Chapter 117 Lian Sailing Crossing Yangzhou-2

Xiliuzhou is full of vast Gobi deserts on the edges, so the map is not specifically marked. Huwen City is located in a desert. The hot sand sea marked on the map of the marching department are places where you can roast raw eggs in and out in summer.

"Ghost Place" the wrestler whispered, "How can people live in this place?"

"Yes, no wonder the founding emperor didn't want these birds in the south where they didn't poop." The escort also echoed.

"Stop talking nonsense and cheer up!" Li Yong was lying lazily in the car listening to these words, sitting up and poking his head out, "Not only can people live here, but also cutting your head." He put his hand on the awning to look ahead and thought that the journey of Huwen City should also be reached. Li Yong once visited Huwen City once, and could see a steep lonely mountain in this city. But he could see nothing at all when he looked into the distance.

"Don't worry, boss," Tianzishou smiled and said, "It's almost time to the field, we are not a vegetarian."

Although this adult is noble, he still leads a team of escorts, but everyone knows how noble it is. Anyway, he has been together for more than ten days and has no airs. The roads in Xia Kingdom only have different quality from Chang'an to Kangcheng. Huwencheng is a place that has only been newly attacked in recent years. The traffic is particularly inconvenient. The caravan is vaguely distinguished. The caravan has almost been moving in the desert and occasionally can see traces of the previous caravan passing by. This road is both difficult and boring. The caravans are all having fun in pain.

Li Yong glared and shrank his hands, his neck shrank and stopped talking. Li Yong yawned and looked at the boring desert scenery on both sides of the road and became slightly enlightened. Dashi is a powerful country that is not easy to succeed once it is prepared for plunder. Perseverance is not in line with Li Yong's temperament. When the Xia Kingdom sent Li Sihai to recruit Luo Hai Pirates, the sailors officially launched an harassment operation on the coast of Dashi princes. Li Yong retreated instead. He returned to the river to change direction to Tianzhu to bypass the Dashi princes' territory and directly trade with the Heifan countries in the sub-Saharan.

However, Li Yong's father, Bowang Marquis Li Hong, asked him to become an official and make some preparations for his succession to the Marquis of Bowang in the future. It turned out that after Li Sihai became the admiral of the Xihai Navy, the position of the State of Xia and Dashi continued to rise, he had great hope of becoming a marquis in the future. In this way, Li Yong would be able to inherit the Marquis of Bowang. With Xu Hu's recommendation, Li Yong entered the road with the great contribution of burning Basra. His mission was to use his merchant status as a cover to try to meet with the prince of Gassin in the northwest of India, Samman Hussein, and he concluded a separate peace agreement with him to strengthen Hussein's heart of betraying Gassin's Sultan Balam.

After the Xia Kingdom seized the Hezhong Kingdom, it established a religious inquisition and gradually immigrated to the south to seize the Khorasan region, and became the mortal enemy of the Xia Kingdom. After the rise of the Rom Turks, the Sultan of Gassin Balam formed an alliance with the Sultan of Rom and Mesud to destroy the Baghdad's Baiyi Dynasty. The Rom Sultan of Baghdad occupied Baghdad's control of the Caliphate. The princes of Dashi surrendered to the Rom Sultan, and officially replaced the Baiyi Dynasty as the communist ruler of the Dashi world. It became a major threat to the river. Among the princes of Dashi, the Jiasini Kingdom was the most threatening to the river. The Xia Kingdom wanted to destroy the Gashini Kingdom or force it to withdraw from the war, which was equivalent to cutting off the Rom Sultan's arm.

Li Yong had another purpose when he was on the mission to India. If Samman Hussein was unwilling to turn against Gaseni, he would instigate him to send troops to attack the weak Jura Kingdom in southern India. On the one hand, the Turkic troops in northern India could not rescue Gaseni, on the other hand, he used Samman Hussein to force the Jura Kingdom to cooperate with Xia Kingdom in the sea and even sent the navy to join the joint navy in exchange for the peaceful mediation of Xia Kingdom on land. Of course, all this was carried out in secret. Xia Kingdom and Gaseni are now enemy countries. If Samman Hussein turned against him, hanging or beheading was the most likely ending for the envoy.

"The more you respect your status, the greater your responsibility." Li Yong thought about it and murmured with regret, "Damn tradition."

A strong wind blows through the wind, sand and dust, sweeping over the sky and swept across the Gobi Desert from loneliness and desolation to violent and impermanence. This impermanent wind in the Gobi Desert is the least unwilling thing for business travelers to encounter. The empty and desolate surface makes the wind unblocked. When the wind blows, the sky is dim and the ground is dark, but the sand and stones are flying. It is quite lucky that the strong wind can move the dunes to bury the entire caravan and even completely change the landform of a desert.

The wind was so shrill that it was like a ghost crying and howls. A dozen steps away, the figures could no longer be seen. The horse and the bodyguards barely pulled the horses and covered their mouths and noses with cloth strips. They suffered from wind and sand in the darkness. Li Yong also jumped out of the carriage to help the horses hold. Fortunately, the horses were gentle and had no kicks and runs around because of fright. After a while, the wind gradually became smaller and it seemed that the wind was coming and going quickly. Everyone was relaxing and suddenly trembling slightly.

"Not good!" Li Yong raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Horse Thieves!" He stretched out his right hand and pulled out the scimitar.

"Horse thief!" "The robber is here!" "Don't worry about the carriage, everyone is getting closer!"

"Come in outside!" "Carry a round formation! Crossbowman!"

Because the road is narrow, the caravans are straddled with a line and are difficult to take care of each other. Suddenly, when the horse thief was greeted by the shopkeeper, the caravan decisively abandoned the dozens of carts in front, and the handicap was busy surrounding the cart in the middle into a circle.

The rapid sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. The caravan's circular formation had not yet formed. More than a hundred Turkic horse thieves broke out from the wind and sand. They probably had already been ambushing near the road. The unexpected wind and sand gave them the opportunity to suddenly rush into the chamber of commerce. At this time, the circular formation of the carriage had not yet been laid, but they ran towards the nearest carriage in panic.

"Don't run around and everyone gets closer to form a circle!" someone shouted loudly, but the effect was minimal.

"Damn it," Li Yong cursed, "The wrestlers must gather together!" Huangfu Ming and others also shouted loudly. At this time, no matter how they wanted to form a round formation, otherwise the horse thieves would rush to the front and die. Their shouts finally played a role. Some wrestlers began to risk gathering in the middle. Others were unwilling to leave the cover of the carriage and waited tremblingly for the horse thieves to rush closer and closer.

The sound of arrows breaking through the air sounds like "swoosh" and "swoosh" sounds everywhere, and the sword lights flash in the wind and sand keep screaming.

This is the Xiliuzhou Turkic horse thieves who will never leave a living carriage. Even those who drive the carriage will kill them. No matter how great your future is, you will be killed. No matter how great your future is, you will be defeated. A Turkic cavalry smirked and rushed towards him. Li Yong himself leaned against a carriage and raised a crossbow to point it at him.

The Turkic cavalry was very experienced. The direction of the war horse was constantly turning. The crossbow star was also shaking continuously but could not be fired. The two sides were more than ten steps away. Li Yong pulled the trigger. The Turks pulled the reins in advance and dodged the arrow. Then they waved the scimitar before urging the horse. He stared at Li Yong coldly as if a wolf in the desert stared at its prey. It was too late to shoot or crossbow at this distance. The Turks raised the scimitar and skillfully cut the neck of the prey.

"Bang--" There was a loud noise from the Turkic people who fell on the horse's back as if they were hit by a hammer.

"Damn it." Li Yong threw the pistol in the carriage. The moment the horse passed by, he grabbed the reins, turned over and rode the horse, and pushed the Turks down. He rushed to the nearest horse thief and made no choice but to make way for the blade. Then he raised his knife and cut the other party's neck. Li Yong did not have the patience to practice arrows, so he always brought a life-saving pistol, but the saber technique was taught by the masters of the Baiyi Dynasty. More than a dozen riders who rode horses were riding back and forth in the wind and sand. He did the same thing as Li Yong, although there were few people and weak people, he still waved his sword and fought desperately to stop the pistol and fight for time to let his companions set up defenses.

A stud was surrounded by two Turkic horse thieves and still fought to the death without retreating. The scimitar flew over and blocked the horizontal knife under the horizontal knife. The horse thief was cut off by the horse thief. The right hand with the horizontal knife made a cheerful cry. Unexpectedly, the stud was very strong. The stud was caught with the horizontal knife. The left hand gritted his teeth and stabbed him and immediately pierced the other party's chest. Blood gushed and dyed the robe red. All this happened suddenly and then another thief swung his sword and chopped the stud from behind and fell off the horse. He was still struggling and several horse thieves trampled by the horse before they stopped moving.

The desperate resistance of the troopers played a role. Before the large group of horse thieves rushed into the middle of the caravan, more than 20 horse-drawn caravans had already formed a caravan formation. The surviving troopers and wrestlers each guarded the troopers with swords, bows and crossbows. The horse thieves could not rush in for a while and had to stop temporarily. Li Yong and others were able to return to the troopers to rest. At this time, everyone saw clearly that there were more than 100 Turkic cavalry. Just now, the caravan troopers and their mates had killed more than 30 people and had more than 70 people left.

"Young Master Li?" The follower Huangfu Ming whispered, "Break through or hold on?"

"What?" Li Yong shouted loudly, "Light the wolf smoke!"

Huangfu Ming was stunned, "Oh, I forgot this!" He slapped his head and immediately took out the pile of wolf smoke and lit it.
