After saying that, he looked at Xia Chang, "This time, we are fully prepared and strengthening the city defense, so that the city gate will not be broken. As long as we can hold on for more than ten days, we will be able to wait until the general's army returned from the north will come back to support.

."

"Ten days?" Lu Zhaoyi's voice was slightly cold, "I'm afraid everyone knows the date of Grand Sima's return. The other party can think of the attack at this time, so he must have taken this matter into consideration."

When everyone mentioned this, they looked at each other in a daze, and a premonition of unknown origin surged up.

"What do you say about Miss Lu?" Cang Fang asked with a frown.

"If so, they had already expected that the date of Grand Sima's return to the aid would be ten days later?" Lu Zhaoyi said lightly.

With a sound, the house was silent, as if a stone was thrown into the lake, rippling layers.

"If it is true as Miss Lu said, then this battle may not last ten days later?" Xia Chang sighed.

"But..." Just as everyone was in despair, Lu Zhaoyi suddenly looked up and swept across everyone with sharp eyes, "The 30,000 elites I brought and the natural dangers we occupied are they. The river is turbulent and the difficulty of crossing the river.

To consider, we just need to... to take advantage of this natural danger and kill them. In any case, it should not be difficult to hold on to reinforcements."

Xia Chang was stunned and then suddenly realized.

"Yes! The natural danger is on our side. What's urgent is them. We don't need to worry, just keep it."

Cang Fang also understood the power of it, but hesitated a little, "But the other party had 80,000 people after all, and we only depended on 30,000 of us, so I'm afraid..."

"I know what you think." She said in a light tone, but she revealed her toughness. "But we have no choice but to defend Mengjin, and Luo Jing is behind us."

They would not know that Mengjin is important. Once Mengjin is lost, the enemy will be unobstructed and will be able to reach Luojing in one hour.

When everyone thought of this, they shivered and dared not think about it again.

To defend the imperial capital of the dynasty, even if they are willing to sacrifice their lives, they must be kept to the death.

At this time, a noise sounded outside. Lu Zhaoyi turned her eyes and looked at the door. A rushing messenger was covered in sloppy body, looking extremely urgent. After approaching, she didn't pay attention and tripped by the steps below.

The people were crowded on the floor, and the helmet flew out as well.

But this person didn't care about his disorganized attitude and was about to get up immediately, but he was obviously injured and couldn't get up for a while, and shouted at the same time.

"Report~~"

Everyone present panicked.

Lu Zhaoyi looked calm at this moment, turned around, slowly lifted the fallen messenger up, and said gently, "Be careful, why are you so anxious? What happened outside?"

Seeing this, Cang Fang's originally pale face slightly relieved. The messenger was his subordinate. If this aroused this, the future queen in front of him would be unhappy. Perhaps his career in the second half of his life would be affected.

Xia Chang was indeed a little angry at the beginning, but when he saw Lu Zhaoyi so compassionate to the people below, he swallowed the anger, and his cold eyes looked at the messenger, and his eyes seemed to be saying

, You'd better be able to say something.

After he looked at it, the messenger was immediately excited, "Reported that the enemy ship has rushed to the West Wharf and entered the defense line. The West Wharf has empty defense and is about to attack."

A rumbling sound was like a bolt from the blue. Everyone present changed their colors and the air in the room suddenly became cold.

They also said just now that our side occupied natural barriers and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. How long has it been since the enemy troops attacked?

Xia Chang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Damn the thief! Hurry up, please support the West Pier, kill as much as you come!"

"Yes!" The messenger didn't even have time to pick up his helmet and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Lu Zhaoyi.

"stop!"

Everyone looked at her incrediblely, with a slightly stern expression.

They couldn't guess what she wanted to do.

But the next moment, Lu Zhaoyi silently picked up the helmet, put it on the head of the messenger himself, and patted it.

He patted his shoulder and said softly: "I ordered the soldiers from the West Pier to withdraw, and don't let the offensive of ten thousand black armored cavalry accidentally hurt our own brothers."

As soon as this statement was made, everyone present, including the messenger, looked surprised.

She turned around indifferently and was extremely calm, "As soon as I came to Mengjin, I asked 30,000 elite troops to station three docks, the West dock, which is the focus of defense, followed by the Central dock."

The river surface was turbulent and flowed from west to east. Before that, she had thought in her heart.

If the enemy ship is moving too fast, follow the other shore, the enemy camp is located in the northwest, in the middle of Xiaopingjin Pass and Mengjin Pass. Therefore, there are ships that cross the river quickly. The biggest possibility is to rush to the west pier, followed by

Central Pier.

As for the East Wharf, she arranged five thousand shadow guards to garrison, and the rest of the troops were all concentrated in Mengjin Pass, which was most likely to be broken through to the defense.

In this case, she concluded that the enemy would choose to consider taking the pass and occupying a dangerous place, so that the defenders would naturally be defeated, which would allow them to quickly enter the pass and go straight to Luojing.

And this decision happened to fit her plan.

After the messenger withdrew, she looked around and finally stayed on Cang Fang's face, "Mr. Cang, although I have not personally directed it for this period of time, every step of my arrangement has been carefully considered.

, We will definitely be able to keep it!"

This is a promise.

Cang Fang was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly recovered from calmness and nodded, "Don't worry, Miss Lu, you are making up your mind to be sure!"

His voice was loud and powerful. Lu Zhaoyi smiled and then left the room.

Cang Fang immediately ordered the troops to prepare for the battle, and then discussed the strategy with everyone.

There are 10,000 people arranged in the West Wharf, and 17,000 people are composed of Shadow Guards and Arguards.

The most intense battle at the moment is on the river between the West Wharf and the Central Wharf.

Because enemy ships flow along the river surface along the river, crossbows and catapults are basically difficult to hit, and more importantly, they are ground battles at the enemy's arrival gate.

Immediately, Lu Zhaoyi walked towards the sand table, picked up the willow branches and drew a circle in the open space west of Zhongwo, and said, "This place will be an important defense place for us. In the next few days, the frequency of attacks by the enemy will be received by the enemy.

The highest point, once it breaks through, it will directly threaten Guancheng, or even... Luojingcheng!"

Suddenly, a strong man here heard this and immediately stood up and bowed, "I asked for an order to lead a team of elite troops to garrison here!"

"Let's wait first!" Lu Zhaoyi sighed, "We must be prepared to face the battle for a long time. Therefore, while the opponent's attack was slow at night, your people should have a good rest first and hand it over to the guards tonight."

After she finished speaking, the strong man wanted to fight for it, so Cang Fang stopped him at the right time, "Miss Lu said so well, let's retreat first!"

Cang Fang was the commander of Mengjin, and Xia Chang was the general of Zhenwei, so he should have led his troops to come.

Lu Zhaoyi raised her eyes and asked, "How many people did General Xia bring this time?"

"I'm not to hide it!" Xia Chang lowered his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Due to the war in Bingzhou, Luojing was empty. This time he only brought 10,000 troops and 20,000 troops, and was led by my cousin Xia Yuanfeng and stationed in the garrison. In Xiaopingjin Pass!”

After hearing this, she lowered her head and thought to herself: Maybe this is the emperor's arrangement.

Since Xiaopingjin Pass is located west of Mengjin, and the enemy on the other side wants to attack Xiaopingjin Pass, they cannot attack at all because the river water itself is turbulent and cannot go up the *** ship. Chinese website

However, Xia Pei sent troops to garrison. More, it was probably an attacking move. Crossing the river from the south bank and the ships flowed eastward along the water, so they could naturally attack the enemy camp on the opposite shore.

Now, there is no movement in the direction of Xiaopingjin Pass. Perhaps this is because of this, the attack on the other side is not too fierce, because some of the troops must be left to prevent the sudden attack of Xiaopingjin.

As long as Xiaopingjin's troops remained unmoved, the other side did not dare to devote all their troops to the battle to attack Mengjin.

Thinking of this, she really wants to thank Xia Pei.

Xia Yuanfeng's uncontrollable troops at least held back the other side of the strait

Thirty or forty thousand people also allow Mengjin Pass to ensure temporary stability and avoid easy loss.

But, it is only for the time being.

"General Xia, the enemy's attack is slow. I suggest that while the enemy's offensive slows down, we will strengthen the defense at the gate and accelerate the construction of fortifications, which will increase at least three times!"

Kura Fang frowned slightly, "Three times?"

He glanced at the sand table and said, "There are three docks at the gates and six fortifications in total. If reinforced three times, it may cause material loss!"

Lu Zhaoyi shook her head, "There is nothing in terms of materials. She just needs to allocate enough troops and guard various levels. The main reason is that we cannot sit and wait for death!"

Xia Yuanfeng has been holding his troops unmoved, which undoubtedly puts great pressure on the enemy on the other side. If he continues, after a long time, the opponent will no longer care about the victory or defeat and will no longer care about the garrison in Xiaopingjin Pass. If he goes all out, Mengjin will be destined to fall!

If Mengjin wants to defend, he can only strengthen his defense and build fortifications that can resist the enemy's attack speed when the opponent reacts, which may be able to delay.

Cang Fang pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Miss Lu said so much. Since that's the case, I will do what Miss Lu said tomorrow morning!"

The next morning, the defense lines in Mengjin were escalating in various places, and all patrol soldiers in various places were put on armor and were fully armed.

And these changes, Duke Qi, who was far away on the other side, naturally noticed them. He immediately roared: "What's going on? The mere Mengjin Pass has been around for the whole night, and it hasn't been captured yet, a bunch of waste!"

"Report to my grandfather, there were suddenly tens of thousands of people guarding Mengjin Pass last night. Our people suffered heavy losses at the West Wharf!" The deputy general hurriedly explained.

Another deputy general also came out and said: "Besides, those tens of thousands of people, all of whom are extremely skilled in martial arts, are very similar to..."

"What does it look like?" Duke Qi asked hurriedly.

"Very, it's very similar to... the tiger cavalry and black armored guards who were famous all over the world..."

"Tiger Cavalry...Black Armor Guard..."

Duke Qi was stunned, as if the ball was deflated, and slowly sat down, muttering to himself, "Gou... Gou Chenzi!"

"Mr. Master, don't worry. In my opinion, they were not the tiger cavalry and black armor guards back then. After all, the tiger cavalry and black armor guards had long disappeared from the world with Duke Wu. Now, this force,

It should be the recent rise, and back then, those people..." The general hesitated for a moment before saying, "They should be dead."

Duke Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, "Nonsense! How can the tiger cavalry and the black armor guard die so easily? Moreover, just a few years have passed? You idiots."

He became more and more angry as he spoke. "The iron cavalry formed by Duke Wu back then that made the world scared all the people, all were dispatched by Gou Chenzi, and they only obeyed Gou Chenzi!"

"In the letter Sikong said that the Duke of Zhenguo was dead?"

"Shut up!" Duke Qi shook his head, panicked, and his thoughts changed, "If Gou Chenzi was not dead, would Wu Sikong himself be treason?"

"No! No!" He raised his hand and instructed the two deputy generals, "This matter is strange. You go and give orders. This time, the five thousand people from my Bai family who came with the army will stop immediately and return to the camp."
