Fro had learned that when the Kalise Ereatly increased the tax rates All the cory about it, but under military suppression, they dared not even protest This was also the reason why the entire city had been relative quiet even after learning about the Heavenly Bow E’s orders came into play one after the other, the citizens of the Crescent City slowly calmed down and they finally dared to coiood impression in these past days
By the time the Kalise Empire received news about the Crescent City, it was already three days since the attack In this three days, although Zhou Weiqing couldn’t say that he had already gained full control over the city, at least it was tentatively back in working order Of course, that was still only within the city For now at least, he still kept the gates sealed, not allowing anyone to leave
The governor’s ’s te left Xiao Yan to take care of her As long as she did not interfere in his matters, he did not need to bother with her
"Coiment of Kalise Empire forces caht attack us at anyti nodded and said: "Roger Thank you Kou Rui, bring a few brothers to detour around and scout the areas as well Take care to check if they have really only sent a single Regiment&8221;
Kou Rui nodded as he received the orders, leaving to execute the as an aduan Xue’er, Tian’er, Lin TianAo, Lei Zi, Crow and Ma Qun were all there, as well as Yan Zhexi and the other elite class’s class At this moment, Yan Zhexi had assumed temporary leadership of the class of aze turned to Yan Zhexi and he said: "Zhexi, what do you think about the current situation?&8221;
Yan Zhexi said: "From the current situation, I believe that the Kalise Eiment After all, the Bai Da Eth of ten Regiments Furthermore, they would be separated to the various parts of the Empire, as well as their own horeat surprise to theed to seal any news of the attack They should not know our current nuth I believe that we currently do not need to worry about any of their reinforcements for now What we need to do now is to entrench ourselves and fortify our position, to defend it until the Fei Li Eistic troops with supplies&8221;
Pausing for a moment, he continued: "However, this is only a short ter troops? Although our army is extremely powerful, we only number seven hundred in total If more enemies come, and that is an eventual outcome, they can attack us from all directions Once our forces are split up, it will be extremely difficult for us to withstand a sustained attack I propose that we begin recruiting soldiers, and with the core of the Peerless Regi some new recruits on each wall, ill be able to put up a proper full defense&8221;
Hearing Yan Zhexi’s analysis which was reasonable, clear and logical, Zhou Weiqing nodded in satisfaction as he said: "Your suggestion is not bad However, the current hearts and minds of the people are still not stabilized, and it is not a suitable tiin recruitment yet In terms of military command, I a run, the hearts and minds of the citizens is the most important To put it simply, if you are currently just a norroup of soldiers Even if these soldiers were once belonging to the city, before you can ascertain their strength, whether or not they have a future, whether or not they can provide you with safety, to protect your city… would you actually be willing to join up with them? When the enemy comes to attack, that will be the ti the Crescent City citizen’s confidence in us&8221;
Hearing Zhou Weiqing’s words, Yan Zhexi nodded slowly, as if deep in thought At last, he asked: "In that case, Commander, what should we do?&8221; In ter’s could not compare with him However, he had never been on an actual battlefield, and he definitely needed actual co with experience to have a truly co andsaid confidently, as if he had already thought everything through: "Lei Zi, get some men to invite two hundred citizens as representatives If you are not able to get enough volunteers, grab and ‘persuade’ them to do so However, I do not want you to injure anyone I want these two hundred citizens to be able to watch our incoe point of the city walls, so try to make sure that there are representatives from all walks of life, hopefully every trade and industry as well Crow, Ma Qun, this is tiet you two to lead your two hundred Tribesiment, do you all dare to do so? Would you have confidence in victory?&8221;
Ma Qun laughed heartily and said: "Boss, in that case, does that ain a larger percentage of loot?&8221;
Zhou Weiqing laughed heartily as well, saying: "of course, you all will get forty percent of it all, with the rest split ast the other five hundred brothers I want you to achieve a resounding and beautiful victory, to charge and show the iment More importantly, I want the morale of our people! As for how you tish to conduct the battle, I’ll leave it to you two to coe into their camp, in case of any traps or unforeseen ambushes At the say to return safely&8221;
"For the retreat, I will have our top archers to cover you This fight, I want to build our reputation and prestige, not only to boost our st the citizens, but also to crush the enemy’s morale&8221;
Ma Qun thumped his chest confidently "Boss, leave it to us Ever since our Peerless Heavy Cavalry has been set up, we have never ht not be able to slaughter the deal&8221;
