"According to the shopkeeper, all of them have been trained, and they are ready for a battle."

Lu Chensheng relaxed when he heard the words, "Very well, get ready, let's start making arrangements in a while, and build the defense outside the city."

"Yes!"

When Cheng Xue heard the words, she immediately went down in response.

In the days that followed, I saw Xing Hancheng suddenly start to get busy again, constantly moving things outside.

The people outside the city have been a little panicked.

Because they heard that the Tartars were coming, they wanted to ask if they could go to the city to hide for a while.

After all, they have heard about it for a long time. How can they not be afraid of the murderous name of the Tartars?

If they entered the city, the tall city walls could give them a sense of security, and it would not be easy for the Tartars to break into the city.

To their disappointment, Xing Seoul did not agree.

Seeing this scene, some people wanted to leave, but when they were penniless, where would it not be a death?

What's more, there are still crops they planted here, isn't it a pity to leave like this?

So after much deliberation, they still stayed.

Today, something happened that made them breathe a sigh of relief.

I saw a large number of soldiers starting to walk out of the city, and then began to build defenses outside the rice fields, and prepared to set up camp.

Such a situation made them happy.

At first, I thought that Xing Hancheng didn't plan to control their life or death.

Now it seems that they are thinking too much, and it is estimated that Xinghancheng is not willing to give up the more than [-] mu of land outside.

It's just that some of the things these soldiers are holding in their hands are really incomprehensible.

Can't see what it's for at all.

Lu Chensheng stood on the city wall and watched the soldiers in the distance busy, and then built the fortifications, and felt relieved when he saw that there were no gaps.

Bai Yi also walked up to the city wall at this moment.

"Why did the lady come out?"

Seeing Bai Yi, Lu Chensheng hurriedly stepped forward to carefully support Bai Yi, his face full of nervousness.

Bai Yi felt a little helpless, and her phoenix eyes glanced at Lu Chensheng.

"Husband, I'm not a weak woman. Even if I'm in confinement, it's been a few months. It's okay to go out for a walk."

Bai Yi heard the news about the ethnic groups on the grassland, and felt uneasy, so she came out to look around, to see if there was anyone who needed help, and also checked Chengxue to see if she made a mistake somewhere.

"The lady has just given birth, so she will definitely be weaker."

Lu Chensheng listened, but nodded in response.

These words made Bai Yi a little at a loss for what to say. On the one hand, he felt that Lu Chensheng really cared about him, but on the other hand, he also felt that his body was not that weak.

"By the way, why does the lady call her husband now, didn't she always call her husband before?"

Lu Chensheng suddenly asked a little strangely.

"Hearing that my sister yelled a lot, I just yelled like this."

There was no other expression on Bai Yiqiao's face. Hearing that Qiongyue called her husband a lot, she sometimes learned to start calling.

In fact, sometimes Qiongyue would make a mistake and call her Xianggong.

And that Xiaoyu sometimes called son, instead of uncle.

When Lu Chensheng heard the words, he didn't care about the name, but carefully supported Bai Yi, fearing that the other party would have any accidents.

"Chengxue's work is not bad, my lady can rest assured."

Cheng Xue is the person who has followed Bai Yi the longest, and she is also extremely intelligent.

These have gone through several battles since Bai Yi taught the military power to Cheng Xue, Lu Chensheng's recognition of the other party.

Hearing her husband praise Chengxue, Bai Yi also nodded.

"Chengxue does have talent in this area. He just needs to practice more. It is not impossible for him to be on his own in the future. In addition, there are a few other people who have performed quite well."

Bai Yi is still quite concerned about this aspect. She will read every battle report and ask some people about their performance.

Judging by her appearance, she should have the intention to cultivate some people, so that Lu Chensheng can be used by someone at that time.

Naturally, Lu Chensheng has no opinion on who Bai Yi wants to cultivate, and it is actually better to cultivate some people, so that Lu Chensheng can also use some people in the future.

Chapter 5 Thirteen Discussion Countermeasures

The two stood on the city wall, Lu Chensheng and Bai Yi talked about some of Chengxue's arrangements and some fortifications.

After listening to Bai Yi, he didn't have any suggestions on the fortifications, but he had some more suggestions on the arrangement of soldiers and horses, as well as the placement of the camp.

Lu Chensheng called Chengxue and asked Chengxue to discuss with Bai Yi.

Compared with Lu Chensheng, Bai Yi's formation of soldiers was much stronger, so it was Bai Yi who had the final say on this matter.

After a while, Cheng Xue hurried back after hearing this, she wanted to readjust the deployment of troops.

After Bai Yi saw that there was no problem, Lu Chensheng protected Bai Yi and walked down the city wall.

"If the Tartars want to attack Han City, I'm afraid they will use the ideas of the people outside the city. When those people attack the city, they will get rid of the siege equipment made by some craftsmen they carry, and drive some Han captives away. , come to fight the city."

Bai Yi walked aside, talking with Lu Chensheng about her own analysis.

"Didn't Mr. Xiang say that many soldiers and horses on the grassland disappeared, and some of them came for the people outside the city.

As long as tens of thousands of people outside are captured, even if Xianggong uses iron and blood methods to deal with it, it will consume a lot of arrows in the city, and the opponent can take advantage of it. "

Bai Yi and Lu Chensheng talked about their own thoughts.

She had studied the offensive methods of the Tartars.

Generally speaking, it is to besiege the city, cut off water and supplies, and then spread some words around.

In a surrounded city, after some rumors spread, it is really possible to directly crush the opponent from the inside.

Even the people in the city will feel uneasy because of this.

And if the morale of the army is shaken, it will be even more terrifying, basically it is easy to collapse at a touch.

Another method is to bring some craftsmen to build siege equipment on the spot, or to capture the Han people and use them as siege tools.

It would be even more useful if there were relatives of these captives on the city wall.

Basically, the opponent's means are these, although they seem to be very simple, there is no change in the back and forth.

But it can't stand it.

"Well, my husband also thought of it, so I am also preparing to fight the opponent outside the city."

Lu Chensheng nodded in agreement.

Not only that, but Lu Chensheng also prepared some gifts for the other party, hoping that the other party likes it.

"There seems to be no news from the Jurchen side of the spies. My husband said earlier that the Tartars and the Jurchen had some contacts. Why is there no news from that side this time?"

When Lu Chensheng heard this, his face suddenly became slightly solemn.

He had forgotten about it.

"Gu Zhifang? Call Gu Zhifang."

Lu Chensheng quickly called out.

Sometimes there are too many things, and he will indeed forget some things. In addition, his subordinates did not give any information about the other party, so Lu Chensheng simply forgot.

Gu Zhifang was hurriedly called to Lu Chensheng.

When Lu Chensheng asked about the situation of the Jurchen tribe, Gu Zhifang's face turned bitter.

"The shopkeeper, it's not that he doesn't send people there, he has already sent people there, but the situation over there is more complicated, and the Jurchens seem to deliberately guard against outsiders, our people can't get close, so there has been no particularly useful news .”

In order to reduce Lu Chensheng's workload, things like this were handled by Gu Zhifang himself, and then he figured out a way.

So I never reported it to Lu Chensheng.

Lu Chensheng's expression brightened slightly when he heard the words, it's not as if the other party was left here.

There is a difference between not doing it and not doing it.

"Those tribes on the grassland are acting so fiercely now, presumably the Jurchen tribe has some movement, but there is no news at all?"

Lu Chensheng asked.

Gu Zhifang shook his head, "I haven't found out the news yet, and judging from the other party's strict defense, it may not be true that he has made some moves."

Hearing these words, Lu Chensheng waved his hand, signaling Gu Zhifang to go down.

The Jurchens are also very powerful.

Compared with those Tartars, the individual duel ability is actually much better than that of the other party. It's a pity that the Jurchen tribe has a small population. Otherwise, the power may be stronger than those of the Zada ​​tribe. few.

"My husband wants to give the other party a surprise, but I don't know if the other party also wants to give my husband a surprise, and join forces with Jurchen to attack Xing Seoul?"

Lu Chensheng frowned, not knowing what the Jurchen clan was doing.

So even guessing is hard to guess.

"Master, let's send some more scouts out to have a look. If there are many enemies coming, it's better to place the defense line on the city wall. As for the fields outside, it doesn't matter."

There are more than [-] mu of fields, and now the ears of rice are hanging down, and they can be harvested in some time.

If he gave way now, not to mention the common people, even Lu Chensheng would feel distressed.

But how much depends on the situation. If there are hundreds of thousands of enemies coming, the field will be given up.

Otherwise, Xing Seoul would be at a disadvantage in a head-on confrontation.

Bai Yi knew that Lu Chensheng was a little bit reluctant to part with the fields outside, that's why he stuck to it outside, but sticking to it also depends on the situation.

Lu Chensheng nodded, he is not a pedantic person.

The rice field will make him feel bad, but if too many soldiers died in the First World War, it will make Lu Chensheng feel even more distressed.

"Send more scouts, if there is really a large army coming, it will be to give up the fields outside."

Lu Chensheng nodded in response, generally speaking, it is unlikely.

To fight a small star city, you will come with hundreds of thousands of troops, and then you will have to fight the dynasty.

Even if Lu Chensheng was asked to come, Lu Chensheng would not do this.

Lu Chensheng felt that the other party should not value him so much.

Rumble

A dull voice sounded, and the dark clouds pressed towards Xinghan City, and the electric light shuttled non-stop among the clouds.

Under the dreary weather, everyone felt like there was a pressure in their chests.

After another thunderclap, the bean-sized rain began to fall, and then turned into a torrential downpour.

In an instant, there was a curtain of rain between the sky and the earth. From a distance, it was just gray rain, falling continuously.

It seems that the water that has been accumulated for a long time is about to pour down at this moment.

The two daughters, Yueyue, seem to like rainy days quite a bit, babbling and babbling at the rain curtain under the eaves with their little hands open.

Lu Chensheng sat in the study, looking at the rain curtain outside with a little thought.

After the rain has passed, I am afraid that autumn will be ushered in. The coolness of autumn is originally loved by people.

It's a pity that this autumn is full of chills.

The heavy rain didn't last long, like this heavy rain outside the Great Wall, it will only fall for a while, any extra moment is like giving you alms.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of water in Xing Seoul now, so whether there is rain or not, everyone doesn't care much.
