Ye Lang said tit-for-tat: "I was indeed a member of the garrison army before, but it seems that everyone knows why I pulled my brothers out to become mercenaries. If Captain Long feels that he has any questions, you can be responsible for the logistics. I only know that marching and preparing for war is the first priority. If our soldiers can't even eat enough, they will probably not be able to win the battle."

'Nothing wrong!' Wei Mang took the speech and said, 'March and preparation for war, food and grass are the first priority. It seems that Ye Lang, you haven't forgotten what I taught you before.' Ye Lang heard Wei Mang's voice, suddenly shut up and saluted a military salute very quickly. He stopped talking. Instead, Long Shan suddenly lost the opponent who was arguing and couldn't say what he was about to say.

‘Haha, Wei Mang, you are just right!’ Rick stood up just right and said, ‘Since you are here, you will arrange the next action. What should we do? What will the enemy do? How do we deal with it to win? You are the expert in this regard.’

Wei Mang walked to the table, spread out the Xiangcheng topographic map that he had been holding in his hand, and said seriously: 'Actually, if you analyze the advantages and disadvantages of our enemies, we can easily come up with some effective solutions. Please read it...' With a gentle sentence, Wei Mang attracted all the attention of the five people in the living room.

'According to the latest information, the commander of the United Legion is Marles, the commander of the Third Legion of the Kingdom of Huka Kingdom.' Wei Mang stopped, glanced at Ye Lang with a look of surprise, and smiled: 'He and I are old friends. This man is ignorant and does not have much experience in leading the army. The only thing worthy of praise is that he can handle the problem strictly according to the instructions above. To be honest, I can't understand why this powerful United Legion chose him as the commander of the army. After all, the Kingdom of Huka Kingdom has experienced legion commanders, such as Omarivi, a genius commander who once led a large army to break through the third floor outside the Shenfeng Fortress.'

'In addition to Marles, among the senior commanders of the United Legion, there are also Daniel, the unknown general of the Racing Horse Kingdom, the representative of the Karinkel Empire, Neil Linge, who is of royal blood, and Doni Feng, a veteran of the Skylar Kingdom who is experienced in many battles.'When I mentioned Feng's name, Wei Mang deliberately paused. Sure enough, he heard the sound of several people gasping and nodding with satisfaction, Wei Mang continued: 'We can ignore other people, but General Feng obviously cannot ignore it. He has experienced more wars than all of us combined. This is also the reason why I think this United Legion is very strange. It is really difficult to understand that there is such a veteran who does not serve as a commander.'

‘It’s not difficult to understand!’ said Bubarrow: ‘Almost every spring attack and subsistence is proposed by the Kingdom of Huka. This time it seems no exception. It is a unit of more than 100,000 people. How can it be handed over to the people of the Kingdom of Huka together to command? So the main command is still in the hands of the representatives of the Kingdom of Huka.’

Wei Mang nodded and said, "Yes, this is the only explanation." After a turn of his words, Wei Mang continued: "According to the latest information, the United Legion is now camping fifty miles northwest of Xiangcheng City. In my opinion, the enemy has a large number of people, but lacks food and grass. The first tentative attack will definitely start in these two days. For well-known reasons, the enemy's spies and spies will probably sneak into Xiangcheng City in these two days and contact some of the people of the commanders of the army...'

Wei Mang stopped intentionally, looked at the different faces of the four mercenary corps leaders, and said word by word: 'So, I decided to close the gate of Xiangcheng from tomorrow. Anyone entering and leaving Xiangcheng must get the approval letter from the lord's mansion before they can be released. As for the merchants and civilians who want to leave temporarily in Xiangcheng, they will leave the city today.'

Just as Bubarrow was about to speak, he heard Rick shouting: 'That's right, you have to do business. It's not too late to do business after the war. If you close the city gate, you can ensure that there are no problems inside. I agree with this proposal.'

Ye Lang glanced at Long Shan, whose face became a little unfair, and echoed: "That's right, I agree, Captain Lauders, what do you think?"

Commander Lauders frowned, obviously knowing what Wei Mang had to do. After thinking about it, he said: "It's true that this is true, but considering that merchants and civilians are still in a dilemma, can this plan be postponed until tomorrow afternoon, so that ordinary merchants can have a longer buffer time."

Wei Mang laughed and said, "Of course, we just want to make sure that there is no problem inside Xiangcheng. After all, war is war. Once the inside cannot figure out who is the enemy and who is the friend, I am afraid that the war will never win. I just want everyone to board the same ship, and don't be bothered."

Wei Mang said so clearly that Bubaro and Long Shan would certainly not be unable to hear it, and he agreed almost at the same time. After all, this is the only way in front of them.

After receiving the support of everyone, Wei Mang continued to tell his plan and said: "Although the enemy is large, because Xiangcheng has a thick wall and a wide moat, there is not necessarily a great benefit for many people. It is impossible for the real attackers to go anywhere. Xiangcheng is only fifty miles away from Shenfeng Fortress, and it can be turned around in half a day. Now Xiangcheng is resisting under the management of Count Xia Hua Peimeng, so when necessary, it is also a matter of the plan to request Shenfeng Fortress to send reinforcements. Considering that the commanders of the legion have been in Xiangcheng for a long time, it is necessary to explain such a thing first to avoid misunderstandings at that time."

Those who can become the leader of the mercenary group are not fools. They have some idea behind Wei Mang's words: "If you can beat them, fight them, fight them, fight them. Now we have a backstage, so it is best not to be bothered. Otherwise, with Rick, the Count and Lord of the Empire, you can let the people from the Shenfeng Fortress take over Xiangcheng at any time.' Therefore, four people, including Ye Lang, chose to remain silent almost at the same time.

'Including the four major mercenary groups and the lord's guards, the army that Xiangcheng can be allocated is about 45,000. Although it can be recruited temporarily, the new recruits have limited combat power, so we must deal with the enemy with these 45,000 people.' After awakening everyone, Wei Mang slowly said: 'Because we have few people, we must integrate all combat forces and resist the enemy together. Therefore, I suggest that the existing four major mercenary groups will remain unchanged in the original management mode, but starting tomorrow, the previous division of power in Xiangcheng will be cancelled, and any mercenary group can enter and exit the management scope of another mercenary group at will to ensure cooperation during combat.'

Before the four people raised objections, Wei Mang continued: 'However, I do not allow any private conflict in Xiangcheng City. After repelling the enemy, Xiangcheng City's management will decide based on the contribution of this battle. Which mercenary group has made more contributions and made more contributions, whoever gets more. On behalf of Count Xia Hua Peimeng, I can assure you that after the war, the lord's mansion will never take back your control over Xiangcheng City.'

After hearing this guarantee, the four mercenary commanders almost breathed a sigh of relief. To put it bluntly, the main reason why they were nervous was that they were worried that their immediate interests would be recovered. The main reason why they were able to unite to fight against the United Legion was only to protect their own interests. The reason for the debate just now was of course to protect their own interests. Now Wei Mang can guarantee that their interests will not be lost. These four people naturally recognized Wei Mang's methods of doing things.

Wei Mang looked at the four people with satisfaction, smiled, eased the atmosphere, and said: "In addition to defense, we must also attack!"

‘Observation?’ When Rick heard this, he finally couldn’t help but interject and asked: ‘Where to attack? Why do you need to attack?’

Wei Mang was obviously confident and explained with a smile: "In fact, there are many problems in the current joint legion. First of all, it is that it loses its initial spirit. In addition, the plan does not work at all, so its morale must be very low. The entire legion is made up of armies and mercenaries from multiple countries. Although there are more than 100,000, the real combat power is limited. To attack Xiangcheng, some elite troops must be assigned. So what are the remaining troops doing?'

Wei Mang paused and said, "The remaining troops do not have much food, and I would never have thought that anyone would dare to attack them. They are not elite troops at all. Even who the commander is, many ordinary soldiers do not know, and their camps must be scattered and do their own affairs. It is definitely common for our own people to not know our own people in such a joint legion. If we have a small and strong team to attack while the enemy is sending people to attack Xiangcheng City, and at the same time create rumors, then such an army with shortage of food and food is likely to fall into chaos...'

‘You will be defeated without fighting!’ Ye Lang murmured: ‘Old Wei, you are still that powerful!’

'According to the latest information, the camp of the United Legion is the Phantom Beast Forest to the west. Although Phantom Beast Forest is Pedoni's territory, everyone knows that if they lose the support of the other three countries, Pedoni does not have the ability to own the Phantom Beast Forest at all. Although Pedoni occupies a large area, because it is a big family country, there are not many troops. If you take this opportunity...'

'Okay, OK, Wei Mang, let's talk about what we should do in detail!' Rick interrupted Wei Mang and said: 'How should we cooperate, how to deal with the enemy when it comes, how to identify between our own people, this is the key. Don't worry about that much about Peidoni or the Phantom Beast Forest. I think the sneak attack you mentioned before is quite useful. At least there are hundreds of elite warriors in our own lord's mansion, which just meets your requirements.' (To be continued...)
