Chapter 35: Departure

In the outer city of Yuanjing City, there are sixteen acropolises. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the Acropolis, as the name suggests, is the city of guards. They are all built according to the undulating terrain of mountains and rivers. are all standing at various key nodes. Of these, there are eleven acropolises, which are semi-military and semi-commercial.

Such an acropolis has only basic guards, and its main role is to serve as a wharf, granary, bazaar, treasury, and material transfer station. It mainly houses the families of soldiers and merchants, but also provides services for residents and warriors in the outer city, and the living atmosphere is greater than the military atmosphere.

There are also five acropolis, which were built on the outermost part of the capital city of Yuan. Eastern, Northeastern, Northern, Northwestern, Western. They are pure militarized acropolises. The main role is to guard and protect the capital of Yuan.

In each of the acropolises, there were five legions of the Central Town Army. The Dayu military system, one army of 10,000 people. The Central Town Army is a unit directly under the capital city of Yuan, which is separate from the local town and military districts.

At dawn, in the easternmost military acropolis, it was already brightly lit. In the open space of the school field of the Acropolis, tens of thousands of town soldiers were busy. There were hundreds of wagons of all kinds parked in the school yard, and the sergeants sorted a large number of items into the wagons quickly.

A wagon was quickly filled, and a civilian military officer in charge of the area immediately ran over.

"Name of the material, quantity. Vehicle serial number. The officer asked the sergeant who was in charge of the handling around him.

A military commander stood up, gave a military salute, and replied in a loud voice: "My lord, our team is loaded with fresh water, a total of twenty barrels, 10,000 catties of fresh water. The serial number of the vehicle is the daily necessities car, No. 87. ”

The officer nodded, didn't speak, and got into the car directly to start the inventory and inspection, and even lifted several buckets with his own hands to test the weight. As well as check the bucket itself, whether there is any damage, whether the seal is intact.

"No problem." The officer checked it and took out a notebook to register and make: the grocery car, No. 87. 10,000 catties of fresh water. Confirm that it is correct.

"Release. Shipped away. The officer waved his hand and gave the order. He ran to another vehicle in a hurry.

"Name of the material, quantity. The serial number of the vehicle. ”

"My lord, our team is loaded with goods. Ten boxes of purple gold, a total of 5,000 catties. Fifty boxes of Qi and Blood Pills, a total of 5,000 catties. Cargo vehicle, serial number fifty-six. ”

"This, this, this. Move these boxes down, I'm going to check. The officer clicked on several different parts of the box and said.

"Yes, sir." The three sergeants were not too troublesome, and moved the goods down again, unpacking and counting. The box opened, and a box contained layers of purple gold flatbread. The two boxes were filled with red and shiny like pearls, revealing bursts of fragrant Qi and Blood Pills.

The coins of the continent are mainly silver, gold, and purple gold. Daily life is dominated by silver. Gold is a supplement. Purple gold is rare and valuable, and it is a large coin. Purple gold of the same weight is worth a hundred times that of silver. Ten times that of gold. Therefore, this cart of coins is equivalent to five million taels of silver. 500,000 taels of gold.

Qi and Blood Pill, as the name suggests, has the main effect of enhancing Qi and Blood. Qi and blood are the most basic and fundamental needs for martial artists to practice martial arts. A Qi and Blood Pill can allow a warrior to practice for a month. It is a very precious three-pin elixir.

Don't look at an elixir that is less than the size of a thumb, but it weighs half a catty. The density of the same volume is even several times more than gold. It is the most needed elixir for warriors in the human realm, and one is worth five thousand taels of silver.

The officer began to count, meticulously: "One, two, three, forty-eight, forty-nine, fifty." Ten pounds of a purple gold cake. The weight is sufficient, and the quantity is correct. Qi and Blood Pills, one, two, three, fifty. Well, fifty in a box, fifty boxes in total. The quantity is correct. Release, transport away. ”

"Yes." The person in charge of this car is a hundred households. Because this cargo car is equivalent to a small mountain of gold that moves, and its value is too valuable. Baihu nodded, and drove the car into the main road of the Acropolis.

It can be seen that in the main road in the Acropolis, hundreds of large carriages have been parked, including cargo vehicles, material vehicles, and even combat vehicles for combat and inspection. These carriages were lined up in an orderly line, and various vehicles were constantly joining.

On the eastern wall of the Acropolis, Yu Canghai, Lei Meng, Xing Xingde, Xiao Wu, and Qingyu were observing from afar.

Raymond looked at the busy sergeant below, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking. Qingyu is Yu Canghai's maid, and this time she went out and was responsible for taking care of Yu Canghai's daily life. She had a low status, so she silently lowered her head and followed closely behind Yu Canghai.

Xiao Wu is the captain of the Jinwu Guard, and he is also the commander of Yu Canghai's guards this year. This time Yu Canghai went to Dingzhou, and Xiao Wu was also sent a mission, that is, to take his 100th brother to form a personal guard team to be responsible for Yu Canghai's safety.

At this moment, only Yu Canghai and Xing Xingde were talking there. To be precise, it was Xing Xingde who was teaching Yu Canghai.

"When an army travels, the first priority is food, fresh water, and forage. The second is weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, and arrows. If you look closely, in fact, these are all materials, and in a sense, materials are the lifeblood of the army. Because this time, we won't be resupplying in the cities along the way, so we'll have to bring everything ourselves. ”

"So your Highness, look, there are more than 2,200 carriages traveling this time. In addition to three hundred wagons and one hundred and fifty chariots, and a handful of wagons for occupancy. The other more than 1,700 vehicles were all various supply trucks. ”

"We have more than 30,000 men, 30,000 horses, plus 8,000 horses to pull carts, and 5,000 horses to replace. The daily consumption is the same as the amount of the mountain. ”

Yu Canghai nodded, this trip. He was responsible for transporting a batch of supplies, nominally a reward for the Martial Arts Association of a given state. The Central Town Army sent three legions, a total of 30,000 people, to escort and accompany them.

As for why they didn't pass through the city to resupply on the way, it was because of the secret mission of the Shenwu Marquis, and these central town troops would be replaced by Jin Wuwei at the junction of Zhili and Dingzhou. The supplies in the carriage will also become other things.

Yu Canghai didn't have to guess, he knew that it must be exchanged for combat items. This requires a lot of wagons. Therefore, if these town troops were to supply in the cities along the way, there would be no need to bring so many wagons. It's all about hiding from people.

"Your Highness, it's time to go." At this moment, a middle-aged man with a majestic face, a majestic figure, and a fierce posture walked over.

"I've seen the general." Seeing him coming, he was happy and happy, and Xiao Wu immediately saluted. Yu Canghai also bowed his head. Although he was the chief officer of this operation, you can tell that he was standing on the city wall and did not participate in anything. He is only in name only, without any real power. And the actual person in charge is the general in front of him.

Yu Canghai said: "Everything is based on the general, let's go down." ”

After getting off the city wall, Yu Canghai walked into the center of the long queue of carriages, where there was his exclusive luxury carriage. Surrounded by a hundred Jin Wuwei, who are in distinct armor, energetic, and strong in martial arts. There are a full ninety high-level martial artists and ten beginner-level great martial artists.

Yu Canghai got into the carriage, and Qingyu followed. Raymond and Xiao Wu rode horses and followed outside. Xingde is a minister, he is in charge, and he doesn't know where he went.

"Woooooooooooooo The desolate and heavy sound of the horn sounded from far and near.

"Open the gates."

"Between the legions, there is a gap of five miles. First Corps, forward. ”

"The thousand-man brigade is spaced five hundred meters apart."

"The team of 100 people is 100 meters apart from each other. Advance. ”

The sound of orders rang out throughout the Acropolis. Through the window of the carriage, Yu Canghai saw dozens of chariots patrolling back and forth in the ranks, giving orders.

In front of each chariot were five tall dragon horses, all of which were covered with special armor. Behind the chariot is a frame made of stainless steel. Each tank had a squad on which ten sergeants stood. Those who drive, those who carry spears, those who carry spears, those who carry long whips, those who carry bows and crossbows, those who carry shields, and those who command, each have their own division of labor.

A chariot with a total length of ten meters and a width of five or six meters is a small moving fortress. The sergeants who can get on the chariot are all elite warriors, and the most important ones are also martial artists. They are ruthless patrols, vigilantes, heralds, enforcers, such as those who break away from the ranks, those who disobey orders, and they are whipped on the spot.

When it comes to war, they are ruthless overseers. But those who retreat from the battle and do not obey orders have the right to kill them on the spot, and they can even take over the command of a hundred households on the spot. They are also heroic stormtroopers in times of need.

The combat power of a chariot can kill a great martial artist with a single face. Hundreds of chariots charged in formation, gods blocked and killed gods, and demons blocked and killed demons. No warrior dared to resist head-on.

Even the same number of Jin Wuwei did not dare to use their flesh and blood to confront it head-on, otherwise it would definitely be a one-sided slaughter. A chariot is the highest combat power of a legion. The equipment of the central town army is already very high. But for every 10,000 people, the army was only equipped with 50 chariots, and the personnel were only 500.

"Xiao Wu, isn't it better for the army to be more concentrated. Why do they have to separate the space, or so far away. Yu Canghai opened the curtain of the carriage and asked Xiao Wu who was not far away.

"It's a shame." Before Xiao Wu could speak, Raymond on the side laughed at him. Even the surrounding Jin Wuwei had strange expressions on their faces, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.

Yu Canghai looked innocent, this was the first time he had left the palace, and the first time he traveled with the army, who knows.

Xiao Wu adjusted his expression and said, "Cough, Your Highness." There are actually very few times to concentrate. They are all large-scale battles, when the two armies face each other. And it depends on the terrain, the opponent. When marching, it is necessary to open the space, we are carrying out this legion, or in the capital of Yuan. When you get outside, you pull it farther. “
