This is the most convenient way in and out of the Andes Mountains.
According to historical records, during the Andis Empire era, this was a several hundred meters wide river that ran through the Andis Mountains from east to west.
It originates from the Andis Basin in the deepest part of the Andis Mountains, which is now the Andis Inland Lake, and then flows all the way through the Manyu Army Territory and most of the Asia Minor Plain.
Finally, it was injected into the Zambe Inland Sea, where thousands of sailboats once shuttled. The Andis Empire relied on this waterway to control the vast western territory of Notia.
With the earth-shattering explosion at the end of the Andis Empire, the mouth of the upper reaches of the Jacob River was blocked by a collapsed mountain road, causing huge changes in the entire Ashan continent.
In just a few decades after the big explosion, the Andis Basin, where the capital of the Andis Empire was located, turned into a huge inland lake.
The Jacob River, once one of the main arteries of the Ashan continent, has become an inconspicuous stream.
The Manyu Army, which was once known as the four major grain-producing areas along with the Asia Minor Plain, Jiangnan Plain and Huayu Plateau under the irrigation of the Jacob River, has become a barren land filled with dust.
The area of the Zambia inland sea has shrunk by half compared to its peak period, and it is said that it will continue to shrink. In another three hundred years, the former inland sea may become a saltwater lake.
The water source originally transported by the Jacob River was diverted southward, forming the current Nu River of Despair, and rushed all the way into the former Jiangnan Plain, which is now the Despair Swamp.
The Bastille was built at the narrowest point where the Jakob River once exited the mountain.
The most densely populated place among Andis mountain people is naturally the Jacob's Ancient River Channel. One-third of the few cultivated lands in the Andis Mountains is distributed in and around this ancient river channel.
The people who were most harmed by the Bastille were also the mountain people around this ancient river. After they had done the harm, the mountain people in the mountains behind were attracted by the good farmland and moved there, and then they continued to come in and cause harm.
Then more mountain people moved in. Even though they knew there was danger, those mountain people still couldn't resist the temptation of a good meal. This became a vicious cycle.
Of course, when Burton led Bastille's large troops into the mountains, they had to take the Jacob's Ancient River Channel, and they could only take the Jacob's Ancient River Channel. Taking the mountain ridge could only be an option for a small group of troops.
Burton's marching speed was not slow, nor was it fast. He started walking every day when he reached the top of the mountain and stopped at sunset. He could cover fifty or sixty miles in one day. He walked for three days in a row, and it was just a mere departure from the Bastille.
One hundred fourteen and fifty miles.
Although the road was not smooth, for the Bastille Mountain Legion, it was only a day's march.
Bull Erikson was full of doubts. They said that rescuing people is like putting out fires. Soldiers need speed. My master is also a man who knows soldiers. He doesn't even know such a simple question. He just relies on his current speed and waits for it to pass.
, those waiting for rescue may have long since turned into a pile of bones.
Moreover, it is extremely dangerous for them to wander around in the Andis Mountains. Who knows if there are Andis mountain people lurking in the surrounding mountains and forests. Although the sharpshooters and sentinels have been sent out, compared to the huge mountains and forests,
Said, the number of sharpshooters is still a bit thin, and it is difficult to find those mountain hunters who are proficient in camouflage in the wild.
If you encounter someone who is in deep trouble and is desperate for his life, you can't stop him by trying a few tricks on them. Based on the evil they have done over the years, there is no shortage of such people in the Andis Mountains.
After Erikson talked to Old Bolton once, he still had his own way of doing things. He kept all his doubts in his stomach and just dutifully arranged the team's defense and garrison work. The temporary camp at night was as complete as possible.
It is far from watertight in case of various night attacks, but it is still the best under the current conditions.
Being able to be relied upon by Old Bolton for decades, in addition to loyalty and personal force, he also has real talent and knowledge in commanding troops. Even if he didn't have it before, over the decades, he has already formed a set of his own
model.
But the silence along the way was terrifying. There were no mountain people seeking revenge, and the villages of the Andis mountain people they encountered had been destroyed long ago. There was not a single living person in sight. It was like they were the only ones in the Andis Mountains.
, there is no more conversation to say.
Not only Old Bolton and the others, but also the soldiers below felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and each of them became restless and suspicious.
Bull Eriksson bit the bullet and remonstrated: "City Lord, continuing like this is not an option. The soldiers' hearts are too tense. There is a slight disturbance. Our formation collapsed before the battle started. What I am most worried about is
Yes, we have been targeted."
"Relax, relax." Old Bolton said with a smile, "You are scaring yourself. It is normal for there to be stragglers staring at us, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that we are being stared at. There are a lot of people around.
The only two people who are capable are the old vulture and the stupid bear. One has already had his spine broken, and the other is a completely brainless fool. If he is smart, he will just lie down in his nest. If they really dare to come out
, just in time to clean it up."
Man is a very fickle creature, and the influence of the environment cannot be ignored. Before sending out troops, Old Bolton was uneasy and suspicious. He always felt that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers hidden in the mountains in front of him.
When I led the troops out and saw the tragic scenes of the Andis mountain people's villages, I felt heroic. The Andis mountain people now are not much different from the Andis mountain people thirty years ago. They are still a group of people.
San Sha, whose spine was broken, had been bleeding for thirty years. Even a giant was still severely damaged.
The most prosperous ancient Jacob river channel in the Andes Mountains has this kind of virtue, how many people can be supported in other mountains with barren mountains and rivers? If the other party really has so many people, how can I live such a peaceful life?
After many years of pampering, I have become as virtuous as those old nobles. I am a little timid and afraid of getting into trouble. It seems that I should change my strategy appropriately. In the future, I will go out more often to sweep and sweep when there is nothing to do. I will not give these mountain people any chance to stand up. Honestly
If you continue to be your own source of goods for another thirty years, it is best to find opportunities to remove the two nails of Clayton and McGee, and then you can sit back and relax.
Seeing that his general still looked worried, Old Bolton decided to tell him the truth: "We are not really here to save people this time, but to deal with official business and not leave any clues to the old fox in charge of the capital.
, if we persist for a day or two, we will turn around and go back to the city. The Andes Mountains are so big, and unfortunately the messenger died of infection, so it is normal for us to not be able to find anyone."
"That's it." Bull Erikson suddenly realized that all the questions in his heart were no longer questions. He couldn't help but secretly lamented that even if he looked at politics for another thirty years, he wouldn't be able to understand it. No wonder he came out to fight for it too.
The other party is the city lord, and the most he can do is take the life of a general.
There are some things that can and cannot be said, especially when another big shot is involved. Bull Erikson still has this political wisdom.
He kept silent to the soldiers below, but the arrangement perfectly implemented Old Bolton's plan. Every day he broke out of the camp later, set up camp earlier, and marched at a slower pace.
In the past, I could march at least fifty or sixty miles a day, but now I can march thirty miles to the sky, all just to kill time.
However, they did not dare to relax at all in terms of defense. After all, they were in a dangerous mountain. If they neglected their duties, they would be making fun of their own lives.
…
"Didn't we ambush Old Bolton? Why did it turn into a raid on the Bastille now?" Skullcrusher McGee felt that his already insufficient brain was even more insufficient.
The battle plan they sat together to discuss a few days ago was clearly to use the hunting party as bait to ambush the Bastille Legion, killing them in a river of blood, and then drive the rear troops to defeat the Bastille in one fell swoop, eradicating this scourge.
Thirty years of cancer among Andis mountain people.
But under the leadership of Sean, they went around and around, avoiding the Bastille Legion and appearing directly outside the Bastille city.
As for Clayton and McGee not discovering it in advance, it is purely normal.
The topography of the Andes Mountains is notoriously complex. In Sean's words, it is a typical mountain range formed by the collision of two continental plates, with mountains running east-west, north-south, south, and north criss-crossing.
It's hard to see the whole picture when you're in the mountains. It's normal for even the old hunters to get lost. Most Andis mountain people don't rely on their own memory and direction to find their way, but on their hunting dogs.
This is what makes McGee and Clayton secretly frightened. The route Sean took them to take was quite complicated. They climbed over seven or eight mountain ridges alone, not to mention the countless mountains and forests that interspersed with them.
There are no roads in many places. Even with hounds, they are not sure they can return by the original route. How on earth did the other party identify the direction and lead them to the Bastille accurately?
Of course Sean would not tell them that there is something called a compass in this world. No matter how complicated the mountain topography is, just point in the exact direction and walk.
According to Sean's observation, in this world, the theory that God created the world occupies a dominant position, because without the intelligent Han civilization, none of the four major inventions that have greatly promoted the process of world civilization have appeared in this world.
In this world, the main means of identifying directions are astrology and landmark buildings. The main recording tools are various animal skins, stone carvings, wood carvings, and clay carvings. The transcription method is naturally purely manual, so learning writing in this world is a must.
A very luxurious thing.
Sean teaches writing to orphaned children through the sandbox. He is not prepared to release the wisdom crystallized in his previous life until he has a certain ability to protect himself.
These things are different from medical skills. In the eyes of knowledgeable people, they can involve huge interests. If they are released rashly, they will not only bring no benefit to themselves, but will also lead to death.
Even so, there were still people who were greedy and wanted to attack him, but their skills were not high enough, so Sean turned around and took care of him.
For the sake of your own life, you can never be too cautious.
When he first arrived, Sean was not without enthusiasm, wondering if he could try to change the world since he had been playing the role of a cheating protagonist from time to time.
But the cruel reality gave him a hard blow. An ordinary cold almost killed him in his cradle. From then on, working hard to exercise and develop good living habits became his top priority.
.
In this world where illness is entirely dependent on resistance and a minor illness can kill someone, the safest way is not to get sick.
If you want to change the world, you must first live to adulthood.
