I really didn't expect that the news would spread so quickly and be known to all the monsters and people in the city, but how could such a big news be easily concealed? What is coming will always come.
This news is not just bad, it will also affect the morale of the military. Diao Si pondered for a moment, then arranged for those who would lead the way to attack Ruifeng City, assuming they were the imperial army attacking the city, and then led the silver warrior away.
Walking to the streets of Ruifeng City, Diao Si realized the great changes that had taken place here. Many monsters and humans were lining up to leave the city with their luggage and their families, waiting to leave the city. Just the amount of food they took away was a lot, which was equivalent to sending food to the imperial army.
No, it absolutely couldn't be like this. Diao Si asked the Silver Light Warrior to prepare something for him that could amplify the sound, and then asked him to lead an army outside the city and bring back all the monsters and people who left the city.
The problem is not that simple. There are many monster villages outside the city with a certain amount of food reserves. Diao Si ignored it. His strategy was to give up all the land and directly defend the city. Then he did not want the creatures and food on those lands. , nor can it be left to the Imperial Army.
"Wait a moment and you send me an order to your superior in the lobby. Tell her to immediately send troops to the villages along the Imperial Army's route and bring all creatures and food back to the city.
She was also asked to spread the news that the imperial army passed through the border villages and carried out bloody massacres on the creatures there, letting them know that they would die if they did not return to the city. "
Diao Si knew that this was not easy, and if not done well, it would lead to contradictions and even conflicts between the army and the people, but he had to do it. These ordinary monsters and people played a very crucial role in this battle. No matter how cruel they were, he would Can't lose them.
At this time, a monster with a hammer came to see Diao Si. It turned out to be a famous blacksmith in Ruifeng City. It gave Diao Si a loudspeaker like a trumpet and asked him what else he needed. Diao Si continued to ask him to build a handmade telescope with convex lenses on both sides.
The guy seemed experienced, and he quickly understood what Diao Si meant and left. In this way, Diao Si climbed to the high tower of the city gate with the different speaker and spoke loudly to the various creatures lining up.
The sound was quite loud, and they must all be able to hear it, but they couldn't listen to the nonsense about having a country and a family. Diao Si had to change his strategy, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke loudly again.
"Everyone, everyone knows that there is going to be a war here, and we will definitely not be able to defeat the tens of thousands of troops from the Guangnan Empire, right?" Diao Si said this and some creatures began to raise their heads. They were all lining up anyway, thinking There was no way to go, Diao Si had already closed the city gate temporarily.
"Okay, then let me tell you how to avoid those imperial troops. The bridge in the direction of the Big Hand Monkey Village has been destroyed, so we can't go that way..."
Diao Si kept talking, and the creatures became more and more interested as they listened, because they were all concerned about what way to go. But listening to what Diao Si said, there was no way for them to go after leaving the city. It was a dead end.
"Since there is no way out, we can surrender directly to the Imperial Army. After they capture Ruifeng City, this place will become a part of the Guangnan Empire." A monster with a loud voice said this, and the monsters next to him and Human beings started talking about it.
Those humans still had some sense of shame and argued that the big monster could not surrender, but most of the monsters still thought it was insignificant. Diao Si can naturally understand, but he must not let them have such hope.
"Okay, let me tell you the news. In one of our border villages that the Imperial Army has just passed by, there are our very friendly elves of the Mer Tribe living there. They all surrendered to the Imperial Army just as you planned. . But the imperial army did not take them in, they have been exterminated... "
Hearing what Diao Si said, the monsters all fell silent. He took this opportunity and continued to say to them: "We have lived in the land of Ruifeng City for generations, and nothing like this has ever happened. The massacre, but the stupid Imperial Army..."
These are all false. The Imperial Army has not entered the country yet, but Diao Si must make it true, and even deceive himself. The purpose is to make these creatures have no other hope and stay together. Fight the enemy.
"... Compatriots, let me tell you a true story. There is a city called Nanjing over there. Because of disunity, it was massacred. It is probably the same number of lives you have now."
"But the Imperial Army heard that a hundred thousand troops have arrived. Our Ruifeng City only has a total of fifty thousand troops. Now that the old city lord is gone and the new city lord has not yet taken over, how can we fight them..." There was another middle-aged woman below. yelled.
After hearing this, Diao Si immediately responded to her: "No, you misunderstood. The imperial army only came with 70,000 people, but we are far more than 50,000 people. All the people in Ruifeng City are soldiers, with a total of 200,000 to 300,000 people. New City The Lord is deploying allied forces and asking other empires for help. The Guangnan Empire may be about to withdraw. "
In fact, it is impossible to ask other empires for help. Not to mention the long distance, they will not take action even if they are nearby, so they might as well reap the benefits. But Diao Si could only continue to make it up. He had no way to turn back, which directly affected the outcome of the entire battle.
"Yes, I am also a soldier of Ruifeng City, and I will fight for honor!" Some men began to shout there, and Diao Si became excited, and shouted loudly with them:
"Ruifeng City will not bow to the Guangnan Empire. We will protect Ruifeng City to the death..."
"The Diaoyu Islands belong to China, and AV belongs to Japan..."
Unexpectedly, he couldn't hold it back for a while and spit out the previous slogan again, but those idiots below actually shouted together. How did they know what it meant? But seeing that they were determined to stay and defend Ruifeng City together, Diao Si was naturally happy.
Don't underestimate these civilians. They are often the key to the battlefield. Strong forces are made up of tiny bits of weak forces. Of course, this requires cunning ideas and methods to unite them.
However, when Diao Si was about to get down from the arrow tower above the city gate, he suddenly discovered a team that had just assembled outside the city and was marching in the direction of the imperial army. What is this all about? He didn't give any orders, so why did those people want to act privately
After asking around, I found out that he was a soldier in the informal military establishment like Ying Mei. After hearing that the imperial army massacred a village, he wanted to take his own troops to avenge them. Many of them were members of the Mei'er tribe.
This is not possible. How come there are such troops who do not need to obey the orders of the city lord? Diao Si immediately ordered people to intercept them. But now he didn't have much time to spend here. After simply ordering all the troops not to leave, he hurried back to the lobby.
Because Diao Si doesn't know many people here yet, if he wants to implement any decree, he still has to go through the purple light warriors first. And he had to continue to analyze the Imperial Army's situation with them in order to arrange the entire battlefield.
In the lobby, the purple light warriors were still arguing. After seeing Diao Si, two of the generals were eager to tell him what they thought of. I was very happy to see them arguing like this. I first praised them for their efforts, and then started to analyze the issues they were arguing about.
According to their analysis, if the imperial army came to attack the city, they would deploy throwing machines in front or on the sides of Ruifeng City. They would first use the throwing machines to open the gates or city walls of Ruifeng City, and then give orders. Attack in a big way.
So Diao Si spent some time to determine with them the location where the Imperial Army might place the throwing machine, and then asked the Purple Light Warriors he had just thought of to lead the team there to destroy those lands, so that the Imperial Army had to put some places for them. Prepare for the intended location.
Then they had people bring a team of rat monsters there to hollow out the ground first. When they installed those large throwing machines there, they would collapse when they were thrown. Even if they couldn't break the machines, they would still have to drag them. The war machine will not be available for a while.
The question is, will the Imperial Army really easily fall into Diao Si's trap? What if they didn't put the throwing machine there? (To be continued)
