After walking twenty miles north of Cloudsdale City, you will see the entrance of the Great Wall Fortress, where the Great Wall garrison is stationed.

Although the school officer who guarded the card was very familiar with Yang Dong, he still waited for Yang Dong to take out the token and compare it to confirm before opening the checkpoint and letting him go.

After Li Huai entered, he found that this military camp was much larger than he imagined, and there was no end in sight to the marching tent.

The barracks were divided into two parts, and in addition to the permanent eight thousand sergeants, there was also a training camp for recruits.

These recruits came from the state capitals of Yu State, and the Ministry of War was responsible for recruiting and screening them, and then sending the appropriate troops to the various armies.

After the army received the recruits, they first gathered for drills, and finally sent them to the combat barracks, officially becoming a member of the Great Wall Army.

Being able to be a part of the Great Wall Army is an honor in the eyes of the entire Yu Kingdom.

Because this is an army that has won battles.

Rumble! Rumble!

The nearest was an infantry phalanx, about a thousand men, with their heads up, spears in their hands, and marching in orderly steps, as if they had come out alone.

"Thorn!"

The instructor waved his flag.

The faces of all the soldiers immediately became solemn, as if there was an enemy in front of them, and they put down the spears in their hands and stabbed forward with wide eyes.

Let out a neat roar.

"Kill!"

There are many such phalanxes in the back, and where it is too far to see clearly, there seems to be a crossbow formation.

As you move forward.

Bang! Bang!

The pace was not at all orderly, chaotic and irregular, but it brought greater deterrence than the previous spear infantry.

It was a cavalry training team galloping past the camp beside the road.

The colonel shouted from the side.

"That soldier, that is, you, what are you doing with your head held so high, are you afraid that the arrows of the desolate people will not be able to shoot you?"

It's so noisy, I don't know if the soldier can hear it, and when the training is over, the training is certain.

Continue to the front.

Li Huai saw a confrontation, a confrontation between shield soldiers and shield soldiers, they lined up in two columns and collided with each other.

Everyone blushed, their foreheads were bruised, and their eyes were murderous.

It is bound to overturn the enemy in front of you.

The veterans shouted desperately in the vicinity, cheering without any position, and they cheered no matter who was victorious.

The victorious side can enjoy a bowl of wine.

Then.

There was a sound of thunder from the back of the barracks, but it was a sunny day, and Li Huai was stunned for a while before he figured it out.

That's the artillery firing platoons.

……

Li Huai continued to walk inside, until he came to the end, and a second level appeared in front of him, which was built at the entrance of a canyon.

Unlike any level he'd ever seen before, this one stretched more than a hundred meters inward.

Several layers of plank roads were built on both sides.

It's like a tiger's mouth.

If the Grandmaster wants to pass from here, I'm afraid he will have to lose his skin.

"Who's coming?"

The general of the gate asked.

"I'm ......," Li Huaigang was about to introduce himself.

"Nobody!"

Yang Dong hurriedly replied.

It turned out to be a password.

The general guarding the pass looked at Yang Dong's token again, and then bowed his hand to Li Huai and said, "I have seen King Liang, the Great Wall Army can guarantee the safety of King Liang, please stay with your entourage." ”

After this level, you can see the Great Wall Fortress, under normal circumstances, no one is allowed to enter without Yang Lingyun's warrant.

Even if it was someone sent by the imperial court, if it was not for urgent military affairs, they could only wait in the reception area set up by the garrison.

Li Huai didn't have any opinions, and left Li Xin and all his entourage in the garrison barracks, and went in alone with Yang Dong.

Only then did the guards open the gates.

Not sure why.

Li Huai passed by the middle, and there was always a feeling of chills in his back, as if someone had been staring at his back.

He thought he would be able to see the Great Wall after passing the pass.

As a result, I climbed half a mountain, walked for more than half an hour, passed three levels, and finally saw the Great Wall Fortress.

The fortress was built at the outward opening of the canyon, and most of it was between the mountainsides, high in the south and low in the north, like a ladder, and connected to the Great Wall at the east and west.

The whole body is made of stone bricks and glutinous rice, the height of the city is nearly seven zhang, the width of the city wall is five zhang, and three or four carriages can run side by side.

What Li Huai saw was still to plug the south and defend against the desolate northern city, which is estimated to be even more exaggerated than this.

Yang Lingyun is there!

"Drive!"

Li Huai urged the horse forward, and when he walked through a cliff, he saw countless stone monuments standing under the cliff.

Under the noon sun, the stone walls and steles there reflect the golden light, which makes people's hearts spontaneously give birth to a sense of pride.

But it is also full of sadness!

It's hard to calm down!

"That's where the Great Wall Army sleeps." Yang Dong said with a light smile, his eyes revealing a kind of gentleness that Li Huai had never seen.

Li Huai stopped his horse, bowed deeply to the Great Wall Stele Forest, expressed his respect, and continued to mount his horse and move forward.

Walked for a short time.

Then they arrived at the foot of the Great Wall Fortress.

The trestle had been lowered, and the wide gates had been opened.

Boom!

A red-clothed man came out of the city gate and rode a red horse.

"You're here."

Yang Lingyun said with a smile.

Li Huai met her gaze and felt a little inferior, before she came to the Great Wall, she was the only female general in Yu State, a childhood sweetheart.

However, seeing the majesty of the Great Wall and the sharpness of the Great Wall Army, the word Great Wall Army, which was originally just a concept, suddenly became clear.

Stress also comes with it.

Yang Lingyun commanded the heroic Great Wall Army, resisting the fierce desolate people. And as the king of Liang, he is still making his people hungry.

"I ...... Come and see you. Li Huai said hesitantly.

Yang Lingyun hurried to his side, looked at him with doting eyes, and stretched out a hand, "Enter the city, His Royal Highness Prince Liang." ”

This honorific title directly made Li Huai's face hot, and he kept cheering himself up in his heart: What am I here for?

Recover your fiancée!

So what am I doing now?

Calm!

Shouldn't I come?

Li Huai became more and more unconfident, and he was pulled into the Great Wall fortress by Yang Lingyun, but he didn't notice it at all.

He didn't remember what the gate hole looked like.

"Hello General!"

"I've seen the General!"

"It's ...... The prince's son-in-law? ”

"It's still called the prince's sister-in-law, and now it's King Liang."

"It is said that King Liang has a marriage contract with our general."

"What is said to be, is that there is a marriage contract."

"It's very good-looking, but it looks weak, you have to practice!"

“……”

Li Huai heard the sounds around him, he came back to his senses, Yang Lingyun was still by his side, she seemed to have said something, but he didn't listen to a word.

Inside the fortress is a neat low earthen house, some soldiers have already set up a home in the Great Wall fortress, of course, female dependents are not allowed to bring in, basically single men.

There were also many soldiers bathing in the big bucket outside the house, and when Yang Lingyun and Yang Dong passed by, they buried their heads one by one.

When he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he craned his neck and looked straight at it, with only respect and worship in his eyes.

There were also some generals and colonels from wealthy families, although they could not bring female dependents with them, but they hired some soldiers to serve them.

This kind of thing is allowed in the entire army of Yu State, as long as the money given is enough, there is nothing that cannot be done.

There are also stables outside the house, with several different horses, and Yang Dong told him that they are all self-purchased.

These people are the children of rich families, and their families send silver every month, which is several times or even dozens of times their military salary.

In the past, when Liangzhou was not so poor, you could still see the merchants accompanying the army outside the garrison barracks.

There are also some spirits in the army who do business, and the most ferocious ones they sell are horses and spirits, especially the latter, which is the hard currency in the army.

They walked from the south of the city to the north of the city, and a huge attic made of wood appeared in front of them, and they arrived at Yang Lingyun's residence.

This is the general command center of the Great Wall Army, where all the adjutants live nearby, and there is also a cavalry battalion around, which is Yang Lingyun's personal soldiers.

"General!"

Yang Lingyun's entourage trotted over and led the horses for them, and when they dismounted, they led the horses to the stables.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Yang Lingyun saw that Li Huai's face was a little pale, so he asked with concern.

Li Huaimeng shook his head fiercely, "No." ”

"Really?"

Yang Lingyun looked at him strangely, "If you want to be uncomfortable, there are military doctors in the army." ”

"Hmm."

Li Huai nodded lightly, his brain was indeed a little hot, but it was useless to call the military doctor, this was not a disease.

"Come in."

Yang Lingyun led him into the attic, first through a herald room, and then through an information room, where several people were communicating, and they didn't listen to what they said.

Continue to walk inside, pass the lounge, the reception room, and come to the living room, but here it is called the war hall.

In the middle of the war hall was a large table, which was supposed to be a sand map, covered with a black cloth, and a map hung directly east, also covered with a black cloth.

"Yang Dong, you go and ask when the food will be delivered, and bring my wine again." Yang Lingyun finished instructing Yang Dong.

So he took Li Huai upstairs, and there was nothing related to the war except for a knife holder and an armor frame upstairs.

This is Yang Lingyun's private area and where she sleeps.

"Are you really okay?" Yang Lingyun found that after Li Huai went upstairs, his face seemed to be even paler, and he pulled him to sit down in the living room.

There is no living room here.

Li Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's okay, I'm just a little hot." ”

"And what do you want to say to me?" Yang Lingyun asked.

"This ...... That ......" Li Huai didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

Then.

Yang Dong came up with people and brought food and wine.

Li Huai glanced at her gratefully, if he came a little later, he was afraid that he would suffocate himself to death.

What can't be said about this?

Hold her.

Tell her, I'm going to marry you!

Li Huai said with a voice in his heart.

"Let's eat first." Yang Lingyun glanced at him dotingly, and this glance seemed to see him through.

"Yang Dong, you ask someone to prepare hot water."

"Yes!"

Yang Dong took people down.

There were only two of them left.
