Chapter 271: A Thousand Miles Attack
"Zhetuo, do you think this road can really lead to the Qi Kingdom?
The warriors have been gone for more than three months, why is there still a vast sea of sand in front of them?
It's just that I didn't expect that there was such a vast land of quicksand in the Guannai, I don't know if you have found it, and this place is not far behind the sandy land in the south of the Wuhu River.
If it weren't for the fact that there weren't worms here, I would be a little dazed. ”
"Now that we have little food and water left, I don't know when we will be the first to go."
"Zheto, could it be that we went the wrong way and missed the supply depot?"
In the vast sea of sand, a cavalry contingent of about 20,000 people marched slowly under the white moonlight. In the starry sky and the vast sea of sand, this cavalry team lined up in a slender queue, like a black silk connecting heaven and earth, with no end in sight.
Because the desert was so hot during the day, and it also consumed too much water and physical strength, the leader of this cavalry, Zheto, ordered that the rest of the march must be carried out at night after the army had penetrated into the desert.
Zheto, who looked burly and unusually burly with a beard on his face, listened to the doubtful nagging of Jochi and Mu Huali beside him, and couldn't help licking his shriveled lips, and said with determination in his eyes:
"In order to explore this road, Da Shan Yu successively sent nearly a thousand brothers and spent nearly two years to finally find it, how could he have a fake to take the lives of so many of our warriors as a child's play.
You don't have to say anything to visit me, in Da Shan Yu's mind, there is no intimacy between the few of us at all, so how can you disclose this matter to me.
Strong winds blow every day in this sea of sand, and once these winds and sand pass, most of the original signs will be buried under the gravel, so the speed of pathfinding is slow.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have let the Sukuo brothers take a thousand warriors to explore the road first.
However, I believe that the Sukuo brothers must have found a way, otherwise even if they die, the Sukuo brothers will send an eagle to warn us.
So, you two don't think about it and hurry up.
If there is no water, drink horse blood.
If you don't have anything to eat, you eat horse meat.
The warriors of the steppe frightened this little difficulty, what kind of warrior is that?
For three years, we have been staying in the grassland to guard against worms, and a bird has come out.
Now that Da Dan Yu has left us such a fat sheep, how can we disgrace Da Dan Yu. ”
After Zheto finished speaking, Jochi and Muhuari nodded in agreement. Jochi seemed to be a little excited and said, "Zheto is right, as long as we can really reach the Qi country, what can stop the warriors of the Immortal Heaven from killing." ”
"Jochi, I don't have to mention this again. Have you forgotten Da Danyu's explanation? ”
After Jochi finished speaking, Mu Huali on the side hurriedly persuaded him. Jochi also immediately understood what Mu Huali meant, and then he smiled but didn't care about beating his horse and running towards the front of the moonlight like daylight.
Mu Huali looked at Jochi's back and shook his head, and Zheto on the side glanced at Mu Huali and laughed loudly:
"Jochi, this kid is really suffocated, Da Danyu didn't take us into the customs at the beginning, saying that it was to let us defend against the sneak attack of the worms, but where have I seen the shadow of the worms in the past few years.
The warriors of other tribes fought heartily with the people of Qin in the Guannei, we
But he can only run around the grassland with the warriors every day like an idiot, and now he finally has a battle to fight, I'm afraid that the warriors are the same as Jochi, I can't wait. ”
After Zheto finished speaking, he found that Mu Huali did not mean to reply, he just rode on his horse and looked up at the stars in the sky as if he was stunned.
Ever since Mu Huali escaped with his life from the worms, he suddenly seemed to be a different person. But Zheto knew that compared to himself, Jochi, and Sukuo, Mu Huali was the one with the heaviest hatred in the center of the four, and the one who carried out Da Danyu's orders the most thoroughly.
Because Mu Huali has a mysterious trust in Xiao Dadanyu, he pinned all his hopes for revenge on the man who was regarded as a god by his own people.
"Mu Huali, what are you thinking?"
After a long time, Zheto asked Mu Huali, who was still stunned. But Mu Huali didn't take his eyes off the starry sky, and muttered with a slight movement at the corner of his mouth:
"Zhetuo, I remember that day when we sent a few of them to the Immortal Heaven, the sky was also like this, you and I personally lit the firewood under them, and watched the rows of green smoke rush into the arms of the Immortal Heaven.
Zhe Mao'er, Ye Erwen, Hu Laoxi, Wu Lianghe, Wentai, Zhesi, will they be watching us from the sky at this moment. ”
Zheto listened to Mu Huali's words and looked up at the sky as well. The stars in the starry sky seemed to be blinking a pair of eyes, as if they were responding to Mu Huali's words.
"Look, they're looking at us.
Muhuali, do you remember when we killed the worms in the ice lake outside the Golden Tribe with Da Danyu. At that time, you and I thought that one day, we would all be able to become captains of all people, and we would be able to influence the life and death of millions of people in a country in the Guannai.
A few of us are like eagles, hatching from eggs under the wings of Da Danyu. The few of us unfortunately died and fell off the cliff, but the four of us were able to spread our wings safely and learn to fly.
I always thought that I was not only Zhetuo, but also Zhe Mei'er, Ye Erwen, Hu Laoxi, and you were not only Mu Huali, but also Wu Lianghe, Wentai, and Zhesi.
The four of us are not just the four of us, because we are all burdened with the expectations of our brothers and want to soar together in the blue sky. ”
After Zheto said that, he looked at the starry sky with Mu Huali beside him, and let the horses under him walk towards the east, where the position had been explored.
"Zhetuo, Da Shan Yu said that after we capture the cities of Qi, we must not go on a killing spree, we can only kill the nobles who have done bad things, distribute half of their land to the people, and leave half of the land for our people, you three must not forget.
I think Da Dan Yu is very concerned about this matter, so you must not violate this matter and make Da Dan Yu embarrassed. ”
Towards dawn, fast-moving stars appeared behind the endless sand dunes in the eastern sky. After walking a long road all night, Zhetuo and the others looked intently, only to see dozens of war horses galloping towards the 20,000 main cavalry with the dust behind them.
......
Tokyo Castle, Blue Dragon Temple.
Qi Gong Xiao Zishuo, who had a calm face and was a little abnormal, looked at Xiao Wenkao, who was kneeling in the hall trembling, and said nothing.
All the ministers in the hall also looked terrified, looking down at the green bricks under their feet. who
I didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that I would attract the attention of Qi Gong and add to the disaster of killing myself.
No one in the world knows that although the Duke of Qi is extremely intelligent today, he is also notoriously ruthless.
In the more than 10 years since he took office, he has not only changed almost all the powerful ministers of the DPRK and China, but also gradually hardened himself under the growing strength of the country after 10 years of forbearance with the outside world.
Over the years, the State of Qi has recaptured the land east of Xieyuguan of the Qin State, and took advantage of the civil strife in Chu to help pacify the civil strife in Chu.
If it weren't for the defeat of the Rong people by the Rong people more than a year ago, the current Duke of Qi's martial arts would be enough to be called the leader among the Duke of Qi in the past hundred years.
is just such an ambitious Guogong who wants to do something, but he has encountered an unprecedented embarrassing situation.
First, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses fell into the Qin State, and even his only son fell into the hands of the Qin people, and then suddenly encountered a surprise attack by the Rong people from the north. In less than three months, the northern territories east of the Tianxing Mountains and located in the plains, such as Beichuan, Yan County, Nanliao County, and Haixi County, all fell into the country.
Three months ago, when he heard that Xiao Wenkao, who had returned from an envoy to Qin, had brought the news that the Rong people would raid Qi from the north, the Duke of Qi, who was taken aback, hurriedly sent 100,000 forbidden troops guarding Gyeonggi to the north to help defend the place.
But he never expected that when the assembled forbidden army went north, he heard that the speed of the Rong cavalry attack was amazing, and they had already occupied most of the three counties of Beichuan, Yan County, and Nanliao.
Everywhere the Rong people went, they would kill the Qi troops who dared to fight in the field to the point of losing their armor and bleeding.
This made the forbidden army, who heard that the number of soldiers and horses seemed to be small but still had some confidence, finally had a feeling of anxiety in his heart. They simply stopped marching, but Chen Bingyan waited for the Rong people to go south.
Originally, the 500,000 army of the Qi State has been lost in the territory of the Qin State, and the 200,000 army is the border army that has been confronting the Qin State all the year round.
These forbidden troops still have a gap in combat effectiveness with the border army, and even they can't defeat the enemy, what ability can they have to defeat them.
The only confidence now is nothing more than that the cavalry of the Rong people does not seem to be too numerous.
However, the forbidden army still did not expect the worst outcome, because in the subsequent field battle with the Rong cavalry that broke through, these forbidden troops, who had not fought for a long time, finally found that the high combat effectiveness of the Rong cavalry was far beyond their expectations.
After two decisive defeats in a week's time, the forbidden army had completely lost confidence in defeating the Rong people.
They had no choice but to flee to Tokyo, leaving all the great rivers and mountains behind them to the Rong people.
In a short period of time, the 100,000 forbidden troops sent to the local area fled back to 50,000. Xiao Zishuo, the Duke of Qi, vaguely understood why the powerful Qin State was almost destroyed by the Rong people in just a few years.
But the people of the Qin State are still outstanding in martial arts, and even if they reach the point where they are now, there can still be a genius who maintains the final situation.
But Qi State's Lu Lihua was in the unreachable clouds and fog, so seeing that the disaster of Qin State was in front of him, the Duke of Qi hurriedly gathered the ministers and generals who guarded the four southern counties of Huangshui that had not yet fallen and fled from the fallen counties in the north to discuss anti-combat measures in the Qinglong Palace.
