Chapter 421 Internal Conflicts

As the supreme commander of the Southern Military Region, General Ed is better at strategic layout than partial marches and wars.

Strictly speaking, General Ed is an excellent military expert. Before the three armies of Weijiaji started, General Ed had ordered the firm to strengthen Qingbiye, with Nancheng as the center, all residents within a radius of fifty kilometers to move into Nancheng.

All the food and strategic materials were scattered cleanly.

Now, even though the population of Nancheng has exceeded 2 million, there will be no problem with grain reserves for a year.

General Ed had done a deep research on the peasant uprising. He knew very well that although the farmers in Weijiaji were now all fierce, as long as they were short of food, people would be disintegrated.

General Ed has absolute confidence to defend the South City.

Now there are nearly 200,000 regular troops in Nancheng. Together with the forced recruitment of 200,000 young and middle-aged people, the total number has exceeded 400,000. The most important thing is that the population in Nancheng is as high as more than 2 million. With such a large population base, it is easy to be supplemented by soldiers.

In contrast, the soldiers of Wei Jiaji lacked weapons, food and grass, and the total number was less than 300,000, and most of them were mixed with fish and dragons, including the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and there was no discipline at all.

Of course, Ed also buried a secret chess, that is, tens of thousands of cavalry walking outside the South City. The feedback showed that Sam's cavalry had been wiped out, and the 20,000 cavalry ambushed one of the three routes were wiped out. However, this had no effect on General Ed's layout. The combined number of the other two cavalry exceeded 30,000. These 30,000 cavalry were maneuvering on the periphery and could cooperate with the South City at any time, so that the Wei family Ji rebel army was attacked from both sides...

...

Everything was under General Ed's control, but he seemed to have forgotten the most critical man.

Liu Fei!

The confident General Ed ignored Liu Fei's existence. Of course, this ignorance was not a real ignorance. Several years later, historians found through several researches that General Ed did not ignore Liu Fei, but a kind of self-psychological anesthesia, allowing himself to live in illusion.

On this day, after Liu Fei killed Steve, the gate of Nancheng was closed and Liu Fei also set up camp to rest and had nothing to do for the time being.

The next day, another army came to the city.

This is a disciplined army. When ambushing the cavalry, the army caused almost no harm, but instead strengthened the army, because it not only captured a lot of spoils, but also incorporated another army of dispersed troops. Now, the total number of this army has exceeded 130,000, which can be said to be strong.

After the army arrived at the city, it did not immediately attack the city. Instead, it set up camps, dig deep into trenches, and looked like a long-term siege.

When General Ed couldn't help but admire the army when he saw that the army was at the city and did not rush to attack the city, General Ed couldn't help but secretly admire it. Obviously, the leader was also a master, and realized that he could not conquer the South City in a short time, so he was ready for a tug-of-war.

In addition to admiration, General Ed was a little depressed. If the other party really planned to siege for a long time, if there were no reinforcements, he really had no choice, because he realized that it was not the army that besieged them, but the farmers, and they could completely farm themselves...

Of course, this situation is very small. After all, there are still tens of thousands of cavalry on the periphery, and they can harass them at any time. Besides, over time, the other three military regions will also march southward.

...

In fact, no one will really extend the war infinitely. Not only General Ed doesn't want it, but also the Grand Chief Austin doesn't want it.

The leader of Austin was the main force that besieged the South City. It was he who wiped out an ambush cavalry and created a war miracle where infantry wiped out the cavalry.

Austin is the son of the Merck leader, thirty-two years old.

Austin was not a peasant. He was a famous family. He was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at a young age. When he grew up, he went out to study and graduated from the Utopian Northern Military Academy. It was time to be full of confidence after graduation. Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. He stayed in the Northern Military Region for more than three years. In the end, because he had no strong backstage, and was arrogant and disdainful of flattery, he did not make a name for himself in three years. He returned to his family business in depression. After the Wei Family Ji uprising, he took over as the leader of the Merck clan and defected to Wei Family Ji.

Because he graduated from the military academy and knew how to march and fight, he soon made his mark in Weijiaji. Countless small tribes and families depended on him and became the leader of one of the three armies.

Now, what makes Austin the most headache is the tens of thousands of cavalry in the rear.

Not only did he have to be wary of the tens of thousands of cavalry raiding at all times, but he also had to worry about whether the cavalry would kill Wei Jiaji's nest or kill them to their tribe. Now the tribe is the old, weak, sick and disabled, and has no defense ability at all. If the cavalry raided all the way, it would definitely be a disaster.

Austin decided to fight quickly. He dug deep into the trenches and put on a long-term battle in order to confuse the Nancheng military.

In the next few days, Austin kept sending small troops to harass Nancheng, and sent a large number of detective cavalry to collect intelligence information, which always kept Nancheng in a tense state.

Austin knew very well that only in this way would the tens of thousands of cavalry on the periphery not dare to leave Nancheng. After all, Nancheng is their rear. If Nancheng is lost, they will become a stray dog.

On the fifth day after Austin arrived in South City, Wei Chongyang sent someone to contact Austin.

Wei Chongyang asked him to see Liu Fei.

Liu Fei!

When Austin heard this name, his heart beat. Until now, he had only looked at Liu Fei from afar in Weijiaji Square. Strictly speaking, he had never really met Liu Fei.

In fact, Austin has been avoiding Liu Fei.

See?

Still missing?!

Austin was a little unwilling to give up. The situation is very clear now. He was the only one left in the three armies. He had an absolute advantage. He knew very well that after meeting, his command might be deprived. This was something he had always been worried about, and now, what he was worried about finally happened.

The tents where dozens of men gathered were very quiet. All the senior officials in Austin's army were here, waiting for Austin to make a decision.

"Big leader, why didn't they come to see you? Wasn't it just killing Steve's waste?" A big man with muscles like granite broke the silence and said dissatisfied.

"Sam is not a waste, even if Steve is a waste, what about Sam?" Austin frowned and looked at the big man.

"Sam was killed by Wei Xiong."

"Whose person is Wei Xiong?"

"he……"

"I won't mention these for now. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Austin glared at the big man. This big man was his tribe member. Although the big man spoke what he wanted to say, the big man's identity was not suitable. Austin hoped to gain support from other tribes.
