On the city wall!
After a moment of panic, Nishu finally calmed down.
While observing the situation of the Great Liang army, he directed his men to reinforce defenses in all aspects and make final additions to all positions to prevent Great Liang from taking advantage of the situation.
However, seeing the orderly attack of the Great Liang army and its neat and disciplined formations, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Such coordinated action is truly worthy of the army of the Retired Emperor of Great Liang. This is absolutely the elite of the elite!"
Only the elite can do this!
The fact that the Great Liang army could maintain perfect coordination during such a rapid offensive was truly astonishing.
This is the hallmark of a strong army. Soldiers move in unison, and when they launch an attack, it will be as smooth as flowing water. Such an attack is undoubtedly the most lethal.
This puts a lot of pressure on me.
"General, our city walls have been reinforced several times, and we even secretly purchased cement from Great Liang to reinforce them again. Now, the city walls are no longer just city walls, but a war fortress."
It would take the Great Liang three to five months for them to break through our defenses.
"By then, the Emperor will probably have resolved the issues between the Great Han and Great Tang, and everything will fall into place." Beside Nishu, his brother Hu'er sneered.
He was in charge of building this city wall, so he naturally knew its quality; it was incomparable to any other city's.
The city wall underwent reinforcement four times, making it an absolute super wall, far superior to those of the Zhennan Dynasty.
In addition, he secretly bought cement in Great Liang and used it on the city wall, which further improved the quality.
It was less a city wall and more a super fortress standing between two countries.
Lan Zhan's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "That's right! Our city wall is the same type as the one in Great Liang, it's absolutely sturdy!"
He had also heard of cement city walls, which were absolutely top-notch in terms of hardness, and he figured that even the Great Liang wouldn't be able to do anything about them.
"Hmm, that makes some sense!"
Upon hearing this, Nishu nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with the assessment.
To be honest, he was quite proud of this fortress wall. If he hadn't insisted on building it, the Great Liang would probably have already attacked.
With this fortress, I finally have room to maneuver.
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "By the way Lan Zhan, I asked you to check the enemy situation. Have you gotten any news?"
The problem isn't just here on my end, but across the entire border region. I can't afford to be careless in the slightest.
Upon hearing this, Lan Zhan's gaze sharpened, and his expression instantly darkened.
He glanced around before whispering, "General, according to the information I've gathered, the Great Liang has mobilized nearly two million troops this time..."
Holy crap!
Upon hearing this, Nishu's heart skipped a beat, and he almost cried out.
He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Damn it, Lin Yi really has his eye on Frostwest after all. He's determined to have it!"
I've already been careful enough with Great Liang, but I didn't expect them to create such a huge scene, sending in two million at once. I'm afraid I can't handle it.
"Damn it, Great Liang is inhuman!"
Hu'er, who had been so confident just moments before, was now so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
With a troop difference of one million, even an impregnable fortress couldn't withstand that, let alone a stronghold.
This seemed to confirm Lan Zhan's words, as requests for help arrived from various parts of the Frostwest border region.
"General, the southeast front is in dire straits. We are under attack by 300,000 enemy troops. We need reinforcements."
"General, we are facing an attack from 200,000 troops of the Great Liang in the north. We need reinforcements, otherwise we may be overwhelmed."
"General, Three-Li Gully is under attack by Great Liang troops from the Liang Dynasty. We are fighting a fierce battle against them and need reinforcements."
In an instant, more than eight towns came seeking help, which made Nishu's face extremely grim. He hadn't expected the problem to erupt so quickly; it was simply beyond his imagination.
Even if I wanted to help, I was powerless to do so.
If we send out the majority of our forces, then the main battlefield will be completely destroyed, and that would be a real disaster.
In the current situation, I must remain calm and composed.
He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, " Lin Yi really thinks highly of me, actually assembling an army of two million. Well then, we can only take it one step at a time!"
Lan Zhan, report this back to the country and let the Emperor handle it.
We can't worry about other places now; we can only protect what's in front of us, or we'll lose everything!
That's an army of two million. No matter how we divide our forces, it won't make a difference. It's better to defend our own city to the death, where there's still a glimmer of hope and we won't be completely overrun.
As for other places, we can only hope for the best.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Lan Zhan's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and he accepted the mission.
Although I have some concerns, if the eldest brother isn't in a hurry, then I don't need to be either. If the sky falls, there are always Zigao to hold it up.
He glanced at the surrounding defensive trenches and felt much more at ease; these things should be able to hold off the enemy for a while.
Seeing him leave, Nishu glanced at Hu'er beside him and said in a deep voice, "Leave here quickly, take your sister-in-law and nephew to Father's mansion. From now on, the family will depend on you."
Upon hearing this, Hu'er's expression changed drastically; his elder brother was giving his last words.
He exclaimed, "Brother, it hasn't come to that yet! We have a fortress; there's no need for this!"
"Just in case, one of us brothers must survive, otherwise the family will be completely wiped out. I can't leave, so it's your turn to go." Nishu glanced at him and instructed him.
He knew in his heart that the enemy had put on such a large show of force, and they wouldn't just let it go so easily; they would definitely not give up until they achieved their goal, so he had to stay here.
Hu'er's face stiffened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of Father, Mother, Sister-in-law, and Nephew!" After that, he turned and left to pack his things.
Just as his elder brother said, as the Grand General of the Frostwest Border, his elder brother absolutely could not leave, so he had no choice but to go himself.
Boom boom boom!
The deafening sound of horses' hooves reached them at that moment, making Nishu's heart tremble; what was bound to happen had finally arrived.
He glanced at Hu'er's retreating figure before letting out a long sigh of relief. Looking at the overwhelming crowd in the distance, his eyes hardened.
He picked up a bow from the side and went up to the city wall.
So, you're Lin Rusong, the Great Liang? I'll see how you breach my fortress!
Not far away, Lin Rusong quietly looked at the tall city wall, his eyes becoming deep and thoughtful.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "That bastard Ashina Tiandu actually has a general like Nishu! Heaven is truly blind!"
This city wall is not only tall and sturdy, but it also stretches endlessly, clearly indicating that this guy was well-prepared.
