Seeing Taicheng again, Kong Ming was really amazed, the nearly two hundred meters high city wall made Taicheng like a monster independent of the entire plain, the moat was two hundred meters wide, although it was already frozen, but it can be seen that if the battle began, then the Fifth Legion of the Harvey Empire could have the opportunity to break all these ice layers in an instant, forming a real moat, and the moat looked like it was twenty meters over, and it was a high city wall that had just been erected for a short time. There are countless magic arrays carved on the smooth city wall, judging from those shining highlights above, all of them are engraved with rare guardian magic arrays, this kind of magic array will only react after attacking, and at the same time will consume the same energy, this kind of magic array can be said to be a very practical kind of magic array, usually each magician will bring one or two similar scrolls, because it can buy more reaction time for magicians. But there are very few carved on the city wall, the main reason is that it is too expensive and cannot afford to use, and the general city uses an active magic array, which is open during battle and closed when it is not fighting, so as to save resources. However, because the mercenary army has used various means to capture many cities of Harvey, and many times those magic arrays have not been opened, so that Harvey's military is very dissatisfied, so Taicheng began this new test, and in order to make up for the lack of energy limitations of the passive magic array, the combination of active and passive is adopted, which can be said to be the greatest use of the effect of the magic array, the passive magic array is used to delay time, and the active magic array will be opened before the passive magic array consumes energy, so as to directly eliminate the possibility of a city's magic array being attacked by sneak attack, because no one will ever be able to climb a wall without being guarded again. Because the passive magic array will directly treat these things as attacks and fight back. In other words, the Fifth Army created a new era of urban defense strategy, giving those people one more choice, and it can be known that in the near future, most cities will inevitably use this as a good choice.

"It's really a turtle, it's hard to start!" Kong Ming sighed, although he said that he had seen the relevant situation on the intelligence, but he would investigate it again on the spot. There is a big difference in the feeling between the two.

"Commander, what should we do now, it seems that their defense is not ordinarily strict!" Che Yi asked on the side, now he is not only the commander of the Third Army of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Army, but also the largest intelligence officer of the Mercenary Joint Conference.

"What are the various corps doing now?" Kong Ming did not continue. Asked a different question.

"The various corps have just reported, and they are now encamped. Che replied.

"Let's go. Let's go for a spin. Maybe we can think of a solution. After saying that, Kong Ming took the chariot and a few guards and walked along the barracks facing the side of Taicheng. Today is the day when the various corps have just arrived, and since the various corps have come close enough to find a gap for the Harvey army to raid, they have all arrived here safely, and now most of them are using the nearby trees and simple barracks to prevent the enemy from attacking in the middle of the night. In the barracks, except for a part of the soldiers who were on guard. Everyone else is working. Kong Ming and Che Yi walked among the people with a few people.

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

"Commander!"

......

As Kong Ming continued to walk around among these people, those who knew Kong Ming were also constantly greeting and greeting Kong Ming, although it was said that the mercenary army that came now reached 400,000, but. Many of the backbones are people who came out of the chaotic area of Kongming, and they are indeed relatively familiar with the commander of Kongming, and even those who have not seen Kongming greet Kongming. After walking for more than an hour, Kong Ming came to a place facing Taicheng, and saw a few mercenaries constantly pouring water on the ground, and the water turned into ice in a few minutes under the action of the weather, and then poured some water, Kong Ming looked very strange, what was he doing like this?

"Commander, we are making the walls of the barracks. Su Jin said on the side, it turned out that this section was in charge of their team.

"Ice as a wall?" Kong Ming is very strange, you know, although ice is also said to be solid, but it is not the best thing, you know, once in the middle of the war, they will fall down at any time, and it will not play any role.

"Yes, we tried it today, and in this kind of weather, a layer of surface can be melted by burning for a few minutes with a third-level fire magic, but if our ice wall is thick enough, then this qiē is not a problem. Su Jin rolled up his sleeves, thinking that they would break the ice on the enemy's moat, and then use the water inside to make such an ice wall, which was also very tiring, and it was also very difficult for a senior swordsman like him.

"Use your best strength and fighting spirit to find the weakest spot from the ice wall in this area and split it. Kong Ming said to Su Doujin.

Su Jin took out his long sword, found a strong point in the ice wall of more than 100 meters back and forth, made a preparatory posture with his feet, and then made a splitting action, a powerful fighting qi slash, and flew towards the ice wall, instantly "boom!", exploded, and the ice chips flew out everywhere, only to see that the place in front of him was split into a "V" shape, and the place that was two meters wide and one and five meters deep was split. Su Jin shook his head, originally thinking that he would find a stronger place to split it, and just make a look, who would have thought that this ice wall really didn't need to be split. Kong Ming looked at such a gap carefully, you must know that with the ability of a high-level swordsman, he can only cut out so much with all his might, and this one is enough to explain the usefulness of this thing. Kong Ming raised his head and looked at Taicheng in the distance, and finally had a way. smiled and said, "Haha, Su Jin, you have made a great contribution." Che Yu, give him a regiment commander, this guy is a talent. After saying that, Kong Ming returned to the Chinese army,

As a result, Su Jin became the head of the regiment on the spot, and the original commander of the regiment let the car be transferred.

After returning to the Chinese army, Kong Ming immediately used magic images to connect all the commanders of the mercenary army with the commanders of each army. Directly start the siege meeting.

"Commander-in-chief, all the servants have arrived. Che Yi said on the side.

"Guys, let's hold a siege meeting, I'll plan for the attack first, and then if you have any questions, let's talk about it. After Kong Ming finished speaking, he walked to a wall with a map of the entire war zone hanging on it.

"First of all, it is necessary for me to introduce you to the shape of the shì, our army of 2.6 million. Directly facing the Fifth Legion of the Harvey Empire, 500,000 people, judging from the intelligence in the past few days, they are constantly transmitting people from the teleportation array that has been repaired, and it is estimated that they are teleporting the blood teams of each legion to this side. The exact number is unknown, but it is estimated that there are no less than 5,000. South. The 6th and 8th Army Corps were marching towards Wencheng. And there are traces to show it. The Harvey Empire is recruiting the nobles' private army, so if we take this Taicheng, it is estimated that the next battle should be fought at the beginning of spring. And in order to avoid trouble, we should do our best to capture Taicheng. Then decide on the next step. Kong Ming briefly explained the shape shì. Seeing everyone's expressions, Kong Ming knew that although these things were said. But the distance was really a little far, and they were a little annoyed with listening to it, so they decided to get straight to the point.

"Let's talk about the way of siege. "Hear that. All the commanders of the mercenary army listened intently.

"We took the form of an ice siege. Kong Ming's words immediately overwhelmed all the commanders, what is the meaning of besieging the city with ice? Kong Ming knew that they must not be very clear, so he explained:

"We took this method and made an ice city with ice in our inner perimeter, which was about fifty meters higher than Taicheng and about two hundred meters away from the walls of Taicheng, that is, outside the enemy's magic range, but within the range of archers. Then, we continue to fill the gap between us and Taicheng until the gap between us and Taicheng is filled, that is, we will next besiege the city with a city. Once our walls are built higher than theirs, then we can condescend and use our arrows to suppress the Harvey soldiers who are hovering on the top of the city, and then use this as a cover to take the city. I know that the project is very huge, but we can divide the soldiers into four shifts, and keep half of them ready to defend against enemy attacks at all times, and a quarter of them rest and the other quarter work, in fact, in a way, those who are resting can also be ready for war. In addition, you can think of ways to speed up the casting process of the wall. Because that's the only way we'll be able to save time to fight. And in the process of building a city, it is necessary to prevent the destruction of the enemy. Now you can ask questions if you have any questions. After finishing speaking, Kong Ming looked at the reactions of the various commanders in the magical image.

"Commander-in-chief, can't we storm it? If we do that, it will take too much time. One of them said.

"Yes, it does take too much time for us to do this, but the lives of our mercenaries are more important than time, and I would rather spend a little more time and reduce the casualties of more soldiers, and we must use this time to get acquainted with each other, otherwise we will waste our fighters in the event of a fight, which is not advisable. Kong Ming replied.

"Commander-in-Chief, what is our deadline for completion?"

"Ten days, we only need ten days to complete the casting of the ice city, and then we will need more time to carry out the siege, the latter is our real goal. Kong Ming continued.

"It takes a lot of water and ice to build a city like this, where are we going to get it?" asked one man.

"It's up to you, but be careful not to let the mercenaries risk taking water right under the noses of the enemy, it's not an option. Kong Ming added, and then everyone discussed the various possible situations and corresponding responses.

After the meeting, the atmosphere in the barracks of the mercenary army changed. According to Kong Ming, all the mercenaries have started a three-dimensional life: forging a city, resting, and defending. The scene suddenly became lively. There are also a variety of ways to get water, some of them directly dug a huge trench into the moat of Taicheng before the Harvey soldiers reacted, so as to lead the water over, and those who were close to the river directly used ice to make an aqueduct from the river to lead the water, and some directly dug up the groundwater. Some use snow to melt water, in short, various. All of a sudden, the entire barracks became like a huge construction site, and it was bustling with activity. Under the supervision of these levels, rows of ice walls were soon built more than 200 meters in front of Taicheng. And it's still not slow.

At the head of Taicheng City, until now, the defense army of Taicheng has not reacted, thinking that the mercenary army is just establishing a normal military camp. But as time went on, everyone knew that things were not that simple.

"Hurry up and report to the Legion Commander. A captain-level man said.

An hour later, Alexander and Zhang Yiming arrived at the head of Taicheng. Looking at the scene below, I gasped for a moment. What Kong Ming didn't expect was that Alexander was not only in charge of commanding the Sixth and Eighth Army Corps, but also with a Fifth Army Corps. And because this side is now the focus. So they had already rushed over with a teleportation array and commanded from the formation.

"Kong Ming, this is a big deal, he wants to surround us with ice city!" Alexander said.

"The commander of the regiment is too worried, you must know that we have a lot of food and clothing, how long can he besiege him? a year or two?" said a general who had been with Alexander for some years.

"I think they are trying their best to capture Taicheng. Think about it, if they're condescending. What should we do if we shoot us with magic and bows and arrows?" Zhang Yiming said on the side.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. When the time comes, if you burn the bottom of their ice walls with fire, it is estimated that many of them will fall down. A fire-based magician next to him said.

"Hehe, that's a good idea, but we can't let them build an ice wall here so naturally and pass on the order. Let the archers above the senior archery master attack at will and lick them a little trouble, otherwise we will not have zài. Alexander said on the side. Zhang Yiming looked like he wanted to stop talking on the side. Alexander waved his hand and went down. In the City Lord's Mansion, Alexander and Zhang Yiming sat together and said, "What can Yiming say now." ”

"I thought you didn't see it?"

"How is it possible, it's just that there are a lot of people in the mercenary army, and if there is one who knows how to lip and see us talking, it may leak out, so only here can we talk about those important things. Alexander said.

"So I'm relieved, what I just wanted to say is that Kong Ming's intention may be to use the Ice City to trap us in it, and then facilitate them to arrange more things in the back, and when the Ice City is equal to or higher than our Taicheng, it is when they attack, knowing that once that kind of thing happens, our magic array will be almost useless, after all, they can only be built on the city wall, although the active magic array can prevent these things, but the cost is too great after all. Zhang Yiming said.

"Actually, I can guess what Kong Ming thinks, think about it from another perspective, if we are Kong Ming, we are attacking Youtai City, which is now extremely defended, what do we need to do to really take down this city? If we perform like this, we will find that Kong Ming is actually saving troops, because although he wants to take down Taicheng, but in terms of his consistent lack of attention to the city, Taicheng is just because our Fifth Army is stationed here, so they can't freely enter and leave this place, just like a nail, so they have to take it off, but they don't want to pay too much price, so they have to besiege the city. Being able to pass the siege to find fighters to take Taicheng is what Kong Ming wants most. Alexander said.

I have to say that Alexander does know a lot about Kong Ming, and he also knows a rough idea of Kong Ming's thoughts, but he is not Kong Ming after all, and he doesn't know that Kong Ming actually wants to end the battle of Taicheng as much as possible, and only the ice wall can let the arrows of the mercenary army shoot into Taicheng in a short period of time, as a powerful cover, but that's all, he thinks too much.

In the next few days, the mercenary army set many records at once, including the record of the fastest ice wall, the thickest record, and the highest record, in short, in order to let these people do their best to complete this work, Che Qi, as an overseer, kept using some things to motivate these mercenaries. And all this was done under the constant interference of the Harvey army with archers.

"Commander, you see, our people let those damn Harvey archers shoot a few more, although it is said that the reaction is a little faster and dodges important places, but if it goes on like this, we are not at ease, we let us build the city, there are many brothers who are not very happy, plus the interference of the Harvey army, who still has too much sexual mood?" Kangyu complained in Su Jin's ear.

"Didn't the brother with the shield in front of him block it?" Su Jin said.

Judging from the momentum, the other party is a big archer, a seventh-level powerhouse, and these two hundred meters are a piece of cake for him. Kangyu pouted.

"Have you made a note of that person's characteristics?" asked Su Jin.

"Remember, unlike the other twenty-five, the arrow shot by that man drifted a little later, I don't know what happened?"

"In this way, there are a total of twenty-six archers in our position, one of which has just been promoted for a short time, and there are three hundred high-level archers. As much as possible, these will be reported to the division. Su Jin said.

"I'll report it right away. Kangyu replied.

Unbeknownst to Alexander, Kong Ming was not just building an ice wall, but also secretly collecting information about their archers. And the statistics show that the enemy has a total of more than 5,000 archers and 20,000 senior archers, which is a very terrifying number, which makes Kong Ming silent for a long time after seeing it.

"You should be glad you didn't throw the whole team in at once, otherwise you would have lost a lot by now. Yi Yiyi, who had just arrived from Wencheng, said.

"Yes, the number of enemies is beyond our imagination, I think, they must have teleported a lot of six or seventh-level powerhouses through the guò teleportation array, and figured out the high-end combat power of guò to make up for the lack of numbers. Che Yi also said on the side.

"Judging from the situation of archers, there are a total of 5,000 archers and 20,000 senior archers, and then according to the ratio of one to five, that is, for every one archer, there will be five great swordsmen, then the total number of them should be about 25,000, and there are about 100,000 high-level swordsmen, and in terms of magicians and archers, they should have 5,000 great mages and 20,000 senior mages, and they are really on the road of elite soldiers. Kong Ming said on the side. If Alexander were to be made aware of Kongming's inference, then he would definitely let the mercenary army build the city, and he would honestly stay in the city, because revealing military secrets could cause irreparable damage to the war.
