"Commander Xun said that this matter will be played by the king, and let the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and the Senate cooperate with the requisition of the people, and the foreign enemy is invading our country, I believe they will not delay. "Shao Dianzhang has dealt with more officials in the court over the years, and he has basically figured out their habits.

The plan of the Commander's Palace, with the support of Shao Dian Dan, was sent directly to the Senate without court discussion, and this time the Senate caused a dispute.

The elders who are based in Zhongwangzhou have opinions, this war is different from the last time, the last time was an active attack, this time it was a passive defense, and a local army was formed to fight.

Chief Elder Yang Zhao strongly objected, and even Long Dang had quite a few complaints, only the new Third Elder Jiang Li was silent. However, the other elders unanimously agreed to the plan and were unwilling to make up for the five elders representing Zhongwang Prefecture through an exchange of interests.

In the end, it could only be voted on by ballot, and the plan of the Commander's Office was reluctantly adopted by five votes in favor, four against, and one abstention.

Jiang Li abstained from voting, and he could not oppose the plan proposed by the General Staff, nor could he agree to harm the interests of Zhongwangzhou, so he had no choice but to abstain.

Because the war had already begun, no one dared to play bureaucratic at this juncture, and after the plan of the Commander's Office was passed, all relevant departments of the kingdom began to operate at high speed, and various orders were issued from all directions from the capital.

The Eleventh, Twelfth, and Twentieth Army Corps bore the brunt of the attack, and their task was to try their best to block the direction of the enemy's attack, among which the Twelfth Army Corps was in the worst situation, they had already reimbursed half of the division, and the first line of defensive positions had all been lost.

The Third Army of the Meng State had not yet taken Juyang City, and just when they divided their forces to attack the Hump Mountain Pass and the Chunlu River Ferry, they were attacked by Zhang Xun and Qi Nan. Due to low morale, the siege that afternoon was a little weak, and even the walls were not climbed.

Under the bold command of Yan Xun, the Hump Mountain Pass lured the enemy to climb the city wall, and burned more than 3,000 Meng troops to death with a fire, and only paid more than 100 casualties on their own side, severely defeating the Meng army attacking the pass.

The commander of the Twelfth Army, Di Tanglong, was very excited to learn the news of the Hump Mountain Pass, which was the only good news in the last two days, and made him retain a glimmer of hope for holding Nanqiu County, but the next piece of news made his heart cold again.

The surviving magicians of the 120th Division also withdrew to the county, reporting the discovery of two forbidden magicians over the Chunluwan Water Village.

"Two forbidden magicians! So Meng sent at least two main legions," Di Tanglong swallowed with difficulty, "I ordered from the supreme commander of the Nanqiu County Theater that all cities east of Nanqiu County and all armed forces should immediately withdraw into the county town, and all the people would move west; ”

"Militia, my lord, if this order is issued, your reputation will be seriously damaged, how many years has Nanmarsh Prefecture not allowed the militia to participate in the war, too many militia participating in the war will cause the enemy to massacre the city. Wang Yu, a staff officer of the 12th Army Corps, persuaded.

"If the county town of Nanqiu is lost, I can count on the resistance of the cities in the west, my personal reputation doesn't matter, if I can hold back the footsteps of the Meng army, even if I am ruined, it is worth it. Di Tanglong gritted his teeth and said, "The 114th, 115th, 116th, 117th, and 118th divisions abandoned their defensive areas and marched rapidly towards Nanqiu County, where they encountered the enemy's troops and launched a blockade on the spot.

Wang Yu, you are responsible for contacting the Eleventh Army Corps and asking them to take over the defense area of the above five divisions, so that their main forces can quickly move closer to us, and ask the Twentieth Army Corps to send more troops to support us, preferably to reach the Nanqiu County Theater within three days. ”

"But my lord, the Commander's Office has not specified who will command the garrison in Nannuma Prefecture, and the Eleventh and Twentieth Legions will not listen to us, and they have the right to act cheaply. Wang Yu was in a hurry, he knew that this task was difficult to complete.

"It's one thing whether they listen or not, it's another thing if we ask them to do what I say. If those two legions hear about my mistakes, I will bear all the consequences. "After all, Di Tanglong is the commander of a legion, and he still has a responsibility to do things.

Di Tanglong's order was relatively timely, and after the Chunlu Bay Water Village was breached, countless transport ships transported two main armies of the Mon State, the Seventh and the Thirteenth Corps of the Mon State. As soon as the two corps came ashore, they attacked in a north- and west-facing direction, unlike the Third Corps, which attacked only after they had all landed.

Zhai Yu, the commander of the 11th Army Corps, received a message from the navy at the same time as receiving Wang Yu's request: Hua Song, the commander of the Nanmara Prefecture Navy, led the fleet to open the river opposite Jinping County, and encountered the ships of Cao Guo's navy, and the two sides started a fierce battle, which has not ended until now.

"Jinping County, isn't it the junction between us and the Twelfth Army Defense Area? How can it be so coincidental?" Zhai Yu saw something wrong on the map, "The troops of the Twelfth Army near this place have all been transferred, and they are currently in a vacuum.

No, this time it won't be okay to listen to Di Tanglong, the Meng navy has already taken the Chunlu Bay Water Village, and they can attack Huasong's fleet on both sides if they move north. If nothing else, the naval army of Nanmara Prefecture will be unable to defend the kingdom's rivers under the joint attack of Cao Meng.

The 101st, 102nd, 103rd, 104th, and 105th divisions were ordered to rush to Jinping County, and the remaining divisions moved closer to the corps headquarters to decide where to go according to the enemy's next move. Inform the movement of our army and the news of the naval army to Nannuma Prefecture and the capital. ”

Cao finally made a move as expected, and they gathered most of the forces of the naval armies of the two states and waited on the river at the junction of Cao and Meng. After receiving the news that Meng Guo had broken through the Chunluwan Water Village, he immediately marched in the direction of Jinping County of Shaodian State, and happened to encounter the main force of the naval army of Nannuma Prefecture on the way, and the Cao State naval army launched an attack without hesitation.

Long Yuan of Shuanglong City in Yangyuan Prefecture was extremely uncomfortable at the moment, and the merchant ships of Cao Guo once again disappeared collectively at the dock of Shuanglong City, and a patrol boat of Meng Guo appeared on the surface of the Tongyuan River, ", is Lao Tzu a soft persimmon? Last time, he let Fang Ba go, if he dared to come again this time, Lao Tzu would definitely cut off his dog's head. ”

No one knows yet that the old city lord of Double Dragon City has been promoted to the Juggernaut Knight, the last time he was besieged and attacked for several days, after the reinforcements arrived, Fang Ba actually ran away, and he had already held his breath and had nowhere to spill, this time the other side seemed to have thoughts about Double Dragon City again, and he decided to settle accounts with Cao Guo.

Juyang City ushered in the second night of the siege, and medium-sized transport ships continued to arrive on the river, and food, ordnance and other materials kept moving into the barracks. The Mon army stopped the siege at night, and they had to divide their forces to ensure the safety of supplies, and the defeat at the Hump Mountain Pass transferred a division of the Third Army Corps, and the strength that could attack the city was not enough to use fatigue warfare.

Since there are no magicians, let alone a magician guild, there is no magic transmission array in the city, the news from the outside cannot come in, and the news from the city cannot be transmitted out, Zhang Xun and Qi Nan can only guess the situation in the outside world.

"There are transport ships coming at night, and the situation in Chunlu Bay Water Village is not good, and the Meng army outside the city seems to use the military camp as a logistics base, and it seems that there are no troops nearby to threaten them. I'm afraid there will be no reinforcements to help us out of the siege anytime soon. Qi Nan only dared to whisper this to Zhang Xun, for fear that the spread would shake the army's heart.

"I expected it when I asked you to escort the people away, this time the Meng State sent troops very quickly, and the strategic intention was different from the past, and there were 120 divisions stationed in the entire Nanqiu County, and our country would be passive in a short period of time.

Juyang City can be held for as long as it can, at least it can contain the strength of a few divisions and regiments, otherwise the enemy only needs to leave one division in the city, and the rest of the troops can go to the front line. Zhang Xun was very calm, he had already foreseen his end.

"Now the morale of the brothers is okay, I am afraid that in a few days they will be shaken, once it is clear that the giant sheep city is in a desperate situation, I don't know if they can hold on. "Qi Nan had already gone out when he brought people back, and he was worried that the other defenders in the city had ideas.

"Don't worry, if you hold for a few more days, you will hurt the enemy's troops attacking the city, and the enemy will definitely not let go of the soldiers defending the city, and it is useless for anyone to have the illusion of surrendering. As for the inhabitants of the city, there should be no problem, and it is impossible for Meng to slaughter the city if he wants to occupy Nanqiu County. Zhang Xun has a plan.

"I see that the defense of the Meng army on the water is lax, so it is better for me to take a few brothers with good water skills to dive out and scuttle a few of their boats, so as not to let them be so arrogant. "Qi Nan supports his subordinates in smuggling and mastering several secret passages to the shore, which can come in handy.

"Okay, you can distract them a bit, you go and get ready immediately, and I'll make some noise to cover you out. Zhang Xun took immediate action.

He activated a pre-buried line of fire and lit an oil pit outside the city, which was originally used when the Meng infantry lined up a dense array to attack the city, and in order to cover Qi Nan out of the city, Zhang Xun did not hesitate to use it to blow up an enemy patrol.

After being washed into the barracks during the day, the nerves of the Meng army were a little too nervous, and a patrol squad was bombed and attracted the regiment commanders.

Qi Nan took the opportunity to sneak out of Juyang City from the east, used the secret passage to sneak directly to the Tongyuan River, and jumped into the water in the cold.

The Chunluwan Water Village was broken, and the main force of the Nannuma Prefecture Water Army was entangled by Cao Guo, and Meng Guo thought that the Tongyuan River was completely under their control, and transported supplies from the country to the camp of Juyang City day and night.

The warships responsible for escorting the transport ships completely relaxed their vigilance, as long as there were no suspicious ships on the river, they thought they were absolutely safe, but they didn't expect Qi Nan to lead a dozen people to scuttle more than a dozen transport ships underwater.
