"Stop it first!"
Liu Zheng shouted flatly.
An army of 150,000 people, with baggage troops, totaled 160,000 people. It is absolutely impossible to take it lightly at this time. Although the Yinzhou Army is well-trained and disciplined, if it is not handled properly and causes chaos in the military morale, it will be doomed.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Qin Changfeng was extremely anxious.
It turned out that at this time they were already in place, turning around three times!
The mark Jiang Xuan left on it just now is still engraved on a red willow tree nearby.
A whole hour was wasted!
The compass fails!
That Remat even cried: "Envoy of the Protector of the Country, there is a ghost, there must be a ghost! The ghost is causing trouble, it is a ghost!"
"shut up!"
Liu Zheng kicked him aside. It's not that he hates this guy, but at this time, you are shouting here about ghosts and ghosts. Do you want to disturb our military morale? What do those soldiers think!
"Listen to me, shut your mouth. After that, answer whatever I ask you. If you dare to say any more nonsense, your life will be in danger!"
Remaiti closed her mouth, but she was still so frightened that she burst into tears.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath.
There is only one reason why the compass fails: the magnetic field is wrong! This ghost city turns out to be so complicated!
No wonder Xie Xuan set this place up as the only way out to the east.
The only thing that can affect the magnetic field is the magnetic field. Moving charges will produce a magnetic field and affect the magnetic field. This is the mutual influence and superposition of magnetic fields. This is the Lorentz force in physics.
certainly.
It's too complicated to talk about this now.
To put it simply, the Gobi Desert before entering the ghost city must be the location of the mine! Although Liu Zheng didn't know what kind of mine it was, it might be a gold mine, a silver mine, a copper mine, a manganese mine, or a rare earth mine...
Anyway.
The complex geological structure here causes magnetic field disorder, a strong magnetic field environment, or sandstorms in the desert, which will cause the compass to fail.
And there are no major roads here.
In this case, one glance at the endless Gobi desert and there are naturally no markers. It is completely normal to get lost and turn back to where you were. If you get lost in a normal place, it is okay to walk in a straight line, but in the desert, you must not walk in a straight line! You won't be able to go out even if you are exhausted like that.
The first reason is that this sand is dead sand! This leads to a phenomenon. When a person walks, one foot is deeper and the other is shallower. The strength of the left leg and the right leg is unbalanced. This also leads to a phenomenon. You feel that you are walking in a straight line, but in fact , you will involuntarily go around in a circle.
The second reason is because sand is fluid, and the wind in the desert will give you an illusion.
The third reason is that the reference object is burned. In this case, the sun is also moving...it is also unrealistic to use the sun as a reference object.
"calm!"
"Go down with the order and rest on the spot. Don't say you're lost, just say you're about to enter the desert and make temporary repairs!"
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"yes!"
Qin Changfeng responded.
The whole army rested on the spot. Seeing the 150,000 troops, Liu Zheng was still in a stable mood. Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Qin Changfeng and Jiang Xuan: "Follow me and bring a thousand-man squad with you!"
Liu Zheng glanced around and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He suddenly had a premonition.
At this time, many people were staring at him somewhere.
Ghost army?
He sneered. With this little trick, he wanted to scare himself?
Liu Zheng ordered Qin Changfeng to take out an extra-long rope that he had prepared long ago. Then he looked around, pointed to a hill over there, and said: "Go towards the sand mountain, remember to walk on the windward side! Walk one mile, stop, and so on, everyone is connected with a rope!"
"yes!"
According to Liu Zheng's method, as expected, when people are walking, they will suddenly go astray, and then they will be reminded by someone behind them, the person in front will remind the person behind, and the person behind them will remind the person in front.
A thousand people...
A thousand ropes.
Although this method is relatively stupid, in Liu Zheng's opinion, this is the best way to maintain a straight line.
soon.
"My lord, please go out!"
Qin Changfeng came running excitedly on a camel.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly: "The whole army marches out!"
The hot girl on the ground was dumbfounded.
Is there any other way?
Isn't there really a ghost? He wanted to speak, but thinking of Liu Zheng's terrifying look just now, he trembled all over and did not dare to say another word.
but……
As the army finally walked out of this desert.
He still couldn't hold it back, his feet trembled, and he looked in horror at the distance of 500 meters in front of him. Over there, there were several piles of sand, rising one after another, like a city in the desert that had weathered the sand for a long time. At a glance, you can see some unknown corpses next to the sand and gravel. There are also a few huge black crows standing on the sand and gravel Gobi.
These crows stared at the Yinzhou Army here with their stern eyes, seemingly not afraid.
Crows, in the desert, are equivalent to overlords.
This adds a bit of fear to this ghost city.
"Ghost City, Ghost City! That's Ghost City!"
Everyone heard the sound and looked around.
At this time, the sun was approaching dusk.
As if to match the terrifying atmosphere, there were several vultures flying high in the sky.
Liu Zheng suddenly raised his head: "Changfeng!"
"exist!"
"Shoot those vultures down for me!"
Qin Changfeng responded, holding a bow and arrow.
With a whoosh, the arrow flew out and hit a vulture in the middle. With a scream, the vulture fell from the sky. The whole army cheered and their morale was boosted.
Liu Zheng ran over, grabbed the vulture, and said with a smile: "This thing is the scout of Dawan Kingdom!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
This was the first time they had heard of using vultures as scouts.
"It's getting late, let's go in."
Liu Zheng chuckled.
Remaiti went crazy: "Guardian of the Country, you must not come in, Protector of the Country! It is night, you must not come in, you must not come in!"
In broad daylight, no one dared to enter.
It's almost night, do you want to go in?
Liu Zheng laughed loudly: "Not only do we have to enter, we also have to camp in this ghost city and spend the night tonight, right brothers!"
The whole army laughed.
Remaiti's legs were weak.
These Longyan people are really not afraid of ghosts!
…
Look here again.
Loulan's 50,000-strong army is also on its way.
Reguli did not brag, she personally led the troops to the expedition. The beautiful military uniform on her graceful body gave her an unusual charm and unusual heroic appearance, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Queen Mother, haha, what do you think Qiuci's expression will be when he learns that our army is coming?"
"I'm sure I'll be scared to death. Maybe I'll open the door and surrender soon!"
The generals laughed.
One person sneered and said: "The protector of the country likes to make alarmist remarks. How can the Northern and Western Regions be unified? This Qiuci and Cheshi are feuding people."
The group laughed.
Reguli couldn't hear anyone saying bad things about Liu Zheng, and snorted coldly: "Don't be so overconfident. Qiuci is a powerful country with 80,000 soldiers. We are just feinting this time. Do you understand? Everything is subject to the orders of the Protector of the Country. We Just wait until you break into the Northern Western Region and pick up meat to eat!"
A general sneered and said: "Queen Mother, give me 30,000 soldiers, and I will definitely capture the city of Kucha!"
"Why are you feinting? Only that hypocritical Longyan man can feint. Since we Loulan men are here, we are going to fight!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience responded.
Reguli rolled her eyes.
These people are still so brainless.
Vigorous and high-spirited.
Loulan's 50,000-strong army was uniformly organized, and at first glance, it looked like it had strong combat effectiveness.
Who wants to.
These confident generals will probably want to cry next.
They were ambushed before they reached the gates of Kucha City.
The ambush location turned out to be a small village.
"kill!"
"rush!"
The Kucha army all over the mountains and plains suddenly appeared.
Reguli was shocked.
The eyes of the generals under her were as big as bells.
"Qiuci Army!"
"At least one hundred thousand!"
"Queen Mother, retreat, retreat immediately!"
Loulan's army, which had been so arrogant just now, immediately collapsed.
What about the promised raid on Kucha?
What if Qiuci doesn’t work as promised?
What about the promised troops approaching the city? As a result, a small village was ambushed. The Qiuci cavalry, riding the Dawan war horses, are extremely powerful.
"run!"
Reguli's expression changed.
Is there any hesitation at this time?
Looking at these tens of thousands of war horses, we know that the protector of the country, Mr. Liu, guessed it right!
This northern and western region...
Was it really unified by the Dawan Kingdom?
Otherwise, where did the Dawan horses of the Qiuci cavalry come from?
She was shocked, and without any nonsense, Reguli immediately gave the order to retreat. The group that had just uttered wild words came and were killed in an instant. Several people were a little late and died directly in Kucha.
The battle situation...
No, it should be said to be a massacre, the scene was quite tragic.
It was pretty much a massacre on one side.
In the end, the 50,000 Loulan Army who were dressed in very beautiful and colorful clothes were killed by the sudden appearance of the Kucha Army, and only 30,000 people escaped.
The morale of the army is weakened.
Fortunately, Reguli was smart enough and her eyes lit up: "My sons, don't be discouraged. We are just feinting. This means that there must have been progress on the side of the Protector. Let's go and join forces with the Protector!"
In this way, the morale of the military became more stable.
…
Long Yan Dynasty.
Northeastern border.
This is Jizhou closest to the Qiang people.
It is a barren land with hot summers and cold winters... and is frequently harassed by Qiang people.
at this time.
In the Jizhou Prefecture, people are still singing and dancing.
"Drink, dance for me, dance well!"
"Hahahaha good, beautiful!"
A fat guy with a lot of treasures was sitting in the middle, watching a group of beauties dancing, while a group of losers were fawning next to them.
"Your Highness, no, Your Majesty, yesterday I took in a new concubine, tsk tsk tsk, the taste is really beautiful. I will have someone send her over right away!"
A dogleg laughed.
The fat man clapped his hands and said: "Okay, okay, Xiao Zhang is sensible. I will leave the salt fortune of the prefecture to your family!"
The bitch was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Everyone looked at each other with ulterior motives.
This fat man.
He is the second biological son in his body today.
King of Song!
The famous second prince!
The notorious fool, the second prince, Xie Ping!
Because the emperor was displeased, he was exiled to Jizhou since he was a child. When he came here, the territory was also messed up by him. The people's livelihood was suffering and there were many complaints. In just a few years, he reduced the prefecture and county that once had a population of one million to nothing. There are only 200,000 people left, and this speed is extremely fast.
soon.
He was forgotten by the world.
It has been truly removed from the center of the struggle for power.
The beautiful concubine was sent over immediately. When she saw King Song, she deliberately refused to welcome him, with a shy look on her face: "Your Majesty, the slave family is not just a casual person..."
King Song drooled, picked him up, and ran to his bedroom, while chanting: "Gu is not a casual person, no, no..."
Everyone burst into laughter, leaving mocking and contemptuous looks in their eyes.
Who knows.
King Song, who had just returned to the room, threw the beautiful concubine in his hand on the bed. Xie Ping, who looked like Brother Pig just now, suddenly became cold and stern.
The concubine felt weak all over, thinking that King Song liked to play some fancy games, and suddenly she looked pitiful: "King Song, you hurt me when you fell..."
"Then go die and it won't hurt anymore, okay?"
King Song smiled faintly, walked over, and pinched his concubine's neck with his hands.
At first, the concubine thought she was playing a game, but in the end, she slowly became breathless and looked at King Song with frightened and desperate eyes...
A few kicks.
Then everything calmed down.
Die with your eyes open!
King Song was panting, sitting on the bed, his eyes flashed: "I want to assassinate Gu, I want to assassinate Gu, you are still too young, too young!"
He almost shouted.
"Where are the people?"
Behind him, a black shadow appeared and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the chieftain of the Qiang people, has promised that if your Highness helps him open the portal to the Central Plains, and one day a million troops will march south, this Longyan Court will belong to your Highness!"
Xie Ping trembled all over after hearing this and was very excited: "Okay! Report back to Chieftain, I, Jizhou, can avoid Qingzhou and go to the Central Plains, avoid King Wei, and he can do whatever he wants, hahahaha!"
"Your Highness, the chieftain is interested in recognizing Your Highness as his godson. What does Your Highness think?"
Xie Ping was furious when he heard this. How could he, the dignified Second Prince Long Yan, be regarded as the godson of a barbarian? Moreover, he is already in his twenties this year. I heard that the Qiang chieftain is only seventeen years old and has just ascended the throne this year!
The man continued: "The big chieftain is here to help you seize the throne, Your Highness..."
"Okay, I will report back to my adoptive father. If Gu ascends the throne, I am willing to give Yanyun sixteen states to the Qiang people!"
In the darkness, the man smiled coldly and disappeared.
