436. The two armies met

Chin Khan City.

Zheng Zong's journey to the city of Chin Khan with the caravan was not so smooth. After all, he was an outsider, and the leader would be kind to him, and most of them were for the sake of Hemulan, who could fight, and He Mullan left the group under the pretense of chasing the horse thief, and took a valuable camel with him, and the leader of the caravan did not have a good face for him.

If he hadn't revealed that he was an official of Qin Khan City, because the wind and sand were difficult to fall into the desert, and he brought more than a dozen villagers with messy wells, he would not have survived to Qin Khan City.

But when he arrived at Qin Khan City, Zheng Zong did not enter the City Lord's Mansion as easily as he imagined.

His appearance was ruined, sloppy, unkempt, and he didn't know where all the things he was carrying to prove his identity were blown by the wind, and he only had a rock sword as a token, but he couldn't hold it, so he could only tie it behind his back with a rope and carry it on his back.

So when he came to the city lord's mansion with a dozen villagers, they only regarded him as a madman with some bad nerves, and no matter what he said, they were unwilling to help him pass it on.

It is conceivable that the villagers who had messed up the well had spent a great deal of money to follow him to the city of Chin Khan, but the fact was that they were not as angry and suspicious as He Mulan had promised before.

These people even think they are being fooled and taken advantage of.

However, Feng Heng was not in the city, Liu Yuanzong was busy with affairs, and he had to dispatch materials and deal with city affairs, Zheng Zong waited for a long time on the street of the City Lord's Mansion and did not wait for him, and his heart was even more anxious.

He had no choice but to carry the rock sword and take the villagers to Liziyuan to make noise, because He Mulan's tiger army had been stationed in Liziyuan for a long time, and many people remembered the heavy rock sword beside her.

And Zheng Zong's bet was right, there are still the people of the Tiger Ben Army in Lizi Garden, although they were injured and moved back to Lizi Garden by Feng Heng, but as soon as they heard that He Mulan's saber had arrived, these people who thought that Hua Mulan and the Tiger Ben Army who had disappeared in the desert were boiling.

As a companion to the army to heal the wounded, the Master of Compassion also returned to the city of Qin Khan, responsible for taking care of the wounded, and as soon as he heard that someone outside the Lizi Garden was holding a rock sword and claiming to be the interpreter Zheng Zong, he immediately rushed out of the Lizi Garden.

"Amitabha, I know that a good person like the flower donor will definitely be blessed by the Buddha, and the Zheng donor is also lucky, there is no major event."

As soon as Master Compassion saw Zheng Zong's scarred face, he guessed what had happened, and many people in the Tiger Ben Army had injured their faces in this wind and sand.

These people may not be able to be high-ranking generals for the rest of their lives, and they can't enter the direct guard of the Son of Heaven with a crippled face, and Zheng Zong is unlikely to be an official in the future, so he regrets it in his heart, but he is a monk after all, and he doesn't have much feeling about the secular official position, so he just said with a smile on his face: "What about General Hua?" Where are you now? ”

"General Hua found out the whereabouts of the Sand Wind Thief, he thought that the Tiger Ben Army should still be around the Wind City, so he followed the Sand Wind Thief to find the Wind City, I was worried that he was in danger, so I followed the caravan back to deliver the news, hoping to send reinforcements to meet the general's ......"

Zheng Zong looked at the Master of Compassion and continued to speak with some urgency: "What about General Liu?" I want to see him! And Captain Feng Hengdu! ”

"The Tiger Ben Army is indeed still near Windy City, if the general finds Windy City, he can find the Tiger Ben Army stationed nearby, don't worry......

Seeing that Zheng Zong's mouth was full of bubbles, Master Compassion knew that he must have been very anxious during this time, so he hurriedly comforted: "Captain Feng has been going back and forth between the desert and Qin Khan City, personally transporting supplies for the Tiger Army, and the news is also transmitted back every three days. ”

"Jingzhong sent people to Qin Khan City to investigate the news of the Beiliang Mission, General Liu is preparing for the entry of people and horses into the city every day, and he also needs a guide to enter the desert, and he is busy until the evening every day, and I will take you to see him early tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow?"

Zheng Zong shook his head.

"I can't wait, I'm going to see you soon."

“…… I think you'd better pick yourself up. The man Gu who had broken his hand couldn't help but sigh when he saw Zheng Zong's appearance, "You let the people of the City Lord's Mansion see it like this now, and you still think that General Hua has encountered an accident, and if you come back to hand over the relics, it will be bad if it is passed out." I'm afraid General Liu is busy greeting people today, and we don't know where he is, so we can only send a letter to the city lord's mansion first, and make an appointment to meet tomorrow morning before we can meet people. What's more, these friends behind you ......"

He pointed to the villagers who were messing around with the wells.

"They have a merit in escorting you out, don't you have to at least settle it? I could already hear their stomachs growling. ”

Zheng Zong blushed and touched his stomach.

They ran after him, and indeed they didn't eat for a day.

And after a long journey from the desert, everyone looks like a refugee.

Zheng Zong, who finally saw his acquaintance, suddenly relaxed, and then thought that he was really not suitable for meeting people like this, and if these villagers were impatient, they might cause trouble.

They didn't know Xianbei words, only Xiongnu dialects and Di dialects, so they didn't know what Mangu and Zhengzong were talking about, but they saw Mangu pointing to their stomachs, as if he was saying something to get them something to eat, and they all nodded happily.

It wasn't until they entered this place like a garden where the gods lived that they really believed that Zheng Zong was indeed a nobleman, and when they were rushed around like a madman in front of the City Lord's Mansion before, they really wanted to beat Zheng Zong and leave.

Relaxed this time, Zheng Zong was also tired, sleepy and hungry, the things he encountered during this time were enough to withstand all the things he encountered in such a big life, and the encounter in the desert made him die for Mulan, so when he thought that Mulan would have something, he really didn't even want to bring the news back.

Now that I heard that Mangu and Compassion would arrange things, and I heard that Feng Heng had already led people into the desert and met the Tiger Army, and even the casualties were sent back to Qin Khan City, I expected that with He Mulan's caution (?) The biggest possibility is that he has already joined the Tiger Ben Army, and his heart is even more stable, so he listened to the words of the Master of Compassion and them, and took the men to have a meal first, and then rested.

This dip on the pillow, Zheng Zong remembered that he hadn't slept on a pillow for a long time, and it was never a good errand to go to other countries, but the difficulties of this trip were really beyond his imagination.

It turned out that so many people died in the Tiger Ben Army......

It turned out that he guessed correctly, there was indeed something wrong with the old mulberry......

It turned out that Princess Xingping was not found, and the prince was not found......

Zheng Zong thought about some messy things, and then thought about his future in the future, and fell asleep with a sad face.

"What should I do, the army from Pingcheng will arrive tomorrow, City Lord Liu will leave the city early tomorrow morning, there is no way to see him, should we wake up Zheng Zong and send him to the City Lord's Mansion now?"

The man sent by the Barbarians to report the news came back and brought this news to the Master of Compassion.

"Master Zheng just fell asleep, I just went in to take a look, and by the way, I gave him a pulse. He had lost too much blood before, his injuries were not healed and he had traveled a long way, his body was too empty, and the whole person was already wasted and ruthless, and if he didn't rest, it would be detrimental to his future life, so don't wake him up, he ...... too."

The Master of Compassion sighed.

"It's not easy."

Thinking of Zheng Zong's incomplete injuries on his body and face, and then thinking about how he didn't know how to bring back such a heavy rock, the two fell silent.

This person is indeed obscene and annoying, and he always has a bad heart and is not upright enough, but at least he is righteous towards his friends.

"Then let him rest first, I'll get up early tomorrow morning, go to see City Lord Liu outside the city, and see who is coming from Jingzhong by the way."

Mangu moved his broken shoulder.

"It's okay to ride a horse with one hand."

Waiting for the early morning of the second day, the ancient man set off to the city lord's mansion before dawn, but Liu Yuanzong actually led the army to set off in the middle of the night and went a hundred miles away.

Mangu fell into the air, and it was too late to chase it out, so he could only wait in the city, who expected that the army did not enter the city lord's mansion at all, and directly opened Liziyuan, Mangu heard that the commander and deputy marshal of the army were Su Hejun and Di Yefei, where could they take care of others, and they ran to Liziyuan on horseback.

It's Di Yefei, no wonder he went to Liziyuan without even being polite!

That's great!

***

Zheng Zong slept very deeply, he felt that this sleep was like a desolation, and even when he woke up, he felt that he was still in a dream, and his head was dizzy.

'Why is it still dark?' ’

He opened his eyes and saw that it was dark in front of him, but only a moment later, he immediately realized that it was not dark, but someone sitting in front of his couch!

Zheng Zong was so shocked that he immediately came to his senses, and then looked at it, there was a woman in men's clothes sitting in front of his couch, whose appearance was so beautiful that Zheng Zong even thought that he was dazzled, but his skin was not very good, and his expression was too strict, which ruined the beauty on his face.

When I saw it again, Na Liren was holding the rock she had placed at the head of the bed and caressing, and then Zi Deng sat up angrily.

"Are you a palace man in Reiko Garden? Dare to touch the things of General Hua! What about the guards guarding the door, are they blind? What about people? Come! ”

"No one, I let them leave, I wanted to ask you about General Hua's situation, but I found that you were sleeping too soundly, so I simply waited for you."

Na Liren did not let go, but put the sword directly in his hand, turned his head sideways and talked to Zheng Zong, as if the sword had been kept by him from now on.

Zheng Zong has a bit of a fetish, so he only collected Mulan's profane clothes before, and then he was entrusted to take the rock sword back, and put it by his side day and night as Mulan.

"Who are you? Give the rock back! That's my sword! ”

"This is Mulan's sword, you are thin and weak, you can't protect it, and now it's in my custody."

The beauty in men's clothes raised her hand and easily brushed Zheng Zong's body back to the bed.

"I'm going to Beiliang right away anyway, and I'll bring the sword back for you."

"Who the hell are you?"

Zheng Zonghu looked at Di Yefei suspiciously, his face full of astonishment.

"Are women going to Beiliang too?"

General Hana's admirer is too crazy, isn't it? Are you going to chase it to Beiliang?

Thinking of Hemulan's admirers, Zheng Zong's temper became even worse.

When Zheng Zong arrived at Huafu, it happened to be when Di Yefei was sent by He Mulan to find the coal mine, and when she left Beijing, Zheng Zong was in a group of interpreters in Honglu Temple to accept Tuobatao's farewell, and he didn't see He Mulan and Di Yefei and his fire companions to say goodbye, and naturally they didn't know what this "woman-like" Di Yefei looked like.

Therefore, when the person in front of him grinned, Zheng Zongzhen had the urge to scold his mother.

What a laugh!

It's amazing!

His generals don't love women!

"You don't know who I am?" He smiled with interest in his eyes, "I seem to have forgotten my name." I am the high-ranking tiger Benzuo Sima who came to Beijing to greet the mission, Mulan's former military companion, and Mulan's best friend ......"

"I'm Di Yefei."

Chapter 436

"Frustrated and Dead?" Su Hejun got the news sent back by Feng Heng, and asked again in disbelief. "Are you sure you heard me right?"

"Yes, the news from the envoy of Beiliang that Muqian hopes to be granted by our country, and is willing to re-send the princess and relatives to consolidate the relationship between the two countries."

Feng Heng's face was full of helplessness, "Queen Meng and Lao Sang Tou are too poisonous, the Tiger Ben Army has suffered such heavy casualties, and they have to run away in frustration, otherwise where would there be so many things now." ”

As long as he brings back Fuqu Bodhi, and then delays the holy decree of conferring the seal, Fuqu Muqian will not be able to sit in that position at all, and he will live in fear that Fuqu Bodhi will borrow troops at any time to fight back.

"It's important to welcome the Tiger Army back now, and the matter of the Fuqu Muqian will be decided after consultation with the ministers of the DPRK and China." Su Hejun was worried that the death of Fuqu Mengxun would make the situation in Bei Liang somewhat turbulent, "This time there is such a big thing, it is impossible for Bei Liang to have no news at all, if he wants to ascend the throne, he will wait for the bloodletting first." ”

His Majesty couldn't have given him a book just like that, so many people died, how could those dowries and new princesses be enough? It can't just be left at that.

Kou Qianzhi shook his head violently after watching the stars at night.

"We have to go quickly, General Hua is in danger."

"Dangerous?"

"Danger?!"

Di Yefei was startled, Zheng Zong beside him couldn't help but cry out.

Kou Qianzhi is accustomed to looking at anger, this is his ability to look after the family, and he was the one who said that Mulan was okay before, so everyone was reassured, and now he said that General Hua was in danger, and everyone sweated.

Di Yefei and Su Hejun immediately ordered troops to prepare to set off, first to welcome back the Huben army, and then said, if there was no arrival on the way, they would go directly to Guzang to find the trouble of Fuqu Muqian, and let them mobilize the state towns in Beiliang Yanbian to find the trace of the mission.

With Feng Heng's guidance, the Gaoche Tiger Benjun would not get lost in the desert at all, although Zheng Zong had just returned. But he still insisted on setting off with the army.

He begged Feng Heng for favors, and placed the dozen or so people who were in trouble with the wells to go to Tuntian and live in the city of Qin Khan, which could be regarded as having his own property and living up to their trust.

Zheng Zong is familiar with the path and knows many languages, Di Yefei originally thought that his martial arts were not high and his body was weak, and he was afraid that it would slow down the speed of the march, but after a few days of walking, he found that Zheng Zong was very able to endure hardships, even if he was right away day and night, he did not cry out for bitterness, and his heart inevitably changed his opinion of him, and the relationship between the two began to become familiar.

Zheng Zong originally loved beautiful faces, and being attracted to Mulan was purely influenced by his personality charm, otherwise there would be no previous action against Helian Mingzhu.

It's just that now his appearance has been ruined, his face is hideous, although he is still obscene, but occasionally looking at Di Yefei's admiring and envious eyes, it is automatically attributed to "He is disfigured, seeing Di Yefei's face must be very ashamed of his defilement, and his heart is painful", but sympathized with him, and did not feel that his peeking at Di Yefei was very abnormal.

Di Yefei has become accustomed to being peeked at by others, and Zheng Zong and Hua Mulan have been together for a long time, so they can't help but have some love for the house and Wu, and they take care of him and are harmonious.

On the third day, a scout suddenly came back to report that the dust was rolling in the north, and it seemed that there was an army at war, and this news made the Gaoche Tiger army quickly speed up and go towards the north of the oasis.

***

Hermulan now even has the heart to swear.

I don't know what went wrong, since the day before yesterday, the tiger army led by her has been harassed by unknown teams, but they brought a large amount of treasure in Windy City, which became the biggest burden for her trip, and she couldn't go fast at all, so she could only be forced to keep defending, which further slowed down the speed of the march.

Many people in the Tiger Ben army were originally confused when they met the envoys leaving the group, the right Sima Yuan broke the Qiang and took away a lot of people and horses, and Queen Meng, plus the team has basically not rested in the past few days, if it weren't for the fact that the Tiger Ben army is all elite and absolutely obedient to He Mulan's dispatch, I'm afraid there will be a problem now.

"They haven't left yet?"

He Mulan had just rested for half an hour when he heard those people appear nearby again, and hurriedly got up to ask about the situation.

"Obviously trying to exhaust us." Na Luo Hun also had dark circles under his eyes, and he returned to Qin Khan City to recuperate from his injuries, and He Mulan's usual guard refused to fake other people's hands, so he was also very tired.

"I'm afraid I got the news and came for those dowries."

Fortunately, when Yuan Poqiang left, all the camels were left, and these camels originally carried all the dowries of Princess Xingping and were still rotated, but now the dowry is less than eighty percent, so it is naturally more moving.

The huge camel team was extremely conspicuous in the desert, but the Tiger Army, in addition to the dead, missing, and many wounded soldiers, returned to the city of Chin Khan to recuperate, and now there are only more than 1,000 people left by Hemulan's side, and the manpower is not enough.

Because of the drag of the baggage, He Mullan and his party marched slowly and had to disperse the team to protect the treasure, and these men and horses who didn't know where they came from were like hyenas chasing their prey, each of which had seven or eight hundred people, harassing day and night, not giving the tiger army time to rest at all, and if it continued like this, there would be no combat effectiveness at all.

"We've got to figure out a way to get them all out and get them all out at once." He Mulan rubbed his temples, the long-term lack of sleep had driven him crazy. "The swallow here is a ground snake, what does the swallow say?"

"Yanzi said that it is not this horse thief on the road, looking at the style of acting, it is like those big sand thieves and horse thieves in the west, the caravans of the countries of the Western Regions to Guzang and Dunhuang are actually more dangerous on the road, because the sand sea over there is much larger than this side, and the horse thieves are out of nowhere day and night, and they often follow and follow the caravan and harass them until the caravan is exhausted and ......then attacks in groups."

Na Luo Hun's face was heavy.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid the news of Windy City's treasures in our army has spread."

"Probably the cloak of blood that ran away." Gai Wu suddenly spoke, "The Sand Wind Thief has been hit hard, his strength has been greatly damaged, and he can only take refuge in other horse thieves, and he needs this wealth to gain a foothold. ”

"There's no point in talking about that now." Na Luo Hun also has a headache. "We haven't closed our eyes much for two days and two nights, and the number of people on the other side is unknown, and they are harassing in batches, but we can't let our guard down, and every harassment may turn into a real sneak attack."

"Is there enough water and grass?"

In addition to the men, there were many horses that were exhausted. Horses need a lot of water and bean feed to hurry, otherwise they will foam at the mouth and die, He Mulan's Yue Ying has lost weight since entering Beiliang, and it can no longer be delayed, otherwise it will affect the life of the horse.

"There is enough water, and the food can be used for another five days, as long as it is grass for the horses. It is already autumn, and even the oasis in the desert does not have much grass to feed the horses, and the fresh forage that was originally transported has now been dried by the high temperature, so it is better to go back to Chin Khan as much as possible. Fortunately, the two thousand horses that Bei Liang paid tribute to were fine, and King Liang's horses were indeed carefully selected. ”

Most of the war horses ridden by the Tiger Ben Army are Mongolian horses, which have good endurance, are gregarious and are not easy to get sick, but their explosive power is not very strong. Beiliang's horses are tall and easy to train, but they lose weight quickly, and their endurance is not as good as that of the Tiger Army.

In order to allow these horses in Beiliang to return to China, the Tiger Ben Army barely used them to carry weights and run long distances, and they were in good shape.

Hearing that there was enough water and sufficient food and grass, but the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Ben Army couldn't hold it back, He Mulan thought about it carefully and summoned all the generals above the centurion of the Tiger Ben Army to prepare to respond.

The generals of the Tiger Ben Army all felt into the tent as if they were sleepwalking, and when they saw that everyone had not slept for hundreds of years, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Who would have thought that such a loss would be suffered? Before, they were the only ones who attacked others!

"The people and horses who came should not be Beiliang's army, I think I'm afraid that they are thieves and others who take risks for money. Swallow says this is a tired tactic used by horse thieves, and if we drag it out any longer, we will only fall into a more passive environment......"

He Mullan yawned and rubbed his eyes.

"So I'm going to lure the snake out of the hole."

"Lure the snake out of the hole?"

"General, do you want to have a big fight with them? Lao Tzu couldn't help it for a long time, he didn't sleep every day, and Lao Tzu fell asleep on the horse! ”

"I also agree to a quick fix."

The generals were overjoyed and expressed their willingness to fight the horse thieves to the death.

"Since it's to lure the snake out of the hole, you still have to have a strategy. First of all, we must rest well before the big war, and secondly, the acting must be realistic. ”

He Mullan pursed his lips.

"I want to ...... like this"

Dune land.

Of course, the pursuit of the Hermulan troops will not be a pony thief group, and those with few men and horses will not dare to gnaw the hard bone of the Tiger Ben Army. This horse thief is a man who has some friendship with the blood cloak, a real poor and vicious person, with countless blood under his hands, as soon as he heard that the tiger army was heavily damaged but brought the wealth of the city, he immediately entangled three or four horse thieves in the western desert, and came over to swallow this big fish together.

"The elite cavalry of the Wei State really deserves its reputation, and if we harass like this, if the soldiers and horses of the Liang State were tired, they would have already been tired." The leader of the horse thieves shook his head when he heard the news that the spies had returned, "But they can't hold it anymore, the interval between marches is getting shorter and shorter, and there are still some who have fallen from their horses today, in my opinion, they should be able to attack at sunrise tomorrow." ”

Hearing the words of the leader of the horse thieves, the Blood Cloak couldn't help but feel a little uneasy: "Is it enough to chase for three days?" Do you want to wait a few more days......"

"It's already very close to the city of Chin Khan, and they might run back when they wait. And we are mainly robbing things, and we are not trying to destroy this army, we don't need to be perfect. "This leader is by no means a brainless and aggressive man.

"I didn't think that I could grab everything, and when the time came, I would run away after robbing the camel, and the tiger soldiers would be tired and tired, and they would definitely not be able to catch up with us."

There are more than 2,600 people in the gang of horse thieves, all of whom have been put together improvised for the purpose of this big deal, and when the time comes, they will be able to grab as many camels as they can grab, and each will have more points to grab, and less points to grab will be less, and this is the rule of survival in the desert.

"What did the other leaders say?" The leader of the horse thieves asked his subordinates, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

"They're all in a hurry." The subordinate replied to him with a smile, "They can't wait, it's difficult for us to get supplies, and if we can't get it anymore, we'll drag the disabled first." ”

"Okay, let's leave tomorrow in the middle of the night, take a look at the movement over there first, launch a few small harassments, and when they think we won't come again, we will do it as soon as dawn!"

In the desert, you can only really fall asleep at night, so the night has been harassing, and around sunrise is the time when people are most sleepy, and even the reaction will be half a beat slower.

These horse thieves did not have the idea of fighting the regular army to the end, they only needed to deflect some of the pressure and grab something, and their plan could be considered perfect.

At midnight, all the horse thieves divided their ranks according to their leaders, agreed on the order of taking turns to harass, and lurked beside the oasis where the Tiger Ben army was encamped, waiting for the final moment to move.

As the chief said, as the leader said, the troops they sent out to harass them were more easily successful, and the rockets fired burned a large row of tents, and at last the general had to order all the tents to be put away and everyone to sleep in the camels.

The camels formed a circle, and the soldiers of the tiger army slept in the circle of camels, which became a natural defense, and the treasures were also next to the camels, and as soon as they began to march, they could be quickly loaded on the camels.

In one night, the horse thieves harassed three or four times, and by the last time, there were only more than 300 people who came out to resist and shoot back, and I am afraid that the others really couldn't hold on.

Hearing that the Tiger Ben Army couldn't even organize a decent resistance force, the big leader immediately decided to give them a rest for an hour, and attack when they slept most soundly and relaxed!

The sky gradually brightened, and the Tiger Army began a painful early morning as usual. Everyone shuffled as if in slow motion, and the slaves and manunons in the camp even put their treasures on the camels and fell asleep against them.

The whole camp was ready to march at a pace that was more than twice as slow as before, and the camels chewed the hay and wondered why the heavy boxes on their bodies had not yet been weighed down, and He Mullan did not even bother to make his rounds around the camp, for he was already too sleepy to sleep a little longer.

It was in this oppressive atmosphere that the horse thieves launched a general attack.

The terrifying sound caused by the dust and sand suddenly appeared from the west, and in the rolling yellow sand, the horse thieves holding sabers high were wearing strong suits that covered their whole bodies, and only two eyes were exposed, and they appeared from the yellow sand and dust mist, disappeared at once, approached each other, followed by each other, and went straight to the tiger army that was still ready to go.

They wielded their sabers fiercely, like a gust of wind rushed into the vicinity of the camp, the tiger army in the camp had long been accustomed to their men and horses from time to time, and the soldiers of the tiger army who were good at shooting immediately shot arrows to return fire, but because they were too tired, those arrows were soft, and the accuracy was limited, and after shooting a few horse thieves, these horse thieves were allowed to rush into the camp.

The tiger army Mingjin was ready to retreat, but he didn't resist much at all, so he quickly retracted under the command of He Mulan, and retreated sharply in the direction of the treasure, seeing that these tiger army wanted to run away with the camels, all the horse thieves had red eyes, and they all desperately pumped their horses' buttocks, brandished their weapons, and galloped towards the camel herd.

"Ahh

"Ahhhh

"There's a trap in the sand!"

It was a short distance from the camels and the treasure, but to the horse thieves it was as far away as a country.

Then the horse thieves knew why the arrows were so weak and so few, and all the arrows and spears/heads were buried in the sand near the camels, and the horses were defenseless, and they rose up in astonishment, and threw the horse thieves on the sand.

There are also some horse thieves who are not dead, even if they fall to the ground, they still run wildly to the side of the camel herd, the sand is not like the land, those vertical/inserted/hidden weapons can not make all horses and horse thieves injured, and the horse thieves who have slipped through the net have only one target in their eyes - camels full of goods!

As long as they ride these camels back to their own people, they will be considered successful, so why waste them here?

However, when the thieves rushed to the camels, the real disaster came.

Behind the camel lurked countless prepared tiger army!

Camels are forbearant and obedient, and even when there is a real fight around them, they still kneel on the ground, chew the hay in their mouths, and wait for the slaves who let the camels whistle and then get up and leave with their goods.

The earth-shattering shouts of killing kept ringing, and last night's harassment didn't seem to have any effect on these ambushed elite soldiers, and the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army who jumped out of the camel were all like killing gods, and the swords and swords in their hands were all over the place, and in no moments, they killed these horse thieves who touched the camel's side and bled like a river.

At this time, the horse thieves had already discovered that the situation was wrong, and immediately gathered their men and horses to cover the retreating tiger army, but found that these horses immediately formed a circle formation, forming a defensive formation and advancing towards the camels.

At the front of the line, a military uniformed Hermulan held a bow and arrow, specifically aimed at the leader who was surrounded by everyone, her arrows were precise and powerful, several leaders dodged a few times, only felt a chill in their backs, shouted and retreated, and only ordered his men to continue to attack in the direction of the camel herd, intending to take the camels away.

Soon, the elite soldiers who were ambushed by the camel side killed the horse thieves who took advantage of the chaos to touch the camels, and one by one did not join Hermulan's team, but turned over on the camels, and with a whistle, these camels stood up curiously, probably thinking that their bodies were much lighter today, and after the sharp and short whistle, the reins on the camels were suddenly shaken, and these camels began to gallop!

Few people have ever seen a camel galloping, and in the minds of desert peoples, camels are the most hard-working, honest and reliable companions, but this does not mean that camels cannot run.

Camels have long legs, a large stride, and strong endurance, and when they gallop, they can even match the fastest speed of horses.

The most terrifying thing is that because the weight of the camel is much heavier than that of the horse, once it is hit by a galloping camel, it is not just as simple as being hit, once it is stepped on by the camel, it is really not even a hum to go to the western sky!

The reason why the camel that is ridden rarely runs is because the camel is much less comfortable to run, and the bumpy camel will make people vomit directly on it, and it will also fall down because it is too high and too bumpy.

But now the Tiger Army can't do so much, they tie their belts to the pre-reserved fixations on the camels' backs, and lean on the empty boxes behind them to form a natural shock absorbing space, and chase the horse thieves frantically.

The poor chiefs have never seen such a terrible thing in their lives, the camels selected by the King of Beiliang for the Northern Wei delegation are all strong and obedient, and they are taller than ordinary camels, and such a bunch of behemoths move, even wolves and jackals can only avoid it.

So, a hilarious scene appeared in the desert: at the forefront, the defeated horse thieves were driven south by camels, and behind the galloping camels, there were tiger warriors chasing after them with the help of camels as a formation wall, and all the knights changed the languishing of the horse thieves at the beginning, as if the slow-motion action was suddenly accelerated, shouting at the horse thieves who were driven by the camels and chasing them.

The camel was frightened by the driving sound behind him, and ran faster, and soon some unlucky eggs were hit by the camel army in a chaotic formation, and some even fell off the horse directly, and were quickly harvested by the tiger army behind.

These horse thieves are not stupid, and when the camel's movements slowed down, the leader of the horse thieves immediately decided: "The camel can't run!" Stop running at once and turn back and grab the camels and what they are on their backs! ”

There were not many tiger troops who rushed out to pursue them, about one-third of the camp, and the team of horse thieves was several times larger than these tiger army, so when they saw that the camel was getting slower and slower, it seemed that they couldn't run, so they immediately turned their horses' heads and prepared to fight back.

The knights on the camel's back seemed to know that doom was coming, and one by one they jumped off the camel without waiting for the horse thieves to cover their way, and ran lifelessly towards the ranks of the Tiger Army.

Hundreds of men galloped together, leaving behind the camels that had been ordered to stay put, and the horse thieves were even more overjoyed, and many of the chieftains, who could not wait to divide the spoils, were at once reduced to pieces, and the camels and the chests were left in their eyes.

The Tiger Ben army, which galloped back, quickly caught up with the comrades who met them, and as soon as He Mulan whistled, the empty horses in the team turned over hundreds of soldiers, and one-third of the men and horses immediately became two-thirds, and the original camel riding skills became □ Zhan soldiers again.

The tiger army of more than 1,000 people launched an attack on the camel herd in front, and at this time, the horse thieves also grabbed their own camels according to the size of their forces, but found that no camel moved in place, no camel moved in place, but only stood firmly in the sand.

The horse thieves were in a hurry, and seeing that the tiger army was getting closer and closer, some horse thieves began to pull out daggers and poke the camels' bodies, but as soon as these camels were in pain, they immediately jumped around in circles like crazy on the spot, and did not listen to the call of people at all, so that the other horse thieves who were originally going to draw gourds in the same way dispelled this stupid idea.

"Abandon the camel, take off the box and go! Take as much as you want! ”

The leader of the horse thieves now felt that his heart was beating like a drum, his eyelids were also rolling up and down, and his whole heart was flustered and had a terrible premonition.

"Don't be greedy, just pretend and leave, don't compromise here!"

These are the most capable armies of the Wei State, although they fought a surprise attack, but who knows if there will be anything wrong? If these tiger army are ambushed behind, they will not be enough for them to stuff their teeth!

With the shouts of the Great Chief, the Blood Cloak and several of the leaders who had joined together came to their senses:

They're here to grab something, and if they grab something, they just run!

So all the horse thieves hurriedly climbed on the camel quilt, the boxes that were lost were lost, the ropes that were unloaded were unloaded, these boxes were very heavy, and they were sealed with the fire paint seals of the Beiliang royal family, and the horse thieves picked up the boxes that were light in weight and easy to take away and threw them on horseback, and they didn't care about anything else, as long as there were boxes on horseback, they ran immediately, and the rest of the boxes were broken to escort the departure of the goods.

He Mulan led the Tiger Ben army to arrive immediately, and after a while, he wounded several careless Tiger Ben soldiers, leaving more than forty corpses.

These horse thieves did not love to fight at all, and when they saw that their accomplices had run away, they immediately fled in panic, and He Mullan was not in a hurry, and fell behind the team unhurriedly, and asked the tiger army to mark the road to prevent them from getting lost.

The camels were led back to the camp by the slaves who had come with them, each with a (⊙o⊙) expression, completely unaware of what the purpose of running around early in the morning.

"They don't know that the box is full of yellow sand, hahaha!" Chen Jie couldn't help but laugh as he watched the horse thief in front of him run slower and slower.

"Carrying such heavy boxes and running in the sand, those horses are pitiful!"

The speed of the horse thieves is getting slower and slower, and although the Tiger Ben army has few people coming, they can bring more horses, and they change horses once in the middle, re-accumulating horsepower, and running more briskly.

They even had the strength to spare, like beasts of prey, and fell behind them while drinking some water and eating some meat on horseback.

Thinking that these horse thieves have harassed them like this in the past few days, they dare not relax when they fall far behind them.

Now that the feng shui is turning, it is their turn to run in front of them with heavy baggage to try to get rid of them, and Na Luo Hun and Chen Jie are indescribably happy, and they roar in front of them.

"Ahhhh Run! We're all catching up with you! ”

"Come on, come on, surrender and don't kill, Lao Tzu's pants are about to wear out, take off your pants and don't kill!"

"In war, sometimes it's not about who can fight better, but who is more willing to use their brains." He Mullan smiled and looked at the horse thieves in the distance, who seemed to be beginning to notice that the box was wrong, and began to throw things under the horse's back, and immediately shouted: "Brothers, prepare for an assault!" The horse thieves are ready to run! ”

"Good!"

"Hahaha, just their horses that can't even lift their hooves, wait to wash their necks and die!"

"Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't slept well for three days, and Lao Tzu told them not to sleep in the future!"

The depression caused by the long-term lack of sleep of the Tiger Benjun urgently needed to be vented, and one by one, his eyes were red, and he drew his weapons and roared loudly.

"Drive!"

***

The horse thieves only discovered that something was wrong when a box was rolled to the ground after it was not secured.

These extremely heavy boxes, which did not even fall off the seal, rolled to the ground and scattered, and a pile of yellow sand and stone oaks rolled out, and those extremely heavy treasures were actually these ghost things!

The big leader looked through the nearest box at hand with his eyes and found that although the sealing paint had not fallen off, the imprint on the paint had been pasted, indicating that it had been roasted by fire and re-sealed, and it had been opened in the middle.

The pit is in the pit, just in that messy situation, who can carefully check whether the sealing paint is perfect!

They're not the ones who put their belongings in storage!

"Into your mother's! We've been tricked! Ditch the box and run away! ”

The Great Leader shouted hysterically.

"The boxes are full of sand! Drop the box! ”

A group of horse thieves threw away the loaded boxes in a panic, but even so, the extremely tired horses were already a little exhausted, and they were still far from the next oasis, and the eyes of the great leader and his party looked at the blood cloak with cold and ruthless eyes.

If it weren't for the fact that he desperately advocated that the Tiger Ben Army had few men and horses, they wouldn't have robbed it so easily, and they felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

The blood cloak was looked at by these leaders, and just as they were about to explain a few words, they heard the big leader say subtly: "Since it was something you provoked, you will be responsible." There are a lot of tiger soldiers and horses in the back, you stay and break the back! ”

The blood cloak was about to change color, but when he saw that the horse thieves had vaguely wrapped his team in the middle, as long as he said a "no", he would be immediately cut off his head, so he could only grit his teeth in righteous indignation: "Okay, big leader, take care, we will postpone!" ”

The Blood Cloak led the men and horses away from the dangerous ranks, and the horse thieves from the west immediately rushed to the south. To the south was the trade route to Guzang, where caravans often passed by, and they were so numerous that they could get new supplies and goods to make up for today's losses by robbing one or two caravans.

The Tiger Ben army rushed forward, chopping melons and vegetables and killing a man and horse with a blood cloak, He Mulan saw the familiar red cloak, and immediately led Na Luohun, Chen Jie and the guards to personally come forward to capture the leader, and after a fight, it was not the blood cloak or who it was!

"Mulan, you have accepted my money and promised to keep me safe within a month! You can't kill me! Seeing that there were fewer and fewer henchmen around him, Blood Cloak shouted loudly in Chinese in panic.

Na Luo Hun didn't know what he was talking about, but Chen Jie smiled cruelly, and stabbed him: "My general promised you, but I didn't agree!" ”

"I know the whereabouts of Bodhi! I have an internal response next to Rahu! ”

Seeing that there was no escape today, the blood cloak cried out regardless of it.

"Leave us alive, I tell you where they are!"

"Stop!"

Seeing that Chen Jie was about to stab the blood cloak to death, He Mulan threw the long sword in his hand and smashed Chen Jie's long lance away.

"Tie him up, Na Luo Hun and his personal guards will control this group of sand wind thieves, and the rest of the people will continue to chase after the horse thieves with me."

If she can't wipe them all out in the desert, maybe there will be more and more thieves who will come to chase and intercept the Tiger Ben army in the future, and she won't have time to play IQ games with them every day.

He Mulan led a group of tiger soldiers to chase the horse thieves along the footprints of the desert, but when he saw the dust in the distance, the sound of horses neighing could be heard from afar, and he was immediately shocked and ordered: "The scouts of Tiger Four go out to inquire about the news, and Pegasus will report!" ”

"It seems to be in the direction of Chin Khan City." Na Luo Hun suddenly changed from a sitting position to a standing position on a running war horse, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance.

"There are so many people, are they from Chin Khan City?"

"It shouldn't be, Feng Heng said that the men and horses of Qin Khan City must defend the city, and at most more than a thousand people can be mobilized, looking at the dust, the number is not under five thousand."

He Mullan frowned.

"Wait for news from the scouts while chasing."

Equally felt wrong were the poor horse thieves.

Because of the blood cloak blocking behind them for a while, these horse thieves successfully opened a distance from the tiger army, but because the east is not their territory, they have been entrenched in the western desert for a long time, these horse thieves do not dare to scatter to distract the tiger army except for running to the oasis where the blood cloak is a stronghold in the south.

Such a caravan of horse thieves galloping through the desert caused enough movement to make all the caravans flee along the way, and they could chase the caravan by following the hoof prints of the camels.

But today they didn't run into the caravan, but they found that there was more terrible dust than the caravan in the distance, accompanied by a frightening "clanging" sound.

This "clanging" sound is nothing else, but the sound of the weapon rubbing against the saddle, armor, etc., which is the voice of the army and the sound of death.

The horse thieves who were being chased thought that they had fallen into the trap laid by the Wei State a long time ago, and one by one they were already mourning, with an ambush in front and a chasing soldier in the back, and their end was already doomed.

"It's over, it's over......"

The thieves who used to roar in the desert of death looked at the army of freshly dressed and angry horses in the distance.

Many of them were well-informed, but they had never seen such a mighty army.

The weapons of each soldier shone with a chilling light, and their eyes that shone in the sunlight hurt, and the banner of the "Wei" character and the Tiger Army flag of the Tiger Army let them know that this team must have some kind of connection with the Tiger Army.

They guessed correctly, the Tiger Ben Army and the Gaoche Tiger Ben are general, both of which belong directly to the army of the Great Khan Tuoba Tao, but the Tiger Ben Army is all from Xianbei military households, so the Tiger Army flag is a white flag (Xianbei Shangbai), and the Gaoche Tiger Ben comes from Mo Nan and is a yellow flag (Eile Shangjin).

"What to do? Surrender, right? ”

***

As Hermulan and his Tiger Army chased after the horse thieves, they also waited for news from the scouts.

"General Flower! It's a high-speed car! ”

The scouts roared excitedly, and their long-standing repression was released by the excitement of "finally waiting for the organization", which made them show their bloody expressions one by one.

"Someone from Pingcheng is here!"
