Under the gradually warming sun, the camp was filled with sweating and various figures of various equipment. From time to time, there were smoke representing firearms, covering the sky above the camp in the distance.

According to the tradition of our army, even if it is during the marching and fighting intervals, as long as there are some possibilities and conditions, the corresponding physical fitness and skills cannot be delayed at all times.

Driven by a certain force, the special vassal soldier was also able to join in as a supporting mixed training of some coordination and adaptability.

In a sense, this also represents the potential willingness of Luo Fan to get close to and personally understand the Huaidong firearm tactics and corresponding military tactics details at the cost of this force.

But I couldn't help but yawn because this kind of daily life was too calm.

The vanguard of the joint army, after fighting a fierce battle between Beizhenyi and the white-clothed sorrow soldier under the city, was the coalition, which had both strength and equipment, gained the upper hand;

However, when the two teams were about to be double-teamed and wiped out the opponent, the Pinglu army, who had retreated from the way, came out again. After paying a certain price, they still brought the remaining power of the opponent back to the city.

Next, we entered the garbage time when the offense and defense were quite boring. Because for me, drowning in the siege is the most annoying thing.

It’s a pity that Liaoxi County City or Kaiyi City, as the old nest run by the Xue family for generations, also has a strong city that has been besieged several times. Although the scale and layout are smaller than Liaocheng, the layout and solidity of the city defense are no less than that of Liaocheng.

Even if my four-inch field guns with my army were shot, it would only break a little bit of the outer edge of the battlement when it caused a seemingly amazing corresponding damage. Of course, if there were heavy siege artillery with a larger caliber, you might also consider slowly chewing the city defense.

Or you can also consider using blasting, which requires long-term exploration and preparation. But this is obviously not the conditions I currently have.

Moreover, the other party also had large stone cannons and crossbows to provide condescending counter-suppression and support methods. It was a waste of my artillery firepower when shooting.

In addition, there are several solid sturdy slaughtered soldiers along the mountains on the periphery of Kaiping City, which serve as a shield and echo. Therefore, before they are completely removed, they cannot devote themselves to the siege to capture the siege.

Therefore, after a slight attempt to get frustrated, Luo Fan's next strategy was only focused on besieging the five city gates, and divided his troops to loot and sweep the villages, towns, and cities in other places.

Because, places such as Yanran Guard and Langzhong Guard and other places are already quite empty and even unprepared because of the loss of Xue's troops and generals and the sharp contraction.

My troops also had time to free up their hands and took the initiative to undertake the sweeping mission. The main thing was to cooperate with the exclusive vassal army, heading southwest along the mountains, opening up the coastal route to the northern end of the western Liaoning Corridor, and belonging to Liulin County (now between Chaoyang City and Jinzhou City).

Similarly, because the coastal inland terrain of this area is low-lying, sandbanks are everywhere on the shore edge, seas are crisscrossed, and mud and sand belts are vast, and there are many places suitable for boats to dock.

In this way, you can obtain a temporary landing point through the sea, obtain some limited supplies and follow-up information from Huaidong, and support from outside intelligence from the sea.

Of course, according to the public statement of the Xue family lord Luo Zhanji, at least he was not overwhelmed by the victory in front of him, but called out slogans such as taking down Yingzhou, the important town of Pinglu Road, or fighting back to the Wuding River in Youzhou, and regaining the shame of the previous ones.

Under his leadership, Luo Fan gave his all to advance this time, and the goal and expectations of the Xue family, which had been completely resolving the endless revenge and killing for generations. He also made it clear in his private briefing and did not think that this time he could solve the Xue family, the old rival family, once and for all.

At least tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who have retreated to Kaiyi City and have close ties with the Xue family will not be so easy to sit still and wait for death.

Therefore, it is already very satisfying to use this opportunity to weaken and destroy as much as possible. The foundation of the Xue family's foothold and sustainability in western Liaoning is already very satisfying.

Therefore, the actions of my side divisions are also called the Battle of Close, because if the war is successful, it can seal the various roads in Hebei once and for all, invade and intervene in Andong's portal from the western Liaoning Corridor.

The land of Anton, which has been quarreled, temporarily cut off the efforts and promotion of external factors, so that it can be closed and then slowly resolve historical grievances and many legacy problems with the isolated and helpless Xue family.

But in my opinion, everything in this world can be as good as everyone's wishes. However, he still congratulated his expectations and prospects in advance, and then accepted the task of dividing troops to the south with conditions.

After this operation, I seemed to be getting deeper and deeper in this war. On the one hand, it was about the subsequent interest orientation, such as rising as more benefits as possible from the decline and even the demise of the Xue family.

For example, from the land of Liaoxi occupied by Luo's who had greatly lost strength, they obtained corresponding ports and property resources in the name of supporting the defense, etc. and other expected conditions.

On the other hand, I also have my selfishness and obsession that I am not willing to do. If I have the chance, I still want to see the familiar figure again. I hold the Qingluan Sword to clarify the relationship and origin of each other, and it can be considered a break from the past...

Therefore, after a little rest, our army swept through several cities and seven or eight fortresses all the way, it easily got the expected end point - Longcheng County in Liulin County. This is the ancestral land of Longcheng where the Xianbei Murong clan, the restoration madman of the Northern Dynasty, made his fortune.

However, after we arrived, we found that there were only a bunch of ruins for people to pay tribute to in Longcheng County, as well as newly added ruins, which were obviously the masterpiece left by the Luofan army last time they drove south.

Because the terrain here is low and is often eroded by sea tides, and some of the old sites of the remaining city walls are actually half submerged in the sea water at high tide. Therefore, there is basically no place to use the remaining parts.

Therefore, it seems that this mission is really our army. After all, our army's reputation as the best in field battles was tested after a series of wars in the Northern Expedition.

So, my latest task became to cut the appropriate wood from the nearby Yacha Mountain; then drift down the Xiaoqing River to the sea estuary and fish it up; first erecting a half-mile wooden wall at the narrowest shrinkage point along the coast to the mountainous area.

After the wooden wall is initially completed, relying on the wooden wall, dig forward into deep ditches one by one, and then pile up soil as a building platform; then, from the ruins of Longcheng County, those large sections of brick and stone building materials are transported as reinforcement materials for the construction of key defense facilities such as sentry towers, corner towers, and archways.

Such a temporary defense line that is surrounded by mountains and seas, guarding the key rush has basically taken shape.

During this period, the biggest problem was not the shortage of manpower and materials, but the harassment and destruction of sporadic enemies from nearby areas under the open terrain.

Because of the news and rumors that in our rear, there were many local people or vassals who were inclined toward the Xue family, who fled into the mountains with many young and strong men, and relied on the familiar geographical advantage to deal with the Luofan troops who came to sweep.

Of course, another factor causing this situation is the Luofan army itself.

In the process of carrying out the mission of sweeping and eliminating, they were aroused by new and old hatreds, and it was difficult for them to maintain an undefeated attitude in the local area; and when they encountered resistance and non-cooperation, they would certainly not be particularly merciful.

In fact, even the vassal lord Luo Zhanji did not return to the opposite of most people, but deliberately restrained or stopped them.

Only the troops responsible for cooperating with our army did not join this carnival feast that was in disguise and rewarded under the strong demands and constraints of our army.

So then again, if it were the traditional Luofan army alone, it might have troubled and delayed the construction period, but with the firearmed Huaidong Army under my command, it would be completely different.

With Luo Fan's manpower fully investing in construction and our army providing assistance and alert, in just three days, hundreds of new and old corpses scattered near the wall-building construction site had already been added.

Many of them were trying to play lurking infiltration games deep behind enemy lines, and suddenly touched the bells and barbed wire, and were killed by secret whistles and hunters in the trenches. There were also a few people who were tragic in death, who were killed by experimental landmines, or were killed by artillery shells in the preset bombing point.

It’s a pity that I am free, have the mood and time to think about things, and have been sad and in the spring and autumn, three of them are unable to let go. And they start to daze at any time, as if they are indulging in some memories and past;

Although I had acquiesced to my willful behavior in places that people could not see, and touched her whole body, and did not resist the request of staying as a pillow after warming the bed, I flatly rejected my attempts and plans to proclaim my debauchery day and night in the army.

Well, at least it has been a great progress like "legs and breasts are very good, you can play all day".

At this time, a notification voice made my hand reluctantly pull out from under the three armors.
