The journey was delayed, and at the end of midsummer, Wei Zeng and his party arrived at the side of Yushan Mountain.

Along the way, several people deliberately accelerated their speed, wanting to reach Yushan as soon as possible, but their whereabouts were exposed, and two female dependents followed, which attracted the arrival of horse thieves and Zhantu people in Mobei.

Fortunately, the name of the Mobei Flying Eagle is very loud on the grassland, and the people who accompany it are all outstanding martial arts, so there is no danger along the way, but the journey along the way has also been delayed.

The Yushan Mountains in the distance are still verdant, and the fields in the north are still green, and everything seems to be peaceful. But Wei Zeng had already learned that when Huang Yufei and the three of them left Yushan, Bai Zheng had already led his troops to attack, and now all the main roads leading to the depths of Yushan had been tightly guarded by the iron-blooded army.

Wei Zeng knew that if his group was surrounded by an iron-blooded army, it would be more than lucky, so he let the group hide their traces and follow some trails into the depths of Yu Mountain.

"It's the Iron Warrior in front! Whether it is a battle on the plains or a duel in the mountains, it will be difficult to deal with, and if our enemy this time is them, it will take a lot of trouble. Wei Zeng looked at the group of soldiers guarding the intersection in front of him, and said with a frown.

"This is Bai Zheng's reorganized warrior, but it is far worse than the iron-blooded warrior back then. I've fought with them, and they don't change at all except for being able to put on the most basic phalanx. Just these few people, Zhao Zhuangshi and I can solve them, but in order to avoid trouble, please ask General Wei to follow me into the mountain on the trail. Huang Yufei replied.

Wei Zeng nodded, and he didn't mean to step forward to fight with the soldiers, and followed Huang Yufei along an unknown path into the deep mountains.

The mountain road was rugged, but people and horses could barely pass, and stepping through one grass and bushes after another, a mountain village appeared in front of Wei Zeng's eyes.

Wei Zeng recognized this place, it turned out that it was the former site of Yanlongzhai here. When the bandits in Yushan were pacified, the first village at the southern foot of Yushan was also the first to be swept away by Wei Zeng, but I didn't expect this place to become the last refuge for the remnants of the Yanbei Righteous Army.

"This place is difficult to defend and difficult to attack, so the ancient commander led us to settle here. However, in order to prevent being surrounded by the enemy on the mountain, we deliberately opened a secret passage in and out of the stockade, and now there are spies of the Iron Army everywhere, and I also ask General Wei to follow me into the stockade through the secret passage. As Huang Yufei spoke, he stepped forward to lead the way.

Just at this moment, there was a sound in the bushes beside several people, and the figure of an iron-blooded soldier appeared.

"You are ......" Before the soldier could react, the Wendi fast sword, which had been vigilant, had already struck out, and the person fell to the ground and died after hearing an ordinary sound.

It was only with the sound of the man falling to the ground that more Predators rushed up from the bushes, threatening to capture a few people.

"Protect General Wei into the village, here we will come to the palace." Zhao Jiahui shouted, and rushed towards the iron-blooded soldier who had killed. Du Feng did not flinch, and met it with his bare hands.

"Wei Zeng! This person is Wei Zeng! Quickly send a message out, killing him is a big achievement. One shouted.

The iron-blooded soldier who was walking at the end heard the shouts of the person in front of him, and hurriedly put his hand on his waist, and a transmitter was about to shoot into the sky. But I only heard this man's scream, and a throwing knife was already inserted in his hand, and the transmitter fell to the ground.

"Do you want to kill me for a reward? Unfortunately, you don't have this blessing anymore. Wei Zeng did not choose to flee, a flying knife stopped the enemy's message, while lifting the steel rod and fighting side by side with several other people.

A few iron-blooded soldiers were naturally not the opponents of Wei Zeng and his party, and after a short time, they were defeated by Wei Zeng and his party, but the deep mountains and dense forests were not conducive to pursuit, so they still let a few people escape.

"Everyone hurry into the village, a few people have run, I am afraid that the enemy's large army will come soon. Inform him to check it and let him take precautions. Wei Zeng saw that no one was injured, so he hurriedly led people to run in the direction of the village, and the whereabouts of several people had been exposed, so he no longer hid it, and ran directly to the gate on the upper post.

When the people in the stockade heard the movement outside, they also stood on the watchtower to investigate downward, and when they saw Wei Zeng's figure, the people in the stockade were very excited, and the door of the stockade was opened in a cheer, and many people came out to greet Wei Zeng.

"Don't block the door, General Wei won't leave when he comes, he wants to lead us to continue to fight the world, brothers, hurry into the village, don't let the enemy in." Huang Yufei shouted loudly.

It turned out that when the people in the village warmly welcomed Wei Zeng's arrival, the shadow of the iron-blooded army had already appeared in the mountains and forests in the distance.

There are not many people who come out, but the hill is very narrow, and nearly 100 people are blocked together.

In order to prevent Wei Zeng from being in danger, Huang Yufei and Zhao Jiahui protected Wei Zeng behind them, forced a way out of the crowd, and entered the stockade. By the time the Predator army reached the base of the stockade, all preparations were ready.

Seeing that the gate of the fortress was closed, the people in the fortress were also waiting for it, and after several rounds of heavy crossbow volleys, they did not attack the fortress, but camped under the mountain.

"Wei Zeng, it's great that you can come, brother, I miss you very much. Don't worry, my stockade is very strong, and even more people will not want to take it. Let's go in and talk about it. Gu Cha was very happy to see Wei Zeng, stood on the wall and glanced down, and then pulled Wei Zeng into the house nonchalantly.

"We have time to narrate, and now it's more important to respond to the enemy. I think the enemy's posture is to besiege us, and I am afraid that more people will come, so we must prepare well. Wei Zeng gently pushed Gu Chayi's hand away, and then said.

"It's also said that as long as the enemy is repulsed, we have time to tell. I see that you can't rest assured, so I'll take you around the stockade, and tell you about the situation in the stockade by the way. Gu Cha replied.

"There are only so many brothers left who fought with us back then, and they are willing to follow us to the end, so we should also be responsible for them to the end. Take me around! Wei Zeng patted Gu Chayi on the shoulder and said.

Gu Cha looked at Wei Zeng, as if he had returned to the days when he first met him. In those days, his father was killed by robbers, and his heart was completely hesitant to lose his backbone, but there was a calm and assertive friend with him, as if there was nothing to be afraid of in all unknowable futures.

Now that he is reunited with his friends, his gaze is still calm, but a little less hard as steel, and a little more compassion like flowing water. With Wei Zeng, the thousands of troops outside the cottage are as if they do not exist, and the people in the cottage are also full of confidence in the future.

Gu Chayi took Wei Zeng to walk around in the cottage, the cottage is built on the mountain, the east and west sides are steep cliffs, only the north and south sides of the high hills, there are two gates in and out of the cottage. The village stretches more than two miles from north to south, but there are only less than two hundred meters from east to west, on the long and narrow wall, there is a platform standing guard every 100 meters, six watchtowers are in the middle of the four corners of the stockade and the east and west sides of the wall, no matter day or night, there are people guarding the watchtower.

Wei Zeng went all the way and saw that the design of the village was very good, which showed that Gu Chayi had also made great efforts.

"The hill in front of you makes a lot of siege equipment ineffective, and the steep terrain can also become a nightmare for infantry attacks. The defense of the stockade is very good, as long as you are careful, it will not be a problem to deal with more enemies. But I saw that most of the villages were where people lived, and there was no land around them that could be cultivated, so in the long run, wouldn't there be a problem with food supply? Wei Zeng asked.

"You're on the point. I chose this place because it was a dangerous terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. But who would have thought that the river is under the mountain, and there is no vacant land around, it has become a problem to feed yourself. Later, I wanted to build a few stockades in the surrounding area, move people there, and plant some land at will to solve the problem of food shortage, but in the past few years, there have been constant wars, and there are often enemies coming, but nothing has been accomplished. It is all up to the brothers to work hard and grab food from the tiger's mouth, so that we can survive until now. Gu Chayi said.

"Don't be in a hurry, as long as you repel the enemy and want to live, you will always find a way. I took a look at the granary, and the grain in reserve can still support it for a while, and as long as there is grain in stock, people's hearts will not panic. Summoning the generals to the council hall, let's discuss it and see how we can repel the Predators as quickly as possible. Wei Zeng understood the situation in the village, and he also had a measure in his heart, how to find a way out for these veterans, Wei Zeng already had a vague idea in his heart.

On the way back to the meeting hall, Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi continued to discuss some things, and when they passed by a room, they saw two children playing next to the house.

"Wei Zeng, I forgot to tell you, this kid is my son Songyin. Songyin is coming over and meeting you, Uncle Wei. Gu Chayi greeted with a smile.

"Back then, it was a small thing, but now it's so big, and in a few years, it will definitely be a hero again." Wei Zeng said with a smile.

"If you don't become a talent, you won't become a talent, I don't like to read like I did back then, I only like to dance and play sticks, but I will definitely not starve to death in the future." Although Gu Cha said this, the smile on his face never fell when he heard his son being praised, and it could be seen that he was very happy.

"That kid is ......" Wei Zeng asked as he looked at the other kid standing aside, whose face seemed familiar.

"That's Yu Chaogui's son, Yu Chaogui died early, their mother and son are very pitiful, so I will let Xiuxiu take good care of them." Gu Cha replied.

"Yu Lianjing, I didn't misremember your name." Wei Zeng stepped forward and said lovingly.

"General Wei is good. My mother has always told me that General Wei is a big hero, and when I grow up, I want to be a big hero like General Wei. Yu Lian said in surprise.

"Heroes or mortals are just like that, as long as you can let the people you care about in your heart can live happily and happily, you can have no regrets. As long as you want, you can reap the prosperity in the future, but I only hope that you can get the fruit after the prosperity. Wei Zeng said.

"What General Wei said, I don't understand!" Yu Lian blinked in surprise and asked.

"It's okay if you don't understand now. You remember that as long as you honor your mother well and sincerely help everyone in the village, when you grow up, you will be a great hero. When you grow up, you can go to Yishan to find me, and you will naturally understand when the time comes. Wei Zeng said with a smile.

"Wei Zeng, after so many years, you still can't let go?" Gu Chayi let the two children leave, and then said to Wei Zeng.

"Life is in a hurry, there are countless people who have met and met, but there are only a few people who can always be concerned in their hearts, if you forget those people who are concerned, what am I doing in this life? A prosperous life, after all, goes with the wind; There are only fruits left, how many people are left? Without further ado, let's go to the council hall and talk about how to deal with the Predators. Wei Zeng didn't say anything more, and went straight to the meeting hall.

When Gu Chayi took Wei Zeng to inspect the village, he had already asked someone to notify the generals to go. When Wei Zeng and Gu Cha entered the meeting hall, everyone came.

The former commander of the Guanshan Army, the fierce general of the horse team yesterday, everything seems to have returned to the years when the iron horse Jingo fought on the battlefield. But Wei Zeng understands that the past has passed after all, and what he has lost will not come back after all, he has no thoughts about dominating the world now, and just wants to see that the soldiers who are still alive in the end can live to the end.

As soon as Wei Zeng and Gu Cha walked to the center of the lobby, they did it separately, and everyone looked at Wei Zeng, as if the hope for the coming day was on Wei Zeng alone.

"You have also seen it, I have invited your General Wei back. My Gu Chayi has limited ability and can't lead everyone to live a good life, but my brother Wei is a capable person, as long as he is in us, he will definitely be able to reproduce the glory of that day. Gu Chayi said in public.

"General Wei is mighty! The Ancient Ruler is mighty! The generals said in unison.

"The first thing to do now is to repel the Iron Army, and the second is to settle down the families in the stockade so that everyone can have no worries about food and clothing. The way you used to make a living was too dangerous, and it won't work in the long run. But don't worry, I, Wei Zeng, will definitely share weal and butter with you, and deal with all difficulties together, whether it is the iron-blooded army or any natural or man-made disaster, we can't stop us from taking half a step. Wei Zeng said.

"As long as General Wei is here, we will definitely be able to regain Shifeng City, and we can also recapture the entire Yanbei, and everyone will be able to live a good life by then." The generals responded one after another.

"I'm not going to take you to attack Stone Wind City, Stone Wind City is very strong, and now it is heavily guarded by Bai Regular Marshal with heavy troops, so it is not something we can overcome. I'm going to take you north. Of course, everything must be done first to drive away the enemy in front of you. Wei Zeng said. (To be continued.) )
