The hot air balloon is indeed a good thing. After going to heaven, you have a wide view. You can even see the territory of the Mongolians at first glance.

There is a saying that, although you can see the mountain, you can't see it, but in just a few days, you can't imagine reaching the end of the vision.

"Report! According to my observation in the air, Anke Timur's army was mobilized on the westernmost front and had no intention of advancing east." A few hours later, the soldiers who went to investigate came back to report, which made everyone feel relieved.

If Enke Timur had no unfaithful intentions, they would be able to move forward with peace of mind.

"Okay, I'll send the order to make meals at the third and the fifth, and the entire army will march to Hami." Zhang Yu ordered.

So everyone started to go back to rest, and the tough battle was about to be fought, so naturally they had to have a good rest.

The moon in Jiayuguan was far away. Hu Ye couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so he walked out to see the moon. He always felt that this time would not be so smooth. It can be said that this was his real first war.

He did not participate in the Jingnan Battle. As for the last time, his army did not participate in the war. It was all the Japanese who were fighting their own people.

"Young master, you'd better go back and sleep. The next few days of rushing marches, but there's no such good chance to sleep." Old Qian came to Hu Ye's side and murmured.

"You go to bed, I can't sleep. I want to see what's different about the moon in this desert." Hu Ye replied.

He had never been to this Great Gobi Desert in his previous life. Even though there is no pollution now, the moon he saw in Nanjing is still very different from the moon he saw in Jiayuguan.

"Before leaving, the young lady told me that I must always guard the young master's side. If the young master doesn't sleep, I won't sleep." Lao Qian said firmly.

Then Hu Ye turned around and looked at the five generals brought from his home, all of whom were standing behind Lao Qian. Obviously, if they didn't sleep, they wouldn't sleep even if they didn't sleep.

"I order you to go to bed." Hu Ye said loudly.

"Young Master, don't make things difficult for us." Lao Qian said with a puzzled look on his face. Next, the road from Jiayuguan to Hami was much more difficult than before. It was a luxury to have a good sleep.

If you don’t sleep tonight, you’re afraid you’ll be able to sleep well in the future.

"Do you listen to me or my wife?" Hu Ye said viciously.

"Young Master. We are the general's people. The general ordered us to protect you and we cannot make any mistakes." One of the generals said loudly. They were asked by Hu Ye from Zhang Fu, and they were not as familiar with Lao Qian.

Hearing them say this, they knew that they had Zhang Fu's instructions, so they didn't make things difficult for them. They came to them and whispered. "I'll take you from my elder brother, so from that moment on, you will no longer be his people. If you don't understand this, you don't have to follow me and you can go back to my elder brother. If you make up your mind to follow me, go to bed now. At night, Xiaoqiang's one is more effective than you five."

The eyes of the few people flashed. Indeed, when they came from Zhang Fu, they were still a little dissatisfied with Hu Ye because they had at least some training at Zhang Fu's place, but when they arrived at Hu Ye, they had only protectors.

Xiaoqiang stood up and looked at the five generals. During the day, maybe the five people together were no match for it, but at night, it was fully capable of defeating them one by one and ensuring that it would not be injured at all.

Old Qian knew that Hu Ye was a little angry, so he used his eyes to look at the people, and they took them off.

"Young Master, they have been with You Young Master Fu for too long, so don't be angry with them."

Old Qian knew why Hu Ye was angry. When he first met Hu Ye, he also accepted Zhang Fu's orders, but later it gradually changed. No one wanted the people around him to accept other people's orders, right?

"Okay, I know that my brother has good intentions." Hu Ye didn't intend to get angry anymore, after all, Zhang Fu has good intentions.

"Xiaoqiang, we're going back to sleep."

Hu Ye waved to Xiaoqiang, and Xiaoqiang followed with his tail.

Lao Qian was holding his horizontal knife and standing in front of Hu Ye's room.

Early the next morning, Jiayuguan became lively, and the 150,000 people were naturally very disturbing. When the march, I am afraid that the entire Jiayuguan would tremble.

"Zhou Tong, you are still guarding Jiayuguan. When the next 200,000 people arrive, you can follow them to set off."

Zhang Yu reminded Zhou Tong that after all, Jiayuguan was the northwest gateway of the Ming Dynasty, and even if they went out to Jiayuguan, someone would have to take charge.

"General, don't worry, I will definitely guard Jiayuguan."

Zhou Tong said firmly, in fact, he didn't want to fight with Zhang Yu, how good it would be to guard his lair.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Zhang Yu roared, and a total of 150,000 people came out from Jiayuguan in a row. It took two hours to set off from Jiayuguan completely. The hot air balloons in the sky were also flying. Look at the team below, which was several miles long.

And until Jiayuguan left, the real test had just begun.

The team has grown and the marching speed has slowed down. The one who could have marched dozens of miles a day is now half slower, and it can be marching for up to forty miles a day. This is still not a special situation.

If you encounter a sandstorm, let alone a march, it would be great if you can ensure that you don’t lose manpower.

However, Hu Ye and the others are lucky. It is winter now and there are very few sandstorms. Even if they encounter them, they are still very small and can't even take away people.

Although we can't encounter sandstorms, the huge temperature difference between day and night is very damaging to the army. It can reach twenty or thirty degrees during the day, but at night, it will drop below zero. Sometimes, if you don't want to get it on the iron armor, you won't be able to take it down. You have to need warm water.

Originally, Zhang Yu planned to arrive in Hami in two days, but unexpectedly, he arrived in Guazhou in two days and two nights, and the whole process was not halfway through.

"General, you must speed up the process, otherwise it would be impossible to delay time."

Qiu Fu came to Zhang Yu's military camp and said with some concern.

It is winter now, and the people of Harry Sultan are probably ready to move. Once they start to act, and before their 150,000 people have arrived at Hami Guard, things will be a little difficult to deal with.

"Do you think I don't want to be faster?"

Zhang Yu said with some displeasure. Of course, he also wanted to arrive in Hami earlier so that he could join the army of Encore Timur. Then, before the troops of Harry Sultan had arrived, he set up an ambush first, and then waited for Harry Sultan to jump into the trap he had dug.

But they all made mistakes before. When they arrived in Pingliang, they delayed too much time, so that they are now behind the process in Guazhou.

The biggest enemy now is the weather. It is not like the Central Plains area. It is windy and sand at any time. Although it is not as powerful as sandstorms, it doesn’t have to be any other difference when blowing on your face.

"But this is not a solution."

Qiu Fu was a little worried that the hot air balloon could not be activated in this weather at all. Once there was a strong wind, I was afraid that the hot air balloon would be blown to wherever it was blown.

However, just as they were worried, a greater disaster came.

It is normal to snow in winter, but it is not a normal time to snow in the desert. It only means that the temperature here has dropped a lot, and many soldiers from Nanjing did not expect such extreme weather to occur.

So on the first day of snow, someone gets frost sick. This is just the beginning, because it doesn’t make the snow cold. Once the snow starts to melt, the weather is the coldest time.

So the most important thing now is to get out of this snow field. Otherwise, when the snow melts, the Five Thousand Shenji Camp from Nanjing will be froze to death. This is the most powerful combat power in this army.

So, even though the weather was cold, the army set out in the middle of the night and advanced towards the Hami Guards.

The 150,000 people sent from Gansu and Shaanxi were very adapted to this kind of weather and there was no emergency. However, this sudden heavy snowfall caught them off guard.

It was not until dawn that they realized that it seemed that they had not yet walked out of the snow field, but the heavy snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there were already two fingers of snow under their feet.

It turned out to be the endless Gobi Desert, but now it has become an endless snow field.

At this time, naturally, we cannot stop and rest. We must find a place to settle down. There is no place between Guazhou and Hami, which can accommodate 150,000 people to rest.

"Go ahead! Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"

Zhang Yu gave the death order, and he had to use his iron-blooded wrist at this time. Isn’t it just a two-day and two-night marching? Even if it was heavy snow, he would not stop them from moving forward.

So a total of 150,000 people began to move forward in the heavy snow, and while the way they were moving, there were constant people falling behind.

When someone sees it, he takes it back for treatment. If no one sees it, there will be only the eternal burial here.

"Young Master, put this on quickly."

Lao Qian took out the bear fur coat and put it on Hu Ye. When he set off, Yingxue gave it to Lao Qian and asked him to hand it over to Hu Ye.

Hu Ye did not wear a bear fur coat, not because he was not cold, but because the Wuqian Shenji Camp followed him were all wearing thin clothes. If he wrapped himself in a bear fur coat, what would that matter?

"Young Master! You are the general. If something happens to you, who will command them?" Old Qian shouted loudly. Before leaving, Yingxue repeatedly told him to take good care of Hu Ye. If Hu Ye is frozen, what should he explain when he goes back?

"I am a soldier first, and then a general, and I am not the commander of this expedition, Zhang Yu is. You can give him this thing now! If something happens to him, he will be in a leaderless group." Hu Ye replied tremblingly.
