The Elegance of the Emperor: The Little Wife of the Wolf King

Chapter 45
On the vast Gobi Desert, yellow sand is everywhere, and there is no end in sight.On this road from the dog army to the gangeng, you can often see horses and camels on weekdays. Now the two armies are facing each other. Occasionally, a small group of cavalry will pass by quickly, and then it will fall into a dead silence. The sound filled the Gobi Desert.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and a large group of cavalry moved quickly, and the sky was covered with dust.

"General, where are we going?" A lieutenant beside Aguda asked loudly.

"Don't ask too many questions, pass down the order and pay attention to vigilance, there are often small groups of enemy cavalry in this area!" Agudamu galloped on his horse, but did not answer the lieutenant general's question.

Turning over a sand dune, you can see a silver belt of water flowing thinly in the vast desert. Under the sunlight, it shines like a golden belt, winding slowly into the distance. .There are tall and low bushes on both sides of the river. Even though spring has just started, a little bit of new green has emerged. The strong branches stretch straight to the sky, like the patron saint of the river, standing firmly on both sides of the river, like brave warrior.

Agudam took the lead, rushed down the sand dune, and came to the small river.The clear river gurgles into the distance, and the sound of the ding-dong of the flowing water is as shocking as music.Water in the Gobi is life. The soldiers got off their horses one after another, scooped up a handful of river water, and drank it happily.

The small animals by the river, scared by the sudden arrival of the horse team, got into the bushes, poked their heads out from time to time, and then quickly hid back in the bushes.

"Set up camp on the top of the sand dunes!" Agudam ordered.

"General, why don't we set up camp here?" Lieutenant Enhe looked at Agudam in surprise.

"Don't ask! Listen to the order and quickly set up camp!" Agudam squatted by the small river, fiddled with the clear water with his hands.

"Oh, yes!" Lieutenant General Enhe responded, commanding the army to set up camp here.

Agudam sat by the river, listening to the gurgling of the river, and staring at the river flowing into the distance.

Although this small river is not big, it flows through the Xiwandan tribe, passes through the Li tribe, winds its way to the distance, merges into the big river ahead, and flows all the way to the prairie controlled by the Gangeng tribe.

This time, Wanyanhu marched into Quanrong, going all the way up along this small river, capturing several tribes of Quanrong one after another, and then captured the Li tribe and Xiwandan tribe upwards, and then he could approach Rongcheng.The climate in the desert is dry, the rivers are rare, and the water source is scarce. The tribes of Quanrong are basically in the oasis near the water source.

Wanyanhu has already made a detailed investigation, and this road is the most convenient one, because if the water problem cannot be solved, how can we march and fight?People can go without food for a few days, but they cannot go without water for a day.

Agudamu was sent out by Yeluheng this time to carry out a secret mission, to give Wanyanhu a bottom line, cut off the water source, and let him retreat without a fight.

"Report to the general, the camp has been set up!" Enhe came over panting to report.

"Okay, go back to the big tent!" Aguda stood up neatly, patted the sand on his body, and walked towards the tent with a whip.

When Agudam came to the camp, he saw that several lieutenants were already waiting in the tent.

"This time, the task assigned to us by the Great Khan is to block the river no matter what, and prevent the river from flowing downstream." Agudam briefly introduced the task.

The lieutenants talked for a while.

"Khan, what is this? Now is the time when the two armies are fighting, how can we let us block the river?"
"Yes! If the river is blocked, what will happen to the tribes below the river?"
"How can the river be blocked? The river keeps flowing, how can it be blocked?"
"Yeah, are we going to dig a big pond here?"
……

"Cough, cough, cough!" Agudam coughed a few times, and the discussion below gradually died down, "Everyone has a lot of questions, and I have a lot of questions, but what the sweat gave was a deadly order: block the river, and don't let the enemy The army took a ladle of water from here. If it fails, Da Khan will take my head. If I can't keep my head, you can't keep yours either." Agudamu paused, and glanced at the lieutenants, " Not to block a river, but the Great Khan sent us a vanguard battalion with 5000 troops, which shows that the mission is very important. I hope everyone will work together to successfully complete the mission."
"Yes!" All the lieutenants said in unison, with momentum like a rainbow.

"Okay, I'm going to issue the mission now." Agudam looked like a general, and arranged things in an orderly manner, which made his subordinates dumbfounded. When did their general become so good at planning?

Camp of the Chief of the Inurong Army
Yeluheng, Zhabusu, Xiao Jinqi, and Hu Yanping pointed back and forth in front of the map, discussing the current situation of the two armies.

"Once the water source is cut off, Wanyanhu will definitely send troops to check and try to regain control of the water source. The pressure on Agudam will be great. We need to set up ambushes here and here to intercept Wanyanhu to find the water source Without water, within seven days, Wanyanhu will definitely retreat." Yeluheng drew two circles with his finger on the map and said confidently.

"Wanyanhu uses his troops cunningly. In order to find the water source as soon as possible, he may attack with all his strength, break through the defense line, and enter the hinterland of the dog army to alleviate the crisis of the water source. Therefore, the pressure on the front line of defense will definitely be great. We must be fully prepared "Zha Busu frowned, and said slowly, he had fought Wanyanhu several times, and knew that Wanyanhu used soldiers to hide and disappear, and he would be fooled if he was not careful.

"Oh, that's it! Cut off the water source here, and you can find other water sources. I don't think it will be of much use." Although Xiao Jinqi recognized Murong Jing's ability, he still didn't believe that just cutting off the water source would make the whole family happy. Yanhu retreated on his own initiative, could things really be that simple?

"Wanyanhu's Tiger Roaring Battalion, everyone counts as ten. The cavalry and horses are protected by iron armor. Whether it is charging or setting up the formation, they cooperate very skillfully and tacitly. There is no flaw at all. Our swords and guns can't hurt them at all, and they But it can easily kill our soldiers. The last time the Tiger Roaring Battalion only had half of their troops, we managed to hold them back, but the casualties were heavy. This time, if Wanyanhu suppresses all the Tiger Roaring Battalion, I can’t guarantee it It can hold them back. Our defense line may not be able to hold it!" Hu Yanping said earnestly, with an unnatural expression on his face.

"Is his Tiger Roaring Camp so powerful?" Xiao Jinqi looked at Yeluheng in disbelief.

"It's really powerful. Their armor is too hard, and there's nowhere to strike with a sword. Only Zhabusu and I can barely kill a soldier from the Tiger Roaring Battalion, let alone an ordinary soldier!" Yeluheng said. He also had lingering fears since he was almost buried in the attack of the Tiger Roar Camp last time.

"So, if you want to hold the line of defense, you can only outwit it, not be invincible!" Zabusu sighed.

Wanyanhu sent out troops on such a large scale because he had made sufficient preparations.He has always been cautious in his actions, especially on the battlefield. He has keen observation and quick thinking. He can accurately judge the situation of the enemy and us on the battlefield and respond quickly. Not everyone can do this insight alone. of.
