Now that they had made a decision, the two of them ignored it and headed west.
In order to avoid possible spies, the team even went a little further north.
In the vast grassland, a mere two hundred horses are like a grain of sand. If you scatter it, it will be difficult to find it.
Have a safe journey.
The next afternoon, Gu Da's head hit a high point.
Holding the telescope, he looked around blankly.
The pasture is vast and boundless; as far as the eye can see, there is no one inhabited.
"He brewed it. Where are we now?" Gu Datou turned over and over with a frown and compared the wrinkled map of Xiliang in his hand.
However, knowledge is wasted with time, and he couldn't understand it at all.
"It's not like we broke into the Desert of No Return, right?"
"Impossible, we are still far away from the desert." Lu Youtian shook his head, "We might not be able to reach it even if we run continuously for a month at our speed."
He took the telescope and checked it, "We only walked for a day and a night. It is probably near the north of the Benlu tribe."
Gu Datou breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put away the map.
"That's good. Then let's run a hundred miles west and then kill the Xiliang people."
It's hundreds of miles, and with their varying horse speeds, if they set out after sunset, they would probably have to reach the early morning.
When he was ugly the next day, Gu Datou let out a low cry.
Through the telescope, there is a long fire dragon about fifteen miles south, slowly moving from west to east.
"The damn Xiliang people! They didn't sleep in the middle of the night and were still walking eastward. Do you really think our fortress is full of dead people?"
Lu Youtian ignored the gesture and took the telescope to observe carefully.
"It's all cattle, sheep and fodder, and there are a few Xiliang people watching on both sides. It seems that Shi Qianchang was right. What we encountered last night was not the Xiliang vanguard army that had been attacking us before."
As for who it is, they are just small soldiers and don't have much information in their hands, so Lu Youtian can't guess it.
Gu Datou raised the sledgehammer in his hand: "It doesn't matter who they are! Just do it!"
"Wait a minute." Lu Youtian frowned.
It is definitely necessary to do it, but it is a waste to just rush it.
They are a small team, very agile in both attack and maneuver. And with telescopes in their hands, they can easily find the Xiliang people and avoid their encirclement in advance.
If operated properly, such a team can become a sharp knife deep in the grassland and turn Xiliang's logistics upside down.
When Lu Youtian said this, Gu Datou's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Old Lu, you can do it." He thrust the telescope and map into Lu Youtian's hands without any hesitation, "From now on, we will do whatever you say."
Regardless of the size of the team, there can only be one voice. Although Gu Datou is straight-minded, he still knows it in his heart.
Lu Youtian moved the corners of his mouth, but did not say anything out loud, and finally took the telescope silently.
Whether the idea is feasible or not depends on the fact that the soldiers and mounts in the team have enough food and water.
He doesn't have to worry about food.
In addition to the densely packed live cattle and sheep, the logistics team in front of them also carried countless dried meats. In addition, bags of grain and grass could be seen everywhere.
It's just a little troublesome to find the water source.
Because wherever there is a water source, almost all Xiliang people have settled nearby.
Fortunately, this time the Xiliang royal court sent a large-scale army to the east. The small tribes were either forced to join the big tribes or left the whole family to escape the world.
If they search hard, they should be able to find the water source.
But no matter what, it’s business to take advantage of the dark night before us to catch the wave.
Just go ahead and do what you said. The two hundred people first trimmed for two quarters of an hour, then under the leadership of Gu Datou, they turned their horses and quietly headed south.
The original grassland fire also burned here. Although the grass below them has been generally restored, the shrubs are not enough to cover their figures.
However, the darkness in front of us made it difficult to see, and the sound of cattle and sheep covered up the slight sound of horse hooves. When the two hundred horsemen reached a place less than one mile away from the Xiliang people, they still did not notice it.
The team stopped.
If you get any closer, you will be discovered by various hounds with keen sense of smell.
At this time, the soldiers spread out to the left and right, forming a long line.
Everyone silently sorted out their things, mainly taking out kerosene, saltpeter and other fuels and placing them in convenient places.
After a while, everyone finished sorting things out, picked up their weapons in unison, and silently stared ahead.
Chirp!
A loud and sharp whistle sounded in time.
"kill!"
Drinking violently.
Bah!
More than two hundred horses roared loudly, carrying their owners like crazy and rushing towards the long logistics team below.
In the Xiliang team, Ximo was sitting on his horse, drowsy.
Five days ago, he suddenly received an order from the clan leader and immediately led people to escort grain and grass to the east.
"Clan leader," Ximo swallowed in disbelief at that time, "Now?"
They, Luoxi, are just a small tribe. The pastures and water sources they occupy are not good but not bad either. As long as there are no large-scale fires or the like, the whole tribe basically has no worries about food and clothing.
It can be said that except for the clan leader, almost no one has considered that one day they will go all the way east to attack the legendary and wealthy Central Plains Kingdom.
Besides, who doesn't know that a plague has broken out in Yancheng Fortress, and even the generals guarding the fortress are not immune to it. They don't have to stay far away, but now they have to get together.
This is the wolf god hanging himself, because he thinks his life is too long?
It's just that the royal court's decision was something that small tribes like them could not change or resist. Ximo finally said goodbye to his newlywed wife, took nearly a hundred Luoxi tribesmen and headed east with a group of grain, grass, cattle and sheep.
"kill!"
The roar from the north frightened Ximo.
Yun Chuiyu?
Where did Yun Chuiren come from?
He shook his dizzy head and subconsciously turned his head to ask for help.
One mile was not that far away. Before Ximo could react to what was happening, more than 200 men from the Eighth Battalion were already in front of him with murderous intent.
"Fuck what you brewed." Gu Datou roared angrily, and swept away with a heavy thump in his hand.
"Enemy attack!"
Under the flickering firelight, the Luoxi people in front finally saw Gu Datou's appearance clearly, and he screamed strangely: "Yun Chui Ren!"
Before the voice fell, Gu Datou's sledgehammer had already hit his head.
flutter!
There was a muffled sound.
The sledgehammer has no edge, but under brute force it is sharper than anything else.
The Luo Xi man in front of him had already tried his best to hold the weapon in his hand, but the mantis arm was used as a cart. In an instant, both the man and the horse were knocked to the ground by Gu Da's head, and they were no longer able to survive.
The strong smell of blood instantly spread everywhere.
Almost at the same time, screams rang out from everywhere in the long logistics team.
They are scheming and unintentional. On one side are the soldiers of the Rock Frontier who have experienced many battlefields and killed countless people, while on the other side they are just ordinary herdsmen attracted by the royal court. No one is an enemy in one round.
Wow~
The firelight flickered, and dozens of grain and grass trucks suddenly burst into flames.
BAA Baa baa……
Moo moo.
Animals are most afraid of fire. The cattle and sheep in the team have been walking for several days, and everyone is exhausted. But now they are collectively agitated, running around in all directions.
In the past, it was okay to have herdsmen to restrain us, but now we don't care about whips and shepherd dogs. The cattle and sheep are in a mess and running away like crazy.
