There are also many tribes of Dashi people living in the Dashi Peninsula.
Those who generally make a living as nomads are collectively called Bedouins.
Their population accounts for most of the population of the Dashi Peninsula.
The Bedouins are divided into camel nomads and goat and sheep nomads.
Human and cattle nomads, of which the camel nomads are the most famous, occupy large amounts of land.
Bedouin people do not have a fixed residence.
They usually live in tents and follow water and grass.
They spend the hottest and dryest seasons on the edge of agricultural areas.
When the rainy season comes and desert water plants grow, they head into the depths of the desert.
In the Dashi Peninsula, in addition to the Beindu, there are many other tribes, such as the Taiyi tribe, the Esaid tribe, the Gatfang tribe, the Hanifa tribe, the Quraish tribe, and so on.
Among them, the Quraish tribe is the tribe where the prophet and the four caliphs belong.
These tribes generally have fixed residences, mainly live in oases, and make a living by doing business and planting date palms.
During the period of the Prophet and the Four Caliphs, the Bedouins were the main combatants of the Dashi Army.
They formed the main body and foundation of the Dashi Army.
The Bedouins were fierce, brave, and tenacious.
As the Dashi expanded outward, They are scattered across vast areas of West Asia and North Africa.
Going south to attack the Dashi Peninsula is not a trivial matter.
Although the slave army is divided into two groups and attacks southward along the coastline, there is still a large desert and desert in the middle of the peninsula.
The east and west armies are also quite far apart.
Communication is not smooth here.
In this era, it would take a long time for the two armies to contact each other.
At that time, the message could not be delivered in time, and Bai Xiaode, the leader of the slave army, personally led 6,000 people from Baghdad from south to north along the center line of the peninsula.
This could not only attack the small number of nomadic tribes located in the middle of the peninsula, but also Able to contact and command the east and west armies in a timely manner.
The attack scope of the West Route Army is mainly in the Hijaz area, and its jurisdiction includes Tabuk, Medina and Mecca.
The attack scope of the East Route Army is mainly the coastal areas on the west coast of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, while the Sixth Route Army led by Bai Xiaode personally Thousands of people mainly attacked the Najd area in the central part of the peninsula.
Nefud Desert, Jubai Village.
Jubai Village is a very small oasis village in the desert.
There are more than 300 Dashi people living here.
The plants in this oasis are mainly date palm trees.
In fact, the oases in the Dashi Peninsula are basically made of this kind of palm trees.
There are jujube trees, some wild grassland around the village, some sheep and camels are raised, and there are more than a dozen donkeys in the village.
Bai Xiaode stood on the hill on horseback, squinting at the endless yellow sand around him.
Hou Kaiwen, the supervisor, rode over and handed him a piece of cake and a pottery bowl.
The pottery bowl contained a bowl.
Red and sticky.
Bai Xiaode took the cake and took a bite in his mouth.
He looked at the red paste in the pottery bowl in his other hand and asked vaguely: "What is this?"
Hou Kaiwen said: "Eat the paste made from jujubes.
It's very sweet."
Bai Xiaode looked at the small piece of cake in his hand and said with a grimace: "Why don't you just give me a piece of cake like this and put it in your stomach?"
"If it's not enough, eat these jujubes to make them gooey.
I'm telling you, boss, don't be too particular when you go out.
This Dashi Peninsula is a place where birds don't poop.
It's a desert or a desert.
I've already asked the people in the village. , this big food peninsula Most of it is desert, and the rest is bare mountains.

There are quite a few oases, flatlands, and pastures, but they are all very small and cannot support many people.
The cannibals here only eat beef, mutton, and camel meat. , the staple food is this jujube.”
Bai Xiaode's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said in disbelief: "No way, don't they grow wheat, beans, highland barley, and alfalfa?"
Hou Kaiwen said: "There is too little arable land here, and they don't know how to farm.
Most people have to make a living by grazing and eating this kind of jujube.
Only nobles, officials and wealthy businessmen can eat white flour.
White flour is also purchased from Syria, Canaan, and Persia in the north, and you can’t see it here at all.”
Bai Xiaode was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said stupidly: "No, this is really a place where birds don't poop."
Hou Kaiwen remembered something and said coquettishly: "This is indeed a barren land, but there is one thing you may not know.
In this barren land, men here can marry up to four wives, and their sexual ability It's so strong that a wife can't stand it at all.
Compared with them, I feel ashamed to death.
Along the way, I have asked many cannibals about their sexual abilities, whether they are poor, rich or powerful.
Qiang, guess what I found to be the cause of this situation."
Bai Xiaode is also a man.
Of course he is also curious about this question and can't help but ask: "What is the reason?"
Hou Kaiwen said: "It's meat and dates.
They eat these things every day."
Bai Xiaode took a sip of the jujube paste, slurped it up a few times, and then said: "It tastes good, but it's okay to eat a few times.
If I eat it every day, I'll probably vomit if I eat too much.
I don’t know how your Majesty came up with the idea of conquering this barren land.
I really don’t believe that you can become alive just by eating meat and this paste.”
Hou Kaiwen was too lazy to pay attention to him: "If you don't believe it, forget about it.
Seventy miles south is the Hail Market.
This is the main transportation route leading to Syria and Persia.
It is a very large market here.
Herdsmen and caravans from hundreds of miles around will come here to trade.
As long as we capture this place, we can get some supplies and maybe a large amount of food.
Of course, there will definitely be no shortage of livestock."
Bai Xiaode took a big bite of the pie and said: "The soldiers are almost rested.
How about we set off tonight.
Seventy miles is not too far.
Even if there are infantry behind us, we can arrive before dawn."
Hou Kaiwen frowned and said: "I'm afraid that the infantry will no longer have combat effectiveness by the time we arrive at Hail Market after marching all night."
Bai Xiaode looked down on Hou Kaiwen's style of acting, being too timid.
Although he had to be cautious when fighting in an unfamiliar environment, he should not be too careful.
Being too cautious would limit his hands and feet and delay the opportunity to fight.
He said: "Brother, we have three thousand cavalry.
When we arrive in Hail, the infantry does not have to participate in the battle.
I will only lead three thousand cavalry to attack.
Even if Hail has an iron wall, I will break out a gap for you.
Do you believe it?"
I don’t believe that soldiers are valuable and quick.
Brother, you just said that we are far away from here.
Hail is only seventy miles away.
We have been here for a day.

If we delay any longer, Hail's cannibals will be prepared.
When marching and fighting, we must take them by surprise.
Waiting until the enemy is fully prepared is not called Fighting is like chewing hard bones, you know, you might break your teeth."
Hou Kaiwen rubbed his face and sighed: "Okay, you are the commander when we are marching and fighting.
You have the final say.
We will not interfere."
After nightfall, Bai Xiaode and Hou Kaiwen ordered their troops and horses to march toward Hail, seventy miles away in the south.
The leader of the way was the village chief of Zhubai Village, who was also the leader of this small tribe.
Hou Kaiwen asked him to be the guide after careful consideration.
Yes, threatening the lives of hundreds of people in the village, young and old, the village chief would not dare to play tricks, otherwise the whole village would be massacred waiting for him.
The Western Qin light cavalry is usually equipped with two horses, but during the march, the horses will most likely be given up to the infantry, which can increase the marching speed.
However, the situation is different this time, because the battle must be started immediately after arriving at Hail.
Let the war horses retain enough strength, and the infantry can only walk, which makes the marching speed not very fast, and in the desert, even if there are horses, the speed cannot be much faster.
Only seventy miles away, Bai Xiaode led the army to walk all night and arrived at the outskirts of Hail at dawn.
It was indeed a huge market, with not only large wooden houses and tents, but also many stone houses.
The army was lined up on the high hill.
Bai Xiaode and Hou Kaiwen stood at the front of the army on horseback.
When the first ray of dawn appeared in the sky, Hail below the high hill finally lifted her black veil.
The unsuspecting Hail appeared in front of an army of six thousand, like a naked cannibal girl.
At this time, almost all the cannibals in Hail were greeting the dawn of the sky and praying.
"Master Hou, please stay and lead the infantry, and raid the formation for me."
Hou Kaiwen himself is a scholar.
Although he also practices martial arts, his three-legged cat skills are nothing compared to Bai Xiaode.
Although Bai Xiaode is fifty years old, he is still brave and powerful and can eat a sheep in one meal.
"Okay, if there is any situation, send the signal and I will bring the infantry over immediately for reinforcements."
Bai Xiaode nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword.
This was not a charge, but a charge.
The knife was more lethal, more flexible and lighter, and easier to kill.
"The first light of dawn has appeared.
We can't wait any longer.
It will get brighter if we wait any longer.
Now is the best time to attack.
Send the order.
The cavalry will rush down with me, and the infantry will leave a grazing array."
The two torches kept shaking in the hands of the messenger.
When the torches fell and went out, everyone rode their horses forward.
Bai Xiaode raised his sword and rode his horse down the hill.
The three thousand cavalry behind him also rushed down one after another. , the horses' hooves trampled on the ground, the vibration amplitude increased from small to large, and the sound also increased from small to loud.
In the dawn light, three thousand Western Qin cavalry rushed down from the hills like a black torrent, kicking up sand and dust all over the sky.
A large number of cavalry rushed from high places to low places, bringing huge momentum.
As the speed became faster and faster, the momentum suddenly increased.
The big cannibal who was praying everywhere in the market straightened up and looked shocked.
Keep looking towards the hills.
A ray of sunlight shone on the Xi Qin cavalry, which was sprinting with all its strength.
Each piece of dark metal armor and a shining sword shone with dazzling light.

Dozens of shrill cries sounded in the market: "Enemy attack, enemy attack" Countless cannibals in the market discovered the Western Qin cavalry that was rushing towards them.
Each Western Qin cavalry was wrapped in steel armor.
Some even saw the cruel and bloodthirsty expressions on the faces of those Western Qin cavalry.
The market There was complete chaos among them.
Some of the big cannibals quickly picked up their swords and guns to fight, while others fled everywhere
