The defeat of the City Guards in Longquan brought heavy blows to the central government of the Empire. The ministers, including Lu Wenfu, did not expect that the two legions would deal with the Longquan Mansion guarding the two divisions, would actually cause a loss of troops. Even the City Guards, which claimed to be the elite of the Empire, were raided by the opponent's rangers, and the performance of the Third Legion was simply unbearable. There was still a need for such an imperial army to exist. It turned out that it was still fighting.

If the Eighth Legion cooperated with the Imperial Guard to launch an attack on Jinzhong, no one dared to mention this anymore. The combat effectiveness of these newly built and rebuilt imperial legions was beyond imagination. The Imperial Minister of Internal Affairs Sidon directly proposed to disband the Third, Eighth and Ninth Legion. There was no need to spend huge amounts of military funds on these garbage troops. However, the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs Jilin asked, "Whether these garbage troops are not used to defend against the threat of the Southern Western Army?"

Situ Yushuang also felt a dilemma. The combat effectiveness of the three newly formed legions was probably similar. It was completely unrealistic to rely on them. At this time, Yusufu's request was also sent to the central government of the empire, which made Situ Yushuang feel relieved. Situ Tai also clearly expressed his willingness to put the First Division of the First Legion stationed in the imperial capital into the battle against Jinzhong, which made Situ Yushuang feel that he was very sure of taking over the western portal of Jinzhong, the imperial capital, which suddenly became much more confident.

However, Ma Yuan reminded the threat from the south and made Situ Yushuang's heart hang up. Jiangnan was filled with the sound of changing flags. Li Wufeng's dominance in the south was inevitable. Situ Biao is now a clay bodhisattva and cannot protect himself. He lives in the three palaces and survives. However, in this case, he should seize the time to take over Jinzhong to ensure that there is no danger in the west so that he can free up his hands to deal with the threat from the south. This is also a helpless move by Situ Yushuang racking his brains. At present, there is no energy to take care of anything else. Situ Yushuang also understands that the war that truly determines the fate of the Situ dynasty is actually a battle situation in the Yunzhong. If the Yunzhong can overcome Yunzhong, then it can still be done. If the Yunzhong situation fails, even a tough person like Situ Yushuang cannot avoid the reality of failure. Before the Yunzhong battle decides the victory or defeat, being able to control Jinzhong can be considered as winning a chance to breathe for the Situ dynasty.

Chu Taifeng had already realized the severity of the war. The news of the defeat of the Nanmeng City Guards under Longquan Mansion had been spread. Chu Taifeng did not intend to let his subordinates know this news. It would be a mess to let them understand these situations at this critical moment. The self-righteous guys in the City Guards thought they were so-called direct legion of the Central Empire, so they could be arrogant. You should know that now it is a face-to-face life-and-death battle, a gambling that uses blood and life to bet, and it is not just a practice and training to achieve the goal. Chu Taifeng has never looked down on those arrogant guys who stayed in the imperial capital all day long. Now the cruel reality has taught Yousufu a lesson, making him understand that the current situation is very different from the past. The Western Army is not a weak brigade, and Li Wufeng's army is a truly cruel and cruel hungry wolf.

Today's progress in the battle situation did not satisfy Chu Taifeng. Although he was mentally prepared for the tenacity of Western Xinjiang, he still did not expect that Western Xinjiang's resolute resistance would have brought such great losses to his army. It should be said that the Duoduans and the Puer people have basically fulfilled their allies' duties, but their poor siege methods are obviously not very suitable for the response strategies that need to be adopted urgently.

A batch of new rushing cars and siege towers were sent to the camp again. The logistics department's preparations for this battle were the most complete in the history of the Northern Army. All kinds of supplies were sufficient, that was, to ensure that the battle was over and pull out the nail of Yunzhongfu before the Western Frontier Rangers who had already rushed to speed.

The negotiations with the Puer army also went quite smoothly. Perhaps the Puer people also noticed that they had defects in siege. They agreed to send three elite infantry teams under the command of Chu Taifeng, and they would continue to launch an offensive in the west. The Duodu people also accepted some suggestions from Chu Taifeng. They would appropriately adjust their attack methods to make their attack strategies more threatening and lethal.

Chu Taifeng did not expect to win a complete victory on the first day. If that was true, it would insult the combat effectiveness of the Western Army and also insult Li Wufeng's wisdom. Kamapov was not Yi and his fellow. His performance today has proved his ability, but this cannot change his destiny. Chu Taifeng firmly believes in this. The key is that in the next three days, Chu Taifeng hopes that in three days, he can completely destroy the defense of the Western Army and win the city completely. He also has this confidence.

At the same time, Kamapov was also inspecting the preparations of the four gates city walls. The east gate was still the focus of defense. The First Legion is worthy of being the First Legion. He fought on the first day and had to join the reserve team. This made Kamapov admire and was also a little worried. Chu Taifeng's style is wild and fierce, especially the previous few axes. Kamapov can proudly say that if it were other legions, there might be a crisis in the first day of the enemy's offensive, but the Fifth Legion stubbornly blocked the enemy's fearless charge, and caused huge damage to the enemy.

Kamapov has a lot of experience in the rational arrangement and use of the sniper team, especially in defensive operations, how to maximize the function of the sniper team. This is also a set of methods that Kamapov has been contemplating and gradually improving in the past two years. It should be said that Kamapov has established a corner tower to allow the crossbowmen and shooters in the sniper team to rely on the corner tower to form a fan to control a large sniper surface. The Northern Army has paid a very heavy price in this regard.

According to statistics from the staff department, during this day, at least more than 60 officers with more than 60 officers of the Northern Army captains and more than snipers were killed by sniper teams with arrows and guns in the battle. The killing team also killed at least more than 30 officers with more than 30 officers with more than squadrons of the Northern Army, which accounted for at least more than 60% of the total number of officers of the Northern Army. The death of officers not only greatly affected the Northern Army in terms of morale, but also effectively destroyed the attack command effectiveness of the Northern Army's frontline.

However, the strong fighting spirit of the Northern Army was indeed somewhat beyond Kamapov's expectations. The successive impacts were almost no gap. Often, a wave of attacks had not yet ended, and the second wave of attacks had swept over. The Northern Army's full preparations, especially the sufficient and perfection of siege equipment, exceeded Kamapov's expectations. The number of two large siege equipment, such as the rushing car and the mobile arrow tower, was a bit incredible. Kamapov did not expect that the Northern Army would be willing to spend such a large price to build so many rushing car and mobile arrow tower, especially the rushing car. This kind of goods was consumed huge amounts. Moreover, the Northern Army also improved the movement conditions of this equipment, increased the speed and shock absorption. The Northern Army could invest dozens of vehicles at one time to participate in the battle, which put great pressure on the city defense and was also the main reason why Kamapov had to use the reserve team in advance.

The fire dragon cannon and giant catapults were obviously not ready to attack these siege equipment with all their might. At the end of the day's battle, most of the dozens of city rushers were able to launch an offensive, which made Kamapov very angry. For this reason, the corps captain of the Engineering Corps was dismissed.

The Northern Army also made quite sufficient preparations for long-range strike weapons. More than 30% of the squatters and scepters on the walls of Yunzhong Mansion have been damaged. The people and engineers in the Yunzhong Mansion had to use night time to repair them overnight. The damaged catapult carts and crossbows are also trying to repair and replace them. The maintenance and repair of the fire dragon cannon is the top priority, and they will play a more important role in the subsequent wars.

In view of the severe situation, Kamapov had to send the commandos organized by the civilians in the Yunzhong to the front line. Although it was not time to rely on them to save the situation, it was very necessary to let them adapt to the fierce atmosphere on the battlefield first. However, the high fighting spirit of these civilian commandos made Kamapov quite pleased. Although most of these people from the gangs of the Jianghu sects have never participated in real wars, most of them have had a life of licking blood from the sword. They are not too unfamiliar with this bloody massacre. I believe that as long as they are given some time and opportunity to adapt, they can become a good helper to their own army.

The burning torches on the top of the city shone hundreds of meters below the city like daytime. The effect of triangular nails is quite obvious. Kamapov is worried that the Northern Army will find ways to reduce the threat of this new weapon, but there seems to be no good way to deal with this kind of small thing. Perhaps covering the soil or putting on wooden boards can reduce the damage to the soldiers' feet. Or there is only one who has to add iron sheets to the soles of the soldiers' boots, but where can we find so many suitable iron sheets in a hurry? The only way is to use the help of night to cover the soil. After all, this weapon with a not too long thorn only needs to be covered with a thick layer of soil to make it lose a considerable amount of power. The area of ​​the range that needs to be passed on to launch an offensive from the front is not very large, and it is not too difficult to achieve this goal.
