Victor returned to Orange Town anxiously. No one stopped him on the way, not even a routine interrogation or inspection. It was as if everyone in Mushroom Ridge didn't want to know what Victor took away from them and what he gave them.
Forio knew that Victor had returned to Orange Town, so he immediately rushed to see him without stopping.
Forio asked:
"How was your chat?".
Victor shook his head and said to Forio:
"Almost no chat at all.".
Forio frowned and asked:
"What do you mean?".
Victor completely narrated his conversation with Xu Kuang, and then took out the black wooden box that Xu Kuang gave him.
This box is very huge, or it would be more appropriate to say it is a box.
Victor opened the box and at first glance, it was all pure white lime.
The two of them didn't care whether the lime would stain the carpet, so they poured a whole box of lime onto the ground.
Four or five round objects rolled out of the pile of lime. Victor rummaged through the pile of lime and found a few more.
Forio's hands were shaking, he already knew what these things were.
Victor also frowned, but he still retained the last trace of fantasy.
They were lined up in a row, and Victor took a small brush and started brushing them.
One, two, three... faces came to light one by one. When the face with the eighth head appeared in front of Victor, he no longer had the calmness before, and instead suddenly fell to the ground.
These heads were exactly those Jose and the professional mercenaries Xu Kuang met when he went to the provincial capital.
Victor was startled and broke into a cold sweat:
"He...he knows everything...".
Forio looked at Victor in astonishment and asked:
"Does he know everything?"
Victor shook his head and said to Forio:
"I will return your armor and weapons to you, and you must join forces with me to deal with Xu Kuang.".
Forio was stunned for a moment, and was ecstatic in his heart. Although he didn't know why Victor completed his own strategy after seeing these heads, this was considered a good thing for Forio. At least he didn't have to. I was worried that trying to reason with Victor would be a waste of words.
Victor said:
"We still have one month. During this month, we have to build a defense line. We have to build as many traps, horse-blocking horses, ballistas, and arrow chariots as possible, so that all the people of Xiangcheng Town can move. We only have It’s been a month.”
Forio grabbed Victor and said to him:
"What do you mean? Please explain it to me clearly."
If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.
Victor smiled bitterly and said:
"In one month, Xu Kuang will come to attack Xiangcheng Town.".
Forio suddenly slumped in his chair.
…
Xu Kuang issued a new order to Zhou Jin, asking the reconnaissance company to go out of Xiangcheng Town and figure out the troop deployment in Xiangcheng Town as soon as possible.
The Second Cavalry Regiment, the First and Second Infantry Regiments, and the Artillery Battalion assembled toward the border of Xiangcheng Town, Balsamic Melon Ridge.
The navy began to familiarize itself with the hydrological conditions of the Pearl River between Xiangcheng Town and Mushroom Ridge in advance and conducted marching drills.
In order to prevent Victor and Forio from retreating north, the third battalion of cavalry was ordered to set up an ambush on the official road from Baihua City to Orange Town.
After doing all this, Xu Kuang slowly sat on the chair, his face full of exhaustion.
Zhuge Duan walked up to Xu Kuang, took Xu Kuang's hand, and asked:
"Lord, I already know the story between you and Victor. You have been having a hard time these past few years."
…
Forio and Victor stood on the top of the city, looking at the Wind Demon Eagle and the Nature Priest flying in the sky, their brows twitching.
Forio said to Victor:
"Did you see it? I was like this before. All the deployment of troops was exposed to Xu Kuang's eyes. He was confident, so I naturally retreated steadily."
Victor frowned and asked:
"Then we can't stop now and continue to do it. By the way, I have detained the cotton cloth from passing merchants. We can use these cotton cloths to cover up and continue the offensive excavation."
So Victor used the most rustic method of sending people to pull cotton cloth every ten meters to block the view of the sky.
…
Xu Kuang looked at the photos taken by the scouts, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said:
"Victor is so focused on his head but not his buttocks. He blocked the top, so I can still take pictures from the side..."
Guo Zan and Jian Yu on the side almost laughed Tianling Gai away.
Xu Kuang looked at Guo Zan and said to him:
"Don't laugh. It's your job. Make preparations immediately and prepare for the deployment of logistics vehicles, supplies, field medical care, etc. I will notify Tzuyu and ask him to discuss with you when he encounters difficulties."
Guo Zan immediately took the order and went forward.
Xu Zheng and Jian Yu looked at Guo Zan's back depressedly, and had no choice but to lower their heads and continue their work.
Xu Kuang looked at Xu Zheng and Jian Yu and said to them:
"Don't worry, there will be a time when you will be needed, and this time is not far away, do you understand?".
The two men immediately stood up, saluted, and said in unison:
"clear!".
…
Supplies were loaded onto vehicles one after another, ready to leave at any time.
Guo Zan looked at the signal soldier beside him and said to him:
"Send a report to Zhou Jin and ask him when he will set out.".
After a while, Zhou Jin's telegram was sent back.
Guo Zan counted with his fingers and said to everyone:
"The first batch of supply trucks will set off in an hour!"
Soon, an hour later, the supply truck drove to the front line in a mighty manner. Behind the supply truck was an empty medical four-wheeled emergency carriage.
This is another new thing invented by Xu Kuang. Xu Kuang made necessary components such as steering mechanisms, differentials, and shock absorbers for these carriages. He also painted negative pressure circles on each carriage to make them turn smoothly. It has preliminary first aid function.
This is the first version of the ambulance. After the single-cylinder tractor is manufactured, the second version of the ambulance can also start to be modified.
…
News of Zhou Jin's departure reached the ears of Victor and Forio, and they quickly ordered their soldiers to cover up the trap and begin to retreat.
…
Zhou Yu came to the front of the battle line. Although he had seen photos of the battle line, now that he saw the Juma traps and trenches in front of him, he felt quite complicated. Not to mention that there were many unknown traps waiting in advance. He did.
One side of Xiangcheng Town is along the river, which is a water gate, and three sides are not along the river, and there are three land gates.
Zhou Yu waved his hand, and the three early infantry regiments began to maneuver in three directions not along the river, forming a three-sided encirclement of Xiangcheng Town.
Then the navy drove an assault boat across the water and set up camp on the other side of the river to build a position.
At this point, Orange Town is surrounded from all sides, and there is absolutely no possibility for Victor to break out.
Victor said to Forio:
"We can't wait to die inside. Ten thousand soldiers cannot be deployed in this small town. We must withdraw some soldiers. To show our sincerity, I can withdraw four thousand soldiers and you withdraw five thousand." , we can just leave two thousand soldiers in the city."
Forio asked:
"Won't you get eaten?".
Victor said:
"Not for at least a month.".
