August 16, Lan country, Yongshundu

Bai Ye squatted on the ground and wrote and calculated with branches for a long time, then he clapped his hands with satisfaction and stood up.

Surrounding him was a group of porters on Yongshun Ferry. Young and old all wore heavy supports, but they were all empty-handed.

Seeing that Xiao Ye nodded, they rubbed their hands together and asked excitedly, "Okay, okay?"

"Almost. Two and a half more turns!"

Someone in the distance responded.

Everyone dispersed slightly, staring at the dock trestle together, everyone's fists clenched.

The long wooden arm creaked and lifted slightly. More than a dozen sacks, bundled together, slowly rose from the cabin.

The porter at the other end of the boom listened to the command, lightly controlled the machine, and steadily unloaded thousands of pounds of grain bales onto the cart.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the palms of excitement rained down on Bai Ye's back. Kashiwa laughed and dodged at night.

He was pleased.

This lever boom was designed and manufactured by himself last year, which saved a lot of effort from the porters of Yongshun Ferry.

A few days ago, I sneaked away to go to the country of Wei, and the only place Bai Ye was allowed to go in his life was Yongshun. Because, there is also a little uncle to take care of here.

Yongshun is located in the Kannan Plain, where water and land transportation converge. Next to the Yongshun Military Post is the Yongshun City opened by the Jiang family here.

Not only is Kong Desheng his own person, but He Dacheng and Uncle He are also here.

Uncle Dacheng, who taught him to read and write at a young age, opened a dental shop in Yongshun City within a few years of leaving Fangyi.

Three water wheels a day continuously supply hot water from the old town of Yupu to the baths of Yongshun. Even the hot spring water can be exchanged for silver. In terms of making money, Uncle Dacheng is definitely a ruthless person.

Amber has always intended to let Uncle Dacheng cultivate and train him. In the past two years, Murakami's work in and out of the property, Bai Ye has been able to cooperate with the tooth shop and take charge of it alone. This time, the Jiang family caravan was brought to Yongshun to be delivered, and it was natural for him to handle it.

Although he almost got into a big disaster this time, not only was he not grounded, but he was able to go out of Fangyi again, and he also had to thank the eldest lady of the Jiang family.

Jiang Jinglan insisted on taking the caravan to the camp in Guannan, and she also said that she would also bring Bai Ye with her. The old steward Tao wore out his mouth, but the eldest lady didn't eat the oil and salt, so she played a scoundrel.

In fact, the little uncles also had the intention to let Bai Ye go to the camp.

After all, the Guannan camp has a strong barrier, and Bai Ye stays in the camp at night, which is more reassuring. So he pushed the boat along the river and entrusted Captain Bai to escort the caravan with him, first go to Yongshun for a stop, and then go directly back to the camp to resume his life.

The decision of the little uncle was mainly due to Bai Ye's own credit.

After slipping back to Fangyi from the Ul Kingdom, Bai Ye found that he had lost the spirit rhino core he was carrying. This frightened the little uncles, and Uncle Ba Hong left the village and sent the other half of the nucleus away.

Even so, the little uncles still didn't sleep well all night. If Fangyi is exposed, all the forbearance of those twenty years will be wasted.

An Luo Yong thought about it, and finally decided to send Xiao Ye to the safest place.

Everyone understands the truth, and naturally there is no objection. Their father and son are the only remaining bloodlines of the exiled royal family of the Holy Spirit Clan in the Western Continent, and so many people have been guarding them for almost twenty years. Fangyi is now at risk of being exposed, but Lingyuan can't move, so it's better for their father and son to separate.

Before Cheng Buxian went to the big array with a large bag of crystal nuclei in his pocket, he took Bai Ye to explain the escort to Bai Lingyu.

Although the two were of the same level, Bai Ye always felt that Cheng Bo was a little too polite to this young man. Of course, he didn't know what was going on here, so he kept his doubts in his heart.

Nothing was said all night. Before dawn the next day, the little uncles urged Bai Ye and Captain Bai to leave. The young lieutenant may not have slept well and looked a little upset, but he still silently took Bai Ye to set off early.

This is the result of a compromise between the lieutenant and the young uncles. He would rather be Bai Ye's bodyguard than go with the caravan.

Jiang Jinglan and him may be born to be in conflict, as long as they meet, the two will inevitably have a verbal contest. But the eldest lady is sharp and unreasonable, and the "little white" in her mouth will always lose in the end.

Bai Ye is really a little scared of this eldest lady. The two hit it off, then left the caravan and ran to Yongshun in advance to wait for the convoy.

Before he entered the gate of Yongshun City, the guys from Yaxing dragged him to the ferry. It is said that the boom was damaged by the ship three days ago and needs to be repaired urgently.

Bai Ye is happy to do this kind of work. The caravan was slow, and it was boring to wait.

It still took a lot of time to repair the boom. I guess the caravan is coming up. "Xiao Baibai", who was sitting next to the trestle, began to frown again.

Bai Ye was secretly funny.

This yellow-faced little chief looks capable and old, but he pitifully ran into the unreasonable eldest lady of the Jiang family, he is thin-skinned, and his mouth can't keep up, and he really feels uncomfortable looking at him.

Xiao Ye had the heart to enlighten him in the past, but the two hadn't spoken much in the past two days. Although he was hit by a meteor for the captain that day, he didn't seem to appreciate it very much. Of course, Bai Ye himself is even more difficult to mention.

He didn't know that for the arrogant and withdrawn Bai Lingyu, being willing to take him back to the Guannan camp with him was already a big face.

Bai Ye walked towards the lieutenant while rolling up his sleeves, and was thinking about what topic to find in his mind, when he suddenly stopped.

Bai Lingyu had a piece of dried meat from nowhere in his mouth, and he was squinting at the dock dozens of steps away.

Following his line of sight, a fat figure fell into view.

It's acquaintances.

Xue Jing.

This Lord Xue was standing on the dock, squinting with a shy stomach, staring at the cargo ship from Huzhou to unload.

There are still many people with him. The dignified middle-aged man at the head is the city of Yongshun City. Bai Ye has met a few times before, and his impression is quite extraordinary. But now, beside Xue Jing, he couldn't even stand up straight.

"This person is the history of the Supervision Department. People of the land phase. Why are you here?" Bai Ye was a little surprised, the Supervision Department was really like a fly, where there were heavy supplies, there were them.

"Yes. I've seen two sides in Fangyi. Bai Lingyu's two thick eyebrows shook quickly, "The hand is too long, it should be chopped." ”

Bai Ye pursed his lips secretly. The heart said that these young pro-soldier generals under the commander are different. This breath is bigger than the guards.

The awkward scene didn't last long. In the distance, a light carriage with a large number of teeth drove by. The groom in the car shouted: "Brother Xiaoye, get in the car quickly, something happened to Sanlindu, and the shopkeeper asked me to send you over to help." ”

Lan country, Yongshun official road

A long team was slowly moving on the official road not far from Yongshundu, and the team dragged and scattered for a long time.

The pack team was oddly composed.

At the front were dozens of stagecoaches, followed by healthy mules and donkeys, and twenty wagons of four oxen fell far from half a mile away.

In all directions, the patrol of the former enemy division guarded as if facing a great enemy.

Yongshun guarded Kong Desheng and Yi Chi led the horses side by side, walking at the front of the pack team. Xiao Yi stroked the yellow horse's mane with a smile. The dignified Yongshun Post Team has now been reduced to a horse gang.

After lunch, there was an urgent report from the former enemy division, saying that there was a mess in the transportation of the Haizhou soldiers' baggage.

The Haizhou cargo ship on the Xijiang River docked at the wrong wharf and unloaded the catapult at Sanlindu.

The draft of the unloaded ship is shallow, and the drop between it and the trestle is too large, and the cart cannot be loaded back into the ship. Sixty eight-oxen carts loaded with the components of the torch stone cart were crowded at the ferry, unable to advance or retreat, and reluctantly changed to the overland route, with the result that the heavy carts were haunted by a mile away, and the only wooden bridge on that side was crushed.

The former enemy division urgently dispatched the surrounding people to repair the bridge. However, in this way, the transportation of thermal oil was delayed.

This batch of carefully purified and prepared fire oil is the life of the Haizhou siege camp, and special care must be taken when transporting it to avoid bumps. The post guard had no choice, so he had to start his own family's idea.

The king of Hades took the people, and as soon as he arrived at the post station to unload the wood linoleum, he was coaxed by Kong Desheng and grabbed the tolerance.

The people and soldiers of Fangyi were improvised into a team. The stagecoach was not good at carrying heavy loads, so he could only carry two sealed wooden barrels, and the postmen had to follow on foot. The Fangyi caravan led by Hades was all mules, and they could carry two buckets, but the distance was slower. Seeing that it was already dark, there were still seven or eight miles away from the first tun.

From time to time, the post guard looked back at the long procession, and suddenly stopped.

I don't know when there is an extra team on the official road. Two columns of light cavalry, dressed in white and white horses, trotted to catch up with the pack caraver, and quickly overtook the other half of the road.

Yi Chi's eyes widened, staring at the light cavalry passing in front of him. They were dressed in light white leather armor, carrying torches and hanging only bows and arrows.

The white horses of one color walked in unison, and the sound of hooves was almost inaudible. Immediately, the knight's movements were as neat as a person's, and it was obvious that they had already had a tacit understanding with each other.

About two hundred light horsemen galloped silently, followed by a long queue of light carriages, easily keeping up with the speed of the cavalry.

Yi Chi stabbed Uncle Desheng and asked with envy: "This is the Yunzhou Archer?"

"Hmm. Yunzhou's. Baggage team. ”

Yi Chi is a person who understands horses. Looking at the posture of the soldiers controlling the two horses, he couldn't help but raise his big finger: "There are not so many good hands in our border guards, and there are not so many good horses." ”

The yellow horse beside him snorted slightly, and his head and neck shook impatiently.

Yi Chi hurriedly grabbed its mane, and asked while coaxing, "Uncle Desheng, what are they pulling in the car?"

"Arrows. ”

In the night, it was not easy to see clearly, the rear of the car hung an oil lamp, and a few oilcloths were delicately tied to the top of the car, covering the roof very tightly. Under the tarpaulin should be the arrows that need to be replenished when the Yunzhou archers fight.

Xiao Yi carefully recalled what Uncle Yama had said when he taught him archery: The tactics of Yunzhou archers consumed amazing arrows. After the horse team shoots and carries arrows, they line up and run back to the arrow cart on the battlefield to replenish the consumption, and the cycle repeats itself, always maintaining its combat effectiveness.

The riders and arrow-wielding guards on these double-wheeled carriages were the only heavily armored soldiers in the Yunzhou army. Archery should also be superb.

Kong Yishou looked into the distance. The Yunzhou baggage team turned to the right side of the road not far ahead.

"The third tun. ”

That side is indeed the direction of the third tun, and the goal of the mixed pack team is the first tun in the front.

"Uncle, shall we hurry up too?"

"Steady, not in a hurry. ”
