The weather was so nice.

Walking through this semi-desertified Gobi, and then beyond is the famous city outline area, as far as the eye can see, the blue, yellow and black intertwined land is endless, and the blue sky is pressed very low, as if to be stuck on the human scalp, but it does not give people a feeling of depression and suffocation, only feel that the world is vast, and the heart is about to be greatly stretched by this beautiful scenery.

Bai Dong once smiled and said to the flea, ordinary people stay here for a few years, and their experience may not increase, and the open-mindedness of a national minister is guaranteed to be there, the flea smiled and didn't say anything, she can only understand half of her husband's words recently, they are all for the country and the government, is it wrong to be a Xijun? It doesn't seem to be quite like it, why don't you see him saying these words to Sister Bitter Wine? She had secretly read Bai Dong's letter to Kujiu, which was nothing more than the fleshy words of 'sweet brother and sister'; Flea girl actually liked these touching words, but Fujun always liked to say some things in front of her, and it was obviously partial

Seeing a clear lake, the flea jumped off the horse gently, put herself on the bluestone on the shore, took off her shoes and socks, and soaked a pair of delicate little feet in the water, the cold lake water made her gasp, and wanted to withdraw her feet but was a little reluctant, compared with the warm embrace of her husband, the cold torture was sometimes a kind of enjoyment.

"From this high road, can you reach the snow-capped mountain you said?"

Seeing that Mrs. Flea wanted to rest, the special training team did not dare to come forward to disturb, and saw that it was almost noon, so they simply set up camp to rest. Altai personally brewed a bowl of milk tea and sent it over, and the flea looked at him, took the milk tea and took a sip. Frowning slightly. It's been almost two months since I came to the Western Regions. Or are you a little unaccustomed to the taste of milk tea: "Your tribe is on the snowy mountain ahead?" ”

"The graves of the tribesmen and my loved ones are also there"

Altai said calmly: "It is a beautiful place, there is a spring water that is clearer than here, and it is still warm; There is a palm-sized snow lotus, and when it is in full bloom, it looks like a beautiful flower carved from ice and snow. Every summer, I would use the snow fox skins I caught to go down the mountain to exchange for grain, for beautiful flower cloth, Ni Qiri and Ma Wu Ma liked the Qiang people's flower cloth the most, and Sang Jie liked the grapes in the middle of the Western Regions, and often hid them in snow caves. Deliberately let his sister not find it, and when his sister cried, he would try his best to make his sister happy, and he would have to take out all the grapes."

When he told these things, Altai's face was surprisingly calm, and he did not laugh or cry, as if he were telling someone else's story, but the flea could hear the emotion in his voice, just as his husband said. Altai has managed to digest hatred, grace or hatred. It's just the heaviest and most nostalgic part of his life.

People who have experienced great compassion in this way are already scholars, national scholars.

"The husband said that if Altai would shed tears when he came here, let me go back immediately; If Altai had looked at the sky and told the story slowly, we would have succeeded this time. It seems that you have not disappointed your husband, and we can move on. ”

The flea withdrew its feet, jumped up at once, and pointed to the snow-capped mountain in the distance and said, "Sue Mr. Sù Gongyi, we will camp in your tribe tonight."

***

When Flea and Altai left, even Pang Juan and Sun Bin didn't know where they had gone or what they were doing. Sylde learned to be coquettish for this, but he still couldn't get any information from Bai Dong's mouth, so he could only go to see Master Pang and Master Sun Bin in frustration

This kid always likes to hide from himself! Pang Juan is a person who likes to be in control, but unfortunately this time he met Bai Dong; Forget it, don't say it, don't say it, Lao Tzu is too lazy to ask, Alibaba is a good opponent, and there are many things he needs to worry about.

After the First Battle of Shanqiang, although the Persian army was defeated but not injured, Alibaba was originally a temptation, once he saw the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, his strategy also quickly changed, and also made Pang Juan, Sun Bin and Child, the three military geniuses, understand the horror of the Persian Empire for the first time.

Bai Dong has always been unable to figure out the question from Alibaba, in the early Warring States period, China in terms of military, political, cultural, and technological development was far better than the Persian Empire more than a hundred years ago, but why could the god king Xerxes wave thousands of miles to drink the Aegean Sea, but Huaxia couldn't?

Whether it is a historian of later generations or Bai Zi, who miraculously came to this era, has calculated an account, assuming that the major vassal states in the early Warring States period can work together and concentrate all the strategic resources of China to conquer Europe westward, can they ensure sufficient military resources and logistical supplies?

The answer is no, China may not lack troops, but it cannot support such a long period of logistical supply, let alone going to Europe, even if they go to Central Asia, soldiers may starve to death and freeze to death, and they will be greatly attrition because of water and soil adaptation! The provincial system of the Persian Empire seemed to solve this problem? But anyone who knows a little bit about history will know what the concept of the provinces of the Persian Empire was, that is, nothing more than conquered slaves and barbarians, who could provide enough supplies for the army. That's Arabian Nights, 10,000 times more bizarre than the story Bai Dong told Cao'er.

It's a slave, it's a barbarian!

All sorts of unknown races were driven by the Persians from the west of the green mountains, from the city area, like sheep, and they did not need to consume food, because they themselves were food!

Seeing the information sent back by Mu Xijing, Bai Dong was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that such a cruel thing was actually invented by the Persian Empire first. The legions of slaves driven by the Persians were called 'meat of action', and they marched even faster than the regular Persian army, with the result that a large number of weakened slaves died, and their corpses were made into jerky for other slaves and the Persian army!

This kind of thing happened during the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but it was because of the strong division and contention in the world and the difficulties of the people; An Lushan's rebellion also happened, when Zhang Patrol ran out of food when he was guarding Suiyang, he cooked his most beautiful concubine and distributed it to the soldiers, but it was for patriotism. It was a habit for the Persians to eat these 'operational meats', and whenever the great armies went on an expedition, they brought ten times as many slaves as the army, and the Persian army only had to carry less food, and they would have meat to eat wherever they went.

Pang Juan and Sun Bin faced Ali Baba even a hundred times more cruel than the God King Xerxes, and when the battle slowly pushed from the middle of the Western Regions to the city outline, the vanguard army led by Sylde finally had to stop, and the invincible Wei Wushu and Yongyi elite soldiers encountered the most shameless Persian army in the world.

Recalling that battle, even the battle-hardened Pang Juan and the naturally murderous Sylde would wake up in the middle of the night, not to mention Sun Bin, his military wisdom surpassed Pang Juan, but his ability to kill people was much worse than Pang Juan, and now even the war maniac would feel disgusted when he mentioned that battle, let alone him, now only the best Bai family tea can make him quiet and barely eat half a bowl of rice.

It's all blood

The deepest impression of that battle was that the blood covered the Gobi and soaked the originally beautiful grassland.

The Huaxia army was facing Alibaba's three legions, but in front of these three legions, there were 100,000 slaves! With no armor, no weapons, not even clothes, and some were simply naked, they were bound together with chains and hemp ropes, covering the ground within a radius of ten miles, and charged with their lives under the threat of the Persians' bows and arrows. Ali Baba has issued an order that the undead slaves who can survive this battle will be freed!

Slaves have no choice, and they don't want to choose, and it's better to die or be free than to be 'moving meat'! They used their bodies to consume the bows and arrows of the Huaxia army like madmen, gnawed the iron armor of Wei Wushu with their own teeth, and hindered the footsteps of the Huaxia cavalry with their companions and their own corpses

At this moment, life is so humble, even inferior to a weak ant, at this moment the eyes of all Chinese warriors are red, they can kill people, they can laugh at the enemy, but that is in the face of a fully armed enemy! Now their enemies hide behind these poor slaves and laugh at them, mocking them for being women, for being, for being soft-bogged.

Pang Juan gritted his steel teeth, and finally issued an order for the whole army to fight to the death, and Syald raised his head to the sky and roared, shouting in his mouth, 'Kill!' Kill! Kill! ’。 There is no mercy at all in the battle of the big army, and the Chinese army will collapse if it is weak, and no one can bear this responsibility.

The battle began, and the first half was a slaughter, or rather, a slaughter.

The horses of the Chinese cavalry were stimulated by the smell of blood and did not obey the order, the swords of the warriors were soaked in the blood of the slaves, dozens of heads were cut off, and even the hardest bronze swords were curled, a full hundred thousand slaves, forty percent were killed by the Persian rain of arrows, but sixty percent were killed by the Chinese army.

Almost all the Chinese warriors wept and slaughtered these poor slaves, including the newly captured Persians and the unknown race of unknown races who had followed the Persian army from the west of the Green Mountains; When their heads were cut off, they shouted all kinds of strange language, which was really hard to hear, but they were all human beings, and they were all living beings! In the face of such a killing that had to be carried out, Wei Wushu and the elite warriors from Lao Qin both felt that they were not human anymore, they were simply demons!

When the physically and mentally exhausted Chinese warriors finally rushed to the mountain of bloody corpses and rejoiced that they had left hell, they saw 30,000 smiling Persian elite soldiers; Ali Baba's three legions were all cavalry, with thin linen armor and terrifying helmets, and they sat on the tall horses of Flower Thorn Zimo, like a group of demons who had just rushed out of hell.

Pang Juan finally ushered in the first big defeat of his career (to be continued......
