When I camped tomorrow night, the sky was filled with stars. In the second half of the night, the wind suddenly changed. The dark clouds covered the sky, but there was no trace of wind. The weather in mid-April actually felt stuffy. When the camp was pulled in the morning, the rain finally drizzled, and the road seemed muddy, but it swept away the heat.

The cavalry team of more than 2,000 people was divided into three sections. More than 100 cavalry in front serve as vanguards, and about two miles away from the brigade. Five hundred cavalry in the back are broken. More than 1,000 cavalry in the middle protect the brigade's camel horse, chariot and carriage, advanced towards the depths of the desert in the rain.

"Girl, have you really made a decision?" In the carriage, Yao Qian didn't want to give up his last effort. In his opinion, he marched into the depths of the desert, intending to cross the sea of ​​death that even the Mongols had not crossed, just an march without returning.

The Hongniang looked at Yao Qian without saying anything, but the determination in her eyes made Yao Qian sigh silently.

"If you are in a good health and want to do anything, Uncle Yao doesn't want to say much. You have grown up, but how can you do now? After a while, you will find it difficult to walk, and you don't even think about riding a horse. How could you last through this distance?"

"Uncle Yao, are you worried about me or the children in my belly?" Hongniang asked back.

Anger appeared slightly on Yao Qian's face, but it flashed away, "Girl, I'm worried."

The sound of a three-eyed tiger sounded outside the carriage: "Miss Red, the whistleblower found a cavalry suspected of horse bandits miles ahead, and they were gathering. What should I do?"

“How many people?”

“About hundreds of rides!”

"Destroy them, rob their supplies, and search carefully. These people must have a water source distribution map of hundreds of miles nearby!" said Hongniangzi.

"Okay!" Three-eyed Tiger replied excitedly.

After a while, the sound of horse hooves outside suddenly became dense, and about a thousand cavalry left the brigade and accelerated forward.

"Girl, think about it again. It is dangerous and unpredictable above the desert. Not to mention anything else, these horse bandits alone can consume a lot of your strength. Although the Meng people surrendered to Yun Zhao, there are always some unruly people who have formed gangs and gangs in the desert. Can you kill them all the way?"

"Of course I can finish the killing!" The Hong Madam said coldly, "Uncle Yao, you don't have to say anything, I'm determined. You follow me, I know you have good intentions, but if you still talk so much, I will drive you away."

Yao Qian immediately closed his mouth. The road chosen by Hong Niangzi was not only long, but also dangerous. If a woman like her had no experience in giving birth, she would really not know what would end if she had not followed her as a doctor. She was too strong and did what she said and said a few more words. She would really drive herself away when she started to speak.

The carriage drove up a sand dune, and violent fighting and shouts came from the front. Yao Qian opened the car window and looked at the dune. There, the cavalry, led by Sanyan Tiger and Wan Jinji, were chasing a group of unclothed horse bandits. Although there were hundreds of horse bandits, they had no power to fight back in front of this cavalry.

This cavalry was originally used by Yun Zhao as a guard for Hong Niangzi. Since this cavalry did not have much combat experience at that time and could not be an elite army, Yun Zhao gave them excellent equipment. Anything that Yun Zhao's personal guard battalion had, this cavalry unit also had lightweight steel armor, which was lighter than iron armor, but had much better protection performance. The continuous cavalry crossbows, longbows, and armor-breaking arrows that had suffered great losses in close combat were all available. After this cavalry arrived at Hong Niangzi, more than a hundred old horse bandits joined. In the past two years, this cavalry team that had been staying in Yingzui Rock had been reborn. Although the horse bandits on the opposite side were also fierce, they were still only able to be cut and killed in the face of the absolute gap in strength.

The five hundred cavalry who had broken the rear chased after him and immediately joined the hunt. Their joining caused the battle to end soon. Except for a few horse bandits who escaped desperately, the rest were all lying on the battlefield within a few miles. Wan Jinji commanded everyone to clean the battlefield, and searched for it thoroughly, which made Yao Qian blush, but he knew that this was necessary. The future was uncertain, and it would be good to accumulate more supplies.

"Miss Red, a total of four hundred horse-riding bandits were destroyed, but unfortunately, more than a dozen escaped. We died twenty brothers and injured dozens of people. But we had hundreds of good war horses, as well as some food and water."

After hearing that dozens of people were injured, Yao Qian couldn't sit still and opened the car door and walked down.

Looking at Yao Qian's busy back, the three-eyed tiger said, "With Yao Qian here, these injured brothers will not be seriously injured. I didn't like this old guy before, but now it's much better. If you can follow us, this guy is still our Yingzhu Rock man."

The matchmaker was silent for a moment and said, "Bury the brothers who died in battle, and keep moving forward!"

"Yes, Miss Hong!" The three-eyed tiger nodded, "But Miss Hong, I'm a little worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"Since we broke up with Yardan and Wu Fan, they have not made any noise. I suspect that they must have reported the situation here to Yun Zhao. If Yun Zhao chased him up, what should we do? If Yun Zhao doesn't come, we will be easy to deal with the others. Once Yun Zhao comes, I'm afraid that this cavalry will not belong to us and they will definitely mutiny." Sanyan Hu said with a frown.

"Yun Zhao will definitely chase him. But don't worry, when he comes, I will deal with him. You just need to hurry up!" said the Hongniang.

Three-eyed Tiger glanced at Hongniang's belly, but she stopped talking. She thought to herself that you were fine, and you might not be able to beat Yun Zhao now, let alone how to deal with Yun Zhao now with a big belly? She didn't say this. Three-eyed Tiger believed that if she really asked, the answer would be a whip.

One day later, Yun Zhao's personal guard camp appeared on this battlefield.

"Prince, it seems that General Yan's troops fought with these horse bandits here. Looking at the dead bodies on the ground, the horse bandits seemed to have been destroyed. There was a tomb over there, which might be soldiers killed by General Yan's subordinates." After inspecting the battlefield, Wu Fan walked to Yun Zhao, "These horse bandits should have been wiped out a day ago, which means that we can catch up with them tomorrow at most."

Yun Zhao nodded, "The brothers who died in battle are also brothers of our Zhengbei Army. They dug out their bodies, cremated them on the spot, and brought the ashes back to Xingling."

"yes!"

More than twenty corpses were quickly dug out, and their armor had been taken off, and they were only wearing underwear, and they lay neatly in the tomb. The guards in the personal guard camp couldn't help but feel sad.

The fire was quickly set up, and the corpses were plastered one by one, poured on grease, and in an instant, the fire started to burn.

"Wu Fan, it is difficult to completely wipe out the opponent in the desert. Someone will definitely escape. This place is far away from the control of our Northern Expedition Army. There are many horse bandits and they have connections with each other. A horse gang is not scary, but if several horse gangs unite, it cannot be underestimated. Send a sentry cavalry to expand the search range. If someone escapes from this battle, they will definitely gather more people to retaliate. There are many scattered soldiers left in this desert, and there are many talented people."

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Wu Fan gave a tribute and hurriedly ran to make arrangements.

Yun Zhao turned around and looked at Yardan standing quietly beside the war horse, "You don't have to follow me. Can your body bear it when running like this long distance?"

Yardan smiled slightly, "The prince forgot that I grew up on this desert. Riding horses was the skill I knew when I was a few years old. Although I don't know martial arts, I am not a weak person."

"Do you have any information on the horse bandits on this desert?" Yun Zhao asked.

"This place has begun to enter the heart of the desert. It is indeed a place where horse bandits are rampant. In the past, our Mongolians have also suppressed the terrain many times, but these people are familiar with the terrain here and have no trace. It is difficult to eliminate them. Now I am afraid that they will have greater power." Yaerdan said.

Yun Zhao nodded, "When the Mongolians joined the North Envoy Army, there are always some stubborn people who refuse to submit, which is also a common thing. Well, since this trip is here, killing some of these evil spirits, which can always calm the desert for a while. There should be your people above the desert, right?"

"It should be that the migration order has been issued, but many herders who originally lived in the depths of the desert always need to travel thousands of miles to the north."

"When they arrive in the north, life will be much better!" Yun Zhao said with a smile. "This desert is not a place where people should stay."

"But we stayed for hundreds of years!" Looking at the deserted sand dunes, Yaldan's eyes suddenly blurred. The sufferings of his predecessors are vivid and unforgettable. In order to break free from this desert, the Meng people have been going on for hundreds of years, and they don't know how many people have died, but no one expected that they would finally get rid of this desert in the same way as they are now.

Seeing Yaerdan crying and his body trembling, Yun Zhao couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and he reached out to hold Yaerdan's shoulder, "It's over, everything is over, Mengren and Yue people will not be beaten to death, and in the future, they will be a family, sharing weal and woe, prospering and losing. Although so many people died in order to achieve this goal, it is always worth it. Later people will be grateful for the efforts and sacrifices of their predecessors."

Yaerdan was in a state of great excitement and leaned his head against Yun Zhao's broad chest, but still couldn't help but burst into tears.

The ashes of the soldiers who died in battle were carefully received in their skins, but no one knew what their surname was. When they returned to Xingling, they could not give them to their families, so they could only be stored in Xingling's Heroes Hall.
