Chapter 90: Preparations for the War
At the same time, on the other side, on the night after the battle in Qingyan City, Wang Ting took his army and hurried away overnight, ignoring the threat of the night, they were not afraid of the beasts that haunted the night, if they really wanted to talk about it, it should be the beasts that should be afraid, after all, if they dared to rush over, they would need to face an army of nearly four thousand people!
All the way to the west, Wang Ting was lying on a stretcher, carried by two personal soldiers.
Obviously, his injuries were not as minor as he claimed.
Wang Ting's body was seriously injured, so he could only temporarily retreat to Wangcheng first, and while recuperating from his injuries, he ordered the border, especially the western city, to take strict precautions.
In the battle outside Qingyan City, the two sides could only be said to be evenly matched, and neither of them was able to establish a clear advantage.
Inside Qingyan Castle.
In yesterday's battle, Xia Qi can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted, and every soldier under his command can now adjust and rest a little in Qingyan City, but he is the only one who can't, because he is the leader of the civilization of Great Xia City.
On the night of the battle with the royal court, he slept peacefully, because he was so tired that he fell asleep directly, and when he woke up, it was already sunrise outside the tent.
Coincidentally, at this time, a group of cavalry galloped outside Qingyan City.
"Report to the patriarch, the Qingyang Commander has returned, and he is outside the tent at this time!"
Hearing this report, Xia Qi was suddenly shocked.
"Call her in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a green sheep like a wall walked in from outside the tent, her face still showing a look of exhaustion.
"Patriarch!"
Xia Qi raised his hand, and then asked, "Where have you all been this night?" ”
"We were all following the outsiders all the way yesterday, and the outsiders went all the way west and finally back to the grasslands. We, we've noticed that a lot has changed on the grassland. ”
"Change, what change?" Xia Qi asked.
Obviously, Qingyang's words aroused Xia Qi's interest.
Hearing this, Qingyang directly took out a map from his arms and spread it out, "Patriarch, you see, this was originally a wasteland, but at this time, there is an additional city, and I also noticed that the river that flows through Daxia Lake has widened several times!" ”
Xia Qi: ......
Yang Guang had told Xia Qi before that when the player engages in a full-scale war, the area where it is located will change a lot, but this change is too big!
After a moment of silence, Xia Qi ordered: "Pass the order, cut off all the heads of those outsiders, including the captives who surrendered, and I will use their heads to pay tribute to the dead soldiers and the persecuted people of Qingyan City!" ”
The moment he led the troops into the city, the women who had been humiliated by the beasts fell on their knees on both sides of the road, crying and begging him to uphold justice for them.
In this gang of miscellaneous people carried out a brutal rape in Qingyan City. Lewd. After plundering and killing people for fun, Great Xia City is destined to be unable to tolerate these bastards! Otherwise, what kind of face does he Xia Qi have to face those people of Qingyan City and the soldiers who died on the battlefield?
According to Xia Qi's order, the military funeral began, but the situation on the battlefield was too complicated, after a fight, the bodies of some soldiers could still remain intact, but some corpses would be unrecognizable, or even fragmented, so that their families and relatives could not be recognized, and naturally they could not be claimed.
There is nowhere to live after death, which is too unfair to the soldiers who died on the battlefield, and at the same time too cruel, in order to deal with this situation, Xia Qi proposed a military funeral!
Gather the bodies of all the dead soldiers in one place for cremation, this funeral, except for some special circumstances and personnel in special positions, all generals and soldiers in the city, including Xia Qi himself, must attend!
There was an oppressive atmosphere in the air, and the heads of those enemy soldiers were piled up next to the pit where the corpses of the soldiers were placed! This is Xia Qi's explanation to them! It is also an explanation to the people of Qingyan City!
At the beginning of the ceremony, the soldiers threw the firewood in their hands into the burial pit with solemn faces, and finally lit it by Xia Qi, who was holding a torch.
With the ignition of the flames, watching the morale of their comrades-in-arms slowly fade in the fire, at that moment, the grief in their hearts spread throughout Qingyan City......
After the cremation was completed, the soldiers buried it with a handful of loess.
After the military funeral, Xia Qi did not rest too much, but actively prepared for war.
The two sides are still in a state of all-out war, and unless one dies, the two sides will never be separated.
Although Xia Qi suffered some heavy losses in this battle, the royal court also suffered a lot of losses. At present, both sides are in a state of battle damage, but Xia Qi does not plan to give the other party time to breathe.
Wang Ting didn't know how long he had been in the bronze rank, and his background was far from being comparable to Xia Qi's, if the wheel recovered, he would definitely not be able to compare to the other party.
Xia Qi's current idea is to take advantage of your illness to kill you and beat the master to death indiscriminately.
The loss of more than 3,000 troops, if you want to replenish it, it will take a relatively long time, and the sooner Xia Qi launches a counteroffensive now, the more he can catch the royal court off guard, and on the contrary, the more he grinds, the more unfavorable it will be to himself!
I don't have time to think about it, Xia Qi is now racing against time in the real sense, and directly issued a 'conscription order', while greatly expanding his troops, he also sent a large number of hunting teams and fishing teams, obtained a lot of meat at the same time, and processed it into jerky.
Although it is spring, there are many animals in the jungle, and the fishing boats and canoes on Daxia Lake are even more out to catch the fish in the lake.
In addition, in this extraordinary period before the war, the Ordnance Forging Department was obviously not idle, and a group of bald heads were forging weapons in their hands, and the sound of 'jingling bells' did not stop 24 hours a day.
It must be said here that the bald heads in the forging department are not bald, but their own shaved heads, the reason is that in the forging department, the temperature of so many forging furnaces is too high, people with hair, stay here for a few minutes, directly make you sweat profusely, when the time comes, a long hair is soaked in sweat, sticking to the body is also very uncomfortable, simply shaved into a bald head, the whole person feels cooler, anyway, they don't care about this, but also from this moment on, the bald head has inexplicably become one of the symbols of the members of their forging department.
All in all, the entire Great Xia civilization was all busy with Xia Qi's order.
And when his entire civilization was running wildly, as the supreme ruler of this civilization, Xia Qi himself naturally would not be idle, inspecting the work progress of various departments and inspiring the morale of his people became his main task.
In this way, time passed quietly, and Xia Qi's side, after spending five days temporarily relocating all the people of Qingyan City to Daxia City, and then leaving five hundred soldiers under the jurisdiction of Pan, he resolutely mobilized his troops and horses, and took the initiative to launch an attack on the Netcom side.
On the other side, Wang Ting leaned on his bed sickly, listening to Wang Tian's report.
In the battle with Xia Qi, he was hit hard, coupled with the bumps along the way, he couldn't help but fall into a coma before he returned to the royal city.
When he returned to the royal city, several imperial doctors rescued him for a long time, and finally stabilized Wang Ting's injuries.
However, it seems that he is not in good spirits right now.
In the first battle of Xia Qi, he directly lost nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses, which was enough for his civilization. And all this is just the work of a rookie player who has just been promoted to the bronze rank, which is the point that he can't stand the most.
And with the attrition of 5,000 troops, his civilization has become unstable.
The royal court does not have the talent and skills to increase the loyalty of its people, or in other words, players with such talents and skills grow very fast, and they are the objects that all forces and players want to fight for.
It is also because of this that there has always been an undercurrent surging in the civilization of the royal court, and with the large attrition of the troops this time, the undercurrent has directly turned into a bright current. And the families of those soldiers who lost their loved ones also complained about the royal court.
However, compared to these small problems, the royal court is most concerned about Xia Qi.
"Oh my God, what's going on on the western border?"
Unlike other generals under his command, Wang Tian is one of his earliest fierce generals, and he can be said to be loyal to him, and his outstanding strength makes the royal court rely on him very much, and he is his absolute confidant.
"Fortunately, the last general has already drawn troops from the cities and transferred them to the western border. Just ......"
Looking at the sick Wang Ting on the bed, Wang Tian hesitated for a moment, and finally said the truth: "It's just that with the movement of troops, the security of some cities has begun to become uneasy. ”
"These abominable rats!"
Wang Ting couldn't help but scold angrily when he heard this, and then said to Wang Tian: "It's okay. The most important thing now is which tribe, and it's not too late to turn around and deal with it when it's only settled, and I want them to know that rats will always be rats! ”
As a confidant of the royal court, Wang Tian personally went to the border as a general to defend the city.
