Heavenly Dao Formula

Looking at Li Jiaohao's face, Xia Fan also forgot the words in his mind for a moment.

He withdrew one hand and gently climbed up Li's cheek.

The fox demon shook her ears slightly, as if touched, but she didn't seem to back down.

Xia Fan gently pulled the other party towards him - the distance between the two was getting closer, until he could clearly see the slender eyelashes on Li's eyes.

Li seemed to have a premonition of something, her body began to relax, like a stream of water, and she could hardly feel any resistance. Xia Fan knew that as long as he wanted to, he could immediately hold her in his arms.

At this moment, Li's ears turned suddenly, and Xia Fan felt himself being caught.

It was actually two tails that clamped him!

Xia Fan was moved to a slightly further position in the blink of an eye.

Almost at the same time, a guard's report sounded outside the door of the residence, "Master Xia, Your Highness the Princess hopes that you can go to the reception hall, there is an emergency happening in the north!"

Xia Fan almost didn't get choked up and said, "Understood, I'll leave now."

"By the way, I don't know if Master Li is here too?" The guard said again, "His Royal Highness hopes that she can go with her."

Need something for the fox demon to know right away?

The two looked at each other, and suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.

...

In the reception hall, Ning Wanjun succinctly stated the reason for summoning everyone.

"Shangyuan City has dispatched troops."

There was an explosion in the lobby.

"So fast? Spring plowing isn't over yet, is it?"

"Could it be fake news, used to test our determination?"

This is also the most discussed point of view.

"Our army has always had spies lurking in Shangyuan," Staff Officer He stood up and said, "According to their report, the grain depot in Gyeonggi has been opened, and thousands of carts left the capital that day. In addition, the horses at the post station They were all requisitioned, and this large-scale transfer does not seem like fake news."

"In addition, our two outposts on the border of Shenzhou have also been attacked. The enemy is the Liuzhou Army and the alchemists of the Privy Council. From the above, it can be judged that those people in the palace do not want to procrastinate any longer and plan to fight us to the death. gone."

Ning Wanjun took over the topic, "Perhaps the plan to create food shortages and chaos failed, which led to their siege, but this is not beyond our expectations - after all, the Privy Council will come sooner or later."

It turned out to be the case.

Xia Fan immediately understood, no wonder the princess called Shang Li.

In other words, Jinxia's cutting-edge combat power has gathered in Fengyang Villa.

Once a war begins, the power possessed by a powerful alchemist is definitely a major factor in the outcome.

"How many troops will Shangyuan use in this siege?" Someone asked the most concerned question.

"At least 100,000—the garrisons in Liuzhou, Ganzhou, and Qingzhou alone can reach this number. If it's the most...it depends on how many people the imperial court plans to recruit to deal with Jinxia." Staff Officer He replied, "But tens of thousands It is impossible for a human army to dispatch secretly, and their supplies and routes need to be planned in advance, so within half a month, we will be able to get a definite answer."

The Jinxia Army only has more than 10,000 people.

Among them, the main force is about 7,000, which is expanded from the old with the new model. It has participated in the actual battle to capture Shenzhou, and is generally equipped with air rifles. The strongest combat force is the Xuanwu army of 1,000 people, with more than 300 Xuanwu mechanism beasts, which can carry artillery for long-distance raids, and are also good at restraining cavalry in the countryside.

The rest are medical teams, logisticians, and the navy who are still in drills.

In terms of numbers alone, it is far less than the troops that the enemy can mobilize.

"You don't have to worry so much." Seeing the dignified faces of most of the officials selected by the Bureau, Xia Fan took the initiative to speak, "The training of the air rifle is very simple. If necessary, you can learn it in half a month. Send out a 10,000-strong army. But I don’t think it’s necessary to demand them by the standard of the main force, and the victory or defeat of this war does not depend on the size of the number of people.”

"Master Xia said so." He Guicai hurriedly added, "In terms of numbers alone, it is impossible for Jinxia to compete with the land of the ten states. If the enemy attacks, we will defend there, and this battle is already counted." Half lost. Only by finding out the weak points of the enemy's army and actively attacking to eat away at their troops can we have a chance of winning."

Ning Wanjun was obviously the first to comprehend, "To put it simply, we need to invest as many troops as possible on a battlefield as small as possible, and use overwhelming force to win, right?"

"Exactly." He Guicai cupped his hands and said, "Since we fought against the Imperials, we have been touched a lot and have been studying the multi-level combat method. Theoretically speaking, on a small terrain, the maximum troops invested by both sides It should be equal, but now we can launch offensives from the air and rivers, and as long as we plan properly, we can gather forces far superior to the opponent in a very short period of time."

It seems that these military staff officers are not bad in terms of professionalism, Xia Fan thought, he has never seen a real naval and air battle, but he can imagine a similar scene in his mind. Although Jinxia City can't directly launch an attack from the air or the inland river now, it is of great strategic significance just to be able to transport the mobile troops to the unexpected position of the enemy one step ahead.

Getting the army to move, to annihilate the enemy on the move, is clearly at the heart of this engagement.

"How to deal with it will be determined by the staff department." Ning Wanjun said loudly, "But what I want to say is that this battle is absolutely unavoidable, and only by smashing all their delusions can Shenzhou restore peace. As for how long they will fight, it is entirely up to them to decide! Everyone, Jinxia City is up to you."

...

After coming out of the lobby, Li Wang looked at the night sky above his head and let out a long sigh, "It's finally coming."

"Yes." Xia Fan said with his expression unchanged. As Ning Wanjun said, there are irreconcilable conflicts between the two sides, and they have to see the truth in their hands. Only those who can win represent the right ones. "Are you worried about this battle?"

"I'm only worried about your—" She suddenly stopped in the middle of speaking, and coughed after a while, "—whether you can live to the end."

"It shouldn't be a problem." Xia Fan also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he quickly changed the topic, "Our side is not without confidence."

With Luo Qingqing, Yan Qing, Chi, Haiwai Zhiyao, and the new army supported by the Jizao Bureau, Jinxia City is not what it used to be.

They only need a big victory to prove themselves, to prove that Jin Xia is the one on the right path.

"That's true." Li withdrew his gaze, "Although you seem to like taking risks, but after thinking about it, everything is quite sure. As long as Jinxia's army is undefeated, you should not encounter any major problems. "

After the two of them walked a few steps, the fox demon suddenly seemed to remember something, patted his forehead and said, "By the way, I almost forgot to say that before I left Yuetai Villa, I found it in the room of the owner of the villa. A strange thing."

"What is it?" Xia Fan asked.

"It looks like a book. But I can't understand the text inside." Li Hui said, "There is a pattern on the cover, which looks like a door."

Another chapter will be about half an hour late
