The Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty were far richer than Xinjiang that Yunchu knew.

It is mainly a desert. The scope of the Gobi is far less than that of Xinjiang, and the climate is naturally not as bad as Xinjiang.

The snow-capped mountains in summer are always surrounded by clouds and fog. Sometimes the fog will fall down and form a spectacular circle on the mountainside. When the fog rubs against it, thunder will appear. After the thunder, it will shake down into the clouds and mist Drops of water, and then a shower of rain, or a shower of snow, and sometimes a shower of hail at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

Finger-sized hailstones hit Yunchu's armor, crackling. War horses hated hailstones, not because the hailstones were cold, but because the hailstones hit the horses' ears making them very uncomfortable.

The hail under the snow-capped mountains does not keep falling. After a while, it will turn into freezing rain. If the clouds clear and the fog clears, it will turn into snowflakes.

That's right, on a bright sunny day, the snowflakes fall endlessly, and the snow on the ground can be an inch thick in the time of a cup of tea.

However, these snows can't last long. In the past, the ground temperature was high. In a blink of an eye, these snows would turn into water, and then make the original dirt road muddy.

Attacking cities and defeating enemies is very enjoyable, but traveling is very troublesome, especially traveling in the Western Regions, it is even more of a headache. Going from one place to another is fucking far away.

At the foot of the snow-capped mountain is a big man-eating city called Heraz. The reason why this city was built here is to guard against horse thieves from the Western Regions.

Now, Yunchu is a horse thief!
At the foot of the snow-capped mountain was a canyon with luxuriant vegetation. When Yun Chu brought his giant band of horse thieves down to the canyon, waves of dampness and hot air rushed over his face.

The most exaggerated thing is that Yunchu actually saw a banana tree at the edge of a forest.

People in Tang Dynasty don’t eat bananas, mainly because bananas at this time are full of seeds and are not tasty. If you want to eat them, you can only learn from the black people in Africa, pick the bananas and eat them roasted or boiled.

Yunchu chopped off a bunch of bananas with a horse lance, and saw a few yellow bananas on it, which should have been ripe.

Peeling off a banana and taking a bite, it was exactly as he thought, this kind of wild banana that has not been artificially cultivated basically has no sweet taste, not to mention sour and astringent.

Although it was not tasty, Yunchu still ate two. After all, it was a banana, and it was a banana from the Western Regions. It would be a shame not to eat it.

After eating two bananas, Xiao Yuhua swung from one tree to another like an ape, and landed on Yunchu like an ape-man before reporting: "Heraz City didn't set up a checkpoint here."

Yun Chu looked up at the terrain, frowned and said, "This is the last barrier for the city of Heraz, I don't believe they will give up here."

Xiao Yuhua took off a leech from the cloak and pinched it in his hand to show Yunchu: "This place is not suitable for garrisoning troops."

Yun Chu asked suspiciously, "Why didn't we see this thing when we came in?"

Xiao Yuhua lowered his head, did not answer, but glanced vaguely at the grass on both sides of the road.

Yunchu used the horse lance to push the grass away, and immediately pulled the horse back. A shaved sheep lay there motionless. It was covered with leeches, and some leeches were as long as fingers. Thick and thin, the whole body is red.

Needless to say, this was the method of Hassan and Combis. Yunchu also saw a lot of human corpses beside the sheep.

It seems that this is Hassan, Combis and the others often use this method when passing by here to deal with big cannibals.

"Have they already entered the city?" Yun Chu continued to ask.

"Yes, half an hour ago, Hassan and Cambis had already entered Heraz.

Now, after we appear outside the city and lure the cannibal army out, they will launch in the city. "

Yun Chu was disgusted by those leeches, and didn't want to stay longer in this wonderful canyon, so he led the army out of this blood-sucking canyon.

The small stone castle under the snow mountain, because of the background of the snow mountain and the woods, the scenery is always very good.

Especially here on the sunny slope of the snow-capped mountains, the warm water vapor blowing from the opposite side, blocked by the snow-capped mountains, has created a good appearance of green grass here.

The highland barley is also planted here, and a bundle has already grown, and the grasslands are full of cattle and sheep, which looks very rich.

There are farmers weeding in the highland barley fields, and there are shepherds on the grasslands. Occasionally, you can hear the shepherds flirting and singing with the peasant girls.

The big man-eating moon flag above the city of Heraz hangs weakly. People are coming and going in and out of the city gate, and it is a busy scene. As for the inside of the city and the houses outside the city, there is smoke from cooking.

However, when Yun Chu led his black armored cavalry over the hill and appeared on the main road, the original quiet and peaceful appearance of Heraz City disappeared immediately.

The shepherds started to drive their cattle and sheep in a panic, and the farmers ran out of the farmland quickly, and ran towards the city like flying.

Soon there was a shrill horn sounding from the top of the city, and the army of big cannibals rushed to the top of the city continuously. After a meal, there was a big cannibal general in shining armor leading a group of soldiers. The cavalry left the city and stood sideways in front of Yunchu.

Yun Chu looked back at his skull and bone stick flag, and felt that he was already a bandit, so he had no reason to say anything superficial to that cannibal general. He waved his hand, and the black armored cavalry behind him rushed down the hill like a tide , swept towards the big cannibal on the opposite side.

I thought that the five hundred cannibal cavalry would retreat into the city, but I didn't expect that the five hundred cavalry would attack the black armored cavalry without fear of death.

It's just that they couldn't wait for the opportunity for the two armies to meet. After the black armored cavalry abandoned their horse shields, they modified their crossbows. This is the kind of crossbow that can be controlled with one hand.

There were only three crossbow bolts inside. According to the rules of the black armored cavalry, after releasing these three crossbow bolts in one go, it was time to raise the horse lance, spear and other weapons.

The cavalry of the cannibals are not well equipped. The cavalry wears leather armor, or the kind of leather armor that can only cover the chest. Their horses do not have vests. In order to facilitate the cavalry to fight, their lower body only has a fat bloomers.

Because it was the first time to fight against the well-known cavalry of the Dashi Kingdom, Yunchu sent [-] full-armored heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry ran down the hillside, and after only a hundred steps, the speed had already picked up, and with a terrifying rumbling sound, they slammed into the disoriented cavalry cavalry who had been shot by the crossbow arrows.

Most of the horses under the crotch of the Dashi cavalry are red, and the overall appearance is very delicate, much more agile than the horses of the Tang cavalry.

This is the famous Arabian war horse.

Just when Yun Chu was coveting these beautiful creatures, those Tang cavalrymen who looked like monsters in vests collided with these big cannibals riding Arabian horses.

In the midst of people turning their backs, Yunchu saw that Liang Ying was still charging forward, he urged his horse, and completely pierced through the man-eating cavalry team.

After finally lowering the speed of the horse and reining in the horse, when he was about to turn back and fight again, he found that it was unnecessary. Junhou led the remaining cavalry and ran down the high slope. It is estimated that only one round of charge is needed to end the battle .

Yunchu's bay red horse ran the fastest, he was not here to kill people, but to rescue two subordinates who fell from the horse from the battlefield.

The heavy cavalry is not good at this point. After falling from the horse, they are usually injured, and it is very difficult to fight the enemy on the ground.

Yunchu's horse spear pierced the throats of the two big cannibals, and then pulled them hard, and the two Tang soldiers were pulled aside so that they would not be hit by the horse team behind.

After [-] cavalrymen sorted out the chaotic battlefield, the fighting on the battlefield basically subsided.

The man-eating general is still alive, but the weapons and armor on his body have been stripped off by Tang Jun. He yelled at Yunchu angrily, "Who are you?"

But he ignored his own life and death.

After the battle just now, Yunchu could see that these cannibals were not pure cavalry, perhaps they should be called infantry on horseback, their familiarity with horse warfare was far less than theirs The effect of fighting on the ground.

Yunchu pretended not to understand the ugly Huihe language of the big cannibal, but turned his head to the city.

At this time, the city of Heraz had already started to smoke. Hassan, who was as fat as a pig, was fighting on the top of the city at this moment, but Han Yong was as brave as a lion. land.

This made Yunchu begin to imagine how neat a warrior of the Western Regions Hassan would be when he was slender.

"Who are you? Are you from Tang Dynasty?"

The cannibal general is still roaring heart-piercingly. It can be seen that he really likes this city. From the quiet and peaceful scene he saw just now, this cannibal general should be regarded as a A qualified city owner.

Yunchu also didn't want to turn such a quiet and peaceful town into a hell on earth.

But, there was no way, when Hassan and Combis chose the first city to raid, they all chose this small city named Heraz.

Sometimes being rich is an original sin, especially when you don't have enough power to protect the wealth, the ending is often the saddest.

"I came here to ask for directions, why did you start attacking us without even asking?"

After Liang Ying came back in a hurry, she pretended to be regretful and said to the cannibal general.

"You are vile robbers."

The cannibal general pointed at Heraz who was smoking, and Hassan and Cambis who were slaughtering the cannibals at the top of the city. He should have recognized them, or he was very familiar with these two people.

"We are not, we are innocent passers-by."

Liang Ying ordered his subordinates to tidy up the uninjured or only slightly injured Arabian horses. After the wounded Tang cavalrymen were sent to the horses, Yun Chu raised his whip and continued walking westward.

From the beginning to the end, Yunchu didn't say a word, and he didn't let the cannibal general be killed. He even took pity on his situation and thoughtfully prepared a wounded horse and a pack of dry food for him.

Seeing Yunchu leading the team away from Heraz, the Dashi General was still jumping around and cursing.

When Hassan and Combis cleaned up the big food warriors at the top of the city and turned their attention to him, the big food general hurriedly jumped on the injured horse and ran away.

He felt that he couldn't die at this time, and needed to inform the governor of the news of the enemy's arrival.
