Liaozhou.
Canglang Yuanwubao.
There are rugged mountains on both sides of Canglang Plain, and they are still densely covered with miscellaneous trees and shrubs. As long as the road in the center of the valley is passable.
Canglang Yuanwubao is located here.
Five hundred people from the Liaozhou Army of the Han Dynasty were placed here.
Yu Wengui, who had just been promoted to the command of this unit, immediately felt a headache after leading his unit to Canglang Yuanwubao.
Yu Wengui is a branch of the Yuwen family in Liaozhou. His talents are good and he is officially qualified to join the army.
Before coming, Yu Wengui thought that Canglang Yuanwubao was a complete fortress.
However, when I arrived, I found that the place was very shabby.
All five hundred people could only spend two days repairing the houses, and then digging a circle of trenches to increase defense.
"Dig deeper for me!"
After Yu Wengui inspected it, he immediately came back and issued the order.
"Sir, the brothers are all a little tired. After walking so far to get here, they have to cut down trees, dig ditches and build walls. They can't do it at all." said an officer of the Liaozhou Army.
"Yes, sir, the roads here are rugged and the terrain is narrow. Even if the Dingling people come to invade, they won't be able to get many people. These trenches are enough." Another person also advised.
Although Yu Wengui was a little dissatisfied, he was still considerate of his soldiers.
"Okay, but this trench is our fate, so we can't be careless. Early tomorrow morning, we will send people to cut down more trees and make more antlers to block the road ahead."
Yu Wengui's decision can be regarded as a compromise.
After all, after marching continuously for many days, we still need to take a short rest.
"As you command, boss!"
After Yu Wengui's order was issued, the entire soldiers in Canglangyuan Fortress were filled with joy.
They all felt that this could not be the initiative of the Ding Ling people. At most, there would be 1,280 Ding Ling people coming.
It doesn't take that much effort at all.
Xi Wu punched his sore shoulder, feeling very happy in his heart.
Because Commander Yu Wengui hunted a wild boar in the mountains today, there will be large pieces of pork in today's meal.
Since coming to Liaozhou Army, Xi Wu has been very happy every day.
In addition to daily work and drills, in this army, you can eat almost every meal, and there is a lot of meat every now and then.
This is much better than being a herdsman on the grassland of my hometown. It is as high as the sky.
What's even more gratifying is that during my days in the army, I encountered almost no fighting or danger.
You can eat and drink without worrying about safety.
On such days, for Xi Wu, it was simply a matter of being silly and having fun every day.
After eating a meal of fatty lard rice, the sky quickly became dark.
Xi Wu returned to the barracks and went to bed early.
Tomorrow morning, everyone will go into the mountains to cut wood.
With the blessing of a good mood, Xi Wu slept very soundly. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already early the next morning.
They needed to go into the mountains early to cut trees, so Xi Wu took advantage of the bright light and prepared to queue up for breakfast earlier.
Just as Xi Wu walked out of the barracks, he suddenly heard a harsh gong sound.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Xi Wu's heart sank, this was a signal that he discovered the enemy's situation.
Could it be said that someone from Ding Ling appeared?
Xi Wu didn't know what to do, but saw the commander Yu Wengui step forward.
"What's going on!" Yu Wengui asked loudly.
"Sir, there is enemy situation and a large number of troops are marching!" said a lookout sentry from a high place.
"What? How many are there?" Yu Wengui asked quickly.
"No less than ten thousand or twenty thousand, maybe even more!" the sentry shouted.
Yu Wengui was shocked when he heard that so many enemies were attacking.
Before Canglangyuan Fortress, he had heard that the location here was not very important and it was impossible to encounter too many enemies.
"Quick, bring my horse over here!"
Yu Wengui shouted and rode forward with two soldiers.
He wanted to see first how many enemies were coming.
Yu Wengui climbed up to a hill not far away. From here, he could see all the ten miles to the north.
"hiss!"
As soon as he climbed the hill, Yu Wengui immediately took a breath of cold air.
In the distance, on the plain outside the mouth, large swaths of troops were marching, kicking up dust all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun like a sandstorm.
"My lord, look!"
One of the soldiers pointed his finger and shouted at Yu Wengui.
Yu Wengui turned around and saw that not far from the hill, some scattered cavalry were cruising back and forth, heading in the general direction towards him.
"It's a scout from the Ding Ling people!"
Yu Wengui took a rough look and found that there were at least two to three hundred Ding Ling scout cavalry coming towards the hill.
The main force of Ding Ling in the smoke and dust behind them was at least tens of thousands of people.
"Quick, go back!"
After Yu Wengui finished his investigation, he immediately patted his horse and rushed back.
Some Ding Ling scout cavalry had already discovered them, and they were also urging their horses to chase like crazy.
However, the distance between the two sides was always very far, and when Yu Wengui and others ran back to Canglangyuan Fortress, they did not let them catch up.
"Quick, use the fastest speed to report the news of the enemy attack!"
