Chapter 216 Sharp Knife
Now that the decision was made, the two ignored it and headed west all the way.

Even in order to avoid possible spies, the team even went slightly north.

In the vast grassland, a mere two hundred riders is like a grain of sand, it is difficult to find it if you sprinkle it in.

Safe journey.

In the afternoon of the second day, Gu Datou hit a high point.

Holding up the binoculars, he looked around blankly.

The grassland is vast and boundless; wherever you look, there is no one inhabited.

"He made it up, where are we now?" Gu Datou frowningly compared the crumpled map of Xiliang in his hand over and over again.

However, knowledge is time-consuming, and he can't understand it at all.

"It won't be near the Desert of No Return."

"Impossible, it's still far away if we don't return to the desert." Lu Youtian shook his head, "If we run at our speed for a month, we may not be able to reach the desert."

He took over the binoculars and checked, "We only walked for one day and one night. It is estimated that it is near the north of the Benlu tribe."

Gu Datou heaved a sigh of relief, and carefully put away the map.

"That's good. Let's run another hundred miles to the west, and then we'll make a mark on the people of Xiliang."

For hundreds of miles, with their uneven horse speed, if they set off after sunset, they would probably run until the early morning.

When the next day was ugly, Gu Datou let out a low cry.

In the telescope, there is a long fire dragon about fifteen miles to the south, slowly moving from west to east.

"The Xiliang people of the dog day! They didn't sleep most of the night, and they were still walking east. Do you really think our fortress is full of dead people?"

Lu Youtian ignored this, took over the binoculars and observed carefully.

"It's all cattle, sheep and fodder, and there are a few people from Xiliang watching on both sides. It seems that Shi Qianzhang was right. What he encountered last night was not the Xiliang vanguard who had been attacking us before."

As for who it was, they were just small soldiers, and they didn't have much information, so Lu Youtian couldn't guess it.

Gu Datou raised the sledgehammer in his hand: "Whoever they are! Just do it!"

"Wait a minute." Lu Youtian frowned.

It is definitely necessary to do it, but it is a waste to rush like this.

They are a small team, both offensive and mobile are very sensitive.And with binoculars in hand, he could easily find Xiliang people and avoid their encirclement in advance.

If operated properly, such a team could become a sharp knife deep in the grassland, turning Xiliang's logistics upside down.

When Lu Youtian said this, Gu Datou's eyes lit up.

"Old Lu, you can do it." He thrust the binoculars and the map into Lu Youtian's hands without hesitation, "From now on, we will do whatever you say."

No matter the size of the team, there can only be one voice.Although Gu Datou was straight-headed, he was still clear in his heart.

Lu Youtian twitched the corners of his mouth, but did not speak out, and finally took the telescope silently.

Whether the idea is feasible or not, the premise is that the soldiers and mounts in the team have enough rations and drinking water.

He doesn't have to worry about eating.

In addition to dense live cattle and sheep, the logistics team in front of them also carried countless dried meat, and bags of grain and grass can be seen everywhere.

It's just that how to find the water source is a bit troublesome.

Because there are places with water sources, almost all Xiliang people settle nearby.

Fortunately, the royal court of Xiliang moved eastward on a large scale this time.The small tribes were either forced to join the big clans or to leave the world as a hermit.

They searched hard, and they should be able to find the water source.

But no matter what, taking advantage of the darkness in front of you to grab a wave first is the right thing to do.

Just do what you said, the 200 people repaired for a quarter of an hour, and then turned their horses and headed south quietly under the leadership of Gu Datou.

The original prairie fire also burned here.Although the grassland under their feet has largely recovered, the shrubs are not enough to cover their figures.

However, the black night in front of you could not see your fingers, and the sound of cattle and sheep covered the slight sound of horseshoes.When the two hundred riders touched the place less than one mile away from the Xiliang people, the other party still didn't notice.

The team stopped.

If you get closer, you will be spotted by all kinds of hounds with a keen sense of smell.

At this time, the little soldiers spread out from left to right, forming a long row.

Everyone silently sorted out their things, mainly taking out fuel such as kerosene and saltpetre and putting them in a convenient place.

After a while, everyone finished tidying up, raised their weapons at the same time, and stared at the front silently.

Tweet!
The loud and sharp whistle sounded in time.

"kill!"

Heavy drinking.

Boom!

More than [-] horses let out a long howl, and carried their master madly towards the long logistics team below.

In the Xiliang team, Ximo sat on the horse, drowsy.

Five days ago, he suddenly received an order from the patriarch, and immediately led people to escort the grain and grass to the east.

"Patriarch," Xi Mo swallowed in disbelief at the time, "now?"

They, Luoxi, are just a small tribe, and the pastures and water sources they occupy are not good but not bad either.As long as there is no large-scale fire or the like, the whole family basically has no worries about food and clothing.

It can be said that apart from the lineage of the patriarch, almost no one thought that one day they would travel thousands of miles east to attack the legendary and prosperous Central Plains Kingdom.

Besides, who doesn't know that there is an epidemic in the Yanfeng Fortress, even the general who defends the fortress is not immune.It's fine if they don't stay far away, but now they have to get closer.

This is the wolf god hanged himself, too long?
It's just that the royal court's decision cannot be changed or resisted by these small tribes.Ximo finally bid farewell to his newlywed wife, and took nearly a hundred Luoxi people to escort a batch of grain, grass, cattle and sheep to the east.

"kill!"

The roar from the north made Xi Mo tremble with fright.

Cloud language?
Where did the Yunchui people come from?

He shook his dizzy head, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Sheng.

One mile was not far away, and before Xi Mo realized what had happened, more than two hundred people riding the Eighth Battalion had already arrived in front of them with murderous aura.

"You made it." Gu Datou roared angrily, and swept out the heavy hammer in his hand.

"Enemy attack!"

Under the flickering firelight, the Luoxi people in front finally saw Gu Datou's appearance clearly, and he called out strangely: "Yunchui people!"

Before the voice fell, Gu Datou's sledgehammer had already hit him on the head.

flutter!
There was a soft muffled sound.

The sledgehammer has no front, but it is sharper than anything else under brute force.

The Luoxi man in front of him had already tried his best to greet him with the weapon in his hand, but his mantis was like a cart.In an instant, people and horses were smashed to the ground by Gu Datou, and there was no life left.

The strong bloody smell permeated everywhere in an instant.

Almost at the same time, there were screams everywhere in the long logistics line.

Intentional or unintentional.On one side are the soldiers of Yanzhen who have killed countless people in the battlefield, and on the other side are just ordinary herdsmen who have been brought in by the royal court. No one is an enemy in a round.

wow~
The flames flickered, and dozens of grain trucks suddenly burst into flames.

BAA Baa baa……

Moo moo.

Animals are most afraid of fire.The cattle and sheep in the team have been walking for several days, and everyone is exhausted.This time, the group became restless and ran around in all directions.

It was okay to have herdsmen to restrain them before, but now there is no need to care about whips and sheepdogs. The cattle and sheep ran out in a mess.
