Zhang Yan actually knew very little about the military, even though he had served as a top soldier on Yubei Mountain for more than two years. All he could see were the scenes of frontline soldiers risking their lives on the fortress walls and ridges, as well as the ferocity and power of the monsters.
I only have a vague concept of the internal affairs of the army and the entire border front of Nanyuan Kingdom, and have no intention of exploring or being curious about it. Because he is now in the mainland of Nanyuan, the war on the border is relatively far away from him.
Not to mention Zhang Yan, Zhou Cang's news on many matters is lagging and incomplete. Only people like Lin Zedong who are actually on the front line of the battlefield know best.
"Now the "Fengxiao Clan" and "Xianwu Clan" opposite Yubei Mountain have been eliminated by the power of the Bagua Formation. Most of the fierce flames have been eliminated. The number of people approaching the fortress is 30% less than before. The loss of Yushan Fruit has even been reduced to what it was before. Less than half. It can be said that the results are remarkable.
General Song was stationed at Yubei Mountain and could not move, and I became the candidate used by the Ministry of War to test whether the Bagua Formation could still be effective in other terrains and battle situations. Therefore, he was stabbed to Xiyuan County further south and served as a partial general of the Baishi City garrison.
This looks like a high promotion or consecutive promotions, but in fact it is not a full-scale actual job. He only has a battalion of men and horses, and it is more about arranging tasks in the Bagua array. If the effect is not satisfactory, it would be a good idea to go back to Yubei Mountain and continue to attack General Song, but I am afraid that he will lose his head after writing a confession.
Haha, I'm not afraid of the two of you making fun of me. I'm tightening my grip now, for fear of screwing up and losing my life! "
Zhang Yan smiled and did not answer. He knew that Lin Zedong's last sentence was probably not a joke. The rules in the Nanyuan National Army were so strict that beheading was not an unusual matter. When an errand goes wrong, there is rarely a chance to explain, and the results usually speak for themselves. This is especially true for someone like Lin Zedong, whose military foundation relies entirely on the support of those above him and who has no personal connections of his own.
"So this time I took advantage of the opportunity to go to Yuanding Imperial City to report on my work. I hurriedly rushed out for some time. I just hope to listen to Zhang Jiaoxi's advice. Otherwise, I really don't have much confidence in going to Xiyuan County."
The first person he called in person was "madman", and then Lin Zedong kept calling him "Zhang Jiaoxi". The meeting was to express the friendship from back then, and to show face later, after all, Zhang Yan has changed a lot from what he used to be, and even acquaintances cannot be too casual.
As the words came to this point, Lin Zedong also made his purpose clear.
Zhang Yan naturally understood. I also understand why the other party did not enter Langyuan City but chose to meet in the garrison camp outside the city. After all, the other party was going to Langyuan City to report on his duties in Yuanding Imperial City, and then took a detour to Langyuan City. If the army knew about it, it would be fine, and they would not make it public. However, it would not be appropriate to let the local people know. Moreover, the road from Langyuan City to Xiyuan County is also very far. Even if you travel day and night, you will not be able to stay in Langyuan City for long. So I skipped a banquet and kept everything simple. At the same time, I obviously hope to get Zhang Yan's advice as soon as possible.
The Bagua Array is not something from Longhu Mountain, but an attempt by Taoism to reach out to ordinary people after the end of the legendary era. It was started by Kong Ming, and then later generations continued to fill in the gaps before it took shape. Zhang Yan also learned and memorized it himself.
It was originally given to Lin Zedong not only to clear his name more quickly, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to take care of the elderly and weak in the family. It can be said that Zhang Yan thinks that the exchanges about the Bagua array are very worthwhile. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still do it.
But now Lin Zedong came to ask for advice again, and even made such a long detour to come here. My heart is very sincere. And there was no direct "thank you gift" like the scene.
In other words, Lin Zedong was exchanging his "favor" with Zhang Yan. If Zhang Yan agrees, then Lin Zedong will owe Zhang Yan a favor.
To answer or not to answer?
Zhang Yan smiled, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said, "Please, Mr. Lin, please tell me about the situation in Xiyuan County in detail, otherwise I don't know how to talk about it."
This sentence makes it clear. Zhang Yan was the next favor Lin Zedong received.
Is it harmful to have a good relationship with people in the military? No harm. Moreover, the Bagua array has been given out a long time ago, and now it’s just a few words, so there is no need to give anything more, and it’s a good favor for nothing. No matter how you look at it, it’s not a loss. In addition, behind Lin Zedong was Song Qinghe, and Song Qinghe was Emperor Yang Sheng's teacher when he was the crown prince. Zhang Yan would not have too much good luck.
Lin Zedong and Zhou Cang both had smiles on their faces, thanked them, and without delay, directly told the situation in Xiyuan County. There were even a lot of confidential information about Xiyuan County's defense arrangements. message.
Following Lin Zedong's slow explanation, Zhang Yan slowly had a picture in his mind.
As another county bordering Nanyuan Kingdom and Haoyue Demon Kingdom, Xiyuan County is much more difficult than Chonglan County, which relies on Yubei Mountain.
Yubei Mountain is so steep that it is difficult for monsters to climb in most places. Even if they can barely climb over, they will not be able to scale. The only relatively flat section is also blocked by the Yubei Mountain Fortress. Therefore, although the Yubei Mountain Fortress suffered a lot of daily battle losses, it was generally very stable, and as a defensive fortress, these losses were completely acceptable.
But Xiyuan County is different. The "origin" in the three characters of Xiyuan County shows that the terrain here is flat and not as dangerous as Yubei Mountain. Many places can even be said to be "a flat river".
There is no danger to defend, which means there is no so-called "grand gate". But facing the strength of the demon clan, it is difficult to resist in the open place. Even if they are not burned and killed all the way to the north, it is not something Nanyuan Kingdom can accept. So I thought of the most practical way, which was to build a military fort.
A fort is like a village, and several or even a dozen forts can watch each other to form a defensive whole.
Although this method looks a bit silly, it works well. It can limit the sudden advance of the demon clan to the greatest extent, and protect the big at the expense of the small.
Just like the demon tribe's attack on Yubei Mountain, they all have a motive. Fishing on the back of the mountain is the picture of Yushan fruit. Daxiyuan County is the food output of Tuxiyuan County. Therefore, Xiyuan County is also an important place that Nanyuan Kingdom cannot give up.
"What do you think, Master Lin?" Zhang Yan had some suggestions in his mind after hearing this. But I was still prepared to listen to Lin Zedong first. After all, Lin Zedong is an expert in leading troops in war. Maybe he wants to think deeper and more completely? Zhang Yan won't need to show off his shame by then.
"My idea is to copy some of the Bagua Formation's defensive fortifications in front of the barracks near the border and see the effect first. At the same time, let the soldiers in the barracks start practicing the Bagua Formation's battle positions. From the army in the county The soldiers select powerful backbones to serve as the central position of the first-line Bagua array..."
