"Lord, there is an urgent military situation from Tianluo!"

Aunt Mei looked anxious, and hurried to the study and said.

Aunt Mei is the leader of Tianluo and Earth Net, so that the information can reach Dongfang Haotian's ears in time.

She can enter Dongfang Mansion directly and unhindered without hindrance, and come to Dongfang Haotian's study where he works on weekdays.

Dongfang Haotian put down the work in his hand, and asked with his eyebrows: "What kind of military situation is Aunt Mei that makes you so anxious?"

"According to the military information from the Tianluo Flying Pigeon in front, Yunwu Thirty-six Village has gathered 100,000 allied troops, and it seems that they are coming to Xia City. ”

"An army of 100,000 bandits is coming to Xia City?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Haotian, who had always been calm and stable, couldn't help but shake his body.

One hundred thousand bandit troops, more than the total number of people in the entire Xia City at present.

And this is not an ordinary rabble of mountain bandits, they are all strictly trained bandits.

It is the guarantee of the 36 villages of clouds and mist, and the three mansions of Qingyang Mansion, Pingchuan Mansion and Xizhou Mansion will not fall.

Dongfang Haotian asked in a condensed voice, "Is the news accurate, is their target really our Xia City?"

Aunt Mei Zhengse said: "Lord, this is information from Xue Ji personally, there will be no mistakes." ”

The four princesses of the wind and snow moon are talents carefully cultivated by Aunt Mei, and she believes that Xue Ji will never be mistaken.

"It seems that I miscalculated, and the Cloud Mist Thirty-six Village Alliance intends to come to take revenge and avenge the Bloody Village. ”

Dongfang Haotian's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters.

"With the speed of their march, it will probably take a few days before they can kill them. ”

"About seven days. ”

"Well, Aunt Mei, you immediately summoned General Pan, General Huyan, Hong Jiaotou, General Mu, Mayor Liu and others to discuss the matter. ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will go now. ”

......

Soon, Dongfang Haotian's core team members all came to the Dongfang Mansion Chamber.

After everyone sat down, Dongfang Haotian said: "Tianluo's Xue Ji just sent information from the flying pigeon that the Thirty-six Zhai Alliance of Yunwu Mountain has formed an army of 100,000 and is heading towards our Xia City, and it will be killed in about seven days. ”

"Huh, a hundred thousand troops?"

Everyone was also taken aback by the number of 100,000 troops.

Compared to the current Xia Cheng's less than four thousand soldiers and horses, this is undoubtedly an astronomical number.

The time is too short, and the current strength of the 1st Infantry Brigade is only the original team of the Mujia Army, and there is no time to recruit soldiers.

Mu Yingxiong said in a condensed voice: "Lord, 100,000 bandit troops is not a small number, no matter how we fight this battle, it seems that we have no chance of winning." ”

"The last general suggested that it is better for us to make a strategic retreat and retreat to Yunfu Mountain, the group of bandits has pounced, and they will naturally retreat soon after. ”

Pan Feng said coldly dissatisfiedly: "If you are afraid of death, you can get out sooner or later, don't disturb the morale of the army here." ”

"Damn it, as long as the lord orders it, the last general will definitely lead the brothers of the Wushuang Battalion to fight to the death. ”

Mu Yingxiong hurriedly said: "General Pan, I'm not afraid of death, but I just stay in Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, so why bother to send him to death." ”

Dongfang Haotian pondered for a moment, stopped the quarrel between the two, and said, "It is absolutely impossible to abandon Xia City and retreat to Yunfu Mountain. ”

It took him a year of hard work to build Xia City, how could he give it up so easily.

Moreover, there are a lot of materials and food stored in the treasury, and Dongfang Haotian will never give up easily.

"This time, it is an important challenge for our nascent Xia City, we have to rely on our strength to resist the attack of the mountain bandit coalition. ”

Mu Yingxiong arched his hand and said: "Since the lord has made up his mind to protect Xia Cheng to the death, the last general swears to live and die with the lord and Xia Cheng!"

The rest of the people also said: "Swear to protect Xia City to the death, live and die together, advance and retreat together!"

Mu Yingxiong is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and the rest of the people are all summoned characters or diehards of Dongfang Haotian.

Therefore, even if a strong enemy is coming, everyone's morale is high and there is no fear.

The time and place are favorable, and the conditions for people have been completed at this time.

"Good. Dongfang Haotian nodded, and then pondered: "The only way out for us now is to defend the city to the death, if we take the initiative to attack, the number is too small, and we will only kill ourselves." ”

"The bandit army can't take Xia City for a long time, and if the logistics can't keep up, they will naturally retreat. ”

"Therefore, the first step is to clear the wilderness and bring all the people and their grain into the summer city. ”

"In this way, the bandit army will not only get no supplies, but also protect the people of Xia City. ”

These were his private people, and Dongfang Haotian naturally couldn't give up on them easily.

Dongfang Haotian said to Liu Ru on the side: "If so, organize the people to enter the city, and you will be responsible for their temporary residence." ”

"Remember, you must be strong and clear, and not a single grain can be left for the bandits. ”

Liu Ru hurriedly swore and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best." ”

Facing the Qingyang Mansion that was about to be chaotic, Dongfang Haotian had long expected that a large army would attack Xia City, and it was necessary to organize the people to enter the city for shelter.

Therefore, a large number of temporary tents were stored in the storeroom through the Jubao Firm.

This is where it comes in handy right away.

Dongfang Haotian said again: "In fact, we only have less than 4,000 troops in the Wushuang Battalion, Tianwei Battalion, and the First Infantry Brigade. ”

"The villagers of Mujiazhuang have practiced martial arts for generations, and the rest of the people have also practiced many times in a year, and they know a little kung fu. ”

"You can temporarily organize 30,000 militia to assist us in defending the city. ”

Although these civilians have not been trained and cannot go to the battlefield, they are only defending the city, and even if they have not undergone orthodox military training, the impact is not particularly huge.

Then, he instructed Aunt Mei: "Aunt Mei, you order the people of Tianluo to keep an eye on the movements of the bandit army at all times, and I want to know their information accurately at all times." ”

"Yes, my lord. ”

"Okay, time is running out, let's all go our separate ways. ”

"Yes, my lord!"

......

In the following days, the whole summer city was in full swing.

A large number of people, dragging their families with their families, moved their own grain, poultry and livestock to Xiacheng.

In order not to pollute Xia Cheng, after leaving enough mother and male breeds, poultry and livestock were slaughtered and processed into meat.

In this year, Dongfang Haotian made the people of this summer city have enough food and clothing, and his prestige is very high.

Plus, they don't want to lose such a good life.

Therefore, the people were very determined to resist to the death, and they all obeyed Dongfang Haotian's arrangement.

This made Dongfang Haotian breathe a sigh of relief.

At a critical time, what I am most afraid of is that the army and the people are not united and add chaos to themselves.

At the same time, the Xiwang brick factory was in full swing, and batches of green bricks were produced.

Using these green bricks, all the craftsmen worked overtime to fortify the entire outer city.

Rolling stones, sassal wood, boiling oil, arrows, etc., which are used to defend the city, are also being prepared intensively.

Outside Xia City, a lot of tunnels were also dug, and the bottom was covered with bamboo thorns.

The elimination of the Thirteen Bandit Village and the Bloody Village, and the capture of a large number of blades, also came in handy at this time, and distributed to the 30,000 temporary militia of the organization.

If there are not enough blades, the militia can only use hoes, shovels, hammers and other things that can attack.

Seven days passed, and at this time the 100,000 bandit army was less than thirty miles away from Xia City.

A battle to defend Xia City to the death, a battle of life and death, is about to begin!
