Chapter 1 The Yellow Sand Wanders Up
The yellow sand is long and the end is not in sight. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sky was blue, but there was no coolness, and a big fireball floated in the sky scorching everything on the ground.
At this high temperature, when an egg can be formed quickly, there was a sudden melodious camel bell. The sound came from far and near, and a huge camel caravan slowly appeared on the horizon of the yellow sand, which was a camel caravan of more than 500 people, 700 camels alone, and 500 horses followed behind the camel caravan.
Zhang Wuji was wearing a white robe, riding on a camel, there was not a trace of sweat on his face, and he was swaying forward with an old god. Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo followed, their whole bodies shrouded in a layer of white veil, and they wiped the beads of sweat on their foreheads with sweat towels from time to time.
Wei Yixiao and Zhuang Zheng were impressively in the ranks, and the five hundred men with bows and swords behind them were none other than the Ruijin Banner Sect members.
After the slaughter of the Mongolian 10,000-strong team that day, the Five Elements Banner was the most busy because they had to tidy up the battlefield, but Zhang Wuji and the others returned to Guangmingding.
There were many dead horses on the battlefield, and they were all carried to the Guangming Ding Gang Compound. That night, the bonfire in Guangmingding Square burned all night, and twenty large iron pots more than one meter wide were propped up, and large pieces of horse meat were grunted in them all night, and that night was a night of revelry. The meat tube is enough, although the meat quality of horse meat is average, but in these years, it is already God's grace to be able to eat meat.
Zhang Wuji stayed in the square for a while, then went back to his small courtyard, teasing the second daughter is naturally not short, after the war, the mood is relaxed, he is detached, and he took down Zhou Zhiruo that night, angry Xiao Zhao scolded the son for being a big pervert, Zhang Wuji laughed happily, but Zhou Zhiruo was too ashamed to get up.
The next day, the results of this battle came out, and the Five Elements Banner lost another sixty-eight brothers, the southeast branch lost thirty-one brothers, and only four hundred and eighty-one of the six hundred and twelve captives remained. There were a total of 1,000 and 3 Mongolian surrendered soldiers, and after discussing it, Peng Yingyu came out to pick the head, and the slave camp was handed over to him, and the others assisted, and they were not scattered, and after reporting to the sect leader, Zhang Wuji also agreed.
A total of 6,836 horses and 18,621 horses were captured.
There were 5,000 Mongolian military tents, 12,000 quintals of grain, 20,000 catties of dried meat, more than 9,000 armor and knives, and a number of other supplies. All the corpses were stripped and thrown into the fire for a day and a night before they were burned.
In fact, there is no need for Zhang Wuji to order, this is a time of shortage of materials, the Mingjiao sect advocates frugality, and they will not waste the slightest, even the underwear on these corpses is also a good thing after cleaning, and some people wear it.
This battle played out the confidence of the Mingjiao people, filled their pockets, and it can be said that they were rich and happy. The feelings of the cultists on the top of the light towards the sect leader quickly changed, and the eyes that looked at him were more respectful and more worshipful.
After only three days of cultivation after the war, Zhang Wuji led the fully replenished Ruijin Banner to embark on the westbound road, and the destination was of course the hidden place of the King Kong Gate, accompanied by Wei Yixiao. Xiao Zhao and Zhou Zhiruo naturally couldn't be left behind, and Hou Cheng led the guards to accompany them.
Yang Xiao and others were stationed at Guangmingding, and at the same time probed the movements of the Mongolian court, so that they could respond in time. At this time, they already knew that among the invading enemies was the military chief of the Mongol court stationed in the Western Regions, and the loss of this position and a team of 10,000 people would definitely not give up easily, and the Western Regions might rise again. Therefore, the Ming Sect began to openly recruit believers in the Western Regions and expand its power.
The Eagle King and the Wusanren stayed on the top of the light and began to study the yoga sutra translated by Yang Xiao, which was engraved on a stone wall at the top of the light by Zhang Wuji with supreme finger power, so that all Ming disciples could rest.
Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, Wusanren, Heaven and Earth, Wind and Thunder, and the four banners left behind began to practice, reorganizing their armaments day and night, and recuperating their strength.
The hiding place of King Kong Gate is in the northwest of Guangming Peak, thousands of miles away, and most of the distance is desert, so Zhang Wuji and others prepared a large number of camels, but the cavalry charging camels are not as good as war horses, so they brought five hundred war horses, so ordinary people can know the extraordinary nature of this team at a glance.
This is also Zhang Wuji's deliberate, the battle at the mountain gate not only played out the confidence of the ordinary members of the Ming Sect, but also his confidence is enough, in this vast Western Regions, he can pick a Mongolian elite team of 10,000 people alone, naturally he is much more assured and bold.
From then on, the Holy Religion began to become clear in the Western Regions, openly winning over the followers and expanding its power, which was also a resolution formed by the top level of the Ming Sect, in order to echo the anti-Yuan uprising in the Central Plains, in order to reduce the pressure on the Central Plains rebels, because most of the attention of the Mongolian court was still in the hinterland of the Central Plains.
Therefore, whether it is Zhang Wuji's white robe or the standard clothing of the Ruijin Banner, there is a dazzling flame symbol on the chest, and those who are familiar with the rivers and lakes know that this is the emblem of Mingjiao.
Sooner or later, the news of the battle at the mountain gate will inevitably shock the Mongols and wake up the people who have a heart in the Western Regions. The expedition to King Kong Gate is to solve the troubles, and the second is to tell the people in the Western Regions that Mingjiao is back openly.
Over the years, Mingjiao has been suppressed by the Mongolian court and the martial arts, although the flame on the top of the light is not extinguished, but it is impossible to preach openly and honestly, with the help of this war, Mingjiao made this major decision.
Zhuang Zheng looked at the big fireball in the sky, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, drove the camel to run a few steps, rushed to the sect leader's side, and said, "Sect leader, the team has been marching all night, the sun is getting fuller, it's time to camp and rest." ”
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhuang Zheng, you are the flag envoy of Ruijin Banner, this expedition to King Kong Gate, the matter of the army is up to you to decide, don't ask me about this kind of thing, you can decide for yourself, I, the sect leader, will also listen, no need to report again and again." ”
"Obey the orders of the Lord, and my subordinates know what to do." As soon as Zhuang Zheng pulled the reins, the camel took two steps slower, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to set up camp." ”
It was a gentle place for them to camp, and the caravan soon stopped, and the brothers of Ruijinqi began to set up tents, which were of very good quality from the Mongols.
It has been two days since leaving the bright top, just one day into the desert, and the appreciation when I first saw the desert is gone, it is already the end of April, and the temperature in the desert can reach up to 40 degrees during the day, but it suddenly drops to about zero degrees at night, and the temperature difference is very large.
