In the end, Gao Jie felt that it was still unsafe, and said categorically: "Distribute leaflets to the forces in various places, and say that whoever catches Rosalind and Marthatini, our white-clothed army is willing to bid 5,000 taels of gold to buy!" In addition to gold, there are other benefits! ”

"On the contrary, if anyone dares to help Rosalind and Marthadine, or collect them, once we find out, they will be punished with the most cruel punishment, and the extermination of the species, no problem! Ask them to weigh it up! ”

…… Sure enough, Gao Jie's arrangement soon worked. The various units of the Mastiff Cavalry Army, which attacked one after another, soon controlled the area within a radius of hundreds of miles around the loss of fork force, and had a strong deterrent to all forces. Rosalind and Marthatini, along with the Zealot Guards, encountered a succession of dangers shortly after leaving Kun Lost. They were horrified to find that there were patrols of the White Army everywhere, and there were local tribes trying to capture them.

Thankfully, Rosalind's Zealot Guard is indeed powerful. Every time they replenished supplies, they did not alarm the local tribes. Because, they take the most cruel way, to kill their mouths. Leave absolutely no one alive. After receiving supplies, immediately flee away, and definitely do not stay nearby. Therefore, the local tribes have never been able to catch them. However, after all, their whereabouts have been exposed, and the situation is becoming more and more dangerous.

After Gao Jie got the information, he immediately dispatched a number of elite squads to follow Rosalind and Marthatini. Many times, the elite detachment of the Mastiff Cavalry Army has been very close to Rosalind and Mathatini. It's a pity that the mastiff cavalry is still equipped with a moon gun, which is not powerful enough to defeat all the fanatics.

Each attack of the Mastiffs left only a dozen corpses left behind by the fanatics, but the targets they were trying to capture, Rosalind and Marthadine, were never caught. On several occasions, the Mastiff Cavalry warriors were so close to their targets that they were almost within reach. It was as if he could grab them with a single stretch of his hand. However, under the desperate protection of the fanatics, Rosalind and Marthatini finally escaped.

"Damn it!"

"You bastards!"

"Run! Keep running! Why didn't you run away? ”

The warriors of the Mastiff Cavalry, facing the corpses of the fanatics, vented their anger fiercely.

It's really frustrating that a large group of gentlemen, with all their might, can't catch two women. It is estimated that Gao Jie will faint to death with anger when he learns the news. When, in the hands of the mastiff cavalry, there was actually a prey that could escape?

However, the relentless pursuit of the mastiff cavalry team also made Rosalind and Martha Tini feel very tired. They have little time to rest. Now they are no different from refugees who have fled. As the number of battles grew, the number of fanatics became smaller and smaller, and in the end there were only more than one hundred and thirty men.

Desperation, Masatini said, "Rosa, we can't escape. ”

Rosalind was tired, her eyes were red, and she was tired, but she was still conscious and determined. She said in a deep voice, "No, we can definitely escape." You have to have faith. As long as we don't give up, we will definitely be able to escape. ”

Mathatini still didn't have faith. She was already utterly hopeless. Behind them, there was Sawana in pursuit. In front of them, there were white-clothed soldiers intercepting them. There are wolves in front and pursuers in the back, and they are almost in a desperate situation.

Rosalind said cautiously: "From now on, let's divert to the northwest. ”

Marthatini said bitterly: "What do you mean, let's not go to the fork and lose the force, go around a big circle, and go to the force?" And then return home from Yili Shori? ”

Rosalind nodded, and said with a determined expression, "This is the only way to live." ”

The Western Desert has the advantage that it can be passed everywhere. In the desert Gobi Desert, there are almost no fixed routes. You can go in either direction as long as you want. Of course, the premise is that you are familiar enough with the desert of the Western Regions. At the very least, you need to know how to discern directions, know how to find water, and know how to avoid danger. If you are not familiar with the desert Gobi Desert, it is very likely that you will die because you are lost.

Rosalind and the others are from the Western Regions, and of course they are familiar with all this. And those who are fanatics, the ability to adapt to the harsh climate is also unmatched. That's why Rosalind made the decision to make a temporary diversion. Her main purpose is to avoid the interception of the mastiff cavalry. The number of mastiff cavalry is too large for them to cope with. And the base camp of the mastiff cavalry army is in the fork force loss. Therefore, they must stay away from fork force loss.

Divert to the northwest, climb over the Botuo Bald Mountain, cross the location of the large and small Yule Dusi, and go all the way to Yili Li, you can smoothly get rid of the control range of the fork force loss. Basically, as long as they can reach Yili smoothly, they will be able to get out of the control of the White Army. Rosalind estimated that the Mastiff Cavalry would not have pursued it that far.

Marsatini said bitterly: "It's a long way to get to Yili from here! ”

Rosalind looked at her expressionlessly and said bluntly: "Then are you willing to fall into the hands of Sawanna, or are you willing to go to Yili?" ”

This is certainly a choice that does not require a choice. Even when Martha Tini is asleep, she knows how to choose. Therefore, she hurriedly woke up twelve points of spirit, and reluctantly followed Rosalind on the road. Soon, their figures disappeared into the desert in the north of the fork.

…… Sure enough, Rosalind temporarily rerouted and bypassed the loss of fork force, and indeed bypassed the interception range of the mastiff cavalry. The mastiff cavalry, who had just arrived, could only cruise around the fork force and did not dare to leave the fork force too far. This gave Rosalind and the others room to escape. Three days later, they managed to get rid of the mastiff cavalry and enter the Botuo Bald Mountain. The mastiff cavalry team that caught up behind completely lost the trace of the target here.

After that, many more days passed, and Gao Jie never received any news about Rosalind and Marthadine. During this time, the Mastiff Cavalry did capture a lot of people, but as a result, they had nothing to do with Rosalind and Mathatini. After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Jie decided to withdraw all the pursuing teams. He couldn't let the presence of Rosalind and Marthaltini delay the mastiff's original mission.

In the barren desert of the Western Regions, it is indeed too difficult to search for the existence of two or three hundred people. The distance between the tracker and the target, a little farther away, it is easy to lose the target. Because, the strong wind in the Western Regions can easily blow a large amount of wind and sand, covering all the horseshoe prints. Therefore, the fugitives do not need to be specially processed for the horseshoe prints at all, and it only takes a few hours for all traces to be completely annihilated.

"Forget it, leave them alone, let's continue to expand!"

Gao Jie immediately arranged his troops to attack Tiemen Pass, Talbugul, Kuxian, Pengcheng, Asu and other places in the west. Immediately after the occupation of these areas, the development will continue with the area as the core. The surrounding tribes, large and small, will either attack or deter, and completely recover them.

At the beginning, there were still a very small number of tribes who were a little unimpressed by the arrival of the white-clothed army. Some tribes even deliberately provoked the combat effectiveness of the white-clothed army. As a result, after being severely taught by the white-clothed army a few times, he finally learned to be obedient. The ethnic minority tribes in Tiemen Pass, Talbugul, Kuxian and other places were successively subjugated by the mastiff cavalry.

By the beginning of July of the first year of Taichang, the white-clothed army had basically gained a firm foothold in the Turpan area. The Lion Cavalry from the Turpan region and the Mastiff Cavalry from the Fork Loss region have made contact. Subsequently, the main force of the lion cavalry, armed with Han-style rifles, continued to expand in all directions. By August, the white-clothed army successively took control of Yili Jiangli, Ali Mali and other places.

In Yili, the White Soldiers finally learned the accurate news of Rosalind and Marthatini. They successfully crossed the Yili and entered the realm of the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions. At this point, the white-clothed army had to temporarily give up the pursuit. For Rosalind's wit and tenacity, even Xu Xingxia, who is an enemy, has to secretly admire. This month, the queen of the other kingdom, is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and I really underestimated her before.

However, then news came that the pursuit team led by Sawanna directly crossed Yili and entered the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions. This news made Xu Xingxia feel a little surprised. He suddenly understood something, but he didn't seem to understand it very much. He wasn't prepared to figure it out, though. If that's the case, there's no point.

Zhang Tianhao said suspiciously: "Why did Sawanna chase after her?" Isn't it a joke that she took such a few people back to the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions? Her power in the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions has been cleansed, isn't it suicide to go back at this time? ”

Xu Xingxia smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

He already had some understanding of the purpose of Sawanna's actions. This woman, pursuing Rosalind and Marthatini is fake, going back to the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions and muddying the waters, this is her real purpose. With Sawana's ability, after returning to the Western Regions, she should be able to make a little movement. The white-clothed army squad she took away also had sufficient weapons and equipment, and if it was used unexpectedly, it could indeed have a good effect.

With the strength of a white army squad, it is impossible to make a big fight. However, in terms of assassinations, assassinations, and raids, it is completely like a fish in water! Especially when it comes to assassinations, there is simply no one to compare. Equipped with a Han rifle with a quadruple scope, it can easily shoot enemies from a distance of 300 meters. As long as you use it well, you can definitely turn it upside down.

To be honest, killing people three hundred meters away is the so-called true god, and he doesn't have such a powerful power! After assassinating several people who opposed Sawanna in a row, it would be strange for the people to find a way to get some rumors in Sawanna's favor. Besides, Rosalind and Marthaldinee, who were already frightened birds, would definitely be even more frightened.

Now that the pursuit was suspended, Zhang Nai had no choice but to return to Turpan City in a huff. He was greeted with fine wine, of course, and plenty of roast lamb shank. Turpan in July is the beginning of the harvest season, and all kinds of delicious grapes are ripening one after another. At this time, it is definitely the most palatable. Sadly, he tastes like chewing wax. No way, I didn't complete the task, it's too embarrassing, I don't have an appetite!

Fortunately, he soon received a new task, that is, to form a special force of 300 people, ready to enter the Three Kingdoms of the Western Regions to assist Sawana in the battle. In addition to assisting Sawana in the battle, she also had to find out the general situation of the three countries in the Western Regions, and make all preparations for the arrival of the large army of the White Army. At this moment, Zhang Nai's appetite came immediately.

…… Since July, the white-clothed army has been hoarding a large number of military supplies in the Turpan area. The guns and ammunition sent from the rear piled up. The Lion Cavalry and the Mastiff Cavalry have successively changed their equipment. A large number of Han-style rifles and grenades are all in place. At the same time, each corps was equipped with a mortar brigade, which was fully equipped with 125 mortars. Each squad is equipped with four doors. Ten soldiers were in charge of one mortar.

The reason why so many soldiers are needed is not that so many people are needed for mortars, but that so many people are needed for the transportation of mortar shells. If there aren't enough shells, mortars are just decorations. It is important to know that the livestock that transports the shells also need to be cared for. A long battle, taking care of an animal by one, is quite tiring.

By August, the integration of the Turpan cavalry was basically completed. About 3,000 warriors from the Western Regions officially became a member of the White Army. It is certainly impossible for them to form alone. They were all planted in the various units of the White Army. Basically, one to four people per group, four to twenty people per squad, twenty to one hundred people per squadron, and so on.

Their main purpose is to guide the attack of the White Army, instruct the White Army soldiers on how to adapt to the climate in the Western Regions, contact the locals, and obtain valuable information from the locals. Of course, instructing the soldiers of the White Clothes to learn the language of the Western Regions is also a very important business. At the very least, you should know the basic common phrases.

During this period, the grapes of Turpan ripen one after another, and the entire Turpan area began to become lively. Unlike usual, this summer, there are many new faces from the mainland who have arrived in the Turpan area. Those wine merchants from the mainland have been waiting in Turpan City for a long time. Ripe grapes are transported to the mainland as quickly as possible. A large amount of wine and raisins were also transported to the mainland.
