After Jiang Ning confirmed that there were no problems with the sketches he drew, he ordered Wang An to lead the production and supervision department's skilled workers to Changjiao Mountain.
Wang An received the emperor's order and did not dare to delay, so he reached Changjiao Mountain as quickly as possible.
Naturally, he did not expect that Emperor Wu had led his army into Dongwu territory.
Suppressing the shock in my heart, I came to see Emperor Wu.
"See Your Majesty..."
After Wang An saw Jiang Ning, he knelt down and paid homage.
Jiang Ning waved his hand casually, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang An stood up.
Jiang Ning did not hesitate and went straight to the point, "Look at the sketch on the table. If you can make it, then give me a message!"
Hearing the sound, Wang An was also stunned and did not dare to show any slightness.
He picked up the sketch on the table with both hands and looked at it carefully.
Time passes minute by minute...
Wang An's face also experienced a lot of changes, like riding a roller coaster.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what is this?"
The sketch in his hand was beyond his understanding.
Jiang Ning said: "You should now understand the ladder that can be used to attack the city!"
With this explanation, Wang An understood instantly and nodded knowingly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know whether to say something or not..."
"It's okay to just say it!" Jiang Ning didn't care.
Wang An continued: "To build this big thing, it will take at least a hundred years of giant wood. There are very few trees like this in the Wu Dynasty!"
"Where is it?" Jiang Ning asked.
Wang An replied: "Dongwu, there is a virgin forest near Yangcheng, and there should be the materials we want!"
Soon, Jiang Ning's eyes fell on the map of Yangcheng, which was still some distance away from Changjiao Mountain.
There are four cities in between. It is not an easy task to win them in a short time.
"Looking at the current situation, if we can't capture these four cities in a short time, how about using other wood instead?" Jiang Ning said.
"Yes...Your Majesty!"
Wang An naturally did not dare to disobey the emperor's order.
Immediately, the skilled craftsmen from the production and supervision department began the construction task.
Those who dare to build here naturally regard the land west of Changjiao Mountain as their own territory.
…
Three days later, Wu Meng led an army of 100,000 to gather at Hucheng near Changjiao Mountain.
The main camp was set up in Hucheng, and scouts were spread widely to gather information.
Soon, all kinds of information sounded in the Chinese military camp.
"The Wu Chao Army has controlled the Changjiao Mountain area, and the only passage is also controlled by them!"
"Also, there are many people in the camp cutting down trees, as if they are going to make something!"
"etc……"
When Wu Meng heard the news, he was a little surprised to be honest. The Wu Dynasty army was stationed in Changjiao Mountain. They didn't want to attack, but they were doing useless things. What was the point?
"Everyone, what do you think?"
The rough-faced deputy marshal Xu Da answered: "Whatever the point, just start a war and use force to crush everything!"
"Deputy Marshal Xu said that!"
"I agree too!"
Wu Meng frowned, thoughtfully, "What everyone said makes sense, but we still need to find out who our opponent is!"
"yes……"
In this way, the two armies formed a wait-and-see situation.
There is a plain between Changjiao Mountain and Hucheng. If a war breaks out, this place will definitely be the battlefield.
Wu Meng is worthy of being a veteran, he can keep his composure and does not rush forward in a hurry.
…
Changjiaoshan and Jiangning did not take the initiative to start a war and ordered the army to rest and recuperate.
Just like that, half a month passed quickly.
The two armies are still in a state of confrontation, but surprisingly, neither of them has sent a single soldier.
This made Jiang Ning deeply surprised. He had led his army into Tobu territory, but there was no response from the other party.
This... is puzzling!
Of course, the Dongwu Army did not send troops, and I would not act in a hurry.
It won't be too late to take action after the army returns to its full strength.
The ladder truck is still under construction in full swing.
…
Tiger City.
Wu Meng climbed up the tower and looked towards Changjiao Mountain. After a while, he said, "How long has the confrontation been going on?"
"Nearly a month!" Xu Da responded.
"One month, that's a long time. I didn't expect the generals leading the Wu Dynasty army to be so calm!" Wu Meng looked calm and said, "I want to see how long the Wu Dynasty army can hold on!"
Xu Dadao: "The distance between Changjiao Mountain and Nanming City is not far away. I'm afraid they have opened up the grain road. If so, there will be a stalemate!"
"It's so good, it doesn't cost a single soldier!"
Wu Meng had such a wishful thinking.
Xu Dadao: "What you said makes sense, but have you ever thought that the general on the opposite side wiped out 100,000 people from Zhang Kui's tribe? He should not be an ordinary general. You should not be careless!"
Wu Meng nodded and responded: "What I'm talking about is...check, you must find out the information about the general on the opposite side for me!"
"Yes...and I suggest sending troops!" Xu Da thought thoughtfully.
Wu Meng did not refuse, nor did he agree immediately.
Xu Da continued: "Old Marshal, as time goes by, other changes may occur!"
"Tobu and Wu Dynasty were once one and the same, and a large number of people were still related by blood. Now that Wu Dynasty is making a comeback, we must not give them a chance!"
Finally, Wu Meng was persuaded and waved his hand, "Send troops!"
Xu Da smiled happily and said sonorously: "Don't worry, I will definitely drive the Wu Dynasty army out of the Dongwu territory!"
Wu Meng didn't say much. He put his hands behind his back and looked deeply into the distance.
As deputy marshal, Xu Da immediately ordered more than a dozen young generals and led an army of fifty thousand to the Changjiao Mountain.
The scouts of the Wu Chao Army were always paying attention to the movements of Hucheng.
The moment they dispatched troops, the scouts who dispersed sent out the latest information to Wu Hemo.
Upon learning that Dongwu was sending troops, Wu Hemo gathered the three armies as quickly as possible.
and informed Jiangning.
Now that Dongwu has sent troops, what they have to do is to take over and order Wu Hemo to also send troops.
In this way, the two armies quickly formed an array on the plain between Changjiao Mountain and Hucheng.
The armies on both sides were all covered in darkness, with flags fluttering, flying in the wind, and making hunting noises...
Xu Dachong glanced at the young general next to him.
The young general immediately understood what he meant and rushed out on his horse.
"Get out of Tobu territory immediately, or you will be killed without mercy!"
The bearded dragon is holding a black spear, pointing angrily at Wu Hemo.
Wu Hemo snorted coldly, "Fifty years ago, this land under your feet belonged to the Wu Dynasty. Now that its owner is back, why don't you welcome him openly and honestly?"
"Put down your weapons and wait for a way out!"
"Noisy..." the young general shouted angrily, and rode towards Wu Hemo.
The deputy general next to him saw him and rushed forward with a long-handled sword.
In an instant, the spear and the sword collided.
There was a fierce collision, and the two men's jaws trembled in pain. At the same time, they pulled the weapons in their hands horizontally...
