Chapter 424: The Enemy's Tracks

Half a month later, the army of the Western Expedition turned back 600 miles.

They searched all the suspicious areas along the river, but still found no trace of the Tibetans.

The cattle had been almost killed, and the rations were running out.

What is worse is that for such a long time in the harsh environment of the Kunlun Mountains, more and more officers and soldiers have suffered from unknown diseases, palpitations and shortness of breath, numbness of hands and feet, and puffiness of the face.

A tall soldier, holding on to the barrel of a gun, staggered forward, and fell to the ground as he walked. The comrades around him hurriedly surrounded him, helped him up, and called for water, but he didn't respond......

"Today's fourth ......" Mu Ying said to Deng Yu with a solemn expression.

"Alas......" Deng Yu nodded, he himself was getting worse, his straight waist in the past had become rickety, his cheeks were sunken, and the joints of his body seemed to be rusty, and it was difficult to move. Only the lungs purr and pull the bellows all the time.

Everyone is on the verge of limiting.

After being silent for a long time, Deng Yue whispered to Mu Ying: "Three days, I won't look for it in another three days." ”

"Before we...... Not all in vain? Mu Ying hissed: "If you mention it in the future, it will become a joke." ”

"That can't be done, let the brethren all fold here." Deng Yu said this sentence, and it had to be divided into two parts. "I'll take all the responsibility, no one will laugh at you."

"Alas, I don't know how difficult it is for us without experiencing it personally." Mu Ying let out a long sigh and looked at the reckless mountains in the distance, hoping for a miracle.

Zhu Fan led a few scouts and struggled to climb up the steep mountain wall.

Although the second child also began to become weak, his body was much stronger than the rest of the people after all. So when a large number of scouts were exhausted, Wei Guogong finally agreed to let him join the reconnaissance team.

This was the second hill they had climbed today, and they could look down on several valleys. It's just that there is no mountain to climb in this Kunlun Mountain. Almost every peak worth climbing is so steep that there is no way up the mountain.

They can only use the cracks and bumps in the rocks, use their hands and feet together, and move upwards little by little.

One of the scouts saw a protrusion on the wall of the mountain where he could settle down, so he leaned over and carefully rested his right foot. After trying it and feeling fine, I shifted my weight and raised my left foot to climb up.

Unexpectedly, the protruding stone actually moved, and he was about to fall down the mountain as soon as he stumbled.

At the last moment, a powerful big hand grabbed him by the collar, and His Royal Highness King Qin reached out to save him.

Bringing the frightened scout to a safe place, the second child let go of his hand and whispered, "Small, be careful." ”

"Many, thank you thousand." The scout stammered in fright.

"You're welcome." Zhu Fan dropped a sentence and continued to climb up with both hands and feet.

The scout hastened to follow.

After a meal, several people finally succeeded in reaching the top, and they were so tired that they were panting like cattle. It took a while to catch their breath, and several people pulled out their binoculars from their backpacks and reconnoitred while eating the snow on the top of the mountain.

Zhu Fan didn't have much hope, so he looked at it casually and put down the telescope. Look around the top of the mountain to see if there is any legendary Tianshan Snow Lotus, so that you can pick it back and see if you can cure the illness of your cheap father-in-law.

After looking around, he didn't look at it, and the scout on the side smiled and said: "Qianhu, this is Kunlun Mountain, not Tianshan Mountain, how can there be Tianshan Snow Lotus?" ”

"yes, yes, why didn't you say it earlier." Zhu Fan was deflated, and was about to beckon a few people down the mountain, when he suddenly heard the scout he saved excitedly said: "Qianhu, come and see, there are people!" ”

The excited voice, the trembling hand, led everyone over at once.

"Where?" Zhu Fan also leaned over and raised the binoculars, but he couldn't find the target.

"A little further to the left, in that col, a man just crawled out." The scout corrected his direction.

Others also looked around, but they didn't see anything. "You're not dazzled, are you?"

"Do you think of the rock sheep as a human?"

"No, it's definitely a human being, and there's a tall bale of grass on my back!" The scout has a red-eared face and an equator.

Before he could finish speaking, another scout shouted, "See, it's really human!" ”

At this time, even His Royal Highness the King of Qin saw it clearly, only to see a Tibetan carrying a bale of straw on his back, climbing out of the mountain col with difficulty. After a while, another ...... crawled out

Looking at the Tibetans who were grazing grass one after another, the second child's blood was boiling, and even his IQ knew what it meant!

"You stay here and keep an eye on them to see which way they're going." He immediately gave the order: "The rest of the people hurry up and follow me down the mountain, but we can't let them run!" ”

"Yes!" The scouts also came to their senses, revived one by one, and followed Hong Qianhu down the mountain with a slippery belt, and touched towards the col where the Tibetans were grazing.

However, Wangshan ran a dead horse, and Zhu Fan and a few scouts ran out of breath before they arrived at the mountain pass. Fortunately, there are many Tibetans who come to graze grass, and a small number of them have not left.

A few people followed them from afar, walked through the mountains for an hour, and finally discovered the extremely hidden mountain basin!

~~

At night, the scouts returned one after another, Mu Ying counted the number of people and found that His Royal Highness King Qin had not returned all the way.

After waiting for another hour, all the other scouts returned, but King Qin's road still did not return.

Mu Ying realized that something must be wrong, and quickly clarified Wei Guogong.

Deng Yu was also very anxious when he heard this, but he couldn't rashly send someone to find it. The two could only wait anxiously for dawn, preparing to personally lead people to find the road as soon as they could see the road clearly.

However, before dawn, the scouts of King Qin's road returned.

The soldiers immediately took him to see Deng Yu, and Deng Yu saw that there was still no figure of King Qin, and asked sternly: "What about the thousands of households?" Why didn't you come back together? ”

"Dashuai, we have found the camp of the Tibetans!" The scout excitedly reported: "Hong Qianhu brought a brother to monitor there, let us come back and report the news!" ”

"What?!" Before Deng Yu could speak, Mu Ying Lanyu and other generals blew up at once. "Did you really find the enemy?!"

"It's true!" The scout shouted, "We have seen their camp with our own eyes, let alone fifty or sixty thousand!" ”

"Good fellows, you've found them!" The generals were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Where? Mark it out. Deng Yu remained calm, ordered someone to light a torch and unfold the map.

"Right here!" The scout hurried forward, and without hesitation, drew a circle on the map. "There's a big col here, and there's a lake in the middle, and the lake doesn't flow out."

"Hiss......" Deng Yu clasped his hands to his chest, staring at the circle and the red forks on the side. The most recent reconnaissance is less than two miles away! What a stroke of luck!

However, if you can find it in the end, it is excellent!

"Dashuai, give the order!" The generals couldn't hold back and urged one after another.

"Five watches make food, pull out the camp at dawn, and the whole army will attack!" Deng Yu smashed his fist on the map and gave the order to attack!

P.S. It's not here tonight.

But tomorrow morning there will be ......
