When Tang Zhangwei saw that those barbarians were already ready with great momentum, he also began to think about how to deal with these people, after all, none of these people had a good stubble.

When the cavalry of the Turks occupied many cities in Northern Tianzhu, it was once again full of beacon fires.

Tang Zhangwei said to a local farmer: "You people, haven't you ever thought of resisting these Turks? ”

The peasant said, "Resist as you say, if we resist, we will surely be killed, and then our property will fall into the hands of those brahmins and those Kshatriyas." ”

Tang Zhangwei knew why those Tianzhu peasants and Tianzhu pariahs almost never had a chance to turn over.

Because the reverse elimination of thousands of years is so terrible that if those untouchables refuse to be obedient people, they will not even have a chance to survive, let alone raise livestock and do things that change their own destiny.

These poor people, they are not willing to be slaves themselves, but when fate chooses them to be slaves, these people do it with taste.

Tang Zhaozong looked at the turbulent Turkic cavalry and local rebel forces outside Qunu City, and he could only say to the Tubo cavalry, the Zhangxiong cavalry, and the Tang cavalry that he could still control: "You must be loyal to me, only if you are loyal to me, you will have the opportunity to be promoted and rich in the future." ”

Those people kept nodding their heads, but when the emperor of the Tang Dynasty became so chattering, everyone also knew that this guy was out of luck.

Those Turkic cavalry continued to attack the city of Qunu, and Tang Zhaozong said to Empress He: "I didn't expect that I would die in this Tianzhu city." ”

Empress He said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry, I think that Tang Zhangwei will definitely send troops to save us." ”

Tang Zhaozong said: "This rebel army in Northern Tianzhu is too powerful, even if that Tang Zhangwei comes in person, there is nothing to do." ”

Empress He said: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and we have no way, it doesn't mean that General Tang Zhangwei has no way." ”

Tang Zhaozong said: "Look at the new king of the sun, Alonashun, he went out of Qunu City and also gathered a large army, but he led the army to participate in the siege of my troops. ”

Empress He said: "General Tang Zhangwei's army is even stronger, and he will definitely be able to eliminate the rebellion here." It's just that this Tang Zhangwei used some means to eliminate the rebellion here. ”

In fact, Tang Zhangwei and his cavalry officers had no good way to relieve Tang Zhaozong for a while, they could only watch those Turkic cavalry, and the king of the new Jieri, Alonashun, gathered a large army to recapture Qunu City.

The new Ring King, Alonashun, gathered an army of 100,000 men and met with his daughter, Princess Katrina.

Tang Zhangwei's cavalry officers also gathered some Tang immigrants, including Zhang Lun, a cavalry general who had been immigrating to Tianzhu for many years.

Tang Zhangwei secretly organized a local army, and he wanted to sneak attack those Turkic troops at night.

On the one hand, such a gesture is certainly motivated, but at the same time, Aronashun is not unfounded. After receiving the support of Kumara in terms of supplies and funds, Alona Shun reorganized the army with the war elephant unit as the core, and greatly increased the number of the former eastern legions. In addition to the regular troops that were mainly Kshatriya warriors, mercenaries, tribal soldiers and other troops were added, which can be said to be the largest army in the South Asian subcontinent at this time in terms of number alone.

There is no doubt that the trump card of Alona Shun is the war elephant unit that has been on standby since the beginning of the war, which can be called the flower of Tianzhu. The elephant, the world's largest land animal, was trained in military affairs, draped in stiff armor and attached to a tower. Each elephant is equipped with an officer and two soldiers, and while manipulating the elephant, it attacks the enemy with bows, arrows, spears and other weapons, which is equivalent to a small fortress that can be moved. Even without these artificial equipment, simply using the elephant's own tusks and trunk, and its unique trampling, it is almost the existence of an invincible class of ancient troops.

A large number of such war elephants are organized into formed troops, which is the war elephant corps that Tianzhu is proud of. According to the relevant records in Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", it has reached the point of "60,000 elephant troops". This was the situation during the heyday of the King of the Rings, and there should not be so many at this time, but even if it is calculated by half, it is still quite a large number. During the Punic Wars, the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal launched a counterattack on Rome itself, which almost destroyed the first power in Europe, and only mobilized more than 30 war elephants.

"Although these temporary hired infantry units are not as trustworthy, they can easily crush the enemy if they are engaged in the war elephant units at the most critical moments. It would be nice for the infantry to be there to help. ”

Unlike war horses, war elephants are larger in size, and their defense and impact power are much higher. If there is a frontal conflict, it will be difficult for either the cavalry or the infantry to resist the attack of the war elephants. And once the battle array collapses, then what follows is a one-sided slaughter.

While Alonashun is confident on a tactical level, the situation is not too rosy on a strategic level. In addition to the Qiantuowei region where his wife was located, with the change of hands of Qunu City, the instability of the lords in various places began to gradually surface. If they lose another battle, probably they will take refuge in Zhang Lun alone.

Even if you win yourself, you have to beware of Kumara of Dongtianzhu behind you. Let yourself go and kill each other with Zhang Lun, cut off the supplies once you win, and then let him dominate the whole Tianzhu......

"What a masterful calculation. However, if he thinks that things will really go the way Kumara calculated, then he will definitely be disappointed in the future! Defeat Zhang Lun, and then return to the army to destroy Kumaro! So decided! ”

Firmly believing that he had a promising future, Aronashun proudly puffed out his chest.

"There is no reason to fail, and there is no room for failure. Either life or death, everything depends on this battle! ”

"If this battle is lost, I probably won't be able to return to my homeland alive. It's nerve-wracking. ”

Not only Alonashun, but Zhang Lun and Tang Zhangwei also had the same awareness. Not so long ago, they were merely envoys from distant lands carrying messages of peace; At this time, their fate has been tightly entangled with the land of Tianzhu.

"Although my friends have been saved, we can't just go back. Be sure to arrest Aronashun and let him accept His Majesty's sanctions! ”
