The lively scene in the camp lasted until late at night, when the Tang army was transported from the commander Gaijia to the small soldiers below were all full of wine and food, and it was only over when they were drunk.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhao Ziliang was very sober and watched the others get drunk and dizzy, he got up and walked to Fumeng Lingcha's side and whispered: "General, we should go back and prepare for a sneak attack on Hengros City!" ”

Fumeng Lingcha woke up more than half of his wine when he heard this, turned his head and asked, "So urgent?" ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand and said: "General, the soldiers are very fast, once the news of the defeat and capture of the Fire Spitting Immortal reaches Hengros City, it will be difficult for us to sneak attack again!" Moreover, after today's daytime battle, the soldiers are exhausted, and now we can use not many cavalry, the last general will think like this, call the king of the country of Bahanna, Asiran, he still has four thousand elite horsemen in his hands, and there should still be combat power, tonight and the king of Asiran said yes, everyone rest for a night, leave quietly tomorrow morning, bypass Broken Leaf City, pass through the new city and then go north, and bypass all the towns that are encountered, and go straight to Hengros City from the edge of the desert in the north! ”

Fu Meng Lingcha thought about it, got up and stepped forward and said to Gai Jiayun: "Dashuai, the last general is full of wine and food, and he still has to prepare for the march to Hengros City, and he wants to leave first!" ”

Gai Jia used his finger to point at Fu Meng Lingcha, shook his head helplessly, and said: "You, this matter is not in a hurry at this moment, and it is not too late to prepare tomorrow, forget it, your temperament, Ben Shuai still knows, you go, and when you return victorious, Ben Shuai will discuss merit and reward together." Remember to come back again when you set off, Ben Shuai still has some things to explain to you! ”

"No, the last general will wait for his farewell!" Fumeng Lingcha took Zhao Ziliang, Gao Xianzhi and others to salute Gai Jia and withdrew from the big tent.

After leaving the tent of the Chinese army, Fumeng Lingcha asked, "How many cavalry do you have under each of you that you can use?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "General, the four hundred cavalry of my headquarters lost more than 100 people today, plus the subordinates of the last general, you can also make up 300, all of which are elite." Even after today's war, as long as they are allowed to rest for one night, they will still be alive tomorrow! ”

Gao Xianzhi said: "Most of the last general's subordinates are infantry, and the cavalry combat power is far inferior to General Zhao's subordinates, only a hundred people can be regarded as elite!" ”

There are only 400 people, and Fu Meng Lingcha calculated in his heart that there are still 1,000 elite cavalry available in Shule Town, and King Shule's men should be able to make up 600 elite cavalry, adding up to 2,000 elite cavalry, which is still too little.

Long. Fu Meng Lingcha said: "Counting your 400 people, there are only 2,000 people who can be transferred from the hands of this general to continue the battle for a long distance, and the troops are still too small, it seems that some men and horses have to be borrowed from other military towns!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head when he heard this: "General, it's not the last general to pour cold water, it's not easy to borrow troops from other military towns at this time."

Fumeng Lingcha and the others were silent when they heard this, in fact, they all knew that it was not easy to succeed in a sneak attack on Hengros City, you must know that there are now 5,000 soldiers and horses of Erwei Khan in Hengros City. Coupled with the 5,000 soldiers and horses sent by the Fire Spitting Immortal, there are still 10,000 people in total, and the possibility of a successful sneak attack is not very high, which is the first reason why other military towns will not borrow troops.

The second reason is that the war was going on for a day and a night. Not to mention the generals who fought to the death with the enemy, even the guards who stood on the platform to watch the battle were tired enough, and there were few generals who had the energy and physical strength to continue fighting, and although the Tang army won a great victory today. But the losses of all the military towns were very large, especially the cavalry losses, and now at this time. No one was willing to lend out the cavalry.

With these reasons, Fu Meng Lingcha could simply predict that even if he went to borrow troops, the other generals of the military town would definitely refuse politely, and not only would they not be able to borrow troops at that time, but they would lose face, which was not cost-effective!

Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said: "General, just now the last general said to pull King Asiran up, he still has 4,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and his subordinates are not very strong in battle today, and they are elite, they should be able to help us capture Hengros City, I don't know what you think?" ”

Fumeng Lingcha asked: "I just don't know if Asirot is willing to lead his troops with us, and whether he is willing to obey the command of this general."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "General, leave this matter to the last general, and the last general will definitely persuade King Asiran to agree."

Fu Meng Lingcha patted Zhao Ziliang on the shoulder, nodded and said, "Okay, you go and try it, if it doesn't work, we'll think of other ways."

"No!" Zhao Ziliang agreed, turned around and walked towards the location of Asiran's camp.

When Zhao Ziliang arrived at the camp of the Barhanna barracks, King Asiran was drinking wine and eating meat with his generals while watching a song and dance performance.

"Hahaha, General Zhao is here, hurry up, come and sit! Come on, prepare wine and meat for General Zhao! Seeing that Zhao Ziliang was very enthusiastic, Ah Silan hurriedly greeted.

This old guy is going to enjoy it! Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but scold, and said with a smile: "Thank you, King!" As he spoke, he sat down on an empty table near Asiran.

Soon the slave sent over the wine and meat, and Ah Si Lang picked up the wine cup and said with a smile: "These wine and meat are all sent by Lord Gai, the wine of the Tang Dynasty is really good wine, very strong, this king likes spirits, haha, come on, General Zhao, drink!" ”

"Please!" Zhao Ziliang picked up the wine poured by a slave girl, drank it in one gulp, put down the wine glass and went straight to the topic, and asked, "The king didn't ask me what I was doing so late?" ”

King Asirot was stunned when he heard this, "Uh, General Zhao didn't come here to eat meat and drink wine?" ”

"It's not that there is no wine and meat in my military tent, and the taste is not necessarily worse than that of the king! Now in the middle of the night, I'm here to beg for a drink? Zhao Ziliang shook his head as he spoke, and said, "Ask the king a question, does the king want to get rich?" ”

King Asirota laughed: "General Zhao's question is too funny, just ask who in this world doesn't want to get rich, unless he is a fool!" I'm afraid that even His Majesty the Tang Emperor wants to get rich, right? ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "It seems that the king is not drunk yet, and his mind is still very clear, so this is easy to do!" Now that I have a chance to make a fortune, I wonder if the king is willing to do it? ”

Seeing that Zhao Ziliang said so solemnly, Ah Xilan immediately put down the wine glass, raised his hand and said: "Please make it clear to the general, this king listens!" ”

Zhao Ziliang arched his hand to the big tent of the Chinese army and said: "The marshal has decided that our army will send a group of elite cavalry led by General Fumeng Lingcha, and from tomorrow morning, we will immediately go west day and night to attack Hengros City, as long as we take Hengros City." The Battle of Turgish is over. The number of this elite cavalry can not be too much, but it cannot be too small, five thousand elite cavalry is the best, my Tang army draws two thousand elites from each army, originally I wanted to suggest to General Fumeng to let Shi Guo and Shi Guo make up three thousand elite cavalry, after all, they have been resting in Xincheng for two days, and the soldiers are full of energy, and they should be able to carry out long-distance attacks, but I took into account that the relationship with the king is relatively close, so I came to ask the king. If the king is willing to send 3,000 fine horsemen, I will suggest to General Fumeng that the king lead the army with us, and if the king does not want to go, then forget it, as I did not say. By the way, General Fumeng also decided that as long as the sneak attack on Hengros City succeeded, then all the prisoners in Hengros City would be given to the foreign generals and soldiers who participated in this battle, and not a single prisoner of our Tang Army would be wanted. You must know that there are tens of thousands of people in and around the city of Hengross. If the king can get these populations, your country will surely be able to develop greatly!"

Ah Si Lang listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, and the wine was completely gone, and there was a light in his eyes. Sit up straight and look at Zhao Ziliang and ask, "Is this true?" ”

"No lie!"

Ah Siran immediately got up and said: "Okay, then it is a word, this king sent three thousand elite horsemen to attack Hengros City with General Fumeng!" ”

After getting rid of Ah Siran, Zhao Ziliang immediately returned to Fumeng Lingcha's camp. Report to him: "General, King Asiran has agreed to send 3,000 troops, but he has one condition. After the victory, all his captives were at his disposal! I have already agreed on behalf of the general."

Fumeng Lingcha said with a smile: "These barbarians are like white-eyed wolves, they can't be raised, and it's useless for us to come, since King Asirot wants to take prisoners, give them them, we can also save a batch of grain and grass!" ”

Next, Fumeng Lingcha and the generals under his tent discussed the matter of tomorrow's expedition, and Dugu Jun, who joined the army, said: "From this place to Hengros City is about three hundred miles, along the way there are Xincheng, Dunjian City, Ashi Bulai City, Julan City, tax construction city, etc., if we want not to reveal our whereabouts, we must bypass these towns, through the desert north of these towns, three hundred miles of desert is a distance not close, even if the average army marches at the fastest speed, it can only walk sixty miles a day, and our army must set off lightly, If you want to achieve the effect of a surprise raid, you must arrive at Hengros City within four days, otherwise it will be too late, Hengros City may get the news that the fire spitting fairy was defeated and captured, and become vigilant, that is to say, we must march every day to reach eighty to one hundred miles, the problem of food is not big, we can all carry dry food and dried meat, livestock can also carry concentrate, the key is to drink water, if there is no water in the desert, The whole army could be wiped out!"

Everyone knows that Dugu Jun's words are definitely not false, first of all, the problem of marching speed, the speed of marching in the desert is definitely not fast, the day is hot, the night is cold, you can also brave the heat during the day, you can never march at night, the night temperature in the desert will drop to below zero, and there are sandstorms at any time, once you encounter a sandstorm and can't find a place to hide, there is a danger of being buried under the sand, so you must find a safe place to camp at dusk every day, in addition, the night march is also easy to get lost. Therefore, marching seventy or eighty miles a day is already the limit. In addition, the amount of equipment, materials and drinking water carried will affect the speed of the march, and the excessive materials carried by the horses will inevitably reduce the speed of the march, and the horses themselves will carry the cavalry, and the knights also have armor, weapons, bows and arrows, etc., these things are already very heavy, and if you carry a large amount of drinking water and food, it will be good to be able to walk fifty miles a day. At this rate of marching, it would take at least six days to reach the city of Hengros, which is too long and too long. Therefore, food can only be carried for four days at most, and drinking water cannot be brought more, but both men and horses need to drink water, which forms a contradiction, and how much drinking water can be carried in order not to affect the speed of the march of eighty miles a day.

Zhao Ziliang stood up and said: "General, the matter of food and drinking water will be handed over to the last general, and the last general will ensure that during the march, people and horses will not lack food, grass and drinking water!" ”

Bian Lingcheng said in a gloomy tone: "You promise? How can you guarantee it? This in itself is very contradictory, bringing too much water will affect the speed of the march, bringing less will not drink enough, and no water to drink in the desert will kill people! ”

Zhao Ziliang bowed his hand to Fu Meng Lingcha and said, "General, Lord Dugu still has to stay here to deal with other affairs. In this battle, the last general asked himself to be in charge of the logistics affairs of the army, and the last general was willing to guarantee enough food, grass and drinking water to supply the army with his head, and he would never slow down the speed of the army! ”

Fu Meng Lingcha hesitated: "Can you really guarantee it? You must know that this is not a joke, once there is a problem with food, grass and drinking water, it doesn't matter if you die alone, it will drag down 5,000 elite riders! Can you tell us about your approach? ”

"This ・・・・・・ general, the last general's method can't be said, and I ask the general to forgive me!"

Fu Meng Lingcha stared at Zhao Ziliang for a long time before he said loudly: "Okay, General Ben will believe you this time and take a gamble with you!" ”

After speaking, Fumeng Lingcha said to Dugu Jun: "Dugu, you negotiate with Ziliang, whatever he wants, you give him anything, as long as he can take it away, give it to him!" ”

"No!" (To be continued.) )
