Chapter 881: Commander of the Great Food!
Chapter eight hundred and eighty first
The 100,000 Qixi reinforcements quickly returned to calm, leaving only the strong smell of blood in the air, and the densely packed corpses of Burkel heavy cavalry in front of the position, which proved the tragedy just now and the power and terror of Datang.
"Don't pay attention to the opposite side, hurry up and build the fortification!"
"Start treating the wounded, and calculate the number of battle casualties!"
"Repair the ballista, check all the equipment again!"
...
Orders were conveyed one by one, all the Tang/armies were busy, but at the same time they appeared to be orderly, and everything was proceeding step by step according to Wang Chong's plan.
At the same time, as the Berkel heavy cavalry under the command of Amur left, all the big cannibals retreated like a tide, and there was no more temptation.
"Your Excellency, Amur failed, and the Tang people did not chase after him!"
Beside Abu Muslim/Lin, Ziad spoke.
Ziad is about thirty-six years old, with a short mustache and brown eyes, which looks like a sword, extremely sharp. As the cannibal vice-governor of the East, and also the adjutant and subordinate of Abu Muslim/Lin, Ziyad shouldered an important role and mission in this operation.
Although the strength is not as strong as Abu Muslim/Lin, Ziyad is also a powerful peak brigadier general, and he is about to step into the top powerhouse of the general level. Not only that, Ziyad is also a rare general, his wisdom and strategy have always been relied on by Abu Muslim/Lin.
In the previous battle, Ziad had been leading the army, arranging the retreating soldiers, and trying to minimize the losses, so he only appeared beside Abu Muslin now.
"Ziyad, what do you think of this new commander of the Tang Dynasty?"
There was silence all around, and I don't know how long it took, Abu Muslin looked ahead and said, his eyes were deep and his expression was calm, no one could see what he was thinking in his heart.
"I don't know, we don't know anything about him..."
Ziad looked forward, frowning, with a thoughtful look in his eyes:
"This person does not belong to Anxi. In this battle, Gao Xianzhi brought out all the top generals in Anxi. There can be no one more powerful than him. This should be sent by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire. I remember that we had I sent spies and scouts to go deep into the inland of the Tang Dynasty to search for news, but I don’t know what happened. Those spies lost contact with the scouts, and they didn’t send back any news. I’m afraid they were discovered and wiped out by the Tang people. Now that I think about it, it’s true It's a pity."
"As for the new commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, although there is no information about him, and we can't see where he is, judging from his performance, this person may have seen through our ambush. And the army he leads is also very powerful In the past, the Tang army led by Gao Xianzhi also used that kind of huge crossbow, but the power is not as terrifying as him, and his accuracy and speed of fire are not comparable to Gao Xianzhi."
"I have a feeling that this new commander-in-chief is probably even stronger than Gao Xianzhi, and he will be difficult to deal with."
"Do you think he is more powerful than that Anxi God of War?"
Abu Muslim/Lin frowned slightly, Ziyad's evaluation was a little surprised. After two months of fierce fighting, Gao Xianzhi and the Anxi Protectorate Army led by him dealt a heavy blow to the Great Cannibal. Before that, Abu Muslim/Lin and the entire Great Cannibal Empire had great ambitions and wanted to sweep the Western Regions with an army of 300,000. , and even occupied the Tang Dynasty, accomplishing a feat never before achieved by the caliphs of all dynasties.
However, with just one Gao Xianzhi and the city of Talas, Abu Muslin and the mighty Dashi army suffered a serious setback. Although as an enemy, Abu Muslim/Lin will never belittle his opponent, that Gao Xianzhi does have the qualifications to be his opponent.
Although, the idea of killing each other in Abmus/Lin's mind has never changed!
But now, Ziyad thinks that the other party's new commander is even more powerful than Gao Xianzhi.
"In terms of strength, I haven't seen him yet,
Unable to determine at this time. But tactics and strategy, my intuition, Gao Xianzhi... I'm afraid I really can't compare with him. "
Ziad said seriously.
Gao Xianzhi was a tenacious opponent. After two months of fierce fighting, dragging the entire Dashi army here was enough to explain the problem. But what Gao Xianzhi relied on was not his own tactics and strategies, but the high walls of the city of Talas. Although the battle was fierce for a long time, the real damage was far from that great.
On the contrary, the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, who has not yet shown up, killed Umar in just one face-to-face, severely damaged the Berkel heavy cavalry of Amur, and killed nearly 100,000 soldiers in this first contact war. Eat soldiers.
——And the newly-appeared Datang reinforcements this time are only more than 100,000 people!
This alone is worthy of Ziyad's unprecedented attention to the new commander-in-chief of Datang. What's more, the new commander-in-chief has not yet borrowed any city.
Abu Muslim/Lin fell silent for an instant, and a serious look appeared in his eyes. Fighting side by side with Ziyad for so many years, Abu Muslin/Lin has always trusted Ziyad's judgment and intuition. After working together for more than ten years, Abu Muslin/Lin has never seen Ziyad before. In the case of the commander in chief of the other party, he gave such a high evaluation.
"Boom!"
While thinking, a sudden roar came from the front. This sound was completely different from any previous roar, and quickly attracted the attention of Abu Muslin and Ziad. The two raised their heads, and in the distance, they could see behind Datang's army, countless craftsmen and soldiers working together to install strange, huge, silver-white rectangular boxes full of holes in an orderly manner. To those tall walls of steel.
Seeing this scene, the two cannibal supreme commanders all changed their colors, and their eyes showed anger.
Although they don't know what kind of secrets those silver-white rectangular boxes hold, but based on their experience, they can tell at a glance that they are undoubtedly some kind of powerful defensive equipment. With those silver-white rectangular boxes and tall steel walls, it was immediately obvious what those Tang people were doing.
——They are so naked, in front of more than 200,000 Dashi troops, and under their noses, unscrupulously building large-scale fortifications!
This is simply a kind of provocation!
In the west of Congling Ridge, Dashi is synonymous with terror and destruction, and it is the object of all empires and forces to turn pale. In the past history, there has never been any opponent who dared to humiliate more than 200,000 Dashi troops like this.
"asshole!"
Ziad clenched his fists fiercely, his eyes soaring with murderous intent. Although Abu Muslim/Lin did not speak, his expression darkened.
"Your Excellency, let our entire army press down and defeat the entire army of the Tang people! They are simply too presumptuous!"
A voice came from the side, and all the big food generals around Abu Muslin looked over, with raging flames burning in their eyes. The cannibal's bravery is world-renowned, and Umar's death and defeat does not represent the entire army of the cannibal, not to mention that the real main force of the cannibal has not yet made a move.
Once turned around, the war will be very different from before.
"enough!"
Abu Muslim/Lin suddenly let out a low cry, his expression extremely cold. In an instant, all the big food generals were silent, and each of them lowered their heads, with a look of awe in their eyes:
"I have my own claim!"
"Pass my order, all the troops will retreat and reorganize!"
"Yes, Governor!"
A herald next to him said tremblingly.
Abu Muslin/Lin's eyes were filled with anger, and he stopped talking. His eyes were looking at the Tang/army in front of him, his eyes were changing, and no one knew what he was thinking. The Tang people must be eliminated, and the Western Regions must be brought under the territory of the Great Food Empire. He is the first Eastern governor who defeated the Great Tang.
But before that, any decision must be prudent and never act recklessly.
"Clatter!"
Just when Abu Muslim/Lin was about to assemble the army and launch the attack of the Tang people after rectification, there was a sudden sound of vibrating wings from the top of the head, whoosh, a black carrier pigeon flew down from the sky like lightning, Once the wings were retracted, they landed on Abu Muslin's arms.
Goo-goo, the black homing pigeon let out bursts of calls, on the arm of Abu Muslin, walking slowly, on its right foot, everyone saw a rolled up White snow paper.
"Buzz!"
Seeing this black carrier pigeon, the other Dashi generals hadn't reacted yet, but Abu Muslin and Ziad glanced at each other, and they both saw the same astonishment and surprise in each other's eyes. Taking the snow paper from the legs of the black carrier pigeon, and slowly unfolding it, Abu Muslin just glanced at it, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"My lord, what did the letter say?"
Ziad took a step forward and said.
Abu Muslim/Lin didn't speak, but just handed over the snow note in his hand.
"this……"
After reading the content on the snow note, Ziad's expression also became subtle, and his pair of brown eyes gradually became brighter.
"All the troops listen to the order, the army is purged, the action is suspended, and we will fight against the Tang people tomorrow!"
"Yes, my lord!"
...
At the same time, in the distance, outside the city of Talas.
"Master Hou, retreat, the big cannibal really retreated this time!"
Next to Wang Chong, Zhang Que covered his forehead with one hand, seeing the Dashi army retreating like a tide, he couldn't help but excitedly said. Zhang Que was not a combatant, so after the air battle ended, he stayed by Wang Chong's side. Xu Keyi, Chen Burang, Sun Zhiming, Zhuang Buping, Chi Weisi, Zhao Jingdian, including Wang Chong's father Wang Yan and eldest brother Wang Fu, all dispersed to the front line, commanded the army, and deployed defenses. Instead, only Zhang Que and a few other people were left.
"It's not that simple, this battle...has just begun!"
Wang Chong's robes swung lightly, and he looked at the retreating Great Food Legion in front of him, with his hands behind his back, and said with a calm smile.
