Chapter 40 The Black Wind Stronghold Attacks

The detailed planning of Chang'an City has been implemented, and the follow-up only needs to be completed according to the plan.

Of course, the amount of work is also very large.

"This big raid is expected to add 1 people to the territory. Excluding the 3000 to [-] people occupied by the City Guards Brigade, what are you going to do with the rest?" Tang Jing asked Mr. Wu.

"I thought so."

Mr. Wu was not afraid, and said with a smile: "After the big sweep, the nearly [-] square kilometers of land south of the Merlot River and east of the Huishui River have all been included in the governance scope of the territory."

From the construction of the city wall outside Chang'an City, we can see that "Star World" has its own set of intelligent algorithms.

There is no objection to the territorial area exceeding the boundaries.

"This is already equivalent to the size of a medium-sized county. If we only build Chang'an City, or build two or three subsidiary villages on the outskirts of the city, it would be a waste of land."

"The soil in the delta is fertile and the water resources are abundant. It would be a waste not to develop farming."

"My suggestion is that it is absolutely possible to plan and build dozens or even hundreds of affiliated villages on the outskirts of Chang'an City and within the entire county."

"Let farmers cultivate their own land, grow food crops, and live and work in peace and contentment."

With the level of science and technology in ancient times, the village level can completely implement village self-government. It only needs to help build houses, distribute farm tools, rations and seeds, and basically ignore the rest.

When the grain is ripe, send a tax collector to the village to collect the grain.

The management cost is actually very low.

"can."

Tang Jing agreed to Mr. Wu's suggestion.

Calculating the time, it is already mid-February. When the village is built and the land is reclaimed, it will be delayed until the end of March, just in time for spring planting.

If you miss this round of spring sowing, you will have to wait at least half a year.

Chang'an City wants to truly "long-term peace and stability". In terms of food, it is impossible to rely 100% on external procurement. Who knows when the market will be cancelled?
It is obviously the most secure for the territory to maintain a certain scale of cultivated land by itself.

We must keep the red line of cultivated land.

"In addition to the large-scale construction of affiliated villages, the remaining strong labor force is mainly inclined to the construction team."

Mr. Wu continued to report.

"Brick kilns, tile kilns, and lime kilns have been put into operation one after another. Limestone mines have also been successfully discovered in the outskirts of the city. The construction of the outer city can enter the fast lane. The construction team urgently needs to increase manpower."

"Yes."

Tang Jing nodded, "With the sycamore tree, you can attract the golden phoenix."

Chang'an City wants to attract a large number of players to settle in. It is not enough to just build an outer city wall, and the internal construction must also keep up. In the end, it is necessary to build a prosperous city with complete facilities.

On one side is the bustling metropolis, and on the other is a dilapidated small town.

Which one to choose?
With comparison, you don't have to worry about talent not coming.

From Mr. Wu's report, Tang Jing also noticed that the current industry in Chang'an City is still very weak, and cannot support more people to work and live in the city.

That's why it is necessary to divert the flow to the affiliated villages and construction teams.

In order to maintain the subsequent population growth and find new industries to land, it has become a top priority.

But it's not easy.

Taking the textile industry as an example, the source of all development depends on weaving. Silk needs the development of supporting sericulture, cotton needs cotton, and linen needs to grow jute and other crops.

Without supporting agriculture, the textile industry is a castle in the air.

Even if the lords enter the village stage, they will give priority to planting food crops, first solve the problem of hunger, and then consider planting cotton, jute and other economic crops.

Even if Changan wants to make large-scale purchases in the market, it will not work.

The same is true for non-staple food processing industries such as vinegar, sugar, tobacco, tea, oil extraction, and soybean products. Without stable raw material procurement channels, normal operations cannot be maintained.

The only thing that works.

Even smelting, wood product processing and other industries will be the focus of the future development of Chang'an City.

The two are chatting.

Qin Shuang knocked on the door and came in, and reported, "My lord, the special forces guarding at the foot of Zhaoxia Mountain just sent a message that the orc army from Heifengzhai has come down the mountain."

"So fast?"

Tang Jing was a little surprised, thinking he would have to wait another two days, "How many people are there?"

"Around five thousand, including tauren, pig-headed man, troll, wolf man, rat man, goblin, lizard man, half-orc and other races, and even a behemoth."

"Behemoth, how is it possible?"

Tang Jing was even more unbelievable, "With just a Heifeng stronghold, you can raise Behemoth giant beasts?"

"It's amazing, but it's also true."

Qin Shuang was as calm as ever, "The special team also reported that the orc army also brought siege vehicles, ladders and other siege equipment. It seems that they came prepared."

"You really think highly of us."

Fortunately for Tang Jing, he decisively launched a second wave of sweeps, allowing the City Guard Brigade to expand again.

otherwise.

With the previous strength alone, it is really difficult to deal with it.

"It's good to come."

Tang Jing was not discouraged, and turned to look at Mr. Wu, "After this battle is over and the hidden dangers of Heifeng Village are eliminated, we can build affiliated villages with peace of mind."

"Yes."

Mr. Wu nodded and didn't say much.

.........

In the evening, when the troops who went out to mop up returned, Tang Jing summoned the generals to revise the battle plan that had been discussed before based on the first-hand intelligence of the orc army.

All the generals have a consensus——

Although the invading orc army was larger than expected and better prepared, it was not difficult to defend.

"The difficulty is, how to kill the orcs to the maximum extent?"

The orcs are not stupid. Once the siege fails, they may retreat on their own.

But it won't really let it go.

Maybe one day, more orcs will gather to attack.

There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

More importantly, Tang Jing also expected to wipe out the old nest of Heifeng Village in one fell swoop through this battle, and obtain enough crystal cores and rare props to lay the foundation for the next development of Chang'an City.

Otherwise, why get more people in exchange?

"If you want to achieve the maximum damage, you can't deploy all the troops inside the city. You need to ambush one or two surprise soldiers outside the city to play the role of intercepting the enemy." Gao Shun, Zheng Zheng of the trapped camp, spoke.

"I'm afraid it won't work."

Qin Shuang interjected, "There are wild wolves staring at the periphery of Chang'an City all the time, and the orcs have a keen sense of smell. If you want to hide a large army outside the city, it will be easy for the orcs to detect in advance."

"Then what if you hide in the city? For example, in the outer city."

"It's not easy to hide in the outer city, is it?"

"OK…"

Tang Jing smiled and said his solution.

"It's doable."

All the generals nodded in unison, "If this is the case, we must directly abandon the outer city wall."

"Give up and give up."

Tang Jing was very decisive, "The previous battle with the wolf man has proved that the orcs can never be stopped with a pile of stones, and they have to rely on the city wall."

"That's true."

After reaching a consensus, the generals began to discuss specific combat arrangements.

.........

The orcs moved quickly.

At around 09:30 the next morning, they appeared in the southern suburb of Chang'an City.

Mighty.

A [-]-scale army is already enough to shake the mountains.

A large piece of black press.

Looking around, the orcs were all full of energy and vicious. In order to overwhelm the human race, they deliberately slapped their chests or beat their shields with weapons.

Make a deafening noise.

In the army formation, under the black banner, surrounded by a group of tauren warriors, was none other than Saren, the master of Heifengzhai——Saka.

Wearing a black heavy infantry armor, he is even more burly and sturdy.

Like a warrior out of hell.

"Really building a city"

Looking not far away, stretching to the east and west sides, without seeing the end of the pile of stones, Saka's expression was solemn.

Really have to wait until the city is built.

The sudden appearance of the human territory in front of him will become the biggest threat to the surrounding orcs.

Be sure to get rid of it in one fell swoop!
This is also why, this time, Saka not only let the Black Wind Village come out, but also deliberately contacted the two bandit camps in Zhaoxia Mountain to send troops together.

Not just to avenge his stupid brother Sarn.

"Brother, is there a need for such a big fanfare? Isn't it just the territory of the human race?" Seeing this, Sann on the side still showed his disdain for the human race.

I completely forgot the nightmare I encountered not long ago.

"madness!"

Saka shouted angrily, "I fell down twice, don't you have a long memory?"

He doesn't think so.

The successive defeats of the wolf man army and the bandit battalion in the territory of the human race all depended on luck.

There must be something else to rely on.

"Hey, how can my Rogue Camp compare to your Black Wind Village. This time, the Custodian will turn the human territory in front of us into ruins." San didn't care, and was even eager to try.
