Chapter 1162: Perseverance will be rewarded

In Zhangye City, Miao Jinqing cried with joy, and after going to the city to look at it several times to no avail, he asked the Tanma who had just returned to the city over and over again.

"Really, is it really the prime minister?"

The encounter and artillery bombardment between Ruoshui and the north bank of the Zhangye River during the day, Tanma saw it clearly, and the banner of the Shenwu Army was also impressive, and the prime minister kept telling the Hexi Army to hold on, and the reinforcements would arrive soon, when everyone felt that this was the tireless perfunctory of the imperial court, no one expected that the reinforcements of the imperial court had really arrived, and it was also a prestigious Shenwu army.

"Back to Fujun's words, the Shenwu Army defeated the big food soldiers on the north bank of Ruoshui with a mysterious weapon called artillery, and the last general had seen the firearms of the Shenwu Army once in Chang'an, and it was indeed the prime minister's elite firearms battalion!"

Tanma was very excited, and even when it came time to report the situation, he was a little incoherent.

But no matter how illogical Tanma's words were, Miao Jinqing still understood, and the Shenwu Army finally made a move on these big cannibals.

In an instant, Miao Jinqing straightened his waist, which had always been slightly hunched, and the whole person seemed to have a different mental outlook.

"Okay, the big cannibals planned to besiege the city and send reinforcements, but they didn't expect that it would be impossible to steal chickens and rice! Now, even if they intend to attack the city, even if they can attack it at once, it will be too late!"

"Mighty, victorious! mighty, victorious!"

The soldiers on the city wall actually stood up and shouted, and after learning that the imperial reinforcements had arrived, everyone felt that their months of lone defense had not been in vain.

I saw Miao Jinqing rubbing his hands excitedly, walking back and forth on the road of the city wall.

"No, we can't just sit and do nothing, we must actively cooperate with the reinforcements of the imperial court, the first step is to send someone to get in touch with the reinforcements camped on the north bank of Ruoshui. ”

Just when he was thinking about sending someone to contact the reinforcements, a military official came to report that someone in the city claimed to be a reinforcement messenger and asked to enter the city to meet Fujun.

Miao Jinqing didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered someone to hang the reinforcement messenger into the city with a basket.

"The last general Cheng Fang was ordered by Jiang Lang to come to meet Miao Fujun!"

Miao Jinqing smiled and helped the messenger up in three or two steps.

"The soldiers and civilians of Zhangye City are looking forward to the imperial court reinforcements, and today, today is finally here!"

His words trembled a little, a natural reaction of excitement and joy, and without waiting for the messenger to reply, he asked again in a row:

"Prime Minister, is the Prime Minister here too?"

Then the messenger said:

"Back to Fujun's words, the prime minister has led the main force to recover Liangzhou, Jiang Lang will lead the vanguard of the second battalion with Qingxu Zhenren to come to Zhangye one step ahead of others to explore the reality of the big cannibal!"

"Great, great. ”

Miao Jinqing's excitement still did not subside, and while rubbing his hands, he said:

"The big cannibal has been delayed under Zhangye City for a long time, and the sharp spirit has lost five or six out of ten, the imperial court has arrived at this time, and the morale is booming, and today it has severely damaged the morale of its army, and under the rise of his elimination, the big cannibal will be defeated!"

Listening to the ears of the people around him, they all felt that the road ahead was bright, and what they thought was a desperate situation changed in an instant without warning.

When Miao Jinqing proposed that he could help Jiang Fengxiang do something, Jiang Fengxiang only sent someone to tell Miao Jinqing that there was no need to act rashly, just wait quietly for the big cannibal to withdraw his troops, and it was in these two days.

Miao Jinqing felt strange, the prime minister's main force was still in Liangzhou, and it was impossible to reach Zhangye in a day or two, could it be that these 10,000 forwards could completely defeat the 100,000 cannibals outside Zhangye?

In fact, Jiang Fengxiang is not sure, these are just the prime minister's original words.

After only a day or two, Miao Jinqing was surprised to find that there was indeed movement in the Dashi military camp, and it seemed that something was brewing, and it was difficult to determine whether it was to withdraw the troops for a while.

The past two days have been very sad for Yusuf, and the originally good situation has suddenly been lost, making it difficult for him to accept the results in front of him.

However, Yusuf was the commander of the troops after all, and he would not spread his negative feelings widely, and he summoned his henchman Izzy back from the Great Dou Tu Valley, and the previous expectation was wrong, and Tang Dynasty reinforcements came from the direction of Liangzhou.

As for the situation in Liangzhou at this time, I am afraid that it has been captured by the Tang soldiers, and the Turks who stayed there should have been defeated, but these barbarians on the grassland have always rebelled, not to mention that they and the Tang Dynasty have always been unclear, even if the army is defeated against the coalition army, it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

As the envoy of the governor of Khorasan, Mejid was very disturbed by the current situation of the Great Food Alliance, and he hoped that Yusuf would send elite soldiers and horses to wipe out the Tang soldiers on the north bank of Ruoshui, and even if it could not be eliminated, it would be acceptable to defeat and expel them.

"The morale of the army has fluctuated, and if we don't do something, the situation of the war will become more and more unfavorable for us......

Looking at the chattering McJid, Yusuf still had an elegant smile on his face, but he had actually scolded this eunuch in his heart.

Mejid was a watchman sent by the governor of Khorasan, and if Yusuf had always maintained his advantage, he would be happy to be an emissary who didn't care about anything. However, the situation is clearly not as perfect as Yusuf portrays, and it is time to use the power he already has.

It wasn't until McJid stopped nagging that Yusuf said in a slow and deep voice:

"McJid, you know, the current situation has been repeatedly unexpected, and if you act rashly when the enemy situation is unknown, it is likely that there will be ......"

Before he could finish speaking, McGid waved his hand and retorted:

"No, no, no, sending troops now is by no means an unclear advance of the enemy, the key is to defeat the Tang soldiers on the north bank of Ruoshui and raise the depressed morale!"

McGid's words were also reasonable, but Yusuf thought that his reasons were more valid, that he had always used his troops to make a deliberate move, and that any blind move could lead to a greater defeat if the enemy situation could not be determined.

What's more, even if the 10,000 Tang soldiers who attacked the north bank of Ruoshui now, who could guarantee that they would not win the battle in one battle? Who could guarantee that no ambush soldiers would suddenly appear?

At the same time as Yusuf and McGid were arguing, Zhang Yuanzuo, who had been injured in many places, had roughly recovered his energy, and most of the injuries he suffered were skin injuries, which were nothing to a thick-skinned old man like him.

Moreover, although Zhang Yuanzuo's troops suffered heavy losses, after all, they were only a small part, and the division of troops halfway ensured that most of the troops could be dispersed and broke through, and it was only a matter of time before the troops were gathered again.

Just before noon, the first batch of cavalry of nearly 1,000 people rushed over, and Zhang Yuanzuo immediately decided to take the troops he had just gathered to attack the big cannibals.
