……

In the middle of the night, the soldiers of the baggage squad were still tirelessly digging wells.

Under the pressure of many days, everyone was numb, and it was only with a will to support them that they did not fall.

Many large food soldiers also gathered around the mouth of the well, using torches to illuminate the baggage soldiers below, and at the same time, they also constantly pulled up the sand below.

The water has been cut off for many days, and now both the Han army and the big food soldiers are grasshoppers on a rope, which can be said to have the smell of dead lips and cold teeth.

Abbasid and Geng Gong stood not far from the wellhead, each with a "cloud of smoke", silently watching the busy crowd.

After a long time, Abbasid said to Geng Gong: "If we can survive this catastrophe, I am willing to reconcile with your country, and I am willing to compensate for the damage caused to your country by this crusade.

When this is done, I plan to personally lead a delegation to visit Han, and I hope that General Geng can mediate between them. ”

Geng Gong was just an ordinary general in the Han army, and he had no right to make a commitment to such a problem, and his rank was not enough.

And Abbasid also knew this, but he still took the initiative to show goodwill, because he understood that this crusade had completely failed, and the national strength of the Han Dynasty far exceeded his budget, and he could not meet the counterattack of the Han army at all.

Rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to show favor first, then draw a border with the Han Dynasty, and then appease the anger of the other party through commercial tax incentives.

As a monarch, Abbasid knew that the Han Dynasty also needed to expand its power into the land of Middle-earth, and he could accept it as long as it was not military expansion.

Moreover, Da Shi was able to recover its national strength by making enough profits from trading with the Han Dynasty.

But this has a premise, Geng Gong's attitude is very important, although his general level is not high, he can feel that his words also have a certain weight.

Geng Gong also understood that the Abbasids had indeed shown enough goodwill this time, and they were unwilling to continue to be enemies of the Han Dynasty.

But after all, this time it was the invasion of the Great Eclipse, and he had no right to make a private agreement with the Abbasids on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and he said: "This matter is very important, if the caliph really has the heart to make friends with the Han Dynasty, this general is happy to see it come to fruition.

But he still needs to inform us first, and if he has no opinion, General Ben will naturally have nothing to say. ”

Abbasid said: "Then please ask General Geng to welcome Bai Duhu, Bai Duhu's life, I have also heard a little." ”

The name of the white unicorn, the Abbasids naturally could not have known it.

Human slaughter, fierce god!

Although there is some distance between the Western Regions and the hinterland of the Great Food, the information related to the Western Regions has already spread to the Great Food through the foot merchants, which is not unusual.

Geng Gong said: "Yingjian is okay, but let's get through the current hurdle first, Your Excellency Caliph, you know that if you continue to hold on to this situation, you will only passively wait for death.

Why don't you give me the power of the army, and let me lead the army to defeat that group of enemies! ”

This time, Abbasid did not object, but simply asked: "General Geng, how sure are you of victory?" After all, Parthia were all cavalry. ”

Geng Gong said very confidently: "It's just cavalry, dare to ask Your Excellency, how does it compare with the firearms in our army?" ”

Abbasid nodded: "I have witnessed the sharpness of your firearms. ”

Geng Gong: "Then you should also know during this time that our gunpowder is about to run out, if we continue to defend to the death, how can we fight back against those cavalry crossbows?" ”

Abbasid nodded again: "Okay, in that case, I am willing to hand over the military power to you, when do you plan to launch a counterattack?" ”

Geng Gong: "In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, the counterattack will start at the latest in the third watch." ”

"Night raid?"

Abbasid looked at Geng Gong in some surprise.

"Take advantage of the night to raid and annihilate the Parthian army in one fell swoop!"

Geng Gong's eyes were blazing, and his answer was sonorous and powerful.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the wellhead.

Bursts of cheers erupted.

I saw that the wooden barrel pulled by a big food soldier was no longer mud and sand, but a turbid water source!

The next moment, a fountain gushed out, and clear sweet water baptized all the soldiers present.

The soldiers of the Great Food and the Han army immediately cheered around Ganquan, and many people even cried with joy.

Seeing this, the Abbasid did not come back to his senses for a long time, and prayed to heaven for a long time: "Perhaps this is the guidance of Musah." ”

Then he solemnly said to Geng Gong: "General Geng, I handed over the army to you, I believe that you will be able to lead us to victory!" ”

Geng Gong responded: "Okay, then call all the generals in the army together and arrange a reasonable tactic." ”

……

Early in the morning, inside the Parthian camp.

Awakened by a nightmare, Sulman grabbed the arc knife and looked around, only to find that he was still in the tent, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

These days, uneasy emotions have been hanging over his heart, for fear that the next moment, he will be in a different place.

The weather in December was unusually cold, and now it was the third watch, and the sky was still completely covered in ink, and the earth fell silent, only the intermittent snoring came and went.

Suddenly, a slight vibration made his brow furrow, and the strong sense of uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

Sulman clutched the arc knife tightly and poked towards the source of the sound in surprise.

"飕~"

Suddenly, a sharp arrow galloped towards his own life.

Sulman exclaimed, and immediately turned sideways to dodge, and was about to shout loudly when another sharp arrow hit him in the calf.

"Ah~"

Sulman let out a cry of pain and hurriedly dragged his injured leg towards the tent.

At this moment, fierce shouts of killing rang out around the camp.

Hidden in the darkness, the Han army and the Great Eaters were like life-seeking dogs from hell, slashing their shiny butcher knives at the Parthian soldiers who had not yet had time to react.

"Kill~"

Seeing that the military camp was in chaos, Geng Gong led a thousand Han troops to the main camp.

The Abbasid soldiers, who followed, rushed into any tent they could see, and cut down all the unclothed Parthian soldiers in pools of blood.

In the chaos, several large food soldiers pushed wind cannons to the front of the formation, aimed the guns at the enemy's camp tent, and directly ignited the medicine pool.

"Bang bang-"

With an extremely rhythmic chain of clapsticks echoing, a terrible scream immediately resounded in the barracks.

The battle was really hearty, and the Abbasids looked at the Parthian army that was scurrying around like headless flies, and he was in high spirits.

And Geng Gong went directly to the enemy's main camp to kill the generals, the so-called truth of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, it is impossible for him not to understand.

Bang~

A gunshot shot rang out, and a red-hot Mini projectile pierced the head of an enemy soldier.

Hu Qing, who was hiding in the shadows, acted as a sniper, extinguishing all the hidden dangers that threatened Geng Gong's advance.

Sosi and Tummegg were also awakened from their sleep, looking at the already chaotic camp, and the two immediately made a decision against their ancestors.

Run away!

The two had a tacit understanding, and without saying a word, they went straight to the stable, snatched two fast horses faster than Bolt, and one turned over and went straight to the camp gate.
