Huangsha City, this is the first city that Ma Shuo arrived at after waking up.

In Huangsha City, Ma Shuo has established a winery, and based on this, a base has been formed.

When Ma Shuo rushed to Huangsha City with his people, there were already a lot of militia groups gathered outside Huangsha City, and there were 350,000 people in total. The militia group that arrived first has been arranged by the border army to a special area, and although the overall feeling is a bit chaotic, it is still generally orderly.

Ordinary militia groups, that is, the size of one or two thousand people, and more than three thousand people are rare. Now, Ma Shuo suddenly arrived with a team of more than 10,000 people, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh my God, this is that militia group, and there are so many people?" Someone in the militia group who came first exclaimed.

"Hey, isn't this Lord Ma from Panlong Ridge?" There were still people who recognized Ma Shuo's identity. If Ma Shuo saw this person, he would be able to recognize the other party immediately, it was Cui Xiucheng from Cui Jiabao. After all, Cui Xiucheng has fought side by side with Ma Shuo's men and horses for so long, so he still knows Ma Shuo. However, seeing that Ma Shuo's people had exceeded 10,000 people, Cui Xiucheng was also shocked.

"Cheng'er, you know this person!" Standing next to Cui Xiucheng is his second uncle Cui Jie. This time, Cui Xiucheng's father Cui Hao did not come, he stayed in Cui Jiabao, and someone at home should be watching.

"Second Uncle should still remember the last time my nephew went out to support! The last time the call-up order was issued, it was this Master Ma who issued the call-up order in the name of the commander of the border army. However, now it seems that the identity of this Master Ma is probably not as simple as a thousand commanders! Cui Xiucheng introduced Cui Jie.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart. When Cui Xiucheng introduced Ma Shuo's situation to Cui Jie, the expression of a stubby man who happened to be standing not far from him became a little unnatural. This stubby man was none other than Takeo of Wujiapo, and this time he personally led Wujiapo's militia to respond to the call-up order.

Originally, Takeo didn't pay much attention to the sudden emergence of a militia organization with more than 10,000 people, but after hearing Cui Xiucheng's introduction, Takeo suddenly thought of the conscription order he had rejected before. Obviously, if the kid of the Cui family is right, the one in front of him is the one who issued the conscription order before.

It's a bit of a hassle now! Takeo didn't expect that the person he rejected at the beginning had now become a captain-level existence.

He was only the leader of a militia group, belonging to a civil organization, and there were only one or two thousand people under his command. He knew very well in his heart that if the other party really wanted to trouble him, he would be in big trouble now.

So, involuntarily, Takeo seemed to hide in the crowd by himself, becoming cautious, lest the other party find out about his existence.

In fact, Takeo's worries were purely unnecessary, and Ma Shuo didn't take what Takeo refused to heart at all.

The reason why the call was sent to the nearby militia group was just based on the idea that talk is better than nothing, and if someone came, it was naturally good, and no one responded.

Ma Shuo's arrival soon attracted the attention of the person in charge of Huangsha City of the border army. What Ma Shuo didn't expect was that the person in charge of Huangsha City of the border army was actually an acquaintance, and he was very familiar, very familiar.

Mark, the person in charge of the border army Huangsha City is actually his younger brother Mark. As the head of the Huangsha City Border Army, Mark's current position is to be promoted to a staff general slightly lower than the deputy general of the Font Battalion.

In the border army, the staff general is a higher level than the commander of the ten thousand masters, and in non-war times, there are no staff generals in the general number battalion. Because in non-war times, the standard configuration of a battalion is 20,000 people, and two commanders are enough.

The battalion commander will directly manage the commander, while the adjutant general will be responsible for military law and logistics.

However, in the time of war, the situation is special, and the size of the battalion will first be greatly expanded, plus some other affairs, it will be necessary to add a management between the commander and the commander-in-chief.

A general of the border army, in a place like Huangsha City, is still very powerful, at least the city lord of Huangsha City does not dare to be presumptuous in front of the generals.

During the war, the command of the protective army of Huangsha City also had to be handed over to the border army generals, in this case, for their own safety and life, no city lord dared to offend the border army generals who led the troops.

Mark didn't expect to meet his eldest brother in this situation. Not only that, but his eldest brother also brought more than 10,000 people very unexpectedly.

It had been five days since Mark arrived in Huangsha City, and the total number of vigilantes here was only more than 50,000 people, which was actually far from enough.

According to the previous assumption, at least 70,000 to 80,000 people should be gathered on the Huangsha City side in order to build a defense line on this side.

Seeing that the time node was approaching, and Mark was anxious about what to do next, the eldest brother suddenly appeared, bringing more than 10,000 people at once. The point is that there are still about six thousand cavalry inside.

In this case, although there is still a difference in the total number of people, with these more than 6,000 cavalry as a mobile force, the construction of the defense line of Huangsha City is almost the same.

When brothers see each other, they are naturally overjoyed. It's just that in the current situation, the two don't have much time to catch up. Therefore, after the two of them did not gossip a few words, they shifted the topic to the situation in front of them.

"Xiao Ke, what is your mission?" Ma Shuo asked straight to the point, his own brother, he naturally doesn't have to be polite.

"Big brother, my task is to organize these militias first, and then build a defense line in this place to ensure that the barbarians do not break through the defense line and enter this area after entering the pass!" Mark pointed to a map that wasn't very scribbled and explained to Ma Shuo. According to Mark, he was in charge of the defense line for about a hundred miles. So, he needs at least 80,000 to 100,000 people to be able to make sure it's safe. Of course, these people are not gathered together, but are focused on a few key points.

Because the location chosen by the border army to build a defensive line has natural terrain that can be used, as long as it can hold a few necessary roads, it can basically block the barbarians on the other side. Otherwise, a 100-mile-long defense line would be about the same as 100,000 people.

"Big brother, on this line of defense, these three places are the focus of the key points, and I plan to put 20,000 people in each of these three places. In the other two places, 5,000 people each should be fine. The rest of the manpower will be used as a mobile force to provide appropriate reinforcements according to changes in the situation. Mark told Ma Shuo what he thought. However, it is clear that even the most conservative estimates still have a shortfall of nearly 10,000 people.

"Big brother, I want to discuss something with you!" After a moment's hesitation, Mark suddenly said to Ma Shuo with a somewhat twisted expression.
