The soldiers of the Ming army lined up two rows of infantry formations on the periphery, with guns, shields and long-guns waiting for the battle. The Tatars, Hami Mongols, civil servants, and camels were all crowded in the middle, and people watched the enemy in horror.

The archers in the formation were ready and stood behind and waited. The small number of Hami Mongols also brought weapons, and they took down their bows and arrows to defend against the enemy.

There were also some musketeers behind the infantry, who were busy filling, and some people passed the fire to ignite the fuse one after another. Everyone had no enemy situation all the way. Usually, the musket was empty, probably because the gunpowder was easily blown away by the wind. The soldiers were very quick, but in desperation, some people's fingers were trembling obviously.

A tile-stinging cavalry surged over, and the generals of the Ming army were already shouting, ordering everyone to stabilize the front and not retreat.

However, when the Watshu people rushed to more than a hundred steps, they stopped one after another. Many horse soldiers moved towards the wings, but they did not get close to each other.

Seeing this, someone in the Ming army asked, "What do you want to do in Wasatren? If you don't attack at this time, isn't you just slacking off the fighter's plane?"

The Tatars's Huo Chi looked suddenly and said in Chinese: "There is no water here, so I can't keep it."

At first, people were faced with the threat of the tile cavalry, and they were all nervous and only cared about the danger in front of them. At this time, after being reminded by someone, many people realized the problem. There was yellow sand around them, so where was there water? The most terrain was that everyone walked uphill for two days. The desert was higher and it was even more difficult to find water.

As expected, the twass soldiers had no intention of attacking, but only watched from places not far or near.

The Han and Mongols in the formation dug the ground to find water together, and people kept digging the sand pit deep. The hope was slim, but everyone was still looking forward to the miracle. The two sides were in a stalemate until the evening of that day, and the Ming army had not dug a drop of water.

Food and water were still stored, but panic began to spread among the crowd that day.

Asari turned to look at a Han man whom he didn't know, trying to understand his words. The Han man said, "We have been walking in this sand for two days, and it is always uphill. Whether we move forward or backward, the road is very far. If we slowly move the general formation out of the desert, we may have been thirsty and exhausted. If we change the formation, we will be dispersed by the cavalry."

The Han man who was talking was wearing armor, his heart-protecting mirror was bright, and he wore a blue shoulder scarf. He looked like he was a general leader.

Another voice said: "Water Thorns will wait for us to thirsty and exhausted, and then launch another fatal blow."

"Qingshou" said: "In the north of this place, except for the small oasis along the Ruoshui River, there are all deserts and deserted stones. The place where the Watts are moving is eight feet away, at least a thousand miles away. The Watts cannot be on an expedition for our several Ming army and a hundred-household teams. They came to the Tatars."

The more Ashari heard it, the more something was wrong. She vaguely felt that these Han soldiers would abandon the Tatars and find ways to break through and escape. The Wassai people should really come to the remnants of the Tatars. As long as they captured the Tatars, they would most likely not pursue the Han people.

She turned her head and looked at Feihuo Chi, but she couldn't tell Feihuo Chi's attitude.

The surroundings stopped and the light gradually dimmed after the sun set.

At this time, a general wearing a cloak came over, and his voice said, "We have to escort the Tatars to Peiping. If we escape at the battle, I will not be able to do anything to the military law."

"The Green Scarf" said: "The brothers don't want to die for the Tatars."

The general said: "Soldiers died for others. We do not serve the Tatars, but serve the emperor and the court."

Asari couldn't understand the general's words.

The civil servant who followed the army suddenly said, "As far as I know, this matter is the will of the Lord. If you mobilize your list, you will be in the various garrisons. If you escape, you will be a criminal, but you will not die in vain. Think about your family and descendants."

All the Han people nearby stopped talking and the dispute ended.

There was nothing wrong all night, and the Wasan Army did not attack at night, and the Ming army also maintained its military formation and took turns to be on duty. The next day after dawn, Asari found that there was no sign of the Han soldiers running away.

The general issued a military order, requiring everyone to hand over the water bags and distribute them every day. Then he ordered the soldiers to maintain a round formation and the entire army slowly moved westward. People stopped after walking for a while and continued to dig holes for water.

The Wastu People's Brigade located in the northeast and the surrounding cyclists followed like watching a play, and still had no intention of attacking.

This situation lasted for four or five days. The water everyone carried was exhausted and no water was found underground. People were ready to kill camels. Moreover, the Han martial artists were exhausted, and the thirst and fatigue made them look weak.

Asari felt that the lips inside the black veil were also peeling, and despair was shrouded in her heart. What made her most regretful was that she could not save the child. She watched the son who was taken care of by the female slave every day, but could not take care of herself.

She found Tuohuochi and whispered in Mongolian language: "Why, the Wasserman knows so much news?"

Bohuochi looked at Asari in confusion: "How do I know?"

Asari was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that everyone is going to die. Why don't the Prime Minister let me die?"

Tuohuochi asked back, "Do you doubt me? I am the prime minister of Mongolia. Is there any reason to collude with Tishu people?"

Asari was speechless, she couldn't force her to get rid of the fire.

At this moment, Asari heard the noise. When she looked up, she saw some thorn cavalry suddenly rushed over. She was stunned and was very surprised. She thought the thorn people would wait for another three or two days to make people thirsty and without resistance before taking action. After all, at this time, the Ming army had not completely lost its combat power.

There was also noisy around, and the crowd in the middle became more and more crowded. Asari was not sure that he was pushed for a while. Instead, the tired and thirsty Han soldiers still maintained their formation.

The infantry holding guns and shields in front squatted down, and the musket soldiers raised their long guns one after another. A Ming general pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Prepare!"

Soon, the sound of the muskets of "bang bang bang bang..." sounded, and they fired twice in turn. The pungent and choking smoke filled the crowd. Then the musket soldiers began to get busy again. Asari saw them poking muskets with long strips, which seemed very troublesome. She didn't know why the Han people simply used bows and arrows, and there were archers shooting arrows in the queue.

Screams kept coming, and from time to time, people were shot and fell to the ground, and the unarmed Tatars gathered in the middle were killed and injured.

At this moment, some Han people came over and began to drive away the camels. They beat the camels with whips, and then made way out in the formation ahead, and a group of camels rushed out in panic.

Sure enough, when the Mongols rushed over again, they met the running camels, and the tile-spiked cavalry had to disperse and slow down. The Ming army archers began to aim and shoot at the cavalry, and the arrows that were riding on the opposite side also whizzed past their heads.

Asari was in a mess. She found a general who gave orders and shouted in Chinese: "Give me an arrow, a bow."

The general turned his head and looked at her, and actually took off the bow and a quiver and handed it to her.

Asari immediately set off his bow and arrow, and saw a cavalryman who was stabbing his horse. After the sound of the string, the enemy soldier was dismissed.

After a while, there was a shout from the north, and the thorns rushed to the formation. However, the sand on the ground seemed to affect the cavalry's charge. The thorns were not fast. Several cavalrymen were pulled down from the horses and screamed by the cherry gun.

However, the Cavalry of Wassar continued to shoot with cavalry, and the number of people injured in the Ming army continued to increase, and the insurgent formation showed signs of scattering. At this time, camels injured by arrows in the circle ran around, and the crowd became even more chaotic. Asari felt his ears "buzzing" and could not hear any sounds clearly.

Several cavalry of thorn soldiers rushed into the round formation, and the unarmed Tatars and some slaves rushed around, feeling like a sensation. A cavalry leaned over and chopped over a Han man with a musket and rushed over. Asari stared at his movements, pulled his bow and raised his hand, and hit the target with an arrow. Only the thorn people screamed and fell off the horse, and then continued to neigh and scream in the crowd.

The Watts continued to break into the military formation, and many Tatar Hami people had already run out, but the escaped people had no good end. They kept getting arrows and the bodies in the desert were everywhere.

The sound of muskets sounded sporadically among the chaotic army, and the sound of strings was endless.

Asari had no strength in his arms. She was a little exhausted after not drinking enough water these days, and it was very difficult to pull the bow. She bent down and rested, observing the surrounding soldiers, and always paying attention to the female slave holding the child not far away.

When she heard the movement, she suddenly turned her head and saw that a cavalry was approaching and the cavalry's sword had already swung into the air. Asari's heart suddenly became cold.

"Nee!" The war horse suddenly screamed, and a Han soldier rushed up, but the Han people were probably not enough, so they didn't jump high, and they hit the horse's back. The soldiers' armor touched the knife that stabbed the tiles and stabbed the "clang" sounded. The war horse's rear hooves could not avoid it, stepped on the Han people's body, and a scream rang out.

When Asari came to her senses, the enemy cavalry had already run over from the side. She hurriedly ran to the Han soldiers and knelt on the sand. She saw the people on the ground with blood on their faces and vomiting blood in their mouths.

She reached out to put her hand on the Han people's armor, but she didn't know where his worst injury was. She asked in Chinese, "What are your name?"

The sergeant looked at Asari blankly, not knowing whether he didn't understand or could not hear. He kept vomiting blood, then stared at the sky without saying anything.

A woman's scream came from behind. Asari hurriedly grabbed the bow and quiver and stood up, looking around for the slave who was holding the child. She was relieved until she saw the child in the crowd.
