Chapter 219 is a change of strain

"My sun, there are not 20,000 but 15,000 in the past just now!" Yang Qing rubbed his astringent eyes and looked at the Great Food Cavalry that had just galloped under the hill in disbelief.

"More than 18,000 people." Guo Xi frowned, although he didn't understand what Yang Qing meant by the sun, he still reported his estimated number.

Speaking of which, the longer Yang Qing and Guo Xi get along, the easier it is to expose themselves to being more incompatible with this era, the most typical is the language and writing of daily conversations. But it's not surprising that Guo Xi has begun to become numb to these, and even has signs of being infected. Now in Jian Yuwei, some military terms of later generations that have been carried forward by Yang Qing have also begun to be gradually accepted and used by everyone.

"Have you counted?" Yang Qing glared at Guo Xi, not believing that he still had such ability.

"Don't be poor! Hurry up and talk about what to do now! Guo Xi got up and dusted off the sand from his body. They were so bold that they dared to climb this hill alone to get a glimpse of the enemy.

Yang Qing restrained the joking look on his face: "Duke Gao ordered us to block reinforcements, or attract enemy reinforcements to go elsewhere." What do you see? Do you want to take these 18,000 people to try the fire of our 5,000 Jian Yuwei? ”

Guo Xi's face changed greatly: "You're not still joking, are you?" ”

Yang Qing was puzzled: "No! How so? ”

Guo Xi's face was extremely solemn: "The enemy is more than 18,000 people!" This should just be the front team! ”

"Why?" Yang Qing felt embarrassed, and this emotion was more obvious than the shock he felt when he heard this.

"Have you seen their grain and grass baggage?" Guo Xi did not answer the rhetorical question.

Yang Qing's face finally changed: "You mean ......?"

"Yes!" Guo Xi nodded affirmatively, "There are so many of them, how can they not need provisions?" This road is Talas in front, Whitewater City in the back, and there is no town in between! Even if they kept up their speed, it would take three days to get from Whitewater City to Talas! Eighteen thousand cavalry, where do they go to get food and grass? Can the small city of Talas afford their big Buddha? There is only one possibility, their army is still behind, and at most it is only half a day's journey apart! ”

Yang Qing was dripping in cold sweat when he heard this, and his back seemed to be soaked!

I'm confused! What Guo Xi said is absolutely the only truth. Even the elite cavalry front team is close to 20,000 people, which shows how fierce the enemy is! If Jian Yuwei really put all his hands on, even if he really blocked the temporary pace of this front team, he would only be surrounded by the enemy troops that followed, and there would be no reason to survive!

"Why did the Great Food Coalition appear here and now? Didn't Gao Gong say that their main force should be on the line from Kang to Cao? Shocked, Yang Qing asked another crucial question.

"Something must have gone wrong." Guo Xi shook his head worriedly, "Gao Gong wants to take Talas first and attract the enemy army to gather and annihilate it. Even if the enemy army does not come, our Anxi army can use Talas as a stronghold to slowly map to the southwest, or fight, attack, defend, or retreat, all freely. But looking at the enemy's posture now, it doesn't look like he's going to attack the city at all, but it looks like he's rushing to the aid of the defenders in the city! I'm afraid that Talas has already been on guard, and may not be able to take it easily. As a result, our army will be forced to fight the enemy under the city of Talas! ”

Hearing this, Yang Qing sighed deeply in his heart.

It turns out that history is not so easy to change.

Even though the Great Food Coalition Army made a mistake in judgment, it finally entered the city of Talas before the Anxi Army. The Anxi army's strategic use of attacking the east and west was so ingenious and clever that it still could not get rid of the end of the bitter battle with the enemy army several times its size with its back to the Talas River.

Ziyad, what kind of Arab general is he? Why was his prediction so accurate? What kind of opponent can make Gao Xianzhi retreat in embarrassment and make the Anxi army suffer such heavy losses?

What Yang Qing didn't know was that it was not Qi Yade, the commander of the Great Food Alliance, who caused the current situation, but two people who had a sudden nerve-Apudullah and Talaridan.

Now Yang Qing only knows one thing, compared with the battle of Talas in history, the only difference today is:

Jian Yuwei is here.

"And ...... now?" Yang Qing turned his inquiring gaze to Guo Xi.

"The enemy is strong, and our previous deployment has to be adjusted!" Guo Xi stomped his foot hard and made up his mind.

"Zuo Lang will listen to Yang Qing's orders!"

Yang Qing subconsciously stood in a military posture, and then realized that something was wrong, when did Guo Xi give orders to himself with such a businesslike attitude?

"Heel, ...... are you?"

Guo Xi's handsome face was tense: "Life!" Yang Qing led the Diaoxiang Brigade to the west bank of Talas City, and secretly invited Gao Shuai to discuss the next step of our department! Make no mistake! ”

"Let me go back?" Yang Qing was a little confused.

"Zuo Lang will go and prepare quickly, and set off immediately!"

"What about you?" Yang Qing asked relentlessly.

"Ben will make up his own mind! There is no need for Zuo Lang to bother. Guo Xi's faint tone was the same as before.

"Nonsense!" Yang Qing stopped doing it, and even got a little angry, "Although the last general is humble and light, he is also the Zuo Lang general of Jian Yuwei!" The overall plan of this army will be known in the end! ”

After Guo Xi was silent for a moment, he smiled bitterly: "I will lead the remaining three brigades to act in this area. Our task is to draw in the enemy and block reinforcements. Although the current situation has changed, the military orders are like a mountain, and they must be carried out no matter what. ”

A trace of emotion flashed in Yang Qing's eyes, and he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Guo Xi smiled heartily: "Don't worry, I, Guo Xi, won't mess around." Jian Yuwei is your lifeline, but he is also my baby! As you said, if you can be yin, you will be yin, and if you can't be yin, you will fight; If you can, you can fight; If you can't fight, just change! I remember. Unconsciously, the guerrilla law that was tampered with beyond recognition by Yang Qing had taken root in Guo Xi's mind.

Yang Qing grinned, and suddenly remembered that he was not worried about Jian Yuwei's damage, but the situation in front of him......

"Heel! I think ......" Yang Qing always felt that Guo Xi's decision was a little inappropriate now.

"Yang Qing!" Guo Xi straightened his face again, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes, "Execute the military order!" ”

Guo Xi's judgment on the movements of the Great Food Alliance was basically correct before, but he still slightly overestimated the opponent in terms of time.

Ziyad led his army of tens of thousands not only half a day's journey from the cavalry he had sent before, but a full three days apart.

In Whitewater, Ziyad suppressed his anger and listened as Kazgan and Bazar continued to fight each other.

"Kazgan! You say it so lightly! Bazar was furious, his neck was red, "Whitewater City is not the territory of my Shi Country!" Do you think it would be so easy to requisition the grain and grass of an army of 60,000? Why don't you come! ”

"I don't dare to overstep my bounds." Kazgan continued his yin and yang weirdness, "Yes, Whitewater City is indeed not your Shi Kingdom's territory, but Tararidan is your brother-in-law!" Now that the main owner is gone, the in-laws can't help too much, right? If you don't think you can do it, well, you can bring Talaridan back! If it weren't for you who instigated it in the first place, how dare Tararitan openly disobey the orders of General Ziyad and go to Talas alone! ”

"Whew!" Bazar did what he said, he really spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and shot it at Kazgan's feet quickly, frightening Kazgan to take a few steps back, "You still have the face to say!" If it weren't for Tararidan's flying Talas, our plans would have been over! Don't think how powerful your Mi country's army is, I won't talk about how powerful you were beaten by the Anxi army back then, even if it is Shi Guo, who is now seriously injured, he can still clean you up! Do you think you can really on our heads? ”

"You fart!" Kazgan was furious, and he was about to step forward with a "bang" when he pulled out his saber, but suddenly there was an earth-shattering roar in his ears.

"Enough!"

Everyone was startled, looked up, and saw Qi Yad's gloomy face and a cold light in his eyes.

Bazar's heart was pounding, how could I forget this Lord? Wouldn't it be wise to say in front of him that Tararitan had disobeyed the order to come to the aid of Talas, and to scold him by the nose? Where does this put his face?

At this moment, Ziyad's heart naturally hated Bazar who was unabashed, but he also knew that now was definitely not the time to get angry. The residents of Whitewater City still need him to pacify, and he still needs to raise food and grass for his army. Moreover, if these two fools in front of them are severely punished now, the confidence and morale of the rest of the allied forces will inevitably be greatly affected, and may even collapse!

"Two generals, please calm your anger!" Ziyad forced himself to change into a kind expression, "Arguing will not solve the problem. General Bazar, Kazgan is also eager to fight, we have been waiting for tens of thousands of horses for two days, time is very precious, and now the situation on the Talas side is very critical. The entire main force of the Anxi army must have gone to attack, and we, whether it is the army of Apdullah, or the reinforcements of His Highness Talaridan, including the front army of Depra, which set out two days ago, are in urgent need of our reinforcements and supplies! Talas can't afford to feed so many people, so I ask you to work harder and raise enough food and grass as soon as possible. ”

Bazar snorted coldly, not daring to refute Ziad directly, but his face turned to the other side.

"General Kazgan!" Ziyad was a little more stern, "Now that we are in difficulty, it should be the time for sincere unity!" I don't want to see any more cynicism about General Bazar! In order to help General Bazar complete his mission as soon as possible, I suggest that from now on, you should take on the responsibility of pacifying the inhabitants of Whitewater! ”

“…… Be. Kazgan also knew that he was a little wrong, so he simply agreed honestly.

Ziyad turned to Bazar again: "General, I'll give you two more days to prepare the grain and grass as soon as possible, is it okay?" ”

"Yes." Seeing that Kazgan had softened, Bazar's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he happily agreed.

Qi Yade waved his hand: "Good!" We will set out at noon the day after tomorrow to annihilate the main force of the Anxi army under the city of Talas! ”
