After the hard work of Qi Lao and the craftsmen day and night, two days later, the new city gate has been completed and installed on the east and west gates, and the people are happily talking about something around the east gate. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw that this city gate and the original temporary city gate is also very different, is made of good red pine wood, in order to be harder, Qi Lao thickened the city gate to eight meters, at this time the general city gate thickness is between twelve and eighteen meters, according to the "Historical Records" records that the depth of the north city gate of the ancient city of Songpan is 30 meters, which is particularly thick.

Now Xiao Yi's fort is not large due to the depth of the city wall, so it can only place this gate with a depth of eight meters at most.

The city gate is still breaded with iron leaves, wrapped in a layer of copper skin, and 999 copper nails are nailed on the copper skin, which is the standard city gate of the Ming Dynasty.

Outside the city gate, two stone lions were placed yesterday in a hurry, and according to traditional customs, the pair of lions is a male on the left and a female on the right. It can also be distinguished from what the lion steps on, and the ball under the hoof symbolizes the unity of the universe and the supreme right, and it must be a lion.

In the Tang Dynasty, only emperors could be used, but in the Song and Ming dynasties, there were no such restrictions, and many wealthy families were two stone lions in front of the door to symbolize dignity.

Under the hooves of the lion cub is a symbol of the continuation of offspring, which is a female lioness. If the stone where the lion squats is carved with a phoenix and a peony, the king of birds and the king of flowers, it is called "the lion of the three kings". At this time, there is also the southern lion and the northern lion, the northern lion is majestic and majestic, and the southern lion is lively and interesting.

The same is true of Simon.

On the city gate, three big characters are hung high, "Yong'an Fort". Especially some of the military households who originally came to Tuntian Xingbao with Xiao Yi were all crying happily and hugging each other. They watched as the fort was built little by little, and at first there was nothing but three dilapidated tiled houses, but now these are all the result of everyone's efforts.

These feelings for the people are very deep, and they feel more at home.

"My lord, the city gate has caused a lot of repercussions." Shi Lu happily walked into Xiao Yi's house, and Xiao Yi and Huang Yang were all here to discuss.

When Huang Yang and the others saw Shi Lu coming in, they all nodded, but they didn't say anything, and they didn't have a trace of joy. When Shi Lu saw everyone's expressions, he knew what was going on, and asked, "But what happened again?" ”

Xiao Yi nodded, "Yesterday, the Wang Guan team brought bad news. ”

Shi Lu looked at Xiao Yi's somewhat angry expression, and his face was no longer excited, "Isn't it a Tartar calling?" ”

Xiao Yi glanced at Shi Lu and nodded, "Speaking of which, it's not a big group of Tartars, only about twenty." "This group of Tartars was chased by the Guanning army during the BJ defense battle, and they only knew how to escape, and they were one of the ones that were separated from the army, and these scattered Tartars also had Jurchens, and more were Mongols.

They were scattered in the land of Gyeonggi, and some of them fled into Xuanfu, and this small group of Tartars was one of them, but they did not encounter any effective resistance in Xuanfu, and Xuanfu was rampant due to the rout, and most of the town guards and generals in various places closed their eyes and ignored it.

As a result, although the Tartars were defeated, they were still extremely arrogant, and along the way, these two dozen Tartars plundered several villages, hundreds of cattle and sheep, and more than 20 households of the people.

A few days ago, this batch of Tartars occupied Xiaowutai Mountain, and found the gathering place of the horsemen on Xiaowutai Mountain, which was directly occupied.

Liu Yiming, the defender of Peach Blossom Castle, knew these things for a long time, but no one wanted to care about the Tartars, and there were more than 20 fierce and vicious Tartars, so that people were afraid when they heard it, and who would go to find themselves unhappy.

But with the news coming a few days ago, Liu Yiming couldn't sit still.

The Tartars did not stop after occupying the Little Wutai Mountain, but had descended the previous night to the village below the mountain, which had not plundered once. The Tartars did not care about this, and went down the mountain to slaughter them, and according to several villagers who had fled, there were no living people in the village anymore.

This gang of Tartars has one man and two horses, and they kill anyone they see. They smashed things and killed people from house to house, whether it was an elderly man in the twilight or a baby in swaddling clothes, as long as they saw it, no one could run away.

Overnight, more than 200 people from more than 50 households in the village under Xiaowutai Mountain were almost all slaughtered, and only a few people cleverly escaped at night and returned to Peach Blossom Castle.

After the defense officer Liu Yiming knew about this, he knew that it was a big deal, and he could ignore the small fights, and more than 50 households in the entire village were slaughtered, and it was inevitable to blame them if he could exterminate these Tartars and make meritorious atonement to protect the position of the defense officer, this son is now remembered by many people.

For the sake of his official position, Liu Yiming immediately summoned all the hundreds of households, villages and towns under Peach Blossom Castle, and even each dun guard had to have at least one person. And Wang Changliang, the manager of Changning Town, is going to send out 30 people, and Li Zhen, the team officer, is going to send 20 people, Wang Changliang knows that Xiao Yi has more than 60 soldiers here, so yesterday he called someone to tell Xiao Yi that he hoped he could help.

Xiao Yi is ready to stay in Huangyang to deal with the matter of Tunbao, Wang Dayong is still with the night team to explore the surrounding terrain, and the area where Tuntian can be made, Xiao Yi is ready to come back and immediately carry out Tuntian, now the weather is not so cold, and the terrain can be reclaimed in March.

He was going to take Shi Lu, Shi Gang, Liu Tong and the four teams to Changning Town to meet Wang Changliang.

After deciding, Xiao Yi proposed after the end of the training on this day, everyone was very excited after listening to it, especially the veterans, everyone was idle after practicing for so long, and the birds came out, and they could finally kill the Tartars again.

The recruits were also very itchy, but after hearing that it was actually a Tartar, they were all a little scared, and most of their enthusiasm disappeared at once, and no one dared to sign up, and everyone's fear of the Tartar was still too great.

Xiao Yi looked at everyone helplessly, "Tartars are not as terrible as you have heard, they have three heads and six arms, and they are as powerful as tigers. They are also human beings and will die. ”

"My lord, take us and continue to kill the Tartars! I haven't killed enough of Jingshi that time! One veteran laughed. The rest of the veterans also stepped forward one after another and signed up without hesitation.

"Yes, I still have to avenge my mother-in-law."

The recruits watched the veterans talk and laugh, and it didn't seem to be fake at all. I muttered in my heart, aren't these people afraid at all, but there are more than two dozen Tartars.

A recruit hesitated for a long time, and finally came out with a sword and shield, his face flushed with excitement, "My lord, I'll follow you!" Xiao Yi looked over and saw that it was the recruit who saved his father a few days ago.

Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, and Che He said loudly, "Big guy, we've been practicing for so long, it's time to repay the adult." Adults save my father, I should die for adults! ”

When the recruits heard this, a few more people came out and shouted.

"The adults give my wife food and shelter, and I should die for the adults!"

"The adults saved my whole family from fire and water, and I should die for the adults!"

The recruits thought that what Xiao Yi had done these days was for himself and his family, and that night Xiao Yi led the veterans out to fight to the death against more than 80 horse thieves regardless of his own safety, and Xiao Yi, as a Shangguan, could do the same.

How can I be greedy for life and afraid of death, all because of my own shameful behavior, my parents and family will be ashamed of themselves when they hear it!

They all stepped forward to follow, but Xiao Yi couldn't bring them all out, seeing that everyone's fighting spirit was so high, Xiao Yi had to bring out half of the six teams, and the selected recruits were all excited and their hands trembled, and when they returned home and told their families, their families were very happy to hear it.

That night, Xiao Yi thought in the room that the first battle after the establishment of this Tunbao was against the Tartars, and this battle was very important, and it could not be defeated no matter what.

But last time it was to defend the city, this time it was to attack from the back, which is completely different. And last time it was led by Lu Xiangsheng, and this time Liu Yiming Xiao is not very familiar with it, but compared to Lu Xiangsheng, it must be far worse, and the difficulty is naturally straight up.

At this time, not to mention the field battle of the same number, it is said that there are thousands of border soldiers and Ming troops, and they are often beaten by hundreds of Tartars who lose their armor and flee in embarrassment.

Xiao Yi is really not optimistic about the guards here, the defense of the city is acceptable, attacking Xiaowutai Mountain, the Tartars can take advantage of the mountain to rush down, I am afraid that it will depend on their own people at that time.

Xiao Yi didn't fall asleep this night, and woke up several times, for some reason, this time he was even more nervous than the last time. Maybe it's because the last time I was familiar with history, I naturally had a bottom in my heart, but this time it's completely up to me.
