A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 337 Journey West to Dunhuang
Changan.

After the end of the rebellion, Xianyang, the old capital of the Qin State, was renamed Chang'an by Wang Ke, and a wave of old Qin nobles were purged. Chang'an was obviously ruined.

However, Xijing, as a Daqian dynasty, is still unmatched by ordinary cities.

The team of more than 400 people was huge, including hundreds of carriages filled with various supplies.Wang Ke specially sent someone to see them off.

As the vehicle traveled westward, the team gradually left Daqian's control.

The convoy followed the Chi Road to Longxi, which was already the border of the Daqian Dynasty.

"Sir, is this the place where the Zhou clan rose to prominence? The place where King Zhou Mu came on his westward journey?" A young man from the nearby clan came over and asked.

"Yes!" Wang Zhuo nodded and said: "It was here that King Wu of Zhou Dynasty set out from here to conquer Chaoge and destroyed the Yin Shang Dynasty in the first battle. King Mu of Zhou passed by here on his westward journey, but it is said that he went all the way to West Kunlun Well, I also met the Queen Mother of the West."

"Is there really Queen Mother of the West?" the disciple asked.

"What are you thinking? The so-called Queen Mother of the West should be the master of a tribe in the west. You should know that there are some tribes where women are in power."

"That's it!" The disciple nodded.

A large part of the team heading west this time are skilled craftsmen. After all, they need to do many things by themselves when they are away from home.

"Our ancestor King Wen told us to go west and explore, and we will be the pioneers!"

Wang Zhuo said with a smile that as sons of the Wang family, they have taken it as their own responsibility to spread the civilization of Zhuxia. This is the beginning of them opening their eyes to see the world.

Opening up a new world is difficult, and the stakes are daunting.Zijue's repeated miracles were also telling the Wang family that they had their own protection, and they could return to him even if they died.

The Wang family has never been afraid of death.Even Wang Luo, who originally wanted to live forever, also wanted to have more time to complete the big task in his heart.

The convoy left Longyou and entered a canyon. This canyon was very wide, with endless mountains on both sides.

The population is pitifully small, with only a few savage tribes living. The water source is not abundant, and the road to the west is gradually getting higher.

Originally there were still some Xiongnu tribes living here, but since Hetao was occupied by Dagan and the Huns were defeated several times in a row, they have been forced to move north.

Wang Zhuo and his party faced only a dozen or so bandits.Not to mention robbing these people, they were dealt with by Habayashi Wei who was about to go crazy out of boredom as soon as they appeared.

At the same time, these Huns also provided a lot of information to the convoy.

The biggest problem Wang Zhuo and the others encountered was that they were not accustomed to the climate. Even though everyone boiled water before drinking, some people still got sick.

Fortunately, when selecting people this time, all the people were chosen to be strong and strong, and a large amount of medicinal materials were prepared, so most of them were able to carry it.

Of course, in order to take care of these patients, the convoy was delayed a lot of time here.

The convoy's marching speed was not fast. After leaving the territory of Daqian, it became difficult for them to supply supplies.The same goes for horse supplements.

The hooves of a war horse are not protected by horseshoes and can easily wear out after walking for a long time. If the wear is excessive, the war horse will be useless.

At the same time, the slow marching speed is also to preserve the combat effectiveness of the Habayashi Guards.

Wang Zhuo's convoy still attracted the attention of some people. After all, they could not kill all the Huns.Soon, just as they crossed a piece of Gobi Desert, a thunderous sound of horse hooves came over.There were many veterans in the convoy. When they heard this voice, their expressions changed, and they immediately shouted: "The enemy is attacking, get in formation!"

"Young Master, this momentum has at least a thousand riders!"

After training, the team immediately began to assemble the vehicles into a formation after a brief panic.The soldiers of the Yulin Guard also quickly completed donning their armor.However, in just a quarter of an hour, the convoy completed its defensive formation, and the horse bandits also came to a stop two miles away.

Except for Habayashi Wei, everyone else in the entire team has also undergone training. These people are all elites selected from various places.

It can be said that these people are warriors when mounted, and craftsmen and scholars when dismounted.

Seeing that the convoy had formed a car formation, the Huns were not willing to leave. This was more than 100 carts of goods, enough for their tribe to live comfortably for a year.

Their children will not freeze to death in winter, nor will the elderly and the weak starve to death due to lack of food.

Thinking of this, the leading Huns were even more unwilling to give up. They directly ordered people to harass them from left to right, and waited until these people were tired before swarming up.

When Wang Zhuo saw the Xiongnu army beginning to harass them from both sides, he chuckled and said, "These Huns are still doing the same thing, so let's give them a good look!"

"Feather Guards, follow me to attack!"

"promise!"

Immediately, two hundred Yulin Guards got on their horses, and the Huns also began to shoot arrows, and then waved their horses' heads to prepare to leave. But at this moment, a shower of arrows was shot out from the chariot formation. The crossbows were extremely powerful, and in an instant they Shoot down a large number of Huns.

Hundreds of Huns fell to the ground, and a large amount of blood stained the ground red.They could never have imagined that there were so many crossbows in this small convoy.

The entire Xiongnu army fell into chaos, and at this moment, Wang Zhuo immediately led his army to rush out. Two hundred fully armed Yulin Guards rushed into the chaotic Huns.The whole scene was like a lion charging into a flock of sheep. Thousands of Huns were defeated by two hundred Yulin guards chopping melons and vegetables.

Wang Zhuo took the lead, raised his sword and killed the Huns one after another. The Yu Linwei who followed behind him were also brave and invincible.In just a moment, the Yulin Guards penetrated the Huns' formation.

"escape!"

"Run away, run away!"

"help me!"

The Yulin Guards rushed back and forth, killing the Huns wantonly. These Huns, who didn't even have much armor, had no power to resist.

"Surrender to avoid death!"

"Surrender and avoid death!" Wang Zhuo shouted in Xiongnu language, and many Huns dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Seeing the surrendered Huns, Wang Zhuo began to ask for news here.

After learning that the people in front of them were from Daqian, these Huns immediately became more submissive.The Huns are not all very strong, they are just some miscellaneous soldiers.

After surrendering to the Qian people, these Huns told everything they knew. Wang Zhuo focused on asking them about news nearby.I know the surrounding marching route, where there is water and can pass.

I also know the closest city to here.

Wang Zhuo selected a few obedient people from these Huns as guides and continued westward. Soon he came to a city with a very different style from the Central Plains - Dunhuang!
