Because of the advance of the Jingguo army, Li Zheng and Xia Ke had to put aside the establishment of an external intelligence system for the time being.It's not that intelligence isn't important.On the contrary, in Li Zheng's mind, intelligence is the most important thing when the two armies face off against each other.Only by obtaining sufficient information can we get closer to the truth, and then make accurate judgments and make correct responses.It's just that because of limited energy, we can only give up external information for the time being, but internal intelligence cannot be given up no matter what.In the past, Yun Fuzi formed a reconnaissance team to investigate the land of beasts.Now that the reconnaissance team has basically taken shape, Li Zheng brought Yun Fuzi to Fuzai City and asked him to roughly form a team to investigate the situation of Jingguo's army.Now that the team has not been formed, Yun Fuzi can only go into battle in person.As soon as he arrived in Fuzai City, he didn't have time to rest, so Yun Fuzi embarked on a journey to explore ahead.A day later, when Yun Fuzi returned, Li Zheng was on top of the high wall being built in Fuzai City, asking about the situation ahead."
The Jingguo army is still more than 70 kilometers away, according to their marching speed, it is expected to arrive at Fuzai City in ten days, the Jingguo army is expected to have more than 30,000 people, including twelve masters of the pre-heaven, but one of them flew towards our side, and soon the other two also flew towards this side, it is estimated that they are also here to investigate our situation."
Yun Fuzi is worthy of exploring his background, and in the past, he found out the situation of the Jingguo army clearly.Although they are all pre-heaven, Yun Fuzi specializes in the method of concealment, and even if it is pre-heaven, it is not easy to find, so he can sneak into the Jingguo camp and observe nearby.It's just that to probe the situation, do you need to send out three advance days?
One person is enough.Or is there some other purpose for sending out the three pre-heavens?"
The retreating border troops and people in front of them are slowly moving forward in the wilderness, although they have not taken the official road, but as long as the advance of respecting the country forks the road a little, and go around in the wilderness, they should find their existence, and I don't know if those people who respect the country will have any thoughts about them?
When I returned, I also checked the situation of the retreating border troops and civilians again, and at least so far, I have not found any massacre against them by the Jingguo people. ”There is no way to let the border army and those city people retreat.If you don't withdraw, you can't stop the Jingguo army at all, and you can only give your life in vain.Retreat, there is still a glimmer of life.The two armies are fighting, and the people will not be harmed, and if these people who respect the country still have a conscience, they should not be able to do anything against the unarmed people on the move.If they are really ruthless and take action against the retreating people, Li Zheng can only worship the dead souls, and find opportunities to make up for it in the people of Jingguo in the future.Li Zheng asked Master Yun to continue to keep an eye on the Jingguo army, especially the movements of the three who went out in advance, of course, it would be best if he could overhear their conversation and learn their plan of action.After Master Yun left, Li Zheng flew up and looked down on the entire Fuzai City and the surrounding terrain.Fuzai Castle seems to be a pass, and there seem to be some traces of the past in the city wall and the surrounding area, but with the passage of time, the previous layout has gradually been abandoned.Now, it's just a matter of renovating and perfecting these discarded arrangements.On both sides of Fuzai City, there are two small hills, sandwiching Fuzai City in the middle, but the mountains are not very big, and they have not been able to gather many powerful beasts like the four big mountains such as Ruyun Mountain, and there are only some small beasts that are not large-scale on the mountain."
These two mountains can be used as a barrier for Fuzai City, but now the mountains are still relatively flat, so it is difficult to make these two mountains messy."
Li Zheng pondered secretly.In front of Fuzai Castle, a small river flows slowly through it, surrounding the entire Fuzai Castle, which is a natural moat."
This small river, the channel can be widened a little, leaving only two small bridges to pass, which will become another barrier for the city of Fuzai.However, the river was still some distance from the city of Fuzai, and it was necessary to either make another trench between the river and the city walls, or to build some fortifications near the two small bridges, so that if the Jingguo people entered the area of the small bridges, they could attack them. ”Li Zheng descended from the sky and landed on the city wall that was being repaired.The original walls of Fuzai Castle were only three zhang high, which is already very high compared to ordinary castles.Most of the castles are about two zhang high.Now that a pass is to be built here, this height is not enough.Not to mention the advance heaven of respecting the country, for the advance heaven that can fly into the sky, even if the city wall is built to a height of more than ten zhang, it will not become an obstacle.This wall was mainly aimed at ordinary warriors in the army of Jingguo.For ordinary warriors, a city wall two or three zhang high can be climbed up in a few clicks.However, if the wall was to be built to a height of seven or eight feet, it would take some effort for them to climb it.And while they climb, the defenders above can take the opportunity to attack and destroy them in the process of climbing.Li Zheng was preparing to increase the wall of Fuzai City to eight zhang.The eight-zhang high city wall, even a great grandmaster-level martial artist, it takes a few seconds to climb it.On one side of the city wall, a high shelf was erected, and the laborers recruited from the city were standing on the shelves.However, these migrant workers also do some small work.It is definitely a big project to increase the height of the city wall to eight zhang, and if it is done by the masons in the city, it is estimated that it will not be completed in a few months.The Jingguo army will arrive in ten days, but it can't wait that long.At this point, it's time for everyone to play their part.There are people who are friendly with earth and stone, who bring sand, lime, and stone from the wilderness, and those who are friendly with water, who bring water from small rivers, and then add cohesive materials such as burnt lime and yellow clay into the earth and stones, and finally form materials that can be used to build city walls.Locals call this stuff concrete, because it's mixed with a variety of materials, and when it dries, it solidifies together and is very strong.Every time a section of the city wall is repaired, the people who are friendly with the earth and stone will first tamp the soil and stone, and then the disciples of the Huofeng Gate will attract fire and wind to dry the damp soil and stone.Liu Dahai and several other elders, as well as Lu Jin and other four sect masters, also stayed on the city wall, responsible for allocating resources, coordinating manpower, and when necessary, they also had to do it themselves.In the corner of the city wall, an old man pushed forward with both hands, and at his feet, a flame was burning, and above the flame, gusts of wind appeared out of thin air, like bellows, blowing on the flame, making the flame stronger.The old man was drying a piece of the city wall that had just been repaired."
Master Lumen, did you do it yourself?"
Li Zheng stepped forward and said hello.Lu Jin smiled, and his hands kept moving: "What is not in person, and he is not a big person!"
”"It's going well, right?
How high can you build in a day?
”Li Zheng asked again."
You can probably repair one zhang a day, Immortal Master Li, don't worry, we will not miss work in the seven-day period you set, if you miss the hour, the old man is willing to be punished!"
Lord Lu Men laughed.With the help of you old people, Master Lumen, you don't have to worry at all. ”To be honest, when Lu Zhen said that he would hand over the heavy task of building the pass and blocking the Jingguo army to Li Zheng, Li Zheng was still a little worried.Although he entered the pre-heaven, he was only twenty-three years old after all.He didn't know if these old men would listen to him.Now it seems that he is thinking too much.These old men are very hard-working, and they are also very dedicated to the tasks he assigns.According to this progress, it can be completed in five days to defend Nanguan, and the remaining two days can be checked and filled, and the remaining three days can be used to arrange new equipment developed by the fake vein, and maybe there will be time to practice.
