Chapter Thirty-Eight
In the center of Yunzhongcheng Cross Street, there is a Drum Tower, about four meters high. Whenever you are defending the city during the war, the main general can watch out for the enemy situation on the Drum Tower, using flags during the day and lights at night to command and mobilize the troops in the city.
Instead of wartime, there is a drum up on this drum tower to report the time.
It’s not just in the clouds. At this moment, there is basically such a drum tower in the Great Sui city. If it is a big city, there may even be more than a dozen drum towers.
At this moment, the two drums sounded like a festival. It was the time to report the two updates, and it was also the beginning of a curfew in Yunzhongcheng.
On weekdays, a border fortress like Yunzhongcheng, which faces the threat of the Turks, will not be mentioned in the second update. As soon as the sky gets dark, the city gates will be closed, the streets will be patrolled and the soldiers on duty will go up to the city walls. There will be ambushing roads outside the city, and fences will be pulled up in the streets in the city, and there will be strict battles everywhere in the city.
However, this autumn festival, Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, who was in a hurry, could only put aside the past practices and start a curfew in the streets at the second update, otherwise the city merchants could go to the office of General Liu Wu and Zhoulang to petition and demonstration. When the city merchants had good business, Heng'an Yingyang Mansion could also pay more taxes, so they could only grit their teeth and bear more risks.
As the drums rang out, many people came from the restaurants and local brothels.
Luo Dun also strode out. Tonight, I'm afraid that half a sheep and a jar of wine would have eaten it. The old man still kept his face and walked with great vigor.
Xu Le followed Luo Dun, and Han Yue and others were also blocked by Liang Hai's special men. As soon as he left the store, Xu Le put on a hood and hid his face.
On the street, there were Heng'an soldiers standing on both sides, holding shields to protect themselves. The weapons were just within reach. Xu Le swept casually and could see the light of stars and moonlight reflected on the rooftop.
On the roof, there are also Heng'an Eagle-Soldiers and Crossbowmen hidden.
Under such alertness, even those who have drunk go quickly and dare not speak or move.
The village gates in the surrounding city have been closed, and Heng'an soldiers are also on high alert at the gate. The crossbowmen are already standing in the open at the entrance and exit. As long as someone wants to seize the door and control the gate, they will immediately become a hedgehog.
After leaving the village, there was the city gate, and the guard was even tighter. Heng'an soldiers were on duty on the front and bottom of the city. Xu Le even saw Yuan Junwei's figure, walked back and forth on the city wall, staring vigilantly at everything around him.
Xu Le quickly turned his gaze away and hid his face deeper. At this time, if Yuan Junwei was passionate, he would cause trouble for himself regardless of the crime of fighting for the city gate, he would have to escape.
Seeing that there will be so many lively events in the autumn gathering inside and outside Yunzhong City, Isn’t it a waste of time to not be in the middle of the city?
Although Luo Dun was stuttering and vague, Xu Le also heard the truth.
It's very simple. The nine-sentence Tatars were too harbored by the Turks. This time, we came here by the Qiu Ji to see if we could unite and rely on the power of the Sui Dynasty to fight against the Turks. Even if we can't fight, we can let the Turks be more concerned and exploit the nine-sentence Tatar tribes less.
Last year, the Mayi soldiers and the Hedong soldiers joined forces to defeat the Turks, which seemed to have given the nine Tatars a great deal of courage. Although the Great Sui army continued to weaken, they still had considerable strength!
Luo Dun is one of the initiators of this secret meeting. Although he seemed to be full of confidence in this secret meeting in his words, Xu Le heard the worries behind Mr. Luo Dun, and was afraid that the Turks would sneak in and destroy the secret meeting!
How could Xu Le missed the matter involved in the Turks? How could Xu Le not be hostile to the Turks who repeatedly invaded! Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, men's most prosperous achievements were obtained on the frontier and in the blood of the captains!
Compared with the reputation of fighting dozens of Heng'an Eagle-Railing soldiers in Yunzhongcheng, it is simply the difference between fireflies and bright moon!
It was precisely because Liu Wuzhou used Yunzhongcheng to fight against the Turkic army alone that Yunzhongcheng always stood firm when the Turkic army marched south. Finally, he forced the Turkic army to continue to venture south while the rear was constantly harassed, and Wang Rengong and Li Yuan's coalition gained an advantage. When the Turkic army was not supporting and retreating, Liu Wuzhou's troops attacked decisively and achieved the greatest victory.
It is precisely because of this that Liu Wuzhou firmly took up the position of the Eagle Fighting General of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, the heroes of Mayi County returned to their hearts, and Liu Wuzhou fought with Wang Rengong. He became a real player in this world that had become chaotic and became a person whom Grandpa Xu Le also praised the high-profile.
Only by experience can you make yourself stronger and fulfill your grandfather’s unfulfilled wish!
That's why Xu Le was too lazy to continue to compete with Yuan Junwei.
After leaving the city gate, I saw a short mountain stretching not far away, covering Yunzhong City, which was located in the middle of the basin. Military camps were set up on the low mountain, and the lights in the military camps were shaking from time to time to send messages to the city walls. These were signals that the sergeants of the grassland tribes living outside the city were reporting all safety in Yunzhong City.
Between the Aishan military camp and the city wall, a large area of woods were cut down on the flat ground, which was the place where the grassland tribes gathered to participate in the autumn market. More than ten towers were raised high, and they even looked at the nearest place to watch the every move of these grassland tribes.
Once there is a change, the city wall will be on the Aishan Military Village, and arrow rains can be poured out from both sides towards the grassland tribal settlement area, and the iron cavalry in the city will be able to stand out at any time and sweep across this settlement.
Outside the settlement, there were also small teams of iron cavalry patrolling by, and the armor was covered with war marks. Each armored cavalry had an iron face covering his face, and it looked like a ghost at night.
The wind was cool at night, and the iron surface was slightly frost. The iron surface was opened and the long white air was gushing out of the breath. From a distance, it looked like an army walking out of the Shura field.
Although Yunzhong Daji relaxed the curfew, Heng'an Yingyang soldiers still maintained the safety of Yunzhong City to the extreme, and inspected and guarded the day and day in the autumn and night winds. This is the quality of a strong soldier that has been honed in blood and fire. With Xu Le's ability that has been tempered through thousands of times, it is just like this in front of this strong army.
In a fight in Yunzhong City, although Xu Le fought alone for dozens of Eagle-Rao soldiers without falling under the wind, the Eagle-Rao soldiers did not splash arrows at Xu Le in the end, but Yuan Junwei attacked an arrow. This is why Xu Le had to rush to Yunzhong City even if he fought to death. Under the gaze of the people in Yunzhong, under the reason of complaining about Liu Wuzhou, Heng'an Yingyang soldiers did not dare to use military means to fight against Xu Le. They just rushed up and fought with each other, and they still kept their hands. They just wanted to defeat Xu Le and arrest him so that Xu Le could become famous in one battle!
Otherwise, if the iron shield covers the arrow formation, the rain of arrows, how long can Xu Le, who has no armor, last?
Liu Wuzhou, who has such a strong army, is one of the qualified players in this troubled times after his inconspicuous appearance!
Luo Dun, who had been walking silently, looked at the strong army for a long time after leaving the city, and suddenly whispered to Xu Le: "With such a strong army, the Turks dare not come to trouble. We all the nine tribes can handle it. Old Xu dares to lie at home now, and you, the only grandson, cannot have any accidents... You rely on your ability and courage to play for a few more days, so you will be as you. But you must not participate in the affairs of our nine tribes. With the Han family, you can't explain anything clearly!"
Xu Le listened silently, Luo Dun's words could not be said much. With such a strong army in Heng'an Prefecture, the Turks really dared to urge the army to suppress it? There were fewer people coming, and the nine Tatars were dealt with by themselves. Taking advantage of the autumn festival to penetrate the secret meeting of the nine Tatars in the clouds, it seemed like a foolproof move. If he was brought to Luo Dun and participated in it, it would be really hard to explain.
But is it really everything as Luo Dun said, all in control?
He shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to get rid of his inexplicable concern for the elder Luo Dun, who is close to him. Xu Le smiled and said, "I dare not obey my orders, so I will delay here for a few days to see if I can get our own goods back."
Luo Dun looked at Xu Le suspiciously, but said nothing again.
In the settlements of various ethnic groups on the grassland, two Turkic nobles also looked at the tightly guarded situation of Heng'an Yingshang's soldiers at night.
Such strict and solemn quality of the military made the two Turkic nobles look good and couldn't see much.
More than a dozen personal guards were distributed around and watched all the movements nervously and focusedly.
And above the tabernacle behind them, the high-mounted wooden poles were floating with red horsehair decorations.
This is the largest of the nine surnames Tatars, the recognition of the more than a thousand Yue tribes of the Gaida!
