The east just showed white fish belly. A group of figures walked slowly along the edge of the swamp.

Because of the drying of winter, the area of ​​the swamp water has naturally decreased a lot. It was originally a muddy land on the edge of the swamp, but at this time it turned into solid land due to water evaporation and icing. This created a practical road.

A gust of cold wind blows towards us. This is a cold current from the north and is rare in this season. This may indicate that a heavy snow is about to come in the near future. This cold wind is not a joke. The biting coldness penetrates the spine and goes from the top of the head to the toes. If a creature does not have enough ability to keep the cold, it will not be able to stand being blown by this wind alone. The correct way is to reduce the weather and find a place to shelter the wind.

But the team endured the cold. Although their fur was blown up in the wind and their bodies were trembling, they still persisted. No one fell behind, and no one spoke. The reason was simple: the fur on their bodies resisted most of the cold wind. For winter, the cold resistance of fur creatures is by no means comparable to that of naked apes.

Yes, it’s not clothing, but fur. If humans are present at this moment, they will probably immediately call out the name “Quirong”.

But unfortunately, no one is wandering around in the wild at this time and in this weather.

Advancing in the cold wind was like a team of zombies. These werewolfs were fully armed, holding various crude but practical weapons, enduring the severe cold, and marching on the dry winter land with their recurved hind paws.

There were not many of them, only twenty or thirty. Walking in front of the entire team was a gnoll with the largest and best-equipped gigolo. He held a pair of bronze beryllium, was wearing leather armor qualified to be called "armor", and a leather helmet on his head. Although its head structure was not in line with the shape of this helmet, it was barely worn. Compared with him, other gigolos were much shabby in their clothes. They were wearing almost primitive leather and metal pieces, which could only be said to be barely covered in the vital position.

But when the wind blows violently on their fur, you can see the skinny skin under the fur. These werewolves have been hungry for no reason.

The whole team slowly advanced in the cold wind until it stopped at the edge of a small slope. Although this small hill is very short, there is a considerable cave on the hillside to shelter the wind.

Most of the werewolves entered the cave to shelter, but, including the leader, two or three werewolves came to the top of the slope and looked at the village at the end of their vision with greedy eyes.

It was a typical human village. A decent exterior wall and several high-level warning towers formed the basic defense force. This defense is very effective in dealing with wild animals, but facing intelligent creatures that can use tools, it can only be said to be better than nothing. It was early at this time, and it was winter again, and the whole village looked silent. Only a few occasional barkings proved that the village was not a ruin, but a place where humans lived.

In this village, there are food, residences, clothes and blankets for keeping warm, and everything they want. There are also humans, fragile, hairless, delicious, but also dangerous summers!

At this moment, in Kunwu City, Doctor Kunwu was wearing simple clothes and sat on a chair to look through the latest documents sent. For a lord, you should always be very careful during wartime. This is an era of war where accidentally destroys your family and destroys your family, and you cannot tolerate a little bit of laxity and laziness.

"Does the Xifeng Doctor defeated a Quanrong tribe there again..." He murmured to himself. "The border town has also come here... Then other areas occupied by Quanrong... the situation should be uncontrollable."

"Yes, a large number of Quanrong tribes have moved into the royal capital. I am afraid that the land of Zongzhou is no longer owned by me." The messenger said worriedly.

Before, the Quanrong was a military invasion. To put it bluntly, they came to burn, kill, and plunder, and they would retreat after doing enough. But now, they actually started a large-scale tribal migration... This situation is not good. This is to completely occupy the land of the Zongzhou.

"Shen Hou is already a sinner in Zhuxia this time," said Dr. Kunwu pondered for a moment. "No matter why he colluded with the Quanrong in the beginning, he probably regretted it now. Although Shen Hou and the Quanrong are still in alliance, once the Quanrong complete their migration, the State of Shen and the State of Ji will be alone in the Quanrong group, and the demise will only be a matter of time."

If you are not a clan, your heart will be different - it is not just Zhuxia who regards this sentence as a motto and puts it into practice.

"There is another thing. It is said that the Quanrong scattered soldiers have gathered into bandits and are plundering savages nearby." said the messenger.

"Well, I'm also paying attention to this matter recently." Dr. Kunwu said. "As it true that the remaining defeated soldiers who had escaped were gathered together now? It was also the simplest thing I thought at first. I thought that the remaining defeated soldiers were not worth worrying... Now it seems that killing all the soldiers is the right choice. After defeating the Quanrong, we should have surrounded them."

Doctor Kunwu defeated and killed a large number of Quanrong before, but some deserters must have survived in those battles. Those survivors basically lost their organization, lost their supplies and supplies. I originally thought that these Quanrong would naturally die in the wild due to lack of organization and supplies. Now it seems that things are not that simple.

Although the savages are not considered subjects of the lord in most cases, their life and death are irrelevant to Doctor Kunwu. However, it would be a problem if the Quanrong continued to become active within the territory of Kunwu City by looting those scattered savage villages.

However, it can be seen from the village where they could only plunder the savages that these Quanrongs were limited in number and had little combat power. They basically would not pose any threat to their vassals. Of course, if the vassals themselves and their troops were on Kunwu City, it would be hard to say.

"These Quanrongs are currently rootless trees and water without source..." He paused for a moment. "Cleaning is not an urgent task. But..." He thought about it again. "Zhang Cheng is resting, which is not suitable. Huang Gong has been busy recently. Let Xin organize a team to patrol the territory and see if there is any chance to catch the defeated soldiers of Quanrong."

He got up and walked to the window, looking out, it was already dawn.

Zhang Cheng opened his eyes and saw the wooden roof. The bright light shone in from the window and shone on his bedding.

This is his home... his mansion in this world. He used to be a different house for Doctor Kunwu, but now he has been given it. After traveling back, Zhang Cheng got up, sorted out his cards, and then walked out of the room.

There were already slaves who prepared breakfast and toiletries for him. For the natives of this world, this was just a very ordinary night.

This is a rare leisure day, because Zhang Cheng is sure that he doesn't need to do anything during this period, including today. He thought that maybe he should learn to drive. If he wants to fully utilize the abilities of a brigade master, he must have a variety of skills. Although horse carriage is primitive, it seems to be a useful skill.

He has already started riding a horse, and the car has already been put on the car and actually operated it. He feels like he has learned it. However, the driving skills that are common in this world, that is, the "Yu" that scholars should understand, are still completely unaware of. Of course, he can explain it by being young and having no time to learn. But for the time being, he will not leave this world, so he still has to learn to drive better.

Driving a carriage is two different things and holding a steering wheel on the earth. Like the ancient history on the earth, there are many vehicles in this world. According to the number of carriages and horses, it can be divided into single horse pulling carriages, double horse pulling carriages, four horse pulling carriages, and even six horses and eight horses. However, the cost-effectiveness of six horses and eight horses is too low, and it is basically used to show off when going out, not a common method.

Different numbers of horses pulling carts are obvious in their performance. The chariots in this world must be four horses.

According to the history of the earth, the Chinese chariots are the largest and heaviest among ancient chariots. Compared with the small chariots of European and African chariots, these chariots are used to impact enemy formations, taking into account the impact, long-range lethality, maneuver power and melee high-end heavy equipment. The small chariots with single and double chariots are the fast combat platforms for archers.

In this magical world, things are almost the same. Zhang Cheng may not have understood it before, but after learning equestrianism, he began to understand a little - there is no way to cast spells when riding on a horse! No matter how flat the ground is, the horse will bump up and down when speeding, affecting gestures.

In this world, magic must be released through gestures, spells and medicinal materials. It’s okay to avoid medicinal materials, but if you want to avoid spells and gestures, you basically have to pay the price of downgrading spells. On the contrary, if it is on a chariot, you only need the cooperation of the driver and don’t deliberately make the vehicle pound violently. The caster on the car can cast spells more easily.

Zhang Cheng had already had the experience of commanding combat vehicles. In the last battle to attack Huaiyi, Zhang Cheng clearly noticed the great effect of the chariots in the battle. Although it was unexpected, the limited number of chariots cooperated with infantry almost instantly shattered the Lizardman's resistance.

It should be described in this way. Under the current technological level, there has not yet been a military force that can replace combat chariots. In the foreseeable limited future, as long as the time travelers are not in a state of climate, the combat chariots should not be eliminated. Of course, as Nanling plans, it is really like the ones that skip all intermediate developments within a few years and directly point out the future military technology of the flintlock. That situation should be discussed separately.

"I want to learn to drive when I have free time now." Zhang Cheng said after finding Jia Jia.

Jia would not refuse the monarch's request at all.

A short while later, Zhang Cheng saw in his yard that his chariot had been covered with four war horses. Hu Chen was next to him, and the little girl should have watched from the side because of curiosity.

Zhang Cheng has been on a chariot many times, but this time it is still different from the past. After all, there is nothing to worry about in the past. If the chariot stops beside you, you just jump into the carriage. This time, you have to actually control the reins of the horse. Although Zhang Cheng knew that this was in his yard, the four horses were not blind, so no accidents would happen, he felt a little nervous. When he got on the car, he suddenly remembered a poem about the Book of Songs.

"I am in the field, riding on a horse. Holding a bridle like a group, and two horses are dancing..."

"That...hello, don't come in... Bastard, you two fools, grab him!" An angry voice came from outside. Zhang Cheng recognized that it was his supervisor, that is, the voice of his body.

Then someone rushed into the yard.

However, the man had just rushed in and was immediately hugged by the person behind him, and fell down unsteadily. Then, several servants flocked to him and pressed the uninvited guest to the ground.

"What's going on?" Zhang Cheng saw that the person who broke in was a young man, no, just a teenager. He was obviously not threatened, because Hu Chen didn't move his foot in place. This was also proved indirectly from his entanglement with his slaves. Two or three unarmed and combat-trained male servants pressed him easily to the ground and could not move. Someone covered his mouth, making him speechless.

"Young master, sorry." The body walked over. "I don't know why this person suddenly broke in. I drove him away immediately!"

"Wait." Zhang Cheng was a little confused. In this true feudal era, it was not an ordinary thing to dare to break into the lord's mansion, because the lord had judicial power and judicial power. If you kill you, you would kill you, and you didn't even have a place to shout for justice.

"What's going on?" Zhang Cheng walked forward and asked. Looking at the master's statement, the servant let go of the hand that covered the uninvited guest's mouth.

"Young Master Zhang Cheng," the stranger shouted. "It's Quanrong... Quanrong is coming!"

What's going on? Zhang Cheng was very clear about the battle between Doctor Kunwu and Quanrong before. Not to mention anything else, the Jingguan at the entrance of Kunwu City is still there (although the flesh is rotten). There is no Quanrong around Kunwu City now, otherwise Zhang Cheng would not be able to stay in his fiefdom, right?

"Where did Quanrong come from?"

"I am from the village next to you..." the stranger shouted. "Quanrong attacked us before dawn! Mr. Zhang Cheng, please rescue me quickly, otherwise the village will definitely not be able to support you!"

Is there a village nearby? But when Doctor Kunwu gave the fields, he said it very clearly. This village is around this. In other words, if it is another village, it should be the territory of other people. Zhang Cheng looked at his subordinates in confusion.

Jia took a step forward. "It's the savage's village." He said. For the lords, the savage's villages were actually not under their control, and of course it was not the lord's obligation to protect the village. But even so, if it were Quanrong... it was easy to imagine what would happen there.

Zhang Cheng looked at Hu Chen and Jia next to him. The natives might have a second choice for this issue, but the time travelers were gone.

"Get in the car!" Zhang Cheng said. He closed his eyes and sure enough, a new task appeared on the panel.

"Here!" At the top of the small slope, the leader of Quanrong watched a chariot gallop out of the village. The eyes that were no different from the hyena were flashing with excitement and greed. "Sure enough..."

As long as the strongest combat power lord and core elite subordinates leave, this village can be captured!

As for that small village... he just had a little bit of oil and water, but it was really good to use it to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Chapter completed!
