Chapter 272 Departure
"The enemy on the oasis is still far away, so don't worry."

Tie Le was a little impatient: "The more than [-] vanguard troops in the west have been sending people around to search for our traces. What should we do?"

Ren Ning turned to look at Lei Er.

Lei Er then talked about what he observed a few days ago.

"Last time we silently wiped out 50 of them, so now the Beixiong people are very vigilant, and they will rush forward if something goes wrong, and they will hardly disperse their actions."

"Yes." Tie Le sighed, "their number is almost twice as many as ours. There is a saying in Yun Chui's art of war, and the double is divided. I also want to divide and annihilate them, but the other party keeps getting together and never separates. "

"Trouble!"

"How about," Tie Le looked at Ren Ning hesitantly: "Let's avoid the edge first?"

"It can't be avoided, and it can't be avoided." Ren Ning shook his head, "Let's not talk about where to avoid. Now the world is vast, but there is no place that is absolutely safe."

"And if we keep avoiding it, Grand Duke Langston in the oasis will go south. At that time, we will not only face the mere 2000 vanguard troops, but more than [-] people."

That will be more difficult.

"That's right!" Everyone nodded.

Since you can't retreat, you can only face the difficulties.

One word: war!

"It's really difficult for them not to separate." Ren Ning smiled and said confidently: "But we are not incapable of fighting."

The next day, Gu Datou and his entourage led more than [-] Kailun tribe warriors to continue practicing horseback riding.

Almost everyone, including the herdsmen who went out to graze, put down their work.

Those who kill cattle and sheep kill cattle and sheep, those who use cowhide to make slingshots make slingshots, and those who use sheepskin to pack are packed.

The whole clan was in full swing everywhere.

Tie Le looked at the bulging sheepskin bag in front of him, feeling a little confused.

Ren Ning ordered some large slingshots to be made, but not crossbow arrows.Is it really useful to pack these things?

But no one answered.

Everyone knows that when the tribe is in the most critical time, Jiajia will do more, otherwise Luoxi will be their end.

If other tribes in Xiliang attacked, if they couldn't beat them, they might even survive as slaves.

But the shining heads on the ruins of Luoxi speak for themselves.

If they can't beat them, there is only one ending: death!

Therefore, everyone worked as hard as they could, working day and night.

Three days passed in a flash.

Ren Ning looked at Lei Er again.

"The herdsmen's training time is a bit short, and it's a bit of a climate." Lei Er shrugged: "But the main charge is still the big ones. It doesn't matter."

Ren Ning nodded and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

It is said that people should not be judged by their appearance, and it is most suitable for Lei Er.

When he has nothing to do, he always likes to put something in his mouth, eat and chew, and looks very serious.But in fact, Lei Er has completed all the tasks entrusted to him to perfection.

Since he felt that Kai Lun's cavalry training had achieved some success, their growth was absolutely satisfactory.

"What's strange." The two instructors, Gu Datou and Lu Youtian, came over in a hurry.

"These herdsmen have been training before, but they are not as demanding and standard as the fortress. So they are not very powerful in our eyes. But they still have a foundation."

"Now we have adjusted it a little bit, and it will look decent soon."

Ren Ning made up his mind.

He turned around again, checked all the preparations, and nodded with satisfaction.

Summon Tie Le and others to the big tent.

At some point in front of him, a large map had been hung.

"This..." Tie Le was stunned and quickly recognized the map.

"This is the topographic map of the south of the Desert of No Return. When did you draw it?"

cough!
Ren Ning coughed, but did not answer the stupid question.

"The war is about to start, are you ready?"

Everyone cheered up, Wuxia thought about it again, and responded loudly: "It's ready."

Ren Ning nodded in satisfaction, and stretched out his hand to touch a place about twenty miles south of the Luoxi tribe.

"This place is the burial place of the vanguard of the Duke of Langston."

hum!
Ren Ning didn't talk much, and everyone in Kailun didn't understand why.

They were itchy but didn't dare to ask more questions.

All of them could only stare at the map, and almost didn't see a flower in that place.

"set off!"

Although Ren Ning said to leave, the group was divided into three parts.

He and Lei Er and the others left first.

Gu Datou, Lu Youtian and Alun Youmeng led eight hundred cavalry in the middle, and behind each horse were slingshots and packages made day and night.

In the end it was the herders who drove the large herds behind.

To the west, the ruins of Luoxi.

The soldiers of Grand Duke Langston frowned bitterly, pushing and shoving their small captains to go to Shangfeng's camp.

Ximo chose a good location for the station.

Although the stream at the bottom of the valley is not big, it is definitely enough for the people and animals of the small tribe to drink.

The east and west sides have wide sight lines.And the south is a small hill, when the sun is at its maximum at noon, it just blocks the hot sun.

But at this time, there were unburied dead bodies everywhere on the ruins, and the whole small depression was already full of stench, which made people want to vomit.

Even the soldiers of Beixiong, who have always had a strong taste, couldn't bear it.

"Your Excellency, the soldiers are all stunned by the smell of dead bodies, and they are also worried that a plague will break out. So everyone wants to leave this ghost place as soon as possible."

Andre was cleaning his gorgeous sword, when he heard this, his eyes widened.

"Let's go. Doesn't the Lord want to go?"

Why didn't he smell the soaring corpse stench.

In the past few days, the nose was almost twisted so that it lost its function.

It's just that when more than two thousand people first arrived in this strange grassland, they had to be cautious in everything, otherwise they would die outside without a sound like the 50 people before.

However, if 2000 people act together in a group, food and grass are okay, but drinking water is a problem.

"Have the spies found a new source of water? And have the mysterious people found any trace?"

Several subordinates looked at each other.

If the water source was so easy to find, this place would not be called the Desert of No Return, but Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

The most important thing is that the spies were repeatedly ordered not to disperse and act alone.In this way, one day can only search for places the size of a palm.

Therefore, it may take some time to find the water source and the group of enemies.

Several captains groaned for a while, and finally returned disgruntled.

In the evening, the sound of horseshoes sounded.

Report!
A messenger came back in a hurry, "Your Excellency, the three teams searching westward have all lost their traces within thirty miles. Their lives and deaths are unknown."

Andre stood up abruptly, looking west with burning eyes.

There are 30 people in three teams. Was the hiding place of the unknown enemy in the west?
"What about the teams in other directions?"

"No return for now."

"Go check it out right away." Andre roared angrily, "Send the order, and everyone immediately organizes their equipment and prepares for battle."

After a while, the entire Luoxi ruins erupted in commotion.

The well-fed Beixiong soldiers polished their weapons one after another, quietly waiting for the next order.
