Chapter 38 The tip of the sawtooth

Although there were a lot of supplies purchased, Wu Feng had the flying boat in hand, so there was no problem.

Of the five airships, except for one large ship that carried too young children, the other four were all used to load supplies, and then the rest of the people walked towards the new station.

Behind them is Zhenna City. From Zhenna City, they continue to march a hundred miles south, which is the mountain and sea area.

In this section of the road, there is only one official road opened by Zhenna City, which is passable. The rest of the road is filled with steep mountains and ridges, making it difficult to travel.

From this point of view, the terrain of Zhennan City is difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although Liguo is used as a base for the southward advance, it is difficult to say that it is not a barrier to defend against the southern barbarians.

Defending Zhennan City will keep the barbarians outside the borders of Li State. If the barbarians want to invade Li State, they can only attack Zhennan City first, otherwise there is no need to even think about it.

Zhennancheng is such an existence, because the Shanhai area is an area opened by the Li Kingdom in Zhennancheng and further south. There is only such a road between this area and Zhennancheng.

And such a road is completely controlled by Li Guo.

The current situation in the Shanhai area is that 2/3 of the area has always been firmly controlled by the Li Kingdom, and the remaining 1/3 has been repeatedly controlled and cannot be completely controlled.

Generally speaking, the Shanhai area is a nail that drives Zhennancheng into the Southern Wilderness area.

Zhennancheng is the base of the nail, and the mountain and sea area is the tip of the nail.

This nail points to the southern wilderness area, making the southern savages want to pull out the nail all the time.

But now King Li has come up with an ingenuity and moved a large number of sects here.

Regardless of the mentality of a sect that has lost its development base, it will inevitably need to develop after establishing a foothold in this place.

However, the situation and form of suppression in all aspects have caused each sect to only go south, south, and southward.

In this way, it was invisibly cooperating with King Li's plan.

Of course, there will definitely be resentment against King Li and his country.

But King Li should have considered this a long time ago and didn't care about the resistance of these sects at all.

Based on the current situation of these clans, since they have been forcibly moved here, in terms of strength, they will definitely not be able to compete with the Li Kingdom.

If they had reached such a point and came to resist the Li Kingdom, they would probably die earlier.

If this country continues to move southward in accordance with Li's major policy, there may still be some hope of survival.

Although the most likely possibility is that dying sooner or later will eventually lead to death.

However, Wu Feng can't think about that much now. They just want to see what the situation in their new station is like first.

Although the road from Zhenna City to the Shanhai area is difficult to travel, it is not invaded by so many animals of the Southern Wilderness.

Go this way

It was pretty safe, no accidents happened.

In addition, these people are not ordinary people and have some practice, so it only takes half a day to complete this hundred-mile road.

Mountains and seas are right in front of you.

The so-called mountain and sea area is on one side of this landform, right next to the sea.

On the other side of the mountain and sea area, there are all high mountains and primeval forests.

Various river branches are mixed here, making the topography very complex.

This mountain and sea area really lives up to its name!

Wu Feng and others looked at the terrain in front of them and couldn't help but sigh. This is a truly barren mountain and harsh water.

As soon as the large group of people entered the Shanhai area, they felt a real difference.

Various poisonous insects and beasts began to appear one after another, constantly harassing people.

Fortunately, Wu Feng and others were well prepared. Strong masters like Shi Ping were on standby at any time. Some masters were patrolling the surrounding areas, so there were no major casualties yet.

Following the official road that Zhennan City had previously built in the mountains and seas, they continued to march forward for about thirty miles. A castle appeared in front of everyone.

This castle is the highest administrative seat in the mountains and seas.

The official organization sent by Zhennancheng to coordinate and handle various matters is located in this castle.

The area of ​​the castle is approximately four to five square miles.

However, the castle was not open to Wu Feng and others. When they passed through, officials from Youli State confirmed their identities at the top of the city and then notified them of the address of their new residence. That was all. Even the castle

None of the doors were opened.

However, Wu Feng and the others didn't take it seriously. When they were in Zhenna City, they specifically inquired about the situation in the Shanhai area and knew that there was actually an army in this castle.

Inside the castle, there is a regular army sent by Zhennan City, accompanied by a small number of civilian officials, to jointly organize a farming army.

It's just that they didn't settle outside the city, but built a new castle, and then settled inside the castle.

This is because if the land is cultivated outside the castle, the terrain in the southern wilderness cannot be cultivated on a large scale, and can only be cultivated piecemeal here and there.

Without city walls to protect these fragmented farming practices, perhaps one night or one early morning, under the attack of a few savages, they would be reduced to ashes, and a year's farming would be all in vain.

This is also something that has been happening for many years after Liguo started its southward expansion plan.

The harsh reality forced the country to adopt these seemingly stupid methods to ensure that the harvest of farming could ultimately be in their own hands.

So although this method may seem stupid, it is indeed the best solution.

After passing the castle, Wu Feng marched towards his new station, passing one after another on the way.

There are small castles, the big ones are two or three square miles, and the small ones are only a few hundred square meters, but they are no bigger than the castle we saw at the beginning.

Wu Feng and others knew that these were all villagers inside. The city walls surrounded the fields, and the people living inside were farmers in normal times and soldiers in battle.

This is a state caused by the special circumstances of the Southern Wilderness, because it is very difficult to transport a large amount of food here from the territory of the Li Kingdom.

It is easy to be attacked. In the process of operation, one attack can often destroy all these materials.

Farming on the spot can rely on the local area to support a large number of military personnel. Coupled with the appropriate transportation of some supplies from Zhenna City, the burden will be smaller and more economical, and it will not be easy to be attacked by the people of the Southern Wilderness.

The distance between these castles is not far, and they will support each other if something happens.

Therefore, these castles scattered like chess pieces are the sharp knives pierced by Zhennan City, pressing against the chests of the southern barbarians.

The men and horses of the brigade chose the road to move forward. Through the new detailed map obtained in the mountain and sea area castle, Wu Feng and others knew that the Jianzong's station was very far forward, very very far forward.

It can be said that he is on the front line of the battle with the southern savages.

And it cannot simply be described as the first line.

Because Wu Feng, who had seen the detailed map, discovered that when King Li arranged the locations of various sects, it was simply a jagged line.

There is a sect on each protruding saw-tooth tip. In this case, as one of the saw-tooth tip sword sects, the front and both sides of it will be the territory of the Southern Wilderness people.

This situation is really bad for Jian Zong.

You must know that they are here, unfamiliar with the place, and are not accustomed to the climate. Although it has little impact on the practitioners, the terrain and environment still require time to become familiar with.

Moreover, the people of the Southern Wilderness have been able to fight against the Li Kingdom for many years and have a lot of combat experience. They also have many strange and eccentric abilities.

Wu Feng's Sword Sect, on the other hand, is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people who have been in a stable place for a long time and have not experienced any major battles at all. Although there are several masters, they are not enough to deal with such a complicated situation.

And the most important thing is the terrain, which is not conducive to development.

You must know that Zhennancheng, under the leadership of Tong Pang, has agreed on a policy of reducing their location by half. In other words, the half they cut is actually the half close to the root of the sawtooth.

This makes the sect located at the tip of the sawtooth bear even greater pressure.

It can be said that the problem facing Wu Feng is that there are enemies in front of him, enemies on his left and right, and there are not completely trustworthy friends behind him.
