"Oh, so I am the supreme commander of this Southern Legion? The entire military force in the south has to listen to me now?"

Zhao Hu smiled. He was worried that he would send troops to occupy the two counties of Tie Tower and Saterdo without authorization to understand that the reputation was not right. Who knew that someone had just wanted to sleep when someone sent a pillow. He immediately stood up excitedly and said to Starn, who was temporarily clerk: "Immediately issue an investigation order to investigate all the Tie Tower and Saterdo's land. All those who had lords fled in accordance with the Imperial Wartime Act, the land belongs to the Empire and is unified and dispatched by the Southern Legion!

"All nobles have to pay the auxiliary defense fee. If they don't have money, they will use the food to get the limit. If one child is missing, I will let the Kazakhs go to his house to move themselves!"

"All northern refugees who fled to the deserted lands of Satdo and Tieta, and farming tools are distributed. This year, only one-third of the products are paid, and more work is paid!"

"Cancel the passerby tax cards of Satterdo, Tower and Falcon, and collect taxes based on the goods transaction payment. The Southern Army encourages merchants to establish trade stations in three areas. Those with superior conditions can provide certain financial support!"

Messengers carrying the latest legion laws and notices were constantly sent from the Iron Tower Fortress, like spring thunders shaking the dormant nobles in the south.

The moat outside the Tower Fortress has soared due to the heavy rainstorm over the past few days. The rapid current has spread to the nearby river beaches, forming a large muddy swamp in front of the Tower Fortress.

“This weather is so fucking good!”

Zhao Hu stood at the head of the Iron Tower Fortress with Tielong's company. He looked at the moat under the fortress with heavy rain. He suddenly untied his pants and stood on the head of the city and sprinkled with long peeing outside the city. Tielong next to him was stunned, "Where is Zhao Hu playing like this?"

"I don't understand, I'm asking me to stand on the top of the city and pee in the wind. I'm a pure man!"

Regarding Zhao Hu's ridiculous behavior of peeing on the top of the city, the Tielong, who was standing next to him, rolled his eyes unanimously. Zhao Hu's crazy Tielong has been no longer surprised by this period.

In the past half month, the Iron Tower Fortress has been tortured by Zhao Hu, who is afraid of death.

In order to avoid being attacked by the Kazakhs, Zhao Hu, who was afraid of death, not only arranged three ditches of one meter wide and two meters deep in front of the city wall, tall triangular wooden tips were erected in front of each pit to prevent the siege equipment from approaching.

More than a dozen large pots were set up at the widened battlement of the city wall, filled with Zhao Hu, who specially asked Mengda to transport a large amount of black crude oil from the mountainous areas in his Falcon Territory, and could be poured into the deep pits under the city wall at any time to build three firewall belts.

The city gate walkway was newly reinforced with large hard bluestone strips, and fist-sized spear piercing holes were re-arranged on both sides of the thirteen-meter-long city gate walkway, making an ordinary city gate walkway full of murderous intent.

These are nothing. Zhao Hu also piled up three walls on the back of the city gate corridor, with a recessed wall of more than 20 meters long, and connected with the main wall of the castle with wooden boards. Even if the enemy breaks through the first city gate, he will be blocked by this recessed wall and fall into a desperate situation where there are guns on his side and arrows on his head.

In the end, even if the notch is broken, as long as the wooden board connected to the city walls on both sides is removed, the enemy can only stand on the notch and stare dryly.

It turned out that the narrow city wall passage that only passes by single people was also greatly widened, and two war horses could even be passed along side by side at the same time. Cavalry troops could be organized to rush up to the city wall for support at any time.

The other people were so upset that they saw these unprecedented defensive measures that they secretly rejoiced that they were not an enemy who needed to attack the fortress, otherwise a squad of thousands of people would throw in and they would be gone without even a bang.

A large number of defensive resources such as arrowheads, shields, weapons are constantly transported from the Falcon Territory to the Tower Fortress. Every day, there are endless transportation carriages between the Falcon Territory and the Fortress. Zhao Hu means building the Tower Fortress into an undivorced city.

"What's this?"

The Iron Dragon was stunned when he looked at the strange weapons in the hands of the guard soldiers. This one-meter-long wooden-handled bow and arrow launcher was a new weapon just transported from the Falcon Territory. Zhao Hu called it a strange longbow with a long wooden handle on the crossbow.

It is said that it was created by Zhao Hu before leaving from the Falcon Territory and asked the craftsmen in the territory to follow the drawings.

"This is a good thing! If the Kazakhs come to our Iron Tower again, I will use this to greet them well and let them know that the proud Kazakh strong bow in front of the Tiger Master is not a bullshit." Zhao Hu patted Tielong's shoulder with a proud look on his face.

"Swoosh!"

A short feather crossbow arrow was nailed to the cavalry mail on the wooden stake two hundred steps away. The strong penetration power was easily nailed into the wooden stake about an inch like tearing a thin piece of paper. If there was a human body below, I was afraid that it could penetrate straight into the arrow feather.

When the Iron Dragon saw a soldier who had trained a little, he could easily shoot through the light mail of a cavalry two hundred steps away with a light mail, his face turned slightly blue, and the Kazakhs' strong bow could only reach a distance of 150 steps, and this thing was afraid that it could shoot at least 250 steps.

As a soldier born in a knight, Iron Dragon had to think that if this weapon of destruction was used on a large scale, the ultra-long-range strike ability that swept everything could easily wipe out the entire Knights that launched the charge.

The tragic situation of being shot like a hornet's nest stimulated the Iron Dragon's nerves, and seemed to remind him of the scene of his subordinates being surrounded and annihilated by the Kazakhs, and cold sweat broke out behind him.

As a reward for Zhao Hu's reorganization of the Southern Legion out of his own pocket, the hunter leader Mengda has been officially appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs as the commander of the Eighth Banner Regiment of the Southern Legion, Starn serves as the commander of the Sixth Banner Regiment, and the middle-aged monster knight Iron Dragon was appointed as the commander of the guard directly under the Southern Legion.

After more than three months of full preparations, under the feeding of millions of property buried by the Kazakhs and millions of stone of auxiliary defense grain paid by the southern nobles, Zhao Hu's southern army removed 6,000 combat personnel and nearly 3,000 engineer and logistics personnel. Zhao Hu's army was about to break through the 10,000 mark and became an important military force to dominate the south and rule the three counties.

What Zhao Hu wanted to do most now is to let the Kazakhs and the great nobles in the north continue to get entangled, and to buy time for himself to digest the land of the two counties, and to delay until this year's autumn harvest.

With enough food security, the migrant refugees can settle in the two counties. At that time, even if the empire wants to drive it away, they can only stare at it.

Otherwise, once you collect the food yourself, pat your butt and leave, the empire will have to pay for the tens of thousands of refugees on its own, which is simply impossible for the severely damaged empire finances.

The busy March is cooler in April.

But for Zhao Hu, who was defending the tower, it was really hot. The Kazakh Rangers, who had been extinct for two months, appeared faintly opposite the tower fortress, and even touched the moat of the tower several times.

That arrogant and domineering look is more of a demonstration than a reconnaissance.

If Zhao Hu had not ordered the use of crossbows at will, the defending soldiers would have shot these bold scouts off the horse. Seeing that there was no movement in the tower fortress, the Kazakhs were getting louder and louder.

Yesterday, the front outpost reported that a team of about 5,000 Kazakh light cavalry troops entered the town of Hittaru opposite the tower and were stationed, staring at the tower fortress opposite, and they were in a great momentum to break the fortress again.

In the early morning, the cold stars were hanging high, the pale moonlight had not disappeared, and the blazing bonfire shone the hall of the tower red.

Zhao Hu, who should have dreamed on the bed, was sitting in the hall of the Iron Tower Fortress. His eyes were twitching, which showed that Zhao Hu was extremely unhappy now, and was depressed and urged to chop people.

In the middle of the night last night, Mengda, who was on the city wall, rushed into Zhao Hu's bedroom and reported that a team of 200 Kazakh cavalry blatantly took advantage of the night to start camping under the Iron Tower City. Judging from the military flags erected in the camp, it may be the famous Kazakh royal guards.

Zhao Hu whispered: "What do you think these Kazakhs want to do? They ran to squat in the corner of others in the middle of the night?"

"This time the Kazakhs are coming fiercely. I think no matter what they want to do, we just need to strengthen the defense of the castle! As long as we seize the opportunity, we can easily kill all the two hundred Kazakhs outside the city."

Starn is still the same despicable person who likes to engage in defensive counterattacks. Because this guy was escorting supplies from the rear, he did not participate in the mountain road annihilation battle. Since one of his legs was shot by the Kazakhs, he was inevitably afraid of the Kazakhs' strong bow.

"The Kazakhs came this time. First, they sent a large number of scouts to conduct close-range investigations on us, and then a main force team moved into the town opposite us. Now they sent people to our city directly, which shows that the Kazakhs are very interesting to us!" said the guard captain Tielong.

"Interesting? I'm fucking talking about love with the Kazakhs!" Zhao Hu heard Tielong say a lot of words like this, and came to a "interesting" conclusion and almost stood up from his seat in anger.

"Sir, it's not interesting. I mean it's very interesting to us!" Tielong said stubbornly.

"What is interesting? Can you explain it clearly? We are all rough and understand where we can understand it." Seeing Tielong looking like he was eager to speak, Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask curiously.
