It was a broken earthen city, not very small, but it may have been uninhabited for too long, the city wall had collapsed a lot, it looked particularly desolate, and there was an equally incomplete Daninglie red battle flag fluttering on the bare earthen earthen city, and it looked so sad under the sunset.

Shen Leng hid behind a withered yellow grass, raised his clairvoyance and looked carefully at the Tucheng, and on the city wall, he could vaguely see the Daning soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there were no enemy troops around, which made Shen Leng surprised.

He did not rush to Tucheng, but retreated, found a relatively high sand dune to climb up, and condescendingly looked into Tucheng, although he couldn't see the whole picture of Tucheng, but he could barely see the Ning army in the city, and the number didn't seem to be much, which made it even more weird.

Only a few dozen miles away from here is the camp of the Sabbatarians, from the size of the camp it is inferred that at least tens of thousands of people are stationed here, and there are no more than a few thousand Ning troops in this earthen city dozens of miles away, why do the Sabbatarians look at it like this?

Shen Leng looked at the battle uniform of the rest man on his body, thinking that he was like this, even if the Tucheng side was really Daning's army, he would not be able to enter it in the light.

Wait until it gets dark.

Shen Leng lay down on the sand dune, and his back hurt from the sand burning, but strangely, the wound felt a little comfortable.

After seven or eight days in the desert, Shen Leng already knew that it was special, and now the temperature was not low, but the temperature would drop soon after dark, and in the middle of the night, the temperature would be so low that people wondered if they were in the same world.

I took out a dry cake from my bosom and ate it with water, feeling a little satisfied in my stomach, but it was not rice at all, but something that could fill my stomach.

After dark, Shen Leng got up and touched towards the side of Tucheng, there may not be many people who know better than him about the deployment of the Daning army, he has carefully observed the terrain before dark, and Shen Leng can see at a glance where there will be a dark sentinel.

Quietly approaching a clump of withered grass, this clump of withered grass did not take root here, God knows where it was blown by the wind, but this clump of withered grass had not been touched for at least an hour, of course Shen Leng could see that there was a problem.

Quietly approaching from behind, it was inevitable that his feet would make a slight sound when he stepped on the sand, so as soon as he reached the back of the scout, the scout immediately rolled to the side, and in an instant the crossbow was raised towards Shen Leng, Shen Leng had already predicted his direction, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed the crossbow, the Daning scout obviously froze for a moment, and his hand was still in the air.

"Don't do it, Ningren."

Shen Leng sighed: "Look at my face clearly." ”

Shen Leng pulled the face towel down, and by the moonlight, the Daning scout looked at Shen Leng carefully and was still skeptical: "Are you really Ningren?" ”

"I'm Shen Leng, the general of the Navy Division."

"Impossible!"

After hearing this, the scout was about to draw his knife, how could Shen Leng, the general of the Naval Division, appear here?

"Trust me."

Shen Leng took off the iron plate and was still at the scout's feet: "Hurry up and look, I'm going to enter the city." ”

The scout picked up the iron plate and looked at it, still in disbelief: "Where did An Guogong join the army?" ”

"Anyang-Sailor."

Shen Leng squatted down: "I'm here to save you." ”

The scout took a closer look, he hadn't seen Shen Leng, but he knew that this face would not be wrong if it was Ningren's face, it was very different from the people of the Western Regions.

"Take me in."

Shen Leng lowered his voice and ordered, pointed to the repeater hanging on his body, and then turned to show the scout his black-threaded knife: "Do you know how heavy my knife is?" ”

"Legend has it that the black line knife of the great general Shen Leng weighs 100 catties."

"That's a myth, only more than forty pounds."

Shen Leng took off the black line knife and handed it to the scout, who reached out and took it, his hand sinking down.

"Is it really a general?"

"Take me into town first."

A moment later, in the earthen city.

A bonfire was lit in the open space in the middle, and a Wupin general knelt down on one knee in front of Shen Leng: "General, you are guilty of lowly duty, and you have not been able to bring out all the brothers from your humble position." ”

Shen Leng stretched out his hand to pull him up: "What's your name?" ”

"The humble position is Yao Yuan, the general of the fifth grade of the soldiers of Shanbei Province."

"Your generals are gone?"

"Yes...... The general took more than 30,000 Xinzi guards in Shanbei Province, and another guard marched to the Houque royal court, encountered tens of thousands of Houque troops on the way, and defeated them in a battle, General Mo took us all the way to chase and kill, but I didn't expect that it was a bait, we were ambushed by the rest of the people, the Xinzi guards were besieged, killed for four days and four nights, the army was killed and scattered, General Mo did not fight, I took my subordinates to kill this banner brother, and gathered hundreds of people along the way, retreated while fighting, and found that there was no way back after retreating. ”

Yao Yuan looked at Shen Leng, his eyes were red: "General Mo personally took the pro-military battalion to die in battle for us, some of Xin Ziwei's brothers broke through and were rescued by Geng Ziwei's brothers, and part of them converged with the Wuziwei soldiers who rushed over from another direction, but that battle Xinziwei ...... Even if it was lost, at least 26,700 people were lost. ”

Shen Leng patted Yao Yuan on the shoulder: "It's good that you're still alive, I'll find a way to take you out." ”

He looked out: "Less than forty miles away is the camp of the Sabbatarians, in addition to the Sabbatarians, there are at least four or five camps of the Western Regions that form a semicircle with the Sabbatarians, why haven't they attacked it?" ”

"They're waiting for our reinforcements to come."

Yao Yuan bit his chapped lip, and there was a hint of blood on the tip of his tongue.

"On purpose."

He glanced at Shen Leng: "They are waiting for me to send someone to ask for help, and then besiege the team that came to rescue us, we have been here for more than ten days, and the dry food we brought has been eaten the day before yesterday, and the brothers have not eaten for two days, fortunately, there is a dark river in Tucheng, digging up the sand can squeeze out some water, and everyone can still hold on to the water, and the rest of the people don't plan to kill us, they plan to surround us like this, if our reinforcements come, they will immediately encircle and fight, and they will not move until our reinforcements arrive, Sooner or later, it can starve us to death. ”

Shen Leng asked: "Have the people you sent to ask for help come back, when will the Gengzi Battalion and the Wuzi Battalion come?" ”

"I didn't send anyone for my humble position."

Yao Yuan lowered his head: "I know that I'm sorry for the brothers here now, I don't go to ask for help, even if it cuts off the brothers' way of life, but I can't ask for help, Gengziwei and Wuziwei are not having a good time, the number of troops is seriously reduced, the food and grass are insufficient, even if I come desperately, I will only bury more people's lives in the yellow sand, I have already told my brothers, I will not go to ask for help." ”

He shook his head: "I can't do this, we can die here, but we can't implicate more brothers to die here." ”

He looked not far away, there were a lot of sandbags there: "The injured brothers didn't survive, and the last few wounded died the day before yesterday." ”

Shen Leng felt a pain in his heart.

"General, how many troops did you bring to save us?"

Yao Yuan looked at Shen Leng, and there was a light of hope flickering in his eyes.

"Not much, the city side of La Liga is under siege, and there are not many troops under the general to call upon, so I only brought three thousand light horsemen."

"Three thousand?"

He froze.

"Three thousand?"

After a moment he asked again.

"Three thousand."

The kettle in Yao Yuan's hand unconsciously fell on the sand, making a killing sound.

He looked at Shen Leng, and the light in his eyes had disappeared.

"I thought the general would bring a large army and take us back to avenge our brothers...... General, it is impossible for three thousand light cavalry to defeat the enemy, I sent scouts to investigate around, the camp of the people of the Western Regions is surrounded by most of the circle, the main force of the people of the rest is here, at least 200,000 people, as well as the armies of the countries of the Western Regions that cooperate with the people of peace, are all quietly withdrawn from outside the city of La Liga to this side, if you count them, the total strength of the enemy in this area should not be less than 300,000, and the general only brought 3,000 light horses, and he can't fight......"

"I know."

Shen Leng squatted down: "See how to fight." ”

He took out the cowhide map he was carrying: "Draw all the places you have figured out." ”

Although Yao Yuan was already desperate, he immediately squatted down, he was not very good at drawing, he said that Shen Leng would draw, and he would change the inaccuracies, Shen Leng's words were extremely ugly, but Shen Leng drew the map quickly, accurately and finely, and it didn't take long for a large area to be added on the map.

After Yao Yuan's location of the camp of the Western Regions Alliance Army was marked, Shen Leng looked at the map for a while and did not speak.

"Do you know the location of the Gengzi Camp and the Xinzi Camp?"

"Probably yes."

Yao Yuan marked the location of the two guards on the map again: "There shouldn't be much deviation, but that was more than ten days ago, and now I'm not sure where it has been transferred, our Xin Ziwei is almost gone, and the Wuzi Wei side has at least reduced one-third, and the Gengzi Wei is better, but it has also lost at least three or four thousand troops, and they should also be trying to find a way to break through." ”

"Go back?"

Shen Leng saw too clearly when he came, all the ways of return were cut off by the rest and the people of the Western Regions, and the enemy was waiting for Daning's soldiers to jump in by themselves.

"You send someone to contact the generals of the Gengzi Battalion and the Wuzi Battalion."

Shen Leng flattened the cowhide: "Send some more people, separate two teams, one team of at least three ten-person teams, make sure that someone can deliver the news and tell them that they will meet in this place in ten days." ”

"Here?"

Yao Yuan was stunned: "This is not the way back." ”

"Do as I say, and the people sent to tell the generals of the two guards that from now on, all the Daning troops in the Houque Kingdom will be under my control, and if I can't reach this place within ten days, I will cut off people's heads."

He stood up: "I'm going back and trying to find a way to bring my team over, you guys are waiting here." ”

Shen Leng pulled up the face towel: "If I come, I won't let my brothers be buried in the yellow sand, I will take you to kill them back." ”

He looked up at the moon, made his way, and walked out of the earth city.

"Cheer up the brothers, we haven't lost yet!"
