Chapter 583: Sand Thieves Attack
"Master Hou, there is a Gobi not far ahead, which can temporarily avoid sandstorms. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Huyanqiu is worthy of being a living map in the desert, he has been paying attention to the inconspicuous coordinates in the desert, and he is clear about the surrounding environment, and he will point out a clear path to the army at once.
When Ouyang Shuo heard this, his heart was relieved.
At this point, two hundred and fifty campaign resource points are not lost.
He immediately let Huyanqiu lead the way in front, and the army began to speed up, trying to find a foothold in the Gobi before the sandstorm hit.
The tail in the back also wants to keep up.
This time, Ouyang Shuo was not so easy to speak.
He put Shenwuwei in charge of the rear of the palace, and on the war horse, a wave of arrows came from behind as a warning.
This warning, the other party really didn't dare to approach, just arranged a few meticulous workers, staring from afar; As for the large troops, they followed slowly and leisurely, following behind.
In the eyes of the lords, there is no need to rush for a while. As long as you grasp the whereabouts of the army of Shanhai City, you are not afraid of getting lost in the desert.
How did they know that Ouyang Shuo was already using the sandstorm to dig a big pit for them.
Half an hour later, I saw the Gobi.
Ouyang Shuo ordered the whole army to dismount and pretend to rest on the spot.
In fact, the army was already in the shadows.
At this time, the desert sky suddenly became cloudy.
The terrifying sandstorm came as scheduled.
The desert, which was still calm just now, suddenly rolled up with dust and smoke. Farther away, a sandstorm that covered the sky swept in like a stormy wave.
The sky turned black in an instant.
Between the whole heaven and earth, only the sound of the howling wind remains.
It was only at this time that the Inhuman Legion following behind realized that the sandstorm was coming, and suddenly there was a ghost crying wolf. If you want to be like the army of Shanhai City, it is too late to take refuge in the Gobi.
Because in front of the Gobi Desert, 9,000 elite cavalry have long been ready for battle. Whenever there is an enemy army rushing towards them, they will face a rain of arrows.
At this moment, the Inhuman Legion immediately fell into a desperate situation.
Forward and backward, it's a dead end.
The furious sandstorm swept in at a speed that swept in.
In the desert, people suddenly turned on their backs.
The Inhuman Legion has finally seen the violent side of the desert.
Even the army of Shanhai City, which is backed by the Gobi, is struggling to support. If you don't pay attention, you will be swept away by a sandstorm. All of a sudden, it was also a person who turned on his back.
Ouyang Shuo was surrounded by a large army, and he couldn't open his eyes at all. Looking up, up and down, left and right, there are gray sandstorms, as if you are in the middle of the apocalypse.
From time to time, screams can be heard.
Every minute and every second feels so long.
In front of the great power of heaven and earth, the individual suddenly seems so small.
I don't know how long it took, but the rolling sandstorm finally swept over and disappeared into the distance.
Ouyang Shuo struggled to open his eyes, and his whole body was gray and full of sand.
And this is already lucky.
Farther away, the Inhuman Legion, which had unfortunately fallen into a sandstorm, had been swept to pieces.
Ouyang Shuo didn't have a trace of pity in his heart.
"Where are the generals?"
Ouyang Shuo lifted his breath and shouted.
"The last general!"
Wang Feng, Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong are listed one by one.
Before leaving, it had been agreed that Ouyang Shuo was the only commander of the whole army.
He was alone and commanded three armies.
Therefore, Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong, the two fierce generals, did not dare to slack off at this moment.
"Immediately reorganize the ranks and completely annihilate the enemy while they are scattered and unstable."
Ouyang Shuo drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed it forward.
"Obey the general's orders!"
The three generals were suddenly enthusiastic.
They just like this kind of crisp and clean fighting.
As for taking advantage of people's danger?
This is war, not child's play, but it is not a place to be polite and honest.
Leaning slightly, the army is already in formation.
"Kill!"
Under the leadership of the three generals, the army poured out.
Ouyang Shuo, under the escort of the personal guards, commanded in the center and did not attack.
For the Inhuman Legion, it's simply a disadvantage.
A sandstorm cost them more than half of their soldiers. Most of the soldiers, not dead, were scattered by the sandstorm and drowned under the dunes.
If the rescue is timely, a lot of remnants can be collected.
It's a pity that Ouyang Shuo didn't give them this opportunity.
The powerful army of Shanhai City directly rumbled and killed the generals.
For these lords, at this moment, it was as if the sky was about to fall!
Regret not being at the beginning!
They listened to the demagogy of Emperor Chen and others, and they deserved this evil result.
In this desert raid battle, there is not the slightest suspense. In less than two hours, the five or six Inhuman legions that followed behind the army of Shanhai City were almost completely annihilated.
Even the scattered enemies were pursued and beheaded under their horses.
In front of the desolate Gobi Desert, a lot of bones were left behind.
Gusts of wind and sand blew through, and the bones would soon be buried in the dunes.
A month later, who knew that there had been a big war here? Only the bones buried deep under the sand dunes silently tell this unknown history.
This is the desert, calm, furious, warm, and ruthless.
Which side is its truest side.
What made Ouyang Shuo's face strange was that during the battle, he actually saw that his campaign contribution value was rising rapidly. "Killing soldiers from the same camp also has a contribution value?"
Gaia, Gaia, it's really black!
In this battle, there is no camp at all!
As long as they are not in the same territory, they are all enemies.
In the end, there is only one winner.
Ouyang Shuo began to understand Gaia's intentions a little.
In this way, the battle between the lords is afraid that it will become more and more cruel. Even if you can't subdue Huo Qubing in the end, it is good to get some battle contribution points and earn meritorious deeds.
After the battle, because he was in a hurry, Ouyang Shuo basically did not clean up the battlefield and directly led his troops to set off. While the sun has not completely set, the army can go a little longer.
In the evening, it is the best time to march. At this time, the temperature is pleasant, neither hot nor cold. When it really comes to the night, you have to spend it in a tent.
Throwing off the tail, the army easily hit the road.
"The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river."
Looking at the orange sun, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but think of this poem that has been sung through the ages.
Was the poet Wang Wei at that time also in this mood?
Ouyang Shuo didn't know.
With the afterglow of the setting sun, swaying over the golden sand dunes. The army, which had marched for a day, chose a suitable location under the guidance of Huyanqiu and set up camp in the desert.
As soon as the army stopped, Hu Yanqiu took a team of men and horses out to fetch water.
The water bladders equipped with the cavalry can last for two days if they are saved.
During the day, the consumption of water is even more intense. Therefore, it is important to take advantage of the rest time to quickly replenish the water supply. Otherwise, tomorrow it will not be possible to march at all.
Ouyang Shuo couldn't imagine how they would have successfully found a water source in this vast desert if they hadn't recruited Hu Yanqiu.
Emperor Chen, I'm afraid it's the same, right?!
I just don't know if they have avoided the sandstorm during the day.
Ouyang Shuo thought maliciously.
ā¦ā¦
The next two days were calm.
Even the Inhuman Legion didn't see one. Ouyang Shuo estimated that after going deep into the desert, the surviving Inhuman Legion was afraid that they had all dispersed.
"Master Hou, in three days, you will be able to get out of the desert!"
After setting up camp, Hu Yanqiu reported the itinerary to Ouyang Shuo as usual.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work!" What he said was not polite, along the way, thanks to Huyanqiu's guidance, the army could march so smoothly.
Almost every day, Huyanqiu can successfully find a water source.
Tens of thousands of troops have never been cut off from the water.
I have to say, this is no small miracle.
In addition to drinking water, along the way, they also found the imprint left by the main force of the Han army.
This made Ouyang Shuo very excited.
As soon as he thought that Huo Qu's sick department was not far ahead, Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but feel hot in his heart.
Accidents always happen when you least expect them.
This night was undoubtedly another big test for the army of Shanhai City.
On the sand dunes in the distance of the camp, two figures suddenly appeared.
These two people were dressed in tatters, but they were sturdy and sturdy, and they were covered with their heads. Dressed in dusty clothes, in the desert, it is really difficult for people to notice.
They had been tracking the army of Shanhai City for more than a day.
"Big brother, looking at the other party's marching formation and camp layout, it doesn't look like an ordinary Han army." One of them said in a hoarse voice.
"It's not ordinary." The older one returned in a deep voice.
"So, why don't we leave?" The hoarse little brother was a little hesitant.
"Withdraw? I want to withdraw too. The eldest brother's words were indescribably bitter, "It's a pity that the village has run out of food, and if you don't do another vote, you will really have to drink the northwest wind." ā
"Wouldn't it be too risky?" The younger brother was still a little scared.
For these sand thieves, the Han army is an existence that cannot be easily touched. Once you stab the hornet's nest, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be killed by the Han army, and you will have a pot.
Therefore, not looting the official army has almost become an unspoken rule in the sand piracy circle.
Of course, there is an exception.
For example, when you are cornered.
During this time, the Han army frequently used troops against the Xiongnu, and the trade routes were cut off.
The life of the sand thieves is not easy.
In the final analysis, these robbers are also living a life of licking blood from the knife edge. If you really want them to not survive, that's crazy things, you can do it.
No, a group of sand thieves are eyeing the army of Shanhai City. What they are rare is the military ration pills carried by the cavalry. This magical "pill", after being noticed by the sand thieves, couldn't help but drool.
They didn't do it for a long time, and they were gathering reinforcements.
This time, the two strongest sand thieves in the desert want to join forces to make a big vote.
The two men on the sand dunes were only responsible for monitoring the outpost of the army.
The real big army, tens of thousands of sand thieves, is still behind them, secretly assembling.
The time for action is set for this evening.
