Chapter 357: Steel Parapet
A mountain forest in the south of the Qinling Mountains is full of peaks and peaks, the mist lingers, it is like a fairyland, several avenues run through the north and south between the mountains, and between the dangerous peaks is a fertile plain, a city is located in the middle, among which the most majestic and rich one of the drums is sounding in unison, it is very prosperous, this city constitutes a fairyland-like scene, and it is also the capital of the Boxer country...... Bailing City...
In the main hall, a long table was covered with calligraphy and paintings, Qin Yi danced the brush, and a drop of sweat oozed from his eyebrows.
When the maid on the side was about to wipe it with a scarf, Qin Yi suddenly said coldly: "While I'm writing, don't touch me..."
"Most of them spare their lives, and the slaves and maids know that they are wrong, and they don't dare anymore..."
"Stand down. β
"Yesβ" The waitress was so frightened that she withdrew from the hall.
A few minutes later, a military general walked straight in, and after stepping into the palace gate, he clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Dadutong, Long Qianlin is here..."
"It's Long Shuai, come here..."
"Yes..."
Long Qianlin came to Qin Yi's side with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and said with a slight smile: "The pen power of the majority of the capital is getting stronger and stronger, good words, good words..."
Qin Yi glanced up at him and said with a smile: "What's the use of writing well, can you dominate the country? Qin Jin's words are the best in the world, and it's not easy to lose half of the country..."
"Most of the lessons are taught. β
"How's the situation in Qin Ling?" Qin Yi asked.
Long Qianlin said: "Several camps we set up in the north of the Qinling Mountains have been attacked by the demons one after another, with a loss of about 30,000 people, so the last general has retreated most of his troops on the Qinling Mountains, and according to the natural dangers of the Qinling Mountains to resist the demons, I believe that the demons will not be able to cross the Qinling Mountains for a while." β
"Don't underestimate the demons. Qin Yi put the used brush into the pool and gently washed it, the look on his face was thoughtful, and said: "The famous general of the generation of Shenwei Hou Min Yulin once shocked the Northern Desert, and now together with the 100,000 army, the entire army has been wiped out in Winter Frost City, it is said that the Demon Clan's Armored Demon Legion can defeat one against ten, is it true? Qianlin, you should have seen the Demon Clan, right?"
"Just seen from afar. Long Qianlin frowned and said, "But...... It is true that the human soldiers cannot compete head-on with the demons, and I have seen with my own eyes that the armor demon has split our volunteers and shields in half with a single sword, and the armor demon is wrapped in hard armor, and the sword is invulnerable, unless a sharp blade pierces their eyes and mouth, it is difficult to kill. β
"Is there any news from Tongtianxing Province?
"No, I didn't. Long Qianlin said apologetically: "It is said that the demon clan came out of the deep mountains of Tongtian Province, and they killed everyone along the way. β
"Alas......"
Qin Yi sighed with a pale face, and said, "I originally thought that I would be able to dominate the country by relying on the power of Immortal Venerable, but I didn't expect that Tang Lan and Su Muyun, two old guys, would be so obscure and use Lan Yancheng to exhaust our sharp energy to give us a heavy blow, let alone that the two major provincial capitals that we had worked so hard to take from the empire would fall into the hands of the demon clan who came from nowhere. β
Long Qianlin said lightly: "The majority of the capital, the demon race is menacing, and it has the momentum to exterminate human beings, and the last general thinks that our biggest enemy today is not the empire, but the demon race." β
"Do you also think we should join forces with the Empire?" Qin Yi looked at Long Qianlin proudly.
Long Qianlin hurriedly bowed his head and hugged his fists and said, "The last general will not dare." β
"How's the construction of the steel parapet going?"
"It's already forty percent completed, and it's not enough to resist the demons for the time being, but as long as there are three more months, I believe that the steel parapet wall will be enough to make us invincible, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"It's just that Dadutong, there are a total of ninety-seven large and small cities in the Boxer Kingdom north of the steel wall, if we really withdraw our troops to the south of the steel wall, I'm afraid these cities will be equivalent to giving up to the demons, most of them, those are the people of the Boxer Kingdom..."
"Those who achieve great things are not informal. Qin Yi glanced at Long Qianlin deeply, and said: "Long Shuai, don't forget that you are one of the commanders of the empire, and now the only person I can rely on is you, you are solely responsible for the Boxer Kingdom's resistance to the demons, don't let me down, we can still recapture the gains and losses of Qinling's city and land, but once the steel wall is broken, I'm afraid Lingnan will soon become the territory of the demons." β
"Yes, the last general will do his best..."
"Okay, let's go. β
"Yes..."
Long Qianlin turned away, while Qin Yi looked at his back, there was something strange in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled with emotion: "Brother Huang, I really regret it, if you were also alive, I wouldn't be so lonely to resist the demons... Qin Yin's little girl, I'm afraid she has already panicked now, and she doesn't know how to deal with the demon invasion. β
......
Lan Yan City, there are many ministers in the Zetian Palace, Qin Yin stood in front of the throne in a princess robe, looking at everyone with beautiful eyes and majesty, handed out the golden edict in his hand, and said, "Come on, read the edict." β
"Yes..."
Su Muyun stepped forward tremblingly, took the holy edict from his granddaughter, and said loudly after unfolding it: " The invasion of the demon clan is imminent, and when the empire has survived for thousands of years, Qin Yin has exhausted the three armies in the name of the empress, and set up seven major legions in the tributaries of the Daojiang River east of Wugu City to resist, the first legion of 50,000 people, led by the commander Fengjixing, the second legion of 50,000 people, by Su Yu, the third legion of 50,000 people, by Xiang Yu, the fourth legion of 50,000 people, by Lin Muyu, the fifth legion of 50,000 people, by Su Yong, the sixth legion of 50,000 people, by Jinghai Hou Yaoyuan, the seventh legion of 50,000 people, by Lingbei Hou Tanglu, Lingxi Hou Tang Tian sat in the town together, Xue Ling, the secretary of the military department, was responsible for the supply of grain, grass and blades, Chu Yao, the archdeacon of the Elixir Division, was responsible for the supply of medicine, and the empress Qin Yin would move to Wugu City to supervise the battle..."
The crowd fell to their knees.
Wei Qiu was beside Lin Muyu, and said with a slight smile: "Finally, I can kill the enemy with the commander again..."
Qin Yan smiled: "Lord Wei Qiu, you still can't change your words, the eldest brother is not the commander now, he is the commander, the commander of the more than 10,000 troops of the Gentian Battalion..."
"Got it, I'll change it slowly. β
Lin Muyu turned to look at the two of them and said, "You guys be quiet and quiet." β
"Yes, Lord Archon..."
"Are the people of the Zhenguo Army coming?"
"It's here this morning, Lord Wei Qiu and I have already counted the number of people, a full 20,000, one no more and one no less, Sister Xiaoxi didn't give the wrong person. Qin Yan said with a smile.
Lin Muyu nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "Defend the enemy, Your Highness has selected 13,000 people from the recruits in Dusk Rain City to give us an army of 50,000, have these troops been counted?"
"It's all here. Wei Qiu smiled: "Don't worry, although these people are all new recruits, they have been training for three months, and as long as they are not frightened when they are in battle, they should still be able to kill the enemy." β
"That's good. Lin Muyu frowned and said, "The defensive position of our Fourth Legion is just next to Brother Feng's First Legion, and once the Demon Clan attacks, it will be one of the biggest force points, so we must be cautious." β
"Yes..."
After the edict was read, everyone went to prepare separately, and Lin Muyu slowly left Zetian Hall with the three generals Wei Qiu, Qin Yan, and Fengxi, chatting about military supplies.
"How many arrows do we have?"
"Two hundred thousand. Qin Yan said: "The Ministry of War has allocated 200,000 arrows to each legion, and there are only so many. β
"It's not enough. β
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "Do we still have arrows in stock in the Gentian Battalion?"
"Yes..."Wei Qiu said: "There are still more than 100,000 arrows on Longyan Mountain, and in addition, the number of white diamond arrows is about more than 80,000, my lord, can the white diamond arrows shoot through the carapace of the demon race?"
"Yes, but 80,000 is not enough. β
Lin Muyu frowned and said, "You go and take care of the needs of the Fourth Legion first, and then I'll think of a way." β
"Yes..."
......
The legion was stationed outside Lanyan City, and the three generals rode away, while Lin Muyu stroked the snow-white mane of Taxue and gently instigated her to go straight to the direction of the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce.
On Tongtian Street, the major chambers of commerce have gradually regained their original prosperity, people come and go, endlessly, the smoke above the blacksmith shop, the tinkling sound is constant, when the war comes, the business of the blacksmith shop is no better, some imperial officers want to take advantage of the blade more handy, some rangers, mercenaries also want to have a weapon on their side, this needs to be done in the ironsmith shop.
Lin Muyu rode his horse slowly, his eyes raised, and found that the plaques of several ironware shops on the periphery of the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce had been replaced with "Ziyin Flower Weapons Line", it seems that Jin Xiaotang is really a talent, just relying on his own 300W Jin Yin coins to start has been constantly swallowing up the surrounding industries, once the Chamber of Commerce forms a complete industrial chain, it is equivalent to a business empire.
And now Lin Muyu needs a commercial empire to backing up his 50,000 Fourth Legion troops, blades, war horses, grain and grass, etc. cannot completely rely on the imperial military department, after all, Xue Ling is Tang Lan's person, he supplies grain and grass on time, and the blades are fine, if he doesn't on time, then I'm afraid he can only rely on himself.
A temple clerk recognized Lin Muyu early, and hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said, "Archdeacon, you are here..."
"Hmm. Lin Muyu handed over the war horse to a small servant and said, "Take me to see Xiaotang." β
"Yes..."
The two of them walked through the rows of medicinal herb shops, spirit stone shops, weapon shops, etc. in the Ziyin Flower Chamber of Commerce, and when they came to the back hall, they heard Jin Xiaotang's voice from a distance: " Shopkeeper Luo, your shield is not only not strong but also wear-resistant, our guy used your shield to make a solid yΓ n and was almost shot to death, if you really want to join the Ziyinhua Chamber of Commerce, there is no problem, but we will take thirty percent of your profits, if you agree, you will sign, if you don't agree, go to a few other firms, but for the sake of our friends, I have to sue you, the Dragon Hunting Chamber of Commerce will draw at least fifty percent of your profits, and your daughter is so beautiful, maybe ......"
The shopkeeper of Naluo trembled: "It's a deal, Miss Xiaotang..."
"Hey, that's right, your arms can't twist your thighs, you have to fight with me, what a waste of time... Miss Ben's time is very precious, and she has to settle accounts and pull relationships, and she has to go on a date or something......"
Shopkeeper Luo: "......"
