.

In addition, the county wall is higher, making it easier to defend against foreign enemies.

Even so, Wei Cheng was still worried, and he led Wei's people to begin the renovation and construction of the entire defense fortifications in Anyi County.

After looking at the defense fortifications of Anyi County, even though Wei Cheng was a military novice, he discovered many loopholes.

For example: many ditches in the city are dug into the ground and are connected to the inner city. This obviously provides the enemy with a special passage into the city. Without saying anything, Wei Cheng had people block all the ditches.

As for the sewage problem, digging a septic tank can solve it.

Another example: City defenses in this era did not consider the enemy's fire attack, so there were naturally no water storage tanks and cisterns around the streets and houses. Wei Cheng did not waste any time and forced all streets and houses to be resettled.

A large water tank.

Streets are 20 meters apart, and every house with a yard must have a large water tank to store rainwater. If the house catches fire, the water can be used to put out the fire immediately.

This problem could have been solved by diverting water from the Fen River five miles away, but now it is obviously too late to expand the moat and canals, so we can only use water tanks and reservoirs for a while.

There are also some new simple defense methods and traps, such as wooden fences, which can effectively block the cavalry's offensive, as well as trenches and horse traps. Wei Cheng had people dig several holes at some high points and places with wide views.

Each one will be tricked when the time comes.

Of course, in addition to these, necessary counterattack means are also indispensable.

Led by the Wei family, the common people in the city who had not yet left chose to join the queue for city defense. Even the refugees passing by also enthusiastically chose to join, because the Wei family not only provided food, but also a set of winter clothes.

The people of Wei were very active in solving the problem of food and clothing with such great wealth. In less than half a day, nearly 3,000 people had joined the defense force. Currently, Xu Huang and others are leading the training.

The team temporarily followed Wei Cheng's arrangements in Wei Village, and divided Xu Huang, Guan Yu, Xu Chu, and Zhang Fei into four square formations. Each formation was based on the original guard members and villagers, and attracted the people in the city to join, with a total of four thousand people.

people.

Soldiers should be more sophisticated than numerous.

Wei Cheng felt that four thousand people would be enough, and the remaining people could join in the construction of city defense and do whatever they could.

It's definitely not possible to eat and drink for free. If you want to eat and clothe yourself, you have to work.

Xu Ding was responsible for driving the carriage, while Wei Cheng sat in the carriage and thought about what else was missing.

Not long after, the two came to the north of the city.

"Sir, look!" Xu Dingle stopped the carriage, turned around and said in a deep voice.

Wei Cheng's expression changed, and he looked in the direction he was pointing, his brows furrowed.

I saw thick smoke billowing in the sky, and the smoke dispersed with the wind. It was visually estimated that the source of the fire should be no less than ten miles away from here. But even so, it was still possible to judge the ferocity of the fire based on the rising smoke.

"It should be a village."

Wei Cheng didn't look too good and said to Xu Ding: "Go back and send a few people over to take a look."

Xu Ding nodded, turned the horse's head and rushed towards the city.

Wei Cheng looked back at the direction where the smoke was rising, and his brows could not help but frown even more tightly.

After he came out of the mountains in the past two days, all he saw along the way were haggard and displaced Li people. These were the people who escaped, but... what about those who did not choose to escape? Did they really have any chance when they encountered the Baibo Army?

The power of resistance?

The answer is obviously no, ordinary people can only be slaughtered and ravaged.

Those who slay dragons will eventually become evil dragons.

These so-called rebels chanted the slogan of overthrowing the corrupt court and saving the common people, but in fact they did more despicable things than Zhang Rang, He Jin and others.

At least Zhang Rang, He Jin and others know how to raise pigs and cannot kill ordinary people. However, these so-called rebels shout nice slogans, but when they encounter ordinary people who disagree with them, they can only join and fight.

Two choices are to be killed.

Which is right or wrong, maybe Wei Cheng can't say.

But now that he has encountered it, he will not let tragedy happen in front of his eyes.

At least in the territory of Anyi, under his nose, as long as someone dares to bully and rob the people wantonly, he will not ignore it.

The two returned to the city, and Wei Cheng directly found the place where Xu Huang and others were training.

"Gongming, Yun Chang, you two quickly lead five hundred cavalry, with the county town as the center, within a radius of twenty miles. I don't want to see the existence of Bai Bo thieves."

The expressions of Xu Huang and Guan Yu, who were training soldiers, changed, and Wei Cheng's expression became terrifyingly gloomy. The two of them didn't know why Wei Cheng, who usually had a calm look on his face, suddenly changed into a different person.

Xu Ding winked at the two of them, and then pointed to the north.
