|-> Chapter 25 Revised Edition

When the Beast Demon Coalition attacked outside the Shangjing City, these coalition soldiers were shocked when they looked at the huge Shangjing City Wall.

Because they never imagined that a city could be so huge, they could never even dream that Shangjing would be so big.

In the past, when I heard the merchants of the clan boast to themselves about how huge the capital was, at that time these soldiers thought that these merchants were bragging, but when they really saw such a huge city today, they were shocked.

And many people also feel a huge fear, how many people must have such a huge city, these people can drown less than a million people even if they spit and spit.

How can such a city be attacked! At this time, Namur Duozhen, who was in the Chinese army, looked up at Shangjing and frowned deeply.

Although he now has more than a million people in his hands, of which the powerful races can reach 600,000, the rest are some auxiliary troops with 600,000, and 500,000 human servants.

But in addition to the 600,000 powerful races, the rest of the usual shouting and cheering can be, and if they encounter a tailwind battle, they can also come in handy, but the capital is so huge, how to attack?

The strategies he used in the past are not good, you must know that there are tens of thousands of Xia Yuan royals and hundreds of thousands of imperial nobles living in Shangjing, and these people are all vested interests.

They will not surrender themselves easily, even if there are a minority, and a large part of the officials are like this, and those people living in the capital city are probably going to assist the soldiers to defend the city, right?

Although the soldiers of the Xia Yuan Empire were weak in combat, they could kill themselves even if they took a pile of people, because the information he obtained was that the number of regular troops in the capital alone could reach nearly 450,000.

In addition, in each aristocratic mansion, there are some warriors and some warlocks who guard the courtyard, although these people are not good at regular battlefield combat.

However, their personal combat power should not be underestimated, due to the large number of noble mansions in Shangjing, these nobles can raise nearly 150,000 people with an average of ten nursing homes.

If these people are organized, and excellent officers are sent to lead them, and their logistics lines are disrupted, then their more than one million people will be worried.

The defense system of Shangjing is strictly prohibited, and there are many powerful warlocks in charge, plus those generals with rich experience in leading troops, leading those well-equipped and well-trained soldiers, it seems that this offensive and defensive battle in Shangjing is not easy to fight!

Namurdo really sat alone in the main tent of the Chinese army, looking at the city defense map of the entire Shangjing City, this city defense map was obtained by Namurdo really spent a lot of money in the hands of a Xia Yuan nobleman.

In order to ensure its authenticity, Namur also sent his best hidden (that is, spy officers) to infiltrate the capital according to this city defense map.

In the end, after being completely correct, Namurdo really used it with confidence, Namurdo really looked at this city defense map and frowned, the defense of the capital is too strong, the big city sets the small city, and the city sets the city.

Moreover, there was a huge defensive spell array running in the entire upper capital city, and ordinary spell attacks could not cause any damage to this huge city at all.

Moreover, the city is too big for your own army to surround it, and if you can't surround people, you can send cavalry to harass you anytime and anywhere.

In addition, there are more than 2,000 wells and numerous underground culverts in the city, so the people and officials and nobles in Shangjing do not have to worry about the problem of fresh water at all.

If the people and the government stored some more drinking water, it would be even more troublesome, and the food problem would be even more worry-free, because it is said that there are 500 large granaries in Shangjing, 10,000 medium-sized granaries and 70,000 small granaries.

A small granary here can provide half a year's consumption for 100,000 people, and it is said that there are some fertile fields in the capital itself, which are the private fields of some big nobles and wealthy people.

If the government were to expropriate, or buy the grain produced in these private fields in the name of the state, Shangjing would be able to resist forever.

Because the city has a population of more than 10 million and nearly 20 million, even if you exclude women, children, and the elderly, who cannot go to the battlefield, there must be more than 9 million people and nearly 10 million people.

Organize these people, and then issue weapons and armor, and let these people go back to the battlefield a few times, then there will be another group of elite soldiers.

The more Namurdo thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he felt that it would be difficult for him to take this huge city with these people.

But now that the arrow is ready to be sent, the war has been going on to the point where the beast demon empire cannot retreat.

Because once the army is withdrawn, then from those tribal chieftains to ordinary soldiers, they will oppose it, but how to fight it?

It was difficult for these forces to encircle the entire city, and the Orcs lacked large siege equipment.

Because the beast demon clan, whether it is infantry or cavalry, these powerful races, including those auxiliaries, are embarrassed, because the beast demon clan does not know how to attack the city at all.

As for those human servants, they are good siegers, but they are all half-hearted, and bringing them in is mainly for a propaganda role, showing the generosity and tolerance of the beast demon clan.

If the powerful races are used in siege warfare, this kind of unskilled warfare, it is simply a crime, you must know that the fertility of these powerful races is very low, and it is a huge loss for them to die one.

And those auxiliaries have no combat effectiveness at all, and using them to attack the city has no effect except for training the opponent.

Namurdo frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so he shouted: "Someone."

A golden wolf warrior came in from outside, and I saw him touching his chest with his right hand and bowing and saying: See the Great Khan Yu, I am willing to serve you.

Namur Dozhen commanded: Go and bring Jim Gur and the chiefs, elders, and priests to the Great Horde.

Although Namurdo really established the Steppe Desert Empire, many of the systems were not sound because it had just been founded.

Therefore, the original tribal alliance system is still adopted, that is, the original democratic system, and everyone discusses things, rather than a truly centralized system like Xia Yuan.

After receiving the order, the guards turned and walked out of the tent, and about one cup of tea, the chiefs, elders, and priests of the various tribes entered the tent one after another, and sat down on the left and right.

Namurdo sat tall on a dragon chair paved with a whole piece of earth dragon skin as a scaffold.

Namuina gracefully walked up to Namrdojin and sat down on his lap.

The beast demon clan is open-minded, although Namurdo really admires Xia Yuan culture, and he and Namuina both have high Xia Yuan cultural attainments.

The two of them can speak a very standard Xia Yuan dialect fluently, and they also have a certain Beijing accent, they can write Xia Yuan's cloud text, and they can also write poems and lyrics.

They have their own opinions on many Xia Yuan cultural classics, but these two people are deviant people, and they don't agree with some things in Xia Yuan culture.

In addition, although they changed from the original tribal alliance system to the imperial system, Namur Dozhen also called Khan Yu to the outside world, but his current rights are similar to the previous tribal alliance chieftains, so many ceremonial laws and regulations have not been established.

The Beast Demon Clan, when holding some large, important, council meetings, Jim Gul can attend as a non-voting member, and he doesn't care much about the image, so it's normal for these two people to wear their waists around their necks, and those tribal chiefs and elders don't care much about sacrifices.

And there is a reason why the two of them did this, although the beast and demon alliance army destroyed the city all the way and attacked the upper capital, but because of the upper capital, it was too far away from the entire grassland tribe empire.

In the past, these people fought with the Xia Yuan Empire to feed the war, and they fought wherever they wanted, so they had no concept of logistics at all, and these people had never heard of what logistics was.

But now it can't be done, Namurdo really strictly forbids his subordinates to rob the people in the occupied areas, although they can do some work of robbing the rich and helping the poor and eating big households, but those who are really capable of the rich have long since run away.

At the same time, most of their property was taken away, and the remaining so-called big households were not enough for more than a million people to eat, and sometimes they had to share some in order to buy people's hearts.

Therefore, the beast demon alliance has also begun to establish its own logistics system, but such a rudimentary logistics system is simply overwhelmed.

Although some of the great priests have some spatial magic weapons in their hands, the space of these spatial magic weapons is limited, and even their own things are barely enough.

How can there be a place to help others put things, and the space magic weapon is as rare as the giant panda on the earth, and only those who have cultivated to the grandmaster level can urge such a magic weapon.

It's useless for ordinary people to have it, grandmaster-level characters, it's rare everywhere, it's not a big handful of cabbage in the vegetable market.

Therefore, these space magic weapons cannot play a decisive role in the entire logistics system.

Space magic weapons can only be useful in squad adventures, and are not useful at all in large-scale corps operations.

You must know that some of the more than one million people are cavalry, and the mounts of beasts and demons are not like human mounts, most of them are war horses, and war horses can also eat some ordinary weeds or leaves without forage.

But the mounts of the beast demons are either war wolves, or war bears, or griffins and giant eagles, and giant vultures, these things are either beasts of prey or birds of prey, they don't eat grass, these are all meat masters, and if they are hungry, they will even eat their own masters.

These guys are hungry and don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, as long as it is meat, they will eat it, so the logistical pressure of the beast and demon alliance is very huge, so the beast and demon alliance must capture the capital in the shortest possible time, otherwise the huge logistical pressure will also make them collapse.

The collapse of logistics would mean the defeat of the crusade, and such a defeat would be fatal for the nascent steppe desert empire, because if it failed, Namurdo's real prestige would plummet, and the empire would soon be divided without him.

All of you here know about this, which is why Namur Dozhen and Namuina made this slightly intimate gesture to tell these chiefs and elders that the generals don't need to worry, we have a way.

When the men were seated, Namurdo sat down on his feet and explained the current situation, hoping that the chiefs and sacrificial elders under his command would come up with an idea.

After hearing this, the chiefs and elders of these tribes also frowned one by one, and the soldiers that the Grassland and Desert Empire could dispatch at present were all that.

Although the population of the Steppe Desert Empire is also very large, although their population is not as large as the hundreds of millions of people in the Xia Yuan Empire, all races together also have a population of hundreds of millions, and they can basically achieve the goal of all soldiers.

The area of the Grassland Desert Empire is not small, their area is about the same as the area of the entire Xia Yuan Empire, the difference is that the environment is very harsh, and many local creatures are difficult to survive.

But they are in the middle of the two continents of the East and the West, the Eastern Continent has a behemoth like the Xia Yuan Empire, although the Western Continent does not have such a unified empire.

But the Steppe Desert Empire is also facing a lot of threats from the West, and it is their close relatives who have to face the Orcs of the West.
