In fact, Meng Han still has a hidden power that he has not revealed. Although the members of the mercenary group sent by the Wright magician to secretly protect him are small in number, it is certain that they are not simple things. It's just that they are not simple people.
It's still not sure whether they will take action at this time, so Meng Han didn't mention it to Qiao and Zhu.
Now Meng Han is going to the place where the servant of the Wright magician lives. If something like this happens, Meng Han has to inform them, at least to make them prepare in advance. Otherwise, once the Sand Bandit really kills
If the people of Magician Wright are allowed to come in, Meng Han's backing in the field of magicians, at least the current one, will collapse.
This is also the reason why Meng Han insisted on going in person. This is not a respect for the servant, but a respect for the Wright magician behind him. Just like Meng Han treated Louisa and Louise with courtesy, it was not because they were worthy of Meng Han.
It's the elves behind them. The reason is exactly the same.
The servants of Magician Wright met the lord very respectfully, and then listened carefully to the lord's words without saying anything. They neither said that they planned to leave nor that they planned to fight against the sand pirates with everyone.
Meng Han was not surprised. This was not their matter. Meng Han came to inform them not to let them join the battle, but to inform them in advance for their safety. What he wanted to do has been done. As for what others want to do,
How to do it is none of Meng Han's business.
In fact, without the mobilization of Grace and Alice, the ordinary people who had just come to Huangsha Town and were brought in by the mercenaries, after hearing the news that the sand bandits were coming, no longer needed supervision from others.
I spontaneously started working hard.
They had no choice but to leave their original territory, which meant that they had been expelled from the original territory. When they came to Huangsha Town, they became the residents of Huangsha Town. Moreover, the life here was not as terrifying as they imagined, at least they could
They are well fed, clothed, warm and sheltered. How many people who are willing to leave their homes and come to Huangsha Town have lived well in their original territory? Now they have just begun to lead a slightly stable and promising life.
When the sand thieves are about to destroy it, the crowd immediately becomes excited. Even if it is for no other reason than to defend their new home and their new life, it is worth their hard work.
Not only the young and middle-aged people, but also their families, old and young, joined the battle after hearing the news of the sand bandits' attack. Everyone has heard of the ferocity of the sand bandits, and there is nothing more important than protecting yourself, your family, and your home.
Something that makes them work hard.
Qiao and Zhu were responsible for planning the location of a city wall outside the original town, and at the same time determining the location of the deep ditch. The rest was the work of these people. From logging to digging, everyone worked extremely hard.
Originally, Qiao was worried that the construction of this city would be very slow, and a few days might not be enough. However, Meng Han's requirements were not high. He just needed a strong structure that could circle everyone, and people could stand on it to attack.
The simple city wall below can block the cavalry attack. There is no complicated craftsmanship. It is just digging a hole, planting wood of sufficient thickness into it, filling it in, and then connecting it with crossbars after making several rows. It works very quickly.
In less than half a day, by nightfall, Meng Han had already seen a circle of wooden walls appear, at least enough for people to stand on. I believe that just one more day would be enough to meet Meng Han's requirements.
As for traps, even children can dig one or two when they are free. Not to mention deep ditches, they are just digging soil, and there is no technical content. Meng Han saw a circle before the assigned manpower had dinner that night.
A deep trench surrounded the entire town appeared, wide and deep enough. Even if the infantry fell into it, they probably wouldn't be able to climb out easily.
All the excavated earth was filled between the city walls made of several rows of trees, which not only increased the strength of the city wall, but also filled in the gaps between the wood, so that bows and arrows could not penetrate these gaps to attack the people behind, killing two birds with one stone.
.
At this time, the sand bandits have not yet arrived. Meng Han has already relaxed a lot. Gavin and George, two natural scouts, have been sent out. As soon as there is news about the sand bandits, they will quickly report to everyone.
As for the mercenaries who are still in the town, Meng Han gave them two choices, either accept the employment of the lord and jointly resist the sand bandits, or leave. Meng Han did not want to look at a group of people with swords and knives.
They watched helplessly as a group of civilians protected them.
Of course, you can leave. You have to keep the weapons on your body, which are considered to be bought by Meng Han. Meng Han paid a silver coin for every item. As for the workshop of the dwarf brothers, it is even more busy day and night.
Forging ordinary swords, when necessary, civilians will also use them. Meng Han doesn't believe that there are only more than a hundred sand thieves, dare to attack thousands of people with swords?
Meng Han himself was not idle either. In several directions, where Meng Han thought it might be easy to hit, Meng Han deliberately released some ground thorns. The strength of the ground thorns was not high, and the length was not very long, but
, enough to block the speed of the cavalry. That's all Meng Han wants.
People in the whole town didn't rest all night, and they were all working overtime. No one knew when the sand thieves would come. Doing more at this time meant that the sand thieves would come one more time.
The certainty of survival. No one needed to urge us, everyone worked hard spontaneously and no one was lazy.
All the old, weak, sick and disabled have gathered in the town, including the gold coins that Alice brought back from selling the elven art swords this time. Those gold coins are the targets of the sand thieves, so naturally they cannot be left outside for them.
Qiao and Zhu have already calculated how much space is needed to accommodate all the civilians. Therefore, the area marked out by the city wall is sufficient, but it may need to be tightened slightly during this period, not as loose as before. Regarding this point,
, no one had any objection.
Overnight, an ordinary town with no city walls suddenly turned into a fortified city that was almost armed to the teeth. There was a deep ditch outside the city, and outside the deep ditch were two consecutive rows of
Because they had no time to hide in the ditch, they had no choice but to use two rows of rebel horses to block the sand bandits' sight. If they jumped over the first row of rebel horses and continued to attack out of inertia, they would play into Meng Han's hands. Even if they
After skipping the first row, I discovered something was wrong. When I wanted to turn around and go back, it would be very inconvenient. This gave the people on the wall an opportunity to attack.
What Meng Han hates most now is that there are too few bows and arrows. Otherwise, if everyone has a bow and arrow, and they stand on the city wall, no matter how many sand bandits they come, wouldn't it be more than a hundred people? If ten people shoot one, it will be enough to kill them.
Hedgehog.
As for the scattered horse pits scattered outside the city, let alone mention them. Some of these pits are deep, some are shallow, some are large, and some are small. But at this time, who will investigate whether the quality of this kind of project is up to standard? For the cavalry,
It is said that as long as a knight's mount is assassinated, others will not dare to rush on such terrain. Are sand pirates without speed still sand pirates who come and go without a shadow?
"Well, the efficiency is good." After Master Howard finished forging the elves, he did not leave with them. He still stayed in the town. On the one hand, he wanted to teach the brothers Edward and Edwin the forging skills of the dwarves;
, but he hopes to communicate more with Meng Han and see if there is anything else worth learning from Meng Han. Of course he got the news, and now he and Meng Han are looking at a city that appeared on the ground overnight, and they kept thinking.
admiringly.
The dwarves are a race with excellent forging masters. The most forged thing is weapons. Naturally, they know what kind of weapons will be most effective in war. But after seeing a few simple ideas from Meng Han, even if they are self-sufficient and well-informed,
Master Howard couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Which famous military strategist have you studied under?" The first question the dwarf master responded to was this. He never believed that Meng Han could design such a simple but sharp way to let the cavalry ride without anyone's guidance.
Something to be afraid of.
Meng Han shook his head. He used to be a magic apprentice. How could he have time to study military affairs?
"Then do you have a grudge against the cavalry?" Seeing Meng Han's answer, the dwarf master didn't believe it, but at the same time, such a ridiculous statement suddenly appeared in his mind.
The lord himself doesn’t know how to explain it? Could it be that he told the dwarf master that he lived in a society with very advanced information in his previous life and learned many things that are considered miracles to people in this world, but are common sense to that world?
?How is it possible? The lord would rather let the dwarf master think that he is a genius. Although it is a bit shameless, it is better than revealing his secret.
"It seems that you can handle it very well without my help! You can do your own thing. I'll go back and give guidance to those two boys." After following Meng Han around for a while, the dwarf master only left these words.
He directly returned to the dwarf brothers' workshop alone and began to give them instructions. If you want dwarf master-level skills, you can't just talk about it. It requires a lot of practice.
Meng Han had no intention of working as a dwarf master. In his eyes, a master-level dwarf was not a combatant, but a scientific researcher. Even in the original world, scientific researchers were protected targets. How could he want to do this?
He goes to war.
Seeing the miracle that happened overnight, Meng Han felt very proud. The whole team worked together to fight against the enemy, which is what happened before him. Meng Han even looked forward to the arrival of the sand pirates!
Sand Pirates, come quickly. After the battle, everyone will be more united!
