Early the next morning.

The news came from the fine work that Gao Dali sent out to lurk in Nanban, and Li Changfeng couldn't help frowning after reading it.

He gathered all the generals together again and said straight to the point: "According to the news from our barbarian line, the barbarian king has gathered an army of 160,000 and handed it over to the vanguard general Batel who invaded us last time, and drove about 5,000 evil beasts to prepare to attack our Daqian again. ”

Speaking of this, Li Changfeng paused, his tone raised a lot, and specially reminded: "According to the information provided by the informant, the overall strength of the evil beast this time is much stronger than the evil beast last time, to use an inappropriate analogy, if it was a hyena last time, it is a lion who comes this time." ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces immediately became solemn.

The army of the sixteen kings has doubled compared to the last time, and the total number is not much worse than that of the great cadres, and it is still the elite of the barbarians.

These elite combat power they have been taught, and they are very terrifying.

That's enough to cause a lot of stress.

The five thousand evil beasts are even more powerful, and the pressure is even greater, you must know that these evil beasts alone can withstand hundreds of thousands of troops.

Although Li Changfeng's artillery battalion and musket battalion were backed up, everyone at the scene felt a lot of pressure.

Li Changfeng looked around at everyone and added with a calm expression.

"You are all my battle-hardened generals, but what countermeasures do you have?"

After a moment of silence, Nangong Changming bowed slightly and said: "Great marshal, the 160,000 army of the barbarians, the last general is confident that he can resist, but this is a more powerful 5,000 evil beast......"

Speaking of this, Nangong Changming frowned, and then stretched out again.

"These five thousand evil beasts, it depends on your artillery battalion, and you know the whole Daqian best about this new type of weapon, so you can arrange it directly!"

The battle of Zhennanguan made Nangong Changming realize that many of the military strategies he was proficient in were not applicable in the presence of these thermal weapons.

Blind command and random suggestions on the battlefield will kill people.

He simply threw this problem to Li Changfeng.

Even Nangong Changming didn't dare to say anything, let alone other generals.

"Dashuai, you can arrange it directly!"

"It's just that we don't know enough about artillery and muskets, and only you can make the most of them!"

"You command, we can fight wherever we want!"

Seeing that everyone realized that their abilities were limited and they couldn't give any opinions, Li Changfeng nodded secretly.

That's what you want.

The entire army must maintain a single command and ban in order to effectively resist the barbarian army and the evil beasts.

Li Changfeng smiled faintly and said: "Everyone, it's still the same as last time, mainly the artillery battalion and the musket battalion, they are responsible for attacking the invading enemy, and you are waiting on the city wall, and when the barbarian army and evil beasts kill on the city wall, it is time for you to make a move." ”

Hearing such an arrangement, the generals were stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised.

Last time, the barbarian army of 80,000 was just that.

This time, it's 160,000!

And this time it's five thousand evil beasts, and its strength is much stronger than last time.

In this case, Li Changfeng didn't even give them a chance to go into battle to kill the enemy?

As a general of a hundred battles, everyone who is eager for military exploits, if there is no whisper in their hearts, it is impossible.

You can't let the people brought by Li Changfeng take all the credit, right?

Due to the prestige established by Li Changfeng in the last war, no one dared to stand up and express his dissatisfaction, but he still saw the clues from everyone's expressions.

Li Changfeng thought about it for a while, and then he knew what everyone thought.

"Everyone!"

Li Changfeng's expression was solemn, and when he saw him like this, all the generals also looked at him with blazing eyes.

"This prince knows that you all want to make meritorious contributions, want to kill the enemy for the great cadres, and avenge the dead brothers, you can have such thoughts, this prince is very happy."

"The battle between the artillery battalion and the musket battalion is mainly to exterminate the evil beast and disrupt the offensive rhythm and formation of the enemy army.

Hearing him say this, everyone was satisfied this time.

Next, Li Changfeng began to issue tasks.

Considering the number of barbarian armies, and more importantly, the number of more powerful evil beasts, Li Changfeng ordered more traps to be dug and at the same time had Zhang Jiahui lead the men of the musket battalion to bury more explosive packs.

Soon, Dingyang City was in full swing.

At noon that day, Li Changfeng received a report from the scout, saying that it was dusty dozens of miles away, and the roar of the evil beast was earth-shattering.

The barbarian army is not far from Dingyang City.

Li Changfeng immediately ordered the army to return to the city to garrison.

Then hundreds of people from Baishi City, holding large wooden barrels, went to the periphery of the position outside the city under the curious eyes of many defenders of Dingyang City.

As far as the eye could see, they seemed to be pouring something into the outermost trench, leaving the army in doubt.

They guessed that this must be Li Changfeng's secret weapon.

After the final arrangements were completed, Zhao Yong led the crowd back to the city, waiting for the arrival of the barbarian army.

The strange thing is that until dark, there was no shadow of the barbarian army.

Li Changfeng held on to the city wall, looking into the distance, his brows furrowed slightly.

Nangong Changming said: "Great commander, the long-distance attack of the Nanban army will inevitably be tiring, and the evil beasts also need to eat and rest, I am afraid that they will not attack today." ”

Li Changfeng was noncommittal.

Li Jianye has a different opinion on this: "I don't think so, if the evil beast feeds on people, the hunger in the belly will be even more crazy, and the barbarian army may want to attack at night." ”

Everyone said a word to me and began to discuss.

"It's true that the hunger of the evil beasts will be more ferocious, but the barbarian army is all human, don't they need to rest?"

"Not necessarily, a long-distance attack is tiring, but the possibility of killing in one go is also very high, so you have to be vigilant."

"In my opinion, this is the strategy of the barbarians, so I will wait all night to be on guard, and then attack when our army is tired."

Everyone expressed their opinions and kept discussing, but it also made Li Changfeng, who had no experience in leading troops to fight, expand his thinking a lot.

After a while, he glanced at the gradually darkening sky and said to Zhao Yong, "You have brought the searchlight and the improved clairvoyant mirror, right?" ”

Zhao Yong nodded: "I brought it all." ”

"Okay, install a searchlight immediately, pay attention to the movement around Dingyang City at any time, and immediately sound the alarm as soon as there is a situation."

After speaking, Li Changfeng looked at Nangong Changming and the others again.

"When the army had eaten enough, they slept in the same place. Remember, you have to keep your armor in your hand, and you can get up and go into battle as soon as the alarm goes off, you know? ”

Nangong Changming's expression was solemn.

"Understood, don't worry!"

I've been busy with some things in the last few days, so I'm sorry for the two thousand words per chapter for the time being
