Chapter 121 Preparations before the Enemy
For Lin Qianqian, the two most important things at the moment are, on the one hand, to appease the people, and on the other hand, to meet the enemy.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Beiyue City, these soldiers have been a group of disorganized people under the leadership of Qin Chuan for a long time.
We haven't fought a proper war in several years and have no practical experience at all.
The northern barbarians are very brave, and these hundreds of thousands of people may not be able to win against twenty thousand northern barbarians.
Now all the city gates are only defended and not attacked, because Qin Chuan has not issued an order to attack the enemy.
Wei Feng was responsible for guarding the North Gate, but he was more worried about the East Gate.
Because the city wall had been in disrepair for a long time and Qin Chuan did not pay much attention to it, a part of the city wall next to the east gate collapsed, about 10 meters.
If the enemy attacks from there, it will be easy for them to get in.
"General Hu, the north gate is secure. You guard it first. I will go to reinforce the east gate."
"No need." It was a female voice that Wei Feng was familiar with, and it was also the voice that haunted him, but it had nothing to do with love.
He would still remember this voice even if it turned to ashes. It was the voice of the person who had led him to wash away the shame.
It was he who led him out of the city and killed dozens of enemies, and it was he who helped him avenge his previous humiliation.
Wei Feng's eyes were burning, he turned around and saw that it was Captain Lin.
"Captain Lin, you are here."
More than 20,000 enemies attacking the city is a big deal. This year, the number of northern barbarians invading Beiyue City was no more than a few thousand people. This is the largest scale attack this year.
Although Qin Chuan's men were more numerous than the Northern Barbarians, they were scattered. Wei Feng was very afraid that Beiyue City would be captured by the enemy. After all, there was a large gap in the city wall at the east gate, which was more than ten meters long.
Once the city is captured by the enemy, the northern barbarians are so cruel that they will certainly massacre the entire city.
Wei Feng was extremely nervous, like a dying fish, with his belly turned upside down and almost unable to breathe.
But now that Lin Qianqian is here, Wei Feng suddenly feels like he has a backbone. This feeling is really strange.
This little girl obviously looks much younger than him and is thin, but why does she make people feel at ease the moment they see her?
"General Wei, you don't need to go to the East Gate to help. After killing more than 200 northern barbarians, I knew they might retaliate and Beiyue City might be in danger, so I made preparations in advance and had people repair the collapsed wall at the East Gate."
Wei Feng couldn't believe that a city wall more than ten meters long was repaired in such a short time?
He had seen it with his own eyes a few days ago.
The collapsed city wall was so large, how could it be repaired in less than a day?
Moreover, it would not only require a huge amount of manpower, but also a large number of stones and baked bricks. It would be impossible to produce so many bricks in such a short time.
Captain Lin was like a worm in his stomach, knowing what he was thinking. "General Wei, don't doubt it. I had someone use ice to repair it."
It just so happened that Lin Qianqian hired a large number of ice sculptors to build her ice sculpture garden.
The ice sculpture masters were asked to simply use huge blocks of ice to repair the collapsed city wall, and then pour water on it.
In such cold weather, water turns into ice as soon as it falls.
After pouring water on the piled ice, the ice and water combine perfectly together to form a whole that is very solid.
Of course, it also has its drawbacks. When the weather warms up next spring, the city wall will turn into a pool of water.
But until then, it’s pretty solid and thick.
Wei Feng sighed: "It was repaired with ice? This is a good idea. Although it can only work for a few months, it can temporarily protect the safety of the people in the city, so that the invaders from Beizi will not be able to break in so easily."
I hope that we can save Beiyue City and prevent the lives of the people there from being destroyed.
Lin Qianqian said the purpose of meeting Wei Feng, "I have observed that the more than 20,000 Northern Barbarians are mainly concentrated at the North Gate. There are the fewest Northern Barbarians outside the South Gate, only more than a thousand. We can break through them one by one and kill the more than a thousand Northern Barbarians outside the South Gate first."
Wei Feng looked a little embarrassed, "But Marshal Qin hasn't given the order yet."
At such an urgent moment, Wei Feng was also anxious as he could not see the shadow of Marshal Qin.
But no matter how anxious you are, you can't do anything that will cost you your head.
Qin Chuan didn't know how to punish him for killing more than two hundred northern barbarians. If he disobeyed orders and went out of the city to kill the enemy privately, he would probably get into big trouble.
A person’s life or death is not important. The problem is that he still has a wife and children to protect.
"Captain Lin, Marshal Qin is the Grand Marshal of the Three Armies and holds the Tiger Tally Order. Without his permission, it will be difficult to persuade the soldiers stationed at the South Gate to leave the city and kill the enemy."
"I didn't say we should go out of the city to kill the enemy. We can lure the enemy in and kill the enemy who has entered the city. We don't need the marshal's order at all."
Wei Feng nodded. Captain Lin’s words made sense. The military orders were strict and they could not leave the city at will. But if the enemy broke into the city, they would not need the order of the Grand Marshal and could just pick up their swords and kill the enemy.
But the problem is that those enemies can't enter the city now.
"General Wei, I have already had people evacuate the civilians near the South Gate, and have had the ice sculpture masters build a bunker inside the South Gate with huge blocks of ice to stop the northern barbarians."
Wei Feng couldn't believe that Captain Lin acted so quickly!
He had just received the news that the northern barbarians were attacking, and Captain Lin had built a bunker inside the south city gate.
The speed is really amazing.
He is indeed a man who can do great things.
"Wei Feng, what we are most afraid of now is that our people are scattered. You have been in Beiyue City for more than three years. You should know which young generals are upright and really want to protect the people."
Lin Qianqian knew the simplest truth, that is, birds of a feather flock together. A young general who could get along well with Wei Feng must also be loyal and patriotic.
"Go contact them quickly and bring them all to the South Gate. We'll let the northern barbarians in, close the gate and beat the dogs, and get some military merit at the same time."
What a great idea to close the door and beat the dog, and gain military merit, Wei Feng's blood boiled.
"Okay, I'll go gather some people now."
Wei Feng mounted the big red horse and started galloping.
He found a table of people drinking in a familiar tavern.
All seven people at this table are generals.
It is because I am unhappy that I get drunk every day.
Why was he unhappy? Of course it was because the Northern Barbarians had shit on him, but Qin Chuan was still afraid of this and that, giving money and women, and wishing to worship the Northern Barbarians as his father.
They were all young and passionate heroes. A warrior could be killed but not humiliated, so they naturally felt extremely humiliated.
Every day I can only rely on alcohol to numb myself and stop thinking about those bad things.
The small restaurant was filled with the smell of strong liquor. It was dark and cramped, just like the bad mood of these young generals.
All seven of them were advocates of war, some for defending their country, and some for promotion and wealth.
It is said that fighting is the fastest way to get promoted.
But since they came to Beiyue City, they have had no chance to fight, defend their country, or get promoted or make money.
If there really is an opportunity to fight, not only will they not fear life or death, but they will also be grateful that they have finally waited for the opportunity.
The seven people were drinking and chatting, and the person they were talking about was Lin Qianqian.
"I really admire Captain Lin. She is just a little girl who dared to save dozens of innocent women and did what we wanted to do but didn't dare to do."
"Yes, we are ashamed of ourselves." Captain Li felt embarrassed when he said this, and he picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.
Wei Feng stepped forward and grabbed the wine jar on the table, "General Chen, Captain Li... stop drinking."
General Chen was drunk and said, "Why not? We are not on duty now, so we must drink while we can. When we are drunk, we will feel happy."
Captain Li also said, "That's right, I feel happy when I'm drunk. I'm living such a miserable life in Beiyue City, watching batch after batch of innocent girls being sent to the northern barbarians to be tortured."
Wei Feng said excitedly: "The battle is about to begin. The battle is about to begin. Let's go to the South Gate to kill the enemy."
General Chen: "Has Marshal Qin finally figured it out? He has finally stopped sending women and decided to go down to meet the enemy instead?"
"No, it's Captain Lin."
"What? Captain Lin? How can a captain as low as a captain have the right to start a war? I admire you, but I can't disobey orders and go out of the city to kill the enemy. If we disobey military orders, Qin Chuan will chop off our heads."
Wei Feng explained: "We are not going out of the city to kill the enemy, but to kill the enemy inside the city. If the enemy attacks the city, we can kill them at will without the order of the Grand Marshal. Captain Lin said she has a way to lead the enemy into the South City Gate. Let's close the gate and fight the dog."
The seven people sitting at the table all had bright eyes. "Really? Really? Don't lie to us."
"When have I ever lied to you? If I lie to you now, may the heavens strike me with lightning."
Wei Feng spoke sincerely: "We are all good brothers. I, Wei Feng, am the most upright. When have I ever lied to you? If we really have to fight, not only can we avenge our humiliation, but it is also a good opportunity to get promoted by taking heads. You probably haven't seen Captain Lin yet. If you see him, you will believe it. Captain Lin has built a tall bunker inside the South City Gate in a short time. When you see it, you will believe what I say."
Wei Feng himself couldn't understand why he trusted Captain Lin so much?
I had only seen it once, and before I even saw the bunker inside the South Gate, I already believed that it must exist.
The seven people were familiar with Wei Feng, a guy who never lied.
General Chen: "Wei Feng, now that you mention this, I really want to see what Captain Lin looks like. Does he have three heads and six arms? He actually dared to disobey Qin Wushuai's order and let those dozens of innocent girls go. He is really brave."
Captain Hu: "Yes, let's go see what the woman who makes men like me ashamed looks like! It's hard to say whether Beiyue City can be defended this time, but if I can see the famous Captain Lin before I die, I can die with peace of mind."
The seven people immediately stood up from the table, took their own weapons, and followed Wei Feng out of the door.
General Chen, in particular, felt a little tipsy, so he poured a bucket of cold water on himself and forced himself to sober up, then borrowed a set of tattered clothes from a store and put them on.
