Chapter 927 Generals Gather, Strategic Deduction (Part 2)

Chapter Nine Hundred and Twenty Seven

"Actually, I think that Datang's fighting power is no worse than that of the Great Cannibal. Lord Gao Xianzhi has only 70,000 soldiers and horses, but he has resisted the Great Cannibal in Talas for more than two months. Even Abu Muslim/Lin can't do anything about it According to what we Banakhan people know about the cannibals, this kind of war has never happened before. And my lord, in the two wars from yesterday to today, although the cannibals had an absolute advantage in strength, they came again They have gained a new ally, but they are still not the lord's opponent. More than 100,000 people died in the two wars, but Datang's losses were very limited. It is unimaginable for the country."

"In the entire continent, among all the countries, the only one who can defeat the cannibal is Datang. In the eyes of us mercenaries, Datang is actually the most powerful country. This is why we are willing to fight with Datang. The reason for fighting side by side."

Fergana, the leader of the Banana Khan tribe who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with an extremely sincere expression.

The Anxi Protectorate Army has always had two major allies, one is Ge Luolu and the other is Banakhan. The leader of Ge Luolu, Wanhe Peiluo, was dead, and among the mercenaries, only Fergana could speak in front of Gao Xianzhi.

What Fergana said surprised everyone in the hall. No one thought that the leader of Banakhan had a higher belief in Datang than anyone else. The originally heavy atmosphere in the hall disappeared in an instant, and even Wang Chong couldn't help showing a smile.

Banakhan really deserved to be Datang's most loyal ally.

"However, now we are under attack from both sides. No matter which side we attack, we will be attacked by the other side. If we don't solve this problem, we will definitely lose in the end."

At this moment, a voice suddenly interjected. Before the voice fell, the atmosphere that was eased by Fergana disappeared immediately. All eyes looked over and looked at the sand table with a thoughtful face, still unaware of the changes in the surroundings. Perhaps because of the strange silence around him, Gu Li finally sensed something, raised his head, realized that he had slipped his words, and immediately changed his face.

The Ge Luolu tribe colluded with Dashi, and Wanhe Peiluo was killed when the incident was revealed. Now Ge Luolu is at the juncture of a crisis of trust. If he took any extraordinary actions at this time and angered Datang, I am afraid that the Ge Luolu Department would really be devastated.

"Gu Li is right. It is a big taboo in the art of war to attack the enemy from the back. If we don't solve this problem, it will be difficult for us to concentrate all our energy and deal with the big cannibal with peace of mind."

Just when Gu Li felt panicked and full of despair, a sonorous and forceful voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and Wang Chong suddenly spoke at this moment.

"Master Protector!"

At this moment, Gu Li seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and the whole person immediately settled down. I don't know the details of Wang Chong, I can only see his sixteen or seventeen-year-old appearance, but as long as I know a little bit, I will know that the status of this young man in front of him is not inferior to that of Gao Xianzhi in Talas. Even worse than that, after all the more than 100,000 troops outside the city are all commanded by him.

"However, this matter is not too difficult to solve. Although Abu Muslin/Lin can continuously obtain soldiers and horses from Dashi nearby, the other party is not necessarily."

Wang Chong opened his mouth and said, his gaze was firm, like a rock, without any wavering, as if there were no difficulties in the world that could defeat him, and anyone who saw his gaze would be infected invisibly, thus strengthening their beliefs, Have confidence in him.

"Uzang and Western Turks have a total of 120,000 troops. The first war has consumed more than 40,000 of their soldiers and horses, leaving only about 70,000. From now on, Daqin Ruozan will be very cautious Be careful. I won’t be as adventurous as before. Every point he consumes is a point less. And if I remember correctly, the Mu Chi cavalry is the force that guards the capital of Uzang King. Now the king is fine. ,

Mu Chi's cavalry appeared in Talas, no accident, this should be the army that Daqin Ruozan secretly summoned against the intention of the king of Tibet! It was impossible for him to recruit any more reinforcements from Uzang. "

"Buzz!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Wang Chong's words. Even Gao Xianzhi's eyelids twitched, revealing a thoughtful expression. In this war, many people only paid attention to the war itself, but did not pay attention to things other than the war. Even Gao Xianzhi was no exception.

The Anxi Protectorate Army has too many things for him to deal with. It's not that he couldn't detect it, it's just that Wang Chong's strategic considerations are far more sensitive than all the generals here, including him.

"You mean, this is a war started by one person?"

Gao Xianzhi said with a face full of thought.

"You can't go wrong!"

Wang Chong said calmly, that kind of deep gaze seemed to penetrate everything.

"Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang were defeated in the southwest, and Dusong Mangbuchi fought in the triangle gap. These three people almost lost all their troops. Even if the king of Tibet is more enlightened, it will never be so short Moreover, if it was really the order of the Tibetan king, more than 70,000 troops will come. In addition, although Du Wusili is known as the Sirius General and is powerful, he only has 40,000 troops under his command. A large number of them are giant blue wolves brought from the Western Turkic Grassland. I think Sabolo Khan’s intention of probing has already been revealed.”

"There will be no reinforcements from the Western Turkic Khanate!"

Those who count more temples win, and those who count fewer temples lose. As a general, you must not only think about what is in front of you, calculate what you see in the battlefield, but also calculate what you cannot see outside the battlefield. Including logistics, troops, supplies, politics, etc. In this battle, Wang Chong not only paid attention to the field, but also paid attention to the off field.

Whether Daqin Ruozan was willing or not, Wang Chong had already gotten what he wanted from this war. In this battle, Daqin Ruozan was actually putting all his eggs in one basket, and his situation was far from being as good as it appeared on the surface.

Wang Chong downplayed it, and immediately analyzed the situation everyone was facing clearly in a few sentences. For a while, the hall was dead silent, and everyone showed a look of contemplation. The originally seemingly complicated situation, which was extremely unfavorable to everyone, suddenly became clearer in everyone's mind after Wang Chong's recounting.

"As for Dashi, although Talas is closer to Dashi, don't forget that we are not fighting alone. Standing behind us is the entire Great Tang. As long as we persist for a while, our reinforcements will continue to flow in the future. ! This is completely different from Western Turks and Dashi.”

Wang Chong said loudly, his voice was sonorous and resounding.

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly relaxed, and Fergana and Gu Li also lifted their spirits. It is true that Abu Muslim/Lin is backed by the huge Dashi Empire, but on the side of the Anxi Protectorate Army, there is also the huge Datang Empire behind it.

The power of Datang is well-known even in the entire Western Regions, which is why many mercenary tribes in the Western Regions are willing to fight side by side with Datang against Dashi.

"What Master Protector said is that I believe that Datang will win the final victory no matter what, and our Ge Luolu tribe will follow to the death!"

Gu Li glanced at Wang Chong gratefully, and expressed his loyalty without losing the opportunity. If Wang Chong hadn't spoken just now, he might have become the target of public criticism. Gu Li also gradually admired the new Qixi Chief Protector more and more.

"Okay, let's talk about this later, let's discuss the evening issue first, if there is no accident, Abu Muslim/Lin and Daqin Ruozan will definitely take action at night."

As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, his eyes quickly focused on the sand table in the hall.

"ah?"

Gu Li was startled, and said in a daze:

"My lord, aren't you going to call this afternoon?"

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, and Cheng Qianli all laughed in the hall. Although Gu Li took over Wanhe Peiluo's position and became the new leader of Ge Luolu, his military sensitivity and strategic Self-cultivation is still far behind.

"Don't worry, if Abu Muslim/Lin prepares to fight again in the afternoon, he won't retreat in the morning."

Wang Chong waved his hand and said with a faint smile:

"Besides, he needs to deal with the post-war work. It is impossible for him to start two wars in such a short period of time. Even if he wants to, Daqin Ruozan will never agree. All his energy will only Focus on night raids at night!"

In Shangdang Famou, all generals will consider night attack after losing the battle during the day, because compared with the day, the night has more advantages, for example, the opponent will not always be alert, the more intense the battle during the day, The drowsiness is getting heavier.

Moreover, the cover of night can also make it easier for the army to approach the opponent, and at the same time greatly weaken the power of the archers and crossbows, making it even more difficult to aim.

"That's true. Based on what I know about Abu Muslim/Lin, he is an extremely aggressive person, and he will definitely not let go of the opportunity at night. In addition, Daqin Ruozan will definitely be prepared, so The risks at night are no less than during the day. However, this is also our opportunity."

Anxi Metropolitan Protector Gao Xianzhi also spoke at this time:

"Soldiers never tire of cheating. Although our military strength is not as large as that of Western Turks and Uzbekistan, we have one of the biggest advantages, that is, the steel wall and the city of Talas, which Abu Muslim/Lin does not have. Great Cannibals can attack us at night, and we can also attack them. In addition, we can also take this opportunity to spy on some news."

Wang Chong listened to these words, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Many people only know that Gao Xianzhi uses his troops like a god, and his attacks are fast and violent, and he often appears in unexpected places. However, not many people know that Gao Xianzhi has another characteristic that is "he never tires of deception".

With this trick, he conquered countless countries in the Western Regions.

Although in Confucianism, it may be shameless, but in terms of the art of war, Wang Chong agrees with it very much.
