The city is full of wind and sand, and the tulou buildings are also common, and there are some rammed walls made of earth on all sides, and there are some soldiers in tattered armor on the city walls to guard and guard them, and the barrenness here is simply sour to the sight of it.

The lord of the city was an old man in the sixtieth year, about seventy years old, with a wooden cane, and he looked very old.

"General Meng Yi, please come in." The city lord said in a weak voice on crutches, as if as long as the wind blows, the city lord will be blown into the sky.

"Well, the city lord of the car ruler, it's been good lately." Meng Yi's eyes were full of love for the city lord of this car ruler.

"The old man is in good health, but he has been a little weak recently, probably because of old age, and in the future, the position of the city lord of Tucheng is estimated to be handed over to those young men." The ruler coughed slightly.

"What you said is too serious, I see that you are still very strong, where do you feel weak." Meng Yi turned the head of the fire sideburns horse and said to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone hurry into the city and recuperate in the city for a few days, in a few days, it will be the day of the invasion of the Barbarian Mountain Clan, and we must do a good job of prevention." ”

"Yes, General." All the soldiers agreed in unison.

After the army of 10,000 people entered the city lord, they were arranged in simple earthen houses.

"There are a lot of cobwebs, and this room probably hasn't been cleaned in a while." One of the soldiers sighed slightly, grabbed the cobwebs, and threw them away.

Li Ling entered the room, and when he looked around, there was an earthen bed in front of him, and some very simple bamboo mats were piled up on top of the earthen bed.

But most of the soldiers were able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and the bamboo mats and earthen beds were hard. But as long as you can get a good night's sleep, it doesn't matter.

As night fell, the soldiers lying on their seats began to talk and whisper. And sleeping next to Li Ling was a slightly older veteran, who turned to Li Ling and said, "Young man, you are new here." I haven't seen you before. ”

"Yes, I am." Li Ling nodded.

"Young man, the first time you go to the battlefield, you may be a little uncomfortable. But it's good to take your time. The veteran said bitterly.

"Yes, I understand." Li Ling said with a slight smile.

"Hey, I don't remember how many recruits you've had lying next to me. The previous ones were all killed by the Barbarian Mountain Clan. The veteran shook his head and sighed.

"On the battlefield, casualties are inevitable." Li Ling sighed slightly.

"Yes, I watched all the young and strong young men die on the battlefield. I'm a veteran who feels a little sorry. If you want to die, it should be my old bones to die. As the old soldier spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, as if he felt guilty.

"Every man dies according to his destiny." Li Ling smiled slightly.

"Hey...... Maybe I'm dead, so many people have died, young man, you must not die. The veteran patted Li Ling's shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Don't worry, my life is also very hard." Li Ling smiled slightly.

Early the next morning. Before the sun had even gone out, everyone was called. Start practicing on the field!

Li Ling was also in the training team, and at noon, everyone went to the canteen area sweating like rain to float a bowl of porridge to drink.

"It's good to drink some. Just don't be picky. Some of the soldiers comforted themselves with a word.

In fact, even General Meng Yi ate the same as everyone else, and everyone had no complaints.

After drinking the porridge, it was the fortification of the afternoon, and in front of the earthen city, a fence was pulled up to block the invasion of the barbarian army.

"The Barbarian Mountain Clan usually invades Tucheng in the middle of the year, and many people will die at that time." The soldiers don't seem to have much fighting spirit, and the defeats in the past have made the soldiers press their lives to God.

"What can be done, but fortunately, the war is not long, it is only five months, five months have passed, as long as you survive, there is hope." Another soldier said.

"yes, it's going to rain."

The sky was covered with dark clouds, gradually moving towards the earth city, the front of the earth city is a dense forest, in fact, no one can understand what the front of the earth city will be a dense forest.

When the clouds came, it rained heavily, and despite the heavy rain, the soldiers built their fences in the rain.

"The general has an order, and the fence is not allowed to be completed until it is completed." The generals published General Meng Yi's words.

"Yes......" the soldiers promised in unison.

Li Ling was also among them, drenched in heavy rain, but there was nothing to complain about, Li Ling didn't care about this bitterness at all.

At night, the rain stopped, the fence was finished, and everyone was soaking wet, so they took off their coats and twisted their jaws!

"I don't know what happened to the rice porridge? Feeling hungry. "The soldiers are hungry, although the rice porridge is unpalatable, but after all, it can fill the stomach a little, although the soldiers have a certain strength base, and they have a set of hunger, but that doesn't mean they don't have to eat.

After dinner, the soldiers could not rest, and they had to continue to build the arrow tower, and some personnel should be placed on the arrow tower to guard it, and once the barbarian people attacked, they would blow the horn and inform everyone.

Tonight, it was Li Ling on duty.

Li Ling stood on top of the arrow tower, looking into the depths of the dense forest by the moonlight, and two soldiers were usually arranged on the arrow tower, patrolling back and forth.

On the first night, the people of the Barbarian Mountain Clan invaded!

The next night, no one invaded!

It wasn't until the third night that Li Ling noticed some subtle differences from the dense forest.

"There's movement." Li Ling saw it at a glance, and saw some slight movements among the grasses, although the movement was not big, but someone must have come to investigate.

"Xiaoyang, you patrol here, I'll go and inform the general that there is something unusual in the grass." Li Ling said.

"Where is there movement, why can't I see it?" Xiaoyang also opened his eyes wide to look, but he couldn't see anything.

"You hold on here for the time being, and I'll come when I go." Li Ling leaped down from the top of the arrow tower, and then walked towards the inside of the earth city, and came to the outside of General Meng Yi's camp.

There were two soldiers guarding outside Mengyi's tent, and when they saw that Li Ling was about to break through, they immediately drew their swords to prevent Li Ling from entering.

"I want to see General Mengyi." Li Ling said.

"General Meng Yi has already slept, come back tomorrow morning." The Guardian said.

"I have an urgent military situation to see General Meng Yi." Li Ling said.

Suddenly, the lights in the tent turned on, and a winged voice came from inside the tent: "Let him in." ”

"Yes, General." The two guards said.

"You go in." The two guards opened the tent and let Li Ling in.

When Li Ling entered the tent, Meng Yi had already gotten up from the bed, put on riding boots, and said with a solemn look, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"General Meng, when I was patrolling the arrow tower, I found that in the grass in the distance, there were vigilant spies investigating us, so I came here to report." Li Ling said.

"Enemy spies? The Barbarian Clan even spies on the military? Meng Yi said in surprise.

"Could it be that the Barbarian Mountain Clan has never spied on the military before?" Li Ling said curiously, after all, the two armies were facing each other, how could they not spy on the military situation.

"No, the Barbarian Mountain Clan is originally a barbarian, and it has always focused on fighting, and strategy in the army is not what the other party is good at." Meng Yi said.

"I did, however, find that there are people watching in the bushes, and General Meng will not be in case of any incident, so I advise the general to send some men at once to surround that guy from the rear, and capture that guy, and maybe he will be able to come up with something useful." Li Ling said.

"Well, what you say makes a lot of sense." Meng Yi said.

"Zhang Meng, you come in." Meng Yi said to the guard outside the tent.

The guard entered the tent and bowed, "What does the general command?" ”

"Immediately take twenty men and go to the grass of the arrow tower outside, outflank them from behind, and see if there are any enemy spies hidden in the grass." Meng Yi said.

Zhang Meng was stunned and said in surprise: "The Barbarian Mountain Clan has always been huge, and it seems a little impossible to hide in the grass and spy on it." ”

"Don't ask, just do it." Meng Yi said to Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng glanced at Li Ling before leaving, then turned around and left.

Half an hour later, Zhang Meng really captured a short man who came in, the short man had a bald head and big ears, and his eyes were protruding, looking like a little old man, but Li Ling knew that this guy was not a little old man, it should be another clan.

"Dayi!" Meng Yi frowned deeply and looked at the little man in surprise.

The little man just kept his head down, not daring to look up.

"The Dayi have always been on the north side of the mountain, how can they appear here?" Meng Yi was also puzzled in his heart, and Li Ling also heard from Meng Yi's words that this was something other than an accident.

"Why are you outside my barracks, and what are your intentions?" Meng Yi interrogated.

The little man just didn't speak.

Zhang Meng pulled out his knife with all his might, and asked, "The general asked you, why didn't you answer?" ”

"I don't have anything to say?" The little man was also a little frightened when he saw Zhang Meng pull out the steel knife.

"Are you here to spy on the military?" Meng Yi asked directly.

The dwarf doesn't speak.

"I heard that the people of the Dayi tribe have always been at odds with the people of the Barbarian Mountain Tribe, but why, why did you sneak out of our military camp?" Meng Yi asked again.

"I ......" the little man didn't know what to say? (To be continued......)
