Krypton gold longevity: a hundred years of life at the beginning

Chapter 131 The plan is finalized and we take the initiative

Li Shouxin's method was adopted.

However, this is not enough.

With more than 2 foreign personnel, under the conditions offered by Li Jiye, it would be good to recruit at best three to four thousand qualified soldiers.

Although these people are quite strong because this place is close to the Gengjue Mountains, in the army, it is not enough to be strong individually. They also need to be trained, at least to understand military regulations, formations... and even formations.

They are different from those military households. They have not been exposed to this knowledge before. It is estimated that they will not be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time. They can only be placed on the city wall to defend the city, or do some logistics work.

Well, even if some of the original soldiers can be liberated in this way, the strength of three or four thousand troops is still a lot worse for the current problems that the Suppressing Demon Army is facing.

It is definitely not possible for Moyuan to have only [-] troops. It must at least be doubled to [-] troops.

And this is still a conservative estimate, because no one knows how big this demon wave will be.

Where did the remaining 1 troops come from!
When Li Jiye asked this question, everyone in the tent fell into deep thought again.

"Master."

After Yu Ao thought for a while, he walked out and said, "The Demon Abyss is related to the safety of the entire human race. This should not be borne by our Demon Suppressing Army. Even if other countries will not support it, the imperial court should also mobilize more Come with the reinforcements! You can bring any more of the twelve guards!"

"The imperial court mobilizes troops! It must be difficult~"

Li Jiye shook his head, then stood up and sighed: "Dawu seems to be calm now, but judging from the recent intelligence received, soldiers from various counties are being mobilized frequently. It is estimated that something big is about to happen.

At this time, it is too late for the imperial court to increase the strength of the gods, so how can it be possible to send twelve guards to our town to suppress the magic city! "

"This…"

Yu Ao really wanted to say something more, but when the words came to his lips, he realized that there were some things that should not be said from his own mouth, or even from the mouths of any of the demon-suppressing army. In the end, he could only retreat angrily...

Seeing that his old friend said nothing, General Guo stepped forward again and said: "Commander, I wonder if the matter in the Western Regions can be postponed. I..."

"No."

Before General Guo could finish speaking, Li Jiye interrupted and said, "Abandoning the Western Regions would be difficult for your Majesty to agree to, and even I myself would not agree to it.

The demons were ravaging the countries of the Western Regions during the period, which was a disaster for the people of the Western Regions, but for us, it was the best time to capture the Western Regions. Once we miss it, there may be no hope again.

The Western Region is really important to Dawu and our demon-suppressing army. With the Western Region, Dawu can develop its economy rapidly, and we can move the Demon-Suppressing City to the Demon Abyss without worrying about any changes in the north..."

Listening to Li Jiye talking about the benefits of taking over the Western Region, the generals in the tent were also excited.

This is still from the perspective of long-term interests, but in fact, the immediate interests alone are enough to make people covet. Although the countries in the Western Regions are not very good in terms of military, none of the 36 countries are poor, and all of them are rich. Oil…

If we could capture the wealth of these countries, not even all of them, but just capture a few of the richest ones, we would probably be able to supply the demon-suppressing army with military pay for decades.

Wealth at your fingertips, and future development that can be seen at a glance... If you want to obtain these, there is only one problem left, lack of people.

"Commander, can you deal with the Western Region first, and then deploy troops to guard the Demon Abyss!"

Another general stood up and said: "Although we have a premonition that the time of the demonic tide will be much earlier, the specific time has not yet been determined. There are [-] troops and horses on the Moyuan side for the time being, and they should be able to withstand it for a while. Wait for the Western Region to After handling it, we will move the army back to the Demon Abyss."

Is this feasible?

Amid everyone's expectations, Li Jiye just thought about it for a moment and then shook his head in denial.

"No, there is no delay in increasing the troops in Demon Abyss. No one knows when the demon tide will arrive. Feiyan experienced a battle as soon as he arrived there, and even encountered the demons in the dark world. Maybe there will be a demon tide tomorrow. .

We can't afford to gamble when it comes to the Demonic Abyss. I will be preparing to lead troops there after dawn. Except for the newly-built Seventh Army, you will all go there with me as soon as you prepare.

As for the issue of troop strength, you should think about it carefully and see if there are any other solutions. "

Come on, this won’t work, that won’t work either, what else can you do?
Everyone was frustrated, and the tent fell into a long silence.

Some people think that they can first support Moyuan and then take the Western Region, but this method is just a thought.

Although the demonic tide will be brought forward, who knows how long it will be. What if we have to wait for a month? With the current situation in the Western Region, we still don’t know what it will be like in a month!
Some people also thought that the Western Regions would have fewer troops and use gentle methods to collect the countries...

But I thought that if I really want to do that, it doesn’t matter whether those small countries will eat or not. Even if this method is successful, it will not be easy to plunder the wealth of those countries. Forget it, we can only rely on fighting and talking to take over the Western Regions. It's useless.

There are also people…

...

Time passed slowly, and I saw that the sky was already bright. However, no matter how anxious everyone scratched their heads and ears, there was nothing they could do. After all, they could not conjure people out of thin air.

Just when Li Jiye lamented and was about to order everyone to go to the Demon Abyss, the leader Li Shouxin stood up again.

"Commander, I wonder when the troops of Shenwu Guard and Youxiao Guard will arrive. Will they also be under the control of the Commander after they arrive at Demon Suppression City?"

Li Jiye didn't know what his son was doing when he asked this question, but he still replied: "When Su Li asked for help for the first time, the commander-in-chief had already sent a letter to urge them. According to the schedule, they will arrive by tonight at the latest. It’s the Demon City.

As for the issue of jurisdiction, when they arrive at Demon Suppression City, they will naturally be under my jurisdiction. However, outside the city, especially when dealing with matters in the Western Region, they have their own autonomy, because His Majesty must have told them something, and it is not easy for me to participate. too much. "

"Is that so!"

After hearing this, Li Shouxin lowered his head and hesitated for a moment, then said with a solemn expression: "Commander, in this case, I will ask the commander to dispatch Shenwu Guards and Youxiao Guards to guard the Demonic Abyss..."

"what?"

"No, they went to the Demon Abyss, what about the Western Region!"

"Yes, the Western Region cannot give up, the mission of the Shenwu Guards..."

As soon as Li Shouxin said this, everyone started talking, but they didn't think this was a solution.

"Okay, everyone, calm down."

Li Jiye looked at his son seriously and said in a deep voice: "You can continue to talk about your thoughts. Mobilize the Shenwu Guards and Youxiao Guards to go to the Demon Abyss. Although I have this right, I will definitely give it to the court when the time comes. There is an explanation over there, let alone delaying the affairs of the Western Region."

"Yes, Commander, things in the Western Region will never be delayed."

There was a sense of confidence in Li Shouxin's eyes, and he said with a serious expression: "Commander, actually we all had a little misunderstanding, and even got into trouble because of the appearance of the demons in the dark world.

Because there was something strange happening in the Demonic Abyss, plus the appearance of an underground demon, I just thought about guarding against the demonic tide!

Commander, we should follow the original plan and suppress the Demon Abyss first. We should take the initiative in the Demon Abyss and cannot be led by them. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent was shocked.

Yes, instead of waiting for passive defense, why not take the initiative to attack the demon? Wasn't the commander prepared to enter the demon abyss to suppress it beforehand?

At this moment, everyone's ideas changed.

Then I heard Li Shouxin continue: "Of course, because the scale of this demonic wave may be very large, the risk of active attack will also be much greater.

Therefore, we must increase our troop strength. The general suggested that in addition to the Seventh Army and the personnel who are about to be recruited, all the soldiers and horses of the First Army, the Third Army, and the Sixth Army still in the city should also be taken to the Demon Abyss. , In this way, there will be [-] troops there.

In addition to the Shenwu Guards and Youxiao Guards who will arrive today, they have a combined strength of nearly [-].

A total of [-] troops were all thrown into the Demonic Abyss at once. Since the demonic tide has not yet arrived, it must be that the demons are not ready yet. If we take action first, we may be able to catch the opponent off guard.

When the Moyuan incident is over... No, it doesn’t have to wait until the Moyuan side is over. Even after spending a few days to achieve certain results and reduce the defensive pressure on the Moyuan side, we can then transfer our troops to the Western Region. Bian, I think it only takes a few days to control the situation, so it won't delay important events. "

After Li Shouxin finished speaking his thoughts, before the commander above could reply, the surrounding generals became excited.

"Okay, that's how it should be."

"That's right, passive defense, how can it be so cool to take the initiative to fight!"

"Sixty thousand troops entered the Demonic Abyss directly. No matter how big the demonic tide is this time, they will still be suppressed."

"Haha, those demon cubs would never have imagined that our demon-suppressing army would dare to come to their door at this time."

"Those guys, when they made a little noise, they really thought we were scared..."

"... "

Li Jiye did not stop the discussion of the people below this time. He was also considering the feasibility of this plan.

If there was really no other way, he had already prepared to transfer all the soldiers under Li Feiyan's command back to the Demon Abyss, and the entire Western Region would be given to the Shenwu Guards and Youxiao Guards... Whether the Demons and the Western Regions can win or not depends on them. It's up to you.

In this way, although Moyuan's military strength is still relatively low, but it is on the defensive side, it should be able to resist. If it is not possible then, the only option is to have all the people in Mozhen City mobilize troops, and then ask the court for help.

Of course, in this way, he will give up all the interests of the Western Regions. Without the wealth of the Western Regions countries, he may have to live a hard life if he moves the Demon Suppressing City to the Demon Abyss in the future...

However, my son’s suggestion seems to be a good one!

Concentrate superior forces, and kill the disabled first... This is indeed what I want.

The [-] army, based on the terrain on the side of Moyuan, is about [-] deployed on the entire battle surface. The [-] soldiers and horses can be divided into three waves of offensives, attacking Moyuan non-stop day and night.

In this way, as long as the logistics can keep up, this evil wave may be nipped in the bud.

Then we turn our guns and attack the Western Region, then...

Li Jiye, who was bowing his head in thought, his eyes were flashing at the moment. The loss was small and the results were rich. This was indeed a good idea.

Although he knew that there might be other changes happening here, after all, they had happened before, but for now, there seemed to be no other better way.

OK, that's it.

bang.

Li Jiye slammed the table suddenly. With everyone's attention, he nodded and said solemnly: "Just do what General Li Shouxin wants. Now follow my command... General Guo Tie."

Guo Tie took a step forward, cupped his hands and said:
"The end is here."

Li Jiye took out his command sword and said solemnly: "I order you to lead the troops to the Demon Abyss first. If there is an attack by the Demons, you must cooperate with General Su Li to do defense work. I will lead the army and then arrive at the Demon Abyss." , before that, even if we fight to the death of one soldier, we must not make any mistakes."

"promise."

Guo Tie stepped forward to accept the order, bowed solemnly, and then left the main tent and began to mobilize troops to go to the Demon Abyss.

Looking at the generals below, Li Jiye picked up another command sword and said: "Yu Ao, Wang Heng..."

"The end is here."

Several more people came forward to obey the order.

"I order you to lead your subordinates to transport the grain, grass and equipment in the city to the Demon Abyss. The grain and grass must be enough to sustain the [-] troops for one month. As for the equipment..."

When it came to equipment, Li Jiye hesitated. For the Demon Suppressing Army, various combat equipment was their biggest weakness.

Food and grass can be obtained from the Hengjue Mountains, where supplies are abundant and there will be no shortage. However, in terms of weapons and equipment, they can only obtain a large amount of raw materials, but they suffer from a lack of craftsmen and technology, which makes processing a problem.

Generally speaking, swords, guns and arrows can be managed with difficulty, but armor and crossbows can only be made in small quantities and take a lot of time. As for the extremely powerful machine-machine crossbows, even maintenance is sometimes a problem.

This is also one of the real reasons why they have never thought about competing with the imperial court. After all, the real masters of the agency are in Shendu and the Ministry of Industry...

There are many kinds of equipment in the Demon Suppression City, but not many of them are powerful. Most of them are arranged on the city walls.

This time I went to the Demon Abyss and launched an active attack on the demons. If I wanted to obtain the greatest results as quickly as possible, I would definitely use some extremely powerful equipment... But once these equipment are moved to the Demon Abyss, how can we suppress the demons? What if there is an army of demons attacking here in the city!
Li Jiye glanced at his son on the side... That's all, just treat it as a reward for his idea. At worst, I will charge in front personally.

"You will take two-thirds of the arrows, heavy crossbows, and various throwing weapons in the warehouse to the Demon Abyss. You must speed up and try to leave in the morning and arrive in the evening."

"promise."

"Master."

Just as Yu Ao and others were about to step forward to take the order, Li Shouxin stood up and said, "Commander, please bring those machine-heavy crossbows at the top of the city. Anyway, here in the Demon Suppressing City..."

"no need."

Li Jiye glanced at him and waved his hand to refuse: "This time when we go to the Demon Abyss, we must try our best to achieve a quick victory. We won't need those bulky equipment. When we really need to use them, I will have people come back to move them."

No matter how heavy those instruments are, can a few warrior-level soldiers still not be able to carry them?

Li Shouxin wanted to say something more, but he had already issued the command sword, and Yu Ao and others had also taken orders to make arrangements for the accounts, so he had no choice but to give up.

Later, Li Jiye arranged for several other people to go to the Demonic Abyss, until only the father and son were left in the account.

After his son was the only one in the tent, Li Jiye leaned back and said with a curl of his lips: "You have a good day today. You actually came up with a solution. It seems that you have made some progress. I will leave this Demon Suppressing City to you. Please be more careful." ah."

"Yes, sir."

Li Shouxin's mouth twitched, and then he said calmly: "The Seventh Army of Suppressing Demon City has [-] people who have just entered the barracks, and we have to recruit thousands more new soldiers. With so many residents in the city, the defense will definitely be inadequate. The problem lies with Moyuan, I hope the commander himself will be more careful."

"Hehe, you kid, you have reminded me now. It seems you have really grown up!"

Regardless of his son's darkened face, Li Jiye reminded: "When recruiting those outsiders, don't go directly to the city, just talk to those military households in the military camp, and then take half a day off in the afternoon, let them go home and spend time with their relatives and friends." My friend said, the people recruited this way will be more reliable."

After hearing this, Li Shouxin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for reminding me. I understand."

"I understand, why are you still staying here?" Li Jiye suddenly glared at him and said, "It's already dawn, why don't you hurry up and get ready?"

"promise."

The soldiers were only given a day off in the afternoon, what should they prepare now?
Although he was a little confused, Li Shouxin obeyed the order and left the main tent.

How come this silly boy is so smart sometimes and so stupid sometimes!
After some inner discussion, Li Jiye shook his head and walked to the desk again.

Lay out the letter paper and start rubbing ink...

The plan has changed, and the tasks of the Shenwu Guard and the Youxiao Guard have changed. Although he has the right, it is better to talk to the empress.

Of course, the most important thing is the birth of the Dark World Demon Clan, which must be known to the court so that they can respond accordingly.

He was also a little worried. The Demon Clan from the Dark World was born, and what about the Demon Clan that retreated with them back then?

Will they also be born together?
