Chapter 249: Changes Outside the Gate
Out of the conference hall, Lao Jiu looked at the busy figures everywhere in the Qilin base, and sighed with emotion in his heart. Let him give up everything here like this, he is really reluctant. Every time he has a favorite base, he has to be forced to leave, which makes him really helpless.
In fact, Lao Jiu also had a bad premonition in his heart, otherwise, he would not have made such a big decision just based on the feelings of a few women. Although Lao Jiu's political sense is not very keen, his sense of self-defense is super strong.
Feeling that something bad was going to happen recently, he didn't want to cause any serious losses because of his extremism. Especially now trained, these hundreds of thousands of troops. The level of these armies is basically over level 50.
It can be said that it took more than a year for Lao Jiu to train this batch of elite soldiers, if they were calculated by others and buried all their bones here, Lao Jiu would probably be really distressed to death. The most suspicious point is actually Lao Jiu's intelligence department.
They didn't even have a little information about the military movements in China. In the past, no matter how much or what kind of stuff, I could always collect some, but recently it has been very strange. Everything seemed peaceful, as if nothing was going on.
It was this kind of over-calmness that made Lao Jiu gradually suspicious. Therefore, he is not ready to risk these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and is ready to retreat in advance, even if nothing really happens, it is better than losing a bet.
Because he can't afford to lose at all, this is his family for more than a year, and he can lose some food, but the army definitely cannot.
Of course, if Lao Jiu wants to run away, everything needs to be low-key. He asked the various armies, escorting the booty, and began to retreat towards the Qilin base. At the same time, news came out that a grand celebration banquet was being held ten days later.
And released the news that it was necessary to integrate all kinds of armies, attack the interior of the Russian Empire, and snatch back the losses of burned grain. At the same time, Lao Jiu asked people to make a statement on the forum that if the Russian Empire did not compensate for this violation, then the Empire would retaliate against the Russian Empire.
If, after ten days, no compensation from the Russian Empire is obtained, then the Empire will send troops to the Russian Empire, capture the cities in the territory of the Russian Empire, and compensate itself by plundering.
As soon as Lao Jiu's statement came out, it immediately aroused the anger of the Russian Empire. Obviously, they suffered the most loss this time, and the Easy Empire turned around and asked them to compensate. This really stimulated the Russian Empire, and they also let out the words, they will do whatever it takes to take back everything that has been lost!
So the two sides began to fight a war of words on the forum. However, every night, Lao Jiu's army is also quietly withdrawing. But just two days later, the Russian Empire began to move in earnest, they began to gather a large number of troops, mobilize grain and grass, and seemed to be preparing to go south.
When Lao Jiu saw this formation, he felt that it was impossible not to do something. So he planned and began to gather a large number of troops outside the city of Amur, but he had his own plans.
Lao Jiu let the soldiers who did not retreat begin to assemble and organize a grain and grass collection team! All of a sudden, the two sides seemed to be once again caught in the tension of the war. Lao Jiu gathered an army of 400,000 in one day, and then divided the troops into four routes and began to move north. At the same time, there is also the corresponding grain and grass.
Of course, Lao Jiu must have his own ideas when he arranges it like this. His four-way army, there are two in the northeast, one in the north and one in the northwest. Except for the wilderness in the northwest, the other three armies have entered the dense forest.
Lao Jiu used the undead cavalry as a scout, directly cleaned up the enemy's intelligence system, and then entered the three armies in the mountains and forests, all of which were lost. There is only one purpose for this, that is, Lao Jiu uses He's Bi, and then transfers all the three-way army.
And the so-called Northwest Army, after 500 miles to the north, began to set up camp, seemingly waiting for the arrival of the Russian army. And the undead cavalry, which had been patrolling within a hundred miles of them, seemed to be defending against enemy sneak attacks.
But five days later, the situation has changed dramatically! The disappeared Three-Way Corps has been secretly transported to Xiaoyao Island by Lao Jiu using He's Bi. Even on the Northwest Wasteland, the seemingly tight camp is currently empty.
Since the spatial attributes of He's Bi can't be preserved, then Lao Jiu doesn't care about being exposed. As long as he has absolute strength to protect, he is not afraid that the other party will come to seize it! Although now on the surface, only the undead cavalry remains, but Lao Jiu has enough strength to be able to protect the entire undead army.
Although the current situation between Lao Jiu and the Russian Empire seems to be very tense, Lao Jiu's side has almost no precautions! can't stand any test at all, but Lao Jiu still chooses to gamble!
On October 13th, there will be ten more days of frost, and winter will begin in less than a month! For Lao Jiu of the autumn harvest, time is simply tight, don't want it. But the ships that came from Runaway had taken away his entire army.
At present, along the north and south boundary rivers, there are basically some agricultural NPCs for the autumn harvest. In ten days, the army of the Russian Empire has begun to move south, and it seems that everyone is looking forward to a head-to-head confrontation between Lao Jiu's army and the Russian army.
Although the fleet only carried 5 million people, it took away 100 million tons of grain and grass. Today's Guanwai, in addition to the 30 million NPC labor, it is Lao Jiu and 10,000 undead legions. On the morning of the 15th, news of Huaxia finally came from the military aircraft.
Through the teleportation array of the two major fortresses of the Qilin Jade Canyon Pass, a large number of Huaxia warriors came. At the same time, the commander of Hulunbuir City, led by the Yu family, was temporarily transferred back and replaced by someone from the Chen family.
At the same time, the Mongol Empire's army outside Hulunbuir began to march eastward, directly crossing the border line of the Russian Empire and pressing towards the grain production base north of the Jiehe River! And under the leadership of the Chen family, the 500,000 Chinese army went directly east along the boundary river!
How Lao Jiu hoped that all this was just his fantasy, but the fact had indeed happened. At the same time, the fleet on the southeast coast of China had already gone out for about five days in the name of ocean-going practice, and the warship groups on the eastern coast also went on a one-day trip under the pretext of acting.
At this point, Lao Jiu finally had to trust his instincts, and several major empires joined forces to attack him. Lao Jiu had to urgently recall the undead cavalry, and then stopped all grain harvesting projects.
So far, as of 18 October, only about 200 million tons of grain have been shipped to the Qilin base. There are still about 300 million tons of grain hoarded in the grain production base. In other words, in addition to nearly 100 million tons of grain burned by the Russian Empire, the grain that Lao Jiu transported back to Xiaoyao Island was less than 200 million tons!
But now the development of things is enough to show that the construction of Lao Jiu's grain base ended in failure.
"Report ...... The 500,000 troops of the Mongol Empire passed through the border defense line of the Russian Empire and pressed all the way to the grain base in Jiehebei! ”
"Report ...... The army of the Huaxia Legion is pressing east along the boundary river, and my northwest city has lost contact! ”
"Report ...... The Qilin Fortress has lost control, and at present, the Qilin Fortress has 50,000 elite soldiers, pressing towards the production base south of the River of our Realm! ”
"Report ...... The canyon fortress was occupied by the Huaxia army, and the Huaxia army is currently heading north, and the grain production base south of the river in our province is asking for rescue! ”
"Report ...... The coastal fleet east of China is currently coming to our Qilin Port to ask for instructions from the superiors! ”
"Report ...... The southeast coastal fleet of China, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, according to the final judgment, the probability of possibly going north is 95%, please instruct! ”
Listening to the news coming from outside the tent, Lao Jiu was almost numb. How he wished that it was all just his own imagination. But the reality is so cruel that it doesn't give him any buffer at all, because it's all planned.
Rubbing his cheeks vigorously with both hands, Lao Jiu walked out of the conference hall in Northeast City a little tired. The final order he gave was that all the farming NPCs should return to the city, and the rest would be left alone.
Walking on the streets of the Northeast City, looking at the returning citizens in the city, the panic on their faces. Lao Jiu's heart swelled up, an inexplicable sadness! This kind of repression of war seems to make them all identify their own fate, so everyone's face shows sadness.
Lao Jiu has always treated NPCs as real characters, so he is inexplicably sad in his heart. He didn't want to abandon his citymen, just like his citymen, who longed to be the people of the Empire.
"Bumping ......" walked aimlessly, and suddenly Lao Jiu felt a shock to his body, as if he had been hit by someone, and the whole person turned out to be an ancestor, and he almost didn't stand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, my father is sick, I'm in a hurry to find a doctor, I ......" Looking at the young man in front of him who was a little flustered, Lao Jiu's eyes were a little complicated.
"As long as it's not intentional!" Lao Jiu's eyes were a little complicated, and he stretched out his palm, wanting to pull up the young man sitting on the ground.
"Thank you for your generosity, my name is Fu Yiyi...... Sneered...... "Lao Jiu grabbed the other party's hand and took it with him, just listening to what he said, but at the same time as he got up, at some point, there was already an extra long sword in his hand, which happened to pierce Lao Jiu's chest.
"There is nowhere to vent your anger, how many times will you meet your bosom friend again? You don't think I don't even know my own things, do you? Lao Jiu smiled bitterly and looked at the hand he was holding helplessly.
At this time, on the middle finger of that hand, what he carried was the real dragon ring that Lao Jiu gave out. And above Lao Jiu's face, there was no anger, no unwillingness, and no loss, just a faint self-deprecation.
"Why?" At this time, a cold woman's voice came from the young man's mouth, she was tightly attached to Lao Jiu's arms, and asked with a puzzled face, frowning.
