The Middle Route Army, composed of the troops of the Ma Huaishan Kingdom, would begin to advance after midnight that night. The target is Black Cloud City's so-called steel defense line, the fortifications of the castle. This army, which numbered 800,000 men and was equipped with elite war elephants with a strong ability to storm cities, believed that it would not be much of a problem to capture a fortification that was only six miles long.

The Southern Route Army, composed of the Xuanwu Kingdom, set out before dawn. (Regarding the order of departure time, it is mainly taken into account the distance of the road, and the closer the distance, the later the departure of the troops.) Aim for a surprise attack that reaches the target at the same time and attacks at the same time. Their target will be the tiny county town of Fuhua. With the strength of 800,000 troops, seizing such a small county town is completely a knife in Miao Zhenyuan's opinion. Therefore, he asked the Northern Confederate States to settle the battle as soon as possible, and after taking the county seat, they could serve as a strategic general reserve at any time to support the troubles that the other two roads might encounter.

This battle plan was very detailed and reasonable, and was immediately unanimously approved by the generals of all countries. Three days later, it was also completely placed on the desk of Luo Ming, the chief lieutenant of Black Cloud City, through a coded letter.

Luo Ming has been in a very good mood these days. In order to make his brother, who was better at his achievements, more motivated, he asked the city lord to transfer the position of Taiwei to his brother Lin Yi. He himself was named King Jing and General Zhenguo. It was just because they were afraid of provoking a storm between the city lord and Lin Xiaofeng, the leader of the Eastern Alliance, that none of them dared to say anything about the relationship between him and Lin Xiaoshuang. Lin Xiaoshuang was naturally extremely satisfied with this position, and she also planned to serve as the captain and master of the Eastern Saint Kingdom in the future.

Although Luo Ming left the post of Tai Lieutenant, he did not take any actual official positions. But he still holds the military and political power of the whole country firmly in his hands invisibly, and even Lin Yi, who has always been above the top, obeys him without any disobedience and dissatisfaction.

Jiemur reported that after the two sets of stoves were upgraded, the production efficiency of all equipment was greatly improved. He himself is intensifying his research on how to build equipment. Because the materials were too valuable, he didn't dare to start building them until he was completely sure. However, this god-level caster reassured him, saying that he would soon have eyebrows.

Although Luo Ming's equipment is getting more and more advanced, the opponents he faces are also getting stronger and stronger. He now feels as thin as the armor on his body every time he fights with someone, and he can barely end the fight when he is beaten to death by his opponent, or even when his soul is out of his body. So he's desperate to have a little better equipment right now, so that he won't be flattened too much in battle.

Since Jiemoore is working on this, it means that there will be hope soon. Of course he'll be in a good mood. For the level of this senior foundry, Luo Ming has always been full of confidence. Usually I will go over to see him when I have nothing to do, and occasionally I will help with my hands, and I have also improved my casting skills a lot.

After he announced the personnel allocation of the coalition forces and the outline of the operational plan at a military meeting of senior generals, he caused an uproar among the generals attending the meeting. He sat down, browning down his eyebrows and blowing on the foam and tea leaves in his teacup, taking a sip from time to time, and listening quietly to everyone's discussions.

These generals, who have just won two wars, have been arrogant and empty-eyed for a while now, as if the army they have given is already invincible in the world. Luo Ming just used this information to kill their arrogance. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and in the past, the Qinglong Kingdom had 30,000 troops in the country, and even if the army was used to maintain law and order, it might not be enough. No one could have imagined that if they had a war, they would be able to win it. Therefore, the generals at that time were cautious, as if they were on the edge of the abyss, as if walking on thin ice.

Now that the two wars have been won, the army, land, and resources have been greatly expanded, and these generals have walked somewhat horizontally. It's time to find an opportunity to knock them out. Otherwise, even if there is no coalition army, it will be a very unsettling thing to let them attack Black Cloud City.

After some fierce quarrels and debates, everyone found out that General Yasukuni had been silent. The people gradually quieted down, and they all wanted to hear what he had to say. After two wars, everyone was full of confidence in the teenager in front of them. I think he wants him to be there, even if the sky falls, there is a way.

Luo Ming saw that everyone was silent, so he cleared his throat and said, "Let's talk about our current strength." "Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Everyone then began to make detailed reports: After a period of vigorous expansion and reorganization in recent years, Heiyun City currently has a garrison of 300,000 troops in Fuhua Prefecture, under the joint command of Zhao Hui and Wang Jingxuan, and a garrison of 100,000 troops on the defense line of the castle, commanded by Liu Rang, a general of the Northern Alliance Kingdom who was captured in the last war. Liu Rang used to be a fierce general who guarded the northern region of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and had experienced many battles with the Ma Huaishan Kingdom, and had extremely rich combat experience, so he was a rare general. In addition, there are still 50,000 Qilin Tiger Warriors under the Quanzhong Han Division, 250,000 Tempest Warriors under Ding Zhenzhong, 10,000 people from the Qinglong Flying Tiger Second Team under Liang Xu's Department, and 8,000 people from the Qinglong Flying Tiger Team under Jiang Tengjiao's Department.

Among them, the garrison of Fuhua Prefecture and the Tempest Warrior Army were obviously strengthened, followed by the garrison of the city defense line. They were greatly expanded after the victory in the last war, when a large number of prisoners of war were captured. The officers and men who survived in their original units were all commended, and the vast majority of them were promoted and became the backbone of the army. However, because the expansion is too rapid and the training and ideological work have not been carried out for a long time, there are still certain doubts about the actual combat effectiveness.

The number of troops in the Eastern Saint Kingdom was not as large as before the war, including: 50,000 light cavalry, 120,000 heavy cavalry, 120,000 hoplites and 30,000 sailors These troops are the national defense forces of the newly formed Eastern Saint Kingdom, nominally under the command of Yao Jinlin, the former captain of the Eastern Saint Kingdom (after the war, he was one of the first ministers of the Eastern Saint Kingdom to swear allegiance to the Black Cloud City Kingdom, and he is still serving as the original lieutenant. But in reality he doesn't have any real power. This army is controlled by Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also established his own army in the Eastern Saint Kingdom, the Tempest Warrior Army. There were a powerful cavalry commando force of 400,000 people, all recruited from the captives, surrendered soldiers and ordinary people of the Eastern Holy Country, and only a small group of key personnel were transferred from her original Tempest Warrior Army to help her build up the officer corps. He also formed the new Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army, which now has a size of 50,000 men. It's just that the new army was formed in a hurry and has not yet undergone rigorous training to meet the standards he expects.

In this way, not counting the naval forces that could not participate in the war, the two countries have a total of more than 1.4 million troops. In terms of numbers, compared with the poverty and overstretched situation of the previous two wars, it is indeed much more spectacular. But first, they are still quite different in number compared to the coalition forces that are about to arrive. Second, most of them are newly recruited officers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is not quite comparable with that of the previous army. In addition, there is another point: the current land area of Black Cloud City is still very small, and it lacks strategic depth. Once the moat is breached. The capital city of Black Cloud City will directly face the devastating thunderous blow of the coalition forces.
