Chapter 1069 The Dashi Allied Forces, Daqin Ruozan Arrives
Chapter 1069 [Fourth update! 】
In the hall, it was very quiet. Every word of Wang Chong resounded, causing echoes in everyone's hearts. The atmosphere, which was originally somewhat depressing and heavy, suddenly became invigorated under the influence of Wang Chong.
The Divine Prison Army, Xuanwu Army, Longxiang Army, Tiger Army..., and the second batch of reinforcements from Qixi, the composition and quantity of all reinforcements, except for Wang Chong, many people have no idea at all. Even Gao Xianzhi knew nothing about the many troops that Wang Chong had mobilized from the inland of the Tang Dynasty.
At least Gao Xianzhi had never heard of the Xuanwu Army and the God-Prison Army in the Forbidden Army before, and he didn't know how powerful they were.
But Wang Chong, as the dispatcher of the whole plan, no one knows better than him.
"Soldiers are more expensive than elite soldiers", this is not only a sentence, but also a concept that Wang Chong believed in throughout his life.
He has been a human being for two lifetimes and has experienced so much. In wars, he is used to winning more with less. The number of soldiers is very important, but the overall quality of soldiers is the most important.
The Tang Dynasty was able to conquer so many empires with 600,000 soldiers and horses, conquered so many empires, brought all nations to court, and created a prosperous myth, an empire with an unprecedentedly large territory, all thanks to the strong combat effectiveness of the soldiers!
"Wang Chong, what are your thoughts?"
Gao Xianzhi suddenly spoke.
For Gao Xianzhi, this war has gone beyond his expectations. There are many things that he did not expect at all when he attacked the Stone Kingdom. But Wang Chong was different. He was very young, so he knew everything about the war and its arrangements, including this reinforcement plan.
The reinforcements this time can reach 60,000 soldiers and horses, and all of them are top-notch elites. There is no doubt that this was specially prepared by Wang Chong before this war.
"hehe."
Wang Chong smiled and did not deny it.
"The big cannibals are far less powerful than imagined. Although I can't be sure about the final result of this battle, at least one thing is, no matter what the big cannibals want to do, they will suffer unprecedented heavy losses in Talas! "
After saying this, Wang Chong's eyes became extremely firm.
...
Taros quickly entered the intense preparation period,
All soldiers and horses entered the city for intensive training. Whether it is the God Prison Army, the Xuanwu Army, the Longxiang Army, or the Tiger Army, they are all existences that are not inferior to the Iron Wall Army, but on the battlefield, what the Legions need most is cooperation.
Taking advantage of the fact that the reinforcements arrived and the big cannibals did not dare to attack, Wang Chong organized the most elite forces such as the God Prison Army and the Shenwu Army, and conducted the most intense training. In this training, Wang Chong did not give anyone a false hand, but personally took over the training of the army. As the most powerful soldier in Middle-earth, Wang Chong has not trained an army with all his strength for a long time. Wang Chong attached great importance to this battle.
...
At the same time, when Wang Chong used the time of night to train soldiers and horses in Talas City, in the camp of the big cannibal in the distance, apart from Qudibo, Abu Muslin, Aybek, Osman, etc. All the big food commanders gathered together.
"What do you think of this war?"
Surrounding a long table in the style of Dashi, Abu Muslin stood up, looked at the comrades beside him and said.
It was quiet in the tent, and everyone fell silent while looking at a topographic map of Talas on the table. Among them, the expressions of Osman and Ayibek are the most complicated. Before today, they would have scoffed at Abu Muslim's proposal. To deal with this pagan empire, Aybek and Ottoman seldom used any special tactics, and the Dashi Empire rarely used any strategies, formations, or tactics in all foreign wars.
When one party's strength reaches the level of crushing, there is no such thing as wisdom and strategy. Strength is the greatest wisdom and the greatest strategy.
"This empire is very difficult to deal with. It is probably much stronger than the Sassanid Dynasty we wiped out. If you hadn't witnessed it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that someone in them could be compared to Qutippo, and he was even an old man."
Osman pondered, and said in a deep voice.
"More than that, the support army they brought looks very powerful, and I am afraid it will not be weaker than the Iron Wall Army of the Anxi Protectorate Army. If all of them have such a strong fighting force, even if they only have a few hundred thousand horses, I am afraid we will not It is difficult to destroy them as easily as imagined."
Aybeck said in a deep voice, as the commander of the Mamluk Legion and the most unique commander in the entire empire, Aybeck rarely cares about the detailed attack of a war, and he is not likely to intervene in such legion-level battles . But the opponents behind the steel line of defense on the opposite side, their corps composition, has been so strong that Aybek, the commander of the Mamluk army, cannot ignore it.
"In general, our biggest advantage is that we have the absolute initiative in the cavalry. The Tang people's steel defense makes it difficult for our army to exert its true power, but it also restrains them. Without the steel defense, their The defensive ability will be greatly weakened, so in a short period of time, as long as we still have the initiative on the scene, they will not dare to leave the defense line to take the initiative to attack, so the initiative is still in our hands."
Ziad said in a low voice. As the vice-governor of Dashi Dongfang, Ziyad was fortunate for the first time that he was born in an empire on horseback. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine that other than Dashi, there is any other force that can fight against this empire. More than that, Ziad even had a strong feeling in his heart that the opponent facing Talas was probably a powerful existence second only to Dashi, the real "Second Empire".
"It is very difficult to judge this battle now. At least until we find out the true strength of the Tang reinforcements, we have no way to launch a full-scale war. Now we have to wait for the troops of Uzbek and Western Turks, although These two eastern empires are not as powerful as ours, but their understanding of Datang may be able to give us unexpected guidance and help."
Abu Muslim/Lin opened his mouth.
Before and after the whole war, he had already thought clearly that the Tang people were not as weak as he imagined. Dashi must do everything possible to gather all the power to completely destroy them, otherwise, the future will face the Tang people. In such a predicament, I am afraid that it will be replaced by Dashi.
"The Uzbek Tibetans and Western Turkic people you mentioned, although I haven't seen them yet, but if you insist on waiting for them to arrive before starting a decisive battle, have you thought about how to explain it to Qutibo?"
Osman's voice was loud, and his eyes moved away from the map of Talas on the desktop, and slowly looked at Abmus/Lindau on the opposite side.
Although the meeting at night gathered the top governors of Dashi such as Abu Muslim/Lin and Osman, one Qutippo was missed. The dispute during the day was still in sight, no one dared to offend Qudibo at this time. Qudibo is a true war madman, and the retreat during the day has already made him extremely dissatisfied. It would be unimaginable for everyone to stand here and wait for the arrival of Uzang and Western Turks for a few days. .
If Qutibo gets angry, I'm afraid everyone here will be no match for him.
As soon as Osman's voice fell, everyone in the camp fell into silence. The existence of Qutippo was like the sun and the moon in the sky. You may not look up, but you cannot ignore his existence.
If Qutippo insisted on attacking, even Abu Muslim/Lin would not be able to stop it. This is exactly the dilemma faced by everyone in the camp.
"Boom!"
Just when everyone fell into silence, the sky suddenly shook, and a strong vibration of horseshoes came from behind the Dashi army. Hearing this sound, all the imperial generals in the camp were stunned. Behind Dashi's army, everyone really couldn't think of any other power that could appear at this time.
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Abmus/Lin felt a twitch, and a vague thought flashed through his mind.
"Report!"
Almost at the same time, a messenger from Dashi rushed in from outside the camp. Before he could see the people in the camp, he knelt down on one knee and bowed:
"Report to the governor, a large army was found outside, and the other party spread the news that it is our ally, belonging to the Uzbek Tibetan and Western Turkic army. The commander in chief is Daqin Ruozan."
"What?!"
Hearing this sentence, Abu Muslin/Lin looked shocked and overjoyed.
"Very good!"
Before he had time to explain to everyone, Abu Muslim/Lin immediately stepped forward and strode out from the tent. Behind them, Ayibek and Osman looked at each other, and quickly followed out.
...
At the same time, behind the hundreds of thousands of cannibal troops, horseshoes burst out and smoke billowed. Not far from the cannibal barracks, a soldier and horse was crossing a narrow stone bridge towards the cannibal army. The direction gallops away.
"Hoof!"
The horse's hooves sounded, the green shirt fluttered, and a figure in a green Confucian shirt rode a tall barley horse across the stone bridge towards the cannibal's camp.
"Hehe, Huo Shu, it seems that we are not too late, the big cannibal and the Tang people have not yet launched a decisive battle."
Daqin Ruozan waved his sleeves lightly, looked at the densely packed torches in the distance, illuminating the night sky, like the Dashi camp with stars in the sky, and the majestic and towering city of Talas in the distance, and said.
"As you expected, it seems that the trenches and horse traps we ordered to dig have played a role. Datang's reinforcements arrived about two days later than expected."
As the air flow surged, a voice came from behind, and Huo Shu Guizang rode a Uzang horse, and came up from behind.
Although he lost to the Tang people and the boy named Su Hanshan in the frontal battle, Daqin Ruozan still successfully used the horse traps and trenches he dug to block Datang's reinforcements and delayed their arrival time, and bought enough time for his rear detour. Although it took a big detour, Uzang was not late for this war.
"My lord, look quickly, the big cannibal is moving!"
Suddenly, a chubby adjutant next to Daqin Ruozan shouted.
One sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and countless eyes turned their heads to look to the north, only to see there, there was a sudden commotion in the Dashi army, which was originally heavily arrayed and clearly divided. In the eyes of everyone, thousands of Dashi troops separated like water waves, and a burly and tall figure was leading many Dashi generals towards their direction.
"Hehe, the old friend is here, let's go, let's meet Abu Muslim/Lin together!"
As soon as the voice fell, Daqin Ruozan clamped his horse's belly, took the lead, and headed towards the direction of the big cannibal first.
On the other side, Abu Muslim/Lin looked here with a smile in his eyes.
