Chapter 124: Dragon Gate Desert

"Kill !!"

The visual impact brought to Yang Shuang by the ancient battlefield is far more shocking than that of film and television.

Although it is not as good as the tank group charge, nor can it surpass the artillery washing the ground, its unique grandeur and fearless momentum are deeply imprinted in his mind.

Liu Fang's army, as the main force of the left flank of Xiliang, had a strength of up to 50,000.

The flags are densely packed, the team flags are in rows, and more than a dozen poles will stand firmly in the center of the army.

Archers, heavy cavalry, light armor, heavy armor, and hundreds of chariots swept in the Gobi Desert with billowing smoke.

At the same time, Yang Shuang also saw the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion.

They differed from the armor warriors in that they were dressed in simple clothes, wearing strips of cloth for their hair, wearing simple cuirass, holding wooden poles and spears, and swords spanning three feet across their waists.

The figure is not very strong, but each has an indomitable momentum.

A team of five people, a team of fifty people, and a battalion of twenty teams moved quickly with the flag.

When they entered the Turkic army, their combat power was not much worse than that of the armorers, and even more ferocious, because after they killed the enemy soldiers, they needed to cut off their noses and ears one by one to remember their battle exploits!

In a short time, several brave soldiers were brave, and there was already a series of bloody ears and noses on their chests.

What shocked Yang Shuang the most was that they only cut off the enemy soldiers they killed, and even a little disdain for the Turks killed by armor and cavalry.

Guileless? Or is it harsh military law?

In the face of the influx of people, Yang Shuang didn't have time to think about it anymore, and brought up two hostages to follow Lao Hei and Shi Wansui to hide in the army of Dunhuang armor.

The clothes of the three are not standard, and maybe when they meet, it will cause misunderstanding.

After the wolf's head fell, no one helped him up again, and many Turkic soldiers heard that the Great Khan had been captured alive, both believers and unbelievers, but in any case, hundreds of thousands of troops fell into chaos, and a few voices could not be solved at all.

Coupled with the unattended slaves, war horses, cattle and sheep, panicked and stuffy running around, the 150,000-strong army was in chaos.

Therefore, under the charge of the government soldiers, chariots and heavy cavalry, the Turkic army retreated very quickly.

It was in the sky that day, and this general attack, which evolved from a sneak attack, gradually stopped.

Yang Shuang, who originally grabbed the two hostages and didn't let go, didn't have time to appreciate the vast battlefield that had calmed down at this time, but looked at the cloth ball shot with arrows in his hand suspiciously!

Shang said: Cao Gonggong and others returned to Daxincheng and passed through the Longmen Desert.

Grandpa Cao?

The group of eunuchs who came to Dunhuang to find the whereabouts of Duke An?

But who sent the news?

Yang Shuang looked at the Dunhuang warlord, and saw that he was deploying troops and preparing to go deep into the Turks.

And Shi Wansui has returned to the Styx camp with a thousand armor soldiers, and the role there is not only to guard against the central Turks, but also to rely on the Great Wall to block the road for the western Turks to advance eastward.

Could it be Liu Fang?

Thinking of that fat man, Yang Shuang shook his head, if he really knew the identity of the general, as the general of Zuo Wuwei, the general, whether Yang Jian wanted to kill the general's soul or not, he would personally arrange soldiers to intercept and kill that group of eunuchs.

After all, in Dong Dazhu's mouth, the prestige of the soul is unmatched in the northern frontier of the Great Sui.

Could it be that there is another force lurking in the army that knows his identity?

Yang Shuang is not good at conspiracy and trickery, since he knows that the group of eunuchs who may investigate the identity of the soul pass through the Longmen Desert, he must go over and get rid of them!

Thinking of this, Yang Shuang tied the cloth ball to the arrow, and while no one was paying attention around, he threw his hand and threw it to Liu Fang, who was fifty meters away and talking to the Dunhuang lord.

"Be careful, sir!"

Liu Fang, who seemed to be clumsy, trembled slightly, held the arrow in his hand in an instant, and looked in the direction of the flying, only to see several armor soldiers leaning together and snoring sweetly.

"Lao Hei, I heard that your subordinates are full of fierce generals, and the old man is very greedy, why don't you transfer Shi Wansui to the old man's account to listen to the order?" Liu Fang glanced at the cloth ball and threw it into the baggage that had not yet been burned.

"General Liu, Shi Wansui is a soldier of the Holy Lord, and you have no right to transfer before the deadline is reached!" The Dunhuang lord looked at the fire, but found nothing.

"Oh? In that case, then I want that bald boy! The old man has checked, he is not a criminal, but a civilian. And, I heard that some time ago, the apprentices of the old Kunlun and the old Taoist priest served in your army, but for some reason they left suddenly, but you lost two fierce generals to the old man, a big crime! ”

"This ·····" The Dunhuang warlord was a little speechless.

"This matter has been decided, and after the war is completed, I will personally arrange for someone to pick up the bald boy!"

Without waiting for the Dunhuang lord to answer, Liu conveniently commanded the army to collect the spoils of war and returned to the Yongfeng camp.

·······

The Longmen Desert, with a strange origin, is not a legacy of antiquity, but a few days when the strong wind of Yumen Pass blew away half of the southern mountain range of Mingsha Mountain.

This desert is located in the south side of Dunhuang, but it is far away from Yangguan, it is connected with Zhangye in the east, and it is connected with Yumen in the west, and there are more than 600 miles in length and width.

After the half of the Mingsha Mountain was blown away, many strange rocky ravines were revealed, which was called Longmen Canyon, which was a shortcut to the Guanlong area.

Because it doesn't need to follow the Qilian Mountains to pass through Tuyuhun to reach Longxi County.

If it weren't for Ma Lao Er and them selling salt everywhere, Yang Shuang would not have known such earth-shattering changes.

The terrain of Longmen Canyon is steep, natural disasters are repeated, and the horse thieves who come to hear the news from time to time create man-made disasters, if you do not have unique skills, and there is no great courage, almost no one dares to enter the Central Plains from this canyon.

Of course, there is no shortage of people in the world who take risks for the sake of profit.

In order to help this part of the people, I don't know when a gravel village was built in the middle of the Longmen Desert, called: Longmen Inn!

Speaking in detail, the word Longmen is also implicated with Yang Shuang.

Because the Yumen Pass was completely controlled by it, and there was a large camp of horses lost outside, during the Turkic southward movement, neither the caravan nor the horse thieves could leave the country.

Coupled with the destruction of the horse thief, the horse thief in the ancient city of Hecang, the horse thief in Yangguan, and the attack on King Shanshan, the people on the road gradually called Yumen Pass Longmen.

Dragon gate, people are difficult to climb, geese are difficult to cross, dragons are difficult to jump! (The real Longmen is located at the mouth of the Yellow River Gorge, or refers to the Longmen Grottoes, and this book refers to the Yumen Pass.) )

In the evening, the north wind gradually picks up.

The Dragon Gate Inn looms in the sandstorm and ushers in a team of people.

These people are not very flamboyantly dressed, but they are very new, and they are thin, but they are all sharp-eyed.

"Shop, all the use of today's inn, our family····· We've got it! Without waiting for the war horse to stop, a person rushed out of the crowd and shouted softly to the shopkeeper who heard the movement and walked out of the inn.

Dozens of knights who followed him poured into the inn one after another, patrolled with knives, and then rushed out and stood quietly around the inn.

"Hey, okay, a few masters, please!" The shopkeeper bowed and saluted, as a person who was messing around in the desert, how could he not understand the meaning of riding a horse.

"My lord likes to be quiet, and all the guests in the store today..."

"Little Bean, since the people have settled in, don't drive it away, let the little brother prepare some food, no hot water, have a good night's rest, and go tomorrow morning!" The white-haired and white-eyed old man, who was surrounded by the remaining ten samurai, gently turned over and dismounted.

And at this time, three more knights from the west rushed from the sandstorm.

"Military horses?"
