In the vast grassland, in the dark night, from a distance, the fire dragon that had been winding for a day slowly wriggled forward.

"Centurion, you see we've been walking for more than an hour, everyone hasn't eaten dinner, the adults are nothing, the key is that the children can't help it! See if we can stop for a while, and let everyone pad first before leaving!"

The centurion who walked at the front of the team was also upset at this time, after all, this was a long march, and the old man and children couldn't go fast at all. The adults in the back said that the key is that the children can't stand it anymore, and the children's cries keep coming. At this time, seeing Di Qiu coming to request, he was also very embarrassed and pursed his lips: "Uncle Di Qiu, it's not that I'm not kind! You look at the wilderness, you can't be sure when and where one or two wild beasts will run out, just think of us at that time, there are only a hundred or so of us, how can we protect you are also seven or eight hundred good people! In fact, we have a rest stop every fifty miles, but we are the old man and the child with a big push, plus so many items, which causes us to walk too slowly, and the time feels unusually long. You advise everyone to bear with us, and we will rest when we get to a safe place. ”

After listening to the centurion's explanation, Ogiaki could only nod and go back to let everyone bear with it. In fact, everyone knows that there are many fierce beasts on the road from Ogijiazhuang to Tuyuan City (Pisces City), and they also know that the centurion's rapid march is for everyone's life safety, but the old people and children can't stand it!

"Hey, isn't this Ah Cheng from Jiucun?"

After walking for more than an hour, Diqiu and the others finally came to a rest stop outside Qinglong Town, Pisces City. It is said to be a rest station, but this rest station is not small at all, covering an area of about ten acres in size, surrounded by stumps more than one zhang long, forming a temporary protective barrier. Ten meters outside the barrier, a raging fire burned to prevent the beasts from attacking. Whenever a new team arrived, there would be a special soldier to pick a gap in the fire and let them in. And this protective barrier will have a watchtower every ten meters or so, and each watchtower will have three soldiers on it, patrolling the surrounding movements.

In the open space of more than ten acres surrounded by tree stumps more than one zhang high, even though it is late at night, it can be illuminated as if it were day by the braziers of the watchtowers and the piles of bonfires in the clearing.

The old man who was called by Di Qiu to be Ah Cheng turned his head and saw that it was Di Qiu from his neighboring village, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Oh! It turns out that Ah Qiu! It turns out that you have also joined Pisces City, great! Ah Qiu, come here! A few of our brothers from the twenty-five villages are here." ”

Hearing Ah Cheng's greeting, Di Qiu asked his family to go to the arranged rest point to rest with the staff who had replaced the centurion, and he walked over to the old brother and chatted.

"I didn't expect that the city lord of Pisces City would use such a big effort, and the twenty-five villages under the jurisdiction of one of our deputy liao courtyards alone would use an army of less than 250,000. Ah Qiu doesn't see that there are piles of threes, threes, twos and twos, maybe they are all gathered in a pile of the same sub-dormitory like us, it seems that our Dijiazhuang is in big trouble this time!"

After all, they have all lived in Ogijiazhuang for many years, although they are often bullied and **, but they still have a deep affection for this place, and they can't help but talk about the current situation of Ogijiazhuang while chatting.

Hearing the final decision of the owner of the village, Di Yunlong, the hall master of the Xifang Dizi Hall finally broke out: "The owner of the village has been so unscrupulous, can we still endure it?" I think the previous analysis of the deacon of the north room was very correct: this time the action of the city lord of Pisces City seems to be very big, but they do not mean to eat our Dijia Village, because it is not beneficial to push them like this. Pisces City has just been established after overthrowing Tuyuan City, and the surrounding forces that were previously attached to Tuyuan City are very unclear, and in this case, a strong crusade will inevitably make the various forces feel cold, so they will rise up one by one. ”

Listening to the analysis of the hall master of Xifangdi, Di Yunlong held the tea bowl in one hand and the lid in the other hand and gently supported the tea leaves floating on it back and forth, lowered his head and seemed to drink tea, but he couldn't help nodding slightly.

From this, it can be asserted that the purpose of Pisces City is not to crusade against our Dijiazhuang, but because their battle in Pisces City has just ended, the lack of personnel attrition, coupled with their large-scale construction and substantial expansion, has led to the extreme shortage of people in all aspects of Pisces City, so we have our current situation. ”

After listening to the elaboration of the hall master of the West Room, Di Yunlong pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want, the hall master?"

"I'll admit that we don't have what it takes to compete with Pisces. But we can't just make a turtle with a shrunken head and let others slaughter it because of this. At the very least, we have to make our gestures and show them that Pisces is acceptable as long as we are measured. They must have thought that we would resist, otherwise why would they have stationed troops in every village?"

"Owner, I am willing to be the first in the world to do this waystone. ”

At this time, Di Yunlong and Deacon Beifang exchanged glances at each other, smiled slyly and said, "Okay! The courage of the hall master of the Xifang Dizi Hall is commendable, and the master of the village has agreed! I wonder which hall master is willing to go with him?"

"The owner, the subordinates are willing to go with him. ”

"Owner, and me!"

"Owner, count me in"

As soon as Di Yunlong's words fell, the other three halls in the west room stood up one after another. Seeing that his four subordinates asked for battle, and the owner of the village at this time did not react much, the head of the west house shook his head helplessly, and also stood up: "The owner of the village, the subordinates will definitely win!

"Okay! The owner of this village is here to wish you success!" Finally waiting for the weighty people to come out, Di Yunlong put down the tea bowl: "Everyone has also worked hard for a day, the head of the West House and your hall masters hurry up and go back to rest and rest, tomorrow will inevitably be a bloody storm." ”

When it was dawn, the men of the garrison at the rest station where Ogiaki was located hurriedly began to wash rice and cook. Although they kept chopping vegetables and the constant sound of pots and spoons, it did not wake up the sleeping people, after all, the long march and the late rest, so the sound of whirring and sleeping was also constant······

"Toot, toot, toot, ... The sound of horns woke everyone up, and just before everyone knew what was going on, they heard all the soldiers on the lookouts around the rest station shouting "Beast attack, beast attack ·····".

"Dut... Dut···· Toot ·

"Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Non-combatants immediately gather in the middle of the rest post, and don't affect the movement of combat troops!"

As soon as the soldiers at the lookout discovered the beast attack, more than a dozen heralds stood in different places with horns and guided the villagers to move to favorable locations.

At this time, the commander in charge of the rest station also gave the order to fight.

For a time, wolf smoke was emitted on all sides of the rest station at the same time (wolf smoke is a fireworks signal lit on the beacon tower when the ancient border guards discovered the enemy's situation. Although it is called "wolf smoke", it is not actually made of wolf dung, and if wolf dung is used as fuel, it is difficult to collect a large amount of wolf dung, and the smoke from the wolf dung does not rise straight when it is burned. The reason why it is called wolf smoke is because the wolf is a totem commonly admired by ethnic minorities such as the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Tibetan in ancient times. His army was called "wolf soldiers" by the Chinese at that time, and its monarch was called "wolf lord". Therefore, it is logical that the ancients called the beacon fire signal ignited when these peoples invaded the Central Plains "wolf smoke". ）·····

"Trebuchet ready!"

"Trebuchet ready!"

"Trebuchet ready!

······

In just two or three minutes, the inner edge of the rest stop was quickly filled with trebuchets·····

"Visually inspect the beast attack at a distance of 5,000 meters·····!

"Visually inspect the beast attack at a distance of three thousand meters! Prepare for the first wave of attacks! Ignite! Release!"

For a while, fireballs with a diameter of more than a foot flew all over the sky and quickly drove into the distance. But the attack didn't stop, and then the second, and then the third, and the fourth·····

"Whoa, whoa, whoop·····"

The villagers who were hiding in the rest stop heard the screams of wild beasts in the distance, and they were so frightened that they squatted on the ground and trembled·····

"Report! Urgent military situation!"

"What's the matter? It's early in the morning and doesn't let people sleep peacefully!" Li Bingsan, who was still asleep, was suddenly woken up by the heralds, and the boss was reluctant in his heart, he also knew that it was an extraordinary time, so he didn't dare to slack off, and said while getting dressed: "Come in! What's the matter?"

After the commander of Wan Hou agreed, the herald entered the big tent together accompanied by the military advisor and all the commanders, and after saluting Li Bingsan one by one, the herald knelt on one leg and clenched his fists: "Lord Qi Wanhou, just now the No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 rest stops, almost at the same time put wolf smoke to call for help, please decide!"

"Damn, I don't believe it's a coincidence that all five rest stops under my jurisdiction are being attacked at the same time, someone must be causing trouble. Di Yunlong, I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeves! What can you do with me?" Li Bingsan heard the herald's report, his mind spun rapidly, and then he held the token in his hand: "One or two thousand commanders, you quickly lead the headquarters to quickly support the No. 1 rest station, if there is any hesitation, military law will not tolerate it!"

"Order!"

"Order!"

"Commander No. 3 and No. 4, you should rush to the No. 2 rest station immediately, and there will be no delay!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

·······

Everyone understands people, and after Li Bingsan gave the order, the ten commanders and the military advisor knelt on the ground together: "My lord, you sent out all the combat teams, what if Di Yunlong's old thief attacks?"
