Chapter 131: Jackdaw Town prepares to resist the siege

Jackdaw Town.

With the help of Li Taihang, the officers and soldiers and civilians in the town obtained a lot of construction materials and began to repair the fortifications of the entire Jackdaw Town.

Lord Zhao and the master were imprisoned.

At this time, the captain of the guard, Guo Kaien, was a little worried. Although he knew that the entire Jackdaw Town was saved and the plague was gone, they learned a shocking secret.

That is, the city lord wanted to create a plague and chaos, and he also took Jackdaw Town for experiments. If this inhumane behavior was exposed, he would definitely die.

"Hey, it seems that I can only cooperate with them this time."

Originally, he was thinking about rescuing Lord Zhao and the master and escaping from Jackdaw Town together.

But thinking of the consequences of their plague being exposed, they felt that they could not bear it.

What's more, Lord Zhao and the master have already lost control. It doesn't matter whether to save them or not. What's important is how to face the encirclement and suppression of the city lord.

Guo Kaien brought a few guards to the county magistrate.

"Mr. County Magistrate."

Just when he wanted to greet the county magistrate, a constable ran over quickly.

The county magistrate was organizing and supervising everyone's work. When he heard the sound, he immediately stopped and looked at the constable who ran over.

"Captain He, what's wrong?"

"The army is coming, it's the Tiefeng Army." Captain He said in a panic.

"What, Tiefeng Army?"

Hearing the Tiefeng Army, the county magistrate took a few steps back and almost fell down. Fortunately, he was supported by Master Li next to him.

"Mr. County Magistrate, are you okay?"

"Nothing."

The county magistrate took a deep breath.

He never expected that it would be the Tiefeng Army. If they came, with their current strength, they would not be able to resist the Tiefeng Army's front.

After all, the Tiefeng Army is the most elite army in Pingyuan City.

"How many people are they?"

"Thirty thousand!"

"What?" The county magistrate was shocked again. If they came with a few thousand people, the county magistrate would feel under great pressure.

Now, 30,000 people came directly, nearly ten times more.

How could they bear it.

"30,000 Tiefeng troops?"

The captain of the guard, Guo Kaien, also took a breath.

He understood that this meant they were doomed.

"The Tiefeng Army is the most trusted army of the city lord, and it is also the most powerful army. Such a powerful army is actually used to deal with us. Isn't it too much of a compliment to us?"

Suddenly, they were all a little panicked.

Not to mention the county magistrate and the guards, even the officers and soldiers, after hearing the news, all stopped their work at the same time.

They knew very well that once the Tiefeng Army attacked, they would definitely die.

"In fact, we don't have to worry too much. Our terrain is favorable. If they want to attack, they can't send so many people to attack at once. So, as long as we guard the position of the mountain pass, it will be difficult for them to come up."

Master Li quickly comforted everyone.

When everyone heard it, they immediately felt that it made sense.

"Yes, Master Li is right. Let's quickly guard the position of the mountain pass."

"Please rest assured, County Magistrate. We have already placed a large number of rolling stones and the like at the mountain pass."

"Here, there are many stones and wood. It's not easy for them to attack."

Master Li stroked his beard and smiled.

The County Magistrate slapped his forehead and said, "Hey, look at me, I'm really scared by the Tiefeng Army."

Captain He asked, "County Magistrate, what should we do now?"

"Needless to say, quickly take people to guard the mountain pass."

"Okay."

Captain He quickly led a group of constables to the mountain pass.

At the same time, he looked at Guo Kaien and said, "Please notify those officers and soldiers to help guard it."

"Well, I know."

Guo Kaien left with his guards.

Master Li frowned.

"What's wrong?" asked the County Magistrate.

"I'm worried that Guo Kaien and the officers and soldiers will unite with them. If they cooperate with each other, we will be finished."

"Don't worry, they have learned the secret of the plague. With the character of the city lord, they can only cooperate with us until the city lord dies or is dealt with."

"Otherwise, the city lord would not send 30,000 iron front troops. This has already made the city lord's attitude clear."

"Alas." Master Li sighed lightly.

They are also drunk with such a city lord. However, for them, it is not a bad thing.

"Okay, let's talk to the people and appease them."

"Okay."

The county magistrate and Master Li took some constables to appease the people.

And Li Taihang and Ye Lan'er observed everything they did in the dark.

"Brother, is this the so-called God's perspective?"

"Yes, watching them do things, and then, at the appropriate time, helping them, don't you think it's interesting?"

"Well... it seems so." Ye Lan'er suddenly got a little excited and said, "In this way, with our secret help, they will definitely win."

"Hehe, that depends on their strategy."

"What?"

"If they hold on to it, it may not be beneficial to them. Because they don't know how long they have to hold on. If they spread the news here and let everyone know about this, then the Tiefeng Army will be under pressure and retreat quickly."

"Moreover, at this time, for the Tiefeng Army, no, it should be said, for the city lord of Pingyuan City, his own safety is the most important thing."

"When he knew the news was leaked, he had to bring the Tie Feng Army back to protect himself instead of continuing to foolishly put the Tie Feng Army here."

Ye Laner pursed her lips and said, "It seems to be true."

"Master, will the captain of the Guards and those officers and soldiers really cooperate?"

"This depends on the situation. However, judging from their performance, they are very jealous of their city lord. Otherwise, they would not agree to me and escape to Jackdaw Town to unite with the people here to fight against The city lord’s army.”

Ye Laner said in surprise: "I didn't expect you, Master, to know so many things."

Li Taixing stretched out his hand, stroked her scalp, and said, "There are still many things you don't know."

"Humph." Ye Lan'er rolled her eyes at him and said, "But I don't know if they will do what the master imagined."

"You'll know just by looking at it."

"Too."

So, the two of them found a relatively high and secluded place and looked in the direction of the mountain pass.

This place is several hundred meters away from the mountain pass. Ordinary mortals cannot see them at all, but they can clearly see the situation at the mountain pass.

At this time, there were not only police officers at the mountain pass, but also civilians, officers and soldiers, and personal guards.

The county magistrate, Master Li, Guo Kai'en, and Deputy Chief of Officers and Soldiers Liu Tiancheng began to discuss.

"Let's do this. Our officers and soldiers and guards will guard the mountain pass. You agents will be responsible for guarding the gate. In addition, the common people will be responsible for supporting supplies and preparing logistics." Liu Tiancheng thought for a while and said.

After all, the fighting ability between the police and the common people is not high.

The Guards have the highest combat effectiveness, but they only number about twenty people.

And they have the largest number of officers and soldiers, with seven to eight hundred people.

"Okay, no problem." Guo Kaien nodded and said.

Naturally, the county magistrate and Master Li had no problems. The county magistrate asked Master Li to help with suggestions, and he arranged for the people to prepare support.

The three parties quickly assigned tasks.

"Looking at their arrangements, there is no problem." Ye Laner said.

"Well, it depends on the actual combat situation."

They put their strongest combat power in a defensive position, so that they would not be easily broken through by the opponent.

The arrangements at the rear are considered safe.

At this time, it depends on how the Tie Feng Army will move. Just as he was talking, the Tie Feng Army's spies also came to the mountain pass.

When they saw the defense at the mountain pass, they immediately frowned.

"Captain, look, those are officers, soldiers, and personal guards. How are they guarding the mountain pass?"

The spy captain combined the information he knew and analyzed: "It is estimated that the purpose of our visit this time has been known to them."

"Then this is going to be troublesome. They know we are coming and have deployed defenses here in advance. It will not be so easy for us to attack."

"That's not necessarily true. Although it is easy to defend and difficult to attack here, we are regular troops after all and have fought countless vicious battles. The people on the opposite side are just some officers and soldiers, police officers, and ordinary people."

"In terms of combat effectiveness, only the Guards can compete with us, but for the rest, on the frontal battlefield, we can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind."

The spy captain's tone was very confident.

When the other spies heard this, they also thought it made sense.

"Okay, let's quickly report the situation to the general."

"Um."

This group of spies left quickly and returned to the Iron Front Army.

At this time, Zhao Chong had realized that the road up the mountain was difficult, so he did not plan to send the entire army forward.

"General Zhuo, you lead three thousand people as the vanguard and go up to explore the road first. In addition, if the mountain road is difficult to walk, you must be more careful."

"Yes, general." Zhuo Zilin responded and immediately led three thousand people and began to march.

Zhao Chong ordered the entire army to start cutting down the surrounding trees to clear a clearing, and then allow the army to temporarily station here.

When Luo Duozi saw it, he said, "General Zhao, are we waiting here now?"

"The higher Tulong Ridge goes, the harder it becomes. If they want to deal with us, they will definitely ambush us. Even if they don't dare to ambush us, they will set up obstacles in front."

"So, instead of going up there and getting into trouble, we might as well build our own camp first."

"Besides, I have sent General Zhuo to explore the road. It won't take long for us to understand the situation above."

"Okay." Luo Duozi thought for a while and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more.
