Chapter 968 Ten Days Before the Battle

Just when everyone was discussing about preparing to hold activities during the Winter Festival, the messenger from the river city came suddenly.

"You have one day to let go of our people, and at the same time hand over the murderer at that time, as well as those Jiangcheng people. If you dare to refuse or delay, be careful that this small broken city of yours will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

The Hecheng envoy who came was very arrogant, high-spirited, and domineering. When he spoke, his attitude was like treating himself as a father and Xincheng as his son, as if he wanted to teach him a lesson.

Chen Fang was also present at the meeting, without further ado, he picked up the Hecheng envoy, broke his arms and legs, and hung him on a big tree outside the city.

They also sent dryad warriors to guard them. After three days, when the other party was dying, the attendants accompanying the other party were rescued.

Even though he was weak and dying, the messenger uttered harsh words before being escorted away by his attendants.

"You guys...wait for me, Hecheng's 100,000... army will come over again with me, and crush your...broken city."

"I... will make you...all the men die, and all the women will be sent to the military camp..."

What was the woman doing? Before the envoy could say anything, Chen Fang slapped all his teeth out. He choked on the words and fainted, and was hurriedly carried away by the accompanying attendants.

Later, the envoy was seriously injured, and because his opponents were not good at ordinary times, he was not well taken care of on the way, and died on the way without returning to his life.

After such an incident, the idea of ​​holding activities during the winter festival was lost.

Xincheng turned into a state of combat readiness, sent out a large number of scouts and spies, and began to pay attention to the opponent's actions and collect relevant information.

In order to deal with the coming Hecheng army, after the spies sent back the information, the high-level officials of Xincheng gathered in the meeting hall to discuss the matter.

The topic of this meeting was how to deal with the next army in River City.

In addition to Gong Xiaobai's subordinates, there were more well-known elder brothers and fourth brothers than before, as well as the Gong Bei Monument.

Since the development of the new city, two more departments have been added due to functional needs. They are the head of the general construction department for planning and construction of the new city, and the person in charge of the development department for developing the small world.

The former is in charge of Jimo Yi and his three twin brothers, and the latter is in charge of Jimo Youqian and his three younger brothers.

The reason why Gong Beibei attended the meeting was because he was very capable of handling government affairs, and he had a little relationship with Gong Xiaobai, and now he was working as an assistant secretary with Xiaobai, so he was able to attend this meeting.

At the meeting, some people first raised doubts about why Hecheng came to attack for no reason.

Chen Fang stood up and said that he was the one who caused the trouble, and at the same time Gong Beibei also stood up responsibly and said that it was him who caused the trouble.

Originally, a group of Gong Xiaobai's subordinates were ready to attack the person who caused this troublesome thing for no reason.

But when he saw Chen Fang standing up, he didn't dare to say anything.

In this new city, there is one person that people dare not provoke, two that cannot be provoked, two that cannot be provoked are Wu Yaoyan and Wu Yumei, and the one that is not dared to provoke is Chen Fang.

There is no way, everyone can see the record that Chen Fang has played many times.

Although Chen Fang still doesn't hold any position in the army, everyone knows that as long as he speaks up, even the biggest leader in the army, Dusi, will follow the lead. I gave up my position.

And because of the addition of Jiangcheng soldiers, the number of troops now reached 20,000.

We must know that the current population composition of Xincheng is only a little over 10,000 ordinary urban residents.

With 20,000 soldiers behind him, and Gong Xiaobai's attitude towards his own father, it is conceivable how powerful Chen Fang's voice is. It is not shy to say that Chen Fang's words are better than Gong Xiaobai's. .

If Chen Fang was more ambitious and thoughtful enough to do something, although he couldn't replace Gong Xiaobai, it would not be difficult to become an existence like the regent.

Far away.

As soon as Chen Fang stood up, everyone was silent, and no one dared to say that he was provoking right and wrong, so the meeting got to the point.

According to the information, after Hecheng occupied Jiangcheng, he began to recruit troops from the two cities under his control to supplement and expand the army. The total number of soldiers reached 500,000, of which 350,000 were recruits, all of whom were ordinary people.

And the reason why he came down this time was because Chen Fang had rescued a group of people from Gongbeibei before, and killed and captured five hundred of the hunting troops they sent out, which were all composed of awakened ones.

Because it was the autumn harvest season at that time, and it was also when Jiangcheng had just been occupied. Hecheng couldn't take action for the time being, so they put it aside in advance, and waited until the matter at hand was almost resolved, and then came to settle accounts after autumn.

It's almost winter now, the autumn harvest is over, and the occupied Jiangcheng is almost stable, so Hecheng puts on the table the things that were put on hold before, and the old things are brought up again to settle accounts after autumn.

At the same time, according to the intelligence obtained by the spies, this time, Hecheng sent a hundred thousand troops, as the Hecheng envoy who died on the way back said last time, and was led by the second leader of Hecheng, known as the butcher of the battlefield. commanded by Heles, ready to flatten the new city.

The information also included the general composition of Hecheng's army.

60,000 new recruits have been trained for less than a month, all infantry.

40,000 veterans who participated in the war against Jiangcheng, 5,000 of them were awakened soldiers.

Faced with such information, everyone present subconsciously turned their attention to Chen Fang, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Under the attention of everyone, Chen Fang felt very helpless but also felt pressured.

He was helpless that it seemed that others now regarded him as an expert in military affairs. At the same time, he was also helpless that this matter was caused by him and had to take over.

And the pressure comes from the enemy's 100,000 troops.

Although on the surface, an enemy of this magnitude is not as powerful as the tens of thousands of totem beastmen that he had to face on the Fengrao Plain in the early days, but don't forget that at that time, the new city had not been built, and Chen Fang used guerrilla attacks to eat away at them. Tactics wear down the opponent.

But this time the situation is different. The new city has already been built, and a city can't grow feet to run. Even if Chen Fang resorts to guerrilla warfare, it's useless. If he runs away, the monk can't run away from the temple. As long as they pull the army under the new city, they can force Chen Fang to fight. Abandon guerrilla tactics.

So there is only one way at present, and that is to defend the city and fight.

Of course, before the defensive battle, you can also think of some ideas, first actively weaken the strength of the enemy army.

Chen Fang pondered for a long time, recalling some battles in the history of the flower planters, and then made some confusing arrangements in the anticipation of the high-level executives of the new town who had been waiting for a long time.

After the meeting, everyone filed out of the meeting room, and many of them who received the mission asked their companions around them from time to time, secretly asking why Chen Fang did this.

Of course, no one can answer.

For example, two of the tasks, building a cauldron and collecting excrement from the whole city, are very confusing.

Could it be that they want to cook shit to disgust the enemy soldiers from afar?

Everyone guessed.

Not to mention, their guesses are really close.

Chen Fang is indeed preparing to cook shit to reward the enemy army, after all, this is the tradition of the Huahua family's ancient city defense.

So amidst everyone's doubts, Xincheng actively prepared for battle.

Counting the time, ten days later will be the start of the war.
