"Clay, you immediately mobilize 30,000 elite cavalry. Tonight we will show Hetao that our Tyumen men are not cowards."
Memphis took a deep breath and said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing.
Tiucle said worriedly: "Commander, are you okay with your health?"
Memphis shook his head: "It's okay, I just got choked accidentally. You immediately mobilized the troops. What you said makes sense. We have been passively avoiding the war. If the soldiers don't have to go to the battlefield, I'm afraid their morale will have collapsed."
Tiukelei was overjoyed and was about to leave when Memphis suddenly grabbed his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Clay, the best direction to attack is from the north, which should be the weakest point in the Loop. Wu Xiaolangjun again
They are talented, but there will eventually be a certain gap compared to their five battles. Moreover, there is also a Phoenix Dance Legion with extremely poor combat effectiveness, so we might as well open a gap from here."
Tiucle nodded quickly, and he listened to Memphis's words without missing a word. He had followed Memphis for many years, so he naturally knew what kind of person his immediate boss was.
"Commander, don't worry..." Tiucle was about to express his loyalty when he suddenly felt his nose itching and couldn't help but sneeze several times.
Memphis frowned, still holding Tiucle's shoulders, and said doubtfully: "Clay, do you think there is something strange tonight?"
"One thing, why do you always sneeze?" Teuclet sneezed twice again, confused.
Memphis let go of Teoukele, pointed straight ahead and said, "Look, what are those bright spots?"
Teuclet looked around and saw that about a mile away, in the deep night, there seemed to be countless behemoths lying there, and those few lights came from the eyes of the behemoths.
"What is this? A giant beast from the ancient times?" Tiucle asked in confusion.
Memphis looked at the flags on the city wall. The all-silk Tyumen flag was still flying toward the southwest. Looking through his head, he found that the few lights flickered on and off, wavering unsteadily.
Tiucle was confused: "What on earth is going on?"
Memphis's face was ashen and he said seriously: "Smoke! The Loop wants to use thick smoke to smoke us out to fight with them!"
"Field battle? Who is afraid of whom?" Tiucle said disdainfully: "Besides, can such smoke smoke us out? That's a joke!"
But Tiuclet stopped laughing immediately, because his nostrils were so sour, and even his eyes felt a little stinging. Tiuclet rubbed his eyes, but found that they were terribly stinging, and the more he rubbed them, the worse they were.
"They must have added arsenic and chili powder in it, otherwise it wouldn't be so dazzling!" Memphis said, rubbing his red eyes.
Yes, the purpose of the Hetao is to use thick smoke to smoke out the Qiuming army from the city.
In order to capture Qingcaiwei, the Hetao has indeed thought of many ways. However, it will either take a long time or pay a high price. However, both of these are quite difficult for the Hetao.
Sa Shan's nearly 300,000 troops, led by Xibu Jiasha, have marched north to the Western Regions, preparing to forcibly remove the nail that is Loulan City.
Sashan and Hetao have different grievances. For Sashan, the high priest of the Sani religion, the messenger of God, and the national preceptor Leng Ye died in the Shenzhou Dynasty, and Achilles's brother Tipu also went on this expedition.
During the war, the entire army was wiped out along with 200,000 soldiers. Sashan will never forget this hatred.
But for Hetao, Sashan deserved death. The main reason why the Dingzhou Incident happened was because the spy Lu Bumi was causing trouble. If not for this, Hetao would never have suffered such a disaster. Thinking of Lu Bumi It was God who specially rescued him from Tiandu Shengjing and entrusted him with important tasks. As a result, most of the military and political leaders in Hetao lost their relatives in this incident, and the soldiers in Hetao were furious. In response to Sashan's anger, they even Still above the foreign tribes beyond the Great Wall and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty.
"No matter what my lord's opinion is, the Sashan Dynasty must destroy its clan." This means bloodshed.
Xuanji's words are relatively written, but there is no room for maneuver: "Sashan is ambitious and commits all kinds of crimes including rape, robbery and robbery in our country. If his clan is not exterminated, how can he explain it to the people of Hetao and the people of the world?" He is a well-known moderate, but even this senior executive of Hetao, who is always known for his moderateness, does not hide his murderous intention when talking about Sashan.
Xuanji's wife Yancai was buried in Dingzhou City that day, and she lost one body and two lives. This situation was quite common at the time. Yancai became pregnant not long after arriving in Hetao. Unfortunately, she miscarried. Xuanji regretted it for a long time. Later, she finally got pregnant again, but she actually died in the battle in Dinghao City. Xuanji is also a human being, and he also has emotions and desires. Therefore, Xuanji gnashed his teeth when talking about Sashan.
Rough people like Xin Ke and Jiang Chenzhou were even more direct: "Then what else is there to say? Leave Jiayu in the west and wash away Sashan with blood. It's that simple."
If it were in the past, Sashan would not have cared about Loop's resentment at all. Sashan founded the country through war, and in the past hundred years, it has destroyed the country and killed tens of millions of people. There are countless people who want to destroy Sashan. However, these people were eventually killed by Sashan Shan was wiped out one by one. But it is different now. After losing the 200,000 elite troops of Tipu, Sashan's military strength has been seriously affected. And the power of Hetao is no longer something that Sashan can resist. Sashan knows very well There is bound to be a battle between the two countries, and this battle is related to Sashan's life and death.
If the Hetao is defeated, they can retreat to Jiayuguan and recharge their batteries before attacking again. However, Sashan is different. If they are defeated, then according to the virtues of the Hetao, they will definitely slaughter thousands of miles without leaving a blade of grass. Therefore, the army set out in the Hetao Before, they had to make corresponding military deployments in order to win a better strategic situation in the battle with the Hetao.
Loulan City is now a nail in the Hetao road for Sashan. By taking down Loulan, Sashan can not only join forces with Rouran in the north. Although the relationship between the two parties is not good, Rouran will definitely not be affected by this. A small gain, a big gain. Moreover, Sashan was able to cut off Hetao's arm that stretched into the Sea of Death in the Western Region, depriving Hetao of the bridgehead to attack the Western Region.
Hetao naturally understood the importance of Loulan, so after receiving the news, Haotian immediately ordered an attack on Tieying Qiu Ming to end the battle in the shortest time, and then led a large army to rescue Loulan.
Haotian had an order, and the situation was indeed urgent. Naturally, Xue Sha and the others did not dare to neglect. After all, there were hundreds of thousands of Qiu Ming people in the green grassland, and the losses would be too great. Moreover, a large number of infantry must be used in this way. However, Blockade the opponent, preventing the herdsmen of Qiuming from leaving the city to graze. Finally, due to lack of food, they took the initiative to go out of the city to fight with themselves, which would take too long. In a dilemma, Dou Guangye came up with a whimsical method, which was to use smoke .
At that time, the Hetao generals sneered. If it was in a mountainous area or a cave tunnel, smoke would be a good method. But the prairie is vast and the smoke will easily disperse when the wind blows. However, Dou Guangye guarantees that within three days
There will be a weak northwest wind, and after doing a small experiment, Xuesha Fengjing and others, who were at a loss what to do, thought they might as well give it a try, so they took action.
Thousands of bundles of green grass were cut and piled in the northwest of the grassland. They were filled with arsenic and other poisons that could emit irritating gases. Together with the leaves of the bitter cypress tree that Dou Guangye obtained from someone unknown, this
When burning, leaves can emit irritating and vomiting gases. Although it is similar to burning cow dung and wolf dung, it is more powerful, especially it has a great lethal effect on human eyes, and can even cause damage to the eyes.
Temporary blindness.
"This seems to have a good effect. I just threw a sheep over, and when I couldn't get a stick of incense, the sheep became restless. Haha, it almost changed from a sheep to a goat." Xin Ke said cheerfully.
Xue Sha also smiled and nodded. In order to realize the effect of the thick smoke, he even tried it himself. In the end, it only took a moment for him to burn incense. Xue Sha, who had his eyes open and had no resistance, suddenly turned red and even shed tears.
It flowed down. His throat was also itchy and unbearable. Only then did he truly believe the power of the thick smoke.
However, when Xin Ke mentioned this goat, Xue Sha couldn't help but said: "Xin Shuai, can you please just don't mention the word sheep? I have been eating mutton every day these days, and I almost looked like those nomadic barbarians.
It smells like sheep."
Xin Ke burst out laughing. After killing Rouran elder Xin Sen a few days ago, he looted the territory in the northeast of Rouran. All the sheep he saw were robbed by him.
It was used as military rations. The situation of the other cavalry groups was not much better. They ate mutton every day. The soldiers felt very happy at first. After all, they had enough to eat every day, and every meal was meat. It was really good. It only lasted a few days.
After that, most of the soldiers began to get tired of it. When they smelled the unique smell of mutton, they felt nauseous. It was like a bloodbath. When eating every day, they must be wearing a pack of pickles in their arms, otherwise they would not be able to swallow it.
Go down.
The soldiers in the army all joked that even if they were blindfolded on the battlefield, they would know whether the person in front of them was an enemy or a comrade, because the smell of sheep on the nomadic cavalry was too strong.
"It won't work without wind, but if the wind is strong, there will be problems as well." Xue Sha murmured: "I hope Dou Guangye's prediction is accurate, otherwise I will have to teach him a lesson."
Xin Ke laughed: "But if this move can really force Memphis out, then it must be reported to the lord and he will be credited with a great merit."
At the beginning, Hetao didn't know that Sashan was sending troops to the north, so it was very slow. In the initial prediction of the bloody killing, Hetao had 500,000 cavalry to surround Qingcai, and then the infantry followed up, with an absolute advantage in strength.
Qiu Ming was defeated. However, due to Sa Shan's sudden troops, Hetao had to resolve the battle in the northwest prairie as soon as possible.
"Well, the military advisor's original plan was to exterminate Tie Ying Qiu Ming as much as possible before the end of the year. If not, he would be severely damaged, but now he actually wants to exterminate his clan before October. The plan cannot match the changes." Xin Xin.
He sighed and said.
Xue Sha laughed and said: "Xin Shuai, are you questioning the strategic planning ability?"
"I don't dare." Xinke laughed and said, "Commander Xue, you always slap the blame like this, isn't it good?"
Standing on the edge of the camp, watching the flag at the entrance of the camp fluttering feebly to the southeast, Xue Sha and Xin Ke felt quite happy. The Hetao had already stored a large amount of green grass. The grass was not easy to burn, but when it was poured with grease, it could still burn.
Get up. However, the purpose of the Loop is not to make them burn, but to emit thick smoke. Therefore, as soon as you see a fire coming out somewhere, throw a big bundle of grass over it immediately.
Xue Sha watched for a while and said in a deep voice: "Order the patrolling soldiers to be on full alert. Qiu Ming may rush out and fight us at any time."
Xinke thought for a moment, and suddenly said with a sinister smile: "Commander Blood, why not pile up all the horse rifles at the exit of the green grassland, so that even if the Tyumen cavalry can rush out, they can delay it for a while."
Xue Sha looked sideways at Xin Ke, a little confused. Xin Ke had a rough appearance but a delicate heart, but he had never bothered to use these underhanded tricks. When did he learn to be so cunning?
Xin Ke saw through Xue Sha's thoughts and said with a smile: "Commander Xue, I just want to destroy Qiu Ming as soon as possible and rush to the Western Regions to fight Sashan. Those bastards in Sashan, I will kill them all sooner or later.
!" Having said this, Xinke narrowed his eyes and his face was full of murderous intent.
In the Battle of Dingzhou, not only Tianyi died in the battle, but Zhu Ping and her unborn child also died here. In addition to Qingyun's Haoquan, half of Xin's few relatives had died. How could we not let this happen?
Is he angry? What makes Xinke the most angry is that Han Mei's head was chopped off by Sashan and sealed with lime before being sent back to Sashan. Thinking that his wife still endured such humiliation after her death, Xinke
I just want to cramp and skin all the 30 million people in Sashan.
Xue Sha also felt something about it. His daughter Alan died under the butcher's knife of Iron Eagle's invading army, and his righteous daughter Tianyi died in the same battle a few years later.
Ming. Xue Kill is a murderous person to begin with, and his anger towards Sa Shan is not at all underwhelming.
Patting Xin Ke's shoulder, Xue Sha said in a deep voice: "Commander Xin, even if we chase Sa Shan to the ends of the earth, we will still wipe out Sa Shan's clan!"
Xinke nodded firmly. Suddenly, Xue Sha's movements froze. Xin Ke followed Xue Sha's gaze and saw that there seemed to be a longing figure on the other side of the green grassland. The two of them felt happy. It seemed that Qiu Ming really couldn't bear it.
.
"Commander Blood, the soldiers under your command come from three legions. Coordination is not easy in the dark. It is better for me to go up first to prevent Qiu Ming from cheating!"
Although the thick smoke in the Hetao made the Qiuming soldiers in the Green Grassland miserable, it also restricted the attack on the Hetao. As the thick smoke increased, the entire Green Grassland was shrouded in gray smoke. Not to mention the city.
The Tyumen herdsmen and even the Hetao soldiers who were slightly closer to the green grassland all felt their eyes stinging and their throats were dry and itchy.
"Dou Guangye, that little bastard, did he tell us how to prevent this thick smoke from getting to us?" Zhang Xingxin, the general under Xinke, roared depressedly.
Liu Zhiya laughed: "No. But he said that when the smoke clears, we won't hurt ourselves."
Zhang Xingzhen slapped his head and didn't know what he was scolding again. But he was not scolding Dou Guangye, it was just a natural way of venting his anger.
As soon as Xinke's army came up to meet them, they realized that they had made a fuss out of a molehill. The number of Tyumen cavalry that attacked could not exceed 30,000, and the leading general was not Memphis.
Tiuuke was originally planning to take advantage of Loop's negligence and kill someone off guard to boost Tyumen's morale. However, he didn't expect that Loop had already prepared for it, and Xinji directly led the entire Blue Dragon Army to meet him.
Lai was shocked. He had seen the fierce fighting power of Xingke's Blue Dragon Legion. Not to mention him, even Memphis himself led the army. Seeing that Xingke's already prepared Blue Dragon Legion had to take a detour.
Originally, Teuclet wanted to go out and charge for a while, but after seeing the letter, he wisely chose to retreat. Although this was a bit embarrassing, at least he saved a small life.
Xin Ke was furious. He didn't expect that the other party would be so timid. He quickly led his army to pursue him, but as soon as he got close to the Qing Prairie City, he was smoked back by the gray smoke.
"Forget it, all ministries are on heightened alert! The smoke is so thick, they won't be able to hide inside for long." Xin Ke said viciously.
Xinke was angry when suddenly a soldier came to report that Xuesha asked him to go there immediately and discuss important matters. Xinke was very strange. He had just separated from Xuesha. What could happen to Xuesha?
?However, since Blood Killing requires someone to come to deliver the order, it won’t be aimless. Xing Ke had no choice but to head forward in a hurry despite being confused.
Xue Sha had a stern face, standing under the starry sky, his eyes were cold and sharp. Zhenshan was lying behind him, stretching his body lazily. When he saw the letter coming, Zhenshan shook his head and continued to lie down.
"Commander Blood, why are you so anxious?" Xinke asked doubtfully.
Xue Sha put his hands behind his back and said with a wry smile: "Dou Guangye just sent someone to report that there may be a heavy rainstorm tonight."
"Heavy rain?" Xin Ke's eyebrows immediately wrinkled. Thick smoke has now enveloped the entire green grassland, but when the heavy rain comes, the smoke will definitely disappear. In that case, won't the initial efforts of the Hetao side be in vain?
?
Xue Sha sighed: "This kid Dou Guangye is still too young. At first, he only paid attention to the wind direction and did not consider the possibility of heavy rain. We were too negligent at the time. However, Feng Shuai had a suggestion. Alas.
, man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation.”
Originally, the four armies of Hetao surrounded Qingcai, but considering the influence of wind direction and thick smoke, the bloody southern armies merged with Xingeng's western armies. The soldiers on the eastern front led by Feng Jing also slowly moved north towards Wu Xiaolang.
Jun moved closer and deliberately left a gap in the southeast. The two armies were in the northeast and the other in the southwest, facing each other across the green grassland and the city.
When Xin Ke heard that it was Feng Jing's suggestion, he immediately became interested and quickly opened his mouth to ask.
