During the whole process, Yang Jiangyi and Sima Rulan followed Hua Bushi's side. Although they felt quite strange in their hearts, they also knew that this eldest young master had always been scheming and resourceful, and at this time, seeing that he had been busy calculating and commanding, they did not ask out loud.

It wasn't until all the houses to be demolished had been demolished and the stones and wood had been piled up in the designated places that Hua Bushi breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in his mouth: "With this arrangement, he can probably always fight, hey, he can't bring all the Dragon Palace tribesmen!"

Sima Rulan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Mr. Hua demolished these houses, but did he want to build fortifications to defend against pirates?"

As for the deployment of fortifications, Sima Rulan can be regarded as knowledgeable.

Sima Zhufeng once wanted his daughter to take charge of Okura Castle because he taught her various tactics of arranging troops from an early age, and laying fortifications was also included in it. She saw that Hua Bushi ordered people to demolish these many houses, and piled up stones to block several intersections, obviously using these buildings in the city to lay out an arc-shaped defense line.

It's just that in Sima Rulan's opinion, this line of defense is really not tight.

First of all, the defensive ring is too small, only within thirty zhang in front of the Sea God Temple, and once it is surrounded by pirates, there is no room for maneuver. Moreover, even with such a small defensive circle, there are still two gaps that have not been sealed, and the enemy can still rush in.

Outside the defense circle, Hua Bushi also told the Tiger Warriors to demolish some houses, but they didn't know what their intentions were.

Leaving a flaw is a taboo in laying fortifications, just like building a city wall and digging a moat when you want to defend a city, but you don't close the gates and put down the drawbridge. Even if Sima Rulan only understands talking on paper and has no actual combat experience, she can easily see it.

In fact, the houses in this Black Dragon City are already low, most of them are only a few feet high, and it is not too difficult to climb up, and it is not suitable for defense, so Hua Bushi spent a lot of energy to do the layout, at most it can only be regarded as better than nothing, and it will definitely not play a big role.

However, the eldest young master himself seemed to be completely unaware of this, and his face was full of pride, and he seemed very satisfied with this fortification, which was full of holes, and smiled: "Miss Lan'er is really smart! ”

Three thousand pirate elites?

Sima Rulan's jaw almost fell to the ground, and she couldn't speak for a long time with her mouth open, and only after a while did she say: "How did Mr. Hua know that there would be three thousand pirates coming?

Although the walls of Black Dragon City are not very thick, they are at least three zhang high, and there were only hundreds of pirates guarding the city walls before, and the officers and soldiers who forcibly attacked the city suffered a lot of losses, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it is much easier to defend the city walls than to use these low houses and lay another line of defense.

Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "The Black Dragon King set up this empty city plan, just to introduce us into the city, and how could he leave the city wall for us to defend in vain, and he will definitely do something on it." Besides, even if there is no problem with the city wall, it is 300 zhang, which is too long, and if their 3,000 people come up together to attack, we will not be able to defend it at all if we have to disperse the guards. ”

Sima Rulan knew that what Hua Bushi said was true, and said: "Since Mr. Hua can expect that there will be 3,000 pirates to attack, why didn't he let Gongzi Cao leave some more men down just now, even if Uncle Xiong's army was left, it would be much better!"

Hua Bushi said with a smile: "If people stay too much, they will have scruples, and they may not attack us first, only if the pirates think that they are very poor and can swallow us in one bite, they will come without fear, and we can have a good fight with the main force of the pirates!"

Sima Rulan still had a lot of confusion in her heart, and asked again: "But haven't the five thousand main forces of the pirates already left the island from the port, and the people in Longtoe Town have seen it, are they lying?"

Hua Bushi said: "They don't lie, but those residents only saw that there were 5,000 pirates going to the port, but they didn't know if it was the main force of the Dragon Palace tribes, and even if they really left the island by boat, they could still come back." The Black Dragon King's 3,000 left on the island is just my estimate, if he were more shrewd, maybe he would have kept more. ”

Although he still had a smile on his face, there was a faint cold light in his eyes, like the look of a vicious dog when it saw flesh and bones.

Sima Rulan wanted to ask again, but suddenly saw someone rushing in the distance, it was the city lord's palace guard who had been sent to the city wall to inspect the movement outside the city.

"Miss City Lord, Young Master Hua! A large group of pirates came from a distance outside the city, at least three or four thousand people!" the guards of the City Lord's Mansion panted and said loudly.

Hua Bushi only waved his hand lightly and said, "I know, they are really not slow." Miss Lan'er, withdraw all the disciples on the city wall, we just need to guard the Sea God Temple. ”

He turned around and said, "Hu Jing!"

The general Hu led his soldiers to tear down the two houses easily, and he was sitting aside to rest, but just now he also heard the announcement of the city lord's palace guard, and couldn't help but be shocked.

Hua Bushi said: "You led your archers, retreated to the front of the Sea God Temple, prepared bows and arrows to line up in a horizontal line, and listened to my orders to shoot arrows, do you understand?"

Hu Jing replied: "The last general understands!" He beat a drum in his heart, and couldn't help but interject: "Young Master Hua, there are thousands of pirates attacking outside the city, should we send someone into the valley to inform Gongzi Cao and ask him to come back to support?"

Hua Bushi smiled faintly and said, "No need." If I'm not mistaken, now that Cao Gongzi and his party have been trapped by the Black Dragon King, it is probably impossible for them to come back to support, and the current battle can only be fought by ourselves!"

There were three or four thousand pirates outside the city, but there were only about four hundred on their side, a difference of almost ten times in number, Hu Jing couldn't believe his ears when he heard Hua Bushi say that he had to rely on himself to fight, and his face was instantly frightened without blood.

Isn't this Young Master Hua crazy?

Sima Rulan hurriedly said: "Mr. Hua just said that the people who entered the valley are trapped, will it be dangerous?"

Of course, what she was worried about was not Cao Duiyun, but Xiong Bailing, who went into the valley with Cao Duyun.

Hua Bushi said: "Miss Lan'er, don't worry, Gongzi Cao is not a reckless person, there are many of them in their group, and there are masters like Qiu Hengbo in charge, the Black Dragon King can only trap them for a while at most, and they will not be in danger." However, in this battle of ours, the thousands of pirates from the other side should be the elite main force of the Dragon Palace tribe, and we must deal with it carefully. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ out of a hundred people in this world, about ninety-nine are afraid of ghosts, and Jin Sili is no exception.

But when he saw the short figure standing next to the woods, he was angry, and shouted: "Bastard little ghost! dare to pretend to be a ghost and scare Uncle Ben, see that I don't pick your skin alive!"

The short figure was none other than Xiao Xinwang.

When he chased him out of the dock before, Jin Sili had already seen it very clearly, among the three people who fled on the hillside, the light skills of the two women were not weak, but Xiao Xinwang was just an ordinary indigenous child, and he would not be able to do light work at all. Because of this, the pirates under his command did not catch Xiao Xinwang for a while, and Jin Sili was not worried, knowing that the kid would definitely not be able to escape far, as long as he carefully searched a few nearby mountains and forests, he would definitely find it.

But he didn't expect this little broken child to run out by himself, and he was startled by the ghostly roar, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"Come on, get that little ghost up for me!" Jin Sili shouted.

One of the pirate minions immediately stepped up and walked towards Xiao Xinwang at the edge of the woods. Hai Hongzhu shouted: "Xiao Xinwang, run! Don't catch them!"

In her opinion, Xiao Xinwang, a thirteen-year-old child, could not beat these vicious pirates, and he should have escaped as soon as possible just now, and he really shouldn't have appeared so rashly.

Xiao Xinwang stood in place and did not run away. The pirate saw that he was only a child, and he did not pay attention to himself, but in three or two steps he came nearer, and with his hand he grabbed him by the collar and tried to pick the child up. But before the pirate could exert his strength, Xiao Xinwang waved his right hand, and a blue light flew out, and it immediately wrapped around his neck!

Before the pirate could understand what was going on, his eyes burst out, and he fell to the ground on his back, his throat rattled, and he struggled twice to move!

Ordinary flames can't be so blue-green in color, and even if they do, they can't kill people so quickly!

The body of the pirate brood fell to the ground, the blue flames were still burning on his neck, and the face of Xiao Xinwang was also a purple and green color, only to hear the leisurely voice again: "Tonight, the ghost gate is wide open, and the king of Yama recruits people, a total of fourteen souls will be recruited, you can accept your fate......"

On this hillside, including Jin Sili, there were exactly fourteen pirates in total, except for the two people who Bai Yiling had knocked down before and the one who was burned to death in front of them, and the remaining eleven people heard this voice, and their hearts trembled, and they all felt like their souls were scattered.

Jin Sili shouted angrily: "Nonsense! He's just a kid pretending to be a ghost, everyone rushed to him and hacked him to death!"

These pirates were all extremely vicious, although they were afraid in their hearts, they still had a fierce spirit in their bones, and they relied on the fact that there were many people, and they suddenly carried knives and axes and weapons one by one, and forced Xiao Xinwang over.
