"Oh my God, General Hammoud, I've finally found you. If I can't find you again, I'm afraid I'll send someone to the headquarters to report that your Uighur army has disappeared. "When there was a fierce conflict in Shule City, the dark guards of the Xuanying Guard finally found Hamoud, who was preparing to march towards Shule.

"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened on the front line? Hammoud was a little surprised, the secret guard's complaint made him feel a little inexplicable, and thought that something big had happened at the front, so he didn't even bother to eat the roast mutton in his hand, so he stood up and asked.

"That's not true" The secret guard was a young man, and when he saw Hammud, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "General Hammad, you misunderstood, I came north to find you on the order of our commander, but we didn't know before that you had led the army south from Bodaling, so the people of our two detachments searched hundreds of miles around Bodaling but didn't find it, and finally I was lucky to meet you here." The secret guard was very excited about this famous foreign general from years ago, so he smiled: "Before I came, the Anxi army had already entered Shuangqu City, and was engaged in a fierce battle with the Uighur army there. The commander asked us to find the general, so that the general could set off south as soon as possible to aid Shule, and not let the royal court guards in Shule City have a chance to go south. ”

The words of the secret guard made Hammud quickly start looking for the map, his current location is in an oasis south of the Garna Pass, and if the fast horse from here to Shule marches at full speed, it can basically reach the city of Shule within five days, so Hammoud nodded and said: "You immediately inform your searchers to return to the city immediately, and I will immediately lead the army to set off south to Shule City as soon as possible." ”

After the two separated, Hammoud immediately set off for the south, and the secret guard began to contact the other personnel one by one to prepare for the return to Jianshule. But an unexpected piece of news came as a surprise to him. There was an emergency military situation in the northwest that they learned from a passing secret guard. Saman's men and horses were finally dispatched, and they came urgently towards Shule. However, the news from the dark guard also needs to be sent to Shule recently, but Shule has no soldiers and horses at this time. And the most important thing is that Shule itself still needs the support of soldiers and horses at this time, while the large army is still in Weitou Prefecture. The secret guard named Zhou Quan, who had found the Uighur army, made a decision to change the course of the battle, and became famous throughout the Xuanying Guard after the battle. He delivered the news to Hamoud, who had just gone south, as quickly as possible.

Hammoud was also stunned by the urgent news in front of him, but after all, he was the one in charge of the army, so he immediately made a decision after a little certainty, so he spoke: "Zhou Quan, you immediately send someone to inform your commander and the headquarters of the Western Expeditionary Army to report the urgent dispatch of the Samanid troops, and tell them that my Uighur corps has decided to march to the northwest immediately, and strive to wipe out the Samanid reinforcements on the way." Hammad's eyes were resolute, but Zhou Quan saw another meaning, Saman sent more than 70,000 troops to attack this time, but at this time, Hammud's Uighur corps had been reduced to less than 30,000 after the Battle of Bodaling, so in the case of more than double the gap in troops, Hammud immediately thought of leading the army to resist the shaman reinforcements, obviously the idea was to annihilate Shule's reinforcements on the way, so he immediately gave a military salute to Hammud, and said solemnly: "General, I will report immediately, and please take care of the general, Although the general is a Uighur, he is the general I respect the most, and I look forward to the good news of the general's victory. Thoughtful words made Hammoud smile slightly, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, from you, I see that the Tang Dynasty has not excluded the addition of my Uighurs, I am very pleased, don't worry, I have been fighting for more than 20 years and now I can be regarded as reborn, so I will not die, waiting for the good news of my victory." The Uighurs, under the leadership of Hammud, immediately began to reorganize their troops and horses, and then turned northwest. The sudden change of destination along the way did not surprise all the soldiers in the slightest, since the reorganization after the battle of Bodarling, all the soldiers seemed to have experienced the feeling of being reborn from the ashes, and there was an unimaginable momentum between words and deeds, a momentum that looked at the world, and it was this momentum that allowed Hammoud to move forward with confidence in such a large gap between the number of enemies and friends.

However, this change by Hammoud completely cut off the hope of reinforcements on the Uighur side. When Zhou Quan sent the news back to Shule Zhao Si's hands, the latter's face changed greatly, Saman's unexpected way of making a move broke everyone's expectations, if he couldn't change the deployment immediately, then once the Uighur Yehu in the city reacted, then it would inevitably make him understand that the Samanid had contained the reinforcements of the Tiance Army, in that case, the Anxi Corps would be in danger, and the Uighurs would inevitably mobilize the royal court guards to go south with all their might, and take advantage of the opportunity for the reinforcements to be pinned down by the Samanids to annihilate the Anxi Corps first.

"No, we must change the deployment immediately, otherwise I'm afraid that Zhang Sheng will be in big trouble." Su Xiaohu also began to worry, the original reinforcements needed to go all out to deal with the enemy outside the occupation at the moment, which was equivalent to the original preset deployment completely opening a wing, and the Wang Ting Guard, which was supposed to be his own target for pursuit, became the winner and loser of his own troops at this moment.

"Otherwise, how about I immediately let the Flying Eagle Brigade go all out and completely disrupt Shule City? I don't believe that the last nest of the Uighurs would dare to transfer his caretaker troops out if everything was turned upside down. Su Xiaohu saw Zhao Si's face was gloomy, and suddenly spoke. His method is actually not bad, but at this time, Zhao Si feels that it is far from enough, the Uighur Ye Hu is only afraid that he is also a ruthless character, and he also has a large army like the palace cavalry Wang Ting Guard, and he is afraid that the Flying Eagle Brigade may not be able to take any big advantage after being transferred out for a while.

"I'm going to launch an intelligence war and take the initiative to let them know about the Hammud and their going north to intercept the Samanids." Zhao Si's face was silent for a long time and said: "Your Flying Eagle Brigade might as well continue to make trouble in the city, and if you want to put on a posture, you can directly tell the people that we are now welcoming the arrival of the main force, and directly make the identity of the fine work public." ”

"Public?" Su Xiaohu was a little dumbfounded, but quickly understood what he meant, nodded and said, "When the time comes, you might as well find a few people to pretend to be nobles in the city, like running away from the city, I will intercept them and block them back, in this case, I am afraid that it will be better than other methods." Su Xiaohu obviously intended to use this method to tell all the strata in the city that the Tiance Army was ready to intercept these people from fleeing, so as to show that the situation was still under their control.

"I'll think about how to start this matter, you lead the team immediately, don't keep your hands from now on, deal with other things that can't kill Ye Hu, do what you want to do, don't have any scruples." After Zhao Si asked Su Xiaohu to prepare, he also began to launch the Xuanying Guard, in addition to arranging for the secret guards in the city to activate various plans, the most important thing was to urgently notify the headquarters. In the final analysis, all the deployment plans on the side of Shule City are just emergency measures, and they are also gambling that Ye Hu is unwilling to gamble because of scruples. The real solution is that the main force can open up the state as soon as possible, so that the Anxi corps can take advantage of the might of the main corps to gain a firm foothold, and the Uighur corps can also get nearby support.

When Zhao Si's side was urgently deployed, in fact, the battle report on the side of Bodaling was transferred from Qiuzi to the Kupila front line headquarters, Wan Yi was surprised when he looked at this battle report, this Hammoud was really a talent, and he was able to complete such a victory alone in a short period of time after the victory of the Heishui River, and the most important thing is that Hammad relied on wisdom to win the victory in the battle of Bodaling, which also made Wan Yi have greater expectations for him. Of course, at this time, Wan Yi had no idea that the famous Uighur general he had hoped for was facing the greatest difficulties and challenges at this time.

"General, according to the continuous tracking of the Dark Guard, the Samanids have set out from the Dawan Governor's Mansion and are on their way to Andijan." The captain of the guard, Deying, will report when he comes forward. However, this Hammoud did not have the slightest scruples, but interrupted the words of his personal guard captain and said: "This is not a problem, at present, the primary purpose of our army is to rush to Andijan before the other party, and then use the mountainous terrain there to block the footsteps of the Samanids to the east, they are cavalry, we are also cavalry, we are 25,000 against 70,000 people, I think my Uighur army still has a chance to win." Tell all our brothers that if we can win the Battle of Bodaling, we will definitely win the Battle of Andijan. After winning the battle, we will go back and ask you for credit in person. ”

Hamoud's words made everyone around him laugh, not worried about the upcoming battle, but the cavalry in front of him kept speeding up their speed in an attempt to reach Andijan as quickly as possible, and only by occupying the favorable terrain of Andijan could they stop the Samanid footsteps with ease and hard work. Before these experiences, the series of major battles, whether it was the veterans of the Tiance Army who had been transferred from Tuoba Siji's side, or the Uighur veterans who had followed Hammud into the sequence of the Tiance Army, understood where their hope of victory lies. So there is no need for Hammoud to urge these predators who have survived a hundred battles to understand.

It would take about five days to rush to Andijan from the area where the Uighur army was currently located, so the Hammuds almost galloped along the ancient road from Shule to Broken Leaf City, marching at full speed, and the water and food supplies they needed along the way were almost all stolen by the descendants of Zhaowu Jiu except for Xuanyingwei's advance preparations. Large quantities of supplies were hastily roasted and taken to the road to eat before they even had time to be packed.

Five days and more than 700 miles were galloped almost day and night, but this group of men on horseback was forced over, and the Samanids had not yet reached Andijan, so Hammoud and they still had time to prepare. So all the Uighurs dismounted and immediately began to lay out the fortifications, and since Hammud had come to Andijan in his early years, there was little need to survey any terrain and immediately began to lay out, and a large number of trench attacks were quickly opened up in front of the hammers of countless soldiers, winding over the mountainside.

With the exception of these ringed mountains, the rest of Andijan is basically plain and rich in water, making it a famous land of fish and rice and a gathering place for nomads. So the arrival of the Uighurs was quickly reported, but Hammoud did not care at all, because this mountain range in Andijan blocked the only passage, and there was no road except here, and he wanted to make a detour unless he walked hundreds of miles north. But relying on the fact that the Samanids have not fought against the Tiance Army, they will definitely not be willing to take a detour, which is not equivalent to saying that the Samanid people are inferior to the Tiance Army. Therefore, after learning the news, Hammoud indifferently sent people directly to buy military supplies, which is equivalent to confirming the purpose of his visit.

"General, everyone in Andijan knows that we are coming, and I still want to ambush here." The adjutant general stepped forward and looked at the trenches that had all been formed, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Pull it down, you think it's no man's land. There's no way to be silent in a place like Andijan, we can't do it, and neither can the other side. So forget about the ambush war, let's find a way to prepare for a hard battle. Seventy thousand cavalry, even if we attack on the back, is enough for us to drink a pot. Hamoud shook his head, pointed to the open hillside in front of him, and said: "You will lead people to set up more traps on this hillside to block the footsteps of dealing with the cavalry attack, this is the main road, they can't get around it if they want to pass through Andijan, so you might as well show the banner and tell everyone that Datang is back again." ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to erect my Datang battle flag immediately." The deputy general hurriedly said: "As for traps or something, I will take people to do it, don't worry, this is my strong point, but no one was my opponent when I put this kind of trick back then." ”

Half a day later, a bright yellow dragon battle flag and a Tang Dynasty banner began to flutter high in the wind on the top of the mountain, at first the people under the mountain did not understand what kind of battle flag it was, but those Uighur soldiers who went down the mountain to purchase told them that this was the legendary Tang Dynasty, the former ruler of this land. Now it's back like this flag.

"General Qiyu, the Samanids have been based on this for less than a hundred miles." This time, in addition to the dark guards of the Xuanying Guard, there were also scouts sent by Hammud to report the military situation, and in the past few days, these scouts have run all over the area around Andijan, and the information collected has also begun to transmit to the rear quickly.

"Deying, you lead the army forward and give them a slam. Then lead them to this side. Hammoud, on his part, smiled coldly and asked the captain of the guard to immediately lead the army to attack, and this small force of 3,000 men would not join the main force after the harassment, but would continue to implement this policy. According to Hammoud's idea, he is afraid that the time required for this battle will not be less, so the role of these 3,000 people may not be smaller than that of the frontal troops.

"Tell the brothers whether you can win this battle or not, half of the credit is on you, and you have to open your eyes to make each other sleep." Hammud's words made Deying's eyes widen, and he immediately understood the meaning of his main general, and immediately set off with people to meet the enemy.
