The moment she stepped on the Great Wall, Sun Lan, the prince of the Qin army, stopped thoughtfully, and the shining starry sky inlaid with countless points of light surrounded her in an instant.

Landing on the Great Wall at night, the whole person seemed to float above the boundless starry sky, and countless stars seemed to float around her at once, but this illusion disappeared all at once. The mouth of the Great Wall of Chaigoubao is the northwesternmost frontier of Shanbei Prefecture, where the two tributaries of the East Yang River and the South Yang River converge to become the Yang River flowing eastward, and it is also an important outlet of Xinzhou to the northwest of the city. It is located at the intersection of Saiwai, Hedong and Hebei, and has the name of the three provinces of Jiwu.

The Great Wall was built here since the Zhao Kingdom, and the ancient Great Wall has been superimposed, repaired and used by several dynasties such as Qin, Han, Northern Wei and Northern Qi.

This section of the Great Wall is about 200 miles long. The construction of this section of the Great Wall includes rubble dry masonry, earth and stone mixture, earth ramming and mountain walls. In the territory of Huairen, there are 70 miles of the Great Wall, and there are 59 enemy platforms and beacon towers along the Great Wall. Although today, the Great Wall has fallen into disrepair and has been damaged and collapsed in many places. But it is still like a giant dragon winding between these mountains.

Walk on top of the city walls. You can look down on the mountains at night.

A momentary feeling precipitated from the heart. Gongsun looked around again, and the enemy platforms on the high Great Wall stood not far from each other.

The enemy platform in front of him is a hollow enemy platform, which was repaired by the Qin army in Xinzhou when the rangers were on guard in this area to serve as a stronghold, and it became the temporary headquarters of the King of Qin at this time. This platform is located on the inner side of the city wall and is roughly square in shape. The base is built with prefabricated strip-shaped stones, and the wall above the base is built with rectangular blue bricks around the staggered joints to the end, and the whole enemy platform has obvious points from the base to the wall. From the outer surface, the wall is a trapezoidal shape with a narrow top and a wide bottom.

There are battlements around the top of the wall, and lookout holes are placed on the battlements.

The bottom of the platform is three zhang long, three zhang wide, the platform is two zhang five high, the buttress is two feet three high, and the daughter wall is stored under the battlement, which is two feet three high.

This kind of enemy platform is solid at the bottom and hollow in the middle, which can be used as both a battle and a warehouse for storing supplies. and a shelter for the soldiers to rest. And the platform on the top of the enemy's platform can fight with height. It can also be used as a beacon tower, and can be lit when there is an alarm.

In the vast middle layer of the enemy's platform, several layers of thick cowhide cover all the battlements of the enemy's platform are impervious to the slightest light, inside the platform, a horse lantern illuminates the light, the wall hangs a military map, there is a sand table in the middle, a group of generals are discussing in a low voice, and the young staff officers are walking back and forth, constantly adding some small flags to a pair of maps and sand tables. They seem to be busy, but they are also methodical and have a surprising sense of coordination.

A vague smell faintly irritated Gongsun Lan's nostrils, the peculiar smell secreted by people in a state of battle and nervous tension, and the strong smell of tea and milk, and even a bit of alcohol, which was the most familiar to him in the pre-war war room.

The beautiful woman strode towards the center of the enemy platform, although she was a woman, she was still a beautiful woman, and she was the woman of the King of Qin. But Gongsun Lan likes the position of supervising Zhongcheng, and likes to always wear a strong armor on weekdays. Sometimes, she also felt at a loss because her age and gender were not commensurate with her rank, and she could not accept the fact that they were already the three major dukes of the Qin Domain as freely as the two women of Megan and Julie.

The generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, Shang Shuling, and Li Jing, the king of Qin, sat on the chair, staring at the vast expanse of land on the sand table placed in the center. Gongsun Lan approached him and faintly felt a sense of oppression in the air, which is what people will always feel when they are close to this man.

"Are you planning to conquer this vast expanse of the outer world? Your Highness! ”

After Gongsun Lan's greeting with a chuckle, Li Jing turned his gaze away. Although he was sitting there, the python robe with the main color and the red color as the supplement, was still suitable for his well-proportioned limbs, showing more and more refined masculinity.

Li Jing is a man who always looks too white and handsome, nearly thirty years old, but the whole person still looks like an elegant scholar. His jet-black hair and fair face are as delicate as jade carvings on his nose and lips.

With sword eyebrows and starry eyes, those dark eyes are as sharp as a flying eagle, and sometimes they can bloom with a light like a cold sword. The palace ladies in the Forbidden City said that they were beautiful and ambitious eyes, and the soldiers said that they were the eyes of heroes and kings. Either way, Gongsun Lan was sure that his eyes were the kind of talking, affectionate, and sometimes sharp as knives and arrows.

"Well, what a vast grassland!"

"You can conquer it!" Gongsun Lan said with a smile.

"No, we can win this war, and the next war with the steppe tribes, and even the next war. However, we can only defeat it for a while, but we will not be able to truly conquer him, at least, not now, or even in hundreds of years. The steppe is too vast, but that's not the real reason why we can't conquer him. The real reason is that out of here, in the vast grassland, the annual rainfall is extremely low, and it is impossible to grow food at all. For us Han people, where we can't grow food, it's another world, and we can't conquer them, at least not now. Li Jing said with a sigh, coming from later generations, he knows very well why the Central Plains Dynasty has been able to defeat these Hu people for thousands of years, but he has never really conquered them. Opposite. The Han people are in the south. All the way to the south. Conquered one barbarian tribe after another, reduced them together, and expanded a huge territory to the south. The key reason is that the rainfall, the Mongolian plateau, is only suitable for nomadic herding, and cannot grow food, which is an unsolvable problem for the Han people.

He looked up at his assistant and the woman, "It seems to be much more fitter." My skin is much more rosy! ”

"It's much darker than before. Your Highness, I am now following the army all day long, and I am afraid that I am already old and yellow, and the flowers and willows have been lost. ”

"It's called a healthy complexion, and I feel like you're more attractive now."

There was a bit of coaxing in Li Jing's voice, and Gongsun Lan smiled slightly. If a woman is sexual, she loves relaxation when she is sexual, and she loves relaxation. She is well aware of this. Especially following a man like Li Jing, who has never lacked beauties around her, she needs to determine her position. Compared with only relying on beauty to please Li Jing. She prefers that she can become the assistant that Li Jing needs, so that the favor she has received will not weaken.

"By the way, what's the matter with you?"

"Well, something about Hulu. The urgent report just sent back by the Military Intelligence Bureau that Li Si'an and Dong Zhang had successfully rescued Li Siyuan and lured 20,000 Hu cavalry to approach Chaigou Fort here. ”

Li Jing nodded, "How did the two guys do it?" ”

"I have to say that the two Yanai are indeed as smart and capable as you value, after they left the Great Wall, they marched all the way to the place where Li Siyuan was besieged. Li Siyuan's luck was really good, he was surrounded by 20,000 Hu people in a valley not far from Yang Lin. Those Hu people actually did not attack, but only besieged and did not attack, wanting to make Li Siyuan, who had no food and no water, starve to death and die of thirst, and choose a cheap one for nothing. As a result, Li Siyuan got a critical respite and waited for reinforcements. After Li Si'an and they arrived, they did not attack with the whole army, but only led by Li Si'an to raid the Hu camp with 3,000 people, set a few fires, and broke through a camp tent. As a result, when Hu Ren saw this, he decided that Li Si'an was just a small cavalry that went deep into the lone army, so Hu Lu, who was very angry, followed after Li Si'an's ass and rushed here. ”

Gongsun Lan said as she took a pencil and quickly drew a brief situation map on the paper, "The red arrow is our subordinate of Li Si'an, Li Siyuan, and Dong Zhang, and Li Siyuan still has three thousand horsemen left, adding up to thirteen thousand people. The blue arrow following behind is a coalition army of 20,000 tribes, mainly the Tatar Alliance tribal army, of which the Khitan soldiers and horses have only one battalion, which is only responsible for liaison and coordination. And here, the black arc is in front of us, it is our soldiers and horses who are waiting for work, according to the current direction and speed of calculation" She took out a silver chain from under the jade neck, and a golden pocket watch was hung under the silver chain, pressed, the pocket watch cover popped open, and a small but very realistic pencil portrait appeared in the cover, which was a portrait of Li Jing and Gongsun Lan snuggling together drawn by Li Jing himself. She glanced over the portrait, a happy smile on her lips, and then glanced at her pocket watch, which was pointing to three o'clock in the morning.

"I expect to arrive here in about an hour, at half past five in the morning, just as the sun rises in the east."

Gongsun Lan continued to use a pencil to mark some roads, mountains, the Great Wall, rivers, etc., and then noted the strength of each side on the side. Hu cavalry 20,000, combat effectiveness is average, not elite. Li Si'an, Li Siyuan, and Dong Zhang, three generals, 13,000, tired soldiers, ran long distances to rescue and lure the enemy, and their combat effectiveness was insufficient. The garrison of Chaigou Fort, with a total of nine corps and 50,000 soldiers and horses, had been here for almost an hour, and when the enemy came, they were at their most energetic.

Due to the major intelligence mistake of the Military Intelligence Bureau last time, the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Central Intelligence Agency have worked together to dispatch a large number of intelligence personnel to the outside of Cyprus, so that the accuracy of the current military information transmitted back is quite high.

"Oh, 20,000 miscellaneous fish are really catching up with me alive and dead. If you don't want to catch big fish, I'm afraid that you can kill them with the 13,000 tired troops of Li Si'an's three generals. ”

"They do have the ability, and the chances of winning are at least eighty percent."

"But there is no need, let 13,000 tired soldiers deal with 20,000 Hu miscellaneous soldiers, although it can win, it will also cause at least thousands of casualties, which is not worth it. What's more, these Hu people are still very useful. The order was sent to the three generals Li Si'an again, telling them to abide by the military order, not to turn back and engage the enemy without authorization, and let them lead the Hu people here. In addition, be careful to hide your true strength and don't let the Hu people know about it. Otherwise, these fools may suspect our plan and be so frightened that they dare not chase after it. ”

"You say, those guys chased all the way here, and then suddenly found the lonely Wang Qi, their faces will be very exciting, right?"

Li Jing's fair face flashed with a malicious smile. For the upcoming war of tens of thousands of people, there was no nervous look on his face. There is thunder in his chest, and his face is like a peaceful lake, Li Jing's calm kung fu alone is enough to prove that he is enough to be a general.

"Those guys behind the Great Wall must have been unable to sit still and want to fight first, right?"

"Indeed, Monk Hua, Lao Hei, Eagle, Second General and all of them couldn't sit still, and they all shouted that they would lead their headquarters alone to annihilate these Hu people."

"Well, they're really getting a little crazy, and it's 20,000 horses."

"It's true, there are too many tailwind fights. Is a reprimand ordered? ”

"Nope! Call them in, I want to see their courage face to face. ”

Soon, in front of Li Jing, there appeared the Leopard Cavalry Army's main Modao General Lao Heiqiu Shengong, the Flying Bear Army's main Hua Monk Xuancheng, the Eagle Yang Special War Army Master Eagle Li Wei, the two generals of the three armies of the Guards, Wang Chong, and the generals of the Yi Qinxun Three Guards, the Crane Control Army, and the Second Army of the Pioneer of the Iron Cavalry Legion. These people are also the crazy and boundless group of old army leaders in Li Jing's mouth. However, this title is actually a bit exaggerated, because the eldest here, the governor of the five military mansions and the king of Qin who is in charge of the three armies of the guard, Wang Chong, is only in his thirties, and the eagle Li Wei is even Li Jing's younger brother, and Lao Hei and Xuancheng are only in their early thirties.

But these people are all the old ministers of Yuanzuo who followed Li Jing in the southern and northern wars at the earliest, and their seniority in the Qin army is indeed extremely old.

"King, there are only 20,000 miscellaneous soldiers, there is no need to bother King Qin to make a move, just let the soldiers of the three armies of my guard and pro-army do it for you."

The highest ranking among the people is the governor of the five armies, the three armies of the guards are all in charge, and the Baoguo Gong, one of the six princes, the second brother of King Qin Jieyi, Wang Chong, stepped forward and said. Before he joined the Qin army, he had the experience of being in the Shence Army, and later formed a union with Li Jing, and has always been dedicated to assisting Li Jing, whether it is actual warfare or military administration, he has rich knowledge and experience, and aside from his dazzling official title, title, qualifications, merits, etc., his loyalty to Li Jing alone is enough for him to grab this opportunity to send troops among the generals. What's more, he just threw three sixes in the competition with Lao Hei and others. (To be continued......)
