Chapter 186: Quality is more important than quantity

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Li Cunxiao, the current right general of our Zhenbei Army, and this is Geng Yan..."

Lu Fan introduced Li Cunxiao, Geng Yan, Dai Lang and others to Chu Ye and Wang Ping, and also introduced these two to everyone.

Although their own cultivation was not as good as Li Cunxiao, Geng Yan and others, Chu Ye and Wang Ping did not look down on themselves, and greeted everyone enthusiastically.

Then Lu Fan asked Chu Ye and Wang Ping to introduce the general information of the four thousand Jiangdong soldiers.

The complete Jiangdong soldiers group is eight thousand people, but only four thousand people were summoned by himself.

If you want to gather the other four thousand people, you can only buy them in the system mall.

With the points he has accumulated now, he can buy a lot, but he didn't buy them.

Because these four thousand troops are enough for now.

After all, they are just cooperating with Dai Lang's Xianzhen Camp and the Zhenbei Army elite led by Lang Zhengfei to maintain this route, and by the way, they are just keeping an eye on the movements of Tianwu Barbarians.

The essence of people is not the number.

After introducing the two sides to each other and getting to know each other, Lu Fan immediately gave orders to Chu Ye and Wang Ping.

Let them lead the 4,000 Jiangdong soldiers to cooperate with Dai Lang's Xianzhen Camp and Lang Zhengfei's 400 Zhenbei Army elites to stay in Beimang Mountain.

More than 5,400 elites are enough to monitor and maintain this route, and it is also safer.

Because if there are too many people, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of fierce beasts and spirit beasts, and it may trigger a beast tide again.

If there are too few people, they cannot be fully distributed to this marching route that has been explored with great difficulty.

More than 5,400 people are just right, and it is not a big deal to distribute them in Beimang Mountain.

After all, there are quite a few monks searching for resources in Beimang Mountain.

And these monks are also targets that need to be guarded against.

Because in addition to monks searching for resources in Beimang Mountain, there are also many desperate criminals who kill and rob.

These desperate criminals specialize in searching for monks who are alone or weaker than them in Beimang Mountain.

After all, it is not as fast to search for resources by yourself as to kill others and rob them directly.

Although Beimang Mountain is very large, it can accommodate millions of cultivators without any problem.

But the probability of encountering these desperate people is still very high.

So Lu Fan also explained this to Dai Langlang, Zhengfei, Chuye, Wangping and others.

Anyone who wants to attack them, regardless of their identity, will be killed without mercy, leaving no one alive.

In this cruel cultivation world, there is no mercy to speak of, and even if there is, it is definitely false mercy.

Whether it is the Xianzhen Camp, the Jiangdong Children's Soldiers, or the Zhenbei Army Elite, they are all under his command.

Lu Fan will never allow them to have meaningless casualties.

After quickly arranging and explaining these, Lu Fan left here with Li Cunxiao, Geng Yan, and Gu Qing and Gu Yue, grandfather and grandson, under the eyes of Dai Lang, Chuye and others.

Lu Fan is very relieved that Dai Lang, Chuye and others stay in Beimang Mountain.

After all, there is no waste among the people who stayed in Beimang Mountain. They are all elite among the elite.

As for supplies, there is no need to worry.

There is not much else in Beimang Mountain, but there is no shortage of cultivation resources and various survival supplies.

It is enough to just hunt beasts to eat.

After a few hours, Lu Fan and his five companions came to the southern exit of Beimang Mountain, which was the entrance where Lu Fan and others attacked Beimang Mountain.

Before, this place was occupied by Tuoba Jinqing and his 20,000 War Tiger Army, which firmly blocked the Zhenbei Army outside.

But now this entrance is occupied by 20,000 Zhenbei Army.

The two Zhenbei Army commanders, Ma Hu and Han Ke, who led the 20,000 War Tiger Army to guard here were none other than Ma Hu and Han Ke.

This was also Lu Fan's explanation before he left.

Before, the Zhenbei Army was only stationed in Beimang Pass, relying on Beimang Pass to defend against the enemy.

There is still a distance of several thousand meters between Beimang Pass and the southern entrance of Beimang Mountain.

This distance of several thousand meters is a buffer zone.

If the enemy comes out of Beimang Mountain, they can be discovered immediately and prepared in time.

Such defense is naturally no problem.

Because this buffer zone can buy enough time for the enemy to react when the enemy invades.

When the enemy rushed to the city, all defense preparations had been completed.

This is why the enemy invaded many times but failed to capture Beimang Pass.

After all, even a cavalry charge in this buffer zone of several thousand meters takes several minutes.

And these few minutes are enough for the defenders of Beimang Pass to prepare for the battle.

If it is just defense, there is naturally no problem in doing so.

But such a defense is too humiliating, and it is equivalent to giving up the territory at the doorstep to wait for the enemy to invade.

Lu Fan didn't care what the Zhenbei Army did before.

But now that he has become the lord of the northern border, he will never allow such a thing to happen.

Not only is the area behind Beimang Pass the territory of Daqian, but the area before Beimang Pass is also the territory of Daqian.

He even regarded the entire Beimang Mountain as the natural border of Daqian.

Although he could not control the entire Beimang Mountain, he had no problem controlling the area at the southern entrance of Beimang Mountain.

Ma Hu and Han Ke, who were directing the soldiers to build a treetop watchtower, immediately came up to meet Lu Fan and his party.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

Looking at the two people with excited smiles on their faces, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction.

"You did a great job!"

Before leaving, he simply told the two to build a defensive monitoring pass here.

As for how to do it, he didn't go into detail, just let the two do it on their own.

Unexpectedly, these two guys did a really good job.

Starting from the place 1,500 meters away from the entrance, a lot of watchtowers have been built.

And these watchtowers are large and small, and are distributed in different places.

Some are distributed on the top of the tree, some are set in the grass, and some are set in the trunk of the giant tree.

Although these watchtowers do not have much offensive effect, they can detect the enemy's movements at the first time.

Especially the movements of large-scale enemy forces.

In addition to these watchtowers used to monitor the enemy situation, several secret garrisons for garrisoning troops are also set up.

Each secret garrison can garrison about 200 soldiers.

And each garrison can cooperate and support each other, and can also gather in the shortest time.

These garrisons can be used as a resting place for soldiers at ordinary times, and they can be used as a place to hide soldiers after the war starts, and launch an unexpected attack on the enemy.

Although these have not been completely concealed, there is no problem with the general appearance.

Just doing this has made Lu Fan very satisfied.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness. This is what I should do. If there is anything wrong, please give me your advice."

Now they are completely in awe of Lu Fan and sincerely treat him as a commander.

"Let's continue to do this. We must make this area an indestructible first line of defense..."

After Lu Fan gave a brief explanation, he took Li Cunxiao and others to leave Beimang Mountain and headed straight for Beimang Pass...
