Chapter 20 Preparing to defend the city

At present, everyone has an understanding of the situation in the army, and the only thing standing in our way now is the baggage, whether it can be issued to the soldiers defending the city on time. Luckily, we were left with 2 days.

In this way, General Li and the others would go out to announce the beginning of the curfew at night after dark, and General Zhao led his army to camp under the northern city, and sent a horizontal patrol to ensure that there were no civilians in the distance from the Misty Mountains to the north of the city.

After the inspection was completed, the next day, General Li and General Zhao joined forces and dug a horizontal ditch every 3 miles starting from the Misty Mountain Range, ensuring a depth of 5 meters and a width of 5 meters, and filled it with fire oil to form the first barrier.

General Li is informing the generals of the Ministry of Engineering that the iron rejection horse must be made quickly, do not be reluctant to materials, and do a good job in front of the city wall, place at least 4 lines of defense, as the second line of defense, the last line of defense, is the city wall, in general, I don't know if you understand.

Hou Ye, what if the first two lines of defense break through?

If we break through, we will use our flesh and blood as the fourth line of defense, and we must not let go of any demon beast from under our noses, enter the capital, okay, let's go down and start according to the arrangement!

The army should not be invested all at once, but divided into 2 squads to start digging, 500 meters in front of the city wall, digging a moat 10 meters deep and 10 meters wide, diverting water and pouring water, this distance is also the range of bows and arrows.

General Li first invested his troops to dig in front of the city wall 500 meters, and General Zhao dug all the way from the mountain range, and must complete all the troops before dawn the day after tomorrow All the troops returned to within 500 meters of the city wall. The specific arrangement is being discussed the day after tomorrow, and if anyone can't complete it, military law will do it.

Be.... No generals were ordered.

Sending off all the officers, the old man leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead, he was not worried about defending the city at this time, there must be more than 600,000 people, just standing together and letting the demon beasts kill, it was enough for them to kill for a while, but what is the situation of Su Xiao now?

The monster tide is very dangerous this time, and even the samurai have not arrived, I don't know if it is safe, and no one will report it. Ay..... If something happens to this rabbit cub, how can I face the two of them, and my head hurts even more when I think about it.

However, at this time, Su Xiao didn't know that the demon beasts would attack the capital, and his grandfather was actually the guard general, and after this wave of demon beasts ran over, he carefully lit the firewood and ate a little bit of the horned venison that he didn't eat yesterday.

It is estimated that I will have to wait here for a few days, looking at the speed of this demon beast's running, not to mention the danger outside, it is estimated that it is more difficult to eat barbecue. I just stayed in the cave for a few days to avoid the limelight, I don't want to go out and become the target of demon beast hunting, just come to a second-order demon beast, I guess I will have to get a box lunch.

So, ah, I still slept peacefully for two days. I just finished eating it and didn't wait to digest it, the sound of the earth shaking came again, and I didn't bother to get up and look, this is not endless, when does this demon beast have to run, and I can't go back in this way.

It's been 6 days since the deadline of the 10th.,This was originally going to leave tomorrow.,Look at this posture.,The way back is more dangerous than going inside.,The demon beasts in the inner periphery are running to the periphery.,If you go back.,It's estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat.。

It's just that the inner periphery is running out of the periphery, and the periphery is not running out of the mountain range, if it runs out of the mountain range, it will definitely attack the capital. Isn't it dangerous to keep the capital in this way, if you can't hold it, what will grandpa and the old lady do?

Tengxia stood up, thinking of grandpa and the old lady, suddenly not calm, this has to go back quickly, otherwise if the old lady sees the demon beast attacking the city, she won't worry about killing me!

But how do you go back now? I didn't have wings. Here's how to do it. Headache.... It hurts.... Forget it, don't care, sleep first, and then talk about the situation tomorrow, if it doesn't work, go back secretly.

The next day, Su Xiao, who hadn't slept well all night, got up and walked to the entrance of the cave and looked at the waterhole outside, leaving several corpses outside, probably left after I fell asleep last night. It seems that it is really dangerous, and it must be very dangerous to go back now, and there is a chance that it will not be able to go back.

If you wait here for a few days, wait for the beast tide to pass, and go back, maybe the old lady will be sad, but in the end I still go back alive, the long pain is better than the short pain, I endure, endure and endure. Or go down and carry the wild boar, so that there will be food rations for three or five days.

Thinking of this, he jumped down slowly, bypassed the edge of the waterhole, walked to the side of the wild boar, and saw that this wild boar should be a second-order demon beast, its fangs were already more than two feet, and the neck was cut by something after the fatal injury, and the whole head was about to fall off, and the blood had already dried up.

Grabbing the front and rear legs, with a force on the waist, he carried the wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds, walked quickly to the cave, and then jumped down, found a few dead trees and hugged them, and began to live his own days of retreat, eating and sleeping... Sleep and eat, haha... That's not bad either.

......

Two flowers bloomed, one for each, and when Su Xiao was blessed and ate and slept, Su Xiao's mother in Su Mansion found the old man once.

Dad, it's been all these days, Xiao Er hasn't come back yet! I heard the king say that there are demon beasts attacking the city and buying weapons, Dad, is it the Misty Mountain Range, is it the Mountain Range that Xiao Er has experienced. Isn't it, Dad, is Xiao'er in danger?

Wan'er, don't worry, the general who defended the city this time is me, this time the demon beast attack on the city is indeed the demon beast of the Misty Mountain Range, Xiao Er has the shadow 3 people around him to protect secretly, I think there will definitely be no danger.

Dad, don't lie to me, listen to the people outside, the monster tide is all demon beasts running up, what do they encounter, what do they kill, can Xiao Er and a few of them fight the demon beast tide?

Wan'er.. I want to believe my father, I want to believe your son, your son will not joke with his life, the more anxious you are now, Xiao Er will also think that you are in a hurry If you run out at this time, it will be really dangerous.

The demon beast is running out now, and it will go back after the attack on the city, so running out at this time is really a death. So don't rush.

Okay Dad, the child is back, and you can rest early.

The next morning, Su Zhantian mounted his war horse and walked to the north city wall, ready to inspect everyone's preparations. There is still a distance from the north city gate, and you can already see the escort vehicles of the household department transporting thunder stone rolling wood, lined up in a row, sent to the bottom of the city wall, and began to unload, and the guards began to carry it up the city wall.

But I couldn't see an escort car from the Ministry of Industry, which was really strange. He drove his horse to the city gate, but was stopped by two guards.

This old gentleman, it is forbidden to go out of the city at the north gate now, if you go out of the city and change the city gate!

Oh? Why is that?

Old man, there will be a beast tide in the past two days, the king has ordered the god of war Su Lao Hou Ye to take command and personally guard the north city gate, so as to ensure the safety of the capital, for the sake of your life, now please please go back, please forgive me.

Okay, yes, yes, at this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves, driving .......

I haven't seen the old marquis.

Well, General Li, since you're here, accompany me out of the city, I was just about to go out of the city, and the guards didn't let me, good guards.

Okay, old marquis, please here, at present, the trench has been dug outside the entire city wall, and all the military headquarters have no one to rest, all of them are digging online, and the big trench outside the city gate has been dug almost completely, and it is almost time to introduce river water.

In the outer part, General Zhao ordered the soldiers to dig with all their might, taking the corps as a unit, one corps digging together, and an order has been given, if anyone finishes digging in the end. Hehe... From top to bottom, each has 30 large boards, so now the entire road surface is racing against time, for fear of falling behind and alas.

My side has ordered the following, once the trench excavation is completed, only the men of the 2 corps will be left to bring in the river water, and the rest of the people will all join the excavation in front, and strive for, before dark, the excavation work will be completed, and tomorrow the remaining part of the army will begin to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to build a rejection horse.

General Li, how are the strong bows, feathered arrows and strong crossbows of the Ministry of Industry prepared?

Back to the Hou Ye, the Ministry of Industry has been working overtime in the production, and invited a lot of ordinary people to help, the major businesses in the city have sold all the inventory baggage to the Ministry of Industry at a low price, Wang Shangyi is directly in charge of the Ministry of Industry with the Department of Internal Affairs, and must ensure that all the required baggage will be transported to the north city gate before dark tomorrow.

Well... Let's hope so, what do the civilians below say, what do they think about this attack on the city, is there chaos?

Back to the prince, I heard that you are in armor and in command, everyone's worries are a little less, only a small number of merchants with their families, under the pretext of going out to visit relatives out of the city today, most of the people are still producing, life is as usual, and even some mercenaries took the initiative to send suitable weapons to the Ministry of Industry for free, and asked to participate in the war, but did not get the permission of the adults, so the Ministry of Industry did not accept it at present, just said, wait for the king's decree.

Well, the people are willing to participate in the war, which shows that everyone still has ideas about this capital and has not abandoned this capital.

The two of them, who had already walked out of the city gate, suddenly heard a commotion coming from behind.

Official, we are all ordinary people, we have no malice to go out of the city, just want to help you dig a trench, we don't know how to fight, we can't go on the field to kill the enemy.

However, we have the strength to dig a trench and change the rest of the soldiers, only by resting well can we kill the enemy, yes, the officer, let's go.

General Li, let's go and see, since the people are willing to fight the enemy together, we can't chill the hearts of the people.

Okay, Master Hou, then let's go over and take a look, so how do you tell the people?

Let me tell you.

Walked back to the city gate, at this time it was already a mess, tens of thousands of people came one after another, but there was no radical behavior, just waiting in the direction of the city gate.

Everybody... Ladies and gentlemen, I am the leader of the Duwei Army, General Li, this is the god of war, Old Marquis Su.

It's the god of war... I remember, it was really the god of war.

The old marquis is a thousand years old, a thousand years old

The old marquis is a thousand years old, a thousand years old

............

Old Marquis, we saw that Wang Bang said that there were demon beasts attacking the city, and everyone lived in this capital, although we were the lowest people, we didn't have the weapons needed by the Ministry of Industry, and there were no merchants who had money to donate money and food.

But these ordinary people, who do hard work on weekdays, are not afraid of hardship, I heard that the old marquis in order to resist the demon beast attack on the city, asked the sergeants to dig a trench, but the old marquis, the sergeants, want to fight the demon beasts.

We, the common people, don't have the ability to kill demon beasts, we are willing to exchange ourselves for those sergeants to rest, we are on, what task you assigned to them, we will do it next, we will not be ambiguous, we must complete it on time and on time, and ask the old marquis to complete it.

Ask the old marquis to be fulfilled

Ask the old marquis to be fulfilled

One wave after another, one wave higher than another.

At this time, there were still people coming one after another, and the whole road was full of people who were coming, and more people were already bringing their own tools, carrying them on their backs, or carrying them in their hands. Just wait for the order, go and dig a trench.
