(Thanks: The Lion of the Stars rewarded 200 starting coins, and the wolf killed 1 evaluation vote)

The camp was set up on a flat river, Qin Dong arranged for some cavalry to spread out in all directions to guard within a radius of ten miles, and other cavalrymen began to dismount to help the old people in their families build fortifications, first surrounded the camp around a wooden fence, tied sharpened branches to the wooden fence to prevent the enemy cavalry from directly attacking the wooden fence, and then dug a trap fifty meters in front of the wooden fence. The women began to make a fire in the camp to cook food, and the children had something to do, they had to graze the cattle and sheep and horses by the river while it was still dark.

Qin Dong inspected the construction of the camp's fortifications, and when he saw a soldier being lazy, he said loudly: "Tus, why don't you have the strength to work?" Was your mother-in-law drained of oil and water last night? ”

"Hahaha......" The Hun soldiers who were working immediately burst into laughter when they heard this joke, and Tuston, who was named, turned red, and began to work hard in order not to let others say that he was squeezed dry by his mother-in-law.

Qin Dong held the hilt of the knife and said while inspecting: "Let me tell you, you guys who have never seen the world, this time we will have the opportunity to see the world when we go to Saidika, do you know where Saidika is?" To the south of Sedika is the Thracian region of the Eastern Roman Empire, where dragons and snakes are mixed, Goths, Alans, Saxons, and some Vandals, Franks are mixed there, of course, most of them are Romans, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, Constantinople is a thousand miles east of Saidica, it only takes a few days to ride a fast horse, and there is a chance that Lord Ben will take you to Constantinople to see the world, eat the food of Constantinople, drink the wine there, and sleep with a woman there, I tell you, The women there are much more delicate-skinned than the women we have here, and they are very watery, and they are ......."

Hearing Qin Dong's words, many Hun men who had not yet started a family couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and then began to mumble loudly and asked Qin Dong to take them to Constantinople after arriving at Saidica.

One of them said: "Centurion, I have heard that the walls of Constantinople are tall and well-guarded, and there are border walls to block us, and we look very different from the Romans, can the defenders of the Roman city let us enter the city?" ”

Qin Dong looked at the person who spoke just now, and reprimanded him with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "You idiot, they won't let you in, what is the scimitar in your hand for?" What are your bows and arrows for? Is it all decoration? The border walls are not impermeable, how did Attila Dadan Yu and Uldin Dadan lead the iron cavalry through the border walls to the city of Constantinople? ”

The border wall of Qindong here is the border wall of the Xiongnu Empire and the Roman Empire, on the banks of the Danube, with a total length of more than 3,000 kilometers, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Western Roman Empire, like the Chinese, like to build the Great Wall, these Great Walls are built on the Danube River at the junction with the northern barbarians, which were used to guard against the Alans and Germanic barbarians in the north, but these Germanic barbarians were driven by the Huns without habitat and could only cross the Great Wall into the territory of the Roman Empire, and now the role of these border Great Walls is to prevent the Huns from going southHowever, these Great Walls are different from the Great Wall of China, it is not built high, because the huge amount of work is basically reinforced with mud, and materials such as masonry and stone are used very little, and the defense capability is not a grade worse than the Great Wall of China, and it has disappeared early with the erosion of the years and the destruction of war.

Listening to Qin Dong's words, the aggressiveness of the Huns was aroused, and someone immediately raised the tools in his hand and shouted loudly: "Yes, if they don't give it to us, they will rob it, and then the centurion will take us to the city of Constantinople, and let those Romans hand over money, beautiful women, and good wine and food!" ”

"Yes, yes, do a good job, but before that we have to protect ourselves, there are already people eyeing us, I believe there is a bloody battle tonight, now everyone is working hard to build the fortifications, and then annihilate the incoming enemy at night!"

"Yes, sir!" Everyone answered with a loud voice.

Qin Dong farted with these chatters for a while and turned to walk towards the soldiers who were digging a horse pit, when ten-year-old Sophia rode over on a horse and said coquettishly: "Brother-in-law, I want to learn to fight, I want to learn to kill, you teach me!" ”

Qin Dong was stunned when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "Why don't you go to graze and run back?" Go, go, graze, a girl don't think about fighting and killing all day long! Go play with those little kids".

"I don't, they're all little kids, it's not fun, I don't play with them!" Sophia sat on her horse and whipped her boots with a leather whip in disdain.

Qin Dong's eyes widened when he heard this: "Yo, how old do you think you are?" You're only 10 years old, okay? also said that others are little children, hurry up and go grazing, I still have a lot of things to do here, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you and delay work! ”

Sophia's mouth was about to cry, and Qin Dong's head suddenly became big, so he had to promise her to teach her again when she arrived at Saidika.

After sending Sophia away, Qin Dong was about to walk in the direction of the horse pit in front of the camp, when a fast horse galloped over, and the knight shouted while galloping: "Report - there is an enemy situation ahead."

Qin Dong waved his hand and shouted, "This way!" ”

The knight rode his horse and galloped over to hold the reins, and the horse stood up and neighed continuously, and when he stopped, the knight stroked his chest on his horse and said: "Lord Baifu, forty miles ahead I found a hill with a large number of cavalry hidden behind it, about six hundred horsemen, Master Muren Shifu asked me to come and report to your lordship, we got closer to investigate and learned that those cavalry were the subordinates of the Right Virtuous King, and were commanded by the warriors and warriors under the Right Virtuous King."

Vultures? Qin Dong frowned, he didn't expect that this time it was the people of the Right Virtuous King, and it was led by Wu Zhu, which was a bit unexpected by Qin Dong, it stands to reason that the character of the Right Virtuous King should not be so small-bellied, if it was the Zuogu Liwang Deng Zhixike, it was possible to do this, but the Right Virtuous King Enek is a person with an upright temperament, and he doesn't like to do this trick behind his back, why did he do something completely opposite to his personality this time?

The leader of the team was Wu Zhu, Qin Dong knew that he had offended this Wu Zhu a lot that night, this time Wu Zhu would definitely find himself to take revenge, and he would definitely not leave his hand, after thinking about it, Qin Dong ordered: "You take a rest first, drink some water, eat some food, you don't have to worry about the rest of the things, go!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The knight said yes and rode into the camp.

"Batuu!" Qin Dong shouted.

"Yes, my lord!" Batu was leading people around the camp when he heard the shouts and rode up and said, "My lord, what do you command?" ”

"Immediately send someone to find Muren, tell him to stay there and closely monitor Wu Zhu's every move, don't be discovered by Wu Zhu, and if Wu Zhu makes any moves, come and report it immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

The sky was dark, the food had been prepared, the fortifications were basically completed, the cattle, sheep and horses were also driven into the camp, and under Qin Dong's arrangement, everyone began to eat in batches.

Qin Dong sat in the tent and looked at the map in his hand and fell into deep thought, he felt that although this time it was the person of the Right Virtuous King Enek, he was sure that things would definitely not be so simple, at least Enek would not raise Roman assassins, there must be something else that he did not know, there must be someone of sufficient weight who was assassinating him, as for who this person was, he had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, but he was not sure that if it was really that person, then going to Sedica must be dangerous.
