Lambert paused and continued: "Not only that, but they also destroyed the bridge, blocked the road with boulders and other objects, and when you sent people to rebuild the bridge and dredge the road, they jumped out and attacked you, and as a result, the soldiers and horses who went to rebuild the bridge and dredge the road suffered heavy losses, and they could not work with peace of mind, and the time was delayed again and again. ”

After listening to Lambert's words, Frank realized that Lambert and their journey was indeed difficult. Thinking of the tactics of the enemy army described by Lambert, he couldn't help frowning: "This kind of tactic is really unseen and unheard of!" Lambert nodded and said, "We've never encountered this tactic, but it's very effective!" ”

Then he said to Frank: "Well, these things are over, and there is no point in talking about it." What needs to be considered now is how to encircle and annihilate the army of the Ming Emperor. Did they go east after destroying the Montenegrin camp? ”

Frank nodded, "Yes." I have sent a herald to report to your Majesty the situation here. ”

Lambert nodded, thinking: "The Ming army is not only strong and fierce, but also very cunning. We need to be extra cautious not to fall for their tricks again! ”

Frank nodded sympathetically and sighed, "Your Excellency Marshal is so right! These Ming people are really, really like foxes! Frank then gave a brief account of what had happened to them. When Lambert and his generals heard this, they didn't laugh at Frank and them, but they felt that if they were to change themselves, they would be fooled! These Ming people, especially the Ming Emperor, are really cunning enough to describe his cunning.

George, the general under Lambert, frowned and said, "I wonder if the situation we are getting now is another trap of the Ming Emperor?" Everyone couldn't help frowning, and they also had such worries in their hearts. All the people here have fallen for Yang Peng's strategy many times, and have suffered a lot, not to mention the loss of soldiers, some of them almost gave away their old lives, and now for Yang Peng and his Ming army, it is from the bottom of their hearts, and any action of the enemy is not sure whether it is true or false.

Lambert pondered, "Judging by what he has done during this time, it seems that he is very anxious to rush back to Hu Si and cut his ears. Otherwise, the losses of our army will be even greater. Therefore, Yang Peng's department is advancing rapidly to the east, and there should be no problem with this. ”

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and Frank said: "It is the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty who guards Hu Siwei's ears, I heard that this imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty is very beautiful and is very favored by the Ming Emperor." Emperor Ming was in such a hurry to come back for help, was it for her? ”

Lambert nodded and said, "This is very likely!" If this is the case, we can use this to design a trap against the Ming Emperor. Frank was also self-employed, and as soon as he heard this, he understood what he meant, and said excitedly: "Good! We disguised a lamb and used it to catch the tiger of the Ming Emperor. The generals listened to the two of them, and they only felt inexplicable.

Lambert frowned: "There is a difficulty in this, that is, how to disguise this lamb?" The Ming army generally used carrier pigeons, and there must have been a connection between the Ming Emperor and the Yelu Imperial Princess, which could easily have caused him to tear through our camouflage lambs. ”

Frank laughed, "Your Excellency Marshal's worries were indeed a problem before, but now they are no longer a problem. Isn't it strange that Your Excellency the Marshal? Why didn't the Ming Emperor seem to know that Hu Si's ears had fallen at this moment? ”

Lamberton nodded, "I do find it strange. Then his heart moved, and Frank, who was smiling at the play, asked, "Is this matter related to you?" ”

Frank nodded, walked over to the camp bed, and carefully removed a sheepskin bag from a large leather bag. Lambert and the rest of the crowd looked at the sheepskin bag he held in his hand and were only very curious.

Frank walked up to Lambert with the sheepskin bag, put the sheepskin bag down, and said, "This is a secret medicine that Your Majesty obtained from the local shaman, and it is used to deal with pigeons. ”

When Lambert heard this, he opened the sheepskin bag, and when he smelled an indescribable rich aroma, he couldn't help but say, "What a fragrance! Then he saw that the parchment was still wrapped in silk, and he uncovered the silk as well, and felt a stronger fragrance, not only Lambert, but also the whole tent. Lambert looked into the satin bag and saw that there was a lot of pink powder, and couldn't help asking, "This red powder is the secret medicine used to deal with carrier pigeons?" What exactly is this for? ”

Frank said: "The smell of this powder can lure carrier pigeons over." It is said that carrier pigeons have a stronger sense of smell than dogs, and can smell the spice from hundreds of miles away. And this smell is its favorite, so it can lure pigeons from a long distance. ”

Lambert nodded, "I see. Then he smiled and said: "It seems that the communication between the Ming people in this large area has been cut off by you!" Frank smiled and nodded, "And that's not all. We not only cut off the enemy's communications, but also gained a lot of useful intelligence from them. If it weren't for this, our army would not have been able to break through Hu Si's ears so quickly. Then he frowned and said: "However, there are a few flying pigeon biography that say that the content is inexplicable, and we judge that it is a letter written by the other party in the secret language of the army, which should be the most important military situation." It's a pity that we can't decipher it, otherwise, our results will definitely be much greater! ”

Lambert looked at the pink powder in front of him and asked Frank, "Are you trying to send them fake news with the carrier pigeons in the place where you got it?" Frank nodded, "That's what I meant." Lambert thought for a moment and nodded, "I agree." Then he said to Frank: "But at this time, you must inform Your Majesty in advance." "Of course."

After Yang Peng broke through the Black Mountain, he rushed along the Kuzhang River all the way to Saolan. Yang Peng plans to rush to the Kyrgyz Mountains as soon as possible. Why did Yang Peng rush to the Kyrgyz Mountains as soon as possible? There are two reasons, one is that the Kyrgyz Mountains are a big mountain not far south of Hu Sihu's ears, if Hu Sihu's ears are really lost, Yelu Hanyu They will definitely retreat into the Kyrgyz Mountains and continue to insist on waiting for reinforcements; Second, the Kyrgyz sand vein is located in the hinterland of the Western Regions near Hu Sihu's ears, and the terrain is dangerous, and when the army enters here, it can contain the enemy's main force here, making it impossible for them to continue to advance eastward. Of course, for Yang Peng, I'm afraid the first reason is still the most important.

In the afternoon of that day, the Ming army entered the territory of Salan, and the guards were a militia of local nobles who surrendered to Byzantium. Seeing that the Ming army was coming, where did he dare to scratch the tiger's whiskers, he hurriedly opened the city gate and fled for his life.

The Ming army swept Lan without a fight. Yang Peng saw that the troops were already tired and tired after days of rapid marching, so he ordered the army to rest on the spot for one night.

In the dead of night, Yang Peng stood alone on the city wall and looked east. At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him. Yang Peng retracted his thoughts, turned around, and saw Yan Ji running over with excitement on her face. Yan Ji went straight to Yang Peng, handed over a handbook, and said with great joy: "Husband, Yelu Di flying pigeon to pass the book!" It's finally here! ”

When Yang Peng heard this, he hurriedly took the handbook, opened it and looked at it. I saw that the biography read: "Your Majesty, the concubine is now retreating to the Bal region, please hurry up and join the concubine!" ”

Yang Peng hurriedly shouted at Li Lang: "Bring the map!" ”

Li Lang immediately brought a map and spread it in front of Yang Peng, and several personal soldiers stood around with torches.

Chen Xiao searched for the Bar region on the map, and found it after a while, and nodded his finger, "Here." Yan Ji looked at the place where Chen Xiao pointed and saw that it was an area dozens of miles southwest of the West Sea, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "How did Yelu run there?" "The Barr region is dozens of miles southwest of the West Sea (now Lake Balkesh), on the north bank of the Chonghe River, sandwiched between two large deserts, and can be said to be a Jedi.

Yang Peng said: "This is not a problem, since Mei'er is now in the Barr area, we have to rush over immediately!" Then he pointed to the desert north of Salan and said, "This desert is not very wide, so we will cross the great desert from here and rush to the Bal region." Li Lang immediately called Li Xu and others and conveyed the order. Although the generals knew that the future was difficult, since His Majesty had given the order, they all regarded death as if they were home.

That night the armies were ready, and the next morning they left Saulan and headed north, and soon after they reached the edge of the desert, they plunged headlong into it.

At the same time, in the Kyrgyz Mountains to the south, Yelu Hanyu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and asked Aliqi: "There are so many carrier pigeons, why hasn't one come back so far?" Aliqi couldn't answer the question, just shook his head.

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "No! Not right! There's no reason to release so many carrier pigeons and not one come back! And so many days have passed, how can the eldest brother not send a flying pigeon biography? Something must be wrong! ”

The generals exchanged a confused look, and Mills said incredulously, "Can there be anything wrong with the carrier pigeon?" ”

Yelu Hanyu paced back and forth anxiously, frowning, "I don't know what the reason is, but something must have happened to make our carrier pigeons useless!" Then he stopped and said to Aliqi: "I think the eldest brother must be on his way to the east now, maybe he has entered the Western Regions, we must get in touch with him immediately!" You immediately send someone to disguise yourself as a local nobleman and divide into two roads, one along the Kuzhang River to the west, and the other along the Amu Darya River to the west, be sure to get in touch with the eldest brother! Ali Qi said yes and hurried down.

Yelu Hanyu was flustered and very uneasy, she had this feeling for a long time, and she had it when Da Liao was about to perish. Yelu Hanyu had a very bad premonition in his heart, and he was very worried about the safety of his eldest brother.

Seeing that Yelu Hanyu was so uneasy, everyone also felt uneasy, and Mills said, "Your Highness doesn't need to worry so much. Your Majesty is like a god with soldiers, brave and invincible, and there are so many strong soldiers and fierce generals under him, and when he was in the Caspian Sea, he defeated the Byzantine army one after another, and now there will be no problem! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Your Majesty encounters something, with Your Majesty's ability and the strong soldiers under his command, it will definitely be no problem to break through the encirclement! When Yelu Hanyu heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, but the worry in his heart still did not disappear. Reluctantly calmed himself down, he gave some orders to the crowd and went to the back camp to rest.

That night, Jerod fell asleep very late. However, it didn't take long for him to wake up from a nightmare. Yelu Hanyu sat on the bed, his face was pale, his beautiful eyes were full of horror, his forehead was a little cold sweat, his red lips had lost their blood color and trembled slightly, as if he had seen something most terrible.

Yelu Hanyu looked around in a panic, and saw that he was still in the tent, and the terrible scene did not exist, and his panicked and frightened heart couldn't help but calm down a little. Yelu Hanyu had no intention of sleeping, got off the bed, paced back and forth in the big tent, all he thought about was the scene in the dream just now, and his beautiful eyes were full of anxious and worried looks.

Jin Xiuying and Jin Xiuwen, who were guarding the door, saw that Yelu Hanyu was up, and immediately came in and bowed and said, "Niangniang, are you up?" ”

Yelu Hanyu stopped and said to the two women, "Go and call General Mills and General Aliqi to the big tent." The two girls immediately said yes and walked out of the tent quickly. Jerod Hanyu left the back tent and came into the great tent. After a while, I saw Kim so-young and Kim so-moon sisters leading two generals Aric and Mills in.

When the two generals saw Yelu Hanyu, they immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness." ”

Yelu Hanyu first asked Aliqi, "Aliqi, have you sent the messenger I want you to send?" Aliqi bowed and said, "The messenger has already been sent according to the order of His Highness. Yelu Hanyu asked again, "Haven't you received a message from the flying pigeon?" Aliqi shook his head and said, "No." Not a single pigeon came back. ”

Yelu Hanyu thought for a while, looked at Mills, and asked, "Mills, what has happened to the enemy army under the mountain recently?" Mills bowed and said, "There's no new news." ”

Yelu Hanyu pondered: "If the eldest brother enters the Western Regions, it is impossible for the enemy troops in this area to have no reaction. Then he instructed Mills: "Send additional scouts to keep an eye on the enemy, and report any situation, whether big or small, immediately." Mills said yes and ran down.

Yelu Hanyu stood up, walked to the tent, and frowned: "My heart has always been very unstable! I'm worried about what's going to happen! Aliqi bowed and smiled: "Your Highness loves Your Majesty, that's why you are so worried!" Yelu Hanyu's delicate face turned slightly red, and then asked Aliqi: "Isn't there any news from all the reinforcements?" Aliqi shook his head, "No. Yelu Hanyu frowned and muttered, "This is completely unreasonable, it's too abnormal." The enemy must have found a way to intercept our carrier pigeons! Aric was only incredulous and said, "Intercept our carrier pigeons?" It can't be, right? Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "Is there any other explanation besides this explanation?" Aric frowned, feeling that if that was the case, it would be a great disappointment.

At the same time, the Byzantine Empress Cynthia, who was leading a large army to the Tien Shan Mountains, received a flying pigeon from Field Marshal Lambert and General Frank. Cynthia then ordered the army to halt its advance and return to the Tiger Side. The soldiers didn't know what to do, but the military order had been issued, and no one dared to disobey the order.

A few days later, the army arrived at Hu Si Er, and before he could rest, Cynthia sent an order to order 10,000 soldiers and horses and more than 10,000 servants led by local nobles to defend the city, and she personally led the main force of the army to leave Hu Si Er's and march to the northwest. To the northwest of Husi's ears is the Bal region.

It is said that after Yang Peng received the news from Yelu Hanyu's flying pigeon, he immediately changed his original plan and led the whole army to leave Salan and go north, through a desert that is not very large, and march straight to the Bal region. Yang Peng was very anxious and just wanted to meet Yelu Hanyu earlier. However, at this moment, Yang Peng's mood was much more relaxed than before, after all, he had already received the news that Yelu was unharmed. What he is most worried about now is that there will definitely not be many remnants left in Yelu Hanyu, and there will definitely be little food, grass and ordnance left, if the enemy army sends troops to besiege him, he is afraid that they will not last long, so Yang Peng is anxious to feel that the Baal region and Yelutri converge.

More than 60,000 troops marched forward in a hurry, and after a few days, a city-like area came into view. However, it is not a city, but a special wind-eroded landform formed by wind and sand on the desert Gobi, which looks like a city from a distance. Yang Peng reined in his horse and said happily: "It's here." It's definitely the Barr region. Yan Ji looked up, frowned, and said, "Husband, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji puzzled. Yan Ji pointed to the Bal area in the distance and said, "Why is it so quiet there?" ”

Yang Peng couldn't help frowning. In fact, with Yang Peng's shrewdness, how could he not have discovered this, but for a period of time, his mind has been on Yelu Hanyu's body, and the so-called concern is chaotic, although many questions have been thought of, they are just fleeting in his mind, and he has not paid attention to it, he just wants to meet Yelutri as soon as possible.

Yang Peng looked at the Barr region in the distance and felt that it was indeed very abnormal. Then a terrible thought came to my mind, could it be that they have been wiped out by the enemy army?! As soon as he thought of this, Yang Peng couldn't help but panic, and immediately rode his horse towards the Baal region. When all the soldiers saw His Majesty rushing towards the Bal region, they naturally followed. More than 60,000 soldiers and horses raised smoke and dust like a tide and rushed towards Bar.

Soon after, large armies poured into Baal. The whole of the Bar region is carved by the wind-blown sand of the desert and many natural passages, which are like the streets of the city.

Yang Peng rushed into Barr, but there was no trace of anyone, and then ordered the soldiers to search separately. Tens of thousands of soldiers immediately dispersed and searched, people shouted and neighed, and the silent Barr was no longer silent.

Yang Peng wandered around these natural streets and alleys in Barr for a long time, and did not see any trace left by anyone. Not long after, Li Xu and the others rushed over to report: "Big brother (Your Majesty), we have searched all over, there is no one here at all, and there is no trace of anyone stationed!" Huyan Chijin couldn't help but say, "What a fucking hell!" Shi Ping frowned and said, "It's really weird! Niangniang clearly said that the army had retired here, but there was no trace at all! What's going on here? ”

Li Xu said to Yang Peng: "Big brother, are we in the wrong place, this is not the Barr region?" ”

Yang Peng immediately climbed up a steep slope, and everyone hurriedly followed.

Chen Xiao stood on a high place and looked around, only to see that three sides were next to the yellow sand, and only a bright water like a mirror could be seen in the distance to the north. Yang Peng asked Li Lang to bring the map, and then Yang Peng carefully distinguished the map, frowned, and said: "This is definitely the Baal region, there will be no mistake." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Huyan Chijin couldn't help but shout: "Since it's the Bal region, where have they gone?" ”

Everyone couldn't answer this question, and couldn't help but look at Yang Peng. Yang Peng frowned, remembered the letter, and quickly took it out and read it.

Yan Ji saw Yang Peng's brows furrowed even tighter, and couldn't help asking, "Husband, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "I was careless, I was careless!" I didn't even see such an obvious problem as this flying pigeon biography! ”

Everyone didn't understand what Yang Peng meant, and Li Xu asked, "What's wrong with this flying pigeon biography?" ”

Yang Peng said: "Such an important flying pigeon biography is not written in secret language, and Mei'er's caution will never make such a mistake." In addition, this trace is not Mei'er's, and in the past, Mei'er sent me a flying pigeon biography that she wrote by herself, and never let others write it. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Shi Ping said in disbelief: "Does Your Majesty mean that this flying pigeon biography was forged by the enemy?" This is also incredible! Huyan Chijin said: "The carrier pigeon is obviously ours, and there is also a secret contact code at the end of the letter, these are no problem!" ”

Yang Peng pondered: "If it is assumed that this letter is really forged by the enemy, then it means that they have a way to intercept our carrier pigeons. And to be able to intercept our carrier pigeons, to get the secret language contact code in our book, it is no problem. ”

Yan Ji frowned and said, "If the enemy can really intercept our carrier pigeons, then it is reasonable to explain that we have not received a reply from Yelu for such a long time!" ”

Li Xu frowned and said: "I have lost contact for so long, but suddenly such a flying pigeon biography came." It's weird to think about it now! I'm afraid there is really something wrong with this flying pigeon biography! ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "Nine times out of ten, this is the enemy's trap!" In fact, they had already revealed a few flaws, but ......" immediately said to everyone: "Pass the order, all armies should not search, and rest and guard on the spot." In addition, scouts were sent to investigate the area. The generals clasped their fists and ran down.

Yan Ji asked puzzledly, "Husband, since we know that this is the enemy's trap, why don't we hurry back the way we come?" ”

Yang Peng looked at the scene of the scorching sun in the distance, shook his head and muttered: "I'm afraid there is no chance......

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
