Zhu Xiong was vigorously building the new city.
Meanwhile, in the Starting City, a storm descended at the same time.
Lan Yu led 200,000 soldiers and used half a month to arrive at Da Tong.
After that, Lan Yu did not stop at Da Tong. She led 200,000 soldiers from the capital and 300,000 soldiers from the border that had already gathered in Da Tong. They left Da Tong and headed straight for Initial City.
At the same time, Song Sheng in the northwest had also received Blue Jade's orders. He led the 150,000 strong army from the northwest and set off towards the Initial City.
Lan Yu and Song Sheng attacked from the east and west, their total strength reaching 650,000.
At this moment, the leader of the twelve female generals of the Yang Sect, She Saihua, was in charge of the city.
She Saihua had the most prestige among the female generals of the Yang Sect. Although all the female generals of the Yang Sect had become young women, their seniority was still there.
Because of this, after Zhu Rong left, he handed the defense of the Starting City to She Saihua.
She Saihua led the female generals of the Yang Family to camp in the Eight Great David Cities.
She Saihua was naturally the first to receive news of the Ming army's attack.
She immediately summoned all the citizens who were busy outside the Starting City back to the Starting City. At the same time, she immediately sent a message to Zhu Rong.
Moreover, he urgently summoned the female generals of the Yang Sect for an emergency meeting.
In the meeting hall of the Starting City.
Twelve female generals of the Yang Family were gathered here.
She Saihua sat on the main seat and glanced at the female generals. She said calmly,
"I believe you already know the news. The Southern Imperial Court is attacking, and there are armies approaching from both the east and west.”
"Now that His Highness is no longer around, we will have to face everything.”
"What suggestions do you have for the Ming army?”
Among the female generals, Meng Si 'niang, who had the fiercest temper, stood up and shouted,
"Mother, what else is there to suggest? These Ming soldiers have invaded our Initial City for no reason. Do they think that our Initial City is easy to bully? Let me lead my men into battle and let these Ming soldiers know the power of our Initial City!”
She Saihua glared at Meng Si 'niang and shouted,
"Sit down. You're so impulsive in everything you do. When will you change your personality?”
She Saihua looked at Mu Guiying and asked,
"Guiying, tell me what you think first.”
Among the female generals of the Yang Family, who was the most legendary, it was undoubtedly Mu Guiying.
Mu Guiying had been outstanding in martial arts since she was a child. She was smart and brave, and had outstanding leadership skills.
Among the female generals of the Yang Sect, she was definitely a top figure.
Hearing She Saihua's question, Mu Guiying quickly stood up and cupped her hands.
"Grandmother, the Ming court came in full force this time. It's obvious that they came prepared. We're new here and don't know the exact combat strength of the enemy.”
"It is not a wise move to attack rashly.”
"In my opinion, it is better to deal with all changes without changing anything. This Starting City is tall and thick, and it has the protection of the Eight Great David Cities.”
"Moreover, the weapons and equipment of our soldiers are mostly crossbows. It's not suitable for us to fight in such a terrain. It's better to defend the city and maximize our advantage.”
She Saihua nodded slightly in agreement with Mu Guiying.
She then looked at the other female generals and asked,
"Do you have any other suggestions?”
At this moment, the eighth sister, Yang Yanqi, spoke.
"Mother, Guiying is right. Before we figure out the enemy's situation, our best response is to stay put.”
"However, we can't just passively defend like this. Your daughter thinks that besides defending, it's best if we have people lead a hundred thousand soldiers and split them into several groups to hide outside the city.”
"I remember that His Highness told us that outside the city, His Highness had built a few weapon hiding caves. They were originally built to prevent his subjects from encountering danger.”
"Now we can completely make use of these Weapon Caves.”
She Saihua nodded slightly.
Defend internally and hide externally, both in case of emergency.
"Anything else?"
She Saihua continued to ask.
At this moment, Yang Paifeng walked out and said,"
"Mistress, I remember that His Highness said that during the second expansion of the Starting City, several secret tunnels were dug that led directly to the Armament Cave.”
She Saihua and Yang Yanqi's eyes lit up.
"Is that true?"
Yang Paifeng said with certainty,
"It's absolutely true. His Highness personally told this to Pifeng.”
She Saihua immediately smiled and said,
"It's best to have a secret passage. Eighth Sister, Paifeng, Golden Flower, each of you will lead 30,000 soldiers to the Armament Cave through the secret passage in case of emergency!”
Yang Bamei, Yang Paifeng, and Yang Jin Hua cupped their fists together and said,"
"Yes, sir!"
She Saihua then looked at Mu Guiying and said,
"Gui Ying, you have the strongest ability to arrange troops and formations. From now on, the defense of the entire Starting City will be handed over to you.”
Mu Guiying didn't refuse and nodded.
"Yes, Grandmother!"
After speaking, Mu Guiying walked to She Saihua's side and said in a deep voice,
"Generals, listen up!"
The female generals cupped their hands in unison and said,
"I'm here!"
Mu Guiying didn't waste any time and immediately made arrangements for everyone present, including She Saihua.
Under Mu Guiying's leadership, the entire Starting City began to operate.
At the same time, Blue Jade led an army of five hundred thousand and was less than a hundred miles away from Initial City.
Song Sheng's 150,000 strong army was also not far from Starting City.
