"Report to the general, three miles ahead is Daba Village!"

The horse team released from the outside reported back the previous news, combined with the map of Taiping County found from the Wu'an official mansion, so that the main force of the Taiping army eastward clearly knew its position at the moment.

Daba Village is the easternmost village in Hanjing County, and it is also the last foothold before entering the Bayan Mountains. For generations, the people here have made a living by hunting in the mountains, as well as doing some fur and mountain goods. Every year, a regular caravan comes here to trade with the people of Daba Village, taking away precious animal skins and mountain goods, and bringing some necessary materials for the villagers' lives.

It is also thanks to this blessing that although there is no official road to go on this road, the road surface is still quite flat reads();。

After this stretch of the road, the rebels have no better way to go, and their march will be greatly slowed down. Fortunately, this place was not far from the outskirts of the Bayan Mountains, and they could enter the range of the Bayan Mountains before the city guards pursued them anyway. This eastward march is already half successful!

"The army marches forward, and there is no need to stop."

Daba Village is too small to be meaningless to the current Taiping Army. Chen Wu thought about it and issued an order to continue the march, but he still sent a team of elite soldiers and brought a cart of grain to make a deal with Daba Village.

Grain for medicinal herbs!

The people of Daba Village go into the mountains to hunt all year round, and they have a lot of experience in how to heal the injuries of some poisonous insect bites, and they also have special medicinal materials and prescriptions in their hands. Although Chen Wu swept a lot in Wu'an and along the way, the reserves were still a little insufficient for an army of 10,000 people.

"This is Daba Village, what do you want to do!"

Able to go into the mountains to hunt all year round, and deal with fierce beasts such as tigers and even mountain leopards, the folk customs of Daba Village can be described as extremely strong, and there are more than ten good hunters. Replaced by other bandits and robbers, I am afraid that I will be beaten by the people of Daba Village before I get close. However, they were faced with an army they had never seen before.

Vast crowds of people and convoys, boundless!

Even the bravest people who dare to fight against hibernating black bears are extremely weak in the face of such an army. Because of this, no matter how violent the temper of the people in Daba Village is, no matter how fierce the people are, in the face of the rebel soldiers who came with a cart, they only dare to ask a few words verbally, but anyone can hear their fierce inwardness.

However, after listening to the words of the rebel soldiers, they immediately changed their attitudes and were overjoyed.

On weekdays, the caravans come here to receive the goods in advance, and they work together to keep the price extremely low. Often, the oil, salt and grain obtained from a year's hard work are not enough for the family to eat, so they are forced to venture into the mountains to hunt more prey. But the rebels have been extremely wealthy until now, and they are no longer embarrassed when they were in Changshan Town, so they generously gave several times the price.

For the villagers of Daba Village, the group of elite thieves in front of them is simply a lucky star falling from the sky.

Without saying a word, the villagers of more than 100 households in Daba Village gave almost all the medicinal materials they had stored to the righteous army. But these things, which seemed worthless to them, were enough to exchange for a cart of food.

This winter, it should be better!

In gratitude, some people inevitably asked about the movements of the Taiping army, and even volunteered to help them show the way. But to the disappointment of the people of Daba Village, their kindness was rejected by the Taiping army. The cart walked unswervingly in the direction of Bayan Mountain along the increasingly rugged road.

At the beginning of the six or seven miles, the situation was not bad.

Although the road is difficult to walk, large cars can barely pass. But as the army approached the mountains, the road into the mountains was full of gravel, potholes, and withered vines and weeds. Even if Chen Wu had deliberately picked the road, the team still struggled a lot.

Seeing this, he duly dispatched hundreds of volunteers from the engineering battalion and sent them to the front of the army to open the way for the convoy.

At this stage, the soldiers of the engineering battalion are only responsible for operating the stone throwing machine and bed crossbow, but at Chen Wu's request, they already have a little prototype of the engineering army before the crossing. With the shovels that were issued, the ordinary potholes were filled in as much as they could, and the soft and hollow roads were padded with sturdy wooden planks, and the convoy was recycled after all the potholes were cleared.

It is worth mentioning that the structure of this kind of big car equipped by the rebels is a bit like the "ground row car" before the crossing, which is simple and durable, and has low requirements for road conditions. Guardrails were added to the front and rear, and carts were pulled by livestock, which could carry a lot of things. Even on such poor terrain, after a simple paving treatment, it can barely pass.

Of course, the price was that the speed of the army's advance was slowed down, and from time to time there were large carts damaged.

For the broken car, the Taiping army has a plan for a long time. Immediately, the rebels rushed over and pushed the broken cart to the side of the road to prevent delays in the passage of the subsequent convoy, and the carpenters quickly rushed over to repair it.

Most of the problems can be fixed due to good preparation.

If it is too badly broken and there is really no way, then you can only give up the car and baggage materials.

This is undoubtedly wasteful, but there is nothing to be done.

After a full day and a half of exhaustion, the Taiping army only advanced seven or eight miles deep into the Bayan Mountains, still staying in the outer areas. And it is foreseeable that as you go further in, the mountain will begin to rise, and the terrain will become more and more impassable.

All the rebels began to wonder if there really was a road for convoys in such a mountain.

On the evening of the second day after entering the mountain, Dian Yong, who had listened to countless complaints, couldn't help but find Chen Wu and reported to him: "If it really can't work, let's abandon these burdens, advance lightly, and only bring the necessary grain that can support the army through the Bayan Mountain." ”

The richness of Songjiang County is well known, and there is also food.

As long as you can cross the Bayan Mountains to the east, you can hit a small city casually, and you won't have to worry about getting supplies!

However, Chen Wu knew the itinerary and was not worried, and asked rhetorically: "Why, it has only been less than two days and it can't hold on?" ”

"It's not that everyone can't hold on......" Dian Yong hesitated, and said bluntly: "But I think it's impossible!" As early as the founding of the Qianyuan Dynasty, Songjiang and Taiping two counties had tried to open up the road, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful. Many soldiers felt that even if there was a road for pedestrians, it was really ...... for such a convoy to get through guò unimaginable! ”

"It's unimaginable."

If it weren't unimaginable, wouldn't the movements of the rebels have been seen through a long time ago, and how could they hide from others?

Before the crossing, when the HSBC corridor was first exposed, the heated discussion and shock among the server players were no different from the Taiping Army.

"Even if I only walk three or five miles a day, I have to walk hard. Rest assured, the hardest part is not the middle of the mountain, but precisely the periphery of this section. Believe me, as long as you survive the first week, the road will be much easier! ”

Chen Wu gave Dian Yong a guarantee.

The HSBC Chamber of Commerce in the game can pass, and so can his baggage convoy!

As for why he didn't lose these grains and grass and grab them after he arrived in Songjiang, Chen Wu could only say that he had three thoughts in his heart.

First, when it comes to materials and food, the more the better; Second, Chen Wu is ready to operate Songjiang County as a better foundation than Wu'an, and he must take into account the people's reputation and not mess around like before; Moreover, although it is more difficult to carry these baggage and carts than to travel lightly, it is not without benefits!

After crossing the real world before traveling, after the Long March of the Red Dynasty, he trained a division of elite kings cast of steel. Although the difficulty and significance of crossing the Bayan Mountains are far from being comparable to 25,000 miles, the hardships and fatigue during this period are still a severe test for the will and body of the rebel soldiers.

With the previous siege of Wu'an, and then through this grinding across the Bayan Mountains, Chen Wu's Taiping army will suffer two high-intensity tempering. In the future, it will definitely be able to achieve an elite division!

The complaints of the soldiers of the Hand Rebellion not only did not shake Chen Wu, but strengthened his determination.

This is a strategic transfer and breakthrough, and it is also a tempering of the unopened blunt blade!

Before crossing, it is often said: the edge of the sword sharpens itself. The Taiping army of tens of thousands of people is the sword in Chen Wu's hand. Although it is still only a gray and rough sword embryo, sooner or later, its edge will break into the Floating Cloud Jedi, making the nobles of the family bow down!

………

Wu'an!

The 26,000-strong army was divided into four routes, and after sealing Wu'an, there was no siege for more than a day. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, and there was the second light rain since early summer, the people of the Good Friends Association invariably breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knows that this night should be spent safely.

Braving the rain and attacking the city overnight?

This kind of thing, the high-level of the Good Friends Association didn't even think about it!

However, in the midst of the icy raindrops, an undercurrent surged in Wu'an City. At the end of the day, the entire Wu'an City was silent in the light rain, and three arrows shot out from the two city gate towers in the northwest.

The poignant voice woke up many drowsy Buddhist soldiers of the Good Friends Association.

However, they reacted too late. In Wu'an City, as many as five people from the Good Friends Association rebelled together, including Lord Ixiang, who killed the original friendly army and seized the city gate.

Although the Good Friends resealed the city gate tower the day before the arrival of the city guards, it could not stop the rebellion. A team of hundreds of people stood in front of the city gate tower, frantically digging out the earth bags and boulders in the city gate hole.

At the same time, the remnants of the generals of the family who retreated to the Lin family also dispatched 300 people in one go, went straight to the West Gate, and dispersed all the Buddhist soldiers of the Good Friends Association who were preparing reinforcements along the way. The silent city of Wu'an was suddenly in chaos, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. When an hour later, the furious Wang Huifang and Xiang Hua finally figured out what was going on, and hurriedly rushed to reinforcements with the elite of the Dharma Protector Buddha, most of the city gate had already been opened.

There was also an integrated city guard wing, which had already responded to the rebels and the Lin family's generals in the city, carrying countless torches and climbing into the city gate in the dark.

There was no need for any disguise, and the city guards of the famous continent showed their military robes and armor painted in gold, and lined up in a stable line like a mountain, and stopped them in the cold night rain. No one said a word, but the aura of murder on his body spread invisibly. The accumulation of 300 years since the founding of the army has given them enough calmness and confidence no matter what enemy they face.

This is the City Guard!

You don't need to know how many opponents there are, and you don't need to care who your opponents are, their beliefs are only two words.

Come to war!

More city guards gathered outside Wu'an City, waiting for the moment when the city gate slowly opened.

The moment he saw them, Wang Huifang's fiercely beating heart stopped violently!

For the first time, before the battle had even begun, he had a premonition of the final outcome!
