Chapter 263: Fierce Battle in the Valley of Death
In the past few days, the tiger's eyes have turned red, and he can't wait to kill these annoying flies with a knife; But no matter how much he tempted the extra troops to encircle and suppress, he could only be led by the nose by the cunning enemy, and came to the depths of the desert step by step. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The sun is like fire, and the scorching sun is steaming; He licked his thirsty lips and picked up the kettle to pour another sip of water; Then I heard my men shouting, "What's that?" Look! It's an oasis! Discover the Oasis! ”
One sentence immediately lifted the spirit of General Huya, and he tried to open his eyes wide and look ahead; I saw a large oasis in the distance, and there were still many people shuttling in it.
"It's the enemy's lair! God help me! On my orders, the army marched at full speed, annihilated the enemy, and we marched for three days! When his men heard this, their eyes turned red, and they rushed over with a loud shout.
But they rushed for more than ten miles, exhausted one by one, and did not find the oasis. "It's not going to be a mirage, is it? Have we reached the legendary Valley of Death? ”
As soon as their words fell, suddenly a group of figures appeared on the sand dunes in front of them, and it was Luo Lian, whom they hated to the bone, who was the first.
Huya was just about to order the team to rush forward and break Luo Lian's body into pieces, but then his eyes widened instantly; A dark shadow emerged from behind the dunes. "Is this true or fake?"
Just as he was hesitating, there was a shout of murder all around, and then the men rushed down.
"It's true! We're surrounded! Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy! ”
Although the Turkic army was superior in numbers, they were too tired; I couldn't eat and sleep for several days, and I had rushed more than ten miles just now, and I was already sleepy and tired; Fatigue to the extreme.
Lao Cheng is different, they have been repairing here for almost a day, and they have just enjoyed the beauty of a mirage; It's the time of abundance. This charge is really like a tiger, a Masai dragon; The rain of arrows kept pouring down.
Under the leadership of each captain, the wind character master was broken into pieces, shouting and galloping; Lao Cheng and Luo Liang Shitai rushed into the enemy group and went straight to Huya; Interceptions along the way were cut down by them.
It was not easy for Huya to be able to get the favor of Aoji, he saw at a glance the shortcomings of the enemy's small number, and ruthlessly abandoned the troops on the periphery; Command the men and horses around him to form a barrel formation, and while firing back with bows and arrows, they will charge outward in batches.
Most of the men and horses on the periphery were killed, and the rest scattered under the leadership of the chief; Then there was a circle back, supporting Huya from the periphery.
Although Cheng Zhijie wiped out about 3,000 enemies at once, he couldn't gnaw at the iron bucket array in front of him, and the harassment of those flies outside made the war fall into a scorching situation; No one is anyone.
Seeing that it was already evening, the people on both sides were a little anxious, Lao Cheng was worried that he would not be able to take the enemy, and Huya was worried that it would be another half-day battle; The team's fitness has reached its limit; I don't know when it will collapse.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and someone said, "The wind is blowing?" "Then the wind arose, and then the wind howled, and the sand was lost; The battlefield was so dark that there was almost no one on the other side.
"The mirage has appeared! Heaven destroys the Turks! The mirage has appeared! Cheng Zhijie took the lead in shouting, and his soldiers were also in high spirits, followed the shouting, and then rushed towards the Turkic position.
The general of Huya was shocked when he heard this, they were at the downwind, and the war horses that sat down were so frightened that they could no longer hold their formation and began to flee in all directions; Although those Turkic warriors wanted to control it, they were already powerless, and could only let their mounts run around.
Cheng Zhijie and the others took the opportunity to rush forward, and the wind character master was the bow and arrow in Shunfeng's hand, regardless of whether it was accurate or not, and shot it if he didn't want to die. Lao Cheng, Jiang Lian, and Liang Shitai were still full of physical strength, and the blades in their hands danced open, and no one could stop them, and it didn't take long for them to rush to the front of Huya.
Huya saw that the general trend was gone, and ordered his personal guards to go up to resist, but he secretly led people to withdraw from the battle and escaped.
"Huya is dead! Kill the Tiger Tooth! Cheng Zhijie roared, the Turks were shocked when they heard this, the battlefield was dark, and where could they still see people; And when they couldn't hear Huya's answer, everyone took it for granted that Huya had been killed by the enemy, and shouted and fled in all directions.
Cheng Zhijie also let the team scatter and chase in all directions; This battle is over when the sun goes down and the wind stops; Slowly, the tracking team returned one after another, and the harvest was also counted.
In this battle, the 3,000 Wind Character Division lost more than 400 people, but 6,000 enemy soldiers were killed, and of course, a large part of them trampled on each other.
In addition to the 10,000 Turkic warriors who were killed, some fled to the desert and did not know their fate or death; Some get lost in the wind and don't know where to go; In total, only about 1,000 people escaped with Huya. Huya wanted to cry without tears, gathered the rout, and then led people out of Hanhai, and returned to Lin to report to Aoji.
Cheng Zhijie gave Bai Yi all the captured horses, baggage, and blades, and then repaired the oasis for a day; They were instructed to be on guard to prevent the enemy from retaliating.
Bai Yi thought so, and he and his daughter Bai Yuhua prepared to guide Cheng Zhijie, and let Tie Ying lead the clansmen to start migrating later, trying to take shelter in the depths of the Hanhai Sea temporarily.
After entering the desert, the performance of Cheng Zhijie and others surprised Bai Yi's father and daughter, who were bent on showing it and winning back a game.
They were well-equipped, all their bare skin was wrapped in black gauze, and their heads were covered with a layer of gauze, which amazed Bai Yi's father and daughter, who were full of fine sand; I asked them for some gauze and wrapped myself in it.
They are equipped with high-waisted hard-soled leather boots, which do not worry about sand getting into the shoes and abrasive the soles of their feet, but also save energy.
They can easily distinguish between the virtual and the real of the dunes, and have been walking on windward winds or sand ridges. It receives the effect of wind erosion, which is more solid and saves physical strength.
They are nocturnal and are better able to maintain their strength and avoid the midday sun burn.
For every hour they walked, they rested for a quarter of an hour; Only within this quarter of an hour is it allowed to take small sips of some drinking water. Thousands of armies were meticulously executing this order, and not one of them stole a sip.
This made Bai Yi's father and daughter, who licked their thirsty lips from time to time, slowly retract the hand that touched the kettle at their waist.
The journey along the way made Bai Yi's father and daughter feel that they were not as good as the heavy camels that followed, and their hearts were full of loss.
In the evening, the men took out a huge leather pouch and slipped into it next to the warhorse, and soon entered the dream.
"Demon King, there is an oasis not far ahead, we can go there and resupply it again!" After such a long period of contact, Bai Yi already knew Cheng Zhijie's identity, and he also called the Demon King Chitose with everyone.
Cheng Zhijie nodded and said: "That's great, this walk is more than half a month, and the brothers are already tired, so they also took the opportunity to repair for two days." ”
Bai Yi seemed to have finally found his value, and the next morning, he urged the team to hurry up, and they had only walked twenty or thirty miles, when suddenly there was a clanging sound, and a group of people riding camels suddenly appeared behind the opposite sand dune.
As soon as these people saw the army of Cheng Zhijie and the others, their colors changed even more, and they shouted, turned around and ran back.
"It's a sand pirate!" Bai Yi exclaimed: "How could these things appear here!" Cheng Zhijie frowned and asked, "Bai Yi, what is a sand thief?" ”
"It's a robber in the desert! Although these guys are few in number, their methods are extremely cruel, and everyone they catch is tortured and killed, and they never leave a mouth alive. It seems that they have taken over this oasis, and the people who pass through it are miserable. ”
Cheng Zhijie's face changed and he said to Liang Shitai: "Take a team of people to exterminate them, I don't need to live!" Liang Shitai promised to take more than 100 people and chase after the fleeing sand thieves.
Cheng Zhijie and the others slowly hurried forward behind, and by the time they arrived at the oasis, the battle was basically over.
There were only 100 of these sand pirates, and they usually wandered in the desert, robbing small caravans that were unwilling to pay taxes and ventured into the Hanhai. This time, they had just robbed a caravan of dozens of people and got some supplies to repair here, but they didn't expect to provoke Cheng Zhijie, the plague god.
"Big brother! All have been wiped out, ninety-seven in all; We had a dozen wounded, no dead. These bastards were so cruel that their captives were gouged out one by one, their hands cut off, their feet cut off, and each of them had no less than twenty stab wounds; Oh, yes, they still have a Hu man left behind and haven't killed yet; But it's almost like dying. ”
Bai Yi asked, "Does General Liang know what kind of sand pirate group they are?" Liang Shitai said: "He said it, but I didn't remember it." Their three chieftains were Usman, Jukui, and Alihan; I smashed them all to the ground. ”
Bai Yi exclaimed, "It's the Three Demons of the Desert; These guys are the most ferocious and cunning, and they deserve to die at the hands of General Liang today. These guys have committed frequent crimes in the past few years, and they have a lot of savings in their hands, and General Liang has gained a lot! ”
"I'm having someone tidy up, and I'll bring it out for my eldest brother to look at in a while. These people seem to have just robbed a caravan in the Western Regions, and there are some strange things that need to be taken a look at by the eldest brother. ”
Cheng Zhijie nodded slightly and said, "Okay!" You arrange for people to count first, and we'll set up camp by the water to repair it! ”
It didn't take long for Liang Shitai to run over with a lot of things; As soon as he got closer, everyone smelled a strange aroma.
"Big brother......" This guy opened his mouth, and the aroma was soaring, which made Cheng Zhijie frown, making him take three steps back; That's when I feel like my nose is feeling better.
