Dai County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the direction bordering Quang Ninh County to the east is Pingchuan River. This plain is rich in water and grass, fertile land, suitable for cultivation and grazing, and is a rare land in northern Xinjiang. The main rivers that flow through this area are Luoshui, Luanshui, Zishui, Qiyishui, etc., and the meandering rivers flow between the forests and grasslands, forming a natural irrigation system, as if the blood is surging in the energetic trunk.

The camp of Lu Yao's army was set up in the northeast of Dangcheng County, at the confluence of Luoshui and Qiyishui. The terrain here is complex, the confluence of the two rivers is extremely open, and there are several continuous islands in the center. To the north of Luoshui, there are large swamps, wetlands and forests, where many birds and beasts of prey are infested; The terrain on the south bank is high in the west and low in the east, and the Qiyi water is surging day and night, cutting out a deep river valley, the west bank of the river valley has a large area of cliffs of a height of several feet, and the east bank is a large area of pebble beach.

The location of the camp was on the high ground on the west bank of Qiyi River, and thousands of men and horses spread out, occupying a large area within a radius of several miles. The Hu'er people in northern Xinjiang have always been very casual about the matter of camping, and almost all of these men on horseback are cavalry, fighting on horseback, dismounting and resting, and have never had the habit of stationing and setting up fortifications. But Lu Yao's department is not only cavalry, there are also many Zahu tribes in Daijun who have sinicized living habits and take farming as their business, and the soldiers they provide are all foot soldiers.

Lu Yao used these foot soldiers as labor and quickly set up a fortress-like camp of considerable scale. First determine where the main formation of the Chinese army is, and set up logs as a base around the formation, with a square of 200 steps. The logs are divided into two columns, the outer side is high and the inner side is low, and the wooden planks are erected on it, which becomes a simple trail. Three hundred paces away from the main formation, there are four camps in the front and back, left and right, and the same method is used to travel the wall, but there is no communication with it. Between the camps, different functional areas are divided into facilities such as horse rejection. In addition, it was necessary to erect government posts every 100 steps, that is, sentry posts erected on high places with wooden posts, not only to observe the enemy's situation, but also to indicate the road in the camp.

At this point, the preliminary layout of the camp has been completed, and in the future, the four outer camps will be connected by wooden barricades, and then the trenches will be dug according to the situation, and the dock wall will be complete.

Wei Yuzi once said: "If you can't enter Guo Yu, you can't retreat without obstacles to fight against the war, and those who are not good are also good." It is said that Zhuge Liang raised tens of thousands of soldiers to drive Qishan, and the scale of the camp was like the construction of hundreds of thousands of troops. Therefore, he can advance and retreat freely, attack and defend tenacity, so that King Sima Xuan can only protect himself by taking ten times the land in the world, annexing the people, taking the prison city, and owning the elite.

Lu Yao also attaches great importance to the construction of barracks, and he always believes that for an army that contains quite foot soldiers, a strong barracks is the basic guarantee for advance and retreat. What's more, this place is the easternmost point of the Luochuan Plain centered on Daiwang City, and it is a strategic place that Lu Yao must firmly control. After capturing Luochuan, Lu Yao had already sent men to survey it, and now he took the opportunity of moving his troops eastward, and was even more determined to build it into a permanent dock fort.

In order to build this barracks, the sergeants and soldiers of the army were all busy, and some of the wild beards were quite displeased. However, Lu Yao responded with the old method of heavy rewards and heavy punishments, and a large number of seized materials and money were distributed like a stream, and dozens of heads that had been beheaded for violating military orders were hanging high outside the camp at the same time. So everyone worked enthusiastically, and there was no slackness.

At this moment, Lu Yao and the others returned on horseback, and hundreds of horses and fish followed. They stepped directly across the shallow Qiyi water of the river, stirring up churning white waves, and their momentum was as strong as a gray dragon flying close to the ground. The officer on duty saw it from afar, so he waved his flag on the watchtower and ordered the gate of the camp to open.

The barracks are very strict, even if they are high-ranking generals, they must report their names and identities when entering and leaving, and they can only be opened to pass after verification. The only one who can pass directly and unimpeded is the commander-in-chief of the whole army.

When Lu Yao entered the camp, it was at the height of the training of the officers and men of the Chinese Military Academy. I saw countless military flags held high, iron horses running back and forth, and soldiers shouting and practicing endlessly. Although the equipment of these Hu warriors is still shoddy and the banners may not be neat, the fierce spirit that comes from everyone comes together, which makes people feel murderous. And those once unruly Hu'er saw Lu Yao's figure from afar, so they got off the horse early and bowed down, showing the prestige of the main general of the first army.

In a sparse forest about a hundred steps away from the camp gate, a group of Jin soldiers were resting in the shade of a tree. Their task was to completely cut down the forest, which was enclosed within the camp area, and cut it down into simple timber and firewood for the use of the armies. It is not easy to do heavy physical work under the scorching sun, and even the chief Ni Yi poured a whole bag of cold water around his neck, and felt that his throat was smoking, so he temporarily lent his beloved big axe to his old subordinate Ado to use, and carried the water bag to the stream by the forest to fetch water.

was humming a tune on the side of the road, walking unhurriedly, only listening to the sound of hooves, Lu Yao and the others swept by like a whirlwind. Ni Yi hurriedly bowed down, and after a while he raised his head and looked at the cavalry entering the Chinese army.

"Look! Look! Ni Yi smacked his lips and spat out the dust. He looked fixedly at the direction in which Lu Yao disappeared, with a yearning look on his face: "There is an old saying, how do you say it?" A manly man should be so majestic! ”

"The same is true of the husband." He was reminded.

"Hmm......" Ni Yi nodded, clasped his hands to his chest, and said in a deep voice: "The eldest husband should be like this......

Before the words fell, the back of Ni Yi's head was snapped and slammed, and suddenly his ears buzzed, and he staggered.

Turinus stuffed a full bag of water into his arms, snatched the empty bag with his backhand, and shouted, "You don't dream much!" Want to be an emperor? Don't hurry up and work! ”

It's funny to say, although Turinus is a foreigner, he has come and gone, and the adaptability he has honed is not trivial. In the past, when I first arrived in the Great Jin Dynasty, I had worked hard to learn the literary system of the national dynasty, and I was Luoyang Zhengyin when I opened my mouth, and I was also very familiar with the canonical records such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Historical Records, and even the Han Li. This can literally make his illiterate minions of his subordinates die of shame.

The strength of Lu Yao's department has grown so rapidly that it is impossible to control it by relying on the dozens of warriors of the state, even if Lu Yao actively recruits talents from the old department of the begging army and the people of Jisang, it still seems insufficient. Therefore, in these days, among the surrendered horse thieves and Hu captives, a few have also emerged who have been promoted to key military positions. Seventeen years old, but the Xianbei horse thief boy who is already smart and strong is now Liu Yao's right-hand man. And Turinus, who claimed to be the chief centurion of the Fifth Legion of the Roman Empire, had a higher status and already led more than 200 soldiers.

These men were all lowly people buried at the bottom of the tribe, but the continuous battle was like someone using a grate to frantically stir up the stagnant river sand, and finally pulled out the brilliant gold. With their real combat exploits, they were all vigorously promoted by Lu Yao, and they became the backbone of the army in a short period of time.

Ni Yi is one of the three team leaders under Turinus, but the strict personality of Turinus does not like Ni Yi. In his opinion, the young soldier was too lazy. It's a pity that most of the 200 people under him are Wuhuan people who are not reliable enough, but Ni Yi is the old department of the beggar army, and he is from the imperial court official army, so this team leader has to use it.

Ni Yi is also a little resentful of Turinus, this barbarian has a high nose that is not human, with deep eye sockets and curly hair. looks so strange, and comes from other tribes of the Huns, and the origin is suspicious...... How did such a person suddenly become a self-ruler? How dare you do it!

He rolled his eyes, let out a sudden exclamation, and threw the water bag out with a slam.
