Chapter 222

The army is as large as five million, and it is different from the mob of one million that was temporarily united before.

These are all elites drawn from various tribes.

Once the war starts, the intensity is definitely not comparable to the previous war.

Facing the powerful enemy, the pressure on Mengchuan City is naturally huge.

For Weiwei, the North's vanguard troops going south this time is a test and an opportunity.

If she can easily defeat this vanguard army of more than five million people, then she will naturally have the qualifications to negotiate with the tribes in the North. With the food she has now, it is actually enough for the more than two billion aliens in the North to survive in the cold winter.

As for the problem of cold, it is not as difficult to solve as food. As long as there is enough food, there are ways to keep warm even in the cold winter.

Then the two sides theoretically have no reason to fight to the death.

There is even a chance to turn these northern aliens into their own helpers.

But if the battle was not fought so beautifully, even if the vanguard army was finally defeated, the northern aliens would probably use her as a breakthrough point to continue to force their way south.

There is a very realistic problem here.

That is, it is better to have it yourself than to have it from your parents.

No matter how much food Weiwei has and how many people she can supply, the food is in her hands after all.

Will the northern aliens be willing to let her control the lifeline of food and pin the lives of countless people in the entire tribe on the thoughts of her, the princess of the Chiyang Empire?

Of course not.

In comparison, it is obviously the most advantageous option to capture Mengchuan City, enter the warm territory of the Chiyang Empire, and seize a piece of land with enough resources to support so many of them.

So even if she has enough food, she must first defeat all these aliens if she wants to tame them.

The key lies in the battle that is about to happen.

However, although the other side sent 5 million troops to the south, the good news is that the power in Weiwei's hands is also different from the past.

More than half a month had passed since the last war, and this time was enough for her to spread the news of the strange movements of the northern tribes and the current situation that Mengchuan City was facing to the entire empire.

Now the affairs of the northern border were known to everyone in the Chiyang Empire.

Her brothers and sisters were still fighting for the throne.

The most elite knights in the empire were still in civil war.

But there was no shortage of people who hated infighting and people who cared about the world at any time.

What Weiwei wanted was the support of these people.

The result was indeed as she wished.

During this period, a large number of idle warriors, magicians, and people from many cities south of Mengchuan City spontaneously rushed to Mengchuan City.

Among them were a large number of high-level strongmen.

This directly led to a large increase in the number of high-end combat forces in Mengchuan City.

Originally, for Weiwei, facing this five million army, the biggest pressure was not the large number of this army, but the fact that there would also be more high-end combat forces in the large number of elite armies.

If Mengchuan City does not have enough high-end combat power to hold back the other side, the artillery units of the Jiuzhou reinforcements may not be able to play their role.

But now it is different. With the support of these strong men from all over the Chiyang Empire, the number of strong men under Weiwei's command is already very terrifying.

In addition to these high-end combat forces, there are also a large number of low- and middle-level warriors and magicians who have come to Mengchuan City. In the case of no shortage of money and food, Weiwei can be said to be open to all comers and take as many as they want.

Even if ordinary people say they come to support Mengchuan City, but in fact they want to get a meal, she will accept them all.

Anyway, there is a lot of food, so she is not afraid of being eaten out of money.

Even in the Chiyang Empire, the north is far poorer than the south, and the people on the northern border are even more so.

So when I heard that the mayor of Mengchuan City was so generous, working for Mengchuan City not only provided three meals a day, but also received an extra reward of two kilograms of food a day.

Such a good thing is unheard of. It is no exaggeration to say that it has never happened before. For a time, residents of some border cities gathered in Mengchuan City during the slack season.

And even these ordinary people, if they are willing to go to the battlefield, can join the city defense army of Mengchuan City.

The city defense army is different from the regular knights.

All members of the Knights of the Chiyang Empire can be awarded the title of knight, so there are not many regular knights.

Weiwei only has two knights. At the beginning, one is her own Red Flame Knights, with a staff of 50,000 people. The other is a knight organization approved by the Imperial Military Department that was established by the Second Prince not long ago. Weiwei named it the Snow Feather Knights.

This kind of knight belongs to the regular army of the Chiyang Empire. If you want to join it, you must be a second or third-level warrior or above to have a chance.

The next level is her princess guard and her city lord guard as the city lord of Mengchuan City.

This level of troops is a private soldier, and the entry threshold is also very high, even higher than those of the regular knights. Not only strength is considered, but also whether the background is clean and loyal.

They are also composed of warriors.

The next is some mixed troops.

There are also warriors and ordinary people mixed in. This kind of troops has the largest number of people, and usually has a relatively low combat effectiveness.

Those cavalry regiments, various guards and the like are basically all kinds of light cavalry and armored cavalry.

Among these mixed troops, war horses or Warcraft mounts are relatively niche.

Many of them don't even have complete armor and weapons.

Their position on the battlefield is basically cannon fodder and filling-in troops.

City defense troops are such an existence.

But the good news is that in the Chiyang Empire, compared with the strict organization requirements for various guards and knights.

City defense troops can be expanded infinitely, and there is no specific recruitment standard. As long as you can support so many troops, you can recruit hundreds of millions of troops.

After all, the role of this kind of army is basically only to defend the city, and it also needs a lot of city defense equipment to be of some use.

If it really comes to field battles, a serious knight group of tens of thousands of people who have undergone rigorous training can smash the millions of troops of this miscellaneous army with just one charge.

There is no threat to the center of the empire at all.

Taking advantage of this loophole, Weiwei is now relying on the countless food in her hands to frantically expand the city defense forces in her hands.

She is also extremely crazy to build very serious armor and weapons for these city defense forces.

She is even teaching these people to use single-soldier portable rocket launchers.

In just less than ten days, the number of this city defense force has exceeded 10 million.
