Chapter 447: Self-Destruction (I) 2/2

"Whoa—oh—oh—"

With the crowing of the golden chicken, a new day has arrived, and the adult people of Yangcheng have heard the rooster crowing and get up early, and smoke comes out of the chimneys of each house.

Only children are snooze, and I am afraid that they will not get up until breakfast is ready, and they will not get up at the "call" of their parents.

The total population of the Dragon Tribe has exceeded 40,000, seven cities have been built, the eighth city is under construction, and the ninth city is being selected, with an average of 5,000 people in each city, and the population of Zhoucheng and Jicheng is less than 5,000, and the population of Yangcheng must be more than 5,000.

However, the proportion of juvenile clansmen in the Dragon tribe is relatively high, and the same is true in Yangcheng, so that among the more than 5,000 people in Yangcheng, there are only 600 adult male clansmen and only about 1,200 adult female clansmen, which is equivalent to the number of the Aoki tribe's army.

But don't forget, half of the field/battle army and city defense army in Yangcheng were transferred to become the escorts of the three trading fleets, and about one-third of the adult female clansmen were pregnant (including those who were about to give birth and those who had just become pregnant), and once the war broke out, the number of adult clansmen who could fight in Yangcheng was about 1,300.

The dragon tribesmen of Yangcheng did not know that the enemy was coming, and still carried out a new day according to their normal living habits, after breakfast, everyone was busy, the adult tribesmen carried out various jobs such as fishing, weaving, and carpentry, and the minor clansmen over the age of seven had to go to school, and the children under the age of seven were either playing at home or playing in groups of three or five.

It's just that this situation didn't last long, when the gongs on the three lookouts on the east city wall of Yangcheng sounded rapidly, the faces of all the clansmen in Yangcheng changed greatly, they knew that the rapid sound of the gong represented that there was an enemy attacking, and all the clansmen belonging to the four army systems of the field/war army, the city defense army, the reserve army, and the youth army immediately ran quickly, brought weapons, and gathered on the west city wall.

The non-Quad clan immediately gathered in several areas of the city, in order to prevent the enemy from breaching the walls and injuring them non-combatants.

The riverside fishermen are some distance from the city, and there is a special loudspeaker on the lookout platform, which can transmit the sound of the gong to the river, and when they hear the sound of the gong, the riverside fishermen quickly throw down what they have and run towards the city.

Time goes back to the previous afternoon.

The Aoki tribe army came to the jungle closest to Yangcheng on the east side of Yangcheng, and they wanted to rest in this jungle for one night, and tomorrow they would take Yangcheng in one go.

The only problem is that the cultivated land outside Yangcheng is very large, and the jungle closest to Yangcheng on the east side of Yangcheng also needs to travel through farmland that is several miles deep to reach Yangcheng, even if the army of the Aoki tribe runs fast when it comes out of the jungle, it will take a while to run to Yangcheng.

The leader of Aoki will not give such an order, running for several miles, the physical strength of the warriors will be consumed a lot, which is very detrimental to the next battle, it is better to stride towards Yangcheng.

The night passed, just after dawn, everyone in the army of the Aoki tribe woke up, had breakfast, and made the final arrangements, and after the final preparations, the army of 1,800 people of the Aoki tribe walked out of the jungle and strode towards Yangcheng.

Walking into the farmland, the low crops growing in the farmland could not cover the body of the warriors of the Aoki tribe, and the clansmen of the three lookouts on the east wall of Yangcheng saw from a distance that countless "villains" walked out of the jungle and stepped into the farmland, and the target was Yangcheng.

There is no need to think about it, no matter whether the person who appears is friend or foe, abide by the rules of the city's defense and deal with it as the enemy.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The next moment, almost at the same time, the three lookouts on the east wall of Yangcheng sounded at the same time, and the rapid sound of gongs announced to all the clansmen that there was an enemy coming, and the enemy was in the east of Yangcheng.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the dragon tribesmen of Yangcheng quickly put down the things in their hands, picked up their weapons and hurried towards the east city wall, the first to arrive the clansmen climbed the city wall in a few steps, looking towards the east, they could clearly see the enemy appear in their field of vision, many, many.

Hu Nan, the lord of Yangcheng City, and Snake Shou, the head of the Yangcheng Branch of the Ministry of War, came, both of them were dressed similarly, wearing black leather armor, holding a round copper shield in their left hand, only the weapon in their right hand was different, Hu Nan was holding a copper axe, and Snake Shou was holding a big knife.

Hu Nan and Snake Shou climbed the lookout one after the other and looked to the east, where they saw nearly 2,000 enemies.

"It's the enemy!"

"It's the enemy!"

Seeing the situation in the east, Hu Nan and Snake Shou both said with certainty that there were so many people at once, and the probability of being an enemy was more than eighty percent.

"Shou, I'll leave it to you next, and command the clansmen to defeat the enemy." Hu Nan looked at the snake guard and said seriously.

Hu Nan is the city lord, the snake guard is the minister of the soldier department, the ability of the city lord is more comprehensive, the minister of the military department is biased towards war, Hu Nan knows that his command ability is not as good as the snake guard, and he hands over the power to the snake guard.

"No problem, there are more enemies, but they are not our opponents yet." There was also a strong sense of confidence in the serious tone of the snake guard.

Most of the clansmen of Yangcheng have already gathered on the city wall, and even the clansmen fishing by the river are about to run into the city, and it is expected that before the enemy arrives, all the clansmen involved in the battle will gather on the eastern city wall and prepare for battle.

"Heralds, tell all the archers to kick the wall, and the melee ones wait under the walls." The snake guard shouted to the heralds under the watchtower.

Hearing the order of the serpent guard, the herald quickly conveyed it, and all the clansmen armed with bows and arrows climbed the city wall one after another, while those who were not armed with bows and arrows jumped off the wall and waited for the next order.

Regardless of the number of longbowmen and short archers in the field/war army and the city defense army, which together account for half of the total number, the real situation is that the archers only account for a quarter of the clansmen who can participate in the battle in Yangcheng, and the proportion of longbowmen is less than one-third.

After all, brass knives, copper axes, spears and other melee weapons can be used proficiently in a short time, and those who learn archery need a certain amount of talent and a long time of practice, especially longbows, which must be tall and strong, and most clansmen can only use short bows.

But these are enough, don't look at the number of enemies close to two thousand, as long as there are three hundred archers in Yangcheng, no, only two hundred archers, round after round of archery, can defeat these nearly two thousand enemies.

As the enemy approached, Yangcheng was able to understand more information, wearing a rattan shield rattan armor, the appearance of this rattan shield rattan armor knew at a glance that it was produced by the dragon tribe, a small number of people were holding copper weapons, and most people were holding stone weapons.

It can be determined that the enemy who arrived is the tribe that has traded with the dragon tribe.

"The closest to us is the Aoki tribe, can the Aoki tribe come up with so many people?" Hu Nan said suspiciously.
