Chapter 60: Confusing Where the Enemy Is V
"Could it be that the main force of the rebels is lurking in Takuzhi City?" Du Huan suddenly thought.
"Rokuro, your guess is not unreasonable, the Great Food Army may indeed be lurking in Tuozhi City and using the sneak attack to severely damage the Anxi Army. However, according to Sai al-Din, the Khorasan cavalry, the most skilled in warfare under Abu Muslim, was good at field warfare and did not like to defend cities. How can the Great Food Rebels attack my strengths with their own shortcomings? Besides, the main force of the rebel army should have more than 100,000 people, and if there were so many more soldiers and horses in Tuozhi City out of thin air, they would definitely be detected by Anxi's scouts. Wang Zhengjian euphemistically rejected Du Huan's idea, and then encouraged: "Liulang, this is a private discussion between you and me, and you can put forward any ideas without restraint." ”
"I've been by Duhu's side for a long time, and I don't know how to write the word 'restraint'. It is unlikely that the Great Food Army will be hidden in Tuozhi City, but it is just that his mind is exhausted and he is speculating. Du Huan smiled, his eyes always focused on the map.
Du Huanzheng was talking, suddenly patted his head, and exclaimed: "Du Hu, will the Great Food rebels go east from Samojian, lurk through the country of Bahanna, sneak attack Broken Leaf City from Yezhi City and other places, and besiege Wei to save Zhao's strategy?" When attacking the Turgish last year, Shi Guo also sent troops to march like this, preparing to meet the Khan of Shift! ”
Wang Zheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly lay on the map to carefully watch the mountains and rivers in the middle of the river.
After looking at it for a long time, Wang Zhengjian said uncertainly: "One or two thousand horses may be able to pass through the country of Bakhana without knowing it." If it is an army of more than 100,000 people, it will be difficult to hide its whereabouts. However, if Abu Muslim storms the country of Bakhana, with the ability of Dou Zhongjie, he will resist for more than ten days at most, and the whole land will fall. ”
"Du Hu, although it's just a certain speculation, but I have to guard against it! What's more, Xiao Langjun and the others are all in Broken Leaf City! Du Huan said urgently.
"Liulang, immediately report to Wang Yong with a flying pigeon, and ask him to inform Mou Raluo to strengthen the vigilance around Shattered Leaf City. The 1,000 soldiers and horses left in Shattered Leaf City must also nail all the horses to the shoes, arrange the carts and baggage, and ensure that they can be pulled at any time. Send another team of scouts, and immediately set off south, and report Fang Cai's speculation to Gao Xianzhi. Our army must also pack up its baggage and be ready to pull out the camp at any time. Wang Zhengjian stood up and ordered in a loud voice.
On the afternoon of May 23, the eighth year of Tianbao, when the Anxi army under Tuozhi City was attacking fiercely and the Beiting army inside and outside Talas City was tidying up and packing up their baggage, on a certain road northwest of Kuzhan City, Dou Wuma, the prince of Bahanna, led 10,000 soldiers, escorting a large amount of grain, grass, cattle and sheep, and was hurriedly marching in the direction of Tuozhi City.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Shi State was shrinking its forces in the national capital Tuozhi City, the Bahanna State immediately mobilized the whole country, and after four days of hard fighting, it finally recaptured Kuzhan City, which was guarded by 2,000 stone ** troops.
After a bad breath and years of humiliation, the whole country of Bakhana was triumphant, and became less eager to send troops to assist the Anxi army in conquering Tuozhi City. After all, the goal of Bahanna's active participation in the war was to recapture the city of Kuzhan and guard the western gate of the country. Regarding the division of the land of the Shi Kingdom after the war, Dou Zhongjie knew that the strength of the Bahanna country was weak, but he was very wise and did not think about anything wrong.
Of course, out of awe of the Tang Dynasty, Dou Zhongjie still ordered Dou Wumo to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses and rush to Tuozhi City with a large amount of baggage after dragging for several days. He thought that by the time his son arrived with his army, perhaps Tuozhi City had already been conquered by Gao Xianzhi. In that way, there will be no need to compromise the people of the country.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) Although the young and vigorous Dou Wumo was a little slanderous about his father's small abacus, he did not dare to disobey his father's decision. However, after leading the troops to set off, Dou Wumo has been a fast horse, eager to fly to the bottom of Tuozhi City immediately to participate in the siege of the capital of Shiguo.
"That Ju Che Nose Shi, that Ju Yuanen, don't die too early, wait for a certain arrival to capture you!" With the desire to make a contribution, Dou Wuma prayed in his heart. He had even begun to fantasize about how wonderful it would be to seize the father and son of the car and go to Chang'an City to sacrifice prisoners in front of the Heavenly Khan.
"Prince, there is a brigade of men ahead!" The scout's frightened report awakened Dou Wuma's sweet dream.
"Where did the brigade come from? Hurry up and meet the enemy! Dou Wumo panicked.
When the soldiers of the country of Bakhana were in a panic, 7,000 Khorasan cavalry, under the command of Ziyad, swooped down on them like hungry tigers.
"Khorasan cavalry?!" Standing on top of the stirrups, Dou Wumo was startled when he saw the enemy's armor and clothing.
After a moment of panic, Dou Wumo tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart. He shouted: "Warriors of Ning Yuanguo, we have always been ridiculed because we always dare not face a strong enemy. Today, I hope to use our own courage to change the world's prejudices. Today, I want to prove to the God of Light, and I want to prove to the people of the world that we in Ningyuan Country are not weak and weak people who can be bullied! Warriors, charge with me! ”
Dou Wumo raised his spear, and behind his horse, hundreds of light cavalry lined up nervously and restlessly.
"Charge!" Under the roar of Dou Wumo, the wedge-shaped array with him as the top rumbled, like an egg that actively pounced on the stone, and rushed towards the Khorasan cavalry in front.
On the afternoon of May 23, the eighth year of Tianbao, when there were fierce battles in Shiguo, the wind and waves in Broken Leaf City were calm. Except for the Qarluq cavalry and the light cavalry of Beiting patrolling around, there was not the slightest breath of war in the prosperous East and West Cities.
The bored Qarluq prince Mou Ra Luo led a team of 100 to hang out in the West Market. The centurion who commanded the centurion was Botu's younger brother, whose name was Buka.
After Potu was killed by the Shatuos, Sara was particularly uncomfortable. It's not that he feels sorry for Botu's death, but that he is uncomfortable that no one can welcome his ** like Botu.
Later, when he heard that Botu's younger brother Buka was also very clever, he promoted Buka to the rank of centurion and commanded Botu's team of hundreds.
Although this Buka is young, he is extremely clever, and his ability to accumulate wealth is even more comfortable on top of Botu, and he will serve Sara Duo comfortably. It's just that Buka is cautious, not as reckless and direct as Botu, which is not very pleasing to Rakharto.
However, in recent days, the Morakoro has been more restrained. Ever since he was "kicked unconscious" by his father Khan for colliding with Wang Fei, he didn't dare to do whatever he wanted in Broken Leaf City.
"When will Father Khan do it? If Tang Jun doesn't leave, how long will such aggrieved days last! He looked at the graceful figures in the West City, wearing hats or veils, and his mouth was dry, as if a group of monkeys were catching them.
Hungry and thirsty, he was about to turn his horse's head and go back to his tent to have a dark time with a few beautiful concubines, but suddenly heard a few homeless children clapping their hands and singing in Turkic: "How many beautiful sisters are there in Beiting?" Ashina's family is like jade! The beautiful eyes are like the clouds, and the lurking broken leaves are maids. ”
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) "Yan Ruyu! "The fat ears of Molarado immediately caught the key words in the ballad.
"Buka, arrest all these homeless children! I'm going to take it back to the big tent and interrogate it slowly. "Rakraka said.
"The eldest prince, with the Tang Army here, let's not make too much noise." Buka flattered, "Boys, wait for me to take their words." ”
"It's good! Hurry up! Murata nodded in agreement.
After a while, after coaxing the mouths of the homeless children with a few Kaiyuan Tongbao, Buka hurried back to Molarodo's side and whispered in his ear for a long time.
After listening to Buka's words, the oily fat face of Tura showed an expression of surprise and joy. After pondering for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Let's go, let's go to Dayun Temple to visit Fei Langjun!" ”
Although the Qarluq cavalry did not know why the eldest prince had changed his mind today, and even went to meet the person he hated and feared the most, the prince had a life and had to obey. A hundred cavalry left the West City with a roar and rushed towards the Dayun Temple in the southeast corner of Broken Leaf City.
Late at night on May 23, the eighth year of Tianbao, the desert sand is like snow, and the moon is like a hook for nine days. Under the watery moonlight, the black desert that is unbearable in the heat during the day has become much more refreshing.
In the middle of the long desert, Kudulu leaned on the hump, anxious to the north. Around him, five thousand Terrorist cavalry, all on camels, marched at the fastest pace. The war horses used in Su Rili are tied together with reins at this moment, driven by special personnel, and follow the camel caravan far behind.
Around the Turgish cavalry, there were endless cavalry and soldiers on foot, hurrying on the march.
Among the team, there were also thousands of camels, carrying water bladders, food, improvised siege equipment and other baggage.
When he was in Broken Leaf City, Khudulu had heard his father Khan mention that the black desert in the western part of the river was extremely hot and arid, and it was not suitable for nomadism and habitation. However, it is said that some large food merchants have rich experience in discerning directions and choosing paths in the desert, and dare to cross the desert.
At the time, Kudulu thought that crossing the desert was just an absurd rumor. It was only then that he truly believed that the Great Cannibal had the ability and courage to go deep into the barren land. Although the distance to be crossed is not particularly long, it is enough to shock Kudulu.
Under the waning moon, in the boundless desert, the huge army is like a long snake lurking in the sand and rocks, spitting out a bright red tongue and pounced on its prey.
Under the same waning moon, on the avenue northeast of Mulu City, the capital of Khorasan, a black-armored cavalry team of hundreds of people, waving a crescent moon flag on a black background, hurried towards the river.
When passing through the checkpoint, the general who led the cavalry team only had to show the token in his hand, and the defenders of Khorasan hurriedly and respectfully let him go.
And the generals of the Black Armor Cavalry, every time they crossed the checkpoint, they would use fluent food language to casually inquire about the battle situation on the front line to the defenders of Khorasan.
The defenders didn't know much about the battle on the front lines, but they generally told bits and pieces what they knew about the situation.
And after the black-armored cavalry general clears the level, he will always pull out a map that he carries with him and ponder for a long time......
Under the stars and moon, the war drama with Shiguo as the center of the storm is about to usher in strange and unpredictable changes and cruel and fierce **.
