Chapter 1146: : Before Siege

The first night I spent in River City was very calm. The subject was monitored without any abnormal behavior. The ghosts and snakes seemed to be dormant, and there were no moths.
　　 But this made Chen Fang more vigilant.
　　 The so-called tranquility before the storm is the same.
　　 early morning.
　　 There are busy soldiers on the wall, under the leadership of officers at all levels, making the final preparations before the war.
　　 Chen Fang stood at the head of the city and looked far away. He looked a little worried when he heard people walking by his side.
　　 "The Griffin sent out to investigate is back."
　　 "The Lake City army has been stationed five kilometers away, with a strength of at least 80,000, which is much more than the information obtained before. Among them, the long-range army is equipped with core rifles, and the number has reached 30,000..."
　　 "And three core energy cannons were discovered."
　　 "……"
　　 30,000 core rifles, three core energy cannons.
　　 This Lake City is rich in wealth.
　　 "How many ranged soldiers did we bring this time?"
　　 "Two thousand."
　　 "This gap is too big."
　　 "I had brought all the Griffin troops over if I knew it a long time ago, and mastering the air supremacy and washing the floor can at least make the long-range troops not so easy to function."
　　 "This battle is not easy to fight."
　　 Chen Fang rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
　　 There is a huge gap in the strength of the two sides. Melee units can also use city walls to contain them. Long-range troops will be in trouble. If the gap is too large, they will be suppressed by fire.
　　 It seems that I have to take a walk.
　　 Chen Fang asked: "How many cavalry brought?"
　　 Wenren said depressedly: "Why don't you know anything? I obviously sent you a report on the number of troops before I set off in Nirvana. I didn't read it."
　　Chen Fangsan talked, he really didn't watch it, it was too late to accompany his wife, who would look at that stuff.
　　 "A thousand cavalry." Wenren said helplessly.
　　 Chen Fang's eyes lit up. Although not many, it is not a lot, so he can use it flexibly.
　　 "In this way, you will give the command of defending the city this time. I will take the cavalry out of the city and lie in ambush first, find an opportunity to take off the core energy cannon, and create trouble for the long-range troops in Lake City so that they can't stabilize the output."
　　 Hearing that Chen Fang was going to give himself the task of defending the city, he was shocked and said anxiously: "But I...I don't have the confidence to guard it. Come on, I will take the cavalry to ambush and attack."
　　 Chen Fang patted people's shoulders and encouraged him: "I haven't started yet, why don't you think you can't keep it well? You must have confidence in yourself. I'm optimistic about you."
　　 Wenren said dumbfoundedly: "It's useless if you take good care of me, I really don't know how to guard it."
　　 "Just hit it and you'll know it, it's okay."
　　 "……"
　　 Regarding such an important matter of defending the city, entrusting him with inexperience, Chen Fang's casual attitude that he did not care about made Wenren not know what to say.
　　 Chen Fang didn't care what people heard, and then said: "By the way, when defending the city, remember to pay attention to the situation in the next city. If Li Ao and Laurent want to act, they must be involved in the attack."
　　 Wenren people have a headache.
　　 Defending the city won't be able to win, she has to pay attention to the situation in the city. She is under a lot of pressure.
　　 "Can't you imprison them now, or let the soldiers guard them? I'm afraid that I will be unable to do so by then." Wenren suggested.
Chen Fang thought for a while and said, "We don't know what their purpose is. We don't know if they have any accomplices. If they act rashly, they will leave hidden dangers. But don't worry, I have made arrangements. , You will die if you dare to risk your head, I will let you pay attention, just in case."
　　 Hearing that Chen Fang had made arrangements, he was immediately relieved, but he was still anxious.
　　 Chen Fang looked at her like this, so he told her about the things to be aware of when defending the city, as well as some tactics to enhance her confidence.
　　 Originally, Chen Fang didn't intend to do this. He wanted Wen Ren to understand these truths in the flames of war, but seeing that she was about to collapse, he could only say it out.
　　 During the conversation between the two, a griffin flew over, and the knight above brought news about the movements of the Lake City army.
　　 "Report the commander, after the enemy is stationed, a 5,000-strong force has been sent to our side."
　　I heard people look at Chen Fang and said, "Are they ready to start siege?"
　　 Chen Fang squeezed his chin and said: "It should be a tentative attack, aimed at figuring out the reality of our defensive strength. I think the real attack will be tomorrow."
　　The Lake City army first arrived. The soldiers were too tired and they had set up the camp. They must be rested, and the siege would be launched only when they were full of energy. Now the troops are sent out to test the reality.
　　 "It just so happens that I can take people to eat this troop so that they can't figure out our situation."
　　 "Wenren, I will not come back for the time being when I go out this time, Hecheng will be guarded by you."
　　 "But remember, don't hold fast. If you see the situation is not good, you will abandon the river city and lead your troops to evacuate." Chen Fang exhorted.
　　 River City can observe the rules, but cannot abandon the rules. This is the keynote that has been set long ago.
　　 Wenren who was driven off the shelf by the duck can only nod his head.
　　 After Chen Fang asked a few more words, he took a thousand cavalry out of the city.
　　 Wenren stood on the wall, watching the leaving figure of the cavalry unit, and whispered: "Be careful, I hope you come back safely."
　　……
　　 From Lake City, the troops sent out were advancing vigorously on the road.
　　The leading commander is constantly complaining to the adjutant around him.
　　 "It's really hard. I rushed for three days on the road, and when I got to the place, I didn't have a rest, so I was sent out.
　　 "I really don't understand, it's just a small city, and its strength is not 10,000. If there is anything to test, it will be over directly. I don't know why Commander Hailie is so cautious.
　　 The adjutant heard his boss complain, but he dared not speak up.
The boss has his own family platform behind him. You can complain about Commander Hailie. Don’t be afraid of being retaliated by Commander Hailie, but he is different. If he says something that shouldn’t be said, it will be passed to the head of Hailie. , Dismissal and disability are all considered minor, and the severe ones were directly pulled and chopped off.
　　 So the adjutant changed the subject and said: "My lord, let's go to test Hecheng this time~EbookFREE.me~ How do we arrange it?"
　　 The commander said feebly, "Rush up and it's over."
"what."
　　 "Will this be wrong, it will kill a lot of people."
　　 The commander said nonchalantly: "You die, you die, anyway, all you bring is cannon fodder."
　　 The cannon fodder in the commander's mouth is all people who have a hard life. In Lake City, he was deprived of his freedom and property because he couldn't pay taxes, and he was forced to be charged into the army. Now he has to put his life on the battlefield.
　　 The adjutant looked at the poorly equipped soldiers with pity, and mourned for them in his heart.
　　 At this moment, a soldier ran over.
　　 "My lord, there is a group of enemy cavalry in front of me. The number is about one hundred."
　　 The commander was refreshed.
　　 "Dare to come out to die."
　　 "Just give me a wave of merit."
　　 "Order the troops to speed up, let's catch this force looking for death." The commander ordered.
　　 The soldier took the order and left to give orders.
　　 After a while, the soldiers of the army began to accelerate and walked forward for one kilometer. They saw a group of cavalry from a distance, lined up, standing on a hill, watching them.
　　 "Hey, I'm brave enough to see that we haven't run yet."
　　 "Kill me."
　　 The commander drew out his waist weapon and issued an attack.
