Returning to the mountain pass, Ye Changan found that Sun Xiaoyan had been tied to a big tree by soldiers, and hundreds of people under him were also squatting on the ground, trembling.

Hou Qingyun held the spear and stepped forward and kicked Sun Xiaoyan in the stomach.

"This is the easiest place to be breached, Lao Tzu asked you to build the city wall, that's how you built it?"

Sun Xiaoyan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale, "My lord, I... I handed over the task of repairing the city wall to Centurion Ye Chang'an. ”

Ye Changan: "···"

Sun Xiaoyan's face was full of bitterness, although Ye Changan was most likely the person on the emperor's side, but now, it was still important to save his life, this pot must be shared.

Hou Qingyun is the master of killing people at every turn, in the past few years, there have been three centurions killed by him, and even more centurions.

Ye Changan glanced at Sun Xiaoyan, "Master Sun, you can't talk nonsense, I've only been here for a few days." ”

Hou Qingyun's eyes were bloodshot, his palms clenched the spear, and he kicked Sun Xiaoyan again.

"And what about the guards you put here?"

Sun Xiaoyan coughed and spit out a mouthful of blood:

"The walls in other places have just been built, and there are not enough laborers, so the walls here have only started a few days ago. ”

"There are more than 800 people under my command, and they are scattered on the city wall, and they can't muster any manpower. ”

Ye Changan was about to laugh angrily when he stood aside, and he couldn't wait to pull out his knife and hack this shameless Sun Xiaoyan to death now.

Hou Qingyun lifted his spear and stabbed at Sun Xiaoyankou, but he paused.

"If it weren't for the employment of people, I would have killed you on the spot!"

As he spoke, Hou Qingyun turned his head to look at Ye Changan, frowned, and said, "Even if the city wall here is established, there is a great chance of being attacked by the barbarians. ”

"But there is a plain on the other side of Luoxiapo, which is more vulnerable to the barbarian army, and my ten thousand men must be stationed there. ”

Hou Qingyun sighed, "Several other captains have their own defense areas, and they can't spare manpower. ”

Ye Changan let out an 'oh', "What do you mean by this, my lord?"

Hou Qingyun frowned, "I don't like to play dumb riddles, and I don't care what His Majesty asks you to do." ”

"But these dozens of Silver Dragon Guards under your command are very strong in combat, and I will send you another two hundred people," Hou Qingyun paused, "You have made a contribution in this battle, I will be the commander of your thousand, you must defend here!"

"With less than three hundred people, can you be called a thousand-commander?" Ye Changan complained for a while, but he had no choice but to say: "Can I recruit those laborers as soldiers?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Hou Qingyun's eyes, "They will only drag their feet in the battle, you..."

"Don't worry, my lord, I have my own plans. ”

"Whatever you want," Hou Qingyun immediately ordered two hundred soldiers, handed them to Ye Changan, and then rushed to Luoxiapo with the rest of the soldiers.

He was right, there was a plain in front of Luoxiapo, and it would not be good for anyone to fight, but the barbarian quality was slightly better, and if it was a big war involving tens of thousands of people, they would definitely choose to fight there.

Of course, the col that Ye Changan is responsible for is also likely to be attacked.

An attack by tens of thousands of people is unlikely, but an attack of less than 10,000 people is highly likely.

Looking at the two hundred soldiers who remained, Ye Changan frowned, and asked the five black skins to take away forty each, still maintaining the establishment of five squads.

"My lord, can we really hold this place?"

Heipi has followed Ye Changan for the past two days, and unconsciously has talked more.

Ye Changan's eyes were calm, "What do you think?"

Heipi looked at the surrounding terrain and frowned, "If there is no city wall in this mountain col, we alone will not be able to resist it with less than three hundred people. ”

"In addition, even if the city wall is built, we will hold out for half an hour at most, if Sun Xiaoyan and Hou Qingyun don't support in time, I'm afraid..."

Ye Changan nodded, stood up and walked to the middle of the col, glanced at the workers who were building the city wall, and said softly: "We can't keep it, but we can let other things help us guard it!"

Heipi frowned, and his dark skin shone with a layer of oil in the sun, "What do you mean?"

Ye Changan smiled mysteriously, "You follow Hou Qingyun to Luoxiapo for a trip and talk to him..."

"So, so, so... Do you hear me?"

Heipi's eyes lit up, "My lord is very scheming, in this way, if the barbarians attack, it will definitely be a heavy loss!"

"Don't shoot the horse, hurry up and do it!"

Heipi nodded, and then ran in the direction of Luoxia Slope.

Seeing that the other silver dragon guards and soldiers had nothing to do, Ye Changan rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Don't rest, build the city wall together!"

A group of workers were stunned, "My lord, I can't help it, it's hard work, just let us do it." ”

Ye Changan waved his hand, picked up a piece of freshly mined obsidian, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your wages will not be less." ”

"Come on, finish the city wall, I have other things to tell you!"

Five days later.

Black Leather led hundreds of soldiers and carried a hundred pairs of wooden boxes to the mountain pass.

The boxes were covered with a black cloth, and it was not clear what was inside.

With the help of the soldiers, the construction of the walls was much faster.

Considering the special nature of this place, Ye Changan also asked for the city wall to be heightened and thickened.

The walls were connected to the already built walls at one end and to a mountain range of unusually high and steep at the other.

Every day, soldiers came to the col with chests, and thousands of wooden chests were already placed on the newly built walls.

At Ye Changan's request, more than 100 workers also put on the rattan armor that they had peeled off from the barbarians in the last battle and took the scimitar.

It's just that they are extremely thin and weak, and although they have eaten well recently, it will take some time to form combat effectiveness.

However, it was enough, Ye Changan had no intention of using them on the frontal battlefield.

If the black skin is the 'main force' under Ye Changan, then this group of workers is the 'militia'.

Two days ago, I heard that the construction of the city wall was completed, and Hou Qingyun personally came to inspect it, and when he saw the higher and thicker city wall, Hou Qingyun said with satisfaction, "You are much better than Sun Xiaoyan's bastard." ’

Speaking of Sun Xiaoyan, he has been honest recently, and he takes soldiers to patrol the city wall all day long, checking whether the city wall is damaged, but he never comes to the mountain pass.

There is no way, Ye Changan is suspected of being a 'personal soldier of the emperor', and Sun Xiaoyan does not dare to take the initiative to come over and feel uncomfortable.

Or maybe it was the last time that he shirked the responsibility to Ye Changan, Sun Xiaoyan was afraid that Ye Changan would blame him, and some of the wine allocated to him during this time was taken out and sent to the mountain col.

As a result, the soldiers and workers under Ye Changan, the commander of a thousand soldiers, became the group of people with the best food here.

After a month, Yinlongwei and Ye Changan finally regained their original sturdy appearance, and a group of workers also became a lot stronger.

Suddenly, on a hill two miles away, thick smoke suddenly rose from the city wall.

Sun Dabao, the captain of the 'militia', had a tense face, and hurriedly rushed into the tent to wake up Ye Changan, who was purging and cultivating.

"My lord, it's not good, the wolf smoke is everywhere, and there is a big battle on the side of Luoxiapo, at least a big battle with tens of thousands of people participating!"

Ye Changan slowly opened his eyes, suppressed his weak internal force, and walked out of the tent and shouted:

"All go up to the city wall and listen to my orders!"

Blackskin's face was full of doubts, "My lord, aren't we going to help?"

Ye Changan nodded, "Tens of thousands of people are fighting, naturally there are other commanders to support, our task is to guard this mountain col and not allow any barbarians to cross the city wall!"

"Do you think that the barbarians will divide their troops into two ways?"

"Not sure, just in case," Ye Chang'an's eyes lit up, and he swept his eyes at the dense forest below the mountain pass, "Heipi, you say, why do the barbarians want to be in Wuwei Country now?"

Heipi tightened his armor and said in a deep voice: "The battle with the barbarians has been going on for hundreds of years, and the barbarian territory is poor, so they naturally want to find a way to invade this fertile land. ”

Ye Changan nodded and looked at the militia captain Sun Dabao, "You take the workers to hide first, don't show up." ”

Half a year later, Ye Changan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze fell on the foot of the mountain, where a team had already drilled into the dense forest and rushed towards the slope quickly.

Blackskin's face was full of excitement, "My lord, those boxes?"

"Don't worry, wait until they get close to the city wall," Ye Changan clenched the long knife in his hand, and continued: "Pass the order, everyone don't show their heads first, beware of barbarians using bows and arrows." ”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, the noise finally came, and the dense barbarians had already dispersed on the hillside, rushing towards the city wall at a rapid pace, and judging by the number of people, there were no less than ten thousand.

The distance is already less than fifty meters.

Ye Changan's eyes lit up, "It's now, let me go!"

In an instant, the soldiers hidden on the city wall lifted the black cloth one after another, opened the lock of the wooden box, directly lifted the wooden box above their heads, and threw it down the city wall.

When the barbarian saw so many wooden boxes smashed over, he didn't dodge, but grabbed his head and crashed into the wooden boxes.

It's a pity that the real weapon is not a wooden box, but what is in a wooden box.

Poisonous snakes rolled out of the box, and in just one moment, hundreds of people were bitten by poisonous snakes.

You must know that there are ten poisonous snakes in each box, a total of more than a thousand boxes, a total of tens of thousands of poisonous snakes.

This is what Hou Qingyun specially sent soldiers who are good at catching snakes to go to the surrounding mountains and forests for more than half a month with thousands of soldiers.

"Ah~~"

The barbarian ranks kept screaming, this poisonous snake was fierce, poisonous and strong, and thousands of people had been brought down at this time.

The barbarian finally came to his senses, and a rain of arrows rained down on the city wall.

But Ye Changan and the others were sitting on the ground and didn't show their heads at all.

"Ding!"

Ye Changan turned his head to see that an iron claw had already buckled the city wall, and when he looked sideways, many barbarians were grabbing the rope and climbing quickly towards the city wall.

On the hillside, many people raised their bows and crossbows while dodging poisonous snakes, and aimed at the head of the city.

Ye Changan frowned, "Yinlongwei prepares, come up and cut one by one, don't hack to death, just get seriously injured, and then throw them all down for me!"

"Yes!"

Finally, the first barbarian turned over, and he was greeted by a knife cut by the black skin.

The knife struck the barbarian directly, and then Blackskin kicked him hard, kicking him out of the way, and knocking down several barbarians when he landed.

At the foot of the mountain, a barbarian with an unusually tall timber and long braids, with a fierce face, held two scimitars, and his eyes were red with anger.

On his side, there is also a man and a woman, and the aura emanating from them is similar to Sun Xiaoyan, and they should both have four-star combat power.

"General, give the order to retreat!"

"Yes, General, we have suffered too many casualties!"

The man with the twin swords rushed up the hillside, "Follow me, rush up and kill the people on the city wall, and we can break through this mountain pass!"

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Ye Changan, who was secretly observing.

Judging by the speed and dress of those three people, you can know that they are the commanders of this barbarian army.

Getting closer and closer, feeling the momentum emanating from the three of them, Heipi said anxiously: "My lord, you withdraw first, and we will follow!"

"Retreat?"

Ye Changan shook his head, suddenly stood up and shouted: "Barbarians, stop, I have your hostages in my hands, three thousand people, don't you want it?"

As soon as he heard this, the arrows that kept coming from below finally stopped, but there was still one coming towards Ye Chang'an's mouth.

Hei Pi slammed Ye Changan away and blocked the arrow with his shoulder.

Ye Changan patted Heipi's shoulder and continued to say to the barbarians under the city wall: "Which of you is the leader, come out and talk." ”

The blood-red-eyed barbarian commander stomped a poisonous snake to pieces with one kick, pointed his scimitar at the city wall, and roared: "Lao Tzu's name is Tuoba Kun, who are you? What else is there to talk about killing so many of my soldiers?"

Ye Changan waved backwards, and saw the soldiers standing up with the 'workers' wearing rattan armor.

Ye Changan shouted: "A month ago, five thousand of you entered the border of Wuwei Kingdom while the city wall had not yet been built. I've all caught them!"

"Five thousand people," Ye Changan raised five fingers and said with a smile: "If you continue to attack, I will kill them all!"

Tuoba Kun raised his foot and trampled a poisonous snake to death again, and looked at the more than 2,000 people who had fallen on the hillside, and his eyes were split.

"You're lying to me, boy, you only have 200 men, how can you take care of 3,000 people!"

Ye Changan shook his head with a smile, and looked at Tuoba Kun's eyes condescendingly, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am Hou Qingyun's subordinate to Captain Wan, and Commander Sun Xiaoyan." ”
