Soon, the backbone of the officers of the Ninth Army Corps had been finalized, Bu Chengan served as the corps commander, Wei Wenyan served as the deputy corps commander, and the rest of the military commanders were all arranged by themselves one by one, and Zhuang Fudi no longer cared. The staff system was also quickly formed under the attention of Zhuang Fudi, and at this time, the Ninth Army was carrying out urgent drills in Wuwei County, and the exercise ground, which had been neglected for a long time, was noisy again, and the soldiers were training on the exercise ground to face the targeted training of the Eastern Turks and the Liang Shidu army.

Zhuang Fudi saw that the Ninth Army was already in its infancy, and he could only wait for the completion of training before he could put it into the battlefield, so he no longer focused too much on the Ninth Army and began to arrange a defensive line in Wuwei County. According to Zhuang Fudi's plan, the entire Wuwei County should be built into a huge defensive fortress, with the various villages and towns scattered in Wuwei County as the support point, and the army of Wuwei County as the main force to encircle, suppress and harass the enemy army.

So Zhuang Fudi and Li Wen met, and Li Wen spent a lot of money to mobilize almost all the craftsmen in Wuwei County to assist Zhuang Fudi in starting to build fortifications in Wuwei County. Numerous bluestone towers were built on the outskirts of each village, in which sufficient quantities of water, food, medicine, bows, arrows, muskets, and fire bottles were stored.

These bluestone towers are a ring of outer defense that Zhuang Fudi added to the villages and towns as support points, and there is a long bridge at the top that can be lowered to lead directly to the city wall, and the bluestone towers can only be collected and released from the bluestone towers, and the bluestone towers cannot be reached from the side of the city wall.

Hidden tunnels were dug underground in each village and town for the people to take refuge in wartime and avoid being injured by the enemy during street fighting. Zhuang Fudi set up a lot of hidden caves in the tunnel, which were equipped with spears to resist the enemy from penetrating the tunnel after discovering the entrance.

And after the end of the harvest, Wuwei County is already a thousand miles of plain, Zhuang Fudi's busyness is to turn this plain into a labyrinth, a large number of identical or similar references are placed on the entire plain intentionally or unintentionally, so that people always feel a sense of déjà vu at a glance, and Zhuang Fudi got a large number of magnets in Li Wenyuan's hands, so that people who don't know the entire array can only rely on the new compass after coming in will also be invalid, As long as the army is caught in the formation, it will be like a headless fly crashing around, and it can only be gradually consumed by the defenders in the formation under the walls everywhere.

Zhuang Fudi looked at the drawings in his hand, and after repeatedly confirming that there was nothing wrong, he went to the field under the leadership of the craftsman to carefully consider the construction of the site, and confirmed that the construction everywhere was being built in accordance with the style drawn in the drawings, which was a relief, as long as there was this big array, the worst result would be to drag the time backwards, until the reinforcements from elsewhere came to Wuwei County, and after gathering the troops that already had some numerical advantages in their hands, Then conduct one or more battles with the invading enemy to completely defeat them, drive them out of Wuwei County, and even chase the routed troops all the way back to the lair of Liang Shidu, and directly take Lingwu County and Shuofang County.

The big array has been laid down, Zhuang Fudi is in the county town of Wuwei County at this time, watching the construction team composed of ants-like people outside the county town is carrying the materials in an orderly manner, and he has some confidence in his chest, and he begins to have a trace of hope and passionate longing for the war in the near future.

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the Ninth Army has become well-trained under the training of Bu Cheng'an, although it is still a little far from the elite, and even from the army standard required by Li Wenyuan, but at this time, Zhuang Fudi has no choice, so he can only push these recruits to the battlefield in the hope that they can withstand the baking of war on the battlefield, and slowly become a soldier on the battlefield, and even become an elite.

At this time, the army of the Eastern Turks had already gone to Lingwu County, and Shibi Khan no longer vomited blood at this time, but his body was still a little weak, so he just sat on horseback and handed over the command of the army to Tuoba Shishu for full management, and from a distance, the city wall of Lingwu County could already be seen.

At this time, Liang Shidu had already ordered his subordinates to clean the water and splash the streets, the loess mat road, and clean up the city, and he himself took the civil and military officials out of the city for fifty miles to welcome the arrival of the Eastern Turkic army.

"Dadu Viga Khan Liang Shidu, meet my father Khan. May Tengger bless your health, and may the Turks prosper forever. Liang Shidu was far away, and he said to Shibi Khan's car with a deep salute.

Liang Shidu said that he also had mixed feelings in his heart, and calling a Hu people outside the Saiwai people in front of the public was really a loss of face, and he had to do this, after all, he now had to ask for the Eastern Turks, so he had to make such an inferior gesture. But Liang Shidu is relatively lucky, after all, the customs and etiquette of the Eastern Turks are very different from those in the interior of the Central Plains, so at this time, Liang Shidu does not need to bow three times and bow nine times like the Central Plains Dynasty, but only need to bow the most solemnly for the grassland people, so he still retains some face.

"Dadu Viga Khan, Shibi Khan is sick, so he can't come to receive your gift in person, so I will receive you, do you want to go to the city to speak?" Tuoba Shi Shu rode his horse to Liang Shidu, turned over and dismounted, helped Liang Shidu and said.

Liang Shidu also knew a little about what happened to the Eastern Turkic army under the Great Wall at this time, and he said to his henchmen in private more than once: "The Eastern Turks are just steppe barbarians with a bloody brute force, and they are not good at scheming, so apart from these things, the Eastern Turks do not have to worry." Just this time, their stupidity could be seen in the attack they launched on Li Wenyuan's Great Wall defense line. Since the date of completion, the Great Wall has been used to prevent the grassland people, after thousands of years of repair and addition, especially after the repair of Yang Jian and Yang Guang's two generations of the strongest national strength, the Great Wall at this time has already been built into a copper wall, even if it is a million people are difficult to conquer the natural danger, at this time they just want to fight for breath, is to directly choose to give up their best horseback, and instead use their worst attack board to hit Li Wenyuan's most solid barrier, this kind of egg to hit the stone, And only those Turkic barbarians in the steppes can do it. ”

But these things can only rot in the stomach, and he still needs to lead the Eastern Turks to defeat Li Wenyuan's defenses, so that he can follow the Eastern Turks to share some soup and water.
