Chapter 0138 China
There are a lot of memorials in front of Chongzhen, but he, who has always regarded himself as diligence, has no intention of looking through it at all.
"I know everything. You go down. Don't say anything about it. Just keep staring over there and report anything in time." Chongzhen finally said, and a brocade guard in front of him stepped back out of the imperial study.
The emperor stood up and paced back and forth. Suddenly, he shook his head and laughed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Out of the window, there is another round of sunset, like burning clouds at the border of the Western Regions.
The army drums and looks back. Looking back, the towering city gate of the Jade Gate makes Zhuo extraordinary have a feeling of being away from home. This feeling is different from leaving home. It is the kind of feeling of losing the innate reliance and entering this unknown and lonely.
Of course, Zhuo Fan knew that he was not alone. Together with him, there were more than 2,000 dragon soldiers who had been tested in actual combat, and most importantly, small bells.
Thousands of miles, the further westward the small bell is, the more clingy it is, making people love it to the bone. As soon as there is a chance, Xiaoling will use her talking eyes or a small action that only Zhuo Fan can understand to hook Zhuo Fan into the car without any suspense.
The two of them, as the commander-in-chief of the army, did not arouse any disgust of others, because everyone knew that the further west they went, the closer the day of parting.
Out of Yumen Pass, in fact, there are still a large area of land that is still the border of Dahua. Hamiwei is a remote defense unit located thousands of miles away near the Gobi, with a force of about 10,000 people. However, because of the characteristics of the Ministry of Guard, it actually has about 5,000 combat effectiveness.
Outside the siege of Zhuo Fan and his entourage of the garrison's garrison, they entered the guard department with Zhou Tong and a flower. Hamiwei said that it was a military fortress, but in fact it was a small city. Except for the tight guard of the gate, there was nothing special. Entering the city of the Ministry of Health, there is a bustling market, which is said to be a military fortress, rather than a market scattered by merchants. The Ministry of Health mostly works for self-working, and this place is more difficult than Guannei. Naturally, the garrison here has to find ways to fill their stomachs. It's not surprising that Zhuo Fan understood this. The three of them directly found the Military Department of the Ministry of Health.
This unified army department also has its characteristics. It is said that the barracks is not so much a government. Later, I learned that this is actually a government, which is responsible for managing the daily affairs of the Acropolis.
The commander of the Ministry of Health is a general in his 40s. He heard that the two people in Guannei were busy receiving him. When he saw Zhuo Fan and others, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then, his eyes could no longer be separated from a flower.
Shaking his head helplessly, Zhuo Fan has seen a lot along the way. Few people can resist the lethality of a flower. However, his main purpose this time is to inquire about Hami. As Hamiwei, he should naturally be clear about this.
Both sides exchanged polite greetings, and the general's surname was Wang. He has been here for 20 years. No wonder he saw a flower lost half of his soul. However, Wang Shen knows nothing about Zhuo's extraordinary problems.
"Ha Mi? Er, we haven't heard from them for a long time." Wang Shen looked at a flower and wiped his saliva and said casually.
"No news? Well, isn't Hami's seven-star city a hundred miles to the west? Why is there no news?" Zhuo asked strangely.
"Oh? I didn't expect that General Zhuo was still very familiar with Hami State, hehe." General Wang Shen couldn't prevaricate, so he had to answer seriously, "Well, six months ago, our department went west according to the usual practice. I didn't expect to be attacked by unknown troops and suffered heavy losses. Since then, we will no longer patrol the west."
Zhuo Fan's heart moved and said strangely, "Army? Unknown army?"
"It's exactly, er, this, General Zhuo laughed. You may not know that our Ministry of Health can support itself. How can you be interested in fighting with others?"
"However, if your subordinates were hacked and killed, don't you seek justice for them?" Zhuo Fan said angrily.
"Well, fair, hehe, each of them has a pension, which is the money paid by our Ministry of Health."
"You..."
Without speculation, Zhuo Fan was a little angry. Since he didn't get any news from the Ministry of Health, he gave up.
Once again saw the decadence of the delinity of the Dahua army. Zhuo Fan, who was in a bad mood, went out of the city and took the army straight to the west. The Wang Shen general went to the gate and watched 2,000 Chinese cavalry roll west without even enter the city. He hummed coldly: "Young boy, you are even stuffed the teeth of the black wood sweat. No, Hami, hum, what a secret."
Zhuo Bofan naturally couldn't hear Wang Shen's slander, but he already felt that the trip was not so simple. He sent his daughter-in-law back to his hometown, met his mother-in-law and then looked at the situation. It was best to persuade his mother-in-law to marry the princess and take his daughter-in-law home happily.
Now it seems that this mother-in-law is really in trouble, and this trouble is naturally inseparable from the old enemy of Hami.
After half a day, the tightly guarded Dragon Army did not meet anyone. On the way to Qixing City, even the vendors did not see a single one. It was late, and the Dragon Army camped on the road between Seven Star City and Hamiwei.
After eating something, the little bell pulled Zhuo Fan to her side and felt the difference. She asked worriedly, "Is there any bad news?"
Zhuo Bufan said comfortingly, "It's nothing. I just heard that this area has not been very peaceful recently. It's okay. You still don't understand our Dragon Army. I promise that no matter what the problem is, I will solve it for you!"
The little bell stretched out his arms and hugged Zhuo Fan, snuggled on his chest, and muttered, "You are so good. The luckiest thing in my life is to accept your husband."
"Well, wife, how many times have I told you that I married you as a daughter-in-law, not you accepted me!" Zhuo Bofan scraped his little bell's delicate nose and said with a smile.
The little bell giggled and said, "No, it's just that I accept you. Hee hee, you will be my husband in this life!"
"No, it sounds like a concubine. It's awkward. Do you want to take more?" Zhuo Bufan's eyes widened.
"Yes, this can be considered, hee hee."
"Ah! ~, if you dare, I will eat you tonight!"
"Hee hee, who is afraid of whom, I don't know who eats whom."
"Wow~~"
For a moment, the temporary tent became hot. Far away, a flower cast a enviable look and got up and walked far away.
Near this western region, trees are very scarce, and the terrain and soil are very different from the Central Plains. The rolling gravel slopes show the power of sand without vegetation protection. A flower came out of the barracks and suddenly ran wildly. In an instant, it ran out a few miles away. It was estimated that it could not be heard in the barracks, and then there was a long roar, showing depression in his heart.
Running hard made a flower feel much better. I found a stone on a gravel slope and sat down. I could faintly see the torch of the barracks in the distance. There, Zhuo Fan was flirting with the little bell, and in this life, I may not be able to enjoy such sweetness as ordinary people.
Suddenly, a flower stood up, but immediately fell to the ground, and then stood up again and looked west.
The moon is bright and starry, and soon, some black objects move slowly in the moonlight in the distance. However, a flower with extraordinary eyesight has been seen. It is a fast-moving cavalry, a cavalry of unknown origin that goes straight to this side.
After thinking for a moment, a flower immediately ran away.
In a short time, there were some changes in the Shenlong Army camp, but it soon hid into the dark night. Even the torch of the camp was extinguished a lot, and even the appearance in the camp could not be seen clearly.
About half a column of incense, a rumble of horseshoe sounded, which sounded as if it was still far away. However, soon saw a large group of cavalry gushing out on the gravel slope next to the camp. These cavalry were all wrapped in horseshoes and obviously wanted to attack the barracks at night.
It can't be seen how many people and horses are, but this team of cavalry is resolute. As soon as they show their heads, they urge the horses to rush straight to the camp. Under the moonlight, the shining machete reflected the faint light and was extremely brave.
However, only the silence of the night with the sound of horses' hoofs was immediately broken, and a large row of fires flashed. In the thin white fog under the moonlight, the first team of cavalry fell to the ground and rolled up a large piece of gravel. The horse's rider broke his mouth like a sack thrown out vigorously and threw out a large area. The blood is dirty.
The subsequent cavalry shouted crazily, and the sneak attack turned into a strong attack, still rapid attack.
In the continuous sound of firelight, the attacking cavalry fell faster than they did. Some riders who were lucky enough not to be hit and fell struggled to get up, but they immediately fell down with a terrible blood mist and could no longer stand up.
The sound of the bull horn sounded in the distance, and then a large number of cavalry gushed out on both sides of the camp and waved machetes to cover it. However, tonight's bright moonlight made them nowhere to hide on the gravel slope reflecting the moonlight. Both sides of the camp opened like a flash of time, and the roar of death spread out in an instant. A large number of lives have been harvested.
The horn is ringing, the cavalry is still charging, and the camp of the Dragon Army has become a fire and smoke hedgehog. However, this is a terrible beast that can kill hundreds of steps away. In the high running, there was a bloody fog and the weak cavalry, and many of them didn't even have time to scream. One horse after another fell down, and one fierce cavalry wielding machete after another was torn and killed by the invisible terrible magic.
The periphery of the camp gradually turned into a bloody hell. Occasionally, a few lucky cavalrymen bowed their heads and rushed into the camp on the side of the horse, but as soon as they could raise their heads and were shot to death before they could wave the machete. In the camp, half of the troops were still in the back.
As if pouring a glass of water into the fire in vain, the cavalry charged at night only sent their lives as a sacrifice in vain. The cavalrymen who had just entered and exited the flesh and blood battlefield even had the illusion that they were not attacking the Dahua army at night, but fighting with three demons who had just climbed out of hell.
