(I was out this morning, so I was a little late.) I'm sorry. ）

Last night's War Dream East China Sea team finally got a long-lost B evaluation, in fact, it's not a long time to say, they just got an A evaluation on Tuesday of the third week, and half of the East China Sea team also got a B evaluation in the battle of Weinan last Friday.

The reason why it feels like a long time is just because of the result of the failure of the power dream on Tuesday, plus the cost of skill improvement to the C rank is too great.

When people have money, they may not feel the importance of working hard to make money, but when they have no money, they will urgently feel the pain brought by poverty. Although the Tokai team is not poor, they have already begun to worry about the future.

Entering Donghai Town, Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi didn't care about resting, and directly found Wu Qiang, the town guard, and asked him about the movements of the bandits. Finally, Dong'er didn't get them this time, and the time was indeed only twelve hours past the last time he left, that is, at noon on the second day.

The bandits also found out that Donghai Town was building a city wall, and realized that if they didn't do it again, they would have to face Donghai City, which was guarded by a moat, and they couldn't defeat it with their current equipment and ability, so they had advanced the time of attack to noon tomorrow.

Fortunately, Sima Fuqiang had already arranged everything before leaving Donghai Town on Tuesday night, so he wouldn't be in a hurry now.

As Wu Qiang left the town, he went to inspect the various arrangements that were being prepared to meet the bandits. Through the night that shrouded Donghai Town, facing the dazzling afternoon sunlight outside the town, Huang Zhi still couldn't adapt to the changes in light and darkness inside and outside Donghai Town, and squinted his eyes for a while before he gradually adapted to the bright environment.

At this time, what caught my eye was already a completely different Donghai Town. The south-facing city wall has a preliminary structure, but the horse path to the city and the female wall at the head of the wall have not yet been completed. The moat has also been brought in water, so even if the bandits touch the outside of Donghai Town, they may not be able to easily launch an attack on the unfinished city wall.

The walls of Tokai Town are located on the outer side of the nightfall, and due to financial problems, the width is only a pitiful three meters, but it is still a wall that is enough to withstand a normal level of attack. Even so, the half-finished walls of the East China Sea are only limited to the south, and the other three sides are still only gates without walls, and cannot really be used to defend against the attacks of bandits.

The bandits did not arrive immediately, and they were not so anxious to inspect the position, and the two of them were more interested in the city wall at this time, so they walked around the south wall of Donghai Town.

The three gate drawbridges have been erected, and they all lie quietly on the moat, emitting a faint scent of tung oil and wood shavings. Hundreds of local Donghai residents carried stones behind the wall, apparently to build horse paths and women's walls.

Coming out of Qianmen, Wu Qiang followed the two dreamers and walked slowly for half a circle from east to west, and then entered the night of Donghai Town from Xunmen.

After adapting to the dark Donghai Town, Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang noticed that there were caves every ten meters on the inner side of the city wall. These hiding caves are half a person high from the ground, and the space is not large, and they can hide from two people at most, and there are corridors behind them.

Seeing that the town guard and the deputy Cheng noticed these special facilities, Wu Qiang specially led the two of them closer to see. "Lord Guard, this hidden soldier cave is not ordinary."

"Oh?" Sima Fuqiang is interested, since Wu Qiang will specifically mention it, there must be another mystery.

Wu Qiang sold it, "Please let the two adults go into the cave and have a look." ”

The two dreamers immediately climbed up to the nearest cave with curiosity, and suddenly their eyes suddenly lit up. When they looked back, Donghai Town was bright again, and Wu Qiang was standing three meters away from them, trying to stare at the cave with wide eyes. The two of them, who were already shrewd, immediately understood the mystery of the Hidden Soldier Cave.

The East Sea Walls were built close to the nightfall, and the walls were located outside the night, while the inside of the walls was in the night. Therefore, when viewed from the perspective of the town, these caves are naturally also in the dark. However, once the person entered the cave, he was outside the night, and when he looked back, he saw the East China Sea under the brightness of the weather at that time.

Just like when he first left the town, Huang Zhi excitedly retracted his head in and out of the cave, feeling the repeated sudden changes in light.

Looking back at the cave from outside the Tibetan Soldier Cave, he only felt that it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, especially when his eyes were not yet adapted, Huang Zhi couldn't even see Sima Fuqiang, who was close at hand. And when looking from the inside out, Wu Qiang's armor shone in the afternoon sun, and even the inner wall of the hidden soldier cave had patches of light reflected in his armor.

It is conceivable that if a foreign enemy invades Donghai Town, even if it is lucky enough to break through the city wall or city gate, when entering the town, the first thing you will have to face is the sudden change of light and darkness brought by the night, and you will not be able to see the surrounding things clearly for a while. At this time, the defenders hiding in the hiding hole behind them could clearly see the invading enemy, and they could imagine the outcome of the battle if they were calculating or not.

Huang Zhi couldn't help but sigh, "The night in Donghai Town is really a strange thing, standing inside and seeing everywhere is the night, but standing outside and seeing is normal light and dark. I thought we would be on the losing side in the night, but I didn't expect that when the walls were so delicately designed, we would be on the right side. ”

"It is true, 'Misfortune and blessing are relied upon, and blessing and misfortune are lurking.'" That's exactly what happened. Sima Fuqiang made a vivid summary.

Out of the hidden soldier cave close to the night, there were no other highlights on the city wall of Donghai Town, and the two dreamers did not look at it anymore, so they called Wu Qiang to inspect the frontline positions as planned.

After going around and coming back, it was not too early to see that it was already dark. After dinner, I went to the Presbyterian Church to discuss with the elders the progress of the construction of Donghai Town and the opening time of several newly planned functional buildings. Later, I listened to Wu Qiang's report on the latest movements of the bandits, and everything was still running according to the established schedule.

Before you know it, the day of the fourth night has passed. The Tokai team is still camping outside the town, and if they are sent back to the real world at this time, it will really make them cry without tears.

======================== the dividing line between dream and reality =======================

The next day when he woke up, Wu Qiang, the town guard, was already waiting outside the tent, and before Sima Fuqiang had even finished washing, he nervously stepped forward to report, "The bandits sped up their pace again last night, and judging by the scouts we sent, they will arrive at the forward position on the front line of the southern village at about ten o'clock in advance. ”

Huang Zhi saw Wu Qiang's figure early in the morning and knew that something must have changed, so he hurriedly leaned over. After listening to the report, he was in a good mood, "This is better, since we are ready, we are not afraid of them coming early." And the bandits are bound to be exhausted by traveling overnight, which is only good for us. ”

After listening to Huang Zhi's analysis, Wu Qiang's hanging heart relaxed, and then reported, "The two commanders, the subordinates have ordered each squad leader to lead most of the town guards into the predetermined position. ”

Sima Fuqiang nodded noncommittally, he had just finished brushing his teeth and was washing his face at this time.

As the deputy of Donghai, Huang Zhi continued to speak for him, "What about the other villagers who were temporarily recruited? ”

"Elder Tuwu has put them in place, and the villagers of the southern, southwestern, and southeastern villages have also begun to evacuate in an orderly manner under the arrangements of the rest of the elders." Wu Qiang paused, "Everything was implemented according to the advance deployment of the two commanders, but it was two hours earlier than the scheduled time, and there was no change in the rest. ”

"Alright, let's go now!" Lord Tokai finally finished washing up at this time.

Brought some dry food, ready to wait for a while to get to the place and then slowly make up for breakfast, Wu Qiang and his guards brought horses for the East China Sea team, and the treatment was different after becoming an official. Of course, the horse deposit and rent are still deducted from the account of the dreamer, and the dream world will not be polite about this.

The bandits came from the official road, and on the way they needed to cross the river called the Jiulong River by the town of Donghai. The Jiulong River flows down from the mountainous area north of Donghai Town, passing through Dongfang Village, Donghai Town, and Nanfang Village on the way, and finally flows into Donghai.

To the south of Nanbu Village, there is a Nancun Bridge named after the village, which is an important part of the official road and the first line of defense for the Tokai team to intercept the bandit coalition army. The bridge is a single-span stone arch bridge, the length of the bridge deck is more than 20 meters, the width is 3 meters, and there are a pair of stone lions of different shapes on the guardrails on both sides of the bridge deck at intervals, a total of 12 pairs.

When the town keeper and his men arrived at the Nancun Bridge, there were already about 200 sturdy villagers waiting on the other side of the bridge, all of whom had been requisitioned from the construction site of the city wall, which had been temporarily suspended. Leading these people were Zhao Meng, the deputy commander of the town guard, and Elder Jin Xin, who was relatively young in the Council of Elders.

These men were already armed, most of them long-range crossbows and crossbows made by hunters and carpenters, and a few were thick-backed machetes and small shields captured from previous battles with bandits.

Some of them even wore the simple uniforms of the town guards, that is, a very ordinary cloth green tunics, with a round white cloth embroidered with the word "Donghai" in the middle of the chest, the standard ancient soldier's attire.

Although they are not genuine village warriors, and this outfit is also borrowed from the town guard, it really looks like it is really difficult to distinguish the real from the fake at this time, and even the other members of the Donghai team who don't know the inside story can't help but think that they are members of the town guard.

Due to the financial limitations of Donghai Town, only the elite townsmen at the captain level can be equipped with a set of leather armor. At this time, half of the two commanders and ten squad leaders of the town guard also came, so except for a few people who knew about it, they all thought that the town guard was guarding the Nancun Bridge. Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang were quite satisfied with this, and Zhang Wei naturally knew this.

At this time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning, and the bandits would arrive at Nancun Bridge in another hour, and the scouts sent by the town guard also rushed back and joined the garrison at the bridgehead.
