Chapter 648: Soldiers approach the city

If the Lanzhi Plain, which is full of flowers, was able to quickly become a rich prefecture and county in the Northern Wei and Southern Dynasties, it would not be vast enough for the vast land and sparsely populated Dangxiang. The most important thing is that the terrain is not steep enough.

At dusk on the second day, the Dangxiang army in Yingshan, who had been named after him, arrived at the territory of the Sanshu, and the Dangxiang, a real city, closest to the Southern Dynasties, was near to Yanyang City.

The warm and humid breath was like a sudden cut by an invisible giant talisman between heaven and earth. The colorful colors were instantly deprived of sight, filling Lin Yi and others' eyes, from lively flower trees to continuous frozen soil.

The color of the soil is like the carrion that turns blue and black after rotting, and is frozen by the cold. The stones exposed to the soil even shine like a cold metal.

Most of the weeds on the frozen soil are grayish-white, and they grow only one inch long. Many weeds are still growing and blooming in this temperature close to the frozen point, but the flowers they bloom are also grayish-white, very similar to the fluffy catkins.

Although the terrain is rising, like a huge gray carpet spreading endlessly towards the distance, and at the end it is also a snow-capped mountain hidden among the clouds, the rise of this terrain is very smooth. Walking in it makes people almost feel like walking on the slope, but like walking in an endless plain.

But this calmness is not conducive to the charge of infantry and cavalry.

Countless streams are twisted and winding through this frozen soil field. From a distance, they look like flat and uninterrupted wastelands, but are actually divided into countless uneven small pieces by these streams that have been washed over the years.

The pieces of frozen soil are like miniature islands.

The water flow formed by the melting water of the iceberg is not deep, and cattle and sheep are usually easy to wader directly over the water, but if a war occurs, it is impossible for the cavalry and infantry to sprint quickly in such areas.

If there were formation troops from the Southern Dynasties and Northern Wei, it would be possible that countless murderous intents could be hidden in this frozen wasteland according to the terrain.

The vast, desolate, cold, and endless are the main themes of this frozen land, but there are also several strange protrusions in the flat landform, which are several hills, all of which are black rocks, only a few dozen feet high, and a city is built on these hills.

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the cities in the cold wind. Looking at the height of these cities, he was sure that even if it was the Northern Wei and the Southern Dynasties, most of the siege weapons could be transported to the city through such a frozen wasteland full of ditches, it seemed that it would not pose any threat to the cities on the hills.

"The rocks on those hills are very hard, and after the long-term wind and solar eclipse, the surface is already very round. Originally, only rock sheep could barely walk on the mountain walls. But if it was really time to war, my third uncle and other cities had a large amount of sheep oil reserves. As long as you pour it from above, even rock sheep would not stand and be very slippery."

Seeing Lin Yi carefully looking at the cities, Xifeng Yingshan also said in detail, "There are usually 40,000 defenders in these cities. There is groundwater source in the city and there is no shortage of water. The food in the city, even if there is no external supply, has been prepared for three years."

Lin Yi nodded. His eyesight was far beyond ordinary people, so when he saw behind those cities, there were many square houses scattered in the vast fields, as well as many tents for grazing. In the gray-black frozen wasteland, you could clearly see large groups of cattle and sheep grazing.

"Woo...woo...woo..."

The night was about to fall, but the arrow towers on the high places in those cities had a great view. The Dangxiang Army in the city also quickly discovered the arrival of the uninvited guests, and the sound of the Niuke quickly rang out.

A moment ago, Lin Yi felt that this area was not suitable for cavalry charges at all, but with the sound of the Niukeon, more than ten cavalrymen rushed down from the gate of the main city in the middle.

The iron hooves of the war horses under the more than ten riders hit the black rocks, leaving behind a row of sparks, and then rushed into the frozen wasteland below, roaring through it, without slowing down at all.

However, these cavalry did not rush straight towards the Dangxiang Army of Xifengyingshan, but were winding forward like a snake. Lin Yi knew very well in his heart that these cavalry were already well aware of the terrain of this frozen wasteland, and had already been guided in the complex landforms, and had a route that could be quickly moved.

Xifeng Yingshan waved his hand, and this army, which had been very low-key along the way, also extended many flags, and more than ten cavalrymen were facing the people. However, these subordinates of Xifeng Yingshan were obviously unable to understand the terrain of the wasteland and moved very carefully. The figures of these cavalry were sometimes high and sometimes low, and the war horses often stepped into the streams and raised them with large splashes of water.

"So it's Brother Yingshan."

There were still several arrows left before the more than ten cavalrymen rushed out of the Xifengyingshan Formation, and a loud sound had already sounded.

Xifeng Yingshan couldn't see the man's face clearly at this time, but when he heard this voice, he looked solemn and said, "General Tian Qisheng."

"The Tianqi family is a vassal tribe of our Xifeng family. This person is Tianqisheng and an important general under the third uncle. He is very trusted by the third uncle." Xifeng Yingqi explained softly behind Lin Yi at this time.

Lin Yi's eyesight was no less than Feng Yingshan. He had already seen clearly through the glimmer of light. The man who made the sound was a middle-aged man wearing a armor that was red and black. The man had a purple-black face, a slightly narrow face, but his eyes were very unique. He was of medium figure, but his body was dusty outside, and his body was very clean. He was obviously a practitioner. The armor on this man's body had soft armor on the red part, while the black part was thick metal armor.

Others could not see the person's face clearly at this time at such a long distance, let alone the change of expression, but Lin Yi could see clearly. He could see that when the man spoke up and said that he was Yingshan's eldest brother, he had no surprise on his face. He seemed to have known that this army was the army of Yingshan.

After both sides greeted each other and confirmed that it was not an enemy attack, both sides stopped slowly. Xifeng Yingshan said loudly: "General Tian Qisheng, I have something urgent to see my third uncle. Can he be in the city?"

"He is in the city, but there is something important at this time."

Tian Qisheng's face remained unchanged and said, "I heard the news that you were coming over before, and he had already ordered that you should go to the side city to rest after you arrive. If he gets empty, he will come to see you immediately."

"this……"

Xifeng Yingshan was immediately embarrassed. He felt that arranging Lin Yi to meet his third uncle was more important than anything in the Xifeng family, so hesitated for a little while and immediately looked up and said, "General Tian Qisheng, my affairs are urgent, and it is related to the survival of my Xifeng family, so please let the general inform the third uncle immediately."

"It's related to the survival of the Xifeng family?"

Lin Yi saw that Tian Qisheng had a faint sneer on his face. After hearing this from Xifeng Yingshan, he was also shocked and a little shocked.
