Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 183 Grassland
There are more than 5000 people in a mighty way, slowly heading northeast along the path.

According to the local people, there is a small road here that can pass through Zhenlang Pass and go straight to the grassland.

This path has been deserted for many years. It is not only full of weeds, but also because it is extremely dangerous, so it has been deserted, and no one has walked for many years.

So few of the guards of Tianming knew about this road, and the Tatars knew nothing about it.

In fact, this is normal when you think about it carefully, because the grassland tribes have always been nomadic. They ran from here to there today, and ran back from there tomorrow. In addition, although the grassland tribes have been fighting the autumn wind at dawn, they also fight all year round.

Just like more than ten years ago, the strongest tribe outside Zhenlangguan was not Tatars, but Jurchens.

This small road is difficult for pedestrians, and horses are even more sad. As for a larger carriage, it is impossible to pass at all, so before stepping into the small road, Wang Kuo has already sent someone to unload the supplies on the carriage, and walk all on their backs. .

As for dry food and fodder, there are only less than seven days left, which means that after seven days, if they can't find food and fodder, these people will all starve.

drive……

The horses were walking on the small path between the mountains, Wang Kuo was leisurely and contented, and this place was still driving away, but the real difficulty was not far away.

Sure enough, more than 1 soldiers marched several miles away. After half an hour of advancing, a path on the cliff finally appeared in Wang Kuo's sight.

This path is less than half a meter wide, and it is covered with weeds and irregular falling rocks. Beyond the half-meter-wide mountain path is a [-]-meter-deep abyss. Although you can see the depths, you can definitely fall to death.

Therefore, even if Wang Kuo saw it, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

"My lord?" Duan Kui, a soldier standing beside Wang Kuo, also frowned and looked at the bottom of the cliff, asking with worry on his face.

"Are we really going this way?"

"That's right, this time we are all cavalry. We not only brought the disarmed horses from the Golden Army, but also the entire town of Langguan. If you go back at this time, you are not afraid of shame. I can't afford to lose this man!"

"Besides, this road looks dangerous, but it's actually nearly half a meter wide. As long as you walk carefully, it's not that dangerous."

"In this way, please inform, and everyone will rest for half an hour. After half an hour, I will go first and take the lead for you."

"No, my lord!" Hearing that Wang Kuo was going to take the lead, Duan Kui's first reaction was that he couldn't do it, and he stood up and patted his chest without thinking.

"My lord, let the subordinates take the lead."

"Okay, don't follow me to grab it!" Wang Kuo stopped him: "Even if you don't want to, I will be the first one in a while, and you will follow me closely, and you will be the second one." !"

To be honest, this cliff is not as simple as what Wang Kuo said, because above the half-meter-wide path, there are protruding stones, some of which protrude a full [-] centimeters, and want to lead the horse. In the past, what was not easy was even more difficult.

This is also the reason why Wang Kuo wants to take the lead. The first is that he wants to lead the way. Only when you pass as an official, the soldiers behind will follow without complaint. "Look, the generals are all in the front. He is so big. No official is afraid of death, what else do we have to be afraid of?"

The second is that he can be regarded as going to explore the road. If it is really difficult to walk, the big deal is to really go back and choose another one.

It's just...it's really more difficult to choose another path that doesn't disturb the Tatar Ministry.

During the break, half an hour finally passed, and Wang Kuo led the horse first and set foot on this dangerous path.

Just when he was less than ten meters away, Wang Kuo was shocked. It wasn't that he couldn't walk, but that the horse stopped moving forward.

A war horse also has its own thinking, maybe it cannot be as smart as a human being and knows how to think, but it also knows how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and knows that this road is dangerous.

But it’s easy to say if the horse doesn’t go, the problem is that Wang Kuo has no way to retreat, there are only two ways left in front of him, one is to continue to lead the horse forward, but if the horse doesn’t go, he can’t carry the horse on his back Bar?

Being ridden by a horse?Thinking of Wang Kuo, he couldn't help but shiver, orcs are not good!

You can retreat, the horse is blocking the road again, because Wang Kuo is leading the horse, so he is in front of the horse, so if he really wants to retreat, he has to push the horse off the cliff.

Difficult to advance or retreat for a while, Wang Kuo stopped, watching Duan Kui who had not yet set foot on the path, extremely anxious, but helpless.

Seeing the war horse kept looking down at the depths of the cliff, Wang Kuo didn't dare to beat it at will. If the horse gets hairy, it's all over!

Wait, there is no way!

Suddenly, Wang Kuo had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution that he didn't know if it was feasible or not, but the matter had come to this point, and Wang Kuo had no choice.

"Old man, life or death depends on your fate and choice!" Wang Kuo muttered in his heart, took out the sharp knife he carried with him, and cut off a long piece of cloth from his coat without hesitation. strip down.

After a while, the war horse was blindfolded by Wang Kuo with a cloth strip, which also made the war horse kick around restlessly, so frightened that Wang Kuo quickly reached out to stroke it to calm its emotions.

If the war horse couldn't calm down and walk, then Wang Kuo had no choice but to push it off the cliff and choose to retreat.

Fortunately, the temper of this war horse was not like some little princes. Under Wang Kuo's comfort, he finally calmed down slowly. It was only at this time that Wang Kuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.And try to lead it forward slowly.

One step, two steps, three steps.The war horse was not at all anxious, but Wang Kuo found that the war horse would sometimes go astray.

But this problem is not difficult, as long as the rein is shortened and held close to the horse's nose, it can ensure that the horse walks close to him.

With experience, Wang Kuo naturally wanted to explain to Duan Kui behind him, and at the same time asked Duan Kui to explain these experiences to the soldiers behind, and then began to move forward cautiously.

After untold hardships, finally only a cliff more than 300 meters long was stepped on by Wang Kuo, and he successfully walked over it.

With the passage of time, Duan Kui finally followed closely behind without any danger, and the soldiers behind also began to move forward slowly.

After a whole day, more than 1 people finally stepped through this dangerous path and reached the other shore.

The flowers on the other side bloom, but some people can see them, and some people will never see them.

There were more than 5000 people, and there were inevitably casualties on this small road. More than 100 people fell off the cliff, and even dozens of people were about to fall. Finally, they abandoned their horses and escaped by chance. .

But how to say, it is good to come here, so after a brief rest, Wang Kuo ordered the march again.

After walking for more than ten miles, it was completely dark before setting up camp and choosing to rest.

Five days passed in a flash, and finally, five days later, Wang Kuo led the soldiers out of the mountain path and came to the wilderness in front of them.

It was supposed to be a four-day trip, but it was delayed by one day because of waiting at the cliff.

"My lord!" Duan Kui stepped forward and asked.

"Everyone go north, find a way to catch an eye and ask!"

The wilderness in front of me is a line formed by the grassland and the sky in the distance. It can be seen that the roads in the distance are all grasslands. As for the distinction between southeast and northwest, it is really uncertain in the future.

Another problem is that although Wang Kuo has a map outside the pass, it only shows the trend of the grassland outside the pass. As for those grassland tribes, it is unknown.

The trend of the grassland will not change, but who knows if the previous tribes still exist?After all, the grassland tribes are nomadic people, and it is impossible to stay in one place all the time.

"Let's go, everyone, try to find the tribes in the grassland today, otherwise we can only continue to eat our dry food!"

After Wang Kuo yelled, he took the lead in drawing his horse and went straight to the depths of the grassland in the distance.

The [-] soldiers behind just followed on horseback, and suddenly thousands of horses were galloping, and yellow dust was flying all over the sky.

It is undeniable that the grassland is not all green grass. In fact, there are many different terrains, but in fact the grass is still the real main theme, which is why it is called the grassland.

Therefore, until Wang Kuo led his people on a horseback ride for a day, the surrounding scenery didn't seem to have changed much, if you insist on changing!

Maybe it's the difference in the depth of the grass!
"Camp in place, everyone rests for one night first. Send two scouts to investigate, and the radius is required to be [-] miles around!"

Wang Kuo waved his hand to stop the soldiers from running, and gave orders in an orderly manner.

After running for a full day, Wang Kuo had no choice but to let the prairie tribe rest.

Tomorrow, if he still can't find the tribe tomorrow, then he can only let the soldiers eat seven percent full or even five percent full.

As for tonight?

Everyone was tired all day, Wang Kuo couldn't be so impersonal, so he asked the soldiers to continue to eat eight percent.

At critical moments, dry food is life, especially now that the army is alone, so the role of dry food is particularly important.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Wang Kuo also set off with his army again, chose the north, and continued to gallop.

So far, Wang Kuo has no good solution, because he doesn't know where these prairie people are hiding.So he can only use the most stupid method, which is to keep walking in one direction.

He couldn't believe that he couldn't find a tribe!
Well, it’s okay not to believe it, because half a day passed in a flash, but this half day was still grassland except for the endless grassland, and there was no one figure at all.

"My lord, are we..." Duan Kui couldn't help but swallowed his saliva at this time, they were running out of dry food, even if they ate five percent full, they would only last for a day at most.

In other words, if they can't find the enemy tomorrow, they will be hungry!
To be honest, Wang Kuo is a little hesitant now, but after thinking about it, he still gritted his teeth and said!
"Give more dry food to the soldiers responsible for spying on the news, and let them increase the distance. I don't believe that we can't find a tribe across the entire grassland."

At this time, no one has a better solution, but the lack of a backbone, so as long as Wang Kuo does not panic, there will be no problem for the time being.

"Yes, my lord!" Duan Kui responded, and soon a group of soldiers rushed out again!
This is also one of the two batches of scouts. They return to handover each other. After all, they can take a break while traveling with the large army, but they are responsible for spying, and there is no time for rest.
