Chapter 186: Marching into the Primeval Forest

The people of Loulan in Qishan City began to welcome a new life after the sadness, and they faced life positively.

There is also a new issue in the court, that is, the area of Qishan is large, and Qishan City only has a corner of Ququ from the area of land, occupying a corner of the eastern edge of Qishan, and the south has passed through the entry of the Han army, so that the primeval forest reaches the entire southern part of Qishan in Chapter 186, covering the southern mountainous area of Qishan.

The direction of the primeval forest is north and south, through the battle with the Han army just now, it was a victory for a while, but it also paid a painful price, if the Han army attacked the city in a ferocious way, in the direction of the primeval forest, Qishan City may not be there, most of the people may be killed.

Lan Qi'er and the courtiers passed the court meeting and decided to send troops to test the primeval forest, and launched an attack on the primeval forest in Qishan, the direction of the impact was to the west, and there were two goals to the west.

On the one hand, it is to explore how many mysteries and beasts there are in the primeval forest, whether it occupies the entire west of Qishan, and what creatures and beasts are in the primeval forest.

On the other hand, if the primeval forest does not cover the entire west of Qishan, what is the situation in the west, whether there are other races living in it, how closed the mountain is, and whether it can be effectively used.

If there is really an accident, that is, there is a suitable place for Chinese people to live in the west of Qishan, and there is no race to live, and the closure is good, and the people of Loulan can use it secretly, and build a secret city in the future in case the people need it, which is a long-term layout.

If such a situation can be formed, then the entire Qishan will basically be included in the scope of Qishan City, and the entire Qishan will basically be the people of Loulan.

The discussion of the court has been recognized by all the ministers of Loulan, and the next is the general who leads the team, the general Soha is the main general of Qishan City (General Lan is now named in the court), it is not suitable, Tulong, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, is full-time, and it is naturally not suitable, now there are only the left and right flag generals.

The two generals naturally knew the situation, so they took the initiative to kneel on the ground and ask for their lives, although there was no obvious danger in exploring the primeval forest for a while, but the hidden danger was absolutely there, and no one could deny it, and I didn't know it.

The kneeling of the two generals, everyone knows that the left and right flag generals are for the country and the people, and they are not afraid of danger.

Lan Qi'er, as the empress, through the battle with the Han army, knew that the hearts of all the ministers above the current court had changed early, there were no factions, no hostility, and they were all dedicated to the country and the people.

The two generals have just fought, and now they have taken the initiative to ask for their lives, which shows the hearts of the ministers, and they realize that they have the support of so many good courtiers as the empress, which is really good!

Lan Qi'er heard that the two generals were willing to enter the primeval forest to explore it, and they were both fighting for it, so she thought that Qishan City should not have a foreign war for a while, and it was also dangerous to enter the primeval forest.

Lan Qi'er's mind has changed, that is, two generals can be sent to lead the team into it, and the army can also be increased, so she said: Since the two generals are willing to fight for the country and the people, then so be it, this time the primeval forest will be explored by the two generals together, and the army will be adjusted to two hundred people and two foreign affairs officials, one is for the sake of safety, and the other is to speed up the process, foreign affairs officials can solve the language problem, take the order, set off within three days, and the specific time will be freely customized by the two generals, The materials carried by the Ministry of State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration are fully supplied, cooperated, and no mistakes are allowed.

After the dispersal of the court, the generals of the left and right banners began to prepare, selected soldiers, and provided a list of materials to the Ministry of State-owned Assets, and everything was carried out step by step.

The sun rose and set, two days passed, and the generals of the left and right banners had considered the problems that could be considered comprehensively, so they set off with the troops and supplies, with a total of 200 personnel, including road-opening tools, self-defense weapons, ten days of food and grass, and two groups of strong crossbowmen were also recruited into the army to strengthen the prevention of accidents.

The left and right banner generals led more than 200 troops to march towards the primeval forest, and the material vehicles followed, and the primeval forest due west was different from the primeval forests in other directions, and it was the longest in a relatively straight line.

The soldiers entered the edge of the primeval forest, the left and right flag generals began to divide the labor in detail, the left flag general led fifty elite soldiers to carry out a tentative forward, of course, to ensure their own safety under the condition of the main situation, the speed of the test is limited, it has already been discussed by the two generals, that is, the straight-line distance between the two sides of the personnel as the benchmark, the straight-line distance of the two sides of the personnel can not exceed 500 meters, what to determine which?

The left and right flag generals thought about it before departure, and specially made two ropes, both of which are 500 meters long, for exchange use, the soldiers of the left flag general are to carry one end forward, and the distance is naturally unable to pull, which means that the test should stop, when stopping, send two soldiers at any time to observe and report it, if there is no problem, according to the progress of the follow-up soldiers, in the forward.

The soldiers are not only responsible for the safety of materials, but also clear the road, so that the soldiers have a relatively smooth road about four meters wide behind them from the beginning of the soldiers entering the primeval forest, such as when the soldiers suddenly encounter a situation that cannot be controlled, they can retreat as quickly as possible to ensure the safety of their lives, so the task of the right banner general and others is to be heavier, the amount of labor is larger, and the progress will be slower.

Every night comes, the soldiers in front of the sudden are to return to the rear team, because the overnight materials and food are in the back of the wrecker team, the concentration of the soldiers, is also conducive to setting a certain safety zone, to prevent the enemy, to prevent wild beasts, has reached the army can better rest in shifts.

Just entering the primeval forest is better for the soldiers, the road is relatively smooth, there are relatively few obstacles, there are no poisonous snakes and beasts, etc., and the travel speed is still faster.

After a day's progress, the situation in the deep forest is very different, that is, into the depths of the primeval forest, of course, it is not the center, not only the road is difficult, the obstacles have also increased, from time to time there is a small river flowing, the small river looms, of course, this is not a good phenomenon, the soil in the small river area is mostly muddy, which is now what people call the swamp.

The soldiers had to stop and study together how to deal with it, in order to take the relative straightness of the primeval forest road, try not to choose a detour, and if the bridge can be built, the bridge will be built temporarily, so that the directionality is easy to guarantee, it can be said that hard work and wisdom have to pay!

The team of the general of the left banner is even more cautious, walking and stopping, and the speed slows down with the difficulty of the road, and from time to time there are birds in front of them that are startled, and at the same time the birds are frightened, the soldiers naturally have to have a corresponding reaction, that is, to stop moving forward, observe the surrounding situation, and think that there is no situation, and then continue to move forward.

The primeval forest is really quite complete left and right flag generals and others, there are no tigers, lions and leopards and other large wild and ferocious animals in Qishan, the top of the food chain is the deep forest wolf and poisonous snakes and wild boars, small wild animals will still often appear in the eyes of everyone, such as hares, pheasants, wild ducks, monkeys, antelopes, foxes, squirrels and various birds and so on.

Animals did not pose a threat to the lives of the soldiers, but they greatly affected the speed of the test of the primeval forest, and the soldiers could not move forward if there was a little movement in the deep forest.

After two days of in-depth advance, the soldiers have entered the center of the primeval forest, the situation here can be described as gloomy, the deep forest ground is completely covered by the poles and leaves of tall trees, the sun is covered tightly, resulting in the air in the forest, to stay five or six meters above the ground, hovering with the breeze, all day long, from time to time there are animal chirps, it really makes everyone feel frightened, fortunately they are all soldiers, there are many personnel, there are mutual care, or passed!

In the central area of the primeval forest, with the soldiers' day of testing and trimming, the mood for the soldiers is much better, at least the sun can be seen at any time at noon, and the mood is good, and the marching speed will be faster.

Time can tell people, what you can do, what you can do, this day the left banner general's sudden soldiers are finally about to explore the primeval forest, dozens of soldiers are rushing forward, for a time the density of the deep forest has changed, the deep forest trees are becoming fewer, the trees are getting shorter, and the time point of the sun and the human body is prolonging, all realize that this should be the prelude to the primeval forest, laugh at each other from time to time, the vigilance with the left banner general's speech, began to strengthen, everyone knows that the primeval forest does not cover the entire west of QishanI don't know what the situation is outside the forest!

The Left Banner General immediately ordered the soldiers to return to the Right Banner General, reporting that the primeval forest road could not be repaired, the obstacles could not be cleared, the material vehicles could stop moving forward, and a primitive road out of the primeval forest must be left in case of accidents.

The general of the right banner ordered all the soldiers to stand by in place, rest in a state of combat readiness, and went to the general of the left banner and others with the soldiers who reported the news.
