The vast Gobi Desert is deserted, and the wind blows the dust in the sky.

There are no plants, trees, birds, and sand and rocky beaches everywhere.

Jiang Hao's troops now have about 260 people, but their only 103 war horses, so the entire team can only walk slowly.

Jiang Hao sat on the horse and looked at the vast sea of ​​sand. At this time, Su Mu came over and reported: "Military Hou, count it clearly. The dry food is enough for all of us to eat for four days. The water has almost been drunk just now. The swords, guns, armor only snatched from the soldiers of the prefect's palace."

"There is an oasis ahead, which can replenish clear water. The four-day dry food is enough for us to walk back to the Protectorate Mansion." Jiang Hao said.

Fortunately, they are soldiers of the Protectorate and live in the desert all year round, familiar with the environment here. The oasis in front is where they rested last night. A small river flowed by, which is the branch of the Peacock River. There are dense grass growing by the river, so that horses can drink water and eat grass. It is a fixed resting point on the Western Region Road.

"But the military waiter, the Protectorate's Mansion has been smashed and there is no supply in the future. How can we live when we go back?" Su Mu felt worried.

"We have nearly 300 soldiers, can we still starve to death?" Jiang Hao said firmly. If so many people are still hungry together, then we can only say that the Lord is a waste.

However, Jiang Hao said that he was a strong soldier, so he was really bragging. He lacked enough war horses, weapons and armor. Only his 100 subordinates of the Protectorate's Mansion were armed, and dozens of Protectorate's Mansion and the surrendered Prefects Mansion's Mansion are still bare-handed. Can this be called a strong soldier?

But Jiang Hao believes that there are everything that someone has.

When he found a suitable opportunity, he added war horses, weapons, armor, and reorganized the team. He believed that he would make these guys a strong soldier.

The team was moving forward all the way, and the speed was not fast. The team of more than 200 people was drawn into a long list. The horses walked with their heads down. The team had no flags. Behind it was a group of guys wearing only underwear. Anyone who saw it would think it was a defeated team.

The sun sets westward, and the sun is getting redder when it hangs in the sky, but Jiang Hao knows that the sky in the Western Regions should be about two hours before the sky becomes completely dark.

"Everyone rest!"

After walking for more than forty miles, Jiang Hao could see that everyone was very tired. He called for a rest. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the sand.

"Is there still water?" a soldier asked.

"It's gone, I just finished drinking it. If you bear it, I guess you will be able to go to the oasis in half an hour and have enough to drink at the oasis." Someone replied.

In the desert, water is life.

Even the 36 countries in the Western Regions all live around the edge of the desert, and the snow water left by the Tianshan Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Qilian Mountains and other mountains nourishes the grasslands, which is why these countries are found.

But these countries are also greatly affected by the regional environment in the Western Regions.

In fact, in Jiang Hao's view, these so-called thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are more like some scattered towns everywhere. Some small countries have only a few hundred or thousands of people, and they dare to call themselves one country. In the Western Regions, countries with tens of thousands of people are already considered top powers.

The Ghost Blows Out the Light made Jingjue Ancient City famous, but the real situation is that the Jingjue Country has only more than 3,000 soldiers and 500 soldiers.

The most famous ancient Loulan Kingdom, the Loulan girl, caused a sensation. Speaking of which, Loulan is also considered a great country among the countries in the Western Regions. The Han Secretary recorded 14,000 people and 3,000 soldiers. Loulan is the eighth-ranked existence among the six countries in the 30 miles.

At this time, the most powerful country in the Western Regions was the Wusun Kingdom, with a population of about 600,000 and a warrior of 100,000. It was a superpower among the countries in the Western Regions. However, its location was closer to the north, which was equivalent to today's Kazakhstan. It had a large ground and was full of water and grass, so it could raise so many people.

Just as Jiang Hao was thinking about the Western Regions, a war horse suddenly ran from a distance, with a fast speed and a scattered dust rising from behind.

Jiang Hao had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that it was the scout he sent out.

The scout came close to Jiang Hao, flew off the horse and got close to Jiang Hao, bowed and said nervously: "Military Hou, I found a team of Huns in the oasis ahead."

Jiang Hao is cautious in doing things. As long as he is a marching, he must act according to what the art of war says. Sun Tzu's art of war says: There are dangers and obstacles in military movements. Those who are in good condition, reeds, reeds, mountains and forests, must carefully check them out, which is where the traitor is located.

So even though they are so in a bad mood now, Jiang Hao sent a few scouts to explore the way forward.

When the others heard that there were Huns, they immediately stood up.

No matter when, the Huns were enemies to the Han people.

"How many people are there?" Jiang Hao asked.

"I observed from a distance that there was almost a team of people, about 50 people. At this moment, they were drinking horses and eating food and setting up tents. It seemed that they were preparing to stay overnight in the oasis." The scout said.

"Has it been discovered?"

"No, I was far away. After I found someone in the oasis, I immediately got off the horse and investigated, but the other party did not find it."

Jiang Hao's mind immediately started to think.

Since Wang Mang implemented a policy of discrimination against foreign races, the originally stable external environment has suddenly become messy. The 36 countries in the Western Regions were demoted, and the 36 countries have a rift against Wang Mang. The Southern Xiongnu, who had already lived in the Hetao area, also rebelled. Seeing the civil turmoil of the Han Dynasty, the Northern Xiongnu rose up again and began to send troops to capture the Western Regions, harass and plunder the border towns of the Han Dynasty. For a moment, the war started to rise again.

It is not surprising that there are Huns in the Western Regions.

In addition, the people of the Western Regions had great ambitions and wanted to unify the Western Regions, they also began to fight, and there were constant wars within the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are now in chaos.

But at this moment, there were still people in the Han people playing a game of power struggle. The Dunhuang prefect played Chen Da to death, which was considered to have self-destructed his arm in the Western Regions.

From then on, Yumen Pass and Yang Pass were closed and exchanges with the Western Regions were cut off, so Wang Mang might feel safer.

What should I do if I meet the Huns in the Western Regions?

Didn't say anything,

Just one word,

kill!

Jiang Hao's eyes swept over the six team leaders and asked, "What do you think we should do?"

"Everyone is obeyed by the military orders." The six people shouted together.

Jiang Hao suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Okay, then we can order the soldiers who can fight and catch them off guard!"

"promise!"

The six people answered in unison.

Jiang Hao has many people now, but only a hundred people can fight. Jiang Hao ordered Pang Xiong, Niu Kaishan, Dubin and Corgi to form four teams, each leading 25 people.

Su Mu and Cheng Yong were behind with infantrymen.

Jiang Hao and his team were less than 10 miles away from the oasis at this time, and a group of people quickly rode horses to the vicinity. During the march, Jiang Hao sent more scouts to investigate. In this way, Jiang Hao and a hundred people quietly arrived at a place only a few hundred meters away from the oasis, hiding behind a sand dune.

He took two people to the dune and lie on the dune to observe the situation in the distance.

I saw more than a dozen tents had been set up by the river. Some people gathered the war horses together to drink water and eat grass. Some people set up a fire and were cooking horse milk. It looked very idle.

Jiang Hao waved to Pang Xiong and Niu Kaishan beside him. The two followed Jiang Hao and quietly slid down the sand dune and lay on the shade of the sand dune. Niu Kaishan lowered his voice and asked, "Junhou, what should we do?"

"We are like this. I will take Doberman and Corgi to kill from the left, and you and Pang Xiong kill from the right. Let's take a surprise attack and attack on both sides!"

Jiang Hao stretched out his hand and gestured in the air.

"No problem, military waiter." Pang Xiong said.

The three of them went down the sand dunes, and Jiang Hao immediately ordered, "Brothers, prepare for war."

The others were silent, but they all clenched the sword in their hands.
Chapter completed!
