"Before attacking Group B again, we must first figure out a very important issue."

As soon as Yan Yueque returned to City A, he immediately held a strategic meeting. At present, Dan Tai Jing, as a military advisor, is making priority speeches.

"—Where did the reinforcements that suddenly emerged in Jicheng come from?"

The meeting in City A also started a video call with City B. Ge Shuchong, who participated in the Battle of Jicheng, couldn't help but speak on the other side:

"I had sensed clearly before that there were absolutely no extra troops in my city, otherwise no matter how reckless I was, I would not rush inside!"

Sitting beside him was Lian Huacan, who was left behind by him in the previous battle and struggled all the way among the enemy, and only half of his life strips were left. He had a gloomy face from the beginning. After his companions asked, he hummed impatiently and replied:

"At that time, I just felt that if I was so generous to attract us to pursue, there might be another conspiracy. As for the breath... I did not have any special sense."

After receiving his testimony, Ge Shu Chong looked even more proud, while Lian Huacan glared at him fiercely. He would not forget that he had a calculation to settle with him!

"Maybe...it's Gengcheng!" As everyone looked at each other and guessed, Cen Ling suddenly raised his head.

"Think about it, from the beginning, the resources assigned to us and Group B were equal, and it was impossible to have special abilities that they had but we did not have. If the only thing we had to say... is Gengcheng!"

"Cen Ling's words make sense." Dan Tai Jing nodded and agreed, "If Group B had this ability to teleport instantly, then when we attack Ding City, they could reinforce and would not allow us to capture Ding City... The only explanation is that this ability was obtained after Ding City fell! In other words, after they captured Geng City..."

"So I have said a long time ago that Gengcheng should be defeated sooner!" Yan Yueque slapped hard on the table in front of him, "Feng Boliang is still determined to act... She has to bear this responsibility!"

"You can't blame her all." Dan Tai Jing smiled dryly to smooth things over. "If we directly attack Gengcheng on the first day, the full war with Group B would be advanced. At that time, the number of casualties would be similar..."

Yan Yueque did not listen to his analysis, stood up suddenly and raised his voice: "Anyway, the most urgent thing is to quickly defeat Gengcheng! Pass the order and rectify the troops, and we will send troops immediately!"

Tan Tai Jing advised again: "City Lord, the battle before was greatly damaged, but now the soldiers need rest and recuperation... Besides, it is said that the terrain of Geng City is easy to defend but difficult to attack..."

Yan Yueque made a strong decision: "I don't care. I am the commander-in-chief. I want to fight if I want to fight!"

So, Group A's wounded soldiers set out again to advance towards Gengcheng without even formulating a strategy.

Feng Boliang did not express his objection. Yan Yueque saw that she really recognized her status, so he just snorted coldly and drove past her in a proud manner.

...

In the first battle with Gengcheng, Group A was indeed extremely embarrassed to score.

On the city tower, a reinforced crossbow was set up early, and the arrows were shooting in all directions in irregular manner. Group A soldiers could only avoid them and could not charge forward.

Similarly, the cooperation of the generals defending the city in Geng City was also very tacit. Compared with the initial siege battle, the trialists of Group B have now successfully settled in. Under their control, the dead mechanisms have turned into living weapons. In addition, the fully armed virtual legion has no power to compare.

Although Yan Yueque was so angry that he shouted that whoever dared to take a step back, I slashed him with one knife, but it was still difficult to resist the defeat of retreating like a tide. In the end, they had to transfer the team and withdraw from Geng City in a mess.

Fortunately, in this battle, except for a few virtual soldiers who were injured by arrows, there were no large-scale deaths. Thanks to Feng Boliang and Rong Xiao, when they attacked the city, they were always committed to protecting their subordinates and establishing a solid barrier for the army.

Although Yan Yueque said with a serious face that if they also joined the battle, Gengcheng might have been captured. But in the hearts of the soldiers at the bottom, a general who disregarded the lives of the soldiers and a commander who could treat the whole army equally, was naturally the latter more popular with the people. Even though Yan Yueque was still dissatisfied, he did not want to offend the public's anger and had to give up.

After withdrawing his troops and returning to the city, Feng Boliang held another temporary meeting.

"The cities in Group B have now become a solid piece. I'm afraid it will not be so easy for us to conquer it in a short period of time."

"However, this does not mean that they have no flaws."

"When the granary is open, they have to transport grain, right? We can take this opportunity to attack their food..."

According to the trial rules, there is a granary in the open space about fifty miles away from the city. Every once in a while, the granary will automatically open as a supply for the soldiers.

The granary cannot be destroyed and is used by both groups of members. Each city must send soldiers to carry grain trucks and rush to the granary to collect. The general can be escorted, or the baggage troops distributed by the system can be transported. However, if there are no strong people in the team, the food is most likely to be snatched or burned by another team.

Once the food and grass are seized, the team will not be able to collect food and grass in the warehouse until the next granary is opened. If they cannot try to seize the other party's food and grass, they may have to go hungry in the short term.

The configuration of the granary is very simple. There are two warehouses in total, provided to two groups ab. When the grain and grass are just produced, each group can only receive its own grain and grass. For example, Group a can only obtain grain and grass from warehouse a, but it cannot carry out any seizure or destruction of grain and grass in warehouse b.

Once the grain and grass are transported out of the granary, it will become a homeless thing that can be exchanged at will. For example, after Group A transports grain out of the warehouse, there is a risk of being snatched by Group B. Group A, who loses grain and grass, cannot transport grain from its own home or warehouse B, even if it returns to the granary, it can only wait for an opportunity to grab the grain and grass taken away by Group B, or wait for Group B to transport grain from Warehouse B and then snatch it.

"Before this, we will hold our troops temporarily and use this period to train the army well. When the time is right, we will fight a beautiful turnaround!"

This meeting was almost entirely spoken by Feng Boliang at home. Although Yan Yueque, who was sitting beside her, had a cold face and was full of dissatisfaction, he had no way to conquer Gengcheng. The rash provocation would only make him even more embarrassed.

As for Mo Gucheng, he did not participate in the meeting directly. He was also absent from the entire attack on Gengcheng. However, others were used to his incompetence, so no one said much.

So, Group A entered a short rest period.

On the one hand of Group B, although some people suggested taking this opportunity to pursue and fight hard and completely wipe out Group A, Yan Junlin knew very well that there were many strong people in Group A. It would be better not to take action easily before they knew their further plans.

Respond to changes with the same change. If the enemy does not move, I will not move. First improve the overall quality of the army, and when the war starts again, you can also win steadily.

For several consecutive days, the two groups trained their troops, and the water of the well did not interfere with the river. However, all this calmness was just waiting for the granary to open, and a more violent outbreak was brewing.

...

On this day, Sikong Sheng was practicing martial arts in the open space.

Mu Hansha, who was also going out to practice martial arts, greeted him in surprise.

"morning."

"Did you get up so early to practice?" Then he asked curiously.

In the past, Sikong Sheng had a better temper than anyone else. When he was fine, he could stay in bed until noon. Why did he become diligent now when he entered the trial space?

Sikong Sheng was still moving his legs excitedly: "Because I think the feeling of making meritorious service is really great! If there is any task to make meritorious service next time, I will give it to me!"

It turned out that he was eager to do it a few more times because he was the "bait" in the offensive and defensive battle in Jicheng. If he really could do it hard to strive for it, it would be a good thing, and he was afraid that it would always be three minutes of popularity. Mu Hansha thought about this and couldn't help laughing:

"If you are so active, you don't have to do anything. As long as you quarrel with Jiang Caini a few times, for us, you have already made great contributions."

"When it comes to that crazy woman..." Sikong Sheng slowed down his tone, pressed his chest with one hand, and looked up at the sky with a bitter look on his face, "I have to say a few words to my fans and friends here..."

"I think they will switch channels directly." After Sikong Sheng launched the "reproach mode", Mu Hansha said to himself.

In the online live broadcast room, there are 7 channels in this mission, corresponding to seven cities. Viewers can freely choose channels and watch live broadcasts in real time, while other channels you miss can be watched and replayed afterwards.

Except for a small number of people with military talents, most of the audience just watch the fun. They don’t care how these laymen fight. They only need to watch their idols, how they are handsome in the show, how majestic, and how they beat the enemy to kneel down and beg for mercy...

If we look at the popularity of the trialists in Jicheng, 99% of girls would rather watch Feng Qiwu eat melon seeds than Sikong Sheng’s miserable confession.

...

Gengcheng.

Guan Zhen was wearing fine armor, walking in front of the virtual soldiers' phalanx, examining their formation, and sometimes shouting slogans:

"One! Two! Turn right and step on the spot-"

Under his command, the virtual soldiers followed the slogans. Whether it was the queue or the practice of shooting skills, they all had an impeccable aura.

Jian Zhiheng happened to walk past the field and saw the completely different side of his good brothers. He couldn't help but stop and contemplate. He waited until Guan Zhen's training came to an end, and then he clapped vigorously and walked forward.

"So handsome, Ah Lin! Are you?"

As soon as Guan Zhen saw him, the cold aura of a soldier disappeared without a trace. His eyes were low and he returned to the shy boy.

"Although Group A has not made any moves these days, I don't think we can take it lightly. So when I have time, I will take the soldiers to practice, hoping that they can always stay in the best state..."

"You did a very good job!" Jian Zhiheng patted his shoulder excitedly, "You don't know how handsome you were when you trained the army just now! I really regret not recording it for you! If you continue like this, you can be like Uncle Guan and be a constable!"

At the moment just now, he really felt that Guan Quan, wearing armor, was like a natural detective.

In the past, he would always say that his father was very tall and handsome when he was wearing constable clothes. Now Jian Zhiheng thought that he must be the same chic look. The father and son are really suitable for this set of clothes.

"Don't make fun of me..." Guan Zhen dodged his sight, "Being a constable is to serve the people. But now, I don't even dare to talk to others with my head raised and my chest. How can I protect the people..."

When he was the only one, he could indeed imitate his father and train freely. Because he knew very well that these virtual soldiers were lifeless, they would neither laugh at him nor resist him. If he was asked to face a group of real soldiers, he would never have the courage to stand in front of them.

Jian Zhiheng didn't want him to give up: "Don't worry! There will always be times when you let you stand alone! Maybe you will have a chance on the battlefield this time? Besides, being a constable like your father is your original dream. Have you forgotten?"

"I have given up my original dream long ago..." Guan Zhen smiled at him, but his eyes no longer brightly when he was training. "Didn't I decide when I was in the Higher Education Department that I want to be a singer in the future and travel around the world with you?"

"And I don't need to be alone... because you will accompany me and face it with me at any time. This is what you promised me, right?"

Ah Chi... Jian Zhiheng suddenly felt a little speechless. Guan Ci, who had resisted the whole world, pulled him out of the desperate darkness. But since then, he has been relying on himself, just like on the boundless sea level, the only soul island that can make him depend on...

Isn’t Guan Zi, who relies on himself like this, going to another extreme?

He was the most confident and the most real person. After watching Guan Zhen’s training scene, Jian Zhiheng firmly believed in this. The problem is that he never dared to take this step. What kind of way can help him affirm his own value and help him find his true self-reality?

...

A few more days passed.

The granary is finally about to be opened for the first time.

Group one party.

"What, tunnel warfare?"

Feng Boliang nodded: "Yes, this is what I thought of in the past few days. Since I can't attack for a force, then dig an authentic tunnel and go straight to the inside of the city from the ground!"

"After the last attack, we can at least be sure. Gengcheng can teleport to friendly cities, but the soldiers of other cities cannot teleport to Gengcheng in reverse. That is to say, as long as we enter Gengcheng and take them down in the shortest time, other cities will not have time to rescue them."
