On the city wall of the monolithic fortress of the Kaiping Weizhi Guard, which was completely rammed with loess, the banner was violently waved against the oncoming cold wind, and the soldiers on the head wore cotton robes, leather armor outside, and spears in their hands, standing behind the female wall, vigilantly looking at the plain between the two rivers under the city.

The turbid water of the Huanglong River and the clear water of the Qinglong River are all roaring and galloping, precisely because of these two natural barriers, plus the Dushikou Fort and one side is built according to the Spider Mountain, it can be said that it is a dangerous place for one husband to pass, and ten thousand people can not open.

If the tile spur comes to attack, it can only be forcefully attacked, in a word, it can only be filled with human lives, but Tian Kun, who is standing on the top of the city tower and leading hundreds of households and personal soldiers to inspect, is full of worry at this moment.

A Qianhu beside him also had a very heavy expression: "General, in the past ten days, the Tile Spur Scout Cavalry outside the fort has become more and more frequent. I don't know what Wu meant by commanding them, so far, there are not ten but seven or eight messengers we have sent, but so far we have not seen any reinforcements. ”

"Hmph, it's okay if there are no reinforcements, our Wu commander also came to reprimand us, saying that now I Daming shook hands with the tile spur and made peace, the tile spur surrendered willingly, there will be a war, and let us not make a fuss, and warn us not to provoke the border. Fuck me. A deputy Qianhu couldn't help but angrily burst into a foul language.

"Hmph, it's just a few shrunken turtles from Beijing, damn, I really don't know how these dogs climbed on our heads. Hiding in the half-wall shop fort is not over, and half of our defenders have been siphoned off. If the tile spurs really want to attack, how can we defend it? ”

Everyone was there one by one, whispering and complaining, and Tian Kun's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. "That's enough, no matter how much more birds are used, our responsibility is to guard the Dushikou Fort, could it be that if there are less than half of the soldiers, we will not be used?!"

"If the Wa Thorn people really attack my Dushikou Fort, with these more than 1,000 soldiers, we can at least support a few days, this is only half a day away from the half of the shop fort, and then send someone to report to Wu to command them, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they dare to watch us fight with the tile thorns in the Dushikou Fort without moving." Tian Kun turned his head, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice. On his face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, there was a hideous scar that ran from the left temple to the chin, making the expression on his face look extremely hideous.

-------------------- everyone could only shut their mouths stupidly and continued to follow Tian Kun around the city. When he arrived at the wall of the north gate and looked at the endless golden plain, Tian Kun couldn't help but take a deep breath, his brother and his niece were now separated from his yin and yang.

Standing here, it seems that he can still see that when he was a year old, his brother, who had been wounded several times, took off his armor and took the lead, brandishing the sword full of gaps and leading the guards to rush towards the soldiers who poured into the mouth of the monolith fort like a torrent, with hideous faces and blood-devouring soldiers.

And the scar on his face, is left by that battle, after he killed three tile spur soldiers in a row, he was slashed on the front door by a knife that came from nowhere, and he fell unconscious, until late at night, he crawled out of the pile of dead people, and was later rescued by several Ming soldiers who were lucky to survive, at that time, he knew that his niece had also gone with his brother.

Although the monolithic fort was destroyed, almost all the soldiers defending the fort were killed, but it left nearly 3,000 corpses of Mongolian Tatars, so that the tile spur also tasted powerful, so the tile spur army was ashamed and indignant to almost dismantle the entire monolith fort into ruins.

However, it is precisely because of this that Yang Hong led the army to the side, and the Tile Spur army, which had no danger to defend, could only evacuate here in a huff, so that the Ming Dynasty had time to reoccupy this place and rebuild the Dushikou Fort.

"Brother, good niece, don't worry, the monolithic fortress you guarded with your life, as long as I am alive, I will not let those Mongolian Tatars occupy this place." Tian Kun's big calloused hand stroked the rammed wall like a solid stone, and said silently in his heart. "May the spirits of you two in heaven protect us and ......"

Seeing that Tian Kun was standing there with a sigh on his face, everyone behind him did not speak with a tacit understanding, because they knew very well what Tian Kun was thinking, and after a while, Tian Kun regained his spirits, turned his head to Qianhu, who was the first to speak at the beginning, and asked, "When was the scout horse sent out today?" ”

"General Yutian, he was sent at the turn of the day today, and according to the usual practice, he should be back at this time." The Senhu looked up at the position of the sun and replied with an estimate.

"Somebody, let's take a look, what time is noon?" Hearing this, Tian Kun, who turned his face and squinted his eyes and tried to observe the horizon, asked again. "I think I'm going back at noon, right?"

"Exactly, every day I go back to the fort around a quarter of noon." The Qianhu nodded and hurriedly spoke. It didn't take much effort, and the pro-soldier who ran to see the timer drip ran back: "General, it's two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon?" When Tian Kun heard this, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink. "Zhao Qianhu, immediately send the detective horse detective out of the fort to see if you can meet the detective, if there is anything abnormal halfway, report it immediately, without delay."

"The last general obeys, and this will be done." Zhao Qianhu couldn't help but solemnly clench his fists and obey the order, and then quickly turned around and ran down the city tower, and with a lot of effort, several horses rushed out from under the fort and rushed towards the plain between the two rivers.

"I hope nothing happens......" Tian Kun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scouts who were galloping away. But the uneasiness in my heart is getting deeper and deeper.

"General, would you like to go back to your home and take a break for lunch first? If there is an incident, the last general will send someone to report to the general. A hundred households next to him spoke.

"It's okay, just wait here a little longer, and by the way, someone will bring some food, and we'll use it here." Tian Kun waved his hand impatiently. The most important thing is that at this very time, after the detective rode out, he didn't return on time, which really made Tian Kun extra worried.

A group of military generals sat in the simple humble city tower on the north gate of the monolithic fortress, hastily ate a lunch, and then drank the tea handed by the soldiers, chatted with each other, and looked up at the distant horizon from time to time, the longer the time dragged on, the more heavy everyone's mood became, and even a few people could not sit still, and they were irritable with the war knife on their waists, swaying in the city tower, and the sound of the collision and friction of the armor pieces was extraordinarily harsh.

-------------------- "Huh? Tian Kun, who was staring at the drip timer inside the city tower, let out a sound of surprise for some reason. Everyone looked at Tian Kun's face with a look of surprise, and saw that Tian Kun suddenly got up, walked to the side of the drip timer, and opened the head of the water tank containing clean water, and the others couldn't help but change their faces, and stepped forward lightly, as if they were afraid that if the steps were a little heavier, the city tower would collapse, and when they also came to the side of the water tank, they saw that in the water tank, the water surface that should be as calm as a mirror was flooding with subtle and almost undetectable waves. Everyone's faces couldn't help but change drastically.

Na Tian Kun rushed out of the city tower with a gloomy face, climbed to the guard tower standing on top of the city tower next to him and looked into the distance, although there were a few small black dots on the horizon, which were moving in his direction, and although there were no figures and black lines behind, the sky on the horizon faintly showed a strange pale yellow, as if announcing that a large number of troops were coming towards the Dushikou Fort.

"The more you worry about something, the more you come." Tian Kun showed an ugly and hideous smile on his face, and the scar on his face was so red that it seemed to be able to drip blood, Nan Kun straightened up, his eyebrows were tightly locked and shouted at the people under the watchtower: "Come on, immediately light the beacon fire to send a message, order all the soldiers to go up to the city tower, and order all the young people in the city to prepare for ......."

"Also, send someone to Banbidian Fort as soon as possible, report to Commander Wu, and tell him that the Tile Thorn army has committed my Dushikou Fort, and my Dushikou Fort will fight to the death to the last man, and I hope that Commander Wu will send reinforcements as soon as possible, so that Dushikou Fort will not fall into the hands of the Thorn Tartars again."

"The last will obey." The generals standing under the watchtower heard this, and after loudly agreeing to the promise, they immediately dispersed, and after a while, the monolithic fortress, which had been in the afternoon and seemed extraordinarily quiet, became noisy in the blink of an eye.

The Ming sergeants of the brigade rushed up the city wall in an orderly manner, with the shouting of the officers, the mercury was evenly scattered on the city wall, and the squatting artillery followed the slogan, pushing towards the gun position, piles of fires were ignited, and in the cauldron above, the young man poured oil into it, and there were people next to him who were struggling to pull the bellows, hoping to use the fastest time to make the oil become hot.

"I hope that the thousand households of the Longmen Guard and the Chicheng Guard can know about our situation here as soon as possible and send reinforcements in time, otherwise, just rely on our thousand soldiers......" Tian Kun, who was standing on the guard tower with a gloomy face, continued to observe the enemy situation in the distance, couldn't help but pray in a low voice.

At this moment, a cavalryman carrying a letter for help was galloping out of the south gate and galloping away in the direction of the half-shop fort......
