Chapter 17 The 17th round of besieging Shacheng and digging to obtain grain

Zhaohui didn't know about Ma Guangzu's move, nor did he expect it.He succeeded in kicking the battalion, and Huo Jizhan's battalion was completely paralyzed and lost the command system.I had no choice but to withdraw from the camp and reorganize the team.Taking this opportunity, Zhaohui ordered people to burn the camp, and at the same time ordered people to collect food, feed the horses and drink water, and take a rest.Fortunately, it was dinner time in the camp, so there were naturally a lot of cooked lamb shanks and naan bread, and the horses had enough for the people to eat, and all the rest were thrown into the fire and burned. There was a loud voice, and in the midst of surprise, Zhao Zhangqun flew over to report: "Father, the people from Ma Junmen have come to kill us!"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Hui was taken aback, "How many people came here?" "It's too dark to see clearly. The whole camp is beating drums to cheer!" Zhaohui didn't ask any more questions, and looked left and right to see if there was no high ground, so he rode on his horse, held up the binoculars to look south, and then looked east and north, put down the lens tube and said, "It's a feint. We attacked this stockade. Ji Zhan's main force didn't move out, this man is really calm, the old horse is coming to poke this hornet's nest again to see the wind..." While speaking, the south has already turned fire.Huo Jizhan's soldiers were attacked without dinner, disrupted the formation, retreated hastily with heavy casualties, and were shocked and charged by Liao Huaqing again. The tired and hungry soldiers immediately became a commotion.Before he could counterattack, Liao Huaqing had already led his team back to the south.The soldiers and horses panicked and gasped for breath, and there were three cannon shots in Ma Guangzu's camp, as if the earth was collapsing. There were countless Qing soldiers in the dark ground, including infantry and cavalry.It seems that Huo Jizhan has finally been angered by the Qing soldiers' repeated rampage and killing. Zhaohui saw the officers and soldiers rushing to the ground, and calculated that Huo Jizhan's troops in the south could only fight more than 10,000 people. He gritted his teeth, Just about to order the whole team to go around the camp to meet Ma Guangzu, suddenly saw three red flames rising from the south, bursting and scattering in the night sky, followed by three yellow ones and three white ones rising and falling slowly opening ... Just as he was wondering, there was a flash of light in the northeast direction, and then there was a dull explosion sound. After three consecutive bangs, in the deathly silence, there was a faint cry of killing in the northeast direction, like a distant The torrential rain was gradually approaching by the gust of wind, and it was like a tsunami at high tide and the surging waves rushed towards the shore. Countless horseshoes were trampling indiscriminately. come over……

"Get on the horses, all!" Zhao Hui waved his hands and shouted, "Zhang Qun sent someone to order Ma Guangzu to quickly retreat back to the camp." "Za!—what shall we do?" "The whole army has come, we will go back to camp and stick to it! We don't want anything but food, and our wounded will follow Ma Guangzu." "tie!" Zhaohui didn't speak anymore, and led more than 5,000 riders to the meadow on the east side of the enemy camp to form a square team, silently observing the situation around him.I saw the torches of the enemy army that broke out of the camp from the south pressing towards them like a dragon, and the darkness of my own camp stretched for several miles to the east, and Ma Guangzu's soldiers were also closing in on the camp.About five or six miles away from the big camp, the lights flickered on and off, and the killing sounds were getting closer and closer without hesitation.

"What should I do?" Zhaohui had countless thoughts in an instant: If he fought back to take back the old camp, it would be the safest thing in front of him, but this place is ten miles away from the old camp, and the enemy army is close behind the old camp. Wan Shengli's army and more than 10,000 chasing soldiers behind him flanked him. Although there were soldiers in Hu Fugui's place, the water far away could not quench his thirst.In case the enemy preemptively occupied the old camp and forcibly attacked the enemy head-on, the consequences of flanking the enemy would be even more disastrous.Almost in a flash he dismissed the idea.Retreating into Ma Guangzu's camp is also a way, but the enemy on the south side will not let it go easily, they must be entangled to death, morale will decline, and a hundred sorrows will come, Hu Fugui still can't respond to help—after thinking about it, he decided Le turned his horse's head and said loudly to the soldiers on the left: "There is an old saying that 'the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone'! We have successfully lured the enemy, and the battalion has already kicked this group to pieces. Be bold, 'Yi Shuihan'!" The horsewhip pointed to the south and said: "We will not return to the camp, we will fight south until we reach the Heishui River, and join forces with the old camp. Who is afraid of death? Come out and speak, and I will let him go to the horse army In the gate camp, no crime will be added!"

This group of soldiers only knew how to set fire to fight, and they didn't understand what he meant when he said "a water cold", but everyone understood what he said later. Some people threw up their arms and yelled: "We will never return to the military gate." How to fight, Dajunmen just give orders!" "What a bastard, I slaughtered him!" "Listen, these are a group of frightened birds that we drove out of the camp!" Zhaohui smiled and pointed to the south, "We are going east, they must think that they are timid and want to retreat to Ma Guangzu's camp, and they must intercept them. West, cut it in half, tear open a bloody hole, and then break out to the south... Now it's—" He took out his pocket watch to see, "It's ugly time, before noon, we can go to the Heishuihe Camp .Zhao Zhangqun—Lead me, kill! Each battalion will lead soldiers, no matter how fiercely they fight, they must try their best to keep the establishment in order. My people, risk your life to earn fame in front of the emperor!" Said, A vertical ride rushed out...

The fight went smoothly at first, and everything was as expected. Seeing them marching southeast, Huo Jizhan's Hui soldiers thought they were going to flee to Ma Guangzu's camp, so they immediately accelerated to intercept them. As soon as he turned and hit the southwest, he interrupted Huo Jizhan's more than ten thousand soldiers and horses at both ends.The enemy saw Zhaohui's intention clearly, shouted in unison, and immediately attacked in the middle.Zhaohui has six thousand soldiers, and Huo Jizhan has about nine thousand cavalry to intercept them desperately.Zhaohui led tired soldiers, while Huo Jizhan led a cowardly army. Fighting in the dark and moonless wilderness, the most feared thing is that the establishment will disrupt the enemy and make no distinction between ourselves and the enemy. At this moment, both sides are afraid.Hearing the sound of killing from the northeast getting closer and closer, the returning soldiers were in high spirits, thousands of lit torches were moving away like fire dragons, Zhao Hui was repelled for a while, and immediately another group of people rushed up and stuck tightly , I couldn't help thinking in my heart: I can't take off this plaster. If Tianming joins forces here, Ma Guangzu and Liao Huaqing will come out to rescue them. In an instant, the camp will be gone, and everyone will be wiped out!In a hurry, Zhaozhang saw a group of leaping horses and guns coming from the east road to clash, panting: "Father! It's hard to get back to the soldiers, as soon as they fight, they will leave, and they will chase after they stop—what should I do?"

"you're tired right?" "I can hold on for a while..." In the shadow of the torch, Zhaohui pointed to a small river to the south, and said, "The Chinese army dispatched five hundred muskets to your command, plus one thousand archers. With the hurdles created by the bank, you block them for me. The firepower must be fierce." Be ruthless!" "Yes!" Zhang Qun returned to his horse and left. "Wait," Zhaohui called to stop him, "...Looking at the situation, they are going to cut off our way back to Hu Fugui's camp. If you block it for half an hour, retreat to the southeast. If the soldiers stop you, look west. I, put them together and make calculations."

... Zhaozhangqun rode away, and seeing the enemies on both sides close up again in spite of everything, the Qing soldiers returned to their horses and retreated one after another. Zhaohui shouted: "Musketeers, the left team follows me, the right team follows Zhaozhangqun—towards them There are many people, open fire!" "boom!" A row of muskets fired, and the gunners retracted their charges, and another row of gunmen raised their guns and fired in volley, and there was another loud "bang".Since the night battle, it was the first time for a thousand gunmen to fire intensively. The sound was indeed frightening. The enemy's torches were bright and people were densely packed. The guns rang out, and the arrows shot past like a shower of locusts. I don't know how many people were shot and arrows. The horse neighed and the warrior lay down, the enemy panicked and retreated a little in the smoke.Zhaohui swept his whip lightly back, clasped his legs and shouted: "Go!" He gave his son a sad look, and led more than two thousand people to the south, and Zhao Zhangqun was heard far behind. The volley of guns roared...

It was getting brighter.After rushing out of the southwest of Liao Huaqing's camp, he, a brave man, never encountered returning soldiers who blocked him head-on.Now it has entered the Heishui River Basin, and the grassland has long since disappeared. There are still endless sand dunes and Gobi Gobi, with dense bushes such as Populus euphratica, red willow, camel, thorn and thorn growing in the east and west. "Oil River", quietly flowing across the sand dunes... After a fierce battle and fighting, entering this place overnight, everyone feels a little bit like a world away.Zhaohui saw a small amount of waterlogging between the sand dunes on the river beach, so he ordered his horse to rest for dinner. He dismounted by himself, and tried to walk a few steps, and his already stiff legs became a little alive. Chewing the leg meat, he sent out a sentry team, stepped eastward to watch the path, and went back north to inquire about Zhaozhang Group.

Half an hour later, the people from the East Road came back. The scout was so exhausted that he seemed to be numb to fear. He swayed and pointed to the east and said, "Dajunmen... He Zhuo's soldiers have blocked the Wawa River. There are so many intersections... We went there without fighting or chasing, so we set up camp there and set up tents. We walked slowly, as if we were going to settle down here." Zhaohui listened through gritted teeth, and said, "They have water there. ?” The scout replied, “Yes! On the beach between the Wawa River and the Heishui River, a pot is already burning! He wants to stop us from going home…” Zhaohui nodded and asked again : "Did you see the camel caravan?"

"No." The sergeant replied. That is to say, the enemy's food transport team has not yet come up.At this time, if there are ten thousand in hand, no, even if there are only five thousand fresh troops, Huo Jizhan will not be able to stop them at all.It's a pity not, there are only two thousand people, and everyone is so tired that their bones are weak. Even if the more than three thousand people led by Zhao Zhangqun can return with the whole army, they will be helpless.Thinking about it, Zhaohui felt an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She hurriedly coughed to stop her hurt, got up and shuffled, and tried her best to look around with vigor, and ordered with a smile: "Everyone move closer to me. At this time There are no great generals, only great soldiers Zhaohui!" The feet of the two thousand soldiers seemed to be filled with lead, and they slowly gathered together. They were surprised to find that this general, who always had a straight face, was sitting by the sand like a child at this moment, with a childish expression on his face. smile.He greeted the soldiers on the left and right: "I'm tired, just sit down! The enemy here can be seen from ten miles away." He pointed to a soldier with a wound on his cheek and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you, you are so sad? Your name is Chang Dafa, did you lose from gambling, or did you dream that your wife grabbed you?" Everyone laughed. "Zhaozhangqun is my son, you all know it." Zhaohui glanced to the north and smiled, "Hailancha also has a son who follows Changji. His son is interesting, he is the matchmaker between his father and his mother." ..." People were startled for a moment, and then laughed loudly: He never joked, let alone homely, and people couldn't help laughing when he opened his mouth like this.Then someone shouted: "Dajunmen, tell the brothers!" "That happened more than 20 years ago. Lao Hai and I sent troops to Jinchuan with the leader Naxiang and Zhang Dajun..." Zhaohui sat on the ground and looked up at the sky with a smile, recalling the past.How did Neqin Zhang Guangsi make a mistake in command and the army was defeated? Liao Huaqing was hit by a bird gun and was injured all over his body. How did he save Neqin himself?How did Neqin Zhang Guangsi lie about the military situation in fear of crime, and revenge to kill himself and Hai Lancha.How did the two discuss and flee back to Beijing to report the truth? Hai Lancha happened to meet Ding E'er on a boat on the Yellow River. As the story was told one by one, everyone's eyes flashed with anger, and they turned and smiled, completely forgetting that they were in a dangerous situation.Someone asked: "Zhaojunmen, I heard that you were imprisoned in Shuntian Mansion, killed people in prison, and saved our wife of the armymen. Even Long Live Lord was alarmed. The emperor personally asked the prison and gave our wife a phoenix crown and Xiapei, but there are?" "Yes, there is. It's not as mysterious as your legends. I only rewarded her phoenix crown after I recovered." Zhao Hui smiled, "My story is not as good as the Navy Gate's in all fairness. Let me talk about these past events with everyone. , One is to relieve boredom, and the other is to talk about the fate of people, it is destined, and those who deserve to die don’t fight, and those who fall into horseshoe nests and drown in rainy days, they don’t deserve to die. No more. If I share weal and woe with my brothers, I will never be a bastard like Zhang Guangsi..." Just as he was speaking, a sergeant on the sand slope stood up and pointed to the distance and shouted: "Dajunmen! Young master——Young master Lord, they are back!" Zhaohui turned over and stood up, and all the sergeants also stood up, and there were about 2,000 soldiers walking on the beach, walking at the head of the leader. Wrapped in raw cloth bandages, holding a gun in one hand and holding the bridle in one hand, and supporting his waist with the other hand, it was Zhao Zhangqun. Everyone on the beach immediately cheered, and the soldiers in the ranks also approached with cheers.Zhao Zhangqun got off his horse with a pale face and forced a smile. His body flattened and he almost fell to the ground. Several soldiers rushed over to support him.Zhao Hui took a step forward and leaned over to look at him, asking, "How is it?" "It's nothing, it doesn't matter..." Zhao Zhangqun pushed away the sergeant, stood still and said, "A man with a chain hammer smashed my horse to death, and someone swept my left side..." He turned his face The mouth seemed to be crying and laughing, "This time I am a hero, my son is not as capable as him... These people are really kind! The arrows pierced their bodies like hedgehogs. I shot through the chest and fell to the ground without letting go-almost knocked me down. Drag off the horse! We died more than 800 people, and none of the wounded came back, and finally all the guns were brought back..." He said, looking like he was about to fall.Everyone hurriedly helped him to sit down, gave him water and rubbed his back. When Zhaohui heard that the muskets had been brought back, she was relieved, but said: "It's good to be alive. It's good to be alive... It's hard for you to fight well... These thousands of people are all good, dead and alive I have to remember them, and I have to give them a piece of wealth..." "I looked all the way back, and the road to the east has been cut off." Zhaozhangqun drank some water and became more energetic, and said, "Ma Guangzu's camp has been joined with Liao Huaqing. I have not succeeded in contacting them several times. I see them It is to suppress us to a place without water, to cut off from the camp and eat our dumplings... There is no danger in this place, we have less than 5,000 people, so we can't stand. Listen to me, Dad, We have water, food, meat, and muskets. We will fight again when we are full, and we will break through to the east and return to the old camp. This is not a place to stick to..." Zhao Hui approached and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, your father is not that easy to bully. You, Uncle Hu, Uncle Ma, Uncle Liao, will contact us. If you don't make good contact, you can't go out anymore..." He stood Straighten your body and observe the terrain. Although there are some small sand dunes here, there is neither camping equipment nor trenches, and the terrain is low due to the Youhe River to the south. It is indeed not a place for camping.All the way to the east is heavily guarded by the enemy, just to "block" his way back, how could he easily let himself kill him!I originally thought that kicking the battalion could drag the main force of the enemy to the decisive battle here, but it seems that in addition to kicking the battalion, smashing some guys and killing some people, Ma Guangzu's dispatch attracted the ambush soldiers to come forward, and stabbed the hornet's nest. The hornet did not chase and sting the nest. You can't underestimate Jizhan, but I was careless, and I couldn't predict this move!Holding his chin and biting his lower lip, he stared at the low hills on the opposite bank in a daze for a while, and then looked at the oil in the river. A thought suddenly moved in his mind, and he pointed to the southeast and said: "The Chinese army goes to the two hundred brothers, to the two In the middle of the sand dunes, check to see if there is any water." Sitting next to him, Zhao Zhangqun said: "I have explored that side long ago, but there is no water. There is a cactus forest in the south, which grows more than ten feet high. I have tasted it, and it tastes good. It’s not right, but it’s not poisonous, and there’s a piece of sour and thorny tree, which can also quench thirst. There are four or five thousand of us, and we can’t do it with these..." "What do you mean it can't be done?" Seeing that he was getting better, Zhao Hui took up his identity as an old man again, stopped him and said, "I guess the enemy will come over at noon. Lao Hu and the others must be doing everything possible to contact me now, what if there is no disk OK? The grass and trees are dense there, there must be water below, go to someone, find a low-lying place for me to dig down." A Chinese army general led more than 200 people to wade across the Youhe River.Zhaohui stood on a high place with a binoculars and just observed, looked at the river and the terrain, pointed to the opposite bank and shouted: "There must be water below. This is the upper reaches of the Wawa River, covered by sand, and the water in the lower reaches comes from the river. It seeped out from under the sand! This river of oil used to be water too, with oil on top and water on the bottom—otherwise, why is there water in the sand nest by the river?" He seemed to be praying desperately, and he seemed to be muttering He muttered to himself and analyzed physics, and everyone was stunned for a while. Suddenly, the group of soldiers on the other side of the river shouted loudly: "Dajunmen, this is a fucking city! It's buried in sand, and there are houses underneath." Excited, he shouted: "This is it! Another three thousand people - except the wounded, all go! Dig for me, there must be water." The soldiers were curious and excited when they heard the house was dug out under the sand, eager for the sound, and happily waded across the river.A group of 30 to 50 people, each looking for a low-lying place, began to dig. Without tools, it was actually very difficult to dig in the sand. When a hole was dug, the sand all around flowed towards the middle.These soldiers had no choice but to line up with their butts facing upwards, and rushed upward one by one with their heads sullen, delivering sand upwards like a waterwheel, revealing dozens of buried houses.Suddenly, a group of people yelled, as if they had picked up a gold ingot in the middle of the night, yelling in surprise, "There is a grain depot here!" Someone shouted loudly: "Water! Dajunmen, there is water!" The officers and soldiers of the sand dunes were jubilant, dust and mist were flying over a large area of ​​sand dunes, and they were working happily and vigorously. As a result, the wounded who were resting on the north bank of the river couldn't sit still anymore, and the generals crossed the river one after another with their support.Zhaohui still cared about having water, but she laughed and didn't believe the word "grain depot". She just laughed at Zhao Zhangqun and said, "I'm content with water, and there's food! How can we men have such a great blessing? "Speaking of a soldier jumping and jumping across the river holding grain in both hands, he ran and shouted: "Dajunmen...Look...grain!" He held it for Zhaohui to see.He stretched out his tongue and licked it, squeezed his nose and eyes together with a smile and said, "Miuzi! His mother's taste is not bad!" Zhaohui has already seen clearly that it is millet, and the color has turned white because it has not seen the sun for so many years, but it is millet after all, and it is actually a grain storehouse!Zhao Hui's head was a little dizzy, and his gaze became erratic. He was slightly drunk without drinking, but he foolishly took a pinch and chewed it in his mouth.Like all the sergeants, he had nothing to eat, and he had been eating mutton, mutton, and beef jerky for nearly half a month.The grainy fragrance of millet in the mouth permeates into the heart and spleen, as much fragrance as you want!He suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "This is God's care, the emperor is blessed and blessed, we should not die! Let's go, everything will pass..." He shouted and helped his son... There is indeed a city buried under the sand dunes opposite. Thousands of soldiers tried their best to dig out with their hands, and half a street has been dug out in the middle. There are more than ten feet away. In Shagou, almost all the sergeants only wore a pair of trousers, and were covered in oil, sweat and sand, and they were still working in full swing.Seeing that some soldiers were still digging southward, Zhaohui smiled and said, "Just clean up this area. I want to find gold and silver before we finish the battle." Then he asked, "Are there any dead bodies?" "Yes! More than a dozen—they are all the mummy corpses of old men and women." A soldier pointed to the sand dunes and said, "Throw them all out!" Zhaohui ordered: "Go to a few people and bury them. They have done a good job in guarding the grain depot!" Then he went to see the water. The fruit really did exist. It was on the side of a house. Soldiers dug out a piece of wet sand, and dug it more than four feet deep. A large piece of mud came out of the bottom of the pot and the soup was being clarified. The water is leaking in the middle—of course this amount of water cannot meet the needs of the entire army, but since there is a spring, there is no need to worry about making the pool bigger. Zhaohui smiled with satisfaction, pointed to the pool and said, "Protect this place and make it bigger." One point, at least one foot square and three feet deep—on this street, we will definitely find water again! Brothers, work harder, this is our lifeline!" He said and came to look at the food.The grain depot has not been fully exposed, and the roofs of more than a dozen bungalows have been exposed to the sky. The soldiers have uncovered a hole in the roofs. Some houses are full of grain bags, and some have half a house.The vertical and horizontal strewn mysteriously on the beach.Zhaohui deduced for a long time before realizing that this was actually a grain store or a temporary storage room for the camel team to transfer grain, and the entire city was buried.When he came to Xinjiang, he heard from the locals that a sandstorm would blow up overnight, and the entire sand mountain and dune would be removed, and the people of the rivers, mountains, rivers, and cities would be buried alive in the sand. Could it be that this catastrophe fell from the sky to this city one night decades ago, Turn this place into a barren desert?And just being discovered by the officers and soldiers who fled here, it can only be said that God’s will is clear... Just as I was thinking about praying and celebrating, there was yellow dust everywhere in the far north, and a sergeant pointed at it: "The military gate—— And Zhuo Huibing is coming!" "Understood." Zhaohui stood up calmly and looked through the binoculars.About 10,000 riders are approaching here, I don't know whether they are tired or the sand is difficult to walk, they walk a bit procrastinated, and there are still scattered horses struggling to catch up with the group.There are more than a dozen leading flags in the front, and the characters written in the curved lines on the top are not in Chinese, and Zhaohui can't read them, but judging by the guard of honor, it seems that Huo Jizhan's Chinese army camp has come in person! ... He put down the lens tube and gave an order: "All the horses are pulled to the south of the sand dunes to drink water and feed, and 500 people will be left to dig the pool. Where's Joe?" "The bidders are here!" "Bring on your armor, shields, and twenty muskets—clean and tidy." Zhao Hui walked down the sand dune and said, "I want to talk to this Huo across the river!" Huo Jizhan's soldiers and horses arrived, and the binoculars looked slow, but the horses' heads were very majestic when they arrived: more than a dozen embroidered gold and white flags were fluttering, and thousands of war horses were neighing wildly on the north bank of the Heishui River. The dust rolls straight into the air and spreads everywhere—seeing that the Qing army on the south bank is in ambush, and there are only forty or fifty generals Geshiha guarding them, surrounded by a big general in red robes and silver armor, standing calmly and waiting, The returning army also seemed to be very surprised. After a little rectification of the team, a general wearing a fox tail and an open collar robe came out and asked, "General Zhaohui? Which one?" "I am." Zhao Hui straightened up, said solemnly, and asked, "Who are you?" "I am Nauruzi, the retainer of Hezhuo Dadaiji." The general stood facing the sun, proudly raised his mustache, and stretched out his thumb, "Our Huo Dadaiji Khan wants to talk to you. "Zhaohui watched silently, and saw that the horses in front of the enemy line gave way one after another, and a white horse with a golden saddle came out with a bridle.A middle-aged man rides on a carved saddle studded with precious stones, a gold embroidered hat is also decorated with precious stones, a swan feather is inserted into his sideburns, and he is also a white robe with an open collar, but it is made of shiny satin and is full of jewels.The reunion face is the unique kind of white, straight nose and deep eyes of people from the Western Regions. The eyebrows and beard are so black and thick that they are as heavy as drawn with a brush. Huo Jizhan, the chief of Hezhuohui tribe, took over.Zhaohui lowered her anger and waited quietly for him to speak. Huo Jizhan was also looking at Zhaohui, who was already a "famous general in red robe" in the Qianlong Dynasty. After besieging Al Musana, he attacked three cities in a row west of Hami and chased him to Ama River. Zhaohui was like a shadow. Chasing after myself, I have seen his heroic prowess in the camp last night.At this moment, we met across the river under the daylight, and it was even more real. It was a tall man, with an unstoppable coldness between his brows, standing motionless by the riverside under the sand dunes in armor and robes, with a wild man behind him. There was deathly silence on the hill.He couldn't guess this man's heart. When he passed by Ma Guangzu and Liao Huaqing's camp, he could return to the camp safely with a little shock, but he fled to this dead place?Where are his soldiers hiding?Thinking about it, Huo Jizhan immediately saluted and said, "Your Excellency, you have worked hard all night!" Zhao Hui moved his nose imperceptibly, he did not expect that Huo Jizhan could speak Chinese. "I have lived in Yarkand in Dahe Zhuobu Kingdom, and I have never had any enmity with Bogda Khan, and we live in peace. Moreover, my brother and I were bullied by the Mongols, and the Great Khan sent troops to rescue us. We have always been grateful." Huo Ji Zhan Dao said, "I don't know which villain the Great Khan listened to to instigate discord, and sent a general to raise troops for no reason to question the crime. Hurt my gratitude and turn it into ice coal of the enemy's country?" After finishing speaking, he stared at Zhaohui. Zhao Hui had heard that Huo Jizhan was eloquent and eloquent, and he had heard these few words. He thought that it would be more convenient to tell his crimes directly than to argue about the entangled past. Leng said: "You are also Khan, and Emperor Qianlong is also Khan. I want to know when you will be equal? ​​You are just a small slave tribe of the Cering Junggar tribe who has been imprisoned in Junggar for many years. The prisoner, since he was rescued by the imperial court, why didn't he repay his kindness to drink water and think of the source, instead, he bet you with the life of your people, the land, cattle and sheep, that you were rich and honored, and that you split the land and divided the borders from the foreign dynasty, and brought this murderous disaster? I advise you, It’s not too late to make amends if you go astray, my three armies are all cavalry heroes who conquered the Junggar tribe, you are like an egg sandwiched between three stones, if you dare to act recklessly, you will be smashed to pieces!” "Eggs!" Huo Jizhan put his hands on the saddle, suddenly looked up and laughed, "I respect you for being a good man, you dare to be so arrogant! This is not Junggar, let alone the Central Plains. I - back to my hometown, that is, Returned to the embrace of God. Dragon—Om, the dragon returns to the sea, do you understand? You rushed into my barracks last night, do you know why you got out alive? My children know that I ordered you not to be killed. You It's Changbanpo, I belong to Cao Cao!" Zhaohui was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that he was talking about the Three Kingdoms, remembering that Agui said that there was a master who was devoted to imitating Cao Cao's example, so he couldn't help smiling, because he said loudly: "You are Cao Cao, then we are naturally at odds with traitors— ——You are treacherous, ungrateful, betrayal of the Lord, and your heart and behavior are no different from Cao Cao. If you do evil against the sky, you will not only harm yourself, but also your brothers. The people who have returned to Xinjiang for thousands of miles have rebelled against tens of thousands of soldiers. Not being dragged down by you is an accident? I advise you to take advantage of the fact that the nest is not covered and the family is still early to make a plan, and you will beg for God's favor while you are bound. There is no need to worry about overwhelming the land. I am afraid that you will not be able to continue to smoke cigarettes if you are stubborn!" "You're still talking big when you're dying!" Huo Jizhan pointed at the sand dunes behind Zhaohui with his whip and said, "What is that? That's your grave! Your food road has been cut off by me. Ma Guangzu and Liao Huaqing led the remnants The defeated general is now fleeing to the Heishui River. That Hu——Hu Fugui is huddled in the camp and dare not come out...General Zhaohui, look at this river, it does not flow water. To the east of you is the Devil City, To the west is the desert, and the bravest Yarkand people dare not spend the night here. You surrender to me, leave your muskets and ammunition, and I will send you camels, food and water..." Zhaohui was always worried that Ma Guangzu and Liao Huaqing's troops would not be able to gather, and he could not get news of Hu Fugui. When he heard that he was safe in three places, he couldn't help being very relieved, and said with a smile: "I don't want your food and water, what I want is you Order—all Musketeers stand up!" he ordered suddenly.The musketeers lying in ambush on the top of the dune shouted "Zha", and more than a thousand people all stood up, all naked and wearing only shorts, with a murderous look and a long snake holding their guns, facing Huo Jizhan back. The army is eyeing.Looking at the condescending musketeers holding sharp weapons, Huo Jizhan's front army horses stirred uncomfortably for a while, and the whole brigade became uneasy.Huo Jizhan's face also changed color. He didn't expect the situation on the sand dunes to be like this, and he didn't expect Zhao Hui to turn his face suddenly. The horse retreated a little, and his guard cavalry immediately came up to cover, and dozens of muskets were aimed at Zhao Hui. "We will meet each other with respect before the battle now." Zhaohui smiled, "Why panic? I still have five thousand muskets in Hu Fugui's camp, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to take them." With a wave of his hand, he said, "Go back to the camp! "Huo Jizhan watched Zhaohui retreat, raised his hand and waved, the brigade retreated slowly, and began to set up a village about one mile away from the Heishui River - there is a beach here, waterlogged, as mentioned above, here also Needless to say.As soon as Zhaohui returned to the camp, Zhang Qun complained: "We are too close, what should he do if he wants to fire?" Zhaohui said with a smile: "This is a contest of status, not a confrontation of weapons. Who would stand in front of thousands of soldiers? When he fires, I fire and you fire, then you will be gangsters fighting in the street. I am tired today, not attacking but defending. It is cold here at night. Go to the river to bring some oil cubes to light up and keep warm. Now the top priority It is to secure the camp, and then find a way to communicate with the camp..." The two armies faced off again across the river.Zhaohui's army was exhausted, and Huo Ji accounted for more than 60,000 troops, of which more than 40,000 were in ambush in the sand dunes north of the Lele River. , the 10,000 vanguard troops who rushed here also looked like they were at the end of their battles, and the food had to be transported bit by bit from the Golden Rooster Fortress, so they didn't dare to act rashly. After the fierce battle all night, both sides had miscalculated, Zhao Hui Huo Jizhan's ambush was exposed early, Ma Guangzu and Liao Huaqing were able to withdraw calmly, the main lineup was no longer secret, and it was a well-matched situation, but Huo Jizhan was all cavalry, and the main force controlled the overall situation , and pressed the Qing army coach in the sand dunes to separate him from the camp.Had it not been for finding food and water in the sand, Zhaohui would have been in a desperate situation. Just as Zhaohui and Huo Jizhan were talking across the river, Ma Guangzu and Liao Huaqing had already led their troops back to the Heishuihe Camp.The three of them didn't even eat, and immediately discussed the rescue of Zhaohui.Hu Fugui listened to the two of them with a sullen face about the night battle in the camp.I don't know whether it was tears or fire in his eyes, his hands were clenched, he got up and turned around in the tent twice, then sat back silently, seeing Liao Huaqing still complaining: "He just passed six miles west of my camp, At that time, I called out, and the answer came back in half an hour, but you just gritted your teeth and refused to give an order! This—" Hu Fugui cut off his words, and said darkly: "It's useless to say such things at this time! How to fight? Can’t stop for a moment, I want to go up, there is no water.” "Old Hu, don't be impatient. I think Huo Ji is a very assertive person when occupying soldiers. After kicking his battalion, he withdrew. The Zhaojun gate leaned slightly towards my camp, and immediately surrounded him to attract him. Let's go, and catch up slowly." Ma Guangzu said: "Now we are desperate to attack, and his reserve army from the north is overwhelmed. It is not a trivial matter that the camp is shaken. The Zhaojunmen will not bring the army to the Jedi, he will We must move closer to the Wawa River. We might as well send two teams of thousands of people to the west to meet them and contact Zhaojunmen to make a final decision." He is now the master talisman general, so what he said is also reasonable.But when Liao and Hu compared each other, they realized that they were soft and worrying, and they were able to plan but not stop. It is good to be an assistant in the Chinese army, but it is not good to be the commander-two thousand people are fighting west, which is equivalent to trying to feed wolves with mutton .Liao Huaqing said: "At least 8,000 people are needed. Lao Hu's soldiers can be used, and those who come back can be replaced. I'll take them out and fight. If I can't contact you for three days, you will cut my head off, old horse!" Ma Guangzu said with a smile: " I only want Huo Jizhan's, what do I want your head for? I'm worried that the enemy's troops are in full swing, and they will lose their spirit if they fail to hit one blow." Hu Fugui said: "His soldiers have traveled hundreds of miles, and my soldiers have nothing to eat. Why can’t you fight when you’re full and drunk? No, I want to go in person!” "Okay then." Ma Guangzu said with a helpless smile, "Your 8,000 people will sleep this afternoon, bring twenty days of dry food, and 500 muskets. If you don't encounter a large group of enemies, you will easily use firearms. I will bring 6,000 people to Let the North fight for a while and harass his rear. If you encounter a strong enemy, then you will be the main force. You report back, or you can have a decisive battle or surround the enemy for reinforcements and then discuss it.” Once he returned to the affairs of the staff and staff, Ma Guangzu immediately became shrewd again. stand up.Hu Fugui jumped up and said, "I'll send an order to arrange it!" Ma Guangzu waited for the two of them to go out, and immediately sat down to make a draft of the memorial. If the current situation is not clear, if there is a slight mistake in the future, the three of them will be in trouble...
