Chapter 1232: The praying mantis wants to catch cicadas

"Look, these rebels really can't hold their breath. Iprasin, you and my uncle and nephew are busy tonight!"

Seeing his uncle's excited expression, Iprahim had already guessed that the change in military situation must have been unexpectedly smooth.

"If you can defeat those rebels, even if you don't sleep for three days and three nights, my nephew can do it!"

Abbas waved his hand.

"It won't take three days and nights, just one night, you and I can crush this rebel army that is about to be defeated, and of course, we will get back all the 600,000 dinars lost in Mulu City!"

It turned out that the text in the military newspaper clearly told Abbas that the Persians had made some moves to try to escape from the siege while the river was swelling.

"Uncle, do you need to make some preparations now, rush over and keep up with the Persians?"

Abbas waved his hand again and refused.

"No, no, no, don't do this, the Persians and the Tang people are cunning like foxes in the desert, the slightest sound will frighten them, why not let these Persians who are about to be destroyed rest assured and boldly flee for their lives, and then wait until they are only in a hurry and can't form a defensive formation, and then launch a fatal blow!"

Now, the surge in the river has had some impact on Abbas, the biggest problem being that he can't cross the river whenever and wherever he wants, and he has to choose the right place. Moreover, the river beach where the army was stationed was so fast and deep that scouts could only be sent to find a suitable place for the army to cross the river as soon as possible.

The scouts found at least four or five river crossings before dark, and Abbas decided to wait until after dawn to investigate the river himself, and then decide where to cross the river.

"In this way, it is better to go back and get a good night's sleep. ”

Iprasin shook his drunken head, and his uncle's relaxed demeanor made him feel that victory was at hand.

He would never have such a relaxed state of mind when he commanded the army himself, following his uncle, especially his uncle had more than 20 years of experience in the war, except for the defeat of Mulu City, he was almost invincible, and he was still very sure of victory in his heart.

"Now is not the time to sleep, go back and tell your warriors that they are ready to celebrate their victory at any time, and as long as they get back 600,000 dinars, half will be distributed to all the warriors involved in the pursuit of the rebels!"

"This, isn't this a bit too much?"

Abbas was not stingy with this.

"If it can be won, the newly established Persian state will suffer a heavy blow, and it will definitely affect the overall plan of the Tang Dynasty to go deep into the river and Khorasan, not to mention the distribution of 300,000 dinars to the warriors in the army, even if all the 600,000 dinars are lost in this nameless river, what does it matter?"

Abbas's arrogance showed the true character of a hero, and Iprahim was convinced.

He thought to himself that he was far inferior to his uncle, and that it was impossible for him to dispose of the six hundred thousand dinars as if they were dirt.

But this is also the reason for Iplasin's peace of mind, after all, his uncle is a battle-hardened warrior, and although he is old, his wealth of experience cannot be replaced by anyone.

Especially those Persian troops, almost every one of them is a recruit who has never fought much, and as long as my uncle shows half of the majesty of the year, he will definitely be invincible!

"Nephew, go and call on his subordinates now, so that they are ready to fight at any time!"

"Alright, let's go, and then wait for the order to cross the river and pursue!"

When Iprahim returned, he gathered his troops to boost their morale, and the soldiers screamed with excitement when they learned that the decisive battle they had been waiting for had finally arrived.

However, Abbas's order to wait until dawn was not delivered. Iprahim yawned, after all, he had drunk too much wine last night, had not slept all night, and was in high spirits, and now he felt a little sleepy when his fatigue suddenly came.

"General, the governor's guards have already opened the barracks, and I believe it will be our turn soon!"

Iprasin's please report back to Abbas's movements frequently.

When he received the reward, he lifted his spirits and exclaimed:

"Come out of your spirits, soon, soon it's your turn!"

The temptation of 300,000 dinars is endless, and those newly recruited rabble are inevitably not among the priorities, and as the big * sharp, they tend to get more than eighty percent of the spoils.

A few hundred dinars is equivalent to the income of an ordinary peasant for about ten years, so everyone dares to fight, seeks to fight, and hopes to get this huge bounty from this battle.

Moreover, it is customary in the Great Food Army that the rewards for the war dead are doubled, and even if they die in battle, they will leave a pension for their families.

"General, let's fight to the Persian kingdom of Dimata, and capture the old donkey of Zamas and present it to the governor!"

"Yes, capture Zamas, and give it to the Governor!"

For a time, some people agreed, and some people befriended.

Iprasin laughed and said loudly:

"Zamas, the old donkey, is of little use, and besides this man, he has to capture alive Kuslao, who is the heir. This little donkey's ambition was not small, and he actually took the name of the former king of Persia. When this little donkey is captured alive, he must be burned on his forehead with the mark that only hard work can have, let him do the lowest work, and let all those who dare to confront and betray the empire see, this is the end it deserves!"

Iplasin's words eased everyone's tense mood a little, and everyone burst into laughter, and the little donkey of Kuth was also a difficult character. They tried to kill the man as they attacked him, but each time they let him escape.

It wasn't until the fire was extinguished that Kusi Lao never confronted the Great Eater again. As long as the Great Eater appears, this person will definitely flee far away.

This annoyed Iprahim, who more than once scolded Kuth for being a cowardly groundhog.

But no matter how much you curse, there is no way to do it, after all, the terrain of northern Tocharian is more familiar to the Persians, and the local tribes are overwhelmingly inclined to the Persians.

Iprahim had to give up the idea of chasing the little donkey.

At this time, Abbas's messenger arrived, informing Iprahim that a suitable place had been found to cross the river, and that the best time to cross the river would be when the Persians had completely abandoned their strongholds.

Iprasin was waiting for this moment, and he only hated that time passed too slowly to rush over at the first time.

But Abbas's arrangement also understands that once the real big battle is decisive, the elite is never the first to be released, and usually sends troops with medium combat effectiveness to make one or more tentative attacks, and once the true strength of the other party is determined, adjustments will be made according to this, and at that time, it will be the turn of Iplasin to appear.

In order to confuse the Persians, a large number of large cannibals stayed inside the camp, and from the outside of the camp it seemed that everything was calm......
