Chapter 65 Recording Merits

As dusk neared, the troop stopped again at a river beach.

To avoid another surprise attack, Yang Zhenshan directly ordered the carts to be arranged on the perimeter, forming a temporary camp.

Yang Zhenshan didn't know that the Northern barbarians were wreaking havoc along the supply route, but having encountered one attack, they naturally prepared to prevent another.

After nightfall, Yang Zhenshan forbid the soldiers and laborers to light fires; everyone drank the cold water prepared during the day and gnawed on hard, dry rations.

Fortunately, it was late June, and the nighttime temperature was relatively high, so even if they had to sleep in the open, everyone could endure it.

The night passed without incident, and at dawn the next day, the troop set out once more.

Had they not been ambushed the day before, they would have reached Fushan City today. But now they had wounded to care for, and it was certain they could not make it to Fushan City today.
