Chapter 1824 The Generals Gather! (Superior)

Chapter 1824 The generals gather together! (superior)

When he arrived at the City of Steel this time, he originally planned to take advantage of the fact that all the troops waiting for the opponent had not arrived yet, and took the initiative to start a short but fierce war. He did not expect that Abu Mus/Lin would be so cautious.

Talos was defeated. Logically speaking, Abu Mus/Lin should be eager to challenge and wash away his shame, but he did not expect that the result was exactly the opposite.

"Take me to see it!"

Wang Chong said, and quickly rode forward and climbed onto the high wall on the north side of the City of Steel. Looking from a distance, on the horizon, the black crescent flag flutters, and the huge city of the Great Eater towers into the clouds and floats on the horizon.

…

On the other side, when Wang Chong appeared on the northern wall of the City of Steel and looked to the north, in the distance, about six hundred miles east from Suiye City, a huge new city stood.

In the middle is a large domed city with a diameter of more than 3,000 meters and a height of several hundred meters. Further to the outside, there are circles of city walls. Between the city walls, there are countless vigilant eyes and spirits. Lang Yan is a cavalryman who is always ready for war.

Around the city walls, countless Da Shi craftsmen were busy, reinforcing the existing walls while continuing to expand to the periphery. Black Da Shi flags and flags were dotted all over the walls, giving a look of tight security. look like.

At this moment, on the domed city, a burly figure, with an aura like the mountains and the sea, stood above. His eyes were sharp, his body was heavily armored, and his fierce aura looked like a demon god who was good at fighting.

"he came……"

Abu Mus/Lin looked far to the southeast, a deep gloom passing between his brows.

Looking from his perspective, in the southeast direction, where the Steel City was located, just at that moment, an aura of the most powerful Yang, unbridled and unbridled, suddenly appeared there, like a storm, and the majestic aura soared into the sky. From now on, in the eyes of a strong man like Abu Mus/Lin, it is as dazzling as the sun and the moon, making it difficult to look directly.

Thinking of the young Tang man, Abu Mus/Lin instinctively felt a strong murderous intention and hatred in his heart.

Abu Mus/Lin wanted to step forward and fight out, but he did not dare. Although he held millions of elite troops in his hands and had an absolute advantage in military strength, even though the great sage Gu Taibai had already commanded these armies. Giving the power to himself, it seemed that he could destroy the steel city with just one order, but Abu Mus/Lin did not dare.

Although the murderous intention and hatred are strong,

But what was even more intense was another kind of deep heart palpitations.

He will never forget the scene of that demon-like boy leading the army to advance, constantly harvesting the army like the god of death. Countless armies and countless top generals, no matter how powerful they are, are all in front of that young figure. As fragile as weeds, they fell one after another.

——Abmus/Lin has no confidence that he can defeat him!

"How long does it take for the Great Holy Sect to arrive?"

The wind howled, and Abu Mu/Silin suddenly spoke.

"Sir, there are about ten days left."

Behind him, a big food warrior bowed.

Gu Taibai's marching speed was not very fast. He was advancing at a set pace every day, neither too fast nor too slow. However, despite this, the momentum of the entire Dashi Empire's advance to the east was extremely terrifying. Not to mention anything else, with the army of more than one million in front, it is absolutely foolproof to just defend without attacking rashly.

"Um!"

Abu Mus/Lin nodded seriously.

"Pass me an order to further strengthen the city defenses before the arrival of the Great Holy Sect. Within ten days, I require that all defenses be increased to twice their current size. All defenses must use steel. If it is not completed, all The craftsmen accompanying the army, as well as their families and children, were beheaded on the spot and all executed!"

When Abu Mus/Lin spoke, there was a harsh look in his words. This Eastern Expedition is unprecedented. The entire country's destiny is tied to this battle. No matter what, it can only be won but not defeated. For this reason, all the craftsmen accompanying the army, in addition to themselves, their families and children, He was also escorted among them and went out with the army.

If they fail to complete the task, they will all be executed. This is Dashi's consistent tradition. Although it is ruthless, it is quite effective.

"yes!"

Several Dashi generals behind him respectfully obeyed the order and left quickly.

"Boom!"

Following Ai/Bu's order, the entire Dashi base became busier and busier. All craftsmen worked day and night and worked frantically on the construction. Even many Dashi troops were dispatched to join in the construction of fortifications.

The sound of clanking and construction can be heard endlessly, and the billowing smoke rises into the sky. The huge metal forging capabilities of the Food Empire are also reflected in this battle. The scale may not be as large as that of the Tang Dynasty, but it will never be worse. Too far up.

——This is also the result of Abu Mu/Slin learning from Wang Chong and writing a letter to the Caliphate and the Great Holy Sect to strongly recommend after Abu Mu/Slin failed in the last war.

Time passed slowly, and the number of troops in the Western Region was increasing every day. Five days later, the Great Eater's army in the Western Region had grown to 1.5 million, not counting the other hundreds of thousands of logistical troops.

The storm was about to come, and more than one million troops gathered in the Western Region, causing unprecedented impact and pressure on all the surrounding countries.

At the same time, to the southeast, was the City of Steel.

Clang!

A huge hammer weighing seventy or eighty kilograms hit hard on the steel feet at the bottom of a steel module, driving the entire steel module heavily into the rocks on the ground.

"Irrigation team!"

The strong man, with his upper body completely naked and taut muscles on both sides of his body, beat the steel module firmly and stabilized it. He was covered in sweat and quickly took a few steps sideways while waving to the seven or eight craftsmen behind him.

"Zizzi!"

There was a scalding sound, and the hot red molten iron poured down the iron trough, quickly pouring into the pores of the molds and the pits in the ground.

Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and the molten iron injected into the ground quickly solidified, connecting the entire heavy steel city wall with the earth as one, extremely strong, as if the two were originally one. After this kind of reinforcement, even if Dashi's cavalry sprints with all its strength, it will be difficult to break through such a steel city wall.

"Quick, speed up!"

"Where's the smelting team? Have all the iron ingots melted?"

"Speed ​​up the assembly team. We still have too few manpower. We will draw manpower from the army and command it under the command of skilled craftsmen. Let me form another thousand teams!"

"The survey team sped up and quickly marked the location of the steel city wall behind according to the drawings. The soldiers were very fast. They all reminded me that we are not building a city wall or forging ordnance now. We are building the defense line of the entire Tang Dynasty!"

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

…

The steel city in the southwest is filled with thick smoke and raging fire. Everyone is sweating profusely. The sound of clanking is endless, a sign of busyness.

Datang and Dashi, the two most outstanding craftsmen of the empire, displayed their talents at the same time in this small area. This was a rare showdown in the history of craftsmen. There was no victory or defeat, and no referee. Once failed, or what would happen? If it is not in place, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will be killed or injured.

It's hard to say which side has more skilled craftsmen, but compared with Dashi, Datang is divided into many groups of craftsmen, just like a person's hands and feet, each of them shoulders different functions, and at the same time they work together. cooperate.

Although it was the same work, Datang built more things in the same time.

——This is the result of Wang Chong introducing the scientific division of labor model from another world into the construction of the defense line.

While Wang Chong was commanding the army at the front and building a defensive line, behind, the entire inland of the empire was also busy, with large amounts of ordnance and supplies being transported along the cement roads day and night.

At the same time, behind the army, an army of tens of thousands formed a long dragon with clear formations, coming towards here.

"Finally it's almost here!"

In front of the army, Gao Xianzhi was fully clothed and looking at the brightly lit steel city ahead, he thought to himself.

Ge Shuhan died, and Fu Meng Lingcha lied about his military exploits and participated in the Three Kings Rebellion. He is still in prison. The Anxi Protectorate Army was attacked by Dashi due to Confucianism and the entire army was destroyed. The Holy Emperor simply decided to The tens of thousands of troops in Longxi were handed over to Gao Xianzhi.

"Wang Chong, it looks like we have to fight side by side again!"

The wind was raging, and the entire area was covered with war clouds, filled with a suffocating smell. Gao Xianzhi's eyes flashed coldly, and he led Feng Changqing, Cheng Qianli, Xi Yuanqing and other generals who had experienced hundreds of battles with a horse's belly, and quickly Enter the City of Steel.

——On that day, Gao Xianzhi was transferred to the inland by the eldest prince. Cheng Qianli, Xi Yuanqing and others were also transferred accordingly. Fortunately, they escaped the sneak attack of the big cannibal. This was also a blessing among misfortunes.

Time flies, and more and more troops gather in the entire northwest Steel City. After Gao Xianzhi, the second person to lead an army to the Steel City is Tongluo General Albus.

"Xi Yuyu!"

The war horses neighed, and 10,000 Tongluo cavalry, wearing heavy bronze armor, came flying towards them. Although there were only 10,000 soldiers and horses, the momentum was even more astonishing than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

"Boom!"

Just three days later, the third general also arrived in the City of Steel. Although Zhangchou Jianqiong had already resigned from his border duties, he re-engaged this time and led dozens of old troops from the Southwest, as well as Xianyu Zhongtong and tens of thousands of Southwest Guards troops, to quickly garrison the City of Steel.

Although it has been nearly two years since he commanded troops and led battles, for the Imperial Tiger, these two short years were only an insignificant period of time in his life. Battlefield conquests have already deeply penetrated into the empire. In the tiger's blood.

And the one who arrived at the Steel City after Zhangchou Jianqiong was An Sishun, the Protector of Beiting!

During the Three Kings' Rebellion, the eldest prince deliberately created the Sunset Palace Incident to frame him in order to contain him and seize his military power. However, a considerable part of the Beiting Guards Army participated in the rebellion. This is also true, so An Sishun's The situation is the most complicated.

An Sishun must first eliminate the vicious rebels in the army before he can go on the road.

For this reason, An Sishun was delayed a lot of time. In addition, when Zhang Zheng rebelled, only part of the Beiting Guards was mobilized, and a considerable part was left in the Yinshan area outside the Great Wall. Therefore, although An Sishun was not He was in the capital, but he arrived at the City of Steel later than Gao Xianzhi and Albus.

Among everyone, An Sishun and Wang Chong have the most complicated relationship. The two are both hostile and cooperative. An Sishun's younger brother An Wenzhen even died in the hands of Wang Chong. Even though An Wenzhen has always been ineffective, even An Sishun was very disappointed with his younger brother, but he was his younger brother after all. Based on this, there was an unbreakable gap between An Sishun and Wang Chong.

However, it was a personal feud after all, and the rules of conduct at the level of an empire general were different. Wang Chong rectified the Qixi Protectorate and weeded out a large number of disobedient barbarians. Wang Chong cleared these barbarians and sent them to An Sishun, but An Sishun accepted them without hesitation and was completely dissatisfied. He cares about his personal feud with Wang Chong.

——The reason is simple, because it is good for you!

In the entire empire, there is always only one person who is supreme and has the highest power, and that is the Holy Emperor who resides in the capital of the Tang Dynasty and in the Taiji Palace. Whether it is the imperial general or the great protector, whether it is Wang Chong or An Sishun, even if it is The prince, the prince, and the grandson cannot abolish the public affairs for personal reasons. Otherwise, let alone dealing with Wang Chong, I am afraid that An Sishun will be the first to be unable to protect himself.

Therefore, the border incident occurred within the area of ​​Beiting Protectorate, and An Sishun had to take action when it was time to take action.

The same goes for dealing with Dashi this time.
