Chapter Ninety-Four: No Last Resort
This time, Higg was not as idle as before, and the reason why he was idle at the beginning of the construction of the city was that many problems and troubles had not yet come to the fore, but now with the establishment of the prototype of the Interior Office, the influx of refugees, the expansion of the size of the army, the rise of industry and mining, the prosperity of the market, and the improvement of its reputation, one problem after another has emerged.
Although the city is still being built in an orderly manner, Higg has also begun to worry about the future of the city, feeling that too many bottles and cans are also a burden.
Every day, he has to deal with a mountain of official documents, approve purchases, appoint officials, and give advice to all walks of life, except for the occasional Waltella to go to the workshop to burn the fire, Higg is basically an otaku, and he doesn't even have time to inspect the army, and he doesn't shave his beard at all, he just grows it up, anyway, it will be longer tomorrow if he shaves it today, it's a waste of time.
Waltai was very dissatisfied with Higg, he came out with Higg to make some shocking boutiques by borrowing Higg's fire spirit beads, and was appointed by Higg as the head of the arsenal, and every day he produced a large amount of garbage that he had never looked at before, and he had no time to do any high-quality objects, and from time to time he was yelled at by merchants urging goods.
Nicole was also very dissatisfied with Higg and even allowed herself to become a pirate! In addition to training the navy, the Fuxing not only had to deal with Arad's patrol ships, but also went out to rob, and sometimes turned into a merchant ship to pull food, a dignified princess of the alchemy country, the captain of the Fuxing battleship, was actually a pirate leader, a chief instructor of sailors, and the captain of the grain transportation team, and eight out of ten days were adrift at sea.
Rogson was also very unhappy with Higg, and his recruitment and Charlie's recruitment often had to contradict each other. But Higg never protected him, always said that now it is centered on urban construction, so that the quality of his troops is average, and he has to ask for people everywhere, give various preferential policies, increase military salaries, increase allowances, etc., and the weapons and equipment are also dealt with first, and he always receives the equipment last.
Charlie is also very dissatisfied with Higg, the construction period is tight, and the materials cannot be in place in time, and when recruiting workers, he also said that he should let himself take care of Rogson's emotions, and he seems to be the commander-in-chief of the construction of Fuxing City, but who listens to him, Old Man Hua, Nicole, Rogson? Or Denelson and Snowlin? He didn't dare to mess with anyone! But where something went wrong, it was always me who was trained.
Denilson was also very dissatisfied with Higg, and the number of refugees increased by more than 100,000, but he did not allocate materials to build new camps, saying that it was to encourage refugees to build their own villages, and then subsidized the gold coins that were originally built into camps to the refugees, causing the new refugees to fight and mourn every day in order to compete for good places.
Snorlin was also very dissatisfied with Higg, since the founding of the city, he maintained the law and order of Fuxing City, and now the population has increased so much, the security officers have only added a hundred to him, and a total of only 600 security teams manage this area of more than 500,000 people, and he is not allowed to be too violent, and he is not allowed to bully the weak. Whoever is weak, the weakest is himself.
Higg is very dissatisfied with everyone, and he has to report bullshit, he has no idea at all, and he doesn't use his brain? What bullshit respects the opinions of leaders and does not dare to make claims? Do you want to shirk responsibility? What can't be smarter than the leader, in front of the leader to know convergence. I'm sorry, if you come up with a small idea or a small plan, you dare to say that you are smarter and more capable than the leader?
Four months later, Charlie's Home Office was finally nearing completion; Denilson, who is in charge of the refugees, saw that the food grown by the refugees could be harvested in a month; Rogson's military training was beginning to bear fruit; Huatai's order is also almost completed; Nicole who had been adrift at sea for four months had finally grabbed enough food and didn't want to be a pirate anymore; The weather is starting to warm so that the refugees no longer have to fight for a small dilapidated house, they have begun to gradually have their own careers, and Snorlin is finally less worried about security.
Higg finally had time to shave, but when he walked to the mirror, he was reluctant, and it was good to keep it, at least it was much more mature and majestic.
What made Higg even more relieved was that he expected his other five warships to be launched, and they would be delivered in a month, plus two months of sailing, and in three months, he would have a fleet that completely belonged to Fuxing City.
And Daniel, who promised to come back to him in a year, and in three months, he could come to him.
What fascinated him the most was the five-year appointment with Lan Xian'er, which turned out to be more than three months later! This woman, who has not forgotten her voice and smile for five years, is also coming to join him.
Is this all a coincidence, since it is a coincidence, it is better to be a little more coincidental and get Thomas, Pantony and Butterfly Caiyun back. I wonder if they blindly broke up a long time ago because they were dead? Thomas, the son of the steppe chief, is definitely the material for cavalry, and Pantony, a good mining player, don't be a pity, hehe!
"Lord of the Castle!" The soldier came in and reported: "The big boss is back!" ”
"What, Shanter?" Higg stood up in surprise and asked, "Where is he?" ”
"Hey, hey! Got a beard? "I saw Shante standing at the entrance of the cave, facing Higg.
"Shante! Hahaha" Hig laughed: "What, you figured it out, do you want to come back to help me?" ”
"Think beautifully!" Shante smiled: "I just led the troops through here to come and see you!" ”
"Leader?" Higg was stunned for a moment and asked, "To fight?" ”
"General Colenva is ready to take the city of Misland and pull out this nail!" Shante said.
"Colenva only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and there are 60,000 troops of Saknin to the north of Similan, how can he pull nails?"
Shante said with a smile: "The last time the pirates were exterminated, the Empire's sea transportation lines were proudly unimpeded, and Colenva's plan was a great achievement, so three stars became four stars, and now they command 100,000 troops!" ”
Higg wondered: "100,000 people dare to eat 60,000 people?" ”
"Of course, with the consent of His Majesty, 20,000 men were each transferred from the other two nearby armies to reinforce Colenva! Sakning's group of magicians has been hit hard, so it's entirely possible to pull out this nail! ”
Higg sneered, "You have reinforcements, and the enemy doesn't have reinforcements?" ”
Shante smiled: "General Kolunva has made up his mind, I can only obey!" ”
Higg nodded and said, "140,000 attack 60,000, if it is fast, it is not impossible to quickly defeat the enemy reinforcements before they arrive!" ”
Shante smiled: "It's not a defeat, it's a total annihilation!" ”
"What?" Higg said in surprise: "140,000 want to annihilate 60,000, is your general crazy?" ”
Seeing that Shante just smiled and didn't speak, Higg asked, "What is your mission and why did you pass through here!" ”
"Stop the enemy reinforcements!" Shante smiled bitterly.
"Map!" Higg shouted to his guards.
A huge map was placed on the table, and Higg quickly found the location of the city of Mithran, and then searched the surrounding forces, as well as the surrounding terrain.
Pointing to a location on the map, Higg said to Shante, "You see, the closest enemy military force to the city of Misland is the city of Echenwu, where 40,000 troops are stationed, the configuration is unknown, and the distance is two hundred kilometers. If Colenwa launched an attack on Sakhinin, and Sakin found out that something was wrong, it was estimated that it would take half a day to light the beacon fire, and it would only take an hour to reach Echenu after the relay, that is, with mobilization preparations, the city of Echenu would be able to respond within a day after Sakning was attacked, and if it came out, the cavalry would arrive within a day, and the infantry would arrive at the latest in two days! ”
Shanji nodded and said with a smile: "General Colenva also analyzed it like this!" ”
Higg asked in surprise, "He knows?" He knew he was still so risky? Do you know that you are going to hold off the enemy on the plains for at least five days, if not longer? How many soldiers did you bring to stop you? ”
"Three thousand cavalry elites, I personally selected!" Shante smiled bitterly.
Hig was stunned by Colenva's crazy moves, thinking about how these 3,000 cavalry could intercept the opponent's 40,000 soldiers and horses, even if the cavalry had an advantage on the plains, but the opponent's 40,000 soldiers and horses were at least 6,000 to 8,000 cavalry!
"Hahaha!" Higg burst out laughing, "General Colenva really has a last resort! ”
Shante smiled bitterly: "General Kolenwa asked me to set off in advance, reorganize and rest here with you, and wait for orders!" ”
Higg smiled: "You already know that three thousand cavalry will definitely not be able to stop the enemy's reinforcements, why do you still accept this mission, you will die, you will die, you know?" ”
"The military order is like a mountain!"
Higg was so angry that he almost fainted, and said: "He asked you to come to me to rest and recuperate, and let you tell you his plan, because he knows that I will not let you go to death, in that case, I can only send troops to help you fight together, haha!" Shante, you know this plan of your general, right? ”
Yamaji nodded and said, "You don't want to fight alongside me?" ”
"Hahaha!" Higg smiled, "Pity you and I have been together for so long, experienced life and death together, fought together, you don't know me as well as your general!" I could have put Nicole on the list of goods, but I would never see her die. You are the same, you understand? ”
Shante hurriedly said: "Hig, I am telling you this to tell you that this blocking mission is difficult, in fact, I don't want you to participate in the war, even if I don't mention this mission to you, Colenva will find someone to tell you!" ”
Higg calmed down and said: "Of course I understand that you don't want me to die, General Kolenva knows that I don't have cavalry, so he deliberately only asked you to send cavalry, you are a swordsman, you are an infantry, isn't it too ridiculous, let the lieutenant colonel of infantry lead the cavalry charge?" Don't say anything, talk about my benefits! ”
"All 3,000 cavalry are yours! This is the most elite cavalry I have personally selected! Shante said: "Fifty carts of military rations!" Two hundred carts of forage! ”
"That's all?" Higg was depressed and asked, "What about the other equipment?" What about the distribution of results after the war? ”
"What the general means is that having captured the city of Misland, your revival city no longer borders on the territory of Arad, which is already the greatest benefit!"
"Haha," Higg laughed, "It's the best joke I've ever heard today." I'd rather your two armies face each other, and I'll make a fortune in silence. It's good for me to say that I don't have a border with Arad, I border with your Second Legion, and you don't have Arad's containment, so I won't have to listen to you obediently in the future? ”
Shante was silent.
"Shante, I thought that after coming out of the Valley of Flowers, you would change a little, but I didn't expect that you still have your Majesty's tendon in your head, and I will be killed by you sooner or later!" Higg said: "You tell General Kolenwa that I can only guarantee that no reinforcements will be put into my position for ten days, and on the evening of the tenth day, whether his main battlefield has been completely annihilated Sakning or not, I will withdraw from my position!" And I'll add one more condition! ”
"On what terms?"
Higg said fiercely: "In three years, you are not allowed to fight my idea again, let alone the idea of my territory, otherwise, even if I die, I will have to fight with him!" ”
Then he turned to the guards and said, "Immediately send someone to inform all the leaders and responsible persons to come here for an emergency military meeting!" ”
