Fang Zhengzhi only had a basic understanding of the situation in the wind valley. This was also because of Teng Shisheng's introduction. As for the exact situation inside, he didn't see it for himself. Hence, he wasn't too sure at the moment.
However, he still felt that the position in front was special. Because, before he even neared, he could hear the whistling sound coming from within.
The entire wind valley looked like a huge mountain that was split in half by a sword, forming a narrow valley that could only allow ten people to walk side by side.
Furthermore …
Most importantly, the rock walls on both sides were covered in white frost.
Icicles covered the surface of the frost like spikes, making it impossible for people to get too close and climb up.
"Guard Fang, the wind valley is right in front. As long as we pass through the wind valley, we will reach the Icy Monkey Settlement." At this moment, Teng Shisheng walked beside Fang Zhengzhi and said softly.
"Is it easy to pass through the wind valley?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the wind valley in front of him, then looked at the mighty armoured soldiers behind him.
If he were to pass through the wind valley alone...
He naturally wouldn't ask too much. He would simply charge in angrily.
However, there were over forty thousand soldiers behind him. If he were to charge in head first, he would have to think twice. At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi more or less understood what it meant to be the commander of an army.
"It's not easy." Teng Shisheng shook his head without hesitation.
"There is a question that I don't quite understand." Fang Zhengzhi nodded. He had already guessed Teng Shisheng's answer and naturally wasn't too surprised.
"Guard Fang, please ask." Teng Shisheng replied respectfully.
"This wind valley is right in front of the Icy Monkey Settlement. To enter the Icy Monkey Settlement, we have to pass through the wind valley. However, this way, how do the people inside travel?" Fang Zhengzhi thought of this question.
"It's like this. The opening of the wind valley is controlled by the Icy Monkey Settlement. At the exit of the wind valley, there is a huge rock. If the huge rock is moved to the left, the wind in the wind valley will stop. However, if the huge rock is moved to the right, the wind in the wind valley will start. As for the exact reason, we aren't too sure. However, this has been the case for hundreds of years. "When Teng Shisheng heard Fang Zhengzhi's words, he explained.
"Move the huge rock?" Fang Zhengzhi's eyes lit up. In an instant, he seemed to have thought of something. "Isn't the Icy Monkey Settlement situated on an extremely open plain?"
"That's right. How did Guard Fang know? " When Teng Shisheng heard this, a look of shock appeared on his face. Because, he hadn't told Fang Zhengzhi the exact location and situation of the Icy Monkey Settlement.
"Hehe, I guessed it." Fang Zhengzhi smiled, and didn't explain too much to Teng Shisheng. After all, if he wanted to explain this, he would have to use his knowledge of physics.
In fact, special terrain like Wind Valley. It could be said that it required many coincidences. However, in Fang Zhengzhi's previous world, there were similar examples.
From a scientific point of view, wind is an invisible force of nature.
In many cases, the wind would become stronger or weaker depending on the terrain. For example, in a desert, once the wind started blowing, it would form a huge storm.
This was because the terrain was too open.
However, if there were two huge rocks in an open area, they would not be able to escape. Then, a vent would be formed between the two huge rocks.
The reason was that the boulder had blocked the path of the wind and forced the wind into the space between the two boulders.
The terrain of the Icy Monkey Settlement was vast. Furthermore, there were two huge rock mountains that seemed as if they had been cut by a knife. Hence, forming such a wind valley wasn't surprising at all.
As for using the boulder behind the wind valley to control the wind in the wind valley, the logic was actually the same. If the angle of moving the boulder was just right, it would change the path of the wind. It could cause the path of the wind to move upwards, hence no longer blowing into the wind valley. This way, the wind would stop.
Knowledge changes fate!
Fang Zhengzhi understood these principles. However, Teng Shisheng didn't. Hence, when he heard Fang Zhengzhi say that he was guessing, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi with a strange expression.
Teng Shisheng really didn't understand. How could such a thing be guessed?
Fang Zhengzhi didn't speak further. He was thinking of a way to defeat the wind valley.
On the other hand, when the group of scholars following behind the army saw Fang Zhengzhi's expression, they all revealed an expression as if they were waiting to watch a good show.
After all, in their hearts, Fang Zhengzhi relied on shameless schemes to achieve victory. But, in terms of truly defeating the enemy, that wasn't possible.
Even though they were now on the same boat as Fang Zhengzhi, but, in order for them to come up with a plan, Fang Zhengzhi still had to express something.
For example …
Sincerely asking them for advice, or perhaps, arrange a grand banquet, make a huge bow and say, "I can't do it, I still have to rely on you at the crucial moment!"
This was something that they hoped would happen.
However, Fang Zhengzhi clearly hadn't thought of this. At this moment, his gaze was continuously scanning the surrounding terrain of the wind valley, while his mind rapidly pondered.
This caused the group of scholars to be somewhat unable to sit still.
"Instead of thinking too much, it's better to ask more questions. As the commander of an army, you should know how to humbly ask for guidance. Being blindly arrogant is not something that a commander should do." One of the scholars quickly reminded.
"That's right, you haven't even fought a war before, why are you pretending to be profound!"
"If we really want to talk about war, we still have to learn a thing or two from Young Master Wu and Young Master Chen. Young Master Chen is a disciple of the Thirteen Constabularies, and has been familiar with military books since young."
"That's right, that's right. To defeat the wind valley, we can't barge in blindly. I suggest that it is better for everyone to sit down and discuss together."
When the scholars heard this, they all voiced out in agreement, waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to "change his mind" and humbly ask for advice from them.
When Fang Zhengzhi heard the voices behind him, a faint smile appeared on the edges of his mouth. He turned his head and looked at the group of scholars who were "unable to endure their thirst".
Of course, he knew what these people were thinking.
After being "killed" by a sneak attack or a force many times stronger than his own, it was definitely impossible for them to accept their defeat wholeheartedly.
"Since that's the case, then let's discuss how to defeat the wind valley together." Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to hear how this world would defeat the wind valley.
"I have a plan!" A scholar quickly stood out.
To these "scholars" who rarely had the chance to fight in actual battles, being able to display their ability to command troops in such a situation.
This would more or less be of some help to their results in the combat examination.
Most importantly, if they were able to make a contribution, if they really had the chance to enter the army in the future, it would definitely be a great "opportunity" to be promoted to a general.
"I have a plan too."
"Me too!"
When they saw a scholar stand out first, a few other scholars instantly fought to be the first to voice out.
On the other hand, when Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu saw this scene, their expressions were indifferent. They seemed somewhat enigmatic.
"Speak one by one, don't rush." It was rare for Fang Zhengzhi to see such "positive energy". In his heart, he thought that it was best not to dispel their enthusiasm.
"My plan is like this. The direction of the wind is blowing from the inside to the outside. Then, we can find some shield soldiers to defend at the front. With the shield soldiers defending at the front, we can naturally reduce the strength of the wind. "
"That's right, I agree with Young Master Li."
"Young Master Li's plan is indeed not bad. However, it is still somewhat lacking. It is indeed good to have the shield soldiers at the front. However, what if the wind in the wind valley is too strong and the shield soldiers can't defend against it? I suggest that we first build a gigantic "shield carriage" and have the soldiers push the shield carriage forward. That would be much more appropriate! "Another scholar added on.
"Good plan!"
"Shield carriage is good. I feel that it is best to build two shield carriages to prevent any changes!"
"Mm, not bad, I think it is feasible."
One by one, the scholars fought to express their opinions. The scholar who suggested building the shield carriage had a proud expression on his face. He was waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to act according to his plan.
When Fang Zhengzhi heard this, he neither agreed nor disagreed.
Instead, he looked towards Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu, waiting for their opinions.
Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu naturally saw Fang Zhengzhi look towards them. They turned their faces to one side, as if waiting for Fang Zhengzhi to beg them.
The edges of Fang Zhengzhi's mouth curved into a smile once again.
He didn't look at Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu again. Instead, he rode his horse slowly towards the direction of the wind valley.
When Wu Feng and Chen Feiyu saw this, they instantly became somewhat anxious.
"Don't tell me this Fang Zhengzhi is really preparing to build two shield carriages?" Wu Feng looked towards Chen Feiyu.
"I think that is really possible!" Chen Feiyu nodded.
"If that is the case, we will definitely lose this battle." Wu Feng began to worry. After all, they were now in the same boat as Fang Zhengzhi.
"We can't let him lose!" Chen Feiyu also thought of this problem. The expression on his face was extremely sullen.
He was really very sullen.
Being of the Supernatural State, he didn't even have the chance to display his powers before being taken down by Fang Zhengzhi's sneak attack. Now. Facing the wind valley, he was prepared to be slightly arrogant.
In the end …
Fang Zhengzhi actually didn't ask him.
How unbearable was this feeling of sullenness? It was as if you thought of an extremely good idea, but no one else used it. It was so frustrating.
"Fang Zhengzhi!" Chen Feiyu finally opened his mouth. His tone was clearly filled with anger. However, other than anger, he also seemed extremely helpless.
"What's the matter?" Fang Zhengzhi hadn't gone far. Hence, when he heard Chen Feiyu's shout, he turned around and looked at Chen Feiyu with a puzzled expression.
"I can offer you a plan. However, I have a condition!" Chen Feiyu gritted his teeth as he said this.
"A condition? Oh, then forget it. "Fang Zhengzhi smiled, turned around and continued to ride towards the wind valley.
"Forget it?!" Chen Feiyu completely didn't expect that his "kind" offer of a plan would be met with a "forget it".
This was simply even more humiliating than giving him a slap in the face.
Disdain!
This was a deep form of disdain, as well as an unreasonable disregard.
Chen Feiyu was extremely furious. Looking at the strange expressions on the faces of the surrounding scholars, his face flushed red.
"Fang Zhengzhi, building the shield carriage will only slow down the speed of the army. Furthermore, the wind in the wind valley is simply something you can't imagine. No shield carriage can withstand it!" At this moment, Chen Feiyu couldn't care less about the thoughts of the surrounding scholars and directly shouted out the disadvantages of the shield carriage.
"Oh." Fang Zhengzhi casually replied.
"Oh? What does' oh 'mean?! "Chen Feiyu really couldn't hold it in any longer.
He had already explained the disadvantages of the shield carriage, yet, Fang Zhengzhi actually only replied with 'oh'. What did this mean? What exactly did this mean!
"Fang Zhengzhi, my request is extremely simple. As long as you truthfully tell me that this plan was proposed by me after you pass the wind valley, I will be willing to tell you the method to defeat the wind valley!" Wu Feng looked at Chen Feiyu's sullen expression and smiled lightly as he spoke to Fang Zhengzhi.
He was all too clear about Fang Zhengzhi's shameless personality.
Negotiating terms with someone like Fang Zhengzhi?
This was simply holding a knife to Fang Zhengzhi's neck. No matter what, Fang Zhengzhi would never agree. Hence, he used the best word, request!
Furthermore, this request was actually a groundless request.
Because …
After the army passed through the wind valley, there would definitely be people from the army reporting that this plan came from Wu Feng. Hence, frankly speaking, this was merely an excuse for Wu Feng to give himself a way out of this embarrassing situation.
When Fang Zhengzhi heard Wu Feng's words, he finally stopped once again. Then, he turned his horse around and leisurely rode back.
When Wu Feng saw this, the smile on his face grew even wider.
He knew that Fang Zhengzhi definitely didn't have a plan to defeat the wind valley. However, Fang Zhengzhi was too shameless. Even if he wanted to ask, he had to ask while holding the upper hand.
From the bottom of his heart, he really hated shameless people like Fang Zhengzhi.
However …
He had no choice. He had to help Fang Zhengzhi pass through the wind valley. Furthermore, there was an even bigger reason why he took the initiative to suggest this.
That was, he was very clear that Chen Feiyu definitely had the same plan as him.
If he didn't say it, it would be equivalent to keeping this plan in his heart. When that time came, when the army reported Chen Feiyu's name, it would have nothing to do with him.
Very helpless.
However, Wu Feng's mentality was evidently better than Chen Feiyu's.
Looking at the problem from another angle, since he couldn't resist, then he might as well enjoy it. He enjoyed the feeling of Fang Zhengzhi following his plan.
From a certain point of view, it was actually equivalent to him defeating the wind valley.
Of course, if not for that incomparably shameful sneak attack in the Thunderous Lion Settlement, Wu Feng felt that his mentality would be even better.
"Damned Fang Zhengzhi, damned Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry!"
As Wu Feng cursed silently in his heart, Fang Zhengzhi returned to his original position. However, his gaze didn't look towards Wu Feng.
Instead, he turned towards Teng Shisheng with a radiant smile on his face.
"Teng Shisheng, listen up!" Fang Zhengzhi completely ignored Wu Feng and directly said to Teng Shisheng.
"Yes!" Teng Shisheng instantly replied.
