The system came a hundred years earlier, I kicked Beihai Kindergarten

After arriving at the monastic camp, I saw that the monastic camp was also cleaning up quickly, and many blacksmiths had already started setting up formations.

Seeing Shen Lang coming back, Tang Sheng hurried to greet him.

"Why did you come back just now? What happened to him?" Tang Sheng's eyes were on Lu Fengxian.

"Him? He was dealing with some personal matters and got hurt. Brother, what happened?" Shen Lang frowned and asked, "Are the grassland people attacking us?"

"I don't know, it's just Class A combat readiness." Tang Sheng said solemnly: "I'll give you two a quarter of an hour to pack up, and come over later to set up the formation together!"

"it is good!"

Shen Lang and Wei Qianluo looked at each other and agreed.

Although he almost died in the Zhenbei Palace in the last battle, Shen Lang and others were not afraid when they felt that a war was about to break out.

In fact, Shen Lang was a little excited.

Before traveling through time, Shen Lang talked to a friend who had served in the army.

That buddy said that usually those people talk about wanting to fight or something, but when a riot is about to happen in a certain area, when they pick up their guns and load bullets, they are all scared and many people's legs become weak.

What you imagine and what is about to happen are two completely different things.

At that time, anyone who dared to say that he wanted to go home would probably be shot directly...

But Shen Lang was different. He was always holding back a fire in his heart.

Although he had been busy these days and had vented his anger many times before, there was always a thorn in his heart.

Zhao Huaibei's head is still hanging outside Muyun City.

The hard-earned money that Zhang San wanted to give to Zhang Lei is still on him, and he has not yet found a mass grave to cremate Zhang Lei.

After returning to the tent, Shen Lang discovered that a big hole had appeared in his tent at some point.

"Master, what are you doing..." Shen Lang's eyes were on Mo Yi who was digging a hole.

"Damn it, a war is about to start!" Mo Yi had a gloomy expression on his face: "They will definitely investigate soon. I have to find a place to hide, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself clearly..."

"Is that so..." Shen Lang suddenly realized: "Why don't you go out?"

"Can it be the same now as before? Don't look at the chaos in this military camp. You'll be conspicuous if you go out." Mo Yi complained: "Why did the grassland people come to attack us when we were fine? These days, I forgot that there is a war now."

Shen Lang looked outside: "I'm afraid it's something about the celestial phenomena..."

"What do you mean?" Mo Yi stopped.

"Warfare requires the right time, the right place, and the right people..." Shen Lang let out a long breath and brought out the knowledge he had learned from watching short videos, reading novels, and chatting with his rebellious sons: "The grassland people have long adapted to this kind of windy and sandy weather, but we are not."

"For monks, visibility is extremely high, but for ordinary people, visibility is extremely low!"

"This kind of weather is perfect for the grassland people to attack."

"If I were the leader of a grassland tribe, I would not miss this opportunity."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to know so much." Mo Yi said, "So, we are now on guard against the attack of the grassland people. We don't know whether they will attack us or not."

"That should be the case." Shen Lang nodded.

"Tsk, it would be great if the defense was tight at ordinary times. But it's suddenly so tight. If someone attacks us, I'm afraid it will be shattered at the slightest touch..." Mo Yi complained again.

"Being tense all the time... I can't bear it." Shen Lang shook his head and started to change his clothes.

Chapter 114 Issues left over from history

The sky was filled with yellow sand, and one could not see during the day.

This time the celestial phenomenon occurred very suddenly, so suddenly that even the monks who specialized in studying celestial phenomena could not predict it.

In the Zhenbei Palace of Muyun City, the Wolf Lord was pacing back and forth anxiously.

He didn't have to wait too long. Zhao Ge came in, exhausted. It seemed that he had done something outside and had just rushed back from another place.

"Wolf Lord..." When Zhao Ge saw the Wolf Lord, he pounded his chest as a greeting.

Along the way, he observed that the patrolling grassland soldiers were not too affected by the windy and sandy weather.

On the grassland, when they encounter this kind of weather, they usually stop grazing and go back to their tents, boil a pot of hot kumis, pray to God first, then hum the grassland's unique songs and drink kumis to get through the weather.

This level of sandstorms is rare in the entire north, but for the people of the grassland, it comes a few times every year.

Therefore, grassland people are more adaptable.

"Brother Zhao!" The Wolf Lord was overjoyed when he saw Zhao Ge coming back.

He quickly stepped forward and pressed Zhao Ge's shoulders, unable to contain his joy: "Is it time to send troops now?"

"We warriors on the grasslands have long been accustomed to this kind of windy and sandy weather, but the people of the Central Plains are not good at dealing with it."

"If we launch a surprise attack at this time, I'm afraid we can directly reach the capital!"

"Almost." Zhao Ge let out a long sigh: "To be honest, this astronomical phenomenon came too suddenly, I didn't expect it..."

In Zhao Ge's opinion, there must be a problem with the core of the Thunder Cloud Pass of the Great Zhou Dynasty's barrier, which caused the violent energy of heaven and earth outside the pass to enter the pass and wreak havoc, forming this strange weather.

"When shall we send out troops and how shall we fight?" The Wolf Lord rubbed his hands, ready for a great battle at any time.

"My suggestion is that Wolf Lord should hold back..."

"What?" The Wolf Lord was furious: "This is an opportunity given by Tengri. If you don't seize it, Tengri will punish you!"

"I just said that the Wolf Lord should keep his troops in place, but I didn't say that we won't fight this battle."

Zhao Ge came to the sand table and quickly placed the chess pieces on it: "The Zhao family's army is gathering now, but they haven't made any moves."

"Recently, I personally sneaked into Yongning City. The Zhao family is everywhere there. I'm afraid the decision-making level is a mess."

"But, even so, we can't let our guard down. We still have to advance the war steadily."

"If we move at this time, they might move too."

"Instead of moving, we might as well pretend to move..."

"Pretending to move? What does that mean..." The Wolf Lord frowned slightly.

"This requires a big plan." Zhao Ge smiled: "Drag the Zhao family, other tribes, and the Great Zhou into the water together. Only the Wolf Lord will have the last laugh."

…………

Three days passed quickly, and the windy and sandy weather showed no signs of abating.

Not only that, the weather is getting worse.

In this kind of weather, the best early warning tool of this era, "wolf smoke", is probably useless.

Although there are many instruments for communication, the impact of transmitting sound in this kind of weather is huge, just like the mobile phone signal in a tunnel.

In the past few days, the entire Northern Expedition Army was in a state of high tension. The soldiers took shifts every half an hour, and the entire military camp was like an ant nest, with extremely fast execution and strong mobility.

But, as Shen Lang said, no one can withstand such high-intensity continuous work.

It was visibly apparent that the soldiers in the camp were not in as good of a mental state as they were a few days ago.

Shen Lang and Tang Xuan stood together, both on guard.

Even with Shen Lang's cultivation level, the visual distance was only about thirty meters, which showed how terrifying this yellow sand sky was.

"It's been three days. Is this grassland man getting scared?" Tang Xuan has been troubled enough these past few days.

In theory, their blacksmith branch only needs to take care of the blacksmithing and does not need to worry about things like fighting. After all, they are in logistics.

The problem is, that's only in theory.

Like during World War II, political commissars theoretically didn't need to fight...

When the fighting really starts, who cares if you are a logistics officer or not? Use whatever you can.

In the past few days, Tang Xuan, Shen Lang and others helped to set up the formation. Every time a formation eye was set up, a large amount of the cultivator's true essence and true energy would be consumed.

Basically, they squeeze out all the true energy and true essence from these people.

After finally completing the formation, we still have to patrol in batches.

Moreover, this time it was much more scientific than before. For example, Shen Lang and Wei Qianluo were too familiar with each other, so they were separated.

"Can they make it here in three days?" Shen Lang remained skeptical.

"You underestimated the cavalry of the grassland, didn't you? If they were to make a long-distance raid, a day would be enough." Tang Xuan said this with a lingering fear on his face: "I really don't want to fight them on the battlefield again. Those guys are inhumane."

"Hmm..." Shen Lang said that he didn't think the people of the grassland were that powerful.

Maybe it’s because my previous mission was to guard the tower?

After all, cavalry is a terrifying type of soldier when charging in the wild.

"Patrol carefully, we don't know when they will show up." Shen Lang looked at the mental state of the patrolling soldiers and couldn't help revealing a trace of worry.

These soldiers are not elite and have shown signs of fatigue after just a few days. What will happen if a real fight breaks out?

When the soldiers passed by Shen Lang and Tang Xuan, they didn't say hello. The leader just took a look at the nameplate, checked the secret code, and confirmed the identities of the two men, to prevent the two monks on guard from being killed and replaced silently without anyone knowing.

If you accidentally say the wrong code, or if you want to be humorous...

That's basically death.

In the highly tense military camp, no one would reason, and no one would think about whether this was going too far.

At this time, joking is really a capital crime...

"Don't talk nonsense. Good things don't work, but bad things do." Tang Xuan glared at Shen Lang.

"Maybe, the yellow sand days will pass soon?" Shen Lang thought positively.

"In the past?" Tang Xuan smiled and shook his head: "Brother Shen, you know very little about the Heaven Realm, right?"

"Not much indeed." Shen Lang said.

"The realm of heaven and man, as the name suggests, is the realm of unity between heaven and man. One can feel the changes of heaven and earth and integrate oneself into heaven and earth. One can visualize one's own mental landscape, and heaven and earth do not reject it at all. This is the most obvious feature." Tang Xuan's eyes showed a trace of worry: "This yellow sand sky is a natural phenomenon. If no one cares, it may soon dissipate... But what if there are masters in the realm of heaven and man to add fuel to the fire? The masters on the grassland are most likely to be good at using mental landscapes such as wind and sand."

Shen Lang's pupils shrank slightly.

Yes, if the Heavenly Realm is maintained and this celestial phenomenon does not end... that means the grassland people will definitely come.

Otherwise, why go through so much effort?

"If you ask me, instead of being so tense, why not let the soldiers take a break..." A trace of worry flashed in Tang Xuan's eyes: "If we continue like this, we really can't hold on..."

Tang Xuan looked at the patrolling soldiers. Several soldiers wanted to yawn but didn't dare to. They could only patrol with their heads down, like walking corpses.

"Well, for this kind of astronomical problem, it is better for a strong person in the Divine Wandering Realm to go and give a warning alone, and the others can just do as before. With the cultivation level of a strong person in the Divine Wandering Realm, even if the grassland people come, they will definitely be able to react, and the soldiers will have enough time to prepare for battle." Shen Lang nodded.

"Really? We all understand this truth. What is this general thinking?" Tang Xuan complained.

"Reason is reason, action is action. For us, this is a simple war, a simple victory or defeat, the higher the winning rate, the better. For the generals, it is a political issue." Shen Lang smiled disdainfully: "Don't seek merit, but seek to avoid mistakes, isn't it always like this?"

"If the camp remains highly tense, the grassland people come, and we are defeated, then the general has not made any mistakes."

"If you follow what I said, and lose this battle, the general will be at fault!"

This kind of shit is quite common within the system. Once an order is given from above, the lower levels will add to it layer by layer, regardless of whether it is correct or not.

If someone comes up with a good idea and implements it, if it is done well, it is the credit of the collective and the leadership; if it is not done well, he will take the blame.

…………

The meeting tent in the Goose City military camp.

Xu Lie, the commander of Echeng Prefecture in Youzhou, sat in the first seat with a solemn look on his face.

This time there was no food or drink prepared in the tent, only a huge sand table in the middle.

Those who participated in the meeting included the general, the chief secretary, the military officer, and three colonels.

Each captain has 500 men under his command, and each captain has the Zhoutian realm cultivation.

Theoretically, Xu Lie's position should be held by those in the Free and Easy Realm, but he was not very good at adapting to the system, resulting in him being a Zhechou Duwei even though he had reached the Shenyou Realm, and the number of troops he commanded was only more than 2,000 after the military expansion.

The next level after the Shenyou Realm is the Shenxuan Realm. As the Tianren Realm is extremely scarce, the Shenxuan Realm is already the top combat unit of the Great Zhou.
