Chapter 656: Joint Defense
readx;
After Karina entered the Chinese military tent, she stood aside in an orderly manner, silently observing everything around her. Although the huge Chinese military tent www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was overcrowded, no one looked at her more, and people were nervously busy.
Shangguan Xiu signed his name on several military newspapers submitted to him, stamped his seal, and then gathered several military newspapers and handed them to the generals standing aside. He looked up and looked at Karina, who was standing at the door of the tent.
As if sensing his gaze, Karina subconsciously turned her head and met Shangguan Xiu's aggressive gaze.
Her body shook, and she subconsciously straightened up. Seeing Shangguan Xiu beckoning to her, she took a deep breath, calmed her nervous emotions as much as possible, and walked over.
Walking to the handsome case, she bowed her hand and said, "Lord Shangguan!"
Shangguan Xiu raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Do you know how to speak in the wind?"
"My father was a Besa and my mother was a wind man. β
It's no wonder that her appearance looks somewhere between the wind and the Besa, and it turns out that she is half-blood, so it's no surprise that she can talk the wind. Shangguan Xiu pointed to the side of the handsome case and said, "Sit down." β
"Thank you, Lord Shangguan!" Karina bowed again, then took out a small leather bag from her pocket, handed it to Shangguan Xiu, and said, "This is what Lord Shangguan wants." β

Shangguan Xiu took the leather bag, untied the rope of the seal, and pulled out a piece of paper from it. Unfolded, the paper was sketched on a topographic map, and upon closer inspection, Shangguan Xiu recognized that this was the deployment map of Ulan City.
He raised his gaze, glanced at Karina, and then returned to the topographical map.
The defense map that Karina gave him was much more detailed than the defense map drawn by the wind army itself by exploring the newspaper, not only with ground graphics, but also with many annotations in Besa characters, in which section of the defense line, which regiment and which battalion were stationed, there were detailed and clear records, and even the location of the thatched houses in the defense line were marked one by one.
This is not a layman's defense map at all, but a military defense map dedicated to the interior of the defenders. The more Shangguan Xiu looked at it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but stand up, take this arming map, and walk to the map drawn by the staff, and compare it carefully.
The defense maps drawn by the Wind Army themselves are all from the investigation of the Dark Flag spies. Each spy is to explore a place, draw the arming situation in this area, and then send it to the Chinese military tent, and then the staff here will combine all the arming maps brought back by the spies to piece together a complete map.
It's just that there are a lot of blank spaces in it, and the outer line of defense is very finely drawn, and the inner line of defense is very vague, which is also understandable, the dark flag spies can only observe the perimeter of the Besa army's defense line, and as for the structure of the internal defense line, most of them are guessed.
Now Shangguan Xiu is holding the defense map sent by Karina, but he can fill in the blanks in the defense map drawn by Zhenjun Jun Jun himself.
Shangguan Xiu carefully compared it for a while, and could basically conclude that this defense map was indeed real, and it came from within the Besa defenders.
I can't see that the Scorpio mercenary team still has such a great ability, and it only took five days to successfully steal the defense map from the defenders of Ulan City.
Shangguan Xiu quietly sat back behind the handsome case, and when he saw Karina still standing aside, he waved his hand at her casually and motioned for her to sit down.
After Karina knelt down, he was afraid to pat the arming map on the table, and asked indifferently: "How did you get this arming map?"
"We stole it from the home of one of the city officials!" Karina said lightly.
Shangguan Xiu shook his head and said, "I want to hear the truth!" It is impossible for such an important defense map to appear in the home of an ordinary official.
Karina took a deep look at Shangguan Xiu, and saw that he was also looking at herself intently, his eyes were like knives, as if he could see through the depths of his heart. She sighed secretly and said, "It was stolen from the house of the lord of Ulan City, Baron Boone!"
"The big war is coming, the city lord's home must be heavily guarded, it is not easy for you to easily steal such an important thing from the city lord's house!" Shangguan Xiu said slowly with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing the suspicion in his words, Karina frowned, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, Lord Shangguan, I can use my head to vouch for it, this defense map is absolutely true, as for how we stole it, this will not bother Lord Shangguan, we naturally have our methods and means." Now that we have brought what Lord Shangguan wants according to the agreement, shouldn't Lord Shangguan also release our people according to the original agreement?"
Shangguan Xiu scoffed, but he also had to admit that this was indeed an effective weapon against certain people.
He smiled lightly and said slowly: "When we take Ulan City and confirm that this defense map you provided is indeed true, I will naturally release the people, and now, you can stay in our army, or you can leave on your own......"
Before he could finish speaking, Karina couldn't wait to say, "Let's stay." After a pause, she cautiously asked, "Lord Shangguan, can I go see Clara now?"
"Absolutely. Shangguan Xiu smiled and explained to the gendarmes on the side: "The camp tent that arranges accommodation for them, by the way, can let Clara live with them." β
"Yes!" the gendarme replied with a nod.
Karina stood up, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and said, "I believe that Lord Shangguan will be a person who keeps his word!"
The corners of Shangguan Xiu's mouth raised, he shrugged, didn't say anything more, stood up, walked to Meng Qiuchen, handed him the defense map, and said, "Study it." β
Meng Qiuchen had already noticed Karina, but he didn't ask too much, he never talked much about Shangguan Xiu's private affairs.
He took the defense map, glanced down at it, and immediately showed a serious look on his face. Gather all the surrounding strategists and study this defense map carefully. Karina, meanwhile, was taken out by the gendarmerie.
After studying this arming map carefully, Meng Qiuchen's opinion was the same as Shangguan Xiu's, thinking that this arming map should be true. He asked the strategists to redraw a large map based on this defense map and spread it on the table.
The generals present gathered around one after another, bowing their heads and watching intently.
Meng Qiuchen explained: "According to this deployment map, we can see that the southern defense line of the Besa Army is the strongest and the most extensive, with a total of two corps deployed here, the western defense line is slightly weaker, garrisoning one corps, the east defense line and the southern defense line are the weakest, and the total defenders are less than one corps. The defenders of Ulan City are basically arranged on the outer defense line, and the defenders in the city are empty, with only two battalions. It can be seen from this that the strength of the defenders of Ulan City should be four corps, with a total of 40,000 people. β
"With only 40,000 defenders, our army can take them lightly!" said the surrounding generals one after another.
"But you need to pay attention to the fact that in the northeast and northwest corners of this defense map, Naiba City and Black Corner City are also marked respectively, what does this mean?" Speaking of this, Meng Qiuchen deliberately paused, glanced at the people present, and said: "Ulan City is not an isolated city, there are also Naiba City in the northeast and Black Corner City in the northwest, which are being jointly defended with it. If my expectations are correct, when our army attacks Ulan City, it is very likely that Naiba City and Pointe-Noire City will send reinforcements and launch a sneak attack from the back and flanks of our army!"
Hearing this, everyone present was shocked, people's attention was on Ulan City, and their spies were only exploring Ulan City, and they didn't pay attention to Naiba City and Black Horn City, if it was really as Meng Qiuchen said, when they attacked Ulan City, Naiba and Black Horn suddenly sent troops to attack, and they would be caught off guard!
Luo Ren's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he asked, "Strategist, ......what is the source of this defense map?"
"It was provided by adults, I don't think there is anything wrong with the provenance of this arming map, and I don't think it's a forgery!" Meng Qiuchen said.
Luo Ren didn't ask any more, and shouted sideways: "Take the map of the entire territory of the Mikun region!"
As he spoke, a strategist brought over the map of Mikun and laid it out on the table. Luo Ren leaned over and looked carefully on the map, he first found the location of Ulan City, and then his gaze slowly moved upward, and soon found Naiba and Black Horn City.
His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he muttered: "Look at the map, Naiba City and Black Horn City are not close to Ulan City, starting from these two cities, there is no rapid march for a day and a night, and you can't catch up with Ulan City no matter what, but with the strength of our army's four legions, it won't take a day or a night to take Ulan City." β
Meng Qiuchen lowered his eyes and looked at the map, pondered for a long time, he squinted his eyes and said: "So, when our army attacks Ulan City, even if Naiba City and Black Corner City get the news immediately and immediately send reinforcements, it will be too late, then, the strength of these two cities must not be in the city!" As he spoke, he leaned forward, his upper body was almost attached to the map, his eyes slowly swept on the map, and finally, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed hard at the two points on the map, and said with a positive color: " The Dru Mountains in the northeast of Ulan City and the Yena Mountains in the northwest must be hiding reinforcements from Naiba City and Pointe-Noire City!"
People's eyes looked at the two points that Meng Qiuchen pointed to. The Dru Mountains and the Ε½ina Mountains both belong to the mountain system within the boundaries of Ulan City, and they are close to Ulan City, no more than thirty miles, and if Bessa's reinforcements suddenly emerge from these two mountain systems, it will really be a surprise and an unprepared attack for their own side.
I'm afraid that even Karina never expected that only through such a map of Ulan City's defense, Meng Qiuchen would be able to see the mysteries beyond these many defense maps.
Shangguan Xiu's eyes lit up, he held his chin, laughed hehe, and said slowly: "Hiding ambushes, with a small and big, we underestimate the Besa people in the Mikun region!"
