Chapter 927: Gathering of Military Generals and Strategic Deduction (Part II)
Chapter 927
"Actually, I think that Datang's combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the Great Cannibal. Master Gao Xianzhi only has 70,000 soldiers and horses, but he has resisted the Great Cannibal in Talas for more than two months, even if there is no way for Abmus/Lin. As far as we know about the Great Cannibals, such a war has never happened before. And this adult, in the two wars from yesterday to today, although the big cannibal has an absolute advantage in strength and has a new ally, it has never been the opponent of this adult. More than 100,000 people died in the two wars, and the losses of the Tang Dynasty were very limited, if this kind of news spread, it would be unimaginable for those countries that were conquered by the Great Eclipse before. ”
"In the entire continent, all the countries, I am afraid that only the Tang Dynasty can defeat the Great Cannibal. In the eyes of our mercenaries, Datang is actually the most powerful country, which is why we are willing to fight side by side with Datang. ”
Ferghana, the leader of the Bana Khan tribe, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke, his expression extremely sincere.
The Ansidu Protector has always had two major allies, one is Grolu and the other is Bauna Khan. The leader of Gloro, Wanhe Peiluo, is dead, and among the mercenaries, the only one who can speak in front of Gao Xianzhi now is Fergana.
Ferghana's words surprised everyone in the hall. No one thought that the leader of Ba Na Khan had a higher belief in the Tang Dynasty than everyone else. The originally heavy atmosphere in the hall disappeared in an instant, and even Wang Chong couldn't help but show a smile.
Ba Na Khan really deserves to be the most loyal ally of the Tang Dynasty.
"However, now that we are under attack, we will be attacked by the other, and if we do not solve this problem, we will definitely lose in the end. ”
Just then, a voice suddenly interjected. Before the voice fell, the atmosphere that had been eased by Fergana suddenly disappeared, and all eyes looked over, looking at the sand table with a thoughtful face, and the bone strength that was not aware of the changes around him. Perhaps it was because he felt the surprising silence around him, and Gu Li finally felt something, raised his head, and suddenly realized that he was speechless, and his face immediately changed.
The Grolu tribe colluded with Dashi, and the Wanhe Peiluo affair was revealed and killed, and now Grolu is at the point of a crisis of confidence. If you make any outrageous actions at this time and anger Datang, I'm afraid that the Glolu Department will really collapse.
"Guli is right, it is taboo in the art of war to be attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, and if we don't solve this problem, it will be difficult for us to concentrate all our energy and deal with the big cannibals with peace of mind. ”
Just when Gu Li felt panicked and full of despair, a sonorous and powerful voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and Wang Chong suddenly spoke at this time.
"Tsugo-sama!"
At this moment, the bone strength was like finding a life-saving straw, and the whole person suddenly settled down. I don't know the details of Wang Chong, I will only see his sixteen or seventeen-year-old appearance, but as long as I understand, I will know that the young man in front of him is Daduhu, and even compared with Gao Xianzhi, his status in Talas is not inferior, and even surpasses, after all, the more than 100,000 troops outside the city are all commanded by him.
"However, this matter is not too difficult to solve, although Abmus/Lin can continue to obtain soldiers and horses from the nearest eclipse, but the other side may not be the same. ”
Wang Chong opened his mouth, his gaze was firm, like a rock, without the slightest wavering, as if there was no difficulty in the world that could defeat him, and anyone who saw his gaze would also be invisibly infected, so as to strengthen his faith and have confidence in him.
"Uszang and the Western Turks have a total of 120,000 horses, and the first war has consumed more than 40,000 of their soldiers and horses, and the rest is only about 70,000. From now on, Daqin Ruozan will be very cautious. Won't be as risky as before. For every point his forces consumed, there was one point less. And if I'm not mistaken, the Great Iron Cavalry of Muchi is the force that guards the capital of the Uzzang king. Now that the king has not had any accidents, Mu Chi has appeared in Talas, and there is no accident, this should be the army that Daqin Ruozan has gathered privately against the will of the king of Tibet! It is impossible for him to recruit any reinforcements from Uszang. ”
"Buzz!"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone was stunned. Even Gao Xianzhi's eyelids jumped, revealing a thoughtful look. In this war, many people only notice what is in the war itself, and do not notice what is outside the war. Even Gao Xianzhi is no exception.
There are too many things for him to deal with. It's not that he can't detect it, it's just that Wang Chong's considerations at the strategic level are far more sensitive than all the generals here, including him.
"You mean, this is a one-man war?"
Gao Xianzhi said with a pensive expression.
"You can't go wrong!"
Wang Chong said lightly, that kind of deep gaze seemed to penetrate everything.
"Daqin Ruozan and Huoshu Guizang were defeated in the southwest, and Dusong Mangbuzhi was defeated in the Battle of the Triangle Gap. These three men almost lost all the troops under their command. No matter how enlightened the Zao was, he would never send troops to them again in such a short period of time. Moreover, if it is really at the behest of the king of Zao. There were definitely more than 70,000 horses coming. In addition, although Du Wu Sili is known as the general of the Heavenly Wolf, he is powerful. However, there were only 40,000 horses under his command, and a large number of others were cyan giant wolves brought from the Western Turkic steppe. I think the tentative meaning of Shabala Khan has been revealed. ”
"There will be no reinforcements from the Western Turkic Khanate!"
As a general, you must not only think about what you see in front of you, calculate what you see inside the battlefield, but also calculate what you can't see outside the battlefield. Including logistics, troops, supplies, politics, and so on. In this big battle, Wang Chong not only pays attention to the field, but also pays attention to the off-field.
Whether Daqin Ruozan is willing or not, Wang Chong has already gotten what he wants from this war. In this battle, Daqin Ruozan is actually desperate, and his situation is far from being as beautiful as it seems on the surface.
Wang Chong understated, and immediately analyzed the situation faced by everyone in three or two sentences, and for a while, there was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone showed a thoughtful look. The situation that originally seemed complicated, and the situation that was extremely unfavorable to everyone, suddenly became clear in everyone's minds under Wang Chong's narration.
"As for the Great Eclipse, although Talas is closer to the Great Eclipse, don't forget, we are not alone, standing behind us, it is the entire Datang, as long as we hold on for a period of time, our reinforcements will also be continuous in the future! ”
Wang Chonglang said, his voice was sonorous and loud.
As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly relaxed, and Fergana and Guli were also refreshed. It is true that Abmus/Lin is backed by the huge Great Food Empire, but on the side of the Anxi Du's guards, there is also a huge Tang Empire behind it.
The strength of the Tang Dynasty is also famous even in the entire Western Regions, which is also the reason why many mercenary tribes in the Western Regions are willing to fight side by side with the Tang Dynasty against the Great Eclipse.
"What Lord Du Hu said is that I believe that no matter what, Datang will definitely win the final victory, and our Gloro tribe will also follow to the death!"
Guli glanced at Wang Chong gratefully, and lost no time in expressing his loyalty. If it weren't for Wang Chong speaking just now, I am afraid he would have become the target of public criticism. For this newcomer to the west of the capital, Guli gradually admired more and more in his heart.
"Okay, that's going to be said later, let's discuss the issue of the evening first, and if there are no accidents, Abu Mus/Lin and Daqin Ruozan will definitely take action in the evening. ”
As soon as Wang Chong's voice fell, his eyes quickly gathered on the sand table in the hall.
"Huh?"
Gu Li was stunned, and said a little dazed:
"My lord, won't you fight in the afternoon?"
As soon as the voice fell, in the hall, Wang Chong, Gao Xianzhi, and Cheng Qianli all laughed, although Guli took over Wanhe Peiluo's position and became the new leader of Gloro, but his military sensitivity and strategic cultivation were still far behind.
"Don't worry, if Abmuth/Lin are ready to fight again in the afternoon, they won't retreat in the morning. ”
Wang Chong waved his hand and said with a faint smile:
"And the good tail work after the war also needs to be dealt with by him, and he can't start two wars in such a short time. Even if he was willing, Daqin Ruozan would never agree. All his energy will only be focused on the night raid at night!"
After losing the battle during the day, all the generals will consider the night attack at night, because compared to the daytime, the night has more advantages, for example, the opponent will not be vigilant all the time, and the more fierce the battle during the day, the heavier the sleepiness at night.
In addition, the cover of night can also make it easier for the army to approach the opponent, and at the same time greatly reduce the power of the archers and crossbows, making it more difficult to aim.
"Indeed, with what I know about Abmus/Lin, a person like him who is extremely aggressive will definitely not let go of the opportunity at night, and in addition, Daqin Ruozan's side will definitely be prepared, so the risk at night is no less than during the day. However, this is also an opportunity for us. ”
Anxi Dadu Protector Gao Xianzhi also spoke at this time:
"We don't get tired of deceit, and although we don't have as many troops as the Western Turks and Usz, we have one of the greatest advantages, which is the Wall of Steel and the City of Talas, which Abmuth/Lin do not have. The Great Cannibals can attack us at night, and we can attack them as well. In addition, we can also take this opportunity to spy on some news. ”
Wang Chong listened to these words, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Many people only know that Gao Xianzhi uses soldiers like a god, attacks are fast and fierce, and often appear in unexpected places for the enemy, but not many people know that Gao Xianzhi also has a characteristic of "soldiers are not tired of cheating".
With this move, he did not know how many kingdoms he conquered in the Western Regions.
Although in Confucianism, it may be shameful, but in the art of war, Wang Chong strongly agrees.
