As the night grew colder, many campfires were soon lit around the campsite, and they burned brighter and brighter.
Every month, they build bonfires, surrounded by dozens, even hundreds of people, to keep warm against the biting cold wind.
"General Han, we've been walking in this desert for several days now, and we still haven't seen a trace of them. Could it be that they really no longer exist?"
"How could that be? We've been heading west in the same direction the whole time. Even if we don't find anyone, we'll reach Europe sooner or later. Once we get to Europe, things will become much simpler."
Han Xin's attitude was very clear: as long as he kept moving forward, he would eventually be able to get out of this vast desert. He did not believe that there were no roads that could be traveled.
"Brothers, don't be discouraged. Listen carefully, what are we going to do this time? We're going to Europe."
Everyone present clenched their fists, their confidence restored. For them, the most important thing now was to quickly conquer Europe, get there, and fight a good war.
...
Meanwhile, the Persian Empire's patrolling cavalry was already not far from Han Xin's camp.
At night, the flames could be seen from a great distance by the Persian Empire's patrolling cavalry. They had just come down to rest when they saw the distant firelight.
"Look over there, why are there so many flames? Could that be the mysterious force?"
"That's very likely. If that's the case, then we'd better be careful."
"No matter what, no matter who they are, if they mess with us, we have to fight them to the death. We know best what kind of people these bastards are."
The Persian cavalry looked in their direction. They knew that although the flames seemed close enough to be seen, it would likely take their camel riders a day and a night, or even longer, to reach them.
The Persian cavalrymen quickly jumped off their camels.
"Let's set up camp here and wait for these people to come. We'll wait in comfort and then launch a surprise attack when they arrive. We'll definitely crush them then. Do you all understand?"
Everyone present nodded in agreement. At this moment, they were experiencing something they had never imagined before, something they had never encountered before. They were both extremely nervous and excited. For them, they had to fight a good battle with the other side.
"The warriors have just received an order from His Majesty the King. His Majesty said that as long as we wipe out this army, India will be ours."
When these cavalrymen, who were not from a newly established state, heard this news, they were ecstatic. For the people of the Persian Empire, there was a deep-seated desire to occupy vast oases and grasslands.
The area where they live is a vast desert. Not to mention lush grasslands, even large oases are places they can only dream of.
Upon hearing that they could occupy vast grasslands, this was the happiest thing for them, and it was also what they most wanted to do.
Upon hearing this news, everyone present was incredibly excited; they all became extremely excited.
"Really, if we wipe out all these people, will India be ours? If so, that would be a really great thing."
"I've heard since I was a child that India is a vast country with green mountains and clear waters everywhere."
"If we could conquer India, that would be a great thing. India is a beautiful place with lush mountains and clear waters. Only by conquering India can we live a good life."
"Brothers, if you want to conquer our Three Kingdoms, you have to kill all these people. There is nothing else to do. Once we kill them all, we can do whatever we want."
"Hide yourselves and wait until these people get close before wiping them all out."
The Persian cavalrymen were all excited. At this moment, for them, annihilation was the only option. This army before them was something they had never imagined before, but now they did. Now they knew that their most important task was to wipe out Han Xin and his men.
As the night passed and the sun rose above the horizon, the temperature slowly rose again.
Han Xin's troops had already sounded the reveille, and everyone stretched and stood up.
"Brothers, we must act quickly today."
"We have to cross this vast desert within two days. That's the only way. Do you all understand?"
At this time, those responsible for starting the fire and cooking began to cook.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement; this was something they had never imagined before.
"Listen up, everyone! We're leaving in an hour. We can't afford to linger here any longer."
The vultures continued to circle overhead. They guided the Persian patrol cavalry, and also Han Xin and his men. The denser the vultures, the better.
This indicates that there are many people in this place.
"Look, I think I can see their oasis. We need to speed up."
Although Han Xin hadn't seen an oasis, his words excited everyone. Everyone knew that life in an oasis was far better than living in the vast desert.
The food was quickly prepared and served to everyone.
"Brothers, we need to eat quickly and get moving. We must make the most of every second. The sooner we set off, the better."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. This was something they had never imagined or anticipated before.
Everyone was thinking about one thing: to move forward quickly and leave this place as soon as possible. Only by leaving this place quickly could they reach their oasis and leave this desert.
In less than an hour, the team had already set off quickly.
Meanwhile, the Persian cavalrymen who were lying in ambush in the distance heard the rumbling of the train and were all stunned.
