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 slightly 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 binoculars, 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 only lasts for a long time, and he couldn't understand it at all.
"It's not like we've strayed into the Desert of No Return."
"It's impossible. We're still far away from the desert." Lu Youtian shook his head, "We might not be able to reach it even if we run at our speed for a month."
He took the telescope and checked it, "We only walked for a day and a night. It is probably near the north of the Bendeer 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 uneven horse speeds, if they set out after sunset, they would probably end up in 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.
You definitely have to do it, but just rushing in like this is a waste.
They are a small team, very agile in both attack and maneuver. And with a telescope in hand, he 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."
No matter how big or small a team is, there can only be one voice. Although Gu Datou is straight-headed, he still knows it in his heart.
Lu Youtian moved the corners of his mouth, but did not say anything loudly. Finally, he silently took the telescope.
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 matter of finding 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 its troops eastwards on a large scale. The small tribes were either forced to join the big tribes or they left the whole tribe to hide from the world.
If they search hard, they should be able to find a source of water.
But no matter what, it is business to take advantage of the dark night in front of us to grab the wave first.
Just go ahead and do it. The two hundred people repaired for two quarters of an hour before turning their horses' heads and heading south quietly under the leadership of Gu Datou.
The original prairie fire also burned here. Although the grass above their feet has generally been restored, the shrubs are not enough to cover their figures.
However, the darkness in front of me was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and the sounds of cattle and sheep covered up the slight sound of horse hooves. When the two hundred riders reached a place less than one mile away from the Xiliang people, the other party still didn't notice.
The procession 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 belongings, mainly taking out fuels such as kerosene, saltpeter, etc. 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!"
He drank violently and shook the sky.
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, were just a small tribe. The pastures and water sources they occupied were not good but not bad either. As long as there is no large-scale fire or the like, the whole family will basically have 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 there is an epidemic in Yanjie Fortress now, and even the generals who defend the fortress are not immune to it. It's okay if they don't stay far away, but now they want to get closer.
Is this the Wolf God hanging himself? Does he think his life is too long?
It's just that the royal court's decision cannot be changed or resisted by small tribes like them. Ximo finally said goodbye to his newlywed wife, took nearly a hundred Luoxi people with him, and headed east with a batch 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 inquire.
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 the heavy hammer 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 welcome the weapon in his hand, but it was just that the mantis' arm was used as a chariot. In an instant, both the man and the horse were knocked to the ground by Gu Da's head, and no longer survived.
The strong smell of blood instantly spread everywhere.
Almost at the same time, screams rang out from everywhere in the long logistics team.
Scheming and unintentional. On one side were the soldiers of the Rock Frontier who had experienced many battlefields and killed countless people, while on the other side they were just ordinary herdsmen attracted by the royal court. None of them were enemies 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 had been walking for several days, and everyone was exhausted. At this time, the group became agitated and ran around in all directions.
It was fine before the herdsmen restrained 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.
