XIII. Lonely Smoke in the Desert (1)
The desert yellow sand is all over the sky, the dilapidated official road is advancing rapidly, it is noon, the sky has been powerful, the scorching sun shines down, everyone's face is red, but the body is not a drop of sweat, the gown is all white salt, I didn't expect to march from the early morning before dawn, only a few hours, the sun is still half slanted, it has been vicious like this. [Dagger]
Although the military discipline is strict, and the formation has not been scattered, but if these people, especially those from the Jingqi people, do not speak, it will be really difficult to kill them. It's already August low, why is it still so hot," he shook the kettle in his hand vigorously, "If I hadn't reminded you, I wouldn't have half a drop of water left here!" ”
"Yes," the other accosting person blushed and his lips were already cracked, "these rebels, since we left the Yumen Pass, they are not ready to fight us head-on, they think in their hearts, they are afraid that they will wait for us to march, exhausted by the sun, come out to fight the autumn wind, take advantage!" ”
"It's his big dream of spring and autumn!" The man said disdainfully, and suddenly, a burst of feathered arrows flew to him, and although one of them was shot at him, it was because of the distance, and his strength was exhausted, and the man with the broken mouth was startled, and he drew his bow and arrows behind him, and bent his bow and arrows, ready to fight back.
"Enemy attack!" The team suddenly scattered a little, and the leader of the team drew his knife, stared at the left and right of the official road, and found that there were some alien-looking people wearing yellow robes and holding scimitars in their hands, riding horses, shouting and killing
There were also a few sporadic gunshots, "These garbage things, here again!" The banner soldier who bent the bow and arrows was furious, and he was made fun of by his comrades in a hurry just now, the flag man cared most about his face, the flag man soldier aimed at a person who rushed to the front, let go of his hands, and the feather arrow flew into the air, and with a lightning thud, he shot the man's calf.
Blood stains suddenly spilled out, stained with yellow robes, these people didn't need infantry to go out at all, bang bang, bang, the musketeers of the firearms battalion came out of their horses, lined up in three columns, and between a few breaths, they had already let those people drop a few corpses, shouting and retreating.
The army did not divide the troops to chase, but went to retrieve the corpse, placed on the side of the official road, a cyan Haidongqing spread its wings and flew high in the air, the battle at this end, facing the scorching hot wind, flew towards the back of the long snake-like team, a burst of eagle roar, the body swooped, and fell into the hands of a young general riding a yellow horse.
Monk Greenqin took a piece of fresh meat out and threw it to Hai Dongqing who was on his elbow, Hai Dongqing ate and then the horse flew to the cage behind to rest, at this time the soldier who reported the news also arrived, and told the small-scale encounter ahead, Monk Greenqin did not say a word, waved his hand to let the herald retreat, the army continued to move forward, after half an hour, to a stone forest, the army suspended and rested, lit a fire to cook, and waited until the most poisonous time passed at noon, and then pulled out.
Monk Greenqin sat in the tent and closed his eyes to recuperate silently, Wu Yundi walked in, his head and face were all yellow sand, wiped a handful, and said to Monk Greenqin, "Dashuai, the weather is still so hot, I am afraid that this day's march is not very good, and there are more and more people suffering from military heat." ”
Monk Greenqin nodded, "I also have this plan, wait for the early departure today, arrive in Shimen County, rest and recuperate, march at night, rest during the day, and now go out of Yumen Pass," Monk Greenqin let out a long breath, "When you arrive at Agubai's lair, you must be cautious at all times." ”
"Yes, Dashuai, there have always been two roads into Xinjiang, the northern and southern Xinjiang branches, Dashuai, now that you have arrived in Xinjiang, how should you go?"
"Agubai's base is in Kashgar, and the north and south of Xinjiang can be passed, and now we are here again, to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and leave no trouble, here, we are not familiar with the place, if we just go all the way into Xinjiang, I am afraid that Agubai will not be able to beat us head-on, and break it into pieces, and scatter to other places, will it be difficult for us to let our army stay in Xinjiang for a few years?" Monk Greenqin was a little helpless, this is all the tricks of the thieves, Lin Fengxiang and the Twist Army have been running around like this for a long time, but they are still in the mainland, in this place, they are even more like dragons into the sea. "If Aguba is a Muslim uprising, if he can't be destroyed at once, he will definitely be blown and reborn like a weed, and we can only rely on a large army to plow the fields."
"If Agubai escapes into Russia, it will not be possible, as long as he is still in Xinjiang and in the country, don't expect to be able to escape, beat the drum and raise the account," Monk Lingqin said to the general, "I have passed the Yumen Pass, how to go next, plan carefully!"
