Chapter 10 Rushing to the Northern Frontier
"Damn, how big is this Star Continent!" Gu Xiao rode on his horse and thought indignantly.
This was the first time he had really tried the size of the Star Continent.
Originally, although he knew that the Star Continent was very large, much larger than the entire earth, he had never had a very clear concept.
It wasn't until now, when he personally tried the size of the Yin Kingdom, that he understood how big the Star Continent really was.
In his impression, although the Yin Kingdom called itself Great Yin, in fact, it was purely his own gold on his face, and it was just a small country on the Star Continent.
However, it is such a small country on the Star Continent, where there are not 10,000 but 8,000, but he has been walking for a whole month.
Ever since he set out from Yindu a month ago, he had been moving with the army towards the northern frontier of Yin. It's just that even though everyone in the army is equipped with mounts, they have not been able to reach the northern frontier within a month, and the journey is only about half of the way to now.
In other words, he now has to travel for at least another month to reach northern Xinjiang.
Just this two-month journey on horseback made him subvert the original concept that Yin Guo was not a big deal.
If you count it again, no one can count how many countries of this size and size are in the entire Star Continent, then the size of the Star Continent is simply beyond his imagination.
Gu Xiao felt that his head was starting to hurt just thinking about this size!
According to this size, Gu Xiao was simply wondering how those big countries could deliver news if there were no special channels.
In the midst of Gu Xiao's headache, the army continued to move towards the northern frontier.
Along the way, because there is no need to carry food, grass and some siege equipment. In fact, the journey was faster than Gu Xiao imagined.
After constantly replenishing food, grass and supplies from the towns they passed along the way, on the fiftieth day after leaving Yindu, they finally came to the Gobi Desert in northern Xinjiang.
In front of the Gobi Desert, where the yellow sand is long and the loess is flying, they temporarily stopped.
Gu Xiao followed Zhou Long, the commander of the army, and was watching this rare scene of the Gobi Desert.
In the previous life, although the environmental damage of the Celestial Empire was very serious because of the thought destruction, the Gobi Desert is generally located in the northwest inland region, and for a poor student who lives in Chang'an but has almost no money to go to Huashan, it is really a difficult dream to see the Gobi Desert.
Therefore, this is the first time Gu Xiao has seen the Gobi Desert.
Right in front of his eyes, the Gobi Desert was full of gravel and rubble, and gusts of yellow wind were blowing continuously.
Gu Xiao looked at the Gobi Desert in front of him, and his mouth couldn't open at all, because if you were not careful, you would probably eat a bite of sand.
"General, why haven't we gone in yet?" At Zhou Long's side, a member of the general opened his mouth to ask in the face of the fierce yellow wind.
Zhou Long glanced at the partial general and didn't say anything.
For this kind of stupid person who doesn't even have a little military common sense, he doesn't even have the interest in scolding.
"Captain Gu, what do you think?" Zhou Long looked at Gu Xiao, who had been performing very well during this period of time, and asked.
During this time, this son, who originally had his impression of coming to gild, really surprised him. Along the way, Gu Xiao's performance can be described as very good, although it is inevitable that he is a little rough in dealing with those thorny things, but in his eyes, he is extremely appreciative.
The men in the army should be like this, whoever is powerful can speak.
And along the way, in the process of setting up camp, Gu Xiao's performance was also very good.
Sometimes, he simply wonders whether the man in front of him is a boy who has just entered the battlefield, or a veteran who has fought all his life.
Therefore, he planned to listen to Gu Xiao's opinion.
Gu Xiao glanced at the Gobi Desert in front of him helplessly, and felt speechless about Zhou Long's examination.
The most important thing to do when entering such a place is, of course, to find a guide first, and then prepare enough food and water?
Do you need to ask?
Gu Xiao thought about it and answered very simply.
Zhou Long nodded with satisfaction.
This kid is really a buildable material, this is what he thinks now.
"This guy really thinks I'm a newcomer to the battlefield!" This is Gu Xiao's idea, when he was looking for the world of Qin Ji, after the age of twenty, he spent almost all his time on the battlefield. Therefore, he is still quite confident in his battlefield talents.
In his opinion, the strategy of the battlefield can be very simply described as Sun Tzu's thirty-six strategies.
Almost all soldiers know these 36 strategies, but how to make good use of these 36 strategies is very knowledgeable. If it is used well, it is a world-famous general, and if it is not used well, it is a smile and generosity.
Zhou Long naturally didn't know what Gu Xiao was thinking in his heart. At this time, he was rejoicing that Da Yin had another general.
"Come on, go and prepare food and water immediately, and then contact the city in the rear and ask them to send a few guides who have entered the Gobi Desert!" Ye Tianlong waved his hand and ordered directly.
"Whoa!" When the surrounding generals heard this, they immediately went down.
It's just that when these people went down, they almost all glanced at Gu Xiao with resentful eyes.
Gu Xiao felt the gaze of these people on him, and suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, where did he not understand what this kind of gaze meant? During this period of time, his performance has been so good that he has aroused the hostility of these people.
If it was a normal situation, he would naturally have to find a way to repair the relationship with these people immediately, but now in this situation, he no longer has this mind.
This is the first time he has been on the battlefield for the Yin Kingdom, and I believe it will be the last!
If that's the case, why do you even think about it?
Gu Xiao thought so, and he didn't take the hostility of these colleagues to heart at all.
"Quick! Fast! Come back with me! ”
"Let's go! Let's go back to the guide! ”
"Come with me, let's go find food and water!"
There was a rush of people in the army, and these generals began to call their subordinates and henchmen, wanting to get things done as soon as possible.
"What are you doing here?" A cold voice asked.
"Go find the guide and the food!" A grinning general said impatiently.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, because the sound was too cold, it was just like the cold and biting north wind in the cold winter wax moon, just listening to it like this, it made people feel that the bones in the body exuded a cold air through the bones.
"You don't have to go!" As the cold voice sounded again, all the generals reacted.
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, I saw a fluttering figure in white clothes appear at the end of their sight, stepping on the breeze, as if a fairy had descended into their sight.
"The last general, Zhou Long, pays a visit to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Zhou Long was the first to react, knelt down on one knee, and saluted loudly.
"Meet Her Highness the Princess!" The people around all knelt down and saluted.
All of a sudden, 10,000 troops knelt down, but only one did not.
Gu Xiao stared at the white-clothed figure in the distance, his eyes didn't turn for a moment, his fists were clenched, and he couldn't wait to beat this damn woman to death with one punch, and his whole body exuded an unforgettable hatred that made the people around him palpitate!
