Due to altitude sickness, the Western Expedition had to be stationed to adapt to the climate.

As Liu Mingzhi expected, Xiu Xunguo had just entered October, and the sky ushered in a goose feather-like snowfall, and the entire Xiu Xunguo was suddenly covered in snow at home and abroad.

However, the soldiers no longer had the confidence to run recklessly on the snow, so they could only train themselves day after day according to the routine of the people of Xiu Xun to overcome the bad feelings brought about by altitude sickness.

Liu Mingzhi led the army of 400,000 to the west, and when it came out of Yumen Pass, there were 400,000 people and horses, and now there are only more than 346,000 people left.

With the help of the Western Regions countries, more than 50,000 soldiers still did not escape the calamity brought by the war, and their comrades carried the ashes and robes to complete the last journey.

They are willing to follow Liu Mingzhi to the west because they want to see the Western Regions return to the embrace of the Han family, although people are gone, the soul of the Han will live forever.

Liu Mingzhi ordered the three armies to carry the ashes and robes of their comrades at all times to complete the last journey of the Western Expedition.

Let them witness with their own eyes the feat of the Western Expeditionary Army to recover the Western Regions, and live up to the world.

Although 50,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, the 29 countries of the Western Regions that were captured sent a total of more than 480,000 troops, plus the Western Expeditionary Army under Liu Mingzhi, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a million heroes.

Liu Mingzhi never thought that one day he would lead an army of millions to command the battle, and it was this that strengthened Liu Mingzhi's determination to recover the Western Regions.

Only by taking all the 36 countries of the Western Regions can Dalong be invincible in the face of the Jin State and the Turks in the future, and even provide a steady stream of soldiers for the Western Ocean.

Nearly a million soldiers under his command gathered in Xiuxunguo, but the grain and grass consumed was not much more than the original 400,000 army.

The soldiers couldn't eat too much because of altitude sickness, and they saved a lot of physical strength by stopping the exercise.

The accumulation of grain and grass from the 29 countries became Liu Mingzhi's biggest problem, so he could only order to stop the transportation of grain and grass, and wait until the army of the Western Expedition moved to continue supplying grain and grass.

The first surrendered Gumo Kingdom got its wish and got the twenty-nine cities belonging to the Gumo Kingdom, and Gumo Rongrong got Liu Mingzhi's handsome seal and was indescribably excited.

Although Gumo Kingdom has become a vassal state of Dalong, it has the largest place in the Western Regions.

It's just that Gumo Rongrong doesn't know that there is an empty city but no one is stationed, which will become the biggest problem in Gumo Country.

"According to the secret investigation of the scouts, now the letters of the five countries of Dawan, Dayue, Anxi, Kangju, and Wusun are closely exchanged, and these five countries are all known as millions of people, especially the habits of Wusun are almost the same as those of the Turks, they belong to nomadic peoples, and the people of Wusun are the kind of beings who can be used as soldiers, which is much more difficult to deal with than a settled country like Dawan!"

Song Qing straightened up his body from the map: "Dashuai, you are right, the nomads' tactics are destined to not be able to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and if they can fight, they will flee if they can't fight this is their way of fighting, but our war horses can't catch up with their war horses, which is indeed a big problem!" ”

Feng Buji pondered for a while: "Does the marshal mean to capture the Dawan Kingdom first, capture the Dawan Horse, and deal with the war horses of the Wusun Kingdom?" ”

Cheng Kai shook his head directly: "This shouldn't be what the marshal meant, first of all, these five countries are now in close contact, and they must have plans to join forces together, and they must understand that they are not our opponents in a single battle!" ”

Liu Mingzhi bowed slightly, holding the bamboo pole in his hand and shaking it gently: "What you said is right, the most important thing now is to find out how many people will be in the five countries, the news that Ben Shuai got from Princess Gumo is that Wusun has a population of more than 1.2 million, for a nomadic country with a population of more than 1.2 million, there are at least 300,000 soldiers, and most of the cavalry, it is still unknown how many troops can be sent to deal with us, and it is also a force to be underestimated according to 200,000." ”

"According to the theory drawn by Ben Shuai in the results of the battle in Ganzhou City, there are 40,000 people who encountered Long Wuwei outside Ganzhou City, of which more than 10,000 cavalry are the cavalry of Wusun Kingdom, their riding skills are exquisite, and there is no need for Ben Shuai to say more, Cheng Kai, you know in your heart, you were also present that day, it can be said that you are stronger than the cavalry of Loulan led by Shanerhe, this will be a strong enemy!"

Cheng Kai nodded cautiously: "Of course the last general is clear, it can be said that it is vivid, if it is not for our armor to block the damage, I am afraid that the loss of the brothers will be even more heavy, and secondly, although Dawan is not a nomadic country, but Dawan horses are famous all over the world, especially the sweat and blood BMW that everyone yearns for is from Dawan, and now what the war horses of Dawan are still unknown!" ”

"Marshal, do you want them to fight alone or jointly?"

"Ben Shuai is more inclined to joint operations, which can save the time of the western expedition, but once the five countries are united, no one knows how many soldiers and horses there are, in case it is really a tough battle with our equal strength! Especially they belong to the local war, they can use much more advantages than us, this commander believes in the ability of the brothers, but he can't underestimate the ability of the opponent, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated! ”

"So Ben Shuai can't watch them join forces, he must find a way to divide them and defeat them one by one."

Song Qing patted on the map: "Marshal, brothers, please see, the territory of these countries presents a semi-circular form, looking at the entire territory of the eastern front of the Western Regions, in my opinion, the five countries will never send troops to attack us or resist us, first, the number is not superior, and second, the prestige of the twenty-nine countries of the Western Regions makes them afraid, so these five countries will inevitably join forces and have a decisive battle with us!" ”

"Zhou Baoyu, Duan can't bear it, Feng Buer, Ning Chao, Ye Baotong!"

"The last general!"

"The five of you are divided into five roads, each with fifty scouts with superb kung fu in disguise, and sneak into the five countries to explore the truth, the words of the people of the Western Regions can not be believed so far, this commander wants you to see with your own eyes how the strength of these five countries is, the five of you are all seven-grade masters, plus fifty scouts of five-grade masters, as long as they don't die, it should not be difficult to enter and exit the cities of these five countries, and only by finding out their details can they formulate combat countermeasures more confidently!"

"The last will be ordered!"

"Dashuai, several brothers have something, what will the last general do?"

Cheng Kai couldn't help but ask his own question after all.

"Cheng Kai listens to orders!"

"The last general!"

"You lead the brothers under your command who are not strong in altitude sickness to implement the plan of one belt and five roads, so that all the 480,000 coalition soldiers of the Western Regions countries can speak more than 30 Chinese dialects, your task is heavier than theirs, if these coalition soldiers do not know Chinese, when the time comes, we will be in chaos in the face of Dawan and other countries, and if the commander cannot be implemented immediately, it will be a catastrophe for us!"

"The last will be ordered!"

"Brothers, according to the reaction of the climate in the Western Regions, it will be impossible to continue the war before the year, and we will not be able to move troops for three months after the year, and we will only have five months to prepare for a decisive battle with the Dawan countries!"

"If you win, you will pass by triumphantly, and if you lose, you will bury your bones in a foreign land! Once the Armageddon begins, we will have no way to retreat, fight far away from our homeland, have no relatives and friends in front of us, and no support in the future, or return to our hometown to glorify our ancestors; Either ........"

"Die in battle, blood spills in the sky!"

"Order!"
