Chapter 18 Entering the urn and cutting off the grain
Cheng Qianli is a fierce general.
A brave and good general!
The biggest problem with people like him is that they are brave and resolute.
This kind of courage and courage is a double-edged sword, sometimes it can achieve miraculous results, and other times it is self-defeating.
Cheng Qianli said without hesitation: "Where is Arabia to prepare?" ”
Ji Bozhi still spoke Tang he didn't understand.
The interpreter dutifully explained the situation, "I camped twenty miles away, probably waiting for reinforcements." The general might as well go with us into the city, and with the general here, the thirsty city will be safe. ”
Cheng Qianli is willing to waste time, and the translator's mouth also reveals vital information.
Arab reinforcements did not arrive.
"As long as the enemy in front of you is defeated, the strength of the defenders of Tuozhi City will also be weakened, and at that time, you will attack with the Fengjiedu in Tuozhi City, and the danger of Tuozhi City will be lifted!"
Cheng Qianli thought in his heart, directly rejected the kindness of curbing Bozhi, and said loudly: "King Bahana is guarding the city, watch me go and defeat the Arabs and completely solve the crisis." ”
As soon as his voice fell, he had already whistled, and led the soldiers and horses directly around the city of thirsty Sai to the place pointed out by the interpreter.
Cheng Qianli didn't notice this "curbing waves" at all, looking at their distant figures, his eyes flashing with coldness.
"Containing waves" is not "containing waves" at all.
It is indeed the king of Bakhana, but the real one is dead, at the hands of this fake "Suppressor".
The name of the fake "Suppressor" is Arada, and he is also the royal family of Bakhana.
As early as the third year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, Tubo conspired with Arabia to seize the Western Regions in an attempt to disadvantage the Tang Dynasty.
They first targeted the country of Bakhana, a tribe descended from the ancient Wusun kingdom that had been attached to the Tang Dynasty for a long time.
Because of the death of the old emperor, the two heirs to the throne began to fight among themselves.
The Tibetans and the Great Eclipse jointly established Alaida as the king of Palkhana, and sent troops to attack the king of Palkhana.
After the defeat of the Suppression Wave, he fled to the Anxi Protectorate and asked the Tang army for help.
At that time, Zhang Xiaosong was inspecting the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and after receiving the military information, he immediately said to Lu Xiujing, the Protector of Anxi: "If you don't save it, you won't be able to order the Western Regions." ”
Zhang Xiaosong, as a literati, led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from various nearby tribes, set out from Qiuzi, adopted the strategy of driving straight ahead, advanced thousands of miles to the west, conquered hundreds of cities one after another, and entered the territory of Dabakhana in November.
From the time to the time of unitary, in just a few hours, Zhang Xiaosong slaughtered three cities in a row and captured more than 1,000 people.
Ajada fled into the valley with only a few horsemen to take refuge.
After this battle, the eight surrounding countries did not dare to compete with the Tang army, and sent envoys to surrender one after another.
Arida escaped the catastrophe and went on to defect to the Arab Empire.
This time, Arabia was able to descend from the sky, and it was also the path of the Araba leader.
In order to reward Arida for his exploits, the Arabs helped Araja reconquer the kingdom of Pakhana and set up a strategy to invite the king into the urn......
Cheng Qianli's bypassing of Thirsty City was undoubtedly in danger of being caught between the front and back.
**********
Late at night, the wind was getting stronger.
The war horse shook its hooves in panic, and Li Guangbi reached out to caress its neck to soothe its emotions.
In the dark night, Li Guangbi's eyes showed a little anxiety.
This time, he led his troops out of the camp without authorization, which is a capital crime of killing the head.
But Li Guangbi didn't want to know that there was a trap in front of him, and he had to step on it one step, so he simply went back and led his troops directly.
Li Guangbi didn't dare to go back to Liangzhou, he knew in his heart that if he went back, the first person to kill him would be Pei Min.
As a fugitive general, if Pei Min didn't kill, he wouldn't be able to explain to the soldiers.
The only way is to make meritorious service, make great meritorious service, and offset the merits and demerits, so as to avoid one's own mistakes.
Li Guangbi waited for the news of the sentinel, whether it was right or wrong, whether he could keep his good head or not, it depended on today.
Several black shadows came from far and near, Xin Jinggao rushed to the near place with ecstasy, and shouted excitedly: "Here, here, it's really the Arab grain transport team, you guessed it." ”
Xin Jinggao is a good friend of Li Guangbi, and they have been confidants of each other since Shuofang.
Li Guangbi was transferred to the Western Regions, and Xin Jinggao was also with him.
"Phew! Lao Tzu said that the eight lambs of Arabia came so quickly, they must not have brought enough food. He himself was a little excited, and he was right.
Li Guangbi is the best at using strange, and his whimsical ideas are endless.
The Arab siege of the city was too fast and unexpected.
At a time when the world was amazed by this Arab move, Li Guangbi saw a bit of a fighter.
There are two roads from Arabia to the Western Regions, one is to Tianzhu and go north from Xindu River.
The other road is from Anxizhou through Mulu Prefecture, all the way to the east, to Tuozhi City.
This road is hundreds of miles long.
In addition to picking the right route, the key is to be fast.
This piece means that the accompanying weight is insufficient and there is a shortage of food.
Before the arrival of the Arab army, there must be a convoy of food to provide food for the surprise army.
Li Guangbi grasped this point, boldly bypassed the city of Thirsty Sai and Tuozhi with 2,000 soldiers, appeared on the west side of the Arab army, and penetrated deep into the rear of the enemy.
Licking his lips, Li Guangbi said, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”
"I'm afraid it's five thousand!" Xin Jinggao frowned slightly, they did not have an advantage in terms of troops.
"Just right!" Li Guangbi stretched out his hand and retracted it inward: "Too much, we can't eat, less is not enough, this five thousand, just right!" Jinggao, we have 700 military horses, you go and pick 700 soldiers who are good at riding, and divide them into seven squads: A, B, C, D, E, G, and Geng, each with 100 people, and so on will circle around the enemy's grain convoy, keep going around in circles, and pretend to be a large army. The rest of the people follow me, let's not attack, but scare them for the night. By the time dawn came, knowing how many of our men and horses were, we would have long been exhausted and demoralized. ”
Xin Jinggao's eyes lit up, and he realized instantly.
The Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and the nights here are even more lonely.
Silence!
The convoy of 5,000 Arabians hurried through the night, and the people were a little exhausted, and they did not want to speak, wasting their energy, thinking only of delivering this cart of grain and grass as soon as possible, so that they could be relieved as soon as possible.
In the silent and dark night, an inexplicable black shadow fell from the sky, and then it was sharp and loud, like a sharp blade cutting through the sky.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound that broke the sky from all directions!
After a round of fire, the torches of the grain carriers were extinguished, and darkness shrouded the chaotic and desperate land.
The sound of horses' hooves instantly sounded in all directions, and in this dark night, the Arab grain convoy did not know how many men and horses there were on the other side, but felt that it was in all directions.
Suddenly, the fire came on again......
The flames came more and more into the air and landed around the grain carts, illuminating the scene nearby and setting some of the grain carts on fire.
The fire made the situation in Arabia clear, and their enemies were heard and not seen from the beginning.
