314: Deep into Northern Xinjiang

The Dahao Dynasty had a vast territory, with 99 prefectures under its jurisdiction and a total of 129,600 counties. ┢╞╪┞╪╪.? 〔。 c

Therefore, since the founding of the People's Republic of China 60 years ago, Dahao has always attached great importance to the construction of Chidao. The galloping roads all over the country extend in all directions, living like a spider's web. All parts of the country are closely linked.

However, it is still not possible to rely solely on Chidao. You know, the Dahao Dynasty is too big. From the imperial capital of Luojing as the center, it must take three full years to reach the four-sided border of Dahao.

There are more convenient and faster ways to save time. That is to use the "Ten Thousand Miles Courtyard Idle Array". This is the result of a lifetime of painstaking research by a certain master surnamed Lu of Tianji Gate five hundred years ago. As long as you build a circle between the two places, you can freely teleport between the two circles. The people are greedy for smoothness, and they are directly called "teleportation arrays"

Half a year ago, Xiao Sheng used the teleportation array to go to the Eastern Wilderness to take office. But now, although the imperial court has decided to send troops to meet the invading army of the Menggu Kingdom. However, he couldn't use the teleportation array to directly teleport the army to the northern frontier.

The reason is very simple, because Suigui, the northern Xinjiang capital, has been broken by the Menggu army. The teleportation array inside, as a matter of course, fell into the hands of the Fierce Ancient Army. As long as they close the teleportation array, no matter how many million heroes Luo Jing has, he can only stare dryly, and he can't transport a single soldier.

Other prefectures and counties in northern Xinjiang, of course, also have teleportation arrays. But first, the scale of these teleportation arrays is relatively small, and they cannot teleport tens of thousands of troops. Second, these teleportation arrays are attached to the large teleportation array in Suigui. The large teleportation array is closed, and the small teleportation array below is also invalid.

So it can't be helped. The eldest prince and the ninth prince, even if they have 10,000 private soldiers in their own royal palace, can only teleport to Youzhou, the northernmost part of Zhonghuan, first. Then he honestly led his men and horses to the north day and night. (。 If the situation is ideal, then it will only take two months at most for them to reach Suigui.

The so-called saving people is like fighting fire. Every day of delay, more people of Dahao will be slaughtered and ravaged by the fierce ancient army. So Xiao Sheng can't wait for two more months no matter what.

Just as Xiao Sheng and the eldest prince said. Commander Band, also has the advantage of Commander Commander, that is, he has enough freedom of movement. The eldest prince and the ninth prince, with an army of 10,000 by their side, could not leave the soldiers behind and hurried alone. Xiao Sheng can come and go if he wants.

Because of this, after Xiao Sheng withdrew from the palace, he immediately summoned the Wind Attack Eagle and flew towards the northern frontier on this rare bird of different species. Sitting on the back of an eagle, the Fourteenth Prince took out a map of Northern Xinjiang, opened it and looked at it carefully.

This map is from the Yamen of the Ministry of War. Forty-eight counties in 12 counties in northern Xinjiang, all large and small droughts, 6 roads, mountains, forests, lakes, grasslands, and Gobi are all clearly recorded on it, and detailed notes are also attached.

Among them, Suigui and Jiuye, the two richest county capitals in northern Xinjiang, plus the attached county towns and villages below, have all been red crossed. This means that they have completely fallen. Millions of ordinary people are living in dire straits, suffering and being ravaged.

As for other places, the four counties of Helan Mountain, Da Qiu, Fangshuo, and Zhuyue belong to the garrison of the Panshi Great Wall of Che Cavalry General He Qianli, and they should be safe for the time being. The other six counties are definitely in chaos, and the people are panicked and precarious.

"Judging from the map, Yunzhong County is also very close to Suigui. In terms of wealth and population, it can be ranked fourth among the twelve counties in northern Xinjiang. If I were the commander of the Menggu army, my next move would definitely be to attack Yunzhong County.

Therefore, it is imperative that I immediately rush to the seat of the county government of Yunzhong County, preside over the overall situation, and stabilize people's hearts. Let's see if we can recruit young and strong villagers, first build up a little armed force and keep Yunzhong County. ”

Xiao Sheng looked at the map while secretly thinking: "On the other hand, I must also find out the relevant information of the army of the Menggu Kingdom as soon as possible. How many soldiers and horses did they come, who commanded them, and how many masters were among them? All of this must be ascertained.

If I had the chance, I would have killed a few of their important generals. A snake can't be without a head. Without a leader, no matter how elite the army is, it is just a rabble, and it is not a problem. ”

The idea was made, and Xiao Sheng did not hesitate. Reach out and slap the wind eagle, urging it to fly.

After flying for most of the night, I saw that dawn was approaching. Calculating the distance, it is almost time to reach Yunzhong County. Xiao Sheng wanted to find out the enemy's situation, so he let the Wind Striker land, put it back into the Jialuo bracelet, and took a big stride and galloped away.

Before dawn, the darkness is at its deepest. But when he cultivated to Xiao Sheng's current realm, he has long been able to "make a white room". The eyes can see that even if the serpentine ants are walking a few miles away, the wind and grass are moving, and any small movement can be seen in great detail.

Xiao Sheng's galloping degree is no less than that of a bird. Walking along the road, I passed through five or six county towns and more than 20 villages, large and small. It's a pity that these county towns and villages are now all set on fire by the invading Menggu army.

In the fire, there are still countless charred corpses, old and weak, women and children. Some were even disemboweled, beheaded and severed. The scene is so cruel that people can't bear to see it.

If the two armies were fighting, and the soldiers died by swords and guns, there would be nothing to say. Seeing this, the fourteenth prince couldn't help but grit his mouth full of silver teeth and gurgle. The anger in his chest was soaring, and he wanted to burn the Nine Heavens. I can't wait to collide with the Menggu army immediately, and kill it first.

Just as he was gritting his teeth, suddenly, Xiao Sheng's ears moved slightly, and he vaguely heard the sound of shouting and killing floating in the wind in the northeast.

The road that the Fourteenth Prince is taking now belongs to the Northern Xinjiang National Highway. Along the main road, the northwest is the target Yunzhong County, and the northeast is Suigui County. Xiao Sheng hesitated slightly, and immediately turned resolutely under his feet, speeding to the northeast.

Although the people of Yunzhong County are panicked, they have not been violated after all. The people of Suigui County are in dire straits. Now that you have met, as the prince of Dahao, where is the reason to stand by and watch?

After the time of half a pillar of incense, Xiao Sheng jumped onto a small hill, and then a trace of fish belly white that had just risen in the eastern sky, and he looked at it. Everywhere I looked, I saw that about half a mile away, there was a county seat. Up and down the city wall, a large group of people and horses are forgetting their lives and death, and they are fighting with their strength.

On the side of the city wall, it is naturally the soldiers in the county seat. They bent their bows and crossbows and kept shooting arrows under the walls. He also used the rolling logs and stones that had been piled up on the city walls, and smashed them down desperately. There were not enough wood and stones, and there was also a "golden juice" that burned hot. Once splashed down and contaminated with the body, ordinary soldiers were immediately burned to serious injuries and completely lost their combat effectiveness.

But the group of people who gathered under the county town and tried to attack the city were not vegetarians. Looking closely, they were all dressed in animal leather clothes, with big beards, vigorous hair, and their eyes were even more faintly green. From a distance, it doesn't look like a human at all, it's just a bunch of beasts walking upright. Needless to say, it must be the barbarians of the Menggu Kingdom.

The ancient barbarians have always been able to ride and shoot. Therefore, according to a rough estimate, although the number of horses is only about 2,000, the number of horses is at least more than 4,000.

The ancient barbarians divided about four or five hundred people, riding fast horses, outside the three city gates in the south, west, and north, roaring back and forth, shouting and screaming in their mouths, and they didn't know what the ghosts were calling.

Under the torches, the barbarians raised their swords. The blade flashed brightly, and it was chilling to see people's hearts. No one dared to go out of the city to break through. You see, outside the city is a plain. For ordinary people, no matter how fast they run on two legs, they can't outrun four legs. Rushing out of the city is just killing yourself.

The remaining more than 1,000 fierce ancient barbarians were concentrated under the east gate. Two hundred archers, who were particularly skilled in archery, opened their bows and took their arrows to aim at the city walls. As soon as someone shows their head, they immediately shoot an arrow at it.

This group of archers seems to be masters at the samurai level, and they can have two thousand catties of strength with a casual punch. If they entered the Tang Dynasty, it would be a full two hundred Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. The bows they used were not under the two divine bows of the Piercing Sun and the Dead Moon used by the Tang Shuanglong.

Even though the head of the city is protected by battlements and wooden shields, it is difficult to resist strong bows and arrows. An arrow came and struck at the wooden shield, and the shield was immediately a big hole, and when it was shot at the battlements, it flew on the spot, and when it was shot at a man, not to mention, it would immediately whine and mourn.

Under the threat of strong bows and cold arrows, the soldiers on the city walls fought bravely, and their morale became lower and lower. The remaining fierce ancient barbarians opened their mouths to bite the swords, used their hands and feet together, and quickly climbed the city and climbed the wall. Once they succeed in getting to the city, then needless to say, this county will definitely be finished.

These brutes move so fast. In addition, after a series of fierce battles, the items such as rolling wood and gold juice accumulated at the head of the city were almost used up. Although the villagers at the head of the city knew that they would never let the enemy climb to the top of the city, they were helpless, but they were powerless.

In a moment, a fierce ancient barbarian grabbed the battlements with both hands, and with a sharp force of his arms, he jumped into the air, stood firmly on the top of the city, took off the steel knife in his mouth, and laughed loudly.

Before the laughter fell, seven or eight soldiers on the head of the city roared at the same time, raised their spears, and rushed at the brute in all directions, trying to stab him into a hornet's nest and throw him back into the city. However, the brute just gave them a cold look. A backhand slash out.

said that it was too late, but then it was fast, and I saw that the sword light skyrocketed, and cut seven or eight spears in two. Two of the soldiers retreated a little late, were wiped by the sword on their waists, and were immediately beheaded in half, and died tragically on the spot
