Awakened by the noise outside, Yan Long returned to reality from his state of thought. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this moment, what caught his eye was a tent full of ice crystals, and he was shocked in his heart, and said: "It's not good, I forgot that there are still people guarding outside the big tent, I don't know if the explosion of Xuan Li has hurt anyone?!"

Yan Long jumped up from the bed and came out of the tent!

I saw a group of people gathered outside the tent, looking at the yurt covered with snow crystals with awe, pointing and whispering, but no one dared to step forward to within twenty steps of the yurt.

After Yan Long came out, everyone's expressions became respectful, and some herdsmen even knelt on the ground, chanting words in their mouths, and kept kowtowing to Yan Long.

The two guards outside the tent have turned into snowmen, and their bodies are covered with ice crystals, but fortunately, the breath of the two is still there, as long as they slowly warm up, it will be fine.

Yan Long admired the somewhat "brainless" professionalism of the warriors of Gegen, and he hurriedly beckoned a few people and ordered the two warriors to be carried down and treated according to the method of frostbite.

"Fortunately, it hasn't been long since he entered the Eight Cold Hell to cultivate, and the power of Xue Luo's Xuan Ice is not strong, otherwise these two people are afraid that they will be frozen into ice cubes. Yan Long thought to himself.

Within a day, the herdsmen in the tribe saw the two "divine powers" of Yan Long's ice and fire, which made Yan Long's image even more towering and transcendent!

In the next few days, in addition to gathering all the cavalry that could be mobilized for training according to Yan Long's requirements, Gegen also restored all the slaves to civilian status, and incorporated the male ** who could go on horses to fight into the army, which expanded the number of cavalry in Gegen to nearly two hundred!

In these few days, in addition to practicing, Yan Long was directly involved in the consolidation and expansion of the Dazhai fortifications.

Under the supervision of Yan Long, everyone put in 200 percent of their energy, and the work efficiency increased greatly, which made some of the basic projects in Dazhai take shape as quickly as stacked bricks.

However, Tra and Buzhigood were accustomed to the steppe tribes' wide open and fast fighting methods, and they did not understand Yan Long's behavior of "building fortified cities to hold on".

Because Yan Long mobilized all the manpower, he nearly doubled the original Daying Village. The camp in Gegen is already large, and after such an expansion by Yan Long, it can almost hide nearly 10,000 soldiers inside!

Tra asked Yan Long, "Deputy Hall Master Yan, do you want to use all our strength to fight a defensive battle with the Eagle Division?"

Yan Long shook his head and said, "No, although our tribe's camp is strong, the terrain does not have any special advantages, and it is a place where there is no danger to defend and no power to rely on, which is not conducive to long-term holding. The reason why I am doing this is just to gather all our cavalry in the camp and wait for the right time!"

After hearing this, Tra's face became a little ugly, and he said in a tone full of suspicion: "Deputy Hall Master Yan, doing so will wipe out all the advantages of our cavalry!"

Yan Long smiled: "I know. But at the same time, such an arrangement will also wipe out all the cavalry superiority of the Eagle Division! If we come face to face with the Eagle Division at the beginning and engage in a head-to-head confrontation, our cavalry strength will be quickly rushed across by them!"

Terra asked, "And what do you mean?"

"Avoid its edge first, frustrate its sharpness, and then look for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle!" Yan Long said confidently and resolutely.

Tra Dao: "I know that the Han people are very good at building cities, but our camp is not as good as the city, once the eagle division brings siege equipment, even if our camp is strong, it will be breached." ”

"You have been in the grassland for so many years, have you ever heard that the Eagle Division will bring siege equipment when fighting?"

"Not really, but what if there is?"

Yan Long said: "The advantage of the Eagle Division lies in the quality of the cavalry, and in the past, when fighting against the grassland tribes, it has always used this strength to win. If they want to conquer the Gegen, it is unlikely that they will abandon their strengths and weaknesses!"

Yan Long's remarks were reasonable, but Tra still raised her own objections, and his objections were well-founded.

He said: "It is said that the Eagle's Nest is a fortress in the Gobi Desert that can never be captured, since the Eagle Master can build such a strong castle, won't he be good at attacking the fortified positions?"

Yan Long said: "I have also considered this aspect, but when it really comes to that point, we don't need to worry." ”

"Why?"

"Because offense and defense are completely different concepts, the attacker needs at least five times as many people as the defender to gain an advantage, and the attacking side has many more casualties than the defending side. As long as our camp can arrange everything according to my requirements during this time, even if the Eagle Division really brings siege weapons by then, we will be able to hold out until the decisive battle. Yan Long said confidently.

Seeing Yan Long's resolute expression, Tra gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then do what Deputy Hall Master Yan wants!"

A few days later, the major tribes in the grassland adjacent to Gegen received a letter of alliance from Gegen on the joint resistance of the Eagle Division, but as Yan Long said before, there were few responders.

Some of the big tribes even drove the emissaries of Gegen out of the gate!

There were two small tribes that were very supportive of Gegen's righteous deeds, and the Tulu tribe mentioned by Buzhigood was one of them.

The leader of the Tulu tribe was publicly skinned by the Eagle Division, and this deep hatred caused the entire tribe to grit their teeth and want to kill everyone in the Eagle Division. Therefore, as soon as Gegen proposed the alliance initiative, they immediately sent all their elites, plus another alliance tribe, and this alliance added a total of 700 cavalry to Gegen, and brought nearly 500 people who could defend the village and build fortifications.

In this way, nearly 2,000 cavalry men were gathered within the Gegen tribe, and these people were the main force at the time of the charge.

In addition, Yan Long also sent people to send the old, weak, sick and disabled, as well as surplus cattle and sheep to the pastures of the Tulu Department. What was left within the tribal village was all the soldiers who could fight.

The total number of these people is 4,000!

There is a gallop road built in the camp, which extends in all directions, and can run horses, which is used for the rapid deployment of mobile forces.

The top floor of the stables where the horses were tied and where the soldiers were hidden was covered with mud in addition to thick cowhides, and the number of columns and beams was doubled according to the original construction specifications, so even if a trebuchet threw down a boulder, it would not cause much damage.

Everyone in the camp was divided into eight thousand teams by Yan Long, although the establishment of each thousand team was dissatisfied, only five hundred, but when the people in the village called each other, they all called each other the so-and-so of the first few thousand people, and talked as if there were eight thousand people in the village.

Eight thousand men worked in shifts, day and night, to build fortifications and store food. With the large investment of manpower and Yan Long's sleepless supervision, various fortifications in Dazhai were quickly erected.

Ten days passed imperceptibly, and Dazhai became a strong military fortress.

During this period of time, Yan Long's figure spread all over every corner of the Gegen and saw everyone in the Gegen. His self-confidence and optimism, as well as his own powerful aura, impressed everyone, and made everyone feel uplifted and full of hope.

This approach, as if the commander was patrolling the border, steadily revived the morale that had been fearful and somewhat depressed.

On the eleventh day, Yan Long was deliberating with Terra and Burigood in the Great Tent.

A samurai came to report: "Kukuo Kuo took about 300 of his subordinates and quietly left!"
