Chapter 1222: Attacked

Wang Xian and Wang Zhongde, who had never been immobile in the eight winds, were actually shocked by this Nirvana's words, and interrupted him rudely, "Shut up! ”

Liu Sheng was originally glaring at the Nirvana angrily, thinking that this guy couldn't spit out ivory from his mouth, and if he talked nonsense again, he would inevitably give him some bitterness on the spot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But what Liu Sheng didn't expect was that Nirvana actually spit out such a 'big rebellion' in his mouth, and he felt that this guy was much cuter......

Until he saw Wang Xian drinking Nirvana, he looked at himself angrily, and instantly a spirit, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's none of my business......

When Wang Xian heard these words, he subconsciously thought that this was what Liu Sheng taught him, but he thought about it, although Liu Sheng looked like a rough man, but there was a lot of finesse, how could such a big thing be persuaded by a foreigner.

Seeing Liu Sheng's appearance, Wang Xian concluded that the words of Nirvana had nothing to do with Liu Sheng. Wang Xian was still depressed and wanted to vomit blood, even a steppe tartar thought that he would be the emperor, could it be that he was in the hearts of others, was it really Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knew it?

Liu Sheng waved his hand, and asked people to take the Nirvana down first, and when there was no one left and right, he lowered his voice and said to Wang Xian: "Grandpa is expected to return, even this Tatar who is far away in the desert, he only knows that there is a grandfather but does not know that there is a court ......" Saying that, he stared at Wang Xian and said: "Now it is not a question of whether the grandfather wants to or not, but it has to be like this, otherwise he will definitely die!" ”

"......" Wang Xian felt a little aggrieved, so he could only sigh and say: "Let's talk about what to do after taking Arutai......

Liu Sheng could already feel the wavering in Wang Xian's heart, and knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he no longer dwelled on the matter, but said with a smile: "Okay, will the grandfather agree or not to agree to this condition of nirvana?" ”

"There are dry bones in the grave, what difference does it make if you agree or not." Wang Xian looked at the desert with yellow sand in the distance silently, and his tone was cold.

"Cheng, then promise him first." Liu Sheng understood, waved his hand and ordered someone to bring Nirvana over, and said to him roughly: "Your request, Grandpa agreed, hurry up and let it go!" ”

"Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Lord Hou! Hearing this, Nirvana Gan was overjoyed, kowtowed like garlic and said: "The villain will definitely bring his clansmen to return to the Ming Dynasty in the future, no, to submit to the grandfather......"

"Don't say these, your grandfather has also agreed to your conditions." Liu Sheng said angrily: "Tell me quickly, where is your loach Lao Tzu hiding?" ”

"Hundreds of miles deep into the desert, there's an oasis called a typhoon shelter, and the old thing must have taken refuge there. The villain will lead the army to smash the Yellow Dragon and capture that old thing alive and present it to the grandfather! "When you lose your nirvana and your wish is fulfilled, you naturally know that everything is endless.

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with interest: "Very good, you will draw a map, and when you catch Arutai, you will be the new King of Tatar!" ”

"The villain only knows the road, but he can't draw ......a map," Nirvana said with a bitter face when he heard this.

"If you want to draw, you can paint, where is so much nonsense!" Liu Sheng rolled his eyes and sneered. Even if they believe that what Nirvana said is true, they will not be so hasty as to rush into the desert with him with a large army without verifying it, what if Nirvana incarnates as the grassland hero Wang Erxiao?

Soon, the guards brought a rough map of the grassland, which was surveyed and drawn by the scouts of the Jinyi Guard. After a long time of drawing on the map, he finally circled a large area and said, "It should be in this location." ”

When Liu Sheng saw it, he was furious, slapped the back of the head of the nirvana, and scolded: "Why don't you enclose the entire desert!" How do you find such a big place?! "The area drawn by the Lost Nirvana is the size of an egg on the map, and when you put it on the actual terrain, it is at least two hundred miles in radius!

Holding his head, he said with a look of grievance: "The villain went with that old thing once more than ten years ago, and he only remembered the general direction......

"What?!" Liu Sheng was furious when he climbed the mountain, and kicked his foot: "That's not what you said just now!" ”

Nirvana hugged his head and wailed: "What the villain said is a bit exaggerated, but Hou Ye rest assured, the villain will be able to find it when he arrives, and he will definitely be able to find ......."

Liu Sheng beat the Nirvana again and asked him to draw the map more accurately, which made people drag down the Nirvana Gan, who had become a pig's head again.

Liu Sheng presented the map drawn by the Lost Nirvana, Wang Xian glanced at it, and handed it to Mo Wen, who was standing aside.

Mo Wen took the map and looked at it for a while, then raised his head and said, "Grandpa, judging from the map drawn by the Lost Nirvana, there is no exact location of the oasis on the map, only an approximate range. He frowned slightly and continued: "Our army must go deep into the desert for at least more than 100 miles, and if we don't send someone to verify it, I'm afraid we can't rush to send troops." ”

"I'm afraid I'll startle the snake!" Liu Sheng said angrily: "If you alarm the old fox, it will be difficult to catch him again." ”

"There's no need to worry about this," Wang Xian shook his head slightly and said, "I invite a few senior brothers to come out, they are strong in martial arts and are better at concealing their figures, if they go deep into the desert, they will not alarm the Nirvana." ”

"That's great!" Liu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew that those monks who were always inseparable from Wang Xian were extremely powerful characters. In the Battle of Jingjing, they went deep into the enemy territory countless times to spy on the military situation for King Yan, and they never missed. "Let a few masters go, and you will be able to lock the exact location of the typhoon shelter, and you will be hit with one hit!"

Mo Wen also nodded in agreement.

Now that there is a plan. Wang Xian said in a deep voice to the heart beside him: "I'm tired of a few senior brothers, go deep into the desert with the map, and try to lock the location of the oasis as soon as possible......"

The heart was kind and Yan happily accepted the order, and followed Wang Xian all day long, and they were also uncomfortable. The former smiled and said, "Senior brother, is it convenient to give us that nirvana?" I'm afraid that he drew the map wrong, and no one will ask when the time comes. ”

"As long as Senior Brother doesn't feel a drag, of course it's no problem." Wang Xian smiled and nodded.

"It's okay, I can't drag it down." Xinci said proudly.

Everyone couldn't help but be in awe, saying that a master is a master, and it is not too cumbersome to take a person in the desert......

Who knows, but he listened to the heart on the side and said quietly: "If you really run for your life, you will definitely slaughter him first." ”

Everyone was speechless, how could they forget that the master of this group of monks is called Yao Guangxiao......

Wang Xian sent Xin Yan and others to take the Nirvana Gan deep into the desert to investigate, while the army camped on the edge of the grassland to rest. After a month of continuous high-intensity expeditions, both men and horses have become tired, and they must rest and adjust. What's more, the army is short of food and grass and urgently needs to be replenished. It was necessary to stop and wait for the baggage troops to bring up the rations.

Since the Hongwu period, the Ming army has been constantly conquering the grasslands, and the long supply lines are the number one nightmare for the army. In order to solve the supply of grain and grass, Emperor Hongwu established a series of forts on the grassland, which served as a foothold for army patrols in peacetime and used to store grain and grass in wartime.

After the perfection of the Yongle Emperor, the Ming Dynasty established nearly 100 grain city military stations in a vast area of nearly 10,000 miles from Shanhaiguan in the east to Yumen Pass in the west, from the Great Wall in the south to the edge of the desert in the north. Before each Northern Expedition, the imperial court would transport grain and grass to the nearest grain city military station according to the expected march route, and in wartime, it would also temporarily adjust the location of grain and grass storage according to the changes in the march.

The advantage of this is obvious, the army does not need to carry all the people and baggage when it moves, as long as it brings enough grain and grass for ten days and half a month, and when it is almost consumed, it can be transported from the neighboring grain city. It can greatly reduce the burden of logistics and at the same time greatly increase the mobility of the army.

Wang Xian went out this time, naturally according to the prescription, and ordered the baggage troops in advance to transport the grain and grass to several grain cities, and then transfer them as needed. His 30,000 foot soldiers were used to guard the grain city and transport military rations.

At this time, the nearest military station from Wang Xian's camp is called Guning City, which is only more than 100 miles away from Wang Xian's army, if the weather is good, it only takes three days to transfer grain to Wang Xian's camp.

Although Guning City is known as a city, it is just a small fortress, and there are 5,000 soldiers, thousands of people, and countless mules, horses, and vehicles in the fort, which naturally looks crowded.

But fortunately, such a day is coming to an end, and on this day the guard is anxiously urging his men to carry the grain and grass to the wagon. The previous **** received Wang Xian's military order to urge grain, knowing that the army's grain and grass were in a hurry, he didn't dare to slack off, and was ready to escort the grain and grass north to supply the army today.

It was not until the third pole of the day that all the grain and grass were ready, and the guard general led 4,000 soldiers to escort 1,000 carts of grain and grass to set off, and the remaining 1,000 people were led by the deputy general to stay in Guning City.

Although there are not many 4,000 men and horses, according to the news from the front, the Tatars have been wiped out, and the remnants have also taken refuge in the desert. As for those scattered small tribes, it would be good if the Ming army didn't mess with them, where would they dare to seek their own way to death.

Although there was no danger on the grassland, the officers and soldiers who escorted the grain and grass were still very cautious in inspecting the chariots, horses and weapons, and the victory of the army was imminent, and no one wanted chaos at this time. Before leaving the city, the commander of the team leader instructed his subordinates to strictly follow the regulations, scouts first, and the army behind, marching fifty miles a day, stopping the advance before dark, surrounding the grain wagons into a car formation, and the army was on duty in shifts at night.

In this way, it will take two days to arrive at the camp and complete the last grain and grass escort of this battle.

In the early morning, the morning sun was rising, the gate of Guning City was open, and the escort team slowly drove out of the city gate.

Guning City, which had been busy all morning, finally stopped, and the guards at the head of the city watched the team escorting grain and grass disappear on the northern horizon, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of the people were ready to go back to sleep.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, pointing in the direction where the army had disappeared and screaming, "Look! There is a case! ”

Everyone at the head of the city raised their heads one after another, and looked in the direction that the man was pointing, only to see that at this time, a long line of black pressure appeared on the horizon in the northeast, and in the midst of the smoke and dust, it was actually a large group of Mongolian cavalry galloping towards Guning City......

The urgent alarm bell sounded at the head of Guning City! (To be continued.) )
