Chapter Forty-Eight: The Frozen Period Has Arrived
The ice period of the Kabul River came as promised.
The wonders of nature amazed Pei Min and the others.
It is said that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, but the Kabul River was affected by the cold air, and the river was covered with ice overnight, which was a truly shocking sight.
Pei Min frowned and looked at the information in his hand, threw it on the desk with a little annoyance, and said, "I made a mistake, that reckless man is determined to fight this battle with us." ”
Pei Min cut off the supply lines of Arabia, just because he didn't want to fight a meaningless war.
But Mosley Masa's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Pei Min.
If it were Pei Min, he would inevitably return to the army to rest at this time.
Then gather Tianzhu's supplies, grain and grass to survive this winter.
Wait until the beginning of spring next year, and then make plans.
The Helmand Bridge was difficult to build for a while, but the simple wooden bridge could be built in two or three months, and it was dangerous to transport grain and grass, but it was barely enough.
After resting and recuperating and the grain and grass are complete, they will come back again.
This should be the perfect way to do it.
But Moslemassa did not do this, but led an army back to Peshawar to rest, taking all the grain and grass for his own use, and the rest of the soldiers scattered to find food for the people.
Let the soldiers ask the people for food and survive on their own.
Tianzhu is not small, and there is no problem in feeding 80,000 soldiers in a huge country.
But the soldiers are very murderous, and if they are evil, it will be a great evil, a hundred times more powerful than a hooligan ruffian.
Even the Tang Army, which had strict military discipline, had a record of offending the people many times in history.
Just like Hou Junji in the past, he once took the treasures of Gaochang as his own privately, so that the soldiers under his command followed suit and robbed the wealth in Gaochang City.
The Tang army has this situation, let alone the Arab soldiers?
Once a precedent is opened, it will inevitably cause disasters in Tianzhu.
Pei Min didn't have the mentality of a virgin and went to pity the people of Tianzhu, but Mosley Massa's iron-hearted battle made him particularly uncomfortable.
Mosley Massa's provocation, he could not fail to answer. This kind of completely meaningless battle, he is repelled from the bottom of his heart.
"This Remassa may be superior in tactics, but in terms of strategy, it is a two-hundred-and-five, and it does not play cards according to common sense."
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said: "This is an opportunity, Lei Massa connived at the looting of the soldiers, and the people of Tianzhu will definitely be boiling." According to the understanding of his subordinates, when the Arabs first captured Tianzhu, their methods were domineering. swept all the way, and those who did not accept it were killed. This move brought a huge deterrent to Tianzhu, and he didn't dare to resist, but he definitely had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak. Today, the Arab soldiers are openly plundering, which is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. There is a situation where the government forces the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel. We can send people to stir up the revolt of the suffering people, give them appropriate support, and let them attack the rear, which will be of great benefit to our future. ”
Gao Shi also said: "Tianzhu is the origin of Buddhism, and Arabia regards Buddhism as pagan. We can take advantage of this and say that it is better to move a highly respected mage. ”
Pei Min bowed his head and said: "Just do what you say, but don't rush yet." It doesn't have much effect now, and after the Arab heavens are angry and resentful, they are doing this. After all, the greater the oppression, the greater the backlash. ”
This flaw sent to the door, do not use the white do not use.
It's just that these are the last sections, and what Pei Min really cares about is the upcoming unavoidable showdown.
It's getting colder and colder.
The ice inevitably gets thicker and thicker, and in the middle of winter the Kabul River has formed a thick layer of ice, and there is nothing unusual about people running away.
Mosley Massa struck without a doubt, and he evaded Pei Min's defensive line and went around to the upper reaches of the Kabul River, where he crossed it.
The upper reaches of the Kabul River are so turbulent and so many reef whirlpools that it was previously impassable for ships. But because of the ice, it is also rampant.
Mosley Massa stood on top of the hillock, heavily armed.
After the forced withdrawal, Mosley Massa planned the battle.
There is no reason, and there is no right or wrong.
I just want to fight such a battle, and win such a battle.
Mosley Massa has been on the field for half his life and has never met an opponent like Pei Min.
It seems that the two sides have been at war for a long time, but it can be said in detail. Pei Min always stands on the active side, taking advantage of his advantages and hitting him weakly.
His superior forces could not be brought into play at all on the river.
In the face of this series of passivity, Mosley Massa simply put everything aside and forcibly forced Pei Min to fight with Yiyi, smoothing out the advantages and disadvantages of both sides.
It's not that Mosley Massa is unaware of the consequences of this, but he has absolute confidence in himself.
As long as he wins, all the aftermath is a joke.
Just as he attacked the holy city of Jerusalem, the Romans surrounded him from all sides in order to protect their holy city.
Retreat is the only option.
But Mosley Massa was willful, regardless of the forcible taking of Jerusalem for two months, and the Romans who directly hit him were completely dumbfounded.
Crossing the Kabul River, Mosremassa is now located in a hilly area. The Sangrah Mountains stretch from the northwest behind them, merging with the vast plains to form numerous rolling hills.
Due to the high terrain, the view is extremely open.
The cold wind was also relatively violent, blowing his beard and hair.
The hardy weeds and shrubs around are rustling together.
It's obviously a good battleground.
Mosley Massa nodded with satisfaction, he didn't dare to go too deep for the time being, he was seeking to fight, not death.
It's the perfect battlefield to advance and retreat in.
"The whole army rests, there is no need to be in a hurry, even if the Tang army moves fast, it will take at least half an hour for the large army to drive, we are rushing all the way, and the physical strength is quite expensive, and it is the most important thing to maintain the spirit and save physical strength at the moment."
Mosley Massa is not a big boss, but very delicate in the details of the march.
I waited for most of the hour.
The mighty Tang Army appeared in his sight, and the banners that covered the sky and the sun were all over the plain.
Mosley Massa only felt his blood boiling, and his whole body was hot.
"Go and give him a dismount first! General Gabitt, you lead 3,000 cavalry to fight at the enemy, drag them down, and prevent them from calmly arranging their formation! I will arrange support ...... according to the situation of the battle."
Fairness, how can there be fairness in war.
Mosley Massa is not the legendary Song Xianggong, Pei Min's army has not yet been deployed, he has already launched an offensive test first, planning to attack the Tang army, and not give them time to calmly set up the formation.
Gabit was a black man, a purebred black man, black as ink.
Listening to Mosley Massa being the first to send himself out of battle, he showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and said loudly: "Don't worry, the lion king, and watch me rush the opponent's lineup!" ”
