As the ground burns to white ash, not only is it much harder to step on, but after laying a layer of hay or branches on top of the bedding, it will be warmer to sleep at night and not get damp.

The simple camp is ready, and more rebels are busyreads();.

The volunteers of the brigade carried wooden barrels to fetch water from the stream more than a mile away, and there were also special personnel to cut wood, cut firewood, level the camp, set up tents, inspect open fires, splash insect repellent powder, boil water and make rice...... It is worth mentioning that, like bandages, raw water in the rebels is also strictly forbidden to drink, no matter how thirsty it is, it is necessary to take water and boil it.

This is also a regulation issued by Chen Wu himself!

It was only by relying on these strict regulations that many people did not understand at all from the beginning of the army, coupled with adequate preparations, that the army had lost only a dozen people in the past few days when it entered the Bayan Mountains, including an unlucky guy who was killed by a leopard's sneak attack......

Finally, it's the seventh day since entering Bayan Mountain!

In just one week, the pressure on the Taiping army was ten times greater than the continuous high-intensity training on weekdays. The point is, even after a week of walking, they are still in the outlying area of Bayan Mountain. If you want to go east to Guò, this natural barrier, I don't know how long it will take.

The lack of hope is the most terrible thing.

Every day, Chen Wu could feel the exhaustion and complaints creeping up among the rebels. There was even a faint mention of yì, so they simply turned around and returned to the periphery of Bayan Mountain, and hid in this mountain for the winter. Anyway, there is enough food, and there is no fear of running out of water in the stream. When the Empire's armies lose patience and leave, they go out again.

There are still many people who support such negative remarks that are waiting to be killed.

It's just that Chen Wu's prestige is already quite high, enough to suppress the complaints in the army, so he has not dared to openly oppose it for the time being.

However, after today, Yiqiē is different.

Chen Wu would use the facts to make them understand that any decision made by General Tiangong was wise. They don't need to question, they just need to follow!

Around noon, the army made its way through the foot of the mountain with difficulty. After bypassing a section of rocky hills, it suddenly changed its direction sharply, no longer heading east, but almost straight north. This abrupt change of direction shook the hearts of all the high-ranking members of the righteous army.

Thinking of Chen Wu's previous confident promise, many people were vaguely aware of something.

"Speed up, it's good to go after this stretch!"

According to Chen Wu's order, similar encouraging words quickly spread among the rebels. After struggling for almost a kilometer of the mountain road and crossing the dense forest, the army stopped in front of an inconspicuous stone forest. After tearing away the large dry vines that had fallen from them, an entrance about ten meters wide and only large enough for three or four carts to march side by side appeared in front of the army.

The exit of the famous HSBC promenade has been exposed to the eyes of the world in the Eastern Continent for the first time after being hidden for countless years.

Under Chen Wu's order, the army slowly marched forward. The rebels who took the lead soon discovered that the situation in the stone forest was very different from what they had imagined. The stone slabs of the feet have been polished by thousands of years of wind and rain, and they are no different from flat ground when stepped on. This natural passage, which is almost like a mountain valley, although it is tortuous and deep, even the narrowest place can at least ensure that two large cars can pass through Guò together. Occasionally, falling debris blocks the way, but with a little clearing, it can be reopened quickly.

Walking between the stone forests, the speed of the cart is unexpectedly fast, almost comparable to the official road outside!

This section of the stone forest, which stretches for six or seven miles, is a miracle and coincidence created by nature!

After the previous painful march, the army walked between this flat and chaotic stone forest, and almost cried with emotion. Many soldiers even secretly hoped in their hearts that it would be nice if they could keep walking like this until they crossed the entire Bayan Mountains.

However, although the stone forest is only six or seven miles, the journey behind is not more difficult than this.

After resting for the night, because there was no water source in the stone forest, the water stored in advance was used, and the army had to set off immediately. Walking out of this stone forest, Chen Wu's order abruptly changed direction to the southwest again. After enduring only about a mile of mountain road, the army turned down a slope into a canyon.

The middle section of this canyon leads to the highest peak of the entire Bayan Mountains, Daba Mountain, and then it cleverly bends an arc there and goes straight to the east, and finally leads to Yuyangfu in Songjiang County.

It's also the main part of the HSBC corridor!

According to the research of players from the HSBC Chamber of Commerce, this canyon, which spreads for dozens of miles, was gradually formed by the uplift of Daba Mountain.

The terrain of the canyon is relatively flat, and although it is not comparable to the natural passage between the rocky forests before, it is roughly equivalent to Cheng Dù, which has just entered the outer reaches of the Bayan Mountains. The people and horses can be unimpeded, and after the engineering battalion has been repaired, the convoy can bump and bump through with some effort.

At the very least, the speed of the army has increased to ten miles a day!

Compared to the hardest week after entering the mountain, it is much better.

At this time, the Taiping army finally believed that there was really such a road in the Bayan Mountains that could be traversed by the army!

"It's hard to imagine what kind of luck it would take to find such a path in the Bayan Mountains."

Chen Wu's unreasonable and abrupt changes of direction before were almost impossible for normal people to appear. And as long as there is a little wrong connection during the period, the entire HSBC corridor is likely to be missed. Seeing that the army had gone deep into the canyon, Mo Guohao, Xu Shizhong and other generals had to admire the "grandfather" in Chen Wu's mouth.

What they don't know is that this is another world, where hundreds of players have resurrected countless times!

However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.

On the fourth day of entering the canyon, the army finally marched to the middle of the HSBC corridor, which is the foot of Mount Taba, the highest peak in the entire Bayan Mountains. As the terrain suddenly becomes flat and wide, a small valley naturally forms at the foot of the mountain. With an altitude of more than 2,600 meters, Daba Mountain effectively blocks the cold current from the north and south, turning this isolated valley into a very rare place that is almost like spring all year round!

Even in winter, the valley is still green!

The strange scenery of the out-of-season, let alone ordinary soldiers and generals of the Taiping Army, even Yuan Xingwei, who was full of poetry and books, opened his eyes and marveled at the beautiful scenery again and again.

"How?"

Looking at the shock of the hands, Chen Wu asked with a little pride.

"Unthinkable!"

Yuan Xingwei sighed unabashedly: "I have only heard of it, the Qingyue Kingdom in the south is like spring all year round, and flowers bloom all year round. I never thought that in the very center of this Bayan Mountain Range, there would be such a scene, which is really a place of heaven. ”

"Since you think it's so good, how about we stay here for a month or two?"

Chen Wu smiled and put forward the plan he had already thought of.

"The scenery is good, but it's enough to enjoy it for a while, so why not?"

After a brief period of surprise, Chen Wushou's henchmen quickly figured out Chen Wu's true intentions, and couldn't help but clap their hands and shout reads();.

At the bottom of the world, I'm afraid there is no safer place than this!

There is enough food, and there is a small lake formed by the mountain spring of Daba Mountain next to the valley, and there is no shortage of water sources, and it is as warm as spring. They can take a break from this paradise for a while and take the opportunity to train their troops. After the winter passed in February or even early March, everyone outside thought that the Taiping army had died out in the Bayan Mountains, and then suddenly killed from the Bayan Mountains with the most perfect posture, and unexpectedly captured Yuyang, plotting against the whole Songjiang County!

"And that's not all."

Chen Wu said confidently: "The arrangement of the trouble we left behind will also take some time to ferment. One or two months, just enough time for the Wudou Midao incident to occur, and then the situation in the southwest of the empire is eroded! ”

At that time, the Taiping army will be able to attack Songjiang unscrupulously.

In the past, there was a Taiping uprising after the battle with the northwest of the Watts, and now it is busy dealing with Wudou Midao, and it is impossible for the empire to have more energy to quell the rebellion on both fronts. What's more, if his expectations are good, after the beginning of spring, the two foreign enemies of the Lena Dynasty and the Kingdom of Oman will also be unwilling to be lonely and take advantage of the situation.

This time is perfect!

"Seconded!"

"I'm afraid General Tiangong has already thought about it when Wu'an City decided to go east, right?"

"The general's decision-making is wise, and he admires the bravery."

As the generals expressed their approval one after another, the resolution quickly spread. Knowing that the Taiping army would be temporarily stationed in this valley, all the soldiers cheered. took out twelve points of motivation, cleaned up and set up camp, and at the same time excitedly discussed the rare wonders of a lifetime. Invisibly, Chen Wu's prestige has risen to a higher level in the army.

The amount of complaints and doubts that were previously doubled is now doubled.

………

Just when the Taiping army marching east was preparing to enjoy the warm winter, the city guards who had quelled the rebellion for thousands of miles had already pursued it to Daba Village.

After coming out of Wu'an City, they immediately sent out reconnaissance and detective sentry posts, and at the same time went straight to Gaoning County, which was most likely to be attacked first. As a result, Gaoning County was safe and sound, and instead of being attacked, it was reported that the thieves might have rushed to Hanjing County. The helpless city guards didn't have time to rest, so they turned non-stop and marched towards Hanjing.

Halfway through, they learned the news again, and Hanjing County was not attacked.

The thieves crossed Hanjing County and went all the way east into Bayan Mountain!

By this time, the generals of the city guards finally understood what the Taiping army wanted to do. In order to prevent the other party from hiding in the mountains and forests, the city guards did not care about running around and tired, and went all the way to the easternmost Daba Village!

With such a continuous and non-stop high-intensity march, even if the city guards are a strong army in the sky, their body is already close to the extreme. As a result, they received disappointing news from the villagers of Daba Village, and almost ten days ago, the thieves had entered the mountain through Guò Daba Village.

No general would be stupid enough to follow him into Bayan Mountain to chase and kill.

In desperation, the generals of the city guard army could only send people back to Wu'an to report the news, and at the same time ordered the army to be stationed on the spot, and made up their minds to seal the Taiping army in the mountains!
