After gaining a morale-boosting skill with the Military Advisor, Liu Zhenming entered the territory system to check. In one month, he would be able to collect merit points from the territory system.
In the industrial system of the territory system, there is an additional cement factory that can be exchanged for various machines, with different sizes and different merit points required.
The cement factory is also a good thing, building materials, and it is also used a lot in the military, but it still has no effect on Liu Zhenming's current situation.
In the subject system:
Chinese Town: But the title has changed, from mayor to baron.
Population: 101,000.
Popular support coefficient: 0.8.
Quarterly average public sentiment coefficient: unknown.
Quarterly meritorious service income: unknown.
There is no doubt that there are already more than 100,000 people in Liu Zhenming's territory, because they include more than 80,000 Indians, more than 1,000 black people working for him, and nearly 20,000 Chinese.
The reason why the popularity coefficient is so high is because of the Indians. In the minds of the Indians, Liu Zhenming is their god.
However, Liu Zhenming has not publicized his relationship with the Indians for the time being. He will wait until the war is over before announcing it to the public.
The mayor became a baron? Damn, there is such a change. Liu Zhenming couldn't laugh or cry. He changed the language and found out that in the previous system, the English word "knight" was translated into mayor. This time the system adjusted
Came over.
Promoted from knight to baron? What is the use of this title?
Liu Zhenming looked at the instructions curiously and got a big surprise.
Because the light interface showed that the baron was actually able to confer two knights.
Yes, it is the canonization of knights. Knights have always been a symbol of loyalty and bravery, and in the systematic explanation, this behavior is taken to the greatest extent. Once someone is canonized by Liu Zhenming as his knight, then, the canonized
A knight will never betray Liu Zhenming throughout his life.
Of course, it is not easy for Liu Zhenming to successfully confer a knight. It does not mean that he can be conferred just because he wants to.
First, the candidate for canonization must be a captured enemy, which is very different from reality.
When the prisoner is "influenced" by Liu Zhenming and fears or worships Liu Zhenming to the extreme, the possibility of successful canonization will be greater.
Once the canonization is successful, Liu Zhenming will be able to bestow upon the knight a strategist skill.
In this way, Liu Zhenming was completely shocked. If he was given military master skills, wouldn't this mean that his knights would have the same magical power as himself? No wonder the conditions were so weird and he would not betray himself throughout his life.
This candidate must be chosen with caution. There are only two places. After the canonization is successful, they cannot be deprived of the opportunity to choose another one. Even if the knight dies in battle, the place will disappear. If a person with poor ability is chosen, in the end
Wouldn't it be a waste of quota?
Liu Zhenming thought of the captured Marine Corps commander Mohot, and then he couldn't help but shook his head. This Mohot's ability was not outstanding, and it would be a waste to canonize him as a knight.
As for whether he could succeed, Liu Zhenming didn't consider it at all. Because it is a bit difficult to make others admire him, but it is still easy to make others fear him.
Thinking about it this way, there is really no good candidate in hand at the moment. Liu Zhenming can only suppress the surprise in his heart for the time being. It is not that easy to capture a prisoner with outstanding abilities or special talents and canonize him as a knight.
There was no talk all night. The British army may have felt that there was no need for a night attack because their artillery superiority was there, so they spent the last night peacefully.
In the early morning, Weir sent someone to send a message, stating that he would defend for two more days and start retreating tomorrow night. Liu Zhenming did not have much doubt about this...
What surprised Liu Zhenming a little was that apparently the British troops attacking his position had changed their troops, and Liu Zhenming discovered that the other side was adding cannons, and the added cannons seemed to be targeting his own position.
Liu Zhenming knew that he had acted out yesterday, which was why he had attracted so much hatred from the British.
The British also discovered the relationship between the trenches on the Chinese position. This time, they not only bombarded the first trench, but also the second trench and even the third trench.
All of a sudden, the roaring sound of cannons was heard endlessly, and the snow that had fallen all night was immediately blown away, and the soil revealed its original appearance.
"Cannon, cannon!" Liu Zhenming is now very depressed about this thing. Anyone who is not hit by falling gravel will not feel much better.
Liu Zhenming would not have dared to fight a positional battle against the British if it had not been for the trench system that was beyond this era. Even so, his defensive position could not withstand such a fierce artillery attack for too long.
The best option is to lure the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, allow the British artillery to distance themselves from the infantry, and then wait for an opportunity to eat his artillery or eliminate a section of his infantry.
After the British artillery fire stopped, Liu Zhenming's ears were still buzzing and he could not hear other sounds. However, many anti-gunfire holes had begun to collapse, and some soldiers were accidentally buried alive in them.
There were casualties before the battle started, and a shadow appeared in Liu Zhenming's mind.
However, the British army's subsequent attack took him by surprise. Perhaps because there were too many people here yesterday, so although Douglas bombarded the Chinese positions to vent his hatred, for the sake of the overall situation, he put the main attack direction
In the Fenian position.
Within the Fenian command headquarters, Weir began to be on tenterhooks since the exchange of fire.
"Segal's position needs support? Tell him that there is no support, but he must defend his position!"
From time to time, various calls for help would be heard in the headquarters. Weir had not prepared any reserve troops. He had already put all the troops in his hands into the battle line.
Weir was so worried that he now regretted not learning from the Chinese positions and digging three trenches. The number of soldiers injured by artillery shells accounted for one-half of the injured soldiers.
As long as he is injured, he loses his combat effectiveness and is sent to the rescue site in the rear, which greatly reduces the number of soldiers in his hands.
"It's getting dark, it's getting dark!" Weir kept praying that time would pass faster. Every attack by the British was a torment for him.
Until dark, the Fenian position was almost broken. If Liu Zhenming hadn't sent 200 reinforcements in time and the British had no intention of continuing to attack, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Sean, go meet with Weir and tell him that I suggest retreating tonight." Liu Zhenming saw the performance of the Fenians during the day. He did not think that the opponent's army could hold on for another day, so after a while
When the British army stopped attacking, Liu Zhenming thought of retreating.
"Liu, can't we hold on for another day?" Sean is an amateur in the military.
"That's right, hurry up and get there. If we retreat tonight, we still have a lot of things to prepare." Under Liu Zhenming's urging, Sean also became anxious.
When Sean arrived at the Fenian headquarters, things were already being packed there. When everyone saw Sean, a trace of embarrassment flashed across their faces. After all, Sean had been abandoned by everyone and became an outcast.
But, what is he doing here tonight?
"General, Liu suggests that we retreat tonight!" Sean didn't wait for anyone to ask, and went straight to the point and spoke out his suggestion of retreat.
"Retreat!" All the Fenians had doubts in their eyes. Could it be that the Chinese Liu had already seen something?
Will stabilized his mood and said calmly: "Sean, why did the Chinese Liu say that?"
"Because he thinks we won't be able to hold on tomorrow." Sean's blunt words made everyone feel embarrassed and even more annoyed.
Hillel replied in a deep voice: "Sean, go and tell the Chinese that we will definitely hold on tomorrow, and we will let him see what the pride of the Irish is."
"General, are we not going to retreat?" Sean hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I think Liu's words are very reasonable, and he has more commanding skills than most people. I think we should listen to him.
opinions.”
"Absurd!" Weir said in a cold voice with a frosty face: "Sean, I am the commander, not the Chinese. I know when to retreat. If the Chinese doesn't have the courage, he can escape first."
"Okay! General, I will go back and tell him your exact words." Sean shook his head helplessly.
