With the size of the nine-die city, even if you are not satisfied with the city wall, how can you defend it? What's more, among the more than 10,000 defenders, they are generally new recruits, and their combat effectiveness is completely unimaginable.

"There is no way, there are only ten thousand soldiers, and it was pieced together later... I was ready to retreat, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect you to come back alive!"

Yao Qiang looked at Qin Shaofu in front of him and was very surprised. The assassination on the land of Liaodong shocked the world. Qin Shaofu was kidnapped by unknown people, and the court still has no explanation.

After the Battle of Luhe Valley, he also became famous and gained a lot of contributions to officially embark on the career path.

Now he is a feudal general, a fifth-ranked military officer, transferred by Huangfu Changqing to take charge of the military affairs of Jiuding City a year ago. It can be said that if Qin Shaofu did not come back, he had the final say in Jiuding City at this time, even the governor Bai, who is the fourth-ranked governor, had to listen.

It's also a blessing that he is here, otherwise Qin Shaofu would not be able to control Jiuding City so quickly without any tokens.

"Nothing unexpected!" Qin Shaofu said: "My life is very tough! Now is not the time to discuss this. The number of people from the northern nomadic people is estimated to be 350,000. Although many people are restrained in Tongling Pass, I believe they will come to Jiuding City soon."

"I want some constructive opinions... You must not mention abandoning the city and running away. This is my only fiefdom. If all this is lost, how can you see people? And what I can tell you is that once the nomadic people occupy Jiuding City, it will definitely be a disaster for the Great Han Dynasty, and it will even become a fatal blow."

All parties were restrained, and the nomadic peoples were like a sharp sword hanging above the head of the Great Cold. There was no danger to defend the Jibei Plain. Nomadic peoples with supplies and retreat would burst out with unimaginable combat power... and even went straight to Huanglong and rushed to the capital.

Yao Qiang shook his head: "I really can't think of any constructive opinions. In order to curb King Xia, the Great Han Dynasty has intentionally led the people of the Jibei Plain to the south. It is already quite difficult for me to gather these ten thousand troops... Actually..."

He opened his mouth and stopped talking, but finally didn't say it.

"Actually, His Majesty the Emperor is not at ease with me in ruling Jiuding City, right?"

Qin Shaofu said his words but stopped: "This is not something that is hard to say. There is no emperor in the world who will be assured of the chief officials of the border. I just do what I think I should do. Look there..."

Pointing ahead, there was the huge bronze tripod.

"Do you know? This tripod is the tripod cast by Emperor Dayu back then, representing the glory of our descendants of Yan and Huang. If we withdraw, this tripod will fall into the hands of the nomadic peoples. If you also regard yourself as a hero, what kind of face will you have to live in the future?"

Yao Qiang was solemn and nodded again: "I understand. Although the chance of success is very small, I will do my best. I applied to the court for the allocation of troops a long time ago, but unfortunately I was rejected... Because there are constant wars everywhere, I need to be ready to support other places at any time."

"But the imperial court still approved a large number of gunpowder flying stones from the Tianji Camp, which can be used to defend the city. Calculate the time and should be able to arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Gunpowder Flying Stone?" Qin Shaofu raised his eyebrows: "Tianji Camp, is there such a place?"

Yao Qiang hurriedly explained: "This Tianji Camp was established by His Majesty the Emperor. Master Yun Mozi of Langshan and his branch disciples were invited to be responsible for the production of special weapons."

It was actually Yun Mozi's work. Qin Shaofu suddenly became interested and asked, "How many are there?"

In the Battle of Lu River Valley, if Luo Dahui had not prepared gunpowder in advance, he would have been unable to succeed. If the amount was enough this time, it would have been possible that he would have made great achievements.

"Two thousand thunders on the sky!" Yao Qiang said: "This thing is too expensive, and there are not too many Tianji Camp. It is said that it has been transferred halfway through this time."

"Two thousand!" Qin Shaofu frowned slightly: "Have you seen how powerful the sky thunder is?"

"The former was half the power, but now it has been improved by Yun Mozi, and it is very powerful!" Yao Qiang said: "It only takes forty pieces, and it should be able to turn the palace into ruins."

If so, the power is really great... But Qin Shaofu was thinking about another thing.

Nomads are not idiots. They cannot stand like a palace, and let themselves explode. The number of two thousand seems to be a lot, but when it is really used, it is to use one less. If you make a full calculation, two thousand thunders can kill 100,000 nomad soldiers and horses, which is quite good.

"Why!"

Yao Qiang suddenly sighed again: "There is another very troublesome thing. The Thunder in the Sky seems easy to use, but if it is not a person who has been trained, it is easy to panic when he suddenly encounters that kind of thing. Even if it does not cause self-destruction, the effect will probably be limited."

It really hurts... Qin Shaofu suddenly felt that if he just used the Sky Thunder normally, he would probably not be able to defend Jiuding City and he needed to think of a solution.

He sat down aside, closed his eyes, and his head kept flashing everything about the Jibei Plain, as well as the information about the nomadic people he knew, and wanted to find a place to break through the middle.

But how could this breakthrough point be easily found? He thought about many things but had no choice.

The huge gap in military strength is too great. He did not plant the seeds of fear in the body of the second prince of the nomad, so he could not affect him at all...

The normal method doesn't work, so try it from other directions.

Qin Shaofu spread his thinking to the extreme, and he could not get any results from various angles. Every time there was a little sign, he would be immediately rejected by reality.

Gradually, everything between Jiuding City and Tongling Pass became numbers.

Distance, forage, seasons, climate... everything was demonstrated in his mind, reasoning about all possible situations.

Gradually, not only the dead objects, but also the people and the army became numbers in his mind, used to analyze the maximum combat power and minimum defense level that Jiuding City could achieve.

After thinking so deeply, it took a whole night, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that I finally made a decision and asked someone to call Yao Qiang in.

Seeing that Qin Shaofu's eyebrows seemed to be relaxed, Yao Qiang hurriedly asked: "Did Uncle Dingyuan think of a solution?"

"That's right!"

Qin Shaofu nodded: "Xinying of the nomadic people is heading south to investigate the news. Once it is found out, the army will inevitably come. I will find a way to stop Xinying, and the matter in the city will be handed over to you."

Yao Qiang hurriedly said, "Please tell me if you are the one who is Dingyuan!"

"You first transfer your most direct troops out separately, about 3,000, divided into 500 people, and leave the city from the South Gate every night, and enter the city around the northeast, northwest and northwest during the day."

"Then the soldiers and horses in the city are divided into one thousand men and dig tunnels in the city overnight, and they are going to prepare for street fighting with the nomadic peoples at that time."

"Call the people and collect the timber and oil in the city and keep it as a guard..."
