Qin Ning promised the second prince to be appointed as a military advisor, and he worked hard and hard for this day.

Now, the Second Prince and the Yelan King are finally going to have a frontal large-scale confrontation, which is the best opportunity to consume the strength of both sides on a large scale.

On a normal level, the strength of the second prince is still a grade worse than that of the Yelan King, which means that in order to achieve the goal of consuming the Yelan King, Qin Ning must also work hard, and he can't let the second prince hold on after a few rounds.

Thinking of this, Qin Ning smiled and said, "Your Highness, we have worked so hard just for this day. But don't forget, if you go out on a business trip at this time, all your previous efforts will be in vain. So, even though we're already in the city, we're going to prepare for the worst. ”

No matter how excited the second prince is, he has to admit that this is the most rational idea.

"Yes, yes, the military advisor is right, you should prepare for the worst. Military division, the river of despair has broken through, our logistics and transportation are not a problem, you see, what else is needed, just say, I will delegate all the military power to you, you have the final say in the war, as for what is needed, I will be responsible. ”

"Your Highness's love really makes Qin Ye grateful. Your Highness can rest assured that Qin Ye will definitely win the Soul Fortune City and live up to His Highness's care. ”

At this time, Qin Ning had to give the second prince a few reassuring pills, so that the second prince would persevere to the end.

"Your Highness, I know that the army is far away from our homeland, and logistics are very difficult. But once the army moves, it is out of control. Our supply is also a long way to go, and there is no return on action. It's a failure. Therefore, we must be cautious and cautious in our use of troops. ”

"Strategist, I understand what you mean, and I know that you made the right decision. I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask, what the military division needs, I'm so equipped. ”

"Your Highness, what is needed, I haven't thought of it for the time being. That's right. Something. It is also necessary for His Highness to deal with it personally. I want to take some people to investigate the peripheral situation of Soul Luck City, and during this period, Your Highness should pay close attention to the situation in the army. ”

The second prince didn't think about it and said: "At this point, the military advisor can rest assured." You go and do your thing. What you confessed. I'll do it myself. ”

With the second prince's consent, Qin Ning arranged the defense of the army and set off with Lu Ling. Approach Soul Luck City. Since he couldn't see the situation inside from standing on the ground, Qin Ning took Lu Ling with him until night, and then flew into the air and looked down on the situation below from mid-air.

The part of Soul Fortune near the River of Despair is a circular fortification of three walls built along a small gentle slope.

At the bottom of the gentle slope is the first wall, which can be four zhang high and one zhang wide, and is a dead city wall without any gates.

Visually, the first city wall was made of stone. Inside the city walls, close to the base of the city walls, there are six lookout points, and through the guò lookout point, it is possible to observe all the qiē between the river of despair and the first to the city wall.

It seems that the situation of the second prince's army arriving here has long been known to the other party.

However, the other party didn't move at all, could it be that he had no fear? Qin Ning had some doubts, at least, seeing that so many troops were coming, it was also necessary to increase the number of people who defended, right?

You know, even if the fortifications are strong, but the people who are responsible for watching and observing are people, and people will have an irrepressible fear of the dense army of black pressure, at this time, even if they send a few people to help defend it, it will give these people some psychological comfort.

But now, there is no sign of increasing the number of people at the lookout point!

Upward, in the middle of the gentle slope, there is a city wall built of bricks and stones, which is also six zhang high and one zhang wide, except that on this city wall, there are three gates for entry and exit. On the city wall, every three feet or so, there is a soldier guarding it.

At the top of the gentle slope, there is a solid city wall, ten zhang high and two zhang wide, with a huge gate made of muddy iron in the middle. It can be seen that this city wall is heavily guarded, and on the road of the city wall, there are groups of soldiers, fully armed, patrolling back and forth.

Qin Ning watched it for a while, and then flew down with Lu Ling. Qin Ning expressed his doubts and wanted to hear what Lu Ling thought.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ling knew a lot.

According to Lu Ling, the three walls of Soul Fortune City that he saw had a saying.

If a fully formed army attacks here according to the normal army configuration, it must be attacked from the first to the city wall on the periphery.

The thick stone walls were actually unable to withstand two rounds of heavy artillery attacks, and the only function of the city walls was to protect the six lookout posts in the city walls.

By the time the enemy had begun, this was not the ideal main battlefield, and the enemy lookout posts would retreat to the second wall as soon as the first cannon fire was fired.

In this way, after two rounds of heavy artillery strikes, the enemy could enter the middle of the first and second walls.

And the mixed structure of the second city wall could not withstand the fierce attacks of heavy artillery for five rounds, and it was still a defensive line to be broken through by the opponent. However, this second wall is not a strong defense line to block the enemy in terms of design at all, but is here to consume the enemy's artillery fire.

In the second line of defense, there are many crude heavy artillery, which can be used to return fire, if nothing else, to delay the pace of the enemy's attack.

After breaking through the second line of defense, the attacking enemy army will be surprised to find that between the second and third walls, due to the topography, the heavy artillery cannot advance to the most effective attack range, so they can only bombard the third wall under the second wall.

The three city walls are rammed into a seamless high-bombardment city wall, and the city gate is also a seamless iron gate, and the heavy artillery fired from the second city wall cannot pose a substantial threat to the three city walls at all. If you want to capture the three walls, you can only rely on flying or ground troops to climb ladders and use human lives.

But the walls of the three city walls are wide enough, and a variety of high-level alchemy weapons against the ground and air can be erected on them, whether it is from the air or from the ground threat, I am afraid that they will be killed before they get close.

This kind of three-stage three-dimensional defense city defense building usually has a wide range of applications in the right geographical location. Because the invading enemy has broken through the first two lines of defense through great difficulty, but he sighs in vain for the last line of defense. Therefore, the third integrated wall is also called the Wall of Sighs.

Qin Ning said with a smile: "It seems that it is indeed better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books." No matter how much I observe, I can't see the mystery in this, or you are experienced and well-informed, and you can see the power at a glance. ”

Lu Ling scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Strategist, I'm a little embarrassed to see what you said." Actually, let's be honest with you, this kind of three-stage three-dimensional defense building is found in many places, and I have led a team to attack and suffered a big loss, so I am so familiar. ”

"Hahahaha, I see. However, General Lu's loss was worth it. If I had not known this, if I had ignored these problems, once a fight broke out, the casualties would not be ordinarily small. ”

"Military advisor ......" Lu Ling looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Oh, General Lu, do you have anything to say? But it doesn't hurt to say it, I see you as a brother from the bottom of my heart. No matter what it is, whether it's a business or a private matter, you just have to say it. ”

Lu Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked around again, and said, "Strategist, I've always wanted to say this, but I don't have the opportunity to get along with you alone. Strategist, since you said so, then I'll be straight to the point. ”

"General Lu, I see that you are usually magnanimous and very manly, what is wrong today? ”

"Strategist, not only do I think so, but many brothers also think so, the strategist is capable and unpredictable, how can he be under the command of the second prince?"

Qin Ning was still very interested, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately became alert, what did Lu Ling mean by this?

"What the hell do you want to say?" Qin Ning's face suddenly drooped.

Qin Ning knew that Lu Ling belonged to the category of miscellaneous generals, although he won a place under the second prince by relying on his skills, but because of his background, Lu Ling never reached the height of the status corresponding to his skills.

Moreover, judging from the contact these days, Lu Ling is also a bright and upright man, and he has a life-saving grace for him, so he should not be sent by the second prince to test it.

But the key is that now is the critical moment for the second prince and the Yelan King to fight. In case the second prince notices something, once the second prince withdraws, it will be even more difficult to find another opportunity for the two heroes of the Seven Star Iron Wall to fight.

Therefore, Qin Ning wanted to downplay this matter.

"Military Division!" Lu Ling's face was full of calmness, and he said, "I, Lu Ling, am a rough person, and I also know the word loyalty." The second prince gave me a qiē, and I have already repaid it with my life. To be honest, I don't have too many extravagant expectations, I just want to be treated the same as everyone else. However, after so many years......"

"Don't you feel resentful if you don't get treatment?" Qin Ning said coldly.

"Hey......" Lu Ling said with a long sigh, "If it's just bad treatment, forget it." But no matter what I do, I have a pair of eyes staring at me, it's just a merit, a little mistake, and it will soon reach the ears of the second prince, military advisor, you say, can I still live such a life?"

Qin Ning was gloomy, knowing that Lu Ling's words were not false.

In the Battle of Panlongling, wasn't he also "assisted" by the Mongolian side sent by the second prince overnight?

His status is so high, his merits are so great, and he is the commander of the forward battalion, all of which are like this, how could Lu Ling not have such treatment......?
