Chapter 188: Luo Feng receives orders to attack the city
Jiang Jinshi nodded, very much approving of Luo Feng's spirit: "Work hard! I believe in you!"
"Big Brother, how many troops should I take?" Luo Feng asked the question he cared about most at the moment.
Jiang Jinshi thought calmly for a while and said: "Take three thousand newcomers!"
"Yes!"
Luo Feng turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
But he didn't immediately summon the Middle Squad Leaders for a meeting; instead, he went to get a map, spread it flat on the table, and examined it carefully.
For Luo Feng, he had always regarded Menghuzhai as his home and spiritual sustenance, and he also hoped that Menghuzhai could continue to grow.
Even in the dead of night, he had thought of some treasonous scenarios, such as... Big Brother ascending the throne as Emperor!
This matter was actually very far away from the current Menghuzhai, but Luo Feng found it hard to stop thinking about it.
He knew who had caused his suffering, and naturally, he knew who had given him today's happiness, so if possible, he wanted to personally send Big Brother to that position.
Therefore, he wouldn't let go of any opportunity that could strengthen Menghuzhai, and this was a very good opportunity.
Regarding Jiang Jinshi's test, Luo Feng was full of fighting spirit and didn't have the slightest timidity. At this moment, he was thinking from Jiang Jinshi's perspective: if he were the Great Chief of Menghuzhai, which two cities would be better to take down?
Looking at the map, the three cities under Menghuzhai's command were now in a line, so the next cities to attack would definitely be around the surrounding ones.
Lin City was in the middle, while Jiangcheng was in the north. If they attacked north, it wouldn't be of much significance to the current Menghuzhai.
Luo Feng thought calmly; attacking north wouldn't bring much benefit to the current Menghuzhai, just two more cities.
Instead, attacking south would bring more benefits. Now that the Xinyue Chamber of Commerce's caravan had been established and set off, if they could take down the entire line to Guansong Ridge, the caravan would undoubtedly be smoother.
Luo Feng had heard Jiang Jinshi mention this point before, so Luo Feng was more inclined to attack south.
But a new problem was placed before Luo Feng. If they attacked south, after Qing City was Baiyan City, and past Baiyan City, it wasn't the territory of Guangwu Jun, but belonged to Shuo Fang Jun.
Overall, if they wanted to make Menghuzhai an iron bucket, it would definitely be better to develop within Guangwu Jun for the time being.
So after taking Baiyan City, if they continued west and took another city, then about one-third of Guangwu Jun would fall into Menghuzhai's hands.
Whether to attack south into Shuo Fang Jun or continue to develop within Guangwu Jun made Luo Feng think for a long time.
In the end, Luo Feng gritted his teeth and decided to continue developing within Guangwu Jun. He just didn't know if his decision was consistent with Big Brother's view; this was the only thing that made Luo Feng feel uneasy.
When he came back to his senses, it was already late, and he had been staring at the map for a long time without realizing it.
Without any intention of eating dinner, Luo Feng found paper and a pen and began to draw.
Big Brother Jiang asked him to take three thousand newcomers to attack the city, presumably with the same purpose as last time, mainly to train the newcomers.
Then some of the mistakes that appeared last time must not be repeated this time, reducing casualties as much as possible while also serving the purpose of training troops.
Then the equipment needed for attacking the city must be prepared in advance, and the strategic deployment as well.
Guangwu Jun had fifteen cities. Excluding Guangwu City, the core major city, there were three cities that were important transportation hubs, and their scale was much larger than cities like Jiangcheng.
Luo Feng tentatively regarded them as medium-sized cities. Such cities generally had about three thousand to five thousand garrison troops, while Guangwu City had over ten thousand.
Baiyan City was just a small city, the same as Jiangcheng and Qing City, but there were two cities to the west: one was the medium-sized city Panjiang City, and the other was the small city Jingjing City.
Jingjing City was in a relatively remote location, and taking it down wouldn't be of much use to Menghuzhai's development, so Luo Feng was more inclined to attack Panjiang City.
But with only three thousand newcomers, against three thousand to five thousand garrison troops, would they have a chance of winning?
Luo Feng thought for a long time without getting an answer, but he was one hundred percent unwilling to attack Jingjing City.
Helpless, he could only put this problem aside for now and think about how to deal with Baiyan City.
It wasn't until late at night that Luo Feng fell asleep, and at the same time, he had a rough idea about the city attack.
For some reason, although he hadn't read military books in the past, when he looked at the map and thought about the war, some unprecedented deployment methods would always pop up in his mind.
Luo Feng couldn't figure out this strange phenomenon and could only put it behind him for now.
Early the next morning, the high-spirited Luo Feng summoned the Middle Squad Leaders.
Now, the patrolling and guarding of the three cities were all arranged for the Small Squad Leaders below, and the Middle Squad Leaders only needed to train with their brothers every day.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Luo Feng spread out the map, cleared his throat, and said to everyone: "Yesterday, the Great Chief gave me a mission, requiring me to lead three thousand newcomers to attack two more cities. What are your thoughts?"
You must know that these three thousand newcomers weren't gathered together; each Middle Squad Leader had newcomers joining their ranks, so only six of the Middle Squad Leaders present could participate.
Wang Hou naturally wasn't included, as the nature of his team was different.
That meant there were three Middle Squad Leaders who couldn't participate and could only stay behind to guard the cities.
Realizing this problem, everyone scrambled to recommend themselves.
Zhang Honghong took the lead, slapped the table, and stood up: "My brothers and I will be the vanguard!"
Jiang Ze was also afraid of being left behind, quickly stood up, and raised his hand to signal: "Great Squad Leader, count me in!"
The others also scrambled to sign up; no one wanted to stay behind to guard the city.
Only Xiexiezi watched this scene numbly. What was wrong with these people? Why was everyone so full of drive?
Because he had climbed the city wall first, he had obtained the position of Small Squad Leader. A few days later, Jiang Jinshi gathered a group of people, saying it was Menghuzhai's divine power.
He knelt down like the others, thinking in his heart what kind of strange sacrificial ceremony this was.
The next moment, a force surged into his whole body, leaving him dumbfounded.
In the following period, he could feel his changes every day. The Zhanma Dao he had wielded for a long time suddenly had different understandings and moves.
Xiexiezi felt it was very magical and was immersed in it every day, unable to extricate himself, wanting to see what the upper limit of this divine power was!
Later, he received a notice to compete. Xiexiezi was very happy when he heard this. Closing the door to build a car every day definitely wouldn't work. It was just right to go and practice with other brothers in Menghuzhai to see what his level was. ===== CHAPTER 189 =====
