Chapter 649 Gathering
It would be a lie to say that you are at ease in your heart, even the most courageous killer is actually feeling guilty at this time.
Now their situation is that the lone army goes deep into the enemy's hinterland and leads the crowd as a bridgehead protrusion, and they may be attacked by the enemy from three sides at any time. What's more important is that they can't retreat yet. Behind them is the exit of the secret road of Wanli Bamboo Sea. Taking a step back will completely disrupt the front military strategy. Maybe the results of the Jianchuan Great Victory will be wiped out like this. Most of them say not allowed.
So even if you just rushed out of the thousands of miles of bamboo sea, and immediately devoted yourself to the construction of the military stronghold without any rest, the exhaustion and tension made most of the soldiers look bad, but no one said a word complain.
Repair the military stronghold as early as possible, and the army behind a solid fulcrum will dare to advance forward in a big way, so as to ensure the safety of the Shimen military stronghold.
Compared with field battles, human monks are also good at building fortifications because almost all of them practice spells, and the progress is very fast.
According to Pan Shigui's request, the basic structure of the military village must be in place in one step, strictly in accordance with the size and strength approved by the general manager of Taoism, and at the same time, it must be able to accommodate at least 60,000 people.
The main time-consuming thing is the wall, because not only must it be erected, but also enough defensive formations must be placed on it. This is definitely a difficult task for the mages, even if there are thirty formation mages doing this job. , all of them were pale from exhaustion.
However, there is still some confidence in the partial army. First of all, they didn't lose many manpower in the thousands of miles of bamboo sea, and the 30,000 establishment now has more than 28,000, which can be regarded as sufficient manpower, and they only need to defend, and the unilateral pressure will be less. Secondly, there are a large number of golden sword monks in the side army, the number is more than five hundred. It is not known how many top masters there are, but at least if the barbarians come with a large army, they will not lose to the side army at the monk level.
By the afternoon of the second day after Zhang Qian arrived at Shimen, the main structure of the military village had been completed, with a huge area, but apart from the walls of the village, ancillary buildings inside were still being rushed in, mainly the towers, reservoirs, Septic tanks, waterproof ditches, deep wells, etc. In addition, because it will be used as a supply point in the future, a large number of stone houses will be needed as a storage place for later supplies.
A few days is not enough to build a complete large-scale military camp, but after the framework is out, it means that Shimen has initially possessed the basic ability to accept friendly troops and serve as a defensive point.
Zhang Qian and Gan Lin finally got together. Arranged by Pan Shigui. Because Zhang, Gan, and Jiang Cheng had worked under Pan Shigui when they were in the frontier army, and the time was not short, until Pan Shigui retired early for some reason, Jiang Cheng was forced to transfer out of the army and enter Xuanqing Wei, while Zhang Qian and Gan Lin also left the frontier army and were dispatched to the garrison to eat and die.
Before Zhang Qian said that he and Gan Lin were Pan Shigui's old hands. Although Pan Shigui didn't say anything close, it was already a signal that Zhang and Gan were arranged together. Two people who trust and know each other are the safest when fighting together.
It is similar to what the father and son soldiers said in battle.
But on the other hand, because of this trust, Pan Shigui entrusted Zhang Qian and Gan Lin with the task of guarding the camp in front of the right. That is to say, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin have now left the main army stronghold and arrived at the right front of the main army stronghold.
The existence of Qiantan Junzhai is to expand the attack and defense range of the Junzhai and increase the attack and defense methods, and it also has the function of early warning.
But... compared to the main army stronghold, it is not so safe to visit the army stronghold. Once the situation is critical, it is likely to be surrounded and slowly gnawed away.
"Old Zhang, do you think General Pan is taking care of us or beating us?"
"What? Scared?"
"I'm so afraid that I won't do it. I just feel that it's not safe to set up a former military camp in this kind of place. What if?"
"Just in case. If the situation is not right, the army will not come over immediately. With the oppression from Jianchuan, do you think the barbarians really dare to encircle us? Hmph, look farther away, maybe the barbarians If you dare to come, you will be attacked again."
Gan Lin nodded, which seemed to agree with Zhang Qian's statement. For a long time, the two of them were Zhang Qian who used his brains more and Gan Lin who used his hands more, and this is still the case today.
Compared with the main army village, the Qiantan army village is actually built faster. Now not only the walls of the village are fully built and the formation is strengthened, but also the related ancillary buildings of the towers in the village have begun to be built.
"Report! My lord, the spies sent back news that a large group of our troops were found in the west, and they were coming towards us along the edge of the Wanli Bamboo Sea. Now the distance is less than five miles."
Zhang Qian and Gan Lin were already together, when they heard the news, they went to the wall of the west wall to look far away, and after a long meal, they did see a group of people coming.
"Look at that flag, it's from the Jingnan Army. There is a main garrison in the upper Jianchuan military village, and it's from the Jingnan Army. That's what General Pan said!"
"Well, let's report to the main army village. Let's say that the first batch of troops from the upper Jianchuan army village has arrived. Let's visually assess the establishment of a battalion."
The news was sent back to the main army village, and when the other party got closer, Zhang Qian and Gan Lin on the wall of the village rubbed their eyes, seeing a familiar face walking in front of the cavalry team, they looked at each other in dismay.
"That's Shen Hao? Why did he come here?!"
Gan Lin never expected that his old acquaintance Shen Hao would be among the first batch of people to come. Shouldn't that guy follow Zuo Yuliang's Chinese army? Even if you leave the Kundalhu Pass, you should be in Wuhu Lake, right?
After checking the documents and badges, it was confirmed that these people were from the Qianfeng Battalion of the upper Jianchuan military camp. The Chief Officer is also an acquaintance of Zhang Qian and Gan Lin, a former colleague Wu Kai, and Shen Hao who holds the positions of Chief Supervisor and Chief of Miscellaneous Affairs.
"Why are you here?" Gan Lin couldn't hold back his words, and after the formalities were checked, he pulled the smiling Shen Hao aside and asked in surprise. He didn't want to see Shen Hao who was completely ignorant of military affairs on such a frontline battlefield.
"It's a long story. Are you stationed here at Qiantanjunzhai? I'll talk to you later after I give General Pan an order." Shen Hao is also very curious about Zhang Qian and Gan Lin's experiences during this period, but there are still You can't talk too much about military affairs, you need to meet with Pan Shigui in the front to give orders before you can be free.
"Okay, it's important, remember to come to us when you're done."
Zhang Qian and Gan Lin's enthusiasm for Shen Hao made Wu Kai beside him secretly surprised. He knew that Zhang Qian, Gan Lin and Shen Hao knew each other. After all, he was recommended to Shen Hao by these two people, but he didn't expect that there seemed to be a personal relationship among them.
After crossing this former military camp and continuing to move forward, Shen Hao soon saw a larger giant military camp, at least just looking at the wall, it was almost the same as the military camp in the upper part of Jianchuan where he stayed.
