Chapter 374 Victory is in sight
The problem Liu Yu said was very difficult and unexplainable, because she didn't know why her Chinese people and Loulan's army have not kept up with the pace of the Shunchao army. If you want to talk about this low-lying land in the mud, this is a must-pass place unless they took a long journey and made a big circle. But then they might have gone to Yuezhi Kingdom.
When Liu Yu questioned her, her original resentment almost subsided. Liu Yu was right. This was not a question of whether Shunchao's army was not interested in it. No one was sad, including the Loulan people. She was only anxious, and the soldiers were not led by her, and she could not help them even if they were urged.
I just don’t care. This thought came up with Qibun, and suddenly felt very painful. This time I was going to rescue my own people. Although she didn’t believe in the gods, those are all the people of the gods. Are the great nobles of Loulan who believe in the gods willing to watch their own people suffer a catastrophe?
The next day, Shunchao people did fulfill their promises and set out. The speed of the journey this time was still not fast, because if you want to get through the mud and swamp after heavy rain, you must walk carefully and slowly. This is a bit confusing.
"Do you need to find a rope to tie you up? If your horse gets trapped in, I can pull you out." Liu Yu asked with a smile, not far from Chejuan. Such words seemed to be concerned were simply teasing.
I just lost my face in front of this man yesterday and felt like I was not as good as anyone, so she waved the horse whip and tried to stay away from the man.
Sometimes people can't stand the rumor. A good and bad spirit has been marked in front of them, but they didn't notice it. They accidentally trapped the horse in because the mud pit was very big. There was no big difference from the water bay next to them. This time, it was just a normal sound, and all the people and horses were in the water.
"Teel people, hurry!"
Liu Yu was not far from her and shouted, and a bunch of people went up and pulled them, and finally pulled them out, but the horse could not pull them out. He could only witness a string of bubbles appearing on the mud and water surface, and the horse lost its shadow. At this time, he was covered in mud and water, and his whole body was shaking with a cold. Suddenly, he felt a warmth on his back. Liu Yu smiled and draped his cloak on her body.
"Come on, let's ride a horse together." Liu Yu smiled.
"No need, I'm not the woman beside you." While Chetu felt warm, he thought of the woman who was left outside Loulan City by Liu Yu. "Let your soldiers give me a horse."
Liu Yu shook his head and said, "The soldiers' horses are carrying goods. Whoever gives you a horse will starve. Maybe the tent and stove will not be enough at night. As the commander, I will not agree to your rude request."
"Then I'll walk." Chetuzha said angrily.
"Forget it, I'll give you a horse. We also have some spare horses, Miss Chetu. If you want to hurry up next time, you must look forward to the road ahead. These are the roads our soldiers took to explore in front. Don't be careful not to cherish them."
As he was talking, there seemed to be some chaos ahead, and a soldier who was exploring the way fell into the mud pit and never came out again. The soldiers passed by the place where the red flag was planted. Everyone wanted to dismount and take off their helmets to salute, and even Liu Yu was no exception. He saw the mud in his eyes, and felt regretful in his heart. He also felt glad that if the rescue was not timely, she would have become a pile of dead bones in the mud.
After more than two hours, she finally walked out of the low-lying land, the road began to become harder, and there were more woods. The cutting seemed to feel the difference between trees and no trees. She thought that when she went back, she must report this to the queen. It may be because of the random cuts and logging of Loulan people that the number of deserts and sludge grass in the middle country has increased.
"Start up, we'll arrive at our destination before dusk!"
Liu Yu gave the order, but the destination he mentioned was an abstract concept. At least Qi Tu did not know where the destination was. But that was not important. For Qi Tu, she only hoped that these people would have time to clean up the mess when they arrived at the front line. She would not have to retreat as soon as they entered the battlefield, and she could also realize that the cavalry team of Shunchao people was not too large.
The road was not fast in the morning, and the road was anxious in the afternoon. But after all, the Central Army was marching and demanding peace. Liu Yu didn't want to suffer. He stopped for more than 100 miles in the afternoon. This speed was too simple for the cavalry to march rapidly. Finally, before sunset and dusk, the army reached the first city in the south of Loulan, the Kucheng.
Before he got close to the city wall, Liu Yu ordered a rush to march into the city. This was quite puzzled. Logically speaking, Kucheng is either in the hands of the Tubo people or under the control of the Loulan people. Of course, the former is more likely. Shunchao's army has been so hurrying and has no intention of preparing for war, so they want to enter the city so easily?
When he arrived at the city, Che Tu saw clearly that the "dragon flag" of Shunchao people had been planted on the city wall. There were only a few soldiers standing sporadically on the top of the city, as if they were waiting for the arrival of subsequent reinforcements. As for the Loulan people, Che Tu saw no one after entering the city.
"What's going on?" Qi Tuo didn't care about embarrassment and asked Liu Yu.
"The news is that you Loulan people ran away cleanly when you met the Tubo people siege the city. Just like you reacted when you met our Shunchao army. Later... Haha, our vanguard army arrived, so the Tubo people also gave up their resistance and ran away completely. The city will be temporarily guarded by our soldiers for you."
Qi Tu couldn't believe that what Liu Yu said was true. But after asking some Loulan people who returned home in groups after the war, things seemed to be as Liu Yu said.
"Hey, Miss Chetu, there are beacon towers in your city. Can you please explain the method and let your Loulan follow-up troops come up quickly. We don't plan to stay in the city. If you leave like this, it's nothing to do with us."
What color of smoke on the beacon tower represents clearly, but she doesn't know how to lit it. Now Loulan has become a deserter and is counting on people to defend the city. It's a bit of a joke.
"You don't care, we don't care!" Qi Tu said as if he was angry.
"Okay, let's keep going!"
Liu Yu smiled and stopped entering the city, and embarked on a journey south again. It was said that it was a journey, but in fact, it seemed that the situation of the battle had been decided. Liu Yu just needed to walk around the city with his soldiers and wandered around the courtyard.
Lost is lost by the Loulan people, but gain is gained by the Shunchao people. In just two days, these cities have changed several times, and the battles are like a joke. After walking a few Tuchengs, none of them are under the control of the Shunchao people.
"Where are the soldiers in Loulan?" This is the most concerned issue along the way.
"It's almost!" The man who seemed to be indifferent all the way finally became a little nervous. "Walking forward is the main battlefield, we must be careful. But victory is already in sight, so we can wait for a moment!"
