"Attack the enemy, advance the enemy!" , Zhao Hui collapsed weakly on the chair after being helped up by the guards, and kept talking to himself; This battle went very smoothly, and several cities at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains were recovered in October, and Mu Zhuolun's troops were blocked in the city of Yarkand; I thought that I would be able to return to the dynasty by taking it down in a war, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has always had the most important military merits, and with this merit in pacifying the Tianshan Mountains, I should almost be crowned a duke, but I didn't expect that now I have fallen into a dead end; The grain and grass were burned, and I am afraid that I will not be able to hold out on to the day when the reinforcements of Fude, the right deputy general of Dingbian, and Aligon, the minister of Balikun, arrive. Even if he was lucky enough to escape, it would be enough to die so many Han people, but Ailonga was born in the Manchuria Zhenghuang Banner, Shi Santai was born in the Manchuria Zhengbai Banner, these two are both people from the Three Banners, and they are deeply favored by the emperor, Namuzar is from a worse background and is a Mongolian Zhengbai Banner, but the relationship between Mongolia and the harem is not shallow; After the news reaches back to the capital, I don't know how many uncles in the flag will want to find trouble for themselves.

"General, this news must not be leaked! There is not much food and grass in the camp, and if the soldiers know about the morale of the army, it will be chaotic! Mingrui, the head of the household department, also got the news, and hurriedly came in and waved back and said to Zhaohui that he was in charge of the prime minister's grain and grass, and he was more anxious than Zhaohui after learning the news.

"Let's just say that Elona has already received the grain and grass, and he will be able to rush back in three days!" After a while, Zhaohui commanded.

"General, you're drinking to quench your thirst! If the food and grass do not arrive after three days, the soldiers will have to mutiny! Mingrui was sweating profusely.

"What are you panicking about!" , In the end, it is a veteran of a hundred battles, Zhaohui has already made a decision for a while, "The whole army will attack early tomorrow morning, as long as Yarkand City can be defeated, what is the problem of grain and grass?" ”

Zhaohui is planning to make a lonely bet, Mingrui still wants to persuade again, seeing Zhaohui's eagle-like eyes retracted again, Zhaohui is strict in governing the army, once the military order is issued, it cannot be refuted, if he still insists, I am afraid that Zhaohui will take his head to sacrifice the flag.

Just thinking about it, someone outside came to report, but it was the three grids of the deputy capital of Mongolia under the white flag, and the three grids came in with joy, "General Qiqi, my subordinates have seen a traitor and old and weak grazing with thousands of cattle and sheep in the south of Yarkand City for a few days, if you can take away the grain and grass of our department, the dilemma will be solved immediately!" Sange is a high-ranking general, and he can't hide the matter of grain and grass?

"Really? Is there an ambush for the enemy? Zhaohui stood up, thinking to himself, could it be that God had left a way for himself to live? With this batch of cattle and sheep, how can they hold out until Fude and Aligon's reinforcements arrive.

"It's true, the subordinates have been staring at them for several days, and the grazing crowd is all old and weak; The probe horse probed many times, but no ambush was found! Sange replied respectfully.

"Good! If you can take the city of Yarkand, I will remember your first merit! Seeing that the battle situation was showing a hint of vitality, Zhaohui naturally did not hesitate to reward him, walked to the center of the big tent and sat down, "Gather all the generals and prepare for battle tomorrow!" ”

After the half-pillar incense, Gao Tianxi, the chief soldier of Xining Town, the commander of the escort army, E Shi, the superintendent of the imperial history, and the guards and other generals all arrived in the tent, Zhaohui first asked Sange to say the information he got in detail, and then looked around the account, "Which general is willing to take the lead tomorrow?" ”

"General! The end will be wished! Sange came out of the queue and replied with his fists in his fists, he mistakenly believed in the enemy's plan to surrender last year, and let go of a large number of traitors, which led to the seizure of his position, and this time he saw an opportunity to restore his position, of course he refused to let it go.

"Good! Tomorrow, you will lead 500 troops to ambush in the south of the city, and when you hear the sound of cannons, you will immediately kill them, and you will not seek to kill or injure the enemy, but will go all out to rob the cattle and sheep! After saying that, Zhaohui threw the arrow of the order, and Sange picked up the arrow and returned to the queue; Zhaohui pulled out another arrow, "Special pass, listen to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

"The last general!" , the two walked out of the queue and stood in the tent.

"Each of you will lead 500 men and horses with the general, and if the enemy army comes out of the city, immediately join the battle with it, and cover the three divisions to plunder cattle and sheep!"

"The Last General's Order!" , the two took the order and retreated.

"Gao Tianxi!"

"The last general!"

"Tomorrow, you continue to lead the men and horses to attack the rebel defense line, don't fall into a fierce battle with a feint, and don't let the rebel find something unusual!"

"The Last General's Order!"

At the same time, Mu Zhuolun's big tent in Yarkand City was also crowded with people, and the leaders of the Red Flower Society and the cavalry teams of the tribe held their breath and looked at Huo Qingtong at the top; Huo Qingtong began to arrange the arrow in an orderly manner, "Captain of the second team of Qingqi, you lead five hundred brothers to hold on to the south bank of the Heishui River, and do not allow the Qing soldiers to cross the river. When the opponent's army is coming, you must not fight with them, just to delay time, and if a Qing soldier crosses the river, don't come to see me. The captain was ordered to return to the ranks.

Huo Qingtong said again, "The captain of the first team of the White Flag, you lead the people of the headquarters to continue grazing in the south of the city tomorrow, and after the Qing army comes, they will only be defeated but not won, and the cattle and sheep will be discarded all the way, leading them to chase them across the river!." ”

The captain has always been fierce and competitive, and in the past few days, he has been arranged to lead the old and weak to graze, and he has long held back the fire in his belly, and said proudly, "Our warriors under the Tianshan Mountain will only win battles, and I will not defeat battles; Why do you give away your own animals? I'm not going to do it! ”

Huo Qingtong's small mouth tightened, and he asked in a deep voice, "You don't listen to orders?" ”

The captain raised his sword and shouted, "You lead us to victory, and I will listen to your orders." You told me to defeat the battle, and I refused to accept it. ”

Huo Qingtong said, "I am leading you to victory." You retreat first, and then counterattack. ”

The captain red-eyed and exclaimed, "Who would believe this nonsense, how can they deceive me?" I've been fighting since I was twelve, and I've never received such an order in more than twenty years! ”

Huo Qingtong shouted, "Grab it." Four soldiers rushed forward and grabbed him by both arms. The captain didn't resist, just sneered.

Huo Qingtong said loudly, "The Manchurian soldiers came to bully us, and we must work together as one to win the battle." Do you listen to orders? ”

The captain shouted, "Don't listen! What can you do to me? Chen Jialuo shook his head lightly beside him, no one can stop people from looking for death!

Huo Qingtong said, "Cut him down!" The captain was conceited and brave, thinking that Huo Qingtong would not dare to punish him, and when he heard this, his face was as pale as earth, and his soldiers pushed him out of the tent and cut off his head with a knife. Huo Qingtong ordered the first level to be displayed to the public, and all the troops were awe-inspiring, and no one dared to disobey the next order.

Early the next morning, it was not yet dawn; At the same time, two teams of people and horses quietly poured out of Yarkand City and Zhaohui Camp at the same time, gathered in the south of Yarkand City, and the decisive battle between the two sides was about to begin.
