Chapter 461: Battle in the Snow
Office Hall.
"Your Majesty, there are currently twelve destroyers officially in service in Daxia and three battleships. The shipyard and project team sent reports to confirm whether they would continue to manufacture. If they continue, subsequent funds will be paid."
Zhang Liang flipped through a report and quickly and concisely reported the main content to Xia Qi.
Xia Qi, who was processing a report, said without raising his head, "Continue to make it. If you need funds, ask them to write an application report first, and then send it to the finance department and then allocate it."
"Your Majesty, Xia Hai sent a message asking if he wanted to build a sea lighthouse. At the same time, the Navy sent an application, saying that it was to conduct night training for the fleet, and asked His Majesty for approval."
The person who spoke this time was Du Ruhui.
"This Lu Meng."
Xia Qi muttered a little funny.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire navy, Lu Meng did not need to apply for anything like training, just make a decision.
This was the case when he was the chief commander of the navy, and it is still the case now.
But you should know that the Daxia Navy's camp is next to Daxia City, and it is very fast to issue an application.
But now the navy is so far from Daxia City. If it still needs to apply for everything as before, how much time would it be wasted?
Xia Qi raised his hand to take the report, and after quickly searching through it to confirm that there was no problem, he signed his name and stamped it with a seal.
Then he said, "Tell Lu Meng, don't ask me about this kind of thing in the future, just let him make the decision."
This busy and peaceful day lasted for a long time.
Xia Qi has only two development goals at present.
1. Complete the full popularization of the power system and allow Daxia to enter the electrical society.
2. Improve the naval combat power, settle the threats of fishmen and dark elves in the offshore area, directly push out your territory to this continent, and include the nearby sea area and islands into the territory of your Daxia.
Neither of these two goals can be solved in one or two years.
Just as Xia Qi's plan was proceeding in an orderly manner, a system prompt suddenly rang.
[Frank player "Jones Johnson" activates props "War Token (Silver Level)" to you]
Immediately, the former scene appeared again.
However, whether they have misunderstandings or real hatred is not important, what matters is the next battle.
As the promoter of the prop, Jones Johnson has the right to set it first.
In Xia Qi's view, in general, the first setting is to either select troops or terrain. The advantages of these two settings are the most obvious.
I saw that Jones Johnson on the opposite side took the lead in setting up troops, 50,000!
Although 50,000 troops does not mean there are 50,000 soldiers, there are also quite a lot of troops.
Xia Qi now has two choices: one is to set the terrain to grab another advantage and play the opponent seriously, and the other is to choose to set the time.
As long as he sets the time to the shortest month, he believes that he can easily get through it.
Time was limited, and after thinking for a while, he finally chose time.
The other party’s intention is unknown, so it’s safer to believe it.
After seeing Xia Qi's one-month time limit setting, Jones Johnson immediately saw through Xia Qi's idea and then directly set the battlefield map to "small".
From this moment on, the confrontation between the players of both sides had begun. Xia Qi deliberately avoided it, but the other party made him unable to avoid it.
Although the battle time limit is only one month, as long as the battlefield map is small enough, that month is enough!
"Tsk!"
Xia Qi twitched lightly. Since the other party was forced to such an extent, he had no reason to retreat.
Originally, he planned to choose the terrain, but in the end, he chose the weather and set it to winter.
Xia Qi's operation was directly beyond Jones Johnson's expectations.
He originally thought that the other party would choose to set the terrain to ensure the terrain advantage, but he chose the season and also set it for winter.
"Is this trying to avoid war through the severe cold climate?" Jones Johnson guessed in his heart.
Eventually, Jones Johnson set the terrain to hills.
As long as you find the right position of the hilly terrain, it is actually very suitable for spreading the rifle formation.
Then, as a prop user, Xia Qi knew about the privilege of reducing the military expenses to half.
But it doesn't matter. He has planned how to deal with this battle. After all, he has already planned it on this side.
As the two people's settings ended, the system prompt rang again.
【Military force: 50,000】
【Terrain: Hills】
【Season: Winter】
【Fighting time limit: one month】
【Battlefield size: small】
[All information has been confirmed and the battlefield is being generated. Please wait...]

The snow on the battlefield was very heavy, which greatly affected the sight.
Instead of leading the army in person, Jones Joseph appointed an officer to take charge of the battle.
The officer who commanded the battle could not have the soldiers advance in the snow in this environment, as the risk would be too high.
Fortunately, this is a typical hilly terrain. The officers who are very familiar with this type of terrain soon found a leeward side to allow them to temporarily shelter from the wind and snow on a high ground.
At the same time, he prayed in his heart that the heavy snow stopped quickly.
When Jones Johnson learned that the season on this battlefield was winter, although he equipped his soldiers with winter clothes and a series of corresponding equipment, even so, facing such heavy snow in the wild is definitely not an easy task.
I don’t know if the officer’s prayer worked. The heavy snow lasted only a little more than a day and stopped the next morning.
However, the snowfall this day is enough to turn the world in front of you into silver.
Just like the sunlight of the refrigerator lights falling on this snow-white hill, the reflected sunlight will greatly affect your vision.
But now there is no other choice. After taking a sip of hot soup to dispel some of the cold, the officer took out a map.
As a player, you can have a system map, but it is obviously impossible for the generals under your command to have it. Therefore, when the player does not go into battle personally, the system will give you a map to make up for this defect.
However, this map is very ordinary, so it is the first small piece, and the terrain of the area needs to be explored slowly by the soldiers.
After confirming a general direction through the map, the officer issued an order and began to send scouts to explore the surrounding searches for the enemy's traces.
This small battlefield is really not big. Considering the number of troops on the other side, it should not be particularly difficult to find the target.
Under the cold sunshine, Jones Johnson's army moved slowly.
The sound of the foot stomping on the snow constantly echoed in the ears of every Frank soldier. The thick snow made every step they stepped on and half of their calfs directly covered, making every soldier feel the difficulty of marching in the snow.
However, they didn't know that in such a snow-covered hill, their eyes were already on them.
After nightfall, the soldiers surrounded the fire, drinking hot soup while thinking in their minds when such a day would be considered the end.
On the outside of the camp, under the night sky, figures that almost merged with the snow around them had quietly touched the nearby area.
A snow-white figure flashed quickly across the periphery attracted the attention of a Frank soldier guarding the outside of the camp.
After rubbing his eyes, the soldier said to another soldier on duty beside him, "Did something pass by just now? I'll go over and take a look."
Another soldier frowned when he heard this, then glanced at the snowy area outside and said cautiously: "Wait, I'll go with you."
The two soldiers turned on the flashlight they carried with them at the same time. The Frank soldier who spoke first walked in front, while the cautious Frank soldier was five or six steps behind and followed behind.
There was no moon tonight. After a little far from the camp, the light around it suddenly became a little dim. The cold wind blew like a knife to make people's skin hurt, making the Frank soldier walking in front couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The light provided by the flashlight quickly swept through the snow in front of him. The Frank soldier walking in front noticed something. He greeted his companion behind him, "Hi, Peter, come and see this..."
While speaking, the Frank soldier subconsciously turned back to his partner, but found that there was no one behind him.
Peter, who was supposed to be following him, disappeared quietly. This situation immediately shocked the Frank soldier. He opened his mouth and immediately called Peter's name.
As a result, before he could speak, under the cover of the cold wind, an arrow directly penetrated his neck.
Therefore, the Frank soldier did not shout out his companion's name, but after coughing a few times, he fell heavily on the snow.
A large amount of blood flowed out of his mouth and wounds.
Returning to the calm snow, two snow-white figures slowly appeared, which was the Snow Fox tribe in the Daxia Tribe in the bitter cold land.
The two snow fox men stood in two different directions. After quickly disposing of the corpse of the Frank soldier, the fox man walked more than ten meters in the opposite direction. Then the corpse of the Frank soldier, known as Peter, appeared in front of him.
Of course, the corpse appeared...
This Frank soldier named Peter was shot through his throat by another fox man from behind with a clean arrow!
At this moment, the plans of these two fox guerrilla soldiers were already clear.
One person is responsible for attracting the other party's attention, while the other person is silently sniping the two soldiers from behind with bows and arrows.
It has to be said that at this stage, when it is a hidden weapon, the value of bows and arrows cannot be replaced by guns.
At this moment, the same drama was also being performed around the camp of the Frank army. The guards arranged by the other party around the camp were quickly cleaned up by the snow fox people.
