"You want to send troops out of the city?"
When Xu Yuan heard this, there was a slight hesitation in his eyes.
"Yeah." Li Qingyan nodded.
"Isn't it too risky?" Xu Yuan asked in a low voice hesitantly: "The barbarian camps are all located twenty miles outside Beifeng City."
Twenty miles.
This is the experience summed up by the barbarians through bloody lessons.
Most of the defensive equipment in Beifeng City are more accurate array ballistas, and they also shoot thick and large source crystal arrows.
It can hit more than ten miles away.
If the barbarians camped too close together, they would be living targets, and they would have to accept the condescending "caress" from Beifeng City every day.
For this reason, the barbarians also specially changed their siege equipment into beast-throwing vehicles, which were not accurate at all, but there was no need for accuracy. After all, Beifeng City was so large that as long as a miracle happened with great force, Beifeng could be hit. Just within the city.
However, the twenty-mile camping distance also caused a problem.
If the barbarians wanted to attack the city, they had to run twenty miles on the plain before they could reach the city wall.
However, from the perspective of the barbarians who occupy the right time and place, this is not a problem.
In the climate of blizzards and natural disasters, if the barbarians attacked the city, they would basically sneak up to three or four miles away from Beifeng City before the high-level cultivators on the city wall could find them.
Yesterday, the Blackscale Guards were able to gain something when they left the city to attack the camp. This was entirely because the barbarians' field of view was also affected by the blizzard and natural disasters, and their footing was not stable, catching the opponent by surprise.
Now that the blizzard has stopped, if they want to leave the city to attack the camp, their vision is no longer blocked. The defenders in Beifeng City have to run twenty miles on their legs if they want to leave the city to attack the camp.
Li Qingyan naturally thought of this, and said in a calm voice:
"Husband-in-law, although the destruction of the sect's warehouse in the city has advantages, it has also created a disadvantage that must be solved urgently."
"Is it imminent?" Xu Yuan's eyes flashed.
From a macro perspective of the entire northern territory, the sect does have a shortcoming, and that is the lack of food.
Cultivation of immortality is not a perpetual motion machine. High-level cultivators with higher levels of body integration must also breathe in and out of energy to avoid eating or drinking, let alone the soldiers below.
But the current supply of food and grass is not imminent, and the city can still survive for more than half a month relying on the court's storage.
Li Qingyan's eyes were a little helpless, as if he was looking at a fool:
"Military morale."
"."
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shut up.
Depending on where he stands, there are many things that he cannot consider.
He simply forgot about military morale.
Those war games in previous lives would collapse without morale, let alone the real world.
Li Qingyan walked slowly to the sand table in the barracks, looked at the proportionally reduced terrain sand table around Beifeng City, and whispered in a serious tone:
"Although there is a large defensive formation in Beifeng City now, the generals and lieutenants above are tight-lipped about the real situation and report good news to soldiers but not bad news, but the soldiers below are not fools."
Xu Yuan sighed and replied:
"The battle hasn't even started yet. The city gate tower was almost blown up, causing damage to the formation. The warehouse was bombed again last night. I guess the soldiers below are already talking about it, right?"
Li Qingyan nodded and said:
"Even many of the Yulin Guards under me have begun to talk about the fall of Beifeng City, not to mention the sect's border troops. If the barbarians didn't only regard my people of Dayan as two-legged sheep, these people may have already Think about other things."
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes:
"You want a victory to stabilize the morale of the army?"
Li Qingyan stared at the sand table:
“It’s not that I want to, it’s that I have to.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
After all, people are individuals. When the minds of most people in a group begin to lose control, that is the beginning of the roar.
The barbarians did not accept surrender, and the situation of surrounding three and one missing would make these barbarians try their best to escape to the Houting County area.
after all,
What if you survive?
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan asked tentatively:
"But if this trip fails, the military morale in the city will be completely shattered."
Hearing this, Li Qingyan was quiet for a few breaths, and suddenly looked back and smiled. After the decision was made, it seemed that there was no sign of solemnity on her face at all. The armor on her body made her face look stunningly pure and heroic:
"Consort, today's Beifeng City can only gain a chance of survival by making a desperate move."
"."
Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan's smiling eyes and was speechless for a moment.
It is only a matter of time before Beifeng becomes a dead city. This is basically the default situation in the eyes of informed senior officials.
Including him, Xu Yuan, he had even arranged the back-up plan for the fall of Beifeng in advance.
It was impossible for Li Qingyan not to see through this situation, but she still wanted to defend Beifeng City.
Exhaling a breath, Xu Yuan asked seriously:
"Are you telling me this because you want to use my Black Scale Army's animal farm in the city?"
Li Qingyan smiled slightly and shook his head:
"No, I want the Black Scale Army to defend 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 understand fighting, Xu Yuan instantly understood what Li Qingyan meant.
It is indeed dangerous to go out to harass people, but Nancheng will become even more dangerous.
As a lunatic, the barbarian alien king would not let go of this opportunity. As long as it was confirmed that the Yulin army had gone to the east of the city, he would even directly use the war beasts.
Under such circumstances, she did not dare to hand over the defense of Nancheng to the sect's border troops.
It's not that I'm worried that the other party will rebel and surrender to the enemy, but that I simply don't trust that this group of pigs can hold on.
Although there are about 100,000 in number, they are all second-line troops of the eighth or ninth grade.
This kind of troops was already an elite force in Shengshan County back then, but it couldn't make it to the forefront in a national war zone like the Northern Territory.
Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the smooth corners of the mahogany table, and said in a calm voice:
"But the Black Scale Guards only have one battalion (five thousand people) now, so they may not be able to defend it."
Li Qingyan immediately replied:
"I have arranged for 30,000 sect border troops to assist in the defense."
"Won't they defeat the Black Scale Army?"
"." Li Qingyan.
She has no idea about this.
Xu Yuan was silent for a while, slowly exhaled, and asked in a low voice:
"How long will it take until His Highness's plan can be implemented?"
"Two quarters of an hour."
"."
Xu Yuan frowned and thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the mahogany table. In a flash, he stood up and said:
"Do you have a communication crystal in your military camp?"
Li Qingyan's eyes were filled with surprise, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked:
"Why, your prime minister's government still has a backup plan in Beifeng City?"
Xu Yuan grinned:
"Yes, but 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."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard guarding the door outside immediately entered the barracks, saluted and said "yes".
Half an hour later,
When Xu Yuan came out of the secret room containing the communication crystal, he immediately saw Li Qingyan standing at the door.
She pressed the knife and wore heavy armor:
"what have you done?"
Xu Yuan looked towards the north and smiled slightly:
"Lou Ji left two "Yunqi bombs" in advance in the Houting County area. I just had someone detonate one in the Houting County area."
