Yu Lie stood in front of the window, the world outside the window appeared in the eyes one by one, military fortresses are generally built in dangerous places, and the fortress of the tenth day is no exception, this place is a natural mountain beam, the front and back are endless plains, looking at the extreme, you can see a few cooking smoke rising in the distance, and occasionally there is a loud song wafting over, that is the song of civilians and slaves working in the fields.

Since it is a strong military fortress, and it is claimed to never fall, then there should be no less, the city wall as high as 12 zhang, the towering arrow tower, the vast barracks, the spacious stables, and the large and well-guarded granary, and even, you can see a lot of civilians coming and going in those vertical and horizontal streets. Don't underestimate these civilians, they are in the plains before and after the fortress, those fields are very fertile, they can keep an endless supply of food into the granary, so as to ensure that the fortress has a strong combat power.

However, all of this is before it never falls.

Now, as far as the eye can see, the rising sun in the east is like a big ball of fire, exuding infinite light and heat above the oblique fortress of the tenth day, under its illumination, the whole fortress is half dim, half dark, those dim places are full of dilapidated scenes, half of the collapsed city walls, loosely tied rolling logs, badly damaged wolf's tooth arrows, and the arrow tower is still the same, the whole fortress originally had sixteen arrow towers, now there are only eight left, and most of them are missing arrow battlements, and even, some towers have been deeply sunken in, some covered with cobweb-like cracks. The barracks were vast, but the scattered tents could be counted on your fingers, and there were no horses in the stables, only muddy sewage and rats roaming around. And this is the better place, and the dark places are even more unbearable, with broken walls and debris everywhere, and the trauma from the fire.

The glory of the past is gone, and now the fortress is scarred.

Before coming, Yu Lie thought that it was not as majestic as the rumors, but he didn't expect it to be such a tragic scene, this once made Yu Guo proud, spread all over the land of Zhongzhou, the world's first fortress is like a twilight hero, because of the baptism of the vicissitudes of time, is growing old. The first thing he did after coming to the fortress was to gather all the civilians and slaves, and select the strong ones from among them to repair the city walls, and those who knew carpentry skills to repair the wolf tooth arrows and arrow towers, and the women sewed and mended the rotten tents left by the defenders in the past, after all, they could not let 1,500 warriors sleep in the wilderness, which would greatly reduce their combat effectiveness, as for the children, Yu Lie did not let them go, They can help chase away the rats that are scurrying around the stables.

After these orders were issued, everyone in the fortress looked at him in amazement.

An old man with rotten wood said, "General, the world has been peaceful recently, and there is no need to repair the fortress. ”

Yu Lie replied: "It won't be peaceful soon. If you don't want to be burned by the fire, if you don't want your head stuck in the tip of your halberd, then give all your strength and piety. As he said this, Yu Lie pointed to the dwellings that had been burned down for most of the year, and there was a foul smell floating for many years, the smell of fire mixed with the smell of rancidity, and even the horses would keep snorting when they rode through it. And this is all due to the cruelty of war.

Yu Lie is only a fifth-class baron of Yan Kingdom, he is not a great god of Haotian, he can't prevent the war from happening by himself, all he can do is to win the war and let himself survive, and to win the war, you must pay attention to every detail that can affect the war, this is Yan Qixi's teaching. And so, the whole fortress moved, like a giant who had been sleeping for a hundred years was getting up from the mud, and even though it was staggering and coughing, it was no longer lying on the ground for slaughter.

With the help of a half-grown boy, he put on his heavy armor, Yu Lie walked out of the only building in the fortress that was still intact, this is the lord's mansion, of course, he came here not to see the scenery, nor to have special treatment, but because there is a map of the fort of the Ten Thousand Days, as well as a rough map within a radius of a hundred miles, although the date on the corner of the map is the twenty-eighth year of King Wuying, more than three hundred years have passed, and the mountains and rivers are changing, but knowing that the other side can be a hundred and hundred, something is better than nothing.

Pedal up the city wall along the zigzag staircase, the hem of the golden dragon dragging the sawdust on the dirt floor.

Dense crowds of people were climbing up and down the city wall, and from time to time they heard bursts of shouting, and the slaves under the slave traders, the one who could make walking wooden oxen, was also among them, and he made some strange plays, such as wooden dogs that could carry arrows and walk freely on the uneven city walls, and a new type of stone throwing machine, which had more bearings than the old stone throwing machine, but lost a lot of weight, and the number of people was reduced from six to three people to operate. For example, he hung some long-handled shovels on the battlements of the city wall, which were three feet long and had a sharp blade, and the defenders hid behind the battlements and raised them from side to side, so that all the enemies who climbed up the ladder could be shoveled into flesh. Moreover, he dug some pits under the city walls, and placed large tanks in them, which, according to him, could serve as a vigilance if the enemy wanted to dig a tunnel.

The slave lord was pleased with this, and assigned him thirty young commoners and slaves for him to drive, and exempted him from his slave status. The young slave, however, cared no further than such an honor, and was on the verge of euphoria when he had been busy all day, forgetting to sleep or eat.

Disciples of the Mo family, extinct nobles.

Two hundred years ago, when the wars of the princes had strict and ceremonial regulations, most of them were carried out in the wilderness, first of all, they counted each other's injustices, and then each sent a chariot to duel, and the victor was naturally the righteous side, and then took the opportunity to fight to the death against the enemy. But now it is different, because the world is in turmoil, with the rise of the children of soldiers, the war is becoming more and more weird, both the army fights in the wilderness, and there are also sieges and lands. If there is a siege, there is a defense of the city, if you talk about the art of defending the city, the world is big, the Mo family is called the second, and no one dares to call it the first.

This young slave named Fu Li is a member of the Mo family, how can a member of the Mo family be a slave? In fact, it is not surprising at all, if Yu Lie hadn't met the great divine doctor of Weida, how could the old divine doctor Qin Yue accept him as the righteous son of the moth? If you are helpless, you may become a slave because of your unknown origin. People in the world, things in the world, everyone has their own fate, this concubine is worse than Yu Lie, he was originally a nobleman, his father was the viscount Shangqing, but this Shangqing killed his own feudal monarch, and privately called himself a marquis, which provoked the anger of Yonggong, showed his father's head to the public, and demoted him to a slave. Fortunately, he met Yu Lie.

Suddenly, Yu Lie remembered a person who had made it his lifelong wish to unify the world. This person is none other than Yu Lie's junior brother Qige. Now, His Royal Highness, the prince of Qi, has returned to Qi, thinking that as long as his father dies, he will become the king of Qi, and at that time, he will fulfill the promise he made after getting drunk, for the unification of the world, war will be inevitable, in order to prevent the war, and return the world to peace, only the world will be unified.

War and peace?

Yu Lie smiled.

At this time, Ziche Yu walked down from the half-repaired arrow tower, and looked side by side with Yu Lie at the plain outside the fortress, this middle-aged lord has experienced a hundred battles, and his body exudes the smell of iron and blood, but he is a veteran oilman, and he can't see the slightest nervousness on his face, he touched Yu Lie's shoulder: "General Feng, you tell the truth, let's repair the fortress now, is it too late?" ”

"It's not that it's not in time, it's that we don't have a choice." Yu Lie smiled, the whole army of 1,500 people had to call Yu Lie General Fengda, after all, this slave trader was defending the city for others.

Zi Cheyu raised his eyebrows, the sun shone on the wound on his eyebrow bone, the wound had already healed, but it left an indelible mark, he smiled: "Yes, the army of the princes is still halfway, and the war will not be completed in any year or month, and the real general Feng has left Chaoge City for three months, but there is still no news, the ghost knows, when will he be able to go to the fortress of the tenth day, if he does not come, won't we have to guard until after the war Chu?" ”

"What, you're scared?"

Yu Lie turned his head and stared at Zicheyu: "It may be a year and a half, and it is very likely that you will never be able to go back." "Now that he is the main general, he has to worry about the morale and morale of the army, and after seeing such a dilapidated fortress, what kind of mentality of his lieutenant general is very important.

"Ha, ha."

Zicheyu did not disappoint Yu Lie, he laughed loudly, laughed extremely exaggeratedly, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and said proudly: "The blood of the Yan people is iron, and the Yan people have never been afraid of war and life and death. As he spoke, he looked at Yu Lie very seriously, lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice: "Yan people are fearless." ”

"Yan people are fearless."

Yu Lie responded to him, but his heart was in a trance, even though he was already half a Yan person, he often heard the four words that represented the Yan people's temperament, but every time he heard it, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he heard it for the first time, that was also on a battlefield, Yan Eighteen said when he climbed into the chariot, Yan people are not afraid. At that time, he was still in Anguo Shaotai, a fool who was disliked by everyone, but he was also a marquis, he had Xiaoyu by his side and Song Rang, a coachman. Where are they now, Song Kingdom? Thinking, thinking, his gaze was sometimes gentle, sometimes cold.

The red sun climbed to the top of the arrow tower, shining on the golden five-clawed golden dragon banner.

There is more and more smoke in the distance, but because it is too far away, you can't see half a figure, a row of northern geese screaming and flying overhead, it is a strong summer, they will fly nearly 10,000 miles, until the south of the big river, where they spend the warm winter safely.

Zi Cheyu raised his head and roared at the group of geese in the sky, this roar scared the group of geese into disorder, and the cry was even sharper, but he laughed out loud: "Yu, General Feng, in your opinion, who will fight with us?" ”

Yu Lie said: "No matter who comes, they are all enemies. ”

"Yes." The middle-aged lord liked Yu Lie's straightforwardness very much, and touched his shoulder: "When will they come?" ”

"Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's now."

"Now?"

Zicheyu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, but found nothing, and said angrily: "There is no ghost shadow, where is the enemy?" ”

Yu Lie said: "When you see it, there will be ghosts." ”

"Haha......"
