Zhao Ziliang rode his ulama back and forth in front of the military formation.
Although the morale of the soldiers was low, Zhao Ziliang's prestige and illustrious military exploits in the army were unmatched by ordinary people.
Therefore, even under such low morale, the soldiers were still able to It is good to follow the order, find your own team and stand in good formation.
Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied and gratified.
He did not bring these soldiers out personally.
It was commendable that they could hold on until now and not collapse.
He also knew that he had his own reasons.
At the same time, these Shenwu Army soldiers also came from close borders, experienced war, and knew how to obey.
Military discipline means that you cannot leave the brigade at this time.
If you leave the brigade, you may not be able to leave here alive.
"Soldiers, I believe you already know that there are enemy spies in the army.
There are four spies in total.
After investigation, we already know that there are four of them.
Regarding these four spies, we will inform Yizhou when we arrive.
The governor's office issued an official arrest warrant to hunt them down."
"This general knows what the soldiers are most concerned about right now, which is food, grass and drinking water, and whether we can get out of the eight hundred miles of Moheyan Moraine.
Yes, 90% of the food and grass we brought has been set on fire by spies.
Drinking water Ninety percent of it has also been dumped.
Our current food and drinking water can only barely support three people.
God, but don't worry, soldiers.
This general has long expected that something unexpected will happen in the eight hundred miles of Mohe Yanqi.
Therefore, he has already sent people to set up supply points in the depths of the desert under the guidance of guides. , as long as we rush to the supply point within two days, we can get enough food, grass and drinking water."
Some people didn't believe it, and a loud voice came from the team: "General, are you lying to us?"
"This general is a good man who is upright and upright.
What's the point of deceiving you by spitting and nailing each other?"
Zhao Ziliang was furious, and turned around and shouted: "Where is the guide?"
Following Zhao Ziliang's shout, the guide trotted over: "The villain is here, General, the villain is here."
"Okay."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to the guide: "Come and tell the soldiers about the supply point."
"Yes, General," the guide agreed, and said to all the soldiers: "More than a month ago, the general sent someone to find the villain and said that a supply point was to be set up deep in the Moheyan Moraine to prevent the loss of food, grass and food in unexpected events or big storms.
Drink water so that we can get enough supplies to survive the crisis at critical moments , now we are at a critical moment of life and death.
The general's foresight has not been in vain and has finally worked.
Now we are still two days away from the nearest supply point.
As long as we arrive at the nearest supply point in time, we can get enough food and grass.
Walk out of this eight-hundred-mile Mohe Yanqi with drinking water.”
Hearing that Zhao Ziliang had already sent people to set up supply points deep in the desert, the soldiers' originally depressed situation immediately changed, and each of them quickly became excited.
Zhao Ziliang saw that the effect was very good, and the soldiers' lost fighting spirit came back.
He immediately said loudly: "Okay, there are still two hours until Yinshi.
Everyone will return to the camp and continue to rest.
After two hours, we will Break camp immediately and head to the nearest supply point."
All the soldiers in the army stood up excitedly and agreed: "I obey" Two days later, the soldiers of the Tang Army dragged their exhausted bodies and trudged forward in the scorching sun.
They had been without water and food for half a day.
In such hot weather, not eating might not be a big deal, but not having water to drink could kill people.
Everyone's lips were sore.
They were all dry and cracked, and each one of them weakly stepped on the sand, holding their weapons and walking slowly forward.

When the army climbed up a sand dune, the guide set up a pergola to observe the front.
Suddenly he shouted: "General, general, we are here, we are here, we have water to drink and food."
In fact, the Tang army did not lack food.
After all, they had previously captured a large number of horses from the bandits.
They could eat meat by killing the horses, but the most terrible thing was not having water to drink.
The horses' blood was too dry and they would become thirstier after drinking.
Now that the army finally arrived at the supply point, the soldiers of the Tang Army saw several tents one mile below the sand dune.
In an instant, everyone was shouting with excitement and prepared to rush to the supply point.
Zhao Ziliang immediately yelled: "No one is allowed to mess up.
You are not allowed to leave the team without military orders.
There is enough water at the supply point for you to drink enough.
No mess is allowed.
Anyone who disobeys the order will be shot."
Frightened by Zhao Ziliang's pressure, the soldiers resisted their desire for water and food.
They did not dare to leave the team and run to the supply point.
They could only line up and walk down the hillside towards the supply point.
Seeing the soldiers happily walking towards the supply point, the guide standing on the sand dune realized what was happening.
He pointed to the tent at the supply point in shock and said, "General, how is it possible that there really is a supply point here?"
Zhao Ziliang laughed: "Hahaha, this general has already prepared all this with clever calculations.
It's just that I use your mouth to tell the story to be convincing."
The guide suddenly realized: "That's it" At the border between Shazhou and Yizhou, a 3,000-strong Tang Army cavalry crossed the border and entered Mohe Yanqi.
The leader was Li Hongding, the governor of Shazhou and the military envoy of Jiandulu, accompanied by Li Linfu's staff.
Liang Wenzhao.
This time, in order to kill Zhao Ziliang and a thousand Shenwu troops, Li Hongding brought all the cavalry of the Doulu Army.
These 3,000 Doulu Army cavalry were very elite and could be said to be the entire wealth of Li Hongding and the Doulu Army.
After entering Moheyanqi, Li Hongding couldn't stand it.
Although most of Shazhou is desert and desert, the environment is still much better than Moheyanqi.
At least Shazhou has many oases, and this Moheyanqi walked for hundreds of miles without seeing a single animal or bird, let alone a plant.
It was simply a place of death.
Li Hongding's body was bumping as the horse trotted.
There was much more sand and dust in the air than in Shazhou, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He couldn't help cursing: "This is such a stupid place. " Not long after, the three thousand Doulu Army cavalry led by Li Hongding and Liang Wenzhao encountered Ruan Xiaoer and four other people who had escaped from the depths of Mohe Yanqi.
"I have met you, sir," the four of them saluted Liang Wenzhao.
Liang Wenzhao nodded, pointed at Li Hongding and introduced: "This is Mr.
Li, I haven't seen him before."
The four people quickly said to Li Hongding: "Meet Mr.
Li."
Li Hongding nodded, with a somewhat indifferent expression.
Liang Wenzhao asked the four of them: "I asked you to set fire to Zhao Ziliang's food and grass and pour out the drinking water.
You have done it."
The strong man who was the leader of the four said: "Sir, we are lucky enough to live up to our mission.
Even if the Tang army succeeds in putting out the fire, the remaining food and water can only last for three days at most.
It has been three days now.
I want to get their food and water."
They are already exhausted.

In another three days, I am afraid that even if they do not die of hunger or thirst, they may not have half their lives left."
After hearing this, Liang Wenzhao looked at Li Hongding and asked: "Master Li, let's hurry up and hurry up."
"Alright, the whole army continues to set off."
Li Hongding issued the military order to continue on the road, and then said to Ruan Xiaoer and the other four: "You four will lead the way, and we will take a shortcut and cross over to stop them in their way."
"Yes, my lord" After marching for two hours that morning, Zhao Ziliang's army camped and rested under a bare hilltop that was severely eroded by the wind.
The camp was backed by the bare hilltop and in front of it was a slightly higher sand dune.
Fixed sentries were arranged on the top of the hill.
In addition, people are arranged to watch and watch on the sand dunes in front from time to time.
After days of traveling, the three-year cavalry of the Doulu Army, led by Li Hongding and Liang Wenzhao, finally crossed in front of Zhao Ziliang's army and found the general location of Zhao Ziliang's army.
Three thousand cavalry trotted towards Zhao Ziliang's army.
A scout on Pegasus ran over and reported to Li Hongding: "Sir, there is a sand dune ten miles ahead, and there are flags flying behind the sand dune.
It seems that this troop is camping behind the sand dune."
Li Hongding nodded, and immediately sent someone to summon all the generals and said: "There is a rebel army in front that has robbed a large amount of gold and silver jewelry from the imperial court and is preparing to flee to the Western Regions.
I have been ordered to destroy them.
Send an order to defeat this rebel army.
Take back the gold, silver and jewels they stole, and I will take the initiative and give 30% to all the soldiers."
These generals didn't know the truth at all.
They heard that 30% of the gold, silver and jewelry could be distributed, and each of them would definitely have a lot of money.
The soldiers were overjoyed, and each one rushed to say that they would lead the vanguard.
The order was quickly conveyed to each of the three thousand Doulu Army cavalry, and the soldiers were all screaming with excitement.
Seeing that their morale was ready, Li Hongding immediately ordered the entire army to advance at full speed towards Zhao Ziliang's army.
The three thousand cavalrymen marching at full speed made a great noise.
Even though it was on sandy ground, the shaking of the ground and the smoke and dust in the sky were quickly discovered by the security sentries on the sand dunes.
The situation was immediately reported to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang was shocked when he heard it. , immediately got on his horse and ran towards the sand dunes.
Arriving at the highest point of the sand dune, Zhao Ziliang picked up the telescope on his chest and looked into the distance.
A cavalry force appeared at the lens.
Judging from the size and the number of flags, there should be three thousand people.
When the army got closer, Zhao Ziliang finally looked away from the opponent.
I saw a clear big character on the general's flag: "李" Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ziliang saw a familiar face and a masked man.
This familiar person turned out to be Li Hongding, the governor of Shazhou and the envoy of Doulu Army.
"It seems that the person who came here is not good, so we are in big trouble now" Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but say.
After getting the news, Ashina Xin also rushed over.
He happened to hear Zhao Ziliang's words and asked: "General, where is this army?"
Zhao Ziliang said in a deep voice: "Li Hongding, the governor of Shazhou and the envoy of the Doulu Army, and his three thousand elite cavalry of the Doulu Army."
Ashina Xin smiled and said: "We are about to pass Mohe Yanqi.
Mr.
Li is too polite.
At this time, he brought someone over to see him off.
He is really a good person."
Zhao Ziliang was speechless for a while after hearing this, thinking to himself, are you really stupid or stupid?
Is this formation here to see you off?
He sneered: "I'm afraid Li Hongding is not here to see him off, otherwise he wouldn't have brought so many troops."
"What?"
Ashina Xin's face changed drastically, "Does he want to" Zhao Ziliang nodded solemnly and said to Bo Bo Han: "Bo Bo Han, you and Nuer took the Eighteen Tornado Cavalry and all the Shenwu Army cavalry and all our retinue cavalry into two parts and moved toward the northeast and southwest along the foot of the sand dunes.

Make a detour, and all the infantry of a certain band will set up a military formation here to wait for the enemy to arrive to attract their attention.
When leading them to attack the infantry military formation, you should immediately rush out from behind on both sides of the dune and rush into their rear."
Brahan was shocked: "General, you must not do it.
There are only less than 600 infantry here.
No matter how tight the military formation is, it will not be able to stop the impact of the 3,000 cavalry of the Doulu Army."
Zhao Ziliang said coldly: "So you must be quick and seize the best opportunity to give Li Hongding and his Doulu Army cavalry a fatal blow from behind.
Apart from this method, there is no other way.
Go and execute it."
"No" Brahan had to grit his teeth and carry out the order
