Chapter 958: Change of Defense

The personal soldiers who guarded Wu Yi to prevent assassins from killing Wu Yi were stunned to see Wu Yi so brave. So, did he hold back when he wiped out Yang Mansion?

There were not many bandits who came to attack, at most 200. If they had not seen that Wu Yi and his men were not well-equipped, they would not have attacked. However, they did not expect that they would be soft persimmons, but they met Wu Yi, a god of war. After losing half of their men, that is, about 100 men, they left the scene one after another.

Half of the bandits' casualties were directly or indirectly related to Wu Yi. After counting the casualties after the war, it was regrettable that forty or fifty of their own men died in the battle. They did not die on the front line of the direct confrontation with the Northern Tartars, but died at the hands of the bandits. It was difficult to ask the court for compensation.

Strictly speaking, most people fought against the well-equipped bandits with Mugenshan axes. It was good to have such a record, but Wu Yi was still not satisfied.

In addition, because Wu Yi had intentionally held back before, dozens of bandits were shot in the torso on the battlefield at this moment, losing their ability to fight, but not dying.

Wu Yi's instructions for this group of people were to tie them up, confiscate their weapons and armor, and kill them without mercy if they dared to move. After a small battle, Wu Yi's team finally became more than shabby.

Next, they also encountered spies in groups along the way, but they saw that Wu Yi and others were in large numbers and were holding many "comrades", so they lay dormant.

Moreover, Wu Yi later raised the banner of the Daji Dynasty to prove that it was an official army. Bandits were bandits after all, and they dared not and could not confront the regular army, so they were unwilling to touch this team.

After passing the Thorn Ridge without any danger, Wu Yi stared at the mountain behind him. If it were in a peaceful place, it would definitely be a place full of tourists, but here, it became a place of killing, which was a pity for this beautiful scenery.

After going forward for another hundred miles, we finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Langyankou, as the name suggests, is a beacon tower.

However, this place is different from other beacon towers. It is isolated and there is nothing to defend except the fortress. It is precisely because of this that although it is just a fortress, some county governments may not be as strong as it.

It is not that important to say how strategically important this place is. If you really want to say that the strategic location is important, garrisoning and setting up dangers in Thorn Ridge can take advantage of the convenience of the terrain and play a greater role. However, garrisoning here undoubtedly means that the actual control line of the Daji Dynasty has been pushed forward by more than a hundred miles.

For the ambitious emperor, garrisoning at Langyankou can make his empire map more perfect.

Along with this, there are difficulties in logistics and transportation. Although land reclamation is encouraged, after arriving at Langyankou, Wu Yi saw that there were only a few cultivated lands around, which were cracked and lacked water. The seedlings were only the size of beans and looked sick, which made people feel distressed. To reclaim land, we must also consider the local natural environment.

Okay, let's talk about business. Langyankou is flat on all sides and has no dangers. It is certainly a disadvantage, but if the Northern Tartars go south, this place is also the first checkpoint for passing news down. If the Northern Tartars go south in large numbers, they can't hide it from the Daji Dynasty without removing Langyankou.

With troops stationed at Langyankou, the possibility of the Northern Tartars going south in large numbers is close to zero. Before the war, they will definitely harass and destroy Langyankou through uninterrupted harassment to remove this nail.

The existence of Langyankou is also a hole to see through the fierceness of the battle between the Daji Dynasty and the Northern Tartars.

There is no garrison point in the world that is meaningless, but the soldiers guarding Langyankou all understand that when they arrive at Langyankou, they will be abandoned and become the focus of the game between the two sides.

Even if their superiors tell them that if they cannot defend this place, giving up is also feasible and will not be punished by military law, but Langyankou is surrounded by plains, and it is a dead end to escape anywhere.

In general, in recent years, the Daji Dynasty and the Northern Tartars have only had minor border frictions, which have not evolved into large-scale military conflicts, so Langyankou can always exist.

However, this has not alleviated the worries of the soldiers at Langyankou at all. Now, there are more and more voices in the court to unify the world, and the current emperor has also transferred the central army to the northern border from time to time. What is the emperor's intention, those with a clear eye know it.

They are talking without any pain in their waists. Once the two sides go to war, Langyankou will be a place of right and wrong, and hundreds of lives will be gone.

However, on this day, the soldiers of Langyankou were very happy and cheered. They even slaughtered the pigs and sheep that had been raised for many days to entertain Wu Yi and his group.

Wu Yi took over the post without any obstacles. Even several seniors were very friendly and took Wu Yi to the vicinity of Langyankou to familiarize themselves with the terrain and tell him about the nearby tribes, such as the number of people, cattle and sheep, and where the water source was.

They were all hard knowledge. The seniors were kind, so Wu Yi thanked them and listened carefully.

The establishment of Langyankou was a thousand people, but of course it could not be full. When it was less, there were only five hundred people, and when it was more, there were only seven hundred people, which was actually about the same as Wu Yi and his group.

The garrison commander before Langyankou was a middle-aged man who was about to be confused. The frost of the border made him look like he knew his destiny. His face was full of ravines, as if he had been cut by a knife and an axe. The scars on his body were also dense and shocking. They were medals of honor.

If he really had connections, he wouldn't have come to Langyan to eat sand. The same goes for the garrison commander. He was born in the lower class and earned the position of a thousand-man captain with his sword. He was only sent here because he offended his superior. It was said that this was an opportunity to make meritorious service, but there was not much difference between this place and the Jedi.

When drinking, Shuling choked up when talking about his bitterness over the years. Wu Yi, the guest, had to comfort him from time to time. It was really helpless.

"Little brother, you still have a long way to go. It's true that you should change this job as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will be buried in the sand and no one will attend your funeral." Shuling said this. It was not known whether he was drunk or sincere. In short, Wu Yi thanked him.

However, he and others were born as unruly people. Even if the change of guard notice was sent, whether anyone would pay attention was also a problem. For many people, unruly people like Wu Yi who refused to obey the dynasty's discipline died as soon as possible.

Everyone knew the danger of the wolf smoke mouth, but it was precisely because of this that Wu Yi could earn fame and facilitate Wu Yi's rapid promotion in the military system of the Great Ji Dynasty.

Risk crisis, crisis has opportunities. Wu Yi is confident in his own strength and is naturally not worried, but for Shuling, it is not the case. Without strength, wanting to take the head of the general in the crowd of thousands of troops is like a moth flying into the fire and seeking death.

On the second day, Shu Ling and his old brothers left the scene, and Wu Yi watched them go away.
