Chapter 588

September fifteenth. Wu Kai's troops followed the mixed army with 20,000 people, and went out of the bamboo road to Wuhu Lake.

"here."

What catches the eye is an endless army village, and there are people and horses everywhere. Those who transport luggage, those who have newly arrived here to supply supplies like Wu Kai, and those who build military camps

Although Wu Kai knew that Wuhu Lake was a fixed supply point for slave caravans in the barbarian area long ago, and he built some houses and warehouses, which was considered a foundation, but he never thought that it would become the fortress in front of him now. appearance.

It is unclear how many soldiers there are in Wuhu Lake. The gate of the military village has not been opened to Wu Kai's troops. The 20,000 people just replaced a cart of luggage outside this huge military village, and then waited for the ten people who put the meals together. After receiving a hot patty outside a few tents, we continued on our way.

Wuhu Lake is not the scheduled rest point, but an unnamed rocky beach fifty miles east of Wuhu Lake.

When the sky was getting dark, Wu Kai followed the army and saw the resting point marked on the map.

"Pass down the order, let the brothers cheer up. Tonight is our defense zone in the north. When camping, it should be more prominent, and the guard will be turned every three hours." Two battalions of soldiers under his command were on night watch.

It is not that the two battalions cannot rest at all. It is enough to send more than 500 people to form a night watch shift in batches. They will be rotated in three batches, and the rest will sleep in their clothes.

In the middle of the night, there was the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and he gave the password and checked the waist badge. It was the military order of the mixed army.

"Pianist Wu Kai takes the order!"

After Wu Kai checked it, he took the order note, and after unfolding it, he frowned. The simple words in the order are shocking, and the camp is ordered to be pulled out at the beginning of tomorrow, and it is clearly stated on it that the army will march at full speed.

What is "full speed march"? It is to leave half of the luggage, put all the soldiers on the carriage, and the soldiers trot lightly, and stop all the running-in training along the way.

In addition, set off at the beginning of Mao?

Although there were no other words in the order, there was a sense of eagerness between the lines.

Has the situation on the front line reached this point?

At the beginning of Mao the next day, Wu Kai pulled out the camp on time, and the surrounding horns sounded up and down. The mixed army of 20,000 people marched in unison. Half of the luggage that had been fully supplied in Wuhu before was left behind at this time, neatly covered with tarpaulins and waited for the follow-up auxiliary soldiers to pick it up. All heavy weapons such as spears were put on the carriage, and the soldiers marched forward at a trot.

Everyone can feel that the atmosphere in the army is becoming more and more chilling

Tanshi, the official residence of the chief inspector. Shen Hao was holding the new information from the Kondo Pass with a stern expression on his face.

There are two pieces of information. One of them was sent back by the Blackwater spies who infiltrated the car dealership. The second is that the inspectors who went out with the army to the south transferred back through the thousand-mile note. The two reports are actually saying the same thing.

The southern front is tight!

The information obtained by the Blackwater spies was sorted out and analyzed in four parts. Because the materials transported by the Kunduo Pass in recent days have gradually changed from food-based to medicinal materials, and at the same time, more wounded people have entered the pass than before. If it weren't for the tension on the front line, it would be impossible to deal with the wounded and the wound medicine in this way.

The news from the inspectors who followed the army to the south was more straightforward, saying that as the marching speed was raised again and again, the original January window was compressed by nearly 30%, and the soldiers did not even dare to fully load their luggage in order to hurry.

Although it has not yet been confirmed by the Taoist chief yamen, Shen Hao understands that the battle on the front line is absolutely not optimistic.

Looking at the topographic map of the barbarian area hanging on the wall, Shen Hao, who was originally a layman in military affairs, can barely say something useful: "It's too far away!"

yes! Too far. It would take nearly a month's journey for a single troop increase, not to mention the arrangement of supply stations along the way, and at the same time guard against the enemy's small infiltration and harassment. I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight.

"If there is a teleportation circle, everything will be easier, but why?" Shen Hao muttered to himself. In fact, he had this thought in his heart not once or twice, but this time he was stimulated by the facts reflected in the information, and he couldn't help thinking about it again.

Before Shen Hao was investigating the case, he had asked the formation masters in the arsenal of Qianhu about the teleportation formations. Since there are teleportation formations in all major cities, and even some military places have small transmission formations, why is it outside the pass? No? The answers I got at that time were vague, as if these formation masters didn't know why, they only knew that the structure of the teleportation formation belonged to the top secret of the country, how could ordinary people know.

It is said that the land of the barbarians is remote, and now the battle is obviously in a dilemma because of the problem of the front line. Why not use the teleportation circle to solve the problem of the remote front line? You don't need to know much, as long as three or five teleportation circles are enough on the front line from Kunduoguan to Jianchuan, even a small teleportation circle can greatly change the current situation.

Is it really because it is too difficult to set up a teleportation circle, and the secret is too high to be used in barbarian areas? This kind of reason is okay to deceive ordinary people, but for Shen Hao, such words sound like a strong "excuse".

Shen Hao kept this question in his heart and didn't ask it. The reason is very simple. Even a layman like him can think of things that the generals in the army can't think of? Those civil servants who always like to criticize can't think of it?

The only possible explanation is: there is no way to set up the teleportation circle in the barbarian area, or in other words, there is no way to set up it outside the Jingjiu Dynasty. This has led to the fact that the frontier army has to face the drag of the ultra-long front in the barbarian area.

But the question is what is the reason for restricting the teleportation circle from being set up in barbarian areas? Shen Hao felt that this should not be a purely technical problem.

"Maybe I can ask Mr. Jiang?" After thinking about it, Shen Hao finally decided to ask his teacher Jiang Cheng the question in his heart. It is estimated that Jiang Cheng is the most suitable person for this kind of problem.

In addition, he happened to report the situation on the side of the frontier army to see if there would be any assignments from above. Because if there are no new changes, according to the current situation, Zuo Yuliang is likely to move his troops south in the near future, moving his center of gravity from the Kundaliya Pass to the south, so that he can take the initiative to shorten the front line and ease the various forces on the front line. pressure.

And Shen Hao, as the chief officer of the Supervisory Envoy, would naturally go out with Zuo Yuliang's Chinese army and go south. The situation he will face will definitely be different then.

In the end, what made Shen Hao quite upset was that his cultivation had reached the limit of the eighth level of the Concentrating God Realm, and he didn't know if he could make another breakthrough before leaving the pass and going south. I wondered in my heart whether I should take advantage of these few days to work harder and try to add a new strength to myself before leaving the customs?

PS: There is another chapter to be posted in the afternoon. I'm a little uncomfortable, sorry for that.
