"You... want to send troops out of the city?"

When Xu Yuan heard this, there was a slight hesitation in his eyes.

"Yeah." Li Qingyan nodded.

"Isn't it too risky?" Xu Yuan asked in a low voice hesitantly: "The barbarian camps are all located twenty miles outside Beifeng City."

Twenty miles.

This is the experience summed up by the barbarians through bloody lessons.

Most of the defensive equipment in Beifeng City are more accurate array ballistas, and they also shoot thick and large source crystal arrows.

It can hit more than ten miles away.

If the barbarians camped too close together, they would be living targets, and they would have to accept the condescending "caress" from Beifeng City every day.

For this reason, the barbarians also specially changed their siege equipment into beast-throwing vehicles. There is no accuracy at all, but there is no need for accuracy. After all, Beifeng City is so large. As long as you work hard with great force, you can hit Beifeng.

Just stay in the city.

However, the twenty-mile camping distance also poses a problem.

If the barbarians want to attack the city, they need to run twenty miles on the plain before they can reach the city wall.

However, from the perspective of the barbarians who occupy the right time and place, this is not a problem.

In the climate of blizzards and natural disasters, if the barbarians attack the city, they will basically sneak up to three or four miles away from Beifeng City before the high-level cultivators on the city wall can detect them.

Yesterday, the Blackscale Guards were able to gain something by going out of the city to attack the camp. This was entirely because the barbarian side's field of vision was also affected by the blizzard and natural disasters, and their footing was not stable, catching the opponent by surprise.

Now that the blizzard has stopped, if they want to leave the city to attack the camp, their vision is no longer blocked. The defenders in Beifeng City have to run twenty miles on their legs if they want to leave the city to attack the camp.

Li Qingyan naturally thought of this and said in a calm voice:

"My Prince Consort, although the destruction of the sect's warehouses in the city has advantages, it has also created a shortcoming that must be solved urgently."

"Is it imminent?" Xu Yuan's eyes flashed.

From a macro perspective of the entire northern territory, the sect does have its shortcomings, that is, lack of food.

Cultivation of immortality is not a perpetual motion machine. High-level cultivators who have advanced in the realm of body integration must also breathe in and out of energy to avoid eating or drinking, let alone the soldiers below.

But today's food supply is not imminent, and the city can still survive for more than half a month relying on the court's storage.

Li Qingyan's eyes were a little helpless, as if he was looking at a fool:

"Military morale."

"......"

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then shut up.

Depending on where he stands, there are many things that he cannot consider.

He simply forgot about his military morale.

Those war games in previous lives would collapse without morale, let alone the real world.

Li Qingyan walked slowly to the sand table in the barracks, looked at the proportionally reduced terrain sand table around Beifeng City, and whispered in a serious tone:

"Although there is a large defensive formation in Beifeng City, the generals and lieutenants above are tight-lipped about the real situation and report good news but not bad news to the soldiers, but the soldiers below are not fools."

Xu Yuan sighed and replied:

"The battle hasn't even started yet. The city gate tower was almost blown up, causing damage to the formation. The warehouse was bombed again last night. I guess the soldiers below are already talking about it, right?"

Li Qingyan nodded and said:

"Even the Yulin Guards under me have started to talk about the fall of Beifeng City, not to mention the sect's border troops. If the barbarians didn't only regard my people of Dayan as two-legged sheep, these people may have already

Other thoughts."

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes:

"Do you want a victory to stabilize the morale of the army?"

Li Qingyan stared at the sand table:

"It's not about wanting to, it's about having to."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

After all, people are individuals. When the minds of most people in a group begin to lose control, that is the beginning of the roar.

The barbarians do not accept surrender, and the situation of surrounding three and one missing will make these barbarians try their best to escape to the Houting County area.

After all,

What if you survive?

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan asked tentatively:

"But if this trip fails, the military morale in the city will be completely shattered."

Hearing this, Li Qingyan was quiet for a few breaths, and suddenly looked back and smiled. After the decision was made, it seemed that there was no sign of solemnity on her face at all. The armor on her body made her face look stunningly clear and heroic:

"Consort, today's Beifeng City can only gain a glimmer of hope by making a desperate move."

"......"

Xu Yuan looked at Li Qingyan's smiling eyes and was speechless for a moment.

It is only a matter of time before Beifeng becomes a dead city. This is basically the default situation in the eyes of informed senior officials.

Including him, Xu Yuan, he had even arranged the back-up plan for the fall of Beifeng in advance.

It is impossible for Li Qingyan not to see through this situation, but she still wants to defend Beifeng City.

Exhaling a breath, Xu Yuan asked seriously:

"You are telling me this because you want to use my Black Scale Army's animal farm in the city?"

Li Qingyan smiled slightly and shook his head:

"No, I want the Black Scale Army to defend the bombed south gate. Once I make a move in the east of the city, the barbarian king will immediately attack the south of the city."

Although he didn't know how to fight, Xu Yuan instantly understood what Li Qingyan meant.

It is indeed dangerous to go out to harass, but Nancheng will become even more dangerous.

As a lunatic, the barbarian alien king would not let go of this opportunity. As long as it was confirmed that the Yulin army had gone to the east of the city, he would even directly use the war beasts.

Under such circumstances, she did not dare to hand over the defense of Nancheng to the sect's border troops.

It's not that I'm worried that the other party will rebel and surrender to the enemy, but that I simply don't trust these pigs to be able to hold on.

Although there are about 100,000 in number, they are all second-line troops of the eighth or ninth grade.

This kind of troops was already elite in Shengshan County at the time, but it was impossible to make it to the forefront in a place like the Northern Territory where there was a national war.

Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed the smooth corners of the mahogany table, speaking in a steady voice:

"But the Black Scale Guards only have one battalion (five thousand people) now, so they may not be able to defend it."

Li Qingyan immediately replied:

"I have arranged for 30,000 sect border troops to assist in defense."

"They... won't they defeat the Black Scale Army?"

".........." Li Qingyan.

She has no idea about this.

Xu Yuan was silent for a while, slowly exhaled, and asked in a low voice:

"How long until your highness's plan can be implemented?"

"Two quarters of an hour."

"..."

Xu Yuan frowned and thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the mahogany table. In a flash, he stood up and said:

"Do you have a communication crystal in your military camp?"

Li Qingyan's eyes were filled with surprise, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked:

"What, your prime minister's government still has a backup plan in Beifeng City?"

Xu Yuan grinned:

"Yes, but it's just for me to escape."

Li Qingyan snorted softly and shouted outside the tent:

"Qi Fengjie, come in and take my bodyguard to communicate with Yuan Jing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard outside the door immediately entered the barracks, saluted and said "yes".

Half an hour later,

When Xu Yuan came out of the secret room containing the communication crystal, he immediately saw Li Qingyan standing at the door.

She holds the knife and wears heavy armor:

"What did you do?"

Xu Yuan looked to the north and smiled slightly:
Chapter completed!
