Section 3 Aries Plain

The people of the Flying Eagle Clan come and go quickly, the purpose of their arrival is to kill the city lord, rob some food and go back, there is no purpose, maybe the city lord said bad things about the Flying Eagle Clan, or the city lord inadvertently knew a secret that should not be known, perhaps, nothing, just a fat sheep that people passed by and slaughtered.

Qu Zhuo took his own grain with a smile and gave it to these robbers, and the robbers were in a good mood, the mutton could not be stored for a long time, and the remaining sheep was left to Qu Zhuo, and finally he kindly gave him his green salt.

This is the relationship between robbers and the people, interdependent, robbing each other, and killing each other, here you can't tell who is the robber and who is the people, Qu Zhuo generally calls people with weapons robbers.

Thinking of the information he had sent, Qu Zhuo was very happy, since Mr. already knew that someone was going to ambush him, he would naturally not let these robbers succeed, Tuyuhun, Xue Yantuo, and Zhaowu Jiu all knew what kind of elite troops of the Tang Dynasty were, only the Tubo people didn't know, they thought that as long as they concentrated 5,000 people, they would be invincible.

The brave Tibetans never asked how many enemies there were, they only asked where they were, and the coward would be ridiculed by them for tying a fox's tail around his neck and mocking him for being as cowardly as a fox.

Qu Zhuo suddenly remembered what Mr. Academy said, because of barbarism, it is strong.

I took out some cakes from the mezzanine on the wall, which was left for the children, and when I saw that the lamb left in the pot was already fully cooked, I scooped it out, put it in a clay pot, closed the door, and sent the food to the cocoon girl and the children, and during this time, the heroes and heroes were about to start fighting again. Preparing to decide the new city lord, at this time, it is safer for Cocoon Niang and the children to stay in the cave.

Cheng Chumo sat on the stone resting with the horse lance in his hand, his head and face, and his armor were full of blood stains, and the robbers who came to Loulan had been killed by him and his soldiers.

The secretary of the march is counting the results of the battle. Those tough veterans are mending the corpses of robbers, and some of them have special hobbies and even have to chop off their heads before they get close to the corpses, and they can't be too careful on the battlefield.

Hei Feng led his people to dig a big pit near the Sun Tomb, the battle just now frightened them, and the robbers all over the mountains rushed to the empty Loulan, they didn't come to kill people, they came to destroy the city, Hei Feng knew what the people from the Western Regions who were about to leave were planning. Isn't it just that you want to turn the land of the Western Regions into scorched earth?

Didn't he take his people to hide on the rocky beach just to prevent these robbers from killing them? He stood on the hillside and witnessed the battle just now, and none of the Tang soldiers who wore the clothes of the Loulan people on the outside of their armor turned and fled in the face of the roaring enemy, although their numbers were much smaller.

In fact, it was not the robbers who were attacking, but the Tang people were attacking, and the big men in the front row were holding a huge long knife in both hands. With three steps and a swing of the sword, it was a robber or a horse in front of them. In that moment, they all shattered, and the bandits' feathered arrows clanged into their bodies, and finally fell weakly.

These strong soldiers only advanced a little more than a hundred steps before stopping, and then the terrifying general, with his cavalry, began to charge, and for the first time, Black Wind knew that the side with fewer people could surround the side with more people.

War horses are roaring and neighing. People were also roaring and neighing, the tall war horses crashed into each other and fell to the ground, and the robbers who were wearing the horse lance were slapping the pole of the horse lance desperately, the Tang sergeant let go of the horse lance, pulled out the horizontal knife from his back and continued to urge the horse to slash. Some of their arms were lost, some of their ears were flying, and some of them were scurrying around the battlefield with half of their bodies on their horses.

Black Wind watched as the black-armored general split the head of one of the most ferocious horse thieves in the middle with a horizontal knife in his hand, and then took out the flail from his horse bag and knocked the shoulder of the other horse thief, and when the flail was pulled back, there was still a trace of flesh hanging on it, and the hammer of the flail had a barb.

The soldier is brave, the general is brave, there is nothing to say, but the young man next to him and the long-bearded civil official sat on the hillside drinking tea and watched the battle situation, they didn't seem to be afraid at all, and they were still whispering that the soldier's skills were better, and finally it was boring to see that the Han chess pieces were placed on the hillside and started to play chess.

The robbers always tried to get out of this seemingly incomprehensible encirclement, but no matter how much they struggled, they were like a flock of sparrows locked in a sieve, and they could only stir their wings in vain.

The number of robbers is getting smaller and smaller, and some of them kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, and those soldiers of the Tang State cut off their heads without hesitation, and Hei Feng then understood that the soldiers of the Tang State did not intend to take a prisoner.

Hei Feng hesitated to go over to help, Di Renjie put away the chess pieces and said to him: "Wait a minute, after the soldiers finish mending their swords, you go and clean up, we will come to fight, and you will do the rest." ”

Xu Jingzong looked at the messy battlefield with his hands behind his back, pointed to the two tall horses and said to Di Renjie: "Those two big horses seem to have sweat and blood, and they will be brought over by me in a while. ”

Di Renjie smiled and nodded, Xu Jingzong is the supreme official here, this is the right thing to do, after speaking, the two of them walked down the hillside, and the orchid behind him was carrying a chessboard, like a celebrity who had just finished an outing.

The battlefield is not unfamiliar to Xu Jingzong, he followed Li Er's expedition to the east and west in his early years, although he was only a civilian, the bloodshed of the battlefield had long been irritating to him, walking between the corpses in plain and vertical places, and when he saw the armored ones, he had to turn over and look at his face, if it was a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he would tell the Loulan people to carry it away carefully, and if it was a robber, he would continue to move forward.

The wounded soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were carried away, and the battlefield was suddenly silent, and after the warm spring breeze blew up the sand and dust from a distance to cover the battlefield, the bloody gas was finally a little less, but the color changed, and everything was gray, Di Renjie watched the sand and dust blow into the eyes of the dead corpse, and the eyes like dead fish became more turbid.

The Loulan people cleaned up the battlefield very quickly, they stripped off the armor of the robbers, collected the scattered knives and guns, killed the unrecoverable war horses, they did not even let go of the clothes on the corpses, and finally threw the naked corpses into the big pit, buried in the sand, and it was over.

"All of them retreated to Chaos Stone City, this time it was the bandits from the Western Regions, if it was the Tubo bandits, we would definitely suffer heavy losses, and those robbers would still be handed over to Yunhou to deal with, and what he commanded was the army that fought."

Xu Jingzong patted Cheng Chumo on the shoulder, this order was not issued to others, but specifically to Cheng Chumo, Cheng Chumo did not refute, but just looked at the bloodstained battlefield with some reluctance.

The greatest wind and sand in the desert is not winter, but spring when the weather warms up, under the gray sky, a group of black-armored cavalry looms out of the yellow sand, the knights on the horses are all wearing veils, half-squinting eyes galloping in the wind and sand, the horses' hooves step on the fragile sandstone, the sandstone is broken, faintly sparks come out.

This is the terrible White Sheep Plain, the sea of death in the mouth of the herdsmen, and their songs are full of fear of this land: I drove my horses to find meadows, and I have visited you when I came here to stay on horses. The vast Gobi is like an endless sea of fire. I quickly turned my face away and walked away. Ah, Aries Plain, I don't want to walk into you, you have no grass or water, you don't even fly birds, ah, Aries Plain, I don't want to walk into you. “

The reason why Yun Ye wants to cross the Aries Plain is only one reason, he doesn't want to go to the quicksand area, and the army of the quicksand area is already sleepy and lacking people, and it is really unwise to regret the Tibetan horse thieves under such conditions, the Aries Plains is a sea of devils in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, just because there will always be mirages here, the mirages on the Gobi Desert are different from those in the desert, they are floating in the air at a height of two meters, there are often two suns in the sky, and the position will constantly change, and the real sun looks vague under the shadow of water vapor, And the fake sun, on the contrary, will hang red in the sky, those caravans who rely on the sun to guide the way are often confused, and the price to pay for taking the wrong path in the vast Gobi Desert is life.

There was no reference to choose from, and there were exactly the same sand dunes in the distance, all the same in the south, east, west, and north, and it was originally a large lake, and the lake was gone, leaving an extremely flat bottom.

The wind stopped, it stopped very suddenly, without the slightest warning, seeing the sand that was blown into the sky falling from the sky, Yuan Shoucheng stretched out his hand, seeing the sand thinly covered with his palm, and asked Yun Ye beside him: "Why is the wind here so strange?" Just stop. ”

Yun Ye took off his veil, spit out the sand in his mouth, and replied: "I hope there is wind, only the wind is the most accurate direction guide, the sun is unreliable, maybe the compass is unreliable." ”

Yuan Shoucheng smiled and said: "As long as the old man has the compass in his hand, he will never worry about getting lost." ”

"Don't talk big, I heard that there is a magnetic mountain in this ghost place, when the time comes, I will see how you can tell the direction, now I have to rush to the front, I am very worried that Lai Chuanfeng will take the wrong way, the guide is about to collapse, and I can't count on me to go in person." Yun Ye shook the reins of the horse, and Wangcai immediately rushed forward, and after a while, he caught up with Lai Chuanfeng, who led the way.

The three hundred miles radius of the white sheep was also a great test for Yun Ye, he was the only one who dared to lead the army to pass through here, Su Dingfang entered the North Garden, honestly went out of the Yumen Pass, passed the Devil's City, and groped along the trade road, this is how he also experienced the loss of soldiers and generals, and the low morale once needed to be improved by robbery and killing.

When the dust fell, the sun shone on the earth, and in a short time, the whole Aries was as hot as a furnace. (To be continued......)
