The camels sank into the sand pit again, and the backs of the camels on the edge of the row were completely crushed because the weight was all tilted on them.
Yun Ye's face was full of frustration. He stood in the middle of Camel City and looked at the busy soldiers and said to Du Ruhui: "There are always mistakes. This is very different from what I imagined."
Du Ruhui did not have the same sullen face as Yun Ye. He pointed at his gray hair and said to Yun Ye: "During the reign of the late Emperor, I was appointed Sima Langzhong of the Ministry of War. I have been in charge of military supply matters for twenty-one years. Regardless of my official position.
What kind of changes have happened? This burden has never been put down. The appearance of a person who is less than sixty years old has been tortured into the appearance of an old man. Ever since you entered the Ministry of War, I have wanted to put down the burden for a few years. What do you think about it?
Tuocheng is very dissatisfied. In my opinion, it is already good and cannot be better.
After a long journey of 1,600 miles, we have traveled more than half of the distance, and the camel city is still intact. The soldiers still do not feel any fatigue. They can fight as soon as they mount their horses. Marquis Yun, what do you want?"
Yun Ye pointed at the fallen Tuocheng and wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth helplessly.
"I know what you mean. It is indeed just a small setback. After running for thousands of miles continuously, the livestock became tired and caused the camel city to collapse. This is what it should be. Being able to persist for more than nine hundred miles is a big surprise to me.
unexpected.
You are a general in the army, why have you forgotten the shortcomings of a large army traveling thousands of miles? A city moved a full 900 miles in eighteen days. You are asking too much. If you follow the military regulations and you walk forty miles a day, like this
Regrets will not happen."
"I want to sympathize with the animals, but Guo Xiaoke's army is surrounded by others in Qiuci City. How can you let me calm down and walk slowly?" Yun Ye watched the camel city being re-erected, so he ordered the march, and the whole group
The army began to move slowly again.
Du Ruhui sighed and said: "The commander-in-chief of an army has an immeasurable influence on the style of an army. Guo Xiaoke is old-fashioned and upright. He never shirks blame and never flinches when encountering difficulties. Great changes have taken place in Qiuci. He believes that
They have an unshirkable responsibility and want to repel the Turks on their own and stick to the land they occupy. Who would have thought that the Turks would be so crazy this time and gathered all the personnel in the Western Regions to launch this counterattack. There is no way to retreat.
After retreating, the only option is to stand firm and wait for help.
The isolated city under heavy siege still has a messenger who breaks through and comes to us. Marquis Yun, the siege and reinforcements you mentioned earlier are very likely to become inevitable." Cheng Chumo has already gone to Qiuci with 10,000 elite cavalry. No need.
He made a move to attack the enemy. As long as he harassed the Turks on the periphery, it would be good to help Guo Xiaoke reduce a little pressure. "People have arrived on the battlefield, just like money has arrived in a casino. What else can be said at this time,
Marquis Yun, once the strategy is formulated, the outcome depends on God. Don’t think too much. Your camel city is very good, your soldiers are very brave, and your material reserves are very large. This is enough. Your Majesty faced the battle that year.
When Dou Jiande was in power, we didn't have such good conditions as you. The soldiers didn't even have an extra pair of shoes, so they didn't capture Dou Jiande alive."
After listening to Du Ruhui's words, Yun Ye looked at Du Ruhui with a green face and said discouragedly: "You are the real spectator who is not afraid of big troubles. Your Majesty told me about the past of his hundred cavalry charging into battle, and he still had a look of fear on his face. After drinking,
After drinking too much, he said that he was really forced to have no choice. In front of him was Wang Shichong's Luoyang Fort, and behind him was Dou Jiande's 300,000 troops. He really had to rush forward just for the slimmest chance of victory.
of.
If the charge fails, Your Majesty plans to run away immediately. You were in the army at the time. I think, with your wisdom, you would have packed your luggage on the horse at that time?" "Nonsense, I only prepared.
Two horses, who has time to pack at that time?" Du Ruhui said a rare joke, which finally made Yun Ye feel a little relaxed.
The March to Camel City is extremely spectacular, with the sounds of horsemen shouting at the camels everywhere, and a short horn sound coming from the hot air balloon. As long as everything is safe, the horn sound will sound in an hourglass.
The most difficult part was the cavalry cruising in front. Although the marching time was chosen in the early morning and evening, the rapidly changing climate in the desert still had a considerable impact on them.
The people in Camel City seemed relaxed and happy. The order soldiers jumped from one square to another quickly. Most of the sergeants were lying under the tarpaulin in Camel City to sleep. The sergeant in charge of the water had to press the button if he had nothing to do.
Click the handle in the bucket a few times to keep the water in the bucket flowing naturally. Once the lower bucket is full, the lower bucket will be raised, and then the higher empty bucket will be lowered, and the cycle will be repeated back and forth.
The effect is excellent, and there is no longer that rotten smell in the water.
Na Rimu dragged her big belly leisurely to enjoy the coolness under the tarpaulin. Huan Niang rushed all the way from Guanzhong to Beiting just to take care of Na Rimu. Pregnant women are most intolerant of heat. There were two large basins of ice beside her.
Yun Ye didn't allow her to eat cold food, so she could only drink sour soup to relieve the heat!" You just refused to come back to Guanzhong with me. Now that it's okay, the Marquis will take you, a big man.
"My mother-in-law is going to fight. Who can take care of you when the war is fierce and dangerous?" Huan Niang complained softly that day. "Don't worry about others. I have given birth to children, and I can handle them myself. When I was on the grassland before,
"There are so many women who give birth to their children on the sheepherding road. Boys must be more aggressive, so that the children born will be strong." "Be careful, my wife will strangle you when you get home, in case something happens to one of the older or younger ones."
You have no chance of survival."
That day, Higurashi touched his belly happily and said: "That will happen in the future. My husband is very capable and can always defeat his enemies. When I carry the child into the house, I don't believe she can do it. At most, I can hit her with a feather duster a few times.
It's not that big of a deal. It's not like I haven't been whipped before. If she has the ability, she will try to whip me ten years later. Even if my husband doesn't care, my child won't agree. Yun Mu is just a white-eyed wolf. He raised her so big in vain.
He always talks to my wife and makes me angry. I need to teach him a lesson when I get home."
The place where they stayed was a square specially opened for housewives. Hundreds of women and children lived here. There were wooden boards on the wooden grid, and seven or eight boys and girls were playing tricks on the floor.
That day, Higurashi was pregnant and loved seeing children the most. She added ice to her sour plum soup and gave it to the children, which received countless compliments. Just when the sun was about to set, Tuocheng was about to stop and set up camp, and the hot air balloon
Suddenly there was a long horn sound, and the one-armed Liu Zhengwu shouted "Establish the city!" The camel city that was originally lined up in a long snake formation was surrounded by a square city in the time of a stick of incense.
Thick pieces of wood fell from the grid. Following the groom's shout, the camels that had left the camel city immediately knelt down on the ground, stretched out their necks and bit into the fodder placed above their heads. Some of them even opened their mouths.
Take over the water flowing out of the bamboo pipe.
The horn on the hot air balloon sounded again, with only a short whistle, indicating that the enemy had arrived within five miles.
"Place the armor, set up the shield, prepare the eight-oxen crossbow, prepare the kerosene, and prepare the gunpowder crossbow!" Liu Zhengwu's voice was spread far away by a huge loudspeaker. As for that day and the women chatting under the pergola,
The people immediately got into the wooden house. The place where they stayed was the safest central area in the entire Camel City.
Such warnings have occurred no less than ten times. It is not unusual. Everyone is very calm. Those who really hope that the enemy will pounce on them are Yun Ye, Du Ruhui, Liu Zhengwu, Fan Hongyi, and Tian Yuanyi. Some people think
They want to test Tuocheng's combat prowess, and some people just want to make achievements.
There was a long sound from the hot air balloon, which meant that the enemy was approaching. The thick bowstring of the Eight Ox Crossbow had been loaded, the crossbow gun with the grease wiped off had been placed, and the cavalry in the camel city had already stood on their own.
Beside the mount, he is always ready to fight out of the city.
Yun Ye had also put on his battle armor. He stood on the coaching platform and looked at the approaching enemy troops with a telescope. He could even see the ferocious faces of the Turks.
There were not many enemies coming. Just by looking at the dust raised by the cavalry and horses, he knew that there were no more than three thousand people. They were here to die. So he turned his telescope to the hill on the right. Sure enough, there was someone standing on the hill.
Many people, probably important figures among the Turks, came here specially to see this camel city.
How can it be so cheap? Yun Ye pointed to the mountain bag. Fan Hong immediately led a group of cavalry to pass the Turks who were dying and outflanked the mountain bag from a distance. The news from the hot air balloon proved that there was no large group of Turks there.
, if these people can be captured, they will be very useful to the army.
The Turkic cavalry did not rush forward recklessly. Instead, they galloped around the camel city with their war horses out of the range of the eight-oxen crossbow. Yun Ye did not order an attack. The entire castle remained eerily quiet. The Turks looked at it this way.
You can't tell the tricks, but these people's riding skills are very superb. They can even loosen the reins and shoot arrows from a distance. Unfortunately, the distance is too far. The arrows flew less than half the distance before falling.
On the ground, the Tang army burst into laughter.
Suddenly the sound of horns sounded from the Turks' rear formation, and Yun Ye saw those Turks suddenly hiding their bodies under the bellies of their horses and rushing toward the camel city desperately.
This way of dying has been done twice, but this time it seems to be different. The horn horns have not stopped, and there are even wizards dancing on the hills. It is very strange. Could it be said that if the wizards dance, these Turkic people will become different?
Be more powerful?
This time it is finally not a death team put together by various races. Just look at the golden wolf flag in the team. All the soldiers who are used to fighting know one thing. The golden wolf flag is full of dead soldiers. They would rather fight with twice as many enemies.
In battle, I don't want to encounter the Golden Wolf Flag.
