A strong wind blew up the sand and hit the marching team.

Looking around, there is khaki sand everywhere, and nothing can be seen except sand.

An army of thousands of people walked slowly in the desert.

Quan Jingxuan rode a war horse and walked strenuously in front of the front army, cursing and looking coldly.

Angry face.

The hoofs of the war horse sank into the sand, making it difficult for them to walk.

A strong wind roared by, and the road in the distance was blocked by the sky full of sand and dust. The soldiers lowered their heads, facing the biting wind and sand, and advanced in pain.

Suddenly a soldier shouted, stepping on the sand and running all the way to Quan Jingxuan in a weird posture, "General! It's bad! Seventeen more people are missing!!"

"What?!"

Quan Jingxuan stopped his horse and looked behind him.

The soldiers formed a long queue behind him and were advancing slowly. However, due to the weather and terrain, it was difficult for him to see clearly the team in the distance.

Quan Jingxuan became even more angry.

"I knew it! I knew it!!"

"I told Yuchijiong at the beginning that there were too many deserts around Lingzhou. If we wanted to attack from multiple points, we would have to brave the cold wind to cross the sea of ​​sand. Most of the sergeants died before we even reached our destination!

!」

"But this guy refused to listen to me and deliberately retaliated by asking me to do this most arduous job!!"

"Yu Chi doesn't manage the army! He is arrogant and arrogant, and sooner or later we will be defeated by him!"

Quan Jingxuan roared angrily, and the heads of the surrounding soldiers lowered their heads.

The sergeant didn't dare to say anything more. He just looked around and said, "General, do we still send people to look for him?"

"What, do you still want to send some more people out?"

Quan Jingxuan gritted his teeth and looked at the weather again, "I'll rest here today! Set up a bonfire to keep the soldiers warm...::"

The sergeant was shocked, "General, tomorrow is the arrival time limit set by the Duke of Shu for us."

"Isn't he leading the army across the desert within the prescribed time limit? Can I fly there?"

"If he wants to be held accountable for this, then just chop off my head! What about military law? When he was defeated like a mountain in Heluo, why didn't he see any military law?"

"Station! Repair!!"

The sergeants had no choice but to obey, but the marching sergeants were very happy. Marching in such an environment was really the most painful thing in the world.

Everyone rested where they were, set up sentries, and made a fire to cook.

Quan Jingxuan sat in front of the bonfire, the firelight shining on his face, making him look even more gloomy and terrifying.

Several confidant generals sat beside him, and they were not in a good mood either.

"General, if I had known better, I shouldn't have rushed to Chang'an in the first place."

"We live a good life in the south, why are we so humiliated by an old thief like Yu Chijun?!"

"Those who were close to him all got good jobs, but we were ordered to take a detour to attack the enemy's rear...:. We were also given a time limit, not to mention whether we could reach it or not. Even if we arrived, the rest of the way

As long as the army takes one step at night, won't we have to fight alone?"

"When the time comes, we will be unable to advance or retreat, and the enemy can directly wipe us out!"

"I think Yuchi Jiong may really have this idea. If we are late, we will deal with it according to military law. If we are late, we will deliberately slow down the attack speed of the other armies and let us die in the hands of the enemy!!"

"Earlier, Yuchi wanted his sons to serve as general managers. It was you who rose to the position through military merit. From then on, he was a little dissatisfied with you. Earlier, when you recommended several of our brothers to the military government, wasn't he the one who hindered it?

"

"And that Yu Wenxian."

"He seems to be fair, but who doesn't know that he is the closest to Yuchi Jiong. He treats him as a teacher and learns the skills of fighting from him. He will appoint anyone recommended by Yuchi Jiong. The two of them are obviously on the same team.

!」

Everyone was talking a lot.

The more Lao Quan listened, the angrier he became.

Quan Jingxuan had previously opened up the situation in the south, allowing several governors to surrender without a fight, and achieved the greatest success without any effort. However, because the main force was defeated, he had to leave the captured areas and take prisoners, food, etc.

Evacuate.

Although he did not actually occupy the area, among the several armies, he was the only one who saved the entire army and brought back many prisoners, supplies, and people. He also got the opportunity to have his own faction through this battle.

.

Among the military leaders of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a large military leader is followed by a large group of small military leaders, and several large military leaders can unite to elect a super large military leader.

Yu Wenhu tried his best to kill them all in the past, but after Yu Wenyong came to power, he insisted on separating the generals. It was all because of this reason.

From this we can also see a shortcoming of the government army system. It is easy to create a group of military leaders who hold heavy troops and can compete with the temple. If the temple has always been strong, then it will be okay, as long as the temple shows some shortcomings...

\n.However,

This has been the case with local armies in the past dynasties. When the temple is weak, no matter what system or method,

Everything will turn from good to bad.

Because the number of places in the military government is limited, but there are so many generals, there are some conflicts of interest among the military leaders.

This kind of conflict intensifies mutual distrust and leads to greater consequences.

Quan Jingxuan suddenly spoke.

"No need to say more!!"

The generals immediately shouted.

Quan Jingxuan raised his head, "Yu Chijiong used to be Yu Wenhu's confidant and was very close to him. Will Your Majesty punish me because of him?"

"Yu Chi was very prominent in the past, but it is no longer the past.'

"The Ming Dynasty has ascended the throne, so he can no longer show off his power..."

Quan Jingxuan stared at the bonfire in front of him, the flames were burning and beating...

The flames are blazing.

The entire camp was on fire, and the sky was illuminated red by the flames.

The roar of the soldiers came, and the war horses led their masters and galloped past the soldiers. The soldiers fell one after another, and the masked knight raised the spear in his hand, which was stained with blood.

Deng Guogong Dou Chi held a long sword, and the soldiers on the left and right roared and fought with the knights who rushed up.

The entire camp was ignited by flames, and the screams of the soldiers continued to come from all directions.

Dou Chi's face turned red, and the hand holding the sword was trembling.

"Where is Kwon Kyung-sun?!"

"Why is Kwon Kyung-sun so late?!"

"Kwon Kyung-sun?!"

Dou Chi's beard trembled because of his roar. The designated time for the attack had arrived, but there was no movement from the enemy's rear. He did not dare to take action first, so he had to withdraw from a section of the road and wait.

After waiting for two days, there was no news of an attack on the enemy's rear, but Gao Changgong's elite cavalry arrived.

Gao Changgong led a large-scale cavalry and attacked with almost all his strength. Dou Chi's infantry had to face an equal number of cavalry, fully armed cavalry...:. This was a desperate battle.

Dou Chi watched the enemy burn his camp, and watched his generals, sons, and soldiers die tragically in the hands of the enemy.

He raised his head and roared, his voice sad.

"My lord! Withdraw! Withdraw quickly!!"

The generals rushed up from the left and right, looking very embarrassed and shouting loudly.

Dou Chi clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes determined.

"How can you outrun the cavalry?!"

"Before setting off for the expedition, I warned Yuchi Jiong: If the generals do not cooperate, it will be difficult to accomplish anything."

"I have fought for my country all my life, but I ended up like this because of a villain?!"

"Bring me my horse!!"

The soldiers immediately brought the war horse over. Dou Chi quickly got on the horse, not looking old at all. He threw away his long sword and replaced it with a long soldier. He pointed at the enemy in the distance and said, "There is no retreat today. If you want to survive,

There’s only one chance!!”

"kill!!"

Dou Chi personally led the troops and charged at the cavalry that was several times his own.

Dou Chi is in his sixties this year, and his beard has turned gray, but his martial arts skills are still the same. He attacks on the left and right sides of the battle line. The spear in his hand is like a poisonous snake. He attacks quickly and kills with one blow. He can even stab the throat of a fully armed knight.

It was neither light nor heavy, and with just one blow, the enemy fell off the horse and stopped moving.
