The weather in this Rong City is like a steamer, and people who are hot can't hide, so they can only stand there and guard it alive.

Rong Chengxuan told them: "There is a frontier between the Western Zhou and Beichen, and although this frontier looks inconspicuous on the map, the frontier separates Beichen and the Western Zhou like a tropical barrier. ”

"When you first arrived, you may think that the heat of Cizhou and the frontier is acceptable, but once you enter the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, this heat is difficult to bear. The Western Zhou Dynasty, like the Western Regions, is located in the tropics, and it is still summer, so it will naturally be hotter than our Beichen, so the closer we are to the boundary of the Western Zhou now, the hotter the climate will be. ”

The word tropical region is still mentioned by Rong Chengxuan when he chatted with Yun Wanwan a few days ago, Yun Wanwan said that once he passed Shizhou, he was afraid that the climate would become hotter, and after it was completely hit in the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he was afraid that the soldiers of Beichen might not be able to adapt to the climate.

Obviously, Yun Wanwan's worries are correct, but fortunately, Rong Chengxuan has already had a way to deal with it because of Yun Wanwan's reminder, and he has found a few doctors with acceptable medical skills in the local area to be military doctors, and the most powerful of these doctors is obviously to see the symptoms of heat stroke.

Rong Chengxuan paused, and continued: "The reason why this king chose to attack Rongcheng overnight last night is to take advantage of the cool night, when you have not been attacked by the heat and have not been sick, we will take a city first, which is a deterrent for Western Zhou." At the same time, this is also a period of recuperation for our army, taking advantage of this time we have to quickly adapt to this climate, and when the time really enters the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, we will not fall down before the battle begins. ”

When Rong Chengxuan said this, people were not particularly convinced of this statement, although it was already too hot to stand it, but no matter how hot it was, it was impossible to reach the point where they could not go to the battlefield to fight.

But this thought did not last long, and by noon, a large number of soldiers had begun to have diarrhea, fever, heat stroke, and even some had fainted. This even includes Rong Chengxuan himself.

When Yun Wanwan told him, he didn't expect it to be so hot, and when he really realized it, Rong Chengxuan also collapsed. Fortunately, Rong Chengxuan's foresight made it possible for the army to be suppressed before the heat stroke disease completely broke out.

The military doctors were divided into two teams, one team was responsible for taking care of the soldiers who had already suffered from heat stroke, and the other team was responsible for boiling Chinese medicine to those soldiers who had not yet developed heat stroke.

The Western Zhou is adjacent to the Western Regions, but the Western Regions are deeper in the desert than the Western Zhou, and the Western Zhou is close to the desert, just by the edge, but this hot climate is enough for Beichen's army to eat a pot.

Because the Western Zhou Dynasty is a country established on the edge of the desert, this land is naturally incomparable to the Western Regions, but it is still much larger than others in the desert, there are a total of twenty cities, and the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty is in the southern part of the desert, behind the eighth city.

After Rong Chengxuan stayed in Rongcheng for half a month, he reorganized his team and took back the city captured by the Western Zhou Dynasty in one go, and even Rong Chengxuan took advantage of the good state of the soldiers to let them capture the first city of the Western Zhou Dynasty - Shaping City in one fell swoop.

The closest thing to the Western Zhou and Beichen is Shaping City, although it is on the edge, but once it reaches the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty, no matter where the city is, the city and the outside are surrounded by loess.

But because Shaping City is close to Beichen, most of the ground in the city is still paved with green bricks, these green bricks are obviously purchased from Beichen, just in order not to be windy, the city is full of loess flying all over the sky, and the people in the city can't go out at all, so they can only go out when the wind stops and the loess calms down.

It can be said that the desert people are very sensitive and accurate in the search for water sources, and they depend on these water sources to survive.

In order to protect the water source, almost all the cities and countries have moats in the city, and they are heavily guarded along the river. It can be said that water is the foundation of the livelihood of the inhabitants of the desert country, and negligence must not be overlooked.

Although the Western Zhou Dynasty was built on the edge of the desert, it was obviously a serious shortage of water, and it could not be defeated in the Western Regions, and even if it was fought, it was still in the desert, and there was still no big solution to the problem of water sources.

So in the end, the monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty had no choice but to set his sights on Beichen, which was in the Central Plains, not only in terms of vast land, but also in terms of materials. The most important thing is that Beichen is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, there are almost no generals in the court who can fight, and those frontier armies are like paper paste, and they will fall as soon as they are blown.

Thinking like this, the monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty set the goal of destroying the country in Beichen.

There is also a river in the first Shaping City that Rong Chengxuan attacked, which is the mother river of the people of Shaping. In fact, the people of Shaping did not have much aversion to Beichen's occupation of them.

In the past, when the Western Zhou Dynasty was a vassal state of Beichen, the trade between the two countries was very frequent, and there were always merchants from Beichen who came to Shaping City to buy their specialties, such as fruits and spices unique to the desert.

The merchants of the Western Zhou Dynasty would also go to Shizhou, Lanzhou, Cizhou and other places, and bring back Beichen's clothing from there, as well as the scarce vegetables, grains and other things in their desert.

Although their understanding of Beichen is just like this, this is enough to satisfy their longing for the interior of Beichen. They envy the people of Beichen and envy that they can live in such a beautiful place as soon as they are born.

Now Shaping City is also under the control of Beichen, which means that they are also the people of Beichen, and they are also qualified to step into the interior of Beichen that they dream of.

After Rong Chengxuan's army entered the city, it did not destroy the buildings, let alone persecute the people.

Except for the riots caused by the escape of the Western Zhou army and the city wall that Rong Chengxuan blew up when he entered the city, this city is almost the same as when Rong Chengxuan came.

Rong Chengxuan didn't let the Shenhuo Battalion let go of his hands to bomb when he attacked Shaping City, because he took care of the innocent people in Shaping City.

The Western Zhou Dynasty's attack on Beichen was not necessarily what they wanted, and Rong Chengxuan had a little understanding of the Western Zhou people in Shaping City along the way.
