On the 17th day of February in the first year of Tiaolu, it was sunny, the blue sky was cloudless, the sky was hot, the sun had just risen, and the desert was already a heat wave.

Tianhuang Mountain, located in the depths of the desert, although the name is called Tianhuang, but it is not a place where no grass grows, but a green mountain range that spans more than 500 miles, although the mountains are some low bushes, but it is a rare green landscape in the desert, all this is only because the mountain blocks the humid air in the south, the rainfall is much more abundant than the rest of the desert, and there are many springs in the mountain, it is a place where the beasts gather, but because of the lonely hanging in the depths of the desert, except for the occasional caravan, there are few people.

"The whole army stops, array, array!"

Although the Heavenly Barren Mountain seemed to be tranquil, there seemed to be nothing wrong, but Yazid ibn Abu did not dare to be careless, even if he was extremely anxious in his heart, anxious to rescue the trapped Muhan Ali Kenyan, but he did not dare to rush directly into the gorge in the mountain, for fear of a possible ambush, in view of this, he had already ordered the whole army to gather the scattered formation, and in addition to the array, he did not forget to send rangers to the mountain and the gorge to find out the truth.

"Division commander, the thieves are very cautious, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to fight!"

Halfway up the mountain, Wan Chenghe, the commander of the First Brigade who was lying beside Xiao Sanlang, couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw the Great Food Army acting so cautiously, and muttered to Xiao Sanlang with some emotion.

"Rid all those rangers!"

Xiao Sanlang ignored Wan Chenghe's emotion at all, and after carefully observing it for a while with a monocular in his hand, he quietly gave the order.

"Good Ratcha."

Wan Chenghe was originally an optimist, although he complained that this battle was not easy to fight, but in fact, he did not have the slightest fear of difficulties, this time he heard Xiao Sanlang's order, smiled happily, and agreed sharply, and ran to the front line along the trench.

"Bah, ......"

The big food army sentry team is obviously a battle-hardened generation, and the tactical actions are quite familiar, first rode a horse in front of the mountain for a while, and then sent a small force into the valley to inspect, and then sent several teams down the mountain, the search score is not careful, not long, it has approached the first trench at the mountainside, at this time, the luck of the big food sentry is also used up, but listening to a burst of fried bean-like gunshots, the big food sentry is searching up and advancing when it falls most of the time, The few remaining men were so frightened that they dropped their swords and fled down the hill with their belts crawling to the ground.

"Report, Your Highness, there is an ambush on the mountain, the specific number is unknown!"

As soon as the gunfire rang out on the mountainside, the sentry guards who were still patrolling at the foot of the mountain did not dare to linger any longer in the dangerous place, and did not care about the life or death of the brothers who went up the mountain, and rushed back to the Chinese army with a frenzied horse, and in a panic reported the situation to Yazid ibn Abu.

"Hmm!"

There was no need for a sentry to come and give a report, but as early as the gunfire rang out on the mountainside, Yazid ibn Abu knew the answer, and he was not interested in the sentry's report, but waved his hand indifferently, and with a noncommittal whisper, he sent the sentry officer who had come to report the news.

"Hussein, what do you think about this?"

After sending off the sentry, Yazid ibn Abu did not rush to give the order, but pondered for a moment, turned his gaze to Muhammad Subn al-Hussein, who was standing at his side, and asked inquiringly.

"If you go back to Your Highness, the last general will think that there may be another ambush in this move, and it seems that it is not appropriate to attack, if you go around the mountain and go straight to the back of the mountain, even if there are more tricks in this mountain, there is no place to play it."

Muhammad Subn Hussein was really frightened by the sharp firearms of **, and when he saw that the musket troops were guarding the mountain, he was afraid of it early, but he would never dare to show it in front of Yazid ibn Abu, so he spoke euphemistically.

"Your Highness, don't do this, this mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, if our army goes around the mountain, it will take two more days, and by then, Lord Kenyan's department is afraid that it has already been wiped out, even if our army arrives, what is the significance!"

As soon as Muhammad Subn al-Hussein could finish speaking, before Yazid ibn Abu could say anything, a stout bearded general flashed out and spoke out in disagreement.

"Oh? So what does General Abdul think should be? ”

At this point, it was Aziz ibn Abdul, the first fierce general in the army, who stood up against him, and Yazid ibn Abu immediately raised his eyebrows, but did not comment on what he said, but asked unhurriedly.

"Your Highness, the last general thinks that when the battle, although the terrain of this mountain is dangerous, but there is no place for the cavalry to hide, it can be seen that there are only some infantry in the Tang thieves on the mountain, according to Lord Kenyan's letter yesterday, the main force of the Tang thieves is dozens of miles away from the mountain, even if they rush back, they can't launch a surprise attack on our army, it is a battle, our army has been in a situation where the attack can be retreated and defended, if this mountain can be captured, it can ensure that the department of Lord Kenyan can be rescued, even if it can't be overcome, it is not difficult for our army to retreat, even so, why not try hard!"

Although Aziz ibn Abd al-Abdul was known for his martial prowess, he was not a man of great courage, and he was also quite capable in military strategy.

"Your Highness, you will give the order, I will wait for the war!"

"Your Highness, let's fight!"

……

The main force of the Great Food Army is a troop transferred from the Western Front, and all the Great Food generals are warlike people, although they have heard that the power of ** muskets and artillery is extremely strong, but they don't care, and at this time they were instigated by Aziz ibn Abdul, and they all grabbed out, all of them wanted to fight, everyone shouted to kill, and their morale was very high.

"Well, who dares to take down this mountain for Ben Shuai?"

Yazid ibn Abu also wanted to attack the mountain, after all, if you go around the mountain, the road is too far, if you want to rescue Kenyan's department, and even seize the main force, the only chance is to take this mountain as soon as possible, this reason Yezid ibn Abu has a lot in his heart, the reason why he wants to ask the generals, but he wants to muster the heroic spirit of the generals to fight bravely, at this time, seeing that the generals have already expressed their attitude, he will not hesitate anymore, a press hand, signal the generals to be quiet, and then asked solemnly.

"The last will go!"

As soon as Aziz ibn Abdul's words fell, Aziz ibn Abd al-Abd was the first to stand up and plead.

"The last general is also willing to fight!"

"The last general, please go to war, please ask Your Highness for permission!"

……

The generals of the Western Front were all battle-hardened, and they were full of fighting spirit, but only Mohammed Suben Hussein stood silently on the sidelines, obviously suspicious of the attack on the mountain.

"Okay, General Abdul, this commander Linger led his troops and horses to attack the mountain, and he must take this mountain before the sun sets, can you be confident?"

Apparently pleased with the bravery of his generals, Yazid ibn Abu nodded with satisfaction and handed over the task to Aziz ibn Abdul, who had been the first to ask for battle.

"Your Highness, rest assured, you can't take this mountain, and the last general will come to see you!"

Aziz ibn Abdul's heart was already boiling with fighting spirit, and when he heard that the crown prince had ordered his general, how could he be unhappy, so he bowed down excitedly and impassionedly issued the military order.

"Well, okay, what you want is this courage, General Abdul just goes down to prepare for war, all the heavy responsibilities are called by the general, and the commander is here to cheer for the general, go!"

Yazid ibn Abu clapped his hands appreciatively and comforted Aziz ibn Abdul.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Having received the order, Aziz ibn Abd al-Abdul did not want to waste a moment, so he hurriedly answered his promise, rushed out of the Chinese army in great strides, and sent troops from his headquarters.

"Your Highness, although General Abdul is brave enough to win the three armies, he has not yet fought with **, and if he attacks as usual, he may inevitably suffer losses."

Muhammad Subn Hussein did not want to attack the mountain, but all the generals wanted to fight, and Yazid ibn Abu also wanted to attack the mountain, so he was not good at giving more advice on this issue, but he was worried that he had been ambushed by **, and his heart was extremely uneasy.

"Well, it's okay, just work hard for General Hussein to go and cooperate with General Abdul to attack the mountain?"

The reason why Yazid ibn Abu brought Muhammad Subn Hussein, the general of the defeated army, with him was to draw on his experience in fighting with **, and seeing that what he said was reasonable, he thought it was true, and after a little silence, he gave the order in an inquiring tone.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Muhammad Subn al-Hussein was a cautious man, knowing the value of his own existence, and would not refuse Yazid ibn Abu's request, and after answering it, he hurried to Aziz ibn Abd al-Abd on the left.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

The Great Food Army came prepared for this expedition, all kinds of baggage reserves are quite abundant, and they are all divisions of a hundred battles, and the tactical actions are quite fast, before and after just a stick of incense, a tight horn sound has sounded violently, and then I saw a group of big food infantry cavalry marching out of the formation, methodically forcing towards the foot of the mountain, and the prelude to a major offensive and defensive battle was opened......
