There are also many tribes of the big cannibals living in the Big Food Peninsula, generally known as the Bedouins who live on nomadism, the population accounts for most of the population of the Big Food Peninsula, and the Bedouins are divided into camel nomads, goats, sheep nomads and cattle nomads, among which the camel nomads are the most famous, and they occupy a large amount of land. The Bedouins do not have a fixed place to live, and generally live in tents, chasing water and grass. They spend the hottest and driest seasons on the fringes of agricultural areas, and when the rainy season arrives and the desert aquatic grass grows, they head deeper into the desert.

In addition to the Beindu, there are many other tribes on the Great Food Peninsula, such as the Taiyi, the Eysed, the Getfang, the Hanifa, the Quraish, and so on. The Quraish were the tribes of the Prophet and the four caliphs, and these tribes generally had a fixed dwelling, living mainly in oases, and living on business and date palms.

During the period of the Prophet and the Four Great Caliphs, the Bedouins were the main combatants of the Great Eclipse Army, and they formed the main body and foundation of the Great Eclipse Army.

It is not a trivial matter to attack the Great Food Peninsula in the south, although the slave army is divided into two groups of men and horses to attack south along the coastline, but there are still large areas of desert and desert in the middle of the peninsula, and the east and west armies are also a little far apart, in this era of poor communication, it takes a long time for the two armies to contact each other, and the news cannot be delivered in time, and Bai Xiaode, the commander of the slave army, personally led 6,000 people from Baghdad to advance south along the center line of the peninsula from south to north, which can attack a small number of nomadic tribes located in the middle of the peninsula, It can also contact and command the eastern and western armies in a timely manner.

The western army was mainly in the Hejaz region, including Tabuk, Medina and Mecca, while the eastern army was mainly on the western coast of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, while the 6,000 men led by Bai Xiaode mainly attacked the Najd region in the central part of the peninsula.

Nefd Desert, Jubai Village.

Jubai Village is a very small oasis village in the desert, where more than 300 large cannibals live, the plants in this oasis are mainly date palm trees, in fact, the oases in the Great Food Peninsula are basically this kind of date palm trees, there are some barren grasslands around the village, some sheep and camels are raised, and there are more than a dozen donkeys in the village.

Bai Xiaode stood on the hill on horseback, squinting at the endless yellow sand around him, and the prison army Hou Kaiwen rode over and handed him a cake and a pottery bowl, which contained a bowl of red paste.

Bai Xiaode took the cake and took a bite in his mouth, looked at the red paste in the pottery bowl in his other hand, and asked vaguely, "What is this?" ”

Hou Kaiwen said: "The jujube is boiled into a paste, eat it, it's very sweet!" ”

Bai Xiaode looked at the small cake in his hand, and said with a bitter face: "You just give me such a cake?" Where do you put it in your stomach? ”

"If it's not enough, eat this jujube mush! I said boss, don't be too particular about going out, this big food peninsula is a place where birds don't, in addition to the desert or desert, I have asked the people in the village, most of this big food peninsula is desert, the rest is bare mountains, oases, flatlands, grasslands are a lot, but the area is very small, can not feed many people, the big cannibals here in addition to eating beef, mutton, camel meat, the staple food is this date! ”

Bai Xiaode's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "Won't it? Don't they grow wheat, beans, barley, and alfalfa? ”

Hou Kaiwen shook his head: "The cultivated land here is too small, and they don't know how to farm, most of them have to live by grazing, and then they eat this kind of jujube." Only nobles, officials, and wealthy merchants could eat white flour, and it was also purchased from northern Syria, Canaan, and Persia, and it was not seen here at all! ”

Bai Xiaode was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said stupidly: "Damn, this is really a place where birds don't!" ”

Hou Kaiwen remembered something, and squirmed: "This is indeed a barren place, but there is one thing you may not know, in this kind of barren place, the men here can marry up to four wives, and their sexual ability is particularly strong, and one wife can't stand it at all." I'm ashamed to death compared to them! Along the way, I've asked a lot of cannibals, whether they're poor or rich or powerful, they have such a strong ability to have sex, and guess what I've found out about the reason for this? ”

Bai Xiaode is also a man, of course, he is also curious about this question, and can't help asking, "What is the reason?" ”

Hou Kaiwen said: "It's meat and jujubes, they eat this thing every day!" ”

Bai Xiaode took a sip of jujube paste, chirped a few times and ate a fine light, and then said: "It tastes good, but it's okay to eat a few meals of this thing, if you eat it every day, I guess I will vomit if I eat too much!" Hey, I don't know how the king thought of it, he actually thought of conquering this barren land! I really don't believe that you can become alive just by eating meat and this mush! ”

Hou Kaiwen didn't bother to pay attention to him: "If you don't believe it, forget it!" Not to mention this, seventy miles to the south is the Hail Bazaar, which is the main road of communication for the big cannibals to Syria and Persia, and it is a very large bazaar here, and the herdsmen and caravans in a radius of hundreds of miles around it will come here to trade, as long as we take here, we can get some supplies, and maybe a large amount of grain, of course, there will be absolutely no shortage of livestock! ”

Bai Xiaode took a bite of the pie fiercely and said: "The soldiers are almost rested, or we will set off tonight, seventy miles is not too far, even if there are infantry dragged behind, we can arrive before dawn!" ”

Hou Kaiwen frowned and said, "Marching overnight? By the time you arrive at the Hail bazaar, I'm afraid that the infantry will no longer be able to fight, right? ”

Although you should be cautious in fighting in an unfamiliar environment, you can't be too careful, too careful will tie your hands and feet and delay the fighter. He said: "Big brother, we have 3,000 cavalry, and when we arrive in Hail, the infantry don't have to participate in the battle, I only take 3,000 cavalry to attack, even if Hail has an iron wall, I will break out a gap for you, do you believe it or not?" The soldiers are very fast, big brother, you just said, we are only seventy miles away from Hail here, we have been here for a day, and if we delay any longer, Hail's big cannibals will be on guard, marching and fighting is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared, and wait until the enemy is fully prepared, this is not called fighting, it is called gnawing hard bones, understand? Maybe you'll break your teeth! ”

Hou Kaiwen rubbed his face and sighed: "Okay, you are the main general in the war on the march, you have the final say, we will not interfere!" ”

After nightfall, Bai Xiaode and Hou Kaiwen ordered their troops and horses to advance to Hail, seventy miles to the south, leading the way was the village chief of Zhubai Village, who was also the patriarch of this small tribe, Hou Kaiwen asked him to be the guide after careful consideration, threatening the lives of hundreds of people in the village, the village chief would not dare to play tricks, otherwise what was waiting for him would be the whole village being slaughtered.

The Western Qin light cavalry is generally equipped with double horses, but most of the horses will be given to the infantry to ride during the march, which can increase the speed of the march, but this time the situation is different, because after arriving at Hail, the battle must be started immediately, in order to keep the horses to retain enough physical strength, the infantry can only walk, which makes the march speed not fast, and in the desert, even if there are horses, the speed is not much faster.

Only seventy miles away, Bai Xiaode led his army on a night's journey, and at dawn arrived at the outskirts of Hail, which was indeed a huge bazaar, with not only large wooden houses and tents, but also many stone houses.

The army was lined up on the high post, Bai Xiaode and Hou Kaiwen rode at the front of the army, and when the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, Hail below the high post finally lifted her black veil.

The unsuspecting Hail appeared in front of the army of six thousand, like a naked cannibal girl, and almost all the big cannibals in Hail were praying for the dawn of the sky.

"Lord Hou, you can stay and lead the infantry and sweep the battle for me!"

Hou Kaiwen himself is a literati, although he also practices martial arts, but his three-legged cat kung fu is not worth mentioning in front of Bai Xiaode, although Bai Xiaode is fifty years old, he is still brave and powerful, and he can eat a sheep in one meal.

"Okay, send a signal if there is any situation, and I will immediately bring the infantry over for reinforcements!"

Bai Xiaode nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled out his waist knife, this is not a charge, it is a charge, the lethality of the knife is greater, more flexible and lightweight, and it is easier to slash and kill.

"The dawn has just appeared, we can't wait any longer, wait for the sky to brighten, now is the best time to strike! The order went down, the cavalry rushed down with me, and the infantry left behind to plunder! ”

The two torches kept shaking in the hands of the heralds, when the torches fell and extinguished, everyone rode their horses forward, Bai Xiaode held his waist knife and rode his horse down the hill, and the three thousand cavalry behind him also rushed down in turn, the horse's hooves trampled the ground, the vibration amplitude changed from small to large, and the sound also changed from small to large, in the dawn of dawn, the three thousand Western Qin cavalry rushed down from the hill like a black torrent, setting off the sand and dust in the sky.

A large number of cavalry rushed from the high to the low, bringing great momentum, and as the speed became faster and faster, the momentum rose sharply, and the big cannibals, who were praying in various places in the market, straightened their waists and looked in shock, and they could not help but look in the direction of the hill.

A ray of sunlight shone on the body of the Xiqin Iron Rider who was sprinting with all his might, and a swarthy metal armor and a sword with a bright handle gave out a piercing light.

Dozens of shrill shouts rang out in the bazaar: "Enemy attack, enemy attack ??????"

Countless big cannibals in the bazaar found the Western Qin cavalry that was rushing over quickly, one by one the Western Qin cavalry was wrapped in steel armor, some people even saw the cruel and bloodthirsty expressions on the faces of those Western Qin cavalry, the bazaar was completely chaotic, some big cannibals quickly picked up their swords and guns to fight, and some people fled everywhere.
