Zhang Xiong felt a little guilty. If he could have discovered earlier that the envoy was being hunted by barbarians, if he could have gone out to rescue him earlier, maybe this courageous person could have hidden it from thousands of people without knowing it.

With thousands of pairs of barbarian eyes, the envoy who quietly approached the new city without being discovered would not have to die!

The military envoy didn't care at all that he was about to die. He tried his best to hold his head high and said to Bei Gongjing with all his strength: "Your Majesty is the military envoy of Colonel Qian Duan of Hu Bu. I have important military information to tell you."

General reports!"

Bei Gongjing said: "You say it and I listen."

The military envoy took a few breaths, tried to make his breathing steady, and said with great difficulty: "Qian Xiaowei, under the order of the Taiwei, led five thousand troops and several recruits, totaling nearly ten thousand people, this morning.

Go out from the west gate and go straight to Yiyang..."

Before Bei Gongjing spoke, Li Rui frowned and shouted: "He went to attack Yiyang? Are you kidding me? The main force of the Hu people is obviously here, so we need his support even more!"

"

The military envoy gave a wry smile and said, "Qian Xiaowei thought so too, but the Taiwei said that Yiyang was the gateway to Luo Jing and was related to Luo Jing's life and death. He asked Qian Xiaowei to take it back at all costs. Qian Xiaowei was helpless.

You can only follow orders."

When Li Rui heard this, he became even more angry and opened his mouth to curse. Bei Gongjing reacted very quickly and flew over with a swish of an eye knife: "Shut up!"

Li Rui had no choice but to shut up and sulked away with a puffed face.

The military envoy gasped and said: "Qian Xiaowei asked Piao to come down and tell the Major General that he will attack Yiyang with all his strength and do his best to force the Hulu to divide their troops to rescue Yiyang. Major General, you must be prepared. Once the Hulu troops divide their troops, you will immediately

Break through to Luoyang! Don't think about holding on to the strategic points outside the city, there is no point in doing so, and the towns outside the city are destined to be unable to be defended!"

At this point, his pale face showed an expression of infinite sadness, he vomited a large mouthful of blood, and passed out.

Bei Gongjing shouted: "Li Rui, hurry up and save him!" These days, Li Rui used his homemade liquor to clean the wounds of the wounded soldiers, which had a very good effect. The wounds of most of the wounded soldiers were no longer infected.

Symptoms of pus, which means that most of them can survive. This is something that no one has ever done. In everyone's eyes, he has become a miracle doctor. Seeing the military envoy vomiting blood and falling into coma, Beigong

Jing's first reaction was to let Li Rui take a look, maybe he could do something about it.

Li Rui reached out to test the military envoy's breath and found that he had stopped breathing. He shook his head helplessly: "He...has been sacrificed."

Bei Gongjing bit her lip and said, "Someone, please carry him down, clean his body, change into clean clothes, and bury him decently."

Several sergeants entered in response and carried the general's body out.

Bei Gongjing said again: "Zhang Xiong, summon all the Quhous to the Zhongjun tent to discuss the military situation!"

Zhang Xiong cupped his fists and said, "Here!" He strode out quickly.

Not long after, more than a dozen famous Quhous arrived one after another. Bei Gongjing didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. She directly asked Sima, who was in charge of the army's money and food: "How much food and grass are there in the army?"

Sima said: "According to the current expenditure, the army's food is only enough for seven days, and the horse's food is only enough for ten days."

More than a dozen Qu Hous frowned, but did not show any surprise. It seemed that they were all aware of the fact that there was not much food and grass in Xincheng.

Bei Gongjing said: "In other words, in ten days at most, we will have to make a choice between breaking out and killing horses for meat?"

Sima nodded: "That's right."

As soon as the word "kill a horse" was heard, the muscles on the faces of all the Quhous twitched violently. There is no man who fights on the battlefield who does not like war horses, especially Liang, who is proud of being good at riding horses.

State men, war horses are half their lives, and asking them to kill horses is equivalent to taking half of their lives.

Bei Gongjing nodded, indicating that he knew what he was thinking, and asked Sima to sit down. Then he looked around at everyone and said, "Have you all seen it? The city is dilapidated and the food and grass are about to be exhausted. Staying here will only lead to death! I want to ask for a way out.

, we can only fight to the death and fight our way out!"

All the Quhous said proudly: "What the Major General said makes sense! Rather than being surrounded by barbarians and finally dying of hunger and cold, it is better to fight to the death!"

"We men from Liangzhou have never thought that we will die of old age and sick in bed. Even if we die, we must die vigorously!"

"Major General, please give me the order. I am willing to be the vanguard and plunge directly into the enemy's formation. Even if I cannot behead the enemy general, I will still splatter him with blood!"

Li Rui quietly observed these Quhous and saw that none of them showed panic or depression when they heard that the city was running out of food and grass. On the contrary, they were all high-spirited, as if the impending food shortage was not a very important matter, at least.

It was not as important as them fighting the enemy with a bloody river. He couldn't help but sigh to himself: They are indeed elite soldiers tempered in two or three hundred years of war. They are all highly skilled in martial arts, brave and brave, and they have to worry about life and death.

Seeing them so indifferently, fighting them is really a nightmare!

Thanks to Yong, Liangzhou is sparsely populated and close to Chang'an, an important town in the world. The local warlords will be killed if they make any changes. Otherwise, the tiger and wolf divisions coming out of here will definitely become a very important force fighting for the world!

Bei Gongjing raised his hand, and all the Quhous stopped and waited for the military order.

Beigong looked at Zhang Xiongjing and said: "Zhang Quhou, you will lead five hundred cavalry tomorrow. Get up at midnight to have a meal. Then set out from the west gate and launch an attack on the enemy camp at four o'clock. You must disrupt the enemy's western camp.

The world is turned upside down, we will retreat as soon as daybreak, and we must not be reluctant to fight!"

Zhang Xiong frowned and said, "Young General, I have something that I don't understand!"

Bei Gongjing said: "You say."

Zhang Xiong said: "A night attack is a night attack. An attack launched at night is called a night attack! Since it is a night attack, why wait until the middle of the night to start? At this time, the weather will soon become chaotic. Even if it disrupts the enemy camp, it will not be enough.

It’s hard to achieve greater results!”

Bei Gongjing said: "Because I don't expect to defeat them with night attacks. What you have to do is to go on a killing spree in the West Camp, kill as many enemy troops as possible, anger the enemy troops, and withdraw as soon as daybreak."

, I will lead the main force of the infantry to form a formation outside the city to meet you, and we will fight the enemy to the death below the city!"

Zhang Xiong became more and more confused: "Since there is a decisive battle, why don't we use the whole army to cover up the enemy in the middle of the night, and wait until dawn for the decisive battle? As soon as the day breaks, our army's inferiority in military strength will be exposed!"

If it were anyone else who questioned his orders over and over again, Bei Gongjing would have had someone drag him out, and even if he wasn't beheaded, he would still be given a military stick. But Zhang Xiong is different. Zhang Xiong is eight years older than Bei Gongjing.

, Accompanying Bei Gongjing to grow up little by little, in Bei Gongjing's eyes, he is his brother. If his brother doesn't understand anything, just tell him clearly: "Last year, our army relied on night attacks to win.

After killing the enemy general Hu Yanhao, the enemy may have been wary of our army's night attack tactics. If he leads the main force to launch a night attack like last year, he may fall into the enemy's trap. Not only will he not be able to win, but he will also

The entire army will be wiped out."

Zhang Xiong wanted to say that if we didn't attack at night, the three thousand of us would still be wiped out if we pulled out the city to fight the enemy. Why not take advantage of the night battle and take a gamble? But he didn't say it out loud. He was Beigong.

The confidant of the family is right, but no matter how good the relationship is, we cannot endlessly question Bei Gongjing's orders. Even if Bei Gongjing does not get angry, such endless questioning will damage Bei Gongjing's prestige.

, which is very unfavorable to Bei Gongjing. As a general, it is not possible to decide all matters big and small with one word, but every time an order is issued, there are a lot of people talking about it and questioning it endlessly. That is even worse. In this way,

, this general has no prestige at all, and a general without prestige cannot command a war.

Bei Gongjing asked Sima: "How many tanks does our army currently have?"

Sima said: "Our army originally had ninety-two chariots. After entering the new city, we found 117 more in the armory. At present, our army has a total of 209 chariots!"

Bei Gongjing asked: "How many ballistas are there?"

Sima said: "There are twenty-six vehicles, each of which can fire three sharp arrows at the same time."

Bei Gongjing said: "Use them all tomorrow to form a vehicle formation outside the west gate to meet the enemy!"

Sima cupped his fists and responded: "Here!"

Bei Gongjing looked around at everyone with cold eyes and said: "At the fourth watch tonight, the main force of the entire army quietly left the city to form an array at the west gate. Only two hundred people were left to guard each of the east, south and north gates. All gates were used.

Stone strips and earth bags were stuffed to prevent the enemy from taking advantage! Do you understand?"

All the Quhous shouted in unison: "Understood!"

Bei Gongjing said: "Go down and get ready. Li Rui, Zhang Xiong, you stay!"

All the Quhous responded, stood up proudly, and returned to their respective camps to prepare.

After everyone had left, Bei Gongjing said to Zhang Xiong: "Go and take out all the captured horse stirrups and give them to the cavalry!"

Zhang Xiong was puzzled: "Major General, our horses are not short of stirrups, why..."

Bei Gongjing said: "One-sided stirrups only solve the problem of mounting and dismounting, but double-sided stirrups can double the cavalry's combat power... Just try it and you will understand."

Zhang Xiong really didn't believe that the small stirrups had such a big effect, so he went down with full doubts.

After he went down, he actually found a few horses and tried riding them with double stirrups...

Then I discovered a new world and was out of control.

After Zhang Xiong left, Li Rui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "Why don't you tell them that we will use incendiary bombs and powder cans to crush our opponents?"

Bei Gongjing asked: "Why should you tell them?"

Li Rui said: "This way they will have more confidence!"

Bei Gongjing laughed dumbly: "Li Rui, you really don't know anything about the use of troops... Remember, you never know how many people under you are racking their brains to find opportunities to borrow your head.
