Chapter 850: Incredible Countermeasures!
Chapter 850
Unlike the Battle of the Southwest, this war did not involve as many civilian casualties and did not involve such a large scale, but it decided the belonging of the Western Regions and the fate of the entire empire. And what Wang Chong knows is even different from Feng Changqing. The effects of this war are far more terrifying than everyone knows.
The impact of this war on the entire Middle Earth and the Tang Dynasty is far from comparable even if it is ten southwestern battles. Because what he decides is not a moment, or the gains and losses of one party, but the future luck of the entire Middle-earth Divine State. When a lion loses its sharp claws, it enters the twilight of old age, and when an empire loses its active external expansion and enterprising spirit, it also enters old age from youth, and is keen on infighting and cannibalism from then on, which is unimaginable to everyone!
Wang Chong has witnessed it with his own eyes and knows that kind of chaos, so no matter what, Wang Chong must not allow Datang to fall into that situation!
Wang Chong's eagerness for this battle was not inferior to Feng Changqing's, but no matter how anxious Wang Chong was, he knew that now was definitely not a good time to send troops.
Whether it is himself or the Protectorate of the Western Empire, they are still far from ready. In this kind of situation without adequate preparation, he rashly dispatched troops, not only could he not help Gao Xianzhi and Anxidu Protectors in the end, but in the end, he would be imprisoned himself, and the Xuanxi Protectors and the Wujue Iron Cavalry would be sent to death.
History has changed, in the last life, the capital of Anxi guarded Gao Xianzhi for thousands of miles, missed the city of Talas by a millimeter, and finally fell into the wilderness, unstoppable, was attacked by the army of the Great Food Empire in turn, and was defeated in the wilderness of the city of Talas under extremely unfavorable circumstances.
But now everything is different, Gao Xianzhi has successfully entered the city of Talas, occupied the opportunity, and has the advantage of geographical advantages. With the strength of the generals of the Gao Xianzhi Empire, plus the help of more than 30,000 elite soldiers and tens of thousands of mercenaries, it is definitely not too difficult to resist the Great Food Army in the wilderness.
Gao Xianzhi's military talent is beyond doubt, and the strength of more than 30,000 Anxi elites is also proud of the entire empire. Back then, in the case of losing the opportunity and geographical advantage, Gao Xianzhi still persisted for nearly a month, and now with the help of Talas City, it is not a problem to hold on for another two months.
This is also the real reason why Wang Chong decided not to send troops for the time being.
"Yes!
Xu Keyi immediately bowed down and took the order.
"Li Siye. ”
Waiting for Xu Keyi to leave, Wang Chong's eyes turned and looked at His Royal Highness, Li Siye, who was as strong as a mountain.
"The last general!"
Li Siye immediately stepped out of the queue.
"How's the matter with Uzigang? Did Arosu and Aroga urge it? Still there's no news?"
Wang Chong asked.
Uzi steel is the thing that Wang Chong is most concerned about, and it is also the most urgent issue now. If there are no accidents, the 10,000 Great Food Empire's most elite Makrumu Legion is preparing for battle on the border. In the history known to Wang Chong, the Makrumu Legion was known as the uncrowned king, and was the real strongest iron cavalry before the end of the world.
Their equipment is so well equipped and their combat effectiveness is so powerful that no one can imagine. And from the moment they are born, they are trained to kill, a real war machine. Although the Wounded Iron Rider is already very powerful, it is not equipped with the Uz Steel Sword and the Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron Armor, and the Wounded Iron Rider is far from its peak state.
The battlefield of Talas, which brings together the most powerful armies of the two great empires of the East and the West, will be much more terrible than everyone imagined.
Wang Chong would never allow the black-wounded iron cavalry he had worked so hard to manage rushed to the battlefield before it was completely formed, and he would be buried there meaninglessly.
"Master Hou, there is already news over there. Arosu and Aroga replied that the High Priest had agreed that the six thousand Jun Hyderabad ore was ready to be taken with them at any time. However, there is a problem now, the Talas side is now in a state of war, and the road from the body poison to Middle-earth has been cut off, and they have no way to transport Hyderabad ore along the normal road. ”
Li Siye said in a loud voice.
"Buzz!"
With Li Siye's words, the people in the entire hall showed nervous looks. The news of the city of Talas completely disrupted everyone's rhythm, and everyone was crazy about the news. Everyone has their own things to do, just like the different parts on a machine, each with its own responsibilities.
The news that Li Siye said was not known to everyone before, but everyone knew the importance of Uzi Steel.
Wang Chong frowned, and suddenly stepped down from the throne.
In the Battle of Talas, the Great Cannibal and the Ansidu Protector are still in a standoff, but some effects have already been revealed. The poisoned High Priest was clearly worried about the adverse effects of this unprecedented battle on this huge deal worth six million taels of gold.
Wang Chong's previous generosity is also beginning to show results. So far, among all the trading partners of Hyderabad ore, Wang Chong is the largest financier. And it also provides the greatest help to the body poison. This loss the high priest could not bear.
That's why the 6,000 Jun of Hyderabad ore will be ready so quickly.
But things were far from going so smoothly, and the war between Gao Xianzhi and Abu* cut off the transportation channel of Hyderabad ore. At this time, if it is transported rashly, it will be intercepted by the Great Food Empire.
Da!
Wang Chong's footsteps echoed throughout the hall, and his footsteps were heavy, as if he had stepped into everyone's hearts. Following Wang Chong's footsteps, everyone's eyes slowly looked at the only sand table in the main hall. Looking at the city symbolizing Talas in the center of the sand table, everyone had an indescribable sense of strangeness in their hearts.
This sand table was made by Wang Chong before the war broke out, and it has been appearing for a long time under everyone's noses. But no one realized what this sandbox meant, until this moment.
"Master Hou! The passage between Middle-earth and the body poison has indeed been cut off, and I have sent a lot of scouts and rock eagles to the past, and near Talas, there are great cannibal soldiers and horses everywhere. I have already checked, between the east and the west, the trade on the Silk Road has been completely blocked. All activities, including the Great Cannibal's business trip, have been suspended. The passage between the east and west has indeed been cut off, and it is impossible for us to pass through that side. ”
Zhang Que stopped a rock eagle on his shoulder, looked at the undulating terrain and mountains on the sand table, and said respectfully behind Wang Chong.
Wang Chong frowned, looked down at the sand table in front of him, and did not speak. On this sand table, all the mountains, rivers, passages, and cities are all clearly marked. This is a combination of a large number of scouts, a lot of time, and a variety of methods used to depict them in detail.
As Zhang Que said, the topography of the city of Talas is very special. It used to be a crossroads between Eastern and Western trades, but when the war broke out, the Silk Road was cut off, and there was no longer a way to go back and forth. Even if Wang Chong promised the poison 6,000 jun, the Hyderabad ore would not be able to be transported at all.
"No!"
Wang Chong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke.
"The passage has not been cut off yet, there is still a passage between Datang and the body poison!"
"Ahh
Hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone was taken aback.
"How is it possible? I've checked, all business travel has stopped coming, there can't be other channels!"
Zhang Que said in surprise.
It's not that he doesn't believe Wang Chong's words, but during this time, he has spent a lot of material resources and manpower to find another channel, but all failed. In addition, if there is another channel, he may not know, but it is impossible for these merchants not to know.
The hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on Wang Chong.
"Whew!"
Wang Chong didn't say much, just took a small red flag and planted it in an inconspicuous position on the sand table. Seeing the location of this small red flag, everyone was stunned, Zhang Que's eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say a word.
Us-Tibetan Plateau!
No one thought that Wang Chong's small flag was actually inserted in the chassis of the Uszang Empire, and he actually wanted to use the Uszang to transport six thousand Jun Hyderabad ore. This kind of thinking is so wild that even the most daring people dare not imagine it.
"It doesn't matter if the Silk Road is cut off, Li Siye, inform the body poison, tell them to pass through the big and small Bolu from the north of the body poison, and use the Wusizang Empire to let them transport six thousand Jun Hyderabad ore!
Wang Chong cut the railway.
"Yes!
Li Siye said without hesitation. He never doubted Wang Chong's decision.
Behind him, everyone in the hall was still immersed in a strong shock, but gradually, as if they understood something, they showed thoughtful expressions one by one. The transport of Hyderabad ore through the Great and Small Blous, as well as through the Uszanggao Plain, is a passage that even the most crazy businessman would not dare to imagine.
The reason is simple, the road is not only rugged and bumpy, but also passes through the territory of the most dangerous Usz-Tibetan Empire. The iron cavalry of the Wusizang Empire not only plundered Longxi, but also plundered merchants traveling from east to west. One of the important reasons why the Tang Dynasty established the capital protectorate and sent garrisons in the west of the city was to prevent the looting of the Wusi-Tibetan Empire.
No merchant would be crazy enough to put his goods on the territory of the robbers.
However, the battle of the triangle gap completely changed the pattern of the western part of the city, Dayan Mangpojie was killed, Dusong Mangbuzhi was defeated and fled, and there were no soldiers and horses in the north of the entire Wusi-Tibet Plateau that could threaten Wang Chong's plan.
Wang Chong's idea seems bold, but it is actually the most appropriate!
Gradually, more and more people in the hall understood, and looked at Wang Chong one by one, their eyes full of admiration. If Wang Chong hadn't taken the initiative to launch the Battle of the Triangle Gap and wiped out the soldiers and horses hidden in the entire northern border, this road would never have existed. Remembering that before the outbreak of the Talas War, Wang Chong made a sand table with it as the core, and it is difficult not to think that Wang Chong had already foreseen all this, so he made preparations in advance and launched the war.
