Chapter 339: Concentrate on Transporting Grain

At dawn, thousands of cooking smoke rose from the garrison of the Yangwei Legion in the north of Lanyan City, and the day of departure had finally arrived.

The city gate slowly opened, and columns of Templar troops wearing the armor of the Imperial Forest Army slowly rode out, although they were the troops responsible for escorting food and grass, but the Templars were all heavy cavalry, which was incomparable to the rest of the battalions.

Lin Muyu carried a shimmering pear flower gun, rode his horse slowly, and on the side, Qin Yan was dressed in a white robe, his eyes swept around, and he couldn't hide his excitement, this was Qin Yan's first real expedition, so he was naturally very excited.

"Big brother, will we win?" Qin Yan asked.

Of course, the Boxer was not as strong as it had been imagined. Lin Muyu replied with a smile.

"Why didn't the eldest brother let the Wind Commander and His Highness come to see us off?" Qin Yan asked a little blankly.

"It's the same with or without it. The convoy has arrived, and if it does, it will set off immediately, you should have been ahead of the army. Lin Muyu frowned, there is a saying that the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, but Min Yulin didn't seem to understand this truth, and actually didn't let the grain transport team set off first, so he had to wait until this day.

In the distance, a large cart full of grain and grass was slowly coming under the escort of the Linghuo Division, and a senior officer wearing a gold star galloped over, hugged his fists and said, "General Lin, the grain and grass have been prepared, do you want to set off immediately?"

"Well, how many cars are there?"

"One hundred and fifty carts of all sizes, and there are three hundred carts of grain and grass behind, but they are being prepared and have not yet been loaded, and the follow-up team will help us escort them. ”

"Let's go, then. Lin Muyu glanced at Shen Han, the temple silver star instructor on the side, this Shen Han is a 40-year-old martial artist, calm and capable, which is why Ge Yang chose Shen Han to serve as the commander of the temple camp.

Shen Han saw Lin Muyu's thoughts, hugged his fists and said: "Archdeacon, the last general will lead the five hundred Temple Battalion brothers to the rear of the convoy to press the formation, and the opening of the road in front will be handed over to the archdeacon." ”

Lin Muyu nodded happily: "That's hard Lord Shen Han..."

"You're welcome..."

Shen Han raised his spear and said loudly: "Brothers, follow me..."

Lin Muyu glanced at the east again, that was the direction of the Demon Suppression Pass, it seemed that Tang Xiaoxi couldn't come back in time, no matter what, she was not idle in the Demon Suppression Pass, on the one hand, she had to cultivate, and on the other hand, she had to deal with the relationship between the demon clan and the human race, maybe she was the busiest person in the entire empire.

On both sides, the captain holding the flag held high the battle flag, an imperial battle flag with a dark blue background and golden purple flowers, and the other two sides were written with the word "Min" on one side and the word "Lin" on the other, which was taken care of, Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and others slowly entered the forest avenue as the front team of the 100,000 troops of the entire Yangwei Legion, and the neighing of war horses was endless.

The baggage convoy was slow, so the Temple Camp couldn't go fast, so it had to follow slowly.

When the rising sun erupted, the sound of horses' hooves in the rear came suddenly, it was the Heavenly Cavalry Army under the command of Min Yulin, a full 10,000 Heavenly Cavalry Army galloped across the avenue on the side of the temple camp, the army was neat, and it was indeed a strong army.

At the end of the Heavenly Cavalry, a young general wearing the rank of captain of ten thousand horses galloped past with the reins, and the dark blue cloak behind him flew in the wind, suddenly, he stopped his horse, turned to look at Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and others, the corners of his mouth raised, but he didn't say a word, he turned around and chased after the Heavenly Cavalry.

"What kind of person is this?...... so arrogant" Lin Muyu frowned and said, this person's posture made Lin Muyu a little unhappy, but the gold leaf of the temple archdeacon he wore was only higher than his captain in terms of grade, and he was so arrogant.

Qin Yan said: "This person is the son of Weihou Min Yulin...... Min Zhan, the commander of the 10,000-day cavalry army, it is said that this kid is very fierce, and he is like a wolf in the northern snowy region, which makes the barbarians in the north frightened. But in my opinion, this kid's strength is just like that, and I can stab him off the horse with five spears at most......"

Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile: "Ah Yan, you think too simply, the battlefield is not as simple as a heads-up trial in the temple, remember to listen to my orders when you get to the battlefield, you must not be impulsive when I don't let you go to battle, and even if you go to battle, you must walk with the queue, don't go it alone, your life is precious..."

"Well, I know big brother, Ah Yan will listen to your orders. ”

"That's good. ”

The march was very boring, the Yangwei Legion did not walk fast, and it looked like it traveled seventy miles a day, and Lanyan City was nearly three thousand miles away from Lingdong Province, which also meant that the march alone would take at least a month, and it was boring on the way, so Lin Muyu had to run the dragon bone fragment again and again to cultivate the fighting spirit in his body, and at night, after burying the pot and making food, he would absorb the power of the stars in the sky to cultivate the star trick.

It's just a pity that after the Xingchen Jue broke through to the Second Heaven, he couldn't enter the Third Heaven Realm for a long time, as if the power of the stars that could be accumulated in his body had reached a limit.

However, Lin Muyu has patience, take her time, and cultivate the star trick secretly, for fear of letting others see it, after all, the appearance of countless stars around a person is really shocking.

......

Eight days passed in a blink of an eye, and the Yangwei Legion passed through the territory of Cangnan Province, and even Wugu City could be seen in the distance, but this city was no longer as prosperous as it was at the beginning.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The sound of horses' hooves came, and a herald galloped over, clasping his fists and saying: "General Lin, the provincial consul of Cangnan Province has sent someone to send a large amount of grain and grass, and the prince asks you to check it." ”

"Hmm. Lin Muyu said lightly: "Qin Yan, Shen Han, bring a few people with me." ”

"Yes..."

Follow the herald through the edge of the army, on one side of the lush forest is a large open space, at this time it is early summer, a large number of soldiers of the Heavenly Cavalry stopped herding horses, and at the same time took off their clothes and armor to enjoy the cool, this hot day also has to put on a heavy armor, it is indeed too bitter, and in the rear of the Heavenly Cavalry is a convoy full of grain and grass, each car is escorted by ten soldiers from Cangnan Province, and these soldiers are naturally dispatched by Lin Muyu.

I checked it, and there were a total of 1,000 cars, and I took them all.

At this time, a senior officer from afar rode over, Bai Xu Ran, a veteran over 60 years old, holding a war knife in his hand, and carrying a longbow behind him, and this veteran seemed to know Lin Muyu's appearance, and kindly stepped forward and hugged his fist and smiled: "Young general, the veteran is polite, we meet again..."

Lin Muyu looked at him in astonishment, and after careful identification, he suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It's General Xu Ying, you...... I don't even know why you're in the Legion......"

Xu Ying laughed: "This matter is a long story, let's talk about it while we go." ”

"Yes..."

The two walked side by side, Xu Ying was followed by dozens of archers, he looked at Lin Muyu with a smile, and said: "Three years ago, before the battle of Lanyan City, the veteran was sent to Dusk Rain City to serve, and later, thanks to General Min Yulin's refusal to give up, I was appointed as the commander of the Shenbow Battalion led by him, isn't this ...... It's been three years in the blink of an eye, and the veteran has also been the commander of the Divine Bow Battalion for three years, the battle of Lanyan City, alas, ......"

Lin Muyu said: "It's all over, it's all right." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xu Ying nodded heavily and said, "Fortunately, the young general is fine, it is simply the heavens that protect the empire, and the first emperor Qin Jin is protecting you..."

"yes. Lin Muyu smiled lightly, lowered his eyes and said: "Old General Xu, it's great to see you this time, but I am no longer a major general now, and I don't even have the rank of a captain, you see, I am just a Temple deacon, and the army I lead is also a Temple army......

Xu Ying smiled and said: "In the eyes of the veteran, you will always be a young general, by the way, the young general, how do you feel about taking on the important task of transporting grain for the first time?"

Lin Muyu said with a confident smile: "Don't worry, the daily ration per person weighs about two catties, and the 100,000 people of the Yangwei Legion have to eat two hundred carts of grain and grass every day, but we have made up for it one after another, and now there are nearly two thousand five hundred carts of grain and grass to follow, which is enough to eat for half a month." ”

"Then I'll be relieved. ”

Xu Ying squinted his eyes and said with a meaningful smile: "The young general is the righteous son of the emperor and the archdeacon of the temple, his identity is special, and the grain and grass are the top priority in the march, so don't make any mistakes." ”

"I know, thank you for the reminder. Lin Muyu clenched his fists lightly, in fact, he also knew in his heart that whether it was Min Yulin, Su Wentian, or Wang Xi, they were all waiting for him to make a mistake.

......

Be cautious in her words and deeds along the way, Lin Muyu went to Min Yulin's camp every three days to pay the order, but it was also safe.

Finally, 33 days later, he entered the territory of Lingdong Province.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that it actually snowed in the province in Lingdong, and it rained in early summer, so it was no wonder that the grain produced by this province was less than 10% of that of Lanyan City, so it would become such a barren land.

The official road has become blurred and almost disappeared, there is a field of weeds in front of them, Lin Muyu and Qin Yan rode their horses to the soil slope, looking into the distance, Lingdong Province is barren, like a huge basin, and this basin is really big enough, the territory is 2-3 times that of Lingbei Province.

Qin Yan looked at the weeds growing on the ramp, frowned and said, "Big brother, there is no road here, how can the convoy pass?"

"If there is no road, pave the way. ”

Lin Muyu said: "Send people to cut down trees, pave them on the ramps to build roads, don't let the wheels sink into the mud, otherwise it will be really troublesome." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, and the snowflakes fell on his cheeks, which was extremely cold, and the empire was about to recover the Lingdong Province, but this god didn't seem to help.

Qin Yan and Shen Han turned around and ordered the soldiers of the temple camp to cut down the trees on both sides, while Lin Muyu rode his horse to the middle army in front of him, hugged his fists from afar, and said, "Lin Muyu, the grain transport officer, see Weihou." ”

One of the guards nodded: "The prince is in the Chinese military formation, come here." ”

"Yes. ”
