"Your Majesty, now is not the time to complain! Your Majesty should decide what to do next as soon as possible! No delay!"
Just when the whole army was in a state of despair, Qi Shanxing's voice was like a bolt of lightning piercing the darkness, awakening Dou Jiande from his confusion!
yes!
Now it has happened!
No matter what kind of regret it is, it will not help. Thinking about what to do next is the most important thing now!
Thinking of this, Dou Jiande stood up straight and asked in a deep voice: "How much food and grass do we have now?"
Qi Shanxing pondered for a moment and then said: "Each person in this army is carrying three days of food rations with him. In addition, there is almost two days' worth of food in the baggage team!"
"That is to say, now we only have five days of food?!" Dou Jiande's brows almost wrinkled when he heard this number!
The situation now seems to be more serious than he imagined.
Five days! Only five days of food!
This means that excluding the rest time, they only have less than four days left at most!
If you cannot capture Hulao within these four days.
There were many dangers ahead, the Yellow River was surging behind, and food and grass were cut off. Dou Jiande knew what would happen without even thinking about it!
"Where is Wang Shichong's envoy?!" Dou Jiande clenched his fists and asked with a cold gaze across the crowd.
Wang Wan's forehead was covered with sweat. When Dou Jiande asked, he quickly came out and replied, "King Zheng didn't send an envoy!"
"What? Didn't you send an envoy?" Hearing Wang Wan's words, Dou Jiande's voice suddenly rose, and he stared at Wang Wan with a pair of blood-red eyes: "We traveled thousands of miles to save him, but he didn't even send an envoy.
What?!”
Wang Wan was so stared at by Dou Jiande that he broke into a cold sweat. He hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Prince Zheng... Prince Zheng may be trapped in the city by the Tang people, and he doesn't know that we have arrived!"
He is Wang Shichong's nephew, and he has always been responsible for dealing with Zheng Guo.
This time he came to rescue Wang Shichong, and he was even more of a staunch supporter.
However, Wang Wan really didn't expect that such a big thing would happen as soon as he set foot on this land! It's no wonder that Dou Jiande, who used to be kind and kind, would become like this.
"He doesn't know?!" Dou Jiande stared at Wang Wan closely and said word by word: "Okay! Then find someone to tell him and ask him to prepare all the food, grass and military pay for us!"
"Yes!" Wang Wan did not dare to look at Dou Jiande and just nodded in agreement.
"besides!"
Before Wang Wan could turn around, Dou Jiande continued: "Tell Wang Shichong that we are helping him this time! So let him put away his little thoughts. When we attack Hulao, he must attack from behind! Otherwise,
He just waits for us to retreat!"
Hate said these few words, Dou Jiande seemed to have returned to his former self. Military orders were issued one after another, and the huge Xia Army barracks began to move slowly!
"I don't believe it. Li Shimin, with only 100,000 men, can still withstand the attack of 300,000 troops from both front and rear! I will repay today's revenge a hundred times!" After taking a last look at the calm river, Dou Jiande led the army and began to move toward the tiger.
Heading towards the prison,
Hatred can only be washed away by blood. This time Dou Jiande really wanted to use Li Shimin's blood to wash away the hatred in his heart.
Hulao Pass.
Li Shimin and others have already been waiting on the city wall!
Although so far, things have been moving forward step by step as he envisioned, he still knows that this is far from the time to relax!
Dou Jiande's army marched to an open space five miles away from Hulao Pass and finally stopped.
It seemed that he had no intention of attacking the city as soon as he came up, which made Li Shimin happy but also a little disappointed.
There are still too many enemies!
The few thousand people who had just been lost were just a drop in the bucket for Xia Jun, who had a base of 200,000.
At least on the military formation, there is no visible impact at all.
"Hey, this guy surnamed Dou is so crazy! Did he suffer enough just now? He is resting in front of us like this. Are you not afraid that we will take the opportunity to rush over?" Cheng Yaojin put down the telescope in his hand and stared with a pair of bull's eyes.
He made a tut-tsk sound.
Xue Shou, who was on the side, smiled when he heard this and said to him: "This is not madness, but a trick to lure troops! Look carefully, the people in front are loose and look like no one, but those behind are waiting in formation. It seems that
, they are now eager for us to go out of the city to fight!"
"Bo Bao is right!"
Li Shimin also laughed, patted the telescope in his hand, and said with some pride: "Haha, the plan is good, but Dou Jiande probably wants to break his head, but he never thought that we have a treasure that can see so far! So, his appearance is considered
It’s all in vain!”
"Hey, it's true!"
When Xue Shou was talking, Cheng Yaojin had already raised his telescope again! When he followed the guidance and saw the rear troops who were ready to move, beads of sweat immediately appeared on his huge forehead.
Not to mention, he really wanted to attack the camp just now!
"Damn it, what kind of black bean is this? It's so insidious! Prepare the net and wait for us to crash into it?!"
Cheng Yaojin spat fiercely towards the city. His face turned purple, but soon, as if he had thought of something, he rolled his eyes and said with a sly smile:
"How about we use the trick and send someone to tease them?"
"Teasing? How?" Duan Zhixuan leaned his head and asked curiously.
Cheng Yaojin grinned at the boss: "Hahahaha, give me two hundred cavalry, I will make him mad!
Among Xia's troops.
Dou Jiande was also looking at Hulao Pass at this time.
It's just that he didn't have a military artifact like a telescope, so he could only see the dark city walls of Hulao Pass and a few huge flags on the top of the city.
"Why is there still no movement? Could it be that they dare not leave the city?"
The people in front had been making pretense for a long time, but the pass on the opposite side was still quiet. This discovery made Dou Jiande somewhat disappointed.
Before coming here, he had also studied Li Shimin and knew that he was a person who was very good at seizing opportunities. At the same time, he was also a person who loved taking risks!
Moreover, as soon as he arrived, he decisively sank the ship and cut off the food route, which just confirmed this!
I thought I could lure him out of the city by deliberately selling a loophole, but to my surprise, they still didn't fall for the trick.
"Forget it! Get ready to cut down trees and set up camp...Hey, wait!"
Just when Dou Jiande sighed and decided to set up camp in the usual way, suddenly, the gate of Hulaoguan on the opposite side opened, and a group of black-armored cavalry rushed out with a rumble!
"Brothers, come with me!" Cheng Yaojin, wearing heavy armor, roared and rushed out of the gate at the lead.
