The fact that the Wang clan suddenly launched a war against the Zhou clan shocked the entire Barrier Alliance.

The 1st Field Division of Wang's Group Army crossed Los Angeles at lightning speed and arrived at Zhou's northern defensive line, although Zhou had been prepared for a long time, but now Zhou's garrison was lax, and even military discipline was very lax, so that in the first week of the war it was defeated and retreated.

The Zhou clique, led by Zhou Qiyang, began to leave Barrier 73 and move the political center of the Zhou clan to the south.

This kind of cringe-back attitude also made the Zhou soldiers feel cold, and many people said that the generation of Zhou Shiji and Zhou Shoushi was the last glory of the Zhou family.

No one paid attention to this hustle and bustle, and there was an off-road vehicle at Northwest Barrier 144 at this time, driving alone towards the even more lonely Fortress 178 in the distance.

Today's Northwest is lively and prosperous after opening up for trade.

The more than ten walls that originally belonged to the Zong clan in the entire northwest are like a huge matrix, with the No. 144 barrier as the center of the construction and development day and night.

Only Fort 178 stands in the more remote northwest, mottled but majestic.

Nowadays, merchants don't like to go to Fortress 178 very much, because there are more soldiers in the Northwest Army there, so the profit of doing business in Fortress 178 has always been far less than that of other barriers.

Moreover, the other fortresses in the northwest were only one or two hundred kilometers apart, but if they wanted to go to Fortress 178, they could only start from the nearest fortress No. 141 and then pass through nearly four hundred kilometers of no man's land.

There was no place to refuel on the road, no place to eat, everything was desolate.

Due to the lack of vehicular traffic, sandstorms caused by soil erosion in the vicinity often cover the roads with a layer of yellow sand.

Ren Xiaosu drove the off-road vehicle all the way from the highway alone, and the huge yellow sand was lifted by the wheels, like an off-road vehicle dragging a long tail wing, like a meteor across the wilderness.

He had set out from Fortress 144 in the morning, and by the time he arrived at Fortress 178, it was already late afternoon.

The former Xiao Su had also been here, but when he saw the towering fortress again, he still felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.

It was a fortress completely different from the other ramparts, everything was built for war, and the walls were densely covered with firing stacks and honeycomb cannon holes in the cracks.

From the outside, the fortress gives an extremely oppressive sense of intimidation, but inside, you can see the complex structure inside the fortress walls.

Different roads led to various parts of the fortress walls, with wide tracks for transporting artillery and "horse roads" for soldiers.

Ren Xiaosu could even imagine how lively the city wall would be when the war came to this fortress one day.

Xu Xianchu had been waiting outside the gate of the 178 fortress early, and when he saw Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu hugged him cordially after getting off the car: "Long time no see, let's go, the commander is waiting for you." ”

Ren Xiaosu smiled: "Long time no see, Lao Xu." ”

Xu Xianchu suddenly felt that Ren Xiaosu called Lao Xu extremely skillful and cordial, as if the two of them had never been separated.

This made Xu Xianchu feel that Ren Xiaosu definitely really regarded him as a friend!

The two walked all the way to the fortress, Ren Xiaosu was going to drive, but Xu Xianchu stopped with a smile: "The commander has specially explained, from now on, you need to walk." ”

Ren Xiaosu was surprised: "Didn't you say that you only need to hike when you walk all over the checkpoint, why do you start now? Is there such a rule?"

"Oh, it's not the rules," Xu Xianchu said with a smile: "It's that the commander wants the people in the fortress to see what their young marshal looks like, so that they don't know each other in the future." ”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, and at this time he found that people on both sides of the road began to come continuously, not for anything else, just to see his young marshal.

Everyone was smiling kindly, and the residential buildings on the side of the road were crowded with onlookers.

Xu Xianchu explained with a smile: "The people of the 178 fortress are proud to enlist in the army to protect their homeland, and if someone in the family can be selected into the Northwest Army, it will be a thing that can glorify the lintel, and they have to invite the neighbors to dinner." Everyone loves us, so it's normal to be curious about what your young marshal looks like. ”

Ren Xiaosu smiled dumbly: "It's a bit exaggerated." ”

Xu Xianchu glanced at the young girls gathered nearby, and then said with a smile: "If everyone didn't know that you and Miss Xiaojin have a solid relationship, there would be a lot of matchmakers stopping you on the road now." Speaking of which, I also sighed, when we came out of the No. 113 barrier together, you were a homeless person, I was a down-and-out private army officer, and now that time has passed, you are already the young marshal of our northwest!"

At this time, an old man on the side of the road smiled and said: "Comrade Xiao Xu doesn't need to be arrogant, you are the king of the pot in our northwest!

Xu Xianchu said reservedly: "The old gentleman has won the award, he has won the award!"

Ren Xiaosu: "......"

He didn't know that Xu Xianchu already had the title of the king of the pot......

And what the hell is this black cauldron that can cover the sky and the sun, how big is Xu Xianchu's black cauldron?!

"That ......" Ren Xiaosu asked casually, "How old is your black cauldron?"

Xu Xianchu said with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as covering the sky and the sun, it's just a few tens of meters in diameter." ”

"That's big enough!" Ren Xiaosu sighed.

At this time, there were still several veterans standing on the side of the road wearing military uniforms, all of them had gray hair, their bodies were slumped, and the military medals they wore on their chests were wiped shining.

The young marshal's entry into the city seems to everyone to be a ritual, and from today onwards, the authority in the northwest will be alternated little by little, until Zhang Jinglin finally puts all the power in his hands in Ren Xiaosu's hands, which can be regarded as the end.

A veteran watched Ren Xiaosu walk through the long street and muttered in a low voice: "I heard that this young marshal is particularly capable of fighting, but I don't know if he will be as sympathetic to the recruits below as the old commander and Commander Zhang." ”

Another veteran laughed and scolded: "Do you still need to worry about this kind of thing?

These veterans are very old, when Zhang Jinglin became the commander, they were all discharged, and when Zhang Jinglin entered the city as a young marshal that year, they were also standing on the street like this, looking at it from afar.

The old commander they are talking about is not Zhang Jinglin, but Zhang Jinglin's last term.

At this time, someone next to him smiled and said: "In the previous battle with the Zong clan, the sharp knife company made many feats under his leadership, but no one died. So he'll be guarding this place like the Fortress Commanders of the past generations, so don't worry. ”

Several veterans turned around and found that Zhang Jinglin didn't know when he was standing beside them, and Ren Xiaosu also found Zhang Jinglin's figure, so he greeted with a smile: "Mr. Zhang." ”

Zhang Jinglin walked out of the crowd: "Are you ready? This decision has been made, but you are not allowed to look back." ”

......

There are still two chapters in the evening, and it may be late, so now I have to go to the live broadcast to eat elbows first......
