"You're going to send troops out of the city?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, there was a slight hesitation in his eyes.

"Hmm." Li Qingyan nodded.

"Wouldn't it be too risky?" Xu Yuan hesitated and asked in a low voice: "The barbarian camps are all located twenty miles outside the Beifeng City. ”

Twenty miles.

This is the experience that the barbarians have summed up through the lessons of blood.

Most of the city-defending equipment in the Northern Closure City are formation pattern ballistas with higher accuracy, and they also shoot thick and large source crystal arrows.

Able to hit more than ten miles away.

The barbarians camped too closely, that is a live target, and they have to accept the condescending "caresses" of the Northern Closure City every day.

For this reason, the barbarian side also specially changed their siege equipment into a beast throwing car, which is not accurate at all, but there is no need for accurate head, after all, the volume of the North Closure City is so large, as long as the miracle can hit the North Closure City.

However, the distance of 20 miles of camping also caused a problem.

If the barbarians wanted to attack the city, they had to run twenty miles on the plain before they could touch the city walls.

However, in the eyes of the barbarian side who occupy the right time and place, this is not a thing.

In the climate of the blizzard natural disaster, if the barbarians attack the city, they will basically sneak up to the time when they are three or four miles away from the northern closure city, and the high-level cultivators on the city wall can only discover the other party.

Yesterday, the Black Scale Guard was able to make some gains when he went out of the city to attack the camp, completely because the vision of the barbarian side would be affected by the blizzard natural disaster, and the foothold was not stable, and the other party was caught off guard.

Now that the blizzard is temporarily suspended, if you want to go out of the city and attack the camp, the view is no longer blocked, and the defenders in the North Closure City have to run for twenty miles by legs if they want to go out of the city and attack the camp.

Li Qingyan naturally thought of this, and his voice was indifferent:

"Horse, although the destruction of the sect's warehouse in the city is beneficial, it has also caused a disadvantage that must be solved urgently."

"Imminent?" Xu Yuan's eyes flashed.

From the macro perspective of the entire northern realm, the sect does have drawbacks, that is, lack of food.

Cultivating immortals is not a perpetual motion machine, and high-level cultivators who have advanced to the realm of merging have to have a source of Qi to breathe in order not to eat or drink, let alone those soldiers below.

But today's grain and grass are not imminent, and the city can still last for more than half a month by relying on the storage of the imperial court.

Li Qingyan's eyes were a little helpless, as if he was looking at a fool:

"Morale of the army."

“.”

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then shut up.

The location of the station was different, and there were many things that he couldn't consider.

He directly forgot about the stubble of the military heart.

In the previous life, those war games had to collapse without morale, let alone the real world.

Li Qingyan slowly walked to the sand table in the barracks, looked at the proportionally reduced terrain sand table around the North Blockade City, and said in a serious low tone:

"Now although there is a large protective array in the northern blockade, the generals and captains above are also silent about the real situation, and they treat the soldiers to report good news and not bad news, but the soldiers below are not fools."

Xu Yuan sighed and replied:

"The battle hasn't started yet, the city gate tower was almost blown up, resulting in damage to the formation, and last night's warehouse was bombed again, and the soldiers below are probably already talking about it, right?"

Li Qingyan nodded and said:

"Even among the Yulin guards under the main palace, many people began to talk about the loss of the Northern Closure City, not to mention the border troops of those sects, if it weren't for the barbarians who only regarded my people of Dayan as two-legged sheep, these people might have other careful thoughts."

Xu Yuan's eyes drooped:

"You want a win to stabilize the morale of the army?"

Li Qingyan stared at the sand table:

"Not a to, but a must."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

After all, people are individual individuals, and when the minds of most people in a collective begin to get out of control, that is the beginning of the camp.

The barbarians do not accept surrender, and the situation of encircling three and missing one will make these people try their best to flee to the area of Houting County.

After all

What if they survive?

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan asked tentatively:

"But if this trip fails, then the morale of the army in the city will be completely dissipated."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan quietly sighed, and suddenly looked back and smiled, when the decision was made, it seemed that she couldn't see the slightest solemnity on her face at all, and the armor on her body made her face look stunning and heroic:

"Horses, today's Beifeng City can only be exchanged for a glimmer of life by making a desperate bet."

“.”

Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan's smiling eyes, and was speechless for a while.

It is only a matter of time before Beifeng becomes a dead city, which is basically the default situation in the eyes of those in the know.

Including him Xu Yuan, even he has arranged the backhand of the fall of Beifeng in advance.

And Li Qingyan can't see through this situation, but she still wants to hold the North Blockade.

Exhaling a breath, Xu Yuan asked seriously:

"You're telling me this to borrow my Black Scale Army's beast farm in the city?"

Li Qingyan smiled slightly and shook his head:

"No, I want the Black Scale Army to defend the bombed-out south gate, once I make a move in the east of the city, the barbarian king will immediately attack the south of the city."

Although he didn't know how to fight, Xu Yuan instantly understood what Li Qingyan meant.

It's dangerous to go out and harass, but the southern city will become even more dangerous.

As a madman, that barbarian alien king would not let go of this opportunity, as long as it was confirmed that the Yulin army had gone to the east of the city, he would even directly use the war beast.

In such a situation, she did not dare to hand over the city defense of Nancheng to the border army of Zongmen.

It's not that I'm worried that the other party will defect to the enemy, but I simply don't trust that this group of pigs can hold on.

Although there are about 100,000 of them, all of them are second-line troops of eight or nine grades.

This kind of army was already elite in Shengshan County at the beginning, but it was not on the stage at all in a place like the northern border.

Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the sleek corners of the mahogany table, and his voice was calm:

"But the Black Scale Guard only has a battalion (5,000 men) now, and it may not be able to hold it."

Li Qingyan immediately replied:

"The palace has arranged for 30,000 border troops of the sect to assist in the defense."

"They. Won't it bring the Blackscales to the brink? ”

“.” Li Qingyan.

This, she doesn't have the bottom either.

Xu Yuan was silent for a while, slowly exhaled, and asked in a low voice:

"How long will it take for His Highness's plan to be implemented?"

"Two quarters of an hour."

“.”

Xu Yuan frowned and thought, his fingers lightly tapped the mahogany table, and in an instant he got up and said:

"Do you have a communication wafer in this barracks?"

Li Qingyan's eyes were surprised, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked:

"What's the matter, your Xiangguo Mansion still has a back hand in the Northern Closure City?"

Xu Yuan grinned:

"Yes, but it's for me to run."

Li Qingyan snorted lightly and shouted outside the tent:

"Qi Fengjie, come in, take my personal guard to the communication wafer."

As soon as the words fell, the guard who guarded the door outside immediately entered the barracks and saluted "yes".

Half an hour later,

When Xu Yuan came out of the secret room containing the communication wafer, he immediately saw Li Qingyan standing at the door.

She pressed the knife and was dressed in heavy armor:

"What did you do?"

Xu Yuan looked at the north and smiled slightly:

"Lou Ji left two "Yunqi bombs" in the area of Houting County in advance, and I just had one detonated in the area of Houting County. ”
