Colonel Zhang was young relative to his rank, but he was very calm, a son of a military family, and had received good enough training since he was a child.

He said: "I was notified just now to receive Major General Ye and his entourage, but the frontier front line supplies are expensive, and I'm afraid there are no good things to entertain the two." ”

Ye Li looked at his meticulous appearance, and suddenly smiled and said: "It's okay, I just want to go to this city wall to have a look, can I bother Colonel Zhang to arrange a guide for us?" ”

Who knew that the colonel's face was surging and said: "My dragon soldiers have responsibilities, and they must defend this lonely mountain fortress, so if my colonel has a little leisure, let me take the two of you to visit here." ”

Ye Li was stunned for a moment, and then said gently: "Then it's troublesome." ”

Colonel Zhang didn't say much, and walked outside with the two of them.

In fact, his office is located at the top of the Lonely Mountain Fortress, and when you push the door and walk out, there is a steel wall, which means that the guards are eating and sleeping on the front line.

In the office just now, facing the city wall is a wall of floor-to-ceiling tempered glass, which can be seen clearly inside and outside.

In this case, it undoubtedly increases the seriousness of the dragon pawns on duty on the city wall and patrolling the night, so that the dragon pawns on duty are always vigilant.

The only bad thing is that this will put a lot of psychological pressure on the guards in the office.

If the psychological capacity is almost poor, I am afraid that it will not be long before I can bear it.

Ye Li walked to the city wall and looked left and right.

The steel walls of this lonely mountain fortress are eighteen kilometers wide, and you can't see the end to the left and right.

On such a wide wall, the five thousand defenders scattered on it looked rather sparse.

Ye Li sighed: "Colonel Zhang, you have worked hard, can you hold such a long city wall?" ”

Colonel Zhang said expressionlessly: "It's nothing, most of the time only a thousand people need to patrol and guard it, and the others can take turns to rest." ”

Ye Li asked, "Then what about the danger?" ”

Colonel Zhang said: "We will use drones to reconnoiter the entire Gushan corridor every once in a while, and we can give early warning 50 kilometers in advance." ”

"That's the speed of the walking corpse, no matter how fast we run 50 kilometers, it will take an hour, which is enough for us to deploy targeted defenses."

Ye Li nodded again and again after hearing this, and he asked again: "But what if there is a large-scale walking corpse squeezing over?" ”

Colonel Zhang said: "That's also simple, all of our 5,000 people are mobilized, and then there is heavy fire coverage in the rear to suppress it." ”

"If it doesn't work again, the brother troops in the rear will be reinforced and replaced at any time."

Ye Li listened and nodded again and again.

"Sounds like nothing goes wrong," he said. ”

Colonel Zhang's face twitched, and then he took Ye Li and Ye Xiaoyu to the front of the steel city wall and said, "No defense is foolproof, in fact, this place has been broken through once." ”

Ye Li asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" ”

Colonel Zhang said: "That was one time, it was a giant walking corpse that attacked the city defenses, the giant corpse was more than six meters tall, and it was full of hellish flames, and it almost completely demolished our city walls. ”

"At the same time, a large number of lit walking corpses crawled on the back of the giant corpse and climbed the wall, and the fortress of the lonely mountain was almost lost."

Ye Xiaoyu swallowed his saliva with difficulty as he listened, and then asked, "Then, how did you defend it later?" ”

Colonel Zhang's face twitched again, and he said: "The guard at that time called for artillery fire to cover, and under the concentrated fire of the heavy artillery in the rear, the giant corpse was finally killed under the city wall. ”

"And in that battle, only more than 400 of the 5,000 dragon soldiers stationed here survived in the end."

"Their guards also died under the fire of their own men......"

Ye Li looked at Colonel Zhang in front of him and was still expressionless, but his emotional spectrum had turned into a sad gray tone.

Apparently the guard who died at that time was an acquaintance of his.

Ye Li looked down in the direction where Colonel Zhang was standing......

The result was a sight of the city walls, which were full of mottled scratches, and the huge decaying skeleton on the ground at the foot of the walls.

"It stinks."

Ye Xiaoyu covered his nose.

The corners of Colonel Zhang's mouth tugged and said, "The smell is not good, let's go down." ”

Ye Li waved his hand and said, "What does this look like?" ”

Ye Xiaoyu pursed her lips lightly and said, "Okay, then I'll let the smell dissipate a little." ”

As soon as the words fell, she blew softly into the wall.

It didn't take long for that fragrant breath to bring a crisp strong wind, which blew down from the walls of the Lonely Mountain Fortress, and blew away the disgusting stench of the walls at once.

Seeing this, Ye Li couldn't help but praise: "Xiaoyu, are you using your own breath to drive the wind of nature?" ”

"Awesome!"

He gave a thumbs up.

Ye Xiaoyu was praised shyly, and then said: "It's not that powerful, it's still inferior to my brother and Sister Qin." ”

As the most rookie person in the Ye family, she really has little confidence in front of her father and brother.

But Colonel Zhang next to him was different, he felt the breeze on his face, felt the rare good air and couldn't help but say: "Thank you, at least you can let the brothers on the wall enjoy the good air that you haven't seen for a while." ”

Ye Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and she said, "Yes, everyone has to endure such a taste here......

At this time, they walked around the wide wall.

As he walked, he passed a group of patrolling soldiers.

Ye Li heard a few heavy wheezing sounds and an irrepressible low cough behind him.

The heavy wheezing was due to the fact that the soldiers had nasal congestion, and the suppressed coughing was due to the fact that they had to hold back when they saw their commanders passing by......

Ye Limeng stopped and turned around, looked at the group of soldiers and asked, "Are they all unwell?" ”

Colonel Zhang said expressionlessly: "This is natural, stay in this ghost place, those walking corpses will exude a strong epidemic aura, and within a month, the original elite of the dragon and tiger will also become sick seedlings." ”

Ye Li frowned and asked, "Will the infected dragon pawn become a walking corpse?" ”

Colonel Zhang's face suddenly became very gloomy.

He obviously resisted this question, but because of Ye Xiaoyu's behavior of blowing the wind on the wall just now, he had a good impression.

I could only say with a gloomy face: "As long as you don't die in this city, go back and recuperate." ”

The implication is that if a sick soldier dies in a state of epidemic, will he become a walking corpse?

Ye Li nodded thoughtfully and said, "Where is the place where the soldiers usually rest?" ”

Colonel Zhang said: "It's in the barracks under the wall. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed down.

Ye Li looked back and saw that there was indeed a row of barracks areas below.

At this time, standing high, the situation of the entire Lonely Mountain Fortress was also completely reflected in front of his eyes.

On this side of the corridor facing the lonely mountain is a high wall eighteen kilometers long and eight meters high.

And under this high wall is the camp, which is also surrounded by steel walls, that is, the height is only three meters.

Colonel Zhang led them down from the steel ladder next to them, and at the same time introduced: "See those board walls, right? ”

"Actually, it's not just our camp here, it's the whole Western Plateau where there are garrisons, and even the refugee camp."

Ye Li hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Will those walking corpses come over the mountain?" ”

Colonel Zhang said: "There will be, but there are not many. ”

Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard this, this border is really difficult to keep.
