Chapter 1223

The next day.

The Great Wall.

Meng Tian and the others did not strengthen their guard because they had shot the Xiongnu yesterday.

Everything was still the same as usual, living as they always did.

The soldiers guarding the Great Wall were still not many and not few, just like yesterday.

But the soldiers inside the Great Wall were all conserving their energy.

There were also many soldiers training.

If there were any signs of movement, they could react quickly.

Today's weather was not bad; the sunlight was blocked by clouds.

The sky, which had originally been clear and cloudless, also became a bit gloomy.

The Great Wall, which had originally been quite quiet, suddenly rang with the bronze warning bell.

Those who heard this sound for the first time did not react for a while.

The bronze bell sound was loud, far-reaching, and long.

As long as they were people near the Great Wall, they could hear it clearly.

"What is this sound?"

"Don't know, haven't heard it for a long time."

"But this sound is so familiar!"

"This is... the warning sound!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Everyone get ready!"

The new recruits did not quite know what this sound was.

But the veterans knew!

This was the warning sound that there was an enemy invasion!

One passed it to ten, ten to a hundred.

Soon, all Great Qin soldiers knew the news of the enemy attack.

The army was not in chaos, but orderly grabbed their weapons and stood in formation.

Waiting for the latest command from above!

And when Meng Tian and Wang Ben heard this bronze sound,

they put down everything they were working on.

They also quickly ran up to the Great Wall.

But when they stood on the Great Wall and looked toward the great grassland,

there was nothing outside, not even a small lamb could be seen.

But what was going on with this warning bell sound?

"What is going on?"

"Who rang this bell for the enemy attack?"

Meng Tian's face sank immediately.

This bell sound was not something to play with; how could it be messed with?

A soldier ran over quickly.

"General, something has happened!"

"What matter is so urgent?"

Meng Tian vaguely had some guesses, because he saw the binoculars in the soldier's hand.

Places they could not see with the naked eye, the binoculars could see!

That meant it was not necessarily impossible that changes had appeared in places they could not see.

"Countless Xiongnu armies have come from afar."

"This is also the reason why the enemy attack bell rang."

The soldier spoke hurriedly, while also handing over the binoculars in his hand.

Countless Xiongnu armies?

How many people would that be?

Meng Tian could not help but have some doubts.

In his impression, the Xiongnu were not that many people either.

Could it be that this soldier had seen wrong?

Meng Tian did not believe that the Xiongnu had so many armies.

He took the binoculars and began to look.

When he saw clearly, he could not help but be a bit surprised.

It could truly be described as 'countless'.

At about twenty li away, dense figures appeared.

Because it was too far, he could not see clearly for the time being how many Xiongnu armies there were.

But there were definitely not a few people; that large black torrent was rushing toward this side.

One could see a blurred outline.

Among them were cavalry and infantry; looking at this walking speed,

they would arrive at the foot of the Great Wall in less than an hour.

With so many Xiongnu armies, this was the first time Meng Tian had seen it in his life!

He did not know what had happened, why there were so many Xiongnu armies.

The only possibility was that Modu had assembled the Donghu and the Dayuezhi.

Otherwise, the Xiongnu warhorses could not have so many armies.

Looking at this scale, it was estimated that it was close to a million-strong army.

This was truly a terrifying number!

If they came to attack without any preparation, so many Xiongnu armies,

it might really cause some unnecessary trouble for the Great Qin soldiers.

But now that they knew in advance that so many Xiongnu armies were coming to attack,

then the Xiongnu armies would not succeed.

Now the Great Wall had already been completed; unless they could break through the Great Wall,

otherwise the Xiongnu armies could not get in.

As long as they guarded this place well, the Xiongnu armies could not succeed.

It was just that these Xiongnu armies were a bit many.

They were many more people than their Great Qin soldiers.

However, the Great Wall was easy to defend and hard to attack; it depended on the Xiongnu's siege methods.

"There are many people, but as long as we guard this place, it will be fine."

Meng Tian put down the binoculars.

A series of commands were also quickly relayed down.

The soldier turned and left quickly, relaying the commands.

Wang Ben was puzzled.

What was this situation?

Listening to the commands Meng Tian issued, the situation was very serious.

Even the bed crossbows were going to be moved over.

This was already the highest-level large-scale siege weapon being pulled up.

Wang Ben took the binoculars, looked for a while, and was speechless for a long time.

He also knew why Meng Tian had issued such commands.
