Chapter 233 233. Natural chasm

"Is the military advisor prepared for this?"

Luo Hong only saw a faint smile, "Of course, I never fight an unprepared battle, right? If it were Prince Ding who came today, this plan might be seen through, but if it were the Ninth Prince who was so happy with his success, it wouldn't be enough. Consider it."

Standing tall and tall, he is also wearing the unique clothing of Beidi people.

He has been in Beidi for several years. Although he has tanned a lot and is much stronger, he is still a southerner at heart, full of scheming, and not as upright and open-minded as the Beidi people.

However, thanks to his strategy, Di Rong grew to this day and unified the grasslands, something that none of their ancestors had ever accomplished.

That's why I believed his words and stayed here for nearly two months without attacking.

God knows how much effort he spent just to suppress the tribal leaders who were dissatisfied with the siege. Now that the war is about to begin, all the tribes are eager to try. Who would have thought that the five thousand forwards sent out were just broken at the foot of Liangzhou City, and only a few of them escaped back. They no longer have the ability to fight.

How could he sit still in such a situation?

Seeing King Kodak's eagerness, Luo Hong secretly cursed mediocrity in his heart.

But he had no choice but to appear here with a suitable identity, so he could only assist King Koda and use Beidi's troops to help him expand his territory.

After Dajin City was breached, he would naturally have a way to replace it.

At that time, the army that is completely loyal to him can fight against King Ding's army. He has not forgotten the grudges he had with King Ding over the years.

He felt happy when he thought that his great revenge was about to be avenged and that all these years of hiding in Tibet could finally come to an end.

But at times like this, he couldn't afford to be careless, so he said to King Kodak again.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Now we just wait for the reinforcements to come, and cooperate with each other from the inside out. This Liangzhou City will be destroyed before dawn!"

Luo Hong spoke firmly, which aroused the bloodthirsty mood of King Koda, and said greedily in the direction of Liangzhou, "Okay, then all the treasures, beauties, food and cloth in Liangzhou will be ours." It’s from Beidi.”

Several of King Koda's followers in the tent were also very excited after hearing this.

The night became darker and darker, and everything was silent.

After a whole day of fighting, the city defenders were very tired, but they did not dare to be negligent in taking turns to change the guard. No one knew when Beidi would come again. If they didn't watch carefully, I'm afraid everyone would come to the city. They didn't react until they were in a corner.

In the armory in the city, He Qiu was counting the number of crossbow arrows.

Archers took turns going into battle all day long. Although they effectively stopped the Beidi people's attack, they only had less than a thousand crossbows left.

A thousand of them might not be able to sustain even one attack. If they don't have crossbows in hand, they might not be able to stop the Beidi people's cavalry. They grew up on horses. No matter how well they raised their horses, they were also quick to dodge. If the bow and arrow were broken, the Beidi people would be able to rush to the city wall very quickly.

The walls of Liangzhou City are made of soil mixed with glutinous rice. They are strong and durable, but they are also afraid of water.

Considering that Beidi might use water attack methods to make their city walls soaked and useless, Xiao Ji had already sent people to secretly apply waterproof paint, which might be able to resist.

Xiao Ji looked at the mottled night sky, and his uneasiness became more and more obvious.

I don’t know if the soldier who sent the message can bring back reinforcements, let alone when the reinforcements will arrive.

Dozens of miles away, Xiao Muqian was speeding toward Liangzhou City with 50,000 Jeju troops.

The whistling wind blew onto his face along with bits of sand. After feeling the rough texture, Xiao Muqian gradually felt at ease.

Liangzhou City is a typical arid city. There are only a few wells in the city for the use of city residents, so it is normal for the wind to be filled with sand and mud. The more obvious and sharp the touch, the closer it is to Liangzhou.

He is used to it, but that does not mean that the Jeju soldiers behind him are also used to it.

After all, they were training in the Central Plains, and the climate conditions were much better than those in the northwest.

The cavalry was in front and the infantry was behind. The gravel rolled up wherever they went confused many soldiers, so the march gradually slowed down.

The night is charming. It’s not too cold in the northwest in March, but the wind blowing at night still makes people want to pull up their clothes.

"General, it's really difficult to travel at night. Could you please let everyone rest where they are for an hour before we can leave again?"

The proposal was made by Lieutenant Cheng of the Jeju Army. He was over forty years old. He was a decent and courageous man and was highly respected in the army.

"The situation in Liangzhou City is critical. If you delay for one more hour, the danger may increase. I understand what Captain Cheng means, but this is really not a good time to rest!"

Xiao Muqian refused, but the speed of riding the horse slowed down slightly.

He turned around and looked at the exhausted Jeju Army behind him, feeling really resentful of Emperor Qi's arrangement.

The Central Plains Army is different from the Northwest Army. Without the experience of the wind and sand in the border towns, they seem a bit squeamish in comparison.

If it were the city defenders under the second uncle's command, they would have to march in a hurry for three days and three nights.

In the darkness, several of the infantrymen who couldn't see the road clearly fell down accidentally, and then fell all over again. They were all panting and unwilling to get up once they stopped.

Xiao Muqian frowned and was about to say something when he was stopped by the deputy general next to him.

The deputy general had been with General Su for many years, his surname was Zhen, and he had the most calm temperament. General Su had specially arranged for him to follow Xiao Muqian, in order to remind him not to be impatient.

General Su has also spent time in the northwest and the Central Plains, and knows a lot about the soldiers in both places. Vice General Zhen has followed him for many years, so he naturally has some tricks up his sleeve.

"General, we have been on the road for a long time, and we have indeed reached our limit. How about we let the army slow down here first, and how about we explore the road with you first?"

Both sides stepped down. Vice General Zhen was General Su’s confidant, so he couldn’t directly refute it, so he said.

"Then rest for a while and set off immediately when we come back from exploring the road!"

"yes!"

After receiving the order to rest, the men and horses of the Jeju Army could finally stop for a while.

On the contrary, the three captains sent by King Ding were quite disdainful, and one of them was very slanderous in his heart.

This idea is not enough to stop the Jeongwang army, but the Jeju army is really of no use.

I don’t know if the 200,000-strong army can defeat the 20,000-strong King Ding’s army!

There was contempt in their eyes, but they did not rest at all. The three men led the team and dispersed around as a warning.

Ahead, Xiao Muqian and Deputy General Zhen rode their horses and whipped their whips, and soon arrived at the bank of Lanshui River.

At night, the river was very calm. The moon was projected on it, making the water sparkling.

Liangzhou and Ganzhou are separated by hundreds of miles, but they are divided into two places by this river.
