Chapter 113 Gathering Heavy Troops for a Decisive Battle

Deng Yucheng, the garrison commander of Shule City, one of the four towns of Anxi, died for his country in such a tragic way, which was also a way to repay the life-saving grace of the prince Zhao Gan in front of Hulao Pass.

As early as when Deng Yucheng found out that the reinforcements that rushed to the four towns of Anxi from thousands of miles away and made the Western Region barbarian army that besieged Shule City flee were actually the Longcheng troops under Chen Huaian, he had already thought of his own ending.

Although Deng Yucheng was loyal, he was not stupid.

Chen Huaian was a hero who would eventually ascend to the throne of emperor step by step. He, Deng Yucheng, was loyal to the Daxin Dynasty and would rather die for Daxin than surrender to Chen Huaian.

However, he could not selfishly ask the soldiers of the Shule City Anxi Frontier Army under his command to be loyal to the court like him and be buried with Emperor Jian'an Zhao Gan.

Therefore, only if he died, the soldiers of the Anxi Frontier Army in Shule City could have a way to survive, or perhaps a bright road to success.

Deng Yucheng used his death to exchange for the lives of the soldiers of the Anxi Frontier Army in Shule City.

The next day.

When Chen Huaian personally led 30,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry and appeared outside Shule City again, the city gate had already been opened. Tan Li was leading more than 6,000 Shule defenders to line up to welcome His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin into the city.

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin into the city!"

Tan Li's face was solemn and he roared.

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin into the city!"

More than 6,000 Shule defenders roared in unison, and the momentum was deafening.

Chen Huaian wore golden armor, with a seven-star dragon sword tied around his waist, and rode a good horse, a yellow horse, into the city with his head held high.

Behind him, the fierce general Lan Yu and the commander of the Jinwu Guard Xiao Po followed His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin into the city on the left and right.

Then, the Guanning Iron Cavalry soldiers, who were lined up in an orderly manner and had strict military discipline, passed through the city gate in an orderly manner and entered Shule City.

After the army entered the city, Tan Li finally had the opportunity to get close to Chen Huaian and repeated to Chen Huaian what happened last night.

Oh?

Upon hearing this, Chen Huaian raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "It seems that Deng Yucheng is a man!"

"Pass the order down, bury Deng Yucheng with honor!"

After thinking for a while, he added: "Treat his family well according to the pension standards for generals who died in the army!"

"I have received the order!"

At the same time.

When Chen Huaian led the Guanning Iron Cavalry into Shule City for rest, the Western Region Barbarians who were chased by the Guanning Iron Cavalry from Yanqi City to Shule City like ducks finally had a moment of respite.

After gathering the Western Region coalition forces that besieged Shule City, the Huihe Huairen Khan Guli Peiluo, who had 50,000 soldiers and horses, finally had the confidence to fight Chen Huaian head-on.

A remote town in the Gobi Desert a hundred miles away from Shule City has become Guli Peiluo's temporary camp.

A simple loess yard is Guli Peiluo's temporary tent.

"Report--"

"Khan, the scouts in front reported that the cavalry of the dog Han Chen Huaian have all entered Shule City!"

At this time, the messenger's voice came from outside the tent.

Hearing this news, the Huihe generals and Western Region generals in the room finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Uighur general Azar said: "Khan, I think that the dog Han Chen Huaian will definitely take a short rest in Shule City before attacking Qiuci City!"

"After rushing all the way, Chen Huaian and the Han cavalry are already exhausted. Without ten days or half a month of rest, they will definitely not be able to send troops again."

"At this time, if our Western Region coalition forces can seize the opportunity and rush to Qiuci City without stopping, and join forces with the 100,000 coalition forces that are attacking Qiuci City, we will definitely be able to capture Qiuci City before Chen Huaian's cavalry arrives in Qiuci City!"

After a pause, Azar continued: "In this way, the army's expedition this time will not be in vain!"

Azar's proposal was quickly echoed by the Uighur generals.

The generals unanimously agreed that it would be more cost-effective to capture Qiuci City to rob money, food, and women than to fight against Chen Huaian's elite cavalry.

The remaining Huihe soldiers who besieged Yanqi were chased by Chen Huaian's elite cavalry all the way and had already witnessed the bravery and fighting skills of the Han cavalry.

If their horses were not stronger, they would not have reached Shule City at all and would have been annihilated by Chen Huaian.

Even so, when the 30,000 Huihe cavalry who fled from Yanqi City to Shule arrived in Shule City, only a little over 10,000 people were left.

Even the young and energetic Huihe's first brave general Azar did not have the courage to fight against the iron cavalry under Chen Huaian's command, so he proposed to continue to retreat to Qiuci City.

In fact, Azar did not dare to say the second half of the sentence.

That is, if Qiuci City cannot be captured, it is necessary to escape back to the Huihe territory as soon as possible, so as not to be bitten by Chen Huaian's cavalry and it will be too late to run.

However, Azar did not dare to say this in front of Huairen Khan Guli Peiluo.

Because, after hearing Azar's proposal to withdraw the troops, Guli Peiluo, who was sitting in the main seat, had turned pale.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Swish!

With Guli Peiluo's low roar, the Huihe generals in the room no longer dared to speak, and all turned their eyes to the gloomy Khan Huairen.

Hum!

Guli Peiluo snorted coldly, pointed his spearhead directly at Azar, and said with a somewhat sarcastic tone: "I didn't expect that the first warrior of the Huihe would be a coward!"

"Khan, I——"

Azhar felt his face flushed, and he wanted to stand up and defend himself immediately, but was rudely interrupted by Guli Peiluo.

"Isn't it?"

Guli Peiluo said sternly: "You are still attacking Qiuci City. I think you want to return to the capital of Huihe as soon as possible. You are afraid of that dog Han Chen Huaian!"

"No, no!"

Azhar hesitated, obviously not confident.

Guli Peiluo ignored him and continued to yell at the other generals in the room: "And you are also a group of cowards. You actually want to continue to flee westward with Azhar!"

"Under the city of Yanqi, the dog Han Chen Huaian slaughtered more than 40,000 of my Huihe warriors. As a general, you don't want to avenge the soldiers who died in battle, but you actually want to stop fighting and flee home."

"You can go home, but those soldiers from various countries in the Western Regions who died outside the city of Yanqi, those who were chased and killed by the Han cavalry along the way, and fell in the vast Gobi Desert What about them?"

"Their remains are forever abandoned in the Gobi Desert; their souls will never rest in peace!"

At this point, Guli Peiluo's tone suddenly became sharp, and he said: "How can you return home with peace of mind?"

"Blood for blood, life for life, has always been the principle followed by us Huihe people and all countries in the Western Regions!"

"If you don't fight the Han cavalry under Chen Huaian head-on, do you have the face to go back and meet the families of those fallen soldiers?"

Swish!

Guli Peiluo's words immediately made the generals headed by Azar bow their heads in shame.

Guli Peiluo continued: "Right now, there are still 100,000 Western Region Allied Forces outside Qiuci City, and 50,000 Western Region Allied Forces in Shama Town!"

"Together, that's a full 150,000 troops. 150,000 brave and skilled Western Region warriors, are they afraid of a mere Chen Huaian and his 30,000 cavalry?"

"Even if one person spits, the 150,000 Western Region Allied Forces can drown the 30,000 troops under Chen Huaian!"

As he spoke, Guli Peiluo pointed his finger, starting with Azar, and swept through the generals present one by one, and then he said again: "With such a military advantage, you still want to withdraw?"

"Khan, I was blinded by lard, I was wrong!"

"Khan, I was wrong!"

For a moment, the generals headed by Azar suddenly changed their attitude 180 degrees, and admitted their mistakes to Guli Peiluo in unison.

Then, Azar knelt on one knee and volunteered: "Khan, please give me a chance to redeem myself. I am willing to be the vanguard and fight to the death with the dog Han Chen Huaian!"

"I hope Khan will grant my permission!"
