After receiving Tang Jing's order, Yue Fei immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters.
Participating in the meeting were Xu Chu, the commander of the Guards Battalion, Zhang Liao, the commander of the Shanshan Brigade, Tu Gang, the deputy commander of the City Guard Brigade, Tu Hong, the deputy commander of the City Guards Brigade, Yun He, the deputy commander of the Chengzhen Brigade, and Ou Lin, the deputy commander of the Formation Brigade.
The Huben Brigade was engaged in trouble on the north bank of the Meiruo River and had no time to move back.
The mopping up work of the Red Flame Brigade is still in progress. Only one heavy infantry battalion was temporarily transferred back to Chang'an City with Tu Gang, and will be incorporated into the Shanshan Brigade later.
The trap brigade transferred back a heavy infantry battalion and a spearman battalion, and were brought back by deputy brigade commander Orin.
Then there are the three cavalry battalions that just completed their transfer today.
In order to deal with possible attacks by fishmen and Nagas, Yue Fei could mobilize up to nineteen battalions of troops, nearly ten thousand troops, which looked very impressive.
But among these nineteen battalions, nine are new recruits who have just completed their transfer today.
His combat effectiveness was instantly reduced by half.
"We also have our advantages. First, as the defender, we have the advantage of defending the city." At the beginning of the meeting, Yue Fei analyzed the battle situation for the generals.
In the age of cold weapons, city walls were the greatest support.
"Second, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark. The enemy does not know our actual situation and seriously underestimates our combat power, giving us a chance to win by surprise."
That's not entirely correct.
In fact, Chang'an also knew nothing about how many sea tribes the Naga tribe would organize to attack.
It's also a gamble.
I bet that the Naga tribe is unlikely to send too large an army after finding out the real situation in Chang'an.
And Chang'an dares to gamble.
The biggest support is still the city wall.
Even if the size of the army sent by the Naga tribe exceeds expectations, they can still defend it with the help of the city wall.
This is Changan’s greatest confidence.
This is also why, after the completion of the city wall outside Chang'an City, Tang Jing dared to be so "floating". While provoking the orcs, he also dared to provoke the Naga tribe.
After analyzing the advantages of the enemy and ourselves, Yue Fei began to arrange his troops.
"Xu Chu, Ou Lin!"
"The end is here!"
The two generals stood up together and saluted with clasped fists.
"Order Xu Chu as the chief general and Ou Lin as the deputy general to command the Guards Battalion, the Red Flame Brigade Heavy Infantry Battalion, the Trap Brigade Heavy Infantry Battalion, the Lancer Battalion, and the City Guard Brigade Lancer Battalion. Leave the city immediately and choose a suitable location in the eastern suburbs.
Hidden, and only wait until the enemy army is defeated and retreated before attacking to intercept them." Yue Fei ordered.
"The last general takes command!"
Xu Chu and Ou Lin also accepted the order happily, and the people they command are all elites.
It was still an ambush.
"Tu Hong, Tu Gang!"
"The end is here!"
The two brothers stood up together, their voices surprisingly consistent.
"Order Tu Hong as the chief general and Tu Gang as the deputy general to take charge of the remaining six battalions of the City Guard Brigade, the three newly formed cavalry battalions of the Huben Brigade and the archer battalion of the Shanshan Brigade, to be responsible for the defense of the city."
The cavalry battalion had just been formed, and Yue Fei did not dare to let them fight on horseback, so he could only use them as infantry.
"Remember!"
"The enemy is very likely to make a sneak attack tonight, so you must be more vigilant." Yue Fei warned.
"The last general takes command!"
Both Tu Hong and Tu Gang were veterans of city defense.
"Zhang Liao!"
Yue Fei finally named Zhang Liao.
"The end is here!"
"I order you to lead the remaining four battalions of the Shanshan Brigade as a reserve team to assemble in the city and be on standby."
"The last general takes command!"
Although it was a reserve team, Zhang Liao did not have any dissatisfaction. He was a veteran of leading troops in war, so he naturally understood that the so-called reserve team was a sharp sword to be used at critical moments.
It's fine if it doesn't come out of the sheath. Once it does, it will be stained with blood.
Zhang Liao was actually worried about whether the newly formed Shanshan Brigade could withstand the attack at the critical moment.
Don't drop the chain.
At this time, his ability as a general in commanding troops was very much tested.
Properly arranged.
All ministries took action immediately. Fortunately, they were fighting on home soil and there was no need to deploy food and grass supplies.
Troops moved very quickly.
………
Caspian Sea, Naga City.
When Shanluo and his party returned to Naga City, a 20,000-strong army had gathered outside the city.
They are so densely packed that they occupy a large area of the sea.
Very spectacular.
But if you look closely, you will find that this so-called 20,000-strong army is a bit weak. There are more than 15,000 first-level fish-men warriors among them.
Accounting for more than 70% of the total force.
In order to atone for their sins and offset the anger from the Naga tribe, the fish-men tribe went all out this time, almost all of them, to prove their loyalty to the Naga tribe.
Fortunately, the murlocs have extremely strong reproductive abilities, so they don't feel bad if they die.
The most important thing is that in the view of Karu, the leader of the murlocs, Chang'an is nothing but an empty show.
This battle is guaranteed to be won!
In this case, Karu doesn't mind a little stud, and maybe he can get a little more spoils.
The abacus is also very good.
In addition to the mighty murloc army, the second largest number is still not Naga, but the second-level Kraken. They also have fish heads and snake bodies, holding steel forks and shields, somewhat similar to low-end versions of Nagas.
The size of the Kraken is three thousand.
Others include tidal monsters, water elements, octopus monsters and other alien races in the sea.
There are actually only a thousand real Naga warriors.
The lives of Nagas are very precious, and their own ethnic group is rare. These thousand Naga warriors already account for a quarter of the combat power of Naga City.
It can't be said to be fishing.
You must know that the combat power of Naga warriors is at the third level, and they are definitely the elite among the elite.
"How about it?"
The Naga Queen, who was standing at the front of the army, asked the elder Shanluo who had returned from an envoy.
"Your Majesty, that human territory is called Chang'an Town. It has built a city wall. It looks quite intimidating, but it is just an empty show." Shangluo was full of fighting spirit.
"Mother, if we go here, we will definitely crush you."
The redeemed Naga prince Tiga has no concealment of the flame of revenge in his eyes.
Has he ever suffered such humiliation?
When the army arrives and crushes Chang'an, he will definitely cut the human lord into pieces.
"Crush?"
Queen Naga's eyes moved slightly.
"It is indeed a crushing."
Shanluo also joined in, "Your Majesty, there are really a lot of good things in that city."
"Then you will lead the expedition."
The Naga Queen will not leave Naga City easily, let alone risk going ashore.
Even if it is foolproof.
"As you command!"
Shan Luo was very excited, it was her first time to command such a large army.
"Mother, I also request to fight!" Diga was anxious.
"Then just stay with Sanluo."
Queen Naga glanced at her incompetent son and wanted to slap him to death, but she felt a little distressed when she thought that he had been redeemed with 300,000 gold coins.
"Thank you mother!"
Tiga does not dare to compete with Sanluo for power. The female Naga is the real father.
In this way, the 20,000 Hai Clan army, under the command of Shanluo and Dijia, immediately marched towards the coastline without stopping, preparing to land ashore at night and give Chang'an a surprise.
………
It was about three o'clock in the morning the next day.
Twenty thousand Hai tribe troops landed one after another from the beach, and deliberately avoided Bay Town.
"Lord Shanluo, are you going straight to Chang'an now?" Dijia was eager to give it a try.
"No!"
Shan Luo shook his head, "It's too dark and I can't see the road clearly. Let's wait until daybreak."
It stands to reason that the sea people live in the water all year round and are very adaptable to dark environments, but the darkness in the sea and the night on the shore are completely different concepts.
Shan Luo was not willing to take risks.
Since it was a crushing attack, of course it was necessary to sweep them all the way with fearful military power.
Don't fall for the human race's tricks.
"Then, shall I go hunting in a nearby town?" Diga still refused to give up.
"Go early and come back early."
Shanluo shouldn't restrain Tiga too much.
"As you command!"
Diga immediately ordered a total of five hundred Naga warriors, and recruited his younger brother Karu to lead three thousand murlocs and march towards Bay Town in a mighty manner.
Even though Tiga seems to be in a hurry, he is very cautious at critical moments.
Take away half of the Naga warriors directly.
I was just worried that I would be ambushed again in Bay Town, which would be a huge loss.
But when they entered Haiwan Town, what they saw was an empty city, not even a ghost was seen.
"Run away?"
Tiga was disappointed.
"The human race must be worried about our revenge and have hid back in the city." Karu nodded and bowed.
"snort!"
Diga's eyes were cold, "Do you think you can avoid death by hiding in the city? It's a dream!"
"Someone is coming!"
"Burn the whole town down for me." Diga was filled with resentment.
"Your Highness, this, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. The fire will attract the attention of the human race. W-what if Master Shanluo blames him..." Kalu reminded in a low voice.
"snort!"
Diga became even more depressed, but after all he did not order the house to be burned down.
