In late spring, the sun is just right.

After a long cold winter, when the warm spring came, the desert finally felt warm.

The battlefield is also beginning to wake up like an animal that has finished its winter.

The coalition forces in the Western Regions are about to move, and Lu Dongzan can bear it, but the others really can't bear it.

Such a battlefield is really unpleasant. Especially Ashina Helu, he is still young, he would rather fight a good battle, win, is good, even if he loses, if he wants to escape, then he has to be a simple!

Of course, this winter, he didn't get anything, Lu Dongzan didn't know why, as long as he wanted to ask for advice, Lu Dongzan would teach.

Later, Ashina Helu figured it out, Lu Dongzan wanted him to survive, and then gave Datang some trouble. When Datang was weakened, give Datang some blows.

Ashina Helu wanted to laugh a little, Lu Dongzan has been smart all his life, why didn't he think that according to the current trend of Datang, who can compete within a hundred years? There was a Han Dynasty in the Central Plains that died with strength, could it be that there was another Tang Dynasty that was strong and defeated at its peak?

He really thinks it's impossible, so, if he escapes, then he will definitely not turn back easily, the Turks are scimitars, but also sharp arrows, when have you ever seen a sharp arrow shot out, can you turn back?

Ashina Helu pursed the corners of his mouth, and then, he suddenly pouted.

What did he see? He was used to such a strange battlefield, what else could he do?

That's because he saw a very strange phenomenon.

This season is spring, and it is the season of late spring, if you are in the Central Plains, or next to the Lake of Life, you can see green, and it is natural.

But on this battlefield, before the two armies faced each other, even if it was a little green, it had already been trampled by the war horses of the two armies.

In such a situation, how can there be green?

And it's a tender green!

He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he deliberately stepped forward a little.

He was sure that they were tender green plants, and that they were vegetables! The vegetables were on the camel's back, and there was a box on either side, and there was dirt in the box, and the vegetables were planted in it.

Ashina Helu hissed fiercely, he knew that Lu Dongzan was wrong, this smart and wise guy had miscalculated.

He thought that the army of the Tang Dynasty, when the military rations were finished, there would be no more to eat, especially camels and war horses, the more those things, the more grain and grass they needed, but at this moment, Ashina Helu finally knew why the Tang people had experienced the harsh winter, and they still didn't feel the slightest mistake, and people lived comfortably in their iron shells!

If it goes on like this, the first to collapse can only be his own people, and it is definitely not the military guard of Datang!

He stomped his feet so hard that he even wanted to curse.

The soldiers guarding in front of the battle also began to stir, starving themselves, and the Tang people still had tender green vegetables to eat? If this continues, who will give them the confidence to defeat the Tang people? Since there is no hope in sight, how can their hearts be stabilized?

Ashina Helu can also be regarded as a decisive person, and he went directly to the handsome tent.

At this time, Lu Dongzan and General Mu were already in the tent, and the commotion of the military guards had already been reported to them, and Lu Dongzan's already deep brows were wrinkled even deeper at the moment.

He was as weak as an animal that had just woken up from hibernation, and it was already warm spring, but he was still dressed thickly.

He coughed violently, just because he had discovered his mistake too.

Everyone is indeed trying to be patient, but, obviously, Liu Xu can endure it for a longer time because he has food. Moreover, the most important point is that the oil and salt of the Tang people are more than the strength of the Western Regions Coalition Army, and the turn of spring and summer when there is a shortage of food, I thought it was the end of the Tang Dynasty, but now, it seems to have become the end of my own people.

There are fewer people in the Tang Dynasty, and the food consumed is less, and there are more than 1.2 million people on his side, and the food consumed that day is a huge number, how can he bear it?

"Great Minister, there is a letter from Broken Leaf City."

Before he could speak, another soldier entered the tent, and Lu Dongzan was stunned again and beckoned.

"Great Minister, the sand thieves in Broken Leaf City are becoming more and more chaotic, in the past, at this time of year, they were to plunder the caravanserais, but now, the two armies are fighting, the trade routes are cut off, the food is scarce, the war ahead is delayed, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and the city lord can no longer suppress it."

Lu Dongzan was stunned again.

"Is there any unrest?"

The soldier paused.

"Back to the Great Minister, there is no obvious turmoil in the turmoil. But there is constant friction in the secret, assassinations, thefts, and the city lord's mansion has been taken care of, and the city lord said that such a situation is estimated to not be suppressed for long. ”

Lu Dongzan slapped his palm on the desk fiercely, and his breathing became heavier.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't imagine the specifics.

Liu Xu secretly bought off his rear? How did he get there?

Lu Dongzan thought about it again, but he didn't expect that Lao Xu and these people had been around for about ten years until today.

Lu Dongzan remembered that when he arrived in Shattered Leaf City two years ago, there was also a turmoil at that time, but that matter was later suppressed.

At that time, the military guards were there, and their own people were also there, but now, their own people are far away in Gongyue City.

But Broken Leaf City is far away, but it's not very far.

If Broken Leaf City is in chaos, then Bow Moon City?

The more Lu Dongzan thought about it, the more panicked he became, and his fingers almost trembled.

But he's trying to control, he can't mess around!

"Liu Xu, you are so ruthless!"

He stood up, his eyes fixed on Ashina Horu and Murashid.

"Two, this time it's the old man's fault, fortunately, it's wrong! People, only when they are half-starved are they really desperate. We are wolves, we are eagles, we are short of food, but there is something ahead! Liu Xu wants to disturb our army's heart, but he is also wrong, he forgot, this is the Western Regions, this is the paradise of sand thieves, here, is the hometown of warriors, all of us are the result of our own hard work! Since we have little grain and grass, haha, doesn't Liu Xu have it there, if you want it, go get it, go get it! ”

Ashina Helu smiled, and so did Murashid.

"Great Minister, very good, I will tell my soldiers this."

"Minister, you have taught me another lesson."

.....

The drums of war finally sounded in the desert.

In this sunny day, it sounded.

The drums amazed a crowd of vulture ravens, and they quacked in joy.

They seem to know that war is about to begin. They love the smell of death.

Liu Xu didn't like it, if it was normal, he even wanted to shoot down these things in the air with an arrow.

But now it must not be wasted, he stretched his waist, and when he stood up, he was already in good spirits.

The battlefield is all about potential.

Therefore, when the drums on Liu Xu's side were lit, the soldiers below had already made all the preparations and moved forward, even if they stepped on the next door, they still banged.

"Wind!"

"Roar!"

"Wind!"

"Roar!"

This is the potential, neat and uniform, the sword light is cold!

The ballista clicked again, and it was the most beautiful note in heaven and earth.

The sound of spears striking against shields made people's blood burn.

The Tang military guards do not need to prepare, or rather, they are making the best preparations at any time.

"Come, fight!"

"Come, fight!"

"But if you have the courage to come, fight!"

"Haha!"

Liu Xu smiled and nodded, well, the effect is really good.

Look, that's momentum.

On the battlefield, rely on momentum and courage.

The first to snatch people will not scare you to death!

Lu Dongzan was frightened and gritted his teeth in fright.

Everyone has impulses, especially at his age, especially people like him.

Therefore, after gritting his teeth, there is a sound of killing.

The war horses are hoofed, the battlefield is dusty, the Western Regions Alliance is a spear, a sharp spear, and Liu Xu's side is a shield, a strong shield.

If the spear is sharp enough, it can break the shield, and if the shield is strong enough, it can break the spear!

When they couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't bear it anymore, the spear and the shield finally fought together.

The chariot crept upright, and in front of it was a sharp, sharp iron point.

Behind the chariot is a ballista, raised high, and in the telescope, the speed of the enemy's advance is calculated step by step. When the range arrived, the flag waved down fiercely.

Suddenly, the sound of banging continued to be remembered, and the overwhelming ballista spears, like showers, shot out fiercely. The tail is whining.

The reaction of the Turkic guards could not be said to be unfast, and the shields in their hands were directly erected.

But does it work?

In terms of the quality of steel and the skills of craftsmen, places like the Western Regions are too much worse than Datang.

I only heard the sound of clicking, and then, there was a terrible scream between heaven and earth.

Those who didn't shoot were lucky, and those who did, at least, shot through the shield and through the arm. Seriously, naturally, he was directly shot by a crossbow gun.

Rows of crossbow guns, as well as rows of corpses, became a natural rejection of horses, and the Turkic iron cavalry could not run up to speed, and the impact on the chariots outside was much smaller.

Coupled with the structure like the Macedonian phalanx, a full half an hour has passed, and the people who can run to the front of the formation can almost be described as sporadic.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The military guards of the Tang Dynasty roared again, and Lu Dongzan and the others were so angry that their eyes were bloody, and they almost exploded. Hissing roar, they only roared to strengthen their courage, kill, only with this killing word, to stabilize the restless military heart!

The second impact began again, this time it was the beginning of the foot soldiers, and there were almost no gaps in the rows of shields, Liu Xu did the phalanx, and they also made the phalanx.

The phalanx is the other party's formation, what else can you Liu Xu do!

Liu Xu naturally saw that he had no choice but to retreat.

Fight and retreat.

How could it be possible to hit it so early, then it would lose the advantage of Datang's advanced equipment.

After another round of fire, the cart took a step back, still in unison. The formation did not change at all, like a large circle, and on the outside was a defensive chariot that opened out like a hedgehog.

The phalanx must not be carried out too fast, otherwise, if you step on each other, you can trample to death.

Lu Dongzan watched Liu Xu take a step forward and take a step back, but he didn't directly engage with him, but shrunk in the iron shell, Lu Dongzan was almost mad, he scolded all the vicious words, but it was useless, not to mention that Liu Xu couldn't listen to it, even if he could hear it, he would definitely not pay attention to it.

The phalanx in the Western Regions was still advancing, and they were walking very carefully, ready to guard against the crossbow guns falling from the sky. Liu Xu looked at the group of people, and smiled, and when Liu Xu almost evacuated the place where he stayed at the beginning, the flag on the lookout had changed the flag, and the chariot was stationed again, and every soldier was stuffing cotton with his hands, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion laughed very evilly, and the crossbow guns were erected, and this time the crossbow guns were burning in front of them. The ground began to sizzle, and when the white smoke began to rise between the two armies, Lu Dongzan's face suddenly changed, he seemed to remember something, and before he could shout a word to be careful under his feet, the white smoke that was advancing rapidly, and the firebolts flying from the sky, were already like the sentence of death.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang that shook the sky, and it was gunpowder.

Click, another click. This is fierce fire oil.

The coalition forces in the Western Regions have barely reacted, and the people have been blown up into the sky.

Liu Xu found that in this desert, it is almost too easy to bury gunpowder and fierce fire oil, and you can reach the desired depth without digging hard.

In addition, there is no need for special moisture protection measures.

But there is a premise, that is, the person on the opposite side must be lured over, Lu Dongzan is a cautious person, and he will never be reckless, but now it is different, they must beat Liu Xu and them fiercely, they need a victory, at least, they need a blow to Datang.

Therefore, the gunpowder that was buried under the feet of the first half of the Tang Army Guard has finally played a role at this moment.

Liu Xu is also worried, there is gunpowder underneath, in case of misfire, let alone murder, it is definitely suicide.

If you do that once, you hardly have to fight them, and you will lose.

But in order to win, he can only gamble.

Lu Dongzan's strategy at the beginning was actually right, they besieged but did not attack, as long as their rear was not chaotic, as long as the food and grass were enough, they were definitely the winners! Liu Xu can indeed grow some food here, but how much can he plant? It's not a greenhouse for vegetables, and because of the climate, the chances of sweet potatoes surviving here are really small. And, even if you grow up, how big can you be?

The things that Liu Xu put out were just some carefully selected ones that grew vigorously, but fortunately, Lu Dongzan was fooled. The Western Regions coalition forces were fooled. Coupled with the civil strife in Broken Leaf City, Liu Xu's mood at the moment can only be described as excited.

Most of the gunpowder was buried, and with the addition of fierce fire oil, this explosion almost formed a sandstorm!

Camels finally came in handy, at this time, there was no need to think about the Western Regions Alliance on the other side, if so, they could still fight without fear of death, Liu Xu really admired them!

Wind and sand, screaming, exploding, roaring, screaming.

Telescopes can't see through what's going on on the other side, and it's a hell on earth.

Liu Xu was wearing a silk mask on his nose, he reached out, he could catch a handful of yellow sand, and the trebuchet was still throwing fierce fire oil into the explosion, they hoped to expand the results of the battle, but this was all in vain, God knows how many ears can be picked up in this explosion for them to receive military merits?

"The one who should be killed still has to be killed, ready to pull out the camp, we need to take a look at Lu Dongzan's face, hey, General Su, can you see the figure of the red-haired ghost?"
