Chapter 174: Pengshan Town

At their marching speed, it would take three days to get from Yong'an City to Zhurong County. These three days were also an opportunity for Yi Wen and others to adapt to military life, allowing them to become familiar with the army they were in.

The daily schedule was similar, and from the next day Yi Wen and others also joined the ranks of standing guard at night.

The first military life made Yi Wen and others feel extremely excited. They were in a state of high excitement every day. Although Lu Huan grew up in a military camp, this was also his first time to officially march with so many people. Naturally,

Also extremely excited.

This is also the first time that Yi Wen and Fang Zhou came to Zhurong County, which is located in the northernmost part of the ancient An Kingdom. Compared with Yunbian County in the south, the climate here is more severe. The beginning of spring has passed by this time, but the temperature at night still makes Yi Wen

Others are feeling a little unwell.

"The climate in Zhurong County is like this. Just get used to it." Yi Wen and the other two people were warming themselves by the fire. A veteran looked at the three of them and said with a smile.

"Brother, do you come to Zhurong County often?" Yi Wen asked, rubbing his hands by the fire.

"The weather in the north is almost the same. We used to go to Gonggong County in the northeast. The Wuyue clan used to be active there, but this time I don't know why we had to go far away and come to Zhurong County and Xuanming County. Everyone privately

Everyone thinks this is a conspiracy of the Wuyue clan." The veteran said while adding firewood.

"It is said that the last time the Wuyue clan harassed the border was only a month ago. They harassed the border twice in such a short period of time. It seems that the Wuyue clan came here with bad intentions this time." Lu Huan heard this from his father before.

A little news later.

According to the intelligence, there is a mysterious force behind the Wu Yueshi this time to help them, but the information they know so far cannot help them find the mastermind behind it. Yi Wen stared at the fire blankly, his heart still

I'm wondering what the Wuyue clan's conspiracy is.

After a night, everyone gathered amidst the sound of drums on the morning of the third day. After these two days of marching, Yi Wen and others had become very sensitive to the sound of this marching drum. Perhaps it was because of the atmosphere in the military camp that they became aware of it.

The drum sound becomes sensitive.

"Brothers, cheer up, we are going to Pengshan Town this afternoon!" After Wu Zhengyi finished speaking, he glanced at his soldiers with satisfaction.

Pengshan Town is one of the important military towns in Zhurong County. There are many troops stationed here, composed of the more elite city defense troops of Gu'an State and some regular guard battalion troops. A large amount of money is spent on building fortifications every year.

It can be said to be one of the towns with the strongest defense in Gu'an.

After a day of marching, the veterans who had been fighting for many years were not even out of breath. The three of Yi and Wen had never experienced such an intense march and were already out of breath. In fact, today was pretty good.

The three of them were even more embarrassed that day. It was their turn to stand guard on the first day, but they were really exhausted, so they had to be replaced by others.

After seeing Pengshan Town in the distance, Yi and Wen and the others felt hopeful. The destination of this march was right in front of them. The three of them took a breath and continued to move forward with the troops.

When the troops marched to Pengshan Town, Yi Wen and others were willing to look at the scene in the distance, which shocked them.

The howling wind rolled up the yellow sand all over the sky, how spectacular it was! This was the first time for Yi Wen and Fang Zhou to see the desert. Although it was only on the periphery, it was enough to feel the magnificence. Pengshan Town in Zhurong County was like a dividing line

, separates the desert from the oasis.

There is only a thin line between life and death!

Yi Wen seems to be able to feel now why so many foreigners have wanted to enter our land since ancient times. The north and south sides of Pengshan Town are really separated by a thin line between life and death. Not even the strongest weeds can grow in the north of Pengshan Town.

There are only a few isolated plants that have never been seen before, but the south side of Pengshan Town is full of life, and there are all kinds of trees planted by the people of Pengshan Town.

When Jing Rong's army entered Pengshan Town, someone took Jing Rong to the military camp of the city defenders.

The structure of Pengshan Town is mainly based on military facilities and supplemented by people's livelihood. Apart from the people who live here all year round, almost no outsiders come here, and many people choose to live in other places. Therefore, many places can be converted from private housing.

The built military camp.

Wu Zhengyi and others were taken to a military camp that had been prepared for them. There were many houses here, which were enough for them to be stationed here.

"Everyone, listen! You are not allowed to harass the local people, and you are not allowed to go out at will except the specified time!" Wu Zhengyi seemed to be a different person after arriving in Pengshan Town, maintaining a serious face at all times.

It seems that approaching the battlefield has helped him find his state.

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison after hearing Wu Zhengyi's words.

"Yi Wen, Fang Zhou, Lu Huan! Follow me!" After Wu Zhengyi finished speaking, he called out Yi Wen and the others.

After the three of them went out, they didn't dare to go up and talk to Wu Zhengyi. Wu Zhengyi now gave people the impression that as long as he went up to talk to him, he would be scolded. They could also distinguish between public and private relations, and it didn't matter how they chatted and joked in private, but now it was a war.

It would be strange if they didn't get scolded if they were still careless.

"You three, go up, the general is waiting for you above." The three of them looked around boredly and followed Wu Zhengyi towards the north gate, and soon they arrived at the foot of the city wall.

"Thank you Captain Wu for your hard work." The three of them thanked Wu Zhengyi and went up to the tower.

After the three of them went up to the tower, Jing Rong was talking to a man wearing silver armor. Yi Wen recognized this armor, it was the standard armor of the Zhengwei camp.

When Yi and Wen saw that Jing Rong and the general were chatting, they did not come forward to disturb them.

The three of Yi and Wen stood aside, but they were not bored at all. Looking at the boundless desert, the three of them were filled with pride. They felt that the blood in their bodies had been ignited, and it would be an honor for them to die fighting to protect the land behind them!

The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, and the sun is setting over the long river.

The smoke in Pengshan Town, the sky dyed red by the sunset, and the endless sight of novice monks made the three of them intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.

"You are here." Jing Rong was chatting with another general just now and did not notice them. Only now did he see Yi Wen and others arriving.

When the general beside Jing Rong turned around, Yi Wen and the other three were stunned for a moment. The general beside Jing Rong was none other than Lei Qian, one of the leaders of the Thunder Division of the Zhengwei Camp whom they had not seen for many days.

After seeing Lei Qian, a message flashed in Yi Wen's mind. This time the Wuyue clan's attack was not easy. Even the most elite cavalry in the ancient Anguo were coming. It was expected that there would be a tough battle.

"Oh? You three are here too this time?" Lei Qian was a little surprised when he saw the three of them.

"It seems that you already know each other." Jing Rong nodded, but there was no need to introduce each other. Jing Rong pointed to the highest sand dune in the north and continued: "Did you see it? Behind that is the Wuyue clan.

At the garrison, Commander Lei has already fought against the Wuyue clan once before we came here. Let Commander Lei tell us the specific situation."

The main purpose of Yi and Wen's three people going out with the army this time is to experience military life and learn practical experience from Jing Rong. Now that they have nothing to do, they just want Lei Qian to tell them.

"The Wuyue Clan's troops are mainly cavalry, and they don't have any special tactics. However, they are very proficient in the application of formations, especially the one-word long snake formation." Lei Qian is in charge of some of the most elite cavalry in Gu'an Kingdom.

Troops, if even he has such comments about the Wuyue Clan's cavalry, then it means that the Wuyue Clan's cavalry is indeed outstanding.

The way to break the formation of a long snake is usually to "grab its head, clamp its tail, and cut off its waist." However, the Wuyue clan's horses are of excellent breed and can run as fast as the wind. No matter how the people of the Jinglei tribe change their formation, Wuyue clan will always be able to break the formation.

People in the clan can respond flexibly.

Although there is a certain gap between the horses of both sides, this is not the final factor that determines the victory of the battle. The victory of a battle depends on the right time, place and people, as well as the leadership ability of the generals on both sides, the morale of the army, etc. From Yi Wen's perspective

It seems that Jing Rong is Yan Yikong's disciple, and Yi Wen has also seen Lei Qian's strength. In his opinion, the balance of victory still favors them.

"They are mainly cavalry, and they will not attack at night if they are too noisy. So everyone must recharge their batteries tonight, and let them learn the methods of the Thunder Department tomorrow!" Lei Qian then said to several guards behind him.

After that, they went back to deliver the order.
