Chapter 671 Calling people

According to the situation in Yan Sheng’s country, there will only be zero and countless times of uprising.

When the civil strife broke out, there was undoubtedly some excitement in Yan Sheng's country.

After the news was passed back, while Yan Sheng was so angry that his blood pressure soared, he almost roared and ordered the remaining three of the Four Dragon Generals to lead the border garrisons stationed on the other three sides to quell the rebellion.

During this period, regardless of whether the border garrisons on the three sides can successfully suppress the rebellion, Yan Sheng's order to recruit 7,000 soldiers is basically certain to fail.

Blackrock City is relatively stable at the moment. After all, no one dares to revolt under his nose.

But it is impossible for him to recruit all his 7,000 troops from Black Rock City.

Not to mention that Black Stone City had already recruited soldiers twice before, the total population of Black Stone City was only about 7,000 people at most, including a large number of the elderly, the weak, women and children, so it was impossible to recruit 7,000 able-bodied men.

According to the original plan, these 7,000 troops had to be recruited from cities across the country, with each city recruiting one to two thousand. To some extent, this could be considered the whole country's strength.

But now the country was in chaos, and the Xishan City behind it directly announced the restoration of the name of Jingguo and regained its independence. That night, Yan Sheng was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night and couldn't close his eyes at all.

In addition, there were uprisings in other cities. How could he recruit soldiers?

This situation almost drove Yan Sheng crazy.

You know, he had been pent up with anger for so long that he originally wanted to vent his anger by killing all the enemy troops in Huangsha City after gathering an army of 10,000.

But now, the 10,000-strong army cannot be assembled at all, and the anger in their hearts is pent up with nowhere to vent, which is really going to cause internal injuries.

"Go and call that eunuch over to me!"

After the order was given, Li Wenjian went in with a livid face. Soon, bursts of shrill screams were heard from the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.

At the same time, Zhou Xu, who was the secret promoter, was concentrating on staring at the iron plate in front of him, which was constantly emitting hot steam and making sizzling sounds.

"Now!"

As he spoke, Zhou Xu used the small wooden spatula in his hands to scoop and flip the fried egg. With a "pop", the originally intact fried egg broke into pieces.

"Tsk, this is boring. I haven't cooked for a long time. My cooking skills are really rusty."

Looking at the broken fried egg, Zhou Xu flipped it over casually a few times, sprinkled some salt on it, and put it into his mouth.

Ever since he sent Kong Daqian away two days ago, he has been completely free.

No matter how lively the country on the other side is, Huangsha City is undoubtedly peaceful, even a little boring.

And Zhou Xu now has no idea about the situation on the other side.

There is no way. It is not convenient for them to transmit information at this stage, let alone transmit information between the enemy and our own positions.

But even so, he can only stay in Huangsha City honestly, because he is an important part of the combat power on the front line as he can control the skeleton troops on a large scale.

Although Shi Lei was also given the ability to control skeleton soldiers by him, his true power is stronger than Shi Lei's at this stage, which means that he can mobilize a larger skeleton army and let them fight for a longer time.

In addition, there is another very crucial point, which is that Shi Lei is the commander-in-chief of the front-line troops.

In the previous defensive battle, Shi Lei was in charge of commanding the battle on their side, while he was in charge of controlling the skeleton troops, thus forming a division of labor and cooperation.

Once these two tasks are concentrated on one person, that person will have to do two things at the same time in a complex battlefield environment. The pressure is very high, and if you are not careful, it is easy to mess up both sides.

In this case, taking various factors into consideration and the current unclear situation, Zhou Xu really didn't dare to leave easily.

He was afraid that something unexpected would happen as soon as he left, ruining his good situation.

But if he stayed here all the time, it would indeed delay things. Thinking of this, Zhou Xu couldn't help but come up with a new idea.

He couldn't go back, so why not just call him over? Although it would take about a month to get here after such a long journey, judging from the current situation, he would only stay here longer than that.

As for the possible risks of Huangsha City as a frontline city...

It cannot be said that there is no possibility at all, but considering the current situation, coupled with the skeleton troops in his hands and the city defense troops commanded by Shi Lei, Zhou Xu does not think that the other party can still take back the Huangsha City.

Besides, he, the king, is here and has not considered any risks. As a subordinate, does he want to die by considering this?

After the order was issued here, it was quickly transmitted back to the territory of Da Zhou.

Almost a month passed after that, and with the energy channel opened again, the logistics troops brought not only supplies but also the people their king wanted.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"No need to be polite!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

In the City Lord's Mansion of Huangsha City, Zhou Xu was immediately delighted when he saw Zhuang Mengdie, and then waved to her.

"Come here and take a look at this design!"

After hearing this, Zhuang Mengdie did not stick to the etiquette and immediately took a few steps forward and set his eyes on the design drawing on the table.

"Your Majesty, do you want to improve the bed crossbow?"

At this moment, the thing on the design drawing is obviously a bed crossbow.

But the difference from the three-bow crossbow is that the crossbow in the design drawing has become a single-bow style.

This also aroused some curiosity in Zhuang Mengdie's heart.

Zhou Xu did not keep the secret and explained immediately...

"It's like this. I want the crossbow to be useful in city defense battles, but the three-bow crossbow we made in the past can't even get on the wall."

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.

"Just saying this may not make your feelings clear enough, so let's go directly to the wall."

Zhou Xu was also a man of swift and decisive actions when it came to doing things. While he was speaking, he ordered people to prepare the carriage and set off immediately.

Apart from the front-line troops that have been stationed in Huangsha City for almost a year, occupying the city and fighting a city defense battle is a completely new field for their Great Zhou.

Take Zhuang Mengdie for example. As one of the deputy ministers of the Ordnance Equipment Department, her main job is to research, develop and manufacture various military equipment.

But under this premise, she didn't know what city defense warfare was, or she didn't know the form of city defense warfare. So when she was developing and manufacturing military equipment, she would not take into account the problems that might be encountered in city defense warfare.

In response to this situation, Zhou Xu took Zhuang Mengdie to the top of the wall of Huangsha City in the simplest and most brutal way! 　Update is here, and thanks to the book friend '懒散会心' for the reward!
