Chapter 131
Jackdaw Town.
With the help of Li Taihang, the officers and soldiers and civilians in the town obtained a lot of construction materials and began to repair the fortifications of the entire Jackdaw Town.
Lord Zhao and the master were imprisoned.
At this time, the captain of the guard, Guo Kaien, was a little worried. Although he knew that the entire Jackdaw Town was saved and the plague was gone, they learned a shocking secret.
That is, the city lord wanted to create a plague and chaos, and he also took Jackdaw Town for experiments. If this inhumane behavior was exposed, he would definitely die.
"Hey, it seems that I can only cooperate with them this time."
Originally, he was thinking about rescuing Lord Zhao and the master and escaping from Jackdaw Town together.
But thinking of the consequences of their plague being exposed, they felt that they could not bear it.
What's more, Lord Zhao and the master have already lost control. It doesn't matter whether to save them or not. What's important is how to face the encirclement and suppression of the city lord.
Guo Kaien brought a few guards to the county magistrate.
"Mr. County Magistrate."
Just when he wanted to greet the county magistrate, a constable ran over quickly.
The county magistrate was organizing and supervising everyone's work. When he heard the sound, he immediately stopped and looked at the constable who ran over.
"Captain He, what's wrong?"
"The army is coming, it's the Tiefeng Army." Captain He said in a panic.
"What, Tiefeng Army?"
Hearing the Tiefeng Army, the county magistrate took a few steps back and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by Master Li next to him.
"Mr. County Magistrate, are you okay?"
"Nothing."
The county magistrate took a deep breath.
He never expected that it would be the Tiefeng Army. If they came, with their current strength, they would not be able to resist the Tiefeng Army.
After all, the Tiefeng Army is the most elite army in Pingyuan City.
"How many people are coming?"
"30,000!"
"What?" The county magistrate was shocked again. If they had only a few thousand people, the county magistrate would have felt a lot of pressure.
Now, 30,000 people came directly, which was nearly ten times more.
How could they bear it?
"30,000 Tiefeng troops?"
Guo Kaien, the captain of the guard, also took a breath of cold air.
He understood that this meant they were doomed.
"The Tiefeng Army is the most trusted army of the city lord, and it is also the most powerful army. Such a powerful army is actually used to deal with us. Isn't this too much of a compliment to us?"
Suddenly, they were all a little panicked.
Not to mention the county magistrate and the guard, even the officers and soldiers, when they heard the news, all stopped their work at the same time.
They knew very well that once the Tiefeng Army attacked, they would definitely die.
"In fact, we don't have to worry too much. Our terrain is favorable. If they want to attack, they can't send so many people to attack at once. Therefore, as long as we guard the position of the mountain pass, it will be difficult for them to come up."
Master Li quickly comforted everyone.
Everyone heard it and immediately felt that it made sense.
"Yes, Master Li is right. Let's quickly guard the position of the mountain pass."
"Please rest assured, magistrate. We have already placed a large number of rolling stones and the like at the mountain pass."
"Here, we have a lot of stones and wood. It's not so easy for them to attack."
Master Li stroked his beard and smiled.
The county magistrate slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, look at me, I'm really scared by the Tiefeng Army."
Captain He asked, "County magistrate, what should we do now?"
"Needless to say, quickly take people to guard the mountain pass."
"Okay."
Captain He quickly led a group of constables to the mountain pass.
At the same time, he looked at Guo Kaien and said, "Please notify those officers and soldiers to help guard."
"Okay, I know."
Guo Kaien left with his guards.
But Master Li frowned.
"What's wrong?" asked the county magistrate.
"I'm worried that Guo Kaien and those officers and soldiers will unite with them. If they cooperate with each other, we will be finished."
"Don't worry, they have learned the secret of the plague. With the character of the city lord, they can only cooperate with us until the city lord dies or is dealt with."
"Otherwise, the city lord would not have sent 30,000 Iron Front troops. This has already made the city lord's attitude clear."
"Ah." Master Li sighed.
They are also drunk to have such a city lord. However, for them, it is not a bad thing.
"Okay, let's talk to the people and appease them."
"Okay."
The county magistrate and Mr. Li took some constables to appease the people.
And Li Taihang andYe Lan'er was watching everything they did in the dark.
"Brother, is this the so-called God's perspective?"
"Yes, watching them do things, and then, at the right time, helping them, don't you think it's interesting?"
"Well... it seems so." Ye Lan'er suddenly got a little excited and said, "In this way, with our secret help, they will win."
"Hehe, that depends on their strategy."
"What?"
"If they hold on, it may not be beneficial to them. Because they don't know how long they have to hold on. If they spread the news here and let everyone know about this, then the Tiefeng Army will be under pressure and retreat quickly."
"Moreover, at this time, for the Tiefeng Army, no, it should be said that for the city lord of Pingyuan City, his own safety is the most important."
"When he knew that the news was leaked, he had to transfer the Tiefeng Army back to protect himself, instead of continuing to be stupid. The ground put Tie Fengjun here. "Ye Lan'er pursed his mouth, saying:" It seems like this. " "The city's army" Ye Lan'er said in surprise: "I didn't expect the owner to know so much." There is a relatively high and hidden place, watching the direction of Yamaguchi. At this time, there were not only constables at the mountain pass, but also civilians, officers and soldiers, and guards.
The county magistrate, Li Shiye, Guo Kaien, and Liu Tiancheng, the deputy chief officer of officers and soldiers, began to discuss.
"Let's do this. Our officers and soldiers and guards will guard the mountain pass, and you constables will be responsible for guarding the gate. In addition, the civilians will be responsible for supporting supplies and preparing logistics." Liu Tiancheng thought about it and said.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the constables and civilians is not high.
The guards have the highest combat effectiveness, but there are only about twenty people.
And they have the largest number of officers and soldiers, as many as seven or eight hundred people.
"Okay, no problem." Guo Kaien nodded and said.
The county magistrate and Li Shiye naturally had no problem. The county magistrate asked Li Shiye to help with ideas, and he went to arrange for the civilians to prepare for support.
The three parties quickly assigned tasks.
"Looking at their arrangements, there is no problem." Ye Lan'er said.
"Well, it depends on the actual battle situation."
They put their strongest forces in the defensive position, so that they would not be easily broken through by the opponent.
The arrangement in the rear was also safe.
At this time, it depends on how the Tiefeng Army will attack. As they were talking, the spies of the Tiefeng Army also came to the mountain pass.
When they saw the defense at the mountain pass, they frowned immediately.
"Captain, look, those are officers and soldiers, and the guards, why are they guarding the mountain pass?"
Combining the intelligence he knew, the spy captain analyzed: "It is estimated that they have known the purpose of our visit this time."
"That's troublesome now. They knew we were coming and arranged defenses here in advance. It will not be so easy for us to attack."
"That may not be the case. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, we are regular troops after all and have fought countless fierce battles. The opponents are just some officers and soldiers, constables, and ordinary people."
"In terms of combat effectiveness, only the guards can compete with us, but for the rest, we can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor on the front battlefield."
The spy captain's tone was very confident.
When the other spies heard it, they also thought it made sense.
"Okay, let's report the situation to the general."
"Yes."
The team of spies left quickly and returned to the Tiefeng Army.
At this time, Zhao Chong had already realized that the road up the mountain was difficult to walk on, so he did not plan to send the entire army forward.
"General Zhuo, you lead 3,000 people as the vanguard to explore the way first. In addition, if the mountain road is difficult to walk on, you must be more careful."
"Yes, General." Zhuo Zilin responded and immediately led 3,000 people to start moving forward.Zhao Chong ordered the entire army to cut down the surrounding trees to clear a clearing, and then let the army temporarily station here.
When Luo Duozi saw this, he said, "General Zhao, are we waiting here now?"
"The higher we go up Tulong Ridge, the harder it is to walk. If they want to deal with us, they will definitely ambush us. Even if they dare not ambush us, they will set up obstacles in front of us."
"So, instead of going up and getting frustrated, we might as well set up our own camp first."
"Besides, I have sent General Zhuo to explore the way. It won't be long before we can understand the situation above."
"Okay." Luo Duozi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more.
