Chapter 959: Sieging the city Part 2
Translator: 549690339
“Those who collude with the enemy and commit treason should have their entire family executed. Our brothers are fighting hard in front, but these dog officials are stabbing us in the back, son of a b * tch.”
Zhang Kaitai knocked on the table and corrected the topic, ”
“What we need to do now is to hold jadesun pass, and then send a report to the Imperial court, so that they can quickly send reinforcements. But food is a problem. The food in the warehouse can’t last until the reinforcements arrive.”
“Yuzhou has been a grain-producing land since ancient times,” a general muttered.”The local people won’t be short of food, so we can collect food from them. We can’t trust those dog officials now, so we’ll send our own people to collect food.”
Zhang Kaitai frowned and said,”this is against the rules. The people might not be willing to do so.” At that time, we can’t give the Civil officials a chance to impeach us.”
“They’ll be willing to.”
The local general said word by word, ‘”‘The Imperial court may have forgotten the debt from forty years ago, but the people of our three provinces will not.”
After the matter of the provisions came to an end, the generals turned to discuss the issue of military strength.
All of them were frowning.
“With the speed at which the Imperial court is mobilizing its troops, can our 16000 soldiers hold the line?”
The witchcraft sect was different from the Barbarian race. The Barbarian race relied on corpses to attack the city. However, the witchcraft sect had siege weapons. A small part of them were made by themselves, and the other part was secretly transported by the great Minister.
In the Battle of Shanhai Pass, the witch God religion learned from their painful experience and summed up the reasons for their defeat. They believed that the heavy lethal weapons were the most important thing that Da Feng could rely on to be able to dominate the nine regions.
Thus. they secretly colluded with the officials of the great Feng dynasty, invaded the military equipment, dismantled it, and learned to imitate it … After so many years, they had also learned to build many siege weapons.
Including gunpowder.
However, the witchcraft cult didn’t have any sorcerers. The siege weapons, cannons, and ballistae that they made were all ordinary items. On the other hand, the weapons that they made were magic weapons, and their destructive power was incomparable.
“We have to defend even if we can’t. The witchcraft cult is just a paper tiger. Even if he couldn’t force them back, he had to hurt them and damage their vitality. Just like the Battle of Shanhai Pass, they were unable to recover for 20 years.”
“At worst, I’ll just die.”
As he spoke, Zhang Kaitai’s Deputy general looked at his direct superior and said in a deep voice, ‘
“That dog Chen Ying left the camp without permission. We can count the number of rank four experts we have now, so it’ll be difficult to stop them. If I remember correctly, nurheka is a rank 4, a rank 4 in both the pugilist and Magus paths.”
These words made all the generals present frown, and the atmosphere became heavy.
“Du du ..
Xu Qi ‘an knocked on the table to attract everyone’s attention. He asked,
“”Martial arts and wizard dual cultivation? Who is this nurheka?”
To be honest, he could be considered to have seen a lot now, but he had rarely encountered people with two systems.
He was a little surprised.
Cultivation was so difficult. It was already not easy to climb up in one system. How could he have the extra energy to cultivate other systems?
Zhang Kaitai answered his question, “the inheritance of the throne of the wizard God religion’s affiliated kingdoms is different from that of our Central Plains.” In the system of the Yan, Jing, and Kang three country, government affairs were handed over to the officials to handle while the country emperors held military power. Hence, the past emperors were all extremely brave warriors and were also old generals who had fought on the battlefield.
“Above these two, there is a third-grade expert from the witchcraft cult acting as the state preceptor. The state preceptor did not care about military affairs, but he was the most powerful person in the country. Except for the fact that he could not depose the monarch, the Imperial advisor had the right to decide and deny all matters. A monarch is more like a commander who controls the military strength of a country.”
No wonder the king of Jing country, Xiahou Yushu, is known as a commander talent second only to the Duke of Wei. I’m puzzled. For one or two of them, being an Emperor is just a secondary career? It really was a f * cking secondary profession …
Xu Qi ‘an nodded in realization. He had a general understanding of the hierarchy system of theocracy.
Zhang Kaitai continued,
“Nurhejia is the current fiery King. His ability to plan may not be as good as
Xiahou Yushu’s, but in terms of individual combat power, even two Xiahou Yushu are not his match. Nurheka was not only a peak rank-4, but he was also a peak rank-4 with two cultivation systems.
“Before we set off, we were even prepared to use two or three rank-4s to exchange for him. Who wants to …”
Who would’ve thought that we wouldn’t even be able to take down flame capital?
Xu Qi ‘an calmly glanced at the generals present. He saw that their expressions were serious, as if they were a little depressed and depressed by Zhang Kaitai’s story. He immediately nodded and did not ask any more questions. It was a demoralizing thing to listen to a comrade describe the strength of the enemy.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t have any experience in war, so he didn’t participate. He half-closed his eyes and thought.
His silence disappointed the generals who knew that Xu yinluo was a master of military tactics.
A peak rank-4 with two systems was. little difficult to deal with … Xu Qi ‘an weighed the pros and cons in his heart and realized that he did not have the ability to defeat his opponent.
First of all, the overlapping of methods from different systems could produce a qualitative effect. It was just like how Xu Qi ‘an had relied on the books of the scholarly faction to temporarily become an “all-rounder” and suppressed li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanyou by himself.
And at that time, his was two grades lower than the two of them.
Secondly, there were strong and weak rank-4S. Li Miaozhen, a rising star who had advanced to rank-4 for half a year, was basically suppressed by the powerhouses at the peak of rank-4.
What was the concept of a peak rank-4 with two systems?
There were not many people below rank-3 who could beat him.
‘My heaven and earth One slash and the peace blade can pose a threat to rank-4 Masters, but only to weak rank-4 like li Miaozhen. ‘Besides, I might not be able to hit him. The intimidating effect of the Buddhist lion’s roar is ineffective against Magi who are proficient in the primordial soul realm. If I can’t make that slash, I’ll be dead .
