Zhao Ziliang rode a Wuli horse in front of the army and walked back and forth, although the morale of the soldiers was low, but Zhao Ziliang's prestige in the army and his great achievements were not comparable to ordinary people, so even under such low morale, the soldiers were still able to abide by the order very well, find their own team and stand in formation.

Zhao Ziliang is very satisfied and relieved, these soldiers were not brought out by him personally, it is commendable to be able to hold on to the present without collapsing, he also knows that there are his own reasons, and at the same time, these Shenwu soldiers are also out of the side, have experienced the war, know how to abide by military discipline, understand that they can't leave the brigade at this time, and they are afraid that they won't be able to leave here alive if they leave the brigade.

"Soldiers, you must have known that there are enemy spies in the army, there are four spies, please investigate, we already know that they have a total of four people, for these four spies, when we arrive in Yizhou, we will note that the Yizhou Thorn Mansion will issue a sea capture document to hunt them down!"

"General Ben knows what the soldiers are most concerned about now, which is food, grass and drinking water, and whether we can get out of these eight hundred miles of Mohe Yanmoan! Yes, the grain and grass we brought have been set on fire by the spies and burned ninety percent, and the drinking water has also been poured out ninety, and our current food and drinking water can only barely support three days, but the soldiers can rest assured, General Ben has long expected that something unexpected will definitely happen in these eight hundred miles of Mohe Yanmo, so he has already sent people to set up a supply point in the depths of this desert under the guidance of the guide, and as long as we arrive at the supply point within two days, we can get enough food, grass and drinking water! ”

Some people were a little disbelieving, and a loud voice came from the ranks: "General, you can't lie to us, right?" ”

"General Ben is a good man who stands up to the sky, a spit and a nail! What's the benefit of lying to you guys? Zhao Ziliang was furious, turned his head and shouted: "Where is the guide? Where is the guide? ”

With Zhao Ziliang's shout, the guide trotted over: "The villain is here, the general, the villain is here!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to the guide: "You come to tell the soldiers of the whole army about the supply point!" ”

"Yes, General!" The guide agreed, and said to all the soldiers: "More than a month ago, the general sent someone to find the villain and said that he would arrange a supply point in the depths of Mohe Yanmoraine, in order to prevent the loss of food, grass and drinking water in the event of an accident or a big storm, so that we can get enough supplies to tide over the difficulties at a critical moment, and now we have reached the critical moment of life and death, the general's foresight was not in vain, and finally played a role, and now we are still two days away from the nearest supply point, as long as we arrive at the nearest supply point in time, We will be able to get enough food, grass and drinking water to get out of these 800 miles of Moheyan! ”

Hearing that Zhao Ziliang had already sent people to set up supply points in the depths of the desert, the situation of the soldiers who were originally very low immediately changed, and they quickly became excited.

Zhao Ziliang saw that the effect was very good, and the fighting spirit that the soldiers had lost was back, and he immediately said in a loud voice: "Okay, now there are still two hours before Yinshi, everyone will return to the camp tent to continue to rest, and after two hours, we will immediately leave the camp and set off to the nearest supply point!" ”

The officers and men of the whole army got up excitedly and agreed: "Obey!" ”

Two days later, the officers and men of the Tang Army dragged their tired bodies in the scorching sun and marched hard, it has been half a day without water and food, in such a hot weather, it may be nothing if they don't eat, no water to drink can kill people, everyone's lips are chapped, one by one weakly with weapons and difficult steps on the sand to slowly advance.

When the army climbed a sand dune, and the guide was watching ahead with a pergola, suddenly he shouted: "General, general, here we are, here we are, we have water to drink, we have food!" ”

In fact, the Tang army was not short of food, after all, a large number of horses had been captured by the bandits before, and the horses could be eaten by killing them, but no water to drink was the most fatal, the horse's blood was too dry, and they were even more thirsty when they drank it. Now that the army had finally arrived at the supply point, the soldiers of the Tang Army saw several tents a mile below the sand dunes, and suddenly everyone yelled excitedly, ready to rush towards the supply point.

Zhao Ziliang immediately shouted: "Everyone is not allowed to mess up, no one is allowed to leave the team without a military order, there is enough water at the supply point, you can drink enough, no chaos, those who violate the order will be killed!" ”

Feared by Zhao Ziliang's coercion, the soldiers held back their thirst for water and food, and one by one they did not dare to leave the team and run to the supply point, so they could only honestly line up down the hill and walk towards the supply point.

Seeing the soldiers happily walking towards the supply point, the guide standing on the sand dunes also reacted, and pointed to the tent of the supply point in a daze: "General, is there really a supply point here in this ・・・・・・?" How is this possible? ”

Zhao Ziliang laughed: "Hahaha・・・・・・ General Ben has already prepared all this with a clever plan, but it is only convincing to say things through your mouth."

The guide suddenly realized: "I see! ”

・・・・・・

On the border line between Shazhou and Yizhou, a 3,000-strong Tang cavalry crossed the border line and entered Moheyanmoraine, led by Li Hongding, the envoy of Shazhou Assassin and Doulu, and followed by Li Linfu's staff Liang Wenzhao.

This time, in order to kill Zhao Ziliang and a thousand Shenwu Army, Li Hongding brought all the cavalry of the Doulu Army, and these three thousand Doulu Army cavalry are very elite, which can be said to be all the family backgrounds of Li Hongding and the Doulu Army.

After entering Mohe Yanmoi, Li Hongding couldn't stand it a little, although most of Shazhou is desert and desert, the environment is much better than Mohe Yanmoraine, at least there are many oases in Shazhou, and this Moheyan moraine walked a hundred and ten miles without seeing a single beast and bird, let alone a plant, it is simply a place of death.

Li Hongding's body was jolting with the trotting of the war horse, and there was much more sand and dust in the air than in Shazhou, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but scold: "This ghost place where birds don't!" ”

Not long after, the cavalry of the 3,000 Doulu Army led by Li Hongding and Liang Wenzhao encountered Ruan Xiaoer and four others who had escaped from the depths of Moheyan.

"I've seen my lord!" The four of them saluted Liang Wenzhao.

Liang Wenzhao nodded, pointed to Li Hongding and introduced: "This is Lord Li, I haven't seen it yet!" ”

The four of them hurriedly said to Li Hongding: "Meet Master Li!" ”

Li Hongding nodded, his expression was a little indifferent, and Liang Wenzhao asked the four of them: "Let you set fire to Zhao Ziliang's grain and grass and pour out the drinking water, have you done it?" ”

The strong man led by the four said: "My lord, I am fortunate not to disgrace my life, even if the Tang army succeeds in fighting the fire, the remaining food and drinking water can only last for three days at most, and now three days have passed, I think their food and drinking water have been exhausted, and in three days, I am afraid that even if they do not starve to death and die of thirst, I am afraid that they will not have half their lives left, right?" ”

Liang Wenzhao looked at Li Hongding after hearing this, and asked, "Master Li, let's hurry up!" ”

"Also, the whole army continues to set off!" Li Hongding issued a military order to continue on the road, and said to Ruan Xiaoer and the other four: "The four of you lead the way, and we will take a shortcut to stop them on the way forward!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After marching for two hours that morning, Zhao Ziliang's army camped and rested under a bare hill that was seriously eroded by the wind, with its back against the bare hill and a slightly higher sand dune in front of it.

After three years of rushing to the Doulu army, under the leadership of Li Hongding and Liang Wenzhao, the cavalry finally crossed into the front of Zhao Ziliang's army and found the approximate location of Zhao Ziliang's army.

Three thousand cavalry trotted towards Zhao Ziliang's army, and a scout Pegasus ran over and reported to Li Hongding: "My lord, there is a sand dune ten miles ahead, and there is a banner behind the dune, it seems that the men and horses are camping behind the dunes!" ”

Li Hongding nodded, and immediately sent someone to summon all the generals and colonels over and said: "There is a rebel army in front of you who has robbed the imperial court of a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry and is preparing to flee to the Western Regions. ”

These generals did not know the truth at all, and when they heard that thirty percent of the gold, silver and jewelry could be distributed, and each of them would certainly not be less in their hands, the soldiers were overjoyed, and one by one they rushed to lead the team to fight the vanguard.

The order was quickly conveyed to every cavalry member of the 3,000 Doulu army, and the soldiers were screaming with excitement one by one, and Li Hongding saw that the morale was available, and immediately ordered the whole army to advance at full speed towards Zhao Ziliang's army.

The momentum brought by the march of 3,000 cavalry at full speed was very large, although it was sandy, but the shaking of the ground and the smoke and dust in the sky were quickly discovered by the guard sentry on the sand dune, and the situation was immediately reported to Zhao Ziliang, who was taken aback when he heard it, and immediately turned over and ran to the sand dune.

Coming to the highest place of the sand dune, Zhao Ziliang picked up the telescope on his chest and looked into the distance, a cavalry appeared at the camera, looking at the scale and the number of banners, there should be 3,000 people, and when this army got closer, Zhao Ziliang finally saw a clear big word from the opponent's flag: "Li"

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ziliang saw a familiar face and a masked man, this acquaintance turned out to be Li Hongding, the assassin of Shazhou and the envoy of Doulu.

"It looks like the person who came is not good! This is a big problem! Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but say.

Ashina Xin, who got the news, also rushed over, just heard Zhao Ziliang's words, and asked, "General, where is this army?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Li Hongding, the assassin of Shazhou and the envoy of the Doulu army, and his three thousand elite cavalry of the Doulu army!" ”

Ashina Xin smiled: "We're all about to get through Mohe Yanmo, this Lord Li is too polite, and he brought someone over to see him off at this time, what a good person!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was speechless for a while when he heard this, and said in his heart Are you really stupid or stupid? Are people here to see them off? He sneered: "Li Hongding is only afraid that he is not here to see him off, otherwise he would not have brought so many soldiers and horses!" ”

"What?" Ashina Xin's face changed drastically, "Does he want to ・・・・・・・?"

Zhao Ziliang nodded solemnly, and said to Brehan: "Brehan, you and Nur took the Whirlwind Eighteen Cavalry and all the cavalry of the Shenwu Army and all of our cavalry to advance in two parts along the foot of the sand dunes to the northeast and southwest, and all the infantry in a certain belt set up a military formation here to wait for the arrival of the enemy army to attract their attention, and when you lead them to attack the infantry formation, you immediately come out from the rear of both sides of the sand dune and rush into their rear!" ”

Brehan was shocked: "General, by all means, there are already less than 600 infantry here, no matter how tight the military formation is, I am afraid that it will not be able to stop the impact of the 3,000 cavalry of the Doulu Army!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "So you must be quick and seize the best opportunity to give Li Hongding and his Doulu army cavalry a fatal blow from behind!" There is no other way but this way! Go ahead and execute! ”

"No!" Brehan had to grit his teeth to carry out the order. (To be continued.) )
