The fighting in the distance gradually stopped, the battle seemed to be over, Hu Wei was standing alone in front of the hillside, looking at the white clouds in the sky, it was a new day, the sun was still rising high, but how many people could not see today's sun again.

"Young marshal, it's windy here. Jebel reminded Hu Wei in a whisper.

"You haven't gone to sleep yet?" Hu Wei turned his head to look at Zhebe. For three days and three nights, Jebe stayed by his side and didn't close his eyes for a minute.

"I'm not tired. Jebel said seriously. Although she herself knows that there are many masters around Hu Wei, the actual meaning of her own personal guard is not much. But if she doesn't stay by Hu Wei's side, she just doesn't feel at ease.

"I'm tired. Hu Wei smiled. It's the truth, he does feel tired. For three days and three nights, he issued no less than a thousand orders. Some orders are not so important, while others are related to the life and death of thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

After eight years of fighting, Hu Wei still has no way to see those fresh lives as numbers. Because he used to be one of those numbers.

Lin Gui people, Ningnan people, Cangwu people, and Mandala people are all the same people in Hu Wei's eyes now. The death of every soldier made Hu Wei feel very heartbroken. It was really hard to imagine that he had made a plan to push the combat power of the entire Lin Gui Empire to the tip of the alien race. If it weren't for that amnesia, I'm afraid this plan would still be in progress.

"The young marshal is tired, it is better to go and rest for a while. Jebelti said.

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "I can't sleep yet." ”

Yes, Hu Wei can't sleep now, the war is not over, but has just begun. According to the latest information received, the aliens have reinforced another 100,000 troops, and now more than 300,000 aliens have gathered around Chuanling City.

Although Hu Wei has 400,000 people in his hands, in terms of combat power, it is still far from enough, and there are too many things for him to consider.

"Young marshal. A soldier came to Hu Wei's side and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" asked Hu worriedly. In the past few days, many people have been scolded by him, and the soldiers below are a little afraid of him.

"I just received the news, General Chen Baiyi, he ......"

"Chen Baiyi died in battle?" Hu Wei was shocked, although this general had been thrown out of the barracks by him, his position on Emperor Lin Gui's side was still very important, if he died in battle, it would be another heavy blow to Lin Gui's army.

"It's not General Chen, it's his son-in-law Chen Youdao. In the battle for Liyu Ridge, he was hacked to death by aliens. The soldier hastened to add.

With a wave of his hand, the soldier stepped back. Chen Baiyi really served the country this time, and even his only son was sent to the battlefield.

"General Chen, ...... for Ling Gongzi"

"The young marshal doesn't need to comfort me, there is a way to be a soldier, and it is a matter of course for a soldier to die on the battlefield. Chen Baiyi interrupted Hu Wei's words.

Chen Baiyi, who has just experienced the pain of losing his son, does not seem to have any abnormalities on the surface, but everyone can see that he is holding on.

God seems to be cruel to him, his son was disobedient before, and he was half dead every day. Finally, the son repented, but in less than a day, he died in the sand.

Chen Baiyi's words made Hu Wei smile bitterly in his heart, and he opened his mouth a few times, but he didn't dare to say what came out of his mouth. He didn't come to comfort Chen Baiyi, he wanted to come to tell Chen Baiyi that the whole army was preparing to withdraw into Sichuan Ling City.

The speed of the increase in the alien race greatly exceeded the previous estimate, and now the number of troops has reached 300,000, and the previous tactics can no longer be supported. Retreating to Chuanling City, defending the city, street fighting has become the only option.

Previously, Hu Wei used the street battle in Sichuan Lingcheng to threaten Chen Baiyi to recover Liyuling with all his might. But now, Liyuling is dead in Chen Baiyi's hands, for which he also lost his only son, and now he wants to sue him that Liyuling is useless, let him give up retreating.

In other words, this is to tell Chen Baiyi that his son's sacrifice has no effect on the original.

Even if he is hard-hearted, he doesn't know how to say this to Chen Baiyi.

However, the situation was urgent, and this decision had to be made. And this news, no matter which aspect it is considered, should be told by Hu Wei and Chen Baiyi.

Seeing that Hu Wei was silent for a long time, Chen Baiyi looked up at Hu Wei and asked, "Does the young marshal have anything to say to me?"

Hu Wei gritted his teeth and said secretly: If you die, you will die, and you will find a way to compensate him in the future. ,

"That's the ......" Hu Wei briefly explained the current form to Chen Baiyi, and while talking, he paid attention to Chen Baiyi's movements. has already made a plan in his heart, as soon as Chen Baiyi makes any moves, he will run away first.

Contrary to Hu Wei's expectations, Chen Baiyi just listened quietly and did not make any radical movements.

"What, did Chen Baiyi scold you? I think there must be, I knew that it was better for me to say it. As soon as Ximen Yufeng saw Hu Wei coming back, he immediately greeted him.

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "Chen Baiyi is very calm and said that he would cooperate with our actions." ”

"Really?" Ximen Yufeng was a little incredulous.

Hu Wei didn't speak again, quietly picked up the teacup, and drank it in small sips. A belt of soldiers, sure enough, has their realm. Compared with Chen Baiyi, he is much worse.

Chuanling City, the most important strategic place of the Lingui Empire, since its establishment, it has experienced no less than three hundred battles here, the largest of which is said to have died more than ninety percent of the whole city of Chuanling City, some people call this the city of corpses, and now Hu Wei is here.

Under the command of the planned retreat in batches, the work of returning to the city was quite smooth. In one day, more than half of the 400,000 troops had returned to the city. Those who have not yet come back are all broken troops.

Hu Wei stood on the city tower, looking at the busy figures of the sappers, silent. Just now, Chen Mengjie had already told him the history of Sichuan Ling City, and he didn't interject, just listened quietly.

City of Corpses?

Maybe history is repeating itself again.

Novel~just} comes

"Young marshal, the fortifications in the east of the city have been completed. Wu Ming, commander of the Ningnan Front, reported. He originally wanted to call Hu Wei the prince, but after all, Hu Wei did not marry Ouyang Hanbing, so he still didn't call him that in the end.

Wu Ming and Ouyang Hanbing can be regarded as playmates who grew up together since childhood, and they are one of the talents cultivated by the old emperor Ouyang Putin for Ouyang Hanbing. In terms of loyalty, there is no problem at all. The lily group under his command is also completely at the behest of Hu Wei.

"How is Liang Tian's side. Hu Wei asked. Lang Tian is the commander of the Cangwu Empire, and the combat power of the Blood Wave Regiment under him is very good, but Liang Tian is very arrogant, and he has to judge every order of Hu Wei to show his ability.

Hu was worried that he hoped that the Cangwu Empire could send Liang Fatpang over to be the commander, but it was a pity that Liang Fatpang obviously did not have such a high status, so he did not come to the Lin Gui Empire this time.

"I'm afraid it's still a little worse over there, but the fortifications of the Blood Wave Regiment are very well repaired. In Wu Ming's tone, there was obviously a tone of admiration. Although Liang Tian is arrogant, he has real skills. In the previous battles, his troops had basically not let Hu Wei worry about anything.

"Hmm. That's good. Hu Wei didn't say anything more. Since he sat in chief and was no longer in the fire battle, he had become a lot quieter.

"Young marshal, Harrison and Liang Tian have quarreled. Zhu Daneng hurriedly came to Hu Wei's military tent, the fresh water in the city was tight, he had not taken a bath for three days, and the smell on his body was very strong. Fortunately, Hu Wei is used to it, otherwise he would have to vomit.

"What are they arguing about?" Hu Wei put down the battle report in his hand, the aliens had been besieging the city for three days, and they had no plans to attack, so they didn't know if they were playing some conspiracy.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Liang Tian's kid criticized you behind your back, and when Harrison heard it, he quarreled. Zhu Daneng got up, and Wu Ming couldn't help frowning a little when he said those unpleasant words. Fortunately, it's Harrison, and I'm going to change the waiting, and the morning guy is up.

"Ignore him. Hu Wei continued to look at the text in his hand, Liang Tian and Harrison are both thoughtful people, and quarrels are not a big problem, so they will not be impulsive enough to do it.

Da Neng also knows a certain amount of about them, and knows that they are just arguing.

"Is there anything else?" Hu Wei couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Zhu Daneng hadn't gone out yet.

Zhu Daneng glanced at Zhebei and whispered: "I spoke unintentionally, Chen Baiyi's dead ghost son used to have a fight in Sichuan Ling City. ”

Hu Wei frowned and did not speak.

Zhu Daneng knew that Hu Wei must be crooked, so he quickly explained: "I mean I want to find her out and see if it is possible for her to take Chen Youdao's child." ”

Chen Baiyi lost his son when he was old, although he didn't say it on the surface, he must have been very painful in his heart. If only he could have a grandson, he would be able to untie a lot of knots in his heart. Zhu Daneng is very careful in this regard.

Hu Wei smiled and said, "Then you send someone to take a look, I think this can be available." ”

What can be, Hu Wei did not say it explicitly. However, Zhu Daneng already understood what Hu Wei meant. Regardless of whether Chen Youdao's boss has a son or not, he can give Chen Baiyi a grandson. ,

Zhu Daneng nodded and went out, the general is not just a war, he has to know many things.

"What, I heard that you don't deal with Liang Tian very well these days?" Hu Wei poured Harrison a glass of wine. This Harrison is also in his forties this year, and his anger is still the same as back then.

"I just don't like him. Harrison snorted as he took a sip of the wine in his hand.

"You're like a child sometimes. Hu Wei shook his head.

The head shook violently, startling the sky with dust. It is the masterpiece of the alien trebuchet, and after the occupation of the Sebai Empire, the use of various weapons by the aliens has made great progress, and it is really becoming more and more wrong.

Hu Wei turned his head to take a look, ignored it, and continued to drink and eat. The attack of the aliens has already attacked five. Maybe it was because he felt that he had an advantage, and he didn't fight as fiercely as the previous valley battle.

"Young marshal, I heard that you are going to open up land in the city to grow things?" Harrison suddenly thought of the rumors he had heard before, and asked.

The relationship between the upper echelons of the Immortal Bird Legion is quite good, and it will not be so strict in these aspects, and everyone can talk about many things like friends.

"I had this idea. There are no vegetables in the city, and many of our soldiers are not used to it. But the weather here is too cold, I'm afraid I can't plant it. "Hu Wei's idea was once talked about during a meal with a soldier.

The food reserves in Chuanling City are quite sufficient, but they are all rice and noodles, there are no green vegetables, and there is not a lot of meat. Hu Wei wondered if he could grow some vegetables, raise some pigs or something.

The current fighting style of the aliens is a little tepid, and this time I am afraid that it will be a protracted war, which can improve the fire food, which is also a good thing for the soldiers.

Harrison said, "I have a way. I remember when I was in Anrong, I saw people using their houses to grow vegetables. It's quite warm in the house, so it's not a problem to grow. ”

"Greenhouse?" Hu Wei was stunned, he had thought about greenhouses before, but there was no industry in the Wind Continent this day, and it was not possible to produce warm film, so it was a good way to build a house to grow vegetables. Many people in this Sichuan Spirit City have withdrawn, and their houses and spaces are also empty, and they may be able to use them.

"It's a way to think again. Hu Wei smiled: "There is a war outside, but we are talking about vegetable seeds, which is very elegant." ”

"Growing vegetables is also elegant?" Ximen Yufeng came in and took Hu Wei's words casually.

"Feng'er, come, accompany me to have a drink. Hu Wei took an empty cup.

Ximen Yufeng shook his hand and said, "Don't hurt me." Your rules, if you have a task, you are not allowed to touch alcohol. ”

Hu Wei smiled embarrassedly: "Do you remember clearly, the aliens have retreated?"

"Hmm. Today's attack was a little more fierce than yesterday's, and more than a thousand people died before retreating. I really don't know what they're thinking. I don't fight once a day. Ximen Yufeng said with some unhappiness.

"It's not bad to let our troops rest, and we'll keep up with all changes. Hu Wei said lightly. There was plenty of food in the city, and he was not afraid. It's normal to fight a siege for another year or two. It's just that the Immortal Bird Legion rarely fought this kind of battle before.

The soldier pushed the door in and reported, "Young Marshal, General Chen Baiyi is here." ”

"Ask him to come in. Hu Wei put down the book in his hand. He could probably guess Chen Baiyi's intention. Zhu Daneng's kid is quite good at doing it, and he really let him turn out Chen Youdao's spell, what is the specific situation, Hu Wei didn't ask. He only knows that Chen Baiyi is now a dead son and a grandson.

"Young marshal. Chen Baiyi gave Hu Wei a military salute. Since the last time he was thrown out of the barracks by Hu Wei, he has been very aware of this aspect.

"General Chen, please take a seat, Jebel, and make a cup of tea for the old general. ”

"Young Marshal, you are busy with official business, and I won't bother much. To make a long story short, I'm here to thank you. Chen Baiyi's face was full of gratitude.

"Thank me?" Hu Wei pretended not to understand very much, the matter of finding the child was all done by Zhu Daneng. It's really not so clear.

Chen Baiyi smiled heartily and said, "I know, it was the young marshal who helped me find my grandson." If you are grateful, I won't say more, in short, I will keep this love in my heart. ”

Chen Baiyi only chatted for a while, then said goodbye and left. Looking at his brisk steps, Hu Wei nodded secretly, Zhu Daneng did a good job this time. Give the old man a hope, stronger than anything else.

On this day, Hu Wei gathered his subordinates for a meeting. Ximen Yufeng, Chen Mengjie, Chen Baiyi, Zhu Daneng, Harrison, Wu Ming, and Liang Tian were all present. ,

The first item discussed at the meeting was the analysis of the strategy of alien peoples. It has been a month since the aliens attacked Chuanling City, and it has always been tepid, not like a war, but very much like a military training.

Combining all the information, nothing was found. I can't guess what kind of tricks the aliens are playing.

Zhu Daneng said: "I think the aliens want to guard us here to see who is longer than their lives." I mention yì, they are not hot, we can pick them, and from time to time we will also send troops out of the city to fight with them. ”

Chen Mengjie shook his head and said: "Fighting on the plains is not good for our army, it will not help much, I don't agree." I think we should send more spies to get to the bottom of the problem. ”

Hu Wei noticed that Wu Ming wanted to speak several times, but he took it back again, and said with a smile: "Wu Ming, if you have something to say, you are afraid of something." ”

Wu Ming nodded and said, "I just have an idea. Until this time, we had been wondering why the aliens didn't attack us violently. I don't know if you have thought about it, maybe it's not that the aliens don't want to fight, but that they can't afford to launch a large-scale siege war.

Wu Ming's words made the venue quiet. The average alien can fight at least two or three Terran soldiers, and now there are 300,000 aliens outside the city, and there are 400,000 Terrans in the city.

Liang Tian snorted: "You mean that the aliens don't have 300,000 troops outside the city? This is impossible, our best spies in the Cangwu Empire have already found out, and the aliens do have so many troops." The strength of our Cangwu Empire's spies, you shouldn't have to question it. If you can't even believe them, then you have nothing to believe. ”

Everyone knows that Liang Tian likes to blow, and everyone doesn't bother to pay attention to him. However, Liang Tianzhi is right, no matter from which aspect of the intelligence is summarized, the number of aliens is 300,000, which will not be wrong.

Hu Wei thought about it for a while, and said: "I think there is some truth in Wu Ming's words, and there may be something wrong with the aliens, which has greatly reduced the combat power." Of course, this does not rule out that there is a conspiracy in it. Over the past few years, the aliens have become a lot smarter. We had to be careful.

I don't think it's as good as this, let's investigate this aspect from all aspects. In particular, the troops who are still outside should pay attention to the movements in this regard. ”

Outside Chuanling City, scattered all over the Lin Gui Empire, there are also 100,000 immortal bird troops, 50,000 Nanning troops and 50,000 Cangwu Empire troops.

Everyone expressed some opinions again, and the next discussion was the issue of growing vegetables in Chuanling City. Growing vegetables while fighting is a new thing.
