Chapter 352: Give an Explanation
Since Lord Castle Guard expressed his concern and hoped that Meng Winding Red Dragon could tell the whole process again, he couldn't help but give Castle Guard this face.
It's just that he was really not in the mood to elaborate on the process, so he simply talked about poisoned arrows, saving people, and burning the equipment of the dynasty.
Those poisoned arrows are now piled on the city walls, and it is a matter of the obvious thing. It's just that he has an extra heart and didn't say anything about robbing the drawings, otherwise he would have robbed it again, just like the arrow that would explode, and he would have it.
At the end of the day, he took the opportunity to propose how to arrange the rescued clansmen, at least in Yitian City, there must be food and shelter, and there must be pills to heal injuries, as the city guard, he can't ignore these people, and this is what he cares about now.
After hearing this, Long Qifeng's face immediately turned bad, and he shouted loudly: "Counselor, where is the counselor? Didn't I ask you to arrange it? Don't you want to do it?"
The officials who came with them heard the city guard shouting, and they all became nervous, and they stretched out their heads and looked around, as if they were looking for the counselor.
In the midst of the noise, a group of people ran from the avenue to heaven, and the leader was a little old man with a pinch of white beard, who responded as he ran: "My lord, my lord, I'm here, what's the matter?"
When the little old man came, Meng Huan Chilong saw clearly, the little old man was the counselor who registered their military exploits that day, but he didn't know the name of this person.
Before the counselor could get closer, Long Qifeng asked majestically, "What are you doing? Didn't you ask you to arrange for these rescued clansmen?"
The little old man ran up to them and said breathlessly: "My lord, I am arranging their affairs, but I saw hundreds of people rescued just now, but it is not something that can be arranged in one or two rooms." So I took someone to find a house, and asked someone to prepare food and pills, and I didn't have time to tell them for a while, so I'll take them over now. ”
When Meng Huan Chilong heard this, he felt that he might have misunderstood the city guard and this counselor, because there were so many more people, and it really took time to arrange it. So he saluted the counselor and said, "Your Excellency, I thank you on behalf of the clansmen for making you tired." ”
The counselor is in the city of the Wu Nationality Kingdom, and according to the rank, he is actually at the same level as joining the army, but one is in charge of military affairs and the other is in charge of political affairs, so it is not bad to shout adults.
When the counselor got to know him, he waved his hand and said: "The leader is polite, you didn't say that you were tired of saving people, what is my errand runner, they are your clansmen, and they are also my clansmen, rest assured, I will definitely arrange them." ”
Meng Huan Chilong almost let the counselor be trained because of what he said just now, so he was polite and expressed his apology. But when he finished saluting, when he looked up, he saw that Liuka Coriander had not left, but was staring at the city guards beside him.
He hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Girl, you go and get busy, come to me when you have time tomorrow, I live in the Lei Chamber of Commerce." The meaning of this is that if you speak for yourself, the armor will be given to her, but the words are a little ambiguous.
Therefore, Liuka Coriander did not hear it, but rolled her eyes at him, but when she raised her head and looked at the city guards, her face immediately turned red, and she turned away from them, and walked towards the official who beckoned them to the station.
This performance made Meng Winding Red Dragon a little inexplicable, and he scratched his head and turned around, only to understand why Liuka Coriander had such a strange performance.
He saw that Long Qifeng and the others were smiling, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes, even if there was an indescribable deep meaning in his eyes, which made him blush, but fortunately, it was night, and he couldn't see it at all. He rubbed his hands together with some unease, and soon returned to his normal state, now was not the time to think about messing around, there were more important things waiting for him later.
"My lord, I thought that the Righteous Dynasty was attacking us just to grab some people and resources. Now it seems that they are going to exterminate us and occupy this land, as evidenced by their preparation for poisoned arrows today. ”
"What do you want to say?" asked Long Qifeng calmly.
"This is one of my conjectures, and if this conjecture is true, the battle that follows will definitely be fierce. I suggest that in the defense of the city, we also hunt and kill the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty with poison, and tell the soldiers that we must not give the people of the Duanzheng Dynasty any chance, and that one of them should be killed, and we must kill them by killing. He said this slowly, but firmly.
"Yes, I agree. These despicable upright dynasty people should all be killed. Teng Xinzun shouted first.
The captains next to him also nodded in agreement, because they were all people who had seen the poisoned arrows in the hut.
Long Qifeng pondered for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, it is a scourge for these people to stay. Qi Shui, arrange for the spirit witches in the army to make poisonous arrows and poison out, as long as they dare to attack the righteous people of the Heavenly City, let them all die here!"
"Wait, I still have an idea, although the poisonous arrows of the righteous dynasty have been burned, they will still make them, so we must also be on guard in this regard. You've seen the role of shields, and I suggest making more shields, preferably with one hand, so that you are not afraid of arrows. ”
Long Qishui looked at Meng Huan Chilong and said affirmatively: "I know." I was thinking about this just now, so I'll arrange it. "Then go to the side and arrange for the quartermaster to do these things.
"Although we burned their siege equipment just now, it is estimated that they should not attack in the next two days, and they have no means to attack such a high city wall. So we still have time, and I still recommend that there be a large-scale conscription now, the more people the better, so that we can replenish the army at any time. Because the Duanzheng Dynasty wants to drive us to extinction, it will definitely do whatever it takes to attack the city, and the casualties will definitely be very large, and if it reaches the point where there are no soldiers available, Yitian City will also fall. ”
Several military officers nodded when they heard this, Yitian City now only has 30,000 soldiers, and it is less than 20,000 to be able to fight, and there are 100,000 people in the Duupright Dynasty outside the city, and the number of troops is not enough, it must be a big problem in Yitian City, so this supplement of soldiers has become the main factor in whether or not Yitian City can be defended.
Long Qifeng listened to his words, looked around, and said hesitantly: "The matter of conscription must be done, and I have already arranged for someone to do it." By the way, what about Liao Wenhong? Did you find out about the war mobilization order, or should you explain it yourself!" he pointed with his hand to the official behind him.
Meng Huan Chilong looked over, and saw Liao Wenhong coming out of the palace officials, wearing a piece of armor, and standing in front of Meng Huan Chilong in good spirits.
He smiled slightly at Meng Huan Chilong, and said, "According to the instructions of Lord Cheng Shou, I have searched for nearly a hundred years of documents, when the Wu Clan Kingdom had a war with the Duanzheng Dynasty and the Angel God Kingdom a hundred years ago, the Witch King at that time issued an emergency mobilization order for war. In later documents, I did not find an official document canceling this mobilization order, indicating that this emergency mobilization order for war is still in force. ”
Meng Huan Chilong was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was not in a hurry, he just looked at Liao Wenhong quietly, waiting for him to give a comprehensive explanation later.
"According to the emergency mobilization order for war, during the war, all cities, towns, and villages can recruit personnel and organize the people's army to confront the enemy. The salaries and equipment of the people's army are solved by the people's army itself, and the military merits in the war are equivalent to those of the city guards, and are issued and cashed by the city guards. After the end of the war, the people's army was disbanded on the spot, and those who were unwilling to disarm and return to the field could be included in the local city guard army and belonged to the city guard army. ”
Meng Huan Chilong nodded, indicating that he understood, then looked at Long Qifeng, and said with a little hesitation: "This war emergency mobilization order can ease the problem of soldiers, and the city guards only need to be responsible for recruiting their own parts." However, in a short period of time, it may not be practical for someone in Yitian City to spontaneously organize a people's army, and someone has to take the lead in this matter. The castle keeper promised me that I would be in charge of organizing the people's army, but I don't know if that's the case. ”
Under the dim torches, Long Qifeng didn't speak, and looked at Meng Winding Red Dragon coldly, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
He didn't have any expression on his face, thinking in his heart, he felt that this was an opportunity to distance himself from Long Qifeng, and he must leave the city guards. So he thought for a moment and added a few more words.
"First of all, I feel that I have an advantage by putting me in charge of the civilian army. I come from the mountains and forests and am very familiar with them. The other is that I have been following this matter all the time and have my own thoughts about the people's army. If we can block the attack of the upright dynasty, it is estimated that there will be a stalemate stage later, when the people's army will enter the mountains and forests to contain or kill the soldiers of the upright dynasty, which is the role of the people's army. ”
Long Qifeng didn't speak for a long time because he was hesitating. During the day, he fell into the trap of the red dragon, which is equivalent to admitting that he was made to be the manager of the people's army. But after saying it, I regretted it. Leaving the Red Dragon away from his side made him worry that the Red Dragon would die in battle. The other is to leave his side, it is not easy to control this person, maybe other families will take advantage of it, then it will be in vain.
But he couldn't find a reason for a while, but he couldn't help but speak. "Tonight, you burned their siege equipment, bought time for Yitian City, and proved that you have the ability to command and can be the leader of the people's army. It's just that the city guard is not full now, and it depends on whether the soldiers can be recruited tomorrow, so the matter of the people's army convening the soldiers is still released first, and we will see the results of the city guard recruitment. "This is a common tactic used by officials, that is, dragging, and if reinforcements come, there will be no civilian army.
Meng Huan Chilong was anxious when he heard it, and knew that if he let it go, it would be delayed, and even if there was a civilian army after a while, he was afraid that he would not have anything to do. Long Qifeng's attitude was obvious, he wanted to keep him by his side, which made him even more nervous, afraid that during this time, he would force him to become a doorman, and he might have to entangle again.
"My lord, war is not only about manpower and material resources, but also about time. The recruited city guards and civilian soldiers must have training time in order to form combat effectiveness, so the subordinates think that this matter should be finalized now. If it is delayed, I am afraid that the city will be broken, and even if it is enough to recruit enough people, it will be too late. Although he was anxious, he did not dare to talk nonsense, so he had to explain the importance of this matter.
When Long Qishui heard this, he also stepped forward and said: "I think the recruitment of the people's army and the city guard army can be carried out at the same time, this is one thing, but the statement is different." Of course, the recruitment is mainly based on the city guards, and some older people who are willing to resist the upright dynasty can join the people's army. Listening to what Chilong just said, we do have a lot less manpower, so it is urgent to increase manpower. ”
