Night falls, and the moon is in the sky.

The cool wind swept across the barren land, the Turkic battalion was hunting with flags, and the bonfires were also frightened to run around, but they couldn't get rid of it, and they were unwilling to bow down, but they were frightened to run high again, and the sparks exploded, crackling, and flying all over the sky.

Countless people were silent around the campfire, wiping their weapons, and a depressing aura permeated the entire camp.

came from afar, but he was still a step late, lost a broken leaf, and worked hard and desperately, but the opponent also played with his life and failed to enter the city, and he was very unwilling.

It's a pity that after a long journey, the physical exertion is too great, and the team can't move, not to mention that there is no ladder to climb, so it is impossible to attack the city, so it can only suspend the attack.

The soldiers were aggrieved and angry, Mo Heshe was even more angry, the broken leaves were the base camp, and it was the foundation of the five crossbows, once they were lost, there was no food, gold and silver, what to take to raise the soldiers?

In the military tent, Mo Heshe gradually calmed down after venting a roar, there are three ways in front of him, the first is to surrender to sincerity and regain allegiance to the Hanzhou army, which is nothing, the Turks have not talked about benevolence and righteousness since ancient times, and they are used to relying on the strong, and they will replace them when they are strong, but the Hanzhou army may not be willing to accept it.

Moreover, even if it is accepted, the Hanzhou Army is not a dispute between Turkic tribes, there are too many rules, at least there is a high probability that the leader will be beheaded, in the words of the Tang Kingdom, it is to kill chickens and monkeys, and the most unfortunate is empty, without soldiers in hand, he is nothing.

The second way is to take the city at all costs, and as soon as possible, otherwise when the grain and grass are exhausted, a dead end, the casualties are unpredictable, the five crossbows are likely to be wiped out, and the possibility is very high, a battle during the day, the opponent's willpower and combat effectiveness have been taught, it is not simple.

Then there is only one last way left, leave quickly with people, go all the way to the west, continue to annex the tribes along the way, and then come to revenge after strengthening the strength, this kind of thing has not been done before, and it has long been skilled.

But if you are unwilling to go like this, the soldiers may not agree.

The more Mo Heshe thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he walked out of the military tent.

A cool breeze blew, and I couldn't help but feel excited, and my mind was a little clearer.

Outside, the generals have been waiting, and when they saw Mo He come out, they exchanged glances with each other, and they all gathered around, and one of them whispered: "My lord, the soldiers have recovered some physical strength after resting, let's fight, attack overnight, take the city, I am afraid that something will happen if it is too late." ”

"That's right, let's fight, our grain and grass won't last long." Another general agreed.

The others nodded their heads in a resolute manner.

Mo Heshe looked at the excited generals, and suddenly realized that if he didn't fight, his family was in the city, even if he wanted to run, he had to fight, otherwise it would be difficult to convince the public, and he looked at one person and ordered: "You have to fight, but you can't do it brutally, your department will cut down trees overnight to make ladders and hit trees, and the other departments will prepare more feather arrows, and then talk about it at dawn." ”

"Obey!" Everyone responded solemnly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Compared with Mo Heshe's grievances and anger, Xue Wanche was high-spirited and in good spirits, and after settling the troops, he hurried to a bureau, which was the place where the five crossbows lost their affairs.

There was a man tied up in the hall, a mess of rags stuffed in his mouth, his body covered in blood, his hair scattered, and he was in a mess.

"General!" The soldiers clasped their fists in salute.

Xue Wanche returned the salute, stared at the tied person and asked, "Identity confirmation?" ”

"General Hui, the identity has been confirmed, this person's name is Shili, he is the younger brother of Ashina Zan, who led the army to follow the Turkic prince to attack my Hanzhou, and wiped out several small tribes along the way that did not obey the order, but in fact, he took the opportunity to annex and strengthen his strength, this kind of thing is often done by the Turks, and the people of the Tang Dynasty were captured from those tribes, this guy is the henchman of the Turkic prince, and he was ordered to escort the spoils of war to go back first and escape a catastrophe."

"I see, the Turkic army that attacked my Hanzhou at the beginning was completely wiped out, and the French Open was restored without leakage, and it was pushed out and killed." Xue Wanche said coldly.

The other party was babbling something and was emotional.

Xue Wanche rarely talked nonsense, waved his hand and signaled to leave, how could a murderer with the blood of the Tang people on his hands let go? He advised: "I am afraid that there are still remnants of the Turkic army in the city, all the armies are on guard, tonight it is a west wind, throw all the Turkic corpses in the city outside the eastern city, and burn them to avoid plague." ”

As soon as the wind blew, the city was not affected, but a large Turkic army was stationed in the east of the city, and as soon as the corpses were burned and the smoke was billowing out, the Turkic army would definitely not be able to stand it, so they could only retreat overnight or move to other directions.

Next, Xue Wanche arranged for three divisions to carry the corpses, one division continued to investigate from house to house, one was to maintain order in the city, one division helped with cooking, treating the wounded, collecting trophies and other logistical matters, and the remaining four divisions were divided into four directions to defend the city.

After some deployment, Xue Wanche was not worried about the enemy outside the city, so he hurried to the east gate with the guard regiment, and looked at it from a high distance, his eyes couldn't help but look at the undulating mountains in the east, and he didn't know if the King of Han would be able to arrive tomorrow?

If you can't get there, I'm afraid there will be a bloody battle tomorrow.

While pondering, the head of the guard came over in a hurry and said in a low voice: "General, the treasury has been preliminarily counted, there are 300,000 stone grains, countless forage, and there are also two large warehouses for weapons and armor, which are countless, and the feather arrows are mainly checked, no less than one million, and the others are still being counted." ”

"So much? That's great. Xue Wanche's eyes lit up suddenly, and the last worry dissipated.

The head of the guard nodded and said: "It's not wrong, it's just a lot, according to the captive, it was collected from the major tribes two days ago, and it was originally planned to be sent to Moon Bow City the day after tomorrow, which was blocked by us, and there are countless gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury, I didn't have time to count, the trade here is very good, there are merchants of all ethnic groups coming and going, if the merchants are raided, more." ”

"Merchants can't move, the reputation of King Han is greater than the sky." Xue Wanche warned.

"Continue to take stock, no mistakes or omissions, this matter can only be done by your guard regiment, don't fake others, if there is a problem, Lao Tzu will ask you, in addition, distribute the feather arrows, each archer has twenty dispensations, notify the departments to send someone to collect it, and do a good job of registration." Xue Wanche continued to warn.

"Obey!" The other party hurried away.

"General, someone wants to see you!" A man hurried up to ask for instructions.

Xue Wanche looked back and saw that the other party was followed by several ordinary people, some of them were older, but they were dressed in tatters, and they immediately reacted to what was going on, and greeted them and said, "Everyone, I have made you suffer." ”

"Don't dare to be, the old man kneels for everyone to thank the general for his life." A relatively older man said gratefully, knelt down with a puff, and kowtowed solemnly.

Others also knelt down.

Xue Wanche hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, and said comfortingly: "The King of Han once said that the captivity of the people is a great shame for our soldiers, blame us for being incompetent and failing to protect you. ”

"King Han?"

Everyone is a little confused, I haven't heard of it.

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "Maybe everyone has been in exile for a long time, and the news is blocked, I don't know who the King of Han is, but the father of the King of Han, Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, should have heard about it." ”

"It turned out to be after General Qin."

"General Qin is a good person."

"That's right, the old man was still a soldier of General Qin back then, but unfortunately he was disarmed and returned to the field later."

Several people became excited, it was really Qin Qiong who was too famous in that era.

After some greetings, one of them said solemnly: "General, I heard that there are a lot of Turkic dogs outside, although I am old, I can still use a knife, and I beg the general to allow me to wait on the city wall to kill the enemy." ”

"That's right, let's kill the enemy."

"How can you not avenge the revenge of destroying your family and being humiliated?"

"Let's get on!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and the blood of the Tang people was cold.
