Invincible son

Badlands, Southeast.

The three thousand cavalry of the Zangfeng Guards marched northward, swept seven tribes at an astonishing speed, and killed more than 2000 barbarians who tried to resist. The barbarians fled for their lives near the mountains of Kuta.

Wei Rui maximized the cavalry's long-distance raiding ability, and he had no intention of stopping at all.As the only general who knows Pei Yue's plan, he certainly knows that the decisive victory of this battle lies in the confrontation near the mountains of Kuta, but if he does not exert his full strength, the main force led by Pei Yue will face a very passive situation .

The Tai'an Guards stayed in Hunyuan County, Huazhou to frighten the frontier troops of the Xuanhua Camp. The Tibetan Front Guards had already penetrated into the wilderness, and supplies became very difficult.Once the barbarian army sticks to the mountain for a long time, the Zangfengwei can only rush in or withdraw, no matter which option is not acceptable to Pei Yue.

Fortunately, he completed the tasks assigned by Pei Yue very well, and more and more barbarian refugees flocked to the vicinity of the Kuta Mountains.

"General, where are we going next?" A commander approached and asked.

Sitting on his horse, Wei Rui looked to the north and asked calmly, "Have you found out where the Jiankun Department is?"

The leader shook his head guiltily and said, "Not yet. This tribe is very small, and all the people left behind are women and children. They have never left this place at all. They only know that the Jiankun tribe is in the north, but they don't know the exact location."

"north……"

Wei Rui frowned slightly, so vaguely pointing to find Jiankunbu is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.Although his surprise raid this time was very effective, there was also a difficulty, that is, most of the barbarian people with knowledge were near the Kuta Mountains, and few of the remaining people knew the direction and location of other tribes.

He was able to find the seven tribes, thanks to the guide sent by Ge Shuyi on the one hand, and some luck on the other hand.

However, the good luck came to an abrupt end today. After dealing with the small tribe not far away, they finally lost their target.

Without a guide to guide the way, it became extremely difficult to continue to implement Pei Yue's established strategy on the vast wasteland.

The commander hesitated for a moment, and persuaded: "General, we might as well go back the same way. The barbarians who were driven away earlier are enough to shake their morale. The people sent by Lord Hou also said that the barbarian army must not be able to hold on for a long time. Maybe a big war is about to break out now. , we will definitely help Lord Hou when we go back."

Wei Rui shook his head and murmured: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the barbarian army dares to come out of the mountain, the outcome will be determined. Our task is not only to assist the army, but also to find the location of the Jiankun tribe. Don't forget that the barbarians captured the border Thousands of Liang people, if they are not rescued as soon as possible, even killing all the barbarians will not help."

The commander said worriedly: "If we lose our way in the wilderness, the dry food we carry won't last long."

Wei Rui said calmly: "The food we robbed these days is enough for us to eat for a while. Even if we run out of food, it's okay. If the barbarians can survive here, so can we. Order the whole army to continue to the north, and send two teams of rangers at the same time Hundreds of people each, go forward ten miles towards the two wings, pay attention to keep in touch with the brigade."

"Yes!"

"Tell the soldiers that we can't find the old nest of the Jiankun tribe, and we can't save the looted people. Even if we die in the wasteland, we can't turn back!"

"Follow the order!"

The commander held his head high and raised his chest, and responded loudly.

……

Two days after Wei Rui decided to continue northward, in the heart of the wilderness, a ragged team was struggling to move forward.

Men accounted for the vast majority of the team, aged between 15 and 40, with a total of more than 2000 people, and their identities could be seen at a glance.These people are basically the people on the border of Daliang, and a very small number are soldiers of the border army station. They were kidnapped and plundered by the barbarians more than two months ago. They were first detained in the mountains of Kuta for a period of time, and then they were driven away by hundreds of barbarians like livestock. Go north.

During this period of time, they have endured inhuman torture. The barbarians only gave them rations that would not starve to death, and beat and kicked them if they hesitated.The common people couldn't resist the armored barbarians, they could only passively suffer in despair and helplessness. Everyone knew that what awaited them would be a slave-like future, but they couldn't see any hope.

Among the crowd, a young man with old scars on his face was calm, and his companions subconsciously surrounded him.

"Yang Ding, how is your injury?" Someone asked with concern.

The young man bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, and replied softly, "I'm fine. I'm almost fully recovered in the past two months. Don't worry, everyone."

Another person said angrily: "The barbarians are like beasts, they killed a few more people last night."

Yang Ding coughed a few times, pressed his chest and changed the topic: "Have you ever thought about why the barbarians locked us in those mountains first, and then forced us to go north?"

Everyone looked at him puzzled.

A look of guilt appeared in Yang Ding's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I have always had this doubt. The barbarians took us to the wasteland for nothing more than a few purposes. One is to turn us into their slaves, let us Do things for them. The two may want to use our abilities, after all, the barbarians are still in a very backward state. Whether it is farming or craftsmanship, we can drive us to do anything they can use, and we will die if we don’t do it.”

"Then why did they lock us up in the mountains?"

"At first, I only had a vague idea. I always felt that the barbarians had some conspiracy. After they forced us to go north, I remembered one thing. The mountains of Kuta are not very far from the border. As long as we dare to work hard, maybe we can Let one or two escape."

Speaking of this, Yang Ding coughed again, his eyeballs were bloodshot.

There are frontier soldiers and courageous people around him. Although the total number is only about 30, they have become extremely united in the difficult life of more than two months.

In fact, more than half a month ago, there were more than that many of them. However, more than a hundred people were killed in the riot that night, and only Zhang De escaped in the end.

As Yang Ding mentioned this matter again, the companions around him gradually came to their senses, and their faces became very ugly.

If the riot that night was a trap set by the barbarians, wouldn't it mean that there were barbarians' insiders among them?Otherwise, the opponent would not deliberately keep them near the mountains of Kuta until the Daliang army entered the wasteland before forcing them to go north to the barbarian's lair.

A person next to him gritted his teeth and said, "I said why the guards of the barbarians were so lax that night, and no one chased Zhang De when we fled south."

"I also remembered it. It was indeed the case. At that time, I thought he was running fast."

"How could there be such a hateful beast! Why did he betray us?"

"No, he didn't just betray us. He must have been bought by the barbarians a long time ago, otherwise he wouldn't have urged everyone to run away together at night. Yang Ding didn't agree to take the risk at that time, but an idiot like me was still on the side of that beast. If everyone If you listen to Yang Ding, you won't let that bastard succeed!"

"Oops! If that guy Zhang De is really an internal agent of the barbarians, then our army won't fall for it?"

Everyone is full of remorse.

Yang Ding shook his head and said, "No, I'm sure the army didn't fall for it."

He paused slightly, glanced at the silently advancing team and the arrogant barbarians outside, and said softly: "But we really can't continue going north."
