In the western frontier, he guarded the West Pass.
There was a popular limerick in the northwest.
A thousand miles of sand and bones, the outer wall of the West Garrison Fortress.
It was the dangerous terrain of the West Garrison Pass. It was like a high wall erected in the northwest courtyard where yellow sand was flying and bones were everywhere. It protected the peace of the people in the west for a long time.
This also indirectly confirmed the long history of the western frontier.
It could be said that ever since the Tiandu Clan disintegrated and the eight kingdoms fought for hegemony and internal strife, the West Garrison Pass was the guardian god of the people in the western border of the Great Zhou. Before the rise of the Qin Kingdom, the West Garrison Pass had stopped the plunder from the barbarians beyond the Great Wall.
Ever since the rise of the Qin army, the West Garrison Pass had always been an impregnable pass that the Qin army could not cross.
It gave the people living in the western border a sense of security.contemporary romance
However, in the past few years, the West Garrison Fortress had almost fallen twice.
This also made the people of the entire western border worry.
The West Garrison Fortress held a heavy weight in the hearts of the people in the northwest, and they had always regarded it as their guardian.
Now, even the West Garrison Fortress had almost fallen.
The commoners did not know what else could protect their safety.
Li Yueming followed the nearest route from the north to the west. Along the way, he met many people from the western border.
He dismounted and asked, only to find out that they were all spontaneously organizing teams to transport grain to the West Garrison Pass.
Some of the commoners were pulling donkey carts, while others were simply carrying heavy loads of wheat, sweet potatoes, corn, and other grains on their shoulders. They traveled thousands of miles to the West Garrison Pass just to feed the army in the West Garrison Pass.
There was also a lot of grain that was stored last year. It was the family property that the commoners had hidden to resist various natural disasters.
Even though Li Yueming was prepared for this, he still couldn’t bear to look at it when he saw it with his own eyes.
After all, the Northwest was not the prosperous Central Plains.
The grain production here was extremely low. It was already not easy for the commoners to make a living here. In addition, these years were chaotic. Every household had tightened their belts, and their lives were quite difficult.
However, under such circumstances, they had sent all the grain stored in their homes to the West Garrison Pass without anyone forcing them.
This showed how much they trusted the Western Garrison Pass and the Western Garrison Army.
In fact, Li Yueming wanted to remind them that if the Qin army really launched an all-out attack, the West Garrison Pass alone would not be able to defend against their million strong army.
However, it was just a thought. If he really had to say it, he wouldn’t be able to open his mouth and didn’t know how to say it. Not to mention that this matter had not happened yet.
Even if it really happened.
So what if they were a bunch of weak commoners?
When the nest is overturned, there are no intact eggs. When a disaster comes, the first to suffer is often the pitiful person.
Li Yueming sighed and shook his head.
About five days later, Li Yueming arrived at the West Garrison Pass.
As the first pass in the northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the grandeur of the West Garrison Pass was unimaginable to ordinary people.
From a distance, the entire city wall of the fortress seemed to be made of steel. The dark gray wall rose from the ground, and the hundreds of meters tall and dozens of meters thick wall was built in a narrow and dangerous place.
On both sides of the city wall were majestic cliffs that were thousands of feet high. The precipitousness of the cliffs seemed to have been carved by knives and axes.
Such a rare scene was formed after a remnant vein of the extremely cold snow mountain broke.
The mountain range of the extremely cold snow mountain spanned thousands of miles, extending from the southwest to the northeast. The West Garrison Pass was the dragon’s tail, and the extremely cold snow mountain at the Hundred Thousand Mountains was the dragon’s head. The entire dragon’s vein was connected in one go, and only the West Garrison Pass had a fracture.
According to the ancient legends, this gap was cut off by the Renhuang of the Tiandu Clan. It was also this sword that completely cut off the last breath of the Insect Race’s ruler.
Therefore, the West Garrison Pass was also called the Human Emperor Pass a long time ago to commemorate the great achievements of the Human Emperor
Tiandu Clan.
In general, the steep cliffs make the town of the west pass the majestic dangerous terrain, also isolate the possibility of the enemy’s large-scale attack from other directions.
The moment Li Yueming saw this majestic checkpoint, he suddenly understood why the West Garrison Army could resist the Qin army of close to a million soldiers with only 300,000 soldiers.
Such a natural barrier was a nightmare for any enemy who wanted to attack the city.
After approaching the West Garrison Pass, Li Yueming quickly saw the soldiers of the West Garrison Army standing guard. They were wearing exquisite armor that had been made for a long time, and their faces were filled with killing intent.
Even though they were far away, Li Yueming could feel the murderous aura from the other party.
With just a cursory glance, even Li Yueming could conclude that the other party was definitely a veteran who had crawled out of a pile of corpses.
The Starmoon Troop was already elite enough.
However, in front of the West Garrison Army, who had been fighting with the Qin Army for many years, the killing intent was still lacking.
At the same time, several soldiers at the city gate also saw Li Yueming riding a tall horse.
After signaling him to dismount from afar.
A few soldiers with weapons came over and asked warily,””Who are you? Why have you come to the West Garrison Fortress?”
Li Yueming took out a travel pass from his pocket.
He couldn’t get this thing himself. After all, he didn’t get permission from the imperial court and ran out in private.
However, he had a good master!
