Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dark Horse Howls the West Wind

On the border of Qingzhou, the endless army marched on the yellow sand, with uniform armor, unified turbans, and unified masks, which looked like exactly the same bitter poplar trees.

But this does not affect their ability to recognize their comrades without any difference, a movement, a look, is enough for them to know that the person next to them can stand behind them.

There are a total of thirteen states in the Duan Dynasty, one state and three counties, such as Qiling County, where Li Village is located, which belongs to Yuezhou, which is already the easternmost part of the Duan Dynasty, on the contrary, the westernmost is Qingzhou.

Qingzhou has been a bitter cold land since ancient times, and it is also the only one with five counties in the Duan Dynasty, but there are only two counties that can really live, and most of the east is a desert, and the west extends to the plateau.

The remaining land of the three counties is simply a dead place, so that near the north of the dynasty, it is full of yellow sand.

In the ranks of the marchers, a tall man covered his face and licked his lips, he was very thirsty now, but he did not have time to drink.

If Li Qinghe was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this tall man was the man called Second Brother who sent back his father's bones.

"Second brother, second brother, look what I found!"

A thin man rode up and stretched out his hand, a small lizard shivering with a stunned eyes.

"Shhhh

The second brother looked left and right, and was relieved that he didn't find the patrol figure.

"Frizzy, you are the first to die in a fight, sixth child!"

"You said the wrong second brother, the first one to run should be him, this kid, with two oil canisters hanging on his legs. The fourth child on the side said with a smile.

"Fourth brother, I saw you running the slowest last time when you charged. ”

"You kid, look for a fight!"

"Okay! everyone, set up camp and make trouble, so that the patrol will find out, and the eldest brother can't stop it. The second brother said in a deep voice, and the two of them retreated.

The frontier army marched slowly against the sun until it went down.

Because the march was too long, each part could only be stationed in place, and it just so happened that the part where the second brother was located caught up with a small sand city, which was a great blessing in this realm where ghosts did not want to come.

The night in Qingzhou is very cold, and the soldiers like to gather around the fire in twos and threes, talking nonsense from all over the world, and the border army is the most oily, which is not false at all.

"Where's the big brother?"

"I went to the city, said to see if there was any meat, and thought about buying some. ”

Several people nodded, and couldn't help but swallow.

There were a total of four people around the fire, in addition to the 'second brother', 'fourth', 'sixth', and a taciturn 'fifth'.

Calling each other like this is not only because of the feelings cultivated by years of fighting, but also because they have no name, and the only third child with a name has gone home.

By the time they joined the army, they had already forgotten their names, and unless they died in battle, the master of the army would remember them for you and engrave them on your tombstone.

Tang is the surname of the country, here, they only have code names, Tang I, Tang II, all the way to Tang Liu, which is regarded as a small team, and it is distinguished from other squads by the Heavenly Stems Branch.

Except for scout teams, such a detailed division will hardly appear in large-scale marches, or even add to the setup.

But in this army, it is justifiable, and there will be no idle and boring ministers to criticize the flashy.

This is the first person under the command of the Duanchao Wudian, the Hundred Battles Border Army under General Yu Wenyuan, the nameless horseman.

Since the founding of the Duan Dynasty 500 years ago, the nameless cavalry has been an army for 300 years, and has gone through more than a dozen major generals.

At the worst time, all the generals were shrouded in horse leather, and the main general was the first to die, and there were only sixteen people left in the whole army, but three hundred years ...... None of them were defeated.

This is the myth of the Duan Dynasty, and at the same time the nightmare of the Leaving Dynasty, at the same scale, no general in the entire Leaving Dynasty is willing to face this army.

"Where are they with their heads tied to their waists, they are simply charging without brains. An old general in his old age said.

Although the Nameless Cavalry is a cavalry army, it is always a border army, and there is never a time for rotation, the only time is the last time, Tang Er and Tang Si took the opportunity to send back the bones of Li Qinghe's father.

This is also because the imperial court suddenly ordered the nameless horse to go to Qingzhou, so it was unprecedented, and this was also the first time that this army set foot in Qingzhou, a place where birds don't and no one wants to rob.

"Here, there is no beef here, but there is some mutton, or go into the water, make do with it, it is better than not having a salty taste in the mouth. ”

A few people were chatting, Tang Yi's voice came, and he sat by the fire with two oil-paper bags.

By the light of the fire, looking at the bruises on Tang's face, Tang Si threw out the dead branch in his hand, and said scoldingly: "Fuck it, big brother, did you fight?"

"Nonsense, Sand City is so big, you think there are as many sheep here as sand?"

"Dog, Lao Tzu picked him with one shot, which team?"

"Fourth, sit down!"

"Second brother!"

"Sit down!"

Under Tang Er's reprimand, Tang Si reluctantly sat down and took a hard sip.

Tang Er shook his head helplessly, added a fire, and Tang Yi hurriedly made a round.

"Okay, let's eat it while it's hot, it should smell bad in a while. ”

......

In the tent at the front of the army, a general looked at the map, frowning and pondering.

This military order of the imperial court is not clear, and it only says that the nameless cavalry should be divided into a quarter to rush to the Qingzhou Plateau to station, isn't this nonsense?

How did the cavalry fight on the plateau? Even if the nameless horsemen used Wanzhou war horses, they would not be able to withstand such a toss.

But the commander of the Wudian only gave him one sentence: just do it.

General Yu Wenyuan didn't say a word, and disappeared after giving the military order.

"Alas......"

At night, the sound of crawling in the middle of the tent was heard far and wide, and the soldiers in the tent turned over, and it was not surprising that the desert was full of lizards and insects.

In the makeshift stable, a dark figure suddenly appeared, covering his face as if looking for something.

After a while, the black shadow stopped, looked at the majestic Wanzhou war horse in front of him, laughed coldly, and poured the paper powder in his arms into the manger.

"The straight lady thief of the dog day, you can't find out when Lao Tzu is a scout, smack!"

The black shadow spat hard and slowly left the stable.

Not far away, Tang Er shook his head and sighed, the fourth child is not good at this, he was born as a scout, he is divided into life and death when he meets, he is giggling on the surface, but all of them are ruthless seedlings.

There is also the sixth child, who is giggling on the surface, but he is actually really giggling in his heart.

The fifth child is taciturn, and the eldest brother is a real big brother, honest and loyal, and the third ......

Patting the sand on his body, Tang Er walked back to the camp tent.

The next day, the nameless riders set out again, and one day they could get out of the desert and into the desert, where they could find a spring to replenish their water.

With Tang Si's eyes swaying as the horse's body swayed, his eyes kept glancing, and the grinning boss under the mask thought in his heart: "Boy, you grabbed food from the master, when the master was deep into the chaobaili, you were still wearing open crotch pants." ”

Thinking about this, there was a sudden commotion in the team, and a war horse lost control unguardedly and rushed out of the team, and there were bursts of noise behind the buttocks.

"This thing can only frighten the horse's fart, but you did let it go a lot at the time, and if you shake your hands again, something happened to the war horse in this damn place, and you can't escape the investigation of the patrol. ”

There was a slight coldness in Tang Er's voice, which surprised Tang Si.

"According to the military order, what is the crime of mutilating the war horse?"

"Rectify the Fa on the spot! to show military prestige!" Tang Si lowered his head, cold sweat flowing down his forehead.

"Fourth, I hope that we can die together under the saber of the Lichao Dynasty, rather than under our own military orders. ”

"I was wrong, second brother. ”

Nodding, Tang Er rode his horse to keep up with the team in front, a gust of wind blew, bringing up bursts of yellow sand, Wanzhou war horses cried, and the two of them stopped steadily on a high slope, and further on, the yellow sand had disappeared, but the wind was strong.

"Fourth, what is the boundary ahead? ”

"There are not many people living in the three counties north of Qingzhou, and many places have no names at all. ”

"In the nameless place, a group of nameless riders came, but it is suitable, drive!"

Tang Er and Tang Si clamped the horse's ribs fiercely and rushed into the gale.
