In Anyang, close to the border of Wuyang County, Beichen Yuqing stood on the city wall. In the distance, flags were waving. Xiao Liming's 200,000 troops had arrived at the border and were in a standoff.
Beichen Yuqing was holding several pieces of intelligence in his hands. As a commander, Beichen Yuqing had to keep abreast of all the intelligence in order to make the best strategic and tactical arrangements.
The first piece of intelligence: The joint forces of Guangling County and Songzhou County have already captured about 300 miles of land in Nanyang County. Nanyang County has now lost about one-third of its territory.
Second: Nanyang County used hidden means to temporarily block the attack of Guangling County and Songzhou County, and the two sides were in a tragic confrontation. The arms brought severe deaths to both sides, with more than 50,000 deaths on both sides. The rivers turned red and the bodies even blocked the river.
The third one: Anyang refused to support Nanyang County.
The fourth: Nanyang County surrendered to Jin State, and Jin State did not hold it against them. The 250,000 Jin prisoners in Nanyang County were released and sent to the front line, ready to block and even drive out the Guangling County and Songzhou County armies together with the Nanyang County army.
The fifth document: The State of Cai wanted to blackmail Anyang but failed, and now it is furious and is about to march south with an army of 500,000 to attack Anyang.
The sixth is a secret report from Anyang, a top-secret file: Anyang is preparing to swear a blood oath with Dragon Palace, and it is already in progress. After completing the blood oath, Anyang's great navigation plan will begin. Development on land is too slow, requiring the establishment of diplomatic relations and good basic conditions, such as roads, etc.; while marine trade is much simpler and more profitable.
"What a mess!" Beichen Yuqing rubbed his brows, then looked up at the 200,000 troops that had already arrived at the border in the distance. For a moment, he actually felt a bit heavy: "We can't lose. Pass the order to roll out the fortress cannons."
The order was passed down, and soon three heavy cannons were lifted to the top of the city wall by magic and placed on a specially widened and thickened gun platform. Seeing these brand new cannons, the morale of the Anyang army at the border was greatly boosted.
This latest fortress cannon is a 240mm caliber cannon. Compared with the giant cannons used on warships, the barrel of land artillery is half as short, but artillery is artillery, and the 240mm caliber cannon is reassuring just by looking at it - of course, the enemy's mood does not need to be considered for the time being.
In front, Xiao Liming led an army of 200,000 to the frontier of Anyang, and stopped advancing. The two sides were separated by a plain of 10 miles. 10 miles was the maximum range of the current artillery in Anyang.
Ten miles apart, Xiao Liming and Beichen Yuqing looked at each other from afar, but the distance of ten miles could not block their gazes.
Suddenly, Xiao Liming sent one of his personal soldiers to set off. Soon, three personal soldiers flew over a distance of ten miles to the front of Anyang Border. They flew directly in the air and looked at Beichen Yuqing standing on the top of the city. One of the personal soldiers opened a scroll and read aloud, "I, Xiao Liming, came to Anyang today just to ask, you Anyang sold military ammunition everywhere, causing heavy casualties and even cruelty. After a war, millions of people were killed and the valley was full of blood. Such a crime, what crime should Anyang be punished for!"
Beichen Yuqing laughed when she heard it, "You don't have to. Hey, you don't know, in order to reduce casualties, I, Anyang, deliberately raised the price of arms several times, just to limit your killing. In the end, even so, it can't stop your killing heart. Hey... Hey... You can always find a pretext to accuse someone. If you want to fight, then fight. I, Anyang, have nothing to fear!"
