The first thousand three hundred and eighty-four chapters smell it
Chapter 1384 I smell it
Delhui saw that Vespit looked pale and wondered what was wrong with him.
"I'm fine. I always have a bad feeling. Send someone to the surrounding cities immediately to see if there is anything wrong."
Vespit shook his head at Delhui, indicating that he was fine.
"To the surrounding cities?
Your Majesty, what's wrong?
Did you get any news?"
Hearing Vespit's words, Delhui was stunned again. He didn't know why he suddenly sent people to the surrounding cities to investigate the news.
"There is no news, just a sudden inspiration. If the enemy sends a cavalry to reach Daxia Fuxing without anyone noticing, we don't know, and we will be very passive at that time."
Vespit was also speechless. He just had an ominous premonition that something might go wrong, but it wasn't that he really got the news.
"Okay, I will immediately arrange for people to go around to find out the news."
Hearing Vespit's explanation, Delhui felt helpless, but after all, the other party was the governor of Bactria, so even if he was rude, he could only obey.
"Go ahead."
After Delhui left, he immediately arranged for people to leave Bakrat City and rush in all directions.
"Yuan Hao, do you think Zilong's plan can succeed?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Tian Feng and saw that Zhao Yun's strategy had been reported to them.
"What Zilong thinks is exactly what I think. In this way, we can not only encircle the point for reinforcements, but also control the enemy's center in Daxia."
Tian Feng nodded. Zhao Yun's thoughts were also his. The siege of Bakrat was exactly what he wanted to do. He wanted to see if the soldiers on the Amu Darya defense line could sit still.
"Then should we make some moves now to show our strength to the Amu Darya defense line?"
Yuan Shu glanced at the river in front of him, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"It's better to stay put now and don't disrupt Zilong's deployment."
Tian Feng shook his head. Now is the time for the two sides to compete to see who can't calm down first.
"Okay, tell the army to continue building ships and be ready to cross the river at any time."
Now that Tian Feng said this, Yuan Shu also nodded. If he didn't want to risk huge casualties and break through the Amu Darya River now, he could only wait for the opponent to defeat himself without attacking.
"promise."
Yuan Shu's orders were sent to the army, and the ship building was still going on. In so many days, the surrounding trees had been cut down by them, and there were more and more boats in the water village.
Due to the power of the Chinese army's trebuchet crossbows, the Kushan Empire's navy on the Amu Darya River did not dare to get too close. They were afraid of the opponent's long-range weapons and could only patrol outside to observe the actions of the Chinese.
Zhao Yun's army galloped all the way and arrived near Bakrat City in three days, and all the scouts sent by Vespit were captured by Zhao Yun's scouts.
"Sir, the scouts from all directions have returned. Only the scouts in the west have no news yet. Is there something wrong there?"
The captain in charge of the scout came to Delhui and told him the current situation.
"Harbo City?"
After hearing what the captain said, Delhui came directly to Kanyu and looked at the location of Harbo City.
"Come here, prepare the car immediately. I want to see His Majesty the Prince."
After taking a look at the location, Delhui couldn't help but frown, and immediately asked someone to prepare a car to go see Vespit.
Soon Delhui's car stopped outside the prince's palace and he ran straight into the palace.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Del Hui's anxious look, Vespit couldn't help but frowned.
"Prince, there may be a problem in Bohar City."
Delhui saluted Vespit and directly stated his guess.
"Why do you say that?"
At this time, Vespit was also stunned and didn't understand why Delhui said this.
"The scouts sent elsewhere have all turned back. Only the city of Harpo has no news. If it is according to what you said, I suspect that the enemy may have followed Khwarezm to detour from the source of the Amu Darya River, and then followed
The border line has been secretly moving all the way south, and now it may have reached Bakrat."
Delhui has now guessed Zhao Yun's possible route. If this is the case, then Harbo may have been held by the enemy by now, and may have reached Bakrat City by now.
Seeing that Vespit suddenly turned pale, Delhui was frightened and immediately moved forward to support him.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
Vespit waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"Do you need to call a doctor?"
Although Vespit said it was okay, Delhui was still a little worried about him.
"I said it's okay."
Vespit sat on the chair and after resting for a while, he finally regained his breath.
"What should we do now?"
Delhui glanced at Vespit who was sitting on the chair. Since he said it was fine, he had nothing to worry about.
"Immediately organize a new wave of scouts to go and investigate the news. They must know the news about Harpo City. At the same time, the entire city of Bakrat City is ordered to be under martial law and the people are strong enough to enlist in the army."
Vespit took a deep breath and expressed his thoughts.
"I'm going to execute it right away. Do you want to send people to the Amu Darya defense line and transfer people back to the defense?"
After hearing what Vespit said, Delhui frowned. Now he was just detecting the enemy's movements. If the enemy really killed him outside Bakrat City as he said, he would not collapse.
"The side of the Amu Darya River cannot be moved for the time being. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops on the opposite side. If we weaken the defense force there now, once the enemy is ready to cross the Amu Darya River, not only the province of Daxia, but also the entire Guizhou Province will be affected.
Even frost can be dangerous."
Vespit shook his head. He also knew that he might be in danger, but if the soldiers on the Amu Darya defense line were transferred back, they would not be able to resist the Chinese army's attack based on the natural moat. Once they were allowed to cross the river, there would be hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers and horses.
, not only could he not be able to resist it, but the entire Kushan Empire might be in danger.
"What if the other party really comes to kill me?"
Del Hui glanced at Vespit, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"The defenses of Bakrat are strong, and there are soldiers and horses in the city. Even if it faces an attack of 100,000 enemies, it can withstand it. When will His Majesty the Emperor's reinforcements arrive?"
Vespit shook his head. He was not only the governor of Daxia Province, but also the prince of the Kushan Empire. He couldn't just look at what he saw. If the Kushan Empire was punished because of the affairs of Daxia Province, he would be dead.
It is difficult to face the ancestors.
"I have already sent people, but I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor will send troops or when."
Delhui glanced at Vespit. His people had been sent there, but he didn't know if they would send troops or when.
"I am sending someone over to tell His Majesty the Emperor the situation here. If we don't send troops, I will have no choice but to be loyal to the empire."
Vespit had nothing to say now. If Vesudeva I did not send troops, he would have no choice but to be loyal to the empire.
"I'll arrange for someone to come over right away."
Del Hui nodded, immediately saluted, then turned and left.
Soon, Vespit's order was directly transmitted to the city of Bakrat, and the entire city immediately woke up from the calm. The city gates on all sides were closed tightly, and soldiers rushed to the city. At the same time, the strongest men in the city also joined the army one after another, preparing for battle.
After hundreds of cavalry left the city, they were divided into two, with one half heading towards Harbo City, and the other half heading south directly towards the capital of the Kushan Empire.
Soon, the scouts who came out of Vespit City were immediately surrounded by Zhao Yun's cavalry. They were all packed with dumplings, and none of them ran out.
"General, the enemy has sent out another scout."
Huang Zhong came to Zhao Yun's side and told him the news that he had just captured the enemy scout.
"Look, they have guessed our movements. There is no need to hide it. The whole army is dispatched to surround Bakrat."
Now that the enemy has guessed his situation, there is nothing to hesitate and he can just attack directly.
"promise."
Upon hearing Zhao Yun's order, Huang Zhong nodded directly, then turned around to convey Zhao Yun's order.
Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen rushed out of their hiding places and surged toward Bakrat City like a stormy sea.
The sky was full of smoke and dust reaching straight into the sky, which could be seen even from a distance of more than ten miles, and the soldiers of Bakrat City also discovered the situation over there.
"Discover the enemy, discover the enemy, beat the drum, be on guard, and report to His Majesty the Prince."
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong."
The war drums on the top of the city exploded instantly, and all the soldiers looked forward, their eyes full of fighting spirit.
"Prince, we found the enemy's troops."
The people who came down from the city wall went directly to the Prince's Palace and reported to Vespit the situation they had just learned.
"Follow me to the city wall immediately."
After hearing the news, Vespit couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. What was supposed to come would eventually come. Now that the enemy had arrived, he was relieved.
"yes."
Soon Vespit left the Prince's Palace under the escort of his personal guards and climbed directly to the city wall of Bakrat.
Vespit climbed up the city wall, and Delhui followed closely behind.
"Prince, what's going on?"
Delhui came over and saluted Vespit directly.
"See for yourself."
Vespit pointed to the west and saw clouds of smoke and smoke rising into the sky. It looked like a large group of cavalry were running wildly.
"What is supposed to come will eventually come."
Seeing this, Del Huiye's heart instantly sank. After all, this step is coming.
"Well, order the whole army to prepare for battle."
