Chapter 342: Peerless
"Whose place is this?"
Standing on the bank of the meandering Pearl River, Yang Feng pointed ahead and said.
There, his cavalry swept through a nomadic camp like hungry wolves, and hundreds of hurried herdsmen were instantly drowned in the dust from the hooves of their horses, and then these murderous fellows immediately rushed towards the livestock, who were familiar with the life of the herdsmen, and quickly drove out all the horses, camels, cattle and sheep, and a few shameless fellows simply rushed into the tent and carried out the crying women directly, looking like standard barbarians, and the children behind them cried and chased after them, and were immediately kicked aside by them......
"The little ones too!"
Yang Feng shouted majestically.
The cavalrymen were stunned for a moment, and then quickly lowered their heads and even carried the children.
"Yes, it's okay to raise them, especially this bearded girl, if they grow up on the grassland, they will be ruined, the smell on their bodies alone can make people vomit, if the rice and white noodles are raised well, then they will look handsome!"
Xu Hui, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion beside him, said with deep feelings.
I guess he raised.
At this time, Yang Feng had already reorganized the 3,000 army, after all, it was difficult to manage so many people with only a team, he divided the 3,000 cavalry into six battalions, each battalion of 500 people, and then selected twelve shrewd and capable teams as the chief and deputy battalion commanders, this is a temporary establishment, and it will be automatically disbanded after returning to Datang, of course, if they can't return to Datang, they will naturally not need to be disbanded.
"It's hard to say who is here, except for the Hucheng cities of Tuozhi, Baishui, Talas, and Kulan, the surrounding grasslands are nomadic, and these nomads have no territory to say, where the water and grass are abundant, they will go. These Hu people should be the Turks, but the Turks are not a whole, they used to be Tiele and surrendered to the Turks, but since Xingzhuang Gongsu Dingfang swept away the Turks, there is no real leader in this area, although Xue Yantuo rose up later, but Xue Yantuo was wiped out by us immediately afterward. These nomads are messy and all tribes have it, in the end, whoever is strong they will follow whom, before the Tuqi Shi strong they listened to the Tuqi Shi, but there are all the tribes inside, we are collectively referred to as Zahu, it is difficult to say which one it is, in fact, this Western Regions, except for Zhaowu Jiu, the surname can be called the country, and other places are so messy.
In fact, these miscellaneous hues in the Western Regions are easy to deal with.
As long as there is no strong tribe to gather the tribes, they will always be scattered, and as soon as Sulu died, the Tuqi Shi immediately dispersed and killed each other.
As long as we don't let them have a leader, they'll be scattered like this forever.
On the contrary, as soon as they had a leader, it immediately became a terrible force. ”
Xu Hui said.
"You know a lot!"
Yang Feng said unexpectedly.
"The subordinates have lived in the Western Regions for generations, and the great-ancestors of the subordinates were with Xingzhuang Gong to destroy the Western Turks, and then they stayed in the Western Regions and lived in Qiuzi."
Xu Hui said with a smile.
"Su Dingfang is indeed a genius!"
Yang Feng said with emotion.
It's hard to imagine how brave and invincible Su Dingfang's Tang army was when he hit this place, you must know that this place is not very far from the Aral Sea, and it is really thousands of miles away from Chang'an, he has always wondered how such a top famous general became the villain of Xue Renguili?
"Captain, there's a big food ranger in the back."
At this time, a team member came from behind and said.
"Leave them alone!"
Yang Feng said.
Their position at this time is actually basically in a straight line from east to west with Talas, but it is still separated by hundreds of miles of wasteland, at this time the big cannibal must have gotten the news that he rescued the captives, and he will either return to the north or go south to Ningyuan, but Ningyuan has to go through the battle first, that is the only entrance to the Firkana Basin, and the big cannibal has already controlled there, it is not easy for them to think about it, so it is normal to return north, and the north has to go to Talas, and the same can only choose to bypass this fortress, In order to prevent them from bypassing Talas, the Great Cannibals must have sent out a large number of scouts to search.
But Yang Feng is not worried about this.
First, his advance speed was fast, and it was difficult for the Great Food Cavalry to catch up in a short time, and the place where he was going next was different.
What he was going to take next was a route that didn't worry about being pursued at all.
Or a route that no one dares to pursue.
Five days later, Yang Feng's army appeared north of the Pearl River, northwest of the Karatau Mountain, the extreme end of the Tianshan Mountains to the northwest.
"This is truly a peerless realm!"
Even with his rich experience, he can only let out such an emotion.
At this time, under his feet was a boundless wasteland, and in the mottled yellow sand mixed with dust, clusters of wild grass and low shrubs grew tenaciously, but it was difficult to see how much green, all of them were half-dead, and such a scene seemed to be endless in his vision, a gust of wind blew, and the dust was raised with fine dead leaves, and a lone dying old tree stood like a flag.
The geographical name here is Moinkum Desert.
Passing through this desert, it is the famous river Chu River in the Western Regions, or Broken Leaf Water, and Yang Feng's destination Broken Leaf is 700 kilometers upstream of this river, this east-west desert and the same east-west Karatau Mountains in the south are his guarantee of immunity to the Great Food Cavalry, no one will cross the Karatau Mountains and then cross hundreds of miles of desert to make trouble for him, which is also the reason why Talas City is a fortress, because Talas City is just on the eastern passage.
But it is not easy to cross this desert to reach the Chu River.
You must know that even the nomads of the Turgish rarely come here, and his army of 3,000 wants to get enough supplies in this desert, which is two hundred kilometers from the Baikonur space center and four hundred kilometers from the Aral Sea, it is not an easy task, and the food is good, and the Turkic tribes they have just sacked before have provided them with enough livestock and camels, which can guarantee their food supply through this desert, but ......
"Still haven't found water."
The Tang Anxi army is Xu Hui said helplessly.
A group of soldiers in front of him were digging hard in a promising barren grass, and although there was indeed a little moisture in the sand, it should be fine to supply a small camel caravan, but it was pure nonsense to supply an army of three thousand.
"There won't be no water!"
Yang Feng said confidently.
He didn't believe that there was no water here, this desert swallowed up the Chu River, the Sareyi River, it was impossible to be without water!
"Captain, there's a lake to the north!"
At this moment, two cavalrymen in search of water came rushing forward, shouting excitedly as they ran.
The soldiers who were waiting in thirst and couldn't wait to suck the moisture of the sand all stood up at once, Xu Hui was the first to meet him, and the two cavalrymen dismounted in front of Yang Feng, and saluted excitedly and said: "Captain, there is a lake twenty miles away, what a big lake!" ”
Cheers rang out immediately.
"Let's go, let's see!"
Yang Feng waved his hand and said.
Three thousand cavalry quickly mounted their horses, followed the two soldiers to the north, the distance of twenty miles was only half an hour, and soon after boarding a sand dune, a lake of at least two square kilometers appeared in front of them, and the Tang army, which had been working for a day, cheered and rushed straight down, and soon arrived at the lake, Xu Hui was the first to jump off his horse, took a sip of the lake water, and then ......
"Poof!"
He squirted again.
"Dam, it's saltwater!"
He turned his head sadly.
At this moment, they were all dumbfounded, and those unwilling Tang soldiers picked up the lake water one after another, but after drinking it, it squirted out.
Yang Feng looked at them speechlessly.
It was clear that the time had come for him to pretend again.
"Grab a water bladder!"
He said to Yang An, a personal soldier beside him.
Yang An hurriedly handed over a water bladder.
Yang Feng took the water bladder and dismounted, and walked directly to the edge of the lake, those soldiers all looked at their captain suspiciously, and then saw the captain indifferently stretched out his right hand to reach above the lake, and at the same time put the mouth of the water bladder under his right hand with his left hand, and then he looked around, revealing a high smile. The next moment a strange scene appeared, I saw a white mist appear on the palm of his right hand, and in the blink of an eye, water droplets dripped from the edge of his palm, and the speed of dripping became faster and faster, and soon it became a continuous stream of water, he kept walking by the lake in this posture, and the water continued to fall in the water bladder, and the water bladder slowly bulged.
"Taste it!"
About half an hour later, Yang Feng handed the full water bladder to Xu Hui and said.
Xu Hui took a sip cautiously.
"Good water!"
Then he excitedly raised his water bladder and shouted.
"Long live the captain!"
All the Tang soldiers around him fell to their knees at once, kowtowed to Yang Feng and shouted reverently as if worshiping a god.
"Get up, I'm just going to be taught some immortal skills by the immortals, since the brothers follow me, then I won't let you die of thirst, it's not a secret, I've already died once before, it was the immortals who sent my soul back, and gave immortal arts and divine power, and this is just a small skill of carving insects, and there are many immortal skills taught by immortals! Follow me, your best days are yet to come! ”
Yang Feng said with a smile.
That's what he wants.
This is also the reason why he dared to take these soldiers across this desert, in fact, even if there is no lake, he can condense only the water vapor in the ordinary air, but it does not work well on the surface of the lake, and there is no such effect! Now after this visual stimulation, these soldiers' trust in him was immediately promoted to blind worship, it can be said that he is taking these people across the Taklamakan Desert, these people will not flinch, after all, the Tang Dynasty worships immortals, at this time the Tang Dynasty is respected by Taoism, and the Li family claims to be the descendants of Li Dan, and an immortal leads them, so there is nothing to fear.
Although the speed at which he condensed water was not very fast, it was still a bit difficult to get the three thousand people to drink to their heart's content, but there was no pressure to maintain the minimum demand.
And that's enough.
