on the vast wilderness.

A cavalry came slowly, led by Luo Zhang, who was the vanguard, had already been here once, Luo Zhang was also experienced in Gao Anti, and stipulated that he would rest every half an hour, only walk thirty kilometers a day, and never rush when it was dark, and slow down as much as possible to let everyone adapt.

It has been ten days, and everyone has basically adapted to the high reaction, and the spirit has gradually recovered.

"Drive!"

A scout galloped over, hugged his fists and said: "General, the guide explained, ten miles ahead is a place called Maduo, which is also the source of the Yellow River, there are two lakes, continue to the west is a high mountain, it is difficult to walk, there is a pass to the south, you can pass through Bayangala Mountain, that is the only way, there are already brothers to explore the way." ”

"Probe again, let the brothers be careful, the further you go, the more dangerous it becomes."

"Obey!"

Luo Zhang saw that it was still early, and it was ideal for the large army to camp by the lake, which meant that he had to go south, and he was about to return to inform the big camp, but the big camp sent people.

Luo Zhang, the people of the guard battalion, basically knew him, and said after saluting: "General Luo, the young master has an order, the main force is camping in Ngoling Lake tonight, the vanguard goes south, and after exploring twenty miles, he will find favorable terrain to camp on his own, in addition, the young master specially reminds General Luo that going south from Maduo is the Dongnu Kingdom, Zhuo Dai, and after Zhuo Dai is the Tubo King City, this route Tubo must be on guard, be careful." ”

The East Women's Country is also called the Women's Country, which is the Yushu of later generations, and Zhuo Dai is that song.

"Understood, let Uncle rest assured." Luo Zhang agreed, secretly wrote it down, while checking the surrounding terrain, this way over in addition to the barren mountains is the Gobi, fortunately along the Yellow River, there is no shortage of water, I hope that there will be no shortage of water in the future, and it is a problem not to let the march go.

After a moment of silence, Luo Zhang shouted: "Continue to move forward and rest at the Ngoling Lake ahead." ”

Everyone rode their horses, but they were not tired, but their buttocks hurt when they sat down, and they cheered up and hurried away when they heard the order.

In about half an hour, a huge lake appeared in front of me, the water of the lake was clear, calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to disturb and destroy.

"Pass the order, feed the horses, boil water, this time you must prepare enough hot water, if anyone dares to drink raw water, Lao Tzu will cut off his head." Luo Zhang shouted loudly.

The seemingly clear lake water may not be able to be drunk raw, in case of diarrhea, fever, etc., it will infect the whole army, and it will be wasted, these experiences are all taught by Qin Huaidao, Luo Zhang remembered it in his heart, did not dare to forget, and strictly implemented it.

"Newspaper—"

A scout came galloping and shouted eagerly: "Report to the general, twenty miles to the south, you will find a pass, heavily guarded, and the number is unknown." ”

"Is the pass dangerous?" When Luo Zhang heard that he was really prepared, he suddenly came to his senses, and his bones were loosened in the past ten days.

"Back to the general, the pass is built between two mountains, the mountain is dozens of zhang high, extremely steep, can not climb, the pass is piled up with huge stones to form a wall, blocking the way, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"Just tell the brothers to keep an eye on it, don't come closer, go ahead."

"Obey!"

Half an hour later, the army was full of food and drink, and continued to hurry with the boiled hot water, and when they came to the pass, Rao was already mentally prepared Luo Zhang was also startled, and his brows furrowed, a good pass, the two mountains are separated by more than 100 meters, and a fairly straight passage is formed in the middle of the mountain.

The two mountains are bare, very steep, there is nothing to climb by strength, people can't go up at all, which means that they can't climb the mountain, they can only take the passage, but the passage between the two mountains is filled with huge stones, about 20 meters high, it is difficult to climb, and the pile of rocks is full of Tibetan soldiers who are eyeing each other.

I can't see what is behind the pile of rocks, and I don't know how many people are hiding in Tubo, and it is a loss to attack rashly, Luo Zhang observed cautiously for a moment, and said tentatively: "Come and answer personally." ”

Maybe I didn't understand, maybe it wasn't like answering, and it was quiet on the rocks.

After shouting a few more words and no response, Luo Zhang gave up the temptation and continued to look at the pass, while thinking about a strategy to break the enemy, the cost of a strong attack is too great, it is not advisable, only outwitted, but it is difficult for people to get close, how to outwit?

Suddenly, Luo Zhang motioned for a scout to get closer, and said a few words, the other party nodded knowingly, hurriedly returned the same way, and went straight to the main force.

"The army dismounted, stood by the spot, and was not allowed to unload its armor." Luo Zhang also turned over and dismounted as he spoke, and sat down next to a big rock next to him, without the worry he had just now.

Niu Shidu leaned over and asked in a low voice: "General Luo, this pass is not easy to fight, the mountains on both sides are steep, it is impossible to climb, the pass is full of stones, blocking the passage, the stones are huge, it is not easy to move, Tubo is here to play with us, the key is not to know how many people are hidden in the pass." ”

"Don't worry, they blocked the road, which means that they can't get out, let's say it's safe, wait, take this pass in two hours at most, do you dare to take the lead in a while?" Luo Zhang asked rhetorically.

"Thank you for the cultivation!" Niu Shidu is overjoyed, this is a great opportunity for meritorious service, and it is also Luo Zhang's trust, how can he live up to and miss it?

Luo Zhang told uneasily: "Choose someone who is good at climbing for a while to go up with a sword and shield to take the lead, and then let the archers press the formation in the rear, cover the charge, and go to prepare." ”

"Obey!" Niu Shidu ran excitedly to prepare.

The army is expanding too fast, Niu Shidu has taken off the deputy word and become a regiment commander, this is the first battle after becoming the regiment commander, and it is the first show of his own regiment, which is very important.

Niu Shidu gathered a group of people together, carefully advised, and explained every detail.

It's just that the soldiers are a little worried, and even suspect that they have become cannon fodder, how to attack such a tall and steep pass, isn't that looking for death?

But no one dared to say it, and his heart was uneasy.

Not long after, the Tubo defenders on the pass saw that they had been waiting for a long time and did not attack, and began to shout irritably, shouting for everyone to attack, Luo Zhang did not touch the moldy head, transferred a division to guard, and the other troops continued to rest, even if the Tubo screamed and broke their throats, they would not attack.

The soldiers were scolded with a fiery temper, they were all playing with their lives, who was afraid of whom? began to discuss, and many people ran up to ask for battle, but they were all suppressed by Luo Zhang.

Just when everyone's mood became more and more impatient, a cavalry hurried over, one person with two horses, one horse on horse, one horse carrying things, walking very fast, led by Wang Hu, the commander of the artillery battalion.

"General Luo, the artillery battalion Wang Hu has been ordered to come to help!"

"Hahaha, Brother Wang Hu, I didn't expect Uncle to be sent by you, it's great." Luo Zhang was overjoyed, stepped forward to greet him, pointed to Guan Pass and added, "See? Blocker, I'm reluctant to fill in with my life, I can only trouble you, are you sure? ”

"What's so hard about that? After a stick of incense, you send someone to finish it. ”

Wang Hu observed the pass and said confidently: "Artillery battalion, up!" ”

"Obey!"
