Su Jing patted the smoke cloud beast under his crotch, this is from the royal family, this kind of mount, is not afraid of continuous marching. But the price of the Smoke Cloud Beast, I asked Princess Worry-free, every Smoke Cloud Beast, just to buy, is more than sixty times the price of the war horse in his army.

Moreover, the breeding of the smoky cloud beast is to eat a separate feed, about once every four or five days. Every time you eat, the consumption is amazing. The cost of raising a smoky cloud beast is also dozens of times that of these excellent war horses.

The emperor can afford to raise the Smoke Cloud Beast, that is because of the support of the plane, otherwise, raising this thing in large quantities cannot be said to shake the foundation of the empire, and it is also a black hole that absorbs gold.

It seems that the idea of floating the troop carrier itself is correct. The only question is how to solve the problem of the transfer of troops after the floating troop carrier is shot down.

Su Jing wants to go out of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, and the target is Hulukou in the northwest of Yizhou.

From there, after walking for two more days, you can reach the place where the sect of the Xinyi Sect is located. Along the way, Jun Wuxian took the initiative to live in a tent with Inujuro every day to accept psychological challenges. Su Jing was happy to be with Su Mu and practice the Pure Yang Cave Immortal Sutra. In the past ten days, the abnormality in Su Mu's body has been suppressed.

Su Jing knew in his heart that this was not Su Mu's intention, but in Fu Demon City, Su Mu had gained too many benefits and couldn't digest them for a while. If it's a human, you can still figure it slowly. But Su Mu is a half-demon, and the bloodline of the demon clan wants to take the opportunity to awaken.

Hulukou is a pass, with 12,000 Su garrisons. This army of 12,000 people is to deter all sects of Buddhism. The Buddha Gate was forced to the permafrost in the harsh environment, and even if they were extremely afraid of the Daomen, the Su family had to guard against it.

When Su Jing and the others arrived at Hulukou, they had already sent a small team of scouts to the pass to report. When Su Jing arrived, Su Mu came forward to look at the token. These two hundred people were put into the small town of Hulukou.

The mouth of the gourd is not big, but in the north of the city, there is a large market. People inside and outside the Great Wall of Ice and Snow are trading here. The market is a horizontal street, more than 240 zhang long, and there are three-story buildings on both sides. Every once in a while, there is a tall tower, nine stories up and down.

After this street, there is also a small square, and in the cold wind, there are also people setting up stalls.

Su Jing was curious and asked Inujuro to ask. It turned out that the Su family did not prohibit people from entering the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, in fact, within a hundred miles outside the Great Wall, every village or tribe. They are all registered in the Su family, although they are not subjects of the empire, they are under the jurisdiction of the Su family.

Among the thirteen states of the empire, Yizhou is considered a vast and sparsely populated area. If it weren't for the presence of Fu Demon City, the northern part of Yizhou would be quite desolate. Even so, people outside the Great Wall of Ice and Snow want to enter into survival. But there is the Great Wall in the way, and no one dares to mess around. Without the permission of the Su family. Even if you enter, you will be killed.

Although the Su family lacks population. There is no hurry to pull these poor people in the wasteland into the Great Wall, because these people are tens of generations up, and they are all enemies of the Empire. As the winner, the Su family can forget the bloody battle back then. But the loser will definitely remember the hatred and want to take everything from the Su family.

The only problem. It's that they're too weak. Outside the empire, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is thin, and it is not suitable for cultivation. The same qualifications, if a person is within the territory of the empire can build a foundation, to the outside borders. I'm afraid it's hard to stabilize the congenital period.

The small plain outside the mouth of the gourd is inhabited by too many people, because the vitality of heaven and earth here is quite strong, they live here, they can still practice, and their strength improves fast enough, and the pressure to survive is much less. The Su family co-opted these people, and saved a lot of troops.

All tribes who want to enter this area will be ostracized and driven away by the natives of the plains.

The Su family provided these people with winter food, and these people hunted prey in the wasteland in exchange. There are also some herbs in the wasteland, all of which are unique varieties of the tundra, and the Su family will also buy them.

This small plain, which has no name on the map of the empire, is known to the local aborigines as Sunset Ruins.

Su Jing saw that the people who came to Hulukou from the Sunset Ruins to trade were dressed quite shabby, only the leather armor that covered the upper body, there was no protection on both arms, the gray homespun cloth was wrapped in cotton, the gloves on the hands were sewn from rough animal skins, and there were dense animal hair on the back of the hands.

The north of Yizhou can be said to be the worst area in terms of living conditions, and it cannot be compared with the border passes of the Northern Regions. Because outside of Yizhou, it is the place where Buddhism fled back then, and there are also high-ranking monks in Buddhism, setting up formations, and gathering the vitality of heaven and earth. As a result, in areas outside the Buddhist Gate, the vitality of heaven and earth is even more scarce.

Because it is Su Jian's army, and Su Jian is the elder of Su Jia's family, two hundred people can be stationed in the city and borrow the military camp in the city. Su Mu ordered the team to rest for a day and a half before leaving the customs, she and Su Jing did not live in the barracks, but met the supreme commander of this gourd mouth, a foundation building peak realm qi refiner of the Su family.

Su Mu and Su Jing were arranged in a six-story stone tower and lived on the top floor. The Su family qi refiner came to see Su Mu on the fifth floor, and sat down after the ceremony. This person's name is Su Determination, a member of the Second Elder's Branch. After telling Su Mu about the situation of the gourd, he asked Su Mu what he wanted.

He already knew that Su Mu was out of the customs, and it was me who accepted the Xinyi Sect. Seeing that there were no Jindan powerhouses in Su Jing's team, he wanted to send more soldiers to follow him in case of accidents.

Su Mu thanked Su for his determination and said, "I only need two guides, those who are familiar with the terrain near the Heart Sect, and I also need a map." ”

Su resolutely said, "This is easy. ”

He instructed the disciples behind him to do it, and asked Su Mu if he needed supplies. Su Mu calculated, he didn't insist on camping in the wild along the way, the food carried in the back box of the chariot was enough, there was snow everywhere, and when it dissolved, it would be clean water. Experimenting with the weapon attributes of the chariot all the way, the weapon consumption is quite large, but there are enough supplements in the Su Jing bracelet.

With Su Jing here, it seems that supplies have become less important.

However, she still told Su about the weapons she needed according to her needs. Mainly arrows, but also to replenish some damaged tents. It wasn't without monster attacks along the way, they all happened in the second half of the night. There were no casualties, and there were a lot of damaged things.

It's easy to do in the south, but in the north, you need to keep warm, and it's not okay to leak wind everywhere.

While he was talking, a soldier ran in. was scolded by Su Determination, how can he be so unruly!

The pro-soldier hurriedly saluted, and said, "General, it's not good, there's something wrong with the gourd mouth." ”

"What's going on?" Sue was determined to calm down the anomaly, and the tribes outside the country were making trouble. It's not been a day or two. Basically, the Su family only needs to dispatch a team of two hundred people to solve it.

"Thousands of cavalry slaughtered into the Sunset Ruins, destroying three villages in a row. Airships have been sent over, and the footage that has been transmitted back shows that at least a thousand people have been killed, and there is blood on the ground. ”

"Where's the airship?"

"Shot down, blown up. The soldier replied. The airship is only for reconnaissance purposes, once it is shot down. The Dao equipment on it cannot be given to the enemy, it will self-destruct. This thing is unmanned, not fast, flying slowly at high altitude, it is originally a standing thing of the Empire, but it is just an intelligence supplement.

Su was determined to frown, the Imperial airship flew at a height of a thousand feet and could be shot down. It shows that among the enemies, there is at least the existence of the foundation building period realm.

There is no Jindan. In front of his army of 12,000 people, he is all scum, but if there is a hidden golden pill, he can't divide his troops to attack. Once the small number of troops sent out are destroyed, the losses cannot be afforded.

"What's the reaction of the people on the Sunset Ruins?" asked Sue Resolutely.

"Many people rushed to Hulukou, trying to flee into the city. ”

Sue was determined to be silent for a moment. Said to Su Mu: "Elder, what do you say you should do?"

Su Mu asked rhetorically: "What is on the sunset ruins, but are the people of the empire?"

"It's not. ”

"But the Su family's bloodline?"

"Not really. ”

"Their existence in Sunset Ruins, what is the significance of the Su family?" Su Mu asked three times in a row. Sue, who asked, was determined to be ashamed. What are you hesitating about, the people of the Sunset Ruins were originally placed there as a buffer. No matter who the enemy is, since they are here, if the people of Sunset Ruins don't even want to resist and blindly want to rely on the Su family for protection, then what is the point of their existence?

Thinking of this, Su decided to order: "Retreat, pass on my military orders, all soldiers, take place immediately." Have the Ordnance Division replenish the arrows immediately, Elder......

Su Mu glanced at Su Mu, and Su Mu said, "It's okay, my people need to rest, but my brother and I can go up to the city to see what happened." ”

Su was determined to be overjoyed, and Su Mu had no intention of staying out of the matter. She brought two hundred soldiers from the Innate Stage, and if she defended the city, it would be too useful. Now his eyes are black, and he doesn't know what happened on the sunset ruins. The soldiers here are not lax in their armament, and they train every day, but they haven't seen blood for a long time.

With foreign aid, even if it is 200 people, they are more steady.

Su Jing asked Ying Yang and Inujuro to call Jun Wuxie, and ordered everyone to rest in the barracks and not to move. Sleep for at least three hours, and wait for orders to do whatever happens during this time.

Su Zhi brought more than 20 personal soldiers and hurriedly came to the city, naturally someone commanded the defense, he was the supreme commander of this gourd, and if a few orders were issued, there was no need to carry them out in person.

The wall of Hulukou is a trapezoidal structure with inward depression, flanked by towering mountain peaks, which just block the narrow mountain pass. To the south is a hilly area, to the north is the sunset ruins, and you can see dozens of miles away from the city.

The Great Wall of Ice and Snow does not garrison troops, but only uses Taoism to change the terrain and define the boundaries of Yizhou. Therefore, if the enemy wants to take Hulukou, he can bypass the peaks on both sides, walk an additional 200 miles, and send troops to the rear to flank the attack.

Su Jing opened his mouth and asked Na Su Determination: "Where is the closest support location to this gourd mouth?"

"Six hundred miles away, suddenly the city. But there are no Jindan powerhouses there, there are more than 10,000 members of the empire's miscellaneous army, and more than 8,000 troops of the Su family. ”

Su Mu nodded and said, "Send someone to call for support, how far is Tianhe Mansion from here, I asked about the length of the road." ”

"That's more than 1,400 miles. ”

"I'll send a letter to Fu Demon City to see if I want to call the army of Tianhe Mansion. How's the armament of Sudden City?"

"The soldiers are similar to me here, but they are more armoured. ”

"If you transfer it, will the enemy break through from Sudden City?"

"No, it was originally just a support point, and it was also a transit point to contact Tianhe Mansion. Suddenly, the north of the city was a mountain range, which was difficult for the army to climb. ”

As he spoke, in the sky, a small airship flew towards the city and landed on the city wall. At the bottom of the airship, a spear was inserted, the color of which was snow-white. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
