By the morning, the flying unit had finally returned due to the depletion of ammunition and the physical strength of the monsters, leaving only the Crusaders' base camp almost burned to the ground, and the scorched corpses all over the ground. The infantry of the Dragon Soul Legion www.biquge.info entered this place in batches in a neat line, and now their task was only to collect corpses.

The entire base camp of the Eastern Crusade Army was completely destroyed, not only all the Chagatai supplies were burned, but even the prisoners were not captured at all, and there was no place to use it anymore, and they were forced to strengthen the original military camp as a base for advancement.

After destroying the main force of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, the Dragon Soul Legion continued to advance, they marched step by step, and after building more than ten military stations on the way, the army finally arrived near the royal city. At this time, the entire Chagatai Khanate had been shocked by the destruction of the coalition forces, and in order to keep the royal city, the other three major forces abandoned their previous suspicions and concentrated all their troops near the royal city. Now the people and horses gathered near the Chagatai royal city, where nearly two million troops are concentrated, and at the northern border, there are nearly two legions of reinforcements from the Durant Empire, ready to support.

In the face of such a strong enemy, Wu Chengfeng, who had too few troops in her hands, did not dare to make a mistake, so she immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and set up camp twenty miles away from the royal city. At this time, it is already winter, and there are no hills and woods in the Chagatai steppe that can withstand the cold wind, so the winter here is particularly cold.

It seems that it is intended to oppose both sides, today's winter came very early, and the cold wind in October has been bone-chilling, and the temperature has dropped to zero. The Shouyang Territory was fully prepared for battle, and the army immediately changed into winter clothes, and even those flying demonic beasts had special cotton armor, and the Chagatai people were not so lucky.

At this time of the year, the Chagatai people drive their livestock to the south for the winter, where it is warmer and has abundant water and grass, which is the winter pasture of the Chagatai people. In order to fight this year, they have already delayed a lot of time, if they can't defeat the Dragon Soul Legion in a short time and drive their livestock to the south as soon as possible, they are in danger of extinction.

Because the Chagatai people couldn't afford to delay, they had to speed up their battles in order to defeat the Dragon Soul Legion as soon as possible. However, Marshal Gamudi, who had fled back, had already described to them the strength of the other party, which made the royal family hesitate to make up their minds to fight a decisive battle, so they could only send a small number of cavalry to attack.

Wu Chengfeng has seen through the plight of the Chagatai people, she knows that the other party is even more anxious now, as long as she can stick to this place, this battle of Shouyang territory will be won. In order to prevent the other party from attacking day and night, Wu Chengfeng decided to build a city here to prevent the opponent's cavalry from attacking, but there was nowhere to find stones on the prairie, and the city wall piled up with soil could not hinder the opponent's impact at all.

"Sister Feng'er, should we let the hot air balloon troops bring us more sacks from the rear, so that the city wall can be stronger. Li Simin proposed.

"It seems unlikely. Lucia was the first to object: "Now that the temperature is getting colder, the heat loss of hot air balloons is much faster, and the amount of coal used is skyrocketing. What's more, in order to prevent the other side from sneaking up, the military stations along the way have been withdrawn. We set off from the base near the base camp of the original Crusade Army, and the hot air balloon flight here was already the limit, and we had no coal at all to return there. There is no way to replenish coal here, so we can't make a continuous flight. ”

Wu Chengfeng sighed and said, "If Xianggong is here, he will definitely be able to think of a way." ”

"We can use the message box to ask the minister-in-law, maybe he has a good solution. Li Simin proposed.

"No, I'm already here. A hearty voice penetrated the tent, and the sturdy figure broke into the tent with the cold wind, and the women took a closer look and exclaimed almost in unison: "Xianggong, why are you here?"

Fang Ruitao slapped his dusty leather jacket and said with a smile: "Why can't I come here Now Mavis, Helena and Zhu Yunmei are stationed in Snow Wolf Pass, the crisis there has basically been lifted, so I will come here to take a look, it seems that you have a problem that cannot be solved." ”

"There was a big problem, but when Xianggong came, everything would be solved. Murong Yanran said with a smile.

"That's right, Xianggong, tell me, we don't have enough sacks now, and this earthen wall won't be too strong, how can we build a strong city wall," Wu Chengfeng quickly asked.

"You can dip the loess in water and hit it hard with two wooden planks, so that the walls of the earth are quite strong. Fang Ruitao proposed.

"But it's too slow to make an earthen wall like that, and how long will it take to build such a long earthen wall. Li Simin shook his head and said.

"Well, such a serious problem needs to be thought about. Fang Ruitao paced around the room, his brows furrowed.

"Xianggong is here" Diao Chan ran in from outside and looked at Fang Ruitao in surprise. Fang Ruitao slapped her hair with a smile and said, "Look at it, how did you turn your hair white, at first glance, it looks like she and Xue Fei are sisters." ”

"It had just started to snow, and I didn't have a hat ready, so my hair was wet with snow, and if it took a little longer, my head would have frozen. Diao Chan laughed.

"Snow and ice" Fang Ruitao looked at some Diao Chan's slightly moist hair, and his eyes lit up and said: "Yes, I know how to build a strong city wall." Immediately order the soldiers to gather more earth and stones and prepare to build the walls. ”

"Got it, I'll give the order. Hearing that Fang Ruitao had a way, Li Simin's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran out to give the order.

The entire barracks took action, and the soldiers dug out a large amount of soil with the sapper shovels they carried, waiting for further orders from Fang Ruitao. Fang Ruitao took a few women around the camp a few times, and he felt that with the arrival of heavy snowfall, the temperature was dropping sharply, and now it was at least five or six degrees, and the temperature was still decreasing.

Fang Ruitao nodded and said: "It's almost time now, let the soldiers build the city with soil, remember to pile up a layer of soil and completely wet the soil with water, and then pile a second layer of soil." Remember that the earth barrier must be wet, and you must not cut corners. ”

Fang Ruitao's words made several women laugh, people are not allowed to cut corners, you sprinkling water on the soil is enough to cut corners, the original local fortress will not be strong, will it become mud if you splash water again Despite this, they still passed the general order, and the soldiers who received the order quickly got started.
