, the sky is high and the sea is wide, and the wind on the seashore with a slight saltiness suddenly passes by.

With a hot flow and a slight fishy smell, it adds a touch of stickiness to people's bodies.

Raise your hand to wipe the sweat beads off her face, and there is a slight burning pain on her face. It is due to the wind and sun exposure, which makes the skin that is not suitable for the environment here cracked.

"It's really boring here, except for the sand and the sand." Su Dingfang grabbed a handful of sand and threw it out casually, and said.

Xia Hongsheng smiled: "You are wrong. There are a lot of treasures under the sand. Oil knows no, it is the raw material for us to make gasoline and asphalt - at the moment, the technology is not enough, and in the future, things that use this thing as raw material may involve all aspects of life. According to the current speed of Datang's development, it will take a hundred years at most. A hundred years later, this thing is almost as important as water. The Great Eclipse, and Persia, including this part of the Persian Gulf, do you know how much oil is underneath? ”

"How much?" Su Dingfang asked casually.

"If there were ten oils in the world, five of them would be owned here." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile.

Su Dingfang hissed: "Good guy, it's really a treasure." It's just that the people are a little worse. ”

While talking, I only heard a sudden "goo" sound in my ears, and everyone followed the voice, seeing Xue Rengui holding his stomach a little embarrassed, and seeing everyone looking at him, he sneered: "I haven't eaten for most of the day, and I'm hungry." ”

"It's almost done." Xia Hongsheng's subordinates didn't stop, and Qi Yong next to him also kept keeping his hands, and the two of them had a handful of bamboo sticks in their hands, on which there were fist-sized pieces of meat, which were roasting on the fire that was erected, and they were sizzling.

After days of fighting, it was rare to have leisure, and today was finally free, everyone secretly went out of the camp to find a remote place to open a small stove, eat some freshly roasted meat, although there was no wine, but they all brought their own tea, gathered together to eat, drink and chat, which was regarded as emptying their minds.

"I don't know if Wu Qi is going well." Li Yexu took out the seasoning from his waist and sprinkled it on those meat skewers, saying as he sprinkled.

"Rest assured, their skills are no worse than Datang Blade. They are the Tang Blades on the sea. Xia Hongsheng has great confidence in their ability: "I will definitely be able to complete the task." Even if you can't complete the task due to an accident, at least you can still get out of the way. ”

Xia Hongsheng sent Wu Qi to lead the No. 50 marines to quietly land from Aden and go to Turgy to secretly investigate, first, to find out the situation along the way and the movements of the great cannibals, and second, to find a wild road that could avoid the villages and towns to reach Turgbai. The terrain between Aden and Tulbay is not complicated, and the wild road is not too difficult to walk as long as you can find the direction.

Try to avoid the sight of the big cannibals, and under the rapid march, maybe you can suddenly appear behind Turbay and take the big food army gathered in Turbay by surprise.

"Boom-boom-" There was another sound of artillery in the distance, and because it was too far away, it was only a dull, rapid and dense few rounds. After a while, it was silent again.

"They're addicted!" Li Chongyi looked in that direction: "The big cannibal is really persistent. In the previous attack on Tianzhu, as soon as the artillery rang out, the Tianzhu soldiers thought that the ghosts and gods in the sky had come down, and as soon as the weapons in their hands were lost, they knelt on the ground and surrendered. Later, when the king of the sun surrendered, he also called the chief cow the messenger of Lord Shiva. ”

"It's a pity that the Great Cannibals didn't think of us as messengers of Allah." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "I really hope that we can also have 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we have already conquered the city in the land of Great Eclipse." ”

After that, he said again: "It's done!" ”

Everyone's eyes had already been attracted by the big meat skewers in Xia Hongsheng's hand, and as soon as they heard what Xia Hongsheng said, they immediately reached out and grabbed it, and each grabbed a string and gnawed it regardless of the hot mouth.

"It's still Brother Sheng'er's methods!" Su Dingfang shouted as he gnawed.

said that everyone was chatting while eating, and the conversation was also about the situation of the big food.

“…… Now we have the right to control the sea, and Da Shi has a long coastline. Xia Hongsheng drank tea and said to everyone: "Actually, we don't have to limit our vision to this. On the long coastline of the Great Food Country, how could he garrison all of them to defend? It would not be enough to mobilize all his country. And this long coastline, we can land anywhere. ”

"He has gathered his army in Thurbay, so that we can bypass Turgbai and land in Aden. After destroying a large number of his living forces in Tulbai, his army will be assembled in Aden, and when the time comes, we can even do without Aden, sail away, and take advantage of the fact that the army of the Great Food is all gathered at the southern end of the peninsula, and quickly circle into the Persian Gulf, land directly at the end of the Persian Gulf, and attack its hinterland. The armies are all at the southern end, and the hinterland must be empty, and we can easily take a large number of fortresses. By the time it mobilizes its army and turns north, we will have already taken a number of cities. ”

"In the future, when there are more of our ships, we can even land along the coastline to see which end of its army can take care of? Divide troops to fight, it is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, gather a large army to attack one point, and many other points will inevitably be lost. Without the right to control the sea, the coastal areas are not up to us! We can go wherever we want, and we can go ashore from wherever we want! ”

And when the people had been talking until the day was getting wester, they got up, pushed the sand with their feet, buried the fire, and went back to the tent.

After waiting for a few more days, Wu Qi and the others finally came back.

When I learned that Wu Qi and the others had returned, it was already midnight. Xia Hongsheng immediately got up, asked the others to rest first, and called Wu Qi into the tent.

"Have you ever found the way?" Xia Hongsheng asked a little urgently.

Wu Qi saluted and said, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" The last general led people from Aden to land at night, and Aden was slightly patrolled, not like a great food army, but like a brave country. The last general sent people into the village and explored the surroundings, but there was no trace of the Great Food Army garrisoned. It's all brave people patrolling back and forth. The last general and others went all the way down to the southwest, but there were many villages along the way, and it was thought to be a place near the sea, which was more livable than the land. If you go a little deeper, it is a sea buckthorn land, but it is uninhabited, and the army can pass! ”

"Is there an oasis in between? Is there a water source? Xia Hongsheng asked again.

"It's a land of sea buckthorn, not a desert. There are some small oases, but they are not large enough to hide the horses. And there is no open water available. Wu Qi said: "There are only three big oases in the middle, which can hide people and horses." But there are two of them, and the water is dirty and people are not allowed to drink, and most of them are under the sand. Wu Qi said: "The big oasis with water is not far from Turbay, and it can be used as a camping place. However, before that, there was nowhere else to supply fresh water, except for the places where people gathered in villages along the way, which could be used for drinking. ”
