For a long time, Qin Dui, who was in good spirits, glanced at the woman lying on the bed godlessly from Yuzhu's body, and sighed with some pity, whether he had gone too far, but soon Qin Dui removed this idea from his mind, what are you kidding, compared to this woman wanting to kill herself, what she is doing now is nothing more than that, this is just taking some interest.

"Ma'am, why are you still here?" After Qin Duan came out, he found that Liu Yan was still in the dungeon, and asked with some surprise.

"I'll wait for my husband, my husband, I'll clean her, so that she won't be dirty and won't be liked by her husband in the future." Liu Yan said.

"This, let the female subordinate get it." Qin Duan said with some embarrassment.

"Husband, let's come with me, you go to Sister Crazy Dream, let her accompany you well."

Liu Yan said, but this name made Qin Duan a little confused, Liu Yan called Sister Crazy Dream, and Crazy Dream called Liu Yan her sister, this is really a confused name, but Qin Duan doesn't care about this, anyway, his women can get along peacefully.

"Okay."

After Qin Dui finished speaking, he left the dungeon, Qin Dui knew that Liu Yan was definitely going to torture the female assassin and didn't want to be here by herself.

Early the next morning, Qin Du immediately issued an order, ordering the 1st Brigade of the 1st Army and the original officers and soldiers of Tokugawa Castle who had stayed behind of 8,000 to patrol the city walls, and the 10 wings of the 2nd Brigade and the brigade directly under the 1st Division to guard the four gates respectively, and the common people were only allowed to enter but not out, so as to strictly prevent enemy spies from infiltrating and sabotaging.

Then, Qin Du ordered the officers and men of the four wings of the Fourth Brigade and the escorted baggage soldiers to set up the twenty giant trebuchets on the four walls of Tokugawa Prefecture as soon as possible, and to do their best to debug them and defend them at the same time.

These 20 trebuchets were originally intended to be used to strengthen the castle defenses of Tokugawa Prefecture after the war, and they had a long range and high lethality. The power is very powerful, and Qin Duan has asked all the artisan workshops in Tokugawa County to work together for several days and nights.

The female soldiers of the 3rd Brigade were sent to all corners of Tokugawa Castle to maintain law and order in the city.

The several measures taken by Qin Duan soon had a noticeable effect, and order in the city had been restored to normal. In particular, the bloody heads of several robbers who took advantage of the fire were hung on the gate of the competition, which deterred those who wanted to do wrong. Merchants also opened their shops and opened their doors as usual.

The work of repairing the city wall also went very smoothly, and the enthusiastic people even demolished the things of their houses when the materials were insufficient, which made Qin Duan very moved.

The progress of the moat cleaning and dredging is slow, due to years of unmanaged, many sections have been completely blocked, and it takes a lot of effort to dredge, but with the strong support of the people. Some progress has also been made, and it is estimated that it will take two to three days to complete the water connection.

The conscription also achieved very good results, and more than 10,000 people enthusiastically signed up in the afternoon of the same day, and after screening, those who had only children and those who were not physically fit enough were eliminated, and more than 7,000 people still joined the army.

That night, Qin Duan had a secret conversation with Shangguan Yonglun, and that night. Shangguan Yonglun led his more than 3,000 cavalry brigades out of the city quietly overnight and disappeared into the night.

That same evening. Qin Du ordered the 4th and 5th Brigades to take over the patrol work of the 1st Brigade, and ordered Li Dashan to lead his 1st Wing to be responsible for conducting a simple three-day training for the newly recruited 7,000 soldiers.

He also ordered Zhu Yongqing to take full responsibility for the training and establishment of the new organization, and strive to complete the reorganization within three days. Qin Duan also ordered the Fifth Brigade team to send out two wings, change into civilian clothes and disperse out of the city to collect intelligence.

After arranging this qiē, Qin Dui looked around with Liang Qiming, Zhao Dongcheng, and Xu Yongchang. The repair work of the city wall is in full swing, and the cleaning and dredging of the moat has also made great progress. He also ordered the heralds to immediately transfer the five wings of the Guards Brigade and the more than 7,000 recruits to work overtime overnight.

After inspecting all the lots, the sky has revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly. Qin Duan's spirit was still very strong, while the other three were obviously inferior to him, but they were all barely able to hold on.

"Your Excellency, when do you expect the Huns to attack us?" On the way back to the county guard's mansion, Xu Yongchang couldn't help but ask this question that everyone was very concerned about.

Qin Duan thought as he walked, and walked for a while before replying: "The enemy's main task at present is to snatch grain, grass and livestock, I estimate that the enemy has not discovered the abnormality here yet, but by tonight at the latest, the enemy's scouts will notice it." The enemy will definitely not give us much time, and I reckon the enemy should take action against us in four days. So we still have four days to prepare, and we must make preparations within these four days to deal with the upcoming big war. ”

"My lord, I'm afraid we still have to prepare some medical personnel, this battle will definitely not end in a day or two, our own army's medical team is definitely not enough, and there is no need to worry about medicine." Liang Qiming said

"At this point, I'm afraid I have to ask the two gentlemen to come forward to coordinate." Qin Duan said to Xu Yongchang and Zhao Dongcheng.

"No problem, no problem." Xu and Zhao hurriedly said that there was no problem.

Back at the Gunjo Mansion, it was more heavily guarded than it had been a few days ago, after all, it was the command center of the entire Tokugawa Castle.

As soon as Qin Du returned to the mansion to rest for a while, the guards came to report that the troops who had gone out of the city to reconnoiter had returned, and there was a report on the situation. After listening to the report of the reconnaissance troops, Qin Duan learned that the enemy had not yet discovered the changes here, and was concentrating on looting grain, grass and livestock in the countryside, and many ordinary people in the township were fleeing in the direction of Tokugawa Prefecture.

The second and third days passed quickly in the busy work, the repair and improvement of the city wall has entered the end, and the cleaning and widening of the moat is also progressing very quickly, Qin Duan attaches great importance to this work, because in the case of the enemy's lack of effective siege facilities, the moat can play a good role in delaying the enemy's attack, can buy a lot of time for the defending side, and will also greatly increase the losses of the attacking side.

On the fourth day after the battle, just after noon, Qin Dui received a report from the reconnaissance force that the main force of the Huns had arrived near the castle of Tokugawa, Qin Du sat on the chair and sighed, the efficiency of the Huns really could not be underestimated, it was a day and a half earlier than he expected, fortunately he did not relax, the repair of the city wall has been completed, and the work of the moat will also end in the afternoon, just in time.

Ascending the West City Tower, Qin Duan looked into the distance, only to see the yellow dust covering the sky in the distance to the west, and it could be seen at a glance that this was the dust caused by the rapid march of the cavalry of the large army. As expected, the enemy still chose the accustomed direction of Xicheng as the main direction of attack.

This judgment came from the contempt of the Hun cavalry for the defenders of Tokugawa Castle, because of contempt, they would habitually take the direction they came from as the main direction of attack, Qin Dui according to his own judgment, he boldly arranged eleven of the twenty large trebuchets on the west city wall, and only three on each side of the other walls, it seems that his judgment is correct.

Just as Qin Duan climbed the tower to observe the Hun troops, the Hun troops were busy camping in a group. After receiving a report from Tanma about the anomaly in Tokugawa Castle, Halibodo, who led the infantry on a mission to sweep and loot food, immediately sensed that this was unusual, and immediately sent the generals of the other troops of Kuama.

The large camp of the Rope army. After a period of chaos, the troops of Halibodo, Desima, and Harry Kaisheng had finished camping, and the three of them were also sitting in Harry Kaisheng's tent. The 100,000 troops sent by the Huns this time, Harry Qisheng was the commander-in-chief, and Halibodo and Desima were the deputies.

"Halibodo, tell me about the situation first."

Harry Qisheng in the center looked a little gloomy, after all, he was the coach, and if something went wrong behind this, he had to bear the main responsibility.

"Okay, I'll talk about it first. This afternoon, I led the infantry on a mission to collect grain and grass. The task of collecting troops in Tokugawa Prefecture was also completed smoothly, but the report of the Tanma found that many small groups of enemies were moving around, and a large number of displaced people poured into Tokugawa Castle, so I immediately sent scouts to find out, and found that Tokugawa Castle, which I thought had no defenders, actually had a guard force, the number of which was unknown, and I arranged for Hosaku to enter Tokugawa Castle in several groups with the local peasants who had fled into Tokugawa Castle, but until now, there has been no news of these people. ”

Because Qin Dui took the measure of only allowing people to enter but not to leave, and strengthened the management of the city's defense, no one was allowed to leave the city without Qin Dui's order. Although the Halibodo sent a small work that infiltrated the city, he could not leave the city, so he could not spread the news.

"It's impossible, every time we attack Tokugawa Castle, those officials and troops in Tokugawa Castle have already fled, and those who remain are just scattered by the rangers, how can there be many defenders this time, Halibodo, are you mistaken." Desima was skeptical.

"It's impossible, if the rangers were scattered, so many spies we sent out wouldn't have passed on even a little bit of news, and those displaced people who fled wouldn't have fled to Tokugawa Castle for no reason, there must be something we don't know about." Halibaldo said.

"Today I watched the guards on the walls of Tokugawa Castle, the number of people is not 5,000, and there are definitely not so many rangers, there must be something wrong with this, is it because the officials of Tokugawa Castle have become bolder? This is impossible, our spies found the main officials of Tokugawa Castle in Yufu in Tokugawa County, and they all fled to Yucheng with their families, and even tens of thousands of troops poured into Yucheng. Harry Qisheng said with some confusion. (To be continued......)
