In Feng County, hundreds of people are frantically strengthening the city wall, inside and outside the city, as if it has become a big construction site. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info originally outside the city, there were large tracts of crops to be harvested, and now they have long been cut clean, for the people, it can be said that the loss is not large, just a few months, there can be a fruitful harvest, and now, these crops that have been harvested in advance can only become the rations of the livestock. The people are distressed!

Who is to blame? Of course, blame the damn Qi people, who robbed us of so much land, and they were not reconciled, and now they are coming again. There was no need to mobilize, there was no wages, and when the proclamations spread all over the country, countless people with tools gathered here from all directions and began to build a defensive line.

Feng County was defended by the Houtu camp that hurried from the county town of Shayang. In the past two years, the Houtu Battalion has also experienced a lot of battles, from the original city gate army, to later participate in the war to destroy the former Vietnam, and then went to the four counties of the North many times to defend in turn, although this army, although it is not as good as the old war camps such as Rock, Miner, and Blue Wolf, but compared to the battalions such as the Flood Giant Wood that were awarded the battalion number together, it is not much better.

Liu Xingwen cherishes these opportunities very much, because he can become a general of the regular field army again, and he can let a city gate army get a regular battalion flag and battalion number, and his father, Mrs. Liu, can be said to have paid a lot. The current Shayang Five Families, the most powerful, are not their Liu family, Tian family, and Chen family's strength is not worse than them at all.

Shayang is their hometown, and the Houtu Battalion, from top to bottom, are all Shayang people, so in this battle, Liu Xingwen is not worried about the courage of the soldiers to defend their families and the country, he is just worried, after this battle, how many men will be left in the Houtu Battalion? How long can you last on your own?

Judging from the above plan, there is not much confidence in how long the Houtu camp will be guarded, and the orders given to him are also alive. Fight and retreat, delay time, the bottom line is Shayang County. The imperial court was prepared to defeat Shayang County.

But Liu Xingwen is really unwilling! Not only him, but Chen Jialuo, the tiger battalion who is now rushing to Shayang County, is also unwilling. Both of them are from Shayang, back then, how much did they pay to protect Shayang from the poison of the Shuntian Army? Now Shayang County has become the second largest county outside the capital of Yuejing, and its influence in all aspects of politics and economy has long surpassed that of Zhengyang County.

Standing at the head of the city, he stared at the defensive position that had gradually taken shape outside, but his heart was fierce. Why can't you keep the enemy out of the country? Why can't you hold Feng County?

Slowly turning his head, he took a deep breath as he looked at the energetic soldiers in the city, and at the latest piles of weapons that had just been transported from Daye City and Taiping City.

I will definitely be able to hold it.

The defense system outside the city can be completed soon, and when the time comes, these weapons will be able to form an impregnable defense area with the defense of the city, although the Houtu battalion is only 5,000 soldiers, but the county soldiers from all the counties of Shayang have arrived in an endless stream, which makes the defense of Feng County has reached 10,000 people. This is also the limit of what Fengxian County can accommodate.

"Young Master." Liu Bao's voice came from behind him, this old housekeeper of the Liu family is now already a general of the imperial court, and he is the deputy general of the Houtu Battalion, and in terms of his martial arts cultivation, he is even higher than Liu Xingwen.

Liu Xingwen turned around and saw his father, Mrs. Liu, walking over on crutches.

"Dad, your old man is not resting in Taiping City, what are you doing here?" He hurriedly took two steps to meet him.

Old lady Liu smiled: "What? Am I ready to die? Although the bones of the body are old, it is still appropriate to clean you up. I heard Liu Bao say, are you going to defend Feng County and not retreat? ”

Liu Xingwen nodded: "Although the military department means to fight and retreat and delay time, my plan is not to retreat in Feng County, even if my thick soil camp is wiped out." ”

"The meaning of the military department is actually that you can't hold Feng County, so you have this order." Old lady Liu glanced at the hot construction site below through the battlements, "The staff department set up by His Majesty the Emperor in the Ministry of War, not only read through the military books, but also has many experienced old men on the battlefield, they have deduced many times, and they all think that in Shayang, we can't withstand the attack of the Qi people, so we have a plan to exchange Shayang for the victory of the entire battle." It is right to delay the time, when Zhengyang County exterminates the barbarians, and His Majesty the Emperor defeats the Qin people in Zhongping County, the Qi people will naturally retreat. ”

"If I defend Feng County, I can also achieve this goal." Liu Xingwen said.

"Of course, Xingwen, if you can defend Shayang County in this battle, then you will really become famous, and you can compare to Zhang Kitten and others!" Old lady Liu's crutches paused, "Up and down, they will look at you with admiration." My Liu's second ZTE, that's really hopeful. So this time, I'm here to help. ”

"Daddy......"

Old lady Liu interrupted Liu Xingwen's words with a wave of his hand, "I know what you want to say, I also know what my own body looks like, I won't live long, I can survive until now, and I have to thank Doctor Shu for being able to fight happily before I die, not in bed but for the country, but also for my family and die on the battlefield, then I Liu will not be in vain in this life." ”

Old lady Liu laughed: "I have nothing to regret, my family is prosperous, my children and grandchildren are full, and now I am even more famous all over the world. ”

Liu Xingwen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he knew Lao Tzu's temper, since he had already decided, he didn't want to get it back.

"By the way, the queen mother and Aunt Ying will also rush to Feng County." Old lady Liu said.

"Didn't you say that they stayed in Shayang County? What are you doing here? Liu Xingwen was a little angry, "When they came, I was tied up in commanding the battle, and I also sent people to protect them, isn't this adding to the chaos?" ”

Old lady Liu smiled: "Do they need your protection?" Come on, the queen mother is on the front line, it has a great effect on morale, the two of them, one is a master at the ninth level, the other is a master at the grandmaster level, when they arrive in Feng County, that is a big killer, son, if you can hold Feng County under the nose of the queen mother, then the result will be more complete. As for commanding the battle, you can rest assured that the queen will not interfere. ”

Mrs. Liu was right, but Liu Xingwen actually didn't want these two Bodhisattvas to come to Fengxian County.

But whether Liu Xingwen wanted it or not, on the night of the same day, Aunt Ying accompanied Min Ruoxi to Feng County, accompanied by only a hundred palace guards, all of whom were very young, most of them were fourteen or fifteen years old.

"General Liu, I am here with Aunt Ying, not to point fingers, to command the battle, we don't understand." Min Ruoxi went straight to the point, which also made Liu Xingwen and the generals under his command breathe a sigh of relief. "We are here to be soldiers for you, charge into battle, you will definitely block it, but if the other party has a master that you can't stop, then leave it to me and Aunt Ying."

Old lady Liu smiled and said: "In Xiaoxiao Feng County, there are mothers and aunts in charge, which can be described as solid." ”

Liu Xingwen said: "Although Niangniang sits high and watches the battle, the army fights, that is, they have the grandmaster in person, thousands of swords, such as locusts and arrows, but also let him take care of himself, on the battlefield of thousands of troops and horses, personal martial arts, in fact, the role is still limited." We are confident that we can stop them. ”

"Be prepared." Min Ruoxi said with a smile: "I heard Old Lady Liu say, if you want to defend Feng County, this difficulty is not small, and even His Majesty the Emperor has no confidence." Tell me, what have you done during this time? ”

Liu Xingwen said with a smile: "There is no other, only the lives of the three armies, Niangniang, now Feng County and the county soldiers have gathered 10,000 horses, but the county soldiers are weak, I urgently transferred a group of veterans from the Houtu camp to take them, I believe there will be some progress." In this battle, I was going to put 5,000 thick earth camps outside the city, while the county soldiers remained inside the city. ”

"It's a bit risky." Min Ruoxi frowned.

"The city of Fengxian is too small for 10,000 horses to fit at all, and if the county soldiers are placed outside the city, it will cause greater casualties. Let them stay in the city for a period of time, Your Majesty said that war is the best place to hone soldiers, and the longer they last, the more mature they will be, and at a certain time, I will slowly rotate them. ”

Min Ruoxi nodded and said, "How to fight, you just call the shots." ”

"Thank you, mother. In fact, what we need most in the Ming Dynasty this time is time, the later the Qi army attacks, the greater our hope of winning the final victory, so the minister also did some other work, such as bribery. ”

"Huh?" Min Ruoxi looked at each other with a pair of wonderful eyes: "Bribe? ”

"Yes, bribes, but the bribes are given to the people of Qi. Dengxian Liangda, over the years, we are also our old acquaintances, we have a lot of business contacts, this time we launched in advance, they were caught off guard, in fact, we are not fully ready, at least in Feng County, we are not ready. Therefore, the minister sent a large amount of gold and silver treasures to Liang Da. My intention is obvious, that is, he should not attack us in such a hurry and delay the time. ”

"It worked?" Min Ruoxi felt a little incredible.

"It worked, at least until now, the Qin army has not attacked." Liu Xingwen said with a smile: "Because of our early launch, the main force and main generals of the Qi army have not yet been arranged, but there are originally 10,000 Qi troops in Dengxian County, if Liang Da waves his troops to attack at that time, we will be in trouble." At least we can't build such a complete defense system. ”

Min Ruoxi smiled and shook her head: "It's really a big forest, and there are all kinds of birds!" ”
