After the great army, the dead bodies were everywhere,

"It's a pity for the cattle and sheep. ”

Ma Youliang sighed.

"You can't be cheap, the barbarians of other tribes, right?"

Xu Xian asked back.

"It's this reason, it seems that His Highness has gradually become accustomed to the rules of our army in Liangzhou. ”

Ma Youliang said.

"Are these two days a test?"

"Sort of. ”

"In fact, I have already made a choice from the time I asked His Majesty for my life. ”

Ma Youliang said in a deep voice.

"But at that time, it was only because you were Your Highness. ”

"You are the son of Your Majesty. ”

"And now?"

Xu Xian recalled the sentence that the horse has food.

"Now it's just because you're Xu Xian. ”

The horse had food and ran forward with the horse's belly, laughing heartily.

The remaining cattle and sheep in the tribe were all slaughtered on the spot like those of the Tuoba tribe, since there was no time to take them away, they naturally couldn't be left to the barbarians, a bit of a waste, but there was not much hesitation when he was His Royal Highness, and the figure that was covered with blood last night and still indomitable always lingered in his mind.

Some hurdles have to be passed,

Now that Your Highness has passed that hurdle,

Naturally, I passed.

"How many barbarians are there in the Gobi Desert?"

There was an evening breeze, the night in the Gobi was very cold, the hand holding the reins was a little red from the cold, and the stinging sword on his waist was already frosty.

Xu Xian rubbed his hands and asked, the sheepskin map is very large, but he still hasn't seen the end of the Gobi, he wants to know how many enemies there are in this vast Gobi desert.

"Who knows Le, but I think there are still millions of people, if it weren't for the fact that His Majesty killed too many young people in the early years, I'm afraid there would be even more. ”

Ma Youliang said, a little helpless.

This Gobi is very large, and for the Qing people, this land is very barren, and they can't grow the land, and for the people who regard the land as important as the root of life, this Gobi really has no value, so naturally no one has moved.

Without the drive of interests, naturally no one has set foot in this Gobi, so no one knows how big it is, even the barbarians don't know it, because in many places the barbarians can't survive.

"But right now, if you go north along this road, you must not be able to reach the Hohe tribe in a few days, and 200,000 people are considered to be the largest tribe among the barbarians, occupying the largest oasis within a radius of hundreds of miles, with nearly 30,000 barbarians. ”

"The Huyuan tribe just now, although it is a difference of one word, it is indeed a thousand miles away, tsk, a total of 200,000 barbarians are afraid that the edge of the knife will have to be curled. ”

Ma Youliang drew a line on the map and handed it to Xu Xian,

The speed of Liangzhou iron riding is very fast,

There was a cold moonlight in the sky,

The sound of thunderous horses' hooves shook the entire Gobi.

"The army stopped advancing. ”

Xu Xian's right hand was raised slightly, and the rider dispersed backwards.

"Let's rest here for the night. ”

Xu Xian turned over and dismounted, riding a horse for a few hours, the inner thigh was a little numb, that is, the buttocks were about to bump and fall apart, riding a horse has never been a pleasure, and the more than 1,800 miles back to Liangzhou made him suffer, which Cheng thought that he couldn't get rid of it just a few days after returning to Liangzhou.

"Give Your Highness a change of taste. ”

Ma Youliang has a marching kettle on the grain rack, this is the mutton cut earlier, at this moment the water in the bag is put into the pot, a layer of white foam floats on the surface, gently fished out, and generously sprinkled a large handful of salt.

"It's cold at night in this Gobi Desert, and I don't change it for a fairy to drink hot mutton soup. ”

Ma Youliang rubbed his hands, and it was very warm next to the firewood.

Just as the mutton was boiling in the pot, a chaotic roar sounded in the col not far away, and at the same time the howl of wolves echoed.

"Whew......"

From afar, there are green dots in the distance.

"I'll take a look. ”

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, turned over and got on the horse, he vaguely heard someone mention that although there are many wolves in the Gobi Desert, he is still very taboo about the barbarian tribe, after all, the rough-skinned barbarians, the ordinary wolves really can't gnaw.

But that chaotic roar is indeed not fake.

Thousands of guards turned over and followed closely behind,

The patrol cavalry had already spread far away, and it was absolutely impossible for a barbarian to touch it quietly, not to mention that it was not a barbarian, so the army did not move rashly.

Torches are thrown,

In the firelight,

Xu Xian saw clearly the source of the sound, which was a group of wild men wielding wooden sticks and beating stones.

Let's call them savages,

Because I have never seen a barbarian like this, although the Qing people have looked down on barbarians since ancient times, but that barbarian also knows how to dress, after all, the bare ass is cold and panicked.

As far as the eye could see, dozens of wild men covered in thick hair, and other than that, insignificant wildlings were confronting the wolves, roaring in an incomprehensible tone.

After a rough look,

The number of wolves is more than 100, and the average wolf pack is only one or twenty wolves, and at present, this wolf pack is considered to be super large in the entire Gobi Desert.

People who live in the Gobi or the grasslands know that the loud sound is a complete deterrent to wolves, but at the moment, dozens of savages wielding wooden sticks still did not scare away the wolves.

If you look closely, the whole wolf pack is generally thin,

It can even be said to give people a feeling of hunger.

The wolves are extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, and the feast of the Tuoba tribe has attracted all the wolves within a radius of hundreds of miles, and now this super-large wolf pack is hungry and comes here, I am afraid that it is related to the movement of the barbarians in the north, after all, the wolves are really not enough in front of the barbarians.

When the iron horseman with torches like a dragon approaches,

The cold gaze of the head wolf swept over, the paws grinded on the ground, and finally raised his head and let out a long roar, and the wolves retreated to the south, maybe this is also fate, if it is not too far away, the Huyuan tribe still has a feast waiting for them.

"Twitter, goo......"

Xu Xian turned over and dismounted, thousands of iron horsemen had already forced the wild man into a corner, the wild man waved the wooden stick indiscriminately, they obviously knew that the current situation was much more threatening than the wolf pack.

"I didn't expect that there are really wild people recorded in the wild history on this Gobi. Xu Xian muttered softly.

"Roar ......"

The wooden stick in the hand of a tall savage was raised high,

Something muffled in his mouth.

"Roar, roar, roar, ......"

Soon the whole group responded, cheering and jumping, and there seemed to be an emotion in their eyes called admiration, or praise for the warriors.

Soon Xu Xian understood where this emotion came from,

"Whirring ......"

The tall savage gasped and rushed in his direction, the fierce eyes, as if facing a pack of wolves, as long as the head wolf was killed, the wolf pack was likely to collapse, obviously the group of wild people regarded themselves as "head wolves" and other creatures.

"Buzz ......"

The arrow cluster is in the center of the eyebrows,

The tail feathers of the arrow shook slightly,

"Bang ......"

The tall savage fell to the ground, and smoke and dust stirred up.

He handed the longbow back to his guard, and strode up the mountain, the wild man in the mountain bowed his head like a quail, his body trembled slightly, and the strongest chief of the tribe died so easily.

In Xu Xian's eyes, there is not much difference between a savage and a barbarian, so there are no other emotions.

The guards followed, and the firelight illuminated the entire col,

Walking very close, only a foot apart, you can even see the lice beating happily in the wild man's hair, and at the same time, a string of strangely shaped necklaces attracted all Xu Xian's attention, and the bark was made into a coil with various colored stones, red, yellow, and green......

It's very rough without any polishing,

This stone has a name called agate.
