he said.

Zhang Fu and others quickly went to check for ammunition.

"But what should we do when we return? Even if we humans can eat meat, horses, and camels, we still need enough feed. Just eating grass is not enough!"

Sun Ke said.

"return?

Why go here when you return?

It's only a little over a thousand miles from Choros's headquarters to Hamiwei, and it's only two thousand miles to Jiayuguan. Once you enter Jiayuguan, you won't be short of food."

Yang Feng said.

Indeed, you don’t have to walk through the grassland when you come back...

However, he still had to go to the grassland. He had to come back and take his slaves back, but Zhu Di's army could just go directly to Gansu. By this time, the Ming army had completely controlled Hami, and there was even a Qianhu Station guarded by all Han people there.

.In fact, Yang Feng has been encouraging Zhu Yuanzhang to directly set up a command and envoy department in Hami, and then manage all the guards outside Jiayuguan, but Lao Zhu can't take care of it for the time being. After all, the Ming Dynasty has opened up too many territories in recent years, and its national power has been somewhat depleted.

Larger.

After the final inspection of each department, several auxiliary departments had the least ammunition, with about 40% left.

This is the inevitable consequence of his tactics.

Zhou Xing and Sun Ke had the largest number of subordinates.

They actually still have 70% left.

Although the Ming army penetrated more than 3,000 miles into the grassland, they actually fought two battles in total. In one battle, they raided other people's camps and did not use firearms at all. In the battle with the Alutai tribe, only Zhang Fu's tribe used firearms as the main weapon, and all other tribes used firearms.

The cavalry fought against each other, and at most Tuocheng conducted some defensive battles.

The average is over 50%.

That's it.

Zhu Di also ordered all ministries to reorganize, and selected 5,000 cavalry to escort the wounded and dead soldiers, as well as the captured old, weak, women, children, and a large number of cattle and sheep, and returned to the camp at the Tula River.

Wait until spring starts and head south to Kaiping.

As for the remaining 22,000 Ming troops, they continued to pursue.

Five days later.

"Where are you taking us?"

Zhang Fu looked at their guide and shook the compass in his hand.

At this time, the weather has begun to get warmer, and even the snow on the grasslands has melted. It is estimated that in another ten days, green will be visible. The Ming army, which drove more than 3,000 miles at minus 30 degrees Celsius, clearly saw this.

Their spirits were lifted a lot. In fact, they were indeed very tired. Although it did not affect their combat effectiveness, jolting on horseback for so long took a lot of physical strength. After all, the Ming army was not a Mongolian cavalry, the latter was a Japanese horse.

With their backs almost in one piece, they could last for several months, even riding horses all the time. At this level, the Ming army would inevitably be a little tired.

But the long-lost warm sun finally cheered up the expeditionary force, which had now embarked on a completely unfamiliar territory.

"What's wrong?"

Zhu Di, who personally commanded the vanguard, urged the horses to come over.

He handed over the command of the Chinese army to Zhou Xing and placed himself at the front to ensure morale. After all, the best way to ensure morale was to have the commander-in-chief at the front.

They are not safe.

Now that we are deep into the core area of ​​Mongolia, we cannot rule out being ambushed again. Although it is true that the Mongolian tribes have not had enough time to assemble, who knows if there are any Mongolian tribes nearby in such a strange area? He personally led the vanguard, and the Chinese army was handed over to Zhou Xing.

Veteran General Zhong and Sun Ke's troops were on guard on the flanks. Although the entire army slowed down, it rolled forward in a ball on the grassland.

"My lord, he has taken the road astray."

Zhang Fu ignored him and looked at Yang Feng who was looking at his watch.

The latter immediately raised his head, took out the telescope from his bag, and searched on the wind-eroded rocks ahead...

"Ambassador, what are you looking for?"

Zhu Di said doubtfully.

Yang Feng still ignored him, but raised the telescope again, then urged the war horse, and then rushed straight to a rock on the right. Zhu Di and Zhang Fu looked at each other, and they followed him. Yang Feng finally stopped in front of a rock wall.

, as if feeling very emotional there, looking at this rock wall that has been severely eroded by wind.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

Zhang Fu said.

"See what's up here?"

Yang Feng pointed at the rock wall and said.

Zhu Di and Zhang Fu looked at it in confusion, and soon they discovered that despite the severe wind erosion, the rock wall could still be distinguished. It actually had many words engraved on it, and they could even basically read them...

"In the autumn and July of the first year of Yongyuan, there was an uncle named Dou Xian, the chariot general, Yinliang Shengming, and the royal family of Dengyi..."

Yang Feng's voice sounded beside them.

Zhu Di looked at him in shock...

"...I went with Geng Bing, the leader of the Jin Dynasty, to report on his duties and patrol. He organized the troops in Shuofang. Ying Yang's school, Chi Hu's soldiers, Yuan Gai's Sixth Division, Jinan Chanyu, Dong Hu Wuhuan, Xirong Di Qiang, the group of princes, kings and leaders

, 30,000 brave cavalry. Yuan Rong lightly armed, with a long hub and four quarters, clouds and paraphernalia covering the road, more than 3,000 cavalry. They are equipped with eight formations, showing their majesty, black armor is dazzling, and red flags are crimson in the sky. Suiling Gaoque

, Lower chickens and deer, pass through Qilu, eliminate the desert, cut Wenyu to provoke the drum, and chase the bloody corpses to dye the eel. Then the four schools moved across, the stars and comets swept, the depression was thousands of miles away, and there were no traces of the bandits. So the territory was wiped out, and the area was wiped out.

Turn back and turn, examine the Chuanxian map, and have a full view of its mountains and rivers. Then cross Zhuoxie, cross Anhou, ride on Yanran, sneak into the area of ​​​​Dun, burn the old man's Longting. Go up to the Gao, Wen's place

Anger is the mysterious spirit of the ancestors; it is used to stabilize the descendants, expand the realm, and revitalize the heavenly voice of the great Han Dynasty.

It is said that one effort brings long-term relief, and a temporary effort brings eternal peace. This is why the mountains are sealed and stones are published to show their great virtues.

His words read: King Shuo came to conquer the desolate descendants, suppressed the ferocious and cruel people, and cut off the overseas. He set out to conquer the land, established a sacred hill, and built a high ridge, and Emperor Xi carried him to inspire the world!"

Yang Feng finally finished reading the complete content.

Zhu Di looked at him with shock.

"Le Shi Yanran, is this actually true?"

Then His Highness King Yan said slowly.
Chapter completed!
