"Sir, it's getting cold again." Wang Pohu, the captain of the soldiers chosen by China, said with concern, "Please add some clothes as a reward, but be sure not to freeze."

"It doesn't matter, the cold is nothing." Hua Xia said, "Our weather in Ningbo is almost cold."

But that's what he said, but when he walked to the Suishui River and was blown by the cold wind, Hua Xia still shrank his neck. It was really cold, and the northwest wind was like a knife, which hurt people's faces.

"Has the ice been knocked?" Hua Xia asked as he walked.

"Knock it on." Wang Pohu nodded and said, "It's a lot thicker, so a carriage weighing more than a thousand kilograms can cross the river without any problem."

"Is the ice layer already so thick?" Hua Xia frowned immediately, because Suining County is close to the south bank of Suishui River, and Suishui River is the moat of Suining County City. Now that Suishui River is frozen so thickly, it is equivalent to no moat.

Protect.

But fortunately, there are six layers of more than one hundred muskets surrounding Suining County. Even if the slave-building army arrives, it will not be easy to advance to Suining County in a short time.

After a pause, Hua Xia asked again: "Has the third batch of spears from the arsenal been delivered?"

"Just arrived." Wang Pohu nodded and said, "We have already counted them. There are three thousand spears in total, but they are only spears with bamboo poles. They say they don't have that much iron wood."

"Bamboo poles are just bamboo poles. It's better than nothing."

While the two were talking, they had already walked to a gun stand.

I saw groups of local heroes entering the gun platform from the entrance.

These village warriors, either one person or two people, carried buckets of dung, bags of quicklime and several large iron pots into the gun platform.

Outside the cannon platform, there are Xiangyong who are building fishing nets.

Seeing Hua Xia coming, Xiang Yong stood up and greeted him one after another.

Hua Xia bowed in return, squatted down and picked up a knotted fishing net, and pulled it hard. As a result, his finger joints turned white, but the ramie fishing net remained intact.

"Don't worry, sir." A simple and honest country man said, "The ramie fishing net is still secure."

"Well, it's better to be more secure." Hua Xia nodded, "If it's not secure enough, then we won't be able to catch the slaves."

As soon as Hua Xia finished speaking, a warrior on the gun platform suddenly pointed his finger to the northwest and shouted: "Look, my lord, the smoke! The smoke is rising from the northwest!"

Hua Xia suddenly turned around and saw smoke rising from the northwest.

In order to allow the people outside the county town time to enter the county town and take refuge, Hua Xia specially sent people to build beacon towers in all directions. Once an army of slave builders invaded the country, beacons were lit during the day and beacon fires were lit at night.

Now the smoke is rising, which means that Jian Nu is coming to kill Suining.

"Quick!" Huaxia became nervous instantly and shouted, "The garrison teams from each gun station immediately entered their respective gun stations, set up large pots to boil the golden juice, and the rural warriors who were left behind in the county quickly went to evacuate the people!"

"All the people must enter the city within an hour!"

The farthest beacon tower is about forty miles away from Suining County.

It would take an hour and a half at the fastest for the Jiannu army to arrive.
