Chapter 585

To understand everything, Meng Cang and Li Chang's eyes were bright. On the one hand, the reason why they were blocked by the herds outside the mountain depression was that the Nanli army from the valley mouth attracted all the attention of the purple leopard. Driven by it, the animal tide did not disperse towards the mountain depression.

On the other hand, they sealed off the entrance of the mountain pass completely with semi-finished stones from the quarry, camouflaged it with a lot of plants and mosses, and poured the powder of tongge grass, which is the most disgusting of mountain beasts, on the grass after mixing it with water. Even people can't help retching when they smell the invisible taste, not to mention the mountain beasts who are more sensitive than people.

Of course, they are trapped here by the herds in the South Valley, but it does not mean that the army must come to get them out of the trap. The biggest problem they are facing now is that they don't have enough food for the two battalions to recover.

You know, they were chased here by the herds all the way from Danshui. They didn't even have time to catch their breath, especially after Xiaogushan. Because ye Zhiqiu and Guogong Lin Mingxuan's calculation failed, the herds were only a few miles away from them recently. In order to escape from the pursuit of the herd, when they were hungry on the road, they all ate a mouthful of dry food on the back of the fighting beast. Even a little rest, but also in order to let the wind beast and thread horned horse eat grass and drink water to supplement physical strength.

By the time we get near this mountain depression, the physical strength of 6000 Qingqi, whether they are fighting animals or human beings, is close to the limit, and their energy is on the verge of exhaustion. If they go further, they will not be overtaken by the beasts behind them, nor will they be able to break through the Nanli army which is blocking the road by building a stockade at the mouth of the valley. It will be tiring and will make this elite who has reached the limit collapse. In no way, they had to choose this almost Jedi depression to rest.

Fortunately, this valley can provide a relatively safe place for the soldiers of the two battalions. The houses that were used to rest the stone masons more than 100 years ago are all built of wood and stone. Although some of the houses have collapsed due to the relationship between years and years, the remaining houses are still enough to make 6000 elite soldiers not have to suffer from the wind and rain.

But this place is not a good place for the soldiers to repair and restore their fighting power. First of all, most of their rations have been eaten on the road. Even if they haven't eaten them, they are accidentally dropped and abandoned in those days of night and star. They don't have enough food to restore their physical strength. Lin Mingxuan, the Duke of the Kingdom, led the more than a dozen dark Huang masters in the Lingtai realm every day. Before dawn, when the sky was darkest and the herd and Nanli garrison were tired, they could get back some dead beasts from the battlefield.

These experts can get back 30 to 50 carcasses of wild animals from the battlefield in one day. After removing the fur and bones, they can eat thousands of Jin of meat. This number seems to be a lot, but if they are given to more than 6000 people in two battalions, each of them can eat less than a jin of meat in one day.

If you want to know which one can become the elite in the army is not a valiant soldier. His blood is many times stronger than that of ordinary people. Similarly, his food intake is much higher than that of ordinary people. If such a little meat is enough for a lady, it may be enough for a day. But for the six thousand elite, that is, the amount of appetizer, even one meal is not enough.

Moreover, the meat of these beasts can't be eaten directly when they are taken back. They should be placed in a Dharma array set by Lin Mingxuan with the spirit stone for a period of time. The reason for this is that the tide of beasts comes from xiyuanze. The reason why the herds do not need to eat a lot of food and can still rush forward is that the evil spirit in their bodies constantly overdraw the vitality of the mountain plains Linze overlord.

This is also the reason why the tide of beasts in historical records finally subsided automatically. When the vitality of the beasts was overdrawn by the evil spirit and karma, they would naturally die. The reason is that no matter how large the scale of the ancient animal tide is, how powerful the destructive force is, and how many cities it has broken, most of them die out automatically within a year or a few months.

So the meat of these beasts can't be eaten directly. They have to be placed in the array to let the evil spirit of the dead beasts disperse quickly before they can be eaten. Otherwise, if these soldiers are also infected by the evil spirit, they will become as tired as the beasts and only know how to kill.

However, this is not the most miserable, the most unacceptable, but also have to accept that not far away from the col is the South Valley, where the herd is. In order not to be found by the herds, they can't make a fire to cook or cook the meat into meat soup. They can only spread a little salt on the meat sticks and swallow it with spring water.

Without enough food, you can't regain your strength. Moreover, the animal tide is just outside the valley. For most of the day, you can hear the roar of all kinds of beasts, and even the battle at the mouth of the valley tens of miles away. Because of the special terrain of the valley, it can also be heard from afar.

Under such circumstances, although there are simple stone houses to rest in, everyone can't sleep soundly. The strings in everyone's heart collapse tightly, and even their armor doesn't dare to be taken off. I'm afraid that when the beasts find out here, they will attack suddenly, which will make everyone have no time to react.

But if the white wolf king and his pack arrive, both problems will be solved. Although they don't know how many wolves are left after the zhennanguan war, the scale of the wolf pack was close to 20000 before. They all know that although there are a large number of wolves, Lu Que and Gu Qingcheng do not often provide food for the wolves. Most of the time, they feed themselves. Once the wolves arrive, their food shortage will be solved.

In addition, there are also group leaders at the level of exotic animals, even the extremely rare spirit beast moon wolf. They don't have to worry about the problem of vigilance. Because of their limited talent, even the most conscientious sentries are not as keen as these Spirit Wolves. With them, all the soldiers can have a good sleep.

As long as there are enough supplies and enough rest time, the soldiers of the two battalions can quickly recover their combat power. Now it is because the strength of 6000 soldiers is exhausted and there is only the last fight left, so they can only be trapped here. But if these 6000 troops get back to their peak, they'll always find a way out of here.
