The high-ranking officers and soldiers in the hall heard Su Chen's tone of hating iron and steel, and they almost believed it in their hearts.

No matter how you look at it, Su Chen's tone and speech are like a good person.

The city guard also believed that Su Chen was a good person, and his only worry was whether Su Chen's information was accurate.

He thought about it and decided to believe half of it first.

"Come on, wake up the first and second commanders, and the rest will continue to rest!"

Fengcheng is a small city, and there is only one small army in the entire establishment.

During the Song Dynasty, a small army consisted of about 2500 people and consisted of 5 commanders.

Now the city guard decided to wake up two command units, about 1000 people.Including the guards who were already on guard at night, the total number exceeds 1200, which is half of the guard force of the city guard mansion.

Su Chen also knew that it would be difficult for the other party to fully trust her.

Call up half of the people now, and if something happens later, it will be easy for the other half to wake up.

On the other side, the scout captain who arranged the team to confirm the information has returned to the chamber.

He glared at Su Chen as soon as he came in, and then reported to the city guard: "My lord, I have sent people to check the situation quickly."

"I asked them to bring a communication pigeon. Once the situation is confirmed, he will release the pigeon and report back first, and the result will be within half an hour."

Having said that, Captain Hu of the scout team looked at Su Chen again.

He added coldly: "Anyway, I don't believe what this kid said. If it is finally confirmed that the scout team is safe and it is this kid who spread the news randomly, I ask the city guard to deal with him military law!"

The scout captain's hostility towards Su Chen was undisguised.

Su Chen just smiled without saying a word.

He and Guo Xiang stood aside, quietly watching the city guard's mansion mobilize around.

Anyway, from Su Chen's point of view, his judgment is pretty sure. A person who has watched The Legend of Condor Heroes three times will never remember the plot wrong.

Sure enough, just when half of the city guard's army had just been mobilized, the people sent by Captain Hu released the pigeons and came back.

The pigeon was well trained and landed exactly in the chamber.

Captain Hu went up to grab it, his eyes looked at the pigeon's heel, his pupils shrank suddenly!
"what happened?"

The city guard frowned and asked.

Captain Hu suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, he turned around and explained to the soldiers in the hall.

"I just arranged for people to confirm the situation, and asked them to divide the situation on the front line into three dangerous levels, and send the pigeons back."

"These three danger levels are green, yellow, and red. If the front is safe, tie a green cloth strip to the white pigeon's feet."

"If there is a problem with the scouts ahead, but no enemy is seen, use a yellow cloth to warn. If you see an enemy attack, use a red cloth to indicate."

"For the sake of convenience and speed, I asked them to tie a piece of cloth regardless of the situation, but now..."

Captain Hu was covered in cold sweat, and held up the white dove in his hand for everyone to watch.

At this time, the white pigeon's legs were tied with red cloth!
"Both feet tied with cloth, what does that mean?" The city guard had a bad feeling.

Captain Hu also knew something was wrong, he didn't dare to delay, and said tremblingly: "I don't know what the team members really mean, but he tied his feet, probably because he felt that the situation on the front line was more serious than the red cloth situation I expected. Times!"

As soon as Captain Hu said this, the soldiers on the field stared blankly!

"Quickly, mobilize everyone to stand up and wear armor. Everyone, follow me to the watchtower at the top of the city to guard!"

The city guard knew that something was wrong, so he gave orders repeatedly.

Everyone who was supposed to do business hurriedly ran out of the hall to do business, while the rest looked at Su Chen with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Especially the scout captain.

He couldn't believe where Su Chen got the information from.

"What does the double red cloth mean? Could it be that the people I sent out made a mistake in a hurry?"

The scout captain still struggled in his heart, but the others had already believed it eight or nine points at this time.

Just as everyone left the meeting room and was about to go to the watchtower on the city wall to guard, suddenly there was a slight and continuous shock on the ground.

One of the generals had a solemn expression upon hearing this.

He immediately fell to the ground and put his ear to the ground.

This is a common technique used in the military to hear movement in the distance more accurately.

The general in front of him is even better at this. He can hear the enemy's soldiers, horses and armaments by ear.

"It's the sound of a large herd of horses running, it's really Mongolian cavalry!"

The general who fell down jumped up and said with a serious face.

This person's listening skills were recognized by everyone present, and with the testimony of this person's words, the generals of the city guard in the field were convinced of Su Chen's warning.

The scout captain also had to admit the fact, and looked embarrassed when he looked at Su Chen.

If Su Chen hadn't come to warn him, by the time his scout team found out the problem, the enemy might have already arrived in front of the city gate!

"Don't be ashamed, I'm not as good as you are."

Su Chen noticed the shameful gaze of the other party, stepped forward, and patted the other party's shoulder to express comfort.

This is not Su Chen's pretense, after all, he is a time traveler and can recite the major events of the next ten years one by one.

No one can match this kind of prophetic ability.

Hearing Su Chen's comfort, the bearded captain was grateful, but felt something was wrong.

Why do you feel that this kid's words are meant to be mocking?The scout captain muttered to himself.

No matter what, the people in the field have now been convinced by Su Chen's precise information.

The city guard walked up to Su Chen, cupped his hands and apologized, "Young man, we doubted you a lot just now, but this is also our duty."

Soldiers are also human beings, and they also need to rest.

If sleep is disturbed at night, the enemy does not appear.After being tortured like this several times, when the enemy really appears, they are not physically strong enough to die?

After the city guard said something to Su Chen, the rest of the generals also looked at Su Chen with grateful eyes.

Fortunately, they woke up half the people early, and now it is much easier for the half to wake the others.

"Don't be too polite, let's deal with the immediate crisis first."

Su Chen said modestly.

Everyone nodded after hearing the words, and they respected Su Chen even more.

They began to think about countermeasures.

Even with Su Chen's early warning, the problems facing Fengcheng are still serious.

The general who had just heard the sound of the enemy leaned down again and put his ear on the ground to confirm the sound of the enemy's movement.

He listened for a long time this time, got up and said solemnly: "Judging from the sound of the horseshoes, the enemy should be two or three miles away from Fengcheng, and they will reach it in about a cup of tea."

"Judging from the sound of horseshoes, there are more than [-] cavalry outside the city, and the infantry is unknown for the time being. I also heard the dull sound of heavy weapons moving."

The faces of everyone became ugly.

Their Fengcheng is a small city, and the city wall is made of mud, which cannot withstand the enemy's siege weapons at all.

Moreover, their city walls are too short, and they still have a slight advantage when facing a small group of enemies. The enemy army in front of them has well-organized cavalry and heavy siege equipment.

As long as they get close, the earthen walls of Fengcheng will be easily demolished.

Fengcheng, I can't hold it!
"Let the crossbowmen get ready on the wall, and never let the enemy approach. No matter what, Fengcheng must be defended!"

The city guard gave an order.

In fact, even if he didn't say anything, everyone would understand that Fengcheng is a frontier town, isolated on the border plain.

Even if they abandon the city and flee, there is no danger behind them.Running to the plains would only become the prey of the opponent's cavalry, and the death would only be worse.

On the grassland, the Mongolian cavalry is invincible, this is not empty talk.

For the current plan, we can only use the weak geographical advantage of the earthen city wall to block the enemy troops outside the city wall with bows and crossbows.

If there is a hand-to-hand battle, the city wall will collapse, and Fengcheng will be defeated!
