Chapter 709 Genting Highlands(2/2)
"You and Feng Chen are similar to Mo Shang. You are always trying to make the gang better and make everyone more motivated.
"It's just that the Qingtian people's foundation is still a little worse than that of the Xiaoyue Alliance, which is based on the nomadic tribe. Not to mention that there are four extraordinary guardians in the Xiaoyue Alliance who are protecting us.
"In the final analysis, a person with limited abilities like me is of limited help to you, the leader of the gang.
“When there is no particularly big opportunity or turning point, we can only choose what level to do.
"The Xiaoyue Alliance's discipline and cooperation ability allow them to cooperate tacitly with the Zhongzhou frontier army and the secret guards trained by the fifth general on the battlefield, and they can advance and retreat on the battlefield with ease.
"Our role has been greatly reduced, and the Crescent Alliance can only do hard work to ensure logistics work.
"Since the fifth general is worried about the safety of the rear, there is no one more suitable than you and me to come to Genting to find out.
"Brothers who come here without landing are all the choices they made themselves.
"You only need to be responsible for your choices, and we will be responsible for our choices.
"Besides, I have also died once, and I have even had experiences that are more painful than death. Why should I be afraid of a mere death?"
"Also, I don't agree with the concept of lonely ghosts.
"If you can die with your friends, confidants and brothers, at least you won't be alone!"

…
Genting Plateau has high altitude, low temperature, light wind and heavy humidity.
This kind of area is not suitable for long-term living, but it is a valuable place for military training.
Many generals led their troops to Yunding to sharpen their guns in battle shortly before the war.
After going down the mountain, he really had the momentum to swallow up thousands of miles, exerting at least two or three times the usual impact.
The height of Genting Highlands naturally makes it a commanding height.
A catapult turret was erected from the north to the southeast of the ring plateau, which was enough to form high-altitude fire suppression for the area three or four miles away.
In addition, given that Yunding Plateau is located in the hinterland of central and northern Zhongzhou, starting from Qingning in the west, looking at the wilderness in the north, Qin in the east, Long in the south, and most importantly, the foot of the mountain in the southwest is close to Yangguan Avenue, it is also destined to
Genting Plateau is a strategic location in the north of Zhongzhou.
Although the dynasties of Zhongzhou have never set up garrison posts and stockpiled heavy troops on the Yunding Plateau, they have paid more and more attention to it.
In the past two to three hundred years, the imperial court would dispatch more than two battalions of troops to be stationed at the foot of the Genting Plateau all year round.
Implementing a shift system, fifty people must be stationed on the plateau every half month.
Once the war between Zhongzhou and Oara becomes tense, the rotating guards on the mountain will have to strengthen daily patrols on the plateau. In addition to expanding patrols in the surrounding areas, the base camp at the foot of the mountain must also report the situation in the rear to the front lines every ten days.
What is being guarded against is a fire in the backyard that endangers the front line.
The above situations are the information Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei learned from the ANBU.
Generally speaking, Jianghu people rarely pay attention to the geographical conditions related to battlefield battles.
Genting Plateau is an exception. Last time, many Jianghu people fought bloody battles here to protect Zhongzhou.
Many people in the Zhongzhou arena of that generation have aged, but the old man has never forgotten this place.
Therefore, the information provided by the ANBU is very detailed, except for the map of Genting Plateau.
Due to the special geography, even the ubiquitous ANBU is unable to dispatch personnel to linger on the plateau from time to time to record the shale landforms that may be constantly undergoing new changes due to wind and rain.
Luo Piaoling, who has studied military science diligently in recent years, has obviously also noticed the strategic location of Genting Plateau.
Immediately after Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei left Jinzhou City, they received a souvenir from Luo Piaoling through the ANBU.
The letter mentioned that Chu Hanxiong led the Twelve Tiansha Sects led by Tiansha Palace to defect to Wala. In addition to attacking Ulanbat, he would probably send people to seize the commanding heights of Yunding Plateau and give Wala a big gift.
The Fifth Marquis should be able to see some clues from the battlefield and divide his troops to defend, but with a huge offensive from the north, his manpower will definitely be stretched thin.
To prevent any unexpected events, Luo Piaoling had asked Si'er and Piaoying to come to the rescue first, and hoped that Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei would come to provide additional protection.
Sure enough, when Jiang and Leng arrived at the foot of Yunding Plateau, they found that the soldiers of both battalions had been dead for some time.
The person who reported the information to the front line was probably someone from the Twelve Heavenly Evil Sect pretending to be one.
It is not difficult for the Twelve Heavenly Evil Sects, who have already had their hands on the Zhongzhou government, to forge wartime secret reports.
The two decided to go up the mountain to investigate the situation before making plans.
Although Jiang Yichen once again invited General Hei, the divine steed, before arriving here, General Hei was old after all. Carrying two people at low altitudes was not a problem, but climbing up the plateau was still a bit difficult.
So the two of them and one horse reached the top of the plateau before dawn on September 9th.
After settling General Black, he sneaked close to the sentry tower without much delay and set up his tent to investigate the situation.
They found that although there were soldiers on the mountain, they had all been replaced.
In order to avoid alerting others and to find out the situation, the two chose to remain dormant.
The strange thing is that they heard almost no news about the battle situation on the front line from these fake soldiers. Instead, they all talked about a two-story bear!
That afternoon, while Jiang Yichen was still staring at the hard-to-eat dry food in his hand, he faintly heard the sound of gold and iron and the roar of bears in the distance!
The unit of measurement of troops in this book (consistent with the previous chapter)
One regiment = three battalions = 1200~2000 troops
One battalion = 300~500 troops
