Chapter 783: Walking the Ancient Horse Road
The Hundred Generals of Rebirth will figure 783, and the Hundred Generals of Rebirth will figure Chapter 783 of the ancient road of horses
The battle of Xiangyang City, with the falling sunset and gradually coming to an end, with the fall of the family forces in the city, the general trend in the city has been decided, but a group of rebels still ignited Xiangyang, so that Xiangyang at night still can't sleep peacefully.
Nanwu Lu family, Leng Zhuo was not idle, with the arrival of the two heads of the Wang and Qi families, a battle for Shanglin Mansion kicked off, but an urgent and oppressive atmosphere was in Nanwu, Hexi and the sky permeated.
In the grand strategy, in addition to these two directions, Panlong City in the south of Jiuchuan Province was also the most important part of the plan, and the flames of war were again ignited over Jialin Mansion soon after the arrival of the letter.
Ziyang County, the county west of Jialin Mansion, although it is a county of the empire, but in fact it is more autonomous, and even geographically, the surrounding mountains and rivers will also divide this remote county from the territory of the empire, it is difficult to integrate, this is the territory of the Li people, but now, it has also become the lair of Leng Zhuo's war general Shi Wansui.
The 100,000 mountains and rivers in the southwest of Chuzhou, majestic and beautiful, mountains and mountains, mountains and mountains, and in these 100,000 mountains and rivers, although it is inaccessible, but it is not uninhabited, there are various tribes of the Nanban living here, and the Li people of Ziyang are only a larger part, and they are also a part that is more in contact with the outside world.
In the 100,000 mountains, there are more than 100,000 tribes, thousands of tribes, and the stronger ones are Amba, Xiongzhuang, Qingqiang, Hao and other tribes, but these tribes are all in the mountains and have little contact with the outside world.
In the east of Ziyang, the only official road is to garrison heavy soldiers, blocking the only official road in and out. It is difficult for people from the outside to enter, and it is difficult for people to get out inside, which is also the advantage and disadvantage of Ziyang in the small basin of Ziyang.
The clouds and mist were blown away by the wind, but there was a crisp and pleasant bell in the mountains, which reverberated through the valley, giving people a kind of leisurely wandering soul in the empty valley, through the canopy of the giant trees in the mountain forest, under the golden broken sun. But there was a team of dwarf horses winding through the southbound mountains.
"How far are we from the mountain!" asked a young man in leather armor with a resolute face and a thin old man standing on top of a rock.
"It's not far, you can go out after crossing two more mountains, but this little road will take two days!" The old man jumped off the rock, but he was not at all unhappy because of old age, but walked like flying in this almost untouched mountain. Like stepping on flat ground.
The sand hero sighed, but he didn't say much, although it was only two mountains, but the sand hero who had walked in this mountain for a few days understood the road of Wangshan and running a dead horse, don't look at the close distance between the mountains and the mountains, and they are three or five miles apart, but they walk. It's not like that.
Since the official road outside Ziyang County has been closed. With the completion of the reorganization of the Panlong Legion, the war against Jialin Mansion has begun, and the Ziyang Li Army, which is an important part of the Panlong Legion, is still trapped in the Ziyang Basin.
Ziyang is remote, resources are scarce, and with the closure of official roads, the accumulated materials are constantly consumed, and they are simply unable to support the subsequent war, and among many materials. The most important thing is the armor and crossbow.
After all, the Southern Li tribe is a barbarian, although it is said to have returned to the empire, but there are still some controls here, such as swords and armor, although the Li people have accumulated for many years, there are still some weapons, but the armor is pitiful. Although the Li people are brave and capable of fighting, it is tantamount to suicide to attack the aristocratic rebels who occupy the geographical advantage and set up camps.
The task of Sha Yingying's trip is to escort this batch of ordnance into Ziyang and hand them over to General Shi. Help the soldiers and horses on this side to break the blockade. And from the flanks straight into Vientiane County.
The official road connecting Ziyang was closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, but this was not difficult for people, and in this group of mountains, there were still some people who lived by walking the mountain road to trade, and these people were called horse traders.
The horse-walking merchants of Jialin Mansion are not well-known, but no one can ignore these merchants who do not have much background power, because the business they do is a kind of miracle, in the mountains that are difficult for even people to walk, they open up one trade route after another, sell goods, and they earn high returns by conquering natural risks.
The mountains and rivers on the periphery of the Ziyang Basin are not wide, but they are also nine ridges and eighteen plates, it seems that there is no road, but in fact there is a mountain road connected here, but over the years, with the rule of officials, some of the bans on Ziyang County are in vain, although it is still very difficult to obtain ordnance, but as long as you are willing to take gold coins, you can still buy it, and this is cheaper than the way of the horse merchants, so gradually this mountain road is gradually abandoned.
Sha Yingying also took some effort, finally found an old horse, and spent a lot of words to persuade the old man to lead the way again, after all, although this mountain is not deep, but not everyone can walk, once lost, the result is unimaginable.
"This road, but not for many years, many places have changed!" "Zhangma is the soul of a caravan, and his status is not weaker than the boss of the caravan, because it doesn't matter if there is no boss, it is changed to another, but without Zhangma, this caravan is bound to be disbanded, and the old Zhangma has not taken this road for many years, but at this moment it is a little embarrassing.
"Old Zhangma, you said that when you took this road, you were in your early thirties, so calculated, this road, isn't it almost thirty or forty years that no one has walked?" Sha Yingying was also a little worried, although there were still two mountains left, but in the mountains, there was no end, maybe he got lost.
The old man smiled, but the folds on his face were stretched, and he said: " When my master and I last walked this road, it was indeed more than 30 years ago, but after this road there were still intermittent people, but the scale was far less than in the past, in my opinion, the last time there was a caravan on this road was only eight years, and in this mountain in addition to our horses, there are also road guards, although this road has not been walked for many years, but there will be someone to clean it up in a year or two, this is also the rule of this line, after all, no one knows when it will be used!"
"Oh!" Sha Hero nodded, it seems that these people are shrewd enough, don't they use it now, and the price of this trip is not expensive, but the price of one horse and twenty gold, in a line of five hundred horses, it will cost thirty thousand gold coins.
However, the sand heroes have not gained nothing in the past few days, this old horse is the most experienced horse in the horse business road, not after taking Ziyang, but also has a few passages to the farther mountain tribes, and sold the goods to the 100,000 mountains, and those tribes, in the ears of the sand heroes, there are many more curious, that inaccessible mountain, is there really so many tribal peoples.
The two-day scene, in a flash, although there are dangers along the way, but fortunately, the horses are all old people, novices are few, so this road only lost more than ten horses, this loss for the entire horse team, but the loss is slight, after all, this road has not been walked for many years, and the steepness of the mountain road is not those who have not walked can imagine.
Sha Hero looked at the mountain that was gradually thrown behind him, and he also had a little emotion, this mountain is indeed wonderful, just now he was still in the mountain, so that people could not see the way out, but if he went further, he was out of the scope of the mountain, no wonder there should be a horse in this horse caravan, because ordinary people enter the mountain, it is easy to be deceived by the mountain, confused, and finally trapped in the mountain, and even maybe, they are only a few miles away from the mountain pass.
Ziyang County is just a small city of 100,000 people, compared to other counties and counties in the empire, it is not famous, but in this Ziyang Basin, it is still the most prosperous place, and even some tribes in the surrounding mountains will go down the mountain to trade here in exchange for some necessities.
Sha Yingying's team is still dozens of miles away from Ziyang, and Hou Qiang, the deputy general of Shi Wansui, has already led a team of cavalry to greet him: "Haha, you can be regarded as arriving, since I received the news from Panlong City seven or eight days ago, my lord and I have been on the chessboard day and night, and we can be regarded as looking forward to you!"
"Haven't asked for the name of the adult yet?" Sha Yingying looked at Hou Qiang, but asked with a salute, although this Ziyang is the territory of the Fifth Division, but who knows the identity of this person, so Sha Yingying is still very vigilant.
"I'm the deputy commander of the new Fifth Division, Hou Qiang, do you still want to check the waist card!" Hou Qiang is a delicate character, and he can't see Sha Yingxing's thoughts.
"If you can!"
Hou Qiang took out the waist card and threw it over, and after Sha Yingying saw it, he hurriedly and respectfully handed the waist card back: "General Hou, how offended!"
"Hehe, you can be so cautious, yes, you are a hero of the sand, but you are young and promising, by the way, what are these weapons, the news from Panlong City is not written in full, but it is plain and people look forward to it!"
Sha Yingying looked at Hou Qiang's anxious appearance, but said: "This batch of ordnance has just been transported from Red Earth City, and it was sent here by the Liang Legion Commander before it was even opened, among them, there are 2,000 pairs of Weeping Blood Heavy Armor, 4,000 pairs of Light Armor, 5,000 Weeping Blood Knives, 10,000 battle spearheads, and 3,000 short javelins, 300 heavy axes, 200 heavy hammers, 1,000 Blood Pear Flower Bows, 500 crossbows, and 20,000 wolf tooth arrowheads!
"Haha, okay, you guys came in time, in recent days, we have recruited a lot of people, but we are suffering from the lack of armor, with these things, discipline that group of turtle grandchildren who block the road are all finished!"
Ziyang County, as this team arrived in the city, the city suddenly became lively, a large number of armor was removed from the horse and placed in the school field, and Shi Wansui, who was guarding the mansion of Ziyang County, listened to the report of the fast horse, but he couldn't sit still and stood up, and the king of Nanli on the side, the hereditary Nanli Bo of the empire was also Huo's got up: "Let's go, let's go and see!"
The 100 generals of rebirth will figure 783, and the 783rd chapter of the body of the 100 generals of rebirth will be updated!
