Game Cultivation World: I'm really playing games

Xue Tianhan nodded slightly, and said with a firm look: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. This time, we were able to defend Jingzhou City thanks to the desperate fighting of you and the soldiers.

Next, we must quickly replenish our forces, strengthen training, and enhance the soldiers' combat effectiveness. At the same time, we must replan the city's defenses and improve the fortifications to prevent the enemy from succeeding so easily."

On the other side of Jingzhou City, Xiaoqi and others were also taking a short rest.

Xiao Qi put away the Heavenly Sword. Although his face showed signs of fatigue, his eyes remained firm. "This time, thanks to the timely support of my two sisters, otherwise it would have been quite a difficult situation. The dark power of that Night Owl is truly strange. I must be careful next time I encounter it."

Lady Green Snake gently stroked the Vermillion Bird fan and said coldly, "Hmph, if we meet again next time, I will use this Vermillion Bird fan to completely dispel his dark power."

Hu Meiniang blinked her charming eyes and said with a smile: "That's right, we can't let them take advantage of us next time."

At this time, Liu Bei summoned Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xue Tianhan and others in the tent to discuss important matters.

Liu Bei looked worried and spoke slowly, "Although Jingzhou City is surrounded by dangers, we are fortunate to be able to hold it. However, Cao Cao and Sun Quan will certainly not give up. How should we deal with the situation going forward? I hope you gentlemen can offer some advice."

Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan and said confidently, "Don't worry, my lord. Cao Cao and Sun Quan's alliance failed this time, and they will surely plot again. On the one hand, we must consolidate the defenses of Jingzhou, and on the other hand, we need to expand our sphere of influence and accumulate strength."

Jingzhou is a battleground for military strategists. We can use it as a base to connect with surrounding counties, recruit talented individuals, and expand our military strength."

Pang Tong frowned slightly and added, "What Liang said is absolutely true. Besides that, we also need to gain a deeper understanding of the weapons and tactics of Cao Cao and Sun Quan's camps."

Cao Cao excels at land warfare and has the help of players who are proficient in mechanics;

Sun Quan has a powerful navy, and in this battle we also witnessed the power of their sniper unit.

We must know ourselves and the enemy, so we can fight a hundred battles without danger. We can send elite scouts to infiltrate the enemy camp and gather intelligence."

Xue Tianhan thought for a moment and then said, "I agree with both gentlemen. Our new weapons played an important role in this battle, but they also exposed some problems.

We can organize craftsmen to improve weapons like the Gatling gun, increasing their power and stability. At the same time, we can strengthen weapons operation training for soldiers so that they can better utilize their weapons."

Xiao Qi couldn't help but speak up: "Those enemies' spells and special abilities shouldn't be underestimated, like the Night Owl's dark power.

Can we find some extraordinary people who are good at magic and study how to break it, or develop a spell to restrain them?"

Liu Bei nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "Everything you said is a good plan. Master Xue and Fairy Xiaoqi, you two are both extremely capable and have made great contributions in this battle. I hope you will continue to assist me in the future and contribute to the great cause of unifying the Three Kingdoms."

After Cao Cao's vanguard troops retreated to the camp, the player who was proficient in mechanical structure was frowning and discussing countermeasures with the generals of the vanguard troops.

"Although we have temporarily retreated this time, the defense of Jingzhou City is indeed beyond imagination. Especially the large Gatling gun, it is too powerful. We must find a way to break it." The player said with a worried look on his face.

The general stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well, you're right. We can try to create a more powerful spiritual shield, or develop a device that can interfere with Gatling gun fire. In addition, we must strengthen the training of the soldiers and improve their combat skills."

After the sniper team of Sun Quan's camp withdrew, Tiema Binghe Rumeng came to gather the team members to summarize the lessons learned from this battle.

"Although we caused certain losses to Liu Bei's camp this time, we also suffered considerable losses ourselves. Especially under Qingluan's space disruption spell, our shooting was greatly affected. Next, we have to study how to deal with this space spell and improve our shooting accuracy." Tiema Binghe Rumeng said seriously.

A team member suggested: "We can try to find some treasures that can resist the power of space, or find some people who have learned to deal with space magic to help."

In faraway Xuchang, when Cao Cao learned that the vanguard troops had failed in their attack on Jingzhou, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

"A bunch of trash! They can't even capture the city of Jingzhou!" He slammed the table angrily, and the teacups on the table jumped up.

Advisor Xun Yu stepped forward, bowed, and said, "My lord, please calm down. Jingzhou City is defended by Xue Tianhan and others, and they have many new weapons. It is indeed not easy to capture.

However, we are not without a chance. We can ally with Sun Quan and send troops together to increase pressure on Jingzhou City.

At the same time, continue to develop new weapons and tactics, and look for loopholes in Jingzhou City's defenses."

Cao Cao pondered for a long time after hearing this, then slowly said, "Very well, as you say. Send down the order, have all troops intensify their training and prepare for another attack on Jingzhou City."

In Jiangdong, Sun Quan was also discussing the next course of action with generals such as Zhou Yu.

"This time we joined forces with Cao Cao to attack Jingzhou. We thought we could take it in one fell swoop, but we didn't expect to fail at the last minute." Sun Quan said with a look of regret.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, waving his feather fan and said, "My lord, don't worry. Although Jingzhou City is difficult to capture at the moment, we are not without gain.

Through this battle, we have a deeper understanding of the strength and weapons of Liu Bei's camp. Next, we can strengthen the training of the navy and give full play to our water advantage.

At the same time, maintain close contact with Cao Cao and jointly formulate an offensive strategy. I believe that with our joint efforts, Jingzhou City will fall into our hands sooner or later."

After arranging the affairs in the city, Xue Tianhan climbed up the city wall alone and looked at the distant sky. He knew that the war was far from over and that all parties were accumulating strength and preparing for the next round of competition.

Jingzhou City, as the focus of competition among all parties, will inevitably face even more severe tests.

He secretly clenched his fists and silently swore in his heart: "No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will protect Jingzhou City and the people in it, and help Lord Liu Bei unify the Three Kingdoms."

As night fell, Jingzhou City was shrouded in silence. Yet, beneath this stillness, countless undercurrents surged. Various factions were secretly plotting, and a greater storm was about to strike.

The next morning, the sun struggled to penetrate the thick clouds and shone on the devastated city of Jingzhou.

Xue Tianhan got up early and went to the military camp to check on the soldiers' training.

After a night of rest, the soldiers were still tired, but under the supervision of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, their enthusiasm for training was high.

Zhang Fei, holding his Zhangba Snake Spear, roared loudly on the training ground, instructing his soldiers on spearmanship: "Everyone, straighten your backs! This spear must thrust out with force, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, understand?"

The soldiers responded in unison, waving their spears with great momentum.

Zhao Yun shuttled through the troops, patiently correcting the soldiers' movements. His silver spear flashed coldly in the sunlight, attracting the soldiers' admiring glances.

Meanwhile, craftsmen were busy in their workshops in the city.

Xue Tianhan found the most skilled craftsmen in the city and discussed with them the plan to improve the Gatling gun.

He pointed at the damaged Gatling gun and elaborated on his thoughts. "This barrel tends to heat up and deform after continuous firing. Can we add a heat dissipation device to the outer layer of the barrel, such as using special metal or spiritual power conducting materials? We also need to find a way to increase the reloading speed."

The craftsmen gathered around, taking careful notes and occasionally offering their own opinions. For a while, discussions were heard one after another in the workshop.

Xiao Qi, along with Lady Green Snake and Hu Meiniang, embarked on a journey to find someone skilled in magic. They traveled through the mountains and forests surrounding Jingzhou City, gathering information everywhere.

According to an old man who collects herbs, there is a hermit living in the deep mountains who is good at five elements magic and may be able to help break the dark power of the night owl.

When Xiaoqi and others heard this, they immediately rushed in the direction the old man pointed.

In Liu Bei's tent, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong were drawing a strategic map.

Zhuge Liang pointed to the counties surrounding Jingzhou on the map and said to Pang Tong, "Shiyuan, we must quickly restore these counties and gain more support from the people. Changsha County, in particular, is rich in talented people and will be extremely beneficial for expanding our army."

Pang Tong nodded in agreement and added, "However, these counties have suffered so many battles that it will be difficult for them to recover quickly. I suggest implementing a policy of reducing taxes and levies to ease the burden on the people and encourage agriculture and sericulture. Only in this way can we win the hearts and minds of the people and encourage them to join us."

At this time, Liu Bei walked into the tent and looked at the two busy figures. A gratified smile appeared on his face. "I am fortunate to have the help of you two gentlemen. I wonder how the progress is now?"

Zhuge Liang stood up and saluted, then presented the map to Liu Bei and explained their plan in detail.

After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. I'll trouble you and Shi Yuan to arrange this matter."

In Xuchang, the atmosphere in Cao Cao's tent was solemn. Cao Cao sat in the main seat, gazing sternly at the generals and counselors below.

"I, Cao Cao, will not be a human being if I don't avenge the failure of my last attack on Jingzhou!" His voice was low and full of anger.

Xun Yu stepped forward and said, "My lord, we have begun developing new weapons and tactics. According to our scouts, Liu Bei's camp is actively preparing, so we must also speed up our progress."

Cao Cao nodded slightly. "Pass the order down. Increase investment in the research and development of spiritual shields and jammers. Ensure they are completed before the next attack. Also, closely monitor Sun Quan's movements to ensure the stability of our alliance."

In Jiangdong, Sun Quan's naval camp was bustling with activity.

Zhou Yu stood at the bow, directing the soldiers in water combat training. "Everyone, hurry up! Pay attention to the coordination between the warships and maintain the formation!"

Under his command, the soldiers skillfully operated the warships and conducted simulated naval battles.

Sun Quan watched from the sidelines, a look of satisfaction on his face. "Gongjin, although we didn't capture Jingzhou this time, our navy has been strengthened. Next, we must continue to strengthen training to improve our water combat capabilities."

Zhou Yu bowed and said, "Rest assured, my lord. I will do my utmost. At the same time, we must not neglect our cooperation with Cao Cao and work together to find a way to capture Jingzhou."
