Eight Thousand Iron Buddha at the Start, Please Make Concessions to the First Emperor!

"A..."

In the desert, the wind swept the fine sand and gravel, extending a trail of traces on the sand dunes, spreading towards the distance.

The 100,000 iron cavalry was stretched into a long black belt and marched in the desert. Zhang Han, who thought that the Xiongnu grasslands were barren, now saw the desert, and only then did he realize that there is such a barren land in this world.

"..."

One of the personal guards riding on Zhang Han's side had cracked lips, and his face was red. Looking at the sea buckthorn on the desert in the distance, he couldn't help swallowing.

The only green in the desert always reminded him of the rustling, refreshing and refreshing water.

Most of the rest of the people were like this, and they were all thirsty. Even though it was winter now, it was still extremely hot in this desert.

"How far is it from the next source of water?"

Zhang Han, whose beard and hair were fluttering, looked at the sergeant Ren Xiao sent to act as a guide beside him, and asked.

The sergeant tried his best to widen his eyes and looked around, but then he shook his head.

"General, there are no stars in the desert during the day, it's really difficult for your subordinates to judge..."

Zhang Han couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, the sun has just risen above his head, do you have to wait until night to know where there is a water source?

Then Zhang Han ordered people to bring two other people, a herdsman from the Wusun clan and a businessman from the Da Yue clan.

"Do you two know the location of this place?"

The face of the herdsman and businessman was black and red due to the constant exposure to the sun. Hearing Zhang Han's question, he quickly looked around.

After a while, the two shook their heads, and the answer was exactly the same as Ren Xiao's personal guard. They didn't know the specific direction until night in the desert.

Zhang Han glanced at Sergeant Da Qin behind him, but had no choice but to move on.

When the last rays of the setting sun disappeared at the end of the sky and the earth, the night of the desert came.

During the day, the desert was hot as if it was on fire, but at night it suddenly became cold. Zhang Han followed the sergeant's words and asked people to dig some holes in the desert.

Zhang Han, who had returned to the sand dunes, called the sergeant and asked again. This time, the sergeant quickly gave an answer.

"Ten miles to the northwest of here, there is an above-ground river, which is enough for 100,000 soldiers and war horses to solve their urgent needs..."

The next day, the bright moon was still hanging high in the sky, and Da Qin's army set off.

After entering the desert, Zhang Han also knew some of the laws of the desert. This march is only best in the morning and evening. If the sun rises, it will make people feel dizzy and dizzy.

And at night, it doesn't take long for the sky and the earth to suddenly become cold, even colder than in winter.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on the desert, dyeing the gravel silver, and the 100,000 troops of Daqin marched non-stop.

About an hour later, fish maw white appeared on the horizon, and an above-ground river finally appeared in front of Zhang Han's eyes. Although the water flow was not much, it was enough to solve the current thirst.

Ten days later, through Zhao Tuo's method of fetching water into the desert and the small river, the underground river, Daqin's army finally arrived at the foot of Loulan City.

"Open the gates!"

When Li Xin on the huge stone city wall saw Zhang Han's 100,000 cavalry arriving, he couldn't help but look happy.

He had been waiting in Loulan for more than a few months, and finally Zhang Han and the 100,000 cavalry came. With these cavalry, Da Qin could finally continue his westward expedition.

 …      

Daqin's mighty 100,000 iron cavalry soon entered Loulan City, and then stationed at the foot of the mountain of Loulan Capital City.

And Li Xin and Zhang Han came to the top of the mountain.

"General Zhang Han, from Loulan to the southwest is Ruoqiang, and if you continue from Ruoqiang, it will be the end of the world, a place of perfection."

"From this point to the northwest are Yanqi, Qiuci, Gumo, Yutou, Dawan and other countries..."

Li Xin arrived in the Western Regions earlier than Zhang Han. During these months, although Li Xin did not send troops, he was not idle. He let the spies dress up as merchants from Loulan and went to many countries in the Western Regions.

.0

Therefore, he also has a general understanding of the Western Regions. Coupled with the world map drawn by Zhao Tuo before, Li Xin now has an idea for the offensive route.

Zhang Han looked at the boundless yellow sand in the distance and talked about Zhao Tuo's order.

Li Xin learned that His Majesty wanted to attack Ruoqiang first, and at the end, he agreed very much.

From Loulan to the western region, there are only two best routes. His Majesty chose the one closer to the south. The environment is milder than the north, and it is also the route that Li Xin prefers.

"In that case, let's go to the army as soon as possible.

Zhang Han looked at Li Xin and said that it was not an easy matter for the 100,000 Great Qin sergeants to survive in the Western Regions, and the subsequent supply of food and forage was not a simple matter. Moreover, in this desert, the weather was too different between day and night. more tired.

"Three days later, at the same time send troops Ruoqiang, let's go!"

Li Xin and Zhang Han quickly made up their minds, and then Daqin's army began to prepare. The people of Loulan looked at Daqin's army and war horses, and the scene of Loulan's defeat could not help in their minds.
