"It's over! The Han people have discovered us! We can't hide it anymore!"

After Gan Feng arrived at the Ancient Great Wall of Yan State and continued to explore north, the Ding Ling people finally couldn't help it anymore and became somewhat panicked.

Since last autumn, the Ding Ling people have entered a state of division. The panic caused by natural disasters has not been completely transferred because of the external war. Instead, it has been caused by the manpower taken away by the war and the emptiness caused by it.

So much fear and helplessness.

There is no doubt that the leader of the Ding Ling people led his troops all the way to Liaodong to attack the city and conquer the stronghold. They ate the flesh and blood on the bones of Gongsun Jun and enjoyed the meal happily. Naturally, those Ding Ling people did not need to worry too much about their survival.

, after all, no matter how incompetent Gongsun Du was, the Han people's natural habit of accumulation would benefit these Ding Ling people in the Eastern Expedition.

But the question is what about these Ding Ling people who stayed in place?

In this era of logistics, there is no such thing as next-day delivery. Even if you really want to cut off a piece of Liaodong's harvest and transport it back to the desert, you don't have to think about it in just a few months.

That is to say, unless the Ding Ling people dispatched the transportation team at the beginning of the year, the Ding Ling people who are left behind at the moment should not think about any additional supplements.

At the same time, what is even more troublesome is that among the Ding Ling people who stayed behind, they once again split into the Western Expeditionary Army.

The reason for the Western Expeditionary Army is that they are all people from the desert, and the expedition to the land of White Water and Black Mountain has lost the tradition of the desert, just like evil heretics...

Well, this kind of difference of opinion is actually quite normal.

Because there is no essential difference between Dingling and Xiongnu, Xianbei, etc., they are still a collection of nomadic tribes in the desert, and among these nomadic tribes, some came from Baishui and Black Mountain.

Of course, I don’t have any big objections to going back, but some people have lived in the desert for generations and feel that leaving the desert is a kind of blasphemy.

Even in later generations, there is still a tradition that women in the desert grasslands do not marry far away.

Of course, other Han provinces also have similar customs. The reasons for not marrying or marrying someone from a certain township, county, or even province are different.

Under the combined effects of complicated and failed timely and effective communication, as well as the weak control of Ding Ling people and the failure to form a strong sense of belonging, the Ding Ling people inevitably split up and started to embark on a new journey.

Following the old path of Xianbei, it was split into three parts: the east, the middle, and the west, each of which had its own subordinates and disliked each other.

The Dingling people in the west went west. At this point in time, they met Zhang He and other migrating tribes from Rouran and Jiankun, and a fight broke out. However, because of the vast desert area, the message transmission was lagging behind, including the Dingling people in the central part, and Zhao Yungan.

Feng and others still don’t know the specific situation.

Those in the eastern part of Ding Ling are enjoying the fruits of victory in Liaodong and have not yet considered supplying the Ding Ling tribe in the middle. Therefore, the Ding Ling tribe in the middle is now very embarrassed.

On the one hand, foreign wars, whether it was the Eastern Expedition or the Western Expedition, gave the central Ding Ling people more space and reduced the pressure to survive. But on the other hand, the eastern and western expedition tribes also caused the Ding Ling people to be very divided.

After all, the Dingling people in the central part are more of a relatively weak tribe that is unwilling to leave. Therefore, their combat effectiveness and total population have greatly declined, and there are even empty areas in some places.

Under such circumstances, Gan Feng, a somewhat simple-minded guy, wanted to find the traces of the Ding Ling people. Instead, he pierced the window paper on this layer, directly exposing the weak state of the Ding Ling people.

…

Perhaps in order to maintain the hard-earned status of the Ding Ling people and protect their secrets from being revealed, the Ding Ling people began to attack Gan Feng and others one after another from the moment Gan Feng led his soldiers away from the ancient city wall of Yan State and continued northward.

People put pressure and tests.

At the beginning, Ding Ling's scouts approached Gan Feng's queue cautiously, but then they were scared away by the "enthusiastic" Gan Feng rushing out...

But as we continue to go north, the number of Dingling people gradually increases.

If he had followed normal thinking, Ganfeng should have retreated at that moment.

There is no news from Liaodong and the western section of the desert that can be directly transmitted here. Even Zhao Yun is not very clear about the specific distribution of Ding Ling people in the desert. After seeing the increase in the concentration of Ding Ling people, who knows whether there will be more in the future.

An ambush of many Ding Ling people? Although Ding Ling people, like the Xiongnu and Xianbei, have no systematic military tactics, they also have tactics passed down by word of mouth, and luring the enemy with a small force is their most common method.

This was not over yet. As evening approached, the number of scouts sent out by the Ding Ling people had reached as many as four to five hundred, so that Gan Feng almost had to mobilize all the troops to drive away these Ding Ling scouts, or rather small troops.

After all, Gan Feng was only conducting long-distance reconnaissance and patrolling, not leading an army to attack. His troops were only three to four hundred people.

However, Gan Feng, a reckless man, felt that the current scene was not exciting enough and could not fully stimulate his adrenaline. Simply put, his fun soul could not be satisfied...

So Gan Feng didn't back down at all, and even longed for a more intense battle to come!

"Xiao Wang, your plan has been seen through by the Han people."

When the Ding Ling people marched eastwards, it was the big king who left, and of course the little king was left behind.

Little King Ding Ling was also very uncomfortable. How could he not know the current situation? They were just bluffing, like big bubbles blown open. They looked colorful and huge, but as long as the other party was not afraid at all, before greeting

If you want to give it a try...

This bubble will burst in an instant!

"We must evacuate!"

A tribal leader said, he said to Xiao Wang Ding Ling in a deep voice, "We must withdraw, otherwise we will have a big problem! Xiao Wang, you have to know, if... As for the cattle and sheep, I will let my sons retreat."

half!"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The tribal leader is still very contractual. After he felt that he could not complete Xiao Wang's mission, he immediately expressed his intention to return the cattle and sheep he had received before. Well

, of course they can only withdraw half, after all, they did go out, right?

Xiao Wang looked at him: "What if we add a thousand sheep? Are you willing to help me one last time?"

The tribal leader thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "You can have fewer cattle and sheep, but you can't have fewer tribesmen... I promised the women in the tribe that they would bring back all their husbands, fathers and brothers, one by one."

We can’t lose any more. Xiao Wang, you know, under the white disaster and black disaster, our people can’t be left behind..."

"No need to die, it's still just walking the horse." Xiao Wang raised his head and stared at the tribe leader, "It's just walking the horse...and after walking the horse, not only you will go, but we will also go! No one will be left behind!"

』

So, by the time Gan Feng and others discovered the abnormality, the Ding Ling people had already evacuated from Caodianzi where they were originally stationed.

A strange feeling began to spread.

Gan Feng frowned, confused.

Especially when he saw various remaining traces on the meadow...

An old soldier jumped off his horse, then walked to a pile of horse dung, grabbed a piece, and rubbed it with his fingers. "It's not completely dry yet... I probably just walked for a day or two..."

"Gone?" Gan Feng still frowned, "Why?"

Gan Feng's deputy leader stepped forward and said: "There may be a trap."

The nomadic peoples on the grassland, starting from the time of the Xiongnu, have been good at luring enemies and ambushes, and now that they are going deep into the northern desert, they should be more careful and vigilant.

"I think..." Gan Feng pinched his chin and thought, "There is no trap."

"Why?" the team leader asked, "Is it just a feeling? General Zhao said that if it is just a feeling, it cannot be the basis for supporting action."

Gan Feng waved his arms a little irritably, "I know this!"

In order to prevent Gan Feng from getting hot-headed and losing control when he was leading the team alone, Zhao Yun specially assigned Gan Feng with a deputy. He also gave the deputy a certain amount of authority to prevent Gan Feng from acting impulsively.

Looking at the deputy's look like "If you don't find strong evidence, don't try to convince me," Gan Feng also had a headache. He didn't know if it was because of an instinct for war, or some kind of hormone molecule, but he felt that

There may be something wrong among Ding Ling people, but he couldn't find any strong evidence to explain this at the moment.

"General Gan, before setting off this time, General Zhao repeatedly emphasized..." The deputy's voice was lowered, "So I think it's better to be more cautious, otherwise something will really happen... General Gan wants to lead the team alone next time...

…』

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Ganfeng waved his hand, "I know! I know!"

It was not easy for Gan Feng to lead the team alone this time.

Because Gan Feng's character and Zhao Yun's are completely in two different directions.

Zhao Yun is cautious by nature, and would rather be safe than make one mistake. But for Gan Feng, taking risks is the way to go, and only then can he have the adrenaline rush of being on the gambling table...

Therefore, this time Zhao Yun promised Gan Feng to lead the troops alone and judge the marching route and corresponding strategies on his own. It has been a long time since Zhao Yun took care of Gan Feng. Otherwise, according to Zhao Yun's habit, unstable elements like Gan Feng

, it would be better to stay with Zhao Yun from beginning to end.

"It's a deception, but it's definitely not an ambush!" Gan Feng said helplessly. This is how he felt, "You know... if they want to fight, they will... or something... they are very fierce,

Yes, the kind that are very fierce. They can also hold back their evil when setting up an ambush, and they can endure their ferocity... It's like a wolf staring at you from a distance... But now I don't think they are ferocious at all, more like dogs, you know?

?Dogs! and wolves!』

Gan Feng gestured with his hands, trying to make his words more convincing, "This is a dog! This is not a wolf! This...can you understand?"

"..." The deputy leader was silent for a while, "I don't understand."

"Hi!" Gan Feng covered his forehead.

The deputy looked at Gan Feng, and then said: "It is better to be safe. If we don't fight this time, there will be a next time. But if we don't fight this time... then there will be no next time... In this way, General Gan can

Understand?"

"Uh... thieves! Thieves, thieves, thieves!" Gan Feng stamped his feet, let out a breath of air, then cursed angrily, turned around and left, "Thieves, let's go!"

Across a distant grassy slope, Scout Ding Ling, who was lying on the ground with half of his face exposed behind the grass, watched the banners of the Han cavalry flying high and jumping, and his heart could not help but beat wildly.

Those Han people's armors, cloaks, as well as those swords, guns and flags, even the simplest arrows, are so full of power that the Ding Ling people feel envious and fearful...

Why don’t the Ding Ling people have such elite armor and weapons?

Scout Ding Ling couldn't understand, but if everyone in Ding Ling had such a weapon, then they would definitely be able to follow the nomadic tactics without fear, whether it was cavalry cavalry charging and shooting, or directly charging with a knife, instead of

Like now, he is like a mouse in the grass.

"Let's go."
