Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 529 Northern Xinjiang ([-])

The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded again in Luanfeng City and gradually drifted away. The people in the city just took a few more glances and then went back to do their own things, the work that should be done, the training that should be trained.

At the beginning, when they heard the sound of horseshoes, they would feel flustered and always thought that a war was about to happen. The shadows of many years made them tremble.

Why do they become refugees? In addition to the debts at home, the main reason is banditry.

At worst, your family's wealth will be empty, and at worst, your life will be at risk.

These bandits also rode horses to and fro like the wind, so they were able to rob houses without being easily caught by officers and soldiers.

The sound of horseshoes used to be a reminder to their ears, the kind that they had to run away after hearing it.

After coming to Luanfeng City, the sound of horse hooves became a symbol of safety. Especially this time when they heard that they were going north to fight against the prairie people going south, the people felt even more secure. It felt good to be protected.

But they won't sit back and enjoy the benefits. His Highness leads the army to fight to the death in the front, and it's not good for them to fish in the rear.

They will work hard to produce the items needed by the army, and the part that can be self-sufficient should be saved a little and not be wasted.

Spending money is a kind of ability, and how to spend money reasonably is also a kind of ability.

Qin Qing and Lian Xin believed that Yan Xuelan could handle the rear affairs well, and she would not worry about anyone messing around while she was away. For example, something like this happened last time. event.

Lian Xinyue stayed in Luanfeng City this time, and the danger of fighting the prairie people this time was unknown, so Yan Xuelan asked her to stay at home and practice the strange puppet art.

Lian Xinyue is in Luanfeng City with peace of mind, so Lian Xin doesn't have to worry about her daughter traveling far away, and can lead the security team to guard Luanfeng City with peace of mind.

And besides Lian Xin, Shen Zhenxin is also sitting in Luanfeng City. He wants to teach Lian Xinyue the strange puppet art, so there is no need to worry about Luanfeng City being attacked by a master. Shen Zhenxin is here, and one will fall. one.

Yan Xuelan and the others rarely chose the official path along the way.

In the past, in order to cover up their whereabouts, they usually took small paths, but this time they didn't go out to do some shady things, so they might as well choose the official way and be upright.

The most important thing is that the official road is very convenient.

The saying to build roads before getting rich is not just lip service, but it really has practical meaning.

Ordinary folk dirt roads are bumpy and dusty. Once it rains or snows, they can easily become muddy, making it difficult to walk, let alone drive and ride.

If roads are not built, it will not only affect people's travel, but also the transportation of goods between different places and commodity transactions, not to mention the mobilization of troops.

This will greatly delay the trip.

There is no ruler who does not pay attention to the problems of roads and transportation.

The annual maintenance costs spent by various countries on the Yuanwu Continent on official roads are not much less than other expenditures.

The reason, of course, is who made this a world of high martial arts. After the strength of the warriors reaches a certain level, it is easy to break gold and crack rocks.

If there is an unfortunate coincidence that two warriors fight against each other on the official road, there will be several big pits in minutes.

It may have been destroyed by someone before it was repaired.

As for the prohibition of fighting on the official road, there are not so many people to manage it. Is it necessary to have a post every five steps and a post every ten steps on the official road?
Then everyone doesn't have to live anymore, just go to stand guard on the official road outside together.

As for the replacement of high-quality materials as the basis of official roads, the cost is one aspect, and there is another important reason. Can you guarantee that no one will secretly dig out the rare materials on the official roads and return them to the furnace for reconstruction?

Therefore, people who make such statements are generally giants in theory and weak in practice. They may have no practical experience at all and only have theoretical knowledge, so they take things for granted when they think about things.

Therefore, if you want to prolong the life of the official road, that is, the service life, in addition to the necessary maintenance of the official uniform, the other more important thing is the self-consciousness of those who walk in the official road.

Moreover, the official road is very spacious and is more than enough for large army movements, so there is no need to worry about road blockage.

Along the official road, Yan Xuelan and the others also saw many teams heading north.

There are countless big and small cars.

These are all transport teams, some are officially organized, some are private organizations.

The vehicles are full of various logistics resources. There are a lot of stocks in the camp of the Zhenbei Army, but the consumption in daily training is not large, but the consumption will increase exponentially in battle, so the rear must take advantage of Now the two sides are rushing to deliver supplies before the war is complete. Now the various points on the Great Wall in Northern Xinjiang are closed to the outside world, but supplies can still be accepted internally.

Now the manpower is still sufficient, the grassland people have not come, and the soldiers in the pass have time to take over the supplies, but once the two sides start a war, it will be life and death, and there is simply not enough manpower to pick up the supplies in the rear, so it is necessary to prepare for transportation in advance.

A convoy like them stopped very consciously when they saw a team like Yan Xuelan. At first glance, this kind of team was heading to the front line of northern Xinjiang, although some people didn't know where these troops, which were almost all composed of women, were. Under the command of a general, but this does not prevent them from showing their respect.

Of course, there are some people in the know who have heard of such a special unit, and even know who the commander of such a unit is, so excited that they can't help themselves, and they keep talking about science with the people around them.

It is said that the prince guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country.

Only today did they fully see such a scene, and the discussion was very heated.

At the same time, there are inevitably some warriors in these convoys transporting supplies. They originally wanted to go to the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang to see if there was a chance to go to the battlefield.

Every time the prairie people invaded, there were many brave men in the land of Beiyan, and they would voluntarily go to the border to kill the enemy and help defend the city.

Not just for his own honor, but also for his own merit.

They are the same as regular soldiers, if they achieve something on the battlefield, they can also get rewards as they wish after the battle is over.

For example, to join the regular army, with military merits to open the way.Their hopes are higher than those of the same regular army test.

He shed blood and sweat for the country on the battlefield, how can you compare yourself to someone who just came out of the martial arts academy?

Unlike competitions outside that focus on cultivation and talent, the military pays more attention to actual results.

Of course, after some people knew that this was Her Royal Highness's army, they did not dare to stop them. They just followed the two sides of the team and expressed their patriotism at the same time.

But, I was politely rejected. These warriors have good intentions, but they followed Yan Xuelan and the others. Slowing down the schedule is one aspect. Another important reason is that it is still unknown whether these people are reliable or not. .

There are such things as Erwuzi at any time. Since there are Beiyan people living in the grassland and making contributions to the country, then the grassland people can do the same thing.

Disguising themselves as caring people, they sneak into the pass, spy on military aircraft, and at the same time take the opportunity to cause chaos when the battle is fierce. Such things happen all the time.

Therefore, recruiting warriors often requires caution. Unless it is a matter of life and death, otherwise it must be treated with caution.

And those who are politely rejected will not be angry, most of them are casual cultivators, and they know how much they have.

Their intentions are very good, but they must be combined with the actual situation.

There were a lot of similar situations along the way, and everyone didn't care about it at the end, and hurried on the road quietly.

At the same time, I also met a lot of city guards along the way, and they were all mobilized to support the front line.

The leader of the team was a member of the military, so he naturally knew who the flag of Luanfengwei represented, so they gave way to them one after another.

With such a large number of people, it can be seen that there are important things, and when it is related to the upcoming war in northern Xinjiang, everyone is very excited.

Everyone's morale was high, and they pushed the logistics vehicles and rushed towards northern Xinjiang.

The princess personally went to the front line of northern Xinjiang. This explosive news is not at all different from the prince guarding the country. In addition, this is not an ordinary princess, she is His Majesty Yan's favorite eldest princess.

She has good looks, good talent, and extraordinary physique. She is the image of a goddess. These little soldiers usually only hear her name but don't see her. This time, they have the opportunity to get close to each other. Naturally, they screamed excitedly.

Feel the body is full of strength.

But they might be disappointed, they thought that Yan Xuelan would go to the camp of the Beijiang Army, which can be said to be the safest place in Northern Xinjiang, and it was the most appropriate place for the princess to come to the front line.

It's a pity that they don't know that Yan Xuelan's goal is not the camp of Zhenbei Army, which is slightly behind.

Instead, he chose Daxingguan, which is on the front line.

And it will be the core position of this battle.

So wait for the guard of Daxing Pass to receive the news from the people below.When Yan Xuelan came with his troops, he was in a daze, and then he reacted and went out to greet him. As he walked, he felt dizzy. Why did Her Royal Highness suddenly come and not go to the Zhenbei Army? Daying actually came to his own Daxing Pass. He didn't think it was because Yan Xuelan had gone the wrong way. First of all, their guiding direction could not be wrong. Moreover, the location of Daxing Pass was relatively remote, so even if they walked the wrong way. The road will not be crooked to Daxing Pass.

The vibrating sound from the south already made the soldiers in Daxing Pass vigilant, and immediately pulled up the suspension bridge at the pass and blew the warning horn.

The entire city wall at the pass was suddenly filled with strong bows and crossbows, pointing in the direction where the vibrations came from.

Although this direction comes from within the country, no one can guarantee that they are friends and not enemies. In the recent military orders, they did not receive any news of cavalry coming from Daxing Pass, so v is definitely not from the camp. .

And they are all veterans, even if the specific number cannot be observed with the naked eye.But they can estimate the approximate number of people based on the sound, vibration, and distant smoke. This is a basic skill that every veteran of the Zhenbei Army will learn.

Judging from the sound and the scale of the smoke and dust, the team of more than [-] people rushed towards the gate at full speed without prior notice. It is impossible to let people not be on guard.

At the same time, someone warned the approaching cavalry at the Daxing Pass that if they attacked the pass again, their strong bows and crossbows would be impolite, and they were asked to quickly confess their identities.

Then the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army in Daxing Pass were killed,

A fiery red flag was hoisted.

There is a soaring phoenix on it as the background, and a big swallow character on it.

Yan is the surname of the country. Needless to say, only the royal family can hold such a flag in the territory of Beiyan. Although others are also people with the surname Yan, if they dare to do so, they will cross the border, and those who cross the border will often be punished.

And the phoenix is ​​not something that can be used casually, only women who are close to His Majesty can use it.

The ladies in the palace don't need to think about it, they will not come to the bitter cold place like the Border Pass, even if they come to work in the army, they will not come by themselves, they must come with His Majesty.

Then the only possibility is the princess.

Although His Majesty has many princesses, there are only a few who can leave the palace, and apart from Yan Xuelan, there will be no second princess who can leave the capital with such treatment, and they can also find the following team if the distance is close Many of them are women, female soldiers, who seem to be the princess's guard?

But why did Her Royal Highness come here suddenly, and brought so many people here?
It's not just the soldiers at Daxing Pass who are a little confused.

Even Wu Tong, the guard of Daxing Gate who was sitting here, was a little confused.

He didn't get the news from the commander that His Highness is coming. The battle on the Great Wall of Northern Xinjiang may break out at any time, so it's inappropriate for His Highness to be here. Do you want to report it? ?But does the labor force need so many people?

Moreover, these people are well-equipped and have a lot of bloody aura on them. At first glance, they are not the fancy soldiers of the guard of honor, and the number of people is a bit too much. Remember that the princess's guards are only 3000 people Ah, but now there is such a large area outside, maybe it is ten times bigger.

This.

Because Yan Xuelan immediately raised the banner and ordered people to hand in the token.

Even Wu Tong who rushed over was not careless, but carefully looked at the token sent up, checked the signs in the record, and then confirmed that it was really Her Royal Highness who arrived, but he did not go out to greet him, but ordered someone to put it down The suspension bridge, but the hard bow and crossbow have not been put down, and they are still in a state of alert. Please, Your Royal Highness, please enter the customs to speak.

Xie Nongqi was beside Yan Xuelan, he was dissatisfied when he heard the news brought back by the soldiers who had reported the news, and wanted to beat up the guard of Daxing Gate every minute.
