In the vast northern frontier, on a deserted Gobi, several burly hunters are moving forward with their backs to the infinitely beautiful sunset, they have no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of the sunset, but just bow their heads and carry the spoils of desperate hunting, and walk quickly in the direction of the village.

Looking at the tired brother beside him, but always with a smile on his face, carrying a brown bear on his shoulder that was bigger than his seven-foot body, Amo asked worriedly, "Landi, do you want to help you carry it for a while?" ”

"Brother, it's okay, I can persevere, and besides, I'll be in the village soon, and the children must be very happy to see so much prey. Ha ha! ”

Ah Mo smiled, this time he came out for four days, and he didn't catch anything at first, but he didn't expect that on the way back, he encountered a group of hyenas besieging an injured brown bear. With everyone's tacit cooperation, they finally repelled the hyena and killed the brown bear. In the end, Randy, who killed the brown bear, insisted on carrying the brown bear home alone.

Everyone saw that he was in high spirits, so they didn't fight with him, and took the rest of the prey back to the village together.

Seeing that the village had already appeared in the distance, Mo and Randy quickened their pace to go home. I hope to give the captured prey to my family soon.

"Brother, why is the village on fire?" Randy saw black smoke rising from a distance, and immediately said nervously to Mo beside him.

Amo saw it too, and he seemed to hear a loud shouting coming from the direction of the village.

"It's not good, it's the Hun cavalry." Amo immediately threw down his prey, picked up his hunting spear and rushed towards the village. The prime men of several villages around him also hurriedly threw away their prey, picked up their weapons and rushed over with Amo.

When they rushed to the village, they saw that their original homes had been burned down by dozens of Hun cavalry, and the ground was littered with the corpses of relatives and livestock, and there were even many villagers who were not yet dead and screaming in pain on the ground.

The eyes of Amo and Randy were full of grief and indignation, and they roared madly and rushed towards the Hun cavalry who were still slashing and killing the villagers. It's a pity that these villagers can't be the opponents of the battle-tested, fierce and cruel Hun cavalry. Within a few rounds, Amo and Landi, like the villagers, were ruthlessly slashed by the Hun cavalry and passed away forever.

The Hun cavalry let out a howl of victory, grabbed the few young women in the village, laughed and drove away, continuing to loot the next village on the border of the Liyang Dynasty.

In the hall of the Liyang Dynasty, the crown prince Zhao Renzhang looked at the fold handed by the eunuch beside him, and his face became more and more cold. Recently, the northern Xiongnu raids on the Liyang border have intensified. More than thirty border villages have already been looted, with more than a thousand dead.

Moreover, the Hun cavalry was very cunning, a team of fifty people, and carried out harassing attacks in several directions. Once it is discovered that the Beiping army of the Liyang Dynasty has appeared, it will immediately retreat and never engage in a head-on battle. The Beiping army was exhausted, but it did not achieve good results.

"The defense wall of 10,000 miles mentioned by the national division must be started as soon as possible, which will be a good defense against the cavalry invasion of the Huns. In addition, the cities and towns in the three prefectures of Yanbei were assisted by the Beiping army to evacuate the common people from the frontier, and they were arranged to return to live in the area south of Yanbei City as much as possible. "The prince listened to the advice of the national teacher and made arrangements for the current situation facing the north.

Although everyone has a lot of opinions on the manpower and financial resources to be consumed by the national teacher's defense wall, but now facing the severe situation in the north, the Liyang Dynasty did not have the strength to take the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, so it accepted the method of raising the strength of the whole country to build a defense wall for thousands of miles.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the prince announced his retirement from the court, and asked the eunuchs around him, Ji Changgeng, the general of the Beiping Army, Li Gongming, and Cai Yuankui, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to go to the imperial study to discuss countermeasures.

"Three, although the defense wall of Wanli will bring a great defensive effect to the invasion of the Xiongnu, but the construction period is too long, during this period, do you have any suggestions to improve the current threat to our border by the Xiongnu?" The crown prince sincerely consulted several generals.

"The Xiongnu army is so cunning, it is difficult to defend to the death, after all, the northern line of my Liyang Dynasty is wide, and there is no suitable natural barrier to resist the Xiongnu iron cavalry, so the best plan for the defense of the city wall recommended by the national teacher is indeed the best plan, but it is estimated that it will take at least twenty years to build a complete city wall." Li Gongming said.

"At present, judging from our intelligence, the Xiongnu have reached unprecedented unity under the rule of Nurberuk, and all the major tribes have been conquered by Nurberuk's strength and charm. We will face one of the most powerful Xiongnu in history, and they have repeatedly harassed the territory of Liyang, presumably to lure us into taking the initiative to fight, and I suspect that they are fully prepared for the battle. ”

Li Gongming has rich combat experience and excellent strategic thinking ability, and under his leadership, the Beiping Army is currently the most indestructible heavy weapon of the Liyang Dynasty.

"I agree with General Li's statement, compared with the Southern Barbarians, the Xiongnu in the north are actually a greater threat to us, and the Southern Barbarians are still a plate of scattered sand, and they cannot pose a substantial threat to Liyang at present. In addition, there is a natural danger of Nanling in the south, so as long as the Southern Expeditionary Army does a good job of defending a few passes, it is basically impossible for the Nanban to drive straight into the territory of Liyang. "As a general who guards the frontier in Southern Xinjiang all the year round, Ji Changgeng knows the strength of Nanban best.

"What do those two generals mean?" The prince continued.

"We must not easily enter the hinterland of the Xiongnu to attack, that will definitely fall into the trap of the Xiongnu, we can lure the Xiongnu army to take the initiative to attack us." Cai Yuankui, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, said.

"So how can you lure them out?" After hearing Cai Yuankui's suggestion, the prince straightened up and humbly asked.

"We can unleash rumors that the strongest defensive walls will be built in five years, so that the Xiongnu will be worried. Then it was built with great fanfare, convincing them that the construction of this 10,000-mile defensive wall would completely destroy the Xiongnu's plan to move south.

The Xiongnu have always wanted to conquer the south because the geographical conditions in the north are complex, the climate is cold, and the resources are scarce, so they are no longer suitable for habitation. They certainly don't want us to finish the construction of the defensive wall, and they will rush south to obstruct the construction of the wall. We will be able to take advantage of the opportunity to deploy troops around and crush the Hun army in one fell swoop. Cai Yuankui pointed to the strategic map and said.

"Okay, but the battle line on the northern front will definitely be very long, how to ensure that the people in the north of our country are not affected by the war?" The prince began to worry indecisively about the people around him again.
