Eight hundred cavalry, two thousand four hundred horses, from the books seems to be a very capable assault force, but these eight hundred people in the vast desert like a drop in the ocean, no backup, no supplies, led by a seventeen-year-old boy who has never been in battle, the odds of winning this battle are too small. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The troops marched more than ten miles, and the team began to whisper, the veterans are all old fritters who have been mixed on the field for decades, how can they not distinguish the nature of the task, light and rushed, three war horses per person, no matter how you look at it, it is the rhythm of a thousand miles of running, but such a major task should send elite soldiers is, what kind of configuration is this, the little general with no experience and prestige, hundreds of forty or fifty-year-old soldiers, this is not a rush, it is to die.

Gradually, the noise became louder and louder, the whole team fell into a mood of pessimism and suspicion, the survival rate of the frontier soldiers was extremely low, these veterans had gone through countless tests of life and death, all of them came out of the sea of corpses and blood, and finally retreated to the second line, serving as a large battalion to stay, and now they were taken out to death by the general's nephew's false order, how could they easily comply.

Huo Quzhi was unaware, in his impression, the soldiers were a group of puppets without any self-consciousness, obeying orders, military orders were like mountains, beheading at every turn, no one dared to disobey and doubt the orders of the boss, so when several military marquis under him questioned it, he was furious and held the hilt of the sword with his hand.

"It's just military training, you are all veterans of a hundred battles, and you are even afraid of training like this?" A familiar voice sounded next to him, it was the teacher who was talking, Liu Yanzhi was dressed in leather armor, with an iron helmet on his head, and his eyes were in the shadow of the helmet, he appeared as Huo Quai's personal guard, and others did not suspect it.

"Yes, training." Huo went to the sick road.

After hearing this, they were relieved, and they dispersed, and the team continued to move forward.

"I should have beheaded them!" Huo Qu said hatefully, after all, he was a seventeen-year-old boy, and his understanding of how to manage his subordinates was very simple and rude.

"Kill these military marquis, who will lead you with troops?" Liu Yanzhi said softly, "For the generals, the most important thing is to give hope to the subordinates." ”

Huo Quzhi seems to understand whether he understands or not, this time the small setback makes him not very happy, whip on the horse's buttocks, gallop on the horse, riding is not a talent, it is completely practice makes perfect, the Huns have grown up on horseback since childhood, and they can shoot rabbits with small bows and arrows at the age of five or six, but how can the Han family have this condition, the cavalry are only in contact with war horses after enlistment, and the riding skills can be compared to the Huns, and Huo Quzhi's living environment is very superior, the boy has followed his uncle to learn to ride a horse since he was a child, and his kung fu is not bad, The soldiers saw that the master was skilled in bowing and horses, and he was not a noble son who was powerless in his imagination, and this trip was just a training, and a heart was put back in his stomach.

The night passed, the freshness of Huo Quai's illness also passed, the sequelae of riding on horseback for a long time came out, his delicate ass was blistered by the saddle, and the sides of his thighs were also red and swollen, and the march was extremely hard, not to mention the wind and sand, and the food was also poor, just to be full.

The life of the soldiers was very hard, even if they were stationed in the camp, they only ate some corn porridge, flour cakes and pickles, and occasionally some melons and fruits and non-staple foods, and only before the expedition and after the great victory were there wine and meat rewards, and they rarely consumed animal protein on weekdays, and they could not even eat hot rice when marching and fighting, only dry and hard dead flour cakes and pickles that could be stored hard.

Military pickles are complicated to make, take a foot of coarse cloth, soak it in a liter of old vinegar, expose it to drying, cut it into an inch long scale, put the vinegar cloth in your mouth and chew it dry when eating, so as to increase your appetite, or use three liters of tempeh to pound it into a paste, add five liters of salt to twist it into a cake, dry it, and eat a piece as big as a jujube core for a meal.

With such a coarse food, Huo Quai, who grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, was really hard to swallow, he said that he was not hungry, and he didn't eat a mouthful of dry food, but the sound of grumbling in his stomach betrayed him.

The soldiers handed over the water bladder, and Huo Quzhi took a sip and spit it out: "What kind of water is this?" ”

"Pond water." The soldiers replied that the well water brought out of the camp had been drunk, and now the water bladder was filled with water from the oasis pond, which was a place for wild horses, wild asses and wild camels to drink water on weekdays.

"How can people drink this kind of water, it's not worth washing their faces!" Huo Quzhi asked, as soon as these words came out, countless eyes were cast around, and the soldiers had chapped lips, dark faces, and dirty hands holding flour cakes, carefully drinking precious water, this small pond could not supply eight hundred cavalry, more than two thousand horses to drink, it was already rare to be able to drink a sip of water.

"Give them a reward." Huo Qu was ill and weak, he finally knew the hardships of fighting, this was just a march, and he didn't encounter the Huns.

But he would rather die of thirst than drink water that smells of camel dung.

A big gourd was handed in front of him, and Huo Quzhi raised his eyes to see that it was the teacher's gentle eyes.

"I said it, don't drink it." Huo went to the sick road.

The gourd pulled out the stopper, and a sweet smell came to my nose, it was rice wine.

"Where's the rice wine?" Huo Qu was overjoyed, took the gourd and drank a big sip, he was still unsatisfied, and drank a few more sips, then he remembered the teacher.

"Teacher, please." Huo Quzhi dedicated his gourd hands to Liu Yanzhi.

"Share weal and woe with the soldiers, and win the hearts of the army." Liu Yanzhi said.

Huo Qu was a little sick, and asked the soldiers to take a gourd to reward those veterans with a sip, and sure enough, the harvest was jubilant, although there was very little wine, and there were only a dozen people who could get rid of it, but a general who was willing to share the wine with his subordinates was always welcome.

Liu Yanzhi took out a golden roast leg of lamb from the sleeve of his robe, Huo Qu was salivating, took the leg of lamb and feasted on it, and finally filled his stomach.

The 800 cavalry continued to march north after a full meal, and the soldiers were full of suspicions, and they were going forward to be the territory of the Huns, in case they encountered the Hun scouts, and then attracted the enemy's army, these 800 lives had to stay here.

A few war horses approached Huo Quai, and the military marquis persuaded bitterly: "Lord Captain, there is no road any further, go deep into the desert, you can't find a water source, and you are dying of thirst." ”

Huo Quzhi pointed with a horsewhip: "There is a Fuquan fifty miles away." ”

The military marquis looked at each other, this is too casual, the spring oasis in the desert is very rare, and there are few references on the surface, only the most experienced guides can accurately find the water source on the way, but that is limited to the road that has been explored, but the road that Huo Quzhi took is completely a new road without traces of herders, just imagine, how can there be a water source in an area that even shepherds dare not go into.

However, the captain swore that he would collect his troops and return to the camp if he could not find a water source, and the marquis had no choice but to persuade the soldiers that the procession had gone forward for another fifty miles.

The oasis was very small, with only a dozen trees, a clump of green grass and a pond with a radius of no more than thirty paces, but fortunately this pond was connected to the underground river, and it did not dry up no matter how much it was drunk, and the eight hundred soldiers were full of water, and the cattle were also full, and even the water bladder was full, and when the night came, before setting off again, everyone settled the dinner on horseback.

Liu Yan took out a pot of rice wine and a roast leg of mutton, and Huo Quzhi finally realized that the teacher did have immortal skills, not only could he accurately find the water source, but also conjure wine and meat out of thin air.

"Master, can you conjure up some more, so that all the soldiers of the army can eat meat and drink wine." Huo Quzhi was full of expectations, but the answer he got was no.

"As a teacher, my mana is limited, so I can only take care of your own food and drink." Liu Yan said straight.

The wine and meat were not conjured up by him, but bought from the city of Hedong County, thousands of miles away, the quantity was small, it was okay, it was difficult for him to bring eight hundred leg of mutton, as for the search for water source, as long as he flew high in the air and looked, the oasis within a radius of a hundred miles was in full view, and there was no possibility of getting lost.

This time, Huo Quzhi learned wisely, shared the wine and meat with the soldiers, and asked the teacher again, what to do next.

"It's time to tell everyone." Liu Yan said straightly, "Your prestige has been established, and now is the best time." ”

So Huo Qubing summoned the middle and lower-level officers, announced to them the true purpose of the trip, and rushed thousands of miles to attack the Hun royal court, everyone showed an expression of "I already knew", the matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to oppose it, the team has gone deep into the desert, and can only go one way to the dark.

"Obey the orders of the captain." The officers spoke in unison.

"From tomorrow onwards, speed up the pace, Marshall people will not stop, and go straight to the royal court! Those who do not obey military orders will be killed! Huo Quzhi drew his sword and stuck it in the sand.

The 800 cavalry rested for three hours, and set foot on the journey again, the front is no longer the Gobi Desert, but an endless quicksand, the quicksand is like water, changing with the wind, there are still dots of green on the Gobi, the quicksand area is full of yellow, when the wind blows, the sky and the sun are obscured, the direction is unknown, and it is completely the place of death.

But only by taking this road can we avoid the Huns' soldiers, this is the hinterland of the Huns, the nomads are fighting at the door of their homes, familiar with the environment, and all the routes that the Han army will pass through have been figured out, hundreds of thousands of troops are divided into defenses, and they will bite back when they see the opportunity, who would have thought that a strange army is passing through the desert area, like a sharp dagger, stretching out to the soft lower abdomen of the Huns from the most unbelievable angle.

After tearing off the camouflage of "training", everything entered a state of imminent battle, 800 cavalry eating, drinking, and Lazar were on horseback, and whoever could not keep up with the team would be left behind, and the outcome of being thrown in the desert can be imagined, in fact, some soldiers did not have the physical strength to keep up with the brigade, and were left to fend for themselves in the desert.

The three hundred miles of desert devoured the lives of more than 200 soldiers and 500 war horses, and the rest were tough guys who had undergone the test of life and death, from their will to their bodies.

After the six hundred knights came out of the desert, the image could not be seen at all the shadow of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty, they looked like herdsmen who had lived in the desert for many years, with scruffy beards, foul smells all over their bodies, and their robes were dirty, and the only thing that could distinguish their identities was the ring-head knife made of fine iron.

Only Huo Quzhi did not suffer any grievances, even in the desert, he still drank rice wine and ate lamb legs every day, and occasionally had melons, fruits, pears and peaches, others even saved drinking water, but he had enough water to wash his face, as well as a clean change of clothes, Liu Yanzhi was completely a spoiling father of his son at the moment, and he did not want his son to be wronged at all, and he had to deliberately establish his prestige and make contributions.

This goal is getting closer and closer, and if you go another fifty miles, you will be alone in the royal court.

Shan Yu Wang Court is not a fixed location, the nomads live in the water and grass, the royal court is also mobile, it is difficult for the Han army to find the location of the royal court, now the main force of the Han army is hundreds of miles away, the inside of the royal court is peaceful, only more than 2,000 old and weak women and children are waiting for their sons and husbands to return triumphantly.

But what they were waiting for was the butcher's knife of the Han army.
