"How is the situation?" Mei Kuang glanced at the magicians of the Daozang Institute who were installing magic equipment, and took a deep breath and asked.

The scouts had already reported some news that the four soldiers of Shifeng's Ya army came out of Pengcheng, and Shang Yunxi was obviously trying his best this time, and actually drove the garrisons of Xiaoxian out of all the six soldiers, with 15,000 soldiers. This also means that he did not leave any soldiers or soldiers in Xiaoxian, which is a bad sign.

It is not just that the number of enemy troops is so simple. Shang Yunxi did not leave any soldiers and soldiers in Xiaoxian. This is incredible. In Meikuan's view, this means that Shang Yunxi might have had some tacit understanding with Songzhou or reached an agreement, otherwise Shang Yunxi would not have been like this.

"It's okay, Qin Han and Luo Chenggan's fleet are expected to arrive tomorrow morning and can catch up." Tian Chunlai exhaled a breath of turbid air and stroked a Mo Dao leaning against the wall. "Otherwise, this battle will really not be fought."

The enemy's 25,000 troops were almost all the elites in the army, and this was also the opponent's desperate bet. It can be expected that this battle would have to fight to the death, and there were only 4,000 people on our side. If the First Right Army and the Second Right Army could arrive, they could barely get nine thousand people. However, in order to prevent it, they had to withdraw the navy back to two battalions to station on the line of Tongqiao.

In other words, the Huaiyou Army guarding Fuli City was only about 8,000 people, and they wanted to force the 25,000 influence army to trap beasts and fight.

It can be said that this battle can almost determine the future direction of the Xuzhou battle. At this time, even the battle in Qi County seemed insignificant.

The afterglow of the sunset reflected on the city wall, and there was still a bit of hot air. The bluestone pheasants were a little hot because of the sun. Various city guarding supplies were continuously transported from the city.

The magicians and the assistant masters were sweating profusely assembling various magical instruments, stopping to adjust them from time to time.

If you want to defend Fu Licheng, you can't do without these magical equipment. You are three times more likely to be your own soldiers, and the other party seems to have to fight.

This battle is a life-long view, which is Mei Kuang and Tian Chunlai.

Three Fire Dragon Cannons were placed in the middle of the north gate. The huge barrel was extremely heavy. They were lifted up by several strong men and placed carefully on the rotating cannon stand.

This rotary gun mount is also made of cast iron, but a sliding wheel axle is used below, so a person can easily push the movement direction of the gun mount. Once determined, it is fixed with a clamp to prevent movement during operation.

The adjustment of the upper and lower positions of the gun requires a winch, which is also achieved by using multiple cast iron gears. It is very precise. Even Jiang Feng was very surprised that the casting and forging capabilities in the current era are relatively easy to wear, but it is quite rare to reach this level, especially devices like this can be widely used in other productions.

Six simplified versions of the fallen wood tower will hit both sides of the city gate tower and the center line of the corner of the city gate tower and the city wall. This is the most suitable area for the fallen wood tower to exert its power.

It should be said that the wood-rocking tower is the first product of the Daozhan in the Qingzhou, and it also puts the most thought into the Daozhan in the Qingzhou. Due to the huge power of this thing in defending the city, the wood-rocking tower has been optimizing and improving the wood-rocking tower. In order to move quickly, it has also designed weight reduction and modular production of parts. This is also the main reason why the wood-rocking tower can be quickly built on Fuli City.

It can be imagined that the Influence Army will definitely bring a large amount of magical siege equipment.

However, Mei Kuang and Tian Chunlai were still a little sure of it. In terms of magic and magic equipment, the Huaiyou Army had obviously reached the forefront of the vassal states, and perhaps it was slightly inferior to magic and weapons. However, such magic and magic equipment that specializes in defending the city, even Daliang or Yue Kingdom, was already out of date.

Several magicians were carefully surveying and mapping along the thirty steps of the moat under the escort of the army, and circled the positions with white powder from time to time. There was no doubt that this was preparing to set up soil magic traps.

There were also two magicians who fished from the city wall through ropes to the base of the city wall. Something was installed at each place, and then used magic to induce it. Soon, some dark green vines climbed up along the city wall. In an incense stick, more than one foot grew, which made the soldiers on the city wall stunned.

"Deng Guinian's methods are really amazing, and it is not in vain that the emperor has invested so much money in the Daozang Institute." Tian Chunlai observed the magicians who were concentrating on enviousness, "After this battle, it is estimated that the Daozang Institute may be greatly expanded. Deng Guinian won the first prize, so he deserves to be proud."

"Only by giving can you gain something. The Lord has always attached great importance to magic and magic, especially in the defense system. Magic and magic are indeed very advantageous." Mei Kuang said lightly.

"I heard that the Lord is also very creative in the design of magical equipment. Deng Guinian and Gan Quan both call him the Lord a design genius, but unfortunately, the Lord knows nothing about the origin of magical methods." Tian Chunlai shook his head with regret.

"Hehe, spring comes, and the king is already a celestial being. If he is also a magical master, he will become a god."

Mei Kuang has also heard of these situations. Whether it is the fire dragon cannon on the navy ship, the improvement of sail shape and operation, as well as the emergence of new magic weapons such as the fallen wood tower, they all have a lot to do with the Lord. Sometimes he wonders how this character, who had been unknown in Gwangju, had exploded in a few years and showed such omnipotent talent?

Especially his judgment of the current situation, his grasp of people's hearts, and his analysis and countermeasures of current problems are not at all possible levels that he can reach at this age. It is not inferior to those old vassal families who have been immersed in this way for decades, and it is even worse.

"This battle will be the battle of fame for our Huaiyou Army. As long as we can defend Fuli, we will be half of the battle in Xuzhou. If we take Xuzhou, we will be able to compete with Daliang and Dajin!"

Tian Chunlai's words were filled with emotion and sigh.

In more than a year, the unknown general of Shouzhou has stepped onto this stage, and now he has the opportunity to participate in the battle for the victory of Xuzhou. This is a supreme glory for every general.

Especially when he wanted to take Xuzhou, the two states of Sihai were not fighting, and the right general of Huaiyu immediately became a great vassal vassal across the Huai River. He owned the eight states, which was no less than the Wu Kingdom in the Yang Xingmi era, and they all became ministers of the dragon.

The only thing that worries them now is the marriage and descendants of the king, or the most urgent problem of descendants.

According to the current situation of this era, men like Jiang Feng, who are in their twenties, have already had children, but Jiang Feng still has no children, which is an extremely serious problem for a vassal family.

Even though Jiang Feng is already a master of the small heaven and is still making a quick move, no one can be sure what he will encounter in the future war. One or even a few male descendants, especially if they can have them earlier, and even if Jiang Feng is still in his prime in the future, he will be able to become an adult. This is the key to maintaining the stability and continuation of a vassal family.

It seemed that she thought of the same problem. Mei Kuang and Tian Chunlai exchanged glances, and Tian Chunlai licked her lips: "Your Majesty doesn't seem to care much about marriage. Apart from the two concubines he has taken, there has been no movement yet. Some time ago, Lord Chen and Lord Cui were also a little anxious, hoping to solve the problem of your descendants as soon as possible. Lord Cui once told me that if the Mei family or the Tian family have a suitable daughter, you can also consider it."

Mei Kuang hesitated for a moment. This was undoubtedly a relief from the civil service system or the Xuzhou system.

Before this, both the local department of the Xuzhou or the Daliang department were firmly not allowed women of the three surnames of Shouzhou to become concubines. In their opinion, once women of the three surnames of Shouzhou became concubines and gave birth to children, the influence of the Shouzhou department would be greatly enhanced.

In their opinion, Jiang Feng has already received quite a favorable advantage to the Shouzhou Group.

Mei Kuang, Tian Chunlai, Zheng Hong, Zheng Ju, Zheng Jian, and nine Umeda's two families who are currently training in the Dadao Academy. Once the training is completed, four of them may serve as military officers and county magistrates in the two states, and five others will also enter the states to serve as first-class officials.

The advantages of the three surnames of Shouzhou as major surnames have begun to show their talent accumulation. Even the Chen surname where Chen Wei is located cannot be compared with the three surnames of Shouzhou. This advantage will become more apparent with the expansion of Huaiyou's control territory and the passage of time.

"Mr. Cui said so, what about Master Chen?" Mei Kuang thought for a moment.

At this point, Cui Shang and Chen Wei are not on the same front.

Behind Chen Wei is the Chen family in the Hanzhou, representing the local gentry forces of Guangxi and the two states. Although Cui Shang was born in the Cui family of the five surnames and seven hopes, he was actually a concubine and had already declined. In a sense, he was already a poor commoner. Cui Shang naturally did not have so many concerns. As long as he could give birth to children, it was undoubtedly the most urgent to stabilize the morale of the army. As for which family his mother came from, there was not so much attention.

"Mr. Chen didn't say it clearly, but he probably was under some pressure and could not resist it." Tian Chunlai smiled.

Mei Kuang nodded. This is normal. They each represent their own systems and interests. How can they easily give in and compromise?

"I'm afraid this matter will have to be clear after the Xuzhou war. Spring is a good thing for our three surnames, but it's the same risk. Once, uh, I said that once the women of Umeda family really gave birth to children first, all the pressure will be concentrated on us, and what will the Junshang's wife think in the future? If Junshang's wife gave birth to children, what should we do? The water here is so deep."

Mei Kuang's words made Tian Chunlai sweat coldly.
