The work on the construction site is extremely hard.

So much so that many men are only wearing a single coat, and in this cold grassland, they are still sweating.

In order to rush the work, nearly 3,000 people were on the construction site, some were responsible for making timber on the spot, some were responsible for laying the roadbed, some were engaged in exploration, and some were carrying sand and gravel.

Different types of work need to cooperate closely, otherwise, if any type of work falls off the chain, the other construction teams will inevitably have to stop work.

Therefore, these thousands of people are here, constantly running-in, and the cooperation between each other has become intimate.

When a group of men arrived in the desert, they had a bit more wild side.

Occasionally, there will be lost cattle and sheep, and they will simply steal them and roast them, not because they lack food, but just for their own pleasure.

Of course, there are wolves in the grasslands, and wolves live in packs, and once they detect these workers, they are reluctant to leave. Therefore, here, there will always be a big battle between people and wolves.

Different types of work are divided into different construction teams.

These construction teams are clearly organized, and when they come to the desert, anyone who is separated from the crowd will be like a lone wolf, and no matter how big the grassland is, there will be no place for it.

Because of this, this group of strong men who are far away from a foreign land often know how to cherish their partners more than when they were in Guannai.

If someone is sick and no one takes care of you, if you are accidentally injured at work, if no one shuts you for warmth, then no one can persist in such a place, not even for a day.

And the captains of the various construction teams are undoubtedly the most authoritative figures in this grassland, they often have to take care of the craftsmen and laborers below, and at the same time, they are also responsible for rewards and punishments, and here, their words are unquestionable, after all...... This is the grassland, and the strong men have cut off the connection with the world, and only by relying on the captains of the construction team can they survive here.

Chen Zhengye is the backbone of these construction team captains, this Chen family who was born in coal digging is not easy to provoke, any process wants to cut corners for him, Chen Zhengye can be like a sharp eye, discerning.

Therefore...... Chen Zhengye shouted loudly and immediately ...... Several of the guards around him immediately began to gallop and roar back and forth on the huge construction site.

On the other hand, some people have already begun to put horses on the newly constructed wooden tracks, which were supposed to carry construction materials.

In fact, the craftsmen and laborers have long seen the wolf smoke.

This was the first time they had seen the wolf smoke, although they had been told what it meant once the wolf smoke rose before, but at this time, more people were still silent, because ...... There was no order from the captain and Chen Zhengye.

Until the herald appeared in the construction section everywhere and roared and roared, all at once...... Everyone is starting to move.

The captains of the construction teams of each team were sweating profusely, they knew that something was going to happen, something big was going to happen, and they also knew what it would mean once Chen Zhengye was so nervous, so they began to gather everyone immediately.

"Put down all the tools in your hands, don't worry about all the materials, everyone, ready to get in the car, listen to the orders, we ...... Immediately set off to Xuanwu Station, listen to me, if anyone is a step late and falls here, it is no wonder that others. Right now...... Go back to your tent at once, bring your firearms, and be quick, and give you time to stick a stick of incense. ”

"Whoa."

After all, the men are sufficiently trained in military affairs.

To tell the truth, the drill was extremely intense, and it could even be said that it had reached an outrageous level, and everyone responded with a bang, and the action was very fast.

The physical strength of these workers is already excellent, and it can even be said that people with such physical strength are rare when they are placed outside the customs.

After all, every day of hard work, hard work, hard work, every three or five times, there are also military drills.

Of course, the same is true of the Turks, who are also on horseback every day, just ...... When it comes to food, the workers are much stronger.

Even...... These workers are so extravagant that they not only have a large amount of meat every day, but also a large number of fresh vegetables and fruits from Guanzhong, which will be specially transported, after all, along the newly built tracks, in fact, it does not cost much to transport.

Turkic people are generally deficient in vitamins, not to mention that Turkic people often eat meat, but because there are almost no fresh fruits and vegetables, they cannot replenish vitamins, so they often feel tired and weak.

But these workers, although they are tanned, most of them are black, but under their black complexion, they often have a touch of red, their muscles bulge, and their bodies are very strong.

Therefore, under an order, everyone began to go back to their tents, they moved quickly, and knew where to assemble, after a short pack of luggage, on the other side, a loaded carriage has been set, and then, a construction team began to board the car, a car carrying dozens of people, a full of people, after a quick roll call, the carriage set off quickly, southward, towards the Xuanwu station rushed away.

A car, full of black pressure people, ran wildly along the newly repaired wooden tracks.

It's not too far from Xuanwu Station, half an hour later...... The people who were pressed by the pressure had actually started to get off at the station.

The captains began to appear on the platform first, gathering their workers, and soon, Chen Zhengye had appeared in the inn.

Inside the inn, Li Shimin's guards were already like a great enemy.

I heard that a large number of people appeared at the station, and someone had already gone to investigate.

And I heard that the Turks were killed. The whole station is actually full of gongs and drums.

The innkeeper's face turned pale at first, and then his face turned red, and he went to explain to the men that they were going to copy the guys.

The capital of his whole life has been smashed in this Xuanwu station, if the Turks come, what else will be left?

These white-eyed wolves are actually reversed, they are all in this position, why don't they work hard?

In fact, people who can come to the desert have long had no way out in the pass, on the one hand, they are bold, if they don't have enough courage, they don't dare to go out. On the other hand, the vast majority of people are in ruins, you Turks don't let us live, and we have no way to live, so let's do our best.

This Xuanwu station up and down, actually gathered three or four hundred people, and there were herdsmen one after another who saw the wolf smoke, and they all came in twos and threes, and later, the number of people accumulated into a lot, and there were seven or eight hundred people.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Qian hurriedly came in: "The craftsmen who were building the road in front saw the wolf smoke, and they had already come in a hurry, with nearly three thousand people, and they were now on standby at the station.

In fact...... By this time, the advance of the Turks had already arrived.

Of course, they did not rush to attack, but many Turkic scouts began to wander around, spying on the reality of this Xuanwu station, and only waited for the arrival of the brigade behind them before launching an attack.

Right now...... It has reached the point where there is no way back, and according to Li Shimin's concept, unless he takes this opportunity to break through, there is no way out.

He's interested in breaking out because of ...... He knew very well that the Turks did not eat fruits and vegetables on weekdays, so they often lacked something in their bodies, and at night, they often couldn't see clearly, and if they ignited a fire, they couldn't see it really.

At the beginning, what Li Shimin was best at was to attack the enemy at night with a small number of horse teams, and he was often successful.

Of course...... Li Shimin knew that he was facing a murderous Turk, and he was still an elite Turkic cavalry, even if he found a way to break through and break the camp, he still sweated at this time, knowing that today had reached the point of nine deaths.

He let Chen Zhengtai wear armor, this Chen Zhengtai seemed to be canned, with three layers of chain mail and Mingguang armor inside, and he suddenly felt like a sardine squeezed in a can, and even his face turned red.

"Your Majesty...... This armor doesn't fit well. ”

"Wear more, you can live a little longer."

Live one more moment...... Chen Zhengtai felt that he was having trouble breathing, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

What the hell am I ......

But when he heard that Chen Zhengye was coming with someone, Chen Zhengtai was overjoyed: "Ah, Zhengye came so timely, I owe him so much on weekdays." ”

Li Shimin was on the side, still frowning.

In fact, he had no interest in these workers.

He is a person who has led soldiers, so he naturally knows the truth that soldiers are not expensive.

Suddenly such a group of people came, expecting them to fight against the Turks?

The more people there are, the more chaos it will cause, and once the Turks start to attack, they will be chaotic, not to mention looking for fighters, but they are afraid that before the iron cavalry arrives, they will trample on each other.

How many military horses have there been in the past, that's the case.

Li Shimin frowned.

But he heard Chen Zhengtai say: "Your Majesty, the Turks are about to attack, why not let the workers form a formation at this time, and fight for a while first." ”

"You're sending them to their deaths."

"Your Majesty, son-in-law...... But they were trained to prepare firearms and gunpowder, and they were ......."

Li Shimin felt that Chen Zhengtai, a military idiot, suddenly regained his courage and talked eloquently.

For a moment, it was really angry and funny: "They are not useless officers and soldiers, you are sending them to death." ”

Chen Zhengtai said with a straight face: "At this point, don't you send them to death, and they can live?" Once the Turks are killed, no one can be spared, why not give it a try, Your Majesty, you know the son, the son of this person, has always been loyal and courageous, righteous and thin, although this is boastful, but the so-called time of danger to see the loyal ministers, the sons are willing to take them to try. Didn't Your Majesty want to personally lead the Iron Cavalry to try to break through? Even if it is a breakthrough, it will be at night, at least during the day...... Erchen wanted to meet these Turks for a while. ”

Chen Zhengtai's words can be described as loud and sound, and there is a bit of heroism without hesitation.

Li Shimin was speechless for a while.

He sighed, "yes, it's all here. He frowned, where is the person named Chen Zhengye? ”

Chen Zhengye was already waiting outside the inn, and then entered the inn and saluted: "Chen Zhengye, I have seen ......."

Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengye seriously: "I heard that you and Zhengtai are cousins, why are you born so different?" ”

Chen Zhengye: "......"

Li Shimin was actually just curious and asked casually.

Chen Zhengtai was speechless: "Your Majesty, there is no way, the ancestors were born like this, I am a little more handsome... But my cousin is not bad, he at least looks quite different..."

Handsome......

Out-of-phase ......

Li Shimin didn't bother to pay attention to this, but looked at Chen Zhengye, who really looked a little weird.

However, this is obviously only a minutiae.

"Where did the Qing family come from?"

"From the construction site, I saw the wolf smoke, so I immediately brought people here."

Li Shimin bowed: "Three thousand? ”

"It's three thousand."

"How long has it been from the construction site?"

"I'm afraid it's twenty miles." Chen Zhengye said honestly: "The minister was worried at the time, so he ......"

"Twenty miles...... Three Thousand Miles...... It's less than an hour to ......" Li Shimin was shocked when he heard this.

That's a lot of speed.

In this era, some military horses, these twenty miles, may need to walk for a day.

After all, 3,000 people are not 3,000 sheep, and if you don't drive them, they will move. Different people have different minds, different people, and different physical strengths......... What's more, you still need to carry a lot of grain and grass, walk a long way, you may have to stop, bury the pot to cook, eat and drink, you still need to take a break, and then walk on the road for a short time, the sky may be dark.

But...... It only took less than an hour for 3,000 people to assemble, and then galloped all the way for twenty miles, galloping to the aid of Xuanwu Station, which ...... It's simply unheard of.

It is the Son of Heaven like Li Shimin who leads troops, who often runs all night with elite iron cavalry, and cannot achieve such a speed of assembly and marching.

"You've led soldiers?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has not brought troops."

"What did you do in the past?"

Chen Zhengye thought about it, and finally replied honestly: "Minister...... Dig coal ......"

Li Shimin: "......"

At this moment, there was a humane outside: "The Turkic headquarters are coming, and many people have come, and they are overwhelmed, and the clouds cover the sun, and there is no end in sight...... They're going to get ready to attack, they're going to get ready to attack......"

The person who spoke, as if frightened, yelled hysterically and stammered, but the person stumbled, rolled into the inn in embarrassment, and let out a wail: "It's about to be killed.....
