Chapter Eighty-Six: Preparations for War
A few days later, the wind was fine and the sky was cloudless. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
An open meadow of the werewolf tribe, where the leaders and elders of the various tribes gathered.
"Whew~" 200,000 wolves rode up to the sky and roared, the sound resounded through the sky, and it took a long time to stop, and in the howl, the horn of war had already sounded.
Shaoyang, who was far away in Songhai City, suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, and looked to the northwest, judging from Xu Tianyuan's intelligence, the big invasion of the werewolves should almost come.
"No, I have to find Yuan Zhi and Feng Xiao to discuss again. Shaoyang was not very relieved, so he immediately asked someone to find Guo Jia, and then went to the government affairs hall together.
Xu Shu is dealing with government affairs, whether it is the reclamation of wasteland or the increasingly prosperous Songhai City, there are a lot of things that Xu Shu needs to deal with, and he is surrounded in the middle of government affairs documents.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xu Shu raised his head from it, and saw Shaoyang and Guo Jia coming in a hurry, thinking that there should be something urgent, so he immediately put down what he was doing and got up to greet him.
"Your Majesty, you and Feng Xiao didn't come to the government affairs hall easily, and came in a hurry, I don't know what it was for?" Xu Shu said with a little ridicule, dissatisfied with Shaoyang Guo Jia and the two of them not asking about government affairs, but they were helpless.
"Yuan Zhi, Lone knows that you have worked hard to deal with government affairs. Shaoyang smiled, pretended not to understand the meaning, and said again after comforting Xu Shu: "Regarding the werewolf invasion, I want to discuss it with the two of you." ”
"With the military strength of our city, even if the werewolf army of 200,000 wolf horsemen attack, it is enough to defend. What's more, if it is really a clan attack, it is impossible for the Northern Army to turn a blind eye. Xu Shu thought about Songhai City's military strength and grain and grass reserves.
However, it is only to defend the city, and everything outside the city is not spared.
"Having said that, the werewolf army has entered the country, and the losses caused must be indispensable. Shaoyang lamented that spring ploughing is about to begin, and if the time is missed, it means that this season's harvest will be greatly reduced.
"As long as the battlefield is placed elsewhere, it is good to not let the werewolves enter the territory of Songhai City. Guo Jia's voice sounded at the right time, saying a possibility that Shaoyang had never considered.
"It seems that Feng Xiao has a plan in his heart?" Xu Shu thought thoughtfully, because he was busy with government affairs, and he handed over all the military affairs to Guo Jia, so he didn't think about this, and after Guo Jiayi reminded him, he immediately considered the feasibility.
"Take the map of Songhai City and the entire Northern Wilderness Territory. Guo Jia instructed the waiter to get the map.
After a while, the two huge animal skin scrolls were moved by several waiters, and for convenience, Shaoyang directly asked the waiters to spread out the map on the ground.
"If the werewolf army wants to invade in a big way, it must first pass through the two realms to enter Yangguan City, and then pass through two territories to enter Songhai City, and two of them are necessary places. Guo Jia lay on the map and wanted Shaoyang to point out two places.
The Liangjie Pass is a border pass of the Northern Chu Kingdom, and an army of no less than 20,000 people has been stationed in the pass for many years, but it is more of a deterrent.
In the vast grassland, werewolves don't have to pass through here to enter the Northern Wilderness, they only need to leave an army to guard against the troops in the pass.
The first place to pass through is a plain in Yangguan City, the terrain is flat and open, sandwiched between two mountain ranges, and it is impossible for the werewolf army to choose to climb over the mountains without taking the plain.
The other place is the border of Songhai City, surrounded by dense forests, only one avenue can be easily passed, not that the werewolf army cannot pass through the forest, but in terms of time, I don't know how much effort it will take, maybe most of the army will starve to death before leaving the forest.
"Fighting with werewolves in the Yangguancheng Plain, I'm afraid it's not good for our army, right?" Shaoyang thought about Guo Jia's words, imagining the scene of fighting in the Yangguancheng Plain in his heart.
The wolf cavalry is strong and large-scale, and the terrain of the plain is conducive to cavalry combat. As for attacking with fire like last time, the werewolf has learned a lesson, and the probability of success is not high.
"We have limited forces to mobilize, we can't fight head-on, we just need to block the werewolves out of here, this road can only be ridden at most, and when it is ready, even if the werewolf army of 200,000 is overwhelmed, it can be blocked. Guo Jia shook his head, and then pointed to the border forest of Songhai City and said.
Shaoyang looked at that place, recalling the terrain in his cognition, it was indeed as Guo Jia said, the terrain was narrow, and the werewolves could not give full play to their numerical and cavalry advantages.
"Keep the werewolf army out of the territory of Songhai City, and our losses can be minimized. Shaoyang felt that what Guo Jia said was feasible, and showed a happy smile, thinking about the ending of the werewolf being blocked out of the territory.
"I'm afraid that werewolves will plague other territories, and then Yangguan and other three cities will definitely become hell on earth. Shaoyang couldn't bear to say in his heart.
"There's nothing we can do about it. "Guo Jia has relatives in his heart, Songhai City's military strength is limited, and it is enough to protect one city, and there is nothing to be done if you want to take care of other territories.
"In fact, it doesn't take too many people to defend the road, and the Guards Legion and the Tuntian Legion can ensure the safety of Songhai City, so it is better to send Zilong's White Dragon Legion to assist Yangguan City in defending the city. Xu Shu proposed for the first time.
"The White Dragon Legion is only 3,500 people, and there are not enough troops to help defend the three cities. Shaoyang didn't object to Xu Shu's proposal, but he felt that although the White Dragon Legion was elite, the number was too small after all.
"Judging from the intelligence, this time the werewolf invasion is pushed behind the scenes, coming towards our Songhai City, I believe that too many troops and time will not be wasted in other territories, as long as the White Dragon Legion supports it for a while, it should not be a problem. Guo Jia analyzed.
"Lone is now only worried that the Northern Legion will turn a deaf ear to this war. Shaoyang remembered that the Northern Army had no support last time, and he was worried that this time it would still be the case, but Songhai City was not afraid, and the losses of other territories were difficult to say.
"Don't worry, the werewolves this time are not like last time, there were only 10,000 people, and it is impossible for the mastermind behind the scenes to want the Northern Legion to have no action, at most it will only delay for a few days. Guo Jia also thought about this and said his thoughts.
The duty of the Northern Legion is to guard the northern part of the kingdom and prevent the invasion of orcs.
If you don't know yet, you can't say it.
"Then Songhai City will be handed over to the military division, and Lone will personally take the White Dragon Legion there. Shaoyang said.
"No," Xu Shu and Guo Jia refused at the same time.
Shaoyang: "......"
Guo Jia: "It's too dangerous to go to the three cities of Yangguan, and you also need to go to Songhai City, the White Dragon Legion has Zilong as the commander and Yide assists, I will be with me at that time, and it will not be a problem to come,"
Guo Jiadu took the initiative to take the work, and Shaoyang no longer insisted, and immediately made a decision: "The werewolf army doesn't know when it will appear, without further ado, it will be arranged according to the plan immediately, the Tuntian Legion will immediately prepare to arrange the fortifications, and the White Dragon Legion will set off on the same day." ”
