Chapter 1440 Attack on the Camp

The Qilin Blood Army led by the Vulture is camped in the westernmost part of the Blackwater Lake. Burn? Wen?? ??? ． ｒ?ａ?ｎ?? ｅ?ｎ`ｏｒｇ

I had come from the east, so I didn't find them.

The scouts sent by Temujin have been completely lost, and even the Qilin Blood Army under my command has lost a lot, killing and wounding several people.

"When we marched here, we found that the daylight was too short, and at night, it was so dark that we could not see anything clearly, so we had to set up camp. ”

The vulture briefly told me what they had happened before: "But when we camped here until the next night, we encountered a night attack, and we couldn't see anything in the night, and I don't know how many night ghost warriors rushed to camp, and finally found that the situation was not good, so we had to retreat. ”

"Oh?" I thought it was a little strange: "Whether it is the Qilin Blood Army or the Temujin steppe cavalry scouts, they are all battle-hardened warriors, and they should have something to deal with attacking the camp at night." It's not that miserable, is it?"

The vulture smiled bitterly: "It's prepared, but it's useless." I don't know what's going on in this place, the lamp we brought on the march is not easy to burn, and every time it is lit, it takes the initiative to extinguish.

Moreover, the soldiers all had an extremely strong reaction, not only headache, but also difficulty breathing, and the whole body was sore. ”

Lamps are hard to burn?

Breathless, sore, weak?

When I think about it, isn't this what the legendary altitude sickness looks like?

But this Great Yuan Kingdom, even if it was a plateau climate, even if this Heishui Lake was a little closer to the north, it would not make these soldiers react so strongly.

The most fundamental reason for altitude sickness is actually because the oxygen in the air is thin, which leads to a lack of oxygen in the brain.

It seems that the passage of polar ice not only leads to the change of day and night time, but also affects the composition of the air.

"Judging from the situation of the battle, the people of the Night Ghost Clan can see at night, and with this alone, they are invincible. So, I was already planning to withdraw my troops. ”

The vulture said: "After all, we were attacked last night, and I feel that those people of the Night Ghost Clan will secretly attack us tonight, and then, just when we were about to withdraw from the army, we met your fire horse." ”

I see.

I looked up at the sky and thought it would be more than half an hour before I was truly in the polar night.

"If the people of the Night Ghost Clan really attack the camp, then I just want to see what kind of existence they are. I said.

"Are you going to go to war with them?" the vulture shook his head: "Now, the people of the Night Ghost Clan have not threatened the safety of the Great Ming Kingdom, and we do not occupy the right time and place, if we rashly start a war with them, I am afraid that we will lose our troops." ”

"That's something you can't help but do. I sighed: what the Vulture said is right, if I rashly start a war with the people of the Night Ghost Clan, according to the previous situation, I am afraid that my Qilin Blood Army will not be able to defeat them.

And it is very likely that all my 5,000 Qilin blood army will be lost in this place.

The Qilin Blood Army is different from ordinary soldiers, even if I have the Qilin Blood and the Inheritance Jade Seal now, but without the Twin Blood Mandala, it is impossible to refine the Qilin Blood Army again.

In other words, for every one lost, there is one less.

But if you don't go to war with the Night Ghost Clan, you won't be able to save those Mocha gnomes.

As we spoke, we were already in the tent.

The camp was made of cowhide tents, which were firm and tight, and with the experience of being attacked yesterday, I saw a few scouts patrolling from a distance today.

"Let's withdraw first. I said.

Dealing with these people of the Night Ghost Clan, for a while, I can't be in a hurry.

After the soldiers had uprooted their tents, we marched quickly, left the Blackwater Lake, and then left the Kobdo River overnight, and re-encamped thirty miles from the Kobdo River.

This time, he was not attacked by the Night Ghost Clan.

It is strange to say that between these two places, there are only a few dozen miles apart, and it is already pitch black on one side, but there is still a sunset hanging on the other.

I asked one of the guards, prepared paper and pen, wrote a handwritten letter, and handed it to him: "You bring two more people, take this letter, go to Jiang Yi, and ask him to lead the army here and join me." ”

"Yes!"

The guard immediately took the order and left.

"Are you really going to war with the Night Ghost Clan?" the vulture felt a little strange when he heard my order, "You don't want to think about it anymore?"

"Definitely. I nodded: "If there is no other reason, my best choice at the moment is to lead the army out of the grassland and return to the Central Plains." ”

"Then you ......," the vulture understood me, "what is the reason why you have to stay here?" ”

"Have you ever heard of machines?" I asked her.

The vulture shook his head, "No." ”

I immediately told her about the discovery of the Mocha dwarfs under the black water lake: "If you can rescue those Mocha dwarfs, it is very likely that the national strength of the Ming Kingdom will have a qualitative leap." ”

"Those gnomes, are they really that powerful?" the vulture was a little incredulous.

"You should trust me on this issue. ”

"Okay. ”

......

When the guards arrived, Jiang repeatedly led the army to come, and it took at least seven days to come and go.

And we, naturally, can't wait here for seven days.

I decided to meet the old Mocha patriarch again and ask him if there was anything he could do to dispel the cold and polar night.

Even if it doesn't work, at least there has to be a way to light the lamp.

Otherwise, even if the army arrived, there would be no way to fight the people of the Night Ghost Clan.

"Go, I'll go with you. The vulture said.

"Good. ”

This time, I didn't ride a horse, I just took the Sky Shaking Bow and two golden arrows, and I went with the vulture.

On the other side of the Kobdo River, it was already pitch black, like thick ink.

On the sky on this side of the river, you can see the outline of the stars and the moon, but the sky on the other side of the river has completely changed.

Under this kind of weather, we can't let go of the speed to run, and can only carefully move forward.

Not long after we walked along, the vulture pulled me and said to me, "Be careful!

Oh?

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a row of dark red eyes not far ahead, and at a cursory glance, it was estimated that there were about twenty people.

Judging from the position of the double pupils, it should be a row of soldiers of the Night Ghost Clan, slowly moving forward.

"That's how they came to attack us last night. The vulture continued to whisper to me, "Let's hide for a while. ”

I immediately hid behind a piece of ice with the vulture, and then I took off the Sky Shaking Bow, mounted the golden arrow, aimed at the last person from a distance, and let go, and shot an arrow.
