Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 705 Continuing to Deteriorate ([-])

Time: December 21st of the third year of Yuanhe in the Tang Dynasty, that is, at noon three days later when Hu Biao and others were attacked by horse bandits for the first time.

Location: Near the famous Flame Mountain in later generations.

After seeing a layer of white snow accumulated on the top of the red mountain in the bitter cold wind, it was like a magical scene where snow and fire blended.

After the old snake spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva with a bah~ sound.

With a very depressed tone, he cursed out: "What the hell! What kind of shit is this?"

The reason why the old snake spit out a mouthful of blood was because in the battle a day ago, he was hit by a barbarian with a stick on his left cheek.

Even on his head at that time, not only was he wearing a plush hat, but he was also protected by the ear protection of a stainless steel helmet.

Letting that stick hit the ear pads of the helmet immediately offset a lot of tunnels.

Unfortunately, that barbarian who shot before he died, wishing to squeeze out the last bit of strength in his body.

The leftover force of the stick in his hand also knocked out three of his teeth, and made his entire left face swell up.

After a day and a night, the swelling has subsided a little bit now.

So much so that there is a mouthful of blood in his mouth from time to time, which makes people very depressed.

However, such a little pediatric injury would not make the old snake, who had suffered various injuries in many missions in the past, mind too much.

After all, up to now, there are only a few rookies in the team who have been treated favorably.

Members of other teams, even senior veterans like Hu Biao, suffered more or less injuries.

Although thanks to everyone's rich combat experience, they basically avoided the vital points when they were attacked, so none of them were fatal injuries.

But even so, it still had some impact on everyone's combat effectiveness.

Of course, in order to cause these injuries to them, a group of Hu people also paid an astonishing price; at least 300 people died at their hands.

Originally, there were no road signs on this road, but since Hu Biao and his convoy passed, there are already clear road signs.

Every not too long distance, there will be many white bones on the ground.

These are the Hu people who were killed by Hu Biao and the others, and then the corpses were eaten by hungry beasts such as wolves.

If one looked down from a high altitude, one could see piles of bones connected in a long straight line for a distance of only a few hundred miles.

For future generations, these things are some extremely conspicuous signposts.

As long as you follow these bones all the way, there will not be a saying that lost your way in the vast Gobi Desert.

It's a pity that after Hu Biao and the others killed so many people, there were still a steady stream of barbarians coming towards the convoy.

The reason is that the rewards offered by the Tubo people are too generous, enough to make these barbarians fall into madness with red eyes.

The only thing that can be thankful is that these Hu people from various tribes, in order to enjoy such a reward for themselves; not only did they not unite, they were quite wary of each other, and even a small-scale fire broke out.

If they were really united, the current situation of the netizens would only get worse.

It's just that compared to the injuries on the body and the crazy attack of the barbarians, the thing that is causing everyone more headaches is another aspect.

That is all the way forward, to the Flame Mountain.

After the legendary Iron Fan Princess and Bull Demon King were absent, the convoy had already encountered more than a dozen battles along the way, and encountered a new trouble:
According to Yu Hanfeng and Ye Bushou, after a mile or two, there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground in the vast Gobi.

The reason for this is because of the special geographical environment here.

In winter, it will also snow, and the lowest temperature can reach minus [-] degrees, but compared with other areas in the Western Regions, the amount of snow is far from insufficient.

So there is the current situation, which is not expected before:

The snow on the ground is too thin, not enough for the snow sledges in the convoy to drive quickly on it...

******
Talk!Facing the lack of snow in the Huoyanshan area, at this time, it would not make everyone abandon the team immediately.

Now there are two ways for them to deal with the current bad situation.

On the one hand, if you make a circle around the Gobi in front of you, there is still enough snow for the sledge to slide on it.

Only in this way, they will travel more than 300 miles.

At least a day and a half, or even two days of precious time would need to be wasted.

And in these two days, I don't know how many barbarians who heard the news in the future, or even more threatening pursuers would come up to chase and kill them.

You know, Hu Biao and the others have gone through more than a dozen battles so far, but all of them are Hu people.

I don't know what's going on, the Tubo army has never appeared, and I don't know what bad tricks they are holding back.

So such an option, after everyone thinks about it, instinctively rejects it, not wanting to waste a day or two of precious time.

On the other hand, it is to modify these carriages immediately.

To be more specific, in fact, these wolf greens ate twenty or thirty catties of beef and mutton in one night, and they almost didn't make themselves vomit.

Finally, the consumption needs of the intelligent auxiliary chip in the brain were met, and the snow sled designed thus was of course not a simple thing.

In addition to being stronger and lighter, it has the advantage of being able to quickly assemble some shelters.

In fact, through the wheels and bearings it carries, it can be turned into a two-wheeled carriage that drives on wheels and has the advantages of simple shock absorbers and ball bearings.

It's just such a modification that takes three hours of everyone's time.

And driving on the Gobi Desert full of stone roads, the speed of the convoy will be reduced by at least one-third, or even more.

In short, neither option seems to be a good choice, and people don't want to choose it.

But behind them, there were faint traces of barbarian sentries, and no one knew when they would attack like vultures again.

One must be chosen quickly, and there is no further delay.

In the end, the decision-making power for such a matter naturally fell on Hu Biao, a deadbeat; everyone instinctively turned their eyes to this commander.

After hesitating for a minute, Hu Biao gritted his teeth and roared out:

"Lang Qing, Lao Tie, take half of you and hurry up to modify the car; the rest of you will follow me, kill the carbine first, and kill the barbarian spies behind."

After the voice fell, Hu Biao, who didn't know what he thought of, added another sentence: "That's right! Little boy, you stay and help, don't participate in the battle."

After hearing such a sentence, Xiao Bai's face revealed a bitter smile.

Talk!In order to integrate into the team as soon as possible and earn enough system points, he not only works very hard at ordinary times, but also takes the lead in every battle.

The problem is, although he hasn't been engaged in a job like that of a rich woman for more than ten days.

However, the kidney loss that severely damaged his vitality could not be recovered so easily. When shooting arrows, his hands were shaking quite violently.

It wasn't yesterday, it was almost a disaster.

Mingming squinted his eyes and aimed at a barbarian, but after he let go, the sharp arrow that he called out with a stone step bow went far away.

Not only did he not hit the target, but he almost hit the back of Hu Biao's head, causing the guy to scold him for a long time with lingering fear.

After Hu Biao finished speaking, he ran towards the nearest war horse.

At such a time, the horses in the convoy could be clearly seen, and there were still more than a hundred of them in number.

But except for the system horses of Feng Rui, Yu Hanfeng, AT, and Zhan Xiang, the other horses have lost a lot of weight compared to when they set off from Qiucha City.

no way!These war horses consume too much...
