Chapter 334 Sand Table
Huo Hai didn't hesitate, and walked out with the two of them. Anyway, he couldn't understand these marching plans and the like, so he might as well create some convenience for them. The Huo family was the first to bear the brunt of the breach of the western border defense line.
Now Huo Hai feels that it seems that when the king turned Xijiang into the Huo family's territory, he couldn't help wanting to clean up the increasingly powerful Huo family. In this kind of war, as long as there is a slight defeat, the king can immediately blame the Huo family. If it wasn't for the fact that the Guo family was completely dismissed last time, the punishment would have already come down by this time.
"My lord, I don't know what you want us to make." While Huo Hai was thinking, a person next to him finally couldn't help asking. After realizing it, Huo Hai raised his head and patted himself on the head.
"Ah, I was distracted just now. By the way, you find a few people and make a box out of wood, which is about the size of the command desk. No, it should be bigger." Huo Hai said while gesticulating.
The two of them didn't know what Huo Hai wanted to do, so they looked at each other. One of them ran to the side and called the soldiers to find some carpenters to make this wooden box. Anyway, they have seen a lot of dandyism in these big families who usually do not care about it. Maybe Huo Hai is also like them, he likes to make some inexplicable things.
With the help of the spiritual master, the box was made very quickly. This box was not a complicated thing in the first place. The surface is coated with a layer of special grease, and it is dried with fire, even if water is poured inside, it will never spill out.
Huo Hai nodded, very satisfied with this. "Come on, fill it with sand. And you guys, go make some small flags." Huo Hai directed while pulling out a dagger and started playing with the sand.
But as Huo Hai played with the sand, the eyes of the two officers gradually changed. Huo Hai's workmanship is not very good, while repairing the sand, the appearance is not very similar, but the two of them can already see what it is. Isn't this the topographic map of the area in front of Xijiang? This looks like a completely miniature Western Frontier.
"My lord, are you going to create the terrain on this map according to the map?" The two looked at each other, unable to hide the horror in their eyes. This method is very simple, but after so many years, no one has ever thought of it.
Huo Hai nodded in satisfaction, and then stood up: "Since you already know what I'm going to do, I'll leave it to you." The two finally understood why Huo Hai wanted two people who were very proficient in maps to come. up.
Huo Hai's own craftsmanship is too poor. After working for such a long time, he can only make a plausible one. But these two people, holding a dagger in their hands, compared the map and took a ruler to measure, and repaired the entire sand table very delicately in just a few strokes. But, isn't that a little too refined. Forget it, if they are willing to play, let them have fun.
Not long after, the simple flag that Huo Hai wanted was also made. Huo Hai used two colors, red and blue, and wrote the armies of the enemy and us on them, as well as some simple precautions, and then inserted them in different positions.
With these things as symbols, the entire sand table was completely manufactured. For the first time, the two officers discovered that the battlefield could still be viewed in this way. This way of viewing is really too clear.
"Okay, now carry it in for me." Huo Hai saw that it was almost done, and greeted him, and asked a few soldiers to carry things to the headquarters. When the group arrived, the people in the headquarters were still studying the map here.
"Everyone, give way, give way." Huo Hai opened the way ahead, pushing everyone around him away. Lianfeng and Huo Feng frowned, a little dissatisfied. But when they saw that it was Huo Hai, the two of them said nothing. Huo Hai ignored the disdainful and annoyed eyes around him, and ordered the soldiers to put the huge sand table on the table.
Seeing this sand table, Lianfeng was shocked: "Hey, this is... so delicate and intuitive, what is this thing called?" As a general, Lianfeng could see the true value of this huge sand table at a glance.
Simple, easy to operate, and very easy to popularize. Once this thing is popularized, it may even change the way the war has been laid out. The only disadvantage is that because this thing is too simple, the enemy can easily learn it.
But now I can't control that much, my side is the first to use it, and the Nanlin Kingdom has not yet obtained it. With such an intuitive sand table, some people who didn't understand the map before can now understand the situation of the entire battlefield very intuitively.
Huo Hai spread his hands: "I don't know much about military affairs, but I think this thing should be helpful. I call this thing Sand Table. Keep busy, everyone. I won't bother you." Looking at his various gazes, Huo Hai found an excuse and ran out quickly. Only leave these people with a back view.
Don't understand the military? Lianfeng didn't believe it at all, and he couldn't think of such a good way. If it was said that Huo Hai didn't understand military affairs, he would definitely not believe it. Maybe it's because Huo Hai didn't want to get involved in these things.
"Okay, okay, let's continue to discuss, what should we do next." If it is normal, Lianfeng will never be stingy with praise and amazement. But there is really no time for that now, and I don't know when the demon army on the opposite side will arrive. Now it is necessary to take all precautions as soon as possible. With the sand table, it seems that the defense work can be carried out more intuitively.
After finishing the sand table, Huo Hai was free again. Now that his cultivation has reached its peak, there is nothing worth doing except to practice step by step every day. Huo Hai simply started to study spells again.
In addition, the large number of bugs I prepared in Calabash Valley, now that I have the venue and tools, I can try to start research and experimentation. Just like the blue-striped bee, Huo Hai can do everything he can with these experimental bugs.
The situation is critical, and the speed of all aspects of Nanyun Kingdom is also much faster. In the afternoon of that day, the king's punishment order had already been issued. In view of the fact that Yunfei led the army to attack rashly this time, resulting in a lot of losses. Therefore, Yunfei was deprived of the position of deputy commander, and now he is only leading his own team, which is equivalent to a legion commander, and everything will be obeyed by General Lianfeng in the future.
As for Lianfeng, because the blocking attitude was not firm enough, the credits and demerits were offset, and the previous credits were all invalidated. If problems continue to arise in the future, it is really a question of whether the general Lianfeng can continue to do so.
Lianfeng didn't care either, all he wanted to do was how to win this war, nothing more. As for the status or not, it is insignificant compared with the survival of the entire Nanyun Kingdom.
The only thing that comforts Huo Hai and annoys Yun Fei is that in this battle. Because all the children of the Huo family were screened out, no members of the Huo family were involved in the punishment. Of course, there are no rewards either. Huo Hai sneered in his heart, it was because Yunfei was the one who was punished, that's why he was so painless. If it was the Huo family, it would definitely not be so simple.
As time passed day by day, many civilians and adventurers had been mobilized in Xijiang to start training in the newly established military camp. Some old and weak people in Western Xinjiang are also being organized to move to the inner kingdom.
Otherwise, once the western border is breached, these civilians will become materials for making demons. Not only did the Nanyun Kingdom lose a large number of civilians, but it also added a large number of demon troops to the Nanlin Kingdom's magicians.
The nearby troops are rushing to the western border continuously. The remnant soldiers who fled back earlier have almost recovered now. Those who are disabled and unable to fight have already begun to be transported to the rear. The rest, after some integration, were reorganized into the army and began to set up a defense line outside Xijiang City to resist the attack of the magician.
Here in Nanyun Kingdom, there is no such narrow intersection as the border fortress of Nanlin Kingdom. The narrowest one is actually on the side of Xijiang City. Through Xijiang City and the surrounding four satellite fortresses, a line of defense was formed.
If Nanlin Kingdom didn't want to attack from this line of defense, they could only go north and pass through Mingyang Kingdom before entering the territory of Nanyun Kingdom. Now Mingyang Kingdom is resisting the encroachment of demon spirit masters, and the border defense line has a powerful army, how could it be possible to allow people from Nanlin Kingdom to mess around. So now the last line of defense in the western border of Nanyun Kingdom is this western border city.
In front of some sites, facing an army of 200,000 demons, they have no defense capability. Simply Lianfeng has ordered the army in front to abandon the line of defense. During the period, some people can be left to harass, and the others will come back to strengthen the defense line.
A solid wooden frame was built, and Xijiang City was connected with the four satellite fortresses around it. From a distance, it looks like a huge city wall. As long as it can block the masters of the spirit general realm among the magicians, relying on this layer of defense. Maybe it can also block these demon army outside for a long time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
On this day, a convoy quickly entered Xijiang City. Seeing this convoy, Huo Hai frowned immediately. Because he felt a sense of danger from the convoy. The person who can give Huo Hai a sense of danger now is definitely a master.
This time, I don't know how many masters of the spirit general realm came, and what their strength is. However, those who entered from the east of Xijiang City should be from Nanyun Kingdom itself. "No, I'm going to take a look." Feeling a little uneasy, Huo Hai still walked towards the headquarters. At the same time, his own star Gu has been released, and he will attack immediately if he finds something wrong.
When Huo Hai came all the way to the headquarters, he found that the place seemed to be very lively. Many people were discussing here, hearing their discussions, the worry in Huo Hai's heart gradually relaxed.
