Chapter 653
At this time in Julan City, fifty thousand troops of the Huns gathered, King Guli of the Huns was the commander in chief, but at this moment he didn't know that he had become a solitary army.
"Snapped!"
A silver bowl was thrown out by King Guli, and he cursed loudly: "Tina, why hasn't the food arrived yet? The person we sent to urge us to ask questions has not received any reply. There are only a few days left in the army." The rations are gone, why haven’t they been delivered, if Ti Na delays the army’s rations, I will cut off his head.”
"Da da da da~"
A war horse galloped quickly from a distance, and when it arrived at the big tent, a guard wanted to stop it, and the man shouted loudly: "Urgent information ahead."
As he spoke, he rushed into the big tent.
Seeing King Guli and several generals in the tent, the scout soldier knelt on one knee and said, "Report to Your Majesty, urgent information ahead."
King Guli frowned and said, "Say!"
"There is an army of tens of thousands of people coming from the direction of Suye City. There are about tens of thousands of people. They are flying the banner of the king of the Western Regions with the word 'Jiang'. It is only about 30 miles away from Julan City."
King Guli was startled when he heard this, his expression changed, and he said, "The king of the Western Regions has a banner with the word 'Jiang'. Could it be Jiang Hao? Tens of thousands of troops appeared behind us!"
"Not good!" King Guli yelled, and he suddenly realized that what happened in Suye City was most likely done by Jiang Hao, and that something bad happened to Ti Na and the others, and the food and grass were delayed. I'm afraid that's what the other party said.
He immediately thought of a more terrifying thing, that is, whether Gongyue City could be saved or not, if both cities were destroyed by Jiang Hao, then he would have no way out.
Thirty miles,
For the cavalry, it was only an hour's distance. The Xiwang army chose a place with higher terrain to set up camp about ten miles away from the Huns.
not moving.
Set up tents, set up roadblocks to resist horse positions, and look like they want to be stationed for a long time to fight positional warfare.
But King Guli felt great pressure. Originally, he was suppressed by a large army, suppressing Wusun to fight, but now in a blink of an eye, he was flanked by two large armies. One important problem is that his food and grass are almost gone.
King Guli kicked over the table angrily, and the cups and plates rolled all over the floor, "It must be that Jiang Hao, he made a plan and cut off our food supply, he is really a sinister guy."
"My lord, we only have enough food for three to five days, we need to make a decision early." One of the generals said.
"Do you think I don't know, but what to do? They won the Wusun people in the first battle. They have blocked us for so long. How can they be so easy to fight? To counterattack the coalition forces of the Western Regions, that Jiang Hao is not easy to deal with, maybe he can dig it out." The pit is waiting for us ahead."
"But we can't afford it, Your Majesty!" the subordinate said.
King Guli glared at this subordinate angrily, "Is it necessary for you to say it? It's useless to say it. You guys have given me some useful ideas."
At this time, one of his subordinates said, "Your Majesty, why don't we take a detour and retreat, the food road is broken, we must not be able to continue the fight, and we will be blocked back and forth, but there is not only one road in Wusun, we only need to loot a few along the way. As a small country, there will always be no shortage of food and grass, as long as we return to the prairie, everything will be easy to talk about, and they dare not chase us to the prairie."
King Guli's face was still very ugly, "We prepared for a year, fought for half a year, lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and finally came back in a big defeat. How can I explain to Da Shanyu when I go back?"
"Your Majesty, as long as we can go back now, we will be victorious." Da Dahu persuaded.
It's good to be able to run when the front and rear troops are attacking, what more bicycles are needed.
King Guli was also a decisive person, he immediately ordered to rectify the troops and prepare to retreat tomorrow, the movement of the Huns was so big, the army scouts naturally found out about this situation.
"Looking at the posture, it's not about desperately, but about running. It seems that King Guli is also very shrewd, so he made a decisive decision." Jiang Hao said.
Open the map and Jiang Hao looks carefully.
The Wusun people are in the front, I am in the back, and the Western Regions are in the south. The Huns will definitely not go to their own territory. You can go back to the Huns from the north.
Jiang Hao also made a decisive decision, "Notify Wusun immediately that the two armies will attack at the same time. If they can fight, they will fight. If they can't fight, they will force the Huns away. Even if he is allowed to escape, he will not be allowed to go safely and bring all the equipment. "
"promise!"
In the summer, it was dark in the Western Regions, and the sky was still bright at Youshi. The Wusun army suddenly rushed out of the barracks. A total of 30,000 troops rushed towards the Huns. The posture of the final battle.
At this time, the Huns had just finished reorganizing the army, and some were still making fire for dinner, preparing to retreat tomorrow. Who would have thought that the enemy army would suddenly dispatch a large army at this time.
When King Guli heard that both sides were dispatching troops at the same time, he was so frightened that he immediately ordered his men and horses to mount their horses and retreat. Before the tents, pots and stoves and even many military equipment could be cleaned up, he rode his horses and retreated to the north.
Rumble!
When Wusun and the allied forces of the Western Regions arrived at the Huns' camp, the Huns had already gone to the camp and their tents were empty.
Jiang Hao chuckled and ran quite fast.
Looking at the cooking stove that was still smoking, Jiang Hao said with a smile, "I'm afraid the Huns will be hungry tonight."
The leader of Wusun's army is Weng Huixu, the prince of Wusun. When the two armies met, Weng Huixu immediately came to see Jiang Hao, "Weng Huixu paid homage to King Xi, and thanked King Xi for helping us drive away the Huns and relieve Wusun's danger. "
Jiang Hao looked at Weng Huixu. He was in his thirties and looked good. It is said that this guy has the blood of the great Han Princess Xijun. Princess Xijun is also a famous figure in the history of the Han Dynasty. Although more than a hundred years have passed, the legend of Princess Xijun is still circulating in Wusun, and she has left a group of children.
"Is it okay to drive away? Don't you want to leave King Guli in the Western Regions? Only by knocking out the teeth of the Huns and breaking their horses' legs will they dare not attack again." Jiang Hao said.
"Ah~~ King Xi is going to pursue King Guli?" Weng Huixu asked in surprise.
"Of course, you gather 30,000 people and follow me to pursue King Guli. They have no food, grass, or supplies. As long as we follow behind, they can only run away like stray dogs. I want to starve them to death! They!" Jiang Hao said coldly.
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Weng Huixu was excited for no reason, and immediately said: "Follow the order of the King of the West."
The Western Regions Alliance has been established. Now Jiang Hao is the leader of the Western Regions Alliance, and Wusun is also a member of the Western Regions Alliance. Jiang Hao's direct order is absolutely correct.
run,
Run endlessly.
The 50,000-strong army ran all the way north.
Don't mention how aggrieved King Guli was, why was he frightened by the opponent at that time, and ran out without taking anything. Now his army doesn't even have a grain of food, no cows and sheep, and they return to Dali from here. There are still thousands of miles to go in the grassland, what do they want to eat.
"Report, Your Majesty, send a message from the rear."
"Say!" King Guli said angrily.
"The Allied Forces of the Western Regions are chasing us closely, and the number is about 60,000 to 80,000." The subordinate reported.
"Damn people from the Western Regions, damn Jiang Hao, why are you chasing after him like a wolf." King Guli cursed, and ordered the officer next to him: "Don't stop, keep running at a faster speed, and you can drive at least 50 miles before you can stop. .”
Running until Haishi, the geniuses in the Western Regions were completely darkened, and they couldn't see the road clearly. The two sides were separated by forty or fifty miles. The Huns stopped running, and Jiang Hao and the others stopped chasing them.
The Xiongnu soldiers got off their horses and rested, and their stomachs were empty at the moment. Unlike Jiang Hao and the others, the Huns carried compressed biscuits with them at all times, and could eat a piece to satisfy their hunger when they were hungry. They usually cooked with grain and meat, but now they have no grain and no meat. He didn't have any weapons on his body, and his hungry eyes were shining like stars twinkling in the sky.
Jiang Hao looked at the stars in the sky, drank hot porridge and gnawed dried meat. The night sky in the Western Regions in summer was really beautiful. The stars covered the entire sky, shining like gems.
so,
In different environments, the mood of appreciating the scenery is different.
Weng Huixu sat next to Jiang Hao, also eating hot porridge, but what he ate was compressed biscuits, which Jiang Hao gave him.
The Wusun people came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring any supplies. What they were eating now was Jiang Hao's supplies. Fortunately, Jiang Hao's troops had three horses, and they had enough food for one person for two months, and they could also support Wusun. Sun group of people.
Weng Huixu ate compressed biscuits for the first time, and he ate them with relish, "Your Highness, this ration is really convenient, you can eat it directly, and the taste is pretty good."
Jiang Hao curled his lips in his heart, you will know if you eat too much, it was okay at first, crispy and delicious, like cakes from the Western Regions, but after eating too much, he would rather eat jerky now, and he would not eat it unless it was a last resort Eat compressed biscuits.
"This thing is really good. You can eat a piece of it. It's not afraid of blisters. It won't disperse after being soaked in water for a day. Even if it is rained and accidentally dropped into the water, you can still eat it after picking it up and drying it. A soldier himself You can bring dry food for a month without any supplies." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"Really, that's really a must-have dry ration for marching." Weng Hui praised.
Jiang Hao patted this guy on the shoulder, "How about letting all your soldiers eat compressed biscuits during this time? Let's just eat jerky."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Your Highness." Weng Huixu said happily.
Jiang Hao smiled in his heart, probably his soldiers would be happier, they had had enough.
The Allied Forces of the Western Regions discussed whether the food was good or not, while the Huns were worried about not being able to eat.
Fifty thousand troops without a grain of food, this is a very serious problem.
"Is there any hunting place around?" asked a wealthy family member.
"How could it be possible? If we have such a large group of people, the prey will be scared away. Besides, even if we kill a few prey, who will eat them? What will we eat tomorrow?" a captain said dejectedly.
King Guli looked at this guy angrily, and said: "If it doesn't work, kill the horse. Don't we have a few thousand more horses? If you kill the horse to eat meat, you must stick to it. As long as you find a small country, you will naturally have it." It's time to eat."
Killing horses is definitely a helpless move, and it can also be said to be the last means of life-saving for the Huns, and now they have to use it.
Thousands of horses were killed, the horse meat was separated, and firewood was found to light a bonfire, and it was simply roasted before it began to eat.
They have fifty thousand people, and one thousand horses can feed fifty thousand people for less than two days. Even if they kill all the extra horses, they can only feed them for six or seven days.
King Guli decided to continue running, hurry up and return to the prairie early.
Beside the fire, Jiang Hao took out the maps of the Western Regions and the Huns and looked at them, looking a little dazed. In fact, he was thinking about the maps he had seen in modern time and space in his mind. Those are naturally more detailed, but there is also a bigger problem, that is, after thousands of years Changes, times have changed, and many places have changed a lot.
Queen Dina came over in a light casual dress, her hair was tied up, she was quite heroic, and she handed Jiang Hao a bowl of milk tea.
"Lang Jun, let's drink a bowl of tea."
Jiang Hao saw Dina, took the milk tea with a smile, and put the map beside him.
Dina sat next to her, looking at the detailed map, "This is the map drawn by Mr. Lang himself, but the mountains, rivers, lakes and waves are all marked, so detailed. What is Mr. Lang thinking about when looking at the map?"
Jiang Hao took a sip of milk tea and said, "I'll think about where to destroy King Guli's 50,000 troops."
