Chapter Twenty-Three: The Werewolf Army Is Coming

"Werewolves are coming to the city in seven days?" Shaoyang heard Locke's words when he left, and he could no longer handle the official document with peace of mind, his brows were tight, and he held the pen in his hand with a heavy hand, and spent a copy of the official document.

Regardless of whether what Locke said was true or not, Shaoyang knew that he couldn't ignore it, time was running out, the new army had not yet been trained, the equipment was not complete, and the combat power was limited, so I am afraid that there was only one way to stick to the city. For a while, even if he racked his brains, he couldn't think of any other feasible way, so he could only order his attendants to gather everyone to discuss.

......

The atmosphere in the government hall was suffocating, and everyone present heard the news that the werewolf army of 10,000 would arrive within seven days, and their faces became not very good-looking, and they sat there without saying a word.

Originally, because the expansion of the army was going smoothly, an elite army could be formed in time, and the people of Songhai City were worried about werewolves a lot, but they didn't expect to suddenly hear such a news now, which was too unexpected.

Time came too quickly, and since the orcs were not good at farming, they usually came to loot after the autumn harvest to obtain a large amount of newly harvested grain. So much so that many towns deliberately abandoned certain villages, allowing the orcs to grab enough food earlier, so as to end the plunder.

There are too many werewolves, and an army of 10,000 werewolves is no longer an ordinary raid or revenge, in a sense, it will be a war.

If the time is a little later, or the number is less, with the current military strength of Songhai City, the werewolves are not worried. It's a pity that there are no ifs.

Looking around at everyone in the hall, including Zhao Yun, they were all worried, Shaoyang felt the solemn breath in the air, and he didn't want to open his mouth when he was suppressed, but he had to face the fact that the werewolf was coming.

"Zilong, how is the training of the new army of the Pu Daobing, can it deal with the upcoming war with the werewolves?" In Shaoyang's heart, the werewolf's revenge this time has been escalated into a war.

Zhao Yun pondered for a while, and said his opinion on the new army: "The training time of the new army is still short, and the equipment is insufficient, I am afraid it will be difficult to form combat strength. ”

In short, no war.

Regarding the evaluation of the combat strength of the new army, Shaoyang expected, even so, he couldn't help but sigh: "Hey~".

Looking at the others, they still sat silently, without any intention of taking the initiative to speak. I convened everyone to discuss, wasn't it just to come up with a countermeasure, but I didn't expect such a scene to occur, and I couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Don't the others think of a solution? Don't worry about whether it will succeed or not, let's talk about it together. Shaoyang asked, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

The administrative officials and other civil officials lowered their heads and shook their heads, not daring to raise their heads to meet Shaoyang's gaze, and they didn't know what they were thinking about in their hearts.

Xu Sanmu looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, every time he wanted to speak, he stopped before he could say anything, pursed his mouth and shook his head gently, as if he had rejected his idea.

It seemed that it was impossible to get a good idea from them, so Shaoyang had to give up his thoughts and prepare to stick to the city according to his original idea, but the people outside the city must always be settled.

The city of Songhai is thick and can be defended, but the villages outside the city are not in danger to defend, if they are not properly handled, waiting for their end, they will be slaughtered by werewolves like Orlan Village.

Fortunately, there is a lot of open space in the city, and some shacks can be built to temporarily accommodate hundreds of thousands of people in the entire Songhai City territory.

Thinking of this, Shaoyang immediately ordered: "From now on, notify all villages and towns to move the people to the city as soon as possible, and build a temporary camp in the city for the people to live temporarily." ”

"Your Highness, by all means!" As soon as the order was issued, it was opposed by the political officer.

If you want to save yourself without saying a word, you gave an order, but you came out to oppose it again, Shaoyang changed his usual kind face and said dissatisfied: "Why not?"

The administrative officer could naturally feel Shaoyang's dissatisfaction, hesitated in his heart, hesitated for a while, and then gritted his teeth and said: "A large number of people from villages and towns outside the city have moved into the city, which will cause chaos, and once the city is besieged, the food in the city will not be enough to support more than 100,000 people to eat. ”

There are only 60,000 or 70,000 people living in Songhai City, and it is not a problem to support them for a month with grain stored in the city. It is impossible for the werewolf army to besiege the city for too long, and the most likely thing is that the werewolf army will leave after plundering the surrounding villages and towns.

It was with this idea that the administrative officer did not support Shaoyang's order to move the people into the city.

Shaoyang also thought of his intentions, glared at the political officer, and said in a stern tone: "Then where are you safe for the people outside the city?"

The administrative officer felt a chill on his back, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead, but he refused to change his words, gritted his teeth and insisted: "You can let them hide in the mountains and forests, and when the werewolf army retreats, they will naturally be safe." ”

"Hehe, good, very good" Shaoyang laughed angrily, glanced at the hall, and found that many of the civil officials secretly looked up at him, obviously showing a look of expectation that he would agree with the political officer, and asked loudly: "Do you think so too?"

Most civil officials think so, but they can see Shaoyang's attitude, not to mention that there is already a first-of-its-kind politician, naturally no one will export again, and they have changed back to ostrich.

There was no support from his colleagues, and the administrative officer no longer argued, waiting for Shaoyang's decision.

"There can be no doubt about the relocation of people into the city. Shaoyang made a final decision, and at the same time glanced at those civil officials with cold eyes, and made a decision after weighing it for a moment in his heart, and said again: "Captain Xu, this matter will be handed over to the Xu family and other major families, and it must be completed within three days." ”

Shaoyang's order made the administrative officer feel weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground, he knew that his career in Songhai City was over. I regret that I talked too much, and secretly hated my colleagues for not reaching out, thinking: "If they also oppose it together, then ......"

The administrative officer suddenly realized that he was wrong, and even if many people objected, I am afraid that he would not be able to change His Highness's decision. Whether it is the rescue of people at the city gate or the reaction of Oran Village after the massacre, as well as the performance of these days, His Royal Highness is a downright rotten good person.

Shaoyang has long been dissatisfied with these civil officials, and has been keeping them because there is no one available, through these observations, the Chinese families are indeed sincerely assisting themselves, and they just take this opportunity to gradually hand over the civil official system to them.

It is undeniable that since he knew the history of the Chinese people in the Dusk Continent and the betrayal of the Chinese in the past, Shaoyang repelled those natives of the Dusk Continent who were of the general Western race in his heart.

The matter of relocating the people is worried about several major families, and the next thing is to arrange the defense of the city, Shaoyang ordered: "Zilong, you are the general of the Songhai City garrison, leading the defense of the city, and Captain Xu is the deputy general to assist." ”

The two of them responded to the order, Zhao Yun was still calm, Xu Sanmu showed a trace of excitement, from the day of the expansion of the army, he knew that one day, he would be promoted from a lieutenant to a general, although he was only a lieutenant, he was already very satisfied.

"By the way, why hasn't the messenger who went to the Northern Army to report the news come back yet?" asked Shaoyang when he remembered the news.
