"Quick!"

"Full speed ahead!"

The army of the Western Expedition faced the cold northwest wind, silently marched in the vast Gobi Desert, from a piece of snow-white snow directly into the earthy yellow Gobi Desert, although it was like two worlds, but the biting cold reminded everyone that this is indeed the early spring, even if there are Mohou hats and military coats, but the soldiers of the whole army still feel the biting cold that the wind blows into the clothes.

However, this cold is not without benefits, under the long journey of the soldiers, there will not be a trace of sweat at all, but it also avoids the loss of water, saving a little precious water source.

"The whole army rests for half an hour, drink water to replenish physical strength!" With an order, the whole army slowly stopped, this time Hou Junji was not stingy, but directly distributed canned meat to the soldiers of the whole army, but the delicious canned meat in the past also lost its former delicacy when he was extremely thirsty.

Morton took a bite of the canned meat, picked up the kettle beside him, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and poured some more into the manger of the Shadow, and the road ahead did not know if there was a water source, and the whole army did their best to save water.

However, seeing the eager eyes of the beloved horse Jueying on the side, Merton had to pour some for Jueying again, and then resolutely screwed on the lid of the kettle.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, General Xin is here!" Xue Rengui came to report.

Merton couldn't help frowning when he got up and saw Xin Fang'er rushing towards the firearms supervisor's station, they had rarely crossed paths since the two clashed.

"Mohou!" Xin Fang'er dismounted.

"General Xin!" Merton responded.

"Passing on the order of the general, the front is about to enter the desert area, all the armies are ready!" Xin Fang'er passed Hou Junji's order straightforwardly.

"Obey the general's orders!" Merton said with a solemn face. He understood that the army was about to meet the most difficult part of the march, the desert road,

There are no plants, no birds or beasts, no water source to replenish in the desert, and the sand all over the ground makes the march extremely difficult.

After Xin Fang'er gave the order, he immediately turned over and got on his horse, but when he left, he looked at the huge convoy of firearms supervisors with a meaningful face and said: "I heard that Mohou is the best at speed, the four-wheeled carriage was created by Mohou, and the four-wheeled carriage that came to Luoyang in Chang'an is the best in the world, and even the snowstorm can't stop Mohou's journey. ”

Merton said lightly: "Then don't worry about General Laoxin." ”

Xin Fang'er sneered, and then urged the horse to leave.

"This person is really a villain!" Xue Rengui said with an angry face.

Morton waved his hand and said, "The clown who jumps the beam is not enough to worry about." ”

Xue Rengui just gave up, but when he saw the looming yellow sand in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a chill, it was a desert full of sky.

Xue Rengui has not never seen the desert, the last time, he followed Merton to chase into the eight hundred miles of Hanhai to pursue the desert that Fu Yun had penetrated into was wider and larger, but the last time he had made sufficient preparations, prepared enough water, and rode alone.

The speed of the cavalry was already fast, and Rao was like this, and in the end, he still stabbed his horse and drank blood before he got out of the desert.

This time, however, the firearms superintendent was different from the past, the whole army was only a thousand people, but there were more than 200 large carriages, you must know that the larger the carriage, the deeper the load, and the march in the desert is even more difficult.

Although the other armies also had carriages, they were few in number, and most of them were loaded with military tents, grain and grass, etc., and the manpower and horsepower were sufficient. In contrast, the burden of the firearms warden is a little too much.

However, there is no way, who makes the firearms monitor the weapon is gunpowder, which is naturally not as convenient as the swords and guns of ordinary soldiers, which is also the reason why Xin Fang'er is sure that the Mo family's march in the desert will definitely lag behind.

Once the army is lagged behind, the consequences are extremely serious, especially when there is no water source, which can be a fatal crisis.

"Half an hour has come, let's go!" With an order, the army was immediately dispatched, and this time all the horsepower and manpower were concentrated on the baggage side, striving to make the baggage pass through the desert smoothly.

"Sure enough!" Xin Fang'er watched the armies of the Western Expedition smoothly enter the desert one by one, but the firearms supervisor was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, the other armies noticed the lag of the firearms superintendent, and couldn't help frowning, the desert is not as usual, it is a Jedi, there is no water, and there is no supply, once the army of the western expedition is dragged down by the firearms superintendent, the consequences are unimaginable.

"General, the firearms supervisor didn't keep up!" Xin Fang'er stepped forward to report.

Hou Junji frowned, but still said firmly: "Ignore the firearms supervisor first, march at full speed!" ”

Although the firearms supervisor is extremely important to the army, but the 100,000 army is even more important, Hou Junji naturally does not care about the trivial matter of too much firearms supervision, not to mention that the two have a deep contradiction.

The army marched silently, and the soft sand under their feet greatly reduced the marching speed, and at this moment the marching speed of the western expedition army was reduced to a minimum, but everyone was trying to believe, because they all knew that the only way to survive was to get out of this fast sand place as soon as possible.

"Whew!" Hou Junji rode on the horse, and saw that although the speed of the army was very slow, he had already expected this situation, plus most of the military's carriages were eight-wheeled carriages, and they were all wide tires, even in the desert, they would not fall too deep, and they could barely drive in the desert, of course, the speed dropped greatly.

"How far behind the firearms superintendent is now!" Hou Junji asked in a deep voice, although he didn't like the Mo family, but after all, the firearms supervisor was a sharp weapon to break Gaochang, and he couldn't sit back and watch the firearms supervisor be swallowed up by this desert.

However, Xin Fang'er said with a strange face: "General Qiyu, yesterday the firearms prison was thirty miles behind the army, and today according to the scout's report, now it is less than five miles behind the army. ”

Five miles behind the army is no longer enough to call it backward, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not an exaggeration to keep up with the army.

Hou Junji raised his eyebrows, and looked at Xin Fang'er in disbelief, yesterday the firearms supervisor was still thirty miles behind the army, and today it caught up with twenty-five miles, plus the firearms supervisors are all heavy baggage, it is a little strange that the Mo family has caught up with the army so quickly.

"Could it be that the Mo family abandoned the baggage, and the lightly armed cavalry caught up with the army!" Xin Fang'er guessed that in his opinion, only this possibility could explain how Mo Jiazi was able to catch up with twenty miles in the desert.

Hou Junji turned around suddenly, everyone knew that the firearms supervisor was heavily loaded with gunpowder, and once the gunpowder was lost, the price paid by the army to break through Gaochang City would be too great.

"Let's go, I'll take a look!" Hou Junji waved his hand and took Xin Fang'er straight to the last firearms prison of the army.

When the two arrived at the firearms prison, the scene in front of them immediately stunned the two, only to see that the firearms supervisor had caught up with the army, and followed after the Niu Jinda army, and it was full, not only full, but even the dazzling more than 200 large carriages were also impressively listed.

The two of them were shocked in their hearts, and the firearms supervisor was full of personnel to keep up with the army, so there was only one explanation, the firearms supervisor had found a way to march in the desert.
