Under the hazy rain curtain, many black spots floated in the distance. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was a phantom caused by the rain curtain.
"Where is it?" I didn't see the bamboo pole at first, but as the real lookout on this tower, I didn't dare to neglect it. However, I looked in the direction I usually observed and found nothing unusual.
"That." Chen Mo stretched out his finger and pointed to the northeast.
The bamboo pole looked in the direction of Chen Mo's finger. It was not the direction he usually observed. On this border line, Huqiu Fort was located at the front with the widest view, but it was not all within the sight.
This is the place monitored by Tiger Hill Fort. Most of Tiger Hill Fort is staring at the camp directly ahead.
Zhugan narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched, and he really noticed something unusual. A loud whistle sounded in the fortress, and soon, a vigorous figure ran out of a room and climbed onto the observation deck.
"Commander, look over there." The bamboo pole pointed in the direction Chen Mo pointed just now.
The three of them were silent for a while, and then the corps leader said, "Damn it, a sneak attack on a rainy day?!"
Generally speaking, combat is generally not carried out on rainy days. Not only is the road difficult to travel, but there are also many uncertain factors. Therefore, the corps commander quickly rejected the idea of attacking with a large army, and judged from the black spots, the number of people was also small.
Not much, so what is their purpose? Do they want to forcefully break through the border and enter? Or...for a moment, the corps commander thought about many possibilities.
"Good job Zhugan, I will reward you with a chicken drumstick tonight." The team leader patted Zhugan on the shoulder, and then jumped off the observation deck.
Zhugan wanted to say that Chen Mo discovered it, but when he saw that Chen Mo seemed like nothing happened, he simply swallowed what he was about to say and muttered in his heart: "He won't mind, right? Probably not."
The team leader quickly gathered a few people, put on their equipment, and gathered at the school ground.
"Li Quan, you go back to the rooftop and report there that there are enemies attacking in the direction of Maoyan Feng. I will take people there to see the situation first." The corps leader ordered, and then a man rode up alone, and the rest followed the corps leader toward Maoyan Feng.
Rush over to Feng.
Generally speaking, there is a distance of ten miles between the beacons here, but because the location of Tiger Hill Castle is slightly superior and the view is wide, the nearest beacons among them are nearly thirty miles away, which is why they can have so many here.
Because of people, otherwise a beacon fort can only have less than ten people, and some are even less, with only three or four people. Of course, Huqiu Fort is not just a beacon fort, but it has other uses.
"Let's go." Chen Mo said lightly, feeling that there was nothing interesting to see, so he left the observation deck.
...
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the team leader came back with a man and a horse as trophies. There were ten people when they went out, but now only two people came back, which was really worrying.
"Alas, three people died, and five people stayed at Maoyan Feng to guard." Ergouzi said with a sigh while eating breakfast.
"How many enemies have died?" Santengzi seemed not to care about the life and death of his companions. This cannot be said to be ruthless, but just a habit.
"More than a dozen enemies came, and their target was Maoyan Feng. By the time the corps commander and others arrived, they had already killed Maoyan Feng. When the corps commander arrived, he repelled them. Three of them fled back, and the rest
All dead."
"Damn it, it's hard to wait for an enemy. The corps commander didn't take me with him. It's obviously partial." Santengzi said angrily.
"If you want to die so much, I'll take you with me when I get down." The corps commander appeared in front of them at this time and said looking at San Bengzi who always wanted to kill the enemy.
"Really?!" Santengzi didn't understand the meaning of his words and stood up excitedly and said.
"False." The corps commander said angrily: "A young boy who knows how to act like a hero will wait until he has mastered his skills."
"What a young boy, if you give me a girl, I can let her have a baby." Santengzi said unconvinced. "Besides, how can you make progress without seeing blood? Isn't that what you said?
"
"I'll let you see the blood after I've had a good sleep. Don't wet your pants then." The corps commander glared at him, then didn't look at him. Instead, he looked at Chen Mo who had been sitting on the bed and said:
"The bamboo pole said that you were the first to discover those people. In that case, you go to my place and pick out some armor yourself."
Chen Mo looked at this man who others always called him Captain. According to the number of people he led, he was at least a centurion, but people liked the title Captain, so why did he care so much?
"Can you give me a knife?"
"No." Wu Zhang decisively refused without giving Chen Mo any reason.
"The armor is pretty good. I'll take this boring gourd to pick it out when the time comes." Santengzi hugged Chen Mo and kicked Chen Mo as he agreed.
"It's okay, but please keep your hands and feet clean." The team leader glanced at him tiredly. He didn't sleep all night and had a fierce battle all night. Now he hurried back to catch up on his sleep.
"Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"
"Did you steal too many things from me?" the corps commander asked back, then ignored Santengzi who was smiling awkwardly and walked back to his room.
After watching the Wu Commander leave, Santengzi punched Chen Mo on the shoulder and said: "Okay, Meng Gourd, you have such a bad eye. You have made great achievements so quickly. Although you can only change to one piece of armor, it's okay."
That's good. Aren't you very afraid of death? What kind of knife do you want? Armor is a life-saving charm."
"I happened to see it, luck."
"Why don't I have such luck?" Ergouzi also said with some envy.
"Just you? If you stare at that book all day long, many things will escape you. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. What have you prepared?" Santengzi said disdainfully.
"Tch." Ergouzi didn't refute him.
...
After that incident, Chen Mo got a chance to look out, and he was considered the best among the gang. The others were still working hard to strengthen the fortress. In fact, Chen Mo disliked this position the most. It was not only boring, but also
Don't be distracted by other things.
Soon, Huqiu Fort received praise from the rear with little practical significance for this incident, and was rewarded with a pitiful amount of food and fodder.
When Chen Mo was on duty, he stayed at the Gaotai Mountain every day, looking at the unchanging flat land, blowing the cool wind, and waiting for the next time when he didn't have to watch the wind.
Although there was no large-scale war here, there were still small-scale probings and sneak attacks. What happened at Maoyan Feng was not an exception. According to the words of the commander at the time, if it had not been discovered in time, after Maoyan Feng was quietly occupied, the border would
A small gap will appear in the line. It may not seem to have much impact, but in fact it poses a great hidden threat to Tiger Hill Fort. If the enemy steals the beacons on both sides of Tiger Hill Fort without anyone noticing, Tiger Hill Fort is likely to be destroyed.
It was swallowed up by the army, and then a big hole was torn out.
After this incident, the corps commander asked those who went out on patrol to be more diligent. Chen Mo was also curious about how this corps commander, who was actually a centurion, could be so loyal to his duties.
Spring has passed and autumn has not yet arrived, so you still have to enjoy the hot sun.
In order to get a cooler place, Er Gouzi climbed up to this high tower that he rarely came to. As for San Bengzi, their best friend, he has been very excited recently. As long as the corps commander sends him to patrol, he will
He was willing to meet the enemy's scouts countless times, but he was never able to do so. In time, he met several times, but they were far apart, and his thirsty sword began to protest.
"I heard that the situation in Saizhou is not very optimistic. They suffered several defeats and the Shang army advanced for more than ten miles." Ergouzi usually chatted most with the captain, and he thought he was chatting with Chen
Strangers are the most chatty.
"I heard that the border guard king was a disaster star. Wherever he went, he fought wars. The three northwest states were lost because of him. If he hadn't been the eldest prince, he would have been beheaded by His Majesty the Emperor."
"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs." Chen Mo said calmly.
"It's easy to say. If we lose, it's not him who dies, but us unimportant pawns." Ergouzi curled his lips. "But there were good things after he came. You know, we used to be completely self-sufficient."
, there is no food at all, like rice, flour, etc., I dare not even think about it. It is fine in other seasons, but in winter, there will be no meal at all."
"Er Gouzi, what are you doing up there?" the sergeant shouted in a thick voice from below.
"I didn't do anything, just came up to get some air." Ergouzi tilted his head and looked down.
"You kid, go to Xiao Dongfeng's place and have a look."
"Okay." Ergouzi agreed and said to Chen Mo, "I'm leaving. You can take your time by yourself."
After saying that, Ergouzi climbed down the stairs in a hurry, fearing that the rude team leader would kick his butt if he was slow.
Each beacon team will communicate with each other on a regular basis, fearing that something unexpected will happen. If in the past, they could occasionally be lazy, but now that the war has begun, the corps commander is a responsible person, so he will let his subordinates
People should be more diligent.
As the days passed, Chen Mo knew more and more things. The large army of Shang State didn't seem to be interested in them here. They just watched Saizhou and fought hard. Maybe because the terrain here is not very good, it is easy to
If it is difficult to defend, attack Saizhou first.
If Saizhou is lost, they will become the spearhead here, and it will be uncomfortable to be flanked by them. However, it seems that although the enemy has advanced for more than ten miles, they still have not formed a breakthrough trend. It will take a while.
I can still keep my edge.
This may be a protracted war that will last for several years, but it is impossible for him to stay here for several years. Chen Mo thought to himself and turned his attention to the side where the war started. Should he volunteer to fight there?
Take a chance?
"Menghulu, Menghulu." Santengzi shouted after returning from his inspection tour. "Where did Ergouzi go?"
"Out."
"Oh, you don't know. Just now, just now, there were only two country bumpkins between me and the scout on the opposite side. Damn it, if I had advanced a little further, I would have had sex with them." Description of Santengzi and Chen Mo dancing happily
