"Your Majesty, I haven't found White Tiger Pass. It may have something to do with the terrain, but I saw a defensive stronghold on the mountain in the distance."
Yang Gan raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly.
"Are there two such mountains?"
Arina nodded.
"Yes, the two mountains are not far from each other, and there is a canyon in the middle!"
Yang Gan nodded. If his guess was wrong, the chasm would be at the White Tiger Pass.
"How is this pass?"
Arina didn't know the situation and immediately analyzed it.
"If there is a pass below the chasm, it will be difficult to defend and attack, and almost difficult to attack. The distance is too far now, but I can clearly see the stronghold on the top of the mountain, which is no worse than some cities. It is obvious that there are people stationed here permanently and they often repair it. .”
A look of silence and reason appeared on Yang Qian's face.
As expected, Shang Guo was very resistant to Xia Guo and was always on guard in his heart.
"How far is it?"
"At least five miles!"
Yang Gan looked at her in horror.
"You can see so far away now, and can you still see so clearly?"
Arina smiled and shook the telescope in her hand.
"This is a specially made telescope in the factory. Since it's dark now and the other party is lighting up a torch, you can see clearly if you look carefully!"
Yang Gan began to give orders to Zhu Hongfang.
"Everyone, rest where you are, eat and drink water, dig cesspools, and don't light fires. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
"promise!"
Zhu Hongfang hurried down and started to issue military orders. Ran Jing was not in this army. He was also here, but he had a more important task.
An hour or two away from Yang Gan and others, 50,000 troops marched in neat steps.
All the soldiers were full of energy and had obviously eaten and slept well. Some soldiers were even burping.
In terms of eating, whether it is delicious or not, at least it can feed the soldiers.
Behind them were hundreds of carriages, and it could be seen from the traces of their passing that the objects they were transporting were extremely heavy, and even the packhorses required two packhorses to pull them.
"Has your message arrived?"
Ran Jing looked at the dark place in front of him with helplessness on his face. It was the first time to march so late and it was very inconvenient.
The place in front was all buried in darkness, as if you would fall into the abyss with every step you took, making you feel at a loss as to where to go.
"Not yet, General. Your Majesty has your orders. We must rush to the White Tiger Pass as quickly as possible and lie dormant."
Ran Jing rubbed his smooth chin and hesitated.
"Send three more scouts to explore the road ahead. If there are any problems, please report them in time."
"promise!"
"If you encounter problems with the road surface, please contact us in time to repair the road surface properly."
"promise!"
Yang Gan here.
Zhang Yumeng came over, holding two cans of meat.
"Yang Gan, please eat some too."
Yang Gan took the canned meat and ate it wholeheartedly, frowning deeply.
Although it was dark, the frontier troops had been training for a long time. Even the horses' hooves and mouths were covered with cloth bags, and there was almost no sound.
Pointing to the moon, Yang Gan looked helpless.
"Look."
Zhang Yumeng looked up and saw that the moon seemed to be wrapped in gauze.
"Apart from the fact that the moon is not bright enough, it seems to be nothing."
Yang Gan shrugged.
"You see, it's Mao Yueliang. It might rain. Wow, that's sloppy!"
Look in the direction of Zhu Hongfang.
"Quick, get everyone ready, let's go, hurry up!"
"promise!"
Not long after, the 20,000-strong army organized themselves and started to set off.
Yang Qian tensed up his nerves and accelerated to the foot of the mountain. It was already past nine o'clock.
Let the soldiers get ready, put on their armor, carry their bows and arrows, and be ready to fight at any time.
Yang Qian and his family began to put on their armors. They had no choice but to have someone help them put on their armors, which was indeed countless times more convenient than putting them on themselves.
Not only is it uncomfortable to wear, but sometimes it is easy to put it on incorrectly when threading. Yang Gan's armor is different from ordinary people. It is more delicate and easy to operate. If it were a normal Xuanjia Army armor, it would be very difficult for me to put it on. matter.
At this time, Baili Shuang came over, bowed her hands to Yang Gan, and set off with dozens of rangers.
Dozens of rangers were all dressed in black attire, soft armor, and arm armor. One of them was unusually tall and strong, wearing a thick bronze sword and carrying a heavy phone on his back. He was climbing the mountain. Like walking on flat ground.
After many rangers came to Yuntong County, they found that there were many weapons to choose from and started to think about changing their weapons.
But not many people can use it skillfully after changing weapons, and they almost always use the same weapons. After all, they are used to it, and changing weapons is not a matter of words.
Even some rangers who specialize in swordsmanship cannot even change the material of their weapons. Once the weapons are changed, the weight will be different, which will have a considerable impact on the rangers during martial arts competitions.
This is one of the reasons why they cannot enter the military camp.
In the military formation, whoever uses any weapons must listen to the orders from above. You can't just use whatever you want.
The colors were dark, and instead of being blocked by the steep hillside, these rangers ran towards the hillside as if they were in no one's land.
Not long after, they had arrived below the stronghold. It was a stronghold, but in fact it was a city.
The city stronghold was repaired with nearby bricks and stones. It was not strong and the structure was very steep, which perfectly integrated with the curvature of the hillside.
The city wall is not high, only three or four meters, but with the help of the slope, it looks like it has a drop of at least seven or eight meters. In addition, the construction is steep, which makes it uncomfortable to look at it.
Baili Shuang's face darkened. This place was not as easy to conquer as imagined, which was an unpleasant statement.
If Bai wants to capture this place, he will need at least tens of thousands of troops. This is just the basics. Once the opponent increases their troops, it is really not good to know whether they can capture it.
It doesn't matter if the war horses can't get through. After all, you don't need war horses to attack the city, but if the siege equipment can't be pushed up, it's all in vain.
There are strongholds built on both mountains, which can serve as horns for each other during the white period. No matter where you take a detour, they can eat you to death.
Experts can tell whether there is a cherry or not as soon as they make a move
Those who want to build passes and strongholds must be masters of troop formation.
Not long after, the voices of several soldiers were faintly heard.
"Brothers, when you wait for the rotation, you have to go to bed early, otherwise you won't be able to get up in the morning."
"Can't you get up tomorrow? The higher-ups have given orders that you are not allowed to rest at night. If something happens, you will be beheaded."
"Hehe, it's okay. I've given this order before. If I don't sleep well today, don't even think I'll be able to get up. I'll go to the haystack and relax for a while. There's a bonfire anyway, so I don't think anyone will come over for the night. This is At Baihu Pass, Xia Jun will have to shed his skin when he comes."
"Hahahaha, yes!"
As the words fell, the sound of walking gradually faded away.
Baili Shuang, who was under the city wall, showed a sneer and called the strong man over. After saying a few words, the strong man quickly went down the mountain, found a mountain col and started making calls.
At the foot of the mountain.
Yang Gan received the call and communicated directly. When all the information was learned.
Based on the current situation, they immediately changed their strategy. Unexpectedly, there was going to be a war. Shang Guo's soldiers were still preparing to sleep and were not on duty.
You know, even if there is no war in Yanggu Pass, patrols will be carried out every night, because they are afraid that some soldiers will become veterans after being stationed for a long time.
They also specially increased the number of shifts and how often they change shifts. Those who patrol all night can not only get more rest, but also receive a small amount of financial subsidies and meat subsidies.
In this way, the soldiers of Yanggu Pass can be patrolled every day.
Yang Gan knows that people are inert, and those who are dead are alive, but these problems can be improved to a certain extent through some side subsidy policies.
Of course, if there is a reward, there will be a punishment. Those who sleep for no reason will be punished with three days of sleeplessness. It seems like nothing, but only those who have experienced it know that this is a punishment that humans can invent?
Even in the third period, many soldiers began to beg to die.
As long as they have been punished in this way, those soldiers will never dare to sleep when patrolling at night.
Baihu Pass.
A thin, middle-aged soldier yawned boredly.
"Hey, Lao Wangtou, it's almost time to rest. We still have to stand around."
The skinny veteran smiled, rubbed his sore eyes, and muttered.
"Well, you guys go to sleep first, and I'll take my place later. It's strange why my eyelids are twitching so much today."
Several young soldiers laughed.
"You're old, it's okay. We've been keeping watch for several years and it's okay. Although Fu Yan sent a message, so what? It's so late at night, and the scholar-bureaucrats of Xia Kingdom are still sleeping with their mothers in arms!!!"
"Pooh!"
A mouthful of phlegm spat out from the city wall.
The soldier with one eye wrapped in black cloth looked disdainful.
"I'm really looking forward to the arrival of the Xia Kingdom. As long as I perform meritorious service, I will have land and I will no longer have to pay rent to those adults! Maybe, I will also have the opportunity to become a noble!"
"Hahahaha, one-eyed dragon, I think you'd better get your eye cured first. A scholar-official with one eye, tsk, tsk, tsk, what a disgrace to the scholar-official!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"
Everyone put their arms around each other and walked towards the neighborhood with smiles on their faces.
Propping on the parapet, the middle-aged soldier shook his head with a smile and sighed. He didn't want to fight in his heart. Those young people thought that ordinary conflicts were all the war was about. That was a big mistake.
His eyes gradually became sharper, and the strands of white hair floating around his temples seemed to be recalling the prosperous days of his youth. At that time, there were more vassal states than now, and the land was in darkness. Only in this way could we have this four-legged tripod. era.
If he could, he really didn't want to fight again. Of his three sons and two daughters, two died in the battle. One son lost an arm when he came off the battlefield. One daughter died in infancy, leaving only his daughter.
Thinking of his daughter's pretty face, he couldn't help but touch an ugly rag doll around his waist. An uncontrollable smile appeared on the veteran's face.
Suddenly, a surprised look appeared on the veteran's face, and an undetectable vibration passed through the city wall to his fingers.
