General Chen ordered the soldiers to change the road signs in the desert at the border of West Vietnam. A dozen soldiers and people familiar with the terrain returned to the camp after changing the road signs.
"Report to the general that all the soldiers who changed the road signs are back." The soldiers also reported.
"Okay, let them rest and retreat." General Chen said.
"Yes." The soldiers stepped back.
"Now I'm waiting for the reinforcements of Beiyan Country." General Fei said.
On the other hand, Wuying was ordered to join the alliance in the North Yan Kingdom. The North Yan Kingdom's emperor agreed to the alliance, but the request was for the West Yue Kingdom to attribute the boundaries of the East Moon Kingdom to itself. Nangong Wuxie agreed temporarily, but this was just a plan to delay the battle. That's it.
The North Yan State took one hundred thousand soldiers to march towards the West Vietnam. The North Yan State is in the north. Although the terrain is not as flat as the West Vietnam, it is still flat. The soldiers of the North Yan did not enter the West Vietnam. It is difficult to walk because of the terrain, but because of the weather.
"The weather in West Vietnam is really hot!" said Leng Xingchen, the prince of Beiyan.
"Prince, we have entered the borders of the West Vietnam from here. Most of the West Vietnam is a desert area. The temperature is naturally a bit high." The general on the side said.
The desert climate is like this. The sand absorbs heat. The soldiers walk in the desert. There is no wood to shade or water. In addition to the hot sand under their feet, the soldiers are a little physically exhausted, and many soldiers collapsed one after another. Come down.
"Prince, many of the soldiers behind have fallen, I'm afraid it's the weather." A soldier said.
Leng Xingchen glanced at the soldier behind and said: "According to the prince's will, the army rests on the spot for half an hour, eat some dry food and drink some water."
"Yes." The soldier said while riding a horse: "The army rested on the spot for half an hour."
Leng Xingchen's guards handed Leng Xingchen water and food. Leng Xingchen drank some water and ate the dry food and asked, "How long will we have to walk to enter the city?"
"Back to the prince, we can be there before dark." The general returned.
"That's good, the climate of West Vietnam is really not something ordinary people can bear." Leng Xingchen said.
"Yeah, the desert is hot like a stove during the day, but it is cold at night to wear cotton clothes. If we don't enter the city before dark, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to stand the weather." said the general. .
"Oh? Since this weather is so weird?" Leng Xingchen asked somewhat surprised.
"Yes, as long as you arrive before dark," the general said.
"Okay." After Leng Xingchen finished speaking, he stuffed the last bite of dry food into his mouth, and then said: "Let the notice go on, the large group will continue to move forward, and we will enter the city before dark."
"Yes." Leng Xingchen's guard quickly passed the order.
The army continued to move forward, walking according to the signs on the desert, but logically speaking, you should see the shadow of the city, but what is ushered in is still the desert, the endless desert, and the sun is about to go down. It also began to slowly decline, but still did not see the shadow of the city.
"Didn't you say that we can enter the city before it gets dark? How come we have been walking for so long without seeing the shadow of a city, but the sun is going down!" Leng Xingchen said a little displeased.
The general became a little nervous and said: "Prince, it is impossible to go wrong if you follow the signs, but the minister doesn't know why he can't even see the city."
Leng Xingchen's expression became more and more ugly, stopped the horse, and looked around, "All the surroundings are sand except sand. Tell this prince, what about the city!"
The general was so frightened that he quickly got off his horse and said: "Prince, this minister doesn't know why, just according to the road sign, he should see the city."
Leng Xingchen squinted his eyes, and then said: "Forget it, pass the prince's will, the army camps in place, the temperature drops fast at night, so that the soldiers can wear warmer."
"Yes."
