"Forgive the ministers for their ineffective work, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" General Niu knelt nervously in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

"General Niu, I was very optimistic about you, but you really broke my heart this time!" the king gestured, and a sad look appeared on his face.

"The dignified 50,000 soldiers can't even take down a second-class city defended by less than 20,000 people!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has really tried his best, that city is weird, there was not much resistance to the siege, but as soon as I entered the city, I didn't know what strange formation was used by the other party's commander, and our side lost two-thirds of our manpower in an instant!" General Niu explained.

"Oh, General Niu, are you joking? What kind of formation can wipe out more than 20,000 soldiers at once? Could it be that the other party is really a god!" The king looked incredulous, in his image, although this formation was powerful, but the ordinary formation would not kill so many people at once!

At this moment, a civil official came out to clarify.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that General Niu's words may be true!" but an envoy spoke.

"Oh, how is that possible?" said the king, still in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed such horrific means outside our mezzanine!" the envoy continued. "The minister once saw it when he was an envoy to the Leo Empire!"

Hearing the envoy say that there was indeed such a thing, the king was also interested for a while.

"Oh?

"Yes, Your Majesty, those people call this method a chain formation. Arranged by a large number of Fu Soul Grandmasters, this guy can be said to have died as many people as he entered!"

"So that's what happened to General Niu this time?"

"I'm afraid eight or nine will not leave ten!"

"It seems that there are strong foreign forces intervening in this!" said the king's face with some concern. "I don't know which side it will be! Our domain is separated from the outside by the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range and the Holy Demon Mountain Range, and this culture is really too backward!"

"General Niu, I'll give you one last chance, this time I'll give you 100,000 troops, if you can't set foot there again, don't come back!"

"Command!"

"Another point, send me a hundred outstanding children to study outside, we don't want to lag too far behind the mainstream culture of the mainland!"

At the same time, Ye Feng quietly stayed in his mansion to cultivate.

Half a month has passed since the last siege. In this half a month. Except for the few times he was targeted not long ago, he didn't have any other special treatment, and he even marked himself with the standard of a standard otaku, except for cultivating in the official residence. He really hasn't been out of the house!

But even if he didn't go out. The good names of him and Yang Yanxiao have still been praised countless times. When people mention them, they are all in awe.

For such a thing, although some people are very angry, but there is nothing they can do. At this moment, they don't dare to continue to make any planes.

After a brief month of peace, another war is heading for everyone.

At this time, although the strength of their entire city had increased significantly, reaching a full 80,000, 70,000 of them had been trained for less than a week! As for the 150,000 militiamen, they were even more unreliable, and they did not even fully understand their position!

And all this came so suddenly, but even so suddenly, they still did not give up their conviction in their hearts and gave up resistance! Defend their homeland to the death! The freedom they had so hard to get could not be let slip away like this!

"Report to the party leader, there are a large number of enemy troops approaching twenty miles outside the city!" A correspondent who rushed to Ye Feng's office shouted loudly to Ye Feng, regardless of his own image.

Hearing the news of the enemy, Ye Feng immediately concentrated and asked, "Oh, how many enemy troops are there?"

"Back to the head of the party, the preliminary estimate is probably no less than last time!"

Ye Feng nodded, it seems that the Kaiwei Kingdom still doesn't give up on this land!

"Immediately notify the whole army to be ready for battle, and the entire Free City will enter a state of first-level combat readiness!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the news that the army of the Kaiwei Kingdom was once again coming to the city spread throughout the city.

For such news, everyone has different response emotions, some negative, of course, some positive, but on the whole, the whole situation is quite optimistic, and the whole people's heart has not collapsed!

"Everyone, I brought everyone together today to discuss the strategy of dealing with the enemy this time, and I hope you can give some good ideas and opinions!" Ye Feng first went straight to the topic and directly stated the purpose of this party meeting.

"Since the party leader has summoned us elders, we naturally don't dare to slack off, as for opinions, I'm just afraid that we are old, our thinking is rigid, and we can't put forward any effective opinions!" A veteran who was not very polite to Ye Feng directly barred Ye Feng and found a reason to shirk.

"How can you say that, Brother Yang and I, the deputy party leader, are young, and we must not have as much knowledge as the old-timers, and I hope that the old-timers will not be stingy with experience, and it is good to listen to it with us young people!" Ye Feng responded calmly.

After listening to Ye Feng's reply, the patriarch didn't know how to answer for a while, but he was secretly scolding in his heart, young, these two boys are so cunning and clever, they are not inferior to them at all, saying that they are young, you should coax the ghost to go! Of course, he can only scold like this in his heart, and he still doesn't dare to disobey Ye Feng too much, after all, now the people's hearts are towards Ye Feng and them, and now to do it with Ye Feng is to go against the will of the people, and there will definitely be no good end!

Not to mention the current situation, if they fight in the nest, the situation in the entire city will collapse immediately, and it will only cheapen those enemy troops outside the city.

"According to the latest information we have received, this time the kingdom has sent a full 100,000 troops to conquer our Free City, and in the old man's opinion, this battle may be a little difficult!" said a veteran in charge of the intelligence department.

Hearing the exact number of the enemy's army, Ye Feng was also taken aback, he didn't expect the kingdom to send such a big deal this time! In the case of resisting the invasion of neighboring countries, he also drew out 100,000 troops to attack them, but it was expected that the kingdom could only draw out this amount of manpower, right? In other words, as long as they could be repelled this time, the kingdom would have no way to deal with them! Unless they were willing to lose their battlefield interests in the battle with their neighbors!

"I wonder how our recruits are trained?" Ye Feng asked again.

"Although the progress is very fast, but the time is too short, and the current combat effectiveness is not very strong, but if it is a simple city defense, it can still be done!" replied honestly, a veteran who held military power.

"Okay, although the number of enemy troops has doubled this time, we also have new recruits to join, if it can perfectly match the formation I arranged, this city can still be defended!" Ye Feng encouraged everyone and said: "During the war, I also hope that everyone can work together and unite with the outside world, and don't cause any internal problems, otherwise don't blame me for being the party leader who is strict, although I don't have much real power, but I still have some strength!"

In the end, Ye Feng could be regarded as directly ruthless, although the words were very dark, but how could these old foxes not understand, that is, they were threatening them to be honest, and if they truthfully made any planes during the battle, Ye Feng would be powerful! After all, although these old foxes were scheming, their own strength was really not good, otherwise they would not have been oppressed by the city lord in the first place, and they had to build this organization underground.

"Please also rest assured that we, the old immortals, will not do something harmful to our party itself!" A group of old foxes can be regarded as a promise to Ye Feng, although they don't know if they can guarantee in their behavior, they have already made a verbal guarantee, in other words, Ye Feng will have weapons to deal with those who have dissenting intentions in the future!

"Since that's the case, then I'm relieved!" Ye Feng nodded, and continued to put forward some opinions about the imminent outbreak of war this time

Outside the city, in a tent in the very center, a group of people were also discussing something.

"Report to General Niu, all our sergeants have arrived at the camp, I don't know what else the general has to order?"

"All rest, two days later, siege!" (to be continued......)
