Monarch of Evernight

Chapter 965: Beneath the City

This is obvious. Song Zining built this force, perhaps with some shortcomings in personal strength, but it can be made up entirely with heavy fire and sufficient supplies. The force's combat strength can no longer be measured in terms of numbers, not to mention the fact that a whole fleet in the air is watching the situation without delay and ready to launch.

Fifty thousand is definitely not enough to fight this force or to have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. Ji Rui would say 50,000, because Zhang Weizhou's direct troops and mercenaries are 50,000. More than 50,000 won't be enough.

Another way is for the strong to crush it, just as they faced the whole of Tidal City alone that night. However, it doesn't work either. The Empire is hiding dragons now, and no one knows how many strong people are hiding in them. Knowing that Luo Bing Peak is listening to Tide City and daring to go to the siege shows that the Empire already has the means to deal with it.

Ji Rui sighed heavily, "We're all old! ”

Shut up and shake your head, "What did the city owner say? The Empire will not stay in a neutral land for long, and sooner or later it will withdraw from this war. This place of neutrality will eventually have to be ours. ”

Ji Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly: “I had some ambitions, but seeing the bravery of a thousand nights, and looking at this army built by Song Zining, how can I not understand those ambitions, but Mirror Flower Moon. ”

Guan Zhongliu was dissatisfied, "Thousands of nights are really good. But what does Song Zining have? His army is just stacked out of money. Give us so much money, we can do the same! ”

Ji Rui asked, “With all this money, can you really build an army like this in this time? ”

Guan Zhong opened his mouth but couldn't answer it.

The formation of an army is extremely complex, not only in terms of integration, but also in terms of equipment, military mix, training and logistics, all of which require effective cooperation in order to build a capable force. Think carefully, from Song Zining to South Qingcheng, every step taken, every thing done seemed to be scattered and irrelevant, in fact nothing was not prepared for the day. Unconsciously, many mercenary groups, large and small businesses and even the entire South Green City were tied up in chariots.

Originally, Ji Rui and Guan Zhongzhong were self-absorbed and had ideas to sell for a price. But now the empire is strong as clouds, Song Zining did not even ask them to participate in the war. This made both of them happy and frustrated.

The victory of this battle empire proves that the two are of little use and will never be reused again. If they lose, neither Zhang Zhou nor Everlasting Support will let them go. Expulsion is the best outcome.

On the other hand, this war is important, and Song Zining obviously doesn't want them to know why this war is being fought, that is, in the imperial system, Ji Rui and Guan Zhongliu are already marginal players on the edge.

In front of Ji Rui, Zhongju can't say anything against his heart. At this point, it is possible for him to form a 10,000-member mercenary corps, and it is impossible to form such an excellent army. Before that date, Guan Zhongliu could not even imagine such a heavily armed force, and where would he start?

Ji Rui also did not need to turn off the middle-class answer, the ghost said: “If you don't say anything else, you can just get so much money, it's his ability! ”

Shut up and ask, "Lord, what should we do next? ”

“After this battle, if the Empire wins, let us take the initiative and take the initiative. ”

Guan Zhongliu was unwilling: “Master, this South Qingcheng is the foundation of your work! ”

Ji Rui grinned and stretched out his hand: "My foundation? Is my foundation this big? ”

Guan Zhongliu also tried to persuade Ji Rui to stop him with his hands up and said: “Guan, I've thought about it too. Regarding qualifications, you and I want to break through the Divine General, it's difficult. But with the empire accumulating for thousands of years, there will always be a secret that suits us. If you stand up for credit, you can give one or two of the finest secrets. Perhaps you and I both have hope of breaking through the Divine General. By then, brothers can do more for decades! ”

Breaking through God will be the ultimate dream of every martial arts man, and the midstream will have to be moved.

After a while, Ji Rui said: “Almost there. Let's go pack. ”

“Where are you going?” I can't touch my head in the middle of nowhere.

“Of course, listen to Tidal City! How can a war like this not be an accident? Camel Ice Peak is not so easy to handle. It is attitude that we choose to act beside each other and, if necessary, to help the Empire. ”

“Lord, in that case, we will be completely broken up with Zhang. ”

Kira laughed at herself, “Do you think we can still be the same now? Even if it does not help the Empire, it will be regarded as an imperial party. Moreover, it was Camel Ice Peak, not Zhang Zhou, that completely broke us apart. ”

Outside Tidal City, the first troops have arrived and are constructing defensive positions.

Located just a few kilometers from Tidal City, the position is extremely arrogant, working under the watchful eye of the Army. The city guard had to bite his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. The defensive position is just outside the maximum range of the crossbow, trying to strike out of the city, and there are still several floating warships floating in the sky. Just look at the thick, numb cannon holes of these warships, and the power of the machine beyond your imagination, and you'll see how bad they are.

Admiral Gordon is an idiot, and he knows that a gunfire shooting a defensive position against a floating ship amounts to suicide.

When the first defensive position was constructed, the garrison was still angry, but soon became nervous as the successor forces arrived.

Experienced veterans soon discovered that only about half of the convoys that arrived were loaded with soldiers, and the rest were loaded with various materials, as well as large machinery for construction. Heavy cargo ships have also begun to appear in the sky, unloading materials like hills and turning them into steel plates for the construction of the outer walls, barracks for garrisons, heavy artillery for dense numbness and countless artillery shells.

Airborne freighters seem to be indefinitely indefinite.

The more the general looks back, the more pale his face becomes. He had never seen such a way of preparing for a siege, and the other party's supplies seemed endless. Though not, in his experience, it is possible to judge the consequences of these materials.

Just when I was worried, the deputy next to me said with concern, "General, how could there be so many heavy artillery guns? This is not going to work. They don't have to attack the city at all. They can't afford to bomb with heavy artillery! ”

The city defense general's face sank, "What do you say? ”

The deputy bit his teeth and said, "Why don't I lead a team out of town and kill them for a while? ”

General Urban Defense pointed to the next point of the city and said coldly: "You said that almost an hour ago, now, it's late. ”

The deputy looked down at the city and saw the front of the first prototype defense work, a row of steel plates being erected, stitched together a few times to form an extremely strong defensive position. He couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air and said, "Don't you want money for steel plates? ”

By this time, the defensive position under the city had been formed, combined with the mercenary's ultra-conceivable fierce firepower, a double blow from the sky and heavy artillery, and the out-of-town impact was a dead end.

The deputy's face was getting uglier and he wanted to take a thousand people out of town, but now it's all a problem to see if this thousand people can rush under the steel wall alive.

“General, there's only one way. ”

General Urban Defense turned around and said, "What's the plan? Tell me! ”

The deputy bit the teeth: “Only ask the owner of the city to do it and sweep these bastards out of town. ”

With a bang, General Urban Defense waved a slap in the ear, causing the deputy to faint. "How do you know they didn't set a trap and wait for the owner to leave town?" he exclaimed. Once the city owners are ambushed, can you keep listening to Tidal City with your bunch of scum? What, are you looking at each other with a big heart? ”

The deputy panicked: "I never meant that! ”

The general pointed at the defensive position below the city, shading his face: “Take a good look, they set the position just outside the holy mountain holding range. You want the city lord to abandon the benefits of the holy mountain and leave town against the blood of his opponents? ”

The deputy was even more alarmed and rushed to deny it.

The general hummed, "For more than 20 years you've served the owner of the city, that's all for now. Nobody disturbs the Lord without my command! Listen to the big and small things that happen in Tidal City. Which one can't be hidden from the owners? When the city owner intends to go to war, he will do it himself. Don't worry about me! ”

“Yes, yes! General Wise!” The deputy, Vignono, withdrew hastily. After turning around, he saw a fierce light in his eyes.

Beneath Tidal City, after building three defenses, the mercenaries did not increase, but began building barracks in the rear. Large numbers of barracks sprang up like rain showers. This marching house, supported by steel pipes and complemented by pompons, is nothing new, and there are dozens of them in the hands of the Chaocheng Guard.

But when these barracks are neat and hundreds of thousands of places appear, the shock is unimaginable.

Looking at the layout under the city, General Chengwei's face became more gloomy and said to himself: "This is going to break the city for a day! ”

Beyond the clouds, a floating ship arrives slowly, with smooth bodylines and luxurious decorations, not at all the coarse and heavy style typical of a neutral land.

On the floating ship, Song Zining stood on the deck and looked down at Tidal City. Behind him stands the imperial elderly, Elder Li and others.

Even the people who are used to the big world can't help but look at the whole army. Not surprisingly, if it were an Imperial elite regiment. However, the main force in the lower army, a few months ago, was still a scattered and accustomed mercenary, between the eyes, Song Zining integrated into this, of which it is difficult to know. Song Zining's reputation has improved in many people's minds.

In a piece of praise, Song Zining laughed, "It's just superficial kung fu, it's just a bluff. The key to World War I will also depend on how to deal with Camel Ice Peak. ”
