To the west of Huma Pass, on the desert where no edge can be seen, there is a horse slowly moving westward, immediately hanging with two swords, and wearing a white cloth robe.

This road continues to the west, is the territory of the Gumo Empire, the first powerful country in the Western Regions, it is said that the people there are tall and large, as fierce as wild beasts, and the army in the empire is also brave and abnormal, and in the decades it has frequently invaded the territory of the Mingwu Empire, and even wants to occupy all the land west of Humaguan.

It's a pity that God doesn't seem to be waiting to see these people from the depths of the desert, and Chu Qianwen and his Northwest Army were born in Ye Kingdom.

Several successive wars have made this empire, which is known as the first in the world of horse warfare, been beaten out of the shadows, and after the iron cavalry under the tent was beaten by the Northwest Army, the Gumo Empire has not advanced half a step eastward, and even made a move to the west for a period of time.

Beyond the desert, both north and south, there is a vast grassland, where many nomadic people living in the desert settled and lived.

These nomads in the desert are especially brave and good at fighting, not to mention young men, women and children of seven or eight years old, as long as they are given weapons and horses, they dare to fight the enemy.

Historically, whether it is the border of the Gumo Empire or the border of the Mingwu Empire, they have been harassed by these people.

Especially on the border of the Mingwu Empire, from ancient times to the present, the Mingwu Empire has almost no tradition of horse warfare, and even the princes and countries in it have no precedent for cultivating cavalry legions, after all, the cavalry can only fight frontal battles, and there is no way to attack cities and other types of battles.

To put it bluntly, it's easy to bully, because the nomads are coming, and the Mingwu Empire has no way to resist at all.

It was a joke to give up the pawn and fight the horseman.

If there are too many people who go, it is simply a money-losing business, because these nomads have been fighting small-scale guerrilla warfare since ancient times, fighting wherever they go, grabbing wherever they go, and a large number of foot soldiers passing by, not only can not stop the other party, but may be played around by the other side.

Although these nomads sometimes seem to be very disunited, when they encounter danger, they will cooperate very tacitly, and if there are fewer people, it is purely the same as looking for death.

This phenomenon also continued until the emergence of Chu Qianwen.

However, it was he who single-handedly caused a large-scale cavalry legion to appear in the Ye Kingdom and even the entire Mingwu Empire, which made everyone begin to pay attention to cavalry warfare.

Whether it was Chu Qianwen in the past, or Chu Yujia now, whether it was the old Northwest Army or the new Northwest Army now, they didn't treat these people as human beings at all, and it was common to train them as soldiers.

When this horse traveled two hundred miles to the west, and when it turned sharply south into the grassland, it encountered a cavalry of the Northwest Army that was conducting a drill.

There were about twenty of them, and they seemed to be new recruits who had just entered the army, learning how to find their way under the guidance of veterans.

The two parties met without saying a word, the man in cloth waved his hand lightly to block two waves of arrow rain and a wave of charge, and did not hurt anyone, these horsemen returned in vain, not thinking about gnawing this hard bone.

Although they will have to pay the reward for the number of heads when they return to the station, there is no need to lose their lives for those few taels of silver, right?

Now that they have clearly revealed how their strength is, they will silently leave without entanglement with each other after picking up the arrows that were shot.

These horsemen have not seen the world, naturally know that the rivers and lakes are a bottomless place, I don't know how many masters are hidden in the water, but it is strange that this guy who looks young has blocked all his attacks without a sword, which also makes them jealous.

Further south, you will reach the nomadic settlements.

There are countless nomadic tribes in the vast grassland, and the larger the tribe, the more resources it occupies, and the larger the territory, the smaller the tribe can only be squeezed out to the edge of the grassland to find a place where water and grass can be said to live.

In the past few years, when the Northwest Army was growing, almost every three days had to come to the grassland to slaughter, which made these nomads on the grassland afraid and hate, but later I heard that the Northwest Army's surname Chu had died, so I was relieved.

But it didn't take long for this good day to hear that the son of the general surnamed Chu had arrived at the border again, and his methods were even more ruthless than his old man, and as soon as he came to power, he killed the heads of tens of thousands of grassland people to establish his authority, and immediately reminded these nomadic tribes of the fear of being dominated by the Northwest Army before.

As soon as he rode into the depths of the grassland, he met a group of tribal men who were grazing on the way, so he went up and asked where he was now, and asked for a bag of mare's milk wine.

The dozen or so men who were grazing all looked at this new face with cold eyes, and the man who handed out the mare's milk wine received a thumb-sized silver ingot.

Money is hard currency no matter where it is, even in this grassland, with silver, whether they go to the Gumo Empire or secretly sneak into Shuiyun County of Ye State, they can always buy some food and bring it back to their wives and children.

When the man took out the money at once, the eyes of the rest of the men turned red, and their greed was on display.

A dozen nomadic men on horseback blocked the stranger who had accidentally exposed his wealth.

The man with the sword strangled the war horse and knew why the other party came, so he threw the money bag hanging on the horse's back to the open space in front of him, and said in an authentic Ye Guo accent: "If you have the ability and are not afraid of death, come and take it yourself." ”

In a word, the opposite is to make those people dare not act rashly.

That bag of silver was certainly tempting, and it seemed to weigh at least twenty or thirty taels, but with this money, they would be able to buy a lot of rice and grain to go home, enough for their family to eat and drink for a few years.

But looking at the man in front of him, he doesn't look like a simple character who will be killed easily, who dares to hit someone's knife with his own life?

Seeing this, the man did not hesitate, and urged the horse to step forward, and when he reached the money bag, just as he turned over and dismounted and picked up the money, suddenly a wooden spear stabbed rapidly from the slanted shoulder, and the sharpened edge pierced the man's chest......

The spear was handed out by a ragged young man, and among the nomads there were not poor people who could not eat, nor were there no people who could not exchange horses.

Obviously, this young man is one of them, he can't afford to change horses, so he can only work for the patriarch, and he wants to wait for a few years to get the patriarch's weapon and reward a horse weapon or something.

However, this young man is indeed ruthless, even if it is stabbed out of a wooden spear, it is extremely sharp, if he is an ordinary person, he is attacked by him without preparation, he has to be stabbed to the heart.

It's a pity that the other party is not an ordinary person, and I don't see how the man moves, the wooden spear itself turned around in the air, brushed past the man's side, and the next moment the man has already held the wooden spear in his palm.

The man looked at the young man in front of him with the corners of his mouth raised, and he also felt interesting in his heart: "Bring it to me......"

The next moment, the wooden spear was already in the man's palm......
