Chapter 2041 Fang Xing Is Furious

The movement of the army was too noisy, and there was no room for confidentiality along the way, so Zhu Gaoxu sent people to pass orders along the roadside walls and strictly ordered all passes to be closed.

In fact, after the arrival of winter, entry and exit at various passes are no longer allowed except for scouts.

However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Under Fang Xing's suggestion, Zhu Gaoxu's threat was very bloody.

——If you dare to release someone privately, your whole family will be killed!

Snowflakes were floating in the air and melted immediately when they fell on the ground.

"accelerate!"

The large group of cavalry gradually accelerated against the snowflakes, and the baggage trains and artillery carts behind them also followed.

Zhu Gaoxu wiped his face and said, "We must attack Yili before the snow melts!"

Traveling long distances, especially changing horses, is a torment for most people.

…

Spring has returned to the earth, and Hami at the foot of Tianshan Mountain is still covered with heavy snow.

The city of Hami was just an earthen city. During King Khaled's eastern expedition, it was once attacked and the original King Zhongshun disappeared.

After the Ming Dynasty defeated King Khali, due to Zhu Di's sudden death, Zhu Gaochi, who took over, died before he could redeploy Hami's strategy.

So the current Hamiwei is a place of chaos, and various forces, big and small, are taking advantage of the vacuum period to start fighting for it.

The woods are covered with a thick layer of snow, and the snow covers the ground, and there are winding places in the middle that are steaming.

It is covered with snow, and traces of animal activity can be seen from time to time.

A horse's hoof stepped heavily on the snow, and the land below that was moistened by the snow rebounded slightly. The young grass that was gathering strength and was about to break through the ground was suppressed.

Fang Wu glanced at the Tucheng in front of him, turned around and said, "Go and tell His Highness that Hami City is ahead of you."

The scout immediately turned his horse around and trudged hard through the snow.

After walking back less than five miles, a long black line appeared in front of us.

The scout sped up,

There are also two riders on the opposite side. After the two sides met, they headed towards the Chinese Army.

After trekking all the way, both people and horses were exhausted.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw the scout, he asked impatiently: "But we are in Hami City? How is it over there?"

"Your Highness, there is no defense in Hami City."

Zhu Gaoxu smiled evilly and said: "The horse thieves we met along the way are all behind us, kill them!"

…

Zhu Gaoxu, who was full of murderous intent, saw Hami City and the panicked people on the top of the city.

He took a look through the binoculars and said discouraged: "Enter the city!"

Hami City, which has only two city gates, is like an innocent girl, welcoming the army from the Ming Dynasty with open arms.

After entering the city gate and seeing more than ten people kneeling beside them, Fang Xing ordered: "Bring two heads to ask questions."

The simplicity of the city was beyond everyone's expectation. Zhu Gaoxu looked at those mud houses and cursed: "What a bullshit place! Camp!"

The herdsmen stood cowering outside the earthen houses, and the men with swords knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

In the largest mud house, Fang Xing frowned at the mess in the house and said, "Tell someone to find wood and build tables and chairs."

His subordinates took the order. Someone had already hung the map on the wall. Zhu Gaoxu walked over and looked at it carefully.

Two men were brought in. They knelt on the ground and shivered.

"Where are the officials of the Ming Dynasty?"

Fang Xing asked, sitting on the broken chair.

Someone was lighting a fire, and the half-dried wood produced a lot of smoke, which was blown in by the wind.

The interpreter shouted and asked, and one of the men raised his head and said a lot with a panic expression.

"Uncle, of the two original Ji Shans, one died in battle and the other evacuated when King Halie broke Hami."

"Where are the bodies of those who died in the battle? Where are the evacuated ones?"

The number of herdsmen and so-called warriors in the city was only about 500. These two so-called leaders were frightened out of their wits.

Although I don’t know Fang Xing’s identity, he may lead more than 10,000 people, so he must be at least a count, right?

"Uncle, those who died in the battle can no longer be found..."

"Where's the rest?"

At this time, Wang He came in. He glanced at the two people and said: "The one who evacuated was called Lin Chu. When Harie's army pressed the border, he happened to not be in the city, so he was able to escape, but he didn't go back later... "

At this time, the interpreter said excitedly: "Uncle, they said they saw Lin Chu outside the city last month, but the city didn't let them in at that time, so Lin Chu left with some Han people."

Fang Xing suddenly stood up and went out, shouting: "One thousand people, ten teams, take the locals and set off immediately to find Lin Chu!"

As soon as the military order was given, a group of cavalry was assembled.

In the wind and snow, more than a thousand cavalry were divided into ten teams and began to eat dry food.

There was deathly silence in the city, with only Fang Xing's roar echoing.

"This is a shame! Go find them! Find them! Even if they die, bring their bones back!"

The strong wind whipped up the snowflakes and danced. The cavalry responded with a bang and rushed out of Hami City with murderous intent.

"This is a shame!"

Zhu Gaoxu came out and said disapprovingly: "There are no immortals in the war. You care too much."

Fang Xing's face turned a little blue, and he said bitterly: "He was not allowed to enter the city. Think about how desperate Lin Chu and those Ming people must have been at that time. Now I finally know why he didn't go back..."

Zhu Gaoxu was fighting to kill Han, and the so-called death toll was probably just a number in his opinion.

Fang Xing shook his head and said with a livid face: "This is Ming Dynasty's negligence, the emperor's negligence, our generation's negligence! Come on!"

Seeing Fang Xing rushing out of Hami City with a group of cavalry and servants, Zhu Gaoxu said helplessly: "Why does this man say that wind is like fire..."

…

In an open space in the dense forest, there are wooden houses connected one after another. The smoke from the fire is accumulating in the woods, but no one can be seen outside the houses.

He was wearing a dirty and broken leather jacket, his hair and beard were stuck together, and his face was blackened by firewood.

The fire in front of him occasionally erupted with sparks and explosions because the wood was not fully dry, but Lin Chu's eyes did not move.

There were no stools or tables, and there was only one pot in the room.

The door was pushed open, and several women came in. They numbly placed the pot on the fire, and then added water.

The water boiled, and a piece of dried meat was thrown in, followed by several unknown, black things.

The soup gradually gained some flavor, and a woman said, "Sir, there is no food."

Lin Chu's eyes moved and he said, "It will be alright. Spring is here, and those beasts can't help but come out to look for food. Let them prepare to go hunting."

"Sir, those people are very fierce. If they see us hunting, they will take away our bows, arrows and prey."

The eyes of several women were desperate, but they did not cry. Most of them were numb.

For them, perhaps starving to death is a good outcome, but they just can't bear to leave their children.

Lin Chu sniffed, glanced at the black mess in the pot, and said, "Don't be afraid, they don't dare to kill us."

But he also knew in his heart that after two or three years, Ming still did not send anyone to Hami, and those people gradually no longer took Daming seriously.

When greed overshadows worries, the group of Han people he brings will probably become slaves.

And women...

He looked at these unkempt women and said, "Ask them to make weapons, wooden guns, and yes, that... javelin. If you make them, you can at least keep our food."

A woman suddenly begged: "Sir, the children at home are so thin that they are no longer human-shaped. Let's go and beat those people around. Then we will have something to eat."

Another woman gritted her teeth and said, "How much food did they steal from us? Sir, let's fight with them!"

"Yes, let's fight them!"

Lin Chu sighed: "The Ming Dynasty has defeated Ha Lie, and now those people are entrenched in Yili, and there are many horse thieves. They are just afraid of angering the Ming Dynasty, so they gave Hami peace. But they are afraid, once that happens The Harlei people on the other side are falling out with the Ming Dynasty, and Hami can’t stay!”

Several women lowered their heads, tears fell to the ground, and gradually began to choke.

The road ahead is cut off and there is no hope of going back. What is this?

This is despair!
