On the top of the city, it was very lively.
The city was even more lively.
The military department responsible for the general armament of the Loulan Palace was already full at this time.
People came and went, and carriages kept coming.
"Hurry up, send 30,000 arrows to the city!"
"Are there any more Rolling Stones?"
"Shield, shield!"
"Huaguai here!"
"It's too late, they're out of stock over there!"
"War Armor, War Armor!"
They were shouting and screaming, and ever since the temple army launched their attack outside, there has been no idle time here.
The Minister of War was already sweating profusely.
That plump body probably lost more than ten pounds in two days, and he even had dark circles under his eyes. But he was still furious.
Loulan has really been at ease for too long.
It's been too long since I've been away from the war.
The consumption of crossbow arrows alone this day has reached a terrifying level!
A war tests not only the quality of soldiers, but also logistical supplies. The people of Loulan, as well as the caravans in the city, volunteered to transport armaments. There was no one else on the street. There were only these transport vehicles going back and forth, and they had to beware of the rockets falling from the sky. The workshops responsible for producing weapons and equipment in Kucheng City have been running without stopping at all.
"No more?"
"quick!"
"Quick, urge me!"
On top of the city, there were now wreckage everywhere and rivers of blood. Loulan guards came one after another. The ones in the front were dead, and the ones behind were stepping on the corpses to resist the temple troops climbing up. The Temple Army has begun a general offensive, which no one expected!
Rockets will fly at any time, rolling rocks will hit at any time, cave-ins will occur at any time, and comrades will die at any time!
Reheman shouted angrily while killing the enemy with a knife.
"Sir, we are already working on it, it still needs some time!"
The subordinates reported anxiously.
Reheman cursed again. It was already approaching dusk, and the attack on the temple was like crazy, overwhelming. It can be seen that a soldier of the temple army was leading a civilian who was being held hostage. The civilian was blocking the front and the soldiers were following behind. This kind of human shield not only achieved a very good effect, but also made the Loulan guards feel proud. There is an unspeakable rage! The people who were being held hostage had actually been frightened for a long time. Their panic, howling, and ferocious expressions seemed to express their fear of war and their hatred for these temple soldiers who spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality every day.
The rolling stones and arrows fell on these people first. After they were smashed to pieces, the temple army came out from behind.
Cruel, cruel!
"XX's Temple Army!"
"You must die a good death!"
The Loulan guards were so stunned that they shed tears.
Because among these people, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, and even mothers with babies in their arms.
At this time, they all became cannon fodder for the temple army...
At this time, they all died in the hands of the Loulan Guards, an army that claimed to guard Loulan.
How could the soldiers of the guard army endure such torture of conscience!
Liu Zheng also watched all this coldly.
Regarding everything about war, he always only stayed at the theoretical level. So the current tragic situation still had a huge impact on him. Blood, death, innocence, tragedy... He almost vomited it out several times, but he didn't. He kept using a cold face to cover up the fluctuations in his heart, and he wanted to try to accept it all.
Liu Zheng suddenly remembered a set of data he had seen before.
He suddenly remembered those keyboard warriors he met in his previous life who always said, "If there is a war, I will donate three months' salary first."
Three months' salary?
hehe.
Is war really that simple?
During the Soviet Union's war for the country, the Soviet army fired 40,000 cannons and fired 1.9 million shells a day. This amount of money was equivalent to the living expenses of 10 million farmers for a year - and this was only the cost of a day's war.
During World War II, Japan had a large-scale artillery shell. The price of one artillery shell was 4,000 yen. At that time, the monthly salary of a lower-class person was 5 yuan. It would take him 60 years of salary to buy one artillery shell...
The B2 bomber costs 2 billion U.S. dollars. If this aircraft takes off, the cost per hour is 160,000 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to a house in a third-tier city. The training cost for a SU30 aircraft is about 400,000 yuan per hour. It takes at least a thousand hours to train a mature pilot...
Etc., etc.
This terrible data, your three months salary?
Only then did Liu Zheng realize how ridiculous those people were.
War is a money-burning machine that burns money endlessly. Loulanku City at this time is a living reality.
After only two days of guarding the city, all the weapons and equipment in stock were almost consumed.
It's only been two days...
"Hold on, hold on!"
"Sir, the blade is curled..."
"Smash it with your fist!"
"yes!"
"Hold on, the sun is going down!"
In this second day's attack, the defenders still suffered heavy losses and numerous casualties...
The city gate was almost lost several times.
…
And at this time.
Loulan Palace.
Reguli stood in front of the third prince Halik, holding an exquisite silver-white sword in his hand.
Harik trembled all over: "Queen Mother..."
Reguli said coldly: "Take it!"
Harik looked horrified: "Mother, what are you doing? I..."
Reguli chuckled and said: "My child, if you want to become a king, you must pick up this sword! Get out!"
Harik took the sword tremblingly and looked at his mother blankly.
The hot guy smiled coldly: "Your teachers and your guards are all on the city wall, protecting your kingdom. What else do you have to be afraid of? Child, be brave! Hold it firmly and walk over!"
She pointed to that corner of the palace.
Over in the corner, there were more than a dozen officials, kneeling in a ball, with fear on their faces, and howling loudly: "Queen, please spare your life!"
"Queen, we are all loyal ministers who are admonishing us to death, why did you kill us?"
"Why would you rather trust an outsider from Longyan than us?"
"Queen, the temple army is unstoppable. We must make peace as soon as possible! You will harm the country and be a thief who harms the country!"
Reguli shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
Dozens of guardsmen pressed their swords against the necks of these officials. A few who spoke too much were killed directly.
Harrick turned pale with fright.
Reguli said coldly: "Go over and kill these guys on both sides of the snake and mouse!"
Huang Yantai, following behind Harik, also took a deep breath. Everyone thought that this queen was silent and easy to bully. Unexpectedly, when this war started, she had already arranged thunderous means. As long as anyone had any objection to this war or to "Mr. Xiang" If she objected, she had already prepared an intelligence agency to find out about those people in the city who spoke inappropriately, played both sides, were not firm in their stance, and were not actively preparing for war, and then sent an elite team to take down all these people with different intentions!
Act vigorously and resolutely!
The methods are ruthless!
It not only stabilized the hearts of the people in the city, but also cleared the way for Harlick, who was about to take office.
Who said this queen is stupid and sweet?
She is smarter than anyone else!
Liu Zheng is just a touchstone for her at this time!
War is just a touchstone for this succession!
She had no other choice. Since this war must be experienced, let’s do it! As for that "Mr. Xiang", no matter whether she wins or loses, she feels that he will not pose any threat to her and Harik. The queen of Loulan is the smartest person.
"kill!"
Reguli looked at Halik coldly.
"You slutty demon queen!"
"You have to die!"
"You are bringing trouble to the harem with your lewdness and hooking up with Longyan, you will be imprisoned in a pig cage!"
Seeing that they would not survive, these people cursed and looked excited.
When Harik heard his mother being humiliated, he let out an ahhhh sound and his face was twisted. Even though he was a coward, he was still aroused. He swung his sword forcefully, and a fat head with big ears fell down and rolled to the ground...
Others looked panicked.
"kill!"
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
Reguli's beautiful and fragrant face was stained with a few drops of blood.
Then he turned around and looked at the group of civil and military officials who were watching, their legs already weak.
"Does anyone have any other opinions?"
"Who still doubts Mr. Xiang?"
"Who is still afraid of defeat?"
"Go and push the cart and give me weapons!"
"Yes, Queen!"
…
The second day.
In the end, Kucheng defended the temple army's general attack.
However……
Of the 40,000 soldiers, 10,000 were lost in two days!
While dying here, the bodies are transported for cremation, because there are too many dead, and it will definitely be too late to bury them. The hot weather in Loulan can easily cause plague if stored for too long... The families of the soldiers cried loudly for a while, then angrily went to the city to join the battle on behalf of the dead...
war.
It's such cruelty, and it's also such passion.
When the sun finally went down and the temple army retreated, the entire library city cheered.
No one thought about what to do tomorrow.
What to do on the third day...
The attack on the second day was already so fierce, but what about the third day?
They only know that if they can block it today, it is already a big victory.
"Well done!"
"They're all good!"
Reheman sat on the ground panting, took the jar of wine handed over by the adjutant, and laughed loudly: "Tell those bastards in the logistics department to bring me the best wine tonight to reward the brothers!"
"I'm coming!"
As soon as these words were said, businesses from various countries were already pushing carts to deliver wine. Not only were there wine, but there were also all kinds of big fish and meat!
A group of exhausted soldiers cheered.
Rehaman thanked: "Thank you for your hard work!"
The shopkeepers all laughed and said that everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer.
At this moment, Qin Changfeng rode back excitedly, came to Liu Zheng's side, and whispered: "Sir, the water level is almost there!"
"Yeah?"
Liu Zheng perked up.
When Reheman saw Qin Changfeng's expression, he knew what was going on and came over excitedly: "Is it tonight?"
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded: "Tonight!"
"good!"
Reheman looked up to the sky and laughed.
I laughed and cried.
