It seems that there is not much time left for us, and at the speed of the demon beast, it is estimated that the vanguard will arrive at the foot of the mountain after dark tomorrow and start to attack the capital.

The old marquis, you see?

In this way, you order someone to inform General Zhao and ask him to come over to discuss the matter.

Okay, Master Hou, I'll order someone to go.

For a moment, swoop, old marquis, it will not be too late, please atone for your sins

General Zhao has worked hard, looking at the dirty General Zhao, the old man is still quite satisfied.

Well... Since the three of us have arrived, we will continue to give orders, and at present, General Zhao has 500,000 people, and General Li has 100,000 people in addition to guarding the capital, etc., so that 600,000 people are divided into two groups, and General Zhao leaves 300,000 people to continue to cooperate with the people to dig trenches.

The rest of the people immediately went to the foot of the city to camp at the foot of the city and rest for the night, and the 300,000 people who stayed behind were divided into front-line guards overnight, and the rest of the people all helped to build the rejection horse, if there was no iron and lead, then use iron and wood hearts. In short, it should be built as quickly as possible and filled under the city walls.

Be... I didn't do that.

Good... Go ahead

Old Marquis... Old Marquis.... Where are you

Master Hou is here, I don't know what's going on?

Old Marquis, the king and Lord Ouyang have already arrived at the city tower, and the king invites you and the two generals to the city tower to continue.

Okay, lead the way.

In front of the castle tower

Ministers see the king, long live the king, long live the king

Okay, you Aiqing have worked hard, don't care about these vulgar etiquette, the old marquis hurry up, you can't help it.

Old marquis, the king has come to express his condolences to you, the soldiers and the people below.

Xie Wang .....

You're welcome, old marquis, what's the current situation?

Back to the king, at present, there are more than 700,000 soldiers and civilians digging trenches on the front line, and if nothing happens, they can all be dug before dark. Tomorrow begins to dump the oil and bring in the river water.

However, according to the Tianji Battalion Kuaima Newspaper, the tide of demon beasts has been formed, and it is estimated that the vanguard will be able to leave the mountain range before it gets dark tomorrow, and it is estimated that the war will start the morning after tomorrow.

So how is the old marquis planning to defend the city at present?

Back to the king, as long as the trench is dug and the oil is poured in, the vanguard in the early stage, I am ready to let the army gather under the wall, and the ones who came in the early stage must be some beasts, not to worry, mainly the demon beasts in the back.

The minister is now waiting for tomorrow's Ministry of Industry to send all the city guards to the city wall, and the demon beast must be full of fire oil when it crosses the trench, and ignites the fire oil in the ditch within the range with a strong crossbow, then, the ditch that ignites the fire oil is like a wall of fire, and the high temperature can force back some of the demon beasts.

The beast that came in front of it was covered with fire oil and caught fire when it tried to cross the wall of fire. So, this is the first offensive, the fire offensive.

After passing through the wall of fire, it is estimated that 10 will not survive to two or three, and then there will be a river of water, maybe the king will ask, the front is fire, and the back is water, so the demon beast jumped in and didn't put out the fire?

It is understood that the monster beast will not have much water, after burning the skin, hair, etc., that is, if it does not die, it is also seriously injured, after jumping into the water, through the cold water, at this moment, the monster will die. So this is the second attack, the water attack.

After that, when a small number of monster beasts cross the water, wait for their iron rejection horse or iron wood heart rejection horse, sharp rejection of the horse can effectively hinder the running of the demon beast, on the one hand, the rejection of the horse can kill some demon beasts.

The rest of the people dodged and rejected the horses and slowed down, so the tens of thousands of archers on the city wall, as well as strong crossbowmen, fired ten thousand arrows in unison, this is the third line of attack Prepare for attack.

Of course, there must be some of the remaining high-level demon beasts that will come to the bottom of the city wall and start climbing, and at this time, the spear will pick the demon beasts under the city wall. This fourth attack, picking on the city and attacking only.

The last line of defense is our flesh and blood, and if we encounter a large number of demon beasts coming to the city, all our soldiers with knives will come forward and slash. Make sure the walls are safe.

Kindness... The old marquis arranged it properly, and I am deeply pleased. I don't know if the old marquis still has any needs that I need to deal with?

The king, the most important thing is the baggage of defending the city, and the minister's idea is to shoot all the demon beasts under the wall, which is the best, but with bows and arrows, the strong crossbow has not yet been in place.

Okay, don't worry, old marquis, I will immediately go back and issue an order, mobilize the craftsmen with skills in the whole city to build the right of the Ministry of Works, and make every effort to buy bows and arrows in the whole city, and ensure that all you need will be under the city wall when it gets dark tomorrow.

The minister thanked the king.

Well... Looking at the hot scene below, I am deeply grateful, Ouyang Tianshi, the household department must distribute the money and grain on time and according to the shares, if there is a private deduction, it will not be spared.

Be... Your Majesty, the Ministers obey the Command.

Then you are busy, I will go back to the palace first, and wait for your good news.

Congratulations to the king, long live the king, long live the king.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the morning the city was already full of people, and everywhere the people who preached the king's benevolence and gave strength money and food, saying that they didn't want money today, and were helping to transport supplies and build a horse rejection.

Wake up in the morning, butler... Steward, how much surplus food is there in our house, is it enough to distribute a little to the household?

Back to the master, the surplus grain in the house is not enough for the monthly surplus and cannot be distributed, but the master mother has already instructed the grain shop to send the stored grain over.

Okay, we can't be left behind, now we are all on the defensive side, so if you give the order, all the shops will not be open today. All the juniors, in charge and so on, were all taken to the house to settle down, and arranged for guards to guard the courtyard. Ensure the safety of the house, and as for Wan'er's safety, you can also arrange for it.

Yes, sir, I'll arrange it, so who are you?

I went to the north of the city to see, what is the situation with the baggage, this demon beast is almost here, and my heart is always unsteady.

Okay, sir, do you need to arrange a personal guard?

No, I'm old though. But he is also a general, not so weak, you can't help it, you go down and arrange it.

Okay sir, then I'll step down.

Well... Strolling to the gate of the mansion, there were already guards with war horses, riding up, running to the north city gate, just arrived at the north city gate, General Li greeted him from the top of the gatehouse, and saw the old marquis.

Well... Excuse me, how's it going?

Back to the old marquis, received a report from the Tianji Camp, there have been scattered beasts running out of the periphery, the number is not large, it is estimated that it is caused by the demon beasts running on the periphery last night, the impact is not great, and it has not yet touched the trench, all the trenches have not been poured with fire oil before the order has been ordered in the morning, and the moat has been filled with water.

Well, the preparation is good, but what about the rejection?

Back to the old marquis, the rejection of the horse is already in a hurry, and the previously built ones have begun to arrive outside the city gate and begin to be arranged. Later, the old marquis needs to go and see it in person and assign it.

Okay, I'll take a look later, but what about the other baggage?

Back to the old marquis, the crossbows have been arranged, and the 3,000 crossbows have all been arranged on the city tower, and the position has been adjusted. There are less than 30,000 strong bows, more than 1.1 million feather arrows, and more than 80,000 spears, and the Ministry of Industry has sent people to say that before dark, they must come to gather 50,000 strong bows, 1.2 million feather arrows, and 100,000 spears.

Okay, gather all the soldiers before dark at night, and start assigning tasks, pay attention, under the communication between you and General Zhao, the feather arrow battalion will all be put together to form a feather arrow regiment, and the spear battalion will be put together to form a long spear regiment, and the rest will be put together in 3 phalanxes, and then ordered after the specific dark gathering.

Good... Old marquis, I'll arrange it.

A day passed. In the evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the old man, who had been standing on the castle tower for two hours, finally sat down.

Report..... Ministry of Works, Lord Xu arrived.

Meet Lord Hou

Well... Lord Xu is exempt, I don't know why Lord Xu is here?

Back to the old marquis, guarding the city with all the baggage to gradually arrive in the city, I came to pay respects.

Lord Xu, how much weight do you weigh?

Back to the old marquis, as of now, I have added more than 68,000 new enhanced bows, 1.35 million new bows and arrows, more than 800 new crossbows, and 120,000 new guns. 5,800 barrels of oil were added, and 200,000 other weapons were added.

At present, he has been gradually sent to the city wall under the escort of the people in the city and the capital guards, waiting for the next instructions of the old marquis.

Okay, thank you, Lord Xu, you're tired.

Not tired, not tired, tired of the craftsmen, as well as the craftsmen of the various weapon shops in the city and the people of the city, most of them are increased by the people of the whole city, we also registered one by one, returned when they were used up, and if it was damaged, we would compensate for it or give a new weapon.

Good... Not bad.

The subordinate retired.

Go ahead

It was getting dark, and General Li and General Zhao below had already begun to count the troops and began to line up.

Looking at the troops below, I remembered the decisiveness and high spirits of my youth. Alas... It's not okay to be old, go down, you can't let the soldiers wait too long.

Downstairs, I walked in front of the army, where hundreds of thousands of troops stood, densely packed, and could not be seen at a glance. All Hengwu is powerful, he is a soldier, where are General Li and General Zhao?

Not in, not in

Let all the commanders of the whole army gather at the front and discuss the enemy.

Be... No generals were ordered.

In less than a moment, all the legion commanders arrived at the front of the team, 8 of the Du Wei Army, 20 of the Tianwei Army, and when they saw that all the corps commanders had arrived, they said: The leader is the Bow Battalion, take a step forward, 2 people from the Duwei Army and 5 people from the Tianwei Army.

Listen to the seven of you, your task now is to take your regiments to the bottom of the city wall to receive bows and arrows, one strong bow and 10 feather arrows for each person, and then go up to the city tower, and you can arrange the position by yourself, and after the position is arranged, hold the arrows and rest in place. No one is allowed to shoot arrows with bows without my orders, do you understand?

Got it.

All the pikes were out of the ranks, 3 more people came out of the Duwei army, 7 more people came out of the Tianwei army, and 10 of you led your subordinates to receive the spears under the city wall, and then according to the position of each regiment, 5 people were distributed in a row of balanced crosses behind the rejection of horses.

If the demon beast is hindered by the rejection of the horse, you must not come forward to assassinate it, if there is a demon beast that crosses the rejection of the horse, you must ensure your own safety, and kill the demon beast with all your might. If there are many demon beasts, listen to my horn and retreat in order with all your might, do you understand?

Got it.

The rest of the departments are scattered on the city wall, on the one hand, to transport feather arrows for the archers, and secondly, if there is a demon beast on the wall, you must have the right to kill, and you must not leave a demon beast over the city wall.

Got it

Where is the Heavenly Machine Camp?

The lower official is here, please ask the Hou Ye to command.

Immediately, quickly investigate the dynamics of the demon beasts, report if there is a probe, and then cooperate with the capital guards to carry out vigilance work, as long as there are demon beasts attacking, immediately blow the horn of attack.

Be.. The subordinate officer received the order.

Time had passed in the movement of all the soldiers, and all the departments had been put in place, and countless torches had been lit outside the city walls, illuminating the entire ground thoroughly. Suddenly, an eagle whistle came.

Old Marquis, many demon beasts appeared in front of them, and they had already crossed the mountain range and came in the direction of the capital.

Blow the trumpet, and all be on alert.

All the sergeants heard the sound of the horn and stood up straight.

As time passed, the screams of the monsters began to come, and the vibration of the ground became stronger and stronger.
