Chapter 505: Re-study of Tactics
Winter has arrived, and the living conditions in the barbarian lands are becoming increasingly harsh. Moreover, they are not good at planting, and there are not many crops, so their daily survival is a problem.
Therefore, they urgently hoped to annex more Central Plains land through war after war and seize supplies that could help them survive the winter.
Even though they were counterattacked by the Xiacheng guards and even though they were defeated step by step, they were still extremely brave!
The Xiacheng defenders had suffered a series of defeats before, although it was not entirely their fault in essence, but because of insufficient reserve military supplies and delayed arrival of supplies from the court, which led to more sacrifices.
But there have been defeats and sacrifices before.
Countless soldiers died in the battle, including many generals.
Among the soldiers who are alive today, there are many colleagues of the generals who died in battle.
They desperately hoped that through battle after battle, they could completely drive the barbarians out, drive them into remote corners, and never again threaten their Central Plains!
At the same time, they also hope to avenge their dead colleagues.
Being too anxious makes everything seem urgent.
As a result, they fell into the enemy's trap, suffered a defeat, and many people died in the battle.
There were not many guards in Xiacheng to begin with. In the past half month, they had been in good momentum and making rapid progress, and their morale was boosted.
Suffering a defeat at this time would be a big blow to them.
When Sheng Jiu heard the news, he was reading Fairy Ling Shuang's reply.
I have to say, Fei Niao’s efficiency is really high!
She sent the spiritual spring water to Fairy Lingshuang and asked her to help verify whether this spiritual spring water would be of any benefit to their alchemy and weapon refining.
Fairy Lingshuang tried it herself very rigorously and also asked other people in the sect to conduct experiments as well.
Not only people of her level, but also some low-level alchemists and weapon refiners, after nearly a week of communication and experiments, they found that this small bottle of water was quite useful!
Moreover, so many big guys among them are unable to analyze the composition of this spring water.
They can analyze the main ingredients.
However, any more cannot be detected.
The news has not spread yet, and has only spread within the small circle of Fairy Lingshuang's sect. Everyone wants this kind of water very much!
It can make their alchemy and equipment refining smoother and even produce better results. Who wouldn’t want that!
This is not a shortcut, they just found more tricks!
Because the spiritual spring water is very useful, Fairy Lingshuang wrote to ask urgently how much the spring water costs?
As long as it's not too exaggerated, they are willing to ask for more!
Of course, when friends exchange messages with each other, after they have finished discussing important matters, they will also chat about family matters and send each other gifts.
When Sheng Jiu sent Ling Shuang the spiritual spring water, he also gave her some meat sauce, dried meat and the like.
Considering that the other party's cooking skills were almost non-existent, Sheng Jiu gave him ready-made dishes that were ready to eat as soon as the lid was opened.
In Fairy Lingshuang's reply, in addition to the letter, there was also a batch of rabbits with excellent meat and shiny fur.
The fresh rabbit was put into the Qiankun bag to keep it fresh. Fei Niao had not wasted too much time on the journey here. In addition, with the preservation technique cast by Fairy Ling Shuang, when he touched the rabbit now, he could still feel the warmth of its flesh and blood.
However, the birds cannot carry too many at a time, so the quantity is limited.
However, for Sheng Jiu, more than 600 rabbits are not a small number and are enough to sell for a while.
This year's New Year's Eve is at the end of January, and the New Year is just around the corner, so the store is not open for long hours.
If it wasn't the multi-dimensional folding, but just the Sheng Ji in reality, Sheng Jiu felt that these rabbits would never be sold out!
But it doesn't matter, she has multiple channels and there is no way she will waste the delicious ingredients.
Recently, rabbit meat has become popular!
Rabbit meat is high in protein and low in fat, a great tonic!
Fairy Lingshuang needed spiritual spring water. After Sheng Jiu negotiated the price with the system, he directly sent a batch to the other party.
After sending away the spiritual spring water, Sheng Jiu discussed with Prefect Liang the reasons for their defeat.
In fact, the reason is not complicated, it just damages morale.
The morale that had just been boosted was hit hard again.
The barbarians who had been somewhat hesitant before are now gaining momentum again.
Prefect Liang was very troubled.
He is a civil servant and is not good at fighting.
However, after serving as the prefect of Xiacheng for many years, he had actually honed some skills and could still understand simple battlefield situations.
However, complex ones won’t work.
Therefore, on a daily basis, he would be accompanied by the general of the Xiacheng Guard, Lord Lin.
Sheng Jiu didn't know much about these things. Most of the time, she was the one listening while Ares was making plans and giving orders.
Ares was neither satisfied nor happy about the defeat in this battle.
However, it was also within his expectations.
He had reminded him before, but Lord Lin listened but didn't listen completely.
The opponent's condition at that time had some problems, which was actually normal and Ares could understand it.
It’s just like when their relatives and friends died on the battlefield, they are eager to avenge them.
Although revenge cannot bring the other person back to life, it can at least provide psychological comfort.
Ares didn't remind them because he wanted them to understand.
Now, they are just stronger with the help of Sheng Jiu, but they are not invincible.
Moreover, arrogant soldiers will surely be defeated!
They had been holding the advantage in the counterattacks for half a month. It was normal for Lord Lin and his men to be a little proud and complacent without even realizing it.
This is not the first time Ares has commanded a battle like this.
In addition, the two parties are only in a cooperative relationship, and in actual operations, some other variables and flexible responses are inevitable.
Ares couldn't force the other party to do anything, and even if he did, the other party might not be willing to listen.
Therefore, it is good to hit the wall a little, so that these people who are crazy about killing can calm down a little.
Compared to the last time he left, Lord Lin was still full of energy and thought he was invincible, but this time he was much more humble.
Moreover, compared with the previous impetuousness, this time is more down-to-earth.
They started discussing tactics after dinner and continued until late at night.
Later, Sheng Jiu couldn't bear to accompany her anymore and went back to sleep.
Lin Duo was there with them.
After they had discussed it, Lin Duo first sent Lord Lin and Governor Liang back, and then sent Ares away.
Ares has always been envious of Lin Duo for being able to sleep on the second floor.
In fact, he also wanted to come, but if he really brought it up, he would seem shameless.
After being sent out by Lin Duo, Ares had a lot to say, but he didn't say the last word.
What does he have to say to Lin Duo?
Let’s see what to give the boss tomorrow morning.
