Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Deserted Summer
"The barren summer solstice to the Central Plains, a distance of thousands of miles. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć If we rely on land logistics transportation, we will definitely not be able to support it with the existing capacity of the deserted summer. This is far from the strategic goal, so the land route cannot be chosen. Luo Chuan pointed out the conflict between strategic goals and existing strength.
"However, hot air balloons have very high requirements for wind power, and the wind is unpredictable outside of the deserted summer, and the load limit is huge. How can we guarantee the various resources of tens of thousands of troops? Xi voiced his doubts.
"Not a hot air balloon, but a waterway. The barren river has been flowing eastward into the East China Sea, and our army's eastward crusade relies on this life transportation line, and it will not be difficult to have a steamer. Moreover, the Hu people have no sailors, there is almost no defense on the water, and the logistics and transportation of our army are also guaranteed to be safe. Luo Chuan paddled along the barren river valley with his hands until he reached the Central Plains.
Luo Chuan believed that with this transportation line, with the lead in weapons, the Huangxia Army could be invincible.
In August of the lunar calendar, the soldiers went out in the summer.
Luo Chuan stood in the Chinese army, and a tall flag fluttered in the wind. The two big characters of 'Huangxia' above the banner are simple and unpretentious, and the font used is the most commonly used italic font of the Daxia people. It is convenient for everyone to identify, so as to tell the people of the world that this army of soldiers who do not wear summer clothes and do not tie their hair in a bun, their souls and roots are still Xia people.
The three big characters of "First Army" directly below the word Huangxia are like dragons, and the end of the pen is faintly with a knife light. It is to tell the people of the world that this army is a sharp blade, a sharp blade to guard Great Xia.
The army did not go directly south to the barren river, but attached to the northern mountain range, pulling a net to clear the Hu people outside the valley.
Up to now, within a radius of 200 miles outside the valley, there are almost all deserted castles. Close to the tributaries of the barren river in the central part of the country, the sergeants can also step on the bones when they walk on the road. The Xia people are almost gone, and this place has long become a paradise for the Hu people. Along the way, these soldiers have changed their whole appearance, they look murderous, they need to vent, they need to vent their anger on these butchers.
This kind of anger does not need to be channeled, and Luo Chuan is also ready to add fuel to the fire. There is only one military order, "Anyone who sees a Hu person will be killed." "How this land was once taken away by the Hu people, then Luo Chuan doesn't mind taking it back in the same way.
"Report, Commander." For the Xia people, the significance of ancestors is greater than reality. This title may also lead to the disgust of the Xia people in the Central Plains, and Luo Chuan forcibly changed the name of himself in the form of a military order before leaving the valley.
"The 1st Infantry Division, complete the northern clearance." As if talking about a trivial matter, Adong looked relaxed.
Bullying these small tribes of the Hu people is not something worth mentioning. Militarily speaking, it is not even up to tactical training, and at most it can be regarded as intensive training. If it weren't for the fact that these small tribes used the Xia people's skulls as decorations, Luo Chuan would not have planned to use the situation of pulling the net to make a big move.
"Sit down and rest, they're coming back soon!" In the tent, Luo Chuan kept writing and drawing according to the big map. Out of the deserted summer, Luo Chuan is blind, and now the situation in the Central Plains is unknown, and the situation of the enemy and the enemy is unknown. His own army appeared out of thin air, and it is still unknown whether it can be recognized by the Xia people in the Central Plains. There are many possibilities that Luo Chuan needs to respond, and he is responsible for these tens of thousands of people.
"Report to the army commander, the 2nd Infantry Division has completed the central clearance. By the way, we have also found a fortress where the Xia people gathered in size of 10,000 people, and I have arranged for the brigade commander below to negotiate. If they wish, they can be allowed to move to Desert Summer on their own. Yun Dian's body was straight and his report was meticulous.
"Report to the army commander, the 3rd Infantry Division has completed the southern clearance. According to the Forward Army, Xiguan was littered with corpses. Looking at the clothes of the corpses, they are all the defenders of the place. It must have been more than half a year since it was attacked. After speaking, Qi walked to the front of Luo Chuan's map, and drew a small circle on the map under Luo Chuan's instructions.
Judging from the map, the Hu people of the Central Plains naturally did not go far and ran to attack Xiguan. It must be the Hu people in the west, and in terms of scale and time, there is only one person in the west who has the ability to attack Xiguan. "Runebe!"
It seems that his old opponent is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he was just defeated, and immediately attacked the border pass of Wei. Luo Chuan suddenly had an illusion that he would definitely cross paths with this old opponent again during this trip.
Throwing off his thoughts, Luo Chuan glanced at a few people, "Why hasn't Lu Qing come back yet?" ā
About half an hour, in the expectation of everyone, Lu Qing hurriedly came. Lu Qing was covered in blood at the moment, and it seemed that there should have been a big battle just now, and everyone sitting here suddenly stood up.
"Report to the army commander, our department found a large group of Hu people in the southeast barren river. It seemed that they wanted to march here, so I led the cavalry brigade and made a useless charge. No fewer than 10,000 people were beheaded. In the end, these Hu people didn't even dare to chase us. Lu Qing said excitedly.
Luo Chuan knew that he had not suffered a loss as soon as he saw him, so he was a little relieved and continued to ask about the specific situation of this group of Hu people. "How big is the other party?"
Lu Qing thought for a while before answering, "The scale is quite large, at least more than 100,000, by the way, they don't seem to have any cattle and sheep, and even horses are rare." All of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, and they should be out of food for many days. ā
"No food?" A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Chuan's mouth.
"Oh yes, when I attacked, I found that there were quite a few women among them. But those women were all unclothed, and were locked in a fence like cattle and sheep..."Lu Qing said here, interrupted by Luo Chuan.
"Are those people the Karma?" Luo Chuan's eyes had turned blood-red. When I pretended to be Hu people in the deserted castle, I had heard of this group of demons, who ate human flesh and raised young girls of the Xia people as two-legged sheep. Kill food during the day, **** at night.
"They don't have a flag, and they don't know which one of them is. However, the appearance is more distinctive, with deep eyes, many beards, and a high nose. Lu Qing briefly summarized the other party's appearance.
"Do you know Elder Eagle?" None of my own group of people have ever seen the appearance of the Karma people, so naturally they can't tell the difference.
"What General Lu said is very close to the appearance of the people in the book." Ying Lao has only seen the description of the people from the text, and Lu Qing is only a verbal description, so I am not sure.
For Luo Chuan, whether it is or not, such a large-scale Hu tribe is on its own path. There is no reason to let it go.
"The generals listened to the order, and immediately gathered the whole army, and marched according to the position shown in the map. Remember that this time it was not a defeat, but a total annihilation, understand? "I didn't expect the first battle of the deserted summer to come so quickly. Now that he is here, Luo Chuan wants to make a good start for this crusade.
"The last general commands."
"The last general commands."
"The last general commands."
"The last general commands."
Four in a row, each busy.
"Eagle Senior, let's move forward with our military headquarters! I'll show you a big play! Luo Chuan smiled, not worried about the outcome of this battle.
