Qingji didn't show the slightest anger. He took off his special hard bow with iron tires from the side of the saddle. Then Qingji stood on the horse, put his feet on the stirrups, opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and aimed at the leader of the Yue clan on the top of the city.

"Kachacha..."

The sound of pulling the bowstring makes one's teeth feel sore for a while.

"Is this person crazy?"

"With such a long distance, can he shoot to the top of the city?"

"Hmph, you are overestimating your own capabilities!"

While the Yuezhi people were relaxing, Qingji drew his bow like a full moon, and with a solemn expression on his face, he loudly said: "Remember what I said!"

"There is no place for you and others in our city walls of Wu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingji shot a powerful arrow.

"stop!"

"Pfft——"

The leader of the Yuezhi, who was still laughing loudly, stopped laughing suddenly, then looked down with a stunned look on his face, and saw that his throat had been missed by an arrow, almost piercing it.

A lot of blood sprayed out!

Seeing their leader shot and killed, the Yuezhi people on the city wall couldn't help but get into chaos.

"Fire the arrow!"

"superior!"

Wu Jun has a systematic strategy of warfare.

In the huge phalanx, the soldiers formed a huge arrow formation, and fired arrows like locusts passing through the city towards the Yuezhi people on the top of the city.

The brave warriors bravely carried the explosive pack, placed it at the gate of the city, and immediately detonated it.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the city gate was blown down.

This huge explosion frightened the Yuezhi people in the city so much that they did not dare to fight against the Wu army.

"Youkai! These Wu people are all monsters!"

"Run away!"

The Yuezhi people were frightened out of their courage and scattered like birds and beasts one after another.

Wu Jun's iron cavalry, on the other hand, followed the collapsed city gate, rushed in from left to right, and slaughtered the fleeing Yuezhi people wantonly.

Having said that, if Gaonu City had not just been built and the city gate was temporarily built, it would not have been possible for the thunder to blow down the city gate...

After a one-sided massacre, the Wu army beheaded more than 5,000 people and captured nearly 6,000 people.

If nothing else goes wrong, these Yuezhi prisoners will be assigned to remote places to carry out infrastructure construction.

…

Eliminating this group of Yuezhi people who dared to invade Shangjun can only be regarded as a small episode for Qingji.

After all, the fighting ability of the Hu people outside the Great Wall is really not that good.

Before the Warring States Period, the Hu and Rong Di might have posed a considerable threat to the Central Plains countries.

However, in history, starting from the Warring States Period, among the neighboring states of Qin, Zhao, and Yan, which one did not press the barbarians outside the Great Wall to the ground and rub them?

With the current strength of the Wu State and the powerful combat effectiveness of the Wu Army, it is not difficult at all to completely crush the Yuezhi and Donghu, a foreign race outside the Great Wall.

After finishing their trip to Shangjun, Qingji's patrol team arrived in Longxi County.

The first thing Qing Ji inspected was the beacon tower.

The main function of the beacon tower is to facilitate reconnaissance. At the same time, when there is an enemy invasion, straw and other combustible materials can be burned. In this way, fireworks can be used to notify the enemy of the situation, so that the next post can be alert.

The most important thing is to convey military information, which requires close cooperation with enemy towers, wall towers and other Great Wall buildings.

The enemy tower can be used as a pier to transmit beacon messages. Where there is no enemy tower and no wall platform suitable for lighting beacons, a beacon tower must be built according to the beacon transmission route.

Beacon fire, also called "beacon fire".

When the enemy invades during the day, they light smoke (flint), and when they invade at night, they light fire (beacon) to alert all parties and superiors with visible smoke and light.

The distance between beacon towers is generally about ten miles, and they are usually built on high hills or mounds that are easy to view each other.

For example, the beacon tower where Qingji was standing at this time is an independent structure, and there are also three or five beacon groups arranged at the corners. The shape of the beacon tower varies from time to time and place, and is generally square or round.

On the platform, there are equipment for guarding houses and setting off smoke and fire. Below the platform, there are houses where soldiers live and guard, sheep and horse pens, warehouses and other buildings.

As the governor of Longxi County, Gongzi Zhang accompanied Qingji and introduced: "Father, if the soldiers guarding the platform find out that the enemy is invading, they will immediately light the beacon fire on the platform, and the neighboring platforms will do the same when they see it.

, so that enemy information can be quickly conveyed."

"The last time the Qiang Rong invaded, they relied on the enemy's information conveyed by this beacon tower. Otherwise, it would be difficult for our army to make a corresponding counterattack."

"good."

Qingji looked at the facilities inside the beacon tower and asked, "How many people are there on average for the beacon guards?"

"There are five, six, or more than ten soldiers guarding the beacon, and among them is the captain."

"On weekdays, the garrison must have one person dedicated to keeping watch, one person to cook, and the rest to do construction, collect firewood (including firewood used for lighting beacon fires) and other matters."

After a pause, Gongzi Zhang spoke to Qingji: "My father and I believe that the beacon towers along the Great Wall should be closely integrated with the Great Wall and become an important part of the Great Wall's defense system."

"In order to quickly mobilize the entire border garrison and rise up to meet the enemy."

Qing Ji deeply agreed with Gong Zizhang's idea.

…

After finishing their trip to Longxi County, Qingji's patrol team came to Shu County again to inspect Dujiangyan.

After years of excavation, the Dujiangyan Irrigation Irrigation System has been completed, irrigating tens of thousands of acres of fertile farmland in Sichuan, completely eliminating flooding, and allowing many boats to sail, which is extremely convenient.

After leaving Shu County, Qingji entered Ba County along the Three Gorges, visited the local officials, soldiers and civilians, and then continued south to inspect the nine southern counties.

The nine southern counties of Wu State were Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County, Guilin County, Qianzhong County, Dian County, and Jiaozhi County.

The three southwest counties and the six Lingnan counties are collectively called the "Nine Southern Counties".

Qing Ji's tour lasted more than a year, and he did not return to Xianyang until the first month of 485 BC.

At this time, the Kwantung countries were already ready to launch a conspiracy against Wu.

In the third month of the lunar calendar, after spring plowing was completed, a total of nine countries, Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Zhongshan, held an alliance meeting in Huayang to discuss the matter of conquering Wu.

The princes elected Zhao Yang as the leader of the alliance, and together with more than 600,000 troops from the nine countries, they set out from Huayang in a mighty manner and rushed to Hangu Pass.

Along the way, the coalition forces attacked cities and quickly captured many cities in Hexi, but from beginning to end, they were still unable to overcome the natural dangers.

As for Hangu Pass, Qingji had already appointed Sun Wu as his general and Tian Ranju as his deputy, and sent 150,000 troops to defend it.

Qingji's intention was very simple, which was to rely on the favorable terrain and the strength of Weihan to compete with the coalition forces.

Is Wu still afraid that it can’t afford it?

"kill!"
Chapter completed!
