"Da da da~"

"Xuxu~"

A cavalry team galloped along the official road. After the leader raised his hand, the cavalry team of three hundred people stopped suddenly and stood quietly on the official road.

A city rising from the ground stood in front of everyone, and there was a faint murderous intent.

Looking at the majestic pass in front of him, Chen Yue reined in his horse and moved forward, smiling: "The momentum of this Jianmen Pass is quite different from that of other state capitals in Shuntan and Shuntan."

Flags were flying on the top of Jianmenguan City, arrows and crossbows were densely scattered, and the guards were crowded with people coming and going, filled with a sense of killing.

A large frontier army flag fluttered in the wind, with the word "cool" written on it.

Although the other cities in Shuntan and Shunzhou also have Xiongguan fortresses and numerous soldiers, they are far less murderous than Jianmenguan.

The reason is for no other reason than that Shuntan is the rear area, and after passing Jianmen Pass, the entire Yanyun Prefecture is the frontline.

Therefore, the entire Jianmen Pass is always in a state of preparation for war.

Yan Yun can throw it away if he is anxious, but he must not throw it away at any time when the sword gate is closed.

The terrain of Liaodong will also change significantly from here. To the south of Jianmen Pass, there are mostly flat and fertile black soil and dense forests.

To the north is surrounded by mountains and rolling yellow sand, which is where the white bones are buried.

Xie Xiaolei grinned and said: "After all, this is the last barrier in Liaodong, so you can't be careless."

Jianmen Pass has always been guarded by Benlei Cavalry. For such an important place, Chenyue handed it over to Xie Xiaolei, which shows Chenyue's trust in him.

Xie Xiaolei has never been disappointed in Lai Chenyue. He started as a small commander of a crossbowman and reached his current position step by step. Among the coaches of several field cavalry armies, he was the latest one to join the Liang Army.

"Let's go~"

Chen Yue waved the riding whip in his hand: "Take me to see the city defense!"

…

The north and south city walls of Jianmen Pass are extremely wide, thick and tall. After the recovery of Liaodong, Tong Chengxiang once again invested a lot of manpower and material resources to strengthen the city walls.

The northern city wall that now appears in front of Chenyue has six horse paths for walking up and down from east to west. The horse paths are gentle and about four feet wide, allowing for rapid passage of infantry and cavalry.

Less than a mile away from the foot of the city was a military camp, stationed with one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry.

Once Jianmen Pass is attacked, they can go to the city to defend in the shortest possible time.

There is an arrow tower every twenty steps on the top of the city, which contains two bed crossbows and six light crossbows, and is guarded by twenty soldiers.

Just this small arrow tower is enough to defend a city wall about four feet wide.

Even looking back at it today, I still find it unbelievable that Xie Xiaolei Qianqi broke through the sword gate. Thinking about it makes me tremble with fear.

Chenyue and Xie Xiaolei were walking around on the top of the city, and Leng Guinan was following them.

Chenyue held the bricks and looked outside the city: "That Wan Yanliang from Beijin suffered a lot here."

"Haha~"

Xie Xiaolei smiled slightly: "He could not stand on the top of the city of Jianmen Pass to take a look at the black soil of Liaodong until his death."

"Hahaha~"

The loud laughter of several people attracted the attention of many soldiers.

Now thousands of soldiers of the Thunder Riders in the city have been transferred, led by deputy commander Bian Luan to cooperate with Wentian Siqing to exterminate the blood droplets, otherwise there would be many more soldiers in Jianmen Pass.

The guards at the top of the city stood up straight after seeing Xie Xiaolei's appearance, with a strong momentum, and some were even looking at Chenyue secretly.

They had heard the news this morning that Prince Liang was coming to Jianmen Pass for inspection. Who else could accompany Xie Xiaolei besides Prince Liang?

Chen Yue nodded with a smile on his face, made some comments about the city defense, and then stopped beside a crossbowman.

The crossbowman was a young man, probably around twenty years old.

Seeing Chen Yue stop in front of him, he could clearly feel that his body had become stiff and very nervous.

"Can you show me your bow?" Chenyue smiled, very kindly.

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing the word "I", the young man started to stumble when he spoke, but his hand movements were very deft and he had already handed the bow and arrow to Chen Yue's hand.

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】

This is a standard crossbow from Liangjun. The string is made of special hemp rope. It has good texture and is easy to pull. It is also low-cost to make.

Chenyue pulled the bow and said with a smile: "This is really powerful."

The young crossbowman smiled innocently, not knowing how to answer the question.

"Here, shoot an arrow and show me the king!" Chen Yue smiled and handed the bow and arrow back.

The young soldier was stunned. He took the crossbow and didn't know what to do. Could it be that he really wanted to wield a sword in front of the prince? What if he was embarrassed?

Xie Xiaolei said carelessly: "Just do whatever the prince tells you to do, coquettishly, like a girl!"

The young man's cheeks became even redder, and he took out a wooden feather arrow from his quiver, strung the arrow, raised his arm and bent the bow:

"Whoosh!"

The feather arrow drew a semicircular arc in the air and stabbed into the yellow sand outside the city.

"Okay~"

“Not bad~”

The soldiers who were closer let out quiet cheers.

The young man who shot the arrow took a breath. In order not to be embarrassed in front of King Liang, he used all his strength to shoot the arrow.

The arrow fell six or seven steps farther than usual, which earned him applause from his comrades.

"Not bad, hahaha!"

Even Chen Yue gave him a thumbs up.

Xie Xiaolei started to boo from the side: "Your Majesty, it's not easy for you to come to Jianmen Pass, no matter what, you have to show your skills to the brothers, right?

Come with an arrow! Come with an arrow!"

"One arrow! One arrow!"

The soldiers also followed suit.

"Okay, okay~ give me an arrow." Chen Yue took the crossbow with a smile and pulled the string casually.

"Chi~"

Immediately, Chen Yue exerted force and steadily pulled out the bowstring.

Because of the strong force, the entire bow was bent into a semicircle, giving the impression that if more force was exerted, the bow would be broken.

"Whoosh!"

In the eyes of hundreds of soldiers, the arrow flew out sharply and plunged into the dazzling sunlight.

"Pfft~"

The arrow landed on the ground, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking at high speed. Many people hurriedly leaned on the city wall to take a look, and suddenly there was a series of gasping sounds.

"Hiss~"

Because the arrow hit the ground ten steps faster than the previous soldier, even the archer with the strongest arm on the city was not confident that he could shoot such a far distance.

"good!"

"Good arrow!"

After a moment of slight silence, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the top of the city.

Being able to see Prince Liang's archery skills with their own eyes would be enough for them to brag to their colleagues for the rest of their lives.

Chen Yue put away her crossbow, scanned the whole city, and shouted loudly:

"Soldiers of Jianmen Pass!"

There was a moment of silence on the top of the city.

"I hope you will always remember that Jianmen Pass is the last barrier between Shun and Tan states!

Behind you are millions of fellow countrymen, brothers and sisters!

If one day, foreign enemies invade our territory! I hope you can use the bow in your hand to tell those barbarians.

The bow in my Liang Jun's hand is the greatest truth in the world!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Waves of roars echoed through the sky.
