Chapter 1117 Wang Chong's Plan!
Chapter 1117 [Fourth update! 】
"Qianli is right. In this battle, Dashi still has about 100,000 people, which is still more than us in number. In addition, although we have not lost much in this battle, the key point is that the crossbow bolts of the ballista troops have been exhausted. It's almost there. Once there are not enough crossbow arrows, it will be difficult for the ballista troops to exert their power."
Gao Xianzhi's words were very tactful. Although Datang still has more than 50,000 people, 25,000 of them belong to the Ballista Troop.
The fighters of these ballista troops are all bandits and horse bandits on the Silk Road. Although they have undergone great changes after Su Hanshan's training, their combat effectiveness is still not strong, and there is no way to compete with the big * sharp cavalry. Hand to hand.
In other words, Datang's real available troops were less than 30,000. With 30,000 people fighting against the real 100,000 troops, the situation in Datang is still not optimistic.
"Su Hanshan, how many crossbow bolts have you collected from the battlefield?"
Wang Chong suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Hanshan who was beside him.
"There are only more than 7,000 unused crossbow bolts in good condition now. Although our people are still collecting the crossbow bolts fired on the battlefield, a considerable part of these crossbow bolts is damaged. Distortion, I have already asked Zhang Shouzhi to fix it. However, I am worried that it may be too late."
Su Hanshan said seriously.
It will take time to repair, but the big battle is imminent, I am afraid that the big cannibal will not give the people of Tang Dynasty enough time to repair the crossbow bolts, and more than 7,000 crossbow bolts are obviously unable to create enough deterrent force against the big cannibal.
"Actually, based on our military strength, if we take defensive measures, replace the attack with defense, and wait for the big cannibals to attack on their own initiative, they will definitely attack. With the help of the city wall, we may not be able to defend against them. , and even hit them hard again. The big cannibal has 400,000 soldiers and horses, and now there are only more than 100,000 left. The loss is really heavy, and they should be more worried now than us."
The leader of Banakhan, Fergana, suddenly stepped forward and said.
Although the Bana Khan suffered heavy losses in this battle, Fergana had great confidence in Datang. What Banakhan lost was only temporary, but what he gained was long-term benefits in the future.
The nomads on the grasslands and the farming peoples in the Middle Earth have completely different views on life and death. As a mercenary soldier, dying in such a vast war is the most glorious end for a soldier. Get prosperity, prosperity, and it's all worth it.
"It's not that simple. The key to this battle is not at all the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the cannibals.
It's not about their comeback, it's about Qutippo. If we can't get rid of Qudibo, it doesn't matter whether we use defense instead of offense or use offense instead of defense. He only needs one sword to destroy all our defenses. "
Suddenly a voice came from the side, and the King of Gunk walked a few steps forward and suddenly spoke, looking worried.
As the leader of the Gunk clan, the personality of the King of Gunk, and his experience of studying in Middle Earth, enabled him to always see the essence of things sharply.
As soon as the King of Gunk's voice fell, the entire hall was suddenly silent, and a needle could be heard, and everyone was thoughtful.
There is no doubt about Qudibo's strength, he is like a mountain on top of everyone, making people breathless.
If this problem is not resolved, it will be very difficult for the Tang Dynasty to truly win, because Qudibo and Abu Muslim/Lin can gather troops and horses to make a comeback again and again. If this threat is not eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will never be able to talk about peace, Talas It can also be breached at any time.
Everyone in the hall is thinking hard, but martial arts is different from strategy, there are not so many skills, it is all head-to-head encounters. It is not easy to defeat Qudibo.
Gradually, everyone's brows were wrinkled, and the frowns became tighter, even Wang Chong did the same. His eyes flicked over and over again to the sand table on the table. On the sand table, hills, peaks, plains, castles, and even the black forest in the distance could be clearly seen. Wang Chong has read this terrain sand table of Talas countless times, and he knows everything well.
However, when Wang Chong glanced over the city of Talas, suddenly, his heart moved, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Master Gao, General Cheng, I have a way, maybe I can kill Qudibo."
Wang Chong raised his head and said suddenly.
One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and Wang Chong's simple words suddenly passed through like a strong wind, causing waves in everyone's hearts.
Gao Xianzhi, Cheng Qianli, the King of Gangke and Su Hanshan all looked over and looked at Wang Chong. There was a look of extreme shock in everyone's eyes.
Everything can be balanced with resourcefulness, except strength.
If Wang Chong can really kill Qudibo, then the rest are nothing to worry about, whether it is Abu Muslim/Lin or Ayybek, or Uszang and Western Turks, they are not the opponents of Datang at all.
"This matter is about 50% sure, but everything needs the cooperation and consent of everyone!"
Without hesitation, Wang Chong immediately expressed the bold idea in his mind.
"Buzz!"
Although Wang Chong only said a few words in an understatement, hearing his plan, everyone's heart was agitated.
Even the most daring person was shocked by his unconstrained ideas, speechless for a long time. The King of Gangke, Fergana, Xi Yuanqing, and Lou Shiyi all looked at Wang Chong in shock.
"Crazy! It's crazy! Master Protector, if you didn't say this, I would definitely think that person is a lunatic."
Xi Yuanqing suddenly couldn't help it.
Xi Yuanqing and Wang Chong had contacted before, but at this moment Wang Chong, even Xi Yuanqing felt a little strange. That kind of crazy boldness is enough to leave a deep impression on anyone. Although Xi Yuanqing had heard of various legends about Wang Chong before, he was not as famous as he had seen. Wang Chong's courage and courage are far more amazing than those in the legend.
"It's crazy, but the plan does work, doesn't it?"
Cheng Qianli thought for a moment, then suddenly said.
"And we really don't have a better way now."
"What General Cheng said makes sense, and I also think that the words of Lord Protector are indeed feasible."
At this time, Gu Li couldn't help but stepped forward and said. In this military meeting, it was rare for him to interject.
"Wang Chong, just do as you said. As for other aspects, I will arrange it."
At this moment, a voice rang in everyone's ears, Gao Xianzhi spoke suddenly, with a final word:
"If Dashi attacks, this will be our only chance!"
With the last sentence, Gao Xianzhi's eyes were like lightning, and he swept across the people in the hall.
Soon everyone in the hall reached an agreement, and Wang Chong and Gao Xianzhi had the highest status in the entire Talas. If the two coaches reached an agreement, there would naturally be no doubt about this matter.
"Since there is no objection, let's start!"
Gao Xianzhi glanced at the crowd, then called them together, all gathered together, and began to carefully discuss detailed strategic plans.
...
Time flies, and the expected final battle is much faster than expected.
Rumbling, smoke and dust billowing, the earth roaring, and thousands of war horses rushing forward. It was only dawn, and the last 100,000 Dashi, Uzang, and Western Turkic soldiers and horses had already arrived at the battlefield of Talas City. Just seven or eight thousand meters away from the first steel defense line, all the soldiers and horses stopped. down.
"It came so fast!"
Behind the high steel city wall, Wang Chong stood side by side with Gao Xianzhi, Wang Yan, and the old man Xiedi. Looking at the Dashi soldiers and horses sweeping in like a wave in the distance, a icy light flashed in his eyes.
The sky was gloomy, as if it was about to collapse at any moment.
Looking from a distance from the direction of the crowd, I saw that the opposite of Talas was densely packed and vast like a sea, all of them were troops from Dashi, Uzang, and Western Turks, even though they suffered heavy losses yesterday. However, the three-party coalition still has 100,000 soldiers and horses, lined up on the battlefield, and the momentum is extremely terrifying.
And among the vast army of iron cavalry, the six battle flags flying side by side still give people a great sense of impact.
The war horses neighed uncomfortably, as if they would rush over at any moment. In an instant, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Since the big cannibal stopped dozens of miles away last night, everyone knew that the big cannibal would make a comeback sooner or later. But no one thought it would be so fast. They arrived at the battlefield just after dawn, which meant that they had already made a decision last night and started marching in the middle of the night.
This kind of efficiency is not surprising, and the determination of the big cannibals, Uz Tibetans, and Western Turks can be seen from this!
"Prepare!"
A loud voice resounded throughout the sky. As soon as the sound fell, there was a loud cracking sound, and the arrows of the crossbow were quickly wound up and pushed into the rifling of the crossbow. The sharp arrow pointed at the three-party cavalry coalition in the distance.
All the soldiers of the ballista troop seemed to be calm, but they were actually extremely nervous. Only they themselves know that there are only more than 7,000 crossbow bolts now. Almost only one shot per ballista.
This time the opponent is too strong, all the armors are of the top level, and there are too many people, the wear and tear of the crossbow arrows is far beyond imagination. The mountains and seas of crossbow arrows were actually consumed, which was something that everyone never thought about before they set off.
Once the crossbow shot empty, no one dared to imagine what would happen in the face of the swarming Dashi army. However, turning their heads to look at the stern-looking figure behind them, everyone calmed down again.
As soldiers of the Ballista Troop and participated in such an important battle as the Battle of Talas, everyone knew that they were actually unqualified. They were just a group of bandits and horse bandits on the Silk Road, relying on robbing houses to make a living.
But Su Hanshan trusted them without reservation, tried his best to let them master the extremely important Datang crossbow, and put himself on the cusp of the storm time and time again.
