Chapter 413: Do your best
In the end, it took five and a half days, and the time to dig the pit was supposed to be faster than the expected five days, but it was the plank that was used to cover the pit that came a little later, so it delayed a little longer, but it did not have much effect.
After repeated tests, at least 10,000 shrimp soldiers and crabs would step on it at the same time to make it crack.
"Let's go, go back to the city. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood on the edge of the huge pit, looking at the huge pit that could not be seen to be undulating, and whispered to the four people behind him and the head of the martial arts.
Whether this pit can succeed in one fell swoop will take five days to take effect, and the remaining five days are the last time left for Yulin County, and the entire Yulin County must prepare well.
Just after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, he took the lead in walking towards his horse, and after a stick of incense, all the people who were still here got on their horses and galloped in the direction of the county seat.
On the way back, although the head of Wu Zhutou had some guesses about what he had done a few days ago, he couldn't determine it in the end, so he rode to the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked, "Bai Shaoxia, I don't know the pit, but it's for those monsters?"
The voice was not loud, and it came into the ears of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince along the wind, and His Royal Highness rode non-stop, turned his head and smiled at Wu Zhutou and replied: "Just as Wu Zhutou thought." ”
Sure enough, although Wu Zhutou had long known that Yulin County was about to face the attack of those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, he didn't know that the situation was so grim, and even such a strange trick was used, obviously the situation was not optimistic.
Then he said: "Then according to Bai Shaoxia, how long can our Yu Lin hold out under the attack of these monsters." ”
"Unbreakable. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slowly uttered four words.
"Thankfully. Hearing this, Wu Zhutou's face was no longer as serious as before, and even showed a slight smile.
Since even Bai Shaoxia thinks so, then it must not be difficult for Yulin County to hold on under the attack of the West Sea monster.
However, is it really as unbreakable as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said? Naturally not, these words are just His Royal Highness the Prince's words of comfort to Wu Zhende.
If even the superior cannot confidently lead the troops, the subordinate will naturally fight with trembling, where is there any combat effectiveness at all, this is the truth that the soldiers will be in a nest.
And Wu Zhutou, as a major general in Yulin County, how could he fall into panic and lose confidence, thinking that this would not come out of the mouth of His Royal Highness the Prince, and Wu Zhende would get the same answer from Zhang Qianjian's mouth.
It's just a distance of ten miles out of the city, and in an instant, it is still the previous city gate, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered first, followed by a large number of soldiers with hoes.
The people of all the villages and towns in Yulin County had all moved into Yulin County four days ago, and the city gate was a little deserted compared to when everyone went out of the city.
The situation in the county town is also very different from when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, it is no longer as chaotic and crowded as it was at the beginning, and everyone has their place to go and things to do.
In these days, the defenders of Yulin County and more than 1,000 subordinates of Zheng Xiuyong have been training all the time, just for the arrival of that moment.
After entering the city, Wu Zhutou ordered his subordinates to repair it, and he went to the county government with Bai Shaoxia and others.
In front of the gate of the county government, Zhang Qianjian should have expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others would return to the city today, and he had ordered Wang Shihou to be in front of the gate.
At the moment when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared, Wang Shiying took a few steps forward and descended the stone steps, and said with a smile: "Bai Shaoxia, Wu Hunting Head." ”
For Wang Shi's greeting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled and nodded, but Wu Zhende only snorted lightly, it seems that after these two became Zhang Qianjian's right-hand men, Wu Zhende no longer concealed his displeasure with Wang Shi.
He didn't look down on some of Wang Shi's practices from the beginning, but even so, Wang Shi laughed it off many times, obviously not taking it to heart, he had his own way of survival.
Under Wang Shi's guidance, several people came to Zhang Qianjian's study again, pushed the door, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Wu Zhende entered at the same time, and the black-clothed foursome were still waiting outside.
Seeing Zhang Xianling sitting behind the desk, Wu Zhende first saluted respectfully, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had unceremoniously sat down on the chair next to him.
After several people sat down, before Zhang Qianjian could ask questions, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the lead and said, "Everything is ready. ”
"Brother Bai is doing things, Zhang has always been at ease. Zhang Qianjian nodded and said, that is, when facing His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Qianjian will not call himself an official or a county.
Similarly, without waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ask, Zhang Qianjian had already talked about the situation in the city.
"The people in the city already knew a day ago that Yulin County, where we live, would face a huge crisis, and they would defend the city and wait for reinforcements to arrive. ”
The trivial matters of counting the households in the city, as well as the arrangements for the young and strong of these six or seven thousand households, are much more convenient thanks to the county Cheng and others who were released by Master Feng, and the help of Feng Ying and Zhang Gaotao, the leaders of the two sides of the homeless and Western people.
Before the matter was finished, Zhang Xianling's mouth continued: "The more than 1,000 mountain bandits in the beginning of the Wu Capture Chief, under the training during this time, the results have been remarkable, and the two sides have been under each other, and even the skills of the defenders under the Tong County Captain have been improved to a higher level. ”
"Within this time, even the four gates were reinforced. "In the previous days, it was not easy to strengthen these four city gates, saying that it was actually just adding to the reinforcement and checking it again, and the forest in the border area was not ordinary at the beginning of construction, and it was thought that it could withstand the attack of those monsters.
As for things like moats, don't even think about it, they must have no effect on those monsters that run out of the sea, and the deep pit with a radius of thirty zhang is equivalent to the 'moat' of Yulin.
Zhang Qianjian glanced at Wu Zhende slightly as he spoke, and then said slowly: "Everything is ready, our Yulin will definitely be able to survive under the giant pincers of those monsters in the West Sea, until the arrival of reinforcements." ”
This remark really came to his mind with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, in order to establish a solid confidence in Yulin County for his capable subordinate.
Originally, on the way back, Wu Zhende was already relieved after listening to Bai Shaoxia's words, and at this time, with the assurance of the county commander, Wu Zhutou was full of confidence, and felt that those monsters contaminated with dragon qi were not so terrible.
After this study conversation, several people never got together so solemnly until four days later......
