Chapter 926 No miracle

The Ming army soldiers lined up two rows of infantry formations on the periphery, with guns, shields and spears waiting for the battle.The Tatars, Hami Mongols, civil servants, and camels were all crowded in the middle, and people watched the enemy in fear.

The archers in the formation were ready and stood behind and waited.The few Hami Mongols also brought weapons, and they took down their bows and arrows to defend against the enemy.

There were also some musketeers behind the infantry, who were busy loading, and some people passed the fire and lit the fuse one after another.

Everyone had no enemy situation all the way through the way. The musket was empty, probably because the gunpowder was easily blown away by the wind.

The soldiers were moving very quickly, but in desperation, some people's fingers were trembling obviously.

A tile-sting cavalry surged over, and the generals of the Ming army were shouting and ordering everyone to stabilize the front and not retreat.

However, when the Watshu people rushed to more than a hundred steps, they stopped one after another.Many horse soldiers moved towards the two wings, but did not get close.

Seeing this, someone in the Ming army asked: What do you want to do with the Watshuren? Isn’t it a waste of the fighter’s opportunity to not attack at this time? The Tatars's Huo Chi looked suddenly and said in Chinese: There is no water here, so I can't defend it. At first, people were threatened by the thorn cavalry, and they were all nervous, only caring about the danger in front of them.

At this time, after being reminded by someone, many people realized the problem.

There are yellow sand around you, where is there water?

The worst thing is that everyone walked uphill for two days. The desert was taller and it was even harder to find water.

As expected, the Wassat soldiers had no intention of attacking at all, but only watched from a distance or near place.

The Han and Mongols in the formation dig the ground to find water together, and people kept digging the sand pit deep.

Hope is slim, but everyone is still looking forward to the miracle.

The two sides were in a stalemate until the evening of that day, and the Ming army had not dug out a drop of water.

Food and water are still stored, but panic began to spread among the crowd that day.

Asari turned to look at a Chinese man he didn't know, trying to understand his words.

The Han people said: We walked this sand for two days and it was all uphill. Whether we went forward or backward, the road was very far.If we slowly moved the general's formation out of the desert, we might have been thirsty and exhausted.If the formation is changed, it will be dispersed by the cavalry.The Han man who was talking was wearing armor, his heart-protecting mirror was bright, and he wore a blue shoulder scarf. He looked like he was a general leader.

Another voice said: The thorn man waits for us to thirsty and exhausted before launching another fatal blow.Qingshangshou said: To the north of this place, except for the small oasis along the Ruoshui River, it is full of deserts and deserted stones. The place where the tiles and thorns move is eight feet away, at least one thousand miles away.The Wassai people could not have been on an expedition for our Ming army's hundred-house teams, and they came to the Tatars.The more Asari heard it, the more something was wrong. She vaguely felt that these Han soldiers would abandon the Tatars and find ways to break through and escape.

The Wastu people should really come to the remnants of the Tatars. As long as they capture the Tatars, they will most likely not pursue the Han people.

She turned her head and looked at Feihuo Chi, but she couldn't tell Feihuo Chi's attitude.

The surroundings stopped and the light gradually dimmed after the sun set.

At this time, a general wearing a cloak came over and said in his voice: We have to escort the Tatars to Peiping, the military order we received.If I escaped at the battle, I would not behead you and others, and military law would not tolerate it.Green Scarf said: Brothers don’t want to die for the Tatars.The general said: Sergeant died for others.We do not serve the Tatars, but serve the emperor and the court.Asari couldn't understand the general's words.

The civil servant who followed the army suddenly said: As far as I know, this matter is the will of the emperor.The list of yours must be in the garrisons.Escape is a criminal, but he will die in battle but not in vain.Just think about your family and future generations.All the Han people nearby stopped talking and the dispute ended.

There was nothing wrong all night, the Watanabes did not attack at night, and the Ming army also maintained the military formation and took turns to be on duty.After dawn the next day, Asari found that there was no sign of the Han soldiers running away.

The general issued a military order, requiring everyone to hand over the water bag and distribute it every day.

Then he ordered the soldiers to maintain a round formation and the entire army slowly moved westward.

People stopped after walking for a while and continued to dig holes for water.

The Wastuman brigade located in the northeast and the surrounding cyclists followed like watching a play, and still had no intention of attacking.

This situation lasted for four or five days, and the water everyone carried was exhausted and no water was found underground. People were preparing to kill camels.

Moreover, the Han martial artists were exhausted, and their thirst and fatigue made them look weak.

Asari felt the lips inside the black veil also peeling, and despair was overwhelming in her heart.

What made her most regretful was that she could not save her child. She watched the son she was taken care of by the female slave every day, but could not take care of herself.

She found Tuohuochi and whispered in Mongolian language: Why, the Wassairen knew so much news? Bohuochi looked at Asari in confusion: How do I know? Asari was silent for a moment and said: It seems that everyone is going to die, why don’t the Prime Minister let me die? Tuohuochi asked back: Do you doubt me? I am the prime minister of Mongolia. Is there any reason to collude with the tiled people? Asari was speechless, and she couldn't force her to get rid of the fire.

At this moment, Asari heard the noise. When she looked up, she saw some thorn cavalry suddenly rushed over.

She was stunned and was very surprised. She thought that the thorn man would wait for another three or two days to make people thirsty and without resistance before taking action.

After all, at this time, the Ming army had not completely lost its combat power.

There was also noisy around, and the crowd in the middle became more and more crowded. Asari was not sure that he was pushed for a while.On the contrary, those tired and thirsty Han soldiers still maintained their formation.

The infantry holding guns and shields in front squatted down, and the musket soldiers raised their long guns one after another.

A Ming general pulled out his waist knife and shouted: Get ready!Soon, bang bang bang bang bang bang... The muskets sounded and fired twice in turn, and the pungent smoke filled the crowd.

Then the musket soldiers began to get busy again, and Asari saw them poking muskets with long strips, which seemed very troublesome.

She didn't know why the Han people didn't just use bows and arrows, and there were archers shooting arrows in the queue.

Screams kept coming, and from time to time, people were shot and fell to the ground, and there were also unarmed Tatars gathered in the middle and were killed and injured.

At this moment, some Han people ran over and began to drive away the camels. They beat the camels roughly with whips, and then made way out in the formation ahead, and a group of camels rushed out in panic.

Sure enough, when the Mongols rushed over again, they met the running camels, and the thorn cavalry had to disperse and slow down.

The Ming army archers began to aim and shoot the cavalry, and the arrows that were riding on the opposite side also whizzed past their heads.

Asari was in a mess. She found a general who gave orders and shouted in Chinese: Give me an arrow, a bow and arrow.The general turned his head and looked at her, and actually took off the bow and a quiver pot and handed it to her.

Asari immediately set off his bow and arrow, and saw a cavalryman who was stabbing his horse. After the sound of the string, the enemy soldier fell off.

After a while, there was a shout from the north and the thorn man rushed to the formation.

However, the sand on the ground seemed to affect the cavalry's charge. The speed of the tile slasher was not fast. Several cavalry were pulled off the horse's back and screamed with screams by the cherry spear.

However, the cavalry of Wasat followed one after another and used cavalry to shoot. The number of people injured in the Ming army continued to increase, and the invasion formation showed signs of scattering.

At this time, camels injured by arrows in the circle ran around, and the crowd became even more chaotic.

Asari felt his ears buzzing and he couldn't hear any sounds clearly.

Several cavalry and thorn soldiers rushed into the round formation, and the unarmed Tatars and some slaves ran in panic, and the surroundings seemed to be in a panic.

A cavalry leaned over and chopped over a Han man with a musket and rushed past.

Asari stared at his movements, pulled his bow and raised his hand, and hit the target with an arrow.

All he could hear was a scream from the thorn man, and then he continued to neigh and scream in the crowd.

The Watanabe army continued to break into the military formation, and many Tatar Hami people had already run out, but none of the escaped people ended up well.They kept hitting arrows, and the bodies in the desert were everywhere.

The sound of muskets sounded sporadically among the chaotic army, and the sound of strings was endless.

Asari had no strength in her arms. She was a little exhausted after not drinking enough water these days, and it was very difficult to pull the bow.

She bent down and rested, observing the surrounding soldiers, and always paying attention to the female slaves holding their children not far away.

She heard the movement, and suddenly turned her head and saw a cavalry approaching her, and the cavalry's sword had swung into the air.Asari's heart suddenly became cold.

hiss!The war horse suddenly tweeted, and a Han soldier rushed up, but the Han people were probably not enough and jumped high, and they hit the horse's back with a thump.

The sergeant's armor touched the knife that stabbed people with a clang.

The war horse's hind hooves could not avoid them, and stepped on the Han man's body, and a scream rang out.

When Asari came to his senses, the enemy cavalry had already run over from the side.She hurriedly ran to the Han soldier and knelt on the sand. She saw the people on the ground with blood on their faces and vomiting blood in their mouths.

She reached out and put her hand on the Han people's armor, but she didn't know where his worst injury was.

She asked in Chinese: What is your name, your name? The sergeant looked at Asari blankly, wondering if he didn't understand or could not hear it.

He kept vomiting blood, then stared at the sky, saying nothing.

A woman's scream came from behind, and Asari hurriedly grabbed the bow and quiver and stood up, looking around for the female slave who was holding the child.It wasn't until she saw the child in the crowd that she felt relieved.

She turned around and looked at the sergeant lying not far away, and saw that his face was still motionless, probably dead.

Asari opened her dry lips and inhaled heavily, her head was dizzy, and amid the screams and shouts on all sides, the chaos made her feel like the earth was capsizing.
