Two soldiers wearing light leather armor ran wildly in the wilderness full of weeds. They were wearing leggings on their calves, carrying tiger-headed small round shields, hanging on their waists with a steel knife with a hundred-sized hairpin, and carrying a two-foot-long compound short bow in their hands.

The body that ran quickly separated the weeds from both sides like waves. However, nearly a hundred battles behind him were seven or eight fully armed riders chasing each other. Under the iron hooves of the war horse, the weeds that were higher than the knees were trampled down in pieces. The meadow was marked with marks similar to the trajectory of a large ship.

The distance between the chasers and the chasers is gradually getting closer.

"Brother, we can't run like this, and in the end no one can escape. Let's go separately, I'll break the back! You go quickly!" a slightly older man shouted to the other person.

"No, brother, I can't leave you alone."

"Don't leave, if we don't leave, we will die. They are here to silence us. Let's go!" The older man scolded. The other person nodded silently with tears in his eyes.

"You must meet your lord alive. In addition, take good care of your sister-in-law and your nephew..."

The young man took a deep breath and ran northward. The older man knelt on one knee and half hidden in the grass. When the other party approached, he bent his bow and arrows and arrows. The arrow did not shoot people, but shot at the horses. Then he got up and ran south quickly. Then he bent his bow and arrows again.

The riders were wearing full armor made of unknown materials. The bow in his hand was a composite bow arm, a reinforced bowstring. But after all, it was still a short bow and its power was limited. He was worried that the arrows might not necessarily penetrate the armor on the knights, so he shot horses and stairs to shoot people.

As the horse roared and neighed, one of the pursuers had already rolled down from the horse's back to the ground. The other few were stunned. Seeing that the other party bent his bow and arrows, he did not dare to rush forward. He spread the horses to both sides, and the few people rushed up in groups.

Another arrow was so whizzing, and the arrow hit the horse's leg, and another person fell off the horse. At the same time, a horse rushed to the front and a sabre cut him head-on. The man had already copied the small shield on his back in his hand, raised the shield to block it, and made a jingle collision sound...

At the eastern edge of the Nanyang Basin, the Fangcheng wasteland, more than a dozen flags were rushing in the wind. The team of hundreds of people under the flag had been stopped here for half an hour. The mount under the crotch of a young general was also obviously anxious and he made a circle in small steps.

This young general is Feng Yu. He probably would have been able to meet with his father Feng Fang in the eastern part of the Nanyang Plain. So after bypassing Wancheng from the south, he began to send scouts to conduct investigations around the route of travel. He also called out the system panel from time to time to check in case he missed it with Feng Fang.

But until he reached the edge of the Nanyang Basin, he still saw Feng Fang's men and felt extremely strange. Of course, he did not know that Feng Fang was injured in an attack in front of Ogu Pass.

This morning, he sent out ten groups of scouts as usual, letting them leave the team, and spread out in a fan shape to the two wings ahead for reconnaissance, in case of missing out with Feng Fang.

It was agreed that at noon, the scouts should meet with their team members here. However, at the agreed time and place, only nine groups of scouts returned to the team, and one group of scouts has not been seen yet.

Miao Hua urged him to step forward, clasped his fists at Feng Yu and said, "Lord, these two scouts are afraid of an accident. It is better for the lord to lead a large group of troops first. Miao Hua brought a few soldiers to wait for them here."

Feng Yu nodded: "I have to do this..." Before he could finish his words, the soldiers around him suddenly had a commotion and pointed in the distance.

"Report to the lord, a group of people came from afar!" A soldier said to Feng Yu. Feng Yu looked closely and saw several flags rising from the weeds in the distance. The broken flags were vaguely named Feng. He hurriedly brought his troops to meet him.

After a while, the two sides gathered together. When the other party knew that it was Feng Yu, the troops of his lord's son, came to pick him up, cheers suddenly resounded in the wilderness of Fangcheng.

Feng Yu came to Feng Fang's stretcher, and the latter was only breathing. In fact, if he hadn't been to see Feng Yu for the last time, his breathing would not be able to last.

When Feng Fang saw Feng Yu, a hint of spirit appeared in his empty pupils. He briefly said something to Feng Yu, which was a summary of his life and his expectations for Feng Yu:

"Son, our Feng family was just a small family of commoners. In order to shine the lintel, we just took the Cao family for our father, and then we got rid of the poor family and entered wealth. Let our Feng family be ranked among the three dukes and nine ministers. Who knew that until today, this is a bamboo basket to draw water..."

Feng Fang said this, sobbed twice, and suddenly stretched out his dry palm to grab Feng Yu's neck. He took a deep breath and said:

"No,... we still have you in our Feng family. I admit that I have invested little in you since I was a child, and I even forgot your mother's name. But son, don't forget that your surname is Feng no matter what you do... I can't give you anything now, just these nearly two thousand pieces. From now on... it depends on your own..."

Feng Fang finally took his last breath and fell into Feng Yu's arms. Feng Yu calmly placed Feng Fang flat on the stretcher, covered his blanket, and then ordered: "Transfer our military orders and return to Zhuyang."

At this time, another pigeon chamber building map was added in his system's "package", and the tiger and leopard riding training was also unlocked.

Miao Hua reminded Feng Yu: "Lord, the two scouts have not returned yet. Do you think there are a few people to help them?"

Feng Yu pondered for a while and said, "No, these scouts are all elites and have strong survivability. As long as there is nothing wrong with them, they will definitely be able to return to Zhuyang alive. If something happens, it will be useless for you to wait here."

A few days later, the army returned to Zhuyang. Feng Yu used two thousand-person shelter cards as usual to store all the people brought by Feng Fang into the system population.

Feng Yu used the buildings in the system to "wrap" to build a pigeon chamber in Zhuyang City, and a horse farm and a thousand acres of alfalfa fields were built outside the city. The horse farm started with 650 Xiliang healthy horses. Among them, 400 were stallions. If a higher breed of horses is needed, a higher-level horse farm needs to be built.

Finally, Feng Yu created two new teams of tiger and leopard cavalry, and the remaining population was solved by adding wheat fields. At this time, a system prompt sound came: [Reminder: The iron ingots in stock are on the verge of exhaustion, please prepare for the response as soon as possible.] Feng Yu shook his head and sighed and said, "I want to buy iron from Kuai Tong at a high price."

Iron, like salt, is one of the few things that cannot be self-sufficient in Zhuyang City. Because there is no iron ore within a radius of hundreds of miles of Zhuyang.

However, iron is not a daily consumable like salt, and Feng Yu has taken some measures to artificially reduce the demand for iron.

For example, in terms of choosing a military force, the low demand for iron materials for spearmen is one of the reasons why Feng Yu chose a spearmen rather than a knife and shield soldier. Of course, it is only one of the reasons. In terms of actual infantry killing efficiency, guns are higher than swords and swords.

In addition, some scrap copper and iron can be collected from the old ruins of nearby waste cities to increase the supply.
