Chapter 80 Coming from the yellow sand
The deeper you go into the Gobi, the more boring it becomes, as the gravel covers the hard soil and you can see how to remove the camel thorns, and there is little color except for drought-tolerant plants such as sand jujubes.
A gust of wind blew, but instead of being half cool, I just felt that the heat wave was coming, and even my breathing was not smooth, and before I knew it, the lining of the stomach was soaked with sweat.
"Your Highness, rest the whole army. ”
has traveled more than 100 miles, Ma Youliang turned his head to look at the Liangzhou Iron Horse behind him, and he was also a little tired, after all, he had been running for so long a long time, and he was afraid that the horses would not be able to stand it.
"Then, according to Uncle Ma's words, the whole army will rest on the spot. ”
Xu Xian's right hand went up, and more than 100 orders rode back to convey the order in the boss's mouth, but tens of thousands of iron horses stopped at the time of a cup of tea, which can be described as a ban.
"Hiss......"
Sitting on the ground and on the hard soil, it was a little hot, and as soon as he sat down, Xu Xian felt that the red iron on his buttocks was like a piece of iron, and he grinned in pain.
"Your Highness, it's good to walk two hundred miles to the northwest, it's not so difficult over there. ”
Ma Youliang sat on the ground as usual, opened the water bladder very leisurely and took a sip of water, then tore off a piece of jerky and handed it to Xu Xian, who had been in Yumen Pass for nearly 20 years and had long been accustomed to the environment of the Gobi, but now he was not half uncomfortable.
"The Gobi Desert is too desolate for more than 300 miles, and it can even be said that Liao is uninhabited, even the rough-skinned barbarians can't bear it, after all, this bit of vegetation can't support a tribe, and the only one who is a little angry is the lone wolf who was driven out of the wolf pack and fled here. ”
Ma Youliang took out a sheepskin map and pointed out the current location, and the Gobi Desert for more than 300 miles has become a barrier between the barbarians and Liangzhou in the long run.
"How many people are there in the Tuoba tribe?"
Xu Xian took a bite of dried meat, and poured it down with another mouthful of water, and his throat, which was sweet and about to smoke, was much better.
"There are only more than 80,000 people who control the strings. ”
Ma Youliang stretched out his hand and gestured.
"A tribe of more than 80,000 barbarians can raise more than 10,000 people who control the strings?"
Xu Xian swallowed the jerky, and the horror in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest, even the many tribes on the grassland that could fight well did not have such a terrifying proportion.
"The tribes on the grassland can fight on horseback at the age of twelve or thirteen, but the barbarians in the north are seven or eight-year-old dolls who can run dozens of miles barefoot. ”
Ma Youliang took out his cigarette stick and took a beautiful sip, and said it without hurry.
"How to deal with the broken tribe?"
Xu Xian opened his mouth and asked, his attitude was very low, after all, he knew that the barbarian was an expert in understanding this piece of Ma Youliang beside him, and it could be said that he had put his life's strength on it.
"According to the practice on the grassland, those who are taller than the wheels are killed, but our rules are different. ”
The horse had food and paused,
"According to our rules......"
"Break its tribe, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. ”
Ma Youliang slowly exhaled smoke, just like the farmer in the field who talked about whether to eat steamed buns or dough cakes for the next meal, and his tone did not even fluctuate in half a minute.
"Men and women, young and old?"
"Naturally, I still remember the fact that the barbarian entered Liangzhou back then. ”
"The barbarian's knife is still stained with the blood of the people of Liangzhou. ”
The old horse grinned, full of yellow teeth,
Shook the cigarette stick and reloaded the tobacco.
"Can you finish the kill?"
Xu Xian took off his stomach and was shirtless,
With a slight twist, the inner lining becomes twisted, and sweat drips continuously, and soon seeps into the ground again, leaving fine white crystals.
I didn't ask when it was time to retribution,
The grievances between the elders have nothing to do with the nonsense of the younger generations,
Regarding Lao Ma's statement, Xu Xian didn't have too many surprises, and he didn't have too many feelings, maybe he was a cold-blooded person in his bones, or maybe this barbarian couldn't arouse the beautiful part of human nature in his heart.
"I can't finish killing. ”
Ma Youliang sighed,
This damn brute is too good to give birth, and he doesn't get all together,
Like weeds, the spring breeze blows and grows, how to kill it?
"But let's kill a few more now, the border army in the future will save their strength, and the people of Liangzhou will be more stable. ”
"Damn, Lao Tzu is still upset!"
Ma Youliang tore off a piece of jerky and scolded fiercely.
"If His Royal Highness sits in that position in the future, he must use the first and second methods at the same time, and the death of the old horse will be revenge before that!" Ma Youliang looked at Xu Xian with a very firm gaze, perhaps for him, the barbarian has become an obsession.
"The kid saved, Uncle Ma can rest assured. ”
Xu Xian turned his head to look at the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry behind him, and he had finished resting.
"All the troops are out!"
At the sound of an order, the army set off again,
The so-called 800 li expedited has nothing to do with the march of the army, and the record of the highest cavalry march recorded in the history of the previous life is only more than 180 miles per day.
However, this world stirrup, horseshoes since a hundred years ago, directly pushed the cavalry to the peak of history, relying on the benefit of the stirrup Liangzhou iron cavalry can crush the barbarian iron cavalry, relying on the benefit of the horseshoe The world's most elite Liangzhou iron cavalry can travel more than 280 miles a day!
"It's almost there, but it's just more than twenty miles to the Tuoba tribe. ”
As the sun sets, a round sun in the distance shows half of its head on the horizon, like half an omelette in a pan.
The scenery is much worse than Xu Xian's imagination, no longer all Gobi, the ground is withered yellow grass and red willows and other plants can be seen everywhere, and there are small streams flowing through, but it has sunk deep into the dry riverbed, and occasionally there are hares and other creatures, barely the green space in the Gobi Desert.
In my previous life, I also went to the northwest of the motherland,
The scene here is very similar,
"The whole army is in a hurry, don't count killing!"
Looking at the smoke rising faintly in the distance, even if people are sleepy and lack of horses to deal with a small barbarian tribe, they are still handy, and several teams of barbarian patrol cavalry have been killed on the road, and they have no intention of hiding their figures, and the cavalry is as fast as the wind.
The galloping sound of tens of thousands of iron horsemen exploded like spring thunder, and small pieces of grass were brought up, and the whole earth shook lightly, and the movement could be heard from miles away.
The leader of the tribe of Tuoba is far away in the Golden Horde,
An old man walked out of the tent with a cane is the priest of the Tuoba tribe, countless barbarians are turning over their horses in an orderly manner, in the past, the Liangzhou iron cavalry was only a small scale of hundreds of people into the Gobi to cut wood, rarely guarded, and now it is the time of civil strife in Qingren, where can I think that there will be a large-scale cavalry going north.
"It's the people of that tribe, so presumptuous!"
The old man roared angrily with his cane, the Tuoba tribe is also a famous big tribe among the barbarians, and it has always been only to oppress others, and he has never been beaten to the lair.
Near, Iron Rider near,
Looking at the standard red clothes and black armor, Xu Zi Daxu, I can't understand where I can't understand!
"This is the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry ......"
The old man opened his mouth with a loud voice, looking at the cavalry that connected the heavens and the earth, the sound of horses' hooves seemed to be stepping on the heart, and a mouthful of old blood spit out, and he almost fell to the ground.
"The Butcher of the Northland is here!"
I don't know who shouted, and the heart that had just been mentioned instantly withered again.
Just when the iron horse was approaching, there was a sandstorm in the northeast direction, and the yellow sand in the sky was brought up, mixed with dead wood and broken grass, and the momentum was huge.
The priest looked at it, and there was a figure in it,
"The barbarian god has manifested his spirit and blessed my thousands of barbarian people!"
The old priest fell to his knees and shouted incessantly!
