Chapter 849

"My lord, what should we do next?"

His Highness was quiet. Everyone was looking at Wang Chong. Under the influence of Wang Chong, everyone's expression was extremely dignified. If it was before, everyone thought that Dashi was a small and insignificant country, and they might not care about this battle, but as witnesses at the forefront, everyone knew deeply what kind of enemy they were facing.

This country has a more extensive land than Datang, a larger military force, stronger horses, and the most powerful ambitions for territorial expansion. This is Datang's most powerful enemy on this land.

Gao Xianzhi had already led nearly 90% of the entire Anxi Protectorate's troops into the city of Talas, and behind him lay a flat plain. If Gao Xianzhi couldn't block the forces deployed by the Dashi Empire in the east, then tens of thousands of Dashi soldiers and horses would cross the Congling Ridge, march straight in, and occupy the entire Western Region.

And soon after, Qixi will bear the brunt.

Once Qixi fell, the whole of Longxi, as well as the inland of Tang Dynasty, would also be threatened.

——Historical history, the food army is approaching the gate of the entire Middle-earth, and everyone will feel the strong threat of this distant country.

These, when Wang Chong performed the sand table deduction before, everyone had already clearly understood this point.

Wang Chong didn't speak, but closed his eyes and thought silently.

This battle happened too suddenly and too fast, he needed to calm down and think carefully. There are still too many preparations that have not been completed, and the sudden outbreak of the Battle of Talas completely disrupted his plan.

"Li Siye, send an order to open the Qixi Armory..."

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chong finally opened his eyes, and a burst of blazing light burst out from them.

"Boom!"

A moment later, with a roar of steel, the Qixi armory, which had been dusty for a long time, was opened with a bang, and the sunlight shone down, finally shining into the largest armory on the border. The crossbow was forged by the Ministry of Tool Industry and stamped with the royal seal of the imperial court. After more than ten years of being dusty, it finally saw the light of day again, shining brightly.

"Stop! You can't do this!"

"No one can enter without a handbook! Stop!"

...

Several guards of Qixi Armory shouted,

However, no one paid attention to their words.

"The general is outside, and the emperor's order is not acceptable", "Things can be done according to the scriptures, but also according to the power", as a general, one should adapt to the situation. Now that the war is imminent, these crossbows are the best war weapons, which can maximize the combat effectiveness of Datang. One hundred thousand chariot crossbows, in the past time, the Qixi chief guards of all dynasties, including Fumeng Lingcha, all abided by the rules and did not dare to go beyond without authorization.

But Wang Chong is different, he will never stick to the old rules.

"Boom!"

When Wang Chong led the army into the Qixi Armory, at the same time, there was a roar, and the indifferent voice of the Stone of Destiny immediately sounded in Wang Chong's mind:

"A special event, a choice of fate!"

Following this burst of sound, endless light and shadow changes, rumbling, a huge city rose from the ground, appeared in Wang Chong's perception, the earth swelled, with that huge city as the boundary, thousands of people A black battle flag and a sea of ​​yellow dragon flags on one side. The moment the two sides came into contact, they rushed together...

Wang Chong paused in his heart, and immediately stopped.

"The wheel of history is turning slowly. No matter how many tributaries it has waded through, it will eventually return to the original context. There cannot be two tigers on one mountain, and two huge empires cannot exist on the same land at the same time. This is a war that is destined to be unavoidable! Two empires , only one can roar proudly at the top of the kingdoms, while the other will decline rapidly and fall into the 'old age of the lion'!!"

Hearing the last sentence, Wang Chong was shocked, but all this is far from over.

"... A lion loses its aggressive minions, just like an eagle loses its wings. This is the twilight years of a lion, and it is also a choice of fate!"

"As the controller of destiny, the host has one and only special treatment. After paying 8000 destiny energy points, the host can choose to save and exit, or the host can choose to enter actively and get 2000 destiny energy points as a reward."

"Warning, once you choose to enter actively, the host will face great danger, the mission will fail, the empire will fall, and the host will be wiped out together!"

...

Wang Chong listened to the voice in his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. 8000 Destiny Energy Points, so in the battle of the triangle gap, if you don't exchange for the "Fate Armor", you can actually be exempted. But even if there is such an opportunity, will he really quit?

"confirm!"

Wang Chong smiled lightly, without the slightest nostalgia, and stepped into the Qixi Armory in an instant.

...

"Clatter!"

The black falcon climbed over the mountains and flew in all directions. The situation of Talas City was not only spread to Qixi, but also spread to the capital, and sparked a fierce debate in the court.

"Your Majesty, we should send troops immediately to support Lord Gao Xianzhi!"

"The 30,000 elite soldiers are deeply involved. It is no small matter. If the Anxi Protectorate Army is defeated, Suiye, Shule and other Anxi towns will also fall, and the entire Anxi will also fall! We should quickly send troops to support Anxi."

...

In the court hall, several military generals complained generously, expressing their pain.

"absurd!"

As soon as the voices of the few people fell, a minister who had a good relationship with King Qi immediately stood up and sternly reprimanded:

"Mr. Gao Xianzhi uses soldiers like a god. From joining the army to the present, Mr. Gao has been almost invincible in the entire Western Region. Now that the Stone Kingdom has fallen, Mr. Gao sent his troops westward and successfully occupied Talas City. With Mr. Gao With the ability, Dashi will be defeated in a short time, why are you talking about sending troops at this time? Are you all in a daze?"

Although King Qi and King Song have always been at odds with each other, and the two factions have always been arguing in the court and refusing to give in to each other, but this time, it is not purely a personal enmity. In the entire Tang Dynasty, among all the generals and generals, there is no more dazzling record than Anxi's general guard Gao Xianzhi.

Although his qualifications are not deep, he can't compare with other generals and generals, but his military skills and astonishing achievements are unmatched by the generals and generals of other prefectures. Even in the military and the imperial court, Gao Xianzhi was nicknamed General Changsheng!

Since taking the position of Chief Protector until now, Gao Xianzhi has never been defeated, and his tactics are erratic, and he is very good at preempting strikes. It was precisely because of his personal superpower and the terrifying combat power of the Anxi Protectorate Army that he was able to suppress the countries of the Western Regions with a mere tens of thousands of horses, making all nations bow their heads, and the Western Regions were as solid as gold, and they remained safe and sound.

This time, although Gao Xianzhi's troops trapped the city of Talas, many people believed that this was Gao Xianzhi's strategy. In the end, Gao Xianzhi would still defeat the big cannibal and win the victory.

After all, this kind of situation has also appeared in the past, and there are not a few of them. Gao Xianzhi defeated the strong with the weak, and defeated the strong with the few, proving his ability. What's more, Dashi is just a "mere" small country.

"But things are different this time. This time the request letter was sent by Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi's lieutenant general. I think this war should be taken more seriously!"

One of the generals is still trying to convince everyone.

"Lord Xue, don't worry. Master Gao will be fine!"

A censor said lightly.

The debate ended without a problem, and Feng Changqing's request for help did not cause much disturbance in the court. Gao Xianzhi is good at blitzkrieg, many people thought that this time, it would not be long before Anxi would report victory again. But ten days later, when Gao Xianzhi was still besieged in Talas by a request for help from the Western Regions, everyone finally changed their expressions slightly.

No matter how slow the reaction was, people knew that this time was different from the past. Gao Xianzhi, the "Spear of the Empire" of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, met an extremely powerful opponent.

...

While the capital was still debating how to deal with Anxi's request for help, at this moment, there were signs of war in Qixi and Wushang.

All the Qixi Guards are in units of 10,000 people, and they practice day and night. And the five thousand black-scarred iron cavalry are also preparing their troops vigorously and actively preparing. Bows and arrows, crossbows, knives, axes, and halberds were continuously transported from the Qixi armory and distributed to the entire army.

The entire Qixi Protectorate Army, with five people as a unit, each equipped with a crossbow and two hundred crossbow arrows, quickly formed a "army of crossbows" equipped with two thousand crossbows. When Wang Chong was in Dayanmangbojie's night attack, the "carriage crossbow team" strategy that had just shown its edge was rapidly showing its edge and forming a combat effectiveness.

Although the 10,000-man army is only equipped with 2,000 crossbows, the unique crossbow team tactics have a clear division of labor, quick adjustments, and frequent launches, which can maximize the power of this heavy weapon of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of lethality, it is still five to ten times higher than before.

This is a new type of tactics created by Wang Chong for crossbows!

"Master Hou, Lord Feng Changqing has sent a letter asking for help again. How should we reply, or should we refuse?"

In the main hall, one of Wang Chong's famous generals gathered here. Xu Keyi held a letter, looked at Wang Chong on the main hall, and asked with a bow.

"Tell Lord Feng, give me two months, and after two months, I will definitely send troops to Talas to help Lord Gao."

Wang Chong said with a straight face.

Taluosi was in a hurry, Gao Xianzhi was trapped, Feng Changqing asked for help one after another, and they were sent to Qixi like snowflakes non-stop. In just ten days, Wang Chong has received at least twenty or thirty letters. Feng Changqing is Gao Xianzhi's lieutenant general and his right-hand man. The two are known as the "Double Walls of the Empire". Qing made a deep impression on him.

Every letter written by Feng Changqing reveals a deep anxiety and anxiety between the lines. The imperial court has not realized the urgency and seriousness of this war until now, but Wang Chong and Feng Changqing are deeply aware that this is far from being as simple as a border war.
