Puchanghai, also known as Lop Nur in later generations, once had a famous country called Loulan here.
To say it is famous does not mean how powerful Loulan is. On the contrary, it has been quite difficult since the founding of the country.
Located on the strategic route of the Silk Road, sandwiched between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, it was difficult not to feel sad. If any of these two families were unhappy, they could send some people over to chop off King Loulan's head.
But now, the Loulan people moved southwest to Muni City as early as the Han and Jin Dynasties, which is now near Ruoqiang, and became Shanshan people.
After that, Loulan City was once used as a garrison station for the Tang Dynasty. However, since the Tang Dynasty retreated to the Western Regions, Loulan City was completely abandoned.
Well! It seems inaccurate to say that it is completely abandoned. Although Loulan has become uninhabitable since the Yinma River (Kongque River) changed its course and the Puchang Sea level shrank. However, this is for a large population. It is actually not enough to feed a hundred people. Still no big problem.
Of course, Zhang Zhao didn't know this. This was what Wu Dal'er said. The envoys going to Khotan this time were headed by Jiedu Yamen Fan Running, Wu Dal'er and Yin Yuanzhu were their assistants, and the rest were Wu Dal'er and Wu Dal'er. Da'er's brother Wu Yuan'er was preparing to go to Gaochang as an envoy to the Gaochang Uighurs.
"Erlangjun! Erlangjun! Something is wrong!"
Fan Running was a short man with a black face. He was a merchant. Because he was familiar with Khotan and Zhongyun, he was given the false title of Jiedao Yamen by the Jiedu Yamen. He often served as a tester for the Guiyi Army to contact Khotan and other countries. He is a sexual envoy, and he also has some kinship with Fan Quan Fanshun, who is around Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao quickly stood up and ran in the direction of Fan Runing's shouting. They were resting beside a dying Populus euphratica forest. Fan Runing took a few people to Loulan City to explore. He was shouting so anxiously. Something must have happened. thing.
"Erlangjun! Those Canwei people are crazy. Before we even entered the city, arrows were shot from inside. Wu Yuan'er was shot to death by them!"
Before Fan Runing could reach Zhang Zhao, he howled loudly. Behind him, several Guiyi Army envoys who had gone with him ran over carrying a man on a blanket. The man still had a gun stuck in his chest. The tail feathers of the arrows kept shaking along with the body.
Dunzhu on the side quickly found an open space in the shade, and several people put Wu Yuan'er on the ground. His face was pale, his lips were withered, and there was a big blood stain on his chest. Zhang Zhao tore open the clothes on Wu Yuan'er's chest and felt a little bit in his heart. Got it.
This guy was wearing a piece of cowhide armor, and the arrow didn't penetrate very deep at all. He touched his neck and found that his pulse was quite weak.
Zhang Zhao opened the leather armor on Wu Yuan'er's body with a knife, put his head on it and listened carefully twice. His heart was still beating, but very weakly, and it seemed to be in danger of breaking after that.
He was in shock due to excessive blood loss. He was not dead, but if he continued to bleed, it might be possible.
"Take out the medicine to stop bleeding and try it on someone. Whether he can be saved or not depends on his life!"
After speaking, Zhang Zhao pressed Wu Yuan'er's chest with both hands and began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Wu Yuan'er's brother Wu Dal'er, who was in tears, began to look for medicine quickly.
one time! Twice! Three times! When Zhang Zhao began to sweat on his forehead, Wu Yuan'er finally groaned softly and his heart resumed beating.
"Quickly stop the bleeding. Once he regains consciousness, feed him some honey and warm water. Don't feed him too much!" Zhang Zhao ordered, wiping the cold sweat on his head.
"Wuda'er thanks Erlang Jun for his great kindness. Lang Jun is truly a god!" Wu Dal'er knelt down in front of Zhang Zhao with a pop. People around looked at Zhang Zhao with eyes full of awe.
Especially the few people who carried Wu Yuan'er back. Wu Yuan'er was obviously out of breath, but he was actually rescued by Erlang Jun. Isn't this the art of bringing the dead back to life?
"Don't thank me yet! Whether he can survive or not depends on himself!" Zhang Zhao was not modest when he said this. People who bleed heavily to the point of coma and shock must be sent to the hospital in time, even if defibrillation, blood transfusion and other means are available in later generations. In this era, there is no powerful method of replenishing blood, and Wu Yuan'er really has to rely on himself to support it.
"Lord! A large number of rangers appeared a mile away, and it seems they are coming for us!" Fanshun ran over before the sweat was dry.
Zhang Zhao followed his line of sight and saw Fan Quan, who was ambushing on the sand dunes in the distance, waving the red flag in his hand. This was a signal that a large number of cavalry were approaching!
"Bai Congxin! Bring You Yijun on horseback!
Yan Jin, Qiongre Duojin, and Yin Yaozi led Hanshan to form an armored formation!
Fanshun and Ma Yaozi held their bows to suppress the formation! "
Yan Jin is the deputy of Captain Yan. He has no name, but his ancestor Yan Chao was from Taiyuan, so Zhang Zhao simply gave him the name Yan Jin.
After forming an alliance through blood at Qixiaohu Village, Zhang Zhao further gained control over these people and divided his group of one hundred and eight generals into three parts.
Thirty skilled archers and horses formed the Youyi Army in light armor as a mobile force.
The remaining seventy people formed an infantry called Hanshandu, fighting in formation with long spears and large shields and five divine arm bows.
In the end, seven people including Fan Quan, Fan Shun, Ma Yaozi and Dunzhu formed the formation. They were more skilled in bow skills. In addition, they also held armor-breaking weapons such as axes and hammers. Zhang Zhao took them with him as Used by soldiers.
"Yo yo yo!" Zhang Zhao had just finished making arrangements when arrogant shouts came from the hill where Fan Quan was staying. At least forty or fifty cavalrymen rushed toward their Populus euphratica forest with large amounts of dust. .
"Silly beep!" Ma Yaozi curled his lips and said a sentence that he learned from Zhang Zhao's spoken language. However, this was usually what Zhang Zhao liked to use to tease him, and now Ma Yaozi learned and used it vividly.
"It seems like these people don't know how many of us there are? Mr. Erlang, just use them to establish your power!"
Although Ma Yaozi is stupid in life, his sense of smell is definitely very keen in battle.
This is in the desert. How can there be such a galloping horse? Horses are not machines. If they continue to gallop like this, the water will be lost very quickly. It comes quickly and returns slowly.
There is only one possibility for the opponent to be so confident. They mistook Fan Runing and others as merchants from Shazhou, and they were eager to follow them to grab a piece of them. They were afraid that someone else would get there first if they were too late.
"Boom!" Fan Quan on the sand dunes raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and a knight who was running at the front fell down in response.
This irritated the people below, and they divided five or six people into shooting randomly at Panquan on the sand dune, while a few others hurriedly dismounted and tried to climb up.
"Boom!" Fanquan shot another arrow. A knight who was climbing up covered his shoulders and screamed and fell down. The others did not stop but slowed down their horses and rushed towards the Poplar euphratica forest.
Zhang Zhaoqujia and Douluo didn't wear anything, so he rushed forward with Fanshun and others. At the same time, he waved to Yan Jin and Yin Yaozi.
The two knew what Zhang Zhao meant, and Yin Yaozi led fifty or sixty people to quietly hide deep in the Populus euphratica forest to avoid exposing their strength and scaring the other party away.
Bai Congxin took more than 20 riders and led the horses around quietly. There were so many people on the opposite side. If nothing else, even these dozens of horses were worth a lot of money!
