Yuxi, Zhenmo, Iron Wall, Lieyang, Tianqi, Rivet, Fengyan, Lianbo, Nanyan, Loulan, Zhantian, Jiling, Songguang, Xiaxin, these are all the cities that Lide owns.
Among them, Yuxi City, which has been in operation for the longest time, has undergone several expansions. The city wall is towering and strong, and the structure of the entire city is also divided into inner city and outer city. Some important areas in the city have been heavily protected. Even if the battle is critical and turns into street fighting, places like the Northern Industrial Base and Yuxi Academy can persist for as long as possible.
Zhenmo, Iron Wall, Lieyang, Apocalypse, and Rivet, these five cities were taken by Lide from his elder brother Liyi, and together they formed a relatively independent and complete defensive formation. In particular, Rivet City is protected by natural dangers, blocking the road to the west just like Hangu Pass. If the front line really loses, there is also a natural barrier to defend the west city, and there is still time for Li De and others to regroup.
Finally, there are Fengyan, Lianbo, Nanyan, Loulan, Zhantian, Jiling, Songguang, and Xiaxin. These eight cities just joined Lide's command last year, and they are also the main battlefield for this battle against Yunyang. In particular, the three cities of Jiling, Songguang, and Xiaxin need to face the three iron and coal-producing cities of Heigang City, Zhujian City, and Blast Furnace City that belong to Yunyang. Where the situation is most tense.
"It's a pity that the time for these eight cities to join us is still too short. If the time is longer, we will definitely be more confident now, and the general will not have to work day and night to arrange troops. Although the people's support is available, it is far from enough. They have been under the rule of Yunyang for too long. Although many people don’t say it, they think that it’s okay for Yunyang to call. At worst, they kowtow to them. The identity continues to live."
When Selaginella, the battalion commander of Wangdongying, introduced the situation to Li De, he was not particularly optimistic.
He is the type who will give it a go when he is cornered, but is usually cautious. Even though he was promoted to battalion commander, he still ate and slept with the soldiers and treated them as his brothers. Now that the brothers are about to go to the front line, the people they are desperately protecting are still in a daze, and Selaginella is naturally not very interested.
Lied patted him on the shoulder and said:
"No way, most of the people's endurance is surprisingly high. Back then they were able to survive under Li Ze's rule, so they naturally felt that even if Yunyang came in, it would be nothing, nothing more than being robbed of some wealth, nothing more than kneeling again Just asking for a living. These cities have only joined us for half a year, so it’s normal to have a weak sense of belonging. What we can do is to win Yunyang and show them. As long as we win once, they will naturally be willing to die for us. After all, who would not How about a better life?"
Selaginella nodded solemnly.
As a refugee, he is actually very clear about the thoughts of these low-level people. After Lide took over these cities, through work-for-work relief and subsistence allowances, everyone survived the cold winter safely, and most of them even saved some spare money. Therefore, they thought of Li De's goodness, and were willing to cooperate with Yuxi City to build various fortifications.
But in fact, in their hearts, they never really regard the money in their hands as their own. People who are accustomed to being exploited either spend money lavishly and leave no spare money; or they spend money extremely cautiously, hiding all their property carefully, and praying that others will not find it.
These people basically belong to the latter. Although the money is in my hand, I always feel that it will be robbed one day, so I dare not have any expectations for the future, and naturally I don't have much sense of belonging.
The morale of Selaginella's soldiers is high, they are all people who were exploited in Yunyang and couldn't survive, and now they are going to fight Yunyang, and they are all as excited as if they were beaten with chicken blood. The name Wangdongying was originally created for the purpose of attacking Yunyang. Looking east and looking east, the east of Yuxi City is naturally Yunyang.
The people under Luge were as calm as ever. The second battalion, the Xuanjia Battalion, is the elite of the elite. It is a very small number of heavy armored infantry in the current Eternal Heaven Kingdom. Most of them are veterans who have fought all the way. It will make your own people feel at ease and bring deterrence to the enemy.
"My knife skills are much better than before."
Luge held the knife and said to Lied:
"The battlefield is like... I don't know how to describe it, it's like the kind of arena that doesn't care about life or death. I am a person without talent, and the city owner should know this better than me. Killing, I found that I gradually gained a lot of experience about using knives, and my realm gradually rose. This time I will also rush to the forefront. If I die, Lord City Master, please take my knife Bury it outside this city."
Lu Ge's state has indeed improved a lot compared to before, but his talent is so bad that even with the protection of the army on the battlefield, there is still the risk of death. Lide agreed to his request, but also told him not to forget the purpose of practicing swords. He still has revenge and should not die on the battlefield.
The three chief generals of the Shaoyu Camp, Ming Gan, Xing Yan, Mi Tuan, and Li De also met. The three young men's bodies were tense, and they were obviously nervous. But as Lid asked a few questions, they began to analyze the current situation with Lid enthusiastically, just like top students answering teachers' questions.
Li De encouraged them a few words, and then went to meet his own general, Fang Shisan, who was personally sitting in Xiaxin City.
She was still sitting in a wheelchair, and on the table in front of her were all kinds of draft paper, on which were drawn countless kinds of defense plans. Many places are crossed, and many places are circled with a Chinese ink pen. Fang Shisan's white face was dripping with fine beads of sweat, and he gently rubbed his red and swollen right wrist with his left hand from time to time. The maid Tila was standing behind her, helping her to read the information from the front line:
"Lord Shuang sent a new report today. Lord Yunyang's army has passed through Mo Lian City and is now stationed near Xiyuan City. It is about three days away from here. Lord Yunyang is very cautious. A large number of scouts were sent in advance to investigate the situation. Master Shuang said that it is difficult to completely clean up the scouts by the Anbu organization alone. Sixty to seventy percent of them is the limit. On the logistics side, Lord Yunyang completely uses his confidants, It is difficult for our people to infiltrate, and the possibility of success in cutting off food and grass is very small... "
Fang Shisan put the pen aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and said:
"Yunyang can fight about 30,000 troops, and at least 10,000 will guard Lingyun City to guard against those Yunyang masters. Although 20,000 is a large number, it may not be our opponent. What is really difficult to deal with is Yun Yang Wei and those guests, they have the ability to change the situation of the battle. The most important thing is...their combat power is difficult to calculate, the upper limit is too high for people with high personal force to form a team."
Tira sighed, found a towel, and wanted to help Fang Shisan wipe off the sweat on his face, when he suddenly saw Lide standing at the door.
Tira was about to say hello to him, but Lide made a shush gesture to her, then took the towel from her hand, and walked lightly to Fang Shisan's side.
