Su Liancheng pulled out the sword from his waist: "Very good, now you will join me to kill all the intruders and protect our homeland!"
"Yes!" All the Xuanjia soldiers responded in unison.
Su Liancheng subconsciously glanced in the direction of the tower, then turned around resolutely and led the group of soldiers straight to Benma River.
When Hua Xinyu saw Jiang Huatong's gaze, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
She explained from the side: "Several princes in the First City have their own bodyguards."
"It's just that Lotte and his guards don't have many people, only about a hundred people."
"Liancheng is the young city lord. His safety is very important, so he has about a thousand guards."
"His guard usually trains outside the city and rarely enters the city."
"He was assassinated in a small town a few days ago. He thought someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he called his guards back overnight."
"The house you saw is not an ordinary house, but the city defense reserve of the First City."
"There is a huge space below, and thousands of people can be hidden inside."
Jiang Huatong was a little surprised: "If there is room to hide thousands of people down there, the tunnel must be extremely wide, and more than ten acres of land would have to be dug out underground."
Hua Xinyu nodded: "Everyone knows that there is a very powerful formation in the first city, but they don't know that there is a mystery behind the formation."
"The Taizu who built the first city was a military genius. When he built the first city into an iron wall, he also left a way for the city to retreat."
There was a bit of curiosity in Jiang Huatong's eyes.
Hua Xinyu didn't hide it from her: "Everything underground in the First City is empty."
"Actually, this statement is not prepared. Instead, it should be said that the construction method of the First City is very strange."
"Taizu did not dig a tunnel underground to put the formations in, but made the formations directly on the original ground."
"After he completed the formation, he built a huge city with stones and pillars on top of the formation."
"He made a very precise plan in the city, leaving out the outlet of the well and the direction of the river."
"So when you arrive in the First City, you should find that the wells in the First City are deeper than those in ordinary places, and the banks of the rivers are also high."
"Actually, it's not that the well is too deep, but that Taizu was building the formation and then building a city on top of the formation, raising the first city by more than a foot."
This was the first time Jiang Huatong heard these things. She was very shocked: "So the entire First City is a city built on pads?"
Hua Xinyu shook his head: "That's not entirely true, it's just like this in the main city."
"When Taizu built the First City, he did not expect that the First City would develop to its current scale."
"Decades ago, the First City expanded its city because of its excessive population. We call the expanded city a new city."
After she finished speaking, she pointed to the distance and said, "That area is the new city."
"When the new city was built, my father put a lot of thought into integrating the new city's expanded area with the terrain of the old city."
"So now, from the surface, there is no difference between the old city and the new city."
"It's just that if the city defense formation is activated, there will be no formations or mechanisms in the new city."
"But over in the new city, my father has set up a chain crossbow. If someone comes to attack, the chain crossbow will protect the nearby people."
Only now did Jiang Huatong know the reason why the First City could be compared to the Six Kingdoms as one city.
Apart from anything else, if someone wanted to invade the First City, with the city's defense formation and the First City's smelting skills there, he would probably be beaten to the point where his own mother wouldn't even recognize him.
Jiang Hua Tonglue hesitated for a moment and then said: "These are the secrets of the First City. Wouldn't it be bad if Madam told me?"
Hua Xinyu smiled: "I saw it when you and Liancheng were together."
"This kid in Liancheng is very affectionate, and you are also very affectionate."
Jiang Huatong's face turned red instantly.
Hua Xinyu gently took her hand and said, "It's time for men to get married, and for women to get married. There's no need to be embarrassed about this."
"I originally thought I would come and tell you about this matter in the next two days, but I didn't expect these people were so worried that they started fighting."
"Now I can only wait until the war subsides before I can arrange your wedding."
Jiang Huatong's face turned even redder, and she asked softly: "Isn't this too hasty?"
Hua Xinyu was absolutely delighted when she heard this, because Jiang Huatong asked if it was too hasty and had no objection.
This means that Jiang Huatong is willing to marry Su Liancheng.
She smiled and said: "Liancheng is already thirty years old, and you are already twenty."
"You have wasted too much time before, but now you understand each other's intentions, so naturally you can't delay it any longer."
"So this matter not only needs to be urgent, but also needs to be done as soon as possible."
"Letian and Changping are ahead of you when it comes to getting married. You should try to have children before them."
Jiang Huatong: "..."
She felt that Hua Xinyu was thinking too far!
She was already thin-skinned in this regard, and now her face turned red.
Hua Xinyu laughed when she saw her look like this. She liked Jiang Huatong's temperament very much.
She was about to say something more when the sounds of fighting and war drums were heard in the distance.
Hua Xinyu looked in that direction and said, "It was the troops led by Liancheng who fought with the enemy."
"That location is on the New City side. The enemy is coming very quickly."
At this time, the boy came over in a hurry and said: "Madam, the enemy is coming from the Benma River."
"The Young City Lord and the Second Young Master are guarding the enemy with their soldiers."
Hua Xinyu was not too surprised. She nodded slightly and asked, "Where is the city lord?"
The boy replied: "The city lord has taken his soldiers and horses to guard Hulao Pass in person."
Hua Xinyu nodded: "It is most appropriate for him to go to Hulao Pass in person. You can go and inquire about the news. If there is any news, report back immediately."
The boy retreated again.
Hua Xinyu explained to Jiang Huatong: "There is also a large formation at Hulao Pass."
"It's just because Hulao Pass is the first barrier for the First City to resist foreign enemies, so the city lord has been personally maintaining the formation there."
"He is the most familiar with it. As long as he is here, it is impossible for the soldiers and horses outside to get in!"
Jiang Huatong found that Hua Xinyu seemed very confident when saying these things.
She knew that Hua Xinyu's confidence came from her confidence in Su Yan.
The war has just begun. After receiving the news, everyone in the First City made the most appropriate response.
This kind of response lays the solid foundation for winning the war.
Jiang Huatong has fought in battles and knows that the battlefield is constantly changing. The more prepared you are, the greater the chance of success.
She knew that such a war needed to be resolved quickly.
The longer it is delayed, the more detrimental it will be to the First City.
Because after a long time, the first city will easily become a trapped city.
