Zhang Yi and others returned to Mopan City successfully.
This is something to be thankful for. If tens of thousands of Northwest Wolf Cavalry desperately catch up, no one will be able to escape.
Xiaolong was leading people to reinforce the tall stone wall overnight. He saw the warriors who retreated from the tiger's mouth and learned about the situation on the battlefield. There was no need to support Yi Ge, they were all cavalry and would soon retreat to the mountain city. Xiaolong knew this deployed.
Even so, he still waited with fear. Finally, in the dark night, on the wasteland, the sound of heavy horse hooves came from the distance.
"Little dragon!" Zhang Yi shouted, and he immediately saw the little dragon standing on the hill holding a torch.
"Brother Yi!" Xiaolong rushed over and raised the torch to shine. When he saw Niu Ben, Zhou Rui and others, he knew that Xiao Han had gone to Xikou Village.
"I think it was late at night when the Northwest Army arrived," Zhang Yi said with a smile. "They were so frightened by the warriors of our Iron Tiger Regiment that they probably lost their souls."
Everyone laughed.
At this time, it was time to break the boat and there was no room for any negativity and pessimism, so Zhang Yi cheered up and joked to boost morale.
Zhang Yi can't think of a better way at the moment and can only look for opportunities in the subsequent battles.
Everyone returned to the checkpoint, and the headquarters was located nearby in the original market management room. Song Laohei and other leaders were guarding here, waiting anxiously for Zhang Yi's return.
When they saw Zhang Yi, everyone cheered and felt much more at ease immediately.
Zhang Yi realized that everyone had a mysterious trust in him, and seemed to believe that he still had the ability to turn things around in desperate situations.
I hope so, Zhang Yi silently prayed to God for help.
Zhang Yi briefly introduced today's combat experience and won thunderous applause and cheers.
The three brothers regarded the tens of thousands of troops as if they were wooden men made of clay. They charged three times and knocked a man off his back. This is simply a legend!
When it comes to the defense of Laohukou, Niu Ben cannot be blamed for the loss of lack of experience. In fact, Zhang Yi only accumulated valuable experience in positional defense warfare after the First World War in Wanchunzhai.
Xiaolonghui reported that there are now a total of 50,000 people gathered in Mopan City, including about 8,000 young and middle-aged people, which is a lot of people. Unfortunately, they lack armor and weapons, so they can only hide in the stone wall to defend.
Zhang Yi nodded. Without armor or weapons, they would be like lambs waiting to be slaughtered when they stepped onto the battlefield. Moreover, they had not received training, so they were just a ragtag group to an enemy who was armed to the teeth and could only defend.
Anu and Yue Yaer said that they could organize a women's army of 10,000 people, and they could fight with kitchen knives and sticks without weapons.
Zhang Yi shook his head and refused. Men could not fight head-on, let alone women. This women's army was responsible for taking care of the sick and wounded, transporting supplies, and they were never allowed to participate in the battle.
"I will not allow the elderly, children and women to go to the battlefield," Zhang Yi said loudly, "Unless I die on the battlefield, you can fight to protect yourselves. Finally, you can give up resistance. I believe they will not be cruel enough to kill the old and the weak. Women and children..."
This is the worst possible outcome, and Zhang Yi does not want unnecessary sacrifices.
"Brother Yi, if you die on the battlefield, I will rush forward and fight the enemy to the death. Let us all meet under the underworld!" Anu said emotionally.
After that, she and Niu Ben hugged each other. Niu Ben nodded repeatedly, he thought so too, everyone must be together in life and death.
"Brother Xiao went to Xikou Village again. It doesn't matter. We will meet each other sooner or later." Yue Ya'er was very sad but also very strong. "Brother Yi, everyone I know plans to share life and death with you. You
You must not die, we will definitely win the battle!"
Yue Ya'er burst into tears as she spoke, hoping to see a miracle happen.
Everyone felt uncomfortable.
The men clenched their fists, their eyes were red, and they shouted one after another that the enemy had bullied them too much, so why not die, let's kill them all together!
Men and women do have different ideas. The men in the Mopan City area are used to seeing life and death, and they have an attitude that they regard death as home.
"Fortunately, I didn't expect that I would still have a chance to fight before my old bones fall apart, hahaha!" Song Laohei said with a smile, stroking his beard.
Everyone couldn't help but look at him. Yi Ge had just announced that the old man could not go to the battlefield.
"Master Song," Zhang Yi said, "sit in the rear and just watch the battle and inspect the loopholes in the position. We are enough for the battle."
"Isn't this inappropriate?" Song Laohei still wanted to fight for it, but was dissuaded by everyone.
"Everyone!" Zhang Yi said to encourage morale, "There are unforeseen circumstances, and the battlefield situation is also changing rapidly. We should not be pessimistic. We must persevere until the last moment. Maybe there will be changes that we did not expect!"
Everyone nodded. In critical moments, the leader's will often decides everything.
In Zhang Yi, there is a kind of faith that is burning and unstoppable. The strong energy makes people feel awe. One person, because he is determined, can make everyone become determined and form a full cohesion, which is unstoppable!
Zhang Yi has demonstrated his courage to fight and resourceful strategies more than once. In fact, the most shocking thing is his benevolence and righteousness.
This kind of benevolence and righteousness that is rare in the wasteland world was initially ignored and ridiculed by people, but people gradually discovered that this is the greatest power that can profoundly change a person.
A smile appeared on the face of the orphan, the self-destructive person began to work actively, the ruthless person realized the joy of helping others, and the scattered people came together...
This cannot be accomplished by force and wealth.
This group of people gathered together can unleash the most powerful power in the world!
…
In a short period of time, Zhang Yi completed pre-war mobilization. He inspired the confidence of dozens of leaders, and these dozens of people would pass on their courage to everyone in Mopan City.
Next, everyone acted quickly.
Xiaolong's preparations were very thorough. He learned from the successful experience of the Wanchunzhai War. On the outskirts of Mopan City, he led tens of thousands of men, women, and children to fight day and night, digging two trenches filled with sharp stakes that would be punctured if they fell.
It's heart-breakingly cool.
A protective wall was built behind the two trenches, and the warriors of the Green Eagle Regiment could use bows and crossbows to snipe the enemy and prevent the enemy from attacking.
In other words, the enemy can only reach the tall stone wall by rushing through these two obstacles. This stone wall was formed by stacking large and small stones on the wasteland when Zhang Yi led people to reclaim the wasteland last year.
At that time, he thought of the possibility of Liu Kai's army attacking.
To be precise, it is a pile of huge rocks and a stone wall. The jagged rocks are difficult for people and horses to cross.
Zhang Yi, accompanied by Xiaolong, patrolled Mopan City overnight. He was very satisfied. Xiaolong was a wizard in the construction of defensive fortifications, and he relied on his excellent commanding skills to complete the fortifications in a very short time.
.
The people in the Mopan City area have tried their best to defend their homes!
