The warm sun of spring should be the season when all things are rejuvenated, but at this moment the entire Northeast is shrouded in dense war clouds, since the Mongolian iron cavalry suddenly appeared on the Hulunbuir steppe north of Tongliao, the Jingbei Military Region and the Northeast Military Region have stepped up the Northeast Raid, day and night, to attack the Eight Banners Army with all their might, and the black cities have fallen rapidly under the joint attack of the two major military regions regardless of casualties, and the battle report is three new in one day!

At the same time, in the name of the state, the two military regions have continuously sent a large number of soldiers to the deep mountains and old forests to search for refugees, and at the same time have intensified their radio propaganda efforts to search for all refugees in the northeast in the shortest possible timeSmall|said||{Starter}

Although on the surface, the Eight Banners Coalition Army has been defeated and retreated, losing all major black cities one after another, and finally had to curl up within a radius of 200 kilometers from Shenyang Black City, but secretly, such as Zhou Yue, and other leaders of major forces, know very well that the huge pressure faced by the Jingbei Military Region and the Northeast Military Region is getting bigger and bigger!

The shadow of the name of the tree, Temujin's Mongolian iron cavalry is not something that anyone can compete with, at this stage, the Jingbei Military Region cannot, the Northeast Military Region cannot, and Zhou Yue's team cannot!

He has been returning to Panjin Heicheng with the personal guard battalion for five days, and during these five days, there is a lot of news about the Eight Banners Army, Yuangai Suwen's army, Jingbei Military Region, and Northeast Military Region every day.

However, the original plan to storm Yuangai Suwen was unexpected, and he had to suspend the operation for only one reason, that is, in Yanbian, east of Changbai Mountain, a new force was actually killed, which was fierce and quite arrogant, not only engulfing the remnants of the Joseon king, but also carrying the entire Silla, the strength of the Baekje Dynasty, known as a million soldiers.

The leader is not Chinese, nor Korean, let alone Silla or Baekje, but the famous daimyo of Japan's Sengoku period, Oda Nobunaga!

According to the information transmitted from the scout camp, it is not possible to determine for the time being how Oda Nobunaga ran to the Korean Peninsula all of a sudden?

But one thing is certain, that is, they are very arrogant, the original black city power on the Korean Peninsula is not very strong, so in the early days of the disaster, there were not many dead and injured refugees, but with Oda Nobunaga suddenly killed the Korean Peninsula, he conquered the entire peninsula of Black City at once, and now it is even more aggressive across the Yalu River!

Originally, Zhou Yue and a group of think tanks didn't take this Oda Nobunaga very seriously, but later intelligence made them have to pay attention to it, because, this guy, really has two hits, according to preliminary information, the number of Japanese troops under Oda Nobunaga has exceeded nearly 100,000, including about 50,000 ordinary ashigaru teams, nearly 30,000 elite ashigaru, nearly 20,000 samurai with swords, and 3,000 very fierce and terrifying monks. There will definitely be, after all, Zhang Jiao can rectify the Yellow Turban Lux, it makes no sense that Japanese devils don't appear those upper, middle and lower ninjas, war ninjas, secret forbearances or something!

Without two strikes, it would not have been possible to sweep across the entire Korean Peninsula in such a short period of time.

In addition to these elites, Oda Nobunaga also had nearly 200,000 troops from the Kingdom of Joseon, the Kingdom of Silla, and the Kingdom of Baekje, as well as an army of nearly one million servants.

These servant armies are a bit funny, they are not the ancient forces killed in the black city, but the modern people living on the Korean Peninsula, they just chose to surrender Oda Nobunaga, and they are not very weak, most of them are upgraded to level 20 or above, and there are even a large number of elite troops, they are one level higher than ordinary servant troops, and they are also particularly trusted and appreciated by Oda Nobunaga, so the overall strength is not weak.

But at present, I don't know what kind of strength Oda Nobunaga himself is?

And what really made Zhou Yue and them vigilant was that as soon as Oda Nobunaga appeared, he immediately formed an alliance with Yuangai Suwen and communicated with each other, although there was no big move for the time being, but there was no doubt that the next target of the two of them was the Panjin Black City where Zhou Yue was located!

Therefore, in the past few days, the entire Panjin Black City has entered a state of emergency combat readiness, the soldiers and horses of each battalion have stepped up their drills, and the workshop is also desperately building various siege and defense equipment.

In this tense atmosphere, it is not without joy that things appeared, first of all, the Panjin Heicheng blacksmith shop in which Xiao Guanyin participated was successfully built, and I don't know how she did it, she actually recruited ten blacksmith apprentices at once, although these blacksmith apprentices belong to Xiao Guanyin, but it suddenly increased the prosperity of Panjin Heicheng by 30, and this also solves the most headache problem in the past, that is, the durability of equipment, whether it is the lowest grade of equipment or the highest grade of equipment, As long as you continue to train or use it in battle, you will drop durability, and it is really distressing to encounter some precious equipment, such as Wang Huang's Earth Shield, because he is responsible for accompanying most of the archers in the Shenji Battalion to train, so, this Earth Shield, on average, will drop dozens of durability points every day.

But with the blacksmith, this problem is solved.

So in the past few days, Xiao Guanyin has really made a lot of money, and the taxes and fees paid to Heicheng alone have exceeded a few hundred gold.

However, due to the low level of these blacksmith apprentices, they can only repair equipment at present, as well as create some low-level ordinary equipment such as triangular iron arrows or some throwing guns.

But I think that as long as time permits, conditions permit, these blacksmith apprentices can still continue to upgrade, just like the carpenters in the workshop, now there are three more people who have been promoted to intermediate craftsmen, and there are nearly a hundred junior craftsmen, and more than a thousand carpenter apprentices, which is definitely very arrogant, as long as there are sufficient funds and materials, an average of five catapults and three eight-ox crossbows can be built every day.

Due to Zhou Yue's regulations, as long as he is promoted to a craftsman apprentice, it is equivalent to restoring his free body, he can marry a wife and have children, and give away a mansion for free, so during this time, with the Deng family's mansion as the center, the area within a radius of five or six miles is actually in full swing, prosperous and lively, counting the Deng family, the NPC soldiers of the internal guard battalion, the craftsmen in the workshop and their families, plus Xiao Guanyin's clansmen, the residents of the free black city in the entire Panjin Black City have exceeded 6,000 people.

In fact, Zhou Yue and all his think tanks did not expect that the benefits brought to Panjin Black City by these six thousand NPC ancient residents would be so huge.

Not to mention the huge changes in the blacksmith shop and workshop, in just a few days, there have been four or five restaurants and teahouses, although they are all opened by the two rich men Deng and Xiao Guanyin, but they are also very good, and they can unexpectedly attract many foreign neutral homeless people in the black city every day.

In addition, there are more than a dozen stalls of various kinds, although the stalls sell ordinary vegetables, fruits, pasta and the like, but the problem is that as long as these are made by ancient residents, it has additional attributes, so for a while, Zhou Yue and his team members' favorite thing is to wander around in this market, and buy what they see, which instead forms a virtuous circle. But it also made these ancient inhabitants richer, and as a result, a situation became more and more prosperous.

According to this situation, the upgrade of Panjin Black City to a two-star Black City is just around the corner.

Therefore, Zhou Yue had to consider this result, because if Panjin Black City was upgraded to a two-star Black City, the benefits would be very wonderful, not to mention that the tax would be tripled, and the workshop would also be upgraded, originally an intermediate craftsman, he would have the opportunity to upgrade to a senior craftsman, and the same was true for the blacksmith shop, and the shop was even more so, which could sell more and more abundant, and more advanced equipment, and the training ground, the most important place, would also be upgraded from accommodating a hundred people to train at the same time to three hundred people at the same time, an absolutely wonderful situation!

This kind of good situation is not easy to come by, if a siege battle is staged in Panjin Black City again, then, this prosperity will fall in an instant!

At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion, which had been decorated by Old Man Deng, Zhou Yue and other team leaders were discussing the next strategic goals, the most important consideration was the significant changes that had taken place in Panjin Black City in the past ten days.

And the one who has the most say is naturally the big housekeeper of the entire team, and the actual city lord manager of the entire Panjin Black City, Liu Yue.

"Brother Zhou, everyone, after careful consideration and investigation, I think it is necessary for our team to reconsider the strategic layout, in the previous three months, what we all paid the most attention to was how to survive, how to fight, non-stop fighting, completely centered on combat, I think, this strategic focus still needs to be maintained with high intensity in the future, but we must also devote some energy to pay attention to our logistics, that is, the black city where we are located."

"We have now understood that in all the black cities, there are also levels, but the standard of division is not according to the size of the city before the disaster, but proportional to the development after the disaster, according to our analysis, the level of the black city is about five stars, that is, a one-star black city, a two-star black city, a three-star black city, a four-star black city, a five-star black city, and it is still unknown whether there is a higher level of black city, but that is not important, the important thing is that the black city is upgraded by one level, The benefits for us are really felt, whether it is a workshop, a blacksmith shop, a shop, a restaurant, a paving, a training ground, this is our soft power, especially the training ground, before the transfer to a one-star general, the level is not important, the important thing is the proficiency of various skills, I will not say much here, I just say one thing, as of today, as long as we can ensure that there are no invincible unit targets of more than 1,000 people around Panjin Black City for 200 kilometers, then, Every day, there will be at least a hundred or so ancient neutral residents in the Black City, and basically, half of them will stay in our Black City to settle down, and their number will be directly related to the prosperity of the Black City. ”
