The second step of Xiao Wen's plan started with Uncle Li. Therefore, he had come to the city wall early in the morning to look for the commander of the defense, Lee.

However, when he arrived at the northern wall's headquarters, he was informed that Uncle Li had gone to the southern wall for an inspection.

Although the north wall was the focus of the Manchu soldiers' attacks, they could not neglect the defense in other directions because of this.

Otherwise, with their agility, it would be easy for them to find weaknesses in other directions to attack.

If such a low level negligence caused the Cloud City to fall, then Uncle Lee would surely leave behind a curse in the history books, just like Zhao Qi, who had written about military matters on paper.

Furthermore, according to Xiao Wen's thinking, if the Manchu Manchu constables wanted to attack the city from another direction, or to avoid the cloud and attack the other northern cities, the location of the south wall would serve as a strategic counterattack.

Therefore, Xiao Wen had deployed four thousand cavalrymen to the south wall to attack the barbarians who were attempting to attack them. There was only one thousand cavalrymen left on the north wall. They would be used as a force to chase and kill the retreating Siege Towers. If the defenders were unable to organize a counterattack and could only defend, then no matter how strong the wall was, no matter how much food they had, it would all be destroyed.

Only attacks, only having the ability to defeat enemies, could allow an army to defend the city.

Xiao Wen was not stopped by any soldiers as he climbed up the city wall.

He looked at the crossbows, Greek fire, and other kinds of strange weapons that were placed on the battlements. He was very satisfied with them.

Turning around, Xiao Wen asked an officer who accompanied him: "How was the battle yesterday? I heard that the Tsar's men were planning to raid the nearby villages, and General Li sent five thousand cavalrymen to pursue them. I just don't know what the final result will be. "

Hearing Xiao Wen's question, the military officer quickly replied: "To return the favour of the genius doctor, the cavalry sent by the general was a complete victory yesterday. The Tattoo sent out three True Knights, a total of four thousand five hundred riders. In the end, we killed two thousand of them. At this point, the fighting spirit of the Towers will fall to the bottom, and we can easily win. "

"There seems to have been a battle on this side of the city wall yesterday?" Xiao Wen asked. Looking down from the battlements, Xiao Wen noticed there were still some broken pieces of corpses beneath the city walls, so he asked.

"Well, last night the Tarantula tried to raid our walls to test our strength, but we were met with a head-on attack. I believe they also understand that we can't afford to offend them. "

We can't afford to offend... What a bad line.

Xiao Wen cursed in his heart. Then, he told the officer some things — for example, to clean up the corpses under the city walls in time to avoid a plague.

Then, Uncle Li returned.

"Aiyee!" "Brother Xiao Wen, why didn't you tell me in advance when you came? It caused me to patrol the southern city wall and I didn't come to receive you." Uncle Li said loudly as he walked over from afar.

Seeing the four 'I'm very happy' written on the man's face, Xiao Wen also revealed a smile. He cupped his hands in salute towards Lee Bo Ke and said, "Old brother, this time you've completely blocked the Tarantula from outside the city walls, giving His Majesty the opportunity to attack the Eastern Liaoning Kingdom. This is a great merit, I believe an official visit is just around the corner."

Xiao Wen clearly knew that the Han Dynasty had a rule during its early years of existence. That was a different surname, no king. No military merits, no feudal marquis.

In other words, those with the surname 'Liu' would not be conferred the title of 'King'. And those who did not obtain military merits would not be conferred the title of marquis.

In addition, the position of prime minister had to be assumed by those with the status of a duke to ensure that the prime minister wouldn't do anything that would harm the military.

This was the reason why the Han Dynasty was known as the classical militarist country. Martial arts prevailed. Even in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the garrison troops of Frontier County could still cause friction between the barbarians and the barbarians.

Hearing Xiao Wen's congratulations, Uncle Li was overjoyed.

However, he still modestly said: "Being able to defend against all these Manchu constables is half of the credit of your little brother Xiao Wen. "Without you deciphering the secret letter written by the Tarantula, training the cavalry to defeat the Eight Flag Cavalry, manufacturing these crossbows and other defensive equipment, I'm afraid that Cloud City would already be in danger."

The two of them flattered each other, causing Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu to look away.

"How boring, is the world of adults so hypocritical? They didn't even talk about the proper topic after praising Ye Zichen for so long. Don't they feel tired? " Guan Yu said helplessly.

Zhuge Liang then said his catchphrase, "I have never seen such a shameless person."

Finally, after a long conversation, Uncle Li remembered that Xiao Wen had something to talk to him about. Therefore, he asked, "Brother Xiao Wen, what do you need help with?"

"You really are my good brother." Xiao Wen smiled and ended his flattery. He dragged him into the tent where the officers usually contested the fighting.

Looking at Uncle Li, he said, "I hope the army can agree to the terms of reference and declare this battle to the people of the city. We've barely managed to repel the attacks of the Manchu constables, but I hope the citizens don't worry, we'll definitely be able to hold on until His Majesty returns to rescue them …"

"Why?" "We don't need to wait for His Majesty to come over. We can press those Manchu Tarantes to the ground and rub them together."

His tone was somewhat unconvinced. After all, although it was the duty of a soldier to obey orders, it was also the most prideful occupation in the world.

Seeing Bo Ke Li's expression, Xiao Wen tried to comfort him, "Of course I know. Old Brother Li, your army can press those policemen down on the ground and rub them, forcing them to wear women's clothing. But my brother, I need your help. "

"What kind of help?" Uncle Li asked hesitantly. The words "I am very happy" that were originally written on his forehead had also been replaced with "I am very happy".

Xiao Wen looked around with a mysterious expression on his face. In the end, he whispered into Uncle Lee's ear, "Brother, do you still remember that spy I told you about? I almost caught him. However, with the arrival of the Manchus, the coward would probably be a lot more careful. If he knew that we had pinned his master to the ground, he wouldn't have dared to act against us. "

"Therefore, I need you to give that coward some courage, so that he will have the guts to continue jumping around. As long as he dares to play around, I'll find a chance to catch him. When the time comes, I will let him wear white stockings, the forbidden border in front of us! "

"Alright." Uncle Li nodded seriously. But he asked with some curiosity, "What is the forbidden boundary line? Brother, can you sing it? "

Hearing this, Xiao Wen's face turned red.

He hurried out of the tent.

Even if he were to die while singing this perverted song, even if he jumped off the city wall, he would not sing a single line!
