Jiang Yuyan didn't expect that Dao Rong's first thought was the safety of the soldiers in the fortifications outside the city, and when he heard him say this, he was also a little relieved and appreciative in his heart.

Of course, he did not put the soldiers outside in the position of sacrifice, on the contrary, the soldiers of the outside fortifications, he had other tasks, not only not cannon fodder for sacrifice, but even the key point in the whole battle.

After all, from the perspective of the entire war situation, when the war breaks out, Mengyang City will soon fall into a state of siege, and in the siege, the communication and mutual support with the outside world will enter a relatively stagnant state, and there will be great problems in efficiency and stability.

So he replied: "The warriors in the outer fortifications have to take on the task of guarding on the one hand, which is something that has been arranged in the first place. ”

Dao Rong nodded: "In order to ensure that I can get the situation of the enemy outside the city as soon as possible, the soldiers I arranged in the past are the most shrewd and reliable, and they are the most effective people in charge of observing and judging the enemy situation in the array on weekdays. ”

Jiang Yu smiled recklessly: "In this regard, you have done a good job, I think you are worried about their safety, it is also because of the preciousness of these soldiers." ”

Dao Rong lowered his head slightly and replied seriously: "No, everyone is equally important in my mind, no matter what kind of soldiers they are, since they are the soldiers in my array, I am responsible for their lives." ”

Hearing this answer, Jiang Yuyan was a little surprised by Dao Rong's attitude, this serious attitude made Dao Rong's image in his mind a little better, and he continued to explain: "The safety of the soldiers, you can rest assured, they are by no means the ones who are sacrificed, on the contrary, they may also be the safest in the entire defense line around Mengyang City. ”

"The safest?" Dao Rong asked suspiciously.

"In addition to the garrison task, their most important task is to be responsible for the connection between Mengyang City and Manggu Castle, if Mang Castle is besieged, then they must assume the connection between Mang Castle and Mengyang City, and if the condition of Mang Castle is safe, but the situation of Mengyang City is critical, they must be responsible for the connection of Mang Castle to support Mengyang City." Jiang Yugang explained: "Compared with the soldiers in the city, they will be responsible for more support work like heralds, so the security is safer than the soldiers in the city. ”

"I see." After listening to Jiang Yuran's long explanation, Dao Rong nodded with some relief, and was a little stunned for a while because of the relatively complex tactical planning mentioned by Jiang Yuran, he didn't expect that in front of his array command, which was actually entrusted to the garrison work of Nancheng Tower, the military master actually had so many tactical arrangements that he didn't know.

So he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "But, military master, I have never heard of these things such as orders and support before, and I have not actually been in charge, and I am worried that there will be some problems in my command when the time comes." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I have already arranged for other apostles to go over through the Divine Hunting Academy, so that I can have enough power to dispatch personnel, and at the same time, I have also arranged for the people of the Secret Academy to assist in the defense with your subordinates, and they will carry out the work of issuing orders and supporting the dispatch at that time." Jiang Yugang explained: "You only need to focus on the defense of Nancheng Tower, and someone will naturally inform you how to do other things." ”

"Okay." Listening to Jiang Yu's answer, Dao Rong was also awe-inspiring. He didn't expect that Jiang Yugang had already arranged so many things in secret. As for Jiang Yu's arrangement, he didn't have any extra worries, the Divine Hunting Academy and the Mystical Academy were basically the places with the highest status in the Mang Castle except for the three craftsman departments of the Alchemy Academy, the Creation Academy, and the Heavenly Crafts Academy, and the things that came from them, no one else in the Mang Castle should not interfere too much, and they generally also shouldered the mission of the military master.

Dao Rong was silent for a while, watching the activities of the craftsmen with a few other people, while slowly thinking about the previous arrangements of the military master, suddenly, he had a thought: "Military master, what if Mengyang City and Mang Ancient Castle are under siege?" ”

This question was too sharp, and for a while everyone present fell into complete silence, Jiang Yugang did not answer immediately, and after seeing Jiang Yugang's reaction, Auma and Li Zhong both focused their eyes on Dao Rong, and some felt that he skipped what he said, and there were too many things mentioned, which was not something that he, an array commander, should ask.

But Jiang Yuyan can understand the mood of countless soldiers in Mengyang City on this night, they are also uneasy about the future war, especially after the news about the enemy's military intelligence spreads in the army, this uneasy mood is even more difficult to suppress, although all the soldiers have some negative emotions such as worries about defending the city, but I have to say that the military command ability of Mang Castle still exists, these soldiers from the people of Luchuan are not people who have not seen the war, Although it does not have a calm mentality from rich experience like other veterans of the Ming Army, it will not be flustered to the point of discouragement.

But in any case, the worry and fear caused by the strength of the Luchuan army in the military intelligence news cannot be eliminated, which even Jiang Yugang himself has.

Although this kind of public dissemination of military information will bring such negative effects, Jiang Yuxuan has not considered concealing it from the soldiers, and he will not choose to affect the overall situation of the battle situation in exchange for other benefits, of course, the rest of the various situations will be borne by himself, such as the mentality of the soldiers. However, Jiang Yu didn't think that hiding some things from the soldiers before the war would improve the mentality of the soldiers.

In fact, things are very simple in the end, and Jiang Yu's answer is also very simple: "If Mengyangcheng and Mang Castle are under siege, then we will each hold on to the end, the reinforcements from the Ming army camp of Mansi Zhai are now on the way, we just need to hold on and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and when the time comes, it will be when the Luchuan army is defeated." ”

"Reinforcements from the Barbarian Temple Camp Battalion?" Dao Rong asked, he already regarded himself as a member of the Ming army when he spoke, but if Meng Yangcheng was defeated, he would probably return to the identity of the people of Luchuan, and he would have nothing to do with the Ming army, which Jiang Yugang would not tell him.

Jiang Yu nodded affirmatively: "That's more than 10,000 elite Ming troops, their combat strength is not something that the Luchuan Bureau can resist, as long as we hold the fortress long enough and don't need to defeat the enemy, we can wait for the final victory." ”

"Can we win, Master?" This is Dao Rong's last question. This question used to be a question that Auma also asked, maybe among the few people present, only Li Chong trusted Jiang Yugang enough and did not completely regard himself as a relatively independent individual, but as Jiang Yugang, the entourage of the military master, he looked at this problem and did not need to question the military master's affairs too much.

However, at this time, the other three all looked at Jiang Yugang, waiting for Jiang Yugang's answer.

"Yes." Jiang Yuyan nodded firmly: "I must be able to." ”

·····················

The blockade of the South Tower lasted for almost two hours, and when the gate was completely sealed, the sky began to become cloudy. Dao Rong had already gone to rest, while Auma was one step ahead of Jiang Yu and went to the Beicheng Tower first.

Jiang Yugang didn't keep supervising the work, found a tent where no one was, and rested quietly alone, waiting for the end of the blockade work, Li Zhong followed him, Meng Liang was not there, he took on Jiang Yugang's escort work, and naturally he had to follow him closely.

In the end, Jiang Yuyan only inspected the work of blocking the city gate, and did not ask too much about the South City Tower.

After all, the South City Tower is not the main defense location of Mengyang City, but is mainly a support center for information exchange, and the burden of defense is not heavy, but more about functionality, and the development of functionality has not yet begun.

The intelligence work from Mang Castle to Meng Yangcheng, Jiang Yugang arranged for several commissioners of the Secret Academy, one of the most important of which was his main bodyguard, Meng Liang, the alternate secretary general of the Heavenly Hall of the Secret Academy, and the transmission of information was actually related to Dao Yunyue of the original Mang Ancient Castle Heavenly Academy.

In the first battle of Nansang Village, Jiang Yugang actually relied on the secret tunnels existing in Nansang Village to escape, as well as later tactical design, but this time, the communication between Mang Ancient Fort and Mengyang City that Jiang Yugang needed was also needed a safe and secret way of communication.

This task is undertaken by another underground passage, and this kind of underpass is not a rare existence in Luchuan, because many buildings are actually built on the mountain, and these buildings often have some designs similar to underpasses, and these underpasses will appear with the change of terrain.

In Mengyang City, there is such a once abandoned secret passage, which can be secretly led from the inside of Mengyang City to a dense forest outside the city, this secret passage is part of the former Mengyang City wall, and it was once used as a passage for secret retreat from the city to the outside of the city.

But as time passed, the walls of Mengyang City were rebuilt several times, and this former secret passage was slowly abandoned. After Jiang Yugang took over part of the defense of Mengyang City, he began to arrange for the members of his secret academy to enter the city to inspect all parts of the city wall, almost meter by meter, to check whether there were potential safety hazards that he did not find, so as not to master any special way for the Luchuan army to enter Mengyang City and enter Mengyang City in a very short period of time, making it difficult for the Ming army in the city to defend.

The investigation of the city wall, because it is necessary to check the structure of the building, so as not to have any unknown loopholes or secret passages, so Jiang Yugang also arranged for craftsmen from the Tiangong Institute who are familiar with the construction of Luchuan to assist in the inspection. It's just that the secret passage is no longer passable because of disrepair.

So Jiang Yuyan notified Dao Yunyue without notifying the other Ming army officers in Mengyang City, who was directly responsible for the repair of this secret passage, and after the repair, he undertook the secret communication between Mang Ancient Castle and Mengyang City.

And the defensive work arrangement at the South City Tower came to an end at this time, and he also rushed to the North City Tower with Li Zhong at this time, where he prepared for the final decisive battle. To the north of the North City Tower, there are also many members of the Observation Hall of the Secret Academy who are active, and they also have the final intelligence work before the war, transmitting the information of the Luchuan Army outside Mengyang City back to Mengyang City as soon as possible, and coming to Mengyang City with the most accurate military intelligence information, preparing for the final battle.
