Chapter 518: Head to head
"Several generals, headquarters and marshals have already arrived to the west of Broken Leaf City, and it is estimated that there are still three days to enter Julan City." The sound of the guard's report also made the few people who had just finished picking up Lu Yi slightly stunned, Zhao Si touched his head and frowned: "The speed of the big handsome is much faster than we expected, it seems that the command is also worried about the affairs of the Tianfang Sect." ”
"I'm still worried, what will happen to these tens of thousands of prisoners in our hands? Where is it delivered? Where are the officials sent by the Deputy Prime Minister now? I can only breathe a sigh of relief when the handsome man comes. Li Feixue let out a rare wry smile, he has been tortured a little uncomfortable by this group of Zitianfang disciples in the past few days, these guys seem to be different from his own people in terms of thinking and behavior, and even the translator he found can't figure out what the Bai Fang Sect has instilled in these people on weekdays, he is extremely fanatical, and he resists at every turn, provoking Li Feixue to use three battalions of troops to be on duty in the prisoner camp, and he pulls out enough dozens of people to shoot every day, and he almost can't suppress these people with such strength.
"Now that construction is going on everywhere in the empire, there is a shortage of people everywhere, and our own people are simply not busy now. Why don't you suggest that the deputy prime minister transfer them to a remote place and let the National Guard send heavy guards? Li Feixue's self-talk did not get a response from several other people, and before there were no specific instructions from the base camp, I was afraid that Wan Yi and Tuoba Sizhi would not know what to do.
"Last time, Qin Kong's side said that the deputy marshal planned to send all the prisoners of war on the Safar side to Khotan, and then let the great Buddhist monks go out and educate these stubborn guys." Zhao Si's words made several people nod, and even Lu Yi, who didn't catch up with this battle, agreed with this method.
"Then so be it, Feixue, you let all the Samanid captives be sent to Shule and handed over to Yang Yi for disposal, as for the remaining Heavenly Sect captives, let's wait for the big marshal to report after he comes." Hammoud didn't know what to do, but it was absolutely possible to let these people stay in Kulan City, which would only distract the energy of the Tiance Army, and the next step was that the Tiance Army would need to march towards Genros and other places to completely sweep all the territory of the Samanids, and it was impossible to leave too many troops to guard these people.
However, although these people thought of some methods, they still waited until three days later, that is, on the first day of the ninth month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, when the northwest side entered the winter, and Wan Yi's headquarters arrived in Kulan City before it was implemented. At this time, Wan Yi decisively began to order the more than 30,000 Samanids captured before to be handed over to the logistics team to transfer to Shule and other places after Gauss returned to Khotan with the main force of the heavy cavalry battalionAlthough there is no way to plant trees in winter to build a separation zone, the sand control project similar to the grid of later generations has been put in place, and we are waiting for the trees to be planted in the spring of next year. After a large number of prisoners of war were transferred, these 30,000 prisoners of war decisively filled the gap in the construction of the straight road, and took over all the road construction tasks near the northern Heishui Prefecture. After dealing with the Samanid prisoners of war, Wan Yi also received instructions from Li Xuanqing, who was urgently sent from thousands of miles away, and after a slight adjustment, Wan Yi immediately ordered the troops to send all the remaining 30,000 Tianfang Sect disciples to Shule and then handed over to the National Guard to send them to Khotan. That is, on the construction of a straight road that leads directly to Khotan and Safar and the prefecture, the heavenly task of opening up the mountains of the green mountains will allow these prisoners of war to exert their strength. This method also subsequently received a large number of prisoners of war from the Tianfang Sect, relying on a large number of manpower to dig through the rolling mountains of the Green Ridge in half a year, and build a straight road to Bohe Prefecture, from then on the connection between Safar and Khotan began to accelerate suddenly.
After dealing with these prisoners of war, Wan Yi ordered his battalion and Uighur corps to advance to Genros at the beginning of the ninth month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, when Gauss set out to join Wan Yi. At this time, the regular army of the Great Food Empire, that is, the army that had set off from Baghdad that Qin Kong had detected before, finally went upriver along the Wuhu River, crossed the city of Whitewater, and approached Genross. He also organized the remnants of the Samanids on the way to the army, and under the leadership of the Samanid Khan, the two sides formed a coalition and confronted the Tense army in the front of Genros.
"Isn't there any news from the follow-up of the Great Food Empire?" After not noticing the loss of the Heavenly Fang Sect to send disciples to participate in the war, Zhao Si specially strengthened his strength in this regard, and Qin Kong also sent elite soldiers to Baghdad before withdrawing from the Safar side, and after Safar was recovered by the whole territory, some of the secret guards that had been arranged inside the Saffarid in the early stage also began to be transferred to the interior of the Black-clothed Food Empire for placement. It's just that because he was afraid of the Heavenly Fang Sect, Qin Kong didn't choose to let these secret guards stay there for a long time, and the method of secret rotation was adopted, although this was not suitable for the secret guards' spying on intelligence, but fortunately, the security had increased a lot. When Wan Yi asked Zhao Si, the other party shook his head and said: "Although the dark guards have paid attention to the movements of the popes in various places within the Great Food Empire, they have not changed much when the northern winter comes, but it is not ruled out that they will transfer people from the west of the Great Food Empire to the north, although it will be too difficult and the needs along the way will be infinitely expanded due to distance and climate." After Zhao Si finished speaking, he immediately smiled bitterly: "But as far as I know, these people from the Heavenly Fang Sect are all people with a completely different way of thinking from us, so it is not ruled out that they can really move." However, I have already sent people from the north to the south into the Great Food Empire, and have set up secret bases on various communication arteries, so we can know in advance if they make a move. ”
"I said Si'er, you can't do this, it's all a bunch of nonsense." Li Feixue stood up and pouted and smiled: "If you want me to see the commander, let's not wait for the deputy marshal and the heavy cavalry battalion, just the less than 200,000 people in front of us, we can celebrate the New Year after the battle is directly finished, and we now have three corps to fight them, which is more than enough." ”
"Marshal, I think General Li is right, after this battle, it is just time for the people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to arrive, and when the time comes, with the momentum of a great victory, it will definitely force the Great Food Empire to succumb and send people to make a pilgrimage to Chang'an." After Liu Xuan saw Li Feixue speak, Lu Yi and Hammud both looked at him and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "The key is that the royal court of the Samanid people has begun to migrate, if we don't seize the opportunity, then once their Khan King orders the migration, the treasures they have accumulated will be taken away, if the Prime Minister knows, I'm afraid that we won't be able to eat one by one and walk around." Although Liu Xuan's words made everyone laugh, they also heard the urgency in his tone, this battle should be sooner rather than later, and the early completion of the battle can also reduce the burden on the rear.
"Okay, this battle is just as the chief of staff said, let's finish the battle as soon as possible and complete the task as soon as possible, we can't control the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but this battle is the first time we have faced the army of the Great Food Empire, and it is also the time to wash away the shame of the Anxi Army a hundred years ago, so in this battle, the three of you will go out together, and the specific front-line command will be handed over to Hammoud to be responsible for, and the chief of staff and I will not participate in the specific command." Wan Yi waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down and continued: "By the way, since the chief of staff said that King Saman Khan wants to withdraw, Zhao Si has given you and Xiaohu a task to find a way to leave their royal treasures. Wan Yi's words made Su Xiaohu and Zhao Si smile, they are not generals of combat troops, and they are not much interested in the battle of the large corps, but they are very interested in this kind of task, starting from Hu Xiaosi, the people of Xuan Yingwei are very fascinated by digging treasures, plus the flying eagle brigade that drills around in other people's nests all the year round, Liu Xuan couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile secretly when he saw the expressions of the two, this Saman Khan King is even afraid that the treasury of those nobles will be completely looted this time. Thinking of this, Liu Xuan began to secretly plan and prepare to arrange someone to pick them up when the time comes, maybe he can dig up a huge fortune.
After the plan of several people was decided, Hammud took Li Feixue and Lu Yi to arrange quickly, this time it was an offensive operation, so early the next morning, Li Feixue immediately led the army out of the camp to carry out the harassment mission, and the battalion directly under it was assigned to the first line of combat, and the Uighur corps this time the whole army was used as the Chinese army and reserve.
Li Feixue's temperament let him carry out the harassment task naturally there is no problem, the 50,000 people in the guard battalion were divided into ten teams, and they approached the other party's military camp directly in full view of everyone and then shot those soldiers on duty, the range and continuous shooting characteristics of the formal rifle made the Great Food Empire and the Samman army suffer heavy casualties in an instant, and those soldiers on duty were already on full alert because of the large-scale camp of the Tiance Army, and they were immediately on guard by such an attack, After countless soldiers fell, even some of the soldiers who rushed to the front of the guard battalion directly threw grenades into the camp, and the explosions one after another made the other party unable to bear it anymore, and several irascible generals rushed out directly with the army without receiving the order of the commander of the Chinese army.
After the other party was transferred, Li Feixue immediately arranged for the officers and men of the Guards Battalion who were attacking in the front to immediately retreat in the direction of the main position of the Tiance Army, while the other attacking troops made a detour from the flanks and rear.
"General, why do I think these generals of the Great Food Empire are not very good? Dare to rush out at this time? Because the Uighur corps was serving as a Chinese army and reserve this time, Deying was standing beside Hamoud, and at this time, when he saw about 20,000 cavalry rushing out of the opposite camp roaring and being mobilized by the guard battalion, he immediately shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I thought there was some kind of high-standard battle, this is not as good as the traitors of the Anxi Uighurs we fought before." ”
"This is different, our current strength is completely different from that time, in fact, the big cannibal has no way even if he doesn't go out of the camp, and the harassment of the pro-guard battalion can't stand it, but I didn't expect the big cannibal to be so uncomposed, and I rashly let this cavalry rush out, I'm afraid that it will be completely wiped out directly." Hammoud shook his head and said: "But that's fine, when this cavalry cannibal is annihilated, even if you want to hide, it will be impossible, and then you will definitely directly enter the decisive battle, which is also in line with the requirements of the marshal for a quick victory." ”
As the two spoke, the two sides in front of them had already begun to fight, not only the side of the guard battalion continued to use the long range of the rifle to carry out unscrupulous strafing of the Great Eclipse Cavalry, but the soldiers of the direct battalion that had entered the position of the whole army at this time also began to emerge from the position, and at the same time, there was the muzzle of the black hole, and the flames of the spitting carried deadly bullets to knock the Great Eclipse Cavalry off their horses. And this scene, whether it is Lu Yi and Li Feixue, who are in the front line command, or Hamoud, who is in charge of the Chinese army, did not say anything, the war has been fought so far, there is no mercy to pay attention to, they are no longer representing individuals at this time, but the unprecedented empire behind them, and it is the fangs that this heavenly kingdom has once again exposed to other forces after its rebirth. And this place of Genros makes all the soldiers of the Tiance Army understand that their predecessors were defeated here in the battle a hundred years ago, and since then they have lost the initiative in the Anxi region, and then they have not even had the opportunity to make a comeback, and the Anxi Army has completely lost the opportunity to prove itself with this old enemy because of the Anshi Rebellion. Now in the same place, the same familiar city walls and land, and even almost the same enemy, the Tiance Army that accompanied the rebirth of the Tang Dynasty this time no longer has the mistakes and regrets of a hundred years ago, they are iron-blooded soldiers who came out of blood and fire, and everyone is calm about their enemies, almost counting the slogans and knocking the opponents in front of them to the ground one by one.
"General, the main force of the other party has left the camp." The cavalry of more than 20,000 people could not last long under the siege of nearly 100,000 people in the personal guard battalion and the directly subordinate battalion, and the mournful neighing of the Great Food Cavalry did not bring them courage and miracles, on the contrary, this famous cavalry, which had no enemy in Persia and the Mediterranean, encountered its own unimaginable nemesis here, and even without touching the opponent's own soldiers, they had lost their combat effectiveness and fell to the ground. And the dying cries of these cavalrymen also made their Chinese army and commanders seem to have a sense, and almost all the Great Food Empire and Samman troops in the camp began to move out at this time.
"De Ying, inform the troops to prepare for battle immediately, and let the guard battalion immediately prepare to retreat as planned. The artillery units immediately prepared for shelling. Hammoud put down his clairvoyant mirror and looked in the direction of the tent behind him, and began to give the latest orders. In an instant, the horn sounded continuously on the entire battlefield, and the rapid sound was conveying the latest orders of the Chinese army to all the soldiers of the Tiance Army, and also mobilized the position of the entire Tiance Army to begin to change rapidly.
"Boss, Hammoud is a handsome talent." At the door of the handsome tent behind Hammud, Liu Xuan smiled at his coach, and there was a heartfelt admiration for Hammoud who commanded at the front line
