Chapter 1028 New Plan!
Chapter 1028
Datang had just gone through a tough battle. Originally there were more than 100,000 troops, but now including Gao Xianzhi's Anxi Protectorate Army, there are only more than 60,000, and there are many wounded among them. It is really a heavy loss. Not to mention, the ballista units that served as a deterrent also suffered heavy losses.
There are more than 3,000 Datang crossbows up to now, including those of the Anxi Imperial Guard Army, even if we try our best to repair them, there are only about 1,000 left. In this case, the loss of combat effectiveness can be imagined.
With this strength alone, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the seven imperial generals and 400,000 elite soldiers. What's more, there is a wilderness around Talas, except for a piece of hills, there is no geography that can be used at all. This is precisely the most unfavorable terrain for generals.
In this kind of place, the only way to compete is to rely on the art of war, formation, and the battlefield commanding capabilities of the commanders of both sides.
"Middle Earth is a long way from Talas. Even cavalry may not be able to reach it in less than a month. Perhaps our time is running out."
Gao Xianzhi smiled wryly.
"It's true that we don't have much time, but I'm afraid Dashi is not so fast. According to the Khorasan people, the three governors of Dashi are gathered together, and the soldiers and horses of the other two governors want to come. It's not that easy. In addition, the soldiers and horses of the three parties need to adjust each other, and it will take longer to act together after meeting. According to my estimation, even if the time they need is less than a month, I'm afraid it won't be too far behind .”
Unexpectedly, Wang Chong smiled slightly, but he didn't really care about Gao Xianzhi's worries.
"One month?"
Gao Xianzhi was finally stunned, he couldn't believe it. The distance between Dashi and Talas is much closer than Datang. Gao Xianzhi was most worried about not having enough time. If the big food army gathers together and 400,000 soldiers and horses approach the city, even if the reinforcements from the later Tang Dynasty arrive, it may not help the matter.
"Definitely need it!"
Wang Chong smiled with confidence.
Datang knew too little about Dashi. Even a top imperial general like Gao Xianzhi knew almost nothing about Dashi. As for the two places of Cairo and Tarsus, Gao Xianzhi, like other Tang generals, probably didn't know anything except these two names.
No one knows where they are or how far away they are.
But Wang Chong knew it.
The Dashi Empire in this period has the largest territory in history,
In terms of territorial area alone, it is probably more than one million square kilometers larger than Datang. One can imagine how big Dashi is. As for Tarsus, it is located at the northernmost end of the Great Food Map, which is already extremely far away from Talas.
It will definitely take a lot of time to mobilize soldiers and horses from such a distant place.
This is also the reason why Wang Chong is sure that it will not take less than a month for the Great Food Empire to come to the city.
For Datang, there is still enough time to prepare for this battlefield, at least the gap is not as big as imagined.
"Master Protector, how is your recovery?"
Wang Chong thought for a moment, and soon came back to his senses.
"More than 90% of the injury has recovered, but I am afraid that I am still powerless to deal with Abu Muslim/Lin."
At the end of Gao Xianzhi's speech, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Wang Chong couldn't help feeling heavy in his heart, and frowned. Gao Xianzhi's last sentence expresses the situation of the entire Talas Tang/army. There are a total of three governors in Dashi Empire's operation this time, and there is only one Gao Xianzhi who can compete with them.
If even the most powerful Gao Xianzhi couldn't deal with them, then everyone's situation can be imagined.
But soon, his eyes glanced at the thin sheets of letter paper on the table, and Wang Chong immediately came to his senses. Whether it would work or not depended on these few sheets of letter paper.
"My lord, I once got a martial art in the capital, but because of its incompatible nature, I haven't practiced it. During this period of time, I fought side by side with my lord, and I feel that the nature of my lord's aura is somewhat similar to this unique skill. It may be of some help to the Protectorate."
Wang Chong's eyes were fixed, and he suddenly stretched out a finger, and flicked out the two pieces of letter paper in front of him, sliding them in front of Gao Xianzhi.
"Yeah?"
Gao Xianzhi smiled slightly, subconsciously wanting to refuse. As the God of War Anxi, the top general of the empire, there are probably only a handful of people in the world who can guide him and help him. Besides, Wang Chong's cultivation was not even as good as his, so how could he come up with something useful to him.
But looking at Wang Chong's serious and expectant expression, Gao Xianzhi hesitated again. The current Talas is full of dangers, and any power is a great help. What's more, Wang Chong also had good intentions.
"Okay, I'll take these papers back and have a look."
While talking, Gao Xianzhi casually picked up the two pieces of letter paper from the table and put them in his arms.
Seeing this scene, Wang Chong heaved a sigh of relief. It took him a few days to select this method from the countless exercises and formulas that he had memorized in his mind. And to a certain extent, this kind of exercise has an extremely close relationship with Gao Xianzhi, and it is probably the most helpful to Gao Xianzhi.
However, even Wang Chong wasn't too sure about the specifics before the effect really came out.
——After all, this scene should never have happened in history.
"It's enough. As long as he goes back and takes a look, he will naturally understand."
Wang Chong secretly said in his heart.
He could feel that Gao Xianzhi wasn't too concerned about the exercises he gave, but Wang Chong didn't urge him, there were some things that couldn't be rushed.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
Wang Chong turned his gaze, and soon came back to his senses:
"The last time Lord Protector fought Abu Muslin, the armor on his body was broken, so this time, I specially ordered someone to tailor a suit of armor for him with the meteorite iron from the outer space."
"oh?!"
Gao Xianzhi's body trembled slightly, and a bright light suddenly shot out from his eyes, and he became interested immediately. Meteorite from the Outer Space is an extremely rare thing in this world. Even the armor given to him by the Holy Emperor does not contain so much meteorite from the Outer Space. But the existence of Wang Chong completely broke the perception of ordinary people.
I don't know how he did it. Gao Xianzhi has never seen so many extraterrestrial iron in his life, so that this extremely rare extraterrestrial iron, when it comes to Wang Chong, it seems to have turned into ordinary steel. People are amazed!
"hehe!"
Wang Chong smiled slightly, and didn't give a damn. He stretched out a finger and tapped lightly on a leaning wooden box next to the desk. Bang, the wooden board burst instantly, revealing a pair of black and red armor. Even with Gao Xianzhi's foresight and insight, he couldn't help his eyelids twitching when he saw this suit of armor.
This pair of armor is extremely beautiful in shape, each scale seems to have been polished thousands of times, and is as smooth as a mirror. Even if the light in the room is dim, it reflects bursts of dazzling light. As for the armor as a whole, it is mighty yet elegant. Each line has been carefully designed, independent and perfectly unified. From a distance, it looks like a dragon and a tiger, full of strong sense of power and ferocious explosive power.
"Unbelievable!"
Even with Gao Xianzhi's vision, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation the moment he saw this piece of armor. The armor that Wang Chong forged was different from any armor he knew. The style and level of forging far surpassed any armor.
Gao Xianzhi just glanced at it, and couldn't help falling in love with it.
"how?"
Wang Chong smiled slightly.
"Unbelievable! Wang Chong, how did you do it?"
Gao Xianzhi said sincerely. There seemed to be nothing that Wang Chong couldn't do.
"Hehe, have you forgotten, Lord Protector, that I myself am a master of weapon forging."
Wang Chong said.
"Haha, I almost forgot. No one can forge weapons better than you. Since you can forge Uzi steel swords, you can also forge armor."
Gao Xianzhi was startled and then laughed.
In this world, anyone who says he is a master of weapon forging would be too boastful. Only Wang Chong would not make people feel boastful, but would make people think that he is a bit too modest. Whether it is the sharp Uzi steel sword that cuts iron like mud, the majestic and indestructible city of steel, or the heavy crossbow that can kill even giant beasts... Wang Chong's performance has gone far beyond The category of a weapon master.
With his ability, forging a pair of armor is naturally not a problem.
Wang Chong smiled without saying a word. This pair of armor was designed by him himself, supervised by Zhang Shouzhi, and participated in the completion. It used many physical principles that Wang Chong knew, as well as the knowledge of another world. While it is gorgeous, it also increases the defense. strength.
Especially in the vital parts of the body, Wang Chong has also strengthened and strengthened, so as to help Gao Xianzhi to the greatest extent, and reduce the threats and trauma he will receive when fighting against top-level powerhouses like Abu Muslin. .
Gao Xianzhi was delighted to see Lie Xin, and with Wang Chong's permission, he took the armor and tried it on on the spot.
"Nice! Fits great!"
The more Gao Xianzhi looked at it, the more delighted he was. Wang Chong's suit of armor was extremely ingenious. Every armor plate, every arc, and every joint made Gao Xianzhi feel extremely close to the body, as if he were using his arms. Gao Xianzhi even had the illusion that this suit of armor was breathing with him, this feeling was something Gao Xianzhi had never experienced before.
"It's as long as Master Protector likes it."
Wang Chong also smiled slightly at the side. After sending out this armor, the two discussed a lot of things about defense and possible future shocks.
"By the way, Master Protector, there is one more thing."
I don't know how long it took, but when the two of them were about to reach an agreement, Wang Chong suddenly said another thing that he had been thinking about for a long time, and it was also the main purpose of calling Gao Xianzhi over this time:
"I want to discuss one thing with Lord Protectorate. Soldiers are more expensive than expensive. I want to select some of the most elite fighters from the Anxi Protectorate Army, Qixi Protectorate Army, and mercenaries to form a special army." The army, come to deal with the cannibals."
"oh?"
Gao Xianzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise. Datang's troops in Talas were simply not enough. He never expected that Wang Chong would propose to form an additional army at this time.
"What kind of army do you want to raise?"
Gao Xianzhi said, he didn't express his opinion lightly.
