Although he said he had fifteen people under his command, there were only two Orions that could really be used, and whether they were willing to serve or not was not a question.

It's a good thing that this ragtag group of people didn't cause any trouble for themselves. It seems that they still have to go out and get some Liao heads with guns. When the time comes for the heads to be raised and counted, I can hand over these heads to him.

However, before taking action, Zhao An ordered that only two people should be left in each beacon tower.

Everyone else will come over and have a meeting at the beacon tower in the east.

"We are all poor people, and I know you don't want to die here. I am the same, and I am also afraid that I will die in this barren land like this. I have a reputation, and although I am just a small scholar, but once He is also an official. Wouldn't it be unfair if I died here?" Zhao An paused here and continued after looking at the expressions on everyone's faces.

"So starting today, we will strengthen the beacon towers. Although each beacon tower is four feet high, it is not impregnable. After being attacked by someone, it is not an easy-to-defend or difficult-to-attack place. Although each beacon tower is surrounded by three sides The dangerous place is extremely steep. It is difficult for the enemy to climb up through these three sides. However, there are no natural dangers to defend behind the beacon tower. For this reason, we need to dig a moat. In fact, it is like digging a trench ten feet deep. After digging the trench, lay wooden spikes at the bottom, and lay straw on top to cover it. We will put a suspension bridge in and out. If the enemy invades rashly, they will be killed in this trap trench." Zhao An said and looked at it. He glanced at the hunter brother.

"Brothers from the Zhang family, please work hard to teach us about this. Even if the enemy comes, even if they are ten times more powerful than me, let them never come back." Zhao An looked at the two of them and said

"Yes, following orders and setting traps is what my two brothers are good at. And this is also about the lives of my two brothers. We should do our best." The two nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, we will be stationed here for a long time. We must know everything around us. From today on, I will go around everywhere. Look for more water sources to prevent the enemy from putting poison at our water points," Zhao An said , everyone’s heart skipped a beat.

Every beacon tower has a spring dug at the foot of the mountain.

Although this is a flowing water source, it is not a stream after all.

Once someone poisons it, this small spring will not flow cleanly for a while.

If everyone eats it by mistake, the consequences can be imagined.

"You've grown up," everyone said sincerely, clasping their fists.

"Zhang Hu, you come with me now. Let's go a little way to have a look." After Zhao An arranged everything, he was about to take Orion Zhang Hu out to check out the situation.

Each of the three beacon towers managed by Zhao An is no more than one mile apart.

Although they are all mountain roads, fortunately they are not difficult.

To the north of these three beacon towers is the ground of the Liao Kingdom.

In front of this beacon tower, there is a flat area of ​​three or four miles. Once there is movement in the enemy's army, the beacon tower will set off beacon fire as an early warning.

However, the military regulations of the beacon tower clearly stated that the beacon fire could only be set off when the enemy's strength was more than 1,000 men.

This means that once the enemy sends more than a hundred troops, the beacon tower will be very dangerous. We can only seek help from behind by sending orders.

Fortunately, every day, a team of scout cavalry would pass by.

Even if something happens, these cavalry will convey the news as quickly as possible.

But, it’s almost noon now.

Zhao An did not see the scout cavalry coming and going.

"As we travel along, only the veterans of the beacon tower near the border are stationed. The other beacon towers seem to have been abandoned for a long time. The beacon tower is still like this, I am afraid that the scout cavalry..." Orion Zhang Hu whispered uneasily in Zhao An's ear.

"It seems that if something happens, we can only rely on people like us." Zhao An is not afraid. He has Spider-Man clothes on him and a gun in his hand. It's just that no matter how miserable these people are, this is what they need to start their own business. If these people are all dead, what does it mean to be so handsome?

"I'm afraid only you two brothers among these people have the ability to resist. Once the enemy attacks, even only twenty or thirty people can take down our three beacon towers. It would be nice if we had more people." Zhao An didn't want to say If something goes wrong, it would be too troublesome to explain it like this with a gun in front of these people, and if people know that you have a treasure, it will be detrimental to your future development. After all, I am just a little tall now.

"I heard that in the past, there were twenty soldiers stationed at each beacon tower here. Sir, think about our accommodation on the beacon tower. The big bunk in each room can sleep seven or eight people. Each of our beacon towers There are four or five such rooms on the stage. But now there are only five people. Obviously the number of people is wrong." Zhang Hu said what he understood and what he saw.

While talking, the two of them had already descended to the bottom of the mountain. Move towards the direction of Liao Kingdom

"You are an Orion, look for more water sources around here. And I will go forward to see if there are any traces of the cavalry passing by." Zhao An said and pushed Zhang Hu away.

"Sir, you must be careful that there is an open space ahead. Once enemy cavalry appears, you must quickly escape into the woods." Zhang Hu said and handed his bow and arrows to Zhao An.

"Well, you have to be careful about not using the bow and arrow. You can bring it with you. If there is any game, you can also hunt one or two to improve the food for everyone." After saying this, Zhao An walked along the flat road at the bottom of the valley towards the mountain pass. Go outside.

Along the way, Zhao An carefully looked at everything around him and the road under his feet.

There isn't a fresh hoof mark here.

The problem is serious, indicating that no scouts have passed through here in the short term.

But according to regulations, they should ride through it every day.

After all, the beacon will only be lit when more than a thousand enemies appear. Usually, scouts need to pass on information about small units.

The scouts even had to go dozens of miles into the Liao Kingdom to conduct inquiries.

Zhao An walked out of the mountain pass and came to this open area of ​​three or four miles.

When Zhao An went out, someone on the beacon tower was surprised to see three or five cavalrymen from the Liao Dynasty riding towards this side.

What surprised the people on the beacon tower even more was that they also saw the lonely Zhao An walking out of the mountain pass into a forest in the open area.

"Quick, warn the commander!" On the northernmost beacon tower, someone quickly ran upstairs while looking at the cavalry in the distance and yelled.

When there is no wind or obstruction, human voice can be transmitted up to 10 kilometers away.

The beacon tower was high up, and Zhao An obviously heard these shouts.
