Chapter 283: A group of eggless guys
The destruction of Igo went smoothly and reasonably, but it seemed to be unexpected.
This thing came and went quickly, so fast that when everyone didn't react, the matter came out, and then everyone just received the news, or before they received the news, the matter was already over.
Then there are only two options left for them.
Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Tang army, he directly counterattacked, and then took advantage of the situation to include Yiwu in his own forces.
The other is to sit and do nothing.
It wasn't until he completely accepted Yiwu that Xue Wanjun, the deputy head in charge of this matter, dared to believe that all this in front of him turned out to be so simple.
A blindfolded Hanbaini did something he didn't dare to do in his life, and the people below chose to kill him in order to protect themselves, and took Hanbani's head to surrender.
This kind of thing has happened many times in history, so for the people of the Central Plains Dynasty, it is actually not strange.
Coupled with the performance of Hanbani during his reign, in fact, this result is also normal, and there is nothing surprising.
The border of Gaochang is hundreds of miles away from Yiwu.
A smoke of gunfire is ongoing.
The potholes in the ground are slowly recovering, and the breeze carries the sand and fills them up little by little.
Both sides had to tie their faces with clothes or handkerchiefs to cover their mouths and noses, and what should have been a vigorous battle has now turned into a war of attrition.
No, it's a confrontation.
No offense, no defense.
If it weren't for the corpses lying on the ground and the corpses of the horses, no one would have wanted to believe that there had been a battle here.
The ancient cavalry charge could not have broken through the defensive positions of hundreds of wagons, and there were two bomb carts, a thousand bows and arrows, and countless grenades.
Splashy didn't have the ability to rush over at all, so this battle also gave Splashey a headache.
"Predney, are you going to just besiege them?" An old man beside him looked at the appearance in front of him and asked.
"Otherwise, rush over and look for death?" Pony's mood was a little heavy, he didn't expect that the other party would be so hard, and there were so many big weapons that could make such a big move, and a big killer could kill a piece if he threw it over.
Predni hadn't seen it, nor had she heard of it.
But now, the grenade brought him a huge shock.
After just one charge, Pony made up his mind not to attack actively.
He had to wait, wait until the other party was exhausted, and then take them down without a single soldier.
The conditions that Hanbani agreed to seem to be no longer enough now, and Pony plans to swallow all these things to himself, as for Hanbani, what should he do, if he doesn't accept Lao Tzu, he will kill you.
"The other party will not have more than half a month's supply on him at most, this is deep in the desert, hundreds of miles away from Yumen Pass, it is impossible for the Tang army to come over, and it is impossible to know what is happening here, there is no need for the warriors to lose their precious lives because of a victory that will come sooner or later." Thinking about something, feeling a little better, Pony began to explain.
The desert is lonely, and there is no trace of a single person here for months, and if there are other caravans passing by, it is better to kill them all.
Anyway, for Pony, this is not the first time to do this, and there is no pressure at all.
Rao is a long-time battle-hardened Xiang Fang, and he is also a little helpless in the face of this situation.
The enemy is outnumbered, and although the strength is superior, there are still too many disadvantages.
At the moment, their formation is very tight, and the predni on the opposite side can't find a way to break the formation.
Preppy was patiently waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity to attack, like a ferocious beast, without absolute certainty, he would not shoot easily.
Xiang Fang, who has always been calm, also felt huge pressure for the first time.
This mission is different from previous combat missions, there are not so many worries when fighting, as far as the opponent's people are concerned, he can easily break through and even eliminate them.
But now, there are caravans here, and priceless goods are here.
Xiang Fang did not dare to be careless, nor did he dare to go out to fight a decisive battle with those enemy troops.
Because he didn't know if there were any other enemies nearby who didn't show up.
Since this cylinder formation was set up, the scouts had not been released again, and there was no chance to release them out, and there were predneys all around, and it was impossible for the scouts to rush out at such a close distance.
Fortunately, it is not yet time to attack, otherwise, Xiang Fang can only grit his teeth and decide to attack and fight to the death.
"Captain Xiang, don't panic, what should come will always come, our supplies are enough to last for half a month, if you save a little, twenty days will not be a problem, reinforcements will come." Compared with Xiang Fang's anxiety, Xu Jing was much calmer.
Lying in the cylindrical array, he even pulled a futon from the car and spread it on the ground, although there was yellow sand, but there was a strange beauty.
"It's best if this matter can be solved a day earlier, I'm afraid that the scouts will be stopped on the way, or get lost." Xiang Fang shook his head depressedly, he couldn't be as free as Xu Jing.
But this is also relative, when I was in Yiwu, I was also more comfortable than Xu Jing, and I have gradually liked this way of clear division of labor, which is very labor-saving and worry-free.
Of course, the premise is that the people you work with are capable and can gain your trust.
"Don't worry about the scouts, the general knows in his heart, if I wait for a long time and don't send back the news, the general will definitely send troops westward, and then everything will naturally be unraveled." Xu Jing continued to drive to Xiang Fang.
"I hope so!" Xiang Fang sighed deeply, a little helpless.
The desert march, even they, do not dare to walk at will, everywhere, must find a local guide who is familiar with the situation to guide, otherwise it is difficult to walk this way.
The scouts have no guides, and they can't take the main road, so they can only shuttle back and forth in the desert Gobi, and they will get lost if they can't keep it.
After all, this is not a place they are familiar with, and it is completely different from the grassland in the north, and the only one who can discern the direction is the sun.
The sky is getting dark, and the setting sun will reflect half of the sky with a fiery red color, yellow sand and fiery clouds, which is a beautiful scenery that cannot be seen in Datang, but the situation here is slightly not suitable.
In the distance, the sound of the running horses rumbled, and the dust swept up from the sky, as if a sandstorm was coming, and the scene was very spectacular.
The huge movement naturally attracted the attention of both sides.
But the response was a completely different one.
The morale of the Tang Dynasty caravan has obviously increased by countless levels, and on the side of Pony, it is like falling into a basin of cold water, and he can't believe it for a long time.
"It's Tang Jun!"
A roar broke Splashey's prayer completely.
The yellow battle flag is a unique banner of the Tang Dynasty, and for more than a year, only the Tang Army has fully unified the yellow flag.
There are basically no decent flags on Igo's side, and each department only has a work that is on its own, and there is no unity at all.
The number of Tang troops is not large, about 2,000 people, but the rest of Pony is only about 1,500 people, plus the 800 Tang troops facing each other, Pony has no chance of winning at all.
It was the eight hundred Tang Army that gave him a headache, and if he came two thousand, what would be the result?
"Withdraw!" Rao was unwilling, but Pony also had to order a retreat.
If you don't retreat, your last few people will be gone, and you will lose everything you have now.
Although the retreat was timely, Pony always had a question in his heart, why did the Tang Army appear here?
There are many doubts, and there are even more worries, but for now, let's save my life first.
When the two armies meet, the feeling in their hearts is naturally different.
Xiang Fang and the others were excited and relieved, and the reinforcements were a little complaining.
In the face of the fleeing Predni Department, the reinforcements did not chase it, it was meaningless, and the Tang army came all the way to help, and at this moment it was also sleepy and lacking, and it was not suitable for pursuit at all.
As long as the caravan is found and their safety is ensured.
As for Pony, he will naturally clean him up in the future.
"Look at this good place you chose, it really made us easy to find for a while, if it weren't for a brother in the group who came here, I'm afraid you would have to suffer a little more." The guerrilla general Xu Sheng couldn't help complaining, not blaming him for complaining, anyone would be a little complaining at this time.
From the Jade Gate Pass here, across the entire Iwu, three days of non-stop running, only then did they find them.
However, there was a piece of yellow sand or the Gobi everywhere along the way, and there were places where they could set up ambushes, but they chose a ghost place so far away.
"General, this is not the place we chose. In fact, we have slowed down as much as possible along the way, the original three-day journey has been carried out for five days, and the gang will not show up until here, and we can't help it. Xiang Fang didn't dare to explain, but Xu Jing didn't have so many concerns, this matter was his calculation, and he naturally had the responsibility and obligation to explain.
"Haha, okay, it's not easy for you to stay in this place where birds don't for so long." Xu Sheng didn't continue to accuse, and there was nothing to blame, so where is this now? There's still a long way to go.
They have to design to let the enemy into the trap, but also to protect their own safety, the degree of work is definitely more than the army, in fact, Xu Sheng has already experienced the hardships here along the way, and he just complained brainlessly before, but he didn't take it to heart.
"General, how's Igo?" Xiang Fang only dared to ask at this time.
Reinforcements appeared here without fear, so the situation over there is estimated to be ideal, although he did not participate, but as a vanguard, credit is inevitable, whether he can enter the ranks of generals, it depends on the results of this trip, Xiang Fang still has great expectations for this.
"It's gone, a group of eggless guys, the army hasn't even arrived, and Hanbani's head has been cut off......"
