The Captain of the Ten appeared at the edge of the trap with a few Rouran scouts, and with the help of his two men, he jumped out of the trap, crouching inside the pit and staring at the dried reddish-brown blood stains on the spikes of several wooden stakes.

He reached out and pulled out the knife at his waist to cut the flesh and scraped some dried blood stains on the tip of a wooden stake, his nose leaned over and sniffed, he looked up at the eyes above his head: "It's human blood, left yesterday!" ”

Two Rouran scouts pulled the Ten-Captain up, and another Rouran Detective stepped on the half-melted snow and came over to caress his chest and reported: "Ten-Commander, I found some footprints around, as well as a horse's hoof prints, and footprints and horseshoe prints at the foot of the mountain!" ”

"Let's go, take me to see it!"

Led by the Rouran scouts, the Captain of the Ten led a few other scouts to the foot of the hill, where they stood around some footprints and horseshoe prints.

"These footprints are different, and they are not the same as those of Zelich, it seems that Zelich and his horse have been taken away by the Xianbei people!" After the ten-division said this, his eyes looked at Nantiangang, which was a few miles away, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

On the South Tiangang, the soldiers are still busy, the wooden shelves are erected inside and outside the wall, some soldiers are smearing the wall with thin mud, decorating the wall, the fortress has been capped, the four corners are built with arrow towers, there is a female wall on the top of the fort, and the female wall is connected to the arrow tower.

The whole fortress is divided into three levels, the first floor has only one door to enter the fort, there are no windows, there are ventilation holes leading to the top of the fort, which is the resting place of the soldiers; On the second floor, there is a small room where Mulan lives, and there is a kitchen for cooking for everyone, and there is a staircase leading to it from the first floor, and there are archery holes all around, and only through the archery holes are used for lighting; On the third floor there are granaries, storehouses of defensive equipment, stacked with stones, wood, swords, bows and arrows, and there are archery holes around the walls; From the third floor, there is a staircase leading to the top of the fort, and the third floor and the top of the fort are the center of gravity of the defensive forces, and the main forces are deployed in these two places.

There was also a small cistern at the top of the fort to store rainwater for the defenders. While digging earth on one side of the fort to build the fort, the soldiers dug a large pit, which formed a slightly larger pool, and the soldiers dug a small ditch and buried small pipes to divert the water from the pool into the fort for the defenders to drink.

Outside the fortress, Hua Mulan looked at several figures that appeared at the foot of the northern mountains and forests and asked Zhao Junsheng: "Brother Junsheng, do you think they will attack today?" ”

Zhao Junsheng exhaled a hot breath: "Now that the fortress has been roughly completed and the defensive force has been formed, they want to attack a fortress with less than ten people, unless their brains are burned, they won't do such a stupid thing!" If it were me, I would not act rashly, the task of the outpost is not to fight and kill, but to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, I guess they will withdraw first, and then find a way to find out the situation here, report the news they have discovered, and wait for the general Rouran stationed in Shengle City to make a decision! ”

Hua Mulan listened to Zhao Junsheng's analysis, and looked at the figures of those Rouran detectives who were still at the foot of the mountain, "Brother Junsheng, do you think we still have a few days to prepare?" ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head: "This is not certain, I am not the roundworm in the stomach of the general Rouran stationed in Shengle City, how do I know his thoughts?" Maybe a large force of Rouran cavalry will come over tomorrow, maybe it will take ten days and half a month! ”

At the foot of the mountain, the ten-captain was still staring at the fortress standing on the hill in the distance, watching the busy sound on the fortress, his knife-like face was full of murderous aura, and the subordinates standing beside him all felt the danger.

"Captain Ten, we ······ now How? One of his subordinates asked.

"Go back!" After the ten-captain finished speaking, he turned around and left, without any nostalgia.

Several Rouran scouts looked at each other, and one of them caught up: "Captain Ten, let's just leave like this?" Zelic died in vain? Also, we only saw that the Xianbei people had built a fort here, and we didn't find out anything else, how to explain to Xiaoshuai when we went back? ”

Since the Rouran Khan Yu Jiulu Shelun established the royal court on the bank of the weak Luoshui River in 402 A.D., calling himself Qiu Doufa Khan, he borrowed from the military system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with thousands of people as an army, and the army was placed as a general, called the general; With 100 people as the building, there is a handsome building, called a small handsome; Those who command more than 10,000 troops are called marshals, and generally only tribal leaders are qualified to be marshals.

"First fall back to the point and join up with a few other people, this broad daylight is easy to be discovered by the Xianbei people, and then find a way to touch them after dark to find out their reality!"

On the hill, Mulan saw the figure of Rouran's detective disappearing into the mountains and forests in the distance, "Brother Junsheng, they're gone!" ”

"They'll be coming again, maybe tonight! If they can be regarded as elite and qualified detective sentinels, how can they leave so easily without finding out what we are really doing? I guess they're waiting for dark! ”

Zhao Junsheng's words made Mulan's embroidered eyebrows frown, "Brother Junsheng means that they will sneak over to find out our truth while it is dark?" ”

"It's very likely!"

Zhao Junsheng touched his chin and said: "Only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, it's not a good thing to be stared at by these Rouran detectives all day long, I think we have to find a way to lure them all over and kill them together!" If they are asked to find out what we have here and report to General Rouran, this Nantian Fort will face a big attack! ”

"How do you lure them all over?"

Zhao Junsheng rubbed the stubble on his chin and beckoned to Mulan: "Come here with your ears!" ”

Hua Mulan followed her words, and Zhao Junsheng gently bit her earlobe and whispered: "You are so ······ like this"

Hua Mulan was bitten by Zhao Junsheng's earlobe, her face was red with shame, and her whole body seemed to have been electrocuted, so she could only barely write down what Zhao Junsheng said, and then immediately pushed him away, and sneered: "Brother Junsheng, you are so bad, how can you do such a rude thing in broad daylight?" What a shame! ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhao Junsheng took advantage of it and was in a comfortable mood, "Okay, did you remember what I just said?" ”

"Well, I made a note of it!"

At dusk, the construction of the fortress was completed, the internal and external works were all completed, the soldiers dismantled all the wooden frames that had been erected, and the fortress seemed to reveal its majestic and hideous side, and the four tall arrow towers around the wall were all shown to the outside world that it had a strong lethality.

After dinner, the sky darkened, and the camp and the fortress under the hill were lively, and in order to celebrate the completion of the fort, Mulan asked the man to cook two large pots of meat, and also took out a few jars of wine that had only been brought over yesterday to reward the soldiers.

While the soldiers in the camp and the fortress were eating and drinking, a gray shadow crept to the hill, and he slowly crawled to the fortress on his stomach, got up under the corner of the fortress, and slowly moved to the small door behind the fortress.

The door of the fortress was closed, but a few rays of light shot out from the crack in the door, and there was the noise of fisting and drinking, and the gray shadow put his eyes into the crack in the door panel, and saw a pile of firewood burning under the left wall of the fort, and a wave of heat came from the crack in the door, and seven or eight soldiers gathered around a table to eat and drink and fight, all of them were red and drunk, and a few were already drunk and fell asleep against the wall.

Gray Shadow thought for a moment, quietly retreated, and turned his head to look into the camp under the hill, where many lights were shining and there were many faint shouts, so he leaned down and left the hillside to touch the camp.

The sound of defense in the camp was relaxed, and the gray shadow easily touched the camp, and after only a brief observation, he noticed where the stables were, where the grain and grass were stored, where the barracks were, and where the commander's tent was.

After a patrol approached, Grey Shadow came to the place where the grain and supplies were stored, where he saw a number of wagons and a large amount of food and other supplies piled up in the tent.

Grey Shadow saw more than sixty horses in the stable, and a dozen bantams, and he was shocked to find that there were so many horses and so many food and grass in a small fortress.

In the middle of the camp there were three large fires, each surrounded by five or six soldiers, who were eating meat and drinking, and at the same time they were saying this loudly.

Seeing this, Gray Shadow quietly retreated and left the camp, and it was not long before he came to the bottom of the mountain forest a few miles north of the hill.

"Captain Ten, find out that there are about thirty-two people there, eight in the fort, and twenty-four in the camp behind the hill, and their camp has a lot of food and supplies that we urgently need, and there are more than sixty horses tethered to the stables! I found out that their fortress had just been built, and it was supposed to be a celebration tonight, and they were all drinking and eating meat, and they were all drunk! ”

The ten-master's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "How about precautions?" ”

"It's slack!" Gray Shadow replied, he was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, and asked, "What do you mean by ······ Ten?"

The Captain of Ten stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of his sword, "This is a rare opportunity, if they were well guarded, we would not have a chance at all, but today when their fortress is built, they are all celebrating and lax, don't they give us an opportunity to take advantage of?" If I don't cherish this opportunity, once I lose it, I will definitely regret it, and you will also blame me, right? ”

"That's right!" A few Rouran detectives next to him immediately chimed in.

One of them said, "Captain, if we destroy these men, we will not only take this fortress, but we will also take their horses, food, and supplies for ourselves!" ”

The ten-division commander was murderous, and his eyes swept over the eight subordinates around him, "Get on the horse, follow me to kill those Xianbei people, and take their fortresses, food, and horses!" ”

The eight scouts saluted the chest of the ten-captain together, turned around and walked to the horses and turned over on the horse, the ten-captain turned his head to look at everyone, and saw that they were all on their horses and ready, raised his hand and waved forward: "Let's go!" ”
