Chapter eight hundred and sixty four

Wang Chong's prophet is really shocking!

Wang Liang still doesn't know it. He has never gone out, sailed across the sea, and has never even seen a seagull. How could he know that there are so many exposed meteorites on the island thousands or tens of thousands of miles away. This point is really amazing, but also puzzling at the same time.

But even so, there is one thing Wang Liang is sure of.

——Those extraterrestrial irons exposed on the islands are so precious that when you just think about returning to the voyage, there are so many extraterrestrials exposed on those small islands that no one has discovered, embalming the heavenly objects, Wang Liang felt unbearable. And maybe it will be snatched away by those aristocratic families with ulterior motives.

Therefore, after careful calculation, Wang Liang temporarily changed the waterline of the fleet, greatly increasing the carrying capacity of the building ships. Originally, at least two shipments were needed, but Wang Liang directly used one trip to deliver the goods.

This is also the real reason why his fleet arrived in Middle-earth Great Tang after so long behind schedule.

"Ho-ha!"

I only heard the sound of the fleet's chant resounding through the pier, and then, the densely packed crew members, cooperating inside and outside, began to unload the cargo to the pier busily!

...

"boom!"

When Wang Liang arrived in Middle Earth with the meteorite from the sky, and a carrier pigeon flew to Wushang, the whole city of steel was excited. The last link in Wang Chong's plan was finally completed. With the Meteorite Iron, Wang Chong can forge a large amount of indestructible armor, and the last flaw of the black-scarred cavalry has been completely made up for.

"Pass down the order, let all the aristocratic families in the capital cooperate, and work day and night to transport the meteoric iron from the outer space to the city of steel at the fastest speed. Time is urgent, the forging of the meteoric iron from the outer space does not need to be completed in the capital, and all of them are changed to iron and steel. The city is underway!"

In the city of steel, Wang Chong's mansion received Wang Liang's news, and Wang Chong's spirit was greatly lifted. A hawk passed through the window, flew out like an arrow, and disappeared in the direction of the capital.

Following Wang Chong's order, countless special-made vehicles suddenly appeared on the concrete road from the capital to Wushang. These vehicles were loaded with meteorite iron like hills, and they kept heading towards the city of steel day and night. . There are countless cavalry escorts along the way, and on the Silk Road, there are countless bandits and horse bandits, not for robbery, but for the safety of these extraterrestrial meteorites.

——Wang Bo, the second elder brother of Wang Chong,

All the way westward, a large number of bandits and horse bandits were subdued, and at this time it finally showed its effect.

At this moment, Wang Chong's plan was finally completed. The entire city of steel was like an invisible whirlpool. Countless materials, steel, and troops rushed towards this whirlpool.

"Ho! Ha!"

The sound of the army's training continued day and night, resounding through the sky. The entire Qixi area, centered on the City of Steel, has gathered 60,000 mercenaries from various tribes in the Western Regions, 8,000 soldiers from the Gangke tribe, and 12,000 soldiers from the big and small Bo The regular army hired by the law, and the Tang side, gathered 20,000 Qixi Capital Guards, 5,000 heavily armed black-scarred cavalry, and 20,000 elite infantry led by Wang Chong's father Wang Yan and his elder brother Wang Fu. Soldiers, 8,000 elite Annan Protectorate Army who had experienced the Battle of the Southwest, and 10,000 extra regular troops sent by the imperial court. A total of 143,000 troops gathered in the city of steel.

In addition, Wang Chong also used the 10 million taels of gold given by the imperial court to buy a large amount of cattle and sheep from various tribes in the Western Regions to supplement logistics supplies.

In addition, all kinds of food, ordnance, and steel modules are piled up like mountains in the city of steel!

The entire city of steel became a veritable war machine. At this moment, even the Tibetans of Uzbekistan in the Western Regions could feel the strong atmosphere of war in the city of steel.

The battle is imminent!

Time passed slowly, and it was getting closer and closer to the departure time of the army. At the same time, from Qixi to the west, the line of sight crosses Anxi, Congling, and a distance of seven or eight hundred miles to the distant city of Talas. At this time, the surrounding area was filled with darkness, and there were dense cavalry and infantry everywhere.

Countless iron cavalry and infantry merged into an endless torrent of steel, encircling the city of Talas layer after layer, impenetrable.

The army was silent, without making a sound, and the oppressive atmosphere was simply suffocating.

"My lord, today is the seventh time that the big cannibals have launched an attack. It has been almost two months. Not only has their strength not decreased, but they have increased in number. It seems that they can't kill them all. !"

The tall and majestic Talas City is famous in the Western Regions, but at this moment, it is smoky, the walls are criss-crossed, and there are traces of war everywhere. On the tall walls, a tall and burly general and Gao Xianzhi Standing side by side, deep anxiety and uneasiness appeared between their brows.

"knew."

Gao Xianzhi said lightly, with long hair fluttering at the temples. His expression was stern, his eyes were fixed on the vast sea of ​​soldiers and horses below him, and he remained motionless. For nearly two months, Gao Xianzhi's face was full of wind and frost. If he hadn't seen it, who would have believed it? This is the handsome and elegant God of War who claims to be invincible and invincible in the Western Regions?

As the most famous general in the northwestern border of the Tang Empire, and also the top combat power in the entire Middle-earth, Gao Xianzhi, who was at the peak of the Saint Martial Realm, had killed countless powerful opponents. After a fierce battle, Gao Xianzhi's robe was not even stained with blood.

In this world, there are only a handful of people who can threaten Gao Xianzhi, a general of the empire.

But now, not only Gao Xianzhi's hair and beard and skirt were covered with blood, but even the breast shield on his chest was broken. The almost indestructible "Cloud Swallowing Armor", bestowed by the Holy Emperor, was punched out with countless gaps and cracks by another sharper weapon. And dark red blood flowed out of the crack!

Even if Gao Xianzhi, who is the commander in chief of the army, is like this, one can imagine the intensity and cruelty of the war experienced by the Anxi Protectorate Army in the past two months.

After fighting for more than ten years and winning countless opponents, Gao Xianzhi never imagined that here, west of Congling, he would meet the most powerful opponents he had ever encountered in his life, Abu Mu/Srin and his Food army!

"How about today's army casualties?"

Gao Xianzhi's voice resounded on the city wall, making it impossible to feel the slightest emotional fluctuation in his heart.

"There are countless damages to all kinds of ordnance, and all the crossbows are almost exhausted. In addition, the Banahan tribe lost 8,000 soldiers and horses, the Grolu tribe lost 6,000, and we lost 6,000. Up to now, only three of our 70,000 horses are left. In addition, there are still a considerable number of wounded soldiers, my lord, we can't last long. We need reinforcements!!"

The general said anxiously.

"Is there still no news from Anxi?"

Gao Xianzhi said calmly.

"yes!"

The rough-looking general gritted his teeth and said:

"In the past two months, we have been asking Anxi for help. Letters fly out like snowflakes every day. General Feng replied that he has tried his best to ask for reinforcements from the imperial court, but the reinforcements have never arrived. My lord, This subordinate will write a letter to General Feng to ask for news!"

"No need."

Unexpectedly, Gao Xianzhi waved his hand and refused.

"grown ups……"

Hearing this sentence, the general looked astonished and was stunned.

"Pass on my order. From now on, there is no need to send any letters for help! Because...there are no soldiers left."

Gao Xianzhi said lightly.

Hearing this sentence, the general beside him was stunned and could no longer speak.

Gao Xianzhi didn't speak, but a complex expression flashed in his eyes. His eyes slowly swept across the ground, toward the endless distance. Gao Xianzhi knew he was wrong, this battle had already been lost, and the Anxi Protectorate Army had no hope at all.

He has always advocated quick battles and quick decisions. Whether it was an attack on the Stone Kingdom or a blitz attack on the city of Talas, Gao Xianzhi believed that there was nothing wrong with his strategy. His only mistake was underestimating his opponent.

"One mountain cannot contain two tigers. Unexpectedly, there is an opponent as powerful as Datang on this land!..."

Gao Xianzhi's mind went up and down one after another.

The Great Tang was the most powerful empire in the world, no matter whether it was Goguryeo, Turkic, Uz-Tibet, or the countries of the Western Regions, they could not rival it. This was always a deep-rooted idea in Gao Xianzhi's mind. After many years of fighting in the Western Regions, this concept has never changed. As the general of the empire and the protector of Anxi, Gao Xianzhi had also investigated Dashi, and knew deeply that Dashi was far stronger than other Western Regions, and he was his strongest opponent in the Western Regions.

Gao Xianzhi had never underestimated Dashi, but at the moment when he met Dashi in battle, Gao Xianzhi really knew how powerful this opponent's potential was.

From the initial 200,000 soldiers and horses, it has grown to more than 300,000 now, and the total number of troops is still growing, as if there is no end... This opponent is far more terrifying and powerful than I imagined. This is not an opponent that is stronger than the countries of the Western Regions, or similar to the Uzbek Empire.

This is a "colossus" as terrifying as Datang!

To defeat such a powerful opponent, it is not something that the Anxi Protectorate can do.

The war lasted for two months. At the very beginning, Gao Xianzhi also hoped that with the excellent equipment and the fortification of the city of Talas, he could resist the vast sea-like attack of the big cannibals, and finally welcome reinforcements from the court. But now, Gao Xianzhi has become more and more aware that all this is impossible.

The current Datang has no soldiers to use!

Longxi, Beiting, Annan, Anton..., as the chief guardian of Anxi, no one knows better than him what kind of opponents these four places are facing. The big cannibals are so lucky, because they don't have that many opponents at all. And Datang is too unfortunate, because it has too many opponents around it.

Datangkong has hundreds of thousands of troops, but because of the many enemies around, it is impossible to mobilize many people.

Feng Changqing did say in a letter that the imperial court promised to send troops as soon as possible. But Gao Xianzhi understood that it was nothing more than empty words - the imperial court had no soldiers to fear!

The fate of the 30,000 Anxi Protectorate Army, 40,000 Banakhan and Ge Luolu's army was actually doomed from the moment they entered the city of Talas.
