Wulindu, Jinjun Water Village.
A captain who was about thirty-five or sixty years old, with dark complexion and piercing eyes, was fully armed and carrying a knife on his waist. He was followed closely by more than a dozen generals and sergeants, pacing back and forth in the camp, talking to each other from time to time.
Looking at the archery tower next to the stronghold, the defender on the tower was shouting something. When he saw something he was dissatisfied with, he would step forward and scold him mercilessly, such as now.
The captain pointed to an arrow tower and said sternly: "Why is this shield erected so high? It is higher than a person's height. Standing behind this shield, people are safe, but how can they observe the river surface?
What's going on? If the enemy comes in from a dive, can you see clearly? Commander Liu, please answer me."
This man named Liu Junzhu was the former commander of the garrison at Wulindu. His name was Liu Zunlong. He was the general of the Jin Army and the younger brother of Liu Yu’s nephew Liu Zunkao. This captain was specially sent by Liu Daogui to assist the defender.
So is Lin Zihao, the captain of the guard of Wulindu. Although Lin Zihao's military rank is not as good as that of Liu Zunlong, the military leader, because of Liu Daogui's special appointment, he even specially brought control from Wulindu to Matou Camp.
There were tokens from the defenders all over the east, so Liu Zunlong could only follow him and patrol the camp obediently.
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Liu Zunlong's face, and he said for a moment: "Captain Lin, the wind and waves on the riverside are strong, especially when the wind blows. Our ferry's Dazhai, this archery tower stands on this promontory, with three sides.
Surrounded by the river, with the river wind, waves hit the rocks from time to time, splashing on the soldiers' faces and bodies, so the shield was erected a little higher to make the guarding soldiers live more comfortably."
Lin Zihao said sternly: "Now is not the time to covet comfort. For the sake of a little comfort, I have lost the ability to monitor the river. It will not be comfortable when the enemy kills me. Please replace these shields with ones that are two feet shorter. No matter what
How about, I need the sergeant guarding the tower to be able to see everything on the river at any time."
Liu Zunlong murmured: "You will have to be constantly hit by the river water, and the clothes and armor on your body will get wet."
Lin Zihao sighed: "Let the sergeants guarding the tower wear raincoats. They rotate them every hour. They don't need to wear armor underneath to avoid getting wet. When they come down, be sure to keep warm by the fire. This sentry tower is mainly for surveillance. If you really want to guard the tower,
, dispatch again
Having said this, Lin Zihao turned around and faced behind him. Wearing a white tassel helmet like him, he was obviously a member of General Zhengxi's guard like him and said: "Master Li, please arrange for ten guard brothers to take turns guarding here.
If you see an enemy situation, sound the gong urgently to announce."
The name of the leader of the building was Li Lang. He was a native of Jingzhou. He was promoted in Liu Daogui's guard because of his strong martial arts skills and cautious work. In a few years, he had reached the position of the leader. He nodded quickly and said: "Understood, I will arrange it."
, I will personally guard this place."
Lin Zihao nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Captain Li, the brothers from Wulindu have been here for more than half a year and have suffered from the storm. It's our turn to endure the hardship this time. Commander Liu, look at this."
What are the arrangements?"
Liu Zunlong said coldly: "Since the owner of the building is willing to personally guard it, that's the best. However, sometimes there are not only winds and waves on the river, but also heavy fog, especially in the early morning and night. If there are thieves who take advantage of the fog to come, they must also
Mr. Li, please see clearly."
Li Lang smiled slightly: "Before I joined the guard in the expedition to the west, I was a sailor in Huanchu's navy. Not to mention the morning fog on the river, even at night, I could see clearly the river one mile away.
Chu, for example, there is a fisherman sitting on the big rock on the other side fishing, can Master Liu see it?"
Liu Zunlong's expression changed, and he shouted towards the sentry tower: "Si Heizi, show me if there is a fisherman fishing on the reef opposite?"
Soon, a voice came back from the sentry tower: "There is indeed such a fisherman fishing. Such a big wind and wave is also here. It must be a trick."
Liu Zunlong's face didn't look good, and he said bitterly: "Okay, okay, come down here. You can't see anything to report if you stay up there. Let's go back and watch the beacon tower."
Lin Zihao immediately said: "Master Liu, I will personally guard this beacon tower. This is what Liu Zhengxi specially ordered when he sent me here, and it is also the military order this time."
Liu Zunlong's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "What does this mean to conquer the west? Can't you trust us garrison brothers? We have been stationed at Wulindu for more than half a year, but has any enemy or spy ever passed by?
"
Lin Zihao said calmly: "No, Master Liu has done a good job in the past six months. If it weren't for the current enemy, I should have rotated you this time, and then returned to Jiangling to be promoted."
Liu Zunlong gritted his teeth: "In that case, why does this most important beacon tower need to be guarded by a different person? Is it because we can't trust our brothers, or is it because we are too slow to light the beacon?"
Lin Zihao smiled slightly: "Liu Junzhu is overthinking. Our Wulin Ferry is usually a ferry connecting the north and south of the river for pedestrians and merchants to pass. Even if there is a war now, the army of monsters and thieves was not there before. After the Battle of Jiangling, this place has always been the same as the one in the south.
Changsha Crossing is relatively close to each other, and the enemy and ours are also in contact with each other. There is not much difference in peacetime. At most, some spies want to sneak in, but your army leader Liu has captured and killed forty-seven spies in the past eight months. These achievements
, Liu Zhengxi can see it clearly."
A trace of pride flashed across Liu Zunlong's face: "Ever since my eldest brother helped me win this important position, I even sleep with one eye open. I just know that this place is important and nothing can happen to me.
Ask the brothers here, do I, Liu Zunlong, sleep on the pyre of the beacon tower every day?"
The personal guards behind him quickly responded: "That's right, Commander Liu really never relaxes."
Amidst the flattery, Liu Zunlong looked at Lin Zihao: "Captain Lin, actually, I thought you were here to assist me as a reinforcement, but since you have the token, then I will see Liu Zhengxi, so of course
I have to obey your orders. However, my seven hundred brothers have been stationed here for more than half a year. They are loyal and reliable and are familiar with the environment here. Important places such as sentry towers and beacon towers. I think it is better for us old brothers to take charge.
Guard well. If a strong enemy really attacks, killing the guards is what elites like you are good at."
Lin Zihao sighed softly: "If even we have to fight against the guards, it means that the enemy's sneak attack has been successful and they have directly entered the stronghold. Commander Liu, at this time, can you guarantee that the beacon tower can send out a signal?
