Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 81 Xirong Attacks
As the cool wind blew, Shen Yuexi sneezed.

She rubbed her nose, but she didn't expect the mountain wind at noon to be quite cold.

It was cold outside the Great Wall early, and a lot of vegetation turned yellow just after September.She collected rotting plants along the way, and she came near the North Mountain Pass of Xiaogang Village without knowing it.

I wanted to go back home, but not far ahead was the pass where Xiaogang Village resisted Xirong's invasion.It's the first time I've been here, so it's good to go and have a look.

Originally, all the villagers stationed here were villagers from Xiaogang Village. Since Mengyue came here, the soldiers were ordered to replace the villagers to station here.

When she walked near the pass, the sergeant who had been stationed had already greeted her, and said with a salute: "I have seen Mrs. Pei."

Accompanied by a sergeant, Shen Yuexi walked into the winding and narrow passage between the two mountains.In the wide part of the passage, three carriages can travel side by side, but in the narrow part, only a few people can pass side by side.The entire passage is about one mile long, with upright cliffs on both sides, about two people high, and it is difficult for a single person to climb up.Above the cliff is a slope full of tall Populus euphratica trees. The golden leaves dance with the wind against the noon sun. Looking from bottom to top, it looks like sparkling waves rising from the blue sky.

"The Xirong cavalry can only go through this pass," the sergeant pointed to the exit completely blocked by rocks and logs, "but if they make up their minds to climb the mountain, if they defend here, they will be flanked by front and rear attacks. "

Shen Yuexi nodded, standing near the exit, she turned her head and looked at the entire pass carefully.

As the sergeant said, although this place is dangerous, if the enemy makes up his mind to go around from the mountains on both sides, the strategy of blocking the entrance will be useless, and the defenders are in danger of being wiped out.

What if a pass is built here relying on two mountains?

At that time, there will be tall city walls on both sides. No matter which side the enemy comes from, the defenders in the pass will not be in danger.If the enemy attacks the pass, the defenders in the pass can flank the enemy back and forth with the defenders in Xiaogang Village.And vice versa.

What a great idea.Shen Yuexi smiled while thinking.Since Xiao Zhuo said that he wanted to develop here, Xirong must be guarded against.

Only stones are used to build the pass.The mountains on both sides can provide unlimited stone.Big Bear can keep making city wall bricks, but she can't move them by herself, and it is estimated that mobilizing the villagers of the entire Xiaogang Village is not enough.This is a big project, not something that can be done overnight like digging a well.

She was making calculations when a sergeant's voice sounded overhead.

"Look, someone is coming."

Shen Yuexi hurried up the slope with the sergeant accompanying her on the ladder, and looked to the north.

Out of the pass, to the north is the endless grassland.From a distance, I saw a war horse charging towards the pass, raising billowing wind and dust.There is a person sitting on horseback, and there seems to be another person behind him.

Several sergeants on the slope took off the bows on their backs one after another, and drew out their arrows.Shen Yuexi looked far away, saw the person coming, and shouted quickly: "Everyone put down your bows and arrows, I know the person who came."

The rider on the horse is Yang Cong. A few days ago, she went to the north with General Qiu Liming to scout Xirong's movements. Why did she come back alone?
Yang Cong also saw Shen Yuexi, she galloped to the front of the pass, reined in her horse and jumped off, shouting: "Come and help me, General Qiu is injured."

Everyone quickly put down the ladder and went down to the outside of the pass.Helped Yang Cong to help Qiu Liming down from the dusty man.

Shen Yuexi hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, Qiu Liming slightly opened his eyes and said, "It's okay, it's just a matter of losing strength, fortunately there is Miss Yang, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back alive."

"General Qiu, don't need to say much," Shen Yuexi turned her head and told the sergeant, "Send General Qiu back to the camp quickly."

Watching the two soldiers send Qiu Liming away, Shen Yuexi looked at Yang Cong who was panting on a rock with concern: "You were attacked by the Xirong people, are you injured?"

But in just a few days, Yang Cong's changes were so great that she felt like she would be treated with admiration after a three-day separation.

Her face was covered in smoke and dust, and her eyes were bloodshot.His hair was braided into several braids, and a war knife was slanted in his belt.There was a faint breath of a warrior.

"Miss Pei, I'm fine." Yang Cong rubbed his reddened eyes with the back of his hand, "We were met by Xirong's patrol... General Qiu protected me and killed me."

They pretended to be Xirong people to investigate and heard important information.However, on the way back, he encountered Xirong's patrol team, who saw through the disguise.Fortunately, Qiu Liming killed and robbed the horse, and escaped with Yang Cong.

"Miss Pei!" Yang Cong grabbed Shen Yuexi's hand, "Tell Young Master Pei that the Xirong army is coming here soon."

Shen Yuexi took off the water bag at her waist and handed it to Yang Cong: "It's okay, the sergeant has escorted General Qiu back, and everyone will know the news soon."

"There are a lot of them." Yang Cong took the water bag but didn't drink it, but stood up and said anxiously, "General Qiu said that the forward is a team of thousands of people, and it will arrive tonight. What should we do?"

Shen Yuexi was startled.Thousands of people, that is, at least 1000 people.

"So many?" She looked at Yang Cong in surprise.

The news is so shocking. 1000 people is not a small number, Xiao Zhuo only has [-] soldiers at hand, if he fights directly with the mighty Xirong army, it may be difficult to deal with.And Yang Cong mentioned the forward, meaning there is a Chinese army behind?

Are the Xirong people going to attack aggressively?

Now it's troublesome.

The sergeant next to him looked at the northern horizon and said nervously, "Miss Pei, Miss Yang, you should go back to the village. The enemy will appear at any time."

Shen Yuexi knew that it was useless for her to stay here, so she and Yang Cong crossed the pass and hurried to the village.

If the Xirong people invaded on a large scale, they would no longer be able to make small fuss like the previous looting.Xiaogang Village has just started to recuperate, when the flames of war broke out, the place may be devastated.

Xiao Zhuo had five hundred soldiers under his command, but everyone came here with bare hands and no weapons at all.How to fight the Xirong people?

It's okay to make the big bear a weapon, but there is no iron ore.They can't all be made into wooden guns and wooden knives.

When rushing back to the camp on the west side of the village, Xiao Zhuo was discussing with Meng Yue and others in the tent.All the generals surrounded Xiao Zhuo, even Qiu Liming was there, and the atmosphere was tense.

"My lord, the people who went to Dongji Town to purchase have returned." Song Zhen held a goose feather fan with a shame on his face, "Xi Rong does not allow any weapons to be sold in the town, and the sergeants sent there didn't buy anything."

Meng Yue curled his lips and said: "Xi Rong seems to have made plans a long time ago."

Xiao Zhuo glanced at Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong who walked into the tent, nodded to them, Fang turned his head and said to everyone: "According to what General Qiu said, the enemy's vanguard will arrive tonight. Although our soldiers have no weapons , but it is not without the power to fight."

Meng Yue spread his hands, showing a look of embarrassment: "My lord, how can we fight without weapons?"

"Victory with a strange army," Xiao Zhuo walked to the table in the middle of the tent, pointed at the topographic map, "here."

Everyone gathered around to watch, even Shen Yuexi moved up curiously.

Xiao Zhuo's finger was right on the pass.

Song Zhen's eyes lit up, swept away the depression just now, waved his fan and said, "My lord, I understand."

Both Meng Yue and Qiu Liming looked at Song Zhen with puzzled expressions on their faces, and they said in unison: "My lord just said something, so you understand?"

Song Zhen smiled slightly: "If you don't understand, what's the use of me."
