Although he was only wearing a thin gown, Song Hongxin was still sweating, and he waved the shovel in his hand vigorously, shoveling the snow on the ground into the basket, and then the soldiers under his command put the snow on top of the fortress.

Sticking the shovel into the ground, Song Hongxin looked at the devastation around the fortress that had been dug up by himself, and smiled with satisfaction. "Okay, almost, the stockade is almost, build the remaining snow into a stone and knock it tighter, this is a gift from God, so that we can make countless rejection horses, antlers, and stakes without effort, and let the Donghu cavalry eat!" Song Hongxin's rude words made more than a hundred men laugh.

It was another half a day's work, and around the village, thousands of strange snow stones were set up, and the snow stones that were high for one person were scattered and scattered, forming a natural barrier. A cold night of wind can make these snow stones harder than stones.

Song Hongxing inspected the achievements of his brothers, looked at those strange shapes, and couldn't help laughing, "This is that bastard, and he actually made his facial features vivid?" With this kung fu, don't you know how many to build? ”

"Company commander, it's me! The craftsmanship is good, right? A young soldier jumped out, seeming not at all afraid of the company commander.

"The craftsmanship is good, especially this thing is distinctive, a pillar of optimus, Xiao Haizi, you are strong, is this guy your style every morning!" Song Hongxing pointed to the pillar between the snowman's crotches and asked with a smile.

"Xiao Haizi hasn't grown up yet, earthworms are general, there is this majesty there, this is Xiao Haizi's imagination!" On the other side, a bearded man said with bad intentions.

"Yours is like an earthworm, beard, dare you do it in front of everyone. Take it out and compare it! Xiao Haizi's face was flushed.

"Bibi is Bibi!" The bearded man made a gesture to untie his belt, but Xiao Haizi turned around and ran away. It caused everyone to laugh wildly. Looking at the size and age of the two, there must be no comparison.

"Let's go, go back to the village, I guess, it's only these two days, the Donghu barbarians are coming, let's rest for two days and welcome these evil guests!" Song Hongxin was very satisfied with the ease of his brothers. Before the war, this kind of relaxation represented everyone's high fighting spirit and determination to die.

After joining the Eastern Army, Song Hongxin's biggest and most intuitive feeling was that the equipment in each soldier's hand was really good, and he watched his brothers put on hoods that only showed their eyes, and then put on helmets. Although the thick cotton clothes looked a little bloated, when fighting, they were able to put on a layer of leather armor and a pair of gloves in each hand. This allows the soldiers to hold the hilt of the gun firmly even in the weather when the water is dripping into ice. Looking at the bed crossbows densely packed on the wall, and the arm crossbows neatly stacked at the back, he couldn't help but sigh. Combat effectiveness sometimes has nothing to do with the courage of a soldier, but depends on the weapon in his hand to kill, which should be his stockade of more than 100 people. These long-range weapons equipped with them were enough to equip half an army in the previous standing army of the Yan Kingdom.

"Kill." This is the task given to Song Hongxin by the regiment commander Chen Bin, "Brother, I don't want to hide it from you, you are the foremost stockade, saying that nine deaths and one life are light, if you can't come back alive, then, I hope you can take down ten times your enemy to fill your life." ”

"Dead?" Song Hongxin laughed, he should have died a long time ago, and he could live for so many more years, he was really earned. For more than ten years, in his heart, there has always been a poisonous snake gnawing at his heart, making him uneasy day and night. At that time, he and a group of brothers were ordered to go to the mountains to catch a bandit, in the mountains and dense forests, they were ambushed by the bandits, and the whole team fell into the siege of the bandits, only he, as a sentry, walked at the front of the team, the bandits let him go, and lured dozens of brothers in the rear to fall into the encirclement.

Over the years, Song Hongxin has always hated why he didn't find the enemy's ambush, the brothers believed in themselves so much, and as a result, he brought them to death, and after the battle broke out and the brothers fell into a bitter battle, he did not turn back to rescue, but fled shamefully.

In the end, dozens of brothers, except for him, were wiped out on that mountain.

This is the biggest obstacle in his heart, and in the next ten years, it is this obstacle that makes him uneasy, and whenever there is a dead of night, those bloody brothers will always appear in dreams.

He wanted to use his bravery, blood, or the enemy's head to prove that he was not a coward, he even wanted to fall on the way to the charge, and die under the enemy's knife, so that he would have the face to see those old brothers in the past, but fate was so strange, he was not afraid of death, not afraid of death, but every battle, he could be safe and sound, although he was covered with bruises, but none of them were fatal, and the brothers around him fell one after another, He's still alive and well.

There was no joy in his heart, only deeper pain.

This time, the task of guarding this stockade was asked by him from the regiment commander Chen Bin. It is precisely because he has always been brave in battle and fearless of death that Chen Bin also gave him this place with confidence.

"Ten times as many enemies!" Thinking of Chen Bin's words, he couldn't help but laugh, "Lao Chen will really give me a problem, I have more than 100 people here, ten times, that is, more than 1,000 Donghu people, this task is a bit difficult." ”

A cold wind blew, Song Hongxin shivered, his face was like a knife scraped, then he reacted, he was distracted, the hood was in his hand, he didn't put it on, he smiled self-defeatingly, put on the hood, a warmth came from the bottom of his heart, he strode to the wall, and shouted to his brothers: "Hey, it's enough rest, get water, pour the wall, let's make the village a little stronger." ”

Buckets of water were carried up and poured over the snow walls outside, and in an instant they turned into a layer of sparkling ice, layer upon layer, and the soldiers took the trouble to dress their walls in a coat of steel.

The fortress is surrounded by ice and snow armor, in addition to the enhancement of defense, there is a more important benefit, that is, warmth, these days, the stockade is much warmer than before.

After dinner, Song Hongxin sat on the highest watchtower in the fortress, looking into the distance, as a veteran of more than ten years, he always had the feeling that the war should break out in the next few days.

"Beard, are the brethren ready?" He looked back at the bearded man.

Beard nodded vigorously.

"Food, water, firewood, crossbow arrows, how long can we hold these things?"

"A lot, as long as it is not broken by the enemy, we can hold it for at least a month!"

"A month!" A smile appeared on Song Hongxin's face, "Then it's really possible to pull ten times the enemy to fill the life!" Beard, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, we will be surrounded by dense enemies, we can't see reinforcements, we can only fight alone, are you afraid? ”

"What is there to be afraid of!" The beard on the beard's face seemed to be stiffened one by one, "Come as much, kill as many as you want!" ”

Song Hongxin laughed, "Okay, that's it, beard, you can take a few people to seal the gate of the village later." Blockage, watering and ice, we don't go out anymore, right here, fight to the end of victory, or die. ”

"Yes, company commander!" The beard nodded vigorously.

"Xiao Haizi, today's lookout task will be handed over to you, I'll go sleep for a while. Don't fall asleep, watch your pillar of optimus carefully! Patting Xiao Haizi on the shoulder hard, Song Hongxing laughed and walked down the watchtower.

This night, Song Hongxin slept soundly, and the bloody comrades-in-arms who often came to visit him in their dreams did not bother him again. Instead, he dreamed that he was galloping in the ice and snow, cutting the Donghu people to the ground with a big knife in his hand, cutting leeks like leeks, and a horse came and went, so unhappy!

His war horse is so powerful, every time he steps on it, it seems to shake the ground.

The ground shook the mountain, Song Hongxin Huo opened his eyes, his waist straightened, and he jumped up from the bed, yes, the fort seemed to be shaking, as if the earth dragon was rolling, it was a cavalry, thousands of cavalry made a movement, Song Hongxin just got up from the bed, above the watchtower, the warning horn had sounded.

More than 100 soldiers have been waiting for the fort these days, and when they heard the siren, everyone immediately rushed to the wall with their hands. Song Hongxin rushed towards the wall with the others, while listening to the brothers under his command shouting excitedly.

"Holy shit, it's finally here."

"Kill all these barbarians, but wait for Lao Tzu to die."

"them."

More than a hundred soldiers rushed up the wall, the felt garments on the bed crossbows were lifted, and the brand-new, excellently maintained bowstrings were taken out of the boxes, carefully installed, and then the huge crossbow bolts were installed with a shake of the handle. The improved bed crossbow of the Eastern Army has greatly increased the firing speed......

Some soldiers are squatting on the ground, taking out a small bowstring from the box, mounted on the arm crossbow, this ghost weather, there are benefits, naturally there are also disadvantages, such as these bowstrings, you need to be careful maintenance, otherwise in this extremely cold weather, it is easy to damage, and these things, but they are the biggest weapon to kill the enemy.

Song Hongxin stood on the city wall, still in the darkness in the distance, he could already hear the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, but he could not see the trace of the enemy, he raised his head to the sky, the snowflakes in the sky were more dense than the day, under the light of the lights of the fortress, like a piece of dancing elves.

"Brothers, watch me kill the enemy!" He said silently in his heart. (To be continued......)
