【Chapter 635】Gao Jie Legion, North of the Desert!
After Namu Zhong finished speaking, he was silent. Everyone present is not a fool. With a gentle touch, they can figure out the key. Xu Xingxia didn't react just now, he didn't realize it. Once he realizes it, he will naturally take measures. As for what Xu Xingxia will do after thinking clearly, she can't control it.
Xu Xingxia's mood is actually a bit bad. It is estimated that it was because he was overjoyed and pretended to be too ruthless, and he didn't realize the problem of internal annihilation just now. Namu Zhong's reminder made him feel that the danger was far from over. Yes, it is absolutely certain that the Assassins arrived tonight and did not go in the wrong direction, indicating that they must have learned the exact information of their location. And this information must have been provided by the internal annihilation hidden in the Qin Palace.
No stupid assassin would rush into an assassination attempt without being sure whether he lived in the east or west. Because, that's basically suicide. Without even figuring out where the target is, launching an assassination operation is not suicide? Did these assassins kill themselves? Of course not. They weren't stupid enough to be like that. Those delicate crossbows show that they are definitely experienced killers.
As Namu Zhong said, Xu Xingxia will live on which side tonight, no one knows before. Perhaps, he will stay with the Wang family and accompany his family. Perhaps, he will come to Zhu Yilan's side and mingle with the beauties. This, in advance, was Xu Xingxia himself, and it was not determined. Therefore, before he arrived on Zhu Yilan's side, it was impossible for the Assassins to get accurate information and launch an assassination operation.
The accurate news about him must have been transmitted through the channels of internal annihilation after he arrived with Zhu Yilan and others. And this internal annihilation should be at the core of the Qin Palace. Otherwise, it is impossible to know Xu Xingxia's specific whereabouts. From the time he learned the specific location of Xu Xingxia, and then notified the assassin, to the assassin finding a way to launch the assassination, in the middle, it was actually two hours. It is conceivable that the efficiency of this internal annihilation is still very high.
Zhu Yilan said meaningfully: "Sister Namu Zhong, if you were an official, what would you do now?" How can you find out this internal annihilation? ”
Namu Zhong said calmly: "If I am an official, it is better to do nothing." ”
Sawanna asked curiously, "Why?" Do nothing? Isn't it in vain to look at this internal annihilation and continue to be at ease? In case he launches another assassination......"
Namu Zhong smiled indifferently, and said in a lingering voice: "I think this matter should be over like this." All those who had to do with that internal annihilation should have been wiped out. From this point of view, everyone who left the Qin Palace's mansion tonight could be the helper of Annihilation. However, it is simply impossible to try to find internal annihilation through them. ”
Sawanna frowned and said, "Maybe this internal annihilation hasn't left the Qin Palace's mansion yet. ”
Namu Zhong shook his head and said calmly: "Whether he has left the Qin Palace, it doesn't matter. Because, we simply did not find his way. Any relationship between the scene of the assassination and the internal annihilation must have been severed by now. Think about it, if the county lord's sister sent you to inform me to do something, and it turned out to be exposed. For the sake of the county lord's sister's safety, I must kill you. There can be no exceptions. Because, as everyone knows, only the dead are the most secret. ”
"In addition, I think that internal annihilation will never have a chance to be used passively in the short term. This time, he may not leave a valuable clue. However, next time, if he continues to use it passively, there will definitely be clues to be sorted out. At least, the scope of internal annihilation will be much narrower. The possible surname of his discovery is to be greatly increased. Therefore, he will not be easily used again. Unless he's completely worthless. ”
Xu Xingxia frowned quietly. He believed that Namu Bell's analysis was correct. If you want to find out this internal annihilation in the short term, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. It is estimated that the Chasseurs will soon find the body of the determinized liaison. It is estimated that there will not be any valuable clues on the corpse. And this internal annihilation, for the sake of his own safety, should not do anything in the short term. In other words, in the next period of time, the Qin Palace's Mansion will be safe for the time being.
It's just that thinking of a dangerous internal annihilation hidden by his side, Xu Xingxia felt very unhappy. This internal annihilation may be like a shadow, inseparable from himself. It's a terrible feeling. Of course, Xu Xingxia did not show it. Isn't it just an internal annihilation? Sooner or later, you'll find out!
…… The distant desert north, the vast wilderness, is almost lifeless.
In the morning, as soon as the sun came out, the warriors of the Leopard Cavalry began to move.
According to the Tatar guides, they have successfully crossed the vast, emptiest and most lifeless desert and returned to the human world. Not far ahead, there is the Tatar living area. What does this mean? This means that after wandering in the desert no man's land for more than a month, they finally see people. Their food, their water, and their forage are finally replenished.
"What's going on today?" Gao Jie asked the officer beside him suspiciously.
Since entering the desert, Gao Jie has forgotten even the exact date. No way, this kind of life is too monotonous. Every day is a constant rush, rushing, gradually, the brain is completely numb. Eyes are numb. Everything you see is almost the same, and you can't do it without numbness. It's good that I didn't go blind.
The other officers felt the same way. Their brains, like Gao Jie, are completely numb. No one knows what it is today. They also forgot how many days they had been wandering in the desert. Someone carefully calculated and found that today should be around Chinese New Year's Eve. However, whether it is before Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve, or New Year's Eve, no one can be sure. Perhaps, a night that you can't feel is even Chinese New Year's Eve. Perhaps, their Chinese New Year's Eve passed in a muddle.
"Forget it, no matter, let's keep going!" Gao Jie had no choice but to wave his hand.
Led by five Tatar guides, the Leopard Cavalry finally made their way through the desert and successfully appeared north of the desert. When they saw the green again, everyone couldn't help but let out a cheer. Green, what a lovely color of life. Along the way, they barely saw green again. At this time, even a little green grass tip can make the warriors of the Leopard Cavalry excited.
No way, they encountered too many unimaginable difficulties along the way. The path they took was one that had never been walked by a Han army for hundreds of years. No Tatar would have imagined that there would be an army of Han Chinese, capable of crossing the vast desert directly and appearing directly next to their place of residence. When they found out that the Han army had suddenly appeared, they were completely stunned and did not know how to react.
The soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry Army, with their strong will and perseverance, successfully conquered this large area of life forbidden area and created a miracle of the Han army. That alone is enough for them to be proud of. With their experience in marching, in the future, the cavalry units of the White Army can freely and easily cross the desert and attack the Tatars directly. It was simply impossible for the Tatars to use the natural environment to block the attack of the cavalry of the White Army.
Of course, with such a strenuous march, the appearance of a large number of non-combat attrition is certain. The Leopard Cavalry had more than 500 non-combat attrition, which was a full one-sixth of the total strength of the entire army. The Tuyuhun also had more than 300 non-combat attrition. As a nomadic people, the Tuyuhun people's ability to adapt to the harsh environment is indeed a little stronger than that of the Han people. If it weren't for the assistance of the Tuyuhun people, the number of non-combat attrition of the Leopard Cavalry might have been even higher.
At present, there are about 2,400 Leopard Cavalry and about 2,500 Tuyuhun people. Obviously, such a force is quite insufficient. The only thing the Panthers could do was to sneak attack. A head-to-head battle is absolutely impossible. With such a small number of troops, if you encounter a large cavalry force of the Tatars, it is still very dangerous, and there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated.
You know, they are now almost thousands of miles away from the base camp of the White Army. Even if you want to escape, you have to do it before the Tatars fully react. Otherwise, the Tatars sent thousands of troops to chase and kill, and it is indeed unknown whether the Panthers can escape safely.
"My lord, there is a pile of towers in front of you." The Tatar guide came to Gao Jie's front and said flatteringly. These five guys, in front of the bayonets of the Leopard Cavalry, are still very cooperative. In order to survive, they told everything they knew to the white-clothed army as if they were pouring beans into a bamboo tube. It is said that there are many Han annihilations among the Han people, but I don't know what to call the annihilation in the Tatars? Is it called Tatar annihilation?
The strange name of the pile of towers out of the Huangerhuai is a heap of rivers and stepping out of the river delta. In fact, it is the area where two rivers meet. If it's not winter, it's supposed to be pasture, with plenty of grass growing and suitable for grazing. The river in the east is called the Tachu River, and the river in the west is called the Dui River. Further north, you may also encounter a river called the Wangi River. This area is already inhabited by a large number of Tatars.
"How far is it from Horin?" Gao Jie asked quietly.
