Chapter 303: Sentinel
Everyone was silent, thinking that even though they were right, what was the use? In the end, it all depended on who had the stronger hands and feet, and whoever could beat the other was right!
Zuo Heng said sadly: "So, they were all driven back to Humu Pass?"
Yang Sui nodded and said, "Later, my third brother sent more than ten people across the border. The leader was a junior battalion officer from the Beikan Camp of the Beiding Army. His Force was close to the third realm, and he had also learned the two moves of the 'Dragon Spine Sword Style', Opening and Sealing the Dragon Spine. Unfortunately, he also ran into the red-haired ape, and the two sides started fighting again without saying a word..."
Seeing that there was no joy or happiness in his words, everyone probably guessed the result of the fight between the two parties, so they didn't ask any questions.
Yang Sui continued, "The two sides fought fiercely, and everyone can probably guess the result. Our soldiers did not gain any advantage..."
Zuo Heng frowned and said, "Are these beast spirits so powerful? What should I do if I run into one in the future?"
Yang Sui said, "That's not entirely true. Our soldiers can't ride horses in the mountains, so their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. If we were in an open area like Biyuan, the beast spirits of the Beast Mountain might not be able to take advantage of us."
Zuo Heng could not help but ask: "What was the result of Brother Wen Gang's attack?" He thought that he and Wen Gang were almost the same in the way of Force martial arts, so he had to ask clearly so that he would have a sense of propriety in case he ran into a beast spirit.
Yang Sui said: "The two sides fought fiercely, and it can be said that neither side was able to defeat the other. Wen Gang used the Dragon Spine Sword Style, which was even more powerful. A beast spirit with weaker body skills was immediately stabbed by him and fled away screaming..."
Everyone cheered and said, "Well done, we should let those ignorant beast spirits suffer a little, so that they know how powerful our Bicheng Army is!"
Yang Sui sighed and said with a sad face: "Who would have thought that the red-haired ape suddenly went crazy, flying around and actually broke one of Wen Gang's arms... Wen Gang couldn't stand it anymore and passed out. The red-haired ape refused to give in and bit one of our soldiers to death. The rest of us had to run away desperately, and fortunately the red-haired ape didn't continue to chase us, so we managed to save Wen Gang..."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, their mouths wide open, unable to speak, thinking that this time the Bicheng army was outnumbered, but still lost so miserably. It can be said that every soldier in Bicheng was ashamed. Who would have the courage to talk to them when they meet the beast spirits of Beast Mountain in the future?
After a long silence, Zuo Heng asked, "What does Yang Zhongjun say about this matter?"
Yang Sui said, "My third brother has an impatient temper. I think you have heard of Zuoying. When he saw Wen Gang and his entourage returning in defeat, with a soldier dead, he was extremely angry and wanted to go down the pass to Chuike Road to settle the score with the red-haired ape..."
Zuo Heng said, "No, no, this will only make things worse."
"Yes, at this critical moment, we should focus on how to deal with the Claw Tribe. How can we offend the Beast Mountain? Although Humu Pass is within the territory of my Green City, generally speaking, this area belongs to the Beast Mountain. Not to mention that the King of Ten Thousand Beasts may cause trouble to us, as long as he lets the Beast Spirits go, we will have enough trouble just dealing with those elusive guys."
Yang Sui continued, "Fortunately, several guards and battalion officers under my third brother tried their best to dissuade him, so he did not rashly go down the pass. Otherwise, he would have fought with the King of All Beasts, and who knows what would have happened."
Zuo Heng said: "The beast spirits of the Beast Mountain have not yet fully developed their minds, and what they do is indeed a headache. As a result, my Green City Army can only guard the Tiger Mu Pass and watch the Claw Tribe attack. This is too passive..."
Zuo and Yang talked to several captains about Yang Luo's specific arrangements for the Nan Dui Camp. It turned out that the eagle message sent by General Bi Ye to him had clearly stated that Yang Luo should spread a battalion of soldiers at the foot of the Beast Mountain to serve as scouts to prevent the Chisha people from coming out from unpredictable places and directly into the heart of Bicheng. But this time, Yang Luo only brought more than two battalions of troops from the Beicheng Army, and there was really no room for more manpower. Zhou Bo followed Bi Ye's instructions and immediately transferred the Nan Dui Camp to Hu Mu Pass to follow Yang Luo's arrangements. The follow-up troops of the Nan Ding Army will also set off later, and it is expected that all of them will be stationed near the pass to meet the Chi soldiers who may go north at any time.
As for Bi Ye's plan to draw another 5,000 troops from the Beicheng Army, Xiyi Army, and Zhongjing Army to guard Humu Pass, Yang Sui did not mention it. It seems that Bi Ye did not explain it in the letter he sent to Yang Luo, so they were not aware of it. Chu Xiaomu thought that perhaps General Bi Ye had changed his mind temporarily.
Zuo and Yang were troubled when they mentioned Yang Luo's plan to spread all of their Nan Dui camps at the foot of the Beast Mountain. Yang then said, "When Deputy General Xiao asked my camp to go ahead with the main army, I felt strange. It turned out that General Zhou and he also planned to change my camp into a sentry camp, but they didn't say it clearly."
Zuo Heng frowned and said, "It's okay to change our Nan Dui Camp into a Sentinel Camp. After all, we are dealing with the evil followers of the Claw Clan and protecting our Green City. But the Beast Mountain stretches thousands of miles from south to north, stretching us into such a long line. Nan Dui Camp is only in name..."
Yang Sui said, "Yes, the brothers in the camp have been with us for several years. I'm afraid no one wants to be separated like this..." He paused and said, "Why don't I talk to my third brother and ask him to make other arrangements."
Zuo Heng thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "As soldiers of Bicheng, it is most important for us to obey the orders of the generals. If you don't listen to me and I don't listen to you, we will all be scattered. I don't think it's necessary to deal with those Claw people. We should just give up Bicheng and go home to herd sheep."
Yang Sui said, "What Zuo Ying said is true. I'd better not mention it to my third brother."
Chu Xiaomu thought, judging from these few sentences, Zuo Heng was much more knowledgeable than Yang Sui. No wonder he was an officer of a large camp while Yang Sui was only an officer of a small camp.
The next day, Yang Luo indeed issued a military order, requiring the two battalion officers Zuo Heng and Yang Sui to split the 23rd team of the Nan Dui Camp into at least 50 patrol squads, and to execute it immediately.
Zuo and Yang had no choice but to call together the 23 sergeant captains and forcibly split up the teams.
The soldiers knew that the transformation of the Nanding Camp into the Sentinel Camp was a foregone conclusion. Although they had many complaints, no one dared to disobey the general's order. They all kept silent, and the division went relatively smoothly.
