Chapter 13: Building a Fortress
Yes, my lord, I will go back immediately to report this matter to Lord Marquis, and the soldiers I brought this time, there will be a squadron that is good enough to leave for your lordship first, Xuan Ce said.
Well!, thank you, General Xuance, you have been a friend of my Senmu City since the order.
My lord, I'll take my leave.
Well!, go and wish the general a safe journey.
After Xuan Ce left, Xiao Wen asked someone to pass the order to be led by Slanka, and the cavalry of the squadron left by Xuan Ce.
Xiao Wen got up and came to the window of the study and opened the window gently, staying in the room with the firewall for a long time, a little depressed, Xiao Wen opened the curtain and looked out, thinking of the entire Senmu City, because of his own orders, the whole action was boiling, which made Xiao Wen a little excited, because he had the final say here, and he moved because of his own orders.
At this moment, even if the cold wind with a wind like an ice blade cut on Qinghuo's face, although it was very cold and painful, it could not make Xiao Wen's enthusiasm in his heart diminish, replaced by excitement and refreshment.
A series of shouts and killings came into Xiao Wen's ears, it should be that the soldiers are stepping up their training, although the soldiers are now very strong, but they are still almost in front of the Blue Wolf Army of the Kara Empire, so when the war comes, the soldiers still have to train hard.
Hearing this, Xiao Wen's heart was also secretly happy, it seemed that it was not wrong for him to call Slanka, Dewei and others as the leaders of these armies.
In such bad weather, they still insist on leading the team to train, which is very rare, but I don't know where the army of the Kara Empire has arrived now.
I ordered Slanka to send someone out to reconnoiter the situation, but I don't know what happened.
In fact, it would be good if the invasion of the Kara Empire could come a year later, the more time you have, the more fully prepared you can be, and the more hope you have for fighting the Kara Empire, and at the same time, you will have a great opportunity for development.
Xiao Wen opened the window like this and looked outside for a long time, letting the cold wind blow.
Lord Lord, be careful not to get sick!, Aina walked in at some point, walked in front of Xiao Wen and said, while helping Xiao Wen put on his cloak and close the window, then pulled Xiao Wen to the chair and sat down, and poured a cup of hot cocoa for Xiao Wen, and then walked to the root of the furnace wall, added some firewood to it, and made the fire burn more vigorously.
I'm fine, Aina, I've worked hard for you these past few days, Xiao Wen took a sip of hot cocoa, and said that in fact, you don't do everything like this, didn't I do those things according to the arrangement?, you just need to help me tidy up and clean the study in the future, if you feel bored, you can read the books I brought from the imperial capital, and learn how to manage things and take care of things.
No, Lord Lord, that's what a noble lady should do, Aina said as she stepped forward and hugged Xiao Wen, and I just want to stay by your side and do something I can do.
Xiao Wen touched Aina's face and said, you!, don't worry!, there will always be a place for you by my side and in my heart, so don't worry, you just do what I say, and I'm a little hungry, you are not going to eat, I am going to eat you!, and after speaking, he gently patted Aina's ass twice.
After hearing Xiao Wen's words, Aina ran to the door of the study with a shy smile, and then turned back to Xiao Wen and said, Hmph, I'm going to get food if it's beautiful.
Xiao Wen looked at Aina's back as she walked out of the study and smiled.
Then he sat on a chair and drank cocoa, looked at the map near Senmu City, and thought about how he should deal with it if the green wolf cavalry of the Kara Empire attacked, and how he should rely on his hands to protect the Senmu City that he had established.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wen looked at the map in his hand and smiled, and then sent someone to call Meng Feng and the garrison Dewei and the others over.
My lord, you are looking for us, Meng Feng and the garrison officer Dewei and the others asked after saluting Xiao Wen.
Well!, I came to you this time to ask you if you have any good ways to defend the coming army of the Kara Empire, or where we should defend the army of the Kara Empire, I don't know what your opinions are, so I will put them forward at will.
It's an adult.
My lord has two opinions on where we should defend the army of the Kara Empire, and the garrison officer Dewei stood up to Xiao Wen.
Oh!, two opinions, then you can tell me. Hearing this, Xiao Wen motioned to the garrison officer Dewei and said.
It's my lord, my subordinates think that this time the Kara Empire uses cavalry to deal with our country, and our response is only two ways, one is to use the same number or several times the enemy's cavalry to fight the enemy and repel it, and the other is to use the geographical location to build a small fortress for defense, and build some arrow towers around the fortress, and then order some marksmen to hide in it, when the cavalry of the Kara Empire arrives, the soldiers who defend the fortress will strike at their cavalry.
The first of these two methods is that our cavalry is too small to use, so our subordinates suggested that the second method be used, using the terrain to build a small fortress to defend the cavalry of the Kara Empire. Devi speakers have their own opinions.
It's a good idea to build a small fortress, but Devi do you think it's appropriate to build a fortress there, Chauvin asked.
Lord Hui, my subordinates think that this place can be used to build a fortress, you see that this place is located six miles south of our Senmu City, and the terrain is very good.
At the same time, it is more than 600 meters wide on both sides, and the terrain is high, which is conducive to building arrow towers, as long as we build a small fortress here, the cavalry of the Kara Empire can only break through, and the fortress we build can reach the territory, otherwise we can only be taken out of the way, and as long as the fortress is built, how can it be easy to break through that. Devi said, pointing to a place on the map that marked the canyon.
Well, yes, you should go to Olaf and Fashan Star and ask them to mobilize the inhabitants and craftsmen to cooperate with you in the construction of this small fortress. As for the army, Dewei will take two infantry squadrons from your garrison, led by the deputy garrison Bu Feng, and the crossbowmen of Mengfeng to garrison them.
It's the lord, and his subordinates will definitely handle this matter.
Well!, Dewei, you and Meng Feng, and Bu Feng will arrange it first.
In addition, Simar's archer squadron and Slanka's two cavalry squadrons, as well as the cavalry squadron left behind by General Xuance, should also be ready to fight at any time.
It's your lordship, we ask you to rest assured, we are always ready, your lordship, you fight, and Simal and Slanka answer at the same time.
And Jiamu, you are also ready to take the 30 Svadia heavy cavalry of the personal guard and me to the front line to participate in the battle at any time.
It's Lord Lord.
