Chapter 220: Really Calling? (Ask for favorites, recommendations, subscriptions)

After receiving the news, Kang Ren routinely sent an official letter to the front-line commander in Ando County to raise vigilance, and then continued to focus on the military training of the other two counties in Taidang County.

The military rectification and reform a few years ago made the people of Anhu County and Ningjin County panic, and a situation arose in which soldiers did not know their generals and would not recognize their soldiers, and this also led to a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the garrison troops in the other two counties except Bei'an County.

The Anning garrison, which was not the opponent of the barbarians, was probably even more unlucky against the barbarians at this time, but fortunately, Kang Renzhi and the master behind him gave the barbarians a lot of things, and they still had a little relationship with the high-level of the barbarians, but they also knew that the barbarians would not have a plan to fight for a while.

In Kang Renzhi's mind, the overall military strength of Anhu County is far greater than that of Bei'an County, not only the city wall is stronger and more majestic, but the military strength is also stronger than that of Bei'an County.

Because he has full confidence in Ando, and Kang Renzhi also knows that the elite of the White Department is coming this time, nine times out of ten, it is for the large-scale invasion of the autumn queen to fight the outpost, so he is not in a hurry, the current Taidang County army can not fight a battle, he can only step up the training, and strive to form a preliminary combat force after the autumn, although he can't go out of the city to fight with the barbarian army in the field, but relying on the strong city, there is no problem in sticking to the city.

Tian Dapeng is Tian Shunchang's cousin, and his cousin Ando County Governor is different, Tian Dapeng himself is illiterate, but he is one of the best generals in Ando County.

Since Kang Renzhi took over Ando's garrison, in order to give Tian Shunchang a little compensation, Kang Renzhi did not move Tian Dapeng, he is still the marquis of the Second Army of Anhu County, and the old pawns in the Second Army have not been transferred, so the Second Army of Anhu under Tian Dapeng can be regarded as the army with the highest combat effectiveness in the entire Taidang County.

Tian Shunchang has been completely overheaded, Tian Dapeng was appointed as the front-line commander of Ando County, responsible for resisting the affairs of the Northern Barbarians, Ando County Shoutian Shunchang was worried that his brave and unscrupulous younger brother was impulsive and bad, and specially sent one of his former confidant strategists Zeng Qi to Tian Dapeng to help Tian Dapeng Counselor Military Aircraft and give advice.

After receiving the military report from Kang Ren of Taidang County, Tian Dapeng didn't think so, he had been dealing with the barbarians for a year or two, and it was still early for this group of barbarian mad dogs to invade, and there would be no big war now, after the spies were released, Ando's front line did not make too many precautions.

In early April, the military forts on the front line in Ando Prefecture were still the same as usual, with lazy soldiers leaning on the walls of the military forts, bored, while in the fields outside the military forts, peasants were busy in the fields, and due to strategic needs, the trees within a few miles in front of the military forts were cut down, and standing on the top of the military forts, you could look far away.

The military fortress at the front of Ando Prefecture is very large, although it is called a military fortress, in fact, it can be called a small city, the entire military fortress is several miles long, about a mile wide, in addition to the army, there are many residents engaged in various industries in the military fortress.

A few hundred meters away from the military fortress at the front of Ando Prefecture, there are two acropolis, each of which can accommodate about 5,000 soldiers, and the two acropolis and the military fortress are at opposite angles and can rush to each other's aid.

In terms of strategic defense, this design is very reasonable, and it can even be said to be invulnerable, without several times the number of troops, it is basically impossible to easily take such a well-defended military fortress.

In Kang Renzhi's secret military report, the elite of the White Department led by Goodachi was only in their early 10,000s, and the barbarians could almost be said to have no advantage in terms of troops, which was also the fundamental reason why Tian Dapeng did not take the barbarian army stationed in Mengkou seriously.

Most of the second army under the command of Tian Dapeng are veterans who have been fighting with the barbarians all the year round, and after the whole training, the combat effectiveness is quite considerable, these soldiers have rich experience in fighting with the barbarians, and they know that if they fight a protracted war with the barbarians in the wilderness, then their own side will definitely suffer, but if they defend the city, the soldiers under the command of Tian Dapeng are not afraid at all, and even want to give the barbarians a little hardship.

At the top of the military fortress, the lazy sentry at the front of Ando suddenly stood up straight, put his hand on the canopy, and stared into the distance without blinking, and at the end of the sentry's eye, a wave of wolf smoke ignited, and the thick black smoke was like a rising black fog, soaring upward.

This is the beacon tower arranged by the Ando garrison in the distance, and it was lit at this time, which was to send a warning signal to everyone, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed in the mind of the sentry at the front post:

"It's not good, the barbarians are coming, there will be a war!"

Immediately after, one beacon after another was lit, and in the field of vision of the sentinels in front, several war horses were galloping towards this side, and in the distance behind them, a large cloud of smoke and dust covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the sky over Ando Prefecture, and in an instant day turned into night.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, report to Lord Tian quickly, the barbarians are coming!"

The spies who inquired about the news trotted all the way to the fort, and all of a sudden, the sound of sharp trumpets rose and fell over the military fort at the front of Ando Prefecture, and it lasted for a long time.

At this time, the people of Ando County, who were still working in the field, had long been accustomed to the horn of the enemy's attack, and some of them were not surprised, and after hearing the sound of the horn, they raised their eyes and looked at the beacon tower with wolf smoke in the distance, and hurriedly packed up their farm tools one by one, and took refuge in the military fortress in a nervous and orderly manner.

At the top of the military fortress, a group of heavily armed soldiers came to the head of the city, and the crossbows were pushed out from the city tower one by one, and the crossbowmen nervously shook their bow arms, and loaded the three-bow bed crossbow with crossbows as thick as a child's arm, and more soldiers quickly carried the rolling stones and logs up to the top of the fortress.

When the spies arrived, the top of the military fortress was ready, and rows of Ando County garrisons stood on the tower, nervously looking at the large force of barbarians who were rolling in the distance.

As the last spy entered the gate of the military fortress, the heavy gate creaked tightly, and the thick logs were encased in the iron ring behind the gate of the military fortress, blocking the gate almost tightly.

Tian Dapeng, who is in his early thirties, looks like a tiger's back and bear's waist, at this time he is wearing a black iron armor, holding his helmet in his arms with one hand, and pressing the battlements at the head of the city with the other hand, staring intently at the barbarians from far and near.
