Chapter 33 Defence
After returning to the barracks and sitting down, he stretched out his hand to stroke the black horse that came over, Ren Ning was a little distracted.

Starfall County.

This is the hometown of their Ren clan.

Ren Ning said that he was familiar and familiar, and that he was unfamiliar was also unfamiliar.

It is said that Xingluo County was just a virgin forest a long time ago.

Desolate and inhabited, ferocious beasts are rampant, and poisonous insects are infested.

Later, a huge meteor fell from the sky, and with a bang, it smashed a huge plateau in the virgin forest here.

So it was named Xingluopandi.

After the Yunchui Empire was established 600 years ago, this place was renamed Xingluo County.

And the military flag of the Starfall Legion is embroidered with a knife and a sword to resist the burning falling stars in the sky.

Just as he was thinking, footsteps sounded outside.

Tie Tiangong pushed the door open with a bright smile and walked in.

"Hey, what are you thinking about, Kid Ren?"

The so-called master is the teacher.Since Ren Ning came up with those strange knowledge or ideas to share with him, Tie Tiangong bowed down.

Every time he encountered some construction or material problems, he would subconsciously go to the scout camp to ask Ren Ning what to do.

After coming and going, the two became friends who never talked about anything.

It's just that every time he comes over, he usually sees Ren Ning clenching his teeth and exercising himself in the camp. It's rare for him to sit and rest in the barracks in broad daylight like today.

Ren Ning smiled, pulled a stool for Tie Tiangong and poured tea.

"It's nothing. It's just that someone from the Starfall Legion came to see me today. I'm considering whether to turn around."

"Really? That's great!" Tie Tiangong slapped his thigh happily, "Turn around if you can!"

"What's so good about being a scout? You don't even get a chance for promotion and salary increase if you work hard. What are you doing here!"

Ren Ning laughed dumbfounded, "That's what I mean too."

For the little soldiers, the reason why they signed the military status at the beginning was either to fill their stomachs or to make a name for themselves.

As for such a lofty matter of defending the family and the country, those who are illiterate will not think so far.

"It's just..." Tie Tiangong hesitated.

"Just what?"

Tie Tiangong paused, "It's just that the Starfall Legion should be deployed in August next year."

He thought for a while, "According to the rules of previous years, it should be changed to Yumu County in the north."

Call?

Ren Ning pondered.

Yanfeng Fortress claims to have a garrison of 15 troops.

The 15 horses actually refer to those who can go to battle to kill the enemy, and do not include the number of horse breeding camps, training camps, cooking camps...etc.

Therefore, there are far more than 15 horses in the whole fortress.

There are so many people guarding one side, the soldiers are strong, the city is high and the generals are brave, and all kinds of facilities in the city are complete. If there is enough food and grass, it can be said that one side is a vassal.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The pillows in the imperial capital are too hard, and some people usually have difficulty falling asleep.

Therefore, every three years, except for the 12 people in the headquarters of the general defending the fortress, the other legions will be deployed according to their rotations.

For example, those from the west will be transferred to the south, and those from the south will be transferred to the north...

As for where to deploy defenses, most of the time they follow the rules of the Ministry of War, but sometimes it depends on the mood of the emperor.

Calculating the time, it will be the turn of the Starfall Legion next year.

"Just adjust it." Ren Ning didn't care, "Anyway, wherever you go, you are on the sidelines and fighting. It doesn't make any difference to me."

Ugh.

Tie Tiangong let out a long sigh.

No matter which legion is deployed for defense, he will only stay in Yanzhen Fortress to forge iron, and will not leave with him.

Dangdangdang has been hitting the iron for more than 20 years, and he will think that he will continue to hit it until it can't be hit.

Unexpectedly, in the past few months, I have met a little guy full of strange ideas, and the things he came up with are magical and interesting.It made him feel inferior.

In addition, Ren Ning never deceived himself, and knew all the answers to Tie Tiangong's questions.

For a moment, the old blacksmith suddenly felt that his energy had returned to the days when he was learning to forge with his master when he was young.

Full of tension, anticipation and excitement.

It's just that this kid has no interest in joining the Forging Battalion. With the deployment of the Legion next year, it seems that nine out of ten of his interesting days will end soon.

"Here, your telescope is ready."

Tie Tiangong lost the excitement when he came, and lazily took out a tube of about ten inches (30 cm) and handed it to Ren Ning.

"See how it's doing, or what needs to be adjusted."

"Already done?" Ren Ning was overjoyed, "It's really hard work."

He walked out of the barracks a few steps, picked up the binoculars and tried to look into the distance.

what.

Ren Ning was taken aback.

The quality of this telescope is better than he imagined. Not only is it extremely clear, but it can also adjust the distance.Even the eyeballs of the birds passing by in the distant sky can be seen clearly.

"How is it?" Tie Tiangong asked.

Ren Ning didn't reply, but just gave him a big thumbs up.

Hey.

"It took me a lot of work to grind those two crystals. Fortunately, I made it."

Tie Tiangong was somewhat complacent and somewhat emotional.

"I tried it before. It almost scared me to have a stroke. I have to admire your brain, you can think of such a magical tool."

"It's just clairvoyance."

"It's said to be one step ahead of others and seize the opportunity. In the future, whichever scout or general on the battlefield owns it, it will definitely be thousands of steps ahead of the enemy."

Ren Ning laughed: "Master Tie, you are exaggerating."

"Exaggeration." Tie Tiangong glared at him dissatisfied, "I bet it will definitely change the situation on the battlefield in the future. Do you believe it?"

Before Ren Ning could reply, he slapped his head again.

"That's right. I haven't reported it to the fortress yet and I haven't told anyone else. I suggest you submit it as soon as possible, boy Ren. If the fortress knows the goods, I believe this military merit can make you several levels higher."

"Understood." Ren Ning nodded hehe.

He didn't put down the binoculars, but continued to stare at the bird in the sky.

Goldfinger!
There is a yellow 42 on the distant bird.

Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

This is far more useful than the telescope itself.

Tie Tiangong rambled on for a while, and finally reminded Ren Ning that if he thinks of any novel ideas, he must remember to inform him.

Tie Tiangong's hands are itchy now.

What Ren Ning came up with was an eye-opener for him, and he wished he could have a few of them every day for him to play with.

As for the standard spears and shields used by the soldiers, and the standard plows and shares used by the farmers, he didn't bother to touch them, and threw them all to the apprentices for practice.

Ren Ning complied naturally, promising to think of new ideas in the future, and Tie Tiangong left satisfied.

On the second day, he didn't submit the new invention or apply to the Starfall Legion to change arms, the task of the fortress came.

Sure enough, he went out to find medicine.

The little soldiers have no right to refuse to perform the task, Ren Ning happily accepts it.

"Zhuifeng," he walked up to the dark horse, "I'll take you out to see the vast world outside these two days. Are you happy?"

咴咴咴!
Zhuifeng didn't know if he could understand it, but he hissed happily when he saw his master was happy.

However, no matter how anxious he was to go out, Ren Ning still submitted the binoculars to the fortress first, and then got the military achievements in his hands.

Another busy day.

He packed up his weapons and rations, reported his whereabouts to forward Gao Deming, rode on the chasing wind that was about to become an adult, and left the fortress again.

Go west!
Looking at the vast prairie, Zhuifeng really lifted his spirits.

There was no need for Ren Ning to urge it, it let out a long roar, spread its legs and ran, and disappeared in the vast grassland in an instant.

Ren Ning laughed heartily.

This speed, this endurance, what a thousand-mile horse.

Make big!
It's just that the task this time is not to detect the enemy's situation, and there is no specific destination.He let Zhuifeng find a direction and run happily.

After running for three days, Ren Ning stopped to check his position, then turned his horse's head and headed southwest.

He survived because of his previous mount.

Three months later, the grassland is full of fire and water, and maybe there are still wolves haunting it.[-]% of the former Chasing Wind has long been gone, but Ren Ning still wants to go and see.

And that is where the life-seeking grass was found in the first place.

It happens to kill two birds with one stone.

He looked up at the sky, then at the withered and yellow weeds under his feet.

It is getting colder and colder.In recent years, the climate on the grassland has been abnormal, and there has been no snow yet.

Three months have passed, and some weeds will grow in the place where the fire burned.

Maybe he can really find some life-seekers and go back to his life.

And to go to the place where Chasing Wind buried bones, one had to find the Kailun or Lanmang tribe first, and then go all the way north.
