Hearing that Aheimahan of Turpan was about to lead his soldiers and horses to the city, everyone present was stunned.

Yuan Mo looked at ease and said in a deep voice,

"Revisit! Ordered Hu Hai and other leaders to come to the Shuai Department immediately! ”

The herald obeyed and went out.

Zhang Yue hurriedly asked, "Yuan Mo, what should the enemy do now?" ”

Gu Li also looked nervous, but Shaanba was quite calm, "Yuan Gongzi, although there are less than 100 people I brought, I am willing to do my best to help Yuan Gongzi resist the thieves in Turpan." ”

Yuan Mo glanced at Shaanba, did not agree, but did not refuse, turned to look at Zhang Yue, and said calmly,

"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, Ah Heima brought to Hami from Turpan with less than 100,000 troops, except for the men and horses left in the few cities that have been occupied, he can bring a maximum of 60,000 people here. Our army has been well rested these days, and there are plenty of war horses, so it may not be impossible to fight. ”

Zhang Yue was relieved when he heard this.

Hu Hai and other leaders under Yuan Mo quickly gathered their headquarters, and the spies sent kept reporting the movements of the Turpan army.

Yuan Mo quickly and decisively ordered the deployment of defending the city, "Mao Tu led the first squad to guard the west gate of the city, the city wall in the south of the city is the weakest, Zhou also led the second and fifth teams to focus on protecting the south of the city, and Wang Yong led the sixth squad to guard the north gate." The men and horses of the third, fourth, and seventh squads followed me to guard the main gate, that is, the east gate, and Hu Hai led the stormtroopers to be on standby, galloping to the aid of all walks of life at any time....."

Yuan Mo paused, and his sharp eyes swept towards Shaanba, "Shaanba, right?" ”

Shaanba bowed slightly, "Yuan Gongzi, please command!" ”

Yuan Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you know why Qu Ze City is called Qu Ze City?" ”

"Because there is a river flowing through here not far from the city, this river is named Quze, and people in a radius of hundreds of miles drink the water of Quze to live, so the city next to Quze is named Quze City."

"Good! You are familiar with the terrain here, and you lead my cavalry around the middle and upper reaches of Quze to cut off the water source. ”

Shaanba was stunned, "Yuan Gongzi is going to cut off the water source of the Turpan people!" ”

Yuan Mo's nose lightly "um", which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Now that it is the dry season, the flow of the Quze River is gentle, and the plan to cut off the water source is indeed feasible, but at the same time as cutting off the water source of the Turpan people, the water source of Quze City has also been cut off. What about the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city? ”

Yuan Mo glanced at him, "After the capture of Quze City, I have let people start to store a large amount of water, and now the stored water is enough for the entire city for a month. You say that there is also no water source, and the people of Turpan can hold out for a few days? ”

Zhang Yue rushed to the side and said, "Hami is dry and hot!" Without water, the thieves in Turpan will hold out for three days at most!"

Shaanba's eyes flashed, "Yuan Gongzi is really far-sighted, Shaanba admires!" ”

Yuan Mo waved his hand, "Ah Hei Ma Khan is a man who is stubborn and self-serving!" If the water source is cut off, he will never retreat, but will accelerate the siege! After you cut off the water source, you will wait for the opportunity to lurk, and when the Turpan army is unstable, you will raid them from the side, and when you raid, it will be the opportunity for our main force to go out of the city and destroy the enemy! ”

Shaanba respectfully gave a military salute to Yuan Mo, "Don't worry, Yuanzi, Shaanba will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Gu Li also stood up and saluted Yuan Mo, "Gu Li thanks Yuan Gongzi for hundreds of thousands of Hami people!" ”

Yuan Mo snorted lightly and didn't say anything. Turning his head to look at Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue just gave him a thumbs up and smiled at him with admiration. Yuan Mo's heart was sweet, and his face was silent.

Everyone acted according to Yuan Mo's deployment.

Shaanba put on the armor, and Gu Li gave him a command. For fear that your sweetheart will be hurt. Shaanba has always kept the courtesy of his courtiers and kept his distance. Zhang Yue sighed in his heart as he watched from the sidelines, when will the lovers achieve positive results.

An hour later, the Turpan army assembled outside the city began to launch a fierce attack on Quze City. The four city gates were guarded in an orderly manner according to Yuan Mo's deployment.

The Turpan people continued to attack the city until dusk, and there was no progress, so they had to sound the gong and withdraw their troops.

The Turpan people did not take advantage of the attack for two days in a row, and on the third day, they stopped the siege and sent someone to send a letter of persuasion to surrender.

came to make Xiang Yuanmo, Zhang Yue and others promise to be high-ranking officials and lure everyone down. Zhang Yue wanted to scold the envoy, but Yuan Mo received the envoy warmly, and seemed to be very interested in talking to the envoy about the conditions.

Zhang Yue was about to have a seizure, but found that Yuan Mo secretly gave her a look, and suddenly understood that Yuan Mo was trying to delay the army and give Shaanba enough time to cut off the water source.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue also pretended to talk about the conditions.

In this way, the envoy of Turpan brought Yuan Mo's request back to the tent of Turpan, and after Ahei Ma Khan agreed to part of it, the envoy went to Yuan Mo to continue the negotiations, and so on and on, it took five days.

Five days later, there seemed to be some movement in the military camp in Turpan, and a day later, Aheimahan personally commanded the whole army to carry out a fierce siege.

Yuan Mo still held out, the Turpan army attacked the city until the afternoon, and the morale had declined a lot, and suddenly there was a commotion in the camp of Turpan, and a group of mighty cavalry rushed to the camp of Turpan from the flank.

Yuan Mo watched from the city, and Zhang Yue shouted beside him, "Yuan Mo, it was Shaanba who was killed." Let's go out of the city and destroy the enemy, shall we? ”

Gu Li beside her was even more nervous looking for Shaanba's figure, "Yuan Gongzi, let's go out of the city to help Shaanba, right?" ”

Yuan Mo said calmly, "Wait a little longer!" ”

Half an hour later, Yuan Mo pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted, "All the soldiers follow me out of the city to destroy the enemy!" So saying, he plunged down the city.

Zhang Yue also wore chain mail today, holding a sword in his hand, and he was going to fight. Suddenly, a figure beside her blocked her way, and she fixed her eyes and saw that it was Hu Hai!

"Brother Hu, what are you?"

"Zhang Gongzi, the master has an order, not to let you go out of the city to fight, and let his subordinates be responsible for protecting your safety!"

"I ......" Zhang Yue slandered Yuan Mo in his heart, this guy is really cunning,

Gu Li also persuaded, "Zhang Yue, what Yuan Gongzi said is also right, the sword and gun have no eyes, so don't take risks." ”

Zhang Yue knew very well that his three-legged cat kung fu was really on the battlefield, and eighty percent would drag others down, so he had to obediently stay on the city tower with Gu Li, looking at the bloody battlefield below.

Yuan Mo was wearing black bright light armor, leading a kind of soldiers, fighting bravely.

The battle lasted from dawn to dusk, and Ahi Ma Khan withdrew with the remnants of the army!

Within a month, there had been two bloody massacres outside Quze City, and the smell of blood was everywhere in the air.

When it was dark, Yuan Mo took the soldiers back to the city, Zhang Yue and Gu Li greeted them, and they saw Shaanba dismounting from a distance and walking over, and his left shoulder was stained with blood.

"Shaanba?!" Gu Li exclaimed in surprise and rushed over first. "Shaanba, you're hurt! Where? Where did it hurt? ”

Gu Li nervously grabbed Shaanba's arm and asked regretfully.

Shaanba's face was a little pale, and he showed a hint of a smile, "County Lord, Shaanba is fine, we have won!" More than half of the Turpan battle was lost. It's one step closer to recovering Hami. ”

Gu Li's tears welled up, "Where the hell are you hurt?" ”

Yuan Mo walked over, "He was hit by a stray arrow in his left shoulder, but it was just a bruise, not a critical injury. ”
