Fortress No. 176 was as famous as Fortress 178 in the early years, but over the years, people have gradually only mentioned 178 and not 176.
There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, the geographical location of 176 Barrier is not as bad as 178, and the enemies coming from the grassland are not that vicious. Therefore, from the perspective of "payment", 176 Barrier has paid for the entire Barrier Alliance. It's not that much.
After all, there are only so few people on the grassland, and they are not even equipped with thermal weapons. It is really difficult to become a serious problem in the Central Plains, and there has not been any particularly heroic and bloody battle between them.
On the other hand, the combat effectiveness of Bulwark 176 is not strong, and each generation is not as good as the last. In recent decades, Bulwark 176 has become a hereditary system and has become the private property of the Shen family.
Originally, all the resources for the 176 Barrier were supplied by the Wang family, the Huo Zhong family, and the Kong family, as a way to express their gratitude to the 176 garrison in the north.
But after Fortress No. 176 became the private property of the Shen family, and after everyone discovered that the threat to the northern grasslands in recent years was just the Shen family themselves shouting "wolf is coming", the supply of supplies gradually stopped.
Because Bulwark No. 176 is located in a land with poor supplies, and has to survive in the cracks between Kong, Huo Zhong, and Wang, the past few years have been worse than the last.
The former managers of Barrier 176 lacked foresight and had no resources, which resulted in the development of neither light industry nor heavy industry. Only animal husbandry and agriculture were decent, so they also lost competition in the barrier alliance. force.
Now, their weapons are very old, and some people even sell them to the black market for money.
This is why Qingshen said that the 176 barrier is not feasible.
The big liar laughed after hearing Qingshen’s explanation: “I, 178 Fortress, have a long-term vision. Previous commanders have never considered hereditary matters. Whenever they have children who want to seize power, they will be sent out early. Go to the outpost, this is the only one in the entire barrier alliance. I can only say that the commanders of 178 Fortress are worthy of the name of pioneers."
The big fool continued: "And I, 178 Fortress. The enemies we face are not enemies like nomads who don't even have thermal weapons. This is why we are called a fortress, but they can only be called a barrier."
Qing Shen is serious. Looking at Big Huyou, he found that when Big Huyou mentioned Fortress 178, he had that kind of heartfelt sense of pride and honor that most people in the Central Plains probably don't have.
Luo Lan said: "Actually, the Shen family was quite competitive at the beginning. At that time, the military power of the Barrier Alliance was not very good. Facing the war launched by the grassland people, it was still very difficult. Unfortunately, when the Shen family arrived, This generation has fallen."
"So, do you think the grassland people will pose a threat to Barrier 176?" Ren Xiaosu looked at Qingshen.
"The premise is that the grassland people are strong enough now," Qingshen replied: "After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse."
......
Seven daysLater, on the border of the northern grassland, Yan Liuyuan suddenly stopped and looked south: "Confirm the route and direction, check the supplies, horses and number of people. You may face battles every day in the future, so don't take it lightly."
Hassan nodded: "Master, don't worry, I won't make any mistakes."
Yan Liuyuan nodded. He felt that Hassan was showing off his talent before leading a small tribe. This paragraph Ever since Hassan became the King of Right Riders, he quickly showed his talents in management.
At this time Yan Liuyuan asked again: "Where are the Pulan tribe and the Hegu tribe?"
Hassan on the side said respectfully: "The scouts have been sent out, but It will take a day to come back from there. I will report to you as soon as I have news."
This time, Yan Liuyuan did not lead his troops to the 176 barrier closest to the grassland. It was a change of direction, heading towards the Tinder territory.
The envoy from the Qing family came to the grassland and brought him a relatively important news: Huozhong Company will start a war with the Kong family, and Huozhong has mobilized its troops several months in advance. At this time, Huozhong Company is a little north The barriers are all in a state of defenselessness.
It was precisely because Yan Liuyuan did not want other tribes to know his plan that he chose to be the last to set off. Therefore, two of the three big tribes went to the direction of Barrier 176, while he headed towards the fire. Go ahead.
The Qing family envoy even made an agreement with Yan Liuyuan that when he arrived at the gate of the No. 21 barrier, someone would open the city gate for him.
However, when Yan Liuyuan arrived at the border of the grassland and saw that the tens of thousands of troops composed of eight tribes were only more than 100 kilometers away from the No. 21 barrier, he chose to stop: "Where you are Station and wait for the scouts to report back."
Hasang didn't quite understand what Yan Liuyuan wanted to do, but he still did it.
That night, Yan Liuyuan’s believers began to worship in the direction of the big tent. This was a ritual that was spread from unknown sources. It said that when you get up early, you should kneel down and worship the gods a hundred times, and then have dinner in the evening. You have to kneel down three times to be considered pious enough.
These nomads’ belief in Yan Liuyuan is increasing day by day, and rituals gradually begin to appear.
Rituals are etiquette and rules in the usual sense, such as sacrificing three animals when praying for rain, kowtowing in front of the Buddha and chanting sutras every day, etc.
It wasn’t until the early morning of the next day that Hassan and the tribal leaders hurried to the front of the tent. At this time, Qiqige was combing Yan Liuyuan’s hair.
Yan Liuyuan looked at Hassan: "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Hasan said respectfully: "Congratulations, master, a scout came back and said that the Pulan tribe and the Hegu tribe They have reached the range of Barrier 176, but Barrier 176 seems to have known that they were going there early, so they set up an ambush in advance. Now the two large tribes are unable to compete head-on with Barrier 176, and their retreat has been cut off from the rear. It seems that they are going to be ruined. Outside the No. 176 barrier."
The leaders of several other tribes also looked happy. When the Pulan tribe and the Hegu tribe are dead, what will happen to them?There are no more enemies on the grassland.
Everyone also said privately that their hero was probably a god who had come to the world. Not a single soldier was lost, and someone helped to eliminate his opponent.
Keyan Liuyuan thought for a long time, then looked at the happy leaders in front of him and said: "Get ready to leave, let's go to Barrier 176."
Hassan He was stunned: "Master, is it dangerous to go to Barrier 176 at this time? Why don't we continue marching to the fire side? Doesn't it mean that the defense there is empty?"
Yan Liuyuan Shaking his head: "The population of the Pulan tribe and the Hegu tribe is much larger than ours. If all their young and strong people die on the side of barrier 176, how many years will it take for the grassland to recover? Hassan, what I want is The cattle, sheep and subjects on the grassland do not want an empty grassland."
Hassan and others were stunned. They did not expect that the master in front of them was going to save the Pulan tribe and He. From the Bone Clan, they vaguely feel each other's courage and ambition. Perhaps this is the magnanimity that the Lord of the Grassland should have!
Yan Liuyuan smiled and said: "Go and prepare. Barrier No. 176 is actually not as strong as imagined. A new dynasty is about to be born on the grassland. Why not use their blood as a sacrifice."
