Chapter 32: Turning Back

The vastness and vastness of the Western Regions are unimaginable to ordinary people, especially in this era when there is almost no human development, and it is like the years of famine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The wind swept yellow sand around the sky, and a huge sandstorm was like a moving wall of earth. Scrape up to cover the sky, as if entering the end of the world.

Yun Yue sent the takin back to the city of the Great Moon Clan, and it was obvious that this creature living on the plateau was not suitable for living in the desert Gobi. Their nostrils don't close, and after a sandstorm, a lot of sand accumulates in their lungs, and they die a miserable death. Although this takin is not as rare as in later generations, as an important strategic material, it must not be wasted like this.

Out of the border of the Great Moon Clan, Yun Yue sighed why the Great Moon Clan has such a large population. The Ili and Irtysh rivers also have numerous small rivers that provide abundant water for crops and livestock. At this time, Xinjiang did not have many spicy desert areas. The famous Kumtag Desert does not seem to have the vastness of later generations in this era.

But after the Ili River, it's different, there are almost no big rivers. It is not uncommon to encounter a vast desert as far as the eye can see, in addition to sandstorms and terrible quicksands. The carriage couldn't sit down, and Yun Yue saw a horse stepping into the quicksand, and it was submerged in just one minute.

"How did you walk through this place before?" Yun Yue asked Lai La very suspiciously, remembering that this goods said that they had attacked Dawan once, but they withdrew because of poor supplies, and they also suffered a small loss when they retreated.

"Uh...... Last time, the villain did not accompany the army. However, according to people who have been there, many people died when they walked through here, and many horses died. At the beginning, he planned to destroy the Dawan Kingdom in one fell swoop, but when he passed through the desert, the losses were too great, and in the end it became a stalemate. In the end, the food and grass of the men and horses could not be supplied, so they had to retreat! Lai La said helplessly. This fat man was not in the army at all, and his body was so fat that no horse could carry him.

Following behind Yun Yue, the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water. Only Yun Yue knew that this thing was filled with a lot of ice in the hat, and he also carried a lot of ice in the pocket behind him. If it weren't for the ice that Yun Yue made with saltpeter, I am afraid that his life would have been lost.

Yun Yue was very helpless, there were too few camels. In those days, there were no camel bells of the Silk Road, and camels were called desert ships in the desert. But on the grassland, not many people are willing to raise it. Don't talk about eating too much, your temper is still bad. When it comes to estrus, it is also possible to bite someone to death. One of the Otsuki clans tied a camel to a pillar, only to forget to let it go at noon on the hottest day. As a result, when he went to untie the reins at night, the camel actually killed his master. Although the camel was killed in the end, the owner who was bitten to death did not survive.

Gathering all the camels of the Otsuki clan is only more than a thousand peaks. And the old and weak are seriously uneven, and some camels are already bald. Walking falteringly, no matter how anxious you are, it is useless. Yun Yue looked at it, this thing seemed to be older than the old grandmother's.

More than a thousand camels sound like a lot, but Yun Yue's tens of thousands of troops are so heavy. Moreover, the Yun family has always relied heavily on logistics, and the archers can't do without arrows. A three-male crossbow would not have a javelin-like crossbow, let alone bombs and oil. These two things are not only dangerous to transport, but they are also particularly cumbersome. The difficulty of transporting it is not ordinary.

"Master Hou, I heard the old people say that there are sometimes dark storms in this season. I heard that the Black Storm is ten times more powerful than the worst sandstorm. Legend has it that there were castles in some oases in this desert, but the black storm blew up and buried those castles. The villain thinks...... "Lai La is a little hesitant. A pair of watery little eyes secretly aimed at Yun Yue. I'm afraid that this new master will lose face!

"He who talks and talks half hides and half hides. You don't know that Ben Hou hates talking like this the most, and then talking like this. I will send you to feed the camels tonight, and you will not be allowed to eat or sleep until you have finished feeding the camels of a thousand peaks. Yun Yuejiang's face sank and said. Lai La, who was accompanying the cautious, suddenly became a bitter gourd face, he never thought that he would say such an effect. I had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"The villain thinks that we should withdraw our troops. Although Dawan horses are precious, we can get them back by using trade routes. The army is on an expedition, and now the logistics are unfavorable. Such an expedition is afraid to embark on the old path of the Otsuki clan. Lai La turned his heart and said his true thoughts. After all, once you lose the battle, you will be in this figure. It's a dream to want to run away, even if you don't get hacked to death by the Dawan people, you will be swallowed alive by the desert. The bones scattered along the way are not animal bones.

"Bold!" Ao Canghai, who had just run over, scolded. In his opinion, this dead fat man should be thrown to Poor Qi to eat. Ao Canghai has a natural aversion to this kind of person who is clumsy and cowardly. He is a soldier, and what he likes is the supreme bravery of the Jin Ge Iron Horse. This kind of bastard who is a bit of a sissy, it's better to get it in the pot and boil the oil. Even the oil shuttle should be fed to the dogs. Now he dares to give Yunhou an idea, it is really an uncle who can bear it, and an aunt who can't bear it.

"Lao Ao!" Yun Yue waved his hand, and Ao Canghai glared at Lai La and stopped talking.

"Let the whole army stop, let's go back." Yun Yue glanced at the rising sun. In order to be greedy and walk more, the march of the army is at night. It's best if you can come across an oasis, even if you don't have an oasis. Yun Yue also absolutely did not allow soldiers to march in the hot desert, and when the sun was up, the army would be encamped. It is much better to hide in the shade of a tent and raise a corpse than to march in the desert with a helmet and armor.

After coming out of the Great Moon Clan, he marched more than a thousand miles. It is a miracle that few soldiers fell ill or suffered from heat stroke.

"Master Hou! You can't listen to this fat man's nonsense. The guide said that as long as you go on for less than ten days. To be able to reach the country of Dawan, with our equipment and bravery. Defeating the Dawan people is like digging for something. Hearing Yun Yue's command, Ao Canghai was shocked. didn't care about threatening the fat man who delayed him to earn military merits, and hurriedly spoke to Yun Yue.

"Lao Ao! I'm afraid it will be too late if I don't leave! Yun Yue glanced at the sky, sighed helplessly and said.
