Chapter 1227: Uncle and Nephew's Ambition

Inspecting the barracks has become something Qin Ying must do every day, starting once a day, and by the fourth day of the siege, it has developed to three times a day.

He had to keep abreast of the ideological dynamics of the various battalions in the army at all times, and the number of deserters was increasing by several hundred every day, and if this continued, it would not take a few days to completely collapse.

This is also the reason why Du Zhou said that he was adventurous!

However, Qin Ying's adventure was also to lure Abbas into taking the bait, if it weren't for that, with that veteran of a hundred battles, how could he not see the cattiness in it?

In fact, the main forces that Qin Ying counted on were all his personal retinues from the Shenwu Army, as well as the main force of the Persian army of about 2,000, and the rest of the newly recruited soldiers, neither their sense of belonging nor combat effectiveness could be expected to face stronger pressure.

All the sacrifices were worth it in order to drag Abbas to the dead on this nameless riverbank, and then launch further surprise attacks to defeat him once and for all.

Du Zhou chose to support Qin Ying at this time, as the prime minister's envoy, he was originally urging him to return to Dutuoduo, but now he also took the risk with him.

The faces of the two young people were full of antiquity and excitement at the same time, although there was a trace of worry mixed in them, but the desire to make achievements had given them a strong heart, able to calmly face all the unbearable pressures of ordinary people.

"Brother Qin, with the current situation of the Persians, how many days can they last?"

Qin Ying glanced at Du Zhou and replied:

"How long it can last, it mainly depends on when Abbas launches a strong attack, they are always so disturbed by the slightest attack, but it is not easy to do it with all their might!"

His brow furrowed, twisted into a Sichuan shape.

"Abbas, the old fox, should have seen the tactics of attack and harassment, and wanted to make the Persian army collapse on its own!"

Du Zhou's judgment coincided with Qin Ying's, and they had already seen Abbas's thoughts.

However, Qin Ying did not think that Abbas would carry out this strategy to the end, and with what he knew about this opponent he had never met in recent months, Abbas was not good at patience.

"Then it depends on who can endure more!"

After that, Qin Ying and Du Zhou looked at each other and laughed.

After inspecting the barracks, Qin Ying summoned all the generals above the centurion level to carry out ideological mobilization.

The so-called ideological mobilization is also a must-have in the Shenwu Army, but when there is a big war, it is necessary almost every day, and once every three or five days when it is free.

In order to strengthen the sense of belonging of the soldiers to the army.

The centurions and millurions who were selected through layers of tests had a higher degree of loyalty to the newly formed Persian state than ordinary soldiers, and their origins were mainly merchants of the old Persian aristocracy, and they all had a high degree of consistency in their beliefs, whether out of family interests or ethnic interests.

Therefore, as long as Qin Ying controls the officers above the centurion, he can ensure that the Persian army can face danger and pressure to the greatest extent.

"After this battle, our Persian army will be reborn, and I will no longer have to fear the intimidation and oppression of the big dog thief, I hope you will work together with me!"

"I am willing to share weal and woe with the general!"

The generals immediately stood up and clenched their fists and promised!

The crowd in the military tent was excited, and they forgot for a moment that they were in a situation of heavy siege.

At the same time, Abbas and his nephew Iprahim continued their strategy of harassment, but although it was successful for several days, it did not cause the Persian army to collapse.

Iprahim is a young man after all, and his temperament is a little impatient, and although he has made great progress in the process of leading alone in the past six months, he still wants to fight quickly without a fight.

Only old Abbas sat in the military tent and drank the tea soup from the East, which was mixed with goat's milk to cover up the bitter taste of the tea bricks, and had a lot of milky aroma and mutton smell, which was obviously more suitable for his taste.

After drinking a bowl, Abbas poured another bowl, looked at his nephew, who seemed to be sitting on the coals of fire, and said in a deep voice:

"Drink a bowl of tea soup first, the good things of the Orientals, and you can also taste their temperament from it!"

This kind of tea soup mixed with goat's milk Ipraxin has also been drunk, but he definitely doesn't like this taste, and he will not hide his preference for eating and drinking in front of his uncle, so he directly frowned and shook his head.

"My nephew can't get used to drinking this kind of bitter thing, so it's better to drink a bowl of sweet and mellow wine!"

Abbas raised his eyebrows, and did not look up at him, but said with some self-care:

"Can't you get used to drinking? Can't you avoid war with the Tang people if you are not used to fighting them?"

"This, how can this be compared in one place?"

Faced with his nephew's rebuttal, Abbas said unhurriedly:

"The temperament of the Tang people is like this tea soup, although pepper and goat's milk can be added to taste, but this bitter and astringent nature will not be completely concealed in any way, just like the nature of the Tang people, they look weak, but they will never give in easily, the stronger the opponent encountered, the stronger the strength inspired. Just like the bitterness of tea bricks, it will never go away!"

Abbas's analogy is not very apt, but Iprahim has a sudden sense of enlightenment. He suddenly realized that whether he was chasing the rebels of Bakhana or the Persians who were planning to encircle and suppress the Persians in Tocharo, he had the presence of the Tang people.

After combing through all the common points of each battle, I found that any battle with the figure of a Tang man would give me a headache. The attack could not be completely annihilated, and the retreat was met with continuous attacks.

This embarrassing situation lasted until he met his uncle Abbas after he volunteered to help.

Now it was his turn to use this tactic of harassment to make the Persian army, which was dominated by the Tang people, miserable.

"My nephew has always ignored the existence of the Tang people, and now if we want to suppress the rebellion of the Persians, we must completely defeat the Tang people and drive them back to the east of the Green Ridge!"

Abbas nodded with satisfaction, he realized that the existence of the Tang people was also after the fiasco in Mulu City, not much earlier than his nephew.

"Not only do we want to drive them back to the east of the Green Ridge, we want to push the borders of the empire to Anxi, and we want to return to the Tang people the shame that Yusuf brought to the empire!"

He spoke vigorously about his intentions, and was deeply identified by Iprasin.

"Although the Tang people have a tough personality and like to be tricky, their disadvantages are also obvious, Anxi and even the Green Mountains are tens of thousands of miles away from their capital, which is far more than Khorasan to Ctesiphon! Well, the empire is now building a new capital, and it won't be long before Baghdad will replace Ctesiphon and become the king of all cities!"

Hearing his uncle's words, Iprasin's heart was overturned, and he was about to say something when Abbas said again:

"Do you know why the Persian army was besieged on this nameless river beach and did not even make a single attempt to break through?"
