Chapter 1214: Wanlichangcheng, spanning heaven and earth

~5 min read 870 words

Northern border.

On the Great Wall.

Grand General Meng Tian stood on the Great Wall, looking out at the vast grassland.

It seemed as if something in front was attracting him.

Besides Meng Tian, there were many soldiers standing guard on the Great Wall.

And not far from the Great Wall was the Shu border camp, where countless soldiers were stationed.

At this moment, Meng Tian was holding a telescope, staring at the outside of the vast grassland.

They had been here for several days.

And when they first arrived here, the Great Wall project here had already been completed.

The laborers who built the Great Wall had already withdrawn.

Now the Great Wall had all been connected together.

Looking from afar, the Great Wall was like a guardian.

Wanlichangcheng spanned between heaven and earth like a black dragon.

Like a heavenly barrier cutting off the connection between the vast grassland and Great Qin.

Except for a natural "portal," there was no other entrance or exit.

And that "portal" was a mountain crack more than three zhang wide.

It had been cleverly built into a giant stone gate by Great Qin's laborers and craftsmen.

This stone gate was incredibly heavy, requiring at least a hundred people to work together to open it.

This was considered the only "way out" to the vast grassland.

As long as this stone gate was opened, warhorses could roar out.

And people outside wanting to come in, unless they could ram open the heavy stone gate, would not be able to enter.

Moreover, there were many support brackets inside the Great Wall, plus heavy troops guarding here.

It was unlikely for people outside to ram open this gate.

As for wanting to climb the wall to get in, forget it.

Because the wall of this Great Wall was also very high; it was fine for one or two people to climb up alone.

Wanting everyone to climb up was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

That was impossible; otherwise, this Great Wall would be like a sham.

And they had hundreds of thousands of soldiers guarding here.

"How is the situation?"

A person older than Meng Tian asked from the side.

Meng Tian put down the telescope.

He looked at the person on the side; this person was Wang Ben.

Before, when Meng Tian took the border defense army to Nanyue.

Wang Ben was responsible for leading 200,000 new soldiers to guard the Great Wall.

"Recently, the Xiongnu appearing outside the Great Wall have become more frequent."

Meng Tian said and handed over the telescope; Wang Ben took it and looked outside the vast grassland.

Sure enough, as Meng Tian said, there were many Xiongnu cavalry riding horses and wandering outside.

He didn't know what they wanted to do.

When Wang Ben and the others were guarding here before, they hadn't discovered these Xiongnu.

They had only appeared recently, appearing for about half a month.

At first, Wang Ben was like facing a great enemy.

During the time he stayed here, he was constantly training the new soldiers.

He didn't dare to relax at all, just fearing the Xiongnu would attack.

After all, they only had 300,000 new soldiers here.

The border defense army was not there, and Wang Ben had no choice.

Fortunately, the Xiongnu cavalry were just wandering outside.

They had no intention of getting close.

It wasn't until Meng Tian brought people back that Wang Ben finally felt relieved.

Now, with new soldiers and the border defense army, the force here reached 600,000.

With 600,000 Great Qin Ruishi guarding the Great Wall, even if the Xiongnu attacked, they couldn't break the Great Wall.

Unless the Xiongnu integrated all the forces of the vast grassland, they couldn't contend with Great Qin.

They received news that the current Xiongnu King is Prince Modu.

Prince Modu is the son of Touman Chanyu.

Prince Modu integrated the vast grassland; both Donghu and Dayueshi were taken by Prince Modu.

But whether the Xiongnu lost more or gained more, they didn't know.

If the Xiongnu suffered heavy losses, that would certainly be a good thing.

But if the Xiongnu integrated Donghu and Dayueshi, their force might be very large.

"What do you think His Highness is thinking?"

Wang Ben didn't understand His Highness's instructions.

Meng Tian could only shake his head when he heard this.

"Many people can't keep up with His Highness's thinking."

"If it weren't for His Highness not letting us start a war, we would have already fought out."

"Now the new soldiers behind are estimated to be arriving soon."

Not to mention Wang Ben not understanding His Highness's meaning.

Even Meng Tian couldn't understand it.

Originally, Meng Tian thought that after rushing back to the northern border, he would fight a decisive battle with the Xiongnu.

He wanted to take down the Xiongnu, this hidden danger, as early as possible.

When leaving Lishan, Meng Tian originally wanted to ask His Highness for instructions.

But time was a bit tight, and it was not good to disturb His Highness's rest.

Therefore, he directly led the troops and left Lishan.

But just half a day after he set off from Lishan on his way. ===== CHAPTER 1216 =====
