(I have been feeling unwell for a while. I will go to the central hospital for a checkup tomorrow. I hope everything is fine, so there is only one chapter.)

Han Zuo rode his horse to follow Xiao Cheng and said cautiously: "Erlang, you mean that Miao Shou might collude with the tribes in Hengshan to attack us? That's not true, is it? After all, he is also an official of the imperial court!"

Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing when he heard this, turned to look at him and said, "Hai Zi, what did you find when you followed us into the Miao Mansion today?"

Han Zuo touched his head: "It's nothing special! Oh, by the way, it seems that their family is very rich! It seems to be no worse than Erlang's family!"

"Including my generation, your Erlang family has been officials for three generations. My grandfather has been a privy minister, and my father has been a minister of the country. Then tell me, where does a commander in Miao Shou get the money?

Woolen cloth?"

"Perhaps their business is doing very well!" Han Yan muttered: "Erlang, we, Tiangong Iron Crafts, were just trying to make ends meet at the beginning. Later, with Erlang and you, we made a lot of money every day."

"Hahaha, that's good!" Xiao Cheng laughed: "But what was your impression when you first saw Dingbian City?"

"Tattered!" Han Hao blurted out.

"Then how do you feel when you pass by those houses and military camps in the city?" Xiao Cheng then asked.

"It's still in tatters!" Han Yan seemed to understand something.

"You came out of Tianmen Village this time. What do you think is the difference between Dingbian City and Tianmen Village?"

"The difference is huge. Dalang used to be the ruler, but he only had a small room. But Tianmen Village is very glamorous. I heard that Dalang actually spent three years to cover the rammed earth walls of Tianmen Village.

Blue bricks." Han Yu said.

"That's it." Xiao Cheng said calmly: "In the past, Miao Shou was the local emperor of the Dingbian Army. He could do whatever he wanted! And his unclear relationship with the tribes in Hengshan put him in a position where he could not easily

The position was changed. This is the reason why he is so unscrupulous."

"Didn't you move this time? Is Dalang here to be his immediate boss?"

"This is an official decision. The official does not know the actual situation here, so he feels that the location of the border city is very important." Xiao Cheng said: "Look at Ma Xing, you will understand clearly, the massacre on Shaanxi Road

Special killings were carried out and military discipline was rectified, but they did not dare to touch Miao Shou in the slightest, just because they were afraid that if they did something wrong, it would cause turmoil. Without proper arrangements, Ma Xing would never attack Miao Shou."

Han Zu couldn't help but worry: "But when we came here, weren't we pushed to the front? We were given the hard nut to crack?"

"It is indeed a tough nut to crack!" Xiao Cheng said: "So Ma Xing must be happily watching our confrontation with Miao Shou now without taking any responsibility."

"He is the pacifier, how come he has no responsibility?" Han Zuo was puzzled. "Anything that happens on the Shaanxi road, he is responsible for it? Just like our Tiangong Iron Art, if something goes wrong, the father who is responsible for the whole thing

, I will be scolded by my grandpa, and sometimes even slapped!"

Talking to Han Yu was a very pleasant thing, and Xiao Cheng was amused by him again.

"Because the current eldest brother was appointed by the emperor! If there is any problem, it is because the emperor does not know people well and the eldest brother acts recklessly. What problem can he have?" Xiao Cheng said: "Although I admire Ma Xing very much.

But that doesn't mean that Ma Xing is as upright as you, Hammer, and he has all the skills to be an official."

"They are not good people!" Han Zuo said angrily: "They all just want to pick fruits."

Xiao Cheng sighed, "From Ma Xing's point of view, there is nothing wrong. He is a pacifier. If he takes action, there will be no room for change. Now he pushes us to the front. If things go wrong,

Hey, he can still save things by stepping forward, but then we will become the scapegoats."

"Erlang, what should we do?" Han Zuo became worried, "As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. This Miao Shou is just a local snake!"

"This is something that can't be helped. No matter how difficult it is, we will have a strong dragon cross the river this time." Xiao Cheng said: "Are the hammer and shield I specially designed for you easy to use?"

Han Zuo is one of those people who are born with extraordinary talents.

To put it simply, it is amazingly powerful.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that several generations of his Han family have been dealing with iron. A hammer weighing dozens of kilograms is as big as a toy in his hand, and he can dance like a windmill. In a simple competition of strength, even Xiao Ding is not

Han Zuo's opponent, and this guy, is one year younger than Xiao Cheng, and is only fifteen this year.

Xiao Cheng designed two weapons for him. One was a long-handled hammer, similar to the hammer used by the emperor's Jingua Banzhi, but it was heavier. The hammer head and hammer handle were forged as a whole.

The net weight is twelve kilograms. The shield held in the left hand is also an iron shield, with sharp barbs densely covered on the shield surface.

"It's good, it's just a little lighter! It feels light and airy in your hand." Han Zuo took off the hammer from the saddle, waved it a few times in his hand, and smacked his lips.

"It's not light anymore. The net weight of my elder brother's iron gun is only eight pounds and three taels!" Xiao Cheng said: "How many times can you swing a thirty-jin hammer?"

"Go all out, a hundred times!" Han Qi said.

"Where's the hammer?"

"You can keep waving!" Han Hao smiled and stretched out a finger and said.

Xiao Cheng rolled his eyes.

These words were a bit irritating, and Wei Wu, who was keeping pace with Han Yu, not only rolled his eyes, but also raised his middle finger high at Han Yu.

"If a twelve-pound hammer hits a person at once, can it kill him?" Xiao Cheng said.

"I can have it!" Han Yan said honestly.

"Isn't it over?" Xiao Cheng said: "If you encounter an enemy, there are a hundred people, and you wield a thirty-jin hammer, and if the others don't resist, you can kill one of them with one hammer, and kill these one hundred people.

After I kill you, do you still have the strength?"

"No more! It's impossible for the enemy not to resist."

"What if there are more than a hundred enemies?" Xiao Cheng said: "On the battlefield, the competition is not only about strength, but also endurance and tenacity. Whoever has longer endurance will live longer. Just blindly

What’s the use of pursuing tallness and mightiness?”

"I understand." Han Zuo said: "With this twelve-pound hammer, I can keep hitting."

"You still keep fighting?" Wei Wu on the side finally couldn't help it anymore and said: "You don't eat or drink water, Hammer, I tell you, don't brag about how you can keep fighting. On a real battlefield, these twelve

Even if you hit a hammer weighing a pound a hundred times, your muscles and bones will still be sore and weak."

Han Zuo said angrily: "How about the two of us try it?"

"Okay, let's go it alone and compete?"

Han Zuo stared at him for a long time, then suddenly said: "I quit, you must have been running away on horseback, and then kept shooting arrows at me."

"You just know it!" Wei Wu said: "Your enemy is not a fool. Is he really standing there and letting you hammer him?"

"Okay, okay, you two are both good at it, what's there to argue about?" Xiao Cheng waved his hand: "Wei San, how old are you? Why are you just teasing the hammer?"

"I am an adult!" Han Yu said in an angry voice.

Wei Wu laughed loudly: "He is such a big man, Hammer, has the hair on his lower head grown evenly?"

Han Zuo was furious: "Do you want to compete? Whoever loses will learn to bark like a dog!"

Wei Wu was startled, took one look at Han Zu's body, and suddenly became discouraged.

"I'm not as knowledgeable as a stupid kid!"

"If you don't dare to compete, then you don't dare to compete!" Han Yu laughed, "I know you don't have the confidence. No wonder Sister Wan'er yells and you tremble three times!"

At this moment, everyone in the team could no longer hold their nerves. Han Hao's voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly within dozens of steps nearby. Even the strong women in the team were laughing so hard.

They really didn't expect that Han Zong, a half-year-old child, could actually say such a thing.

Wei Wu blushed. Why was he afraid of Wan'er because of this? It was because he was disabled. Wan'er was not only beautiful, but also came from a wealthy family. She was also knowledgeable and polite, and was a good hand both inside and outside.

Wei Wu was really ashamed of himself, so he gave way respectfully. But how can you argue with this kind of thing? If he said it too much, he would feel sorry for Wan'er.

Seeing Wei Wu's horse scurrying away in confusion, Han Yan couldn't help but laugh happily, and sat on the horse proudly, looking around.

"Hammer, let me see how big you are?" a thick-skinned strong woman in the team shouted.

Although Han Zong was arrogant and arrogant in front of Wei Wu, refusing to let tit-for-tat stand, but when the strong woman shouted at him, he immediately blushed and shouted: "Don't even think about taking advantage of me."

"Auntie, just take a look!" Several more strong women shouted.

This time, it was Han Zong's turn to beat the horse and run away in embarrassment.

After traveling thousands of miles from Tianmen Village to here, everyone has become familiar with each other. Han Hao knows how courageous these strong women are. These women are no less impressive than the female sumo wrestlers in Tokyo.

, those big hands can cook, sew, and carry a knife to kill people.

Xiao Cheng couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the two warriors under his command, who had been fighting fiercely just now, but now they were running away together in embarrassment, and actually walking side by side in front, whispering to each other along the way.

This kind of day is actually not bad.

Luo Gang, Xin Jian, He Zheng and others led 300 regular troops and rushed to Shentang Fort.

When they saw the Shentang Fort, hundreds of people were dumbfounded. This military fort with extremely important geographical and military significance, in their image, should be a tall and powerful fortress, but at this moment it appeared

What they saw in front of them turned out to be a dilapidated place with damage everywhere and grass growing on the walls.

As they arrived, groups of soldiers came out. There were about 300 soldiers, and they lined up under the fort under the leadership of a general.

They had received notification last night that the defense work of Shentang Fort would be handed over to the newly arrived troops.

There is a battalion of troops stationed in Shentang Fort, which should number 500 people.

But now, he is in his early three hundred at most.
