The calm guarding the border, the blue sky on the grassland with the end of summer, and the slow recovery of his physical and mental abilities made the confident Xie Yu feel more stable.

On this day, as the water vapor from the river drifted over to calm the breeze, no mosquitoes dared to cause trouble. I was alone in the grass, Xie Yu, breathing in and out, and suddenly pointed out something.

I saw a hare gnawing at the roots of ripe grass three feet away. Suddenly seeing Xie Yu's presence, I was frightened and rushed out.

But just as Xie Yu's precise fingering force from across the air hit the hare, the hare was also hit by this invisible fingering force.

It was just a hare, but after spinning around a few times, it ran out again.

Xie Yu sighed, grabbed a white-feathered arrow by his leg, glanced at the trajectory of the hare's flight, and swung the arrow with his wrist.

In an instant, seven steps away, the arrow hit the hare's neck.

Although only an inch-long arrow was pierced into the neck, the hare was unable to kill himself for a while and wanted to run away with the arrow shaft.

But Xie Yu ignored him and continued to close his eyes and breathe out his inner energy.

After a while, Xie Yu calmed down and stood up, followed the blood stain left by the hare, walked more than ten steps, picked it up and hung it on his waist, just in time to feed the garrison leader under his command at night.

I touched the dead hare's fur, which was already a little stiff.

Xie Yu secretly exclaimed: "What kind of world is this? Not to mention not being able to sense the spiritual energy of the sky, even if you refine the energy to extract the inner energy, you can barely do it with the help of the gourd mark!"

"Is it really a magical place?"

Later, Xie Yu returned to the garrison and saw a sergeant filling the gaps in the newly added adobe wall with slurry made from yellow mud mixed with crushed hay.

"It seems that everyone is very diligent. They are worthy of being my subordinates, Xie Yu."

The guard heard the movement behind him, turned his face and saw Xie Yu.

Then, he noticed the hare on Xie Yu's waist.

He immediately said happily: "Boss, do you want to give the brothers another meal tonight? I have agreed, and I will give you the rabbit legs."

Xie Yu said with a smile: "You guys, do your job well. I didn't leave the good things to you that time. Speaking of which, I originally planned to do some farming, but you guys made it all useless."

The soldier chuckled and said, "That's not me. It's not me. Anyway, I agreed in advance that if the captain didn't give me the rabbit legs, I would be angry."

Xie Yu smiled again: "You kid, just concentrate on your work. You are indispensable."

After saying that, I ignored him, took the hare, and went to the kitchen to clean up.

Xie Yu took some rabbit oil from the homemade clay bowl, took the whetstone, and began to maintain his weapons.

It has been tested and adjusted, and there has been a lot of wear and tear. The bow power has been adjusted to the maximum level of the standard iron-tired bow.

Xie Yu couldn't help but sigh, how many barbarians would mourn him in the future.

Afterwards, he sorted out his white-feathered arrows and carefully touched each one to familiarize himself with the properties of the arrows to ensure that they would feel the same when the war started again.

At this time, a garrison soldier was carrying a bunch of prairie rats strung up with straw ropes.

"Boss, the trap you made is really good. Today is another big harvest."

Xie Yu: "Okay, give it to me. Let's eat it differently today."

Guard soldier: "Just wait until you say that, Captain. Your cooking skills are really nothing to say. Before I opened Xiaohe Fort, I was worried about everything, but I didn't expect that I could gain weight."

Xie Yu: "It's good to gain weight. Serving the country is what we should do. When we are full and well-fed, we won't miss home."

The garrison soldier was a little depressed: "I'm full and I don't want to go home."

Xie Yu patted his shoulder: "Yes, I'm full and I miss home."

Xie Yu, who has been alone for a long time, has become accustomed to wandering alone. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Gourd Mark found Xie Yu!

Although it lacked some cumin, the garrison soldiers were still satisfied with the Xie Yushu skewers and barbecue.

At night, Xie Yu was meditating.

Suddenly, the guard banged on the door again.

Xie Yu woke up quickly and whipped out the thick iron sword from his pillow.

Shouting: "Who, what's the matter!"

Guardsman: "Commander, what's wrong, there are police officers at Blackstone Beacon Castle, and there are horsemen attacking. There are more than a hundred people."

Xie Yu: "What."

After calming down for a while, he said again: "According to the rules, we will send an alert to Xiajia Yuwozi Fengsui Fort."

"promise!"

Xie Yu quickly dressed and put on the leather armor, and then put on the light armor assigned to Xiaohebao.

If the situation is unclear, it is better to be fully armed. At least it can give warning and confidence to the garrison leader under his command.

After Xie Yu boarded the sentry post, the garrison commander had already lit the warning fire according to the rules.

Beacon signaling is the oldest and most efficient ancient combat warning method.

Xie Yu understood that the appearance of the hundred or ten Hu cavalry represented the Hu tribe in the grassland in the previous period after their defeat in the Longxi battle.

After an internal struggle for power, both the winner and the loser finally reached a consensus.

Winners need external stimulation to transform internal conflicts and grievances, losers need to prove themselves, and it is not a complete failure.

As a result, the tactics used by the grassland tribes to fight against the Central Plains people were adopted.

He sent hundreds of Hu'er men to ride alone to the Central Plains, wreak havoc, and work part-time to clear grass and valleys.

This kind of Baishi Ranger is the most hateful, flexible, cunning, and cruel. Since it can feed the enemy and reduce the food consumption of the headquarters, it can also reduce the war potential of the Central Plains people.

Prepare for a new round of battles in a few years after sufficient combat power has been accumulated.

It seems that the battle in the spring did not destroy the vitality of the Hu people.

Generally speaking, according to historical rules, every spring in ancient times, the powerful Central Plains dynasty would send cavalry north to the grasslands.

At this time, the war horses of the Central Plains Dynasty relied on abundant food and grass to gain weight in winter, and the horses on the grassland were so hungry that they became thin and skinny all winter long.

The summers are hot and the winters are cold. No matter whether it is the barbarian nomadic tribes on the grassland or the border troops of the Central Plains dynasty, they will not talk about war lightly.

In autumn, when the horses on the grassland have slowed down, they will go south to plunder.

Don't let Xie Yu feel too much.

Suddenly, a soldier shouted: "No, captain, the fire in Yuwozi Beacon Fort has gone out. Could something have happened?"

Xie Yu saw the same thing and was shocked in his heart, but still said steadily: "Don't worry, it might be an accident. The fire will rise in a while."

For a while, it didn't rise until dawn. Everyone knew that the Yuwozi Beacon Fort should have been breached by the barbarians, and it was over.

Seeing everyone's lonely expressions, Xie Yu said: "I don't know how the message from Yuwozi Beacon Fort was spread. According to the rules, we should go and investigate and then raise the Yuwozi Beacon Fort warning signal."

After hearing what Xie Yu said, the scene fell silent, and everyone naturally knew the danger.

Then, one of the garrison soldiers said: "Commander sacrificed his life for the country, let me go at this moment!"

"I……."

"I……."

"Let me go..."

Xie Yu: "No one should go. It can't be the Hu people's strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If we go, what will happen if the Hu people attack our Xiaohe Fort?"

"What if we go and are captured by the barbarians and threaten us to open the fort gate?"

Guard soldier: "Commander, I would rather die than surrender."

"Yes, I would rather die than surrender."

"I would rather die than surrender."

To put it this way, Xie Yu knows that human nature is very complex and temporary emotions are nothing.

But it’s not good, it will damage their morale.

So, he smiled and said: "I don't want you to rather die than surrender."

"Listen to my military order. This time I will go in person. After I leave, a corps commander will be responsible for guarding and commanding Xiaohe Fort."

"Everyone knows about the scarecrow. I suggest that you put up more scarecrows to confuse the enemy. Before I come back, you must not go out of the fort, eat, drink or poop inside."

"Be patient with all things, but living is all that matters."

"Commander..."

"Commander..."

Xie Yu: "Don't persuade me, everyone will act according to my military orders."

Then scattered voices sounded: "No!"

"promise……."

"promise……."
