Three days later, after careful planning, the garrison King Dodge issued a military order to send the sentinels to be stationed in the bunker. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The specific content of the military order was that a part of the sentry cavalry in the station would not collect at night and go to the non-return pier southeast of the Quang Ninh Zhongtun Station to be stationed in case of attacks by wild bandits and pirates.

Hearing such an order, the sentinels were immediately furious and very dissatisfied.

The most annoyed was the captain of the sentry cavalry, who put the total Gao Pu. He spat on the ground hatefully and scolded: "King Dodge, who entered the dog, is trying to split up our sentry cavalry!" Grandma's, bullying Lao Tzu like this, this Guangning Zhongtun is not staying! Lao Tzu directly pulled the team back to Shanhaiguan, and then voted for Lord You Shiwei! ”

Tian Wei also said resentfully: "Wang Daoqi's guy is hateful!" Listen to the place where we are going, and we will not return! Phew, Phew, Phew! If this broken name is spoken, it is his mother's bad luck! ”

In the midst of the uproar of everyone, the deputy captain, Li Xiao, looked calm.

He had just asked Mo Changrong, who was familiar with the surrounding environment, about the situation of the Pier of No Return. Originally, near the Quang Ninh Zhongtun Station, there were several large border army bunkers. They are, when the north pier, the south pier, the two piers, the three piers, the peace pier, the stone Buddha ditch pier, the tree wage pier, the high collar pier, and this pier of no return.

The name of this pier of no return is because it was built in a local place called the slope of no return, so it was named. Here, the east is quite close to the coast of Jinzhou, the west is Xingshan Station, and the south is the boundary of Ning Yuanwei.

A few years ago, when the soldiers and horses in Liaoxi were sufficient, more than 20 soldiers and soldiers were sent here to guard together, and later because most of the soldiers and horses in Liaoxi were lost in the battle of the Daling River, the soldiers who did not return to the pier, like other forts, all withdrew to the Zhongtun Station in Guangning, leaving only the soldiers to garrison.

However, at the end of last year, the fort was abandoned when pirates attacked it, killing all the garrison soldiers and looting its belongings. Unexpectedly, today Wang Daoqi had to order the Sentinel Cavalry to divide their troops to guard this place. Speaking of which, King Dodge sent a sentry cavalry to this unlucky dungeon and many people died, and there were no villains who wanted to play tricks on people.

Li Xiao was a rationalist in his previous life, and he never cared much about the so-called auspicious place names. In his opinion, no matter how good the name of the dungeon is, if it is not guarded, it is just a nonsense.

Li Xiao sighed secretly in his heart, now, Wang Daoqi has finally made a move against the sentry cavalry. This is almost an obvious way of communiqué personal vendetta, which can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

It's just that when the captain Gao Pu and others were so angry, Li Xiao began to have another idea in his heart.

Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing?

Perhaps, leaving the main fort of Quang Ninh Zhongtun, which is closely supervised, leaving the main team of sentinels and cavalry who are confined to death in the fort, and going to the remote and remote pier of no return, is a new opportunity for better development.

After all, he still had the 4,000 taels of silver and more than 300 taels of gold that he had secretly hidden。。。。。。

"General, Wang Garrison issued a military order like this, presumably it has been approved by the superiors. If we insist on confrontation, I am afraid that we will fall for this person's tricks. Li Xiao, who was thoughtful, pulled Gao Pu aside and whispered to him.

"Hmph, I Gaopu hates this villain who stabs him in the back, and he has the ability to fight with me face to face, and I don't frown even if I die! This pickled bird man has resorted to such a trick to frame us, which is truly abominable! Gao Pu scolded angrily.

"General, now is not the time to be rash, and my Sentinel Cavalry must not fall into the hands of this villain. I'm thinking, now that there are many things to do in the outpost and the responsibility is heavy, please leave the general in the station, and let Li lead a part of the sentry to the pier of no return to station the guard. Li Xiao said sincerely.

Gao Pu looked straight at him with a look of sympathy and concern, and finally, he let out a long sigh and nodded.

"Deputy Li, you can choose the candidate for the sentry to the pier of no return, as long as you choose well, if you don't go, Lao Tzu will break his leg!"

Hearing Gao Pu's rude words, Li Xiao smiled and thanked him.

In fact, Li Xiao is now in the sentry cavalry team, the popularity is very good, in addition to his own meritorious deeds are respected, Li Xiao is bold, quite generous to a group of sentry cavalry brothers, the day of the imperial court gave two silver taels, Li Xiao took a lot of silver for the sentry cavalry brothers to set up a banquet to eat, buy living utensils, add clothes, etc., so he won the admiration and support of a group of sentry cavalry.

Sure enough, when Li Xiao asked if there were any sentry riders who were willing to go to the pier of no return, except for a very few people such as Hua Ji, who was silent, almost all the sentry riders agreed to go with them.

Liantian Weimo Changrong, the two veteran sentinels who fought with Li Xiao that day, also expressed their loyalty to Li Xiao and were willing to go together.

In the end, after consideration, Li Xiao chose Tian Wei and the other 6 sentinels. These people knew that they would go to the pier of no return with their deputy Li Xiao, and they were all quite happy, as if they had won the lottery, which made Li Xiao feel inexplicably emotional.

Being able to follow a leader who is excellent in force and decisive in the face of the opportunity is actually the greatest yearning in the heart of every sergeant who is eager to make meritorious contributions.

Mo Changrong and the other sentry riders who were not selected were disappointed.

Although Li Xiao explained to Mo Changrong alone that he also needed the assistance of an experienced veteran sentinel on Gao Pu's side, there was still a depressed look on his face.

Next, Gao Pu arranged a farewell banquet, and a group of sentinels enjoyed the wine.

After the banquet, Li Xiao and others packed up and set off. Subsequently, Li Xiao and other 8 sentinels rode out of the east gate and rode away.

All the sentry riders watched Li Xiao and them gallop away with an expression of nostalgia and reluctance, and only Hua Ji was the only one at this time, although his face was heavy, his heart was almost happy.

Li Xiao, who entered this dog, thought that he would have a good secret fight with him, but he didn't expect this person to leave by himself, which saved him a lot of thoughts.

Li Xiao, Li Xiao, you, a rural hunter from Jinzhou, are still inexperienced, do you think that if you don't return to the dun, it is really a good place to go. Hmph, such an abandoned dungeon, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to even settle down。。。。。。

Two hours later, Li Xiao and the others arrived outside the pier of no return.

Dozens of steps away from the bunker, Li Xiao and the others immediately smelled a strong and pungent stench.

"Damn, this is a pier, it's a latrine, and it doesn't smell like this." Tian Wei couldn't help but mutter, and clutched his nose in disgust.

When the sentry riders covered their noses, Li Xiao at this time was watching the appearance and situation of this pier of no return.

Li Xiao observed that this non-return pier should be a typical larger side pier in eastern Liaodong. Under the painstaking management of Yuan Chonghuan and later Sun Chengzong and other Liaodong economic strategies, there are such side piers everywhere in Liaoxi, as well as more encrypted fire road piers, these piers and military forts, socheng, acropolis, town and other military facilities together form a huge and tight defense system. It is precisely because of such a defense system, which can be called the top defense system of this era, that until the Songjin War, the western Liaoning region can always maintain tranquility. The Tatar chieftain Taiji entered the customs several times, but he did not dare to fight the idea of Liaoxi, and all of them bypassed this place and interspersed with the territory of the Mongolian tribes, so that they had to break the wall from Datong or Xuanfu and other places to enter the customs.

Li Xiao led everyone to ride their horses around the pier of no return, and saw the full shape of the pier of no return more clearly.

This pier platform is as high as fifteen meters, the surrounding is covered with bricks, the whole shape is inclined ladder, the upper cover is expected to be the hall, the four corners of the pier body are all set up with lampposts, the Ming army sun and moon military flag originally inserted, now only a few wooden poles covered with green moss remain, the lanterns hung on each lamppost are also tattered and full of dust. And with the pier body as the base point, a circle of nearly half a mile of horse circle wall was built, and the horse circle wall was more than three meters high. And take the horse circle wall as the base point, five or six meters away, ring digging pier ditch, ditch two meters deep, one zhang wide. The entire pier abutment only has a pier body facing west, and there is an opening on one side, and a suspension bridge is set up as the only access to the outside world.

In the eyes of Li Xiao and the sentry riders, the pier of no return at this time is more suitable than a pier platform.

From the inside of the pier to the ditch outside, there are patches of feces and garbage mixed everywhere, and the rancid and blackened sewage is trapped in the corners and gutters. The entire pier of no return, inside and outside, is full of foul odors, making it difficult for people to breathe. At this time, the weather in western Liaoning has gradually cooled, but here in the point of no return, the buzzing flies are still swarming, flying densely, Li Xiao waved his hand in disgust to drive them away, but in vain.

"Pass my order, start cleaning this place immediately, and be sure to clear a place where you can rest before dark." After Li Xiao gave the order, he took the lead in picking up a shovel and walked towards the pile of garbage.
