Chapter 234: The Battle of Talas (7)

The next day, Zhang Juntai was woken up by the sound of war drums outside the camp tent. When he turned over with a frown, and was about to continue to hide under the warm wool blanket and continue to sleep, he suddenly opened his eyes, and then got up and sat up cleanly. It occurred to him that today was the day of the official start of the war, so he crawled out of his bed even sleepless, and put on his armor half-asleep, and then walked out of his tent.

The camp was bustling at this time, but it was lively, but there was no confusion. Inside, the soldiers who had already assembled early were methodically collecting their equipment under the leadership of their respective military commanders, and then went to eat breakfast, after which they lined up in the open space in the camp and waited for the order to attack.

Zhang Juntai, who had something in his heart, also ate something indiscriminately at this time, and after barely filling his stomach, he went to prepare to find the protagonist on today's battlefield.

I didn't go far before I saw Fu Wen and Ellie standing together, saying something to the few staff officers in front of them. Zhang Juntai walked over quietly, ready to eavesdrop on what they were talking about. But Fu Wen's eyes were sharp, and he saw Zhang Juntai not far away at a glance, so he hurriedly beckoned him to come over and talk together. Zhang Juntai had no choice but to give up the idea of eavesdropping, and walked up to Fu Wen and Ellie openly and asked them:

"I've seen you guys arguing about something here, what's wrong? The goal of this mission is not clear enough, or is my request more than you can bear. ”

After hearing this, Fu Wen shook his head and said to Zhang Juntai: "No, general." You asked me to take my army and feint against the northern camp of the Sassanid army opposite, the Roman legion, and that would be no problem at all. Even if you retract your previous order now, it would be no problem for us to make a feint attack. It's just that the second half of your order made me take this young lady to the decision to feint and attack the Roman military camp is a little inappropriate, after all, throughout the formation of our Western Regions army, there is still no history of bringing a female stream to fight with real knives and guns in front of the two armies, so once the two armies hand over, I can't guarantee her safety. ”

After Zhang Juntai listened to Fu Wen's words, he also couldn't hold back a smile and turned his head to look at Ellie who was about to speak, but found that Ellie's willow eyebrows were upside down, and her right hand was tightly holding the hilt of the sword that was still inserted in the scabbard, and there seemed to be a tendency to go crazy, so he pulled Fu Wen away from the crowd like a peacemaker, and then whispered to him:

"Personally, I still recommend that you don't mess with this aunt. When the manager and I rescued her in Haishi, this aunt chopped the enemy into puree alive, and I still remember that scene vividly. In terms of sword skills alone, she is much better than you. When the time comes, in front of the two armies, it will be up to the two of you to protect whom. And I don't know why the manager seems to value this person very much, and arranged for her to be the personal guard of Qiu Niang, the master mother of the night owl, for a while. It is estimated that if it weren't for the tight war on the Western Front now, she wouldn't have been sent. If you do offend her, then you may not be able to eat or walk away from the Governor, or even the Night Stalker. With her skills, self-defense on the battlefield should not be a problem, you just have to watch her before the two armies, don't let her fall too deep, you don't have to worry about other things, she is much better than you. ”

"But..."After listening to Zhang Juntai's words, Fu Wen seemed to have some excuses to continue to persuade Zhang Juntai, so that he could take back his life and not take women to the battlefield.

"Nothing, honestly carry out the order! Have you forgotten how you were taught when you were in military school? Or are you all wild during this period of war? Disobedient? Do you want me to find the military police in the army to reiterate with you the military discipline and military regulations of our Western Regions Army? Zhang Juntai interrupted Fu Wen's words rudely and said to him with a cold face.

"Yes. Execute commands to ensure the completion of the task. Fu Wen saw that Zhang Juntai's face was also a little unkind at this time, so he stood up to Zhang Juntai, and then said to him.

Zhang Juntai saw that Fu Wen finally stopped mentioning the matter of not taking Ellie to the battlefield, so he nodded with satisfaction, patted Fu Wen's shoulder, and said to him: "Although it is said to be a feint, from a strategic point of view, your task is the key to determining the victory or defeat of this battle." The lives of more than 100,000 soldiers on my side are all on your body, if there is an accident there, it is a trivial matter to cut off my head, and the death of these hundreds of thousands of brothers is not a joke. ”

After arranging the relevant matters, Zhang Juntai gave an order, and the elite troops of the Western Regions Army that had been assembled on the front line for a long time were like tigers coming out of the cage at this time, forming a phalanx and slowly pressing towards the Western Turkic-Sassanid coalition army opposite.

The scouts of the Western Turkic-Sassanid coalition army, which were scattered between the battle lines on weekdays, had already received the information that the Western Regions army was about to attack at this time, and had already withdrawn to the barracks. Only a few scouts who were walking relatively slowly were bumped into by the Western Regions army, and then they were directly submerged in the entire army's military formation, and there was no longer life.

"Order the Roman army in the northern camp to go out now to attack the flanks of the Han army on the opposite side, in order to prepare for the engagement of the main army on the front." The commander of the Sassanid army called the herald and said to him.

"As for your army." After the commander of the Sassanid army ordered the heralds, he turned his head directly to look at the leaders of the Western Turkic army and said to them: "As for your army, just stay here and hold the camp, this battle is obvious that the Han people want to fight a direct battle, and more people will cause trouble." This is destined to be a contest between the elites, so don't go up and die again. ”

The leaders were also quite unconvinced when they heard the contemptuous tone of the commander of the Sassanid army. The arrogance in their hearts naturally did not allow them to be so humiliated, but after all, the situation was stronger than people, who let their army indeed be defeated repeatedly when facing the Western Regions Army, without exception? So at this time, the humiliation of the Sassanid commander could only be endured by pinching his nose.

After seeing the phalanx of those Han troops lined up neatly and marching in an orderly manner, Heras Curt couldn't help but see the marching phalanx of the Roman Imperial army that only existed in the legends passed down by the elders in his own family.
