Unlike the inhabitants of the Thousand Islands who were cautious and hiding, the builders of Shattered Slope City seemed to have anticipated future wars in advance, imitating the ancient city to build such a place where whoever has the biggest fist is reasonable.

As soon as Chaoyang climbed to the top of the four-meter-high city, a soldier defending the city yawned and casually fired a shot at the white bone cavalry in the distance, knocking it down.

When the squad leader heard the gunshot, he took out the telescope with great interest and looked at it, scolding with praise, "The little cub is good, and I wasted a bullet to hit it in the eye socket. ”

The soldier grinned as he watched the squad leader poke his eyebrows viciously.

He remembered something and asked in a low voice, "Squad leader, how long are we going to be trapped here?" ”

"Are you kid homesick?"

Faced with the squad leader's ill-intentioned speculation, the soldier shook his head and said mysteriously: "I have a classmate who was a soldier with me in the same year, and he is also my hair child, and he has a very good relationship, and he was assigned to the gangster class. ”

The soldier lowered his voice, "I heard that he has begun to buy food quietly, and there are some small traders and vendors in the city who deliberately raise the price, but the order from above is to take all the orders, buy as much as you want, why do you say this?" ”

The squad leader is a cultural person, but he can't think of a reason, it's getting hotter and hotter recently, even if the sun just came out, he was a little irritable, so he had to say: "Don't ask, what does the above say about what we do." ”

The soldier pursed his lips, "I heard that the city lord of Broken Slope City is a related household, and he hasn't even touched a gun, so he climbed here smoothly along the way, and if he comes here for two or three years, he can become a big official in Hua Shaoguo." ”

"Prices in the city are growing rapidly, and he still drinks and has fun every night, how can there be such a person!"

The squad leader was really angry this time, and kicked him in the ass so hard that the soldier rolled over, but he didn't dare to get angry, and stood aside with his head down.

The squad leader kicked him again and scolded: "Get out of here and stand guard, keep your mouth shut." ”

"Oh."

The squad leader smiled and chatted with a few acquaintances who watched the play for a while, and then each stood back to his post.

From time to time, the soldiers defending the city could be seen raising their guns and aiming at the bone cavalry who wanted to get close to Shattered Slope City, shooting them down, while the humans were put into the city after verifying that they were in the city.

Such a scene can be seen everywhere in the city, and everyone is unimpressed by the white bone cavalry that comes out.

How can any ancient cavalry beat spears and cannons?

At this time, the city of Broken Slope, which can accommodate a population of 800,000, has gathered about 1.3 million people at this time, so the streets and alleys are full of people fleeing.

The chaos in Broken Slope City and the order of outsiders are an irreconcilable contradiction.

In the Wenyuan Building, which was originally a library in the north of the city, it was temporarily converted into a military base, and Liu Yangming, who had 23 years of experience in the army, was lying on the table at this time, with a large stack of documents under him.

After careful comparison, Liu Yangming muttered to himself, "There are only 70,000 troops in the formation, and 10,000 are placed on each of the four city walls in the east, west, south and north, and 30,000 are kept for backup?" ”

"No, no, no, 10,000 soldiers can't stand on a section of the city wall, not to mention the logistics personnel, food supply, weapons and ammunition replenishment, now these are non-replenishable consumables, even if all the machines are requisitioned and converted into military factories, the output and quality are too poor."

"There are thirty military trucks, but there is no place for them, the Kuril Plain is almost all waterways, and there are only thirteen tanks."

Everyone in Wenyuan Building is solemn, as civilian personnel, they have never been on the battlefield, and they can only analyze the strength of the enemy through the comparison of data.

But the strength of the human side on the surface is too poor.

Liu Yangming asked, "What about Lin Mofei?" ”

One person replied, "He didn't return from a hangover last night, and he just came back from a red dark alley in the morning, and he should still be catching up on sleep." ”

Liu Yangming frowned slightly, "Can't you contact the outside world?" ”

The man smiled bitterly: "It has been determined that there is a time gap between us and the outside world, the outside world is a day, we are a month, all the electromagnetic signals are so slow that we can't even drill holes to get out." ”

"What about a forced breakthrough?"

"It has been checked by insiders, it is a restraint formation that is not allowed to enter or exit, and I have also sent someone to bombard it with a tank, but it is useless at all, but there is a folk rumor......"

Liu Yangming said angrily: "Folk rumors? And what: it's all the fault of humanity, and humanity is to blame for it, Mother Earth is angry that we humans have destroyed the earth, and she punishes us, this kind of bullshit? ”

The person on the side laughed: "I'm not sure, anyway, the folk legend has a nose and a face, saying that if you kill five people, and then put their bodies in that palace, you can appear with a key that can open anywhere in the world." ”

This rumor appeared very strangely, he had sent someone to investigate the source, but everyone said that there was a nose and a face.

Some people say that one night, a guy in a mask was standing in front of his window and telling a story to a girl, and he heard it.

Others said that when they woke up, they had a note on their head that said that if they killed these people, they could get out.

There are even bizarre stories such as fairy dreams.

Liu Yangming laughed silently, this kind of childish means can be seen through at a glance in front of the old fox, and he himself doesn't believe in these things, after the appearance of the beast in the world, there are indeed a lot of unbelievable things, but if you say that killing people can save people, and you can save millions of people, it is difficult to convince him.

His attitude towards this philosophical question of whether to save or not to save, to kill or not to kill, has always been very clear.

Liu Yangming touched the chin that had already found the stubble, and thought with emotion, he participated in the pacification of the civil strife in Hua Shaoguo, and witnessed the shadow master battle against the seven beasts, but at that time he was a participant, and today the city lord Lin Mofei here is not up to anything, and he finally changed from a participant to a decider.

Nervousness is inevitable, but there is also revenge in the heart.

Liu Yangming sat in the Wenyuan Building, issuing military orders one after another.

For conscription, all healthy people who have reached the age of 18 must participate in a physical examination, and those who pass should not leave the city of Broken Slope for three months and become a reserve army. 】

[All superpowers over the age of sixteen must join the army, all students from Tianyang City who come here to train, and capable teachers who come here to teach, must join the army. 】

[Secretly buy grain, orc flesh and blood on the black market, and hunt all the orcs and mountain and forest beasts in the Thousand Islands Plain as backup food. 】

[Half a month later, Broken Slope City was not allowed to enter. 】

【......】

[Start preparing weapons such as hot oil, stones, and crossbow arrows, and place them in the warehouse in case you need them.] 】

【......】

[Seven days later, the whole city began to allocate a fixed amount of food, regardless of the size of the official position, and there must be no mistake. 】

In Wenyuan Building, everyone saw this strict and bloody military order, as if war was just around the corner.

Someone hesitated: "Isn't it a bit ...... for all superpowers over the age of sixteen to join the army?"

In response, Liu Yangming responded with only four words, "Just do it." ”

"Lin Mofei's ......"

"I'll take care of it."

......

......

Lin Mofei is just over thirty this year, he belongs to the old and the young, but he still feels that he is very young, and he never feels that the burden on his body is heavy, he drinks wine and eats meat every day, and only when Liu Yangming walks in with a gloomy face does he get off the bed, slowly wash his face and brush his teeth, and do not forget to make a cup of hot tea.

Liu Yangming was angry at the beginning, and now he has a calm face, which makes Lin Mofei a little unsure of what this person sent by his father to assist him wants to do.

The killing of the white bone cavalry in the Thousand Islands Plain did not stop for a moment, and the cry could be heard in half of the cities of Broken Slope City, and the atmosphere of sadness was full of up and down, which infected almost everyone and made everyone's faces a little more irritated.

"How was last night's drink?"

Lin Mofei naturally doesn't have this kind of sad emotion, so he is quite happy, "With Shen Youchu, the little princess of Tianyang City Bingmen, as well as Liu Ji, the former genius of Daomen, and a few students, I can be regarded as having a happy conversation." ”

"Oh?" Liu Yangming was a little surprised, "The most powerful violent law enforcement agencies under the hands of these big countries are also here?" ”

Lin Mofei remembered something and said with a smile: "I heard that the little princess has a task, I don't bother to ask, you know, with my identity, they work for me, so I don't need to know the specific details, I just need to know what I should do." ”

In this valuable mansion, the two sat opposite each other and drank tea, although they could still hear the sound of crying and mourning, but this did not affect Lin Mofei's mood.

Liu Yangming put down the teacup and asked with a smile: "Will these crying people affect your normal life?" Do you need to kick them out? ”

These words are in no way in line with Liu Yangming's identity, and it is naturally a temptation for him to know the true nature of this second-generation official from Hua Shaoguo.

It's just that Lin Mofei never thinks about these things that he doesn't have.

The bloodshot eyes already showed that he had been playing for a long time last night and had drunk more, and at this time, I don't know if he was too heroic or ignorant, and smiled:

"My dad asked you to assist me, come here to plate gold, and I don't bother to ask about the details."

Lin Mo said with a smile: "You ask me to tell me what famous wines are in the world, I can tell you twenty kinds in one go, and they are all tasted by me, if you ask me when farmers will sow grain and when they will harvest, I will definitely not know." ”

"However, when I want to protect the peasants, all I do is issue orders, and what you do is fulfill my orders. When I wanted to kill all the bones outside the city, I didn't need to carry a gun. ”

"I'm underestimating you." Liu Yangming stared at Lin Mofei's eyes and suddenly smiled.

Lin Mofei remembered the first time the two of them met, and Liu Yangming frowned at himself, but whether it was the first time they met or now Liu Yangming's secret temptation, Lin Mofei didn't care, smiled gently, and said: "Uncle Liu doesn't need to test me, is it a good thing to eat, live and sleep together for the generals and soldiers?" Or is a general who likes to drink and play with women, but does not interfere with military power, is a good general? ”

Liu Yangming's cheeks were thin and his skull was very high, and he would always pull a large piece of skin when he laughed, but he didn't continue to ask anything at this time, and when he was about to get up and leave, Lin Mofei said loudly: "Uncle Liu, I don't agree with your army expansion, at least not now, all military orders for forced conscription should be withdrawn." ”

Liu Yangming turned his head.

Lin Mofei spread his hands, "Okay, when I didn't say anything." ”

Liu Yangming was a little curious, "Is there a reason?" ”

Lin Mofei's face was innocent, "The city lord of Broken Slope City is a villain who likes to have a hangover and never return, a scumbag who likes to play with women and even goes to the red dark alley regardless of his family, a plaster who only interferes with military orders and does not allow the expansion of the army without learning and skills, and is also a coward who has never touched a gun and only relies on relationships." ”

Liu Yangming was a little puzzled.

Lin Mo sneered: "Is there anything more confusing to the enemy than this?" Or to confuse the spies in the city? ”

Liu Yangming smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Then what about your drinking?" ”

"Ha, Uncle Liu, I like to be confused when I'm confused, and I'm smart when I'm smart. It's real to have fun, and it's real to do things, isn't it? ”

After saying goodbye to Lin Mofei, everyone at the gate of the mansion saw Liu Yangming scolding, and scolded from this mansion to Wenyuan Building, and even scolded Wenyuan Building for a full hour, which let everyone know that this anointed man actually rejected Liu Yangming's conscription order.

What's even more excessive is that as soon as Lin Mofei sobered up, he held a banquet again, taking advantage of the continuous funerals in the city, thinking about holding a beautiful thirty-first birthday for himself, and Chong Chong was happy.

......

......

As soon as dawn, Qingjiu's injuries were still healed, and he was dragged by Jiang Qiu to a remote courtyard against the city wall to teach more than 30 children here to play military boxing.

Two hours later, Jiang Qiu taught them knowledge, and in the afternoon, it was a daily physical training.

For the first week, all the children got up before 5 a.m., driven by an emotion called anger.

But people are always lazy, and time smooths all edges.

One day, one child didn't get up in the morning, and then the other children started to be lazy, and at first Qingjiu would use their parents' sacrifices to motivate them, but they were immediately stopped by Jiang Qiu.

Jiang Qiu's reason is simple.

Talking about dead parents, even if it is used to motivate their children, it does not bring them encouragement, but the wound is torn open again and again, and if they forget the hatred, it is their own choice.

Fortunately, there were thirteen children, and after digging a mound in the yard that belonged to their parents, they never stopped training without slackening.

In the second week, at Jiang Qiu's request, Qingjiu began to teach military theory to this group of children, although Qingjiu didn't know what it was for, and even taught them how to use firearms, hand-to-hand combat training, and the use of bows and arrows.

Soon, Qingjiu noticed that Jiang Qiu was away from the yard for longer and longer, and always liked to squat next to a buffalo, muttering non-stop.

Finally, Qingjiu couldn't resist his curiosity, and when he got closer, he heard Jiang Qiu muttering like a resentful woman:

"I don't really know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, when the hunter hunted five people, he only earned 200,000 yuan, but he never thought that half a month had not arrived, and he actually spent half of it, and the food alone accounted for the majority, and the price of goods grew rapidly."

"And you big buffalo, you don't eat grass, you have to drink wine and eat meat, eat and eat, sooner or later I will stew you."

"Lin Mofei, the dog's day, as the lord of a city, doesn't control prices, he is not allowed to enter the city after leaving the city, and every time he sneaks out, he is like being a thief, and he is annoyed to death."

Min snorted, lying on the ground and didn't bother to respond to Jiang Qiu.

Qingjiu smiled, "Isn't the money enough?" I've got some more. ”

The words are very peaceful, and there is no meaning of charity, just mutual help between friends.

Jiang Qiu shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with money, it's the unstable situation that has caused the entire city to be in chaos." ”

Qingjiu asked, "And those rumors you asked me to spread in the city?" ”

"It's not a rumor, it's a fact, it's just that there are some things that I don't really want to face." Jiang Qiu sighed, adopting more than a hundred children who were abandoned by the boatgirl, but he was one of the seven spirits, and if he wanted to leave here, he had to kill the corpse dog.

Killing her would save everyone, including himself, but for those children, the death of the corpse dog is the real 'sky falling'.

Therefore, Jiang Qiu thought, who can believe these words, just let them go, he can only say that he is a little bad, but he is not ruthless enough.

Qingjiu asked again: "I'll accompany you next time you go out of the city, so that you can grab a little more food and come back, even if it's digging some potatoes and catching a few fish." ”

Jiang Qiu shook his head, "I'm not at ease. ”

Qingjiu looked at Wang Sun, who was the most idle at this moment and was out of tune with everyone, "What's the matter with this white-haired boy?" Isn't it worrying about him? ”

What Jiang Qiu likes the most is that Wang Sun has a very good stomach, and he is not a picky eater, he eats whatever he wants, and basically all the leftovers are packed by him.

"I am the most relieved and the least at ease with ......him," Jiang Qiu looked at the three little girls who were fighting military boxing with the children, "For these children, I only feel the responsibility, but those little girls, I have a contract, and I can only rest assured if I put them by my side." ”

The next day was a rainy day, and at Jiang Qiu's request, the children had a temporary day off, and Qingjiu gave them the deeds of winning more with less in history, how to make traps, and the tactics and weapon configuration during the civil strife in Hua Shaoguo.

Jiang Qiu listened for a while, got up silently, closed the courtyard door, and left a crow on the treetop next to him as a surveillance.

The city was full of numb refugees, the summer heat and sticky rain could not make these people suffer any more, and the sergeants could be seen at the gates of the city checking everyone's ID cards, and if they did not have them, they would be forcibly expelled.

Although there are too many unreasonable places, once he thinks that this is the method that the 'genius' city lord Lin Mofei came up with to distinguish between humans and beasts, he thinks that it is normal when he thinks about his birthday party.

I think that the vast majority of people in the city have the same idea as Jiang Qiu, that is, Lin Mofei, a related household, will die quickly, so as not to affect the capable people to go up and do things and save the people in the city.

If it weren't for a girl who refused to stop chattering, and couldn't even stick back no matter how she got it, Jiang Qiu felt that leaving the yard and going out hunting for the children to maintain the nutrition of meat was what an unsung hero should do, but at this time, this beautiful illusion was shattered by Liu Ye.

Liu Ye's face was full of anticipation, "Master, where are we going?" ”

Jiang Qiu responded: "It's been half a month since I entered the city, it's time to get stronger." ”

I can't continue to wait for the wurmmon that Master said, I have to hunt more beasts as shadow beasts, and I have to get stronger immediately.
