Yun'er knows how to serve the master very well, knows how to serve the master, in order to make the master the most satisfied, after so many years of experience, the technology is more and more mature, to the point of perfection.

The beauty and the white fox, the magpie, the level is getting higher and higher, they serve Li An with all their hearts, so that even if Li An is physically and mentally exhausted, he can quickly recover his energy.

The matter of the war is the matter of Ottoman and Artik, and Li Ang does not need to ask about it at all now, in the absence of Ziyad in the army, he believes that the combined army of Ottoman and Artik will definitely be able to defeat Mansur's 10,000 elite Khorasan cavalry and achieve the greatest victory.

When it's time to enjoy it, you still have to enjoy it, and how tired it should be to always think about national events! Li An sighed and hugged the four beauties to the couch.

Lying on the soft couch, enjoying the massage of the four beauties, smelling the aromatic breath, and touching the bodies of the four beauties from time to time, it feels so relieving.

In addition to enjoyment, people must also have goals in life, and life without goals is destined to lack direction and is meaningless.

Li An naturally has a goal, and the goal at this stage is to open up the Maritime Silk Road, so that the Tang Empire has a way to get rich, and the Maritime Silk Road and the Land Silk Road together will ensure that the Tang Empire has a steady stream of wealth.

However, not everyone has a goal in life, and some people's lives are to get by, without the slightest plan at all, that is, to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day.

Of course, such a life can also be considered a goal, but the goal is so small that it feels as if it is not a goal.

"Yun'er, white fox, magpie, beauty, do you have any goals for life?"

Li An looked at the four of them and asked.

Anyway, it's idle to be idle, and it's nice to chat with the four little maids.

"Ah Lang, what can we do in life! Aren't you still thinking about Fa'er's service to Ah Lang? ”

"That's it, we were all bought by Ah Lang, what else can we do besides serving Ah Lang."

"Being able to serve Ah Lang well is our goal in life."

"Ah Lang thinks we don't serve well?"

The four little beauties said their thoughts one by one.

This kind of answer is completely expected by Ang Lee, after all, they are just ordinary little women, their ability is limited to serving the master, let them do something else, they may not be able to do it, it is good to simply learn to serve the master.

Personal ability determines the realm, ideals and goals, this is an eternal truth, a person as capable as Ang Lee will have the dream of saving the world, and like Yun'er, White Fox These little women, they don't think about this? In their hearts, being able to serve Ang Lee well is the biggest goal in life.

Ang Lee doesn't want to continue to talk about life ideals with them, he is really not a grade person, and enjoying their graceful bodies is the right thing.

It is said that the older a man is, the worse his physical fitness, and the worse his ability in that regard, but Ang Lee found that after he got older, he was more durable, and there was no pressure to accompany the four little beauties at one time.

Li An's side is very cool, and Osman and Artik don't even have time to sleep, and they are about to jointly send troops, whether they are well prepared or not, directly determines the proportion of battle losses of the army under their command, the more fully prepared, the smaller the loss of soldiers and horses under their command, otherwise, the loss will be very huge.

The sophisticated weapons of the Datang that were supported to them, they were quickly distributed to the soldiers, and the soldiers were adapted to the characteristics of the use of the Datang weapons.

Before the advent of artillery, the Tang Dynasty's Fuyuan crossbow has always been the longest-range individual weapon in the Tang Empire, even after the Tang Empire has been equipped with artillery, the Fuyuan crossbow has still not been eliminated, which shows the popularity of this weapon.

The soldiers and horses of Ottoman and Artik, after changing into Datang's sophisticated weapons, praised Datang weapons for being easy to use, worthy of being made by a big country, but they are different.

With weapons such as the Tang Dynasty's Fuyuan crossbow, they have a better chance of winning a surprise attack on the Khorasan cavalry, and they can also reduce their losses as much as possible.

In order to achieve the purpose of the raid, the two armies are quietly preparing, giving outsiders the impression that it is an ordinary mobilization, and it is not easy to associate it with a large army attack.

By the early hours of the next morning, both Artik and Osman were almost ready, and they were ready to launch the operation after dark.

In order to achieve the greatest results, they set the time of the general attack at the third watch in the middle of the night, and the soldiers and horses under their command were to go to their respective starting places in batches after nightfall.

This joint dispatch of troops is the first cooperation between Ottoman and Artik, and at the same time, this time there are also 30 artillery members from Datang to participate, which is considered a tripartite cooperation, but Datang has paid the least, only providing some cold weapons and a very small number of artillery units, but the benefits gained are a lot.

Before sending out the troops, Artik seemed to be a little uneasy, and at noon, he came to talk to Ang Lee.

"The city lord didn't go to prepare for the dispatch of troops, why did he come to me?"

Ang Lee was a little surprised when he saw Artik.

"Li Shilang, I have brought the operational map of the offensive operation, can you see if there is anything that needs to be added?"

As he spoke, Artik pulled out a map.

Li An glanced at it, the map was densely marked, and he felt a little dizzy when he saw it, which showed that Artik had done a lot of homework.

It's useless to just look at the map, and without Altic's explanation, Ang Lee can't figure out what kind of deployment this is, or rather, he can't fully understand Altic's deployment.

Artik pointed to the map and introduced: "Li Shilang, please see, the west and north have been handed over to the Ottoman general, don't worry about him for the time being, the east and south are the offensive directions of my mercenaries, among them, the terrain in the east is not conducive to the attack, so I can only prepare a thousand soldiers and horses, plus the five artillery pieces of the Tang Dynasty, for feints, the main army is deployed in the south, as the main direction of attack, after the battle, the five artillery pieces in the east take the lead in firing, respectively, attacking different positions of the enemy battalion, each artillery changes a different position, Do not seek to destroy the enemy, but only to cause chaos within the enemy army, so that the enemy army can not distinguish between east, west, north and south, and then, the three-way attack soldiers and horses will launch a fierce attack, the enemy army will inevitably be unable to resist, and then will flee from the north, and the main force of the Ottoman general is deployed in the north, which will inevitably inflict heavy damage on the fleeing enemy army. ”

After listening to Artik's deployment, Li An smiled, and said: "Very good, the city lord's deployment is in place, it can be described as seamless, and this battle will inevitably be a complete victory, and this official is here waiting for the news of the city lord's victory." ”

For Artik's deployment, Li An is very agreeable, as long as their two lines of soldiers and horses can quietly approach the enemy's battalion, they will definitely be able to achieve a huge victory, of course, if it is discovered in advance, the effect of the attack will be greatly reduced, and the proportion of casualties paid will inevitably skyrocket.

"By the way, the most critical point of this battle is the covert operation, as long as the enemy does not detect the attempt, you will win, if it is discovered by the enemy, the battle plan you have worked so hard to make will be greatly reduced."

Ang Lee finally admonished, and also pointed out the core problem of this battle.

"Li Shilang rest assured, all the soldiers and horses are secretly moving, weapons and soldiers are scattered and assembled from various city gates, and they are going out in batches, which will not cause a lot of movement, and it should not be discovered, I am afraid that the Ottoman generals will move too much and attract the attention of the enemy."

Artik spoke.

"The Ottoman generals have a lot of combat experience, and they should be able to pay attention to concealment attempts, so you don't have to worry about this, hurry up and prepare! Good news waiting for you! ”

Ang Lee said playfully.

"It's all up to tonight, I'll personally lead the main force to set off."

Artik stepped away to make his final preparations for the battle.

All Li An can do now is to quietly wait for their good news, now, their chances of victory are very high, even if they are detected by the enemy in advance, they can still rely on their powerful attack power to win the final victory.

In the Ottoman camp outside the city, the Ottomans were calculating the time it would take for the army to reach the enemy camp, because there was a long distance between their camp and the enemy's camp, so they had to set off in advance, otherwise, it would be difficult to enter the attack position at the appointed time.

A direct march to the east could be done from nightfall, but if you want to get into the northern part of the enemy's camp suitable for ambush, you must set out much earlier.

The Ottomans had already sent their men a few months earlier to survey the terrain around the enemy's camp, and knew that there was a suitable place for an ambush a few miles north of the enemy's camp, and that it would take a lot of time to set up an ambush and march, so it was necessary to set out in advance anyway.

The most advantageous weapon to raid the enemy is the crossbow, and the Tang Dynasty has already supported them with a large number of crossbows and repeaters, and the Osman intends to personally lead a large number of crossbowmen to detour into the ambush and wait for the fleeing enemy army.

Because the Ottoman army was not all cavalry, the number of horses was limited, and in order to go around the north road to the ambush place, it was necessary to prepare horses for each ambush soldier, so that the Ottomans could only lead a maximum of 3,000 men and horses, and these 3,000 men and horses all used bows and crossbows, 1,000 volt crossbows, 1,000 crossbows, and 1,000 ordinary archers, and all soldiers were issued with an extra spear, so as not to be able to attack the enemy after the arrows were used.

"General, let me take these 3,000 soldiers and horses to ambush! You should personally lead the main force to attack the west gate of the enemy's camp. ”

The subordinate felt that Ottoman's plan was a little too risky, and opened his mouth to stop it.

Osman smiled: "The ambush in the north is the key to destroying the enemy in this battle, I have three thousand crossbowmen, the strength is enough, you don't have to worry at all, you need to command the main force of soldiers and horses, just attack on time, don't embarrass Lao Tzu." ”

"Alright! The general can rest assured that we will attack suddenly, Ziyad is not in the army, the enemy will inevitably flee from the north, we only need to occupy the enemy's camp and rob the enemy's supplies, and we will have Artik's soldiers and horses to pursue the enemy. ”

Said the adjutant general.

"Good, you always know what I mean, haha! It's time for me to go. ”

Osman was a lord who could not afford to be profitable, and he wanted to gain the credit of destroying the enemy and increase his prestige, and at the same time, he was also concerned about the large amount of military supplies in the enemy's camp, and he wanted both, and did not want to leave any of them to Artik.

At this moment, Osman personally led part of the soldiers and horses, leaving the camp and going north, even if he was discovered by the enemy scouts, it was difficult to predict his intentions, as for following all the way, it was simply wishful thinking, Osman was a very cautious person, he would leave a small number of hidden soldiers and horses along the way, as long as there were scouts passing by, he would definitely be arrested.

The area of the large battalion is so large, it is more difficult to clear the surrounding scouts, so it is necessary to take the northern route to confuse the enemy scouts when the troops are dispatched in advance.

As for the main force after nightfall, because it is a rapid march, there is no fear of being discovered, because even if it is discovered, the enemy army will not have time to prepare after getting the news, and as soon as you get the news, they will hit the front, and even, if the scout's legs and feet are slower, they may not be able to outrun the Ottoman army that is marching quickly.

The Artik mercenaries in the city, scattered out of the city are a thousand soldiers and horses on the east road and five artillery pieces of the Tang Dynasty, the main force has not left the city gate, and is also preparing to march in a hurry after nightfall, so as not to go out of the city too many soldiers and horses, arousing the vigilance of the enemy.

Datang artillery is a very rare weapon, if it is pulled out of the city directly, it will cause a large number of onlookers wherever it goes, so before leaving the city, Datang artillery is disassembled and loaded into trucks, and Datang soldiers are also dressed as ordinary businessmen, and ordinary people really can't see it.

Some of the 1,000 soldiers and horses wore the clothes of ordinary merchants, and some were not disguised, because there were not many soldiers and horses, and it could not be assumed that they were going to attack the enemy's camp, which was about the same scale as normal patrols and transfers.

Before nightfall, the thousand soldiers and horses had already entered the ambush from different roads, and only by nightfall could they get closer to the enemy's camp and enter their respective attack positions.

Because it was only a feint and the task was relatively light, the equipment of these thousand soldiers and horses was relatively weak, and there was no better weapon except for five artillery pieces.

Fortunately, the terrain in the east is relatively good, as long as a soldier and horse are deployed here to wave the flag and shout, it can scare the enemy army in the camp, so that the enemy army does not dare to break through in the east, and the terrain in the east is not good, and it is not realistic for the large army to break through, and there is no attack in the north, what good choice can the enemy army be attacked by multiple ways, of course, it is to break through by the north road, so as to fall into the trap of the Ottoman army.
