more times. If he can really be determined to work hard because of this, it would be a good thing, but I am afraid that it will always be three minutes of heat. Mu Hansha thought like this, and couldn't help laughing:

"If you are really so positive, you don't need to do anything, as long as you and Jiang Caini don't quarrel a few times, it will already be a great achievement for us. ”

"Speaking of that crazy woman......" Sikong Sheng slowed down his tone, pressed his chest with one hand, and looked up at the sky with a bitter face, "I have to say a few words to the camera and my fans and friends here......"

"I think they're going to just switch channels. After Sikong Sheng carried out the "grievance mode", Mu Hansha muttered to himself.

In the webcast room, there are 7 channels for this mission, corresponding to the seven cities. Viewers are free to choose the channel and watch the live broadcast, while the other channels they missed can watch the replay afterwards.

Except for a few people with military talents, most of the audience just watched the fun. They don't care how this group of laymen fights, all they want to watch is their idols, how to be handsome in the show, how to be majestic, and how to beat the enemy to kneel and beg for mercy......

If you judge by the popularity of the trialists in your own city, 99% of the girls would rather watch Fengqiwu swallow melon seeds than watch Sikong Sheng's miserable outpouring.

……

Gengcheng.

Guan Lin, dressed in Seiko armor, walked in front of the phalanx of virtual soldiers, examining their formations, and sometimes shouted slogans:

"One, two! Turn right, stand still—"

Under his command, the virtual soldiers are all carried out according to the slogan. Whether it is the queue or the practice of marksmanship, there is an impeccable momentum.

Jian Zhiheng happened to walk by from the sidelines, and when he saw the completely different side of his good brother, he couldn't help but stop and watch silently. waited until Guan Lin's training was over, and then he applauded vigorously and strolled forward.

"You're handsome, Linden, who are you?"

As soon as Guan Lin saw him, the awe-inspiring aura of a soldier from before suddenly dissipated without a trace. His gaze was downcast, and he was back to the shy teenager he was.

"Group A hasn't done much these days, but I don't think we can take it lightly. So whenever I have time, I will take the soldiers to practice and practice, hoping that they can always be in the best condition......"

"You've done a very good job!" Jian Zhiheng patted him on the shoulder excitedly, "You don't know how handsome you looked at the training just now! I really regret not recording it for you! If you continue like this, you can be like Uncle Guan and be a fast catcher!"

For a moment just now, he really felt that Guan Lin, who was wearing armor, was like a natural catcher.

In the past, he would always say that his father was very tall and handsome when he wore a fast suit. Now Jian Zhiheng thought to himself, it must be the same chic appearance. Their father and son are really suitable for this outfit.

"Don't make fun of me...... Guan Lin dodged his gaze, "To be a fast catcher is to serve the people." But now, I don't even dare to talk to others with my head up, how can I protect the people......"

When he was alone just now, he could indeed imitate his father and train freely. Because he knew very well that these virtual soldiers were inanimate, and they would neither laugh at him nor resist him. If he was to face a group of real soldiers...... There was absolutely no way he would have had the courage to stand in front of them.

Jian Zhiheng didn't want him to give up: "Don't worry! There will always be a time when you will be in charge! Maybe there will be a chance on the battlefield this time? What's more, being a fast catcher like your father is your original dream, have you forgotten?"

"The original dream has long been abandoned...... Guan Lin smiled at him, but his eyes were no longer bright when he was training, "Didn't I decide when I was in the high department, I want to be a singer in the future, and I want to travel around the world with you?"

"And I don't have to be on my own...... Because at all times, you will be with me, with me, that is what you promised me, didn't you?"

Linden...... Jian Zhiheng was suddenly a little speechless for a while. The former Guan Linden, he resisted the whole world, and it was he who pulled him out of that desperate darkness. But ever since, he has been relying on himself, like the only island of soul on the boundless sea level, which can cling to him......

Guan Linden, who relies on himself in this way, has not gone to the other extreme?

He was the most confident and the most real him just now. After watching Guan Lin's training scene, Jian Zhiheng firmly believed this. The question is, he has never dared to take this step, what can be done to help him affirm his self-worth and let him find his true self——?

……

Another few days passed.

The granary is finally about to be opened for the first time.

Group A side.

"What, tunnel warfare?"

Feng Boliang nodded: "Yes, this is also what I have come up with in the past few days." Since there is no way to storm it, then dig a tunnel and go straight to the inside of the city from underground!"

"After the last attack, at least we can be sure of something. Gengcheng can teleport to friendly cities, but soldiers from other cities cannot teleport to Gengcheng in reverse. That is to say, as long as we enter Gengcheng and take them in the shortest possible time, the other cities will not have time to rescue. ”
