64. Baltic Sea

Ye Feng's army was already near the Baltic Sea, and in Northern Europe, the weather was getting colder and the nights were getting shorter and longer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info There are almost no people in sight, and when passing through the territory of the Franks and Saxons, Ye Feng bypasses the coastal areas and tries not to contact them.

Due to Ye Feng's rapid travel, so far, Ye Feng has not met a person, the ancient land is vast and sparsely populated is definitely beyond your imagination, it is difficult to imagine what kind of purpose the ancient people had on the expedition, because a long-distance trip is definitely not comfortable and pleasant.

Many people die of illness because of the lack of adaptation. But because of the advanced health system of the legion, there was no large-scale infection, even the plague was strangled in the cradle, and the climate in Northern Europe was cold, so it was not a hotbed of viruses, so the level of hygiene was good.

The climate is getting colder and colder, but Ye Feng is very prepared, the soldiers put on new clothes, put on leather clothes, and the brown leather clothes stained the originally colorful legion into a sea of gray. Even the Gallic war slaves were given a shabby beast coat, which made the slaves a little excited and hot-faced.

The current Ye Feng's army is located in northeastern Europe between 54 and 65 degrees in northern Europe, and the Baltic Sea region is in the transition zone from temperate oceanic climate to temperate continental climate, with westerly winds prevailing throughout the year and frequent storms in autumn and winter.

It's summer and autumn, and although there are no storms yet, we have to be prepared. The cold wind whistled by, like the terrible cry of a demon girl, Ye Feng tightened the bearskin coat on his body, and a black bear head was covered on his head, Ye Feng was like a bearskin berserker in Norse legends at this time.

Soldiers passed him one after another, some of them breathing as they walked, and white mist blew up. The cold in northern Europe is similar to that in northeastern China, where snow often begins to fall before winter arrives.

Ye Feng pinched the horse's belly hard, urging the snow-white horse to speed up and keep up with the troops. The soldiers stretched like rows of dense pines and cypresses, standing tall and orderly.

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and stared carefully at the scenery in the distance.

The Baltic Sea is the least salinous sea in the world, with a length of 1,600 kilometers, a width of 190 kilometers, and an area of 420,000 square kilometers. Floice, cod and herring are produced. Moreover, the forest cover area in ancient times was still very high, from north to south, tundra and forests.

The Baltic Sea coast is high in the south and low in the north, high in the east and low in the west, and the glaciers are widely distributed.

The most important thing is that the Baltic coast is a plain, which is conducive to the vertical and horizontal of the cavalry.

Look at the endless plains and green grasses in the distance, and the occasional small patches of forest.

And what Ye Feng is most greedy and eager for is the Nordic war horses in the Baltic Sea region that adapt to the cold and are not afraid of the cold, their body size is not very tall, similar to Mongolian horses, hard-working and cold-resistant. Under the cover of snow, these horses are sure to be breathtakingly beautiful. Ye Feng imagined.

Ye Feng was a little looking forward to Ridan having diplomatic affairs with these Yonedes as soon as possible, he couldn't wait to hear new information, on the boundless plain, the most boring thing was to hurry.

However, different regions have different natural structures and geographical environments, just like people with different skin colors, different appearances, and different customs.

The Baltic Sea is heavily glaciated, with most of the glaciers flattened into plains with ice-stained hills, long sand dunes along the Baltic coast, and lowlands in the middle.

Ye Feng took a closer look at the soil under his feet, ranging from sand to heavy clay, Ye Feng dismounted, grabbed a handful of clay, rubbed it with his fingers, and felt a stickiness. No one saw Ye Feng smile slightly.

The central part of the Baltic Sea region is dominated by podrite and peat soils, and the land is fertile, while the northwestern part is dominated by loam. The limestone soil is the main soil, and the southeast is sandy soil, so the land is relatively barren.

Ye Feng looked up at the sky, and the eagerness in his heart was even greater, he had to find a place to settle in a hurry when it was snowing and torrential rain, and most of the Baltic Sea received the most rain in August.

Ye Feng's mind was carefully thinking about the information that Ridan had told him.

The marshy areas have a large amount of peat, forests and meadows cover about a quarter of the Baltic coast, and the trees are pine, spruce, oak. are all great resources.

However, mineral resources are scarce, and even the iron ore of the Jonedians comes mostly from trade. There is only a small amount of iron ore in the local area, and the most important thing is that there is an Icelandic horse, the most pure Icelandic horse in the world, it is small, but it is amazingly powerful, suitable for long-distance running, the life span can be up to 40 years old, the body height is about 1.25 meters, and it is naturally friendly.

Waves of gray swept across the green earth, creating a striking contrasting color. Razor-sharp metallic swords and axes, and ghostly spears. Rows of them flickered with the gray waves.

While Ye Feng was marching, he also collected ten mutes in the legion, they couldn't speak, they could only listen. Moreover, they are all illiterate and can't write any ethnic characters at all, Ye Feng regards them as the guardians of his secrets to carry out his most secret tasks.

And they have been subjected to the harshest training.

The cold wind was howling, Ye Feng's face was blown purple, and Ulding nodded, signaling that everything was done.

Ye Feng meticulously looked at the ten Huns wearing animal clothes and leather armor in front of him, most of them were self-pitying, their eyes flickering, and they lacked self-confidence. Ye Feng's eyes were straight, and he had no interest or mood to ask the names of these disabled people. Instead, he said sternly:

"From this day forward, you will be my close attendants. Uldin, let them be doubled with Romanesque training. ”

After speaking, Ye Feng entered the yurt without looking back. But these Huns, who had lost the ability to speak, had a glint in their eyes, and their originally gloomy eyes had regained some vitality, and it was their supreme glory that they could become the personal servants of the Holy Lord's apostles.

Ye Feng was very afraid that his identity would be discovered, and he was also afraid that he would leak secrets in his sleep, so the most reliable way was to let the people around him never be able to open their mouths, the first class was a dead person, and the second class was a dumb person.

Ye Feng was in a very bad mood these days, because Ridan and the few gray-robed priests who were preaching did not have any information, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Ye Feng knew that if he had not found a place to settle before the winter came. The consequences were unimaginable, because the climate and topography of Northern Europe were unfamiliar to the Huns. Although there is still a way, a full-scale invasion.

Ye Feng marched during the day and trained in the afternoon, and under the sunset, the orange sunset along the coast was extremely beautiful.
