Chapter 254

(Answer to the previous question: Why do you need riveting to build a ship if you have spells. It will take time for spells to be transformed into industrial production spells. You can’t just take them and use them.)

Dugu Junjie looked up at the sky, the sky is a bit gloomy today. This was already the second day Dugu Junjie arrived in Anling County, and it was also the third day he was withdrawn from Xingchang County.

The general command center of the war zone in Xingchang County is temporarily set up in Mu's house. The Mu family is the family in Anling County that holds the most shares in Dayang Group. Of course, the headquarters of Dayang Group's counterattack will be at Mu's house.

After hastily retreating from Xingchang County, he was hurriedly driven to Anling County in the north, bringing with him 10,000 elite soldiers. Starting from Ninghe County, there were more than 12,000 people one after another. Now there are more than 10,000 people left.

But the rest are the real elite, more than 10,000 people have used various methods to annihilate and capture more than 50,000 enemy troops—not including the data of the first bombardment of Sima Zhen.

Under the pressure of the invasion of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the efficiency of Anling County is very high. That afternoon, Dugu Junjie had already received support from more than 500 large and small families, business firms, etc., and everyone provided a total of more than 400,000 legions! And massive war supplies.

Don't think that a large number is very powerful, because many soldiers have little war experience, and the number of masters is small. But there are a lot of war materials and so on.

Just as Zhang Hao expected, the war potential of the business class is very strong. When the Dayang Group and the Mu family publicly announced that they would launch a "battle of the industrial and commercial class", when Liu Xinyu's order was passed to Anling County, the local industrial and commercial class became active.

These industrial and commercial groups, who have always lived in the middle class, have been longing for the upper class for an unknown period of time, but they are always unable to enter. Although industry and commerce have become more and more developed in recent years, the upper class of society is still firmly controlled by traditional aristocratic families and sects.

In fact, in the past few years, the so-called industry and commerce were handicrafts and simple commerce. This simple production model did not bring much impetus to the industrial and commercial class. It wasn't until the appearance of the Zhang Family and Dayang Group that this situation changed.

The emergence of Zhangjiahe Dayang Group represents 'industrial upgrading'. And only when the industry is upgraded can a firm enough foundation be laid, which can support the industrial and commercial class and seek the status of the upper class of society.

Fortunately, most people in the industrial and commercial class have grown up in the competition, and they are all thieves. They soon gather around the Mu family and start fighting for their future.

In addition to the business class, there are also many more enlightened families and sects joining. We have contributed more than 200,000 soldiers.

Dugu Junjie dispersed more than 10,000 elites under his command, organized them together, and formed a total of 60 small legions. Afterwards, half a day of emergency training was conducted, just to tell everyone that if you want to survive, you must obey orders!

As the business class, everyone has only made a generous reward regulation, including pensions, etc., to ensure everyone's peace of mind.

I'm afraid that Dugu Junjie didn't realize how high the fighting spirit of this hastily assembled army was. Compared to traditional soldiers etc., they are fighting for themselves. Rewards, children, social status. For the first time, the people at the bottom of the society saw an upward channel!

These hastily assembled personnel are actually not bad, and this is the strength of each company's bottom line. It's just that the unified command needs to be strengthened.

Sixty small legions, each with a maximum of 10,000 people; in fact, after screening, many troops have less than 3,000 people left. The remaining large number of not-so-good soldiers stayed at the line of defense. The entrenched army was handed over to the Mu family. As for the military command, Zhang Hao is in charge of it himself.

The line of defense here is personally commanded by Master Zhang Hao, the president of Dayang Group, but the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning. Of course, Zhang Hao's military command ability... barely passed. Yes, fail. But it doesn't matter, as long as Zhang Hao sits here, the actual military command is handed over to the sheriff of Anling County: Liu Qishan.

Liu Qishan, who also belonged to the Liu family, had extraordinary abilities. It can still organize local military forces to fight in an orderly manner even when the defense line collapses. Especially the more than 10,000 people who fled back from the front line were all real elites, and they were organized by him again.

It's just that in everyone's mind, Zhang Hao is obviously more suitable to be a commander-in-chief in name. Because, this is a battle of the industrial and commercial class. They have to fight against the country of Jinyang, but also against the traditional social structure. Leaders can only be representatives of the industrial and commercial class.

In the evening, Dugu Junjie set off with 60 legions with a total of about 200,000 people. They will launch wolf pack tactics against the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang.

With more than 200,000 people provided by hundreds of families, it is impossible to conduct unified training in a short period of time. That being the case, it is better to simply spread out the battle and compete with each other. The basic rewards are fixed, and the higher the ranking, the more rewards.

Under the triple encouragement of military law, rewards, and the future, the army advanced overnight, and arrived at the front line of the Jinyang Kingdom Legion at dawn the next day.

The sixty legions dispersed, almost encircling the Legion of the Kingdom of Jinyang in a "three-quarters" posture-a typical encirclement with three missing one.

Dugu Junjie ordered the ten legions in the west, a total of more than 30,000 people, to attack. There are more than 30,000 people, a total of five artillery pieces and more than 200 mortars. The legion formed a scattered posture and launched a fierce shelling in front of the army of the Kingdom of Jinyang in the whole west.

After Jinyang Kingdom reacted, it had already suffered five waves of shells, and the loss was not small, and a large number of troops panicked. Facing the artillery shells from the west, the Jinyang Kingdom Legion was confused for a while - it was too scattered, but there were also a lot of them.

Especially with the emergence of mortars, five waves of shells would amount to more than 1,000 shells, and the entire frontier position of the Jinyang Kingdom was under the shroud of artillery fire. There are many artillery pieces on the side of the Kingdom of Jinyang, and they were blown up immediately.

Finally, Diao Deshan, the commander of the Northern Army of the Kingdom of Jinyang, was still a little witty. On the one hand, he raised a defensive barrier, and on the other hand, he dispatched experts to attack, preparing to take out the opponent's counterattack. With so many cannons, Diao Deshan felt that the main force of Qixia Kingdom must have shifted.

But Diao Deshan was also very cautious. He observed for a while, and frowned slightly: Although the artillery was dense this time, and the explosion power was not bad, but... the speed of the shells was a bit low, and the sound of the explosion could be vaguely heard in the distance. Bang' sound.

But after looking at it for a while, I also flew to the sky to observe it. Although the Qixia Kingdom's legions were scattered, they seemed to be quite a lot.

Diao Deshan thought, there were only 10,000 people fleeing from the Qixia Kingdom before, but now it looks like there are tens of thousands of people. This should be a rare main force in Qixia Country. With this idea in mind, Diao Deshan resolutely decided: Most of the masters will fight, and they will pull out the Qixia Kingdom's defense in one fell swoop.

And seeing the masters from the Kingdom of Jinyang appear, the attacking team immediately divided into two groups and gathered north and south.

Seeing this, Diao Deshan did not hesitate, and immediately divided the masters into two groups, and continued to pursue. Diao Deshan personally led half of the masters and more than 60 Nascent Souls to pursue to the north.

But after chasing for a while, they caught up immediately, and the Qixia Kingdom's army split again.

Diao Deshan frowned, no matter how dull he felt, something was wrong. So the next moment, Diao Deshan ordered: "There is no need to continue chasing, stop and kill immediately!"

More than sixty infantry masters landed from a high altitude, but almost at the same time, hundreds of shells suddenly shot out. These shells exploded as soon as they reached mid-air, and the crazy explosive force made Diao Deshan and others dizzy and tinnitus. Shrapnel continued to weaken everyone's defenses.

"Is there an ambush?" Diao Deshan looked at the shells indifferently. After such a long time of shell attacks, Diao Deshan is already 'familiar' with the characteristics of this weapon. Although the shells are very powerful, as long as the defense is proper, the Nascent Soul Stage can probably resist it. The power of the cannonball, if not counting the shrapnel, might not necessarily be as powerful as the talisman.

But under the cover of the explosion light, Diao Deshan's heart suddenly beat wildly. He saw a hazy white light rising from all around and quickly closing.

An enchantment completely surrounded more than 60 infants including Diao Deshan. The range of the enchantment is about sixty feet, which is about two hundred meters in diameter.

"Not good! Break through immediately!" Diao Deshan was shocked, but his subordinates did not hesitate, the flying sword flew out instantly, and simultaneously activated several talisman treasures. The powerful sword-shaped talisman smashed towards the barrier.

The talisman turned into a frenzied sword light that tore through the barrier, and Diao Deshan flew out like lightning. But it was too late. Outside the enchantment, the second and third layers of enchantment have been raised.

Almost at the same time, a large number of shells appeared inside the barrier! At least 30 shells exploded near Diao De Mountain. Shock waves, crazy shrapnel attacks, etc., made Diao Deshan tired of coping. Especially the shock caused by the explosion made Diao Deshan's internal organs tremble and his blood surged up.

More than thirty cannonballs, although the Nascent Soul Stage is powerful, it is still a body of flesh and blood after all.

Since then, the shells have continued. Although Diao Deshan and others united and formed a battle formation to defend together. But...too many shells! The crazy explosion made Diao Deshan and others unable to fight back. Self-preservation is already very difficult.

What's it like to be in the middle of an explosion? Hundreds of shells exploded right next to his ears, and the rumbling sound made his body tremble, and internal injuries began to appear in his internal organs. The true essence couldn't be gathered at all, and the primordial spirit was shaking. Diao Deshan and others can only rely on talismans, magic weapons, and formations to defend.

However, the shells seemed to be endless; but the defense methods of Diao Deshan and others began to decrease. Every time there is an explosion, a batch of talismans, magic weapons, etc. will be invalidated, and the true energy in the body will drop a bit. For Diao Deshan and others, this seems to be a contest of death.

"How could there be so many artillery and shells!" Diao Deshan roared. However, the only answer to him was the cannonball.

Outside the barrier, Dugu Junjie watched the explosion quietly, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

The flames and light from the explosion made the barrier look like a huge lantern, the kind that kept changing colors.

"This is the real way to beat a dog behind closed doors!" Dugu Junjie was proud, really proud. This is more than sixty Nascent Soul stage.

Since the battle between Qixia Kingdom and Jinyang Kingdom, the total number of Nascent Soul Stages that died on both sides is only about 20. Now they have surrounded more than 60 people in one go.

Excited!
