Chapter 25: The Expedition to the Kingdom of Northern Hu (1)
"I'll go down and have a look." Wen Bufan said to Isabel.
"I'm with you!" Isabel said.
At this time, the sky was already bright, and the two of them jumped down together.
On one side of the hole there is a passage that leads into the distance. Wen Bufan held the torch and walked slowly forward with Isabel.
The passage was wide, and the two men walked forward for about half an hour, when a light appeared in front of them. The two of them walked to the front and saw that it was a natural hole, and outside the hole was a cliff, Wen Bufan looked down, and it was not very high from the ground, and the two of them jumped down. The bottom of the cliff was already crushed in a mess.
Wen Bufan and Isabel followed these indentations, walked forward, and walked for about half an hour, faintly hearing the sound of running water. Continuing to look ahead, a waterfall descended from the sky and flowed into a deep pool. The indentations were no longer visible on the edge of the pool.
The two of them walked to the edge of the waterhole to take a look, and although the waterfall was flowing continuously towards the waterhole, the water in the waterhole did not come out.
"There's definitely an undercurrent down there." Wen Bufan said.
"Looks like those monsters must have gone down the waterway." Isabel said.
Wen Bufan wanted to go down to have a look, but his water nature was not very good, and when he was hesitating, Isabel said: "Even if we go down at this time, I'm afraid those bloodthirsty monsters of the alien race will have already run away." And there is no trace under the water, and once there is a fork in the road, we don't know where to look! ”
"Yes." Wen Bufan and Isabel returned the same way, and after returning to the city, Wen Bufan ordered people to use stones to seal off all the passages!
At this time, the holy woman Xiyue had not woken up.
Isabel checked the pulse and said, "The pulse is stable, and there should be no major incident." It's just that I'm too tired and need a good night's sleep. Then he personally fed a Qi Gathering Pill to the Holy Maiden Xiyue.
"This time, the vitality of the bloodthirsty alien race here has been greatly damaged, and I don't think it will come out again for a while. Now we're going to teach those rebels a good lesson! Wen Bufan said.
"You're going to go in person?" Isabel said.
"Princess Changping has already sent Ouyang Fengbu, and he is a good hand in mountain warfare! The counterinsurgency was left to him. Wen Bufan said
"And you're going to be in the North?" Isabel said.
"That's right! Last time, we didn't do a good job in the affairs of Beihu Kingdom, and this time we must completely solve the affairs of Beihu Kingdom! Wen Bufan said.
Murhajita led 100,000 Yanshan Iron Cavalry this time, and after cleaning up the affairs of Donglai City, he did not leave. Instead, they camped outside the city and waited for Wen Bufan's orders.
In the north, there are Feng Yong's 150,000 troops in the east, Sui Shang's 100,000 troops in the west, and Han Ziming's 70,000 horses, plus Murhajita's Yanshan Iron Cavalry, there are more than 400,000 soldiers and horses. It's more than enough to deal with the Northern Hu Kingdom!
"Sister Changping has already started transporting grain and grass to the north, are you planning to cross the Gudra Desert this time?" Isabel said.
"The Northern Hu Kingdom has been haunting the edge of the desert, and has not launched an actual attack on us, just harassing us, but this is enough to make our northern border uneasy, so this time it must be completely resolved!" Wen Bufan said.
"Good! I'm with you. Isabel said.
Wen Bufan gently hugged Isabel into his arms and said with a smile: "I don't know how long it will take to go on this expedition, and there is also the wind and sand of the desert. You don't want to go with us. ”
"It doesn't matter, I know how to protect myself. Besides, I'm not by your side, and Sister Changping won't be at ease. Isabel meekly leaned on Wen Bufan's arms and said softly: "With you, naturally there will be no risk." ”
Yiren is like this, what else can Wen Bufan say.
At this time, the sun had sunset, and a ray of sunset shone on the two of them, stretching the backs of the two of them long. Now the world is more peaceful outside!
After Ouyang Fengbu came to the North and South Vietnamese, Wen Bufan transferred Yuan Zhaoyong and Yu Qing's security department to the north, and Ouyang Fengbu was solely responsible for counterinsurgency.
Wen Bufan redistributed all the troops in the north.
Ordered Yuan Zhaoyong to lead 50,000 horses to garrison the border. Murhajita and Han Ziming led the men and horses of the headquarters as the vanguard, himself and Feng Yong led an army of 100,000 in the center, Sui Shang led an army of 50,000 in the rear, and Yu Qingan led 50,000 horses to transport grain and grass.
After the arrangement was made, Wen Bufan's army marched towards the Gudra Desert.
After the army of Donglai Kingdom set out, the army of the Northern Hu State, which had been operating in the southern part of the Gudra Desert, suddenly disappeared.
Wen Bufan, who originally planned to eliminate these Northern Hu army first, dispelled this idea. Order Murhajita to enter the Gudra Desert and run directly to Mudra Castle, the royal city of the Northern Hu Kingdom!
There was an order for Han Ziming to follow the route that Wen Bufan and Isabel had entered the Beihu Kingdom last time, and after entering the hinterland of the Beihu Kingdom, he echoed with Murhajita.
There was an order for Feng Yong to lead 50,000 troops and garrison them in the southern part of the Gudra Desert to ensure the safety of grain and grass transportation routes. Wen Bufan joined forces with Sui Shang and marched towards the Gudra Desert.
Murhajita's Yanshan Iron Cavalry, still walking like flying in the desert, actually caught up with the army of the Northern Hu Kingdom on the fifth day of entering the desert, and the Yanshan Iron Cavalry surrounded the army of the Northern Hu State of less than 1,000 people, and Murhajita shouted: "You guys don't surrender quickly!" This shout was full of power, and the soldiers of the Northern Hu Kingdom looked at the Yanshan Iron Cavalry that had been several times with them, and they had long lost their fighting spirit, and finally one of them put down the weapon in his hand, and then the rest of the people also put down their weapons and surrendered.
Originally, according to Murhajita's approach, he would not let these people surrender at all, but would lead the Yanshan Iron Cavalry to rush and kill, leaving no room alive. It's just that Wen Bufan has already explained before setting off that many of these soldiers of the Northern Hu Kingdom were forcibly conscripted, so that Murhajita should not kill at will, and there is that this time the northern expedition must be focused on recovering people's hearts! That's why Murhajita didn't rush!
"Are you going back?" Murhajita asked, looking at the captives.
The hundreds of captives all bowed their heads, and no one spoke.
Murhajita looked at a man who looked like a small boss and said, "You! You answer. ”
The man looked left and right and said, "We're going back!" ”
"Go back? Where to go back? How many more troops like yours are there in this desert? Murhajita asked.
"We want to go home!" The man said.
"Home?" Murhajita asked strangely, thinking that these people wanted to be deserters before the war began? It seems that the soldiers of this Northern Hu country are not very good!
