Chapter 514

The sunset glow recedes, and the night sky is full of stars.

Even the lingering red cloud temporarily "exited" under the cover of the night.

The Mulan Fortress, shrouded in the night, is like a sleeping monster, crawling at the entrance of the canyon, deep and quiet. Only at this time, this giant meat grinder will release a trace of warmth.

One after another, the torches were lit on the city wall, forming a long flame dragon along the city wall.

The soldiers in charge of the night patrol, wearing iron armor and holding long guns, braved the night wind and walked across the city wall in groups. In the long night, the soldiers got together and talked about some romantic affairs.

The battle that had just ended during the day naturally became the focus of discussion among the generals. The unheard-of artillery, the bravery of General Elai, and the ferocity of the mountain barbarian warriors are all enough to make people interested.

"That iron lump is really powerful. It can fire such a big cannonball, and it really blasted through the city wall. I was guarding the city wall at the time, and I was shocked."

"Er Gouzi, you are too worthless!"

"Haha~~~"

The surrounding soldiers burst out laughing.

In the long night, it is not easy to have someone to tease.

The young soldier nicknamed "Ergouzi" immediately blushed, his cheeks puffed up with anger, and retorted unconvinced: "Sanpizi, don't try to show off to me here. You can, how can you?" Why don’t you try it? The sound is so loud that it can deafen people’s ears, and my ears are still buzzing.”

"Try and try, who is afraid of whom!" San Pizi is not very old, but he is a fool, full of courage, patted his chest and said: "Tomorrow I will ask to be transferred there to garrison."

"it is good!"

The surrounding soldiers applauded loudly.

Hearing this, Sanpizi became more and more proud, as if he had really won a battle.

"Have you heard?"

At this moment, another soldier approached, trying to attract everyone's attention.

"what?"

"The mountain barbarian warriors who guarded the cave during the day were all promoted to a rank by the general, and they were greeted with good meat and vegetables at night. That guy, don't worry about it."

"Hey, their fate is really good. Why can't we do such a good thing?" The young soldiers never knew what fear was, and only wanted to make meritorious deeds.

"Come on, you guys!" A veteran stood up, "You paid for it with your life. It's not like you don't know how fierce the daytime battle was. It's as big as a mountain barbarian warrior, and he wears infantry armor. We were all scared when we saw our precious iron bump. Just like that, we forced to kill more than 500 people for the enemy.”

"If you go up instead, I'm guessing you'll get clicked as soon as you go up!"

"Hey, old clapper, don't look down on people."

This time, the young soldiers were not happy, they all howled like cattle, who didn't know, thought they were going to rush into the enemy's camp in the dark.

"That's right. The mountain barbarians are powerful, but we are not vegetarians."

The soldiers chattered, wanting to prove their bravery.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

In the army, the competition between divisions and arms is really normal. These fighters were born in veteran troops like the Longxiang Army, so their tempers were naturally stronger.

Except for Shenwuwei, there is probably no other unit that can convince the soldiers.

When the old clapper saw him, he shook his head and said nothing, but there was a flash of reminiscence in his eyes. He thought back then, he was also so passionate and warlike, following the princes through life and death.

It's nice to be young!

I don't know if it's a sigh, or a remembrance, floating in the cold wind of the night.

***********

And right at the place where the story took place, at the huge hole, until late at night, there were still bursts of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping" sounds. Under the instruction of General Bai Qi, the engineering squadrons of each division were repairing the city wall overnight, trying to block this huge hole again overnight.

Looking beyond the city wall, there are rows of barracks.

Mulan Fortress is a military fortress, and the buildings in the fortress naturally have a strong military style. The barracks were neatly repaired and looked extremely eye-catching.

Because it is built against the mountain, there are plenty of stone materials, and coupled with the needs of the war, the buildings in the fortress are actually mainly made of stone materials, accompanied by blue bricks and blue tiles.

And wood is a rare item in the fortress.

The architectural style of the entire fortress has obvious military colors, tough, simple and practical. Even the commercial and residential areas built in the fortress are no exception.

The most conspicuous building in the fortress is naturally the headquarters of the Longchamp Legion.

The legion headquarters is not an ordinary courtyard, but a five-story stone tower. Standing on the top floor of the stone tower and looking north, you can have a panoramic view of the northern wilderness.

Bai Qi's office is located on this floor.

And this place naturally became the headquarters of the entire army.

It was pitch black outside, but the white room was still brightly lit. The subordinates who are familiar with Bai Qi know that this officer is an out-and-out workaholic.

It was late at night, and the entire station seemed quiet.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded in the corridor, breaking the tranquility of the night. Leaning slightly, an officer from the Military Intelligence Department walked into Bai Qi's room and bowed to salute.

"General!"

"How about it, have you recruited?"

Bai Qi was burying his head in his desk, writing today's battle report, preparing to submit it to the prince thousands of miles away. Seeing the intelligence officer walk in, Bai Qi put down his pen and ink, raised his head and asked.

"No, this person is extremely stubborn. No matter how we torture him, he won't say a word." The stubborn person that the intelligence officer said was naturally Li Xiucheng who was captured during the day.

"Tough bones!"

"Your subordinates are not doing well, please punish the general!"

Bai didn't say much, but he scared the intelligence officer enough, and he naturally understood that the general was dissatisfied with the results of the military intelligence department's interrogation.

If you are not satisfied with the result, you are naturally dissatisfied with the military intelligence department and his intelligence officer. Thinking of this, the young intelligence officer began to sweat coldly on his forehead.

In the entire Longxiang army, there are more than 70,000 soldiers, and there is not one who does not fear the general in vain from the bottom of his heart. Even peerless generals like Elai and Shi Wansui felt uncomfortable in front of Bai Qi, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous at all.

It's not how brave Bai Qi is, but how ruthless he is.

The battle of Zhaoqing was fierce in vain, which not only frightened the enemy, but also deterred a group of colleagues.

"I didn't say I would punish you."

Bai Qi waved his hand and said: "In that case, let's put this person in custody for the time being!"

"promise!"
