——Qin and Chu border. Standing on the border line, spanning thousands of meters of mountains and valleys, the long wall connecting Long Shun City and Huyao City - the border wall.

Since its 81-year construction, it has finally played its role and value. In the southwest direction of the border line, there are dead stones and sand, and a deserted area, which is the extension area of ​​the ancient land.

The wild monsters and monsters who escaped from the ancient land unscrupulously stepped out of the forbidden boundary and entered the territory of humans. The wild monsters who lived in the ancient land for a long time had long forgotten the tender and tender taste of humans. At this time, they stepped into the human area and smelled the people hidden in the wind, and immediately developed a bloody appetite in their bodies. In addition, they had already been aroused by crazy beasts. Now they just want to rush into the human area in one go, kill and bloodthirsty.

But they stopped because there was no way out - they were blocked by the border wall that was thirty meters high and thousands of meters long. The border wall was so high and so long that it completely blocked their way! So the wild monsters could only stop ahead.

Of course, all the wild monsters will not stop in despair. Those strong and powerful wild monsters do not believe in evil at all. They rode the boiling beast blood and the brute force, and rushed towards the border wall in one go. But soon, the vibration of the bones and the pain in their bodies made them realize the strength of this kilometer-long wall.

This long wall, which is completely made of obsidian, is strong enough to be strong and solid. No matter how powerful or crazy those wild monsters are, they cannot shake the border wall even if they can collide with all their strength!

The sun shines straight down, a hard luster is reflected on the Obsidian border wall, and countless wild monsters can only gather on the border line, flashing with the bloody red in their pupils, and they are unable to move forward. After seven tragic ancient wars, the border wall built by humans with great force finally consolidated the border defense line at the first time of the ancient restlessness.

At both ends of the border wall, Long Shun City and Huyao City, which were guarding the ancient city of Long Shun and Huyao City, were also facing the attack of a large number of wild monsters and monsters. Unlike the empty border wall in the middle, the border city at both ends had already ignited the beacon of war.

Because it is a border town where a large number of humans live, more wild monsters and monsters sniff the smell of people and rushed here, so a large number of wild monsters far more than other places gathered at the city of Longshun City. However, when they arrived at the border line, they found that what was waiting for them was a defensive wall that was taller and thicker than the middle border wall. In this obsidian wall that was 100 meters high, thirteen towering original defense towers were embedded and built!

Once the wild monsters try to venture into the human area, the first thing to greet them is not the hardness of the giant wall, but the energy-gathering cannons shot down in the air! It is a devastating attack that the wild monsters dare not carry at will even if they have thick bodies! The defense circles of the thirteen original defense towers are just on the border line, and the border soldiers holding heavy crossbows are also waiting for battle at the top of the city. Zhong Limei, who is responsible for guarding the border city, stood in the middle of the city, pressing the extremely strong obsidian wall with both hands, facing the grim situation of the border city at the moment with nervousness.

The sword was tense and about to break out! But countless roars overlapped and they moved. The scarlet eyes were filled with bloody luster. The wild monsters rushed into the defense circle desperately and rushed to the huge wall protecting the human city.

Then, almost the same moment when the wild monsters touched the defense circle, all the thirteen original defense towers embedded in the giant walls quickly started to operate. The spiral of the prismatic core tower towering into the sky made a strange long sound, and a series of red energy-gathering cannons shot down the air, just like the thirteen thunderbolts in the clear sky, slashing on the wild monsters that rushed into the defense circle first.

But the wild monsters rushed forward with extremely crazy momentum. Although the energy-gathering cannons falling in the air could blow them into scorched meat, they still rushed towards the city wall like a demon, and rushed to the city wall against the energy-gathering cannons flying down the sky, ramming the city wall, striking the city wall, and biting the city wall.

The number of wild monsters and monsters is huge. Even if the thirteen original defense towers shoot continuously, all their invaders cannot be erased in a short period of time. Those wild monsters that have not been shot by the defense towers take the opportunity to step on the destroyed corpses and rush forward frantically. Although the wild monsters that appear temporarily do not have strong strength, their dense number puts great pressure on the human side. Zhong Limei did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered all the guards in the city to shoot down with heavy crossbows.

So at his command, more than 200 fine iron crossbow arrows flew out from the top of the city, and the iron-black arrow rain fell down the nest, suppressing the surging force of wild monsters. Under the city a hundred meters high, those strong wild monsters were inevitably hit by crossbow arrows and were hit by crossbow arrows. As for the small wild monsters with weak bodies, they were directly penetrated by one blow when they encountered crossbow arrows. A rain of arrows swept down, countless wild monsters were injured, and various beast blood splattered into the air and fell to the ground. At the same time, thirteen original defense towers were also gathering energy to shoot without interruption, and holes were blown out on the ground. As for the holes, there must be a pile of scorched flesh and blood.

The tragic scene, this is the ancient war - but to be precise, it is just the prelude to the ancient war. Now, the wilderness who is rushing towards the border city defense circle with red eyes crazy - although this Hegu City was a prosperous city before, its prosperity happened to be based on the high proportion of the young people in the city. Because there are many young people, it develops rapidly in all aspects and has strong vitality in the city..."

"But the basis of good and bad fortune, and it is precisely because of this that Hegu City has suffered the greatest trauma in the wars over the years. Ying Zheng has powerful power to collect human resources and resources from various cities. Hegu City happens to have a large number of young and middle-aged people and rich assets, so it was comprehensively conquered by Bai Qi's army as a key target."

"At that time, the situation in Hegu City was extremely serious, and the city was full of storms. Young people ran away, those who died were killed, and the rest were all captured. Seeing that Hegu City was about to be destroyed, the elderly in the city also fled to other cities with their children..."

"So now Hegu City is almost a dead city, with no population at all. The survival problems in other aspects must be only important." The old man said in a serious voice, "So the villain thinks that Hegu City is really not a good place." "This is beyond my expectations..." Liu Bang said in a surprised expression.

——After parting in Lingcheng, Liu Bang personally led a large army back to the border city. Because the people of Lingcheng who had left the city had no way out, Liu Bang also brought them with him and prepared to place them along the way in other cities along the way.

They had been traveling for three days a few days ago, and their journey was less than a hundred miles. At noon, the sun was shining fiercely and just passing through a forest. Liu Bang ordered the entire army to rest and make fire to make meals. After the meal, the entire army took a short rest, while Liu Bang sat alone on a rock, looking into the distance, and could not hide a touch of solemnity in his light purple pupils. "It has been three days... the journey is less than a hundred miles..." Liu Bang sighed softly. According to this speed, they could not return to the border city after thirty days.

"But the border city war is tense, and time cannot be delayed..." Liu Bang sighed inwardly. He knew in his heart that the old and weak children in the tomb city greatly reduced their marching speed. But what can we do? They must not leave these people alone... Liu Bang knew in his heart that the people's hearts were their most important force, and this was impossible to be lost. So he insisted on leading a group of old and weak children of more than 100,000 people, and no one left behind.

"I can only wait until Hegu City and place the people there before entering quickly..." Liu Bang comforted himself, but there were still hundreds of miles of miles to Hegu City. "Ah..." Liu Bang couldn't help but sighed, feeling the difficulty of the journey, while thinking about whether Xiang Yu and the others were going smoothly. At this moment, a sneaky figure came quietly, and while taking advantage of the inattention of the guards, he approached Liu Bang's side from behind.

"Who?" Liu Bang shouted softly and looked back alertly. An old man slowly walked to him. When he saw him discovering it, he immediately bowed and shouted, "The villain is reckless, please forgive me for your sins."

"I'm welcome, please get up quickly." Liu Bang looked back and subconsciously got up to help the old man up, and then asked softly, "Is there anything you have to do?"

The old man raised his head, looked at Liu Bang, and said with a strange look: "The villain came over without permission, and his behavior was very ill-behaved, but I had something to look for the King of Han. Please don't blame the King of Han..."

"It's okay, let's talk about anything." Liu Bang said, seeing the old man being old and trying to help him sit down, but the old man refused.

"Then I'll be blunt..." The old man paused and his eyes became serious. "I'm brave enough to ask, is the King of Han going to lead the army back to the border town?"

"...Well, yes." Liu Bang hesitated for a moment and replied. "Is the military in a hurry?" the old man asked again.

"... Urgent." Liu Bang hesitated for a moment and said, "How is the King of Han going to place us, tens of thousands of widowed, widowed, orphans?" The old man asked again, "We only have old people and children here, and we have no money or power, and it is not beneficial to you at all. Not only will we eat your military rations, it will also greatly slow down your marching speed... We can't always take us..."

"Old man, you can't say that. After all, you were forced to leave Lingcheng because of our military plan. We should be responsible for you... And as you said, these hundreds of thousands of people are all old people and children, so we can't ignore it..." The old man's words reached Liu Bang's heart, but Liu Bang still comforted the old man with ease, "So you don't have to worry, we will never leave yours..."

"Ah... I thank the Han Wang's kindness for the people, but it's not a solution to keep taking us away." The old man sighed and said to Liu Bang. "I know that everyone is an old man and a child, and I can't bear the suffering of the military even though I have been following us... So I wanted to take the people together first, and then place you in the city when you pass Hegu City on the road ahead. Then we will accelerate our march, so that it will be good for both the military and the civilians."

Liu Bang's light purple pupils flashed faintly. As he spoke, he kept examining the old man in front of him, and indeed saw some clues - the man in front of him was old, but his body was upright, his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were bright. No matter how he looked, Liu Bang thought he was not simple.

"Hegu City... It's still a hundred miles away to Hegu City." The old man said worriedly, "Isn't this delaying you for too long? Why don't you find a city within a few miles to settle the people first?" "What the old man said is. But now Qin and Chu have experienced wars and the situation is bleak. If the people are placed in a city at will, there will definitely be many survival problems. We will leave at that time, but what should these tens of thousands of old and weak people do?" Liu Bang sighed and explained, "Hegu City was considered a prosperous city in Qin and Chu before. I thought the situation there should be better than other places. At least the problem of food and clothing can be solved. I will feel at ease to place the people there."

"The King of Han is so kind... the villain admires it." The old man sighed, and even bowed his hand to Liu Bang for a very standard courtesy. "The old man has been too proud and has served as the king. Naturally, he must protect the health of the family, country and the people." Liu Bang looked at the old man's actions and was secretly surprised, but the surface was calm and he said with a smile.

"But, King of Han, your judgment may be a bit bad..." The old man raised his head, looked at Liu Bang's eyes, and said slowly, "Hegu City is actually not a very deep penetrating into his heart. He looked a little nervous, his eyes dimmed, and he dared not face Liu Bang.

The atmosphere suddenly became strangely silent. Liu Bang stared at the old man for a moment, and then said again: "Since the sir is willing to help me in danger, why don't you show your true face to others - can you not trust me, Liu Bang?"

"No, no! The villain dared not..." the man said nervously, and then suddenly burst into laughter. "It's just that in recent years, young people, both men and women, have been captured by the army. It's true that I can't escape this look..." The man said, and let out a long sigh, and tore off the beard and wrinkles on his face in front of Liu Bang. In an instant, his whole body was completely renewed and appeared in front of Liu Bang in the face of a young man.

"It is not easy to live in a chaotic world. I am used to being cautious by nature. I have no malicious intentions to deceive the King of Han. I hope the King of Han will forgive me."

"Then you are showing your true face in front of me now. Can I think you trust me?" Liu Bang looked at the man in front of me and said with a smile.
