Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 682 Excitement

As night fell, masses of fire lit up in Liang Jun's camp.

The disheveled Murong Chui was roasting a piece of horse meat. Before it was fully cooked, he cut off a large piece and threw it to Yang Qiu.

Yang Qiu ate happily.

Murong Chui cut another piece of cooked horse meat and handed it to Gao Bi.

"The time is almost here." Gao Bi took the horse meat and chewed it slowly.

Although most of the horses and camels were killed deliberately to show the barbarians, the army was indeed short of water.

The conditions in the Western Region are harsh, with wind and sand everywhere, but the food is okay. There are a large number of war horses and camels in the camp that can be used as food, but the problem is the lack of water.

The water in the spring had been blocked by the barbarians two days ago. It relied on the blood of camels and horses, wet sand and human urine to survive.

"The time has come, but the person didn't come." Murong Chui stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth, as if waiting for something.

Water is not a problem. There is a river outside the camp. As long as we repel the barbarians, we have everything.

"Human?" Gao Bi was a little unsure of what he was thinking.

"Qiuci is a beautiful place." Murong Chui did not answer, but ate horse meat and looked at the map of the Western Regions by the light of the fire.

Qiuci is located in the Western Region, with the Tianshan Mountains to the north and the largest oasis south of the Tianshan Mountains. The land is fertile and rich in crops such as rice, millet, bean sprouts, and wheat. It is also rich in copper, iron, lead, leather, and sand. , salt green and other minerals, as well as orpiment, benzoin, benzoin, good horses, seal cattle and other products.

"This rebellion all started in Qiuci." Gao Bi was a little distracted.

Every rebellion in the Western Regions mostly started from Qiuci and was capricious. During the Han Dynasty, Han envoys were attacked and killed many times.

"If Daliang manages this place, then the entire Western Region will be within his grasp." Murong Chui's eyes reflected the light of the bonfire.

"What the governor said is true. The countries in the Western Regions are vulnerable to attack. It is difficult for the soldiers to travel thousands of miles. This place can support 20,000 soldiers." Gao Bi's inference was good. The standing army of Qiuci Kingdom happened to be 20,000 people.

There are 20,000 elite Liang troops stationed in Kucha, and everything south of the Tianshan Mountains is under control.

The Western Region is full of yellow sand, and the cost of governance is too high. In fact, most countries have no actual control value.

"Commander, the enemy's morale is low, we request to go out to fight!" Zhang Hao, Liu Laozhi, Lu Guang, Zhuge Kan and others came together.

In today's battle, it can be seen that the Hu people's thoughts are not on the war at all.

At that time, Zhang Hao was about to take advantage of the situation to pursue him, but was forcibly pulled back by Murong Chui's three military orders.

"I issued a strict order yesterday. Anyone who thinks of sending troops will be killed. How dare you violate my laws?" Murong Chui said in a low voice.

Liu Laozhi, Lu Guang, Zhuge Kan and others were all afraid. The official level would crush people to death. Murong Chui still held the power of envoys and officials. No matter how rebellious they were, they would not dare to make mistakes.

If you practice true military law, your death will be in vain.

However, others did not dare to make mistakes, but Zhang Hao did not take it seriously. He took a step forward and stiffened his neck and said: "Your Majesty sent us troops not to eat and drink. If the governor is not brave, he can sit quietly in the camp. Five thousand knights attack!"

"Presumptuous!" Murong Chui suddenly stood up and stared at Zhang Hao coldly with murderous intent.

In the battle of Gaochang a month ago, Murong Chui had the blood of tens of thousands of barbarians on his hands, and his body was filled with evil spirits.

However, Zhang Hao rolled his eyes and didn't pay attention at all. Just when he was about to have a seizure, he was stopped by Liu Laozhi and Zhuge Kan.

Gao Bi also grabbed Murong Chui.

The two stared at each other like two angry tigers, refusing to give in to each other.

Although Murong Chui had the power to envoy Chijie, Zhang Hao was a popular figure in front of the emperor. If he really beheaded him, the emperor would not look good.

Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Hao has great achievements, is brave and fearless, and is a good hand on the battlefield.

Heroes always cherish each other.

"Do you really have the guts to go out and fight?" Murong Chui stared at Zhang Hao, the murderous anger on his face not fading at all.

Zhang Hao sneered, "Huh, give me five thousand people, and I will take the heads of King Qiuci and King Zhuohu!" Murong Chui also sneered, "If you don't have five thousand people, I will give you two thousand fine cavalry, so you dare to go to war." ?”

"Captain..." Gao Bi saw that he was deliberately irritating Zhang Hao.

But two thousand cavalry charging into hundreds of thousands of enemy troops is really shocking.

Not to mention, people like Zhang Hao just fall for this trick. He immediately grinned, showing a set of ferocious yellow teeth, "Why don't you dare? Two thousand elite cavalry, if we are defeated, I will raise my head to see you!"

Everyone on the side was stunned, and no one knew who cursed softly: "Madman..."

But no one present cared.

"Hahaha, okay, Zhang Hao listens to the order, and you and two thousand elites will attack from the west camp at dawn and attack the Hu army directly!" Murong Chui also had a look of madness in his eyes.

"Take your orders!" Zhang Hao shook off Liu Laozhi and Zhuge Kan and bowed his hands.

"Liu Laozhi obeys the order!" Murong Chui's eyes fell on Liu Laozhi again.

"The general is here!"

"You led two thousand elite troops out of the northern camp at dawn. When you saw the enemy's army in chaos, you cut in from the north!"

"Leader!"

"Lv Guang obeys the order!" Murong Chui didn't let anyone go.

This month of deep ditches and high fortresses is not only to wear down the enemy's energy, but also to break down the generals and feel how many pounds these people have.

In fact, among the few people, Murong Chui valued Lu Guang the most.

Zhang Haoyong is brave, but his character is also fierce. He refuses to retreat and dares to charge into hundreds of thousands of enemy troops single-handedly. He doesn't care about his own life or the lives of others...

Liu Laozhi has many thoughts and is difficult to control.

Only Lu Guang has a general knowledge, is both civil and military, calm and determined, and the key is to keep a low profile.

"The general is here." Lu Guang stood up and held his hands.

"You unite the Wanxuanjia Army, come out from the south, and act according to the situation." He has specific tasks for others, but there are no restrictions on Lu Guang.

Everyone cast envious glances.

"Take the order!" Lu Guang handed over his hand in a neither humble nor overbearing manner.

"Other armies, prepare for battle at dawn tomorrow, attack at midnight, destroy all the barbarians in one battle, and conquer the Western Region!" Murong Chui put away the map, with great pride in his chest. Wang Meng had the power to pacify Yongliang. If he could win the Western Region, The credit is definitely not inferior to that of Wang Meng.

Murong Chui has been secretly competing with Wang Meng for so many years, trying to surpass Wang Meng in terms of military exploits.

Now that they have endured for such a long time, the morale of the Hu people is low and their energy is no longer strong. It is a good time to fight back.

"Wei!" All the generals looked happy, they had been waiting for today.

In fact, they could have counterattacked half a month ago, but Murong Chui kept pressing, not only tormenting the Hu people outside the camp, but also the Liang Jun soldiers inside the camp.

The arrangements were made, Murong Chui waved his hand, "Everyone, get ready to go!"

Everyone dispersed.

Murong Chui fell down with the knife in his arms and fell asleep. Brothers Murong Ling and Murong Nong guarded him and never left.

The camp quickly became quiet, with only Diao Dou knocking from time to time, making the night darker.

As soon as a line of fish belly white appeared on the eastern horizon, someone had already woken up.

Two thousand war horses, their hooves wrapped in cloth, silently stepped on the morning dew, resolutely charging towards the enemy...
