When Bai Lidu and the Ninth Princess rushed back to the south gate of Aihui City, the city lord Tepuqin also walked out of the city gate to greet them as soon as possible.

Bai Lidu also immediately inquired about the situation of the rescued tun people, and the answer was that those tun people had been transferred to Aihui City overnight, and the reason why they did not stay in Heihetun was that the scale of Heihetun was too small to let go of so many tun people, and the other was that Heihetun was too close to the Annunciation City on the other side, and its fortifications were not as strong as Aihui City, so they were transferred.

After a day and a night of defensive deployment, the city defense level of Aihui City has also been raised to a very high level, on the east gate tower facing the river, five foreign extinguishing artillery has also been fixed, and 50 crossbowmen with divine arms and bows have also been stationed on the four sides of the city tower, the north and east due to the proximity to the river, each sent 15, and the west and south are 10 each, as for the remaining 60 spearmen, 50 sword and shield soldiers and 230 crossbowmen have also been arranged for part of the city defense, However, these soldiers are still very mobile and flexible, and they can be mobilized elsewhere at any time as long as Bai Lidu needs them.

Bai Lidu and the Ninth Princess had just returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Tepchin, and before they could sit down, another soldier quickly ran in from outside, shouting as they ran:

"Lord of the city, there is a battle report!"

As soon as Bai Lidu heard it, he knew that it must be a new task coming again, so let's listen to what the other party has to say first.

"Quick talk!" Tepchin is also in a hurry.

"My lord, the spies reported that the Rakshasas of Hailan Pao had dispatched a large group of men and horses, and were rushing to the more than 30 villages on the other side of the river, as if they were going to retaliate against our rescue operation last night, and according to the sentry near the riverbank, they also sent news that the Cossack cavalry of the Rakshasa people had also been found to be abnormal, and it seemed that there was also a possibility of assembling the more than 30 villages in Jiangdong."

When Bai Lidu on the side heard the news, he immediately understood that in 1860, there was no title recorded by later generations as Jiangdong 64 Tun.

"Alright, you can step back first."

"Yes!"

This time, Tepchin asked Bai Lidu again: "Commander Li, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Bai Lidu knew that no matter how he looked at it, in the end, this task would definitely not be able to escape, and he would definitely have to complete it by himself, but he didn't know what the specific requirements of this task were, so he said: "General Zhang, I don't know how many people are there in this more than 30 tuns in Jiangdong?" ”

Tepuqin pondered for a moment and then replied: "Returning to Commander Li, the more than 30 tuns in Jiangdong should have been managed by the deputy capital of my Aihui City, which also included the population survey, but since the previous deputy capital Ji Lamina was removed last year, the successor deputy capital Guan Bao has never arrived, it is said that he is still suppressing thieves in Henan, so the exact number of the population of the tun is unknown, but it has reached 8,000 in the past few years, and now it should be close to 10,000. ”

"So much! How many more people can Aihui City receive? Bai Lidu continued to ask.

"Commander Hui, after Aihui City received 2,000 people from Hailan Pao last night, it can only accept more than 1,000 people at most, if there are more, not only will there be no place for these people to live, but there will also be a shortage of surplus food in the city, I am afraid that at that time, Aihui City will not be self-defeating." Tepchin replied with a serious expression.

The ninth princess on the side also realized the seriousness of the problem, so she also said worriedly: "Yes, it is the harsh winter season, so many people, what if there is no food to eat!" ”

"It seems that if you want to save these people, you can only lead the troops to kill them, and you have to wipe out the Rakshasa people once and for all, so as to completely remove the threat."

"Well, Commander Li, at present, there is only one response you proposed."

As soon as Tepchin's voice fell, Bai Lidu immediately received a new task:

- Task Tips: You have activated the random quest of the current space-time copy [Save the Jiangdong Tunmin], please lead the troops to the area where the Jiangdong 30-odd tun is located, save the local tun people, and destroy or repel the enemy, if the mission fails, the 30-odd tun people in Jiangdong will be slaughtered by the retaliatory slaughter of the Tsarist Russian army, and the military spirit and fighting spirit of the soldiers defending Aihui City will also be seriously shaken, and the combat power will also be greatly reduced.

Since the enemy has already sent troops, there is nothing to hesitate about, after Bai Lidu won the task, he quickly left the City Lord's Mansion with the Ninth Princess.

This time he needs to bring his own troops with him, and Bai Lidu also needs to think about it, and what he has to consider is nothing more than two questions, one is what kind of soldiers to bring, and the other is how many to bring.

If you don't take into account the factors of Russian players, in terms of the number of troops you lead, the more the better, Bai Lidu believes that under the blessing of the aura of his god of war, if he brings all the crossbowmen, the lethality will definitely be unmatched, killing all sides, and even regardless of the time and map limitations, he is sure that he can always lead his troops to Moscow.

But with the long-range sniping of Russian players, coupled with long-range tank bombardment, if you bring too many soldiers, you will inevitably suffer from these deadly long-range attacks, at that time, even if you are still safe, but these soldiers under your command will inevitably suffer, in this case, which types of troops to bring and how many are appropriate?

"Ninth Princess, how many soldiers should we bring this time?" Bai Lidu had no idea, so he had to ask the ninth princess.

"This doesn't need to be asked, of course the more the merrier!" The ninth princess replied simply.

"But the enemy's long-range shooting is very powerful, there are more soldiers, and the target is too big, and the casualties will be great!" Bai Lidu also voiced the concerns in his heart.

"Well, there is indeed a problem, but as long as there is a war, casualties are inevitable, if you worry too much, you will only tie your own hands and feet, then it may also lead to greater casualties, and may even be defeated by the enemy."

The Ninth Princess suddenly said such meaningful words, and it really taught Bai Lidu a lesson.

Soon, Bai Lidu also made up his mind, that is, he would bring 50 spearmen, 40 sword and shield soldiers, and 220 crossbow soldiers with him when he left the city, and all 10 instructors from each class would stay in the city.

Wan Zhen'er, as a crossbow archer's guard academy officer, actually had 30 Zhuge crossbows on his body that had not been sent, so he was also specially seen by Bai Lidu, and told him to use the 30 Zhuge crossbows and 10 crossbow instructors to train as many crossbowmen as possible, and the training targets were also on the spot, that is, Bai Lidu rescued a group of people from the city of Annunciation, of which 984 people were already Bai Lidu's temporary entourage, and 310 of them had been issued with technical knives. And also has actual combat experience, if this group of people can be trained to become a reserve force of crossbowmen, then there is no need to worry about what Russian players will do to their soldiers.

After arranging all this, it was not too early, Bai Lidu took the Ninth Princess, Wei Yixiao and 310 guards and battalion soldiers to rush out of the west gate of Aihui City, as for Li Bai, he was left in Aihui City to assist the city in defending the city.

As soon as Bai Lidu left the city, he also received a new prompt:

- System Prompt: It is detected that you are leading 310 soldiers on a campaign at the moment and are about to enter the battlefield of the official battle, so you activate the battlefield military array system panel, and at the same time obtain the basic military formation skill [Phalanx] attached by the system.
