Hot air balloons are indeed a good thing, and after going to the sky, the field of vision is wide, and at a glance, you can even see the territory of the Mongols.

There is a good saying, although you can see the dead horse running in Wangshan, but there are not a few days, don't want to run to the end of the horizon.

"Report! As far as I will observe from the air, the army of Na Anke Timur was mobilized on the westernmost front, and had no intention of advancing eastward. A few hours later, the soldiers who had gone to reconnoiter came back to report, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

If Ancore Timur had no dissent, they would have been able to move forward with peace of mind.

"Okay, pass the order, make food on the third watch, set off on the fifth watch, and march the whole army to Hami." Zhang Yu ordered.

So everyone began to go back to rest, and they were about to fight a tough battle, so they naturally had to rest and rest.

The moon in Jiayuguan was far away, Hu Ye couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he came out to look at the moon, he always felt that this time would not be so smooth, it can be said that this was his real first war.

He did not participate in the Battle of Jingyan, and as for the last Wa State, his army did not participate in the war at all, and it was all the Wa State fighting its own people with its own people.

"Young master, you better go back and sleep, the next few days of rapid marching will be a few days, but there is no such a good chance to sleep." Old Qian came to Hu Ye's side and muttered.

"You go to sleep, I can't sleep, I want to see what the moon is different in this desert." Hu Ye replied.

He had never been to this big Gobi in his previous life, and even if there was no pollution now, the moon he saw in Nanjing was still very different from the moon he saw in Jiayuguan.

"The young lady told me before leaving, I must always be by the young master's side, if the young master doesn't sleep, I won't sleep." Old Qian said firmly.

Then Hu Ye turned around and looked, and the five generals brought from the house were all standing behind Lao Qian, obviously. If they don't sleep, they won't sleep either.

"I command you to go to sleep." Hu Ye said loudly.

"Young master, don't embarrass us." Lao Qian said with an embarrassed face, the next road from Jiayuguan to Hami, the road is much more difficult than before, and if you want to sleep well, it is a luxury.

If you don't sleep tonight, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep enough in the future.

"Do you listen to me, or do you listen to my wife?" Hu Ye said viciously.

"Young Master, we are the general's people. The general ordered us to protect you, and we must not make any mistakes. One of the generals said loudly, they were from Zhang Fu from Hu Ye, and they were not as familiar with Lao Qian as they were.

Hearing them say this, I knew that they still had Zhang Fu's instructions, so I didn't embarrass them, came to them, and whispered, "I'll ask you from my eldest brother." So from that moment on, you are no longer his person, and if you don't understand this, you don't have to follow me. It's okay to go back to my big brother. If you make up your mind to follow me, go to sleep for me now, and at night, Xiaoqiang will be more effective than the five of you. ”

The eyes of several people flickered. Indeed, when they came over from Zhang Fu, they were still a little dissatisfied with Hu Ye. Because in Zhang Fu's place, they at least have training, but when they get to Hu Ye, they only have protectors.

Xiao Qiang stood up and glanced at the five generals with disdain, during the day, maybe five people together, it is not an opponent, but at night, it is fully capable of breaking them all, and it can also ensure that it will not be injured at all.

Lao Qian knew that Hu Ye was a little angry, so he glanced at those people, and they withdrew.

"Young Master, they have been with Young Master Fu for too long, so don't be angry with them."

Lao Qian knew what Hu Ye was angry about, when he first met Hu Ye, he also didn't accept Zhang Fu's orders, but then he slowly changed it, no one wants the people around him to accept other people's orders, right?

"Okay, I also know that the eldest brother has good intentions." Hu Ye didn't plan to be angry, after all, Zhang Fu had good intentions.

"Xiaoqiang, let's go back to sleep."

Hu Ye beckoned to Xiao Qiang, and Xiao Qiang followed with his tail wagging.

Lao Qian was holding his horizontal knife, lying in front of Hu Ye's room.

Early the next morning, Jiayuguan was lively, and the movement of 150,000 people was naturally not small.

"Zhou Tong, you still guard Jiayu Pass, and when the next 200,000 people arrive, you will follow them to drive together."

Zhang Yu told Zhou Tong, after all, Jiayuguan was the northwest gateway of the Ming Dynasty, even if they went out to Jiayuguan, someone had to take care of them.

"General, don't worry, I will definitely guard Jiayu Pass."

Zhou Tong said very firmly, in fact, he didn't want to follow Zhang Yu to fight, how good it was to guard his lair.

"That's it! Let's go! ”

Zhang Yu roared, and a full 150,000 people rushed out of Jiayuguan. It took two hours for the long dragon formation to completely start from Jiayuguan. Hot air balloons in the sky are also flying, and look at the team below, which is miles long.

And until the departure of Jiayuguan, the real test has just begun.

The team has grown, and the speed of the march has also slowed down, and it was supposed to be able to march dozens of miles a day, but now it is half slower, and the maximum number of marches is forty miles a day, which is still not a special situation.

If you encounter a sandstorm, let alone march, it would be nice to be able to guarantee that you will not lose manpower.

However, Hu Ye's luck is not bad, it is winter now, and sandstorms are very rare, and even if they do, they are very small and can't even be swept away.

Although there is no sandstorm, but the huge temperature difference between day and night, but the army is very troubled, the day can be twenty or thirty degrees, but at night, it will drop to below zero, and many times if you don't put your heart on the iron armor, you can't take it off, and you have to ask for warm water.

Originally, Zhang Yu planned to rush to Hami in two days, but he didn't expect that it would take two days and two nights to rush to Guazhou, and the whole process was not yet halfway through.

"General, we must speed up the process, otherwise we won't be able to delay time."

Qiu Fu came to Zhang Yu's military camp and said with some concern.

It's winter now, and Hari Sultan's men are afraid that they are already ready to move, and once they start to act, and their 150,000 people have not yet arrived in Hamiwei, things will be a little difficult to do.

"You think I don't want to go faster?"

Zhang Yu said with some displeasure, of course he also wanted to arrive in Hami earlier, so that he could join up with Anke Timur's army, and then when Hari Sultan's men and horses had not yet arrived, he would set up an ambush first, and then wait for Hari Sultan to jump into the trap he had dug.

But they all made mistakes before, and when they marched to Pingliang, they delayed too much time, so that now they are already behind the progress in Guazhou.

Now the biggest enemy is the weather, this is not like the Central Plains, there is wind and sand at every turn, although there is no sandstorm, but it blows on the face, there is no need to be any worse.

"But there's no way to go on like this."

Qiu Fu was a little worried, and now in this weather, it is impossible to activate the hot air balloon at all. Once you encounter windy weather, you don't know where the hot air balloon is blowing.

But just as they were worried, an even greater catastrophe struck.

It is normal to snow in winter, but it is not a normal time to snow in the desert, which can only mean that the temperature here has dropped a lot, and many soldiers who set off from Nanjing did not expect such extreme weather at all.

So on the first day of snow, someone fell ill with frost. And this is just the beginning, because the snow does not turn cold, and once the snow starts to melt, the weather is the coldest time.

So the most important thing now is to get out of this snowfield, otherwise when the snow melts, the five thousand Shenji battalion from Nanjing will freeze to death, and it will be troublesome, which is the most powerful in this army.

So he didn't care about the cold weather, and the army marched in the middle of the night and advanced towards Hamiwei.

The 150,000 people sent from Gansu and Shaanxi were very adaptable to the weather and there was no emergency. However, this sudden heavy snowfall also caught them off guard.

When it was dawn, they realized that they had not yet stepped out of the snowfield, but that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was already two fingers of snow under their feet.

It used to be an endless Gobi, but now it has become an endless snowfield.

At this time, it is natural that you can't stop to rest, you must find a place to rest, and between Guazhou and Hami, there is simply no place that can accommodate 150,000 people to rest.

"Go all the way! Those who retreat will not be forgiven! ”

Zhang Yu gave a death order, and at this time he must show his iron and bloody wrists, isn't it just a rapid march for two days and two nights! Even if it's snow! And don't try to stop them from moving forward.

So 150,000 people began to advance in the heavy snow, and along the way, people kept falling behind.

If someone sees it, they take it back for treatment, and if no one sees it, there are only bones buried here forever.

"Young master, quickly put this on."

Lao Qian took out the bearskin coat and put it on Hu Ye, which Yingxue gave to Lao Qian when he set off, and asked him to hand it over to Hu Ye.

Hu Ye didn't wear a bearskin coat, not because he wasn't cold, but because the five thousand Shenji battalions who were with him were all wearing thin clothes, if he was wrapped in a bearskin coat, what was the matter?

"Young Master! You're a general, and if something happens to you, who's going to command them? Lao Qian shouted loudly, and when he was leaving, Ying Xueqian told him to take good care of Hu Ye, if Hu Ye was frozen, how should he explain when he went back?

"I'm a soldier first, then a general, and I'm not the commander of this expedition, Zhang Yucai, you give him this thing now! If something happens to him, he will really be leaderless. Hu Ye replied with a shudder. (To be continued......)
