Chapter 700: Seizing Xizhou

It is clearly the daytime, but the sun is covered with yellow sand, but now it is like night.

I reached out my hand and the strong wind blew the sand on my skin, which was a severe pain like a needle prick.

Wang Xuance, who was drinking hot water, said: "Didn't those Tubo people say that the wind and sand will not blow to the Gobi Desert here?"

Li Ke leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes and whispered: "What's wrong with the weather here."

After checking the map drawn, Wang Xuance carefully placed it aside.

After eating some food and drinking hot water, my body feels much more comfortable.

Sleeping, sitting next to the fire, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

I don’t know how long I slept, but when I woke up again, it was very hot outside.

In the Gobi desert, it will become cold after losing the sun.

With the sunshine, it will make people feel unbearable.

Li Ke rode his horse back and said, "The landforms nearby have changed a lot. Fortunately, there is this compass, otherwise I will really lose my direction."

The Gobi Desert has been flooded with sand, and many of its original landform characteristics are invisible.

Wang Xuance also took out his compass, which was made by the children of the academy in Jingyang.

The two confirmed the direction, checked the direction correctly, and then continued to go to the direction of Xizhou.

When you arrive in Xizhou, you will have a water source, and the group can also get supplies.

Although it should be winter now, the desert is still very hot.

As we were walking, a bunch of corpses appeared along the way.

Li Ke squatted down and looked at it and said, "It should be the corpse of the Tubo and Western Turks when they fought a war a long time ago."

Wang Xuance also remembered that Tubo and the Western Turks did have several wars near Xizhou in order to compete for Xizhou.

It seems that the wind and sand blow these corpses over.

If the team pauses for a moment, they still need to continue moving forward.

Wang Xuance looked at the map, then at the compass and said, "We should have two days left to Xizhou."

Li Ke looked at the vast desert and said to the team behind him: "Everyone is so energetic that there will be supplies in two days."

In response to Li Ke, the team was moving forward quietly.

Everyone was already very tired.

Wang Xuance wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened the water bag and drank a sip of water.

There is no enough water and food in the team.

I don't know how many days I haven't taken a shower.

At this moment, I really want a river to appear in front of me, so I jumped down to take a shower.

The team walked for another day and found a low slope to rest at night.

After the wind and sand, even wild animals could not be found.

Everyone ate the cake, took a sip of water and rested.

Wang Xuance ate the cake, and the cake was very dry and it made his throat feel uncomfortable every time he swallowed it.

It's like swallowing tree bark.

I dare not drink too much water to help swallow.

In order to fill your stomach, I had to swallow it, and I didn't know if it was swallowed.

I just felt that it wasn't enough to reach my stomach and my throat was down.

Almost everyone is so full of energy.

Li Ke also noticed that the atmosphere in the team is very bad now.

Fortunately, no one was injured or lost.

I counted the number of people again and found that no one was lost and then I felt relieved.

Li Ke came over and said to Wang Xuance: "We have already rested."

Wang Xuance kept looking at the map and said, "If you understand, you should be able to go to Xizhou."

Li Ke also said: "I have arranged for someone to go out for investigation. News should be coming tomorrow morning."

There is also a call from the wind.

It's just not as loud as before.

The genius was just a little bright, and the most comfortable period in the Gobi Desert was the early morning.

Not too cold or too hot.

The team that had slept for an hour or two marched again.

The scout rode his horse and said, "His Royal Highness, Xizhou City is three miles away in front of him, but there are some situations."

Hearing that Xizhou was right in front, Li Ke was relieved and asked: "What's wrong with Xizhou City?"

The scout replied: "Xizhou City seems to be controlled by a group of bandits. The opponent's defense is very strict, and many people have been arrested."

After hearing this, Li Ke nodded, "Just find Xizhou."

The news immediately passed to everyone in the team.

When everyone heard that they had found Xizhou, they were also excited.

What's wrong with fighting for water sources?

After walking for another half a day, one mile away from Xizhou City.

From here you can see the city in the distance at a glance.

The city is a very small and short city.

Wang Xuance observed and said, "The city wall is only one person high, and their posts look very loose, and it is unclear how many people in the city."

Li Ke whispered: "How to do it."

Wang Xuance whispered: "Your Highness, I will take people to try the depth first. At night, His Highness, Your Highness, attacking the city at night."

"good."

Li Ke nodded vigorously.

After saying that, Li Ke organized three hundred men and everyone turned over and headed towards Xizhou City.

Li Ke and his men hid behind a dirt slope and watched the situation in Xizhou City.

Wang Xuance and his men slowed down and approached Xizhou City.

By the time the other party discovered it, it was already three hundred meters away.

It entered the range of the composite bow.

The sound of horns came from the city of Xizhou.

Immediately, many people came to the city gate, and many bandits came out of the city.

Wang Xuance shouted to Xizhou City: "We came from Guanzhong! Take advantage of Xizhou City to rest."

The shouting reached Xizhou City.

I don’t know if these bandits can understand Guanzhong dialect.

I just saw that the other party was also whispering.

An arrow shot from the other party's city and landed in front of the horse's hooves.

The horses under him sniffled disdainfully in the face of such weak arrows.

I have studied it during the time I first entered Tubo. The most exquisite bow and arrow in Tubo has only effective killing of only 300 meters.

After three hundred meters, there is no lethality.

Wang Xuance comforted the war horse under him, picked up the compound bow, took the arrow and shot it out.

The arrow broke through the air and shot a man on the top of the city with a whistling sound.

The opponent fell down after being shot.

Wang Xuance smiled contemptuously.

As if he was provoked, the sound of the trumpet in Xizhou City sounded again, and immediately a group of people rushed towards him.

Wang Xuance watched the opponent's team come with swords and said calmly: "The front team turns into the back team, withdraw!"

The team began to retreat.

Looking from the city of Xizhou, the bandits were chasing the people of Guanzhong not far away.

From a distance, the bandits seemed very chaotic and inconsistent.

The Guanzhong people's troops were very neatly retreated even if they retreated.

Both sides have always maintained a distance of no distance.

Wait until I left Xizhou City's sight.

Wang Xuance's men passed a low slope, and the other party's men also chased him down.

Li Ke, who was lying on the side, immediately rushed out.

When the bandits came to their senses, they were surrounded.

Li Ke rode his horse and asked the team to surround these bandits, "Don't do it now, ask them if there are anyone who can speak Guanzhong."
