"Come on!"
"Full speed forward!"
Facing the cold northwest wind, the western expedition army marched silently in the vast Gobi desert and directly entered the earthy yellow Gobi desert from a piece of snow-white snow. Although it was like two Heaven and earth, the biting cold reminded everyone that it was indeed a steep early spring. Even with mohou hats and military coats, the soldiers of the whole army still felt the biting cold of the wind blowing into their clothes.
But this cold is not without benefits. Under the long journey of the soldiers, they won't sweat at all. Instead, they avoid the loss of water and save a little precious water.
"The whole army will rest for half an hour and drink water to replenish their strength!" with a drink, the whole army stopped slowly. This time Hou Junji was not stingy, but directly distributed canned meat to the soldiers of the whole army. However, the delicious canned meat in the past also lost its beauty when it was extremely thirsty.
Merton took a mouthful of canned meat, picked up the kettle beside him, took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and poured some into the manger of jueying shadow. He didn't know whether there was water on the way ahead. All the army tried their best to save water.
However, seeing the eager eyes of Ma Jue Ying on one side, Merton had to pour some for Jue Ying again, and then resolutely screwed on the lid of the kettle.
"Lord sacrifice, general Xin is coming!" Xue Rengui came to report.
Merton got up and saw Xin liao'er coming to the station of the fire monitor. He frowned. They had rarely met since the conflict between them.
"Mo Hou!" Xin liao'er dismounted.
"General sin!" Merton responded.
"According to the order of general Hou, the front is about to enter the desert. All the troops are ready!" Xin liao'er directly passed Hou Junji's order.
"Obey the general's order!" Morton said with a frozen face. He knew that the army was about to encounter the most difficult journey of the March, the desert road,
There are no plants, birds or animals in the desert, and there is no water supply. Moreover, the sand all over the ground makes it extremely difficult to March.
After giving the order, Xin liaoer immediately turned over and mounted his horse. When he left, he looked at the huge motorcade of the firearms supervisor with a meaningful face and said: "I've heard that mohou is best at speed. The four-wheel carriage was created by mohou. The four-wheel carriage in Chang'an Luoyang is the best in the world. Even the snowstorm can't stop mohou's journey. This time in the desert, I hope mohou can continue his miracle. Otherwise, once left alone, there will be only a dead end in this desert Jedi."
Merton said faintly, "then don't worry about general lausing."
Xin liao'er sneered and urged the horse to leave.
"He's such a villain!" Xue Rengui said angrily.
Merton waved and said, "it's not worth mentioning a clown."
Xue Rengui stopped. However, when he saw the looming yellow sand in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a chill. It was a desert all over the sky.
Xue Rengui has not never seen the desert. Last time, he followed Merton into the 800 mile Han sea to pursue Fu Yun. The desert is wider and larger, but last time, he made sufficient preparations, prepared enough water and rode alone.
The cavalry's speed was fast. Rao was so. Finally, he stabbed the horse and drank blood before he left the desert.
This time, the firearms prison is different from the past. The whole army has only a thousand people, but there are more than 200 large carriages. You know, the bigger the carriages are, the deeper the load is, and it is even more difficult to march in the desert.
Although other armies also have carriages, they are few in number, and most of them are loaded with military accounts, grain and grass, with sufficient manpower and horsepower. In contrast, there are too many luggage for the firearm supervisor.
However, there is no way. Whoever makes firearms monitor weapons is gunpowder. Naturally, it is not as convenient as ordinary soldiers' swords and guns. This is also the reason why Xin liaoer firmly believes that mojiazi will fall behind when marching in the desert.
Once we fall behind the army, the consequences are extremely serious, especially in the absence of water, which is a fatal crisis.
"Half an hour has come, let's go!" with the order, the army immediately dispatched. This time, all horsepower and manpower were concentrated on the baggage side, trying to make the baggage pass through the desert smoothly.
"Sure!" Xin liao'er watched the armies of the western expedition enter the desert one by one, but there was no firearm supervisor.
Soon the other armies noticed the lag of the firearm prison and frowned. The desert was not as normal. It was a Jedi without water and supplies. Once the western expedition army was dragged down by the firearm prison, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"General, the firearm supervisor didn't keep up!" Xin liao'er reported.
Hou Junji frowned and said firmly, "regardless of the firearm prison, March at full speed!"
Although the firearms prison is very important to the army, the 100000 army is more important. Hou Junji naturally doesn't care about the small matter of too much luggage in the firearms prison, let alone the deep contradiction between them.
The army moved forward silently, and the soft sand under its feet greatly reduced the marching speed. At this moment, the marching speed of the western expedition army was reduced to the lowest. However, everyone was trying to believe, because they all knew that they could find a way out of this fast sand place as soon as possible.
"Hoo!" Hou Junji rode on his horse and saw that although the speed of the army was very slow, he had long expected this situation. In addition, most of the military carriages used eight wheeled carriages, and they all had wide tires. Even in the desert, they would not fall into too deep. They could barely drive in the desert. Of course, the speed decreased greatly.
"How far behind is the firearm prison now!" Hou Junji asked in a deep voice. Although he didn't like Mozi, after all, the firearm prison is a sharp weapon to break Gaochang, and he can't sit back and watch the firearm prison be swallowed up by this desert.
However, Xin liao'er looked strange and said, "I inform the general that the firearms prison was 30 miles behind the army yesterday. Today, according to the report of the scout, it is less than five miles behind the army."
Five miles behind the army is not enough to call it backward. It can be said that it is not too much to keep up with the army.
Hou Junji raised his eyebrows and couldn't believe looking at Xin liao'er. Yesterday, the firearms prison was 30 Li behind the army, but today it caught up with 25 Li. In addition, the firearms prison was full of heavy luggage. It's strange that the Mo family should catch up with the army so quickly.
"Could it be that mojiazi abandoned his baggage and the light cavalry caught up with the army!" Xin liao'er guessed. In his opinion, only this possibility can explain how mojiazi can catch up with and surpass 20 miles in the desert.
Hou Junji suddenly turned around. Everyone knew that the baggage of the firearm prison was gunpowder. Once the gunpowder was lost, the price paid by the army to break Gaochang city would be too high.
"Go, I'll see!" Hou Junji waved his hand and took Xin liao'er straight to the last firearm prison of the army.
When they arrived at the firearms prison, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them. They saw that the firearms prison had caught up with the army and followed Niu JINDA's army. It was full, not only full, but also the dazzling more than 200 large carriages.
They were shocked. The firearm supervisor was full and followed the army. There was only one explanation. The firearm supervisor found a way to march in the desert.
