Chapter 2046

The movement of the army was so great that it could not be kept secret all the way, so Zhu gaoxu sent orders along the roadside wall to strictly close the pass.

In fact, after the arrival of winter, all passes, except scouts, were no longer allowed to go in and out.

However, there are policies at the top and Countermeasures at the bottom. At Fang Xing's suggestion, Zhu gaoxu's threat is very bloody.

——If you dare to let people out of the customs, the whole family will be killed!

Snowflakes floated in the air and fell on the ground and soon melted.

"Speed up!"

The brigade of cavalry gradually accelerated against the snowflakes, and the baggage carts and artillery carts behind followed.

Zhu gaoxu wiped his face and said, "we must raid Yili before the snow melts!"

A long journey, especially changing horses, is a torment for most people.

……

In spring, Hami at the foot of Tianshan Mountain is still covered with heavy snow.

Hami City is only an earth city. It was broken down during King Khaled's eastern expedition, and the original loyal King disappeared.

After Daming defeated King Haley, because of Zhu Di's sudden death, Zhu gaochi, who took over, died before he could redeploy Hami strategy.

So now Hami Wei is a place of chaos. All forces, big and small, began to compete with each other in the vacuum period.

The woods were covered with a thick layer of snow, the snow covered the earth, and a winding place in the middle was steaming.

It's snowy, and animal traces can be seen from time to time.

A horse's hoof stepped heavily on the snow, and the land moistened by the snow rebounded slightly. It was accumulating strength, and the tender grass ready to break through the soil was pressed down.

Fang Wu took a look at the Earth City in front of him, turned back and said, "go and tell your highness that Hami City is ahead."

The scouts immediately turned around and trudged hard in the snow.

After walking back for less than five miles, a long black line appeared in front.

The scouts quickened their speed, and there were two riders on the opposite side. After the two sides met, they went to the Chinese army.

All the way, people and horses were exhausted.

Seeing the scouts, Zhu gaoxu asked impatiently, "but we are in Hami City? How about there?"

"Your Highness, there is no defense in Hami."

Zhu gaoxu said with a grim smile, "those horse thieves we met along the way are behind us. Kill them!"

……

The murderous Zhu gaoxu saw Hami City and the panic people at the head of the city.

He took a look with a telescope and said discouraged, "go to town!"

Hami City, with only two gates, is like an innocent girl, opening her arms to meet the army from Daming.

After entering the city gate and seeing more than ten people kneeling on the side, Fang woke up and said, "take two heads to ask questions."

The rudeness of the city was beyond everyone's expectation. Zhu gaoxu looked at the earth houses and scolded, "what shit place! Camp!"

The herdsmen stood timidly outside the earth house. The men wearing knives knelt on the ground and dared not lift their heads.

In the largest earthen house, Fang Xing frowned at the mess in the house and said, "ask someone to find wood and make tables and chairs."

His men took orders. Someone had already hung the map on the wall. Zhu gaoxu walked over and looked at it carefully.

Two men were brought in. They knelt on the ground trembling.

"Where are the officials of Daming?"

Fang Xing asked, sitting in a broken chair.

Someone was making a fire. A lot of smoke came out of the dry wood and was blown in by the wind.

The interpreter shouted, and one of the men looked up and said a lot in panic.

"Uncle, when King Hari broke Hami, one of the original two Jishan died and the other evacuated."

"Where are the dead bodies? Where are the evacuees?"

The herdsmen and the so-called soldiers in the city are only more than 500 people. These two so-called leaders have been frightened.

Although I don't know Fang Xing's identity, he may lead more than 10000 people. At least he must be an earl?

"Uncle, those who died in the war can't be found..."

"What about the rest?"

At this time, Wang he came in. He glanced at the two of the rules and said, "the one who evacuated was called Lin Chu. At the beginning, when HA lie's army pressed the border, he was not in the city, so he was able to escape, but later he didn't go back..."

At this time, the interpreter said excitedly, "uncle, they said they saw Lin Chu outside the city last month, but the city didn't let them in at that time, so Lin Chu took some Han people away."

Fang xinghuoran got up and went out, shouting, "a thousand people, ten teams, take the locals and set out immediately to find Lin Chu!"

A cavalry was assembled immediately after the military order.

In the wind and snow, more than 1000 cavalry were divided into ten teams and began to eat dry food.

There was a dead silence in the city, and only Fang Xing's roar echoed.

"It's a shame! Find them! Find them! Bring their bones back when they die!"

The strong wind and snowflakes were flying. The cavalry agreed and rushed out of Hami City in a murderous manner.

"It's a shame!"

Zhu gaoxu came out and said disapprovingly, "there are no undead people in the war. You care too much."

Fang Xing's face turned blue. He said angrily, "I didn't even enter the city. Think how desperate Lin Chu was with those Daming people at that time? Now I finally know why he didn't go back..."

Zhu gaoxu is a fighting Han. In his opinion, the so-called death toll is mostly a number.

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "this is Daming's dereliction of duty, the emperor's dereliction of duty, our dereliction of duty! Come on!"

Watching Fang Xing rush out of Hami City with a team of cavalry and servants, Zhu gaoxu said helplessly: "how can this man say that wind is fire..."

……

In an open space in the dense forest, wooden houses are connected one by one. The smoke of fire is accumulated in the forest, but no one can be seen outside.

A dirty and broken leather jacket, hair and beard stuck together continuously, and his face was blackened by firewood.

From time to time, the fire in front of him burst sparks and explosions because the wood was not dry, but Lin Chu's eyes didn't move.

There were no stools, no tables, and there was only one pot in the room.

The door was pushed open. Several women came in, numbly put the pot on the fire, and then added water.

When the water boiled, a piece of dried meat was thrown in, followed by several unknown and black things.

There was something in the soup. A woman said, "Sir, there is no food."

Lin Chu's eyes moved and said, "it will be fine. Spring is coming. Those animals can't help but come out to look for food and tell them to prepare for hunting."

"My Lord, those people are very fierce. If they see us hunting, they will rob us of bows, arrows and prey."

The eyes of several women were desperate, but they didn't cry. Most of them were numb.

For them, starvation may be a good ending, but they are reluctant to give up their children.

Lin Chu sniffed, glanced at the black in the pot and said, "don't be afraid, they don't dare to kill us."

But he also knew that after two or three years, Daming still didn't send someone to Hami, and those people gradually stopped paying attention to Daming.

When greed covered up his worries, the Han people he took with him would probably become slaves.

And women

He looked at the unkempt women and said, "ask them to make weapons, wooden guns, and that... Javelin. We can keep our food at least."

A woman suddenly begged, "Sir, the children in the family are too thin to be human. Let's fight. Beat away the group of people around us, and we will have food."

Another woman clenched her teeth and said, "how much food did they rob us? Adults, fight with them!"

"Yes, we fought with them!"

Lin Chu sighed, "Daming has defeated ha lie, and now those people are entrenched in Yili. There are many horse thieves. They are just afraid to annoy Daming, which gives Hami peace. But fear is fear. Once the HA lie people over there turn against Daming, Hami can't stay!"

Several women lowered their heads, tears dripping on the ground, and gradually choked.

The road ahead is broken and there is no hope to go back. What is this?

This is despair!
