Hearing this, Yang Yue frowned and thought.

Arnold was not Clark, but a veteran of the battlefield, and the army came from afar, but he could not get a reply from Clark.

It's inevitable to be suspicious.

Walking forward three or five steps with his hands in his hands, Yang Yuelang smiled and said: "You go to the daughter of the city lord, ask her to find trustworthy people in the city, arrange for the other party to go out of the city, and send a message to Arnold." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhao Xuanhu was deeply ashamed, he didn't expect it.

At this time, Yang Yue patted Zhao Xuanhu on the shoulder and said, "At night, Arnold Xingxu will lead the troops to come, remember, don't be careless about the enemy." ”

"Whoa!"

At dusk, the scouts reported that Arnold had led the Sassanid army to the west of Talas, about twenty miles from the city.

Hearing the news, the generals of the Tang Army, Yan Yuefeng, Zhao Xuanhu, and Ye Qinghu, were preparing for battle in the city and were ready to meet the enemy at any time.

The sun sets, and the night falls.

As Arnold led his troops forward, he learned from the news from the scouts that the Tang army camp was still outside the city of Talas, and the defense was extremely strong.

It is clear that the Don Army is alerting Clark and is ready for battle.

However, the scout who went to Talas City to report the news did not return for a long time, which made Arnold and General a little surprised and hesitated.

According to the scouts, the Tang army did not seem to be aware of the arrival of Sassanid reinforcements.

As they marched forward, Sims, the vanguard general, arrived with a man from Talas and delivered Clark's letter to Arnold.

After reading the letters, Arnold sat on horseback, his doubts dispelled.

But he still hesitated to ask: "What about Clark, why didn't you send scouts out of the city?" ”

"General, the Tang army sent a large number of scouts, and asked for the help of local mountain bandits, and the messengers who went to the city to report the news, and the messengers who came out of the city were most likely killed by the Tang army.

At this time, General Clark was afraid of leaking the news, so he sent a villain to report the news instead of the messenger! And the people said with trepidation.

Arnold's eyes were full of doubt, and with the help of the light of the torches, he carefully examined the omission of the letter, and it was indeed stamped with Clark's seal.

I couldn't help but sigh: no wonder the messengers sent to Talas did not return safely.

The Don Army is too despicable.

"Tell Clark that tonight, Ben will lead reinforcements to attack the Tang Army camp, and let him cooperate at any time!" Arnold warned.

"Yes!"

The man nodded and quickly left.

Arnold dispelled all doubts in his heart, and was confident that he would unite with Clark and destroy the Don army outside Talas by surprise.

The three armies were immediately ordered to rest and replenish their food.

In the dead of night, Arnold led the Sassanid army, like a fierce beast foraging for food in the middle of the night, and quietly pressed towards the place where the Tang army was.

At this time, in the camp of the Tang Army, Attila arranged for the whole army to be vigilant, and all the Tang troops were in a state of readiness.

Except for a few Tang troops patrolling, most of the Tang troops hid in military tents.

Wait for Arnold to lead a sneak attack on the barracks.

At the same time, in Talas City, on the surface, only the defenders were waiting for the head of the city, but in fact, in the East Gate Street, Yan Yuefeng and the Tang army were all lined up.

Once the news that Arnold led the Sassanid army to attack the Tang army camp came back, Yan Yuefeng happened to lead the army to pour out and completely annihilate the reinforcements led by Arnold.

End this battle early.

The night was hazy, the camp of the Tang Army, the bonfire was burning, and the scene inside the barracks could be clearly noticed from the outside.

Arnold arrived with reinforcements, but unknowingly, the ghost lurked outside the barracks, lying on a high ground, closely monitoring the situation in the barracks.

To Arnold's puzzlement, the number of Don troops in the barracks did not seem to be very large.

Even though he knew that after nightfall, most of the Tang troops had rested, but compared to normal patrols, the number of Tang troops in the barracks was still small.

Arnold was a veteran of many battles and knew the dangers of using his troops.

What's more, the Tang army is famous, and the Tang Emperor has to be cautious in this battle, so as not to act rashly and fall into the trap deployed by the Tang army in advance, so that he has no chance to retreat.

couldn't help but turn around and tell the general beside him: "Sims, what's going on in the Tang Army camp, you lead a few soldiers to investigate and find the reason as soon as possible." ”

"General, the last general has already sent soldiers to patrol, the number of Tang troops in the barracks is indeed much less, but the messengers who went to various places to reconnoitre, did not find anything unusual, the last general suspects that the Tang army colluded with the nearby mountain bandits, and the mountain bandits are familiar with the nearby terrain and help the Tang army hide, so even Clark does not dare to act rashly." Sims replied.

They were new to the city and didn't know the terrain nearby.

The army lurked here in the middle of the night, making it difficult to know what was going on nearby.

So far, he has not met with Clark, and there are very few soldiers patrolling the Tang Army camp, which really makes him suspicious.

However, the problem could not be found.

When Arnold was surprised, Nizam asked in a low voice: "General, do you want to send an order for the three armies to retreat, and then send troops to reconnoiter at dawn, and consider the long term?" ”

They led their troops from afar, did not know the terrain on all sides, did not understand the movements of the Tang army, and acted rashly, if they did not steal chickens and rice, they would put themselves in a dangerous situation.

Arnold was full of confidence, shook his head slightly, and chuckled: "Send messengers and the three armies to closely monitor the situation nearby, if at midnight, the Tang army still does not attack, and then lead the army to kill and attack the Tang army." ”

Arnold's idea is very simple, since the number of troops left behind in the camp of the Tang Army has decreased, he must not know it, and the ghost is hidden in other places.

If the Tang army discovers their whereabouts, there is a chance that they will send troops to attack them.

At midnight, they still pressed Ana and did not encounter danger, indicating that the Tang army had not found their traces at all, and at that time, launching another attack on the Tang army camp would be able to inflict heavy damage on the Tang army.

Even if the Tang army, which was lurking in other places, made a temporary discovery, it would be too late to send troops to help.

In Talas City, Yang Yue, Yan Yuefeng, Zhao Xuanhu, and Ye Qinghu noticed that the Sassanid army outside the city had not attacked for a long time, and everyone was very depressed.

"Your Majesty, this Arnold is too cunning, and he seems to have discovered something." Yan Yuefeng said angrily, "Do you want the last general to lead the army out of the city and attack them from the rear?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's not a good idea to keep waiting." Zhao Xuanhu agreed.

Ye Qinghu also said aggressively: "At present, Arnold, the leader is hidden, and he is all exposed under the noses of the Tang Army, if he suddenly leads the army to kill, he will definitely be able to hit the other party hard." ”

Yang Yue smiled and said: "Don't be impatient, Arnold led the army from afar, since he is willing to wait, we are waiting for work, why can't we continue to wait, not to mention, the Sassanid army led by Arnold has limited strength, and he can't hold out for long." ”

Yang Yue is very confident in Arnold's move.

He believed that it would not be long before Arnold repented and sent a large army to attack.

Yan Yuefeng, Zhao Xuanhu, Ye Qinghu, and several people felt depressed when they heard the sound, but they believed that Yang Yue was right.
