Brother Beggar refuses to beg

Until walking on the rugged and desolate mountain road, Yin Su didn't come back to his senses, he turned his head and looked behind him.The army wearing armor and holding cold weapons is like a long snake winding forward on the foothills, stretching endlessly.

The western region is vast and sparsely populated, and oases, large or small, are dotted on a large area of ​​the Gobi desert. There are some bare shrubs growing on the sandy soil of the desert, and it is hard to tell whether they are dead or alive.

The scenery here is the same, and sometimes you will feel that the scenery around you has not changed after walking for a whole day, as if you are standing still.

If it weren't for the approaching mountains in front of you, it would be an illusion that you were standing still.

The Northwest Camp is not completely stationed at Mingsha Pass, but in Shicheng behind Mingsha Pass.The army assembled and set off from Shicheng. After arriving at Mingsha Pass, they left the pass and went all the way to the northwest.

The two oases were established more than 30 years ago, and it was the grandfather of the Xie family who made the contribution.

Originally, the local area belonged to a small country named Ceylon in the Western Regions. Because of its weak national strength, it has been surviving in the cracks among the countries.The fertile land of these two oases is the Tang monk meat that everyone wants to compete for, and has been the target of plunder by various powerful countries all the year round.

After the death of the last royal family, the land was occupied by aliens, and the whole country fell into chaos.In the end, a wise man borrowed soldiers from the Dayuan Dynasty and handed over the territory, asking for a peaceful and prosperous life for the tribe.

The Dayuan Dynasty was known as the kingdom of heaven, and the dynasty came from all directions. Every generation of emperors was ambitious. If they could make further progress in the territory, wouldn't it be an added achievement in the history books.

Since the founding of the Dayuan Dynasty, there have been only a few large-scale wars in the Western Regions, and the recovery of Ceylon was the most recent one.Later, including the war that caused the emperor to suppress the Xie family and not invite them back more than ten years ago, it was not on such a large scale.

After the war, the Northwest Army, which drove away other powerful enemies, settled here and built new walls and fortifications.Many laborers were transferred to help farm the fields, gradually forming two important towns dominated by people from the Dayuan dynasty, and some soldiers eventually settled here.

Duan Lin evacuated all the residents from the two cities, but this time the emperor ordered them not to send them back, leaving only the garrison in the city.When the unstoppable enemy appeared and the smoke was ignited, the [-] vanguard troops who had been prepared for a long time set off from Mingsha Pass and rushed to the front line.

The grain and grass brought by Yin Su had to be handed over and counted, and he was not sure whether Xie Chen was inside or outside the pass, so he waited a little longer in the northwest camp to see if he could try his luck.

If Xie Chen was in the customs and learned that there was a war, he would probably go to the Northwest Camp to look for him or inquire about the situation.But he waited in the camp for three days, but no one came. Duan Lin led the vanguard and set off that day. After thinking about it, he decided to go outside the pass with the Chinese army.

This road is over mountains and ridges. The narrow mountain road is opened on the mountainside with a steep slope. There is no vegetation on the mountain. The exposed rocks have been weathered into sharp and jagged appearances. They could all be crushed.

Soldiers can't be crowded on the road, at most two people can go side by side, and the team is lined up in two rows and stretched very long.

Sometimes, what they walk is not even a road, but a dry river valley. If they wait until summer, water may flow down from the snow-capped mountains at any time to wash people away.

This route is the only way out of the customs. If you don't want to go here, you need to bypass this north-south mountain range to enter the Western Regions and Dayuan Dynasty.

To the north of the mountains is a no-man's land of frozen soil, the climate is extremely cold, and to the south there is a desert, which is not a good place to go. You have to go around a long way to see normal land and human settlements.

Yin Su led the horse and walked at the front of the team. The horse was Xie Chen's favorite horse Zhuifeng. When he saw it, he couldn't help thinking about others.War came as soon as it was said. Before this, Yin Su never felt that this kind of thing would have anything to do with him.

In modern times, it was a peaceful age when the country was rich and the people were strong. In ancient times, it was also hunting and doing business.The largest armed fight was nothing more than the capture of a boat of water bandits and the robbing of darts by a group of dead men.

Oh, by the way, there is also the incident of the imperial palace forcing the palace, the end is an understatement.Although Yin Su felt that the coup d'état ended too easily, and there might be some tricks in it, but he had experienced the largest and most exciting battle so far.

The real battlefield in front of me is about to explode, no, maybe the front line has already officially engaged in battle, and the fight is in full swing.

Yin Su, who has not regained his composure, walked along the river valley with the army. The huge temperature difference between day and night made the night wind chill, and the cold wind blew across his face like ice skates, which made him wake up a little bit.

After traveling for three consecutive days, they finally passed through the mountains and reached the border of the Western Regions.It is indeed the shortest way in and out.

The two cities left behind by the Kingdom of Ceylon, one is called Xiqiang and the other is called Ulug.

The city buildings are built with a mixture of sticky soil and leaves and stems of a kind of local vegetation.This kind of plant looks like a reed, but it is much shorter. When there is a little rain and snow in summer, it will grow in the depressions of Gobi.

Standing in front of the gate of Xiqiang City, Yin Su's eyes were greeted by a wall that was less than two people high. The light earthy buildings were far from being compared with the majestic city wall of Dayuan Dynasty, and even the houses inside were rare. Two storeys high.

The tallest building in the city looks like a tower on the city wall. There are no suitable building materials here, and many things cannot be built.Yin Su felt that his journey was from a first-tier city to a poor mountain village in a remote area.

However, the buildings in Xiqiang City are dusty and not high-grade, but the scenery is actually very beautiful.It's a pity that Yin Su didn't come at the right time. Most of the plants in the oasis are losing their leaves in this season, and it won't be long before they are all bare.

Ulug, where the battle line is still in front, has not yet advanced to Xiqiang. The alien races were harassed by a small group of people at first, and then the activities became more frequent.

Until the scouts sent out saw a large number of troops constantly gathering, the route approached Uruk and Xiqiang.

By the time Yin Su and the others arrived, the two sides had already clashed for several rounds twenty miles outside the Ulug oasis, and the battle line was constantly retreating, and they had already retreated into the oasis.

After arriving in Xiqiang, before Yin Su could go to find Duan Lin, the deputy general beside him came to greet him.

"Mr. Yin, my surname is Sun. He is General Duan's lieutenant general. The general is currently supervising the battle in Ulug. He specially ordered me to come and receive you."

Deputy Sun was nearly thirty years old, with regular features, a strong body without being overly stout, and looked very calm. He belonged to the kind of person who was brave and resourceful, not a reckless man who only knew how to kill.

"How is the battle going now?" Yin Su dismounted from his horse, took the reins and followed him into the city.

Vice-General Sun smiled, and didn't look too stressed: "After General Duan arrived with 3 vanguard troops, the front line did not advance any further. Now they are camping outside the city of Ulug, forming an alliance with our army inside the city. Confrontation."

Yin Su asked: "Which clan are they from, are they from the Xian slaves? How many troops are there?"

"Not only the Xuan slaves, but also other countries from the Western Regions have also come. Now the confrontation means that both sides are waiting for the main force to arrive." Vice-General Sun has been explained that there is no need to hide the general military situation from Yin Su, so it is very straightforward to say, "United The army claims to have 30 people, but it is currently estimated that less than [-] have arrived in Ulug.”

This time Yin Su set off with 15 Chinese troops, plus [-] forwards and [-] originally stationed, and the Northwest Army has a total of [-] troops in the two cities. It is no wonder that Vice General Sun is still free. welcome yourself.

Yin Su felt a little relieved, and then asked impatiently, "Is there any news about my wife?"

It was expected that Deputy General Sun would be asked this question, but his expression was still unnatural for a moment, and he smiled dryly and said, "There is no news yet."

When it came to Xie Chen's whereabouts and safety, Yin Su seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, changed his usually rough and nervous temperament, and keenly discovered this fleeting abnormality.

He stopped and didn't speak, just looked at Vice General Sun with a downcast face, and Zhui Feng, who was leading beside him, also stopped and waited obediently.

Being pressured by this person and horse at the same time, Deputy General Sun showed a hesitant look, and said with some embarrassment: "I have some news, but I can't be sure that it is Mr. Xie. Before I can find out, the general said that I don't need to tell you." , lest there be joy in vain.”

"Let's talk about it. I can tell the difference myself." Yin Su didn't show any urgency. He knew that at such a time, he couldn't lose his sense of control.

"Someone who fled to Urug said that he saw a young man with a falcon on the way to northern Xinjiang." General Sun hesitated for a moment, but still told the news.

Because he was worried about Xie Chen alone, Qing Xiao went with him, so this was an obvious sign of Xie Chen.But there are many eagles in the Western Regions, and most people can hardly tell the difference between eagles and falcons.

Yin Su frowned and asked, "You said it was from the people who escaped? Where did they escape from? What happened? It was also a war?"

General Sun knew everything, and replied: "This time, the Xiannu people marched all the way from northern Xinjiang to our side. Many small countries and cities they passed were either robbed by them, or they joined forces with them to participate in the plunder. Many People fled to southern Xinjiang to avoid the disaster of war."

The Western Regions are a sloping land on the map. The half in the northwest is called the Northern Frontier, and the half bordered by Dayuanchao in the southeast is called the Southern Frontier.

When the flames of war ignited, others fled to the southern border, but this person went retrograde to the northern border. Yin Su's eyes lit up, and he felt that this was most likely Xie Chen who was about to go deep into the enemy's camp.

I'm very sorry dears, it was agreed to update yesterday, but it was delayed due to a temporary accident.

Last night was a really frightening night. A thief broke into the house. After hearing the door open, he hid in the storage room downstairs, and then opened the door and ran away when someone went upstairs.Fortunately, there was no head-on confrontation at that time, otherwise I'm afraid it will be cold, and I'm afraid after thinking about it.

Later, I went out to look for the community monitoring, and found a stick, and the corridor monitoring was set aside, what the hell!
