The vast Gobi is uninhabited, and the wind sweeps the salon into dust.

There are no grass, trees, birds and birds, and there are sandy and gravel beaches everywhere.

Now Jiang Hao's army has about 260 people, but their war horses are only 103, so the whole team can only walk slowly.

Jiang Hao sat on his horse, overlooking the boundless sea of sand, at this time Su Mu rode over and reported: "Soldier, the inventory is clear, the dry food is enough for all of us to eat for four days, the water is almost drunk just now, and the swords, guns and armor are only the ones that were snatched from the soldiers of the Taishou Mansion." ”

"There is an oasis ahead, you can replenish water, and four days of dry food is enough for us to walk back to the Duhu Mansion." Jiang Hao said.

Fortunately, they are all protectors, living in the desert all the year round, familiar with the environment here, the oasis in front of them is where they rested last night, there is a small river flowing through, it is a branch of the Peacock River, there is dense grass growing by the river, which can allow horses to drink water and graze, and it is a fixed rest point on the road to the Western Regions.

"But the military waiting, the capital protection mansion has been smashed, and there will be no supplies in the future, how will we live when we go back." Su Mu was worried about the taste.

"We have nearly 300 strong soldiers, can we still starve to death?" Jiang Hao said in a firm tone, if so many people are still hungry together, it can only be said that the Lord will be a waste.

However, Jiang Hao said that he was a strong soldier, which was really bragging, there were not enough war horses, weapons and armor were lacking, only a hundred of his subordinates were armed, and there were dozens of soldiers who were protected by the palace and those who surrendered, and now they are all bare-handed, so this can also be called a strong army?

However, Jiang Hao believes that there is everything if there are people.

When he finds a suitable opportunity, replenishes his horses, weapons, and armor, and reorganizes the team, he believes that he will build these guys into strong soldiers.

The team went all the way, the speed was not fast, the team of more than 200 people was drawn into a long line, the war horses walked with their heads down, the team did not carry a flag, followed by a group of guys wearing only underwear, anyone who saw it would think that this was a defeated team.

The sun was slanting to the west, and the sun was a little red when it hung on the horizon, but Jiang Hao knew that the sky in the Western Regions was long, and it should be about two hours before the sky was completely dark.

"All rest!"

After walking for more than forty miles, Jiang Hao could see that everyone was tired, so he called for a rest, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sand.

"Is there still water?" A soldier asked.

"No, I've drunk it all just now, and if I endure it, it is estimated that I will be able to reach the oasis in half an hour, and I will be full when I arrive at the oasis." Someone replied.

In the desert, water is of the essence.

Even the 36 countries in the Western Regions are all living around the edge of the desert, and the snow water left by the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Qilian Mountains and other mountain ranges nourishes the land and grasslands, which is why these countries have emerged.

However, these countries are also highly affected by the regional environment of the Western Regions.

In fact, in Jiang Hao's view, these so-called thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are more like some cities and towns scattered everywhere, some small countries only have a few hundred or thousands of people, and they dare to call themselves a country, and in the Western Regions, a country with tens of thousands of people is already a top power.

The ghost blowing lantern made the Jingjue Ancient City famous, but the real situation is that there are only more than 3,000 people in the Jingjue Country and 500 soldiers.

The most famous ancient country of Loulan before, because of a Loulan girl caused a sensation, speaking of Loulan in the Western Regions is also a big country, the Han book records that there are 14,000 people, 3,000 soldiers, Loulan is the eighth existence in the six countries of thirty miles.

At this time, the most powerful country in the Western Regions was Wusun State, with a population of about 600,000 and 100,000 soldiers, and it was a superpower among the countries of the Western Regions.

Just when Jiang Hao was thinking about the affairs of the Western Regions, a war horse suddenly galloped in the distance, the speed was fast, and a cloud of smoke and dust was raised behind him.

Jiang Hao's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that it was the scout he had sent out.

The scout came to Jiang Hao's approach, flew off his horse and came to Jiang Hao's approach, bowed his hand, and said a little nervously: "Jun Hou, I found a Hun team in the oasis in front. ”

Jiang Hao is cautious in doing things, as long as it is a march, he must act in accordance with the art of war, Sun Tzu's art of war: those who have dangers in the army, wells, reeds, mountains and forests, and Huihui will be cautious, and the place where the traitor is located.

So even if they were so downtrodden now, Jiang Hao also sent a few scouts to explore the way.

As soon as the others heard that there were Huns, they all immediately stood up.

At any time, the Huns were enemies to the Han Chinese.

"How many are there?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I observed from a distance, there was almost a team of people, about 50 people, who were drinking and eating food and setting up tents at the moment, and it seemed that they were preparing to spend the night in the oasis." Scout said.

"Have you been discovered?"

"No, I was far away, and when I found that there were people in the oasis, I immediately dismounted to investigate, but the other party didn't find out."

Jiang Hao's mind immediately thought about it.

Since Wang Mang implemented a policy of discriminating against foreigners, the external environment that was originally quite stable was all chaotic all at once, the 36 countries of the Western Regions were demoted, the 36 countries were suspicious of Wang Mang, and the Southern Xiongnu who had been attached to the Hetao area also rebelled, and the Northern Xiongnu saw the civil strife of the Han Dynasty, and once again raised troops to attack the Western Regions, harassing and plundering the border towns of the Han Dynasty, and for a time the smoke rose again.

It is not surprising that there are Huns in the Western Regions.

In addition, the people of the Western Regions are ambitious and want to unify the Western Regions, and they have begun to fight themselves, and the Western Regions are also constantly fighting.

The current Western Regions can be said to be a mess.

But at this time, there are still people within the Han people who play a game of power, Dunhuang Taishou played Chen Da to death, this can be regarded as cutting off his arm in the Western Regions.

From then on, the Yumen Pass and the Yangguan Pass were closed, and the contact with the Western Regions was severed, so that Wang Mang might feel safer.

What should I do if I encounter the Huns in the Western Regions?

Didn't say it,

Just one word,

Kill!

Jiang Hao's gaze swept over the six teams under his command and asked, "What do you think we should do?" ”

"Everything is subject to the orders of the army." The six shouted together.

Jiang Hao stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then order all the soldiers who can fight, and kill them by surprise!" ”

"No!"

The six of them responded in unison.

Jiang Hao has a lot of people now, but there are only 100 people who can fight, Jiang Hao ordered Pang Xiong, Niu Kaishan, Du Bin, Corgi four people into four teams, each leading 25 people.

Su Mu and Cheng Yong followed behind with the footmen.

Jiang Hao and they were less than 10 miles away from the oasis at this time, a team of people quickly rode to the vicinity, and when marching, Jiang Hao sent more scouts to investigate, just like that, Jiang Hao quietly came to a place only a few hundred meters away from the oasis and hid behind a sand dune.

Take two people to run up to the sand dunes and lie on the dunes to observe the situation in the distance.

I saw that more than a dozen tents had been set up by the river, some people had gathered their war horses together to drink water and graze, and some people had set up a fire and were boiling mare's milk, looking very idle.

Jiang Hao waved his hand to Pang Xiong and Niu Kaishan beside him, and the two followed Jiang Hao to quietly slide down the sand dune, lying on the shade of the dune, Niu Kaishan lowered his voice and asked, "Wait, what should we do?" ”

"We're like this, I'll take the two teams of Doberman and Corgi to kill from the left, you and Pang Xiong from the right, let's take it by surprise and attack on both sides!"

Jiang Hao stretched out his hand and gestured in the air.

"No problem, Waiter." Pang Xiong said.

The three of them descended from the sand dunes, and Jiang Hao immediately ordered, "Brothers, prepare for war." ”

The others were silent, but they all clenched their swords tightly.

Jiang Hao rode on the horse, held the bow and arrow in his hand, clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse began to run, "Brothers, kill!" ”
