Chapter 329: Desert Crisis

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Chong said emphatically: "Fifth Brother Hua, you have to be very careful, this is not a trivial matter, these grains and grasses are related to the lives of thousands of soldiers, and there can be no accidents." ”

"You kid should be careful that your own life matters, and let Liu Muxiang stay by your side for half a moment tomorrow." Hua Wu explained.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother Hua!" The eldest grandson Chong was grateful.

"No thanks, I'll do things first." After Hua Wu finished answering, he turned off the communication.

The eldest grandson Chong was down-to-earth, fell asleep quickly, and had to cheer up tomorrow, and couldn't be a little sloppy.

"Mu Xiang, don't leave my side, I think it's very dangerous today." The eldest grandson Chong explained.

"The matter of the guide car, has it been solved?" Liu Muxiang asked, looking at the desert as far as the eye could see, anxious.

"It's already arranged, don't worry!" The eldest grandson patted Liu Muxiang's shoulder, finished breakfast, and ordered to set off.

The eldest grandson Chong was worried all the way, but he couldn't practice Hua Wu, yesterday Hua Wu's eldest brother didn't tell him why he couldn't be contacted in the desert during the day, could it be that there is a mystery in this desert?

The sun passed overhead, and Changsun Chong was even more anxious, but Xinhua Wu did not adjust the direction, and they would enter the range of the sandstorm.

"Young Master, what's wrong with you?" Yanagi asked.

Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said, "It's okay, eat something and move on." ”

Trembling, until he saw that the sun was in the west, he did not encounter a sandstorm, and Changsun Chong was relieved, it seemed that the direction had been reversed.

Some people are happy and some are worried, the eldest grandson Chong is happy to have avoided the sandstorm, and even escaped the ambush, but the traitors in the army are worried.

Didn't you say that you would encounter sandstorms? Why hasn't it yet? Could it be that the prediction was wrong?

Changsun Chong had already told Dazhu to observe near the guide car. In addition to the guards guarding the guide car, see who else is approaching the guide car.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Da Zhu came to report and said that there were two people who went to check the guide car at night, one was General Gu, the commander of the army, and the other was General Wu, the deputy commander.

"Two?" The eldest grandson was surprised, could it be that these two people are accomplices and are both moles? Or the moles sent by each of the two groups of people?

"Yes, I inquired a little, Commander Gu will go to see the guide car every day. But not only look at the guide car, there are other according to the customary, daily inspection; Deputy Commander Wu was not in charge of the matter. Otsuki replied.

Changsun Chong thought about it, these two people still couldn't tell which one was a spy, so they could only wait.

The eldest grandson Chong learned from Hua Wu. They still have three days to go out of the desert. Originally, the whole journey only took four days, just because I took the wrong road. It was delayed for two days.

Early the next morning. Changsun Chong ordered to speed up his march and try to arrive in two days, fearing that if there was no ambush behind him, those men would chase after him.

Yesterday, Changsun Chong took advantage of the night to send a general with Changsun Chong's handwritten letter and handed it to Li Yexu, who was at peace with him, and asked him to send reinforcements as soon as possible.

"Great young master. The soldiers complained that they were in too much of a hurry. Da Zhu said with a bitter face, he didn't know why the eldest young master was in a hurry.

The eldest grandson frowned and said, "Ignorant and fearless! We are even in danger of being wiped out along the way, and these people are still tired! ”

"Don't worry. It is estimated that a large army will come over tomorrow night to converge, and even if there is an ambush, there will be a fight. The eldest grandson Chong comforted and said, now is not the time to relax.

It was too dark to travel in the desert, so Changsun Chong had to stop.

Fortunately, nothing happened at night, and Changsun Chong was slightly relieved, and hurriedly ordered a meal, got ready, and set off in a quarter of an hour.

There are less than 20 people in the army, and if that traitor is careful, it is estimated that he will soon be able to find out, so he must move forward at full speed today.

"I know it's tiring, but now that our itinerary has been discovered, and we have a spy in this pair, if you don't want to die, let me go full speed." Changsun Chong had a bad premonition and stepped up his urging.

The soldiers passed ten, ten to hundred, no longer nagging, and it was better to be tired than to die.

When it was close to noon, Changsun Chong's people stopped to rest for a while, and hurriedly ate dry food and drank water, but at this moment, Changsun Chong saw a yellow whirring patch in the distance, as if the wind and sand had been blowing.

"Get ready to fight! Lined up! "Changsun Chong knew that there should be no sandstorms on this road, and the only possibility was that someone was chasing him.

When those people found out that they had not entered the trap, they immediately chased after them, as expected.

Liu Muxiang pulled out his spear, blocked in front of Changsun Chong, and said, "Young Master, you are behind me, don't move." ”

Changsun Chong knew how many catties and taels he had, and said, "I know, you should pay attention to yourself." ”

Sure enough, I saw some people dressed in black and wearing masks galloping towards me.

Changsun Chong was not afraid in his heart, because there were 3,000 soldiers escorting grain and grass this time, which could withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people. Now there are no sandstorms, the caravan has suffered very little losses, there is plenty of drinking water, and it has just eaten and replenished water.

"Since you're here, why are you hiding it, wearing a mask, and not daring to show it?" Eldest Sun Chong said loudly.

"You don't know, you just need to know that you can't get out of this desert." The leader held the curve in his hand and said sharply.

The eldest grandson sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't have this ability!" ”

Deputy Commander Wu was beside Changsun Chong, stepped forward and said, "Eldest Sun Xiaoshou, I don't know what I'm capable of?" The long sword in his hand was placed next to Changsun Chong's neck.

"Haha, your general has been captured, so let's hurry up and capture it." The man in black laughed wildly and said, this Deputy Commander Wu can be regarded as having atonement for his crimes. They stared in the desert for two days, not waiting for the caravan, which, according to the spies' report, learned that they had changed direction.

Eldest Sun Chong sneered: "Deputy Commander Wu, are you really a spy?" ”

"Well, yes so what!" Deputy Commander Wu smirked, "You are now my captive. ”

"General Li values you so much, Your Majesty trusts you, why do you want to rebel?" Eldest Sun Chong asked, it stands to reason that this Deputy Commander Wu is in the prime of life, and his future is immeasurable.

"Hmph, guide me to be from Tuyuhun, so it can always be explained!" Deputy Commander Wu replied, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and lay down your weapons, otherwise I will kill General Changsun." ”

"I see! Leave me alone, even if you lay down your arms, they won't let me go, and they won't spare your lives. Changsun Chong said to the other soldiers.

They are all bloody soldiers, and they really didn't expect that the person who eats and sleeps with them on weekdays is actually Deputy Commander Wu, and they feel uncomfortable and even more angry!

However, General Changsun was of noble birth and has always been approachable, and has repeatedly made great contributions to the imperial court, and it is said that the kind of high-yield rice and the warm cotton clothes on his body were cultivated by General Changsun. They wanted to die for General Changsun, and they hesitated what to do?

Liu Muxiang was not far from Changsun Chong, and the spear in his hand pulled out a spear flower, like lightning to pick up the arrow on the neck of Deputy Commander Wu, and Changsun Chong fell off the horse.

Liu Muxiang saw that Changsun Chong had fallen off his horse, and there was no threat to his life, so he concentrated on dealing with it, Deputy Commander Wu.

Even if Deputy Commander Wu was strong and burly, in front of Liu Muxiang, who was as fast as the wind, he was stabbed in a few rounds, picked off his horse, and the surrounding soldiers quickly surrounded him.

Liu Muxiang saw Deputy Commander Wu fall off the horse, only to realize that there was a lot of cold sweat on her back, but fortunately, Xianggong was fine, and she didn't miss it. Although it was a bit dangerous, he finally got rid of the spies in the caravan.

"General, are you alright?" Liu Muxiang hurriedly asked.

Changsun Chong got back on the horse and replied with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine!" ”

The eldest grandson scolded: "Your inner should have fallen into our hands, since you are here, don't go, let the horse come!" ”

The man in black saw that Deputy Commander Wu had been solved so easily, and he secretly cursed in his heart, useless things. In this way, it was solved, and I knew that it was better to let him continue to be buried in the Tang army, maybe it would be of great use in the future. It took a lot of effort to develop a spy in the Tang army.

"Kill them!" The man in black waved the scimitar in his hand and said loudly.

Part of the people guarded the camel team, and the other part of the Tang Dynasty soldiers who had been lined up into a square, the front row was holding a hook and sickle spear, the second row, which was holding a Zhuge repeater, and the third row was specially prepared to put arrows into the replaced Zhuge repeater.

The black pressure was already within range, and after the people in the second row took aim, they pulled the mechanism, and Zhuge fired two arrows from the crossbow, and the men in black fell off their horses one after another. Luckily, a few people ran to the front of the line, and the soldiers in the first row quickly used their hook and sickle to cut off the horse's leg first, and fell off the horse.

Before he could stand up, he had been stabbed to death with a spear.

Liu Muxiang protects Changsun Chong, Huo Qiang and Dazhu, so that he can free his hands and participate in the battle.

The advantage of cavalry is that it is fast, but sometimes it is also a disadvantage, and this method of formation in the Tang Dynasty was specially invented for nomads, with clear layers and powerful attacks.

There are 5,000 people at the end of the month, and there are 3,000 people on the Datang side.

The war went on for an hour, and more than half of the men in black were lost, and the Tang army also lost hundreds.

Just when the eldest grandson was anxious and wanted to end the war as soon as possible, there was a loud shouting and killing sound from behind.

Changsun Chong smiled, this is the voice of the Tang army, it seems that the general sent before has already delivered the letter.

Sure enough, Li Yexu took the lead and galloped with 5,000 men and horses.

When the Tang army saw the reinforcements coming, their morale increased greatly, and they fought even harder to kill the enemy.

With Li Yexu's joining, the tide of the battle turned in an instant, and the men in black saw that the Tang army had come to reinforce the army, so they hurriedly retreated, otherwise none of them would want to live. After a desperate struggle to break through, the leader of the men in black left with more than a thousand people. (To be continued......)
