Chapter Seventy-One: The Uncharted Clouds

Time slipped through his fingers in a hurry, and every day that passed would leave a mark on Yin Yin.

Now there are thirty of them, and the steel dagger cuts through the window lattice. The splintered sawdust is like Yinyin's heart, falling piece by piece.

For a whole month, there was no news of reinforcements. However, the Huns outside the city had succeeded in draining the water from the moat, and the ditch had been filled in, and the huge siege towers had been pressed against the city walls.

Those vicious Huns roared like wolves and jumped down from the siege towers to fight the soldiers of Donghu. Many people die every day, and the slippery blood stains the city.

The head of the city of Zhangye turned from red to purple, from purple to black, and thousands of people fought in the narrow city every day. The screams and wails are like the silk rain of early spring, endlessly.

Wailing and groaning could be heard in the courtyard of the palace, the only way for the wounded soldiers to tell their pain. The wounded soldiers who came down from the top of the city walls were all mutilated and severed, and there was hardly a single intact person. The smell of blood in the courtyard was disgusting, and soon some of the wounded soldiers were carried out for cremation. It is difficult for wounded soldiers who lack treatment to survive, and all corpses must be cremated, otherwise it will cause a plague.

Batu and John were arguing with the high priest, who considered cremation to be disrespectful to the dead.

Soon the quarrel stopped, and now Zhangye is a soldier who has the final say, not the sun god. Because the soldiers of Donghu are fighting against the beast-like Huns with their lives.

Yin Yin hugged Xiao Yunao and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Yun Ao's little face was red from crying, as if he was not used to this bloody breath. Hands scratching incessantly. The kitten-like cry tickled Yin Yin's heart.

"If the baby doesn't cry, your father will come to our rescue. Will come, he will come. Your father is a hero of the world, and he will drive out those Huns. Babies don't cry ......"

Yin Yin's mouth muttered, not knowing whether to say it to herself or to Yun Ao.

The light rain in spring is the favorite weather for farmers, and a long convoy runs along the galloping road. The convoy of two horse-drawn carriages lasted for ten miles, and the men in the carriages carried bows and swords. It's not easy to think about at first glance.

Yun Xiao was dressed in a cloak and galloped back and forth in the team. beckoned to follow behind, thanks to Liu Qi's policy. Dahan's gallop is very developed, which gives Yunxiao great convenience. The four-wheeled carriage marched quickly on the gallop road. Walking more than 100 miles a day is not a problem at all. Such a marching speed surprised Luan Xiong a little. But Yunxiao is still too slow.

Luan Xiong glanced out and rested his head back on the back of the carriage. There were twenty rangers in the wide carriage, all of whom were close associates of the Luan family. This trip with the head of the family is to protect the safety of the head of the family.

A month ago, the goshawk came from Lintong with a few servants. Luan Xiong was scared to death. thought that Luan Xu's private appointment to make perfume was discovered by the Yun family.

This nephew is always not a peace of mind. As soon as I could walk on both legs, I couldn't wait to get myself in trouble. When Luan Xiong accidentally learned that Luan Xu actually made a woman named Wu Damiang. Manufacture and sale of perfumes in the capital. Immediately felt like the world was spinning, is God going to kill our Luan family? There was such an obstacle.

The Yun family is easy to provoke, and leaving you a life is already for Luan Ling's sake of serving Yun Xiao. Now you're going to tickle Yunxiao's nerves again. You don't know it's a man-eating tiger. If you provoke him, he dares to skin people alive by the Weishui River.

Luan Xiong, who was too frightened, immediately grounded Luan Xu, locked him in a small courtyard, and was not allowed to go out, nor was he allowed to be interacted with by others. I just wanted to send my henchman ranger to Chang'an to kill that Wu lady. At this time, the goshawk came, how could this make Luan Xiong not afraid.

After a warm welcome, Luan Xiong did not hear the goshawk's accountability, but heard that the Yun family was going to recruit rangers to serve as escorts to Donghu. Luan Xiong's heart was so high that he let go, and he heard that he would have five yuan for a trip. If there is another reward for military achievements, Luan Xiong agreed without saying a word.

The Luan family's status among the Shandong rangers is really not covered, and in just seven days, the Luan family gathered seven or eight thousand rangers.

The goshawk set up an arrow target at 200 paces, and only those who hit the heart were selected. Most of the Shandong rangers are good at martial arts, but their archery skills are not very good. The standard of Yun's hometown brave entry has actually become a difficult technique among the rangers.

The result made the goshawk very disappointed, and less than two thousand of the seven or eight thousand rangers were reluctantly selected. Luan Yong saw the disappointed appearance of the goshawk and volunteered to bring a thousand rangers to help the Yun family.

Luan Xiong made up his mind that he would take the Yun family as the leader, hoping that the head of the Yun family would miss the old and let the Luan family go back if the perfume matter was issued in the future.

The rickety carriage suddenly stopped, and Luan Xiong, who was already dazed and ready to take another nap, looked out. It turned out that they had already arrived at the border pass, and the rangers were getting off the bus in a hurry. Peeing of peeing, yelling loudly and loudly. The clash of blades rang out from time to time, and the scene looked chaotic.

The Yulin drove the four-wheeled carriages to the distance and parked them, and the nearly 3,000 four-wheeled carriages were spectacular when they stopped.

The guards of the Yun family silently began to set up camp, and the cauldron was already boiling with water. When the water boils, a large piece of canned beef is put in, and the aroma is overflowing for a while. The rangers all snorted as they looked at the guard camp hundreds of paces away.

"Luan Xiong asked your people to set up camp quickly, and if you don't want to sleep in the open air tonight, you can set up camp. This is the last time to rest before leaving the country, and it is also the last time to eat hot food. Don't hurry up and cook yet! ”

Canghu's voice sounded in Luan Xiong's ears, and Luan Xiong saw that Canghu had walked to his side with a team of guards.

The seven-day journey was uncomfortable even in the carriage, and everyone had to get off the carriage when the carriage changed horses. These days, eating and sleeping are in this kind of four-wheeled carriage, which makes people dizzy. Fortunately, the steamed buns with a milky flavor provided by the Yun family are delicious. Otherwise, Luan Xiong was really worried about whether these rangers could survive.

Yun Xiao sat helplessly in the military tent, and walking 900 miles in seven days was already the limit of the march. The carriage needed to be repaired and oiled, and the horses and men had to rest. Even if he didn't want to, he had to spend a day at the border to make people and horses recover.

To face an army of 100,000 Huns, Yun Xiao's troops were not enough. The Yun family's guards numbered 1,900 people, and there were less than 4,000 people including those newcomers. The planned marching training was completely delayed because of the hurry. Xinding's combat effectiveness is very problematic.

There were nearly 3,000 wagons and more than 8,000 spare drivers. These people were either from Yulin or from the Northern Army, led by Gongsun He, the general of Yulin Wei. These people's immediate efforts are not bad. It can be called the main force, and they all bring bows and crossbows. Each person is also equipped with a protective shield, although it is still the kind of cowhide armor with poor protection, but the overall protection is not bad.

Then there is the two thousand banner gate Yulin led by Wei Qing, which is the pro-army guard of the Han Emperor Liu Che. They were as strong as young calves, in addition to having instinctive respect for the Yun family's guards. has a nostril-facing attitude towards other people, even in the face of Gongsun He, who is also Yu Linwei's subordinates. is also full of arrogance, and the faction of the Son of Heaven's pro-army was put on a full show by them.

Yun Xiao dared to conclude that these screaming guys who went to the battlefield were probably the first to be disabled. Wei Qing must be allowed to restrain them well, otherwise they will pay heavy casualties if they are full of golden iron horses.

The most headache for Yun Xiao was the more than 3,000 rangers, although they all looked fierce and abnormal. However, the real combat power is really God knows, Luan Xiong can personally appear in front of him with the team. Yun Xiao still felt very relieved, at least it proved that the Luan family was still deferential to him. This also shows that they hope to distribute more benefits on the big ship of the Yun family.

Yunxiao unfolded the map, and the satellite maps of later generations well interpreted the landform of the entire Donghu. It is roughly a long and narrow strip of land after crossing the Hexi Corridor. Thousands of years of change, the city can be convenient for the people, but the road poles can be changed.

But the mountains don't change, the rivers do, but the clouds can't do anything about it. There are only more than 16,000 people under his command, and there are many problems with not being affiliated with each other. But what he is facing will be 100,000 Hun iron horsemen, how to fight this battle. Yun Xiao didn't have any spectrum in his heart. (To be continued......)
