Chapter 1180: The two soldiers first meet
Selling flaws depends on whether the other party is stupid enough, Zhang Yuanzuo sneered, the big cannibal can't wait to play little tricks now, it is nothing more than the prestige of wanting to kill Tang Bing.
Before this march, Qin Jin had met him in Zhangye and made a request. You only need to arrive outside Jiuquan City first according to the plan, and you are not allowed to act without an order.
Although Zhang Yuanzuo is a very adventurous person, he has the prime minister's military orders, so he has to obediently obey the orders, this is not when he enters the army alone, he has a lot of freedom.
"Let them sell it, just ignore it!"
"The general is wise, the general is wise!"
Abu's Chinese language is learned very quickly, especially this compliment, and the words are learned in a correct tone.
He also knew his own situation and was inferior to those steppe barbarians of the Grolu in terms of bravery and strength, and inferior to Hasim in terms of wisdom. Now the only thing he can do is to hug Zhang Yuanzuo's big thick legs tightly, as long as Zhang Yuanzuo soars, his position will naturally be stable.
In fact, Zhang Yuanzuo also attaches more importance to Abu, after all, Tang Bing's western expedition is not just as simple as recovering the Western Regions, so it is very important to have a person around him who is familiar with the customs and customs of the Western Regions and even more western.
Although he didn't act rashly, Zhang Yuanzuo still couldn't hold back his emotions when he saw Hunting, no matter whether the enemy in front of him was strong or weak, he was not afraid, even if he couldn't beat it, he had to bite off the other party's flesh.
Abu thinks that although he is not as clever as Hasim, he is at least very good at what he says.
He saw Zhang Yuanzuo's eagerness to try, so he took the initiative to contribute:
"General, the prime minister has an order not to attack the enemy without an order, but he didn't say that he wouldn't let us fight back after being attacked!"
A word woke up the dreamer, Zhang Yuanzuo was overjoyed, and felt that he could properly teach the invincible cannibal a lesson.
However, although he has the will to fight, he is also very aware of the strength of the Great Cannibal, and he is not sure to win if he dares to fight. So there has to be a plan for everything.
Zhang Yuanzuo is a very smart person, the big cannibal intends to sell a flaw to attract himself to attack, he can also concoct the same method, also sell a flaw, see if the big cannibal dares to attack.
Yusuf could not help but be a little disappointed when he noticed that the cavalry seemed to have some scruples, and only roamed far away ten miles away, and did not attack.
But soon, someone came to report:
"General, the Tang Dynasty has divided the troops......"
Yu Sufu raised his eyes and saw that the dense banners of the Tang Dynasty cavalry were divided into two regiments, and they swept away in two directions, north and south.
This is a naked provocation, and he dares to act so unscrupulously, just to calculate that he will not take the initiative to attack. Yusuf was very angry, because according to the plan, the army was really waiting for the main force of the Tang soldiers, not these trash fish and shrimp who were fighting in the front station.
However, it is not a way to let these miscellaneous fish and shrimp show off their power in front of them.
After some thought, Yusuf finally ordered the Persian cavalry guards around him to attack, but he was not stupid enough to divide his troops to attack, but instead looked at the cavalry to the north, because the commander was among them.
The Persians as a supplementary force for the great cannibals, Yusuf used it as a reserve, and had always been the vanguard of those steppe barbarians, but now the morale of those steppe barbarians has fallen, and more people are not contributing to their efforts, and now it is time to use the Persians.
The combat effectiveness of the Persian cavalry is not weak, but because of the change of dynasty, it has lost its original glorious status, and now it can only fight east and west as a great cannibal servant. With the loot, you should also give priority to satisfying the big cannibals, and wait until the big cannibals pick up the remaining scraps before it is their turn.
For the sake of the combat effectiveness of the army, most of the Great Eclipse generals have sometimes ignored the traditions handed down from the Umayyad Dynasty and deliberately promoted the status of the army that was not born as a Great Cannibal. Yusuf, on the other hand, believes that the Great Cannibal is the supreme man in the whole world, and that no one else is worthy of prostrate at the feet of the Great Cannibal and become a slave driven by the Great Cannibal.
Under Abu's reminder, Zhang Yuanzuo seduces the big cannibals to lead troops to attack.
However, this is only the first step, after making contact with the Persian soldiers, Zhang Yuanzuo immediately led his troops to retreat eastward, making the illusion that the enemy had fled.
Yusuf smiled with satisfaction when he heard the news that the Tang soldiers had been defeated after contact, but then he was a little worried about the situation of the Persian cavalry guards. These dons are as cunning as foxes in the woods, and no one knows how many bad ideas they will come up with in the blink of an eye.
"Order, let the Persian Cavalry Guards come back, just teach them a lesson!"
But then, Yusuf changed his mind.
"Zeng Bing, send a team of Khazar cavalry, and be sure to completely annihilate that Tang Dynasty cavalry!"
Now all he has to do is to strike hard and deter those Tang people with thunderous means.
……
After Zhang Yuanzuo retreated a few miles to the east, a group of cavalry came out from the halfway cover, and those Persian pursuers turned a little blindfolded when they landed, and then the two cavalry forces merged into one, and the Persian cavalry that immediately fought scattered in formation.
The guarantee of cavalry combat effectiveness is the formation, if they are all stragglers, they will only be surrounded and swallowed by the opponent's well-organized cavalry.
Zhang Yuanzuo was very satisfied with Abu's suggestion, and did not forget to praise him while commanding the battle:
"You did a good job this time, I will definitely ask the prime minister for credit for you when I go back, and it should be no problem to be crowned a general!"
In fact, Zhang Yuanzuo has just been promoted to Zhonglang General now, and generals like Abu, who are not in a hurry to be wooed, will generally not be reused, and will definitely not be awarded the title of general like Gu Lulu and Hasim.
Now Zhang Yuanzuo promised Abu that he would be promoted to Lang General, which made him very excited. Since Abu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he has carefully studied the official system of the Tang Dynasty, civil officials and military generals have different ranks, and Lang Jiang is already a high-status military position.
"The villain is willing to be the most faithful servant of the general!"
Zhang Yuanzuo smiled helplessly, these Persians profess to be willing to be servants at every turn, and it makes people feel funny when they listen to it!
"Okay, good, isn't it just to be a servant, as long as you follow me and work hard, you are also a servant in front of you......"
"Villain, villain, thank General for cultivation and reuse!"
As he spoke, Abu had already dismounted and bowed down clumsily with Tang etiquette.
Zhang Yuanzuo hurriedly asked him to get on the horse, this is on the battlefield, although they don't have to charge, but the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and if there is a sudden situation, they must deal with it immediately.
Suddenly, the detective horse came in a hurry to report.
"A large group of cavalry suddenly appeared three miles to the west, menacing......"
