Chapter 733 The Commander-in-Chief Goes on Tour

But things are different now. Today he is no longer alone. There are dozens of people behind him.

When the commander-in-chief goes on tour, he has to be grand.

There is no fog today, and the situation on the other side is clear. The river beach is empty, and only the shadows of people can be seen in the woods in the distance.

In fact, it is similar on our side. There are dangerous peaks, woodlands, river beaches, and dead grass.

Adjutant Chao Qian pointed to He Lingchuan and said, "The terrain on the west bank of our river is mainly low hills, unlike the dangerous peaks on the opposite side, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack."

Indeed, the river bank on our side is open, and the grass on the riverside is dense. Of course, it is covered with white snow in this season.

He Lingchuan wandered around and spent the longest time in the woods.

The forest covers an area of ​​more than ten hectares, and there are no high mountains overlooking nearby, which is a good hiding place.

The two attacks on the other side both entered the village from here.

Before leaving, Commander Xiao was hesitant whether to cut down all these trees.

The locals strongly opposed it. Except in winter, this lush forest can provide them with logging, hunting, digging wild vegetables, picking fruits and mushrooms, which is an important source of income.

He Lingchuan's idea is exactly the opposite of Commander Xiao: "The forest land should be preserved, and the large area of ​​water grass on the west side of the river beach should be cut down to ensure that the river surface and riverbed are visible at a glance, the grass and trees in the valley should be flattened, and two more watchtowers should be built on the back mountain."

This passage is bare from beginning to end. If someone comes and goes, they can see everything from a high place. Without the cover of grass and trees, it is not so easy for the enemy to disguise.

Then hang a few more fluorescent spores, and there is no need to worry about someone lurking in at night.

Chao Qian said: "This road is open and unobstructed. The Jin Yao people don't like it, so they will go through the woods."

There is no shelter on one side, and more than ten hectares of lush forest on the other side. The small group of harassing teams will definitely choose the latter with shelter, both instinctively and tactically.

"Isn't this just what we want?" He Lingchuan asked him, "Who was the original mountain and swamp here?"

"A group of wolf monsters. They also helped in the previous battles."

"Unloaded. I have asked Deputy Envoy Wen to appoint another one." He Lingchuan pointed back, and Chao Qian saw several carts put together to transport a big tree.

The tree was about six feet tall, which was not outstanding in this forest, but the bark was cracked and covered with blue and white spots, which was evidence that it was once covered with moss and ferns.

He Lingchuan knocked on the tree trunk, and it made a humming sound, more like metal than wood.

"Hey, isn't this the old elm tree monster at the city gate?" Chao Qian felt familiar, and slapped his head and remembered, "When we attacked Yuheng City, it helped the Xiqiao people deal with us."

"He who knows the times is a hero. On the day the city was broken, it surrendered to us, otherwise it would have been burned as firewood." He Lingchuan laughed, "Some people are not as discerning as this tree."

The soldiers stepped forward to dig a big pit to bury the roots of the old tree.

In winter, the ground was frozen hard and it was impossible to shovel. But these people were very wild. They first dug a small hole, buried the explosives, and then detonated them.

Buried again, and then detonated again.

After several mines were detonated in a row, a big hole three feet deep was done.

Everyone supported the tree and filled the soil. It was planted in a short while.

Some careful people shoveled snow and sprinkled it carefully.

In winter, there were no leaves, and this old tree was baring its teeth and claws. He Lingchuan patted the tree trunk. Hmm, it was quite solid.

He read the appointment on the spot, and then took out the official seal and stamped it on the tree. "From today on, you are the mountain and swamp of the Inn River Valley, with a jurisdiction of 100 miles."

The mountain wind whistled, condensing a strange sound. Everyone listened carefully, as if they could hear the words "yes, sir."

In just two or three days, all the trees in the jurisdiction could become its eyes and ears.

This is also one of the reasons why the Northern Monster Kingdom likes to appoint old tree monsters as mountain monsters. He Lingchuan thinks it makes sense and might as well learn from their advanced experience.

He Lingchuan then instructed: "Take four fresh branches every fifteen days and put them in the water bottle in the quiet room, divided into four directions: east, south, west and north. The branches in which direction move without wind are the enemies coming from that direction."

With this old tree monster, the enemy's invasion of the river forest will not escape the eyes and ears of the defenders.

"By the way, recruit another batch of bird monsters. Owls with night vision are the best. Human eyes are far inferior to them at night." There are these things everywhere in the Beijia Kingdom, which has caused great obstacles to his escape. "I remember there are several nests of bird monsters nearby?"

People can't stay on the cold river for a long time, but these wild monsters can.

Chao Qian wrote them down one by one.

In fact, Commander Xiao laid a good foundation for He Lingchuan, the successor. All military affairs in Yuheng City are proceeding in an orderly manner, and he hardly needs to make any changes. Especially the first batch of recruited soldiers have completed their initial training and can be put into the mission.

The problem is that after the army was reorganized, its combat effectiveness was not obvious and its number was insufficient.

There were only a little over a thousand soldiers, and they had to guard the border, defend the city, and patrol the trade route to the south, which was immediately stretched.

He Lingchuan had no good solution for this. You can't get fat in one breath, and a battle-hardened army can't be trained in one day.

Fortunately, General Hong quickly captured Yuheng City and seized the granary at the first time, so it was not set on fire by the Xiqi people. After another autumn harvest, the food supply was sufficient this winter, and the young men in the barracks could eat meat every two days.

Just for this kind of food, many people signed up to join the army.

He Lingchuan finished his military affairs and went home. On the way, he passed by the martial arts training hall and heard exclamations and roars from there.

The exclamations were from civilians.

He was very familiar with the roars, which were from Mengshan.

The martial arts competition tradition of Panlong City was also brought here by the Dafeng Army. The two sets of arenas were built yesterday, and today someone was eager to challenge them.

Among the twenty people that He Lingchuan asked General Hong for, there was Meng Shan.

When he walked over, he happened to see Meng Shan throw the unfortunate unknown guy over his shoulder, knocking him unconscious.

The onlookers covered their mouths, but He Lingchuan saw that the poor kid was still alive, his neck was not broken, and his internal injuries were not serious. He just lay on the ground and moaned for a long time and couldn't get up.

After joining the Dafeng Army, Meng Shan was not as violent as before, and began to understand the limits.

The other group of competitions on the ring were much milder.

The ring here also adopted a points system, and the winner could exchange for the equipment and supplies he liked at the arsenal - of course, there was also money. The soldiers and civilians of Yuheng City had never tried this kind of game before, and now they are actively signing up.

The street shops next to them were rushing to work. Standing on the busy street, He Lingchuan felt the feeling of entering Panlong City when he first entered it:

It was thriving and full of vitality.

When he returned home, it was getting dark.

He Lingchuan brushed off the snow powder on his head and just took off his cloak when he heard the sound of water splashing next door.

"Master Sun?" What is Master doing?

Sun Fuling's voice came through the wall: "Ah, come here!"

Go over now? He Lingchuan hesitated, jumped lightly, supported himself on the wall with his hands, and turned over with a somersault.

The wall here is much higher than the wooden house in Panlong City, but he has become accustomed to not going through the main door.
