Chapter 286: Westward Journey to Dunhuang
Changan.
After the end of the counterinsurgency, Xianyang, the old capital of Qin, was changed to Chang'an by Wang Ke, and a wave of old Qin nobles was cleaned up, and Chang'an was obviously ruined a lot.
However, Xijing, as the Great Qian Dynasty, is still incomparable to ordinary cities.
The team of more than 400 people was huge, and there were hundreds of carriages, which were loaded with all kinds of supplies. Wang Ke specially sent people to see them off.
As the vehicle moved westward, the team gradually left the control of Daqian.
The convoy came to Longxi along the gallop road, which was already the border of the Daqian Dynasty.
"Childe, this is the place where the Zhou clan rose back then? Where did King Zhou Mu come on his westward journey? A child of the Gong clan next to him leaned over and asked.
"Yes!" Wang Zhuo nodded and said: "Back then, King Ji Fa of Zhou Wu set off from here, went east to conquer the court, and destroyed Yin Shang in a war, King Mu of Zhou passed through here when he traveled west, but it is said that he went all the way to West Kunlun and met the Queen Mother of the West." ”
"Is there really a Queen Mother of the West?" The disciple asked.
"What do you think? The so-called Queen Mother of the West is supposed to be the master of a tribe in the West, and you should know that there are some tribes where women are in power. ”
"I see!" The disciple nodded.
This time, a large part of the team heading west is skilled in a few craftsmans, after all, when they are away, they need to do many things by themselves.
"Ancestor King Wen told us, let us go west to explore, we are the forerunners!"
Wang Zhuo said with a smile, as the sons of the Wang family, they have taken it as their responsibility to spread the Zhuxia civilization, which is the beginning of their eyes to see the world.
Breaking into a new world is difficult, and the stakes are daunting. Zijue's repeated miracles are also telling the Wang family that they have their own protection, and even if they die, they can return to him.
Wang's son has never been afraid of death. Even Wang Luo, who wanted to live forever at the beginning, wanted to have more time to complete the big work in his heart.
The convoy left Longyou and entered a gorge that was very wide and flanked by endless mountains.
The population was pitiful, with only a few wild tribes living, and the water source was not abundant, and the road to the west was gradually raised.
Originally, there were still some Xiongnu tribes living here, but since the Hetao was occupied by Daqian, the Xiongnu have been forced to migrate north after several successive defeats.
Wang Zhuo and his party only faced some rogue bandits with more than a dozen people. These people are not to mention robbery, as soon as they appeared, they were solved by Yu Linwei, who was idle and bored and was about to go crazy.
At the same time, these Huns also provided a lot of information for the convoy.
Wang Zhuo's biggest problem is that they are not accustomed to the water and soil, even if everyone drinks water after boiling it before drinking, there are still some people who are sick.
Fortunately, when selecting people this time, they were all strong and healthy people, and a large number of medicinal materials were prepared, and most of them carried them.
Of course, in order to take care of these patients, the convoy was delayed here for a long time.
The convoy did not march fast, and after leaving the territory of Daqian, their supply became difficult. The same is true for the replenishment of horses.
The hooves of a war horse are not protected by a horseshoe, and it is easy to wear out when walking for a long time, and if it is worn excessively, the war horse will be useless.
At the same time, the slow marching speed was also to preserve the combat effectiveness of Yu Linwei.
Wang Zhuo's convoy still attracted the attention of some people, after all, they could not kill all the Huns. Soon, just as they had crossed a piece of the Gobi Desert, a sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder.
There were many veterans in the convoy, and when they heard this voice, their faces changed, and they immediately shouted: "Enemy attack, array!" ”
"Childe, there are at least a thousand horsemen in this momentum!"
After training, and after a brief panic, the convoy immediately began to assemble the vehicles and line up in a formation. The soldiers of the Feather Forest Guard also quickly completed their armor. In just a quarter of an hour, the convoy had completed its defensive formation, and the bandits had come to a halt two miles away.
The entire team except for Yu Linwei has also undergone training, and these people are all elites selected from all over the world.
It can be said that these people are warriors when they get on their horses, and they are craftsmen and scholars when they get off their horses.
Seeing that the convoy had formed a car formation, the Huns were not willing to leave, this was more than a hundred carts of goods, enough for their tribe to live comfortably for a year.
Their children will not freeze to death in winter, nor will they starve to death because of lack of food.
Thinking of this, the Huns led by them were even more reluctant to give up, and directly ordered to attack left and right, and waited until these people were tired and then swarmed up.
Wang Zhuo saw that the Hun army began to harass from both wings, and chuckled: "These Huns are still the same, so let's give them a powerful look!" ”
"Yu Linwei, attack with me!"
"No!"
Immediately, two hundred Yulin guards turned over and got on their horses, and those Huns also began to shoot arrows, and then turned their horses' heads and prepared to leave, but at this time, in the car formation, a rain of arrows was shot in an instant, and the power of crossbow arrows was extremely great, and a large number of Huns were shot down in an instant.
Hundreds of Huns fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood stained the ground red. They could never have imagined that there were so many crossbow arrows in this small convoy.
The entire Xiongnu army also fell into chaos, and at this time, Wang Zhuo immediately led the army to rush out, and two hundred heavily armed Yulinwei rushed into the chaos of the Huns. The whole scene was like a lion rushing into a flock, and thousands of Huns were killed by 200 Yulin guards chopping melons and vegetables.
Wang Zhuo took the lead, his hand rose and fell, and one after another the Huns were killed, and Yu Linwei, who followed behind him, was also brave and invincible. In just a few moments, Yu Linwei killed the formation of the Huns.
"Run!"
"Run, run!"
"Help me!"
Yu Linwei rushed back and forth, wantonly killing the Huns, and these Huns, who didn't even have much armor, had no power to resist.
"Surrender or die!"
"Surrender or die!" Wang Zhuo shouted in Xiongnu language, and many Huns dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
Seeing the surrendered Huns, Wang Zhuo began to inquire about the news here.
After learning that these people in front of them were from Daqian, these Huns immediately became more submissive. The Huns were not all strong, they were nothing more than miscellaneous soldiers.
After surrendering to the Qianguo, these Huns told everything they knew, and Wang Zhuo focused on asking about the news near them. Knowing the route of the march around, where there is a water source, it is passable.
I also learned about the nearest city to here.
Wang Zhuo selected a few obedient people from these Huns as guides, and continued to move west, and soon he came to a city with a very different style from the Central Plains - Dunhuang!
