Chapter 629: Transferring Population (2)
Counting the days, the three hundred selected people of Huangsha City, including Kong Daqian and others, have already gathered at the edge of the world.
They have actually heard about this area for a long time, but they are explicitly prohibited from approaching this area, so they have never seen this pitch-black void with their own eyes.
After that, the energy channel opened, which opened their eyes even more.
At the same time, carriages that had been ready to go began to move quickly.
This is specially prepared to ensure their movement efficiency within the energy channel.
The number of carriages in Huangsha City alone is not enough. For this reason, their logistics force also provided some to make up the number.
The moment they passed through the energy channel, everyone only felt a change of heaven and earth. In just a blink of an eye, they came to a new world.
During this period, some people looked around with curiosity, while others leaned against the carriage with livid faces, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.
“This is a normal phenomenon. When passing through the energy channel, due to individual differences, some people will have a strong sense of dizziness. Take a deep breath and it will be fine after a while.”
The entourage who noticed this group of people shouted a reminder.
People who heard the reminder took a deep breath.
Those people who were not dizzy in the first place felt refreshed after taking a deep breath like this. The air here was actually indescribably fresh, which invisibly made breathing change. It became a happy thing.
It is natural that they would have such obvious feelings at this time. There is naturally a reason why Huangsha City is called Huangsha City.
The land in that area is barren and full of yellow sand. When the wind blows, the sand and dust can directly cover your face. The natural environment is not good to begin with, and the air quality is also quite poor.
Unlike here, there are green plants everywhere in the mountains, and the air is naturally very fresh.
Many of these people have never left Huangsha City in their lives. When they get here, they can’t help but be amazed.
During this period, after a brief moment of surprise, Kong Daqian naturally quickly noticed that this was in the mountains, and then cautiously approached the leader.
"Sir, are we Dazhou in the mountains?"
In response, the leader glanced at Kong Daqian and then spoke.
"Our Great Zhou territory is vast, and the mountains here are only a small part of our Great Zhou territory. After passing through these mountains, there is the Gobi, and beyond the Gobi there are plains, grasslands, and rainforests..."< br>
At this moment, Kong Daqian and the others do not have a full understanding of how big the territory of the Great Zhou is. They only feel that the geographical environment of the Great Zhou is complex. Unlike China, it is basically composed of mountains and plains. .
Until they experienced several days of climbing over mountains and ridges...
They only felt that the mountain road had no end at all, and the tops of the mountains were connected one after another, as if they were endless.
Is this only a small part of their Great Zhou territory? Everyone was a little dumbfounded.
This is mostly the case for people who have never lived in the mountainous areas before and are new arrivals.
During this period, we stopped for a while in Tieshan Village and then continued on our way.
"Okay, the barren mountain village is ahead. We can get there before dark. When we get there, we can have a good rest."
The people who heard this They all cheered up and successfully arrived at the barren mountain village before dark.
Although Huangshan Village is just a village, its paradise-like scene makes everyone’s eyes brighten. [It would not be bad if we lived here like this for the rest of our lives. 】
This was the true thought of many people at that time.
But obviously, most of them will not stay here.
The development of the Gunshan area is difficult. Without extensive construction and just maintaining normal internal operations, the population here is actually close to saturation.
In comparison, Black Moon Village, Salt Lake Village, and even the grasslands and rainforests, which are currently undergoing extensive construction, are the places that really need labor.
However, before leaving, they still left thirty people in Huangshan Village to supplement the internal labor force.
Of course, the more important purpose is to completely disperse these three hundred people, so as to prevent them from forming a large-scale clique before they are assimilated.
After leaving the mountainous area, the remaining two hundred or so people were not enough to divide. In the blink of an eye, they were all divided up by the cities.
At the same time, on Yan Sheng's side, the flying pigeon message from the Huangsha City spies was delivered to him as quickly as possible.
According to his request, the spies reported the situation at that time in detail.
However, since the enemy army directly blocked the area around the city wall after occupying Huangsha City and prohibited any city residents from approaching, the spies dormant in the city were unable to conduct in-depth confirmation.
"This letter mentioned that there was a loud noise coming from the direction of the city gate."
If you were a local aboriginal, you might not be able to guess what happened at that time based on this little information. , but Yan Sheng is, after all, a modern man with quick thinking.
“Being able to break through the city in one day and making a loud noise is probably a siege equipment, and it is also a very destructive siege equipment, otherwise it would not be possible to do this easily.”
Realizing this, Yan Sheng frowned deeply and looked very ugly. If the gates of Huangsha City could not withstand the attack of the siege equipment, it was basically impossible for the gates of other cities to withstand the attacks. , if the opponent launches a follow-up offensive...
Thinking of this, Yan Sheng felt his temples bulge.
"No, I can't let them launch a follow-up offensive. I have to take the initiative. As long as I take the initiative, they, as defenders, will not have much use for their siege equipment."
In addition, the letter also stated that the other party was transferring its population, which also made Yan Sheng extremely angry and must be stopped as soon as possible.
“I ordered you to recruit two thousand troops from around Black Rock City, have you recruited them all?”
“Reporting to Your Majesty, the two thousand troops should be in place within a week, but after that these new recruits They need to practice for at least two months before they can be put to some use. Now letting them go to the battlefield is no different than sending them to death.”
Why doesn't Yan Sheng not understand this truth? But if I wait another two months, I'm afraid that Huangsha City, which is not my own, will be emptied out.
As for the idea of letting Long Zhantian take the existing troops to carry out harassment first, it is not that he has never thought about it.
But don’t forget, there are centaur cavalry on the opposite side.
When the centaur cavalry comes out, won’t they just be the ones delivering food?
“By the way, Centaur, haven’t there been any news from the Centaur mercenaries?”
After discovering that there were centaurs on the opposite side, Yan Sheng immediately sent someone to contact the mercenary group in order to confirm whether the matter had anything to do with the mercenary group.
But he doesn’t know what the situation is now. The mercenary group has been unable to contact him, which makes him quite irritable.
