A month passed in an orderly manner. During this month, Ma Yun injected some mysterious energy into Tong Guanshan and Qin Ming every few days.

Tong Guanshan may be because he is about to enter a high-level martial artist, and the effect of strength improvement is not obvious.

The effect on Qin Ming's body has improved a lot, originally Qin Ming only had the strength of eight hundred catties, but in one month, he already had the power of a thousand catties, and he steadily entered the ranks of intermediate martial artists. In addition, coupled with the mad demon marksmanship and the gentian gun, he is also a master among intermediate martial artists.

What gave Ma Yun a headache was that the second line, the speed of cultivation was too slow, and after a few months, it had advanced a short distance.

Now the biggest problem facing Xiong'an Village is the problem of manpower, Tong Guanshan's more than 70 brothers, several are intermediate martial artists, the rest are junior martial artists, these people are well-trained, plus sophisticated weapons, combat effectiveness is very amazing.

It's just that the one hundred and eighty soldiers selected from the people, although they have been trained for several months and have a good formation, but in fact, there are not even many junior warriors, and they have not been baptized on the battlefield, so they are embarrassed for a while.

Fortunately, the power of the seven-star arrow array is beyond Ma Yun's imagination. Now that he has just been training for more than a month, with Tong Guanshan's skills, he has been left and right under the arrow array, not to mention rushing over to defeat the arrow array, it is very good to be able to not be injured under the arrow array.

If Ma Yun stimulates the mysterious energy with all his strength, he can easily defeat the arrow array, but Ma Yun in that state, even a high-level martial artist can be killed in one or two moves, which is not enough to measure the power of the arrow array.

There are now about fifty sets of black iron armor, and it is not enough to achieve one set per person, but it is enough for the time being to charge the trap.

The little white dog, now mixed in the cottage, left and right, not only Ling'er, but also Wen Wan'er, Shangguan Feng and others love it, wash it cleanly, and hold it in their arms from time to time, not only can enjoy the tenderness of the crisp chest, but also kiss Fangze, and Ma Yun is envious of it.

Looking at the little fat dog shaking his head and tail, Ma Yun resolutely ignored everyone's opposition and named it Bajie.

Ma Yun found that the vigilance of the eight precepts was abnormal, sometimes he also heard the footsteps he had just heard, judging from the reaction of the eight precepts, he obviously heard it, which made Ma Yun very happy, and in the future, there were thieves sneaking in, and there was also an additional way to warn.

At the same time, a shocking news came: the city of Qiqi surrendered, and the two cities of Guanghan and Yongchang surrendered together.

King Lu's soldiers took the city of Qiqi without blood, thus unifying Jiaozhou, with an army of more than 200,000 under his command.

Among them, 30,000 troops were stationed in Yuejuncheng to guard against Yuezhou in the north, 100,000 troops were stationed in Qianweicheng, and 70,000 troops were stationed in Guanghan City, which had the intention of attacking the eastern part of the city.

At this time, the Qianwei City Lord's Mansion was holding a grand banquet to congratulate King Lu on his dominance of Jiaozhou, until midnight, the drunken King Lu returned to the study with the support of everyone.

When everyone retreated, the drunkenness on King Lu's face was swept away, and he turned into an indifferent son again.

"Ghost policy, Jiaozhou has been unified, what are your plans next?"

"Lord, the next thing is to wait, wait for the opportunity, as short as a few months, as long as a year or two, then the king of Yuezhou Duanwang will fight to the death with Qin Xiong of Liangzhou, and then we will sit and reap the profits; but before this we must send troops to attack the state, so that they think that we will take the state as the next target; ”

"Well, this is the same as what this king thinks, but these days, this king has always had a sore spot in his heart, you should know it!"

"The prince will not have to hurt soon, now that Jiaozhou has been leveled, and the prince's soldiers are full of food, it is time to level the Black Wind Village!" Although the Black Wind Village has long been renamed Xiong'an Village, in the eyes of King Lu, it doesn't matter what the name is.

"Pass my order, Liu Shiyu is the commander, Yao Gang is the deputy marshal, and 6,000 elite soldiers will be drawn from Qianwei City, and Xi Jian's 4,000 soldiers will also be brought, and grain and grass equipment will be prepared. The army set off within five days, and must arrive at Jiayuan City within 20 days, and then ordered Yongchang and Tong'an to transport all the boulder carts to Jiayuan City, and when Liu Shiyu's army arrived, they immediately sent troops to attack the thief village. Along the way, the forest was cut down, the water was filled, and the army and the boulder cart were driven directly to the Black Wind Village, and the thieves in the Black Wind Village were killed, not one of them was left!" King Lu seemed to remember some scenes and sneered.

"The king... Lord Wang, isn't 10,000 people a lot? With General Liu's talent, 2,000 people are enough. Ghost Ce asked cautiously.

"Attacking Heifeng Village is just a thing, and Xi Jian's four thousand soldiers are also very uneasy. ”

"Lord Wang, then why don't you send him to attack Nashi Sun Xian, the two already have a great enmity. ”

"That was Xi Jian's original territory, and the king was worried that if he won, he would directly reverse it. On the contrary, the small Black Wind Village, there are only a few hundred thieves, let him lead the troops to charge forward, even if he complains, he can't disobey the army's orders. ”

"My subordinates understand, Lord Shengming, I'll go and give the order. ”

Just after King Lu decided to attack Xiong'an Village, Ma Yun, who was thousands of miles away, also had a strange feeling.

"I'm afraid that this time there will really be a bloody battle!" Ma Yun stood on the highest peak of Xiong'an Village, looking at everything quiet around him, afraid that it would be another tragic scene soon.

"The owner of the village, the spies have reported that more than a dozen boulder carts have been transported to Tong'an City recently, and it seems that they are about to make a move!" In the Juyi Cave, Tong Guanshan looked anxious.

"What are you afraid of, didn't you come to eight boulder carts last time, and they were all captured by us without firing a single bullet. Qin Ming's face was full of anticipation.

"Brother Qin, I'm afraid that this time the visitor will not be good. This time, King Lu has pacified Jiaozhou, and his soldiers are well fed, and with the lessons of the previous times, this battle must be prepared. I'm afraid there will be thousands of soldiers and horses coming this time!" Ma Yun also looked solemn.

"It doesn't matter how many people come to it, it's the same as last time, rush to kill, if you can't kill, you will flee back to the cottage, and then continue to kill after resting, it's not fun to come less!" Qin Ming still disagreed.

"Brother Qin, you can't underestimate the enemy at any time, you have to prepare more, you have to learn from General Tong about this!" Gao Tang said on the side.

"Hmph, my old Qin only knows how to kill the enemy, and you have to prepare for it!"

"If there is a battle this time, it is mostly a method of using troops and defense in the mountains and forests, and it is difficult for the formation to play a big role, and it is necessary to rely more on the right time and place!" Shangguan Feng said in a solemn voice.

"Mr. Shangguan's words are extremely true, first of all, be prepared to be besieged. There is no problem with grain and grass, but the bows and arrows for defense are insufficient, not to mention that in the mountains and forests, the power of bows and arrows is greatly reduced, these days let the soldiers harvest more wood nearby, the more the better, the wood must be tightly covered with soil, even if it is hit by a fire bomb, it will not burn, and this matter will be handed over to Brother Tong, you are responsible. Tong Guanshan nodded.

"Brother Qin, your subordinates will temporarily stop mining and dig stones from the mountain wall, the bigger the better, and the dug stones will be transported to several boulder carts, the boulder carts don't have much ammunition, so they can only be used as stones. ”

"Don't worry, no problem!"

"Mr. Gao, it's up to you to install the rest of the boulder carts, and you must be sure to protect yourself from being hit by the enemy's boulder carts. ”

"Young man, please rest assured, I know it in my heart. These eight boulder cars, as long as they are used properly, will definitely be able to take more than a dozen lives with each launch, and besiege Xiong'an Village, how can it be so easy!"

"Mr. Shangguan, the war is coming, and the cottage will inevitably be attacked by boulder carts, and those houses built on flat ground will definitely not be able to withstand the destruction of boulder carts, so you are responsible for settling the old and weak women and children into the stone cave in the inner pit before the war. ”

"Yes!"

"I'm in charge of arranging a few boulders on the mountain path, and once the enemy reaches the bottom of the mountain, I will use the boulders to seal the mountain road. After the enemy retreats, use the trap to restore the boulder. That's all I can think of, I wonder if there is anything else to add?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and Shangguan Feng said slowly: "Xiong'an Village is built in the Black Wind Mountain, although there is only one dangerous road in and out, but if the enemy climbs up from a mountain wall somewhere around, it is also a strange move. This matter has to be guarded against. ”

This is very true, if a few thieves with strong martial arts are mixed in during the war, they will definitely be in chaos. Tong Guanshan nodded.

"This matter is my negligence, Mr. Gao also told me a few days ago, and ordered his apprentice to make some early warning mechanisms, but they have not been placed on the mountain wall, this matter is up to me to do it personally, put those organs on the mountain wall, and it should be able to be completed in a few days. ”

The group deliberated on some more details, and only after making sure that nothing was left out did they go about their work.

After another half a month, the spies came with new news: King Lu's 10,000 army, commanded by Liu Shiyu, the number one fierce general under his command, had arrived in Tong'an City, and without making any stops, he took a boulder cart and headed towards Xiong'an Village.

After getting the news, Qin Ming was extremely excited: "Haha, the thief is finally here." First, like last time, give the enemy a head-on blow!"

"This time and that time, this time, Brother Qin!" Ma Yun shook his head.

"Why not!" "Last time the thieves only came with more than 1,000 people, and we brought a repeater, each with ten black iron arrows, to defeat the enemy and collect most of the black iron arrows. But this time it's more than 10,000 troops, even if we have more than 1,000 black iron arrows now, how can we get them back after shooting!"

"As a fierce general under the command of King Lu, I have heard of it, and his martial arts have already reached the realm of a high-level martial artist, and he is proficient in the art of war; there are eight hundred Red Flame troops under his account, all of them are brave and good at fighting, well-equipped, and their combat strength is not below my brothers, but when it comes to fierceness, my brothers are far behind. If it's a positive purchase, it's not a wise move. ”

"Forget it. Qin Ming said curtly.

"Then use static braking, and respond to all changes with no change!" Ma Yun is still confident in the defense of Xiong'an Village. Early warning organs have been set up on the cliffs on all sides; the only mountain road is rugged and precipitous, plus a few boulder mechanisms, which can easily block the mountain road to death; the front of the walled gate has long been covered with boulders and trees, and it is really impossible to open it!

There are also eight boulder cars, except for the two at the gate of the wall, the remaining six have been placed in hidden places, it is difficult to be hit by foreign objects, and it does not affect the external launch!

During the Three Kingdoms, Hao Zhao used only 1,000 soldiers and horses, faced Zhuge Liang's tens of thousands of troops, and held on to Chencang City, this is the story that Ma Yun has always admired, and now he has 300 soldiers under his command, facing Liu Shiyu's 10,000 army, can't he hold it?

This Xiong'an Village is far more precipitous than the small city of Chencang, how can Liu Shiyu compare with Zhuge Liang, this battle is won, and it is not as good as Hao Zhao's record back then!

Everything is ready only to owe the east wind, wait for three days, Liu Shiyu's army still did not arrive, the spies reported, this Liu Shiyu actually encountered mountains and mountains, cut down forests, and repaired bridges when encountering water, and the army built roads while marching, but wherever it is possible to encounter ambushes and raids, a wide road must be opened, so that the marching speed is extremely slow, and the distance of dozens of miles will take about ten days to arrive.

When Ma Yun received the report from the spy, he was also stunned for a while: This Liu Shiyu is too steady and steady, not to mention that he doesn't want to sneak attack, even if he wants to sneak attack, he has no chance!
