Under this arrangement, there was a dramatic scene in the Western Regions.

The Arab soldiers besieged the city and controlled the kings of the Western Regions, while Pei Min of the Tang Dynasty swept the second and third figures of the Western Regions, as well as all the soldiers.

It is normal for a big country to coerce a small country.

Coercion to this part, throughout the ages, but only once.

Under the power of the strong, the weak country has no power to resist.

However, because Pei Min did this, there were suddenly more than 60,000 soldiers and horses available in his hands: 20,000 Qarlu cavalry, plus 40,000 soldiers from the Western Regions......

He originally controlled the soldiers and horses of the four towns, 150,000 in Hexi and Longyou, and 50,000 in Anxi and Beiting, but Qinghai Lake, Hexi, and Longyou also needed to leave soldiers and horses to garrison, and it was impossible to bring them all.

Therefore, in this campaign, he had 120,000 Hexi and Longyou troops, plus 15,000 Anxi troops and 20,000 Beiting troops......

After careful calculation, there are as many as 210,000 military horses that can be deployed in Pei Min's hands......

To this day, Pei Min can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, but it is the first time that he has commanded such a large army.

What is the concept of 210,000 soldiers?

If these soldiers were to be arranged in a phalanx, it would need a radius of more than ten miles; If they were to be lined up in marching columns, the queue would have been arranged from long to Luoyang......

The eating, drinking, and sleeping of 210,000 soldiers and horses is a serious problem.

Fortunately, Pei Min has rich experience in receiving orders and has enough knowledge of military science, so he does not have any discomfort, and he is handy.

The mighty army passed through Shattered Leaf City and arrived at Talas.

This core point of the confrontation between the Tang Empire and the Arab Empire in history is now completely in the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

After Pei Min and Gao Xianzhi converged, they inquired about the movements of Arabia.

Gao Xianzhi is also a generation of famous generals, although Pei Min's order was not issued, he was already fully prepared, and he did not hesitate to answer, and said: "There is no abnormal movement, just a non-stop increase in troops, according to the news from the front, Arabia has gathered 180,000 soldiers." There are still 20,000 on the way, that is, they will arrive in the next few days. ”

"Two hundred thousand, not a lot! But we're more than 10,000 more than them......"

Pei Min said with a smile, and then said with a straight face: "Go, take your soldiers and horses, and we will meet the lion together." You led the Beiting Army as the front, and rushed to the city of Thirsty Sai to join Cheng Qianli and Li Guangbi. ”

The battle situation was urgent, and he did not intend to stop at Talas, but led the army straight to the front.

Gao Xianzhi didn't say a word, and took the order.

Under Li Guangbi's bluff, Abdullah abandoned the siege of Cheng Qianli and retreated to Tuozhi City.

Although Cheng Qianli and the besieged Anxi army suffered heavy losses, they were also saved.

Cheng Qianli's defeat this time was all due to Alyda pretending to be the king of Bakhana.

As soon as Abdullah retreated, Cheng Qianli immediately changed his tactics, fired a horse pistol, and directly attacked and killed Ada.

With the help of Li Guangbi's cooperation, Cheng Qianli was defeated first and then won, not only defeated the rebels of Alida and took his head, but also took advantage of the situation to attack the city of Thirsty City, using Thirsty City as a camp stronghold, peeking at the city of Tuozhi thirty miles away.

Three days later, Pei Min led his army to the city of Thirsty City.

He personally surveyed the surrounding terrain and arranged for the armies to be armed.

The army of 210,000 made him divided into more than 30 camps, which were scattered all over the land of the Western Regions.

As soon as this camp was arranged, Pei Min ordered the generals to enter the account to discuss military affairs.

In a short time, forty or fifty generals in bright armor were divided into four columns on the left and right, and sat upright on squarely cut mats.

Although they are tall, short, fat and thin, they are all different, but without exception, the killing spirit on their bodies all shows that the generals who can have a place in this military tent are not soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles and have been on the battlefield for a long time.

These people are high-willed and full of fierce generals, but they are silent, which makes the big tent show a strict atmosphere of purging and killing.

Pei Min sat behind the wide bookcase, with one hand on his cheek, and didn't say a word.

He didn't speak, and none of the many generals in the hall dared to speak.

The atmosphere was solemn.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the guards outside the house came to report that Li Guangbi and Xin Jinggao were coming.

The tent door opened, and the two men walked in one after the other.

Li Guangbi is a Khitan, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose and a wide mouth, and a square face with Chinese characters, which is his iconic appearance, not handsome, but quite weathered, and when he looks forward to it, he is very powerful.

Especially after leading the soldiers and horses, he is only in his early twenties, but he has the wind of a general.

One of the generals beside him was of medium stature and slightly chubby, and he was more flexible than Li Guangbi's rigidity.

"I've seen Pei Shuai!"

Seeing them come in, Pei Min sat up straight and said coldly: "Li Guangbi, are you guilty?" ”

Li Guangbi was originally expressionless, but after listening to Pei Min's questioning at this time, he lowered his head and said: "The last general is guilty and left the barracks without permission, and he doesn't dare to deny it." ”

Pei Min was furious and said: "I disagreed with my boss, and I led the crowd to leave the camp without authorization, which is very domineering!" If everyone were like you, how would this soldier be brought? The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he said in a loud voice: "Come on, take down the two, and each of them will be heavily punished with thirty military sticks!" In addition, Li Guangbi did not obey military orders, dismissed him from his post as a general, and eliminated all his past credits. ”

In the silence, the second will be pressed down and reprimanded with a cane, and only the sound of "fluttering" and "fluttering" will be heard.

The military tent hit Li Guangbi and Xin Jinggao on the back.

The two were stunned, but the smell of blood gradually permeated the tent.

Thirty staffs, with the last one dropped by the executioner.

Pei Min waved his hand and said, "Pick it up." ”

Thirty military staff are beaten, and the man who is beaten with iron will not be able to get off the ground without ten days and half a month.

Li Guangbi and Xin Jinggao were almost holding to stand.

Pei Min looked at the second general, and suddenly laughed again: "The night attack on the sand dunes, the two generals defeated 5,000 soldiers in one fell swoop with 2,000 soldiers, and seized the enemy's grain and grass. He also forced the enemy general Abdullah to retreat outside the city of Thirsty City, and assisted General Cheng Qianli to capture the city of Thirsty City, so that our army would have a foothold in this western wilderness. Such an achievement cannot be ignored. Concession, Li Guangbi overstepped the command of the original music department, and I will personally give you a thousand-mile horse as a reward. ”

"Pei Shuai?" Li Guangbi looked up in disbelief.

Pei Min laughed and got up and stepped forward and said, "You left the camp without permission, this is a big mistake, and you should be punished; However, destroying the enemy army, indirectly relieving the danger of Tuozhi City, saving General Cheng and the danger, he contributed a lot to the capture of Thirsty City. Played the prestige of my court, this is a great achievement, deserve a reward! When the punishment has been punished, when the reward is naturally not worse than you...... However, in the future, pay attention to the fact that you should not be radical and radical in handling things, although you have the talent of the world, but the victory of the enemy depends on the combined strength of the three armies, and it is not possible to ......do it alone."

Li Guangbi endured the pain and said deeply: "The last general will know his mistake!" ”
