Nu Thirteen, who followed Nu Chen out of the thick fog, soon saw two horses tied to the road ahead.

The slave picked one of them, rolled over and jumped on the horse.

On horseback, he said to Slave Thirteen, "Get on your horse and follow me." ”

With that, he turned his horse's head and walked down the path, slowly on the main road back to the city.

Slave Thirteen had never ridden a horse.

But haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

In the same way, he jumped on his horse and sat on the saddle.

Gripping the reins, he lightly pinched the horse's belly with his legs. The horse's four hooves galloped and followed the slave's horse.

After about a cup of tea, the slave horses in front of them ran down the avenue and walked along the ridge of the road to another path.

Turning through a willow forest, I came down halfway up the mountainside.

You can see a block down the hill.

When Slave Thirteen's horse approached, he raised his hand and shook his hand at the city down the mountain, and said, "That is our barracks city." ”

Slave Thirteen sat on the back of the horse and looked down.

I saw that this barracks city was very huge.

That scene is exactly the layout of the long street leading through the dense forest, and the pavilion in the mountain.

If you don't have someone to guide you, you won't be able to walk two miles into it, and you will definitely get lost.

Nu Chen continued to say to Nu Thirteen, "The barracks city of the White Bull Mountain Range is divided into eight gates and camps in total. They are the heaven, earth, Xuan, Huang, Yu, Zhou, Hong, Huang, and Bazi barracks city. And the barracks city to which we belong is the Xuanzi Gate. ”

While speaking, Nu Chen took out a small black scroll from his arms, threw it to Nu Thirteen on the horse, and said, "This is the map of the Barracks City in the White Bull Mountain Range, you can take it and see it." ”

Slave Thirteen took it in his hand and opened it slightly to look at it.

Inside is densely marked with all the palace pavilions and mansions in the Xuanzimen camp city.

From the location of the Animal Mountain and the Pregnant Spirit Lake, to the walking routes of the various buildings in the barracks city, you can find them inside.

Although Nu Thirteen learned to read and write after the jade slips of the day, he still lacked some patience to calm down and read the articles and recognize geography.

It is better to use the things of the immortal family to pour the cultural information directly into the mind, which is convenient and fast.

Frowning, he flipped through the map scroll again, and what was printed in his eyes was a fine picture, a map of every street.

But when I needed to remember it carefully, a chaotic picture appeared in my mind.

Fortunately, as I became more and more engrossed, I finally saw that it was a high-precision map marked with the names and directions of the dense buildings.

Slave Thirteen rubbed his somewhat swollen braincase.

sighed in his heart: "After understanding it carefully, the barracks city is really not small...... Just looking at the complexity of the map, one head is two big!"

In fact, this is only the specification of a barracks city in Xuanzimen. If he showed the map of the city of the eight gates to Nu Thirteen, he would probably have doubted life.

After all, it has been developed for hundreds of years. The slave families in the barracks city are intertwined, and all kinds of facilities are also extremely complete.

At this time, the slave on horseback spoke, "Let's take a look at it when we have a chance, let's enter the city first." I'll take you to see the head of the Jade Vice-Soldier!"

With that, he took the lead and galloped down the hill. Slave Thirteen took the map scroll into his arms and drove his horse to follow.

There is a general head and twenty-eight deputy soldiers in the Xuanzimen barracks city.

The slave Wanyu in Nu Chen's mouth is one of the twenty-eight deputy soldiers.

A person who can be the head of the army not only has good combat skills and strong strength, but also has a huge family force behind him as a support.

Nu Wanyu is a descendant of the ninth generation of slave soldiers in his clan, and his relatives are supported by people who are slaves.

Only those with such an identity and background are qualified to become the head of the army and make others obey orders.

......

Soon, Nu Thirteen and Nu Chen set foot on the long street.

When they entered the alley, they had to slow down and ride their horses slowly.

The surrounding palaces and pavilions are lined up one after another, and there is an endless stream of colorful characters on the road.

When you enter the city street, you will be greeted by various commercial buildings on both sides, as well as wine shops and pawnshops.

Pedestrians on the streets are either walking in groups or alone.

There were many people sitting together talking and laughing at the window position of the restaurant pavilion, and from time to time they looked at the slaves and slaves who rode into the city street.

......

They didn't stop in the neighborhood for long, but went straight to the camp.

The barracks city is divided into two parts: the district and the barracks area.

The street is occupied by the mansions of the major slave families and the residence of the clansmen.

Only slave families with status and status are eligible to own private residences in the city.

And the barracks area where Slave Thirteen is going now is the place where the slave soldiers assemble, train, guard, and patrol every day. It was also a place for new slaves or first-generation slaves of lower status.

Today, it was the turn of the deputy head of Nu Wanyu to be stationed in the barracks area to be on duty.

Therefore, this trip requires seeing Nu Wanyu, and with his consent, Nu Chen can arrange for Nu Thirteen to enter the slave camp to become an official slave soldier, and record his name in the list of slave soldiers in the affairs cabinet.

......

After walking through the city for more than an hour, I finally came to the barracks area.

The sun was about to set.

Sitting on horseback, Slave Thirteen looked at the huge camp in front of him.

Through the holes in the wall of animal bones, you can see that there are more than a dozen castles arranged in order according to some rules.

Beneath the castle are thousands of tents of various sizes.

The difference in architecture also represents the difference in the identity of the occupants in it.

The Slave Leader's tent is not the same as that of a regular Slave.

The head of the chief soldier does not live in tents, and if he comes to the barracks area, he will live in the castle.

Under normal circumstances, the head of the army will not come to live in the barracks area, and the head of the army has a more comfortable mansion in the city.

Unless a Slave comes with some covert mission, they will meet in the Barracks Castle.

......

The tents of the deputy heads were huge.

Twenty-eight lieutenant leaders, each with their own tent.

While on duty, they don't want to live in a room where other people's scent remains.

The lieutenant chiefs sometimes had business meetings, so their tents were usually gathered in the middle.

As he got closer, Slave Thirteen finally saw the impressive wall outside the barracks.

That's usually called a rampart.

It was a barrier made of huge antelope bones, about eight or nine feet high.

To build such a wall, it is estimated that tens of thousands of antelope beasts would have to be hunted!

The branches and forks of the antelope beast's bones are divided into two rows and inserted into the earth.

A sentry tower was built on it, an iron frame was laid, and a shelter was erected.

There were sentry slaves standing on it, observing the movements around them.

The barracks area is relatively close to the Beast Mountain, and sometimes hungry beasts or ferocious beasts with a little intelligence will appear. Therefore, there must be guards to patrol to ensure that no beasts suddenly attack and cause damage to the slaves.

......

As he approached the rampart, Nuchenle stopped his horse and leaped down.

Slave Thirteen had no choice but to jump off his horse.

I saw Nu Chen shouting at the antelope beast bone barrier, "Hundred people have entered the camp!"

When the sentry slave in the shelter on the rampart heard this, he poked his head out and looked down.

By the light of the torches that had been lit, the slave soldier could see the slave dust and the slave thirteen.

He asked in a loud voice, "Who is the other one?"

"It was a new slave soldier I brought in, named Slave Thirteen. You need to see the head of the deputy soldier of Wanyu before you can record it. ”

After a few brief interrogations, the sentry shouted to the ground sentry inside, "Open the door!"

After that, the gates of the camp were opened, which were covered with bones and thorns.

Slave Dust and Slave Thirteen led the horse in.

When the two entered, the camp gate was closed again by the guards guarding the door.

Nu Thirteen, who was walking behind Nu Chen, looked at Nu Chen's back and thought, "It turns out that his status in the barracks city is the ...... of a hundred people."

In fact, there is a very elaborate and strict hierarchy in the barracks city.

They have a very complex organization.

From low to high, they are slave soldiers, slave soldiers, slave soldiers, slave soldiers, 50 slave soldiers, 100 slave soldiers, 1,000 slave soldiers, deputy soldiers, and general soldiers. Generally speaking, if you cultivate to reach about three levels of the Naling realm, you can become the commander of the slave army if you cultivate three kinds of combat skills. The Captain can complete the mission with five ordinary slaves, and each Captain has one Captain.

They can act alone or in conjunction with other captains' groups.

......

If you cultivate to reach the fifth level of the Naling realm and possess five combat techniques, you can become a slave soldier.

The commander of the slave soldier can control ten men.

......

Those who cultivate to reach the seventh level of the Naling realm and master the seven types of combat techniques can achieve fifty lengths and control the number of slave soldiers fifty.

......

Cultivating to reach about the ninth layer of the Naling realm, master nine kinds of combat techniques, can be a hundred people long, and control a hundred slave soldiers, that is, just like slave dust.

......

Cultivating to reach the tenth level of the Naling realm, mastering more than ten combat skills, and being able to be a thousand people.

......

As for the position of the deputy head of the army, not only must the cultivation power reach more than ten layers, and the combat skills must be good, but also have a deep-rooted family background.

The head of the general army in a door, not to mention.

The head of the Xuanzi Gate, Nuye Yan, has reached the fourteenth layer of the Naling realm with the power of cultivation, and has twenty kinds of combat skills, and is a descendant of twelve generations of hereditary slave soldiers.

Nuno Iwa had long been qualified to run for the Slave Guard, but he just didn't want to.

Being the emperor of the soil here is much more comfortable than being a slave guard.

In fact, the real reason is that he needs to think about the whole family, so he will be willing to be a general soldier and not climb up.

In a successful slave family, it is important to have cronies who are slave guards or even slave generals, but at the same time, it also needs to have people who encircle and manage the lower forces.

This is the survival strategy vision of a big family.

For the little people, those survival strategies are redundant, and it is better to climb up at the first opportunity......

......

Follow Nu Chen all the way into the barracks area.

Nu 13 saw that on the iron frame along the road, there were all kinds of blades and tools, and all kinds of vehicles were parked in the open space.

There are many vicious mountains in the White Bull Mountains that are infested and born of fierce beasts like the Animal Beast Mountain.

Once there is a fierce beast that can endanger the lives of slaves and even slaves in the veins, the chief soldier will issue a hunting order.

The slaves need to bring these sophisticated equipment in order to fight against the ferocious beasts that absorb the aura of spiritual jade and grow.

Ten, fifty, hundred, ten, or even 100,000 people all have to carry different equipment.

Slave soldiers of up to 100 men were required to carry iron knives, dry rations, ropes, cooking utensils, tents for 10 or 100 people, containers for food, and bags of water made of pigskin or cowhide.

Thousands of slave soldiers are formed in a team, and iron shields, fine iron whetstones, shovels, and armor are added.

They even had to carry dozens of water bags made of a whole cow's hide, tied up with their limbs head and tail, and sewn on their backs.

This thing can be used to hold a lot of water, and it can also be used to swim across river valleys.

In the season when the beasts form a tide of beasts, it is necessary to organize a team of more than 10,000 people, and they need to travel long distances, so they need more marching equipment.

During the hunting march, the short march and encampment were all camped in chariots, that is, the kind that slept for one night and got up in the morning.

It was a kind of wagon of baggage, which carried grain, armor, tents, and wooden fences of the camp, and made knife carts, and formed a circle, and dug trenches outside the camp, and set up horse repulsion arrays, antlers, and digging pits.

The reason for this is to be in case you will suddenly encounter a tide of beasts when you are resting at night.

During the season when fierce beasts breed in large numbers, it is easy to form a large tide of beasts and fierce beasts.

These beast tides roam among the major mountain regions, and if they suddenly attack people, it will be quite tricky.

......

Of course, a well-equipped army of 10,000 slave soldiers is not limited to dealing with fierce beasts or beast tides.

The immortals and the immortals often compete for territory, resources, and the ownership of mineral veins, and even power wars.

Under the rule of Immortal Emperor Duanmu Ke, mortal battles were generally not allowed to break out among immortals.

Therefore, the slave soldiers, slave guards, and slave generals who are loyal to the various immortal forces have become pawns in battle.

They fight to the death in place of their masters and compete for interests.

Therefore, slave soldiers will also go to the geographical borders for these reasons.

If it is against the slave army of other immortal forces, several watchtowers or bow towers must be built when stationed, and in order to ensure sufficient safety, a watchpost will also be simply built. Slave sentry and slave scouts will be arranged.

When the two armies face each other, there will be a hundred commanders leading hundreds of slave soldiers to open roads and build bridges in the front, reconnoiter the terrain, occupy favorable terrain and wait for the large army to come and set up camp.

......

The 100-man long forward is not only the fastest to run in front and fight to the death with the enemy, most of them are 100-person elders and slave soldiers who are not weak in cultivation and have extraordinary combat skills.

The more powerful ones can take out the enemy's hundred-man vanguard and occupy favorable terrain and set up camp. If there are a lot of soldiers and horses on the march, more than tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, the troops will generally be divided into several routes, otherwise the marching route will be too long, the end will not be connected, and the baggage supplies will not be able to keep up.

An army of 100,000 slaves participated in the war, and the amount of baggage, equipment, blades, and food required was enormous.

......

Growing up in a slave cave, Slave Thirteen feels new to everything here.

He'll soon learn that it's not just the slave cave. The days of being a slave soldier in the slave barracks were also a game of life and death with deep knowledge.

All the slave soldiers are the chess pieces on this chessboard, and the opponents are the immortals who are delusional even if they have the qualifications to meet the previous one.

......

Soon, some slave soldiers greeted him politely when they passed by him, or came forward to salute him.

As a first-generation slave soldier, Nuchen can sit in the position of hundreds of people, and he also has some ability.

At this point, he had his horse and Slave Thirteen's horse taken away, and the two of them continued to the large tent in the middle of the barracks.

But as they went deeper into the camp, there were fewer and fewer people who greeted Nuchen.

In the end, he became a slave and took the initiative to greet others politely.

This shows that they have approached the tent where the commander of the thousand-man and even the deputy head of the army with a higher status is on duty.

Soon, Nu Chen led Nu Thirteen to a large black tent.

The huge tent was surrounded by nine tents of 1,000 men, and guards guarded outside the tents.

Outside the tent, two rows of braziers were lit, illuminating the room as bright as day.

Presumably, this is the duty residence of the deputy head slave Wanyu.

Nu Chen walked outside the tent, smiled at one of the guards, and said, "If you are troublesome, you will say that the hundred people are long and Nu Chen wants to see you." ”

The guard nodded, and went inside.

It didn't take long for the guard to walk out and say to the slave, "Go in." ”

Nu Chen thanked him, and then beckoned Nu Thirteen into the tent.

When he entered the tent, Slave Thirteen saw an extremely obese-looking black-robed man in the room, facing a large table of pork bones and meat, eating a lot of food, and his face was greasy.

There was a slave beside him, who was cooking some thick porridge for him to quench his thirst.

In the huge tent, there are braziers every three or five feet, which illuminates the inside of the black tent brightly and warmly.

Nu Chen led Nu Thirteen closer and knelt on one knee. Nu Thirteen had no choice but to kneel down on one knee to this fat man.

"The hundreds of subordinate people have been slaves and have seen Lord Wanyu. ”

Nu Wanyu raised his fat palm, wiped his mouth and face greasy, and said sullenly, "What are you looking for me?"

With a smiling face, Nu Chen replied, "My subordinates have just selected a good young man from the slave cave, and I want to receive an appointment from my subordinates, so I have come to pay a tribute to Lord Wanyu. ”

Nu Wanyu took a sip of meat porridge, opened his pig-like eyes and looked at Nu Thirteen.

Then he said, "Yes, from the slave cave...... It seems that it has been a long time since our Xuanzimen received the slave soldiers selected from the slave cave......"

He picked up another bone and took a bite of the meat,

Xiang Nuchen asked, "How did you remember to go there and pick people back?" Could it be that you, as a hundred-person leader, have trouble running out of manpower?"

Nu Chen hurriedly responded, "The subordinates are sufficient. It's just that this child was personally selected by me from the slave cave, and for a while, it reminded me of the time I used to spend in the slave cave, so I was moved by compassion and deliberately took it under my command. ”

Nu Wanyu nodded his fat head.

"Hmm...... In that case, then you can take it back. ”

After that, he instructed the slave next to him, "Take a blank piece of paper." ”

The slave quickly got up, prepared a blank piece of paper, found a clean space on the table full of pork bones, and placed it in front of him.

Nu Wanyu took out a seal from his waist and pressed it on the white paper.

Pick up the white paper with oily fat hands and hand it to the slave maid.

After doing all this, he couldn't wait to continue eating.

Nu Chen took the greasy paper with the seal of the deputy chief soldier with both hands, and said loudly, "Thank you, Lord Wanyu!"

Nu Wanyu waved his hand, "Okay, there's nothing else, you guys just retreat!"
