Chapter 329 Desert Crisis

After hearing this, Changsun Chong emphasized: "Brother Hua Wu, you must be careful. This is not a trivial matter. These foods and grass can affect the lives of thousands of soldiers, and there should be no accidents."

"You kid is more careful. It's important to have your life. Let Liu Muxiang stay by your side for a moment tomorrow." Hua Wu explained.

"Thank you, Brother Hua Wu!" Changsun Chong was grateful.

"No need to thank you, I'll do it first." Hua Wu finished answering and closed the communication.

Changsun Chong felt at ease and fell asleep soon. He had to cheer up tomorrow and could not be careless.

"Mu Xiang, don't leave me. I think today is very dangerous." Changsun Chong said.

"Has the matter of the compass car been resolved?" Liu Muxiang asked, looking at the desert that could not be seen at a glance, feeling anxious.

"It's already arranged, don't worry!" Changsun Chong patted Liu Muxiang on the shoulder, finished breakfast, and ordered the departure.

Changsun Chong was nervous all the way, but he couldn't practice Hua Wu. Yesterday, Brother Hua Wu did not tell him why he couldn't contact him in the desert during the day. Is there a mystery in this desert?

As the sun passed over his head, Changsun Chong felt even more anxious, but Xinhua Wu did not adjust his direction, and they would enter the range of a sandstorm.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Liu Muxiang asked.

Changsun Chong shook his head and said, "It's okay, eat something and keep moving forward."

He was trembling and did not encounter a sandstorm until he saw the sun was west. Changsun Chong felt relieved, and it seemed that the direction had turned around.

Some people were happy and some were worried. Changsun Chong was happy to avoid the sandstorm, and even avoided the ambush, but the traitors in the army were worried.

Didn’t you say you would encounter sandstorms? Why haven’t you been there yet? Is it because you have an error in your prediction?

Changsun Chong had already told Dazhu to observe near the compass. In addition to guarding the compass, he would see who else approached the compass.

As expected, Dazhu came to report the next morning. He said that at night, two people went to check the compass car, one was General Gu, the commander of the army, and the other was General Wu, the deputy commander.

"Two?" Changsun Chong was surprised. Could it be that these two people were accomplices, they were all traitors? Or the traitors sent by the two groups of people?

"Yes, I asked for it. Commander Gu would go to see the guide car every day. But not only the guide car, but also the other ones should be inspected daily according to the customs. Deputy Commander Wu is not responsible for this matter." Dazhu replied.

Changsun Chong thought about it, but these two people still couldn't tell which of the spy was, so he could only wait.

Changsun Chong learned from Huawu that they had three days to walk out of the desert. Originally, the whole journey only took four days, but it was delayed for two days because they took the wrong path.

The next morning, Changsun Chong ordered to speed up and strive to arrive for two days. He was worried that if there was no ambush in the future, those people would chase after him.

Yesterday, Changsun Chong took advantage of the night to send his family generals to take Changsun Chong's handwritten letters and handed them to Li Yexu who was with him. He asked him to send troops to reinforce as soon as possible.

"The eldest young master, the soldiers complained, saying that it was too urgent to go on the road." Dazhu said with a bitter face. He didn't know why the eldest young master was anxious.

Changsun Chong frowned and said, "Ignorance and fearless! We are even in danger of being wiped out along the way, and these people are still tired!"

"Don't worry, I guess a large army will come to meet tomorrow night. Even if I encounter an ambush, I can still fight for it." Changsun Chong comforted. It is not the time to relax.

It was dark in the desert and it was impossible to rush, so Changsun Chong had to stop.

Fortunately, nothing happened at night. Changsun Chong felt relieved and quickly ordered the meal. He was ready and started to set off in a quarter of an hour.

There were more than twenty fewer people in the army. If the spy was careful, he would probably find out soon, so he had to move forward at full speed today.

"I know it's very tired, but now our itinerary has been discovered, and we have spies in the pair. If you don't want to die, please go forward at full speed." Changsun Chong had a bad premonition and stepped up his urging.

The soldiers pass through ten, and the ten pass through hundreds. No more nagging. It is better to be tired than to lose their lives.

As noon approached, Changsun Chong ordered people to stop and rest for a while, quickly eat dry food and drink water, but at this moment, Changsun Chong saw a yellow patch in the distance, as if the wind and sand had already blown.

"Prepare for battle! Arrange!" Changsun Chong knew that there should be no sandstorms along the way, and the only possibility was that someone was chasing him.

After those people found out that they had not entered the trap, they would immediately chase after them, and it was really not expected.

Liu Muxiang pulled out her spear, blocked Changsun's front, and said, "Master, you are behind me, don't move."

Changsun Chong knew how much he was and said, "I understand, you should pay attention to it."

Sure enough, I saw some people wearing black clothes and masks galloping towards me.

Changsun Chong was not afraid, because there were 3,000 soldiers escorting food and grass this time, which could withstand the attacks of tens of thousands of people. Now that he has not experienced sandstorms, the camel caravan has suffered very little loss, he has enough water for food, and has had a meal just now, replenished water.

"Since you are here, why don't you show it to others with a mask?" Changsun Chong said loudly.

"You are not allowed to know, you just need to know that you can't get out of this desert." The leader sternly said with a curve in his hand.

Changsun sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

Deputy Commander Wu was next to Changsun Chong and stepped forward and said, "Sir Changsun, I wonder what I am capable of?" The long sword in his hand was placed next to Changsun Chong's neck.

"Haha, your general has been captured, so it's better to surrender quickly." The man in black laughed wildly. Deputy Commander Wu was considered to have committed a crime. They stared in the desert for two days, but they didn't wait for the camel caravan. According to the spies' reward, they realized that they had changed their direction.

Changsun sneered: "Deputy Commander Wu, are you really a spy?"

"Well, so what!" Deputy Commander Wu smiled proudly, "You are my prisoner now."

"General Li values ​​you so much, Your Majesty trusts you, why do you rebel?" Changsun Chong asked. Logically, Deputy Commander Wu was at a young age and had a bright future.

"Hmph, I'm a Tuyuhun native, so I can explain it!" Deputy Commander Wu replied, "Stop talking nonsense, put down your weapons quickly, otherwise I will kill General Changsun."

"So that's it! Don't worry about me. Even if you put down your weapons, they will not let me go, let alone leave your lives." Changsun Chong said to the other soldiers.

They are all bloody soldiers. I really didn't expect that the person who ate and slept with them on weekdays was Vice Commander Wu. I felt uncomfortable and even more angry!

However, General Changsun was born with a noble family and had always been approachable. He made great contributions to the court many times. It is said that the high-yield rice with warm cotton coats were cultivated by General Changsun. They wanted to die for General Changsun, and hesitated what to do?

Liu Muxiang was not far from Changsun Chong. She pulled out a spear in her hand and picked up the arrow on Deputy Commander Wu's neck like lightning. Changsun Chong fell off his horse.

Liu Muxiang saw that Changsun Chong had fallen off the horse and was no longer threatened with his life, so she focused on dealing with him, Deputy Commander Wu.

Even though Deputy Commander Wu was strong and burly, he stabbed Liu Muxiang in a few rounds and picked off his horse. The soldiers around him quickly surrounded him.

When Liu Muxiang saw Vice Commander Wu fall off the horse, she realized that there were a lot of cold sweat on her back. Fortunately, her husband was fine and she did not make any mistakes. Although it was a bit dangerous, she finally got rid of the spy in the camel caravan.

"General, are you okay?" Liu Muxiang asked hurriedly.

Changsun Chong got on the horse again and replied with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine!"

Changsun crowed, "Your insult has fallen into our hands. Since you are here, don't leave. Come here!"

Seeing that Deputy Commander Wu was solved so easily, the man in black cursed in his heart, saying that it was useless. In this way, he was solved by someone. If he had known it, he might as well let him continue to be buried in the Tang army. Maybe he could still be useful in the future. It took a lot of energy to develop a spy in the Tang army.

"Kill them!" The man in black waved the scimitar in his hand and said loudly.

Some people guarded the camel fleet, and the other part was lined up into a square of the Tang soldiers. The front row held hooks and sickles and the second row, which were holding Zhuge crossbows, and the third row was specially prepared to shoot arrows into the replaced Zhuge crossbows.

The black mass was already within the range. After the people in the second row aimed, they pulled the mechanism. Zhuge crossbows shot two arrows at the same time, and the men in black were all dismounted. Fortunately, a few people ran to the line. The soldiers in the first row quickly used a hook and sickle gun to cut off the horse's legs first, and fell off the horse.

Before he stood up, he had been stabbed to death with a spear.

Liu Muxiang protects Changsun Chong, Huo Qiang and Dazhu, and can free up his hands to participate in the battle.

The advantage of cavalry is its fast speed, but sometimes it is also a disadvantage. This method of rank in the Tang Dynasty was specially invented for nomadic peoples, with clear layers and powerful attacks.

There are 5,000 people coming at the end of the month, and 3,000 people on the Tang Dynasty. Come on, the advantageous weapons will not be lost.

The war lasted for an hour, and the men in black lost more than half of the people, and the Tang army also lost hundreds of them. These were all brave and good at fighting, which was a pity.

Just when Changsun Chong was anxious and wanted to end the war as soon as possible, there were loud shouts of beating and killing from behind.

Changsun smiled. This was the response of the Tang army. It seemed that the generals sent to the family had already delivered the letter.

Sure enough, Li Yexu took the lead and rushed over with five thousand men.

When the Tang army saw reinforcements coming, their morale increased greatly and they worked harder to kill the enemy.
