【Second Update】

……

As Li Qing expected, the next morning, the sky was only bright, and in the camp of the Holy Light Alliance, the horns sounded in unison, and the gongs and drums were noisy.

The alliance camp opened its door, and a group of soldiers and horses stepped out of the camp gate, and the footsteps were earth-shattering. The clashing of armor and equipment, the neighing of horses, the sound of officers' commands, the rustling of wooden wheels of various vehicles on the ground...... Gathered into a huge uproar, from the coalition camp five kilometers away, all the way to the head of the city.

When there was a big movement in the camp of the Holy Light Alliance, the sentries on duty at the head of the city reported the news to Li Qing and the commanders of the various troops.

At this moment, Li Qing, Su Su, Xiaolongnu and others, as well as the commanders of the various units of the mixed army, all gathered at the head of Guancheng, stood on the top of an enemy platform, and looked at the coalition camp opposite.

"Pouring out of the nest?"

After looking at it for a while, he saw that there was an endless stream of teams in the seven camps, and on the school field in the seven camps, there were also neat phalanxes, obviously waiting to leave the camp in order, Li Qing couldn't help but move slightly, and said: "The coalition army is really enthusiastic, and the general will only take office the next day, so he put on such a big battle...... Is this trying to give me a dismount? ”

"Gun carts, shield carts, climbing carts, turrets, trebuchets...... The siege equipment is complete in variety and quantity, and I have seen no less than fifty large-caliber siege guns with long barrels alone......"

The little dragon goddess said solemnly: "It's really pouring out, do you want to be so enthusiastic?" We have only been here for the second day, and don't we say that the enemy camp on the opposite side has been attacking for two weeks, and nearly 20,000 people have been killed and wounded? With 20,000 casualties, the casualty rate has reached 20%, but they have not even climbed the top of the city once. This kind of war damage, this kind of record...... How could the coalition still be able to fight? With the morale of the servant army, how could they still have the courage to continue the siege? I didn't hear that reinforcements arrived overnight last night! ”

If reinforcements arrive overnight, and the number is large, there will definitely be a big movement, and it will not be able to hide the night sentry on duty at the head of the city here. There are few of them, and they don't make much sense, and they can't have the effect of boosting morale - unless they come to a small super-powerful legion with the ability to make a final decision, such as the Knights of the Cathar or something.

"Regardless of whether reinforcements from the coalition army arrive, there will inevitably be a fierce battle today." Li Qing looked around at the commanders of the various units and said, "Everyone, please return to your respective posts and prepare for battle." ”

The commanders of the various units were awe-inspiringly ordered.

After the mixed officers and the officers dispersed, Li Qing continued to look at the opposite side.

I saw that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses had already driven out of the camp on the opposite side and assembled into a formation. As the saying goes, there are 10,000 people, and there is no shore. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered, armor and weapons glittered in the morning sun, gathered together, it was simply a sea of light.

There are also tall arrow towers, climbing vehicles, and stone lifters, standing in the midst of the dark enemy formation, looking like towering giants. Even at a distance of five kilometers, it can still give people a huge oppressive force.

While observing, Li Qing suddenly heard the sound of tearing plastic bags from the side. When I looked sideways, I saw Su Su tearing open a pack of spicy strips, muttering in his mouth: "It's such a big battle, I am scared to death, I have to wrap spicy strips to suppress the shock." ”

Li Qing laughed: "Su Su, you have even seen the battles of millions of armies and tens of millions of troops, and that little scene on the other side can scare you?" If you want to have a snack, just say it, don't say these excuses that no one will believe. ”

Su Su picked up a spicy strip, chewed it with relish, and said with reluctance: "Isn't that person afraid of eating snacks to shake morale?" That's just an excuse! ”

"The mixed legions stationed in Guancheng now are all veterans of a hundred battles. There are dangers, there are strong cities, there are strong people as backing, the equipment is well-equipped, and the materials are abundant, how can the morale be shaken casually? ”

Li Qingxiao: "Don't say that you eat spicy noodles, as the head coach, even if I put a table of mahjong here and rub it a few laps with you, the soldiers will not only not waver in morale, but will be greatly boosted by the calm and composure of the boss." ”

"Speaking of spicy strip......s," Xiaolongnu said suddenly: "There seems to be an exposure in the news recently, the production environment of spicy strips is very dirty, and the sewage flows sideways, that's really." Didn't you watch Susu? ”

A month before, during the journey to the Southern War Zone, Xiaolongnu and the others often returned to their homes on Earth through the half-plane turnaround. So as not to show up for a long time and arouse the suspicion of the family. Even if you go home often, everyone can pay attention to the news and everything from time to time.

"Of course I did." Su Su said with a solemn expression: "I really didn't expect that the current food manufacturers are so unscrupulous. The conscience of the capitalists...... Tsk, this food safety is really not guaranteed at all! When I saw the news exposed, I thought that the small bags of snacks I often eat may have been produced in that environment, but I was frightened, and I quickly ate several packs of spicy strips to suppress my ......"

As she spoke, she looked scared. But as soon as he finished speaking, he picked up another spicy strip and bit off half of it with a whin.

"......" The little dragon girl blinked, was speechless for a while, and simply spread her hands: "You, a mage with an average physique, are not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Come, give me a few spicy strips too, chew some spicy hot ones to warm up. ”

"How many spicy strips? You're embarrassed to say it. Am I that stingy? ”

Su Su pursed his lips and took out a large handful of spicy strip packets from the storage bag: "Either you don't want it, or you want the whole bag!" Come on, come on, I have a lot of spicy strips here, one pack per person...... Let's eat some, spicy and spicy, warm up, and stay for a while to kill the pain. ”

So the big guys each had a pack of spicy strips, and even Flora got a pack.

Li Qing, Xiaolongnu, Scarlett, and Chu Lingfeng, who are not afraid of spicy, eat with relish, as if nothing happened, Song Qiqi and Ni Yuanyuan, who are afraid of spicy, eat with red lips and sweat on the tip of their noses.

After only one sip, Flora's brows furrowed as if she had been poisoned, and she kept hissing and inhaling.

But seeing that Song Qiqi and Ni Yuanyuan were also like her, so spicy that they kept inhaling, but they still kept eating, Flora also mustered up her courage, frowned and chewed in small bites.

After chewing for a while, I felt that the more I ate, the more enjoyable I felt, although it was so spicy that I was sweating, I couldn't stop. After a while, a pack of spicy strips gave her a fine meal. She sucked her fingers unsatisfied, but when she saw Su Su looking at her with a smile, she hurriedly put her hand down and put it behind her back, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"I haven't eaten enough, I still have it here, I don't need to lick my fingers." Su Su said with a smile, took out another pack of spicy strips and handed it to Flora: "Since I have promised to cover you, of course you are my person." Follow me, the spicy strips are full. ”

Li Qing was funny, and said in his heart that others are "follow me, there is meat to eat", you little girl is good, you actually say what to follow me, spicy noodles are full.

He said in his heart that if Su Su handed him a pack of spicy noodles and wanted to recruit him as a junior brother when he met him for the first time, then he would definitely refuse to say solemnly: Do you think a pack of spicy noodles can get me? Why don't you need a pack of gold bars?

When Li Qing was secretly amused in his heart, Flora looked at the spicy strips handed to her, and she couldn't pick it up, and she didn't accept it, and she was extremely embarrassed for a while. After being at a loss for a while, she took the spicy strip and whispered under Su Su's encouraging gaze, "Thank you." ”

The enemy platform was higher than the city wall, and Li Qing and his entourage stood on the enemy platform to share the spicy noodles, and they were all in the view of the officers and soldiers in the city.

And just as Li Qing expected, in the face of the enemy's army pressing the city, the commander was calm, and he was still in the mood to talk and laugh and eat snacks, which made the soldiers of the mixed army, who were already experienced in a hundred battles and not afraid of the battle array, even more relieved. The calmness of Li Qing and others is regarded as a table of victory in the hand and bamboo in the chest.

At the same time, the commander of the Holy Light Alliance, Viscount Tullock, who has the rank of lieutenant general, is standing on a wooden tower in the main camp, holding a monocular, looking at the gate on the opposite side.

Tullock is forty-four years old, in the prime of his life. He has lion-like blonde hair and a lion-like build. What stands out to him most is his large jaw, which is hard and square, like a piece of iron. The huge chin protruded forward, which looked more prominent than his nose, gave people a strange sense of stubbornness.

And Viscount Tullock is indeed an extremely stubborn person. When he made a decision, no subordinate could change his determination. Sometimes he even realizes that his decision is wrong, but as long as the decision has been made, he still has to follow through to maintain his authority.

This kind of character has caused him a lot of trouble, but it has also won the appreciation of many big people. This time, it was a big man who appreciated him and recommended him to command this army of servants.

And last night, after learning that a new Imperial Legion had come to change the guard in Guancheng, and that the big man who appreciated him was about to lead the army to this place, he made another decision.

He decided to devote this servant army, which had more than 80,000 men left after two weeks of fierce fighting, to today's offensive at once. No matter how heavy the price is, he must test the information he wants to repay the great man's appreciation.

As for the morale that had fallen during the two-week offensive due to heavy casualties but not an inch of success, he could not control so much.

He is not very proficient in military affairs, so he only needs to make decisions and give instructions. Commanding specific operations and boosting morale are all tasks of subordinate officers.

He only wants the result, not the process.

Holding up the binoculars and looking at them for a while, Tullock suddenly sighed, "Those two imperial generals...... You're so young! ”

This sigh was obviously made by Li Qing and Xiaolongnu. Looking at the radiant Li Qing and Xiaolongnu in the telescope lens, and looking at the shining stars on their shoulders, a sense of awkwardness and jealousy rose in Tullock's heart uncontrollably.

He snorted coldly and said, "So young, who looks like he is only in his twenties, can actually become a general...... It seems that the army of the Empire, as they advertise, only focuses on military merit, regardless of background. ”
