Chapter 46 Building a city overnight
The fire on the city wall finally stopped when it was completely dark.
"Sir, will you throw some more fire altars over?" I looked at the ice city that had only completed the rough frame. The coldest night was the time to build the ice city, and I only made a rough frame during the day.
"Don't worry, wait until they come and throw them away. Put more torches on the city, don't let the enemy have an opportunity to take advantage of it." Jiang Cheng waved his hand and said.
It was late at night, and Jiang Cheng, who had not closed his eyes for five days and five nights in a row, was already a little distressed. Even though his body had been practiced again and again, his potential had been discovered to the extreme, but it was still a flesh and blood body. Over the years, Jiang Cheng has not done nothing. His nerves have always been tense, especially after Zhao Zihao was unconscious, he had such a heavy burden in his first battle, which made Jiang Cheng feel breathless.
But he couldn't rest. The acceptance of the soldiers of Wurui Camp with him could not be established in just a few days. For example, today, the soldiers of Wurui Camp have an attitude of not working hard. It's not that they don't want to defend the city, but that they don't believe that they can build the city overnight, or that they don't believe that they are the temporary commander.
Prestige needs to be established little by little, but the premise is that the city cannot be destroyed. If the city is destroyed, then everything is over. How can I have time to let him establish prestige little by little?
Zhao Zihao told him that whether you have the ability to command the command is not the most important thing when leading troops to fight. The most important thing is that your soldiers obey you, believe you, and are willing to listen to you. Otherwise, even if you are a peerless handsome man, if your soldiers are twisted with you, you will not be able to do anything. So if you want to command a soldier, don’t worry about the general’s talent first. Let everyone convince you first is the first step.
Of course, this does not mean to curry favor with the soldiers under his command. The leader of the first army should have the majesty of the leader of the first army. If this majesty is reduced, then don’t expect the soldiers under his command to take your order seriously. How to grasp the degree in this has always been the first thing every general needs to do after leading the army.
The way of commander, but to put it bluntly, can also be said to be the way of governing the underworld. Jiang Cheng has been exploring this knowledge these days, and this is not something he learned in the Tianyuan Sect can solve.
If he had the chance, he wanted to stay in the military camp for a while!
A thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Cheng's mind. Jiang Cheng was always curious about his unknown knowledge, especially those who could make him grow up.
I don’t know if there are any tasks similar to training. I might consider taking on such tasks next year. The Tianyuan Sect’s library is all-encompassing, but I have never seen the art of war.
Shaking his head, Jiang Cheng threw away the messy thoughts that suddenly appeared. He knew that this was because his mental fatigue caused his attention to decline.
In the middle of the night, the coalition forces touched the city wall and the city wall burned again. Unfortunately, there were not many people. The enemy obviously did not want the city to build a defense again, and did not want to lose too many soldiers.
On Jiang Cheng's side, there are so many people in Wurui Camp, one less one died, and there is a possibility of accidental injury in night battles. Such a small number of soldiers cannot be wasted in such meaningless small fights. If all the tincture oil can be wasted so that the soldiers of Wurui Camp will not lose one soldier, Jiang Cheng is definitely willing to do it. The current situation is that people are more precious than resources.
In one night, the coalition forces had touched it seven or eight times, and were burned away by the flames. When the sun just rose, the ice city had already begun to take shape, and was more than ten feet away from the original city wall. In Jiang Cheng's opinion, such a range was more suitable for the current number of Wurui Camp. However, the height of the city wall was a little low, and it was only three feet overnight, which did not meet Jiang Cheng's expectations. However, even so, this ice city still shocked the soldiers of Wurui Camp and the people of the city. It was really able to build a city overnight. This was definitely a great encouragement for the increase in morale and Jiang Cheng's prestige in Wurui Camp.
"From the perspective," Bai Zhirou held a brush and looked at several awkward generals, and outlined a line on the sketch: "It is impossible for the enemy to discover the ice city before it reaches seven zhang. If we can rush to reach seven zhang tonight and guard it for another day tomorrow, we will raise the ice city by one or two zhang tonight, and cooperate with the iron mechanism crossbows created by the craftsmen in the past two days, we can completely defend this ice city!"
Although the eight or nine-meter-high city wall is not as high as the magnificent city wall as hundreds of feet tall as Tianyuan City, this is not a real war between monks. Such a high city wall is enough to resist the vast majority of troops. The ladders of the coalition forces seem to not reach this high. With the mechanism crossbow, she couldn't think of any ability for the enemy to break through this stronger ice city.
"Miss Bai, don't worry, the soldiers were not very skilled last night. I believe that they would be able to raise the ice city to seven zhang or even higher today." The army said a little embarrassedly. Because of the passive slacking of work in Wurui Camp, they only made three zhang ice city walls overnight. Now building the city overnight allows these soldiers to see the actual effect, and it will definitely be much faster tonight.
"It cannot exceed seven zhang, otherwise the coalition forces will come to attack tomorrow." Jiang Cheng shook his head. His ideal height was ten zhang. He originally hoped that the construction would be completed in two nights, but now it seems that it has to be postponed to three nights: "How much tincture oil is left in the city?"
"About half of it, I used a lot last night." Zheng Jun bowed.
"Save some use, let someone divide the tinea oil into two or three jars!" Jiang Cheng instructed: "In addition, let the soldiers take turns to rest, eat and drink and keep them full. In three days, they may be able to fight to the decisive battle."
"Yes!" Zheng Jun now has a little admiration for Jiang Cheng, and is also the most convenient general Jiang Cheng has ever used.
After discussing some details, the generals said goodbye and left, going to prepare various things. Seeing that Jiang Cheng was a little tired, Bai Zhirou gently rubbed his temples, and a trace of breath overflowed to help Jiang Cheng relieve stress.
"According to your design, in addition to the main entrance, this ice city has three secret doors. The outside is ice surface, but the inside is empty, and it can be broken with just one poke."
Jiang Cheng leaned his body against the back of the chair and enjoyed the massage of the former beautiful teacher. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that the sect has an order. The organ beasts brought from Tianyuan City are only responsible for transporting us and supplies, and cannot be used for strategic purposes. Otherwise, he just needs to control the organ and put tincture oil into the enemy camp. How could it be so difficult?"
"The sect uses magic power to deal with mortals. Our cultivation level has not reached the foundation building and is also among mortals. We can participate in the battle. However, the sect Peng is a high-level sect puppet. It not only contains formations, but also has spirit stones, and also has weapon refining techniques. If it is used to deal with mortals, it is considered to violate the rules of the sect, and not only the sect rules, but also the rules of Tianyuan City are the same." Bai Zhirou shook her head. The sect rules of the Tianyuan Sect will definitely not be violated. Once discovered, they will definitely be severely punished.
"I'm just a little bored. The things I bought in Hua Lingshi actually have so many restrictions, which is really unpleasant." Jiang Cheng shook his head. When receiving these tasks, the Law Enforcement Hall had warned them.
"It's also very good now. The junior brothers can use what they have learned." Bai Zhirou hesitated for a moment: "After returning to the sect this time, I want to try your method!"
"What?" Jiang Cheng didn't react for a moment, then suddenly realized, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Did you think it through clearly? That kind of pain, what you have experienced."
"You always have to fight. You can hold on with a man, why can't a woman?" Bai Zhirou smiled and said, "You are still what I taught you."
"It makes sense. I have nothing to say. The first thing I do after I go back is to help you do this." Jiang Cheng smiled.
"One word is determined."
