Chapter 564 The gap is too big

When the moon was up, the desert was full of black human heads.

This made Xiao Yuhua feel that the sand thieves and horse thieves in the entire Dahai Road had come.

Thinking about it, since the giant caravan led by Yunchu entered the sea road, the sand bandits and horse thieves who rely on looting for a living have already known.

It's just that the caravans wore ordinary leather armor or civilian clothes when they entered the sea road, which made the sand thieves and horse thieves misjudge the strength of this team.

The error is very large, it is simply the difference between heaven and earth.

There is almost no need to compare the combat power of a warrior with armor and a warrior without armor.

Even the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were unable to fully equip themselves with iron armor, but Yunchu's team did it.

In fact, being a general is not that difficult.

When commanding a hundred pawns, Yun Chu was always the one at the forefront.

When commanding [-] infantry, Yun Chu would usually be at the rear.

When commanding [-] infantry, Yunchu was at the center of the deployment. Wherever the attack did not go well, he would lead the troops to rush there, and wherever there was a sign of a breakthrough, he would go all out to smash the gap.

Now, Yunchu is in the center of the army formation, with Zhong Kui in front and Zhang Donghai behind.

Yunchu put away his horses, picked up his bow and arrows, and stood with the archers.

When the Tang army is fully armored, it is difficult to distinguish who is the general and who is the soldier.

When fighting at night, bows and arrows are the first. When Zhong Kui's rockets soared into the sky, the archers on Yunchu's side had already set up their bows and shot arrows. When the rockets landed, a large rain of arrows poured down. Down.

There were screams one after another on the other side of the dune, and then the sand robbers who had been suppressed for a long time yelled and attacked the dune.

In the sand, the effects of gunpowder bombs and kerosene bombs would be obliterated by the sand, so Zhong Kui didn't use these things, but drew the bow and shot arrows leisurely, shooting the feathered arrows at the figure in the darkness.

Climbing the sand dunes is a very painful thing. Often you climb up one step, and then go down two steps, even though these sand thieves are natives living in the desert, they climbed the sand dunes to climb the sand dunes with the Tang people It's the same fate.

Therefore, the people standing at the front were not in a hurry, and followed Zhong Kui to shoot arrows at the shadow without any haste.

This time Xiao Yuhua didn't attack rashly, and followed Zhong Kui to draw the bow and shoot arrows. According to his opinion, when the moon sets, the people here should be almost dead.

And among this group of bow and arrow shooters, Avanti was the bravest. Not only did he draw the bow and shoot arrows, but he also kept yelling to scare the enemy.

The enemies in the desert finally fled rolling and crawling.

They didn't attack until dawn, didn't consume Tang Jun's strength, and didn't support until the horse thieves came from the Gobi.

At this point in the war, the tactics of the sand robbers and horse thieves are already clear at a glance. First, the sand robbers took advantage of the night to launch a group attack on the Tang people. It would be best to kill the sweet water well and cause certain casualties to the Tang people.

When there is light in the sky, the horse thieves on the Gobi will charge over on horseback, break through the defense of the Tang people, and then the sand robbers and the horse thieves will swallow this giant caravan together.

This was their plan. Before Xiao Yuhua and Afanti tortured the captured and injured Sand Pirates, Yunchu and the others had already understood the superficial plan made by those people.

The whole army was groomed, sitting cross-legged on their own blankets, quietly waiting for the sunrise in the east.

When a streak of purple appeared in the sky, Liang Ying got up and stood beside the horse that had rested all night, took out a handful of soybeans from his pocket and fed it to the horse.

The rough mouth of the war horse was constantly rubbing against his palms, which made his palms itch. After a black line appeared on the Gobi, he roared loudly: "The enemy is attacking. It is the east."

Immediately he got on his horse, and more than half of the regular cavalry in the [-] army joined him in the same action.

The armor of the Wannian County soldiers was all black, so after Liang Ying got on the horse, the cavalry under the red helmet was like a lump of black iron. I didn't worry much about these people anymore. Judging from the battle, Liang Ying, the leader of this army, became the most nervous one... The red tassel on his horse's head was trembling slightly.

Of course, the most embarrassing ones were not Liang Ying, but Xiao Yuhua and Avanti. Xiao Yuhua was wearing a leather jacket and looked like a Huihe horse thief. As for Avanti, it was even more embarrassing. He was riding a donkey.

But it was Xiao Yuhua and Afanti who looked like this, but they were praised by Zhong Kui.

The horse thieves that emerged from the horizon of the Gobi stopped their horses a hundred feet away and circled around the Gobi in a mess.

Seeing that the opponent's formation was somewhat chaotic, Liang Ying shouted in a trembling voice: "Attack!"

As soon as the words fell, the war horse under his crotch shot out, and rushed to the horse thief first.

Rourou rode to Yunchu's side and said, "Why didn't you hide? So that those people didn't rush up, gunpowder, bows and arrows were useless."

Yun Chu looked at Wen Rou and said: "As long as the cavalry starts to charge, they must go forward bravely, give up halfway, and wait to be chased and killed by their opponents.

Liang Ying deserved to be the queen, and the timing was good. "

Zhong Kui looked at the cavalry team that had already attacked, and said to Yunchu, "They are now even tougher than those on the Liaodong battlefield."

Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "Warriors are all bred by victory. As long as they feel that they are invincible, then it is really possible to become invincible."

Zhong Kui laughed when he heard Yun Chu's words, but his smile was full of pride.

Naha stood on the shaft of the carriage laughing happily, the main reason was that Avanti was left far behind by the cavalry, and desperately urged the donkey with the whip, which was too ridiculous.

"Having a subordinate like Afanti who is unwilling to leave Xiao Yuhua's life and death, it shows that Xiao Yuhua is not a failure in life.

At least one person is willing to accompany life and death. "

At this time, Avanti showed the gentleness of the person who likes to joke the most on weekdays. He didn't smile unexpectedly, and his eyes were full of admiration for Avanti.

Yun Chu said with a smile: "You are a nobleman and the head of the family. Of course you appreciate the servants who follow their masters forever. Don't you think this kind of appreciation is a little perverted?"

Wenrou said decisively: "Don't be abnormal, wait for Afanti to come back later, he should be rewarded."

Zhang Donghai came back after chasing the Sand Pirates, empty-handed, judging by his proud appearance, the result should be very good.

"The last general chased out two sand dunes, destroyed the water bladders they piled up in the sand nest, and returned."

Yun Chu smiled and nodded to express his approval. Tianshui Well is the only source of drinking water within a radius of [-] miles.

Now, their water sacs were destroyed, no matter how far those sand robbers ran at this time and wanted to live, they would still come to Tianshui Well in the end. Zhang Donghai's actions were very vicious.

It is very in line with Yunchu's idea of ​​annihilating the sand bandits in this area.

Now, all the bandits entrenched in Tianshuijing are dead. Once the powerful sand bandits in the surrounding area are also beheaded, then the business shortcut of the sea road can be safe for at least five or six years.

Unless there is a complete change in the living environment of the people in the Western Regions, the robbers, sand thieves, and horse thieves in the Western Regions cannot be killed cleanly.

In Yunchu's opinion, the living environment of the people in the Western Regions will not change significantly within a few decades, unless Datang makes up his mind to start a thorough purge of the Western Regions and bring this place under the management of the Tang Dynasty. With a changeable, suspicious, and bloodthirsty character, it is impossible to get real peace.

The biggest thing in the Tang Dynasty at present is the relocation of the capital. Li Zhi and Wu Mei want to move all the civil and military officials and most of the government offices to Luoyang, the capital of God, which will cost a lot of money and materials.

At this moment, there is absolutely no interest in tilting Datang's resources to the Western Regions. Even if the couple agreed, they would not be able to pass the test of civil and military officials.

The Western Regions is the land of detention, where the Tang Dynasty draws blood. As long as there is blood to be drawn here, they will continue to draw blood. Even if the Western Regions are drawn to death, they will not show any mercy.

After Liang Ying's cavalry had a short confrontation with the horse thieves, they officially started their massacre journey.

The quality of the horses ridden by the horse thieves is far inferior to that of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and the personal quality of the horse thieves is also far inferior to that of the soldiers of the Datang government.

In addition, the soles of the horses of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were bound with horseshoes. On the Gobi full of rubble, those horse thieves could not escape from their palms.

"Boom, boom, boom".In the distance came the sound of sparse thunderbolts exploding. It was the Datang cavalry who were using thunderbolts to blast apart the gathered cavalry.

At this time, the more scattered the local cavalry, the more powerless they would be to face the hordes of Tang cavalry.

The army is still fighting, and the generals have no room to go back to the camp to rest. The Huotou army has already started cooking.

The thieves in the army also began to pack their bags. As long as Liang Ying wiped out the horse thieves, they would escort the captured horse thieves straight to the horse thieves' lair and bring back the spoils belonging to the caravan.

These people knew that the only reason they were able to come was because of the magistrate, who was going to let them do some dirty work.

Therefore, they are very conscious.

Sanshanmu of Darobitou Town rubbed his hands and came carefully to Yunchu and saluted, "Master County, we don't have enough manpower."

Yun Chu said indifferently: "Find a way for yourself."

Zhen Sanshan hurriedly said: "I beg the county lord to allow me and others to catch some live animals."

Live animals are not cattle, horses and camels. In the Western Regions, they refer to captive slaves.

Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "We raise our own food."

Zhen Sanshan said with a smile: "It's natural, it's natural, the humble will never use our food to feed animals."

Yun Chu frowned and said, "Forget about the name Live Animal in the future, and change it to something less insulting."

Zhen Sanshan chuckled and said, "Then there are only two words of labor."

Zhong Kui said on the side: "Don't take things too far, we are Tang people after all, we are human beings, not beasts."

Zhen Sanshan hurriedly said: "What the general said is true."

Zhong Kui said again: "I won't stop you from getting rich. Don't do anything that hurts nature and reason. Otherwise, there will be no good fruit to eat after he falls into the eighteenth level of hell."

Zhen Sanshan naturally nodded again and again. Now, Zhong Kui created an eighteen-story hell in Zhongnan Mountain, which has spread among the army. In addition, the incident of killing ghosts happened in front of him a few days ago, so Zhen Sanshan couldn't help but Those who have ghosts in their hearts are secretly frightened.
