Zhou Hanbei was also upset, so he got up and continued to practice mental techniques, trying to see if he could find a way to gather energy. However, after practicing for a long time, he still found nothing and had no clue. Then he fell asleep in a drowsy state.
Two days later, in the early morning, Qiao Qingqing and Zhou Yao said goodbye to Zhou Keyuan and his son beside the carriage, "Ke Yuan, you must pay attention to safety and take care of yourself." Qiao Qingqing cried.
Zhou Yao also started crying. Zhou Keyuan hugged Qiao Qingqing and said in his ear: "Don't worry, madam, I will pay more attention." After saying that, he turned to Zhou Yao and said, "You should also pay attention to safety on the road and watch more.
Focus on your mother."
"Well, dad, don't worry, I will take good care of my mother." Zhou Yao wiped her tears with her hands and said leaning into Zhou Hanbei's arms.
"Mom, sister, don't worry. I'm watching over my father, and I won't let anything happen to him." Zhou Hanbei patted his chest and promised, "It's getting late. You should leave as soon as possible, and be careful on the way.
It's safe. Send us a letter when you arrive."
Zhou Yao and Qiao Qingqing nodded, got on the carriage, and watched the carriage go farther and farther. They stretched out the window and waved goodbye.
The father and son watched the carriage go away without moving for a long time until they could no longer see it. Zhou Keyuan sighed, "Do you regret staying?"
"My child, I have no regrets. Father, you have been my pride since I was a child. I want to be a great hero like you." Zhou Hanbei clenched his fists and said sonorously.
Zhou Keyuan looked into the distance, wanting to say something, but still couldn't. He slowly turned around and walked towards the military camp. Zhou Hanbei followed his father's steps silently.
At this time in the camp, Zhou Keyuan was still arranging tasks, saying that there were 80,000 defenders in Xifeng City, of which the four battalions of Jackals, Tigers and Leopards totaling 40,000 were regular combat battalions, and there were 10,000 patrol battalions, and the remaining 30,000 were considered reserves.
They are all strong men in the city or surrounding villages. When the farming is busy, they help plant crops and repair houses and military fortifications. When they are not busy, they train in the military camp.
In the past few days, each battalion has been collecting grain and grass, and bringing people from the villages outside the city into the city. The people in the whole city are also cooperating with these orders and not causing trouble to them.
At this time, Zhou Hanbei also quickly asked: "Dad, if Dahuang's army really invades, we will definitely not be able to resist it. Can we recruit some martial arts masters to help?"
Zhou Keyuan shook his head, "No, Jianghu people are not allowed to interfere in national affairs, otherwise all the major factions in Jianghu will attack them." He raised his head and explained, "Besides, people like me can't fight with ordinary soldiers, otherwise they will come.
If a master is dead in one go, then if we send super masters here, everything will be in chaos."
Zhou Hanbei thought for a while and realized that was really the case. That wasn't right: "I am also a cultivator, so I can't kill the enemy?"
"You don't count. At most, you are a newcomer to the world. You are much better than ordinary people, unless you are not a member of the world and only walk in the army." As soon as Zhou Keyuan finished speaking, he heard a soldier reporting that the Lord of the City was here.
Zhou Keyuan got up and went out to greet him. Knowing that it must be a letter from Yandu, the two started discussing at the side. Zhou Hanbei did not say anything and listened quietly. It turned out that Yandu first sent 200,000 reinforcements and 100,000
Come to Xifeng City, and 100,000 yuan go to Wufeng City in the north of Xifeng. As for the rest, you have to wait for the reply of Daxia Dynasty. After all, Yan State is a vassal state of Daxia.
What can these few people do? Even if the army is divided into five times that of Xifeng City, the most important military equipment is enough now, as well as some equipment for defending the city. The people in the city now know some news, and they are in fear all day long.
In this atmosphere, the pressure is increasing.
Some enthusiastic people will also help provide needed things, including medical gauze, medicinal materials and the like.
"Old Zhou, look at what we should do now." Ji Changkong was a little anxious, rubbing his hands. These few people can't hold an army of millions at all, and they don't know when Daxia's support will arrive.
Zhou Keyuan paced back and forth, "Let's wait until the 100,000 arrives." He turned his head and looked at Zhou Hanbei again, "If you have any ideas, it doesn't matter."
Zhou Hanbei was stunned. He didn't expect his father to ask him what he thought, but he still replied, "I think it's impossible to defend. I think we should build fortifications outside the city." At this time, Zhou Keyuan heard Zhou Hanbei say,
Then he became interested, "What do you think should be done? Dao Dao said."
When Zhou Hanbei heard this, he relaxed and became less nervous, and began to talk, "The wilderness is in the Gobi Desert. I don't think I know how to swim. Firstly, I can build fortifications on the other side of the river twenty miles outside the city for sniping; secondly,
Build a dam upstream to store water, and then retreat and open the dam to release the water when it can no longer be blocked; thirdly, dig trench traps ten miles outside the city to create a buffer zone for their cavalry and prevent them from impacting, making it impossible for them to pursue our retreating personnel.
That's all I can think of for now. My father and the city lord will definitely make arrangements for the arrangements in the city." Zhou Hanbei told everything he could think of and what he had read in books.
When Zhou Keyuan and Ji Changkong heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, "Haha, yes, nephew Xian really has the style of your father, not bad." Ji Changkong praised it several times, and the two also adopted Zhou Hanbei's opinion, and then continued
We began to discuss the specific details. Zhou Hanbei was a little embarrassed by the praise, so he picked his head and turned around and walked out the door.
Six days later, an army of 100,000 troops arrived. After Zhou Keyuan and Ji Changkong settled the army, they began to arrange it intensively. They first arranged for people to build dams and store water in the upper reaches of the river, and arranged fortifications to be built along the river to resist the Great Desert Army. Ten miles outside the city
We also arranged for people to dig trenches and traps.
As for the four gates in the city, 20,000 soldiers are stationed at each gate. There are also many rolling logs, falling stones, and bows and arrows. Because the cavalry does not play a big role in the city, plus the 20,000 cavalry who come to support, the total is 40,000.
It was commanded by the Haw Par Battalion and was arranged to be hidden outside the city in case of emergency.
The Jackal Battalion leads the remaining 60,000 infantrymen to conduct sniper attacks outside the city. There is only so much that can be done now. Whether they can be carried down depends on the fate of the personnel. Daxia's support can only be mobilized due to the tight war situation in the north.
The 700,000-strong army will arrive in mid-September.
The capital of the Great Wilderness Kingdom.
At this time, above the royal city, the third prince Han Jin said respectfully to the man on the throne: "Father, two million troops have set off, and the vanguard of 600,000 will detour from the south to the north and the north to the south. The rest
To paralyze the opponent's eyesight, they think we are still preparing."
"Haha, well done, we must conquer the Yan Kingdom this time." The man on the throne said domineeringly. This man's name is Han Tai. He is the emperor of the Wilderness Kingdom. He is also an extremely domineering, vicious and ambitious man.
"It's just that if we use the strength of the whole country, wouldn't it be too risky?" Han Jin said cautiously.
"No, we have the support of Xijiang behind us. They spare no effort to support us, and they must ask for something. Although I don't understand why." Han Tai said, thinking, our Dahuang is just a dog from Xijiang, but as a dog, I
We are also ambitious. As long as we swallow the Yan Kingdom, we will definitely be one step closer. "For us, Xijiang will provide money and people, and everything captured will belong to us, and we will not suffer any loss, so why not do it."
"That's what my father said!" Han Jin replied expressionlessly. Although his father was domineering and ruthless, he was also willful, blindly confident, ambitious but without brains. Even with the support of Xijiang, he would still be punished by others if he conquered the Yan Kingdom.
, just because I was not the eldest son, I was asked to go out with the army, haha... I saw nothing happened, so I resigned and prepared to go out with the follow-up troops.
Outside Xifeng City, Zhou Hanbei and Ji Rufeng were looking at where else they could help. Defense fortifications were being carried out in full swing in various places.
"Brother, do you think we will die?" Ji Rufeng asked worriedly.
"What? Are you scared? No, we haven't conquered this world yet." Zhou Hanbei comforted, putting his arm around Ji Rufeng's shoulders and said, "You are my brother, even if I die, I will die in front of you.
Come, drink, don't think so much." After that, he took out the wine gourd, took a big sip, and handed it to Ji Rufeng.
Ji Rufeng nodded and took the gourd, took a sip, threw it on the ground, and shouted, "Yes, we will conquer this world together and conquer the world!"
After saying that, the two laughed heartily. Yes, at this time, the suppressed emotions need to be vented. The brothers encourage each other and grow up.
"Drive...drive...drive" came the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
It seemed that something was going on, "Let's go, follow." After saying that, the two of them followed on horseback.
When I returned to the military camp, I heard the scout shouting, "General, the enemy has been discovered."
Zhou Keyuan was shocked, stood up and shouted: "Where have they gone?" The scout took a breath and continued, "We found that the enemy army is about 300,000, and it will take about five days to arrive." How did they come so fast? They shouldn't have.
Ah, just as I was thinking about it, the scout said again, "We found that they were taking a detour, probably going south and then north. Their large force in the rear attracted my attention. It is estimated that they will arrive within ten days." After saying that, the scout lowered his head.
He didn't dare to look at the general for fear of being punished.
"Okay, let's continue exploring, and ask what's going on in Wufeng City, go ahead." Zhou Hanbei waved his hand and began to set up another round.
There are still ten days until September, and Dahuang's vanguard troops have 300,000 troops, and Daxia's support will not be until mid-September. What should we do? Ji Rufeng also sent the latest battle situation to Yandu. Unexpectedly, Dahuang actually
It's coming so quickly. Let's follow the previous arrangements.
Five days later, the pioneer troops of the Great Wilderness came to the west wind river to camp and rest. They came, they really came. Looking at the densely packed army on the opposite side, the west wind army, every soldier gritted his teeth and was not afraid, because fear was useless, they
How many of our people are killed every year and we want to eat their flesh and drink their blood. We are not afraid. Come on, we will fight you to the end!
