The morning sun is just rising, and the dawn falls on the Shanhaiguan Pass. The patrolling officers and soldiers walk through each pass in turn. The busy morning makes them a little breathless.

"Really, our place can be regarded as the hinterland of the dynasty. Is it necessary to patrol every day?"

A soldier said impatiently.

"Isn't this the border with the Tang Dynasty? How can it be the hinterland of the dynasty?"

Another soldier asked, puzzled.

"Brother, are you stupid or naive?" An older soldier said with a smile: "our Qing Dynasty is now in name only. It's a subsidiary country. Although the Tang Dynasty doesn't mean to annex us, you can see that people of the Tang Dynasty walk in our country just like their own backyard. There's something about our Qing Dynasty."

"However, I think your majesty and the Empress Dowager are very active in training soldiers and making great efforts to govern. Maybe one day the Qing Dynasty can..."

"Don't be silly, brother. You see, half of our territory are people of the Tang Dynasty. Military supplies, not to mention daily necessities, are not suitable for the circulation of the Tang Dynasty. Now maybe some people still remember the Qing Dynasty. Who will remember the Qing Dynasty until the next generation?"

"But what is the significance of the Tang Dynasty's doing so?"

"it is said that before Li Xian and his princess, we had an agreement, but we did not annex the Qing Dynasty in the rest of life, but who knows this thing? We have been to the imperial palace of the Tang Dynasty, but we heard that...

The well-informed soldier said with a secret expression on his face.

"All right." This is, Wu Chang finally said: "when you can go back, you can take back the keepsake."

The party stopped talking and rushed to the designated place to retrieve the keepsake.

This is the rule of the garrison at every pass of Shanhaiguan Pass. The previous day's patrol team will leave a certificate at each place, and the next day's team will take it back and leave a new certificate. In this way, some teams can be prevented from working in the mountains.

These means were arranged by yuan Chonghuan, the new general of Shanhaiguan.

Of course, this move is also very hateful and makes many soldiers complain. There is no way to do this.

Many people, like the soldiers of this team, feel that this is the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no accident at all. However, yuan Chonghuan must use this method to carry out the work.

It is said, of course, that the idea was concocted.

"Ah, third, look over there. Am I dazed?"

All of a sudden, a soldier was staring in the same place in one direction.

"What happened to you."

Another soldier came up and was equally stunned.

"What are you two doing?"

The commander was also helpless. He just came to call back the two soldiers, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was still in the same place.

In the mountains, a tall ancient city is like a huge monster, crawling on the ground. According to their memory, that place should be a mountain.

"Boss, are we going to hell?"

"Or let's go and have a look."

"Don't talk nonsense. Let's go. Let's go."

The commander immediately stopped the two soldiers who wanted to come forward and sigh. He lowered his body and stepped back.

Among them, he was the oldest. He was originally a scoundrel, but later became the commander of the patrol camp because of his health. At a glance, he could see that there was something wrong with the city and there were people in it.

In the hinterland of the border, a city of people came out of thin air. In an instant, he knew something.

"You guys, separate and go back to the city by the path."

Several other people had been stunned by the scene in front of them. At this moment, the commander talked, and they did not hesitate any more. They left separately.

Shortly after they left, a group of soldiers in black armor with wild animals engraved on it appeared.

"Someone?"

"You two go back to report and chase."

Without any nonsense, these people whooshed apart and walked in the jungle like wild animals without hindrance.

Soon, the middle door of the city that appeared out of thin air opened wide.

One hundred thousand soldiers came out, all in black armor from top to bottom. On the armor were all kinds of wild animals, majestic and aggressive.

As soon as these people entered the mountain forest, they disappeared immediately. It was almost inconceivable that there was no movement in the 100000 troops, as if they did not exist.

……

"Is that true?"

In Shanhaiguan, when yuan Chonghuan came back from his inspection, someone reported that the soldiers on patrol had important news.

"There's no empty word under me. It's the wild animals. They come out suddenly, and Wu Chang and Lao San are all eaten. I..."

The soldier who came back was covered with blood and trembling. It was obvious that he was greatly frightened. Yuan Chonghuan looked at him and said nothing more. He ordered his men to take him down to take care of him. On the other side, he beat a drum to call up the three armies.Almost at the same time, another soldier came to report that there was an enemy under the city.

Yuan Chonghuan did not dare to delay. He went straight to the top of the city. He saw the black army coming from all directions, just like the tide.

These soldiers are bigger than normal people in height. With their huge armor, they are really like wild animals. What's more, they are not ordinary people. They are not inferior to war horses by running.

"Well, where do these guys come from?"

The deputy general could not help but swallow his saliva.

Shanhaiguan, with its back to the Qing Dynasty and facing the Tang Dynasty, is a military town. How could these enemies suddenly appear? They didn't receive any news.

"No matter where they come from, they will prepare for war."

Yuan Chonghuan yelled and ordered the three armies to defend the city in the south, while in the north he himself went out to meet the enemy.

His idea is not complicated. These troops of unknown origin are obviously gathering together, waiting for an opportunity to attack the city together. In this case, they will not be able to gain a firm foothold.

At once, yuan Chonghuan led his elite troops out of the city. The drums were thundering and the enemy scolded him.

However, no one from the other side came out to talk. The other side stood silently like a machine, and did not see yuan Chonghuan's army at all.

"General, the last general is willing to fight."

A deputy came forward and arched his hand.

"Well, be careful."

"I will understand."

Immediately, the young deputy general led the vanguard battalion to the enemy.

Yuan Chonghuan squinted, intending to see the enemy's reality. ..
