Chapter 2248
The next day.
As soon as the sky was dawn, the area of Shuanmachang northeast of the sand dunes was empty, with no one garrisoning or a single citizen. Looking around, it was like a dead place.
However, the coalition forces have been deployed, with a total of more than 10,000 troops scattered around, which is the second line of defense, and the first line of defense is a battlefield!
Because of the lack of troops, some people suggested that tens of thousands of prisoners be tied together with iron chains and let them go up to fight. Zhou Jian refused, not because of kindness, but because of no need and no peace of mind.
At this moment, on a high slope, all the senior coalition leaders were waiting anxiously, excited and worried, but Zhou Jian looked like his face had not changed much, and even brought a pipa.
He started playing directly, sometimes slow and sometimes rapid, just like the sound of nature. His unique melody was full of exotic style, which attracted geese to circle and vultures, which was like some kind of magic.
Many senior coalition leaders listened to the pipagiant and became much quieter.
Wuyang's eyes, standing behind, flashed a hint of stunning and incredible. Since ancient times, the pipa has been interpreted by women, but Zhou Jian's attainments are so high. You must know that he is an emperor!
This scene directly overturned her perception that this ruthless king who can go into battle to kill the enemy is actually a very romantic master of folk art!
The song ended, and everyone was still not satisfied, waiting for Zhou Jian to play the next song.
At this moment, he looked at the sky and frowned and said, "The best time for marching in the desert is morning and dusk. If you miss it, you will attack in dusk due to the hot weather."
"Have you come yet?" His eyes were far-reaching, and the guess in his heart was that Xu Tuo was furious. When he learned that the sand dunes were empty, he would attack immediately, which was now.
But at the moment, there was no movement, and even the Qingtian Guard sent there was no news to report back.
"Sir, could it be that I was not trapped?" Someone was confused.
Zhou Jian shook his head: "It is unlikely that half of the Silk Road was lost. Xu Tuo was completely anxious. I guess he had the power to fight for in Dunhuang. He lost again and again like this, and suffered frequent losses, and he was under great pressure.
”
"How could he let go of the god-given opportunity to win the dunes like this?"
"That's dusk, and dusk should attack." Wuyang said in a deep voice.
"No, here we come." Suddenly, Zhou Jian said this, which made everyone around him stagnate, and then he was shocked and looked into the distance.
At the end, there was no yellow sand in the sky, without any movement.
But it can be seen that large-scale dust and sand are floating in the air, just like there are tens of thousands of wild beasts rushing around, causing the yellow sand to roll.
Suddenly, everyone was overjoyed!
"Here, come!"
"It's the direction of the quicksand area!" Someone was extremely excited.
"Hahaha, this is the burial place for these hawks and dogs in Dunhuang. They never thought that waiting for them would be a huge trap!"
“…”
Zhou Jian raised a curve on the corner of his mouth, and did not get carried away, but quickly said: "The fish have entered the pond, and you can get the bait!"
"Yes, I'll go now!" Cha Yue, who had already prepared, bowed and shouted, then rushed down the slope with his subordinates.
Zhou Jian thought for a while and glanced at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei immediately understood, showed a thief smile, and followed.
When they appeared again, they were already standing in the quicksand area. This time he did not fall into it again, because the quicksand area had basically been detected, and the edges he stepped on were real ground, not the quicksand area.
At this time, the Dunhuang hawks and dogs in the distance were flying over, rolling up dust and sand. They were fully armed, like a group of ferocious beasts, desperate.
The coalition forces clenched their fists, hid behind the slope, and looked ahead tightly, and the tense atmosphere spread rapidly.
