It seems that some extremely important materials, such as spirit stones, are usually transported by birds or even flying boats.

But in a war of great scale, it is impossible to use flying boats and birds to transport everything. Even ordnance would not cost so much to transport, unless the front line was in desperate short supply.

Some of the more common, such as soldiers' rations, were usually escorted by baggage teams. The baggage team may be strong or weak, depending on the size.

If there is not much baggage, it is transported by the people, and it is common for some ordinary soldiers to escort it. Just like Da Zhou, that's it.

Food, such a consumable thing, is extremely expensive, if it is transported by flying boat, it seems that the amount of transportation at one time is very large, but in fact it cannot supply the army for a long time.

In this way, it is better to use the resources used to transport food in other more important places. This kind of thing that can be done by the people can naturally be done by the people.

It is also very important for the Duke of E to know what the information they got from Su Mu was transported. If it is such an extremely crucial thing as a spirit stone, it will be wonderful.

In the war, the spirit stone plays an extremely critical role in the layout of the camp or the play of the battle formation on the battlefield.

If they can rob a spirit stone convoy in Snow Country. Then the army that the other party transports must have greatly reduced its combat power.

The Duke of Eguo can completely plan the layout and directly attack his camp. But it's not. Mo Qianhe said: "The transportation is food and ordnance. Although it was not as good as he imagined, as a veteran general who had experienced a hundred battles, he knew that it was almost impossible to find the other party's troops transporting spirit stones.

Ordnance food is also very important. If the soldiers of an army are undersupplied, their combat effectiveness will also be greatly reduced.

It's like two ordinary soldiers. One has not been armoured, and the other has armor. Even if the former has a knife, it may not be able to cut through the latter, and even if it cuts through the latter, it is difficult to be fatal.

And the latter can take the other party's life with just one knife. I can make many mistakes, but you only need one mistake...

"How's the scale?" E Guogong asked again. Mo Qianhe said calmly: "It's not much, there are only more than 100 soldiers escorted, but we haven't had time to know how these more than 100 people are formed, so we committed suicide with a secret method." ”

"It's hard to say," E Guogong frowned and said: "If more than 100 people are ordinary soldiers, there must not be much food, and ordnance should not be too important, but if these more than 100 people are refining gods, it will be completely different, do you know which army they are transporting to?" ”

"I don't know which army it is," Mo Qianhe said, "but I know that they are going to Jiufeng Gorge." ”

"What? Jiufeng Gorge?! E Guogong's face was suddenly shocked,

"Is it really Jiufeng Gorge?"

"Guogong, this place is very important?" Su Mu guessed.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape," Eguo Gong gradually calmed down, and said: "You naturally don't know when you first arrive, some time ago, when I was returning to the court with Lu Guogong, the army was negligent and was raided by the Snow Country army, and Jiufeng Gorge, which was originally controlled by our army, was occupied by the enemy,"

"This place can be attacked, retreated can be defended, and only by controlling this place, can our Western Front army be able to move to the direction of Qiye Lake and the Snow Country for a decisive battle, and now this place is in the hands of the enemy, and the leading power of attack and defense is in their hands, and we can't help but be on guard." Mo Qian and the three of them didn't know much about the north.

Although the importance of this Jiufeng Gorge can be known from the words of the Duke of Eguo alone, it is still not intuitively understood.

The Duke of Eguo took the three of them to the sand table and said: "This place is Jiufeng Gorge, the snow country has now completed the deployment on Jiufeng Gorge, and the mountain range has become a trend, before you came, our army has attacked several times, but it is not ideal. Su Mu looked at it.

This Jiufeng Gorge is as its name suggests. There are nine tall peaks on both sides of the canyon, and the mountain range is quite steep.

What's more. This place is like a choke point for the western route of the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty into the snow field. In the same way, for Snow Country, this is also the throat point for them to drive straight into the northern border of the Great Zhou.

In short, whoever occupies this narrow mountain corridor will be able to seize the initiative. Because the garrison is here.

A partial division can hold back a large army. On the other hand, it had to be difficult to attack, and in order to prevent the opponent's army from suddenly killing out of it, the Western Front also needed to deploy a large number of troops.

Eguo said: "Your Majesty's words, this war, we must find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible, and we can't delay it for a long time, but now I am being dragged here." ”

"Then the princes, if they cut off their supplies and ordnance, will they be able to seize this place?" Mo Qianhe asked.

Eguo said: "Although this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the pressure of logistics to defend is also quite heavy, the lack of water in the mountains, and the transportation of powerful ordnance after damage must be difficult, if our army can inflict heavy damage on them once, and then cut off their supplies, they will be able to overcome it." ”

"Guogong, it is not my forte to attack the city and pull out the village, but we are still good at this kind of long-term drive and cutting off the back road," Mo Qianhe took the initiative to ask, and Zhengse said: "Since Jiufeng Gorge has to be taken, I am willing to lead the disciples of Shushan to destroy this transportation line." ”

"Don't worry," Eguo Gong looked at her with relief and said, "The configuration of the army escorted by the other party is not clear, it is too dangerous for you to rush forward, and besides, I don't know what the night feather soldier appeared in Shilin County for,"

"And how can we be sure that this so-called transport line was not deliberately exposed to us?" Hear this.

Tan Rusu frowned and said: "If they deliberately lay out and use a Night Feather Clan powerhouse from the Cave Void Realm to lay out, wouldn't it be a loss?" And how did they know that we would go to Shilin County, and our route did not need to pass through Shilin County. ”

"Miss Tan, don't worry, I'm not sure that there is a conspiracy among them, it's just a soldier, a major event of the country, and a place of death and life, I can't ignore it and take precautions." Eguo said fairly: "As for the survival of a cave realm, if it can determine the outcome of a big battle, in fact, whether it is Snow Country or Great Zhou, don't say one, it is ten, and there will be people who will volunteer." ”

"Guogong considered that it was, when we first came to the army, we didn't think it through," Mo Qian said with his fist.

"It is common sense that when you are alone in your daily life, your consideration will not be so comprehensive." E Guogong said solemnly: "I will send the Nightless Bird to spy on you, you all the way, rest for a day first, and then I will make arrangements." Su Mu and the three of them also said goodbye and left.

But they didn't have to wait long. The next day, after the Duke of Eguo attacked Jiufeng Gorge again.

The Duke of Eguo, who came back, summoned several major leaders of the three factions of Shushan, Qionghua, and Panshan. He did not completely hand over this task to Shushan, but to the three sects.

However, he designated the person who commanded the troops, with Mo Qianhe as the main and Su Mu as the deputy. Qionghua's Ning'an and Panshan's evening breeze are from the side.

E Guogong did not tell Su Mu the reason for their sudden decision. Anyway, on the same day, they led the team on the march.
