Da da da, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the wasteland, bursts of cheers followed, facing the rising sun, a large group of cavalry appeared, the guns on the vigorous war horses were bright, and a big flag fluttering in the wind was particularly eye-catching.

"It's the border army, and the border army is coming."

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, several fast horses are approaching, the royal forest army camp is separated from the left and right, and the first few people who ran are the guards sent yesterday, at this time with a proud face urging the war horses, the guards are followed by a person, wearing armor, with a long sword at the waist, judging from the dress, it should be the general of the border army.

"Phew!"

Holding the horse rope and pulling it hard, the war horse ridden by everyone's crotch was also strictly trained, a neigh, the four hooves stopped abruptly forward, and several people turned over and jumped down, bowing and saluting, "My lord, live up to your trust and find the border army." ”

"Well done."

The corners of the mouth of the deputy commander of the guard curled slightly, and the leader of the Imperial Forest Army snorted coldly, no one is convinced of the ability, sometimes he is afraid of comparison, his two groups of people have been out for two days and have not heard from him, and the people in the guard battalion have only been out for one day to find the border army, whether they are lucky or not, the result is better than everything.

"Zhang Qiang, the deputy general of the border army, was ordered to command the new department to come to greet His Highness."

"Hard work General Zhang."

Someone had already trotted all the way to inform the prince Zhu Biao that the border army had arrived, although it was worth waiting for two days, at least it was worth it, this place was close to the border, the four fields were empty, and although there was a large army stationed in front, it was still impossible to guarantee absolute safety.

"Your Highness, the people of the guard battalion have found the border army."

The curtain was lifted, revealing Zhu Biao's slightly pale face, "Okay, let's leave immediately." The curtain fell, Zhu Biao's whole person leaned on it, bumpy all the way, especially to the border, the road became more and more difficult to walk, and people were also uncomfortable in the carriage, originally thought that it was a good thing to go out of the capital, and did not want to be a chore, food, use, and housing, which could not be compared with their own East Palace.

Zhu Biao was in a hurry to set off, not only to complete the task assigned by the emperor as soon as possible, but also to meet someone this time, a person who was beneficial to himself, the last time he saw it was six years ago, time flies really fast, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, Lan Yu has also become the soul of the Ming Army from the deputy in the army that year, which can be seen from the name of General Weizhen.

Lan Yu likes to show off, and also pays attention to pomp, every time he travels, there are dozens of people around him, or even close to a hundred, of course, there is no use, what he wants is that feeling, how Zhu Yuanzhang is not clear, in this case, he simply let him show off, and personally ordered the canonization of General Weizhen, and the mansion is also much bigger than others.

"General Zhang, did you find any abnormalities along the way?"

Zhang Qiang shook his head, "There is nothing abnormal, why do you ask like this?" ”

The leader of the Imperial Forest Army smiled indifferently, "It's just a casual question, everything is for the sake of His Highness's safety." "Say so on your mouth, don't think so in your heart, I sent out more than a dozen people have not heard from me, and when I leave, I take the map I drew with me, as long as I follow the marks on it, I will definitely be able to find the border army, which has been verified from the guard battalion, if this is the case, it should be my own people to find it first!

muttering in my heart is not that I am worried about the safety of these people, but I just don't want to have accidents along the way.

"My lords, when will Your Highness leave?"

At this time, a person approached quickly, it was Qi Tai, a close confidant of the prince, who was in the military department, and came to look up and down recently, "What position do you have in the army?" ”

"Former adjutant general."

Qi Tai nodded, this is reasonable, he is in the military department, he is very familiar with the generals in the army, but the army led by Lan Yu is different, leading the army to fight outside all the year round, and the generals in the army will inevitably be replaced, some generals are temporarily resigned, and they need to wait until the battle is over, and it will be reported to the imperial court according to the size of the military merit, and it can only take effect after approval.

"Where is the army stationed at this time?"

Zhang Qiang arched his hand and said: "The Yuan cavalry invaded the territory and destroyed the border fortress, and the general led the crowd to pursue, and the army had entered the desert at this time. ”

"Desert!"

When it comes to the desert, several people's faces changed slightly, compared to the desert in the Yuan population here, the grassland and the desert are connected, and it is easy for people to get lost when they get inside, of course, the most important point is the water source, hundreds of thousands of troops, the daily consumption of water is amazing, if the water source cannot be found, or it is controlled by the Yuan people, the army will inevitably be difficult to move an inch.

"It's too abrupt to march into the army so recklessly!"

Qi Tai is familiar with the art of war, the dynasties and generations deal with these nomads know how to deal with them, Qin to the Great Wall to resist the fierce Hun cavalry, to the Han Dynasty, disputes continue, the Huns are also the strongest, but unfortunately they met the hard master, the Han Wu Emperor did not hesitate to lose the national strength and the Huns, the same out of several great heroes, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing are rare good generals, the late Han Dynasty princes disputed, the war lasted for many years, and finally three points of the world returned to Jin, the strength of the Jin Dynasty could not compete with the surrounding nomads, Wuhu chaos, the Han people were almost killed.

Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny established the Great Song Dynasty, when the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were taken away has always become a pain in the hearts of the Song people, the Great Liao, Khitan, Jurchen have risen, the shame of Jingkang, let the Han people bear more shame, and finally survived for decades The Southern Song Dynasty could not bear the fate of the Mongol iron horse scimitar to go to the country.

For these people who are like tigers and wolves, there is only one way to solve the problem, so that the threat disappears completely, which Zhu Yuanzhang also knows very well, and only Lan Yu can do this.

"The general is like a god with soldiers, and this battle should destroy the main force of the Yuan people."

"General Lan is brave, and he has always admired him, but unfortunately it is always rare to see." The leader of the Imperial Forest Army smiled, Hu Weiyong fell, and the situation in the entire capital became more and more complicated.

Except for one person, it is the person sitting in the carriage, the prince Zhu Biao, who can pose a threat to Zhu Biao and is almost uprooted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"General Zhang, can you leave?"

"Guard."

With an angry shout, the flag in his hand shook, worthy of being a battle-hardened elite, the cavalry instantly left and right, leaving a certain space in the middle, worthy of being a military background, doing things without delay, turning the horse's head and running straight ahead.

The convoy set off, as soon as the border army arrived, the entire defense was loosened, the periphery was protected by the border army, the royal forest army and the guard battalion were completely relaxed at this moment, thinking that they were about to arrive at the border, talking and laughing with each other, at this moment it seemed that everyone had forgotten the pass that disappeared on the map, even if it was destroyed by the Yuan people, at least some traces should be left, why is there still an empty wasteland in front of them.

Lin Fengren looked ahead on the horse, and the journey was smooth, when passing through the dense forest, there were two bandits, but dozens of people, just standing on a high place and watching, facing an elite army of more than 100 people, they could only look at it, those large and small vehicles, which must be filled with valuable things.

If it weren't for the prince's noble status, it would have been easier along the way, this has always been the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the accompanying escort of the prince is not weak, each of them is carefully selected to be elite, even if it is faced with double the enemy, it is completely self-preservation.

Lin Feng let out a sigh of relief, could it be that he was too worried, or because of the bloody handprints that appeared that night, he always tried to find the flaws or clues left by the opponent along the way, and it was precisely because of this that he secretly sent Tang Niu and Flying Swallow to investigate along the way.

The moonlight is charming, the feet are soft sand, walking on it is particularly pleasant, this should be the legendary desert, it is said that through this desert you can see a large oasis, nature creates a terrifying desert at the same time, do not forget to leave people hope, if it is not that charming oasis, people walking in the desert can not support it at all, the belief in the heart will be crushed by the ruthless wind and sand.

In the night, the wind and sand moved with the wind, and suddenly the wind was blowing, and a valley mouth appeared in front of it, which was completely blown by the wind from the inside, unlike the valley formed between the two mountains.

"Protect Your Highness."

The wind and sand were too big, the war horses neighed, and if they hadn't pulled hard, they would have fled, and the guard camp quickly closed, and at that moment the screams came out in the middle of the camp.
