Chapter 1713

Night falls.

Most of the soldiers were arranged to rest.

The two-hundred-meter defensive line did not require many soldiers to guard it.

But for the sake of safety, four thousand soldiers were still dispatched to stand guard.

In fact, four thousand soldiers was an excessive number.

After all, this defensive line was too short, only two hundred meters; four thousand people were extremely crowded.

In the end, two thousand guarded, and two thousand were on standby to provide support or rotate shifts.

Ying Ying Zi Ye was quite at ease regarding this defensive project.

He also went off to sleep.

With so many people there, it was impossible for anything to go wrong.

At the same time, he also arranged for quite a few bonfires.

He had people use lamp oil and wood to light many bonfires on the perimeter.

If any infected came running over, at least they would be able to see them.

It wouldn't be a case of being unable to see anything once it got dark.

But the others did not understand this approach of his.

They thought it was a waste of lamp oil; after all, who knew when the infected would come?

If things went poorly, the firewood would be burned up without even seeing an infected, and that would be a waste of lamp oil.

But since His Highness ordered them to be burned, they dared not say much.

As a great general, Meng Tian's safety was closely tied to that of the soldiers.

He could not set his mind at ease, so he personally stood guard at the water channel defensive project.

Originally, Han Xin also wanted to stay behind.

But Meng Tian told him to go rest first, and they would guard in batches throughout the night.

Each person would guard half the night, so everyone could rest easy.

In the end, Han Xin also followed this decision and went off to rest.

If both of them stayed here without sleeping, then everyone would be spiritless tomorrow.

There were still many things to do tomorrow.

Meng Tian fetched a chair and sat within the soldiers' defensive line.

Several deputy generals also followed along.

The long night was endless; if the infected didn't come, they would be more relaxed.

Several people gathered around a table to drink tea and eat snacks.

If the infected didn't come, then it would be equivalent to them enjoying a pleasant night tea.

During this time, the deputy generals also discussed the current situation with Meng Tian.

They discussed what was needed to clear out all the infected.

Since they had already launched an attack, they could not let the infected reach the Great Qin territory.
