To the north is the West Sea, which is also known as Qinghai Lake in later generations. Now it is a very huge ocean, with countless water systems pouring into it, bringing endless vitality to this vast ocean.
The Queen Mother Kingdom of the West is located in the Qilian Mountains just north of the West Sea.
Nearby, there is the "Salt Pool", which is the Chaka Salt Lake. During the Han Dynasty, it was said that there was an immortal sea and a salt pool at the stone chamber of the Queen Mother of the West.
If there is a salt lake, this is a place that must be fought over. Back then, the Yellow Emperor and Chi You also grabbed the salt lake in the east of the river, and the Western Queen Mother Kingdom has been repeatedly harassed by the Kunlun Tribe around the Qilian Mountains. One of the big reasons is because the Kunlun Tribe wants to
I want this salt lake.
The army came to a checkpoint. The construction of this checkpoint was somewhat similar, with some Central Plains architectural styles, but now it was deserted. It seemed that it had just been abandoned, and there were a large number of drainage ditches nearby.
"This should be the gate built by the warriors of the Western Queen Mother Kingdom. It is said that they were defeated by the Gonggong clan's flood more than half a year ago, and many people were killed and injured, so they built a gate defense here."
"The Dihong clan should be attacking their home country now, so everyone here has withdrawn to their home country."
The Central Plains Legion reactivated this stronghold, slightly modified the facilities here, and at the same time sent cavalry to notify the logistics troops, preparing to use this checkpoint as the rear area to further advance to the bank of the West Sea.
"It will be the ninth cold winter soon. The cold in the West Sea is different from that in the Central Plains."
Although the climate was very warm at this time, and even in many desert areas in later generations, there are now large amounts of water sources, these are just the benefits brought by the great flood era. The floods destroyed most of the tribes downstream, but nourished the drought-stricken areas.
In the Northwest, however, the flood season will soon pass, so as the years go by, the water flow in this land will gradually disappear.
The cold climate in the northwest has always existed, and the impact of the ocean on this area has been minimal. Warm and moist airflow cannot reach the land near the plateau, and the cold high pressure blowing from outside the North Sea firmly covers this land.
"Build more earth walls, collect more water sources, paste more river mud, and splash the walls with water when necessary."
Boss Cao's one-night ice city is of great tactical significance at this time. It can be used in this severe cold season in the northwest. Although the earthen wall is weak, if it is covered with river mud and splashed with river water, a strong north wind will blow through it overnight.
After blowing wildly, the city turned into an ice city the next day, making it difficult for arrows to penetrate and for swords to fire.
It is a very good choice for quick and enhanced defense.
After this stronghold was reactivated, the territory recovered in this war also advanced to not far from the West Sea.
A large number of sentries were sent out to find the location of the battle between the Dihong clan and the Western Queen Mother Kingdom, and to explore the surrounding situation. Hot air balloons are not suitable for fighting on this land, because in the West Sea area, the winds are strongest in winter and spring, and hot air balloons
Do not take off on a windy day.
There is no "Wind Master" profession in the army of the Central Plains. Although the Rain Master can control wind to a certain extent, it is difficult to compete with the strong winds in the northwest region. After all, wind is the flow of the atmosphere, and
The winds stirred by the Rain Master are all produced by magic power. Using one person's magic power to fight against the endless energy of heaven and earth is doomed to failure.
Only Feng Bo, transformed into the north wind, can open up a windless road.
"Rain Masters are no longer popular in this era, so Uncle Feng basically doesn't see them anymore."
Yu Zai muttered a few words. Without the support of airdrops from hot air balloons, it meant that the next battle would all take place on the ground.
The army found a sheltered area and camped on the spot, waiting for the sentinels who were released to bring back news.
And this news did not keep everyone waiting for too long.
Someone came back soon, and Chu Qin still found the first-hand information. As a veteran who had fought guerrilla warfare with the Cangwu clan for many years, it was not difficult to follow the clues and find the opponent's stronghold.
The army broke out of camp and quickly marched towards the stronghold that Chu Qin had found!
In a certain tribal stronghold.
This place is heavily guarded by the Dihong clan, but these people are very strange. They wear strange masks. They look a bit like the worshipers of the Ghost Country Orochi, but they are very different. The Ghost Country Orochi's one eye is horizontal.
, but the eyes on these people's masks are all vertical and located in the middle of the face.
The vertical eye in the mask has no nose and mouth, and there are two slits on both sides of the single eye, which are peepholes used to observe the outside world.
Their tribe is called "Wei", and they have a surname. They have the surname of Great Ji. They were once the descendants of Shaohao and the descendants of Xuan Xiao!
"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness North Classic": There is a man who has one eye and is born in front of his face. One said he is the surnamed Wei, the son of Shaohao, and eats millet.
Shaohao's son, Beifa, was once sent to the mountains in the south and died of old age under the green mountains, while Shaohao's other son, "Wei", was sent to the wilderness of the northwest.
Migration of tribes is a very common thing. When Shaohao was still alive, he sent his sons to rule the lands in all parts of the world, but his sons did not have as strong a governance ability as he did.
Back then, Shaohao's son Wei brought Shaohao's bloodline to the land in the northwest. He married a god and gave birth to powerful offspring. After two hundred years of intermarriage, almost all the people in the tribe had blood flowing in their bodies.
Blood of the gods.
These masked warriors looked at the setting sun. Another day passed, and they were one step closer to the demise of the Western Queen's Motherland.
The sun has set on the mountain, and it is said that it will set on the distant Fengju Yumen Mountain, and then pass through the cabinet pine on the farther Fang Mountain and fall into Yuyuan.
But suddenly, the sun rose again!
Countless people wearing masks turned their heads and looked to the southeast!
There was a huge sun that appeared from the mountains and fields without any warning. Under the light of the sun, countless figures formed a vast ocean and launched a vast charge towards this stronghold!
The sound covered the whole sky, shaking all the fields, making hundreds of birds fly in fright, and all beasts fleeing in terror!
"Who are those people!"
"Defend quickly!"
The horn sounded, and the masked people in the stronghold took up weapons, rolled out the ballista, prepared the trebuchet, picked up shields, and put on bronze armor. Their copper equipment faced the dazzling sun, looking extremely dazzling!
They were preparing and staring at the opponent's army. They were waiting for the moment when the trebuchet would hit the opponent's camp and crush the opponent into pulp!
But they didn't wait.
Because there was a huge roar between heaven and earth!
The black flying objects, with their ever-present tail flames, illuminated the dark and dark sky above them in the northwest!
Fire shot up into the sky, and the shocking wave of energy destroyed the trebuchet and ballista. The mask was engulfed in the sea of fire, and the pride of being a demigod was crushed together!
