Chapter 374: Victory in sight
Liu Yu's question could not be explained, because she didn't know why her countrymen and Loulan's army had not kept up with the pace of the Shun Dynasty's army. If you want to talk about this low-lying land of the mire, this is the place to go, unless they have taken a long detour. But that might go to the Yue Clan.
was questioned by Liu Yu, and her original resentment almost subsided. Liu Yu is right, this is not a matter of the Shun Dynasty's army not paying attention, no one is sad, including the Loulan people. She was alone in a hurry, and she didn't bring the soldiers, and it didn't work at all to urge her to come and go.
Why don't I care about it? Che suddenly came up with this thought, and suddenly felt a lot of pain in his heart, this time he was going to rescue his own countrymen. Although she doesn't believe in the gods, but those are the people of the gods, are the nobles of Loulan who believe in the gods willing to watch their people suffer a catastrophe?
The next day, the Shun people fulfilled their promise and set off. The speed of this march was still not fast, because it was necessary to pass through the swamp after heavy rain, and it was necessary to walk slowly and cautiously, and this reason was still understood.
"Do you need to find a rope to tie you? If your horse gets trapped, I'll pull you out. Liu Yuce asked with a smile not far from Chetu. This kind of words that seem to be concerned are simply teasing.
Chetu, who had only lost her face in front of this man once yesterday, felt as if she had no face to see, so she waved her horsewhip and tried to stay away from this man.
Sometimes people can't stand the chatter, and the good and bad spirits, a piece of mud that has been marked in front of them, Chetu didn't notice it, and accidentally trapped the horse. Because the mud puddle is huge. There is no big difference from the inlet next to it. This time it was just an ordinary sound, and even the people and horses went into the water.
"Pull people, quick!"
Liu Yu was not far from her, and after a drink, a bunch of people went up and dragged them, and finally pulled the people out, but the horse couldn't pull them out, and could only witness a string of bubbles coming out of the muddy water. The horses were gone. At this time, she was covered in muddy water, shivering from the cold, and suddenly felt a warmth on her back, Liu Yu smiled and draped the big coat on her.
"Come on, let's share a horse." Liu Yu said with a smile.
"No, I'm not the woman next to you." Chetu felt warm and thought of the woman who was left outside Loulan City by Liu Yu, "Let your soldiers, give me a horse." ”
Liu Yu shook his head and said: "The soldiers' horses are all loaded with goods, whoever gives you horses will starve, and maybe the tents and stoves will not be enough at night." I, as the commander, will not grant you such an impudent request. ”
"Then I'll walk." Cut the abrupt gambling airway.
"Forget it, give you a horse. We also have some spare horses, Miss Chetu, and the next time you want to hurry, you must watch the road ahead, this is the way our soldiers have ventured out in front of us, and you don't know how to cherish it. ”
As he spoke, there seemed to be some chaos ahead, and a soldier who was exploring the way fell into a mud puddle and never came out. The soldiers passed by the place where the red flag was planted, and everyone had to dismount and take off their helmets to salute, even Liu Yu was no exception. Chetu saw the quagmire at a glance, and felt regretful and fortunate at the same time, if the rescue was not timely just now, she would also become a pile of dry bones in the quagmire.
It took more than two hours to finally get out of the low-lying land, the road surface began to harden, and there were more trees. Chetu seemed to sense the difference between having trees and not having trees, and she thought that she must report this to the queen when she went back, and it was probably because of the indiscriminate felling of the Loulan people that more and more deserts and mire meadows in the country were increasing.
"Hurry up, we'll be there before dusk!"
Liu Yu gave the order, but the destination he said was an abstract concept, at least Che Tu didn't know where the destination was. But that didn't matter, for Chetu, she just hoped that when these people arrived at the front, they would have time to clean up the mess. It wasn't that she was going to be defeated as soon as she entered the battlefield, and she could also sense that the cavalry team of the Shun Dynasty was not too big.
In the morning, I was not fast, but in the afternoon, I was in a hurry. But after all, it was the Chinese army marching, and it was required to be safe, and Liu Yu didn't want his body to suffer. It took more than a hundred miles in the afternoon to stop, and such a speed was too simple for a cavalry march. Finally, before sunset, the army marched to the first city in the south of Loulan, the dry city.
Before he could get close to the city, Liu Yu ordered a hurried march into the city. This point is quite puzzling, it stands to reason that now the dry city is either in the hands of the Tubo people, or it is still under the control of the Loulan people, of course, the former is more likely. The Shun Dynasty army passed in such a hurry, and they had no intention of preparing for war, so they wanted to enter the city so easily?
When he arrived at the bottom of the city, Chetu saw clearly that the "dragon flag" of the Shun Dynasty had been planted on the city wall, and there were only a few soldiers standing sporadically at the head of the city, as if waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. As for the people of Loulan, they didn't see any of them after they entered the city.
"What's going on?" Chetu didn't care about losing face and asked Liu Yu.
"The news is that you Loulan people ran clean when they encountered the Tubo people attacking the city. Just like how you reacted when you encountered our Shun Dynasty army. Afterward...... Hehe, our vanguard army arrived, so the Tibetans also gave up their resistance and ran away, and this city was temporarily guarded by our soldiers. ”
Chetu couldn't believe that what Liu Yu said was true. But after asking some Loulan people who returned to their homes in groups after the war, things seem to be as Liu Yu said.
"Hey, Miss Chetu, you have a beacon tower in the city, can you please explain the method, let your Loulan's follow-up troops come over quickly, we don't plan to stay in the city, let's go, it's none of our business if the city is occupied."
It was clear what color of smoke on the beacon meant something, but she wouldn't light it. Now Loulan's own people are deserters, counting on the Shun Dynasty to defend the city? It's a bit of a joke.
"You don't care, we don't care!" Chetu said as if angry.
"Alright then, let's move on!"
Liu Yu smiled and crossed the city without entering, and embarked on the journey to the south. said that it was a journey, but in fact, it seemed that the battle had been decided, and Liu Yu only needed to take the soldiers to walk around and inspect all the lost cities.
The loss is lost by the Loulan people, but the gain is gained by the Shun Dynasty people. In just two days, these cities have changed hands several times, and the battles are like child's play. Walked a few earthen cities, and none of them were not under the control of the Shun Dynasty.
"What about Loulan's soldiers?" This was Chetu's primary concern along the way.
"It's coming!" The man, who seemed to be indifferent all the way, finally became a little nervous, "Further down is the main battlefield, we have to be careful." But victory is in sight, so we'll just have to wait! ”
Chetu had not yet felt the coming of the big war, and the man was already preaching that "victory was in sight". In the end, are there any Tibetan invaders in Loulan Kingdom? (To be continued......)
