The Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty has long been dilapidated, but the image of the Great Wall as a defense against foreign enemies for the land of China is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It's just that due to the particularity of the Great Wall, people are very suspicious that it can form an imperial tool or a holy relic.

And after more than 200 years of searching, people have come to a negative conclusion.

However, there are some things in this world that do not mean they do not exist.

No one expected that Da Song ...... In other words, the Mohists have always kept the embodied "Great Wall" holy relics and used them at this most dangerous moment.

Blocking the whip of God? That's nothing, the appearance of the Great Wall, the real significance is to rekindle the morale of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and open the prelude to the counteroffensive of the Great Song Dynasty.

But in hindsight, the more important significance of the Great Wall was to buy time.

……

Back on April 25th, the day Liu Tian lost the northwest, because of this incident, Attila's eyes were attracted and he missed the opportunity to block the northward movement of a certain army - the people who uttered this shameless remark were later historians.

In fact, at noon on this day, Chen's army was intercepted by 100,000 Turkic troops, and after a short confrontation judged that they were invincible, they had to retreat and change the route of their march to the north.

Chen Duyun knew that even if the prophecy was true, the process would not be so smooth, but he didn't expect to be so unlucky, as soon as he came out, he met the main Turkic force going south, and what was even more tragic was that after they got rid of the Turks, the pursuing Mongolian wolf cavalry also arrived, and they fought for a while, and finally repelled the enemy, but they couldn't be happy.

Including the wounded, they only had more than 9,000 people left, and it was too late to calculate exactly how much, and the retreating Mongol army would definitely bring reinforcements soon.

"This is not the way to go, I suggest ambushing the enemy, with the goal of completely destroying the enemy!" Niu Gao suggested.

No matter how many times they repel the enemy, it is difficult to erase the exposed whereabouts, but one thing is certain: Gu Meng's reconnaissance ability is not excellent, even if they control the universe, they have not been able to turn it into surveillance, as long as they complete a total annihilation, they can fight for a glimmer of life.

Chen Duyun took Niu Gao's advice, so they found a suitable place to ambush - it is worth mentioning that after the terrain changed, the ancient Mongolian people themselves were also unfamiliar with it, and they had no intention of exploring.

What happened after that can be described as "perfect".

Taking advantage of the terrain and luring the enemy to pursue, Chen Duyun's army buried 5,000 Mongolian wolf horses in the valley, and then they went deep into the rugged mountain roads, tossed and turned in the swamps with poisonous gas, and came to the "former border area" of the Great Song Dynasty on the afternoon of the 26th. It's just that Chen Duyun didn't rush in, but led the army into a nearby dense forest.

"We have seven thousand six hundred and thirty-four left. The officer in charge of the count said, his face not to mention how ugly it was.

Others are not much better, because they have clearly realized that the road ahead is hopeless.

"Let's take a break. ”

Faced with such a scene, Chen Duyun also had to fall into confusion. The content of the prophecy had already upset him, not to mention the unsmooth march, and the scenes of his subordinates dying in battle appeared one after another in front of him, without despair and collapse, it can already be said that he is much more mature than before.

After receiving the order of the news, everyone immediately relaxed, no matter how elite they were, their spirit was on the verge of the extreme, and even now that they were told that the enemy was coming soon, they did not have the courage to resist.

Perhaps sensing the proximity of death, the remnants of the remnants of the elite who did not belong to the Yue family—there were less than a thousand of them left—were the first to begin to reminisce about the past, mixed with memories of their dead comrades and anger against the Gumeng people, but these gradually turned into lamentations as the narrative progressed.

“…… I think it's time for me to write a suicide note for myself, tsk, that bastard of Zhao San, he actually left a sentence and left, I have to write it for him!"

With the soldier's half-sad and half-abusive language, many people also spontaneously began to write suicide notes, and the more economically advanced ones also used gramophones or photos, of course, they didn't mind sharing them with their companions, but now they don't have the strength to get together to do this, and the last words are not to take a group photo, they just add to the sadness of the born.

Suddenly, a voice pierced the dreary atmosphere.

"What's wrong with all of you?!"

Chen Duyun looked up and found that it was the team leader named Ah Tu again, but the grief and anger on his face were obviously incompatible with the frustration around him.

"Have you all forgotten our goal?!"

His voice was loud, but it fell on the ears of the people around him, and he only felt a little harsh and bored.

"It's all this time, what else to say......"

"Why can't you say that?!" he interrupted the man, "haven't we always fought to clear our reputations?

He pointed to the north.

"I don't know anything else, I just know that we go there and come back with our heads up, so that we can teach those damned Gumeng people a hard lesson, we can be worthy of the dead brothers, and we are qualified to put the suicide note in our hands in the hands of the brothers' families and say the words 'they have fought hard'!"

Ah Tu was very angry, and he was very angry now, but he was actually tired, and he couldn't organize more reason, he was such a junior officer with little education—maybe not even an officer, because Chen Duyun found that his team members had disappeared.

No one opened their mouths to refute Ah Tu, not without reason, but they were ashamed to find a reason, the previous memories combined with the grievances along the way and the hatred of the enemy, quickly converged into a torrent and rushed into the hearts of the soldiers, Chen Duyun soon found that although they still did not say a word, they were no longer the listless appearance before.

They were gritting their teeth and nibbling on dry food, trying to regain their strength and store up for the next battle.

Chen Duyun was silent for a long time, and then transmitted the voice to Ma Niancai.

"What do you think?"

Ma Niancai thought he was asking his opinion on the situation just now, and immediately said: "Very good, now the morale is slowly recovering." ”

"I'm asking you what you think of the road ahead. ”

"Didn't you say that it would be safe to go north?" Ma Niancai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied, but he also realized that he trembled on the way, sighed and said: "Well, I understand that you only calculated your own safety, but that also means that there is nothing wrong with going north." ”

Chen Duyun's eyes widened suddenly, and Ma Niancai couldn't help but smile when he saw this.

"What, you think I can't guess? It's not surprising, the Lord is usually the one with the best chance of surviving......"

"Do you need to leave a suicide note?" Chen Duyun felt a little dry in his throat, otherwise he wouldn't have made a sound that didn't look like him—he forgot that he was transmitting sounds, and it had nothing to do with the state of his throat.

"No need to ...... No, if you can, help me convey a word from Yingtai. Ma Niancai took a breath, he also made the same mistake as Chen Duyun, "I wish you happiness." ”

Ma Niancai thought very thoroughly, knowing that Gao Yingtai would not care about his life and death, just like when they met in the city before, they only greeted each other with a few words of "respectful and respectful" before parting - Ma Niancai didn't dare to show too obviously, Gao Yingtai probably didn't pay attention to people other than Lei Tianhua - it was really sad to think about it, but after the sadness, he decided to stay and not let the other party remember his last words. Ahh

There was silence again, looking at Ma Niancai secretly scolding himself but not showing the slightest reluctance, just a somewhat helpless expression, Chen Duyun said:

"Then the task of encouraging the soldiers is left to you. ”

"What do you mean?" Ma Niancai couldn't understand the logic.

"Since you can face your life and death so calmly and objectively, you can naturally boost morale calmly, right?"

"Where am I calm!" Ma Niancai was so angry, he didn't expect his helplessness to be regarded as righteous and awe-inspiring, he has always prided himself on being a moderately upright person who knows how to protect himself, not those hot-blooded fools who have no brains to sacrifice and hang their mouths!

But no matter what, Chen Duyun had no intention of changing his mind, and even ordered him to start acting immediately.

"By the way, I'm probably going to ask you for this job all the way in the future. ”

"You're a surplus value extraction, I'm ......"

Ma Niancai scolded the omitted foul words over and over again in his heart.

Of course, he wouldn't have thought that all this would promote Chen Duyun's heart change.

That night, they crossed the border and entered the territory of Gumon.

And then—

Their good fortune began.
