Chen Shen has not yet recovered from the previous changes in his general's military strategy. He can only attribute this change to the fact that the war is approaching and there is a narrow escape, so the general will put aside all rules and regulations and prepare for a fight to the death.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the old, weak, women and children in the city really have no other use besides continuing to consume food, and they may even become a drag to some extent.
Letting these old, weak, women and children leave Yongchuan City like this is unbearable on the one hand, and there is no harm to oneself on the other. Of course, these are just talking aside from other factors. If this kind of behavior falls into the mouths of the military yamen or the aristocratic families in the temple, it will definitely change the taste.
But if there is a 90% chance of death this time, there is really no need to think about what will happen in the future.
Now that Liu Jianyu had made a decision, Chen Shen no longer tried to persuade him. Then Liu Jianyu said later: "Returning to the general, the situation in the industrial park is much more stable than in the city. There are no signs of homeless people running around on the streets. All the people living there are in the factories of several companies. Around. Now there is a shift every four hours, and the maximum productivity is being produced non-stop throughout the day. In addition to the arrows of the bed crossbow and the cloud shield, there are also a large number of caltrops."
"There must be enough caltrops, soak them in golden juice and sprinkle them all outside the east and south of the city. This thing is very effective in dealing with barbarians who don't wear shoes. This is a rare thing passed down from Shuangqing City. There is a lot of useful information and it must be produced quickly.”
"Yes, General. Currently, several businesses are rushing to make caltrops. More than three thousand caltrops have been scattered so far. It is expected that another two thousand will be released within three days."
Liu Jianyu nodded and continued to ask: "Where is the dock? How is the situation? Are there any escapes like at the dock in Beicheng?"
"No similar situation has been found so far. My subordinates went to the pier and looked at it. All the ships were full of raw materials, but they were much less than before. The remaining ships leaving the port were sending previously ordered ordnance to the other side. Every ship was full. I don’t mean to take anyone on board.”
"Where's Bailang? Have you appeared in the industrial park recently?"
"No. I asked the people at the dock. Nowadays, the defense on the dock is basically taken care of by a person named Zhang Wu. The manager of the dock is Zhang Shun, and the manpower comes from Yang Xiu. Speaking of which, it is still the former Dongcheng Knife Hall. That set."
"I remember that after Chen Ran was transferred back to the barracks, he still left dozens of people in the industrial park, right?" Liu Jianyu suddenly asked.
"Yes General."
"Let these people keep a close eye on the industrial park, especially the dispatch of those in Bailang's hands. They must keep a close eye on it."
"General, are you worried that Bailang will escape before the battle?!" Chen Shen immediately guessed what his general was thinking.
"Yes, Bai Lang is not from our army. You know the situation now. He is good for us in the industrial park, but he may also use the dock to escape at any time. Soldiers are different from ordinary people. This The opening must not be opened. If there is any abnormal movement in Bailang, please notify Li Youjun immediately and let him deal with it."
"Li Youjun?" Chen Shen was a little surprised, because this was an internal matter within the military, and logically speaking, it would be impossible to involve outsiders like Li Youjun.
"Haha, you don't need to understand this. Just think that there is a personal grudge between Bai Lang and Li Youjun, and Bai Lang's strength is probably much stronger than what is reported outside. It is much better to let Li Youjun go than to put in the effort ourselves."
Chen Shen was even more puzzled when he heard this. He didn't think that the disciples of the majestic Yun Sect would have any enmity with Xia Sanlan of the Sword Hall. So much so that even his own generals had to help create an opportunity.
"If Bai Lang doesn't move, don't touch him. If Li Youjun takes the initiative to watch the people under Bai Lang's hands, there is no need to worry about anything else. It is estimated that no one in Yongchuan City will be bothered by that time."
At the same time, two hundred Qingqi set off from Yongchuan City, down Changshui, and rushed towards Shuangqing City. In addition to the two hundred elites that Liu Jianyu now has in his hands, there are also four Qi practitioners accompanying him. One of them is Li Youjun's senior brother, a Qi practitioner in the middle stage of the Xuanmai realm.
All the people on the city wall who watched the two hundred people leaving the city felt uneasy in their hearts. They did not expect that their side's first contact with Yunyan Manzi would be the beginning of their side taking the initiative. As a result, everyone was still very uneasy.
Although everyone familiar with the matter knows that it was a battle with a huge disparity of numbers between two hundred and a dozen. But I still dare not say what the outcome will be.
It was late in the evening when a soldier on the city wall saw a group of light cavalry returning from a distance. It looked like the outfit was that of the two hundred light cavalry vanguard that left earlier.
It’s just that the number was obviously different when I went there and when I came back, and the difference was quite big.
"This should be less than a hundred, right?"
"Shut up! You're talking nonsense!"
A fast-talking soldier on the top of the city was glared hard by the team leader next to him, and he immediately did not dare to speak. And this scene is not an isolated case, it happens many times on this city wall, and not everyone who talks fast will be stopped by his companions.
However, they were getting closer, and there were two huge bodies in the cavalry that were dragged on one or two simple wooden boards by five-flowered ropes.
Barbarian! It's a barbarian!
Caught the barbarian alive!
This discovery immediately dispelled most of the haze about the sharp decline in the number of cavalry just now. What does this mean? It shows that sacrifice is effective. At least he brought back a living person.
The news quickly spread throughout the army. No one tried to control him, because no matter what, it was a good thing to get Yunyan Barbarian's tongue. As for the price to pay for this, only a few people are calculating in their hearts.
"Two hundred elites went out, plus four qi practitioners, including one in the early stage of the Mysterious Vein Realm and one in the middle stage of the Mysterious Vein Realm. Only eighty-one people came back with this power. And the opponent was just a seventeen-member frontline exploration team. .
This battle loss ratio is frighteningly high. Without the support of Qi practitioners, it would probably be even more exaggerated. "
Bailang also received the news, but his status in the army was very marginal, so no more news came. It is estimated that the order will be passed down after the army tortures the two barbarians.
The wait was late at night. Bai Lang has been waiting at the house and hasn't slept. He estimated that whether the torture result was successful or not would not take long.
Sure enough, less than two hours before dawn, the military summons arrived, and Bailang, a marginal man, was also called over. He probably had something important to talk about.
When he entered the main tent of the military camp and saw Liu Jianyu, Bai Lang unexpectedly saw a touch of excitement and joy on his face?
Could it be that those two tongues said some important information? So what kind of fighter did Liu Jianyu see?
When Bailang looked at the sand table in the middle of the tent, he found that a small basin area between Yongchuan City and Shuangqing City was filled with signs representing the Hong Dynasty.
This is?
