Arabia's next action completely confirmed Gao Xianzhi's guess.

Wave after wave of attacks, but each time it was in moderation, never too deep, and consumed more soldiers, but it did not give the Tang army a chance to rest.

The 130,000-strong Arab army divided Moslemassa into thirteen divisions. One is ten thousand, one attacks for an hour a day a day, and the rest rests.

There is still a surplus after the thirteen parts are spread, but the Tang army only has 50,000.

The daily rotation is nowhere near as easy as Arabia's.

After more than a month of passive defense, all the generals in the Tang Army who participated in the war felt tired.

Of course, as Pei Min said, the army of 50,000 people, Gao Xianzhi's Qu Department, one did not move, and they were recuperating comfortably in the rear.

The Arab strategy of exhaustion has obviously achieved good results.

But with the ice period approaching, Mosley Massa is ready to make a big move.

However, on this day, it was just as the first heavy snow came.

Bad news came.

Abu Muslim panicked and broke into Mosremassa's tent, and said solemnly: "Lion King, I don't know why, our army's food and grass have not yet been delivered, and they are about to run out of food?" ”

Logistics has its own logistics responsibility, but because of the heavy snowfall, Abu Muslim was worried that the snow would wet the dry food, so he went to the grain depot to check it, and only then did he find out that this was a serious problem.

Mosley Massaho, as a battle-hardened marshal, knows far more than anyone else the importance of food and grass.

"How is that possible? Brother Wang and I had already made an appointment before the war, and the armaments and materials were mainly on our eastern front, and my military needs were met in advance, so how could I run out of food? How much time do you have left? ”

Abu Muslim said: "My subordinates have just been there to investigate, and it has been less than a month. ”

Mosley Massa said blankly: "Why did you eat so quickly?" ”

In his memory, there should be a month and a half of food.

Abu Muslim said with a bitter face: "Our army has been attacking for a month without stopping. With this daily dispatch, the soldiers' appetite inevitably increased, and they consumed more than expected. ”

An ominous premonition came to mind, and Mosley Massa immediately said: "Suspend the offensive, go and find out the reason, it is impossible for Brother Wang to cut off my food." ”

Walking out of the tent and looking at the goose feathers and snow drifting in the sky, Mosley Massa couldn't help but think in his heart: "Is this the reason?" ”

The camp of the Don Army on the south bank of the Kabul River.

The news of the slowdown of the Arab offensive reached the Great Horde as soon as possible.

Xu Yuan laughed and got up and said, "In this way, is it a success?" ”

Pei Min supported his head with one hand, looked sideways at the map not far away, and said with a smile on the desk with his fingers: "It's indeed successful, Sun Zhou has a message." The Helmand River has been blown up, and the Arab grain convoy has been cut off......"

The Helmand River, which originates in the Selselkoba Mountains in Tocharo, is the flattest road from Persia to Tianzhu.

In later generations, the Helmand River had become a desert due to soil erosion and salinization, but at this time, the Helmand River was the only road connecting the east and the west.

The transportation of grain for hundreds of thousands of troops was so large that the roads were impassable.

The destruction of the Helmand Bridge undoubtedly cut off the Arab logistics channel.

Gao Shi said happily: "Not only that, but the huge fleet of chariots and horses transporting grain and grass is now stuck on the way to transport grain, and it is stopped on the west bank of the Helmand River, and the amount of grain and grass they consume every day is astronomical. As far as I know, the Helmand River is not prone to ice, and it is only when it is coldest that it is possible to freeze, and sometimes it is not even freezing. Their convoy has been waiting for a few months, and I am afraid that the grain and grass they brought will be almost eaten. ”

"And rain and snow!" Xu Yuan said excitedly: "The west bank of the Helmand River is an expanded land, and there is no place to hide from rain and snow. Once the sky is not beautiful and it rains heavily, the grain transport team has no way to hide and cannot hide, which will inevitably cause cold illness and greatly affect morale. Think about what kind of person Zhuge Wuhou was back then, that is, a wise man like him, there was nothing he could do if the food route was not passable, let alone Mosley Massa? ”

Pei Min got up and said, "Affected by food, the Arab retreats have become settled. It probably won't come again until the spring of next year. We should make good use of this opportunity to prepare more timber and stone to strengthen the riverbank defense. At the same time, the matter of the military cantonment should be dealt with as a priority. As long as we hold out for a few months and wait for the corn to mature, the logistical pressure on our army will be greatly reduced. At that time, there is no need to fight against 130,000 with 50,000 to fight so passively......"

******

The Helmand Bridge was blown up, and the logistics team transporting grain and grass was stuck on the way, unable to advance or retreat.

The news reached Mosley Masa's ears.

The lion king of Arabia stood still for a while, and his heart instantly cooled half, and suddenly scolded angrily: "Damn." ”

The daily food needs of an army of 130,000 are astronomical.

Pei Min suddenly attacked Tibet when the Arabs were not ready for the war.

Naturally, there is a shortage of this grain and grass.

Pei Min's hand did not cause any casualties to Arabia, but it hit Arabia exactly seven inches in the death hole, giving them a heavy blow, so that they didn't even have a chance to fight back.

"It can't be consumed any longer!"

Abu Muslim couldn't imagine that Pei Min would make such a move at this critical time, and said calmly: "Lion King, withdraw." While there is still food, go back and rest. Continue to consume, and when the food is exhausted, it is just the time when the great river is frozen. At that time, the situation changed, and it was not us who attacked. ”

Not only in the East, but even in the West, there are countless examples of food and grass shortages, turning defeat into victory.

Moslemassa's fists tightened and loosened, looking at the map on the side, thinking about the current situation, the more he thought about the nameless anger that sprung up.

Obviously, he has the advantage of troops, but he is in the other party's calculations step by step, and he suffers losses again and again.

Thinking that he has been fighting for half his life, he has always fought more with less and is invincible.

Now he is forced to look like this bear, he is really aggrieved, and he has nowhere to vent.

Is he really inferior to him?

Suddenly, Mosley Massa drew his sword, slashed the map in front of him in half with both hands, and said angrily, the golden retriever on one end was really like a lion, and said angrily: "Abu, you lead 80,000 soldiers to Tianzhu to forage for food, and find a way to solve the food problem by yourself." Whether it's robbing or collecting from the people, feel free. All the food will be left for me, and you can only take five days' food with you......"

"The Lion King!" Abu Muslim's heart trembled and he cried out in horror.

Mosley Massa said: "Now immediately withdraw back to Peshawar!! ”

He didn't want to hear anything at all, his eyes flashed with anger and fighting intent......
