Chapter 557: Karma
What is the most in the vast desert, of course, is countless sands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn this sand that connects the sky and the earth, there are countless oases for people and all kinds of life in the desert to live here.
"Karma" means star, and this "Karma" is the name of an oasis here, which means one of the many stars in the sky. Yes, it's just an oasis, there are so many in the desert, and this "Karma" is indeed a very ordinary oasis, like a very ordinary one among the many stars in the night sky.
But since a group of people took possession of the Karma, the Karma has become a nightmare instead of being ordinary. A nightmare that everyone fears and hates. "Karma" has become a synonym not only in Dawan, but also in the entire desert, synonymous with horse bandits!
At its peak, the number of horse bandits entrenched in the Karma reached nearly 1,000. It has become a holy place for all horse bandits in the whole desert, and at the height of the Karma, many horse bandits even come from thousands of miles to participate in the horse bandit festival. In the past, the power of the Dawan Kingdom was also in crisis because of the power of the horse bandits who occupied the Karma.
However, three years ago. Since the eldest prince of Dawan has never appeared in the public eye, he has enough mystery to personally take eight hundred knights to disguise himself as horse bandits, and swaggered into this holy place of horse bandits. The witty eldest prince made full use of the grievances and grievances that the horse bandits only saw, and provoked a small-scale armed fight, and at this time, the eight hundred knights led by the eldest prince suddenly came out, and joined forces with the army that had been agreed with a long time ago, and turned this horse bandit's holy place into ruins in one fell swoop. And it was from here that the eldest prince began to become famous in the desert.
Although the Karma bandits were exterminated by the Grand Prince, strange noises were heard whenever passing merchants passed through this oasis. And then another mythical story came out. Although the eldest prince killed all the Karma bandits, because the Karma bandits were so evil and resentful of the eldest prince, they all entrenched in the Karma and waited for the next leader of the bandits to appear and lead them to take revenge on the eldest prince. In order to suppress these so-called fierce spirits, the eldest prince plunged his sword from the former leader of the horse bandits into the lake in the center of the oasis, so during the day, this oasis looks so beautiful, but at night, it is a hellish scene. However, when someone who can take over as the leader of the horse bandits appears, I am afraid that even the great prince's sword will not be able to stop these vengeful spirits.
When this story was revealed, the merchants of the past never visited the Karma for ten miles since. In reality, however, this Karma became a secret military base for the Grand Prince. Here, the surrendered horse bandits and the half-grown children of the horse bandits were imprisoned by the eldest prince, who constantly brainwashed them and trained them with the harshest training. Now three years have passed, and it is here that the eldest prince has trained an army of nearly seven hundred Reapers.
Karma! It has become the eldest prince's biggest secret, and it has also become the eldest prince's last capital, and now, this is about to become the place where the eldest prince lives and dies.
Two days earlier, King Dawan's Praetorian Guard had come five miles north of the Karma, and many soldiers had exchanged words about the horrors of the Karma. But Cao Chun, who came from the Han Dynasty, didn't believe in the existence of any powerful souls. Cao Chun took advantage of the rest of the army and secretly entered the karma with twenty Cao family members. In less than an hour, Cao Chun returned with twenty-three people. The three extra men were the guards that the eldest prince had placed in the Karma. Under torture, the myth of the eldest prince in the Karma was finally revealed. The soldiers were finally able to settle down with confidence. And in order to save those poor children, the general of the Praetorian Guard decided to uproot this tumor army before hitting the road.
However, when it was dawn the next day, the sentry rode around and found a large army. Just as they were about to go back to report the news, a group of cavalry rushed out and a group of prince's sentry horsemen who had already spotted them and lurked behind them. They didn't die, because the eldest prince needed to get them to give him a message, "A battle of life and death is in Karma!" The Great Han Iron Rider? I'm looking forward to it! ā
The simple sixteen words represent the meaning of the eldest prince. This is the place where I rose, and after the great war here, whether I live or die, I will be here. I'm here to fight!
When the Praetorian Guard General and Cao Chun received this news, the two did not need to discuss, and immediately wrote two letters, one to the west and one to the east. The west side is Ding Chong, and the east side is naturally Ma Chao.
As soon as the army set out, Ding Chong always hid and hid, in addition to looking for some necessary water sources, Ding Chong began to wonder if there were only me and the five thousand soldiers behind me in this world. And when he went to look for water, Ding Chong was also very careful to send people to take advantage of the lack of people in some oases. It can be said that Ding Chong's work of hiding traces has been done very well. And the result of this is that the messenger of the Praetorian Guard general also took a lot of effort to find Ding Chong's location.
Ma Chao, who was in the east, had been advancing as fast as possible while remaining concealed since he attacked the large camp arranged by the eldest prince on the front line. And when the eldest prince and King Dawan's Praetorian Guards met, Ma Chao was already not far from the Second Division City. Ma Chao looked at the map of Dawan in front of him, and had already made a plan to attack Ershi City.
When Ma Chao asked the accompanying guide how far away his current location was from the Second Division City, the guide said speechlessly, why do you Han generals like to dig out people's back roads. When Ma Chao heard this, he laughed, "Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king." Attacking the enemy at an unexpected time will definitely have an unexpected time. ā
Ma Chao's simple three surprises completely threw the guide into the muddy pot.
But it turns out that Ma Chao's harvest is really unexpected. After Ma Chao led more than 6,000 knights to the Second Division City in the starry night, the Second Division City was already an empty city.
The entire city, not to mention any more important people under the command of the eldest prince, even the army that maintains the city's security on a daily basis is less than 200 people. Ma Chao, who happily rushed to the Second Division City, only got an empty shell.
