MTL - Fairy, Please Let Me Explain-Chapter 244 to prepare
Chapter 244 Preparations
"You want to send troops out of the city?"
Xu Yuan's eyes showed a little hesitation when he heard this.
"Yes." Li Qingyan nodded.
"Will it be too risky?" Xu Yuan hesitated and asked in a low voice: "The barbarian camps are all set up twenty miles outside Beifeng City."
Twenty miles.
This is the experience summed up by the barbarians through the lessons of blood.
Most of the defense equipment in Beifeng City are array ballistas with higher precision, and they also shoot thick and large source crystal arrows.
It can reach more than ten miles away.
The barbarians camped too close, they were living targets, and they had to accept the condescending "caress" of Beifeng City every day.
For this reason, the barbarians also specially changed their siege equipment into animal throwing carts, which are not accurate at all, but they do not need to be accurate. After all, Beifeng City is so large that as long as it is a miracle, it can hit Beifeng. Just in the city.
The camping distance of only twenty miles also caused a problem.
If the barbarians want to attack the city, they need to run twenty miles on the plain before they can touch the city wall.
However, in the eyes of the barbarians who occupy the right time and place, this is not a problem.
In the climate of blizzard and natural disasters, if the barbarians attack the city, they will basically sneak around three or four miles away from Beifeng City before the high-level cultivators on the city wall can find each other.
Yesterday, the Blackscale Guards were able to gain something when they went out of the city to attack the camp. It was entirely because the vision of the barbarian side would also be affected by the blizzard and natural disasters, and their foothold was not stable, which caught the other side by surprise.
Now that the blizzard is taking a break, if you want to go out of the city to attack the camp, your vision is no longer blocked. The defenders in Beifeng City have to run for twenty miles on their legs if they want to go out of the city to attack the camp.
Li Qingyan naturally thought of this, and his voice was calm:
"My son-in-law, although the destruction of the Zongmen's warehouse in the city is beneficial, it has also created a disadvantage that must be solved urgently."
"Is it imminent?" Xu Yuan's eyes flickered.
From the macro perspective of the entire northern border, the Zongmen does have disadvantages, that is, lack of food.
Cultivating immortals is not a perpetual motion machine, and high-level cultivators who have merged into the realm must also have energy to breathe in order not to eat or drink, let alone those soldiers below.
But today's grain and grass are not imminent, and the city can still last more than half a month relying on the imperial court's storage.
Li Qingyan's eyes were a little helpless, as if looking at a fool:
"Military morale."
“.”
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shut up.
The position is different, and there are many things that he cannot consider.
He just forgot about the military spirit.
In those war games in the previous life, morale would collapse, let alone the real world.
Li Qingyan walked slowly to the sand table in the barracks, looked at the scaled-down terrain sand table around Beifeng City, and said in a serious voice:
"Although there is a large formation protecting the city in the north, the generals and lieutenants above are also tight-lipped about the real situation, and they report good news to the soldiers but not bad news, but the soldiers below are not fools."
Xu Yuan sighed and replied:
"The battle hasn't started yet, the city gates were bombed and the array was damaged, and the warehouse was bombed last night. The soldiers below are probably talking about it?"
Li Qingyan nodded and said:
"Even many people in the Habayashi guards under my palace began to talk about the fall of Beifeng City, not to mention the frontier soldiers of those sects. If the barbarians only treat my people of Great Yan as two-legged sheep, these people may already have Think carefully about other things."
Xu Yuan's eyes drooped:
"Do you want a victory to stabilize the morale of the army?"
Li Qingyan stared at the sand table:
"Not wanting, but must."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
After all, a person is an individual. When the minds of most people in a group start to lose control, that is the beginning of the camp.
The barbarians do not accept surrender, and the situation of encirclement and lack of one will make them try their best to flee to Houting County.
after all,
What if he survives?
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan tentatively asked:
"But if this trip fails, the morale of the army in the city will be completely shattered."
Hearing this, Li Qingyan was quiet for a few breaths, and suddenly looked back with a smile. After the decision was made, it seemed that she couldn't see the slightest solemnity from her face.
"My son-in-law, today's Beifeng City can only get a glimmer of life if it is desperate."
“.”
Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan's smiling eyes, and was speechless for a while.
It is only a matter of time before Beifeng becomes a dead city, which is basically the default situation in the eyes of the informed high-level officials.
Including him, Xu Yuan, even he has arranged in advance the follow-up to the fall of Beifeng.
It is impossible for Li Qingyan not to see through this situation, but she still wants to defend Beifeng City.
Exhaling a breath, Xu Yuan asked seriously:
"You told me this because you want to borrow the beast farm of my Black Scale Army in the city?"
Li Qingyan smiled slightly and shook his head:
"No, I want the Black Scale Army to stick to the bombed south gate. Once I make a move in the east of the city, the barbarian king will immediately attack the south of the city."
Although he didn't know how to fight, Xu Yuan instantly understood what Li Qingyan meant.
It is indeed dangerous to go out and harass, but Nancheng will become more dangerous.
As a lunatic, that barbarian king will not let go of this opportunity, as long as he confirms that the Habayashi army has gone to the east of the city, he will even directly use the giant war beast.
In this situation, she dared not hand over the defense of Nancheng to the frontier army of the sect.
It's not that they are worried that the other party will defect to the enemy, but that they simply don't trust this group of pigs to be able to hold on.
Although the number is about 100,000, they are all second-line troops of the eighth or ninth rank.
This kind of troops was already an elite force in Shengshan County at the beginning, but it couldn't stand on the table in a place of national warfare like the northern border.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and stroked the smooth corners of the mahogany table, with a calm voice:
"But the Black Scale Guard has only one battalion (5,000 people) at the moment, so it may not be able to hold it."
Li Qingyan replied immediately:
"This palace has arranged 30,000 Zongmen frontier troops to assist in the defense."
"They...won't they defeat the Black Scale Army?"
"." Li Qingyan.
She has no idea about this.
Xu Yuan was silent for a while, exhaled slowly, and asked in a low voice:
"How long will it be before your Highness's plan can be implemented?"
"Two quarters of an hour."
“.”
Xu Yuan frowned and thought, tapped his fingers lightly on the mahogany table, and in an instant he got up and said:
"Do you have communication crystals in your barracks?"
Li Qingyan's eyes were filled with surprise, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked:
"Why, your Xiangguo Mansion still has a backup in Beifeng City?"
Xu Yuan grinned:
"Yes, it's just for me to escape."
Li Qingyan snorted softly, and shouted outside the tent:
"Qi Fengjie, come in and take my bodyguard to communicate with Yuanjing."
After the words fell, the guard outside the door immediately entered the barracks, saluted and said "yes".
Half an hour later,
When Xu Yuan came out of the secret room with the communication wafer, he immediately saw Li Qingyan standing at the door.
Holding her sword, she was dressed in heavy armor:
"what have you done?"
Xu Yuan looked to the north and smiled slightly:
"Lou Ji left two "cloud energy bombs" in Houting County in advance, and I just had someone detonate one in Houting County."
