The Battle of Lianzhou is the largest war that has occurred between the main map, the player lord and the indigenous forces since the first year of Gaia.

The total number of troops mobilized by both sides exceeded 100,000.

The sudden war once again made Shanhai City the focus of attention in China. Ouyang Shuo's absence cast a shadow on this war.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the Lianzhou Basin.

Many civilian players who support Ouyang Shuo were very worried about Ouyang Shuo.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Shanhai City. Under the joint sniping of the three parties, it is unknown whether Shanhai City can still stand firm in the Lianzhou Basin.

No one thinks that Shanhai City can easily escape from this premeditated war this time. The best ending is to try hard to defend it, leaving behind a dilapidated Shanhai City, which will greatly damage its vitality.

Some people who are flirting even make a gambling game, how long can Shanhaicheng last...

Not only Chinese players, but also global players are paying attention to this war. For no other reason, it is because the protagonist of the war is No.1 among global lord players, which naturally attracts much attention.

Jack Dawson murmured to himself: "Our old friend is going to be one step ahead!"

"You are so sure that the Marquis of Lianzhou will win this war?" His friend expressed doubts.

"Hey, if you can't even deal with this little difficulty, how can you be my opponent?" Jack was full of confidence.

“…”

"We must also step up the arrangements for the actions of the natives. Alas, I am still too kind." Jack smiled, but his words were ruthless. "Tell them that if they don't surrender, they will be ready to endure the disaster of genocide!"

"no problem!"

UK, Fort Ivik.

Marquis William shouted to the clerk dissatisfiedly: "The Marquis of Lianzhou has the strength to launch a war of 100,000 troops. Let's see what we are doing, play mud or play house, ah?"

“…”

The clerk remained silent and the atmosphere was a little embarrassed.

William tried hard to calm down his emotions and asked instead: "How is the steam engine developed?"

"Everything goes well, and it is expected to take another one and a half years to take shape."

"One and a half? It's too slow! It's too slow!" William looked fanatical, extremely dissatisfied with his subordinates' work, and was about to be furious again, "It's urgent to reappear the glory of the Empire that the Sun never sets!"

William is a noble in reality, a lord with a huge national complex. His ideal is to recreate the glory of the British Empire, dominate the ocean, and colonize the world.

"Yes, I will hurry up and arrange it." The clerk replied carefully.

William said with a hideous face and a cold voice: "One year, remember, I only give you one year! If you can't give me a satisfactory answer a year later, you know the consequences."

"no problem!"

The clerk felt distressed, but he did not dare to refuse the Marquis' request.

Annan District, Haifang County.

PS: Annan is ancient Vietnam, and later it was unified and changed to Annan.

Ruan Tianque, the lord of Haipang County, looked solemn: "Our neighbor is really shocking!"

"Who said no?! The Black Shark Pirates who had been harassing the coast before, and they were destroyed as soon as they were destroyed."

When talking about the Black Shark Pirate, Ruan Tianque's face twitched. Haigong Town was almost destroyed by Black Shark's hands. While he was about to fight back, Black Shark was wiped out by Shanhai City. It was a great irony.

"I really hope that the Marquis of Lianzhou will fall a big fuck this time, otherwise it will eventually become an Annan problem." Thinking of the future national war, Ruan Tianque frowned. No one with such a powerful neighbor would be at ease.

"Isn't it too early to mention the national war now?"

"Are early? No, not early at all. If the Marquis of Lianzhou won this war, there would be no opponent in the Lianzhou Basin. Tell me, who would he look at?" Ruan Tianque was born with a sense of crisis.

“…”

"The matter of connecting with the northern territories and forming a unified alliance must be stepped up." Ruan Tianque looked inexplicably. Unifying the northern part of the south was the first step to realize his personal ambitions, but it was difficult to move forward.

"Things are not easy to deal with. All of those guys are unruly. How can you surrender?"

Ruan Tianque smiled mysteriously: "Didn't the opportunity have appeared? Just use the Marquis of Lianzhou as the imaginary enemy. Can they still be so comfortable? There is an old Chinese saying: First, you must first calm your home if you fight against foreign countries."

"Sir, wise!"

Lianzhou Marquis’ Mansion, the main hall of the meeting.

The four directors and General Bai Qi discussed the matter together. The Military Information Director Song San, the Second Division Commander Luo Shixin, the Deputy Commander of the City Guard Division Zhao Sihu, and the Shanhaicheng Prefect Wei Ran attended the meeting.

Because it was during the war, General Bai Qi, as usual, summarized military affairs and presided over the discussion.

After Song San reported on military information, the hall of conferences was silent.

Military Affairs Director Du Ruhui first spoke: "The outer city wall will definitely not be able to defend. Instead of doing so, it is better for a hero to cut off his arm and abandon the outer city wall and retreat to the three inner cities."

"This method is inappropriate!" Wei Ran immediately opposed, "The outer city is building a large number of residential and commercial areas. Once abandoned, it will inevitably be destroyed by the enemy and the economic losses caused are immeasurable."

Since Wei Ran took office, most of his efforts have been spent on the construction of the outer city of Shanhai City. The military's attempt to abandon the outer city directly is equivalent to letting his efforts be wasted, which he would not want to see anyway.

"The last general also has questions." Zhao Sihu spoke up, mainly from the perspective of war defense: "Not to mention that the outer city will be destroyed. Retreating to the inner city is equivalent to dividing the army into three, and the grassland coalition is all cavalry. They can completely cut off the connection between the three inner cities and let us fight each other."

Bai Qi was not influenced by Wei Ran and Zhao Sihu, and looked at Du Ruhui: "Director Du must have other intentions?" Although he had been working with Du Ruhui for only a month, he admired Du Ruhui very much. This person was far-sighted and determined to make a decision. Du Ruhui could not have thought of the questions raised by Wei Ran and Zhao Sihu.

As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, Zhao Sihu's face turned red and he felt ashamed. He was still too lazy and was eager to express himself, but he did not think about the profound meaning of Du Ruhui's words.

Wei Ran looked calm, and his hard work was his way to the outer city, and no mistakes were allowed.

Du Ruhui glanced at Zhao Sihu, with a hint of encouragement and comfort in his eyes, and then said: "Retreat to the inner city does not mean giving up the outer city. Give up the outer city walls does not mean giving up the external fortifications. As General Zhao said, the enemy is a cavalry, good at field battles, but not good at siege."

"The outer city can be used as a frontier position to defend the enemy. As for economic losses?" Speaking of this, Du Ruhui said with a expressionless face, "This is a war, and we are the defensive side, so it is inevitable to be damaged. Not to mention the outer city, even the inner city will suffer. This is a large-scale war. If we want to achieve the final victory, we must be prepared to fight a protracted war and make huge sacrifices."

Du Ruhui is worthy of being a decisive person and has a strong heart.

Wei Ran felt a pain in his heart and was about to refute it. After thinking about it, he sat back on his original position and remained silent.

Seeing this, Bai Qi felt relieved, and he was afraid that Wei Ran would continue to be entangled. The separation of military and political territorial areas is not a joke! As the Director of Military Affairs, Du Ruhui had absolute authority during the war.

His convening of Wei Ran to attend the meeting was just some military operations, requiring the cooperation of Shanhaicheng. As for affecting military decision-making, it was a bit beyond the reach of the prefect.

In the territory, only the king and the lord can influence military affairs at the same time.

Fortunately, Wei Ran did not make it difficult for him to do it. How could Bai Qi not hear about the rumors from the outside world?

It is rumored that their father-in-law and son-in-law, one of them controls the army and the other controls the county city. Now the king and the lord are not here, and the territory is not decided by their father-in-law and son-in-law.

Although Bai Qi did not have this intention, he had to pay attention.

Wei Ran was also an old fox, and he was even more aware of the rumors that Bai Qi could hear. It was precisely because of this consideration that he suddenly gave up arguing with Du Ruhui.

As for the losses of Shanhaicheng, he can only do his job.

"Please rest assured Director Du, the Administration and the Interior Affairs Office will do a good job in appeasement of the people." Fan Zhongyan expressed his support for the military's decision-making on behalf of the civil service group.

Du Ruhui nodded.

Next, we discuss the military mobilization. With the Second Division and the City Guard Division alone, it is not a big problem to defend it, but if we have to repel or even defeat the enemy, it seems that it is not effective.

Although Junhou did not make a clear statement, Bai Qi speculated that Junhou wanted to use this battle to completely pacify the Lianzhou Basin and create favorable conditions for the external expansion of the territory.

Therefore, other divisions must be drawn to reinforce Shanhaicheng.

Needless to say, the Third Division was restrained by Duanben County and could not be withdrawn for the time being. The First Division must be mobilized, and the defenses in the western region can be temporarily handed over to the defense forces of each city.

The key to the problem is whether to mobilize the Fourth Division.

The establishment of the Fourth Division has always been the secret of Shanhai City. Whether it is a spy from the grassland or a spy from Duanben County, it is impossible to know the existence of the Fourth Division.

They only knew that Mulan City had a larger city defense force. Therefore, the grassland coalition arranged 8,000 troops to monitor Mulan City.

The Fourth Division has basically completed the dress-up change and its combat effectiveness has been improved by a higher level. The grassland army's guarding power against Mulan City is still in the time of the city guard brigade.

This is the biggest variable.

After brief discussion with Du Ruhui, Bai Qi decided to play this card well and not mobilize the Fourth Division for the time being, so that the Fourth Division would temporarily remain unmoved.

The last question is whether the North Sea Fleet should participate in the war.

The Beihai Fleet returning from Yazhou, because the building ships built by the shipyard had not been delivered, was temporarily suppressed and stayed in Beihai City after the second expedition.

"The North Sea Fleet is always on standby, just in case." Du Ruhui was decisive, but it does not mean that he is not cautious. Such a war has more strength and more guarantees.
