"Report!"

I saw a personal guard run into Liu Xia's study and said to Liu Xia respectfully.

"Returning to the prince, now Wu Sangui's army has reached Xinyang Prefecture in Runing Prefecture, and at the same time, the troops of the two regiments of the Wolf Howling Brigade have also been deployed to Luoshan, which is very close to Xinyang. However, so far, the enemy army is only stationed in Xinyang, and has no intention of attacking. The commander of the Wolf Howling Brigade asked the general what to do next. ”

Liu Xia picked up the quilt on the table and put it in his mouth and slowly took a small sip, and said in a deep voice: "Tell Ma Peng to keep a close eye on the enemy army, and if the enemy army attacks us, then tell him that he must not be soft." Of course, if the enemy army does not move, let him continue to stalemate with the enemy army there, and at the same time let his subordinates continue to sweep the local pole bandits and some ruffians and hooligans, so as to lay the foundation for the future ** personnel to go forward. ”

"My subordinates understand!" With that, he hurriedly walked down.

The Qing army has not moved since the last defeat, and Duoduo's successive defeats have made the personnel within the Eight Banners even more despised it, and many people have ridiculed Duoduo's incompetence in command. However, because of the heavy losses of the Qing army in the last battle, it seems that there is no intention of sending troops at present. The entire Manchu Qing Dynasty now seemed to be completely silent.

In late April, an army of camouflage-clad men crisscrossed the grasslands as far as the eye could see, armed with two horses each, or even three, or even four. There were about 2,000 people in this group, and each of them carried heavy supplies on their backs.

The leader was a very young man, and I saw him skillfully driving the war horse galloping forward, followed by more than 2,000 people behind him. This group of people is Zhang Yang and others, because the grassland is green, so Zhang Yang specially equipped the soldiers with green camouflage uniforms, so that they can achieve the effect of concealment, so that it is difficult for the enemy to detect themselves.

After coming to the steppe, Zhang Yang had slaughtered several Tatar tribes, and these war horses were the Tatars who were robbed, among which these war horses were selected war horses, and those inferior horses were either abandoned or slaughtered and eaten.

"Head, where are we going next?" Now that the three thousand scouts have exhausted the test of blood and fire, they have long since matured, and the perseverance has long replaced the immaturity, and the slender and weak arms have been replaced by thick muscles. They are now a veritable elite division.

Zhang Yang looked at the distant sky, it was an endless green, and the distance seemed to coincide with the Tianhe ground, the blue sky, the green ground. There are also those clear rivers, the fiery sun hangs over the earth, and the white clouds float back and forth like ribbons.

"Our ultimate goal is to go to Horqin! But for now, let's get acquainted with this grassland. Draw an accurate map of the landscape," Zhang Yang said firmly.

A Boy Scout soldier asked, "Boss, what is Korqin?" What's there? ”

"Horqin ......" Zhang raised the corners of his mouth with a wicked smile, and said: "There are a large number of cattle and sheep there, and there are beautiful girls. Korqin is in the distant eastern part of Liaodong. ”

Zhang Yang couldn't help but think of their experience in the past ten days, after entering the Mongolian Plateau from Shaanxi, Zhang Yang led three thousand children to get lost in the grassland, facing the vast and desolate steppe, Zhang Yang only at this time completely understood why so many dynasties in ancient times were rarely able to completely rule the Mongolian grassland.

Not only is it sparsely populated, but there are also a large number of wild wolves. It's no exaggeration to say that there are no herders on the grasslands, and if you can't find herders on the grasslands, it's hard to find food, and you can get lost in the desert. (Mongolia has a large number of deserts.) ）

Zhang Yang and the others brought a total of five days of food, if they ran out of food and they could not find new food, they could only kill the horses if they wanted to live, but once the horses were killed, if there were Tatar cavalry coming, then they were likely to be wiped out.

Zhang Yang tasted the hardest years on the grassland, a difficulty he had not encountered in the Eagle Yang Guard for so long. But thanks to his brilliant brain and years of experience, they survived in the end.

On the first day of entering Mongolia, he was full of arrogance and was ready to lead his generals to do a big job. But on the first day, they didn't find a single figure.

The next day, they found some water, but it was very dirty, but Zhang Yang learned to purify the water when he was in Yingyangwei, and of course the purification of dirty water was also given to Yu Mingjun by Professor Liu Xia. This day was their happiest. However, he still didn't encounter any figures.

On the third day, Zhang Yang led his soldiers to inadvertently break into the desert, because he was not familiar with the situation in the desert, Zhang Yang could only run into the desert like a headless fly, and as a result, five soldiers died, which was a very big blow to Zhang Yang, that night Zhang Yang looked at the sky and the night sky, his mood was very heavy, and he even doubted whether he could lead his three thousand people. But Zhang Yang found the Big Dipper when he was looking at the night sky, and immediately became happy, so Zhang Yang relied on the guidance of the Big Dipper and walked out of the desert overnight, and at dawn they completely left the damn desert. Zhang Yang also understood the importance of drawing maps.

After Zhang Yang came out of the desert on the fourth day, he specially found a few people who could draw and began to draw the places they had been, which they would use in the future. He didn't know how far his actions would have a far-reaching impact on the future, and Liu Xia's recovery of Mongolia in the future was all based on the map drawn by Zhang Yang.

On the fourth day they encountered a pack of wolves, but the wolves were apparently clever enough not to attack them, but to leave. But they still did not meet a single person, by this time they were running out of food, and many of the soldiers were demoralized.

Looking at the soldiers sighing and sighing, Zhang Yang tried to improve morale, but it had no effect. The fifth day was also the last day they were able to hold out, and for the whole day they didn't find a single figure, not even a herd of wild horses. Morale plummeted.

These five days have completely changed Zhang Yang's previous worldview and outlook on life, he has become less arrogant, but he still hasn't given up, for his dreams and for his honor, he must persevere!

Zhang Yang, you are the best!

Mencius once said: When the heavens descend on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. Zhang Yang felt that this was a test of God for him, if he couldn't persist in this point and couldn't solve it, then how could he compare it with Na Huo Qu's disease?

Zhang Yang shook his lips, his eyes were full of tenacity, and he kept telling himself: Zhang Yang must work hard! Victory lies ahead.

But no matter how tenacious Zhang Yang is and how dreamy he is, he has to face a very cruel reality at this time, that is, they have no food.

"Commander, we, we can only survive by killing the war horse." Dozens of soldiers drew their sharp and shiny swords and surrounded the soldiers' horses, about to kill the horses and eat meat.

"No! Although the war horse is a beast, but he is a warrior who fights side by side with us, and he is our brother, and he must not eat it, and if the enemy army comes, we will definitely be wiped out without the war horse. Zhang Yang shook his head firmly, the war horse must not be killed.

"Commander, we don't have anything to eat, we can't even see a single figure in this vast prairie, and we can't find anyone today, but we can't just be hungry. Let's talk about it, this war horse eats or not. ”

At this time, Zhang Yang once again had to face a dispute between his superiors and the soldiers, and if it was not handled well, the situation would be that the soldiers would bomb the camp.

Zhang Yang endured his anger and said calmly: "Then kill my war horse first." Saying that, Zhang Yang brought his favorite snow dragon over, and Zhang Yang tried his best to hold back his tears and not stay. At this time, the snow dragon lowered his head and scratched his arms, and his eyes were full of peace and love.

The soldiers knew what this war horse meant to Zhang Yang, and they didn't dare to do it, so Zhang Yang and the soldiers were in a stalemate. After such an hour, the soldiers did not kill the horses in the end, and Zhang Yang won the final victory.

Zhang Yang's next task was to send cavalry to reconnoiter around to see if there was anything to eat, and even Zhang Yang himself went into battle and began to shoot hares. Suddenly, the rabbits on the whole grassland suffered.

Their food has been eaten for days, and what about Zhang Yang when there is no food?
