Chapter 368: The War Stands

The movement of the Shaodian army is still a step slower, the huge city wall that spans the three counties has been built ten meters high, and millions of people are still rushing to work, the city wall is constantly increasing and thickening, and the trend will not stop until it reaches twenty meters.

"Helian Yu! What is she in her head? She dares to think and do this kind of thing! Thinking about the agreement she made to the state pastor, she was already planning it at that time. 'New General God', she deserves this title. Jiang Zhi sighed.

Nannuma Prefecture is once again in crisis, and the previously stable defense line is in jeopardy.

The governor Shaodian was anxious and ordered the whole state to urgently recruit troops, and the city defense troops in the rear cities were immediately transferred to the front line to replenish the various legions that were lacking, especially the Twelfth Corps.

The Kong family stood up at this time, recruited soldiers in Wenguo County and surrounding cities and counties, and built a regiment in the south by itself, with Kong Liang as the commander.

At the urging of Jiang Xi, the Haitian 1st Army had joined forces with the 1st Army of Zhongdi, and the southern front, which was the weakest in strength, was strengthened, relying on the terrain to suppress the 4th and 9th Army Corps of Meng.

Seeing the steady stream of reinforcements, Jiang Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Zhi pondered hard in his room for a day, and came out in a much better mood today, "My lord, our troops are also more than one million, and it is difficult to recover the lost land, but it is not a big problem to block Helian Yu's attack. ”

"What's your plan?"

"Helian Yu's walls can effectively resist our army's attack, but it also limits their mobility and direction of attack. After reconnaissance, nine gates were opened along the entire city wall, and the enemy must come out of these nine places if he wanted to launch a large-scale attack, and those small units that came out of the wall were at most engaged in reconnaissance and harassment.

Our army only needs to station a certain number of troops outside the nine city gates, and the main army can rest and recuperate in the rear, and support wherever the enemy situation is discovered; in other places, more surveillance towers will be built, more traps will be set up in dense forests, and more new recruits will be allowed to carry out patrol tasks, so as to train troops in actual combat. When more reinforcements are brought in from the rear, they can take the initiative to attack their weak points. Jiang Zhi saw the pros and cons of the city wall.

"Well, put your fists away and look at the target before smashing it out, since you can't get the first move, let's strike later. There were ten corps rushing to the war zone, except for the twentieth corps, each of the other corps sent a division to block the city gate, and it was rotated once every three months. You can discuss other specific arrangements with the staff officers of the army and make a detailed plan for me. "Jiang Xi had to accept the fact that he had lost the strategic initiative.

The county seat of Yanling, the former county guard.

The hall of the county guard was brightly lit, but the guards and attendants were far away, and no one dared to get within twenty paces of the hall, and from time to time there was the sound of artifacts falling to the ground from the hall.

A girl with a sweet appearance like a girl next door, walking around the hall alone with bare jade feet, with a broken thought in her mouth, "The Shaodian Kingdom has not yet been defeated, and there are still a million troops lined up in front of the pass, and they have begun to quarrel over the small profits." ”

"It's the same in China, even if I'm not the commander of this break, I can be a Zhenhai Gong with peace of mind when I go back"

"Don't want to forge ahead? What a joke, people are quick to replenish troops, or are we quick to replenish troops? If you launch a large-scale campaign, many people will die, and you don't see the commander's office to increase my troops. ”

"Who is the other side making the plan? What does the military intelligence department do, I don't even know who the opponent is, how can I analyze his weaknesses?"

The two guards exchanged ears.

The guard armor asked, "Commander, what's the matter?"

"It's not the Cao people and the Qi people who are making trouble, I heard that they have pulled the troops out to confront each other. Guard B replied quietly.

"I've heard that there are military bigwigs in China who have questioned the lack of progress on the front line after the Chinese New Year. The guard looked left and right.

"Shhh, the people in the rear can say whatever they want, but you can't talk nonsense in the war zone. The soldiers of Shaodian Country are not muddy, this is their territory, how can it be so easy to progress. Guard B lowered his voice, "Pay attention in the past two days, Lord Commander is in a bad mood, be careful if you make a mistake, and your Lord will punish you to go behind enemy lines to find out information." ”

The sudden appearance of the city wall shocked the military history researchers of the mainland countries, and because this strategic move was proposed by Helian Yu, everyone called it "Helian Yu Wall".

Shaodian Guo reacted quickly to the appearance of the "Helian Jade Wall", and the main force disappeared from the enemy's field of vision, with only nine divisions stuck outside the nine gates of the "Helian Jade Wall"; and built many monitoring towers along the "Helian Jade Wall" to monitor the enemy situation on the "Helian Jade Wall" day and night.

The coalition forces seemed to have no way to break the deadlock, and the large-scale military operations were stopped, and the two sides fell from a large battle at the regimental level to a battle below the brigade level.

The only country in the south that did not participate in the war finally reacted by sending officials to condemn Meng, Cao, and Qi, and to express their support and concern for the Shaodian Kingdom, and to send grain, cloth, and daily necessities to Nannuma Prefecture, some of which were said to have been bought by the former princess Shaodian Rong.

The reactions of Meng, Cao, and Qi were naturally disdainful, while Shaodian Dan couldn't laugh or cry.

"O king, we should send envoys to our own country to persuade our country to send troops to fight with us against foreign enemies. If those three countries occupy Minaminuma, they will pose a serious threat to their borders. Zisi said at the court meeting.

Yang Zhao disagreed, and retorted: "If our country intends to help, we don't say that they will also mention it." Looking at their recent statements, they just want us to make a request first, and they can negotiate conditions. Do you believe that they will help us unconditionally?"

"As long as we send enough troops to Nannuma, we can drive the coalition forces into the Tongyuan River with our own strength. Shao Dianzhang was also not satisfied with Zisi's proposal.

Fan Yang couldn't help it again, and took Shao Dianzhang's words and said: "Is it enough? How much is enough? Now that more than a million troops have participated in the war in Nanmar Prefecture, the kingdom's taxes for the whole year last year can only sustain them for three months. This year's new taxes have been criticized in various localities, and the people have complained aboundally, and there have been sporadic rebellions in some places. The Lord Shuai can't just pay lip service to it, the treasury doesn't have enough gold for you to squander. ”

"Fan Xiang, it's not right for you to say that. Xun Qi's subordinates have been deflated by the Ministry of Finance recently, and he has long been dissatisfied in his heart, and finally found an opportunity to attack Fan Yang, "No matter how much money there is in the treasury, can you buy back the country? The soldiers are working desperately on the front line to recapture the land and save the people, so how can you squander your money?"

The court hall was instantly cold, Fan Yang was anxious and said that he was happy, and he was caught by Xun Qi and put on a big hat, and the people in the government affairs yuan did not dare to answer Xun Qi's words if they wanted to help.

"All the secretaries are worried about state affairs, no one wants to lose the land and the people suffer, the commander's office is dedicated to the war and is loyal and commendable; the government affairs yuan has done its best to stabilize the country, and loves the country and the people. Shaodian Dan came out to be a peacemaker, "If there is suffering, everyone will work together to solve it, don't complain and blame each other." ”

Kong Shu, as a member of the Government Council, but hoped to repel the enemy army as soon as possible, he came out to mediate: "Fan Xiang is not against increasing troops, what he means is that so many troops have not been able to recover the situation in Nannuma Prefecture, and to increase the number of troops needs a specific plan, how many additional people to send? How long will it take to end the war?"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what I mean. Fan Yang hurriedly responded.

"There are now 200,000 local troops in Linhai Prefecture in Nannuma Prefecture, and there are many children of the Fan family, Fan Xiang must respect the soldiers in front of him very much, but the difficulties faced by the Ministry of Finance are not small, it is understandable that he is anxious when he speaks, don't take it to heart. Kong Shu said again.

"Where is it, my personal honor and disgrace are not important, those who work hard for Shaodian are the most important. Shao Dianzhang said it soundingly.

"There may have been a gaffe just now, but I didn't mean to belittle the front-line soldiers, I have no objection to the commander's office sending additional troops, but the war can't continue endlessly, the treasury has been emptied, don't blame me for not allocating money to you. Fan Yang softened.

Zisi coughed, stepped forward again, and said, "Now is the matter of discussing whether or not to ask your own country for help, and my colleagues should not go off topic." ”

"The meaning of the Senate and the Commander's Office is very clear, there is no need to beg for one's own country. Yang Zhao also represented the Commander's Mansion.

Letting his country send troops is tantamount to saying that the commander's office is incompetent, and Shaodian is willing to be represented by Yang Zhao and resolutely stand on the same front with him.

"Lonely's second sister is an understanding person, her words can influence the national policy of her own country, judging from her country's reaction, she is unwilling to help me solve this trouble, and there is no need to talk about asking for help from my own country. "Shaodian Dan knows that he doesn't know what to say, and the ministers below will still have illusions.

"In this case, the Government Council recommends that the Commander-in-Chief maintain the current scale of operations, and that our home operations are still so financially constrained, and that the enemy's troops should be under much greater financial pressure than ours if they want to cross the Tongyuan River to supply. Now that the front line is able to confront the enemy and maintain the situation of not losing or winning, the advantages of dragging on like this will outweigh the disadvantages. Of course, it is another matter if the Commander's Office has a strategy to destroy the enemy. Zisi retreated.

Since the start of the war, the military of Shaodian has not gained the upper hand, how dare Shaodian Zhang say that he has a strategy to break the enemy, so he has to agree with Zisi's opinion and let the war stalemate go on first.

In this way, the Nannuma Prefecture Theater entered a long-term stalemate stage.

Ding Kui, who was in the Guyuan Empire, didn't know the domestic situation, so he traveled with Ao Yu and walked towards the imperial city - Luojing City.

Nakseong City is one of the largest human cities in the world, and there are two large mountains in the north and west, namely Hoyi Mountain and Qishan Mountain, which have become the natural barrier of Nakyeongseong City, so Nakyeongseong City only has two city walls, east and south.

The imperial palace of the Gu Yuan Empire was built on Qishan Mountain, hidden in the clouds, and was very mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, and was known as the highest palace complex in the world.

"I have a feeling that there are dangerous people over there. Ao Yu looked at the magnificent city in the distance, and instinctively felt a huge pressure.

"It's okay, as long as you keep a low profile, there will be no danger, how can the seal of the Law God be so easy to be seen through. I'm here to find someone, and it's safer to find him. Ding Kui's eyes were deeply attracted by Luojing City.
