Approaching noon, the sultry weather made Yang Shuang's mood more and more impatient.

Not because of the food problem for a thousand people, but because of horse feed!

Horses are no more expensive than cattle, sheep and donkeys, but now that people are running out of food, how can there be rations for these animals.

But these thirty baby bumps, not only can not be slaughtered and eaten meat, but also have to be offered as ancestors!

"Three babies!"

"Here comes the boss, what's the matter?"

"You take the war horse to the shore of the underworld for a stroll, and by the way, cut some grass and come back, it is very likely to be used at night!"

"Great!"

The third child is very interested in walking the horse, especially when the donkey is in turmoil, and the child is eager to lie down and study it.

Now the four younger brothers have all become team leaders, of course, they are all impostors, and there is no official appointment from the Wei Mansion. Each of them was in charge of fifty men, a total of two hundred strong men, and this was all the soldiers of their own side that could be fought.

As for the remaining 800 old and weak women and children, now repair the Yumen Pass first, and when there are more fields, then integrate the people's souls to farm.

At noon, the various construction sites take a break and bury the pot for cooking.

As Yang Shuang expected, the forty laborers who fused the soul of the people were not full!

In desperation, Shi Da opened a small stove for this group of people, and cut and steamed the horses of the soldiers last night.

If it is an ordinary person, there will definitely be problems after eating. But this group of people can't eat enough because of the system, as long as it is eaten and it is not highly toxic, it is estimated that they can use it to fill their stomachs.

After the meal, the sun was even hotter, and the construction site was just about to start, but the three children who herded the horses came back with the horses.

"Where's the forage? Why did you wander around for so long? ”

Glancing at the shriveled horse's belly, Yang Shuang was puzzled, this kid usually does things very reliably, and he ran back without feeding the war horse, there must be some reason.

The third baby turned over and jumped off the horse, and lay in Yang Shuang's ear with a panicked face and said, "Tud... Turkic Iron Riders! The other side of the river is full of Turkic iron horsemen! Dense and endless! ”

"Tear ·····"

The Turkic army still went south!

"Old Five, ride to Dunhuang to warn!" No matter how the Black King Eight cheats people, if Dunhuang is lost, his gang will definitely become sinners!

This is not a crime of knowing and not reporting, but a failure to defend the land!

After Zhou Lao Wu left, Yang Shuang couldn't arrange the construction site to work, gathered everyone, and made every effort to repair the city wall.

Beyond the Stygian Waters, the Turks have crossed the Great Wall!

If you come to attack Yumen Pass, you must not attack from outside the pass, but from inside the pass!

"Boss, we need to send sentry horses, one is to explore the Turkic movements, and the other is to exchange information with the Dunhuang sentry horse!" After Wu Kun learned the news of the Turks' southward movement, he hurriedly came to discuss.

"How many trustworthy people can there be?" Yang Shuang also wanted to send scouts or sentinels, but except for Shi Da, Ah Ba, and the four younger brothers, he really couldn't trust this group of prisoners.

"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, send out the sword and shield soldiers who participated in the strangulation of horse thieves last night! No more, each person rides twice, fifteen people are enough! ”

Yang Shuang nodded helplessly, the scouts can't do without, if the Turks send a hundred people to attack Yumen Pass, it doesn't matter. But if the Turks send a team of 10,000 people over, without their knowledge, they desperately defend it, and it is estimated that there will be a tragedy nine times out of ten!

Waiting is an ordeal.

Knowing that the Turkic army was heading south, whether it was a horse thief, a family member, or a rout of the Northern Zhou army, they were all worried.

Yang Shuang even opened the west gate to give this group of people a chance to leave automatically, and to his relief, no one chose to leave.

There may be many reasons not to leave, such as the West is that horses are lost, such as the twenty archers who bent their bows and arrows on the city wall, but after more than 1,000 people chose to stay, they were more active in repairing the pass and transporting rolling wood and stones.

A horse thief with a strong desire to survive is easier to mobilize than a numb people, at least, the former is more afraid of death!

And, because they were afraid of death, they dared to take risks!

The fifteen sentinels who were released successively transmitted the movements of the Turkic army back to Yumen Pass, and in a word, they went all the way east along the dark water and took Dunhuang County directly!

As time went on, towards the evening, there were fewer and fewer sentry riders who could come back alive, and there were even sentry riders with a few feathered arrows on their bodies, leading several war horses, carrying the enemy's head and carrying the wounded on their backs.

It's at war!

"Stop probing!" Yang Shuang understands the gap between the two sides, his own side is a sword and shield soldier, but the other party is a nation on horseback, and riding and archery does not have an advantage at all.

When the sunset was completely silent at the end of the desert, Zhou Lao Wu also rushed back, and there was a person tied to the horse next to him!

Yang Shuang hurriedly opened the water bladder and handed it over, "How?" Has the message been delivered? ”

Lao Wu drank a few sips, shook his head in a dumb voice and said: "The news is late, Dunhuang is surrounded, there are 50,000 cavalry, if you count those slaves, servants, horse slaves, and Tuobhu people, it is estimated that there are no less than 200,000!" ”

Yang Shuang frowned, the Turks are so active in order to plunder wealth and population, generally speaking, it is impossible to make a big move for Dunhuang, a city that has just been ransacked!

Is there something hidden in this?

Or is there any treasure in Dunhuang?

Turning his head to look at Wu Kun, this smart man also frowned and pondered.

didn't get an answer, Yang Shuang had no choice but to set his eyes on the person who was tied back.

"This is the sentry rider I met halfway, and I thought it might be useful, so I knocked out and brought it back!" Zhou Lao Wu said, scooping up a scoop of water and splashing it on the other party's face.

“&&#￥@%”

Yang Shuang didn't understand, and looked around blankly, ready to find a translator.

Wu Kun opened his mouth and said: "This guy is very afraid of death, he is a horse slave, because the war horse is crazy on the battlefield, he is afraid that he will be killed by his master, so he escaped!" ”

"Ask him, why the Turkic army is besieging Dunhuang!"

Wu Kun talked with Manu for a long time before he spoke in astonishment: "The fifth brother of the Khan of Shabelio, Luo Yan's special service, was killed, and I heard the house slave who fled back say that he is a Sui general!" The Turkic powerhouse guessed that it was the so-called lord of Dunhuang, and the Datou Khan was intimidated by the power of Shabelio and was forced to send troops to Dunhuang, ready to avenge his younger brother! ”

"By the way, the Dunhuang warlord is still very arrogant in the face of the Turkic army, and he also admits that he killed Luo Yan's special service!"

As soon as the words fell, Shi Da was the first to react, "Could it be Ashina Luoyan who rode a monster?" ”

Yang Shuang nodded, his mood was quite complicated, this time the Black King Ba was carrying a cauldron for himself!

Wu Kun and the others didn't know about Ashina Luoyan at all, and looked at Yang Shuang when they heard the words.

"It's complicated!" Yang Shuang decided to deny the black cauldron.

If the Dunhuang Warlord hadn't appeared in the Turkic camp, maybe he and Shi Da wouldn't have met Ashina Luoyan, let alone go to the ancient city of Hecang!
