Ziyad's 60,000 follow-up reinforcements finally arrived at the city of Talas on July 17, and with the 10,000 troops of the Tararidanshi Army and Abdullah who had previously guarded Talas, the total strength of the Great Food Alliance had exceeded 70,000. Of course, a small Talas city could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses, so Ziyad made a slight arrangement and ordered the army to be stationed in two parts on the north and south sides of Talas as horns, and then brought his cronies and generals into the city to discuss.

"Let's go! Upper City Tower. Ziyad was dressed in a wide robe, and although he looked tired, his eyes shone with terrifying excitement.

This can be regarded as the first high-level military meeting of the Great Food Coalition Army before the war, the front commander of the coalition army, Qi Yad, the 10,000th general of the Great Food Army, the general Mohad, the 40,000th general Apdullah, the prince of the stone prince, Tara Lidan, the general of the Anguo country, the general of the United States, the general Kazgan, and the general Bazar of the Kang country, all gathered together, and overlooked the camp of the Tang Anxi army from the tower of Talas City.

Ziyad looked around with satisfaction, and said with ease:

"You've done a great job!"

Everyone glanced at each other, and all bowed their heads and stroked their chests: "Obey the general's orders!" ”

Qi Yad smiled and walked around, locking on to Tararidan: "Your Royal Highness, your sense of smell is so sensitive, you can hold on to Talas before the Anxi army, I admire it very much!" ”

Tararidan bowed his head respectfully: "Don't dare." Xiao Wang ignored the military order, pulled out the camp without authorization, and asked the general to punish him! ”

Qi Yade's face was calm, and he waved his hand indifferently: "Although it violates the military order, it also blocks the main force of the Anxi Army because of this, and the merits and demerits are compensated, His Royal Highness the Prince does not have to mind." It's just that the next decisive battle is imminent, and our side is composed of multinational allied forces, if you want to completely eliminate Gao Xianzhi's Anxi army, it is better to have a unified dispatch, what do you say? ”

Tararidan sweated down: "Yes! Everything is only obeyed by the general's orders, and there is no disobedience to military orders! ”

"That's good, that's good!" Qi Yade laughed, and then changed his words, "His Royal Highness the Prince has been fighting with the Anxi Army for several days, how do you feel?" ”

Tara Lidan collected his thoughts, stepped forward slowly, looked at the * battalion under the city with flags waving and frowned: "Anxi Army, what a fierce enemy!" ”

The generals of the Great Food Coalition Army usually talk cheerfully, but after all, they are people who have been in battle for a long time, and now that the soldiers are in the city, just looking at the situation of camping in the city, they know that the opponent cannot be underestimated, and when they heard Tararidan's words, their expressions were serious and silent.

"Four days ago, the official battle began, our army suffered heavy casualties, fortunately the Anxi army was only the first to arrive at the front, yesterday their main force suddenly arrived, our army felt very difficult, even the new force led by General Mohammed was also put into battle, Rao so, our army's casualties are still more than three times that of the Anxi army. If the general hadn't personally led the army to arrive today, the destruction of the city would not have been known! ”

When Ziyad heard this, his heart sank, no wonder he didn't see his deputy just now: "What about the Muhammads?" What exactly are the casualties of our troops? ”

Tararidan's head hung lower, and he couldn't see his expression clearly: "General Muhammad was unfortunately injured by a stray arrow, and he has been carried down for treatment. But don't worry, general, it didn't hurt the vital point, and it should be fine. Our army has suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and in order to avoid its edge, it has retreated on all fronts. After a pause, Tararidan still added, "Xiao Wang has to say that in the end, in the end, it is the elite of Khorasan under the command of the general, well-trained, and General Muhammad is well commanded. ”

Ziad finally heard the good news in a bad news, and he knew in his heart that what kind of command was well-trained and well-trained, maybe there were, but it was certainly not the main reason for the disparity in the proportion of casualties. The soldiers of the Stone Kingdom were defending their homeland and the country, and they were nominally subject to Muhammad's control. He also secretly told him to do his best to preserve the strength of the Khorasan headquarters, so that the result can be imagined.

It was not easy to accept these words, and after a few words of encouragement and praise for Talaridan, he began to cheer:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Everyone has seen that today Ben will bring another 40,000 elite soldiers, and besides, there are 100,000 troops on the way to Talas, which will be there in ten days! No matter how brave the Anxi army is and how cunning Gao Xianzhi is, it can only be doomed to failure and annihilation in the face of a prosperous army like ours! I decided to organize a large-scale raid tonight to frustrate the Anxi army! ”

After that, Qi Yade took two steps forward and hugged Talaridan's shoulders affectionately: "Your Royal Highness, I have wronged you in the past few days. Tonight, please rest in the city, Your Highness, please go to the top of the city and see how Mohad destroys the enemy! ”

Qi Yade held the city wall in his hand, looked at the big banner of the word "Gao" fluttering high in the * camp, and nodded slightly.

On the hill behind the camp of the Anxi Army, Gao Xianzhi led Zhang Ji, Guo Xi, and Yang Qing to also look at the dusty Talas city wall.

Looking at the black-pressed Great Food Coalition army outside the city hurriedly setting up tents, building watchtowers, and arranging horse rejection fences, the disappointment in Zhang Ji's eyes became more and more intense: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" If their reinforcements arrive two hours late, I will be able to take Talas!" ”

Gao Xianzhi pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

The more Zhang Ji thought about it, the more unwilling he became, turned around sharply, and clenched his fists to ask for his life: "Gao Gong!" The last general asked for his life, took advantage of the enemy's reinforcements to arrive in a hurry, his foothold was unstable, and he rushed to kill him for a while, even if he couldn't break the city, he would greatly damage his vitality! ”

Gao Xianzhi said coldly: "Then how many soldiers and horses do you need?" ”

"Only 3,000 iron horses are enough!" Zhang Ji answered categorically.

"Three thousand?" Gao Xianzhi was stunned, "Stuffed between the teeth of the big cannibal?" ”

Zhang Ji's face suddenly turned red, and he was about to show his heart, but was stopped by Gao Xianzhi waving his hand.

"Yuanji, you still lack training." Gao Xianzhi raised his horsewhip leisurely, "Our opponent is not so easy to get along with, and it is by no means comparable to those small states and small countries before!" You think they're a mess even camping, aren't they? But the cavalry on both sides are on guard, the people are dismounted, but the guys are there! Don't look at the lack of people, if you really rush, they will definitely not meet you head-on, detour back to the back of your ass, and they will be able to wrap you up immediately! Also, although the black pressure behind me is not real, I am sure that it must be their longbowmen! No matter how fast you are, they still have time to shoot three or four rounds in a salvo. ”

Zhang Ji followed Gao Xianzhi's guidance, looking at the little details that he had just ignored, and his breathing gradually became short.

There is no need for a heavy hammer to ring the drum, Gao Xianzhi still knows his lieutenant very well, and slowly changed his head again:

"Besides, do you really think that with the means of my Anxi army, we can't take the city pass before the enemy's reinforcements arrive?"

At this time, not only Zhang Ji, but even Guo Xi and Yang Qing were all moved: "What does Gao Gong mean......?" ”

"The enemy is huge." Gao Xianzhi sighed slightly, "Since Deziyin reported the enemy's situation, I have estimated that there must be more than just so many of the Great Food Alliance forces coming today. If you fight for thousands of casualties, and the guys in your hands are all used, the 20,000 or 30,000 defenders in Talas City can still be gnawed, but what is the use of gnawing down? In less than half a day, the remnants of the withdrawn soldiers and reinforcements can immediately surround this small broken city! At that time, it will be a dilemma, there is no reason not to enter the city, but all of it goes in and can't be opened, half of it is in? Die faster! Do you think you should fight hard to break the city? ”

Guo Xi nodded thoughtfully, but Yang Qing frowned: "Although the truth is so, if you can defend the city, after all, you have something to rely on......

Gao Xianzhi smiled and shook his head, he knew that Yang Qing was not from the army at all, and he had a rare patience to explain: "The big cannibal will think the same way." Such a large-scale engagement between the two armies is the first momentum! Once you have a 'guard' mind before the official start of the fight, it will be difficult to do anything. Think about it, if you are the commander of the army who is a big cannibal, and you rush to the city to find that you have just lost it, and you have the advantage in the number of people in your hands, the so-called one blow, can you fight it back without playing with your life? On this side is the defenders who spent a lot of money to fight back, and on the other side is a large number of reinforcements in full swing, can we afford this loss? It's better to be like now, let's not do this thing of defending the city, and let these beards guard it. Sharp, if you consume it, it will be weak. ”

Saying this, everyone understood, Yang Qing nodded admiringly: "Gao Gong is wise!" ”

"Hehehe," Gao Xianzhi smiled disapprehantly, "It's not wise at all, Lao Gao has just eaten military food for a few more years." ”

"Gao Gong, what are we going to do next?" Guo Xi respectfully clenched his fists and asked.

Gao Xianzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Talas: "Looking at this posture, the enemy chief is also a soldier who understands soldiers, and he must know the truth that the army's spirit can be used." Now that there are many people, they must rush us as soon as possible, maybe, tonight! We're going to have to work hard to entertain you. ”

Zhang Ji, Guo Xi, and Yang Qing bowed and clenched their fists in unison: "Obey the orders of the high prince!" ”

Gao Xianzhi pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Xilie, have Ge Lulu and that Hu Shang been arranged?" ”

Guo Xi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gao Gong, that Ayiji has been strictly guarded, and Mouluo Qili is a living pan-person, and now their internal hidden dangers have not been clarified, and they will not dare to have two hearts." ”

"Hmm......" Gao Xianzhi nodded, "This is their main force, and it seems that the boss of the big cannibal has also entered the city." He must use this move, and the Hu Shang said that he had not had time to send the news back...... Ziyin, what do you think? ”

Yang Qing's eyes rolled, and he said happily: "It seems that we have to let people get a letter." ”

Gao Xianzhi asked with a smile, "But what is the best way?" ”

Yang Qing blinked slyly: "Actually, we don't have to have a headache ourselves at all, the last general has seen Ayiji's belongings, but there are a few sturdy book pigeons." He wanted to go farther that day and then release it, but unfortunately he was stopped by the general in advance. Speaking of which, it's better to let him release the pigeon and do it again, and save trouble! ”

"Hahaha!" Gao Xianzhi smiled for a long time, "Let's go, go back and arrange!" ”
