high official

Chapter 1174
The Tatars desperately need such news to relieve pressure.Seeing people crying, dancing, and rolling all over the ground in the whole army, Alutai also understood that if they are not allowed to vent, these guys may not be able to return to normal, let alone bring Let them go to war.

Therefore, the Tatar grand master took the opportunity to announce that all the Tatars would have a carnival for three days and three nights, and then go out of the desert!

"Aw! Aw!" All the Tatars howled happily, and some Tatar nobles said in dissatisfaction: "It's a pity that there is no wine, and the carnival always lacks flavor."

How can such a trivial matter hinder the great Tatar grand master.Alutai smiled and said to the Tatar nobles: "Who said there is no wine?" He clapped his hands, and hundreds of Tatar soldiers brought out hundreds of jugs of fine wine.

The eyeballs of all the Tatar nobles almost stared down, and they all cried out: "Could it be that the grand master can do tricks?"

That Alutai was very proud, he laughed and said: "This is the fine wine that the old man hid here before the expedition, it was originally..." Alutai wanted to say that it was originally used to make 'celebration wine', but this Why can't I say this in this situation, I can only smile and say: "Forget it, don't mention it."

"Father, I didn't tell you that you hid this good thing, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Abu Ji'an complained.

"You know what a fart!" Alutai scolded: "In the first two days, everyone couldn't stand upright. The old man took out the wine and didn't drink all of them to death!" Speaking of this, Alutai admired himself, How can you be so knowledgeable?It's a pity that Abu just finished complaining, and ran to grab the wine in a hurry.

I was about to show off my knowledge of health preservation, but in the end, there was no audience, which made the old teacher very upset.

All the Tatar nobles could not care less about listening to the old master's bragging. One by one, they rushed to the side of the wine jar, smashed the mud seal, and poured violently into the mouth of the jar.For these alcoholics, not drinking for more than a month is more uncomfortable than killing them.

The big carnival began, and the laughter and shouts of the Tatars spread all over the oasis and the desert, and it has been spread for more than ten miles.Even those scouts who were on guard outside were attracted by the sound.

"What's going on in the back?" The scouts asked the same clan who had just come out of the oasis to change shifts.

"The Wuliangha people stole the way of the Ming army, and we are about to turn defeat into victory. The grand master ordered a carnival for three days, and even brought out the treasured wine!"

"Wine?" The scouts' eyes glowed green, and the wine worm in their stomachs scratched their hearts and lungs. How could they be on guard outside?I can't wait to go back and drink wine.

The scout, who happened to be able to go back to rest, walked away under the envious gazes of his colleagues. He still laughed and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, there is no wine left for you, is there no wine jar left?"

This remark caused all the scouts to worry, and they said anxiously: "What if we run out of wine when we go back?"

"Hey, anyway, the Ming army can't go to the desert to seek death. Why are we wandering around here and eating sand? Why don't we go back and drink!" There was a bold suggestion.

"It makes sense, I haven't even seen a person's hair these days." Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all echoed: "Hurry up and go back to drink!"

"Then who will be the vigilante?" There are also those whose sense of responsibility has not been wiped out by alcoholism.

"Let's go back to get the wine first, and then come back. Could it be that the Kung Fu Ming army has killed them at this moment?"As for whether he will come back after going back, only the longevity genius knows.

After finding an excuse for self-comfort, all the scouts ran away together... These guys rushed back to drink in a hurry, and no one noticed.In the distance, several khaki figures followed behind them...

Those figures didn't ride horses, and they were able to keep up with the speed of the cavalry with only two legs.Hanging behind the Tatar scouts and walking for more than a dozen miles, those men in khaki clothes and khaki masks obviously felt the air around them become humid. When they looked forward, a lush green came into view.

In the long yellow sand, the green was so dazzling that the men couldn't turn their eyes away. They touched the edge of the oasis carefully, only to realize that they didn't have to be so careful, because the Tartars only had wine in their eyes, so how could they pay attention? What extraneous things can you care about?
A few men lay down in the yellow sand, observed the oasis carefully, marked it on the map, and listened carefully to the few words from the oasis, and then tiptoed out again after confirming that they could not hear anything new .

After retreating out of the sight of the Tatars, they ran wildly and ran for more than ten miles until they came to a sandy nest.

In the Shawozi, there were a few men in the same attire who were waiting anxiously. Seeing them returning, the leader hurriedly tore off his face towel and asked, "How, have you found it?" It turned out to be Senior Brother Xin Yan.

"Well, I found it. It's fourteen miles to the northeast." Those people also tore off their masks, and the leader was Xin Ci. A masked man was waiting, with a few big mouths behind his forehand and backhand.

The masked man was beaten so badly that the mask was slapped off. It turned out to be Datai Jishi Niegan from Tatar. If you find it, you still want to smoke me?"

"It was you who drew it! Look at what you marked?" Xin Ci cursed and pointed at the map in Xin Yan's hand.

Xin Yan looked at the final location on the map, which was already more than ten miles away from the area circled by Shi Niegan, and couldn't help nodding: "It's really time to fight."

You know, the big circle drawn by Shi Niegan originally had a radius of two hundred miles. In the past few days, they have gone around in the desert with compassion and strictness. I've searched all over, but I can't find the oasis he mentioned!

For this matter, the monks slapped Shi Nirvana countless times, but if they couldn't find it, they couldn't find it, and it was useless to kill him.Seeing that the water and food are running out, the compassionate heart is not reconciled to returning without success like this, and wants to expand the scope of exploration, but Shi Niegan swears that the expansion scope will definitely not be found, and the oasis is there The range I circled may have been annihilated by the wind and sand...

It is also possible to be kind and strict. In this desert, the oasis is very fragile. If a sandstorm or a spring is cut off, the oasis will disappear without a trace in a few years.Just as he was about to go back to his mission helplessly, a monk found a piece of green horse manure!

This discovery made Xin Cixin Yan ecstatic. Their horses ate only bean cakes and hay, and their excrement was yellow.The green droppings must be from the Tatars, and the oasis is nearby!

Xinyan hurriedly ordered Xinci to lead people to search along the direction of the horse manure. Although the traces on the desert will soon be annihilated, the traces just left can still be traced!
Sure enough, after a short follow-up, they saw Tatar scouts... In fact, according to Alutai's instructions, the scouts should collect horse manure and bring them back to the oasis, so as not to leave any traces.On weekdays, the scouts did the same thing, but the minds of the scouts were all distracted by the wine, so they couldn't care about such trivial tasks, so the Ming army caught them.

.

Although it was June, the night in the grassland was very cold, and the sky in the north was filled with yellow clouds, as if a sandstorm was brewing.

The generals were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Although they didn't know the news that the soldiers' food roads were cut off and their retreat was cut off, they had already sent a large number of scouts to patrol the south. , The atmosphere in the barracks was extremely tense.

Even though they had never been on the battlefield before the expedition, after more than a month of hard work, the soldiers had already grown up rapidly.Through a series of unusual actions by the chief, many people have already noticed something.

In the camp, the soldiers of the Ming army who were fully armed and lying on the felt began to discuss in a low voice.

"It's a weird thing today. Even if we want to prevent sandstorms, what are we doing with our armor and strings on our bows?"

"It's true, and you sent a brigade of scouts to the south. Even if you send scouts, you should go north. What's the matter with going south?"

"I heard that during the day, more than 100 people escaped from the south, and all of them were wounded. Someone recognized them. They were the troops escorting the luggage..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tent who was still drowsy sat up in shock.

"Impossible, my brother is in the grain transportation team. They have a total of 5000 people. Who can move?"

"That's right, unless Aru Tai puts on his wings and flies around us and over us to the south, who else will be able to move the grain transport team?"

Everyone's first reaction was disbelief.But someone said quietly: "Then the food and grass should have arrived at the camp today, why is there no sign of it?"

"Speaking of which, starting from noon today, the rations have been reduced by half, and the dinner has been reduced to [-]%. Could it be that the food and grass cannot be delivered?"

"No wonder it made us hungry..." The scalps of the soldiers were numb, and panic appeared on more and more faces.

"Shut up!" At some point, a patrolling general, accompanied by a few thousand households, appeared at the tent door with a pale face.Those who yelled made these soldiers directly belong to Qianhu.Master Qianhu said angrily: "You dare to talk about the military situation, have you forgotten that military law is ruthless!"

All the soldiers hurriedly got up and kept silent, daring not to speak.

The general waved his hand to signal Qianhu not to get angry, and said in a deep voice to the soldiers: "Put your heart in your stomach, nothing happened." After finishing speaking, he turned and left without intending to punish the soldiers.The Qianhu breathed a sigh of relief, glared at the soldiers and said, "Lie down quickly, whoever talks nonsense, be careful that I cut off his tongue!"

All the soldiers were silent like cicadas, and hurriedly lay down obediently, waiting for the thousand households to chase after the general, but they couldn't help talking in a low voice...

This kind of scene was not an isolated case, but was staged everywhere in the camp. An atmosphere of uneasiness shrouded the camp. I am afraid that by dawn, rumors would have spread throughout the camp.
