I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

After Mu Chen said these words, everyone around the conference table obviously looked hesitant.But after a moment of silence, Xiang Liang still spoke slowly:

"Yes."

·

After the basic policy is determined, the remaining things will be much easier to handle. Xiang Liang re-drafted a plan and presented it to Mu Chen, and clearly pointed out in the draft: Considering the rapid expansion of the war scale after the target change, relying solely on long-range guidance Weapons are no longer able to deal with it, and it is necessary to mobilize all the firepower that the current crossing group has, and even consider direct short-range combat.

"That is to say," Mu Chen raised his head and asked, "We must dispatch troops to fight at close quarters?"

Xiang Liang nodded: "Not bad."

— This is indeed a great change.Since the time travel, the advisory group has fought for several months. Except for the first time to deal with Hou Rong's rebellious army, the rest are super-long-distance violence. It is not so much a battle as a risk-free realistic strategy game.But now the situation is completely different—the battlefield is a vital place, no matter how disparate the strength is, the actual contact will have unexpected changes.Therefore, Xiang Liang thought over and over in the document and drafted a plan with tens of thousands of words.

Of course, such a professional plan is not something Mu Chen can talk about. He flipped through the dozens of pages of the booklet from the beginning to the end, and finally found something that needed to be reviewed by himself: the list of personnel who participated in the battle.

The rapid evolution of the war mission this time can be said to have completely hit the weakness of the traversing team: with the support of the country's thigh, the firepower and weapons are already sufficient to the point of excess; however, subject to system rules, the number of traversing people is still limited to a small number The sad 51 people.Long-range bombing can still rely on computer assistance, but short-range combat must be controlled manually on the battlefield.It can be said that the biggest difficulty in this war is not the limitation of firepower weapons, but that there are too few people who control firepower!

However, the total number of only 51 people must be allocated both on the battlefield and internal affairs of Jiangling.

Mu Chen carefully examined the list. The fifty people in the time-traveling team all have a very clear and rigorous division of labor, except for...

"What about me?" He blurted out: "Why is my duty 'sitting in the rear and taking care of the overall situation'? What kind of overall situation is in charge?"

Xiang Liang said: "During the war, there may be some fluctuations in Jiangling, and you need to make an emergency judgment."

Mu Chen let out a laugh, almost amused.

"I decide? What do I decide?" He pointed to his nose, "I don't understand internal affairs or economics. To put it bluntly, I'm just a cosplayer in Jiangling City—what is it called in Dr. Wang's words?" That? Oh——'provide a legal basis for power'. Of course, this is normal on weekdays, but now there is going to be a war, what's the point of me cosplaying in the city? Is it a waste of manpower?"

On weekdays, everyone respects and respects, and Mu Chen has always been aware of his rookie nature.Of course he knows that the situation in the city is more complicated when the war is about to start, but the more complicated it is, the less likely a rookie like himself will be of any use, and it may even slow down the efficiency of the left-behind consultants... Mu Chen thought for a moment, looked down at the list, and finally asked a question :

"I see that Dr. Wang Zhiwang and Advisor Liu Heng are on the list of going out to fight, so...can non-military personnel also participate? Does it not require special training?"

Xiang Liang opened his mouth, but didn't answer immediately. ——If you want to tell the truth, there are really no special training requirements for this battle: Liu Heng is fine, Dr. Wang's physical strength is at most the normal level of a young and middle-aged man.This mission is a short, flat, heavy fire bombing, and does not require any military skills... But Mu Chen asked specifically, obviously referring to something else.

Xiang Liang thought for a moment before finally replying in a low voice: "Because it is a battle spanning hundreds of kilometers, there must be historical and geographical reference, so I chose two consultants."

These two are selected based on their specialties, so you don't have to think about picking them yourself.

But Mu Chen just pondered for a while, and soon laughed again.

"Of course I don't have the skills of the two consultants, but I have some specialties." He raised a finger: "First, I don't know how to do tactical moves, but aiming and positioning plus firing, a three-piece suit is always easy to grasp .No one can say for sure what will happen on the battlefield. If manpower is tight, I can fire a cannon and pull a rocket \\ barrel, it will not be a problem, right?"

——It’s really not a problem.Considering the particularity of the combatants, North Industries made minimal modifications to all the weapons they shipped. It is said that they summed up their experience when exporting weapons to black Africa, claiming that as long as they can read and write, they can use them without hindrance.There is no problem for Mu Chen to use it.But Xiang Liang remained silent, clearly not convinced.

Mu Chen raised a second finger:

"Second, I have my stuff too, and it must be useful—have you forgotten the privileges of the system?"

Xiang Liang's expression finally fluctuated: On the first day Mu Chen met them, he had explained the benefits of this system - in order to reduce the risk of attacking, the system provided an instant mobile service in an emergency, and the host and the host could be transferred together. Marked objects are quickly moved to safety.

Of course, the cost of using such benefits is also extremely high... After a transfer, all the points of the host, and even the progress of all current tasks will be cleared.

Xiang Liang couldn't be silent anymore, he sighed.

"...Mr. Mu, you don't have to do this." He said sincerely: "Our arrangement has no other purpose, and it is definitely not giving any special privileges... With our strength, there will be no one on the battlefield. What a risk. But war is war, and you—with all due respect—are not used to war."

This sentence was very sincere, so Mu Chen thought about it for a moment before solemnly speaking.

"I fully understand everyone's kindness, and thank you for your kindness." He said: "Of course I don't understand war, and I'm certainly not used to war. But I know that war must be cruel, so cruel that I probably have psychological shadows when I see it. Everyone wanted me to stay, and it was really for my own good. But... But after all, I ordered this war to be launched, and so much blood was shed for me after all. If the initiator is not willing to face even the slightest bit of cruelty Yes, isn't that too hypocritical?"

Xiang Liang was taken aback for a moment, and finally straightened his body:

"As ordered."

·

By early April, the combat plan and combat list had been fully finalized. The 51 traversers were divided into two halves, 23 were stationed in Jiangling to guard the rear, and the remaining 28 went straight to the Jingzhou Ferry, preparing to meet with the North Crossing Army on the Yangtze River and face it head-on.

This is the first division of the cross-travel team, so the plan is cautious and there are countless issues to consider.In addition to the repeated disputes over the number of traversers, there is also a lot of discussion on the distribution of local manpower.The originally finalized plan was only for the combat troops to set off with a small number of militiamen to facilitate temporary cover and earthworks, but the plan was about to be drafted, and Xiang Liang tried his best to add the names of Yi Cheng and Gao Duo to the departure list.

The former was brought because Yi Cheng’s prudence and loyalty gradually earned him trust, and Xiang Liang planned to teach by precept and example, and cultivated a little; the latter was basically for the sake of stability in the city——Hou Rong’s rebellious army and soldiers from the North were all from howitzers before. He escaped with the drone and his subordinates by chance, but now they are completely discouraged; only the group of Northern Dynasty nobles represented by the male protagonist are not dead, and they still look strange.

——This group of people has never seen the sky and flames of drones, and now they feel that they are unwilling to be poisoned and murdered, and relying on the support of the Northern Army on the other side, they have always acted secretly and are quite restless.Now that the main force of the traversers is coming out, it is natural that such a disaster cannot be left in the city.

On April [-]th, the crossing team set off in Jiangling, officially kicking off the war.

·

Due to the limitation of helicopter capacity, this time the battle had to be divided into two groups.Xiang Liang took Yi Cheng and dozens of militiamen, tied the male protagonist with five flowers and black cloth blindfolded, and rode a fast horse for a light boat.And Mu Chen and others then set off by helicopter, arrived at the destination with supplies, and built fortifications in advance.

On April 15, Xiang Liang finally arrived at the North Shore.

The preset position is on a not low hillside.The mountain road was too rough to ride a horse, so Xiang Liang signaled everyone to get off their horses and walk, and he also untied the male lead's rope by the way.

But just as the rope came loose, Gao Duo turned over from his horse, and after looking around for a while, a strange smile appeared on his pale face.

"Xiang Shijun."

Although it was ups and downs day and night, but after all, it was the appearance of the male protagonist hand-picked by the system, and there was still a certain mysterious beauty when he showed his face and smiled, as if the whole face became lively and clear.He stared at the bright, secret joy in his ink-like eyes: "You..."

Before you came up with anything famous, he raised his eyes and saw Mu Chen's figure on the hillside.

Gao Duo's smile disappeared instantly.

But when he climbed to the top of the mountain, Gao Duo took a casual look, and a smile appeared on his face immediately, more enthusiastically and brilliantly, almost to the point of losing the etiquette of the aristocratic family.

——Xiang Liang and the others finalized this hillside as the preset position, naturally after careful planning.The Northern Army mobilized civilian ships and went straight to Jingzhou, and the pier where the main force crossed the river was just a few kilometers away from this hillside.Now it is clear at a glance when you climb up the height, and you can immediately see that the riverside is lined up neatly, and there are countless northern army formations.

There are [-] people without boundaries, and if you glance from the hillside, you can only see that the army is in full swing, the scales and weapons are shining brightly, and the huge square formation of tens of thousands of people is well-organized, like a silent black torrent.

Mu Chen couldn't help but blurted out admiration: "What a great momentum!"

Of course, Mu Chen's level was only limited to watching the excitement, but Xiang Liang saw the way at a glance.

"The arrangement is very lawful." He commented: "The cavalry on the outside, the tanks in the middle, and the infantry on the inside are typical formations to guard against shocks. When crossing the river, they can think so carefully. The general of the Northern Army is not low."

Standing behind the two of them, Gao Duo suddenly smiled softly.

"Since Your Majesty knows our army's strength, it's hard to judge whether it's strong or weak. Now that you know the fate and the current affairs, it's not too late to surrender!"

Speaking of this, Gao Duo's smile deepened, and he stared at Mu Chen almost confidently.

——Of course, he should have nothing to fear.The moment he climbed the hillside and saw the army formation, Gao Duo fully guessed the intention of King Hengyang—these people took themselves to the north bank to face the strong army, and they just wanted to show their favor as hostages and take the opportunity to surrender to the Governor of the Northern Army That's all.Now the outcome of the strong and weak has been completely reversed, it's his turn to vent his anger!

He watched and admired the look on King Hengyang's face, and there was almost a kind of cruel pleasure in his heart—it's unknown whether he will kill him or not, from the perspective of Xiang and Duan, he will not take the life of this dude prince for the time being.But apart from saving one's life, there are many ways to train people...

However, the situation greatly exceeded Gao Duo's expectations, Mu Chen was slightly taken aback, but his face was purely confused:

"what?"

Gao Duo choked slightly, carefully scrutinized King Hengyang's face, but couldn't find any signs of fraud, as if he really didn't come to surrender——

But what can you do without surrender? !Is it because the skin and flesh are too itchy to take a few dozen people to the front of the northern army to spy on the army?

Gao Duo was obviously confused.He turned his head and glanced at the officials around King Hengyang, but he didn't see any anxious and worried expressions on their faces. Even the militiamen around him were calm...Of course, it's not surprising that these militiamen are ignorant of the general trend of the world, ignorant and fearless , but the rest—especially Mr. Xiang, who knows the military well—how could they be so calm.

The male lead's lips trembled slightly, and finally he couldn't keep his smile.

Mu Chen ignored him, rolled up his sleeves, and looked at his watch.

"Eight past five." He muttered to himself, "It's time. Let's get started."

Xiang Liang nodded slightly, reached out and tapped the hidden earphones beside his ears.A few seconds later, he heard the sound of the earphones buzzing - the radio set up in the back mountain had been activated, and a concise and crucial order came out:

"Go to war"

According to the estimates of the traverser team, the first thing to be touched was the offensive lying in ambush at the bottom of the river—for several days, they had deployed dozens of radio intelligent water/mines in the rapids on the banks of the Yangtze River.But now the radio device was activated, and they automatically swam to the area with the densest heat signals...that is, the pier where the Northern Army boarded the ship.

Compared with the flaming aerial weapons, the power of water/thunder is quite subtle.Even the people on the hillside didn't observe any movement at first.Looking far away, they could only see a slight commotion by the pier, and ships like ants bobbing up and down.

Then, a stream of water tens of meters high gushed up, hovering in the air and turning into a foreign object like a dragon and snake!

It wasn't until this time that the loud noise as heavy as thunder came late, shaking the trees on the hillside slightly.

Everyone on the hillside reacted differently.Those militiamen who came from afar were terrified, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thinking that the dragon was about to descend; Yi Cheng and Gao Duo were pale, leaning against the tree and could hardly move.But Mu Chen sighed slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at the already boiling river—all he could see was chaos, like a pot of boiled wontons.It's just that the beating is no longer the skin and meat, but the people who are struggling and running like ants.

The first wave of water at the beginning directly swept away all the thousands of wooden boats on the bank, as well as the nearly thousand Northern Army gathered at the ferry, leaving only the bare long beams of the wharf on the river bank.But soon the second wave of water gushed upwards, disintegrating gold and cracking rocks, directly tearing half of the rocks on the long beam, and engulfing hundreds of soldiers of the Northern Army who had no time to escape.Under the impact force of scorpion, scorpion is more fragile than white paper.In an instant, thick blood surged out, but was quickly diluted and invisible by the river water.

At this time, the stupefied Northern Army finally moved.These soldiers who stood still and were at a loss finally reacted, then turned around screaming wildly, and fled in all directions.Under the blow of this terrifying abnormality, the morale could not even last for ten seconds!

In an instant, there was a surge of people on the river bank, and there were terrified screams and screams everywhere, as well as violent pushing and even slashing that almost lost their minds.Blood gushed out immediately inside and outside the long and narrow sandy beach.The east wind was so strong on the hillside that Mu Chen even heard that miserable howling that was not human.

He frowned slightly, but finally turned his head to signal Xiang Liang: "Fire!"

Now that the decisive battle has been made, we must try our best to kill and injure the living forces, otherwise the opponent will take a breather and attack again, and there will be endless chaos immediately!

His words were not loud, but the male lead who was leaning against the tree and motionless suddenly raised his head, and the scarlet eyes almost seemed to burst out of flame.

Of course, Mu Chen didn't have the energy to pay attention to this kind of red-eyed literature.He looked up at the back mountain—because the shelling was too noisy, he deliberately chose a relatively secluded firing point, so as not to shock his own people to the ground first.

Even so, the sound of the cannon was still vibrating like thunder, which shocked a dozen militiamen to collapse again, and Xiang Liang had to sternly tell them all to stand up.Then a ball of fire flew from the sky and rushed towards the densely packed northern army positions.

As a weapon used in daily positions, the sound and light effects of cannon/bullets are far less amazing.When it passed the army formation, its speed was even a bit slow, like a dull sickle flying in the dense wheat field, protruding a few hundred meters and then stopped abruptly, leaving only the body lying down like wheat... …and the plowed corridor of flesh.

However, it was this slow killing that alarmed the stunned Gao Duo.He finally reacted gradually from the blank, but there was only one thought in his mind:

What power is this, what power is this!

Trembling, he clung to the trunk to stabilize his equally trembling feet.But this is not the trembling of fear, but the thrill of power screaming in every vein of his blood:

What power is this, what power is this!

He has seen military formations, battlefields, sharp swords and even the most elite heavy armored cavalry in the Northern Dynasty. His father and king once showed him these killing tools one by one, telling him that a strong soldier and a strong horse are the emperor, and that a soldier and a horse are the best. It is the invincible support of the invincible world.But now—but now, these murderous weapons that have been painstakingly crafted are simply doll's toys—no, even more ridiculous and pathetic than doll's toys, and their strength is not as strong as a straw...

Gao Duo stared down the mountain with wide eyes, staring at the elite soldiers who were harvested like straw.He stared so engrossed that the corners of his eyes burst open, leaving thin streams of blood.Gao Duo's heart and blood vessels beat together, followed by a sharp scream from the bottom of his heart, like crying, screaming, or moaning from the soul——

This is power, this is power!

Compared with it, compared with it—what is a treasured sword?What is a sharp sword?What the hell is a cavalry chariot?They're just jokes, they're just jokes!This is the power, this is the divine tool, this is the reliance that can conquer the world, and this is the emperor who will serve all the people!

How ludicrous, how pathetic, how pathetic—ever wielding knives and swords, self-righteous fool!Once brandishing knives and swords, self righteous self!

Gao Duo's lips were trembling slightly, he turned his head from the side of the tree trunk, trying to confirm what kind of monster was standing beside him.But when the matter came slowly, Mu Chen suddenly sneezed.

"it's too cold."

He complained, wrapped his woolen shawl tightly, and wiped his face quite disregarding his appearance.

This move shattered Gao Duo's last fantasy—the one standing beside him was not an omnipotent god, but just, just a mortal with some kind of power.

...It turns out that humans can also have such power?

Gao Duo's hand finally couldn't hold it anymore.He let go of the tree trunk, and crawled softly in front of Mu Chen's feet.

·

Mu Chen looked up at the trajectory of the cannon in the sky, and suddenly heard the system's ding-dong prompt:

[The favorability value of the male protagonist has increased by 170, and he has gained 300 points.Please keep up the good work. 】

Mu Chen wiped her nose, feeling baffled:

"what?"
