Taking Him Away in One Wave
The smoke in the desert was straight, and the sun was round in the long river.
The magnificence of the Immensity Sea could not be described in poetry.
As far as the eye could see, it was filled with yellow sand.
Early September.
The night in the Tengger Desert was already below zero.
During the day, the temperature would rise to 30 to 40 degrees.
Marching in such an extreme environment was a test of a soldier's willpower.
Five days passed in a flash.
One hundred cavalrymen were pulled into a long line, like a black centipede.
If one were to look at it from above, a mere hundred riders were like a hundred ants, unable to cause any waves.
Gou 'zi rode his horse to the front and pointed to a place not far away.""Milord, there is an oasis in front. Shall we set up camp in front today?”
"How far is it from Moon Lake?"
Zhao Yiyang asked.
"It's not far. It's only about a hundred miles.”
Gou 'zi replied.
A hundred miles.
If they were in the grasslands, the cavalry would have arrived in six hours.
However, this was the Gobi Desert, a huge desert. It would take at least half a day to travel a hundred miles.
"Alright, we'll set up camp here today.”
Zhao Yiyang squeezed the horse's belly and the little female horse under him rushed forward for a mile or two.
After turning a sand dune, they saw a small oasis.
He dismounted.
Patting her horse belly, the little filly excitedly ran towards the pond beside the oasis.
Behind him, Cheng Chumo clenched his fist and pressed down.
Then, all the cavalrymen dismounted and set up camp as if they had received an order.
It was around ten in the morning.
In another hour or two, the sun would be at its hottest.
Therefore, these days, the marching time was usually at night and resting during the day.
Their luck was not bad. This small oasis not only had reeds, but also a small poplar forest.
Therefore, the so-called camp was just a few tents built against the poplar forest.
Then, the cook boiled the water and cooked, while the other soldiers seized the time to sleep.
"Brother Yang, have you thought about how to fight this battle?”
Cheng Chumo walked over and handed over a silver kettle.
Zhao Yiyang took the bottle and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
He was surprised to find that the water in the kettle was not only cold but also very delicious.
"Water from the spring?"
he asked.
"Yes, the water here is very sweet. It's different from other places.”
In the Longyou and Gansu regions, the underground water in many places tasted bitter and especially undrinkable.
In the past few days, although they found some drinkable water in the desert, all of them were bitter and astringent, as if they had drunk mud.
"I'm asking you, how do we fight this war?"
Cheng Chumo asked again.
"How else can we fight?"
Zhao Yiyang tossed the water bottle to him and said," Find the brothers who are still here. After we understand the situation, as long as these bastards haven't left, we'll kill them and take them away. They have at most two hundred cavalrymen, and this amount of cavalry is not even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth.”
He spoke very domineeringly.
No one would have thought that Zhao Yiyang, this lunatic, would cross the mountains to the desert to take revenge for the life of a soldier.
Moreover, it seemed that the other party had suffered a loss when they raided the saltworks last time.
Not to mention that so many people had died, they did not even manage to get a single grain of salt. The entire tribe was like a stray dog, fleeing in panic.
Therefore, the success rate of this raid on the White Horse Tribe was more than 80%.
If the enemy hadn't left, the success rate of the ambush would have been more than 95%.
"Gou 'zi."
Zhao Yiyang suddenly said.
"Sir…"
Gou 'zi limped over.
"It's been a tough trip. Take the brothers of the scout battalion to scout the enemy's situation and find Buttface.”
Buttface was the scout who stayed in the desert to monitor the White Horse Tribe.
"Alright!"
Gou 'zi replied.
Just as he was about to get on the horse, he heard Zhao Yiyang say,""Why are you panicking? You don't even want to eat?”
"Oh."
Gou 'zi scratched the back of his head and revealed a simple and honest smile.
