Huangxiu

Chapter 325 Action
Chu Zhiyuan shuttled between the reefs, quickly landed on the shore, and entered a small town.

Within the scope of Dongzhao, the town is only about three miles in radius. In the town of several thousand people, dried fish are dried everywhere.

The fishy stench permeated the air.

Smoke rose from every household, curling into the air, making the air in the twilight full of the scent of burning firewood and the breath of life.

There are all kinds of stalls on the town’s busiest street.

There were fish stalls, meat stalls, vegetable stalls, fruit stalls, some shops selling clothes and cosmetics, and two grocery stores.

Children were running wildly in the streets, and people were already gathering in teahouses and restaurants to eat.

Chu Zhiyuan changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes in advance and smeared his face with disguise cream, turning it brown so that he would not look out of place when walking in the town.

He came to a teahouse in the town, sat in the corner, and hung a wooden sign around his waist.

The color of the wooden sign blends in perfectly with the linen clothes, and it cannot be seen unless you look specifically at the waist.

After sitting for a while, a small note appeared in his palm, which was delivered by the shopkeeper himself.

Chu Zhiyuan finished his tea and stood up to leave.

Guided by the note, he came to a small courtyard and knocked on the door twice, three short and two long.

The gate of the courtyard opened, and a fat middle-aged man was waiting inside. He clasped his hands together and said nothing.

Chu Zhiyuan entered the courtyard.

This is a very simple courtyard. It can be seen that no one lives there usually and it is only cleaned occasionally.

Chu Zhiyuan came into the house.

There was no fire in the house, and it was damp and cold.

The middle-aged man clasped his fists and said, "My name is Fatty Four, and who are you, brother?"

"What a coincidence, I'm Qing Si." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I came here to ask for help."

"If you have any problem, just tell me. I will do my best."

"I've seen the defense map of the western border. I want to find out where I am now and where there are garrisons around me."

"There is a garrison three miles away with a dock. This place is Rongxing Town on Wangxi Road. The garrison next to it is Rongxing Fort. There are about a thousand garrisons, two large ships, and ten small boats."

"Has there been a large amount of baggage transported here recently?"

"There are some, but not that many."

"Are there any additional troops? Or any recruiting soldiers?"

"Not this one."

"No sign of sending troops?"

"The Daguang Dynasty is in the south. If we send troops, it should be towards the Wangnan Road, not the Wangxi Road."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

It seems that everyone has the same mindset, which is to send troops southwards, towards the Daguang Dynasty.

The secret spy from the Supervisory Office in front of him had never thought that the Da Lie Dynasty would send troops to the Da Jing Dynasty in the west.

This is the Great Victory who deliberately set up a confusing array to make everyone think that he is going to send troops to the Daguang Dynasty.

The Da Lie Dynasty also kept the secret from its own people, deceiving everyone and also deceiving the Da Jing Dynasty.

This move has to be said to be extremely powerful.

"If they start from the south and turn west halfway, where do they usually turn?" Chu Zhiyuan asked, "They can also get supplies."

"...There is a large island in the southwest, Nanyun Island. If we stop there, we can turn directly to the west. Nanyun Island is rich and convenient for supplies."

"Nanyun Island..." Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "It's not easy to get into Nanyun Island, right?"

"Nanyun Island is heavily guarded, and you need a pass to enter."

"Can you get a pass?"

"...I'll give it a try." Fat Four frowned and thought for a while, then said slowly, "We'll know tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

He could see that Fatty was still confident and was just delaying on purpose.

To show how difficult this matter is.

"besides……"

Chu Zhiyuan talked with Fatty Si until he was thirsty and drank two cups of tea without realizing it. He tried to figure out the situation around him.

Chu Zhiyuan then said goodbye to Fatty Si, walked around the town, and went to the Rongxing Fort garrison three miles away.

He released his super sense and took a photo of the garrison at Rongxing Fort. He quickly figured out their strengths and weaknesses and breathed a sigh of relief.

These more than one thousand Da Lie soldiers were lax, their military discipline was lax, and their martial arts skills were mediocre.

Most people are lazy when practicing at night.

He knew from intelligence from the Supervisory Office that the military system of the Dalie Dynasty was different from that of the Dajing Dynasty, and the most important thing was that merit was not that important.

Compared with the Dajing Dynasty, the path to advancement for the soldiers of the Dalie Dynasty was not as wide.

It is not easy to move up and gain merit, so these more than a thousand soldiers have no motivation and are all old veterans.

When these thousand people faced the Phoenix Camp, the soldiers of the Phoenix Camp didn't even need to use formations, as it was enough to quickly destroy them.

Taking advantage of the night, he continued southward along the coastline, running hundreds of miles in one breath and seeing several large military camps.

Overall, the Dalie soldiers are not very powerful and have no formation.

Just think about it and you will know that naval battles do not require any formations. They just shoot arrows from the ship and then board the ship to attack and fight.

The further south they went, the more elite Dalie's soldiers became. Each one of them was tougher and had stronger individual combat power.

But this elite force was still inferior to the Dajing soldiers he had seen.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that he was worrying too much.

It was these elite troops that allowed them to break into Dajing and reach the eastern border. As long as the troops from the western border of Dajing were transferred over, they would be killed in a rush.

seeing is believing.

After seeing Dalie's army with his own eyes, all his worries were gone by about 70%.

The next morning, we returned to Rongxing Town, got a pass, and headed south.

Instead of taking Dalie's ship, he relied on his own small boat and pushed it to the maximum speed, and arrived at Nanyun Island in one breath.

After entering Nanyun Island, he used his pass to stay in a restaurant and experience the local customs and culture of Nanyun Island.

There are also garrisons on the island.

The garrison on Nanyun Island is even more elite.

He was well aware of their routine training and the deployment of their troops.

It was discovered that military ships were constantly transporting troops.

With the addition of soldiers in small groups, the garrison on Nanyun Island reached more than 10,000 people.

It can be seen that these soldiers came from all over the place and gathered on Nanyun Island. They are all elite selected from the army.

These elite troops are still far inferior to the Phoenix Battalion.

Chu Zhiyuan was determined.

The next day, he left Nanyun Island and continued southward until he reached the northern border of Daguang.

He entered the Daguang Dynasty from the north, then contacted the secret agent of the Supervisory Office. After a tour, he had a clear view of the northern border of the Daguang Dynasty.

Two days later, he returned to the eastern coast of Dajing Dynasty, found two divine dragon horses, and returned to Yujing.

……

The Phoenix Camp begins to move.

They were divided into ten teams, about ten miles apart, with eighteen small teams forming a large team, and they marched separately.

On the way, Chu Zhiyuan continued to train their military formation.

Tianlongshenma allowed him to come and go as fast as lightning, training one team and then the next.

They can be instructed in turn once a day.

Everyone used light skills to march and carried light loads. Bai Ningyu had already gone forward one step ahead to coordinate the baggage supply.

After ten days, when they arrived at the Eastern Territory, they had already mastered the Phoenix Seeking Formation to about 50% perfection.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that this was enough.

In a military camp somewhere in the eastern border, all the soldiers of the Phoenix Camp changed into the armor and weapons of the Da Lie Dynasty.

They looked solemn, feeling the solemnity of the coming war.

Chu Zhiyuan looked down at the soldiers of the Phoenix Camp and was quite satisfied.

These soldiers all have experience in fighting. Even if they have not lost lives, they have all seen blood.

Such soldiers will not become weak in the hands and feet when they go to the battlefield, and will not be unable to exert less than 50% of their full strength.
