These yellow and green dots are fierce, and it shouldn't take long to break through the parapet wall of the northern pass.

"What the hell is attacking the northern mountain pass? Could it be the people of Manniu Village? Meng Chen said secretly.

At this time, Alfred and the large army were still on their way back to the City of Hope.

There are only 10 sword and shield warriors, 10 marksmen, 15 elite swordsmen, 16 elite marksmen, 8 soldier instructors, and 14 three-bow bed crossbows left in the core city.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Meng Chen immediately sent soldiers to inform Alfred to return quickly.

And Meng Chen led all the soldiers in the core city to rush to the northern mountain pass as fast as possible.

As for the 14 bed crossbows, they could only be slowly hauled by the coachman.

Before leaving, Meng Chen gave 10 marksmen and 2 marksman instructors a bottle of earth dragon venom.

In case the intruder could not be killed head-on, Meng Chen did not mind using some shady means.

When Meng Chen arrived at the northern mountain pass, the invaders had just broken through the parapet.

Boom!

With the collapse of the parapet gate, more than sixty scalper cavalry poured into the Dilong Valley.

Seeing that the scalper cavalry was about to charge at the swordsman phalanx, Meng Chen immediately shouted in the southern Xinjiang dialect: "Stop! Stop! If you have something to say, it's good to say! ”

At the same time, Meng Chen also restrained the soldiers of the City of Hope not to act rashly.

With Meng Chen's shout, the scalper cavalry gradually stopped their momentum.

Meng Chen came to the swordsman phalanx, and said loudly to the scalper cavalry opposite, "You are the warriors of Manniu Village? I don't know why I attacked the Earth Dragon Valley for no reason? ”

A sturdy middle-aged man drove his mount forward a few steps and said in a deep voice: "Four days ago, dozens of young men from my Manniu Village disappeared for no reason after going to Dilong Valley. This time I'm just asking, where are they? ”

Meng Chen's heart froze, and he flickered: "Your Excellency is talking about Niu Han, Niu Zhuangshi?" He had indeed been to Earth Dragon Valley four days earlier, but it didn't take long for him to leave. ”

The middle-aged man stared at Meng Chen and wondered, "Really? ”

Meng Chen nodded again and again and replied, "Of course! If you don't believe it, you can search it yourself, and we won't stop you. ”

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man waved his hand and sent more than a dozen scalper cavalrymen to scatter and carefully investigate.

In order to delay time, Meng Chen did not stop him, he could only secretly pray in his heart not to find any flaws.

During the search of the scalper cavalry, Meng Chen arched his hand towards the middle-aged man and asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency's honorable name?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Meng Chen and said, "The third elder of the Niu family, Niu Han!" ”

Then, Niu Han asked Meng Chen, "These people can't understand the southern Xinjiang dialect?" ”

Meng Chen nodded and said, "They are not from Southern Xinjiang, but from Oseriel, so they can't understand Southern Xinjiang." All this is a misunderstanding, please forgive me! ”

"Humph! No matter where they are from, since they have come to southern Xinjiang, they must abide by the rules of southern Xinjiang! This radius of 300 miles is the strongest in my Barbarian Cow Village, since the people of Oseril are ready to settle in Dilong Valley, why didn't they come to my Barbarian Village to meet them? Niu Han snorted coldly.

Meng Chen continued to flicker: "This is indeed our negligence. Four days ago, after Niu Zhuangshi's order, it had been agreed with the Commander. I plan to prepare a heavy gift after some time and go to Manniu Village to pay a visit. ”

"You know each other!" Niu Han said proudly.

Seeing that more than a dozen scalper cavalrymen were still searching, Meng Chen felt that he had to divert their attention.

So, Meng Chen pretended to hesitate and said: "There is some speculation about the whereabouts of Niu Zhuangshi. ”

Niu Han's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you know where they are?" ”

Meng Chen said slowly: "When the strong man Niu came to Dilong Valley that day, he happened to encounter a caravan from Shanli Village. There appears to have been some verbal altercation between the two sides. Niu Zhuangshi shouted at the caravan in Shanli Village at that time - spit out all the pits that pit me before......"

When Niu Han heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and said secretly: "Niu Han shouldn't go to find trouble in Shanli Village, right?" traded with Mu Lao Er that day, Niu Han did suffer a big loss from Mu Lao Er. According to Niu Han's past character, there is really this possibility! ”

Thinking of this, Niu Han was so anxious that he didn't care about making trouble with the Othriel people, and after a hurried search, he beckoned the scalper cavalry to leave the Earth Dragon Valley.

"Whew~!"

Meng Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, exhaled a long breath, and said secretly in his heart: "It's finally fooled!" ”

In fact, with the current strength of the northern mountain pass and the poisonous effect of the Earth Dragon Venom, it is not difficult to defeat these more than sixty scalper cavalry, but it is absolutely impossible to leave all the scalper cavalry behind.

Therefore, Meng Chen chose to fool Niu Han for the time being.

After all, at this time, the City of Hope was in a stage of rapid development, and the later it was delayed in the head-on conflict with the Manniu Village, the more beneficial it would be to the City of Hope.

The soldiers were ordered to remain on guard at the northern pass, while Meng Chen returned to the core city and instructed the blacksmiths and carpenters to repair the parapet gates.

This time, Meng Chen decided to replace the parapet gate with a steel gate made of all-metal.

At present, the gate covered with solid wood and iron sheet really can't withstand the impact of the scalper cavalry.

While Meng Chen and the chief blacksmith were discussing the style of the steel gate, Alfred led the large army to hurry back to the core city.

"Your Excellency, your subordinates are late, please forgive your sins!" Alfred said with a look of shame.

Meng Chen waved his hand and replied, "It's not your fault! No one expected that the people from Manniu Village would come to the door at this point in time. Now that the people of Manniu Village have been fooled by me for the time being, we must strengthen our vigilance for a period of time in the future! ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Alfred bowed in response.

After Alfred left, the chief blacksmith continued: "My lord, if this steel gate were three meters high, four meters wide, and five centimeters thick, then the weight of the entire steel gate would be close to five tons. Such a steel gate may require dozens of soldiers to push. ”

Meng Chen pointed: "Install steel wheels under the steel gate, and then lay smooth stone slabs on the ground. In doing so, the force required to push the steel gate can be greatly reduced. ”

"The drawing of the steel wheel ......"

"You don't have to worry about this! I will immediately order the scholar to design the drawings that are needed! ”

The steel gates were too large for blacksmiths to forge such a large piece of metalwork.

The main body of the steel gate is Meng Chen's consumption of gold coins, which is specially customized through resource space.

The blacksmiths were only responsible for the fabrication and installation of the steel wheels.

After returning to the city hall, Meng Chen sat on the bench, staring at the detection map in a daze, and said secretly in his heart: "This time I was suddenly attacked by the people of Manniu Village, it seems that in the future, we must arrange a special person to monitor the movement of the detection map at all times!" ”
