The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the yellow sand is lonely and desolate at night.

After leaving the northern foot of Kunlun, Wu Ming, Princess Chaoyun and Meng'er officially stepped into the Western Regions under the escort of a thousand elite horsemen.

As soon as you step out of the pass, the wind and sand outside the plug will hit your face, and the dry sand and gravel hit your face, which makes people feel painful.

General Lin originally planned to let Princess Chaoyun sit in the carriage and hurry, but Princess Chaoyun refused, although Meng'er looked delicate and thin, but also followed Princess Chaoyun on horseback at a glance, this move made the two beauties rise a lot of prestige in the army.

The 100,000 army of the second prince collapsed, and the Huns outside the fortress did not seem to have received any news, and this team moved forward extremely smoothly without any accidents.

Even General Lin felt a little incredulous: "It's strange, I have never seen the Huns so honest in my 20 years at the border! ”

Wu Ming opened his mouth and asked, "Do you often see Hun cavalry here?"

General Lin nodded: "The cavalry of the Xiongnu is strong, not only here, but also long-distance raids to the territory of the Han Dynasty to plunder, so the border is full of uninhabited wilderness. ”

Wu Ming nodded: "Then what kind of city is the Fengcheng we are going to, and it will go deep into the territory of the Huns?"

General Lin's face showed a heroic expression: "Fengcheng is a fortress, there are no ordinary residents, all of them are stationed by the elite of my Han Dynasty, like a sharp knife, threatening the vital points of the Huns, so that they dare not act rashly!"

Wu Ming sighed: "The key point of the Huns?"

"Not bad!"

General Lin looked proud: "Although the Xiongnu have no fixed residence, there is a holy place in this desert, which is also their spiritual totem, that is-Wolf Juxu Mountain!"

"Wolf Juxu Mountain!" Wu Ming was slightly surprised, this name sounds familiar, could it be the wolf Juxu in the Sealed Wolf Juxu?

General Lin sighed: "I think that General Huo was young and promising, led the army deep into the desert, went straight to the Wolf Juxu Mountain, pacified the northwest in one battle, and made immortal contributions for my Han Dynasty!"

Wu Ming nodded, and sure enough, it was the Wolf Juxu Mountain in the Sealed Wolf Juxu.

"General, is Fengcheng very close to Wolf Juxu Mountain?"

General Lin snorted: "Wolf Juxu Mountain is two hundred miles northwest of Fengcheng, if you hurry up, you can arrive in one day and one night, over the years, there has been a shock in Fengcheng, and the Huns have not dared to make a big move." ”

General Lin looked up at the sun in the sky as he spoke, and turned his head to look at the herald on the side: "How long will it take to reach Fengcheng?"

The herald took out the map and looked at it for a moment, and replied loudly: "General Qiyu, according to the current speed of marching, you will be able to reach Fengcheng after nightfall." ”

General Lin frowned: "Give me the order, the whole army will speed up, and you must arrive at Fengcheng before dark! It's quiet here and a little weird, don't stay for long!"

"Yes!"

The herald answered, and rode his horse to the front of the group.

After the order was given, the entire army began to speed up, and there was no incident along the way, and sure enough, when twilight fell, they arrived at a lonely city in the yellow sand, Fengcheng.

In the desolate twilight, a dark and dreary city stood like a fortress on the barren field, stubbornly resisting the wind and sand.

"Why don't there be flags on the castle?"

General Lin has been at the border for decades, and he can see at a glance that something is wrong.

Turning his head to look at the few guards on the side, General Lin waved his hand: "You go to the city to take a look, what is going on." ”

Several guards received the order, rode their horses and ran to the city, and several people circled around the city gate a few times, and finally dismounted directly, pushed open the city gate and entered the city.

"The city gate is not closed!" General Lin was suddenly taken aback again.

A moment later, several guards came out of the city, mounted their horses and returned to General Lin's side.

"Tell the general, there is no one in the front city. ”

General Lin's eyes widened: "How is it possible! Fengcheng is an important border town, and there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers stationed all year round, how can it be empty!"

Several guards raised their heads and looked at General Lin with a helpless expression.

It's true that there's no one, and we can't conjure it up for you!

Wu Ming spoke on the side: "General, this matter is indeed strange, but now that it is getting late, it is better for us to enter Fengcheng first and station, than to have no danger in the wilderness." ”

General Lin frowned and nodded, Wu Ming was right, if this thousand elite cavalry encountered the Hun army in the wild, it would collapse if it lasted less than a moment, and if it entered the front city to defend the city with danger, at least it would have the power to protect itself.

"Into town!"

General Lin gave an order, and the brigade started again and entered the front city.

Blade City is not the same as a normal town, it was built according to the standards of a fortress when it was created.

Wu Ming and Princess Chaoyun rode their horses side by side into the city gate, and as far as the eye could see, the streets in the entire Fengcheng were horizontal and vertical, dividing hundreds of barracks.

Warehouses, training grounds, and general stations are all over the place, and everything in the city is prepared for war.

General Lin first sent men and horses to search Fengcheng thoroughly, and finally found a veteran in the warehouse camp in the west of the city.

The veteran was over seventy years old, and his ears and eyes were dazzled, and a group of people surrounded him for a long time to ask the reason for the matter.

The 10,000 elite horsemen in Fengcheng received an order from the second prince a few days ago, and all of them were transferred to the northern foot of Kunlun to join the army.

"The second prince actually transferred the garrison and gave up the Fengcheng ......"

General Lin frowned, Fengcheng was the first barrier of the Han Dynasty against the Huns, but it was given up so easily by the second prince!

For his personal purposes, the second prince actually disregarded the safety of the entire Han frontier, which is really despicable.

But in any case, these 10,000 elite soldiers have been buried in the landslide at the northern foot of Kunlun, and there is only one empty city left in Fengcheng.

Wu Ming couldn't help but shake his head: "Self-destruct the Great Wall......"

Meng'er, who was following aside, spoke: "No one, no one, don't you have a thousand elite horsemen here, can't you still hold this city~"

General Lin looked at Princess Chaoyun: "Your Highness, at present, you can only assign people to guard the city, please rest in the marshal's mansion in the center of the city." ”

Princess Chaoyun nodded: "There is General Lao." ”

Wu Ming dismounted, came to Princess Chaoyun's side, and helped her get off the horse: "I'll escort you to the Shuai Mansion, and by the way, check if the Shuai Mansion is safe." ”

Princess Chaoyun nodded, and said to Wu Ming in a low voice: "You can also find a room in the Shuai Mansion to stay, closer to you, I will feel much more at ease." ”

Wu Ming smiled and nodded.

Meng'er snatched it from behind and squeezed Wu Ming away: "I'll serve His Highness~"

Wu Ming shrugged, and then strode towards the Shuai Mansion in front of him.

Princess Chaoyun looked at Wu Ming's back, with a lonely look on her face.

Meng'er saw everything in her eyes, and a faint smile flashed on her face.

"Does Your Highness like Wu Ming?"
