I have ten trillion licking dog gold

West Wind Ridge.

Dozens of cannons were lined up in a row, bombarding the mountains.

Human weapons may seem advanced, but they are extremely insignificant in the face of nature.

As Boss Jiang said, even if dozens of artillery pieces fired at full power day and night and worked continuously for three days, the impact was minimal.

The mountain is still a mountain, still lying there. Not only has it been flattened, but even the trees have not been blown away.

At most, the creatures in the mountains were severely harmed and had to endure noise pollution for several days, especially the birds, which flew around everywhere.

From a visual perspective, the coalition's artillery was like tickling the giant lying there. The giant did not move at all, but the lice on his body were disturbed.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

But the coalition forces didn't care.

What is there to say?

Fuze has firepower coverage!

To prevent the artillery from overheating and exploding, there was an intermittent pause of an hour, and then the deafening sound of artillery fire once again resounded through the mountains.

Sin ah.

The commander of the Allied Forces, Tan Jiabin, personally supervised the work and watched helplessly as shells fell into the valley like mud into the sea, and then disappeared without a trace, just like stones confiscated by the sea.

Over the past few days, hundreds of tons of artillery shells were fired, but there was no sign of the enemy. Millions of dollars were thrown out, and only the sound was heard.

  Are you setting off firecrackers for fun?

"General, if the bombing continues like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for much longer."

The generals couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

  Isn't this a complete waste of money?

However, all the arms and supplies were provided by the Allied Forces, not paid for by ourselves, otherwise we could not afford such a hassle.

No wonder they were able to achieve such impressive results; the Allied Forces were indeed “well-off”.

Oh shit.

A group of bandits actually have more money than their "regular army".

  How to balance?

"The enemy's tunnel is in the valley. Our mission is to completely destroy the enemy's tunnel, reduce the pressure on General Jin, and live up to General Jin's trust in us."

Nothing wrong with it.

But the problem is.

  Where is the tunnel?

Do the rebels really have the ability to dig holes in the mountains? Are they possessed by pangolins?

However, the information reported by the scouts did show that traces of artificial tunnels were found in the mountains.

You can't just take the money and not work. People pay you to come here, not to enjoy the natural scenery, right?

We have to make some noise to get the job done.

"Our artillery shell reserves can only support three days of consumption."

It’s only been a few days and all the shells are already used up?

But obviously we can't blame the Allied forces for being stingy.

in contrast.

The Allied Forces were very generous in this joint operation, but no matter how generous they were, they could not withstand such a horrific rate of consumption.

It can only explain one problem.

I really don’t feel bad about using other people’s things.

"Then write a report."

Tan Jiabin took his time.

"What report?"

"Ammunition is in short supply and needs to be replenished. I will personally send it to General Jin."

The general was stunned, a little embarrassed, and couldn't help wondering: "Will the allied forces give it? They are now trapped in Negandu, I'm afraid they can't take care of themselves..."

"Do you think these equipments really belong to the Allied Forces?"

The general immediately stopped talking.

Anyone with a sound mind can understand that it is impossible for a warlord to have such strong financial resources.

"I'll file a report right away."

Tan Jiabin nodded.

The general turned around and walked away, still waving his hand sternly to give orders.

"Blow it up! Blow it up hard!"

Oh shit.

Anyway, you don’t need to pay for it yourself.

What do you care about?

I don’t know when I will be able to enjoy this kind of fireworks show again.

South side of Xifeng Ridge.

Or the inside.

Even though we were several kilometers away, we could still hear the fierce artillery fire from the rear.

The Allied Forces were enjoying bombing the mountains and hills, but an armed force of 3,000 men appeared in the pass unharmed and even appeared in a swagger.

Isn't it a natural pass?

  Isn’t it easy to defend and difficult to attack?

wrong.

It definitely wasn't an attack.

After all, the United Army didn't respond at all.

A tunnel?

Nor is it possible.

Even if there were, they would surely collapse under such intensive attacks, and everyone would be buried inside.

and so.

  Did you really learn the magic?

Mastered the art of mass teleportation?

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Even from such a distance, the ground seemed to be shaking slightly. It was obvious that the coalition forces really worked hard for the money.

"Master Jin still doesn't understand why he is so stupid. Going against Mr. Jiang is doomed to fail."

Bao Can looked towards Xifeng Ridge.

  What is his status?

He is the lieutenant general of Wei Yi and a younger brother of my younger brother. Now he dares to comment on Lord Jin and is full of disdain from the bottom of his heart.

Be a leader.

It has to be dignified.

For example, even though they became enemies, no matter how tough the allied generals said, their actual actions clearly showed that they were quite respectful of Wei Yi.

The two form a sharp contrast.

When your enemy begins to look down on you, it actually indirectly symbolizes the outcome of the battle.

"What is the current situation in Negandu?"

Wei Yi asked, turning a deaf ear to the artillery fire behind him.

  What does it mean that he has come in?

This shows that Mu Lun's plan of clearing the countryside has completely failed, and almost all the rebels have sneaked in.

The two heavily guarded passes were almost useless.

"Master Jin chose the strategy of retreat, probably intending to cooperate with the coalition forces of Xifengling to cut off our logistics and let us fall without attacking. He would never have thought that the reinforcements he invited with so much money..."

Bao Can stopped and withdrew his gaze from the direction of Xifeng Ridge, with a cold sneer on his lips.

Killing a person is easy.

What's even more cruel is that he is living a life worse than death.

  He was really looking forward to seeing what Master Jin's reaction would be when he found out about all this.

"What are the casualties?"

Bao Shen hesitated.

The battlefield is always tragic.

Although Lord Jin was being played around by others, the strength of the allied forces was there.

"When I left, the casualties were over 2,000, but the enemy's casualties must have been more than twice ours!" Wei Yi remained silent.

The troops continued to move forward, getting farther and farther away from West Wind Ridge.

"General Baturu knows all the allied forces well. It is impossible for Lord Jin to escape easily from Negandu. General, the enemy has sent out its best troops. Now is a good time for us to attack Huanglong directly."

Go straight to Huanglong?

It is indeed Tiangang.

"Master Jin has moved all his assets out, so it won't make much sense even if he takes over Haiguang."

Bao Can's proposal was very tempting, but was rejected by Wei Yi calmly. "The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. This is our biggest advantage at the moment. Lord Jin can't figure out our size. If you choose to attack Haiguang, he will react immediately."

Bao Can nodded thoughtfully, "Then let's gather all our forces and destroy him in Neigandu in one fell swoop? Lord Jin's drones have all become scrap metal. We can attack him by surprise and we have a good chance of taking him down!"

"Even without the drones, Lord Jin still has nearly 30,000 troops. If we engage in a head-on battle, both sides will pay a heavy price."

"Then what the general means is..."

Wei Yi did not answer, "Notify Baturu to slow down the offensive."

Negandu.

For some reason the fierce fighting suddenly stopped.

It was as if an invisible hand pressed the time pause button.

It is understandable that one side retreats to defend, but it is too weird for both sides to stop fighting at the same time.

Are you in tune with each other?

Both sides are eager to fight to the death, so it is impossible for them to reach such a tacit understanding.

"This is the report from Tan Jiabin. Take a look."

The wound on Master Jin's forehead has not healed yet, and he has just changed the bandage.

learn from mistakes.

The leader of the allied forces finally learned his lesson. He stayed at home for the past two days, cultivating relationships with his trusted generals... no, communicating about the situation.

Mu Lun took the report and read it silently.

"Their ammunition consumption is almost on par with ours."

Master Jin said indifferently.

The allied forces sat in Xifeng Ridge, resting easy, and at most doing some civil engineering work, but the armaments they consumed were almost comparable to those consumed on the battlefield on their side.

  What do you mean?

Are you taking him as a fool?

“It’s a bit exaggerated.”

Mu Lun put down the report and agreed with Master Jin.

"He called to ask for money, and then he immediately asked for weapons. He is so greedy."

"General, our equipment is running low."

Master Jin laughed, "Do you think they are targeting us? No, they are targeting Westerners. They are jealous of Westerners' support for us and want to get a piece of the pie. But we are bleeding and sacrificing, and they just want to take it. Why?"

"I rejected Tan Jiabin immediately."

"Do not."

Master Jin stopped him, "Now is not the time to fall out, just give us less. We can still afford this amount of arms."

As he spoke, the leader of the allied forces had a gleam in his eyes, revealing a fierce look, "No matter how much they eat now, there will always be a chance to make them spit out double in the future."

A man can bend and stretch.

Sometimes, you have to learn to bear humiliation.

This is something we need to learn from Baturu.

Master Jin's eyes became sharper.

All grudges will eventually be settled, and the day of bringing it to an end is not far away.

"Western weapons have already entered the country and will soon be shipped over."

On the battlefield.

time is life.

This time the Westerners were very efficient and there was no dragging their feet. But the Allied Forces were, after all, warlord forces, so they certainly could not carry out a large-scale airdrop. They could only carry out ground transportation, and it had to be secret.

"I'll bring some people to meet them."

Mu Lun said immediately, as if he was a screw, ready to be inserted wherever needed.

Master Jin raised his hand.

"This is just a small matter, you don't need to personally take action. I have asked Qin Zidan to take charge."

Master Jin didn't want his left and right arms to work too hard.

"General, this batch of arms is extremely valuable and of great importance. It will affect the course of the war. I think I need to go."

"Mu Lun, you are not made of iron. Don't take all the burdens on yourself. This batch of arms is escorted by the government and uses official channels. Moreover, I asked Qin Zidan to send 5,000 soldiers to meet them. What can go wrong?"

Master Jin asked, "Are you worried about the rebels?"

He glanced at the report sent from Zephyr Ridge. "The tunnel has been blown up. The rats can't get in. Negandu is also half-surrounded by us. It's safe."

Now that the leader has said this, as a subordinate, there is no way I can continue to argue.

"The Westerners also provided us with a batch of new drones this time. Once the equipment arrives, it will be the end of those rebels."

"Aren't they worried about being exposed?"

Master Jin sneered, "Just like the Orientals, they are all a bunch of hypocrites. They are playing the same trick of converting civilian equipment into military equipment, purely deceiving themselves and others. Mu Lun, do you know what power is? It means that you know you are deceiving yourself and others, and you also know that the whole world knows you are deceiving yourself, but the whole world has to cooperate with you in acting, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and pretending to be stupid. This is power."

His ideological realm suddenly rose to a higher level, and Mu Lun couldn't handle it for a while.

"Rules are made by the strong. This world is just a makeshift team. As long as you are strong enough, you can do whatever you want."

Mu Lun remained silent.

Lord Jin knew that he was going off topic. He was just a warlord and at most he had the chance to play a leading role in this remote mountain village. It was a pipe dream for him to step onto a bigger stage. But nevertheless... it was not necessarily that he had no chance at all.

He only needs to eliminate Wei Yi, reintegrate the allied forces, and then negotiate peace with the government. With the help of the reputation of a hero who promoted national unity, he will surely become the most famous figure in the country.

then……

  Who says you can't turn the tables and take over the magpie's nest?

The sea is boundless and the sky is the shore; I am the peak when I reach the top of the mountain!

The road is made by walking.

  How far a person can go depends on how far his thoughts can take him!

Anything-is-possible!

At that time, the four major families, the orthodox nobles...all had to tremble and prostrate themselves at his feet!

He had read the story of "Water Margin" and he accepted the amnesty, but of course he did not want to be like the foolish Song Jiang.

But his inner thoughts were destined not to be revealed to anyone, including his most trusted confidant, Mu Lun.

The prospects are extremely broad, but we have to take one step at a time.

We still have to solve the current dilemma first.

Master Jin's pupils first flickered with flames, then the flames gradually expanded, and then slowly subsided.

He was silent for a while and looked at the sky outside the wall.

"Do you feel like something is wrong?"

Mu Lun looked puzzled, not understanding what was going on. "What do you mean, General?"

Master Jin raised his hand and pointed his right hand diagonally toward the wall.

"Don't you think it's too quiet?"

"The rebels must have received the news of the tunnel being blown up, and their fighting spirit has been weakened. They dare not continue to provoke us."

Master Jin shook his head, looking unfathomable, "It's not that simple. If their fighting spirit was really low, they should have fled in large numbers, instead of being as quiet as if they were all dead like now."

He looked at Mu Lun, "If it were you, what would you choose at this time?"

Mu Lun remained calm and quickly replied, "Surrender, or fight to the death."

That's right!

This coincides with Master Jin’s idea.

Time is on his side now.

The longer it drags on, the less chance the rebels will have of winning due to lack of supplies, so we should choose to fight a quick battle and end it quickly.

But now, Negandoo seemed to have suddenly pressed the pause button, and the rebels seemed to be competing with them in patience.

Master Jin frowned, raised his arms, dragged his right elbow with his left arm, and placed his right index finger on the side of his nose, thinking.

He is waiting for military reinforcements.

  What are the rebels waiting for?
