Chapter 549 - There is nothing to be done
Niu Gao was also puzzled, he never thought that in this vast expanse of land, why could he encounter deserts everywhere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Behind the city of Rob is the endless Tarim Desert, and his men are all war horses, not a single camel. No matter how arrogant he is, General Niu doesn't dare to ride a war horse across the desert. Therefore, after a few days in Luobu City, the clever General Niu led his men and horses along the foot of Kunlun Mountain to bypass the great desert, all the way to the west, along the way to the end of the two fortresses of Yanmo City and Woerdun, and when he arrived at the foot of the Green Ridge, he did not leave.
Not because of any resistance, but because many people in his army developed altitude sickness. The place where he was located was the famous Pamir Plateau, where the air was thin, the air pressure was low, and the winds were constant, and it was impossible to go all the way.
Niu Gao decided to stay in place for repairs.
Altitude sickness also plagued the original eight-color battalion. It's just that they have all experienced devilish training, and occasionally have symptoms of dizziness and nausea, which are not very obvious. Even so, Wan Linggen still stopped the army from advancing, and instructed the soldiers to breathe through their mouths as much as possible and do some low-intensity exercises to alleviate the discomfort caused by the reaction symptoms.
As if he knew that they would have such an adverse reaction, the day after they set up camp, the 50,000-strong army that had left Congyi arrived.
In fact, as far as the current level of altitude sickness is concerned, it has no effect on the combat strength of the eight-color battalion at all, and Hong Aya and the others have no uncomfortable reaction at all, and the appearance they show is mainly to paralyze the enemy.
As soon as the coach sent by Yelu Dashi appeared, he was recognized by Lin Fengxian and Fan Ting'er, and the man also recognized the two of them, but he was not as elated as those two people, but was extremely embarrassed.
"Lu Hayang, why did you get to the plateau? Did you follow Jerodashi? Lin Fengxian asked with a smile.
Lu Hayang laughed twice and said, "The two handsome women can still meet here, and they will meet!" Xinghui! ”
Fan Ting'er waved her hand and said, "Lu Hayang, we have dealt with each other, so there is no need to say such useless polite words." Say it yourself, how do we do it! ”
Lu Hayang looked left and right and asked in a low voice, "You still have ...... in your hands That kind of thing? ”
Fan Ting'er and Lin Fengxian glanced at each other, pursed their lips and smiled, "Don't worry, it hasn't been arranged yet." ”
Lu Hayang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! I have a suggestion, let's not hurt the peace, it's better not to fight. ”
Lin Fengxian asked, "How can you not hurt your anger?" ”
Lu Hayang said, "I am above Yeludejiang now, and he is behind you, I won't stop you from explaining to him." So...... Let's just do superficial things and negotiate first! ”
Fan Ting'er said with a smile, "It's not impossible to negotiate, but you have to show some sincerity." ”
Lu Hayang said, "Of course, there is enough grain and grass in our army, and you come from afar and travel for a long time, and there must not be much grain and grass in the army, so ...... I'll give you 10,000 stone of grain first, but you'll have to get it yourself, or else...... I'm going to have to lose my head. ”
"Good! Deal! Fan Ting'er and Lin Fengxian returned to the formation to discuss with Hong Aya and the others, and then turned back and said to Lu Hayang.
As a result, a very "lively" offensive and defensive battle was launched under the condition that both sides had tacit understanding. Of course, the ending was as expected, Lu Hayang threw down 10,000 stones of grain and retreated, the eight-color battalion returned victorious, and the two sides entered the stage of confrontation.
Wan Linggen did not show up during the entire process. In fact, he really couldn't help in this situation.
He and Yang Zizi were thinking about something else.
In this vast Gobi, although there is a guide from the wolf gang, the goal is still not very clear. After all, the Wolf Gang is still just a gang, and it is not very clear about the specific situation between the various tribes.
The two of them carefully studied it several times, and both felt that rash marching would do more harm than good.
"Brother Yang, I think we should capture the thief and capture the king first, find Yelu Dashi, and destroy him first, we may not need to continue the in-depth march." Wan Linggen said.
Yang Zizi nodded and said, "The problem now is that we don't know where Yelu Dashi is. ”
Wan Linggen said, "Since Yelu Dejiang is his Grand Master, presumably the two of them should not be far apart. Now that Yeludejiang is behind us, and there is his 50,000 army blocking the way in front of us, it is better for us to simply turn back and kill Yeludejiang first! ”
Yang Zizi said, "This is not compensated, but I'm afraid that he will run." Since we entered the realm of the Western Liao, the most seen except the desert is the high mountains, if he drills into the mountains, we will not find him. ”
Wan Linggen smiled, "So, we still need a helper. ”
"Who?"
"Zhao Tianci!" Wan Linggen said confidently, "Wu Jie's men and horses are entrenched in the Hezhou area, we just need to let him cooperate with us and attack on both sides, and then Yelu Dejiang will have nowhere to escape even if he wants to run." ”
Yang Zizai said, "Of course it's the best, but who should be sent to deliver the letter to him?" ”
Wan Linggen said, "This errand is mine, and no one else can get out." ”
Yang Zizi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true, Brother Wan, although you are endowed with abilities, you still can't be too careless." ”
Wan Linggen said, "Brother Yang, rest assured!" ”
That night, Wan Linggen took advantage of the night to sneak out of Lu Hayang's encirclement and rushed towards Hezhou like flying.
Wu Jie's army has been repaired for more than a month, and he has long been accustomed to the plateau climate, but he still does not dare to march rashly, and has been waiting for Shangguan's order in Hezhou.
That night, he had just rested in the tent when he suddenly felt a strong wind blowing, and the black shadow flashed, and there was one more person beside the bed.
He was taken aback, and was about to get up and call someone, but the man waved his hand at him, pulled down the cloak on his head, revealing long golden and white hair, Wu Jie was stunned when he saw it, "...... Above...... Immortals?! ”
The black robe on Wan Linggen's body was windless, his eyes were blazing, his lips were slightly closed, and a powerful voice came into Wu Jie's ears, "General Wu, before tomorrow, you will take people to reach the Yemisi Mountain Pass, cut off the back road of the Yelude River, and the people and horses of the eight-color battalion will go back to intercept and kill, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the Yelude River will be completely annihilated!" ”
Wu Jie kept nodding yes. After Wan Linggen finished speaking, he didn't stop for a moment, and his figure disappeared into the tent in a flash, making Wu Jie, who was still in a state of confusion, think that he had a dream, but everything in front of him clearly told him that this was not a dream, it was all real!
Lei Xian personally descended and issued an order, where did he dare to slacken? Wu Jie immediately got up and convened the generals to discuss and prepare for the next day's action. (To be continued.) )
