After Mu Qianyu arrived at Jiangbei Prefecture, he began to deploy defensive forces. Jiangbei Prefecture was a large state with a total of twenty-six cities, three of which were adjacent to Hanzhou.
These three cities lie across the north and south, with Daya Mountain to the south and Xuan Beast Forest to the north, so these three cities are the first line of defense against the Hanzhou army.
The largest and most central city among the three cities is called Yulang City. It was the city where Wu Anbang resisted the Daxia army last time and was defeated by the strong opponent.
To the left of Yulang City is Fenglin City and to the right is Baiyu City. The three cities are connected together by city walls, forming a long line of defense.
Compared with the narrow pass of Daya Pass, this line of defense is too long and there are too many places to break through. Once a position is lost, it will be difficult to organize a new line of defense.
"I'm here to guard Yulang City. I'll trouble Brother Sikong to go to Fenglin City. General Yuan will be stationed at Baiyu City."
In the commander's tent in Yulang City, Mu Qianyu looked around at the generals. Among them were three brothers, Sikong Yu, General Yuan Peng, Deputy Governor Zhou Bin and some deputy generals.
Behind her stood Xiaoruo and Mo Feng. Next to her, Nannan was sitting at the small table eating the specialty fruits here with gusto.
Everyone except her looked solemn. The latest news was that the first batch of troops rushing to the front line numbered 1.5 million people.
If we add in the rear supply troops of at least 1.8 million people, this is only the attack on the three cities of Jiangbei Prefecture. The coalition also supported an additional 600,000 troops wearing the best armor and carrying the latest crossbows and catapults.
Go to Daya Pass,
It can be seen that the coalition forces are serious about these two breakthroughs, that is, they have only one force to fight on two fronts, and the amount of troops and financial resources they have to spend is unimaginable.
When Mu Qianyu is integrated, there are less than 600,000 veterans and recruits, Dayaguan has 150,000, Mu Qianyu's three cities have only 450,000, and more than half are recruits.
There are only 150,000 people in each city. It is extremely difficult to face the opponent's tidal offensive.
After Mu Qianyu finished speaking, the two of them responded in unison.
"We never saw so many troops when Daxia attacked before." Mo Feng spoke from behind her, his voice full of doubts.
"Actually, most of them are spent on the battlefield on the side of the imperial city, and after all parties become independent, they will inevitably recruit troops. Daxuan has a large population, and they will be able to recruit new troops very quickly." Yuan Peng answered.
Mo Feng looked very disdainful when he heard this: "During the foreign war, everyone was a coward and asked us to go out to fight against Daxia. Now the civil war has brought us more energy."
Yuan Peng and the generals nodded and couldn't agree more.
"Okay, generals, go and deploy your troops according to my city defense plan. There must be no mistakes. The safety of the people in Jiangbei and the three states behind depends on you."
"Yes, I will definitely live up to you and the people." After hearing this, everyone said in unison, and they were full of momentum for a while.
Mu Qianyu nodded.
When the soldiers walked out, she sat expressionlessly at the end of the long table. On the table in front of her was a map of the Daxuan Dynasty.
The enemy is numerous and we are few, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and she is a battlefield novice. If she had not been forced to do so, how would she have the courage to command such a large war.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?" Mo Feng bowed and asked. He could also see Mu Qianyu's anxiety at this moment. This was the first time he had seen this kind of emotion in Mu Qianyu.
"It's nothing, just go down and report back if you have anything."
"yes."
When Mo Feng went down, Mu Qianyu lay directly on the table, murmuring: "Is it really reliable to leave such a big matter to me?"
Xiaoruo and Nannan were eating fruit next to each other at first, but when they saw that the atmosphere was not right, they looked at each other and instantly reached a consensus. Now it was time to persuade them.
"Mom, you can definitely do it. If there is anything Xiaobao can do, Xiaobao is willing to help mom." Nannan said very sensibly.
Xiaoruo also said: "Yes, sister, they are strong, and we are not vegetarians either."
"You must not be vegetarian." Mu Qianyu joked while lying on the table, his smile a little bitter.
It's not that she is timid, it's that she has never taken on such a big thing. In her previous life, she only led a mercenary team of a few dozen people. Now that the number suddenly increased to hundreds of thousands, she was still a little unsure whether she could handle it.
Fortunately, Beichen Ye had drawn a city defense map for her in advance, including how many troops and horses to place where, and how many mobile troops to leave for rescue everywhere. As long as she followed them, she wouldn't make any big mistakes.
The people and soldiers in the four states of Jiangning were as unsure as she was, because the other side was so terrifying that almost the entire country's military and financial resources were mobilized to attack them.
And with their military strength and strength, it is even impossible to defeat the opponent. It seems that being captured will be the final fate.
Other forces and people think the same way. They don't understand Mu Qianyu's strength and trump card even more, and they also feel that Jiangbei Prefecture's defense line of hundreds of thousands of people is just a layer of paper, which can be broken with a light poke.
The reason why they sent so many troops is to obtain the maximum benefits after the invasion. After all, military strength is the final say. Although the military strength here is weak, it is a center of business gathering and is extremely fat.
The army's march was not fast. It took half a month to enter Hanzhou. It still took some time to reach the east from the south of Hanzhou.
The largest and most orthodox force among the coalition forces is Prince Li Xiao Quan. This prince was once a fiefdom prince and the younger brother of the late emperor.
After the death of the emperor, King Li was the first to march into the imperial city, occupied the imperial city, and stationed himself in the palace, in an attempt to command the world.
However, King Li had been far away from the center of power for too long. He did not have strong appeal and dominance, nor did he obtain the imperial seal or the Emperor's Sword.
He was sure that these things must be on the prince Xiao Qi's body, so he sent strong men to chase him all the way. Fortunately, Ji Lin was not weak, and even with serious injuries, he brought the prince to Jiangning Prefecture.
Li Wang Xiao Quan was extremely angry about this. The person was missing near Jiangning Prefecture, so he strongly suspected that the person was in the hands of Mu Qianyu, and sent many waves of spies to Jiangning Prefecture City to investigate.
But for some reason, there seemed to be an invisible force in the city that kept his spies at bay. His people were killed and injured.
Now let alone the traces of the prince, even Mu Qianyu's itinerary and the people around him have not been found out, or they were found out but intercepted without a chance to be reported.
He didn't know what the dark power was. He only felt that it was an invisible net being controlled by invisible hands, which made him feel more and more that Mu Qianyu was a threat.
Even without Donglin Academy's alliance this time, he would have prevented a coalition from attacking Mu Qianyu, who he considered to be the most powerful opponent in this competition.
