Chapter 385 Vision
Zhou Cang is now quite famous in Xiyuan County. He has been stationed in the area of ​​Baimashi for more than two years and has never had any problems. He firmly guards the first line of defense of Nanyuan Kingdom.

The soldiers under his command also transferred another battalion in the middle of last year. Now he has three battalions in his hands, with a total of 3000 people, including [-] cavalry.

This kind of force is already an absolutely powerful force in Nanyuan Kingdom, especially in the frontier army.You must know that the total strength of the entire West Route Army is only 5, but it is responsible for the defense of the entire Xiyuan County.

Especially the two hundred cavalry among the 3000 people, which would have been unimaginable in the past.Because there are always very few cavalry in Nanyuan Country, they are usually left in the central army, and are rarely deployed on the front line of the garrison.

It's not that they can't afford cavalry, but that they lack horses, horses that can be used as war horses.This has always been the root cause of Nanyuan Kingdom's inability to develop large-scale cavalry.Because not all horses can be used as military horses.

And [-]% of the few military horses in Nanyuan Kingdom were exchanged from Beiwu Kingdom, but the horses from Beiwu were all gelded, and the number was very small, and this was also used to control Nanyuan Kingdom to prevent Nanyuan Kingdom from developing. Threats to themselves after a powerful cavalry.

But things have changed in the past two years.The number of Beiwu's high-quality horses entering Nanyuan Kingdom has more than doubled compared to previous years. Although they are still gelded, it is enough for the frontier army of Nanyuan Kingdom to have more cavalry than before.Zhou Cang only got [-] riders.

Of course, two hundred cavalry is not a small number. Even though there are many more horses than before, there are too many places to use horses in the huge Xiyuan County. There are naturally special reasons for deploying so many cavalry for Zhou Cang. .

Because Zhou Cang is not only responsible for guarding the front line of Baimashi, but also responsible for monitoring the monster clans who are active in Baimashi, keeping an eye on them all the time.And because some groups of the Yaozu, such as those with hooves, run extremely fast, if there are not enough horses, they will not be able to keep an eye on them.

At the beginning, Zhou Cang was extremely complicated about this new job, even very reluctant.His emotions are not unique, almost all the West Route Army has similar emotions.Facing the Yaozu, they can risk their lives to fight with them.It is impossible to wash away the blood and hatred in it.Now you want the soldiers of the West Route Army to watch and not to engage in conflict, which is undoubtedly a kind of spiritual injury.

Fortunately, in the end, there was a forced order in the army, and some hysterical generals were transferred away, and only then did they have the current state of being able to restrain each other with the Yaozu tacitly.

At the beginning, Zhou Cang was exhausted enough.Because he was not at ease, he followed those monster races around all day long. From dawn to sunset, there was almost no rest, and he was always on guard against whether those monster races would have malicious intentions.The mental and physical exhaustion was no more relaxed than when he was sticking to the first-line army in Baishi City.

But after a few months later, Zhou Cang found that those monster races didn't mean to play tricks, nor did they deliberately want to get rid of them, but were really trying to find something.

With this understanding, Zhou Cang was gradually relieved.After half a year, he no longer ran with the Yaozu every day, and divided the following cavalry team into three, using Feiyu to communicate with each other, taking turns, so that they could have proper rest and not be too tired.

Although he wasn't as nervous as he was at the beginning, Zhou Cang still didn't slack off. Every day, he would report the follow-up information one by one according to the requirements of the chief yamen above. Even if there was no abnormality, he had to report it.

After a long time, Zhou Cang also summed up the characteristics of the monsters who entered the territory of Nanyuan Kingdom and their behavior.

For example, the Yaozu who came to Nanyuan country usually act in a team of 50 people.But there are very few real fighting groups in this team, less than fifteen.The rest are all non-combat groups that rarely appeared in front of the human race before.For example, Dwarfs and Rockrats.There are more than [-] monsters in these two clans, and the rest are large monsters with hooves.

These monsters will not approach the military camp, or they will avoid it from afar. They seem to be running around like headless chickens, but in fact, if you count all the places where they have stopped, you can find the special features. place.

For example, it is all low-lying terrain, and I like to drill into some lakes and caves, and I will also make holes on some gravel beaches.

It gave Zhou Cang the feeling that what these monster races seemed to be looking for was hidden underground.

Anyway, in order to avoid accidents and the last question from above, Zhou Cang himself marked all the places in his jurisdiction that were stamped by the monsters.Anyway, it didn't take him much effort.

Another point is that the Yaozu is really dangerous in Xiyuan County.They have no bells to warn them of, but they have other means of protecting themselves, by a strange little flying beast.But that kind of flying beast can't take care of everything, and there are often monsters who die inexplicably.

Especially in the last two months, the number of deaths of Yaozu in Xiyuan County has risen almost linearly. Zhou Cang saw it before, but five or six died in January.It is not uncommon for ten people to die in January these days.This also greatly reduced the time each Yaozu team spent in Xiyuan County.He didn't know if the other demon clans who entered Xiyuan County were like Baimashiyixian, anyway, he reported all these situations to the report.

These things will not attract the attention of Zhou Cang's family, because in his opinion, it is a good thing for the Yaozu to die more.It is no secret that there are a group of invisible monsters in the territory of Xiyuan County.Those beasts hunt the living.The human race can avoid it by relying on the bell, but it is difficult for the monster race to resist effectively because they are scattered.What's so strange about how many more people died now?Maybe it's because of the sudden increase of those ominous creatures?

As the sky was getting darker, Zhou Cang walked around the military camp in uniform. This was his last necessary procedure every day, checking the integrity of the fortifications in various places in the military camp and whether there was any shortage of standing weapons.

"My lord, Cheng Cheng ordered them to come back and said that there is something urgent to report to your lord, and he is waiting outside the big tent at this time." The adjutant came in a hurry, and he was going to work for Zhou Cang who was just about to inspect the last fortification in the army. report.

Zhou Cang nodded, and rode back to the big tent after completing the inspection, and saw one of his generals waiting there from a distance.

"My subordinates, see the adults!"

"Well, I heard that you are in urgent need of me? Let's go, let's talk about it later." Zhou Cang didn't greet the other party, opened the curtain and walked in first.

"Tell me? What's the matter?"

After sitting down, Zhou Cang was also very curious.The school order in front of him is one of the chief officers of the two cavalry teams under his command, and they are taking turns to follow the Yaozu this time and come back to recuperate.If there is something urgent, it should be related to the Yaozu, right?
Sure enough, I heard the school order say in a deep voice: "My lord, something happened to those monster clans!"
