Beginning on August 16, the city of Shouzhou was completely transformed into a lively and noisy military camp.

On the outskirts of Shouzhou City, all the troops took turns to go into battle, patrolling without gaps, and at the same time cleaning up idle people, etc.;

On the inner side of the city wall, the people of the whole city are bustling like a big gathering, under the leadership of the street representatives, looking for positions, arranging orders, and asking about duties, which is very lively;

And Lin Feng was not idle, and led a group of descendants and cronies to carry out "on-site office" inside and outside Shouzhou City every day - they first demarcated the location of a sixteen-meter command tower in the center of the city, and then drew out the positions of four ten-meter command towers on the inside of the four city gates, and arranged special personnel to urgently carry out the construction of the masonry tower structure; At the same time, 20 large gongs were ordered, and the contact code for emergency operations was discussed and clarified;

A group of people moved to the root of the city wall, and found a few places to excavate under the city, and found that there was already a place of water seepage four meters underground, which verified the statement that the groundwater level of Shouzhou City was high.

After a long period of comprehensive consideration, a group of people demarcated four concave defense circles around the four gates of the inner city wall, figured out and marked all the buildings in each circle, and respectively demarcated the wartime arrow storehouse, armory, and place where soldiers took turns to rest, and according to the principle of the shortest distance, delineated the route of each military stronghold to the city gate.

A group of people then walked up to the city, measured on the spot, and agreed on the location of the temporary heightened city wall in wartime, the construction method, and the technical specifications.

Later, a group of people walked around the moat, took a long bamboo pole to survey the spot, and cleared the sections of the river that needed to be dredged one by one, and arranged for the people to dredge it immediately.

After that, a group of people successively ran to the Beicheng Wharf and the Zhengyang Ferry Wharf in the west to discuss the defensive position of the wharf, understand the wind direction and the depth of the water level in previous winters, and personally drove the boat to test the water level in various parts of the river, and discussed together how to stop the enemy in the dry season.

After the last day, Lin Feng and his group went to Bagong Mountain to discuss how the Academy of Sciences and the factory could evacuate personnel and property during the war to minimize all kinds of losses. Lin Feng also specially pulled Ge Chang and ran to the side to secretly teach himself.

On the evening of 19 August, when Lin Feng and a large group of people returned to Shouzhou City from the east gate after finishing the defense outside the city, several street representatives immediately came up to report that the people at the east gate had basically established and formed a city, and according to the principle of two people in one place, from the head of the city to the bottom of the city, they had found their own defensive positions for each person, and they had gone through several drills.

Lin Feng inspected it on the spot, signaled all the people gathered at the city wall to disperse and go home, ran to the city head himself, and rang the half-human gong on the city head at a frequency of about three times a second, and then planted the yellow dragon flag representing the supplementary martial arts signal on the city wall.

As soon as the gong sounded, I saw men, women, and children running out of their respective homes on the East and West Avenue of Shouzhou, looking up to observe the flags on the city wall, and shouting to each other to remind each other to "go to the arsenal", and gathered in front of the eye-catching mansions on both sides of the avenue, and quickly formed two queues, passing the two empty scabbards from the end of the line to the head of the team.

Soon, the two scabbards were sent to Lin Feng from the upper city stairways on both sides of the city gate almost in order. The young man on the south side arrived three steps earlier than the young man on the north side, snorted proudly, and raised his head to demonstrate to the other side.

A group of people standing behind Lin Feng watched as their eyebrows fluttered, and they all praised this way of operation for being too efficient, which could be called a spectacle. Lin Feng, who was holding an empty scabbard in one hand, frowned tightly and was silent.

Xi Mucheng restrained his smile and came over to ask Lin Feng if there was anything wrong, and the others also found out that Lin Feng was wrong, and they all gathered around.

Lin Feng shook his head, pointed his head and looked up at the ranks of the people here, and concluded in a deep voice: "Don't talk about exaggeration, just talk about the problem!" First, the overall personnel arrangement is not perfect! I found that the existing home was far away, but it was arranged near the city wall, and of course it was impossible to arrive in the shortest possible time, resulting in a brief gap in the procession. In addition, there are several people in the team section, all of whom are women and the elderly, and it is easy to fall off the chain in a long-term and drastic work situation; The second is that the big guys are still not very familiar with their position, some people run in the wrong position, some people run in the wrong direction, which requires more daily practice; The third is that the overall team members are too close to each other, which is very labor-intensive, and it is more likely to be injured by the siege stones and soil masses, so the distance needs to be adjusted......"

Listening to Lin Feng's statements one by one, the smiles on the faces of a large group of people behind him slowly faded, and several street representatives who rushed here with smiles on their faces saw this scene, and their excited steps suddenly became light and slow, and they didn't dare to say anything outside the crowd.

Lin Feng unceremoniously continued to point out: "War is by no means child's play, nor is it a game! It is first and foremost a scientific work, and it must be constantly practiced, calculated, and improved in order to find the most labor-saving and efficient way. For example, if there are large defensive weapons that need to be replenished, can several sets of pulleys be assembled on the edge of the city wall and pulled up by manpower? Can the defensive stones of each section of the city wall also be transported to the head of the city in this way?

In addition, war is a systematic project, a protracted offensive and defensive war, which tests the comprehensive strength of a city's material reserves, personnel deployment, production capacity, mental toughness, etc., and all the details and details must be taken into account! For example, if the enemy attacks for several days in a row, how will our personnel eat, rotate, and go to the huts? If there are not enough arrows, should we add rest, cooking, eating, and simple weapons production factories behind the defensive ring to ensure that there is never a shortage of arrows? ”

Hearing Lin Feng's story, several generals in the army who were originally a little unimpressed also began to think solemnly like everyone.

Lin Feng stroked his throat, which was still a little hoarse, and no longer showed off, and finally concluded: "Each of you must learn to find loopholes, think about problems, and then find ways to solve them!" As for the specific regulations for the defense of the city, you should go back and discuss them together, come up with an overall emergency plan, and take into account all kinds of possibilities and difficulties, and the more fully prepared we are, the more likely we are to win this big battle. ”

A group of cronies should say yes in unison.

At this time, a street representative walked up with some hesitation, hugged his fist at Lin Feng and said, "Lord Lin, in the past two days, in order to prepare the arrow shaft, many of us have used up all the firewood stored in our homes, and it is difficult for us to find even a decent wooden stick in this area!" ”

Lin Feng groaned slightly, and saluted the representative's jaw: "Thank you for your reminder." From tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to start cutting down the big trees outside the city and Bagong Mountain, and then distribute them to the streets! ”

Wu Qiao walked up, pointed to a green shade outside the city that was higher than the head of the city with some hesitation, and asked unwillingly, "Lord Lin, do you have to cut down these big trees?" I think some of the big trees are at least 100 years old, what a pity to cut them down! ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a look of incomparably regretful, he came from the afterlife of very serious pollution, of course, he knew that without patches of verdant greenery, a city would not be a real city at all. However, now this is the time of war, not the time of mother-in-law, shook her head lightly, and said categorically:

"Cut! All of them were chopped! We don't cut it, we just leave it to our opponents to cut in vain, and make weapons to hurt us! Rest assured, we will have a long history of prosperity after this battle, and there will be countless bigger trees growing up in the future! ”

A group of people at the head of the city looked at the little green shade outside the city, and at the same time showed a pity and helpless expression.
