c_t; Fang Ruitao nodded: "That's right, use me as bait to ambush them." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"What?" the officers present all screamed, using Fang Ruitao's Legion Commander's dignity to lure the enemy, or to lure the other party's two soul masters and nearly ten grandmasters, the danger level was too high.
"Commander, let me lure the enemy. Liu Jinhui immediately proposed. "Legion Commander, let me go, let me go. "There was a lot of excitement in the big tent, and everyone was vying to lure the enemy.
Fang Ruitao pressed his hand, and everyone stopped talking. Fang Ruitao arched his hand to everyone and said: "I understand the affection of the brothers, but this time I must personally go out to lure the enemy." When the enemy discovers our intentions, I am the only one who can best attract the attention of the master thieves. Our Dragon Soul Legion has just been established, and it suffers the most from the masters, and the strongest brother in the whole group, Liu Jinhui, is only about to break through the grandmaster, so it is difficult for us to gain the upper hand in such a master duel. ”
Hearing Fang Ruitao say this, Liu Jinhui opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fang Ruitao: "I know everyone's feelings, but this time it's too dangerous, if you go, you will be dead, and if it's me......" Fang Ruitao smiled and said: "I've also seen a soul master, although it is difficult to kill him, but the escape is still somewhat certain." Besides, I intend to let the ballista carts and archers attack them in a flurry of waves, and it is not yet known whether they will win or lose. Although everyone urged Fang Ruitao not to take risks, he insisted on going, and in the end everyone had to obey the order. /
From the next day, Fang Ruitao's troops began to tease each other with ballistas every day, but they did not really attack the city, while the fastest Gaofu City brought a group of wind warriors and hurried towards the direction of the Great Hengduan Mountain Range at the fastest speed, their task was to find the victims of the disaster, let them gather here, and help the Dragon Soul Legion dig trenches.
Shouyang City is not far from the Dahengduan Mountains, four days later, people began to arrive at the barracks one after another, Fang Ruitao collected them one by one, formed their own organization, and then selected the leader, let them take the migrant workers to dig trenches, as for the tools, Fang Ruitao made a batch of steel pouts for them.
Ten days later, Gao Fucheng and the others returned to the barracks, and they actually gathered nearly 30,000 young men this time, and also followed many family members, and the number of people near the barracks soon reached 100,000. Fang Ruitao was afraid that those ordinary people would be harmed in the war, so he moved them back ten kilometers, and then he sent people to build houses for these people and build a temporary station.
With the food earned by digging trenches every day, these family members finally lived a peaceful life, although it was not enough to feed the family, but at least they would not starve to death. Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Fang Ruitao asked the soldiers to go up the mountain to collect firewood and send it to them door to door to help them strengthen their houses to resist the wind and cold.
Fang Ruitao's practice of loving the people like a son made those young men who dug trenches full of energy, and under their desperate work, the trenches were rapidly extending, and soon surrounded nearly half of the city, looking at the longer and longer trenches, most of the thieves didn't know what it was for, and even Sun Yaoran was confused.
The reason why even Sun Yaoran didn't know what this trench was used for was because Fang Ruitao deliberately dug the trench very shallow at the beginning of the trench, only about half a meter deep. Such a shallow ditch can't stop people from crossing it at all, so Sun Yaoran doesn't know what they are going to do.
The ditch stretched little by little, and soon surrounded the whole city, this ditch was five meters wide, but only half a meter deep, and thus surrounded the whole city, only about five hundred meters from the city wall. In the first few days, those thieves were still standing on the city wall to look fresh, and after a few days, they didn't bother to look at it, and even those who were specially left by Sun Yaoran to monitor them hid in the city tower to sleep. Now these thieves only pray that the officers and men will dig the trench as long as possible, so that the deadly short spear will not come again, for they have not thought of a way to defend themselves until now.
Looking at the shallow trench, not to mention Sun Yaoran, even Liu Jinhui didn't understand reads; "Commander, what are you doing digging such a shallow ditch? Aren't we going to dig a deep trench to block them?"
Fang Ruitao said with a smile: "Wait and see, they will be blocked, if we come up and dig a deep ditch, they still can't see it? At that time, they will definitely come out to destroy, now that the ditch has been dug out, they are also tired of seeing, it is a good opportunity for us to start work." Have you dug the diversion ditch to the Hongshui River?"
"What kind of work? Liu Jinhui was puzzled when he suddenly heard Fang Ruitao's question, and he immediately replied: "It has been dug a long time ago, it is much deeper than this shallow ditch, after all, most of those young and strong people have been transferred to that end, as long as you say a word, you can open the gate and release the water." Liu Jinhui replied.
Fang Ruitao nodded and said, "Rest today, let Qingzhuang and the soldiers eat and sleep early, and no one is allowed to walk around in the camp." So saying, he left with his hands behind his back.
"Eat and sleep?" Liu Jinhui looked at Tiandao: "It's not yet noon, it seems that it hasn't been long since I got up, and I'm still sleeping? ”
Looking at the silent enemy camp, Sun Yaoran was even more puzzled. These days, they are busy digging trenches every day, and he is used to seeing them, but today he is a little overwhelmed when they suddenly rest all. After thinking about it carefully, he didn't find any suspicions, Sun Yaoran had no choice but to let it go, anyway, as long as he defended the city, as for what the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were doing, it didn't matter much to him, and now the most important thing turned from defending the city to the food problem.
Shouyang City is not big, and the grain collected every year is stored in the city lord's mansion in addition to being handed over directly. By the time they breached the city, they had all been confiscated, and after a few months, they had eaten enough. In addition to the grain in the City Lord's Mansion, there were also many thieves who looted from the area near Shouyang City, and these grains were later stored in the City Lord's Mansion, and now they can rely on this part of the food.
Thinking about the 100,000 soldiers and nearly 100,000 people in the city, Sun Yaoran felt his scalp tingle, with such a large population base, even if there was more food, it would not be enough to eat. Thinking about the food problem in his heart, Sun Yaoran went to find Chu Xiong again.
"Big Boss. As soon as Sun Yaoran entered the lobby, he saw Chu Xiong sitting on the Taishi chair, moving his hands and feet at a pretty man, and the obscene smile on his face made people feel disgusted to see.
Seeing Sun Yaoran come in, Chu Xiong cleared his throat and waved his hand to let that girl out. He looked at Sun Yaoran and said with a smile on his face: "The military advisor has worked hard these days, I don't know how the situation is in defending the city, what is the matter with coming to me?"
