After all, if they encounter a group of monsters, ordinary people like them will have no chance of survival!

Shen Lang was about to explain when he saw everyone was looking at him.

The eyes of many people flickered, and they seemed to have the idea of ​​retreating.

"Herd of monsters?"

"This……"

"If we are targeted by a group of monsters, will we still be alive?"

"Can a horse outrun a monster?"

"The boss won't run away on his own, will he?"

"Is the monster coming for us?"

"Why don't we run first..."

"The leader is a monk, he's fine, we'll be cannon fodder."

"Yes, I have heard before that there was a monk who led a team and treated everyone behind him as abandoned."

"If I run away and get discovered, I'll die..."

"I don't want to end up in the monster's stomach."

At this time, Shen Lang intuitively felt the importance of the so-called military morale.

The soldiers of this era are not the modern soldiers. Modern soldiers jump into the flood to build a human wall, and firefighters rush into the fire to put out the fire and save people. They really don't care about their own life or death.

However, for soldiers in this era, their morale would collapse if their combat casualties exceeded 20%.

If more than 30% of the troops do not collapse, they are all iron troops.

Monsters are a huge threat to humans. In addition, the people who escaped from Muyun City were exaggerating the horror of monsters. Even these veterans were a little scared. The first thing they wanted to do was to run away...

"Master, we need to confirm whether it is a demon beast or a wild beast, so that I can know whether we should retreat directly or have more food!" Shen Lang said in a loud voice.

Mo Yi and Shen Lang have known each other for such a long time, and they have a very good understanding of each other. Looking into Shen Lang's eyes, she seemed to understand what Shen Lang meant.

"It's a pack of leopards, led by three mortal beasts, and the others are all ordinary leopards." Mo Yi responded.

"Oh my god, you just probed carefully, you scared me to death..." Shen Lang patted his chest with lingering fear and breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing that it was three monsters that had leaped into the mortal realm who were leading the group and the others were just ordinary leopards, Erniu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The soldiers thought about it and realized that although ordinary leopards were scary, they had horses and swords, so they would not be helpless.

As for the three leaders of the Leaping Ordinary Realm, don't we have four monks? It should be fine...

No matter how nervous you are, what people fear is always the unknown and the insurmountable.

As long as there is hope of victory, fear will not cloud one's mind.

"Don't underestimate these beasts!" Mo Yi shouted, "There are so many of them. If we fight hard, we may win, but I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of price! Our monks are fine, but they don't have armor on them, so they can't withstand the bite of the leopard."

"I suggest we retreat! Don't worry, they are too far away to outrun us."

"Um……"

Shen Lang pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said loudly: "I'm sorry everyone, I wanted to give you a snack and let you taste the leopard meat. Since there are so many, it's more important for us to save our lives."

Wei Qianluo and Lu Fengxian felt a little disappointed when they heard this.

These two really thought that what came was a group of ordinary leopards, and they were ready for extra food...

"Everyone, get on your horses! Do everything I just ordered immediately. Do not dismount without my order. Be ready to evacuate at any time!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Erniu led everyone to do the work.

The tense atmosphere before also disappeared without a trace.

Mo Yi was surprised to find that although Shen Lang had never led troops before, he was surprisingly good at leading troops.

I haven't seen him integrate with the soldiers these days, and he hasn't even learned any professional knowledge, but he can control these 100 people.

In fact, this is a unique ability of many modern people.

Shen Lang can't lead troops, but he can lead generals.

As long as we manage Erniu and the other team leader well and improve their treatment, these one hundred people will be easy to manage.

As for convincing more people with your speech, the problem can be solved by painting a rosy picture and fooling everyone into thinking that it is not dangerous.

Ok……

After all, he was a team leader when he worked before, and the leader didn't really manage those ordinary employees. He just managed them and let them manage ordinary employees.

…………

Cannes.

The city of Kangcheng is now under martial law. Most of the soldiers have climbed up the city walls and formed a pincer attack with the military camp outside the city to resist the attack of the grassland people.

The sixth prince Ji Wendi was sitting in the government office, giving orders.

All the constables have become messengers, and the county magistrate and other civil officials have become the Sixth Prince's deputies, helping him with military calculations.

"Your Highness!"

The East Gate Commander arrived outside the county government office, exhausted, and knelt on one knee: "The grassland people are coming fiercely, and our army is running out of rolling logs and stones."

"When the logs and stones are all used up, tear down the houses!" Ji Wendi threw out a command arrow: "First tear down the houses that no one uses, and see if it's enough!"

"Order!"

Not long after, another city gate commander arrived at the county government office and shouted, "Your Highness, there is not enough gunpowder at the west gate..."

"If there is not enough gunpowder, use arrows and people to fill it!" Ji Wendi said loudly.

"But, with such strong wind and sand..." the city gate commander whispered, "I'm afraid the arrows won't be able to shoot very far."

"The crossbows and catapults we built these days can be used." Ji Wendi's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance: "Use the heavy crossbow!"

"As for the stones needed, tear down the house for me!"

"Order!"

The order to open the city gate has been issued.

"Your Highness..." The county magistrate hesitated for a moment and said to Ji Wendi, "Those uninhabited houses can be demolished, but... aren't there enough people to demolish the houses?"

The entire Cannes city was already running at high speed. All available public officials were being utilized, even the county magistrate's household servants were helping to transport things.

But even so, it seems a little beyond my ability.

Kangcheng is the city closest to the grassland people. Those who have some ability in the city run as fast as they can.

They did not run away on their own, but took with them a great deal of property and servants.

Don't underestimate these slaves. When fighting, their combat effectiveness and physical fitness are no less than those of regular troops, and they are even much stronger than some weaker regular troops.

The loss of these people is equivalent to the city losing one or two thousand manpower.

Not only that, most of the monks in Tianyuan Street also ran away. The remaining ones were reluctant to leave their own houses, thinking that what if the grassland people did not attack, or attacked in other directions.

"Conscript the civilians." Ji Wendi said, "Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of the country. All the young and strong men between the ages of fourteen and forty should be mobilized."

"This..." The county magistrate opened his mouth and said, "They are just civilians. How can they have any fighting ability? If we really let them climb the city wall, I'm afraid it won't enhance their fighting power, but will only cause more trouble."

"We don't need them to climb the city wall." Ji Wendi shook his head: "They can block the door, tear down the house, and transport catapults, right?"

"Tell the people in the city that there were only a few survivors in the battle of Muyun City. These grassland people are the evil spirits from hell!"

"Now all four city gates are blocked by grassland people. If they enter the city, all women and children in the city will die!"

"The grasslands don't have that many soldiers, only about 10,000. We have 2,000 soldiers in the city and 2,000 soldiers from the Northern Expedition Army. They can only break through our city walls if they have more than 20,000 people!"

"The first attack is powerful, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. We have survived one attack. If we can survive two more, the grassland people will retreat without a fight."

"Yes!" the county magistrate responded and went to do his work.

The county magistrate couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was easy to say that he would recruit civilians. They were real people, not cold numbers. It was very troublesome to make them work honestly. He had to dispatch some constables to catch them, manage them well, and make them work.

However, now is the time for Cannes to survive. Even if it will temporarily cause a greater shortage of manpower, this is the only way. I hope the people on the city wall can hold on...

Ji Wendi let out a long sigh and looked at the sand table in front of him with a frown.

The Divine Mysterious Realm cultivator behind him said with a look of satisfaction: "Your Highness remained calm in the face of danger, and has shown the demeanor of a great man."

"Uncle Wen." Ji Wendi held up chess pieces and surrounded the entire Cannes city. "This offensive is a bit weak..."

"Based on the battle of Muyun City, they understood the art of war. They surrounded the city on three sides and left one side open, which gave the people and soldiers hope of survival. That's why the people in the city did not defend to the death."

"Moreover, they were monsters, barbarians, and the Divine Mystic Realm cavalrymen who helped climb the wall. One thing led to another, and Zhao Qingyang had no power to resist at all."

"Now……"

Ji Wendi thought that Zhao Qingyang would rebel and that Zhao Qingyang was a bad person, but he didn't think that Zhao Qingyang was a loser.

The King of Zhenbei has been able to rule the northern border for a thousand years. All the kings of Zhenbei in previous generations were at the level of celestial beings. If they were weak, there would be no strong people in the world.

Moreover, the reason why the King of Zhenbei was judged to be likely to rebel or even establish himself as an emperor was precisely because the Zhenbei Army was so powerful.

Caoyuan can easily chew off the tough bone of Zhao Qingyang, let alone Kangcheng.

Uncle Wen also started thinking about it.

He spent more time on cultivation and had only a vague understanding of military tactics.

"Could it be that their attack on the city was just a feint, and the main force has already attacked Goose City?"

After hearing Uncle Wen's words, Ji Wendi thought of something.

Goose City...

If it was a normal weather day, bypassing Cannes to attack Goose City would be simply seeking death.

As long as troops are dispatched, the troops in Kangcheng will be able to cut off the enemy's supply lines, and the troops in Xuanmo Pass can also provide support.

But in this kind of weather, both Xuanmo Pass and Echeng have become blind and are unable to make any effective response.

If Goose City is cut off, Cannes will be an isolated city!

Forty thousand Zhenbei troops were stationed in Yongning City, not supporting them but just watching the fun. The grasslands destroyed E City, destroyed Kang City, and then attacked Xuanmo Pass...

"Your Highness, a large number of the Northern Expedition Army is still behind Xuanmo Pass, and it will take two days before they can enter the pass. With the blessing of the Xuanmo Pass formation, this extreme weather may not be able to hinder the Northern Expedition Army's progress, but it can still block their vision."

"The view is blocked, and the soldiers from Xuanmo Pass may not dare to come to support..."

"Let me take advantage of the fact that the enemy's offensive is not fierce now and retreat to Xuanmo Pass with His Highness."

"Let's give the cities in the northern border to them first. Anyway, most of the cities in the northern border are concentrated in Leiyun Pass and Muyun City. We just lost some mineral veins. We can drive them away when the army arrives."

"Leave? If I leave now, my second and third brothers will laugh at me to death." Ji Wendi sneered, "I'm here to win military merit, not to let them laugh at me."

"There are still 40,000 people in this city right now. It's easy to gather 5,000 strong men. With the formation materials from the Armament Department, it won't be a problem to hold out for ten days!"

"Besides...I have hidden a group of elite soldiers here!"

Ji Wendi pointed at the sand table and said, "These are the two thousand elite soldiers my uncle gave me. They are led by masters of the Divine Wandering Realm and are well-equipped. How can I be worthy of my uncle's painstaking efforts if I don't fight now?"

"Somebody come!"

"Your Highness!" A constable stepped out.

"I didn't call you..." Ji Wendi glared at the constable.

Upon hearing this, the constable immediately knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

"Advisor!" Ji Wendi's eyes were on the county magistrate's advisor.

There are some things that the detectives have no authority to use.

"Your Highness..." The lawyer stood up.

"Do you know why he is the county magistrate? Are you his legal advisor?" Ji Wendi asked coldly.

The master shook his head: "I don't know."

"I gave an order just now, and he was the first to do it. You are just writing and writing. There is a war going on. Is there so much to write about? You are also in the Divine Sea Realm, can't you do something meaningful?" Ji Wendi said in a deep voice.

"I admit my mistake..." The master bowed quickly, then complained in his heart: You just called someone over, who knows who you called?
