Jacob's ancient river channel.

This is the most convenient way to get in and out of the Andes Mountains.

According to historical records, during the time of the Andes Empire, it was a river hundreds of meters wide that ran through the east and west of the Andes Mountains.

It originated in the Andes Basin, the deepest part of the Andes Mountains, which is now the Andes Inland Lake, and then flowed all the way through the Manyu military territory and most of the plains of Asia Minor.

It was finally injected into the Inland Sea of Zambi, where thousands of sails once sailed, and it was through this waterway that the Andes Empire controlled the western territory of Nuoda.

With the earth-shattering explosion at the end of the Andes Empire, the mouth of the upper Jacob River was blocked by a collapsing mountain road, which greatly changed the territory of the entire continent of Ashan.

In just a few decades after that big bang, the Andes Basin, where the imperial capital of the Andes Empire was located, was transformed into a huge inland lake.

The Jacob River, once one of the main arteries of the Ashane continent, has been transformed into an inconspicuous stream.

The Manyu Army, which was once known as the four major grain-producing areas along with the Asia Minor Plain, the Jiangnan Plain and the Huayu Plateau, was once cultivated by the Jacob River, and became a barren land full of sand and dust.

The size of Zambi's inland seas has been reduced by half compared to its peak, and it is said that it will continue to shrink, and in another 300 years, the former inland sea will become a saltwater lake.

The water originally transported by the Jacob River was diverted southward, forming the current Desperate Nu River, all the way to the former Jiangnan Plain, which is now the Desperate Swamp.

The Bastille was built on the narrowest part of what was once the mouth of the Jacob River.

The most densely populated place for the Andes mountain people is, of course, the Jacob Ancient River, where one-third of the few arable land in the Andes Mountains is located in and around this ancient channel.

The Bastille was most affected by the mountain people around this ancient river, and when they finished the plague with their front feet, there were mountain people behind them, attracted by the good arable land, and then they came in to cause the scourge.

Then the mountain people moved in, and even though they knew that there was danger, those mountain people still couldn't resist the temptation to eat a full meal, and it became a vicious circle.

Bolton led the Bastille's large army into the mountains, of course, he had to take the ancient Jacob Road, and he could only take the ancient Jacob Road, and the mountain beam could only be a small force choice.

The speed of Boton's march was not slow, nor was it by any means fast, and every day he began to walk up the hill, and stopped at sunset, and he could walk fifty or sixty miles a day, and for three days in a row, he was only one hundred and forty or fifty miles from the Bastille.

Although the road was not smooth, it was only a day's march for the Bastille mountain army.

Bull Erickson was full of doubts, and said that saving people is like fighting a fire, soldiers are fast, and his own master is also a person who knows soldiers, so he won't even know such a simple problem, just with the current speed, when he is in the past, he is afraid that the people waiting for rescue will have already turned into a pile of white bones.

And they are now wandering around in the Andes Mountains, which is also extremely dangerous, who knows if there are any lurking Andes mountain people in the surrounding mountains and forests, although the marksman sentry has been scattered, but compared to the huge mountain forest, the number of marksmen is still a little thin, and it is difficult to find those mountain hunters who are proficient in wild camouflage.

If you encounter a great hatred and a deep life, you can give them a few cold blows, and you can't prevent it at all, just with the sins they have done over the years, there is no shortage of such people in the Andes Mountains.

After Erikson talked to the elder Bolton once, the other party still went his own way, and he held all his doubts into his stomach, but dutifully arranged the defense and stationing of the team, and the temporary camp at night was also as perfect as possible to prevent all kinds of night attacks, not to mention leaky, but it was also the best under the current conditions.

In addition to loyalty and personal force, he also has real talent and learning in commanding troops, even if he didn't have it before, he has already formed a set of his own model over the decades.

But the silence along the way was frightening, there were no mountain people who took revenge, and the villages of the Andes mountain people they encountered had already been destroyed, and there was no living person in sight, as if there was no conversation in the Andes Mountains except for them.

Not only the old Bolton, but even the soldiers below felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and they became restless and suspicious one by one.

Bull Erickson stubbornly admonished: "City Lord, it is not a way to continue like this, the soldier's heart is too tight, a little bit of turmoil, before the battle starts, our formation will collapse first, what I am most worried about is that we have been targeted." ”

"Relax, relax. Old Bolton smiled and said, "You are scaring yourself, it is normal for there to be rangers around to stare at us, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that we are being targeted, and there are only two people around who have some ability, the old vulture and the stupid bear, one has already broken the backbone, and the other is completely brainless, if you are smart, you will obediently lie in the nest, if they really dare to come out, just clean it up." ”

Man is a very fickle creature, especially the influence of the environment can not be ignored, before the army, the old Bolton was anxious, suspicious, always feel that there are 100,000 male soldiers hidden in the mountains in front of him.

When he came out with the troops and saw the tragic appearance of the Andes mountain people's village, he was full of pride, and the current Andes mountain people were not much different from the Andes mountain people thirty years ago, they were still a group of loose sand that had been broken from their backbones, and they had been giving him blood for thirty years, even if they were giants, they were also greatly injured.

The most prosperous ancient river in the Andes Mountains is the most prosperous Jacob River, and how many people can be raised in the other poor mountains and bad waters? If there are really so many people on the other side, how can they live so peacefully?

Years of pampering have made themselves a virtue with those old nobles, and they are a little timid and afraid, it seems that they should change their strategies appropriately, and they should come out to sweep and sweep in the future, and do not give these mountain people any chance to turn over, and honestly do their own supply for another thirty years, it is best to find an opportunity to pull out the two nails of Clayton and McGee, then sit back and relax.

Seeing that his general still looked worried, old Bolton decided to tell him the truth: "We don't really want to save people this time, but to deal with official business, don't leave any handle for the old fox in Lingdu, and if we hold on for another day or two, we will turn around and go back to the city, the Andes Mountains are so big, and the messenger unfortunately died of infection, and it is normal for us to find no one." ”

"I see. Bull Erickson suddenly realized, all the doubts in his heart were no longer doubts, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, politics is a thing, even if you look at it for another thirty years, you can't understand it, no wonder you also came out to fight for your life, the other party is the city lord, and at most he is the life of a general.

There are things that can be done but not said, especially when it involves another big man, which is still present with the political wisdom bull Eriksen.

The soldiers below were silent, but the arrangement perfectly carried out the old Burton's plan, pulling out the village later, camping earlier, and marching more slowly.

In the past, he could march at least fifty or sixty miles a day, but now he has thirty miles to the sky, and everything is just to grind time.

But they did not dare to relax in the slightest in terms of defense, after all, they were in a dangerous mountain, and if they neglected their duties, they were playing with their lives.

......

"Didn't we ambush old Burton, why did we become a raid on the Bastille now?" McGee the Skullcrusher felt that his already insufficient brain was even more insufficient.

The battle plan they had discussed a few days earlier was to use the hunting party as bait to ambush the Bastille legion that was rushing to its aid, kill him in a river of blood, and then drive the tail line to break through the Bastille in one fell swoop, and remove the cancer that had plagued the people of Andes Hill for thirty years.

But under Sean's leadership, they went around and around, and even avoided the Bastille Army and appeared directly outside the city of the Bastille.

As for Clayton and McGee not finding out in advance, it is purely normal.

The topography of the Andes Mountains is notoriously complex, and in Sean's words, it is a typical mountain range formed by the collision of two continental plates, crisscrossed by mountains of various directions from east to west, north to south, south to north.

It's hard to see the whole picture in the mountains, even if it's normal for the old hunters to get lost, most of the Andes mountain people don't rely on their own memories and direction, but on hunting dogs.

This is also what makes McGee and Clayton secretly frightened, the route that Sean took them before was quite complicated, just the mountain beams turned over seven or eight, not to mention the interspersed mountains and forests, there are countless places, there are many places where there is no road at all, even if there are hunting dogs, they are not sure to return the same way, how can the other party identify the direction and bring them to the city of the Bastille accurately?

Of course, Sean won't tell them that there is a thing called a compass in this world, no matter how complicated the terrain of the mountains is, just go in the right direction.

According to Sean's observation, in this world, the doctrine that God created the world occupies a dominant position, because there is no intelligent Han civilization, and none of the four major inventions that have played a great role in promoting the process of world civilization have appeared in this world.

In this world, the direction of identification mainly depends on astrology and landmark buildings, and the main recording tools are all kinds of animal skins, stone carvings, wood carvings, and clay carvings, and the transcription method is naturally purely manual transcription, so learning words in this world is a very luxurious thing.

Sean's teaching of words to those orphaned children is carried out through the sand table, and he is not ready to release the crystallization of wisdom from his previous life until he has a certain ability to protect himself.

These things are different from medical skills, in the eyes of people of insight, they can involve huge benefits, and if they are released rashly, not only will they not bring benefits to themselves, but they will also lead to death.

Even so, there are people who are greedy and want to attack him, but the level is not high, and Sean turns around.

For the sake of your own life, you can't be too cautious.

When he first arrived, Sean was not without enthusiasm, thinking that he had embarked on the road of a protagonist from time to time, and whether he could try to try to change the world.

But the cruel reality gave him a blow to the head, an ordinary cold almost made him die in the cradle, since then, hard exercise, develop a good life and rest habits have become his first priority.

In this world where illness is completely dependent on resistance, and a small illness can kill people, the safest way is not to get sick.

If you want to change the world, you must first live to adulthood.
