During the whole process, Yang Jiangyi and Sima Rulan were with Hua Bushi. Although they felt a little strange in their hearts, they all knew that this young master was always very scheming, and now they saw that he had been busy planning and commanding.
, and did not ask out loud.
It wasn't until all the houses to be demolished were demolished and the stones and wood were piled up at the designated places that Hua Bushi breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "With this arrangement, we can probably fight.
, Hey, he can’t bring all the Dragon Palace tribe members!”
Sima Rulan finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Mr. Hua demolished these houses, but do you want to build fortifications to defend against pirate attacks?"
Sima Rulan was quite knowledgeable about setting up defense fortifications.
Sima Zhufeng once hoped that his daughter would be in charge of Okura City, so he taught her various tactics of arranging troops and formations from an early age, including setting up defense fortifications. When she saw Hua Bushi, she ordered people to demolish many houses and pile them up.
The stones were also used to block several intersections, apparently using these buildings in the city to form an arc-shaped defense line.
However, in Sima Rulan's view, this line of defense is not really tight.
First of all, the defensive circle is too small. It is only 30 feet in front of the Poseidon Temple. Once surrounded by pirates, there is no room for maneuver. Moreover, in such a small defensive circle, there are still two unsealed areas.
The gap exists, and the enemy can still rush in.
Outside the defense circle, Hua Bushi also asked the assassins to demolish some houses, but he didn't know what the purpose was.
Leaving holes is a big taboo in laying out fortifications, just like building a city wall and digging a moat when defending a city, but leaving the city gate open and lowering the suspension bridge to cross the latest chapter of Farming Wealth and Prosperity. Even Sima Rulan
It can be easily seen if you only know how to talk on paper but have no actual combat experience.
In fact, the houses in this Black Dragon City are already low, most of them are only about ten feet high. It is not too difficult to climb up, and they are not suitable for defense. Therefore, Hua Bushi spends so much effort to lay out the buildings, and the most he can do is to
Even if it is better than nothing, it will definitely not have much effect.
However, the young master himself seemed completely unaware of this. His face was full of pride, and he seemed very satisfied with this fortification that was full of loopholes. He smiled and said: "Miss Lan'er is really smart! That's right, here's what's going on
Ju Zheng is about to set up a defensive line here to withstand the attack of three thousand elite pirates."
Three thousand elite pirates?
Sima Rulan's chin almost dropped to the ground, and she was speechless for a long time with her mouth open. After a while, she said: "How did Mr. Hua know that three thousand pirates were coming? And since we have to set up defense, why not just use the city wall, but
Do you want to guard this small area in front of Poseidon Temple?"
Although the walls of Black Dragon City are not that thick, they are at least three feet high. Previously, there were only a few hundred pirates guarding the walls, and the officers and soldiers who forcibly attacked the city suffered a lot. No matter how you look at it, guarding the walls seems to be better than using them.
For these low-rise houses, it is much easier to set up an additional line of defense.
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "The Black Dragon King came up with this empty city plan just to lure us into the city. How could he leave the city wall in vain for us to defend? He would definitely have done something to it. Besides, even if there is no problem with the city wall,
It is three hundred feet long, which is too long. If their three thousand people come up to attack at once, we will not be able to defend it with such a small number of people scattered to defend it."
Sima Rulan knew that what Hua Bushi said was true, and said: "Since Mr. Hua could predict that there would be three thousand pirates to attack, why didn't he just let Mr. Cao leave some more men, that is, Uncle Xiong's Dazhen tribe?
, it’s much better!”
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "If there are too many people left, they will have scruples and will not necessarily attack us first. Only when the pirates think that we are poor and can easily devour us will they come without any scruples."
, 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: "But haven't the five thousand main force of the pirates left the island from the port, and everyone in Longzhi Town has seen it. Could it be that they are lying?"
Hua Bushi said: "They won't lie, but the residents only saw five thousand pirates going to the port, but they didn't know if they were the main force of the Dragon Palace tribe. Moreover, even if they really left the island by boat, they could still come back.
.The Black Dragon King left three thousand on the island is just my estimate. If he had been smarter, he might have left more."
Although there was still a smile on his face, a cold light flashed faintly in his eyes, just like the look on a vicious dog's face when it sees flesh and bones.
Sima Rulan wanted to ask again, but suddenly she saw someone running in the distance. It was the guard of the city lord's palace who had been sent to the city wall to observe what was going on outside the city.
"Miss City Lord, Master Hua! A large group of pirates came from far outside the city. There are at least three or four thousand people!" The guard of the City Lord's Mansion panted and loudly reported.
However, Hua Bushi only waved his hand gently and said: "I know, they came really quickly. Miss Lan'er, please withdraw all the disciples on the city wall. We only need to guard the Poseidon Temple."
He turned around and said: "Hu Jing!"
Mr. Hu and his soldiers finally demolished two houses. He was sitting aside to rest, but he just heard the report from the guard of the city lord's palace. He couldn't help being shocked. At this time, he saw Hua Bushi.
He called out and hurried forward to answer: "The end will be here!"
Hua Bushi said: "You lead your archers, retreat to the Poseidon Temple, prepare your bows and arrows in a horizontal formation, and follow my orders to shoot. Do you understand?"
Hu Jing replied: "The general understands!" His heart was pounding and he couldn't help but interject: "Master Hua, there are thousands of pirates attacking outside the city. Should we send someone into the valley to inform Mr. Cao and ask him to come back for support?
"
Hua Bushi smiled faintly and said: "No need. If I am not mistaken, Mr. Cao and his party may have been trapped by the Black Dragon King now, and it is probably impossible to come back to support. The current battle can only be fought by ourselves.
There were three to four thousand pirates outside the city, but there were only about 400 pirates on their side. The difference in number was almost ten times. When Hu Jing heard that Hua Bushi said that he had to fight on his own, he couldn't believe his ears, and his face was filled with tears.
In an instant, I was so frightened that my blood turned pale.
Is this Young Master Hua crazy?
Sima Rulan asked anxiously: "Mr. Hua just said that people who entered the valley were trapped. Is there any danger?"
Of course what she was worried about was not Cao Muyun, but Xiong Bailing who went into the valley with Cao Muyun.
Hua Bushi said: "Don't worry, Miss Lan'er, Mr. Cao is not a reckless person. They have a large number of people, and there are masters like Qiu Hengbo sitting in charge. The Black Dragon King can only trap them for a while at most, and they will not be in danger."
But in our current battle, the thousands of pirates coming from the other side should be the elite main force among the Dragon Palace tribe, so they need to be dealt with carefully."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
About ninety-nine out of a hundred people in the world are afraid of ghosts, and Jin Sili is no exception.
But when he saw the short figure standing next to the woods, he became furious and cursed: "You bastard kid! How dare you pretend to be a ghost to scare me, I will skin you alive!"
That short figure was none other than Xiao Xinwang.
When chasing him out from the pier, Jin Sili had already seen clearly that among the three people running away on the hillside, the two women were very good at lightness skills, but Xiao Xinwang was just an ordinary aboriginal child.
Because of this, the pirates under his command did not catch Xiao Xinwang for a while, and Jin Sili was not worried. He knew that the child would not be able to escape very far. He only needed to carefully search the nearby mountains and forests.
Will definitely find it.
But he didn't expect that this little bastard actually ran out on his own, yelling and screaming. He was startled, and Jin Sili couldn't help but be angry.
"Come here, arrest that kid!" Jin Sili shouted.
A pirate follower immediately responded and walked towards Xiao Xinwang by the woods. Hai Hongzhu shouted: "Xiao Xinwang, run quickly! Don't let them catch you!"
In her opinion, Xiao Xinwang, a thirteen-year-old child, could not defeat these ferocious pirates. He should have escaped as soon as possible. It was really inappropriate to show up so hastily.
Xiao Xinwang stood there and did not run away. Seeing that he was just a child, the pirate didn't take him seriously. He walked closer in a few steps, reached out and grabbed his collar, trying to pull the child away.
He picked it up. But before the pirate could use any force, Xiao Xinwang waved his right hand, and a blue light flew out and immediately wrapped around his neck!
Before the pirate could understand what was going on, his eyes popped out and he fell to the ground on his back. There was a rattling in his throat. After struggling for a few times, he stopped moving! Only then did everyone get a clear look and wrapped their arms around his neck.
It turned out to be a wisp of green flame, and the pirate was wrapped around the neck by this wisp of flame until he died, just for a moment!
Will-o'-the-wisp! Ordinary flames cannot be such a blue-green color, and even if they are burned, they cannot kill people so quickly!
The pirate's body fell to the ground, and the blue flames were still burning on his neck. Xiao Xinwang's face was also a purple-green color, and the long voice was heard again.
Come out: "Tonight the gate of hell is wide open. King Yama is recruiting people. He will recruit fourteen souls in total. Just accept your fate..."
Including Jin Sili, there were exactly fourteen pirates on this hillside. Excluding the two people Bai Yiling had knocked down before and the one who was burned to death in front of him, the remaining eleven people all trembled in their hearts when they heard this sound.
There is a feeling of being expelled from the soul.
Jin Sili shouted angrily: "Nonsense! He is just a kid who is pretending to be a ghost. Everyone gathered together and hacked him to death!"
These pirates were all extremely vicious people. Although they were scared in their hearts, they still had a spirit of bravery in their hearts. Taking advantage of the large number of people on their side, they all immediately pressed towards Xiao Xinwang with knives, axes and weapons.
