Chapter 1927: The Fat Delivered to the Door
Minni is the border city of Byzantium, and the south of Minni is the Great Eclipse, and the north is naturally Byzantium's own territory.
The city lord of Minny City has only felt a lot of pressure these days, and a huge Tang army has been inexplicably stationed in the originally empty desert in the south of the city, and the number of people is not about 200,000.
This regiment is very disciplined, and there is no unauthorized camp except for drills every day, and no one knows why this huge army is stationed here, or what their purpose is.
However, for security reasons, the city lord of Minny City still did not take the initiative to provoke them, and after the courtesy attempt to visit was denied, he never thought of communicating with him again.
But God knows how long the brains of those old men in Constantine actually sent a team of envoys over at this juncture, not to mention the rudeness, and even thought of threatening the favored army.
The city lord of Minni City was frightened, so when he received the head of the envoy, he still felt a little happy in his heart: the secret path was fortunate that the other party's general was more reasonable, otherwise he was afraid that the city lord would be the end.
But fortunately, he still had to do what he had to do, so the lord of Minnee City put the head back together as quickly as possible, and sent a letter to Constantine as quickly as possible.
Byzantine king Constantistan thought that even if the envoy sent could not scare the Tang army back, at least he could give himself some face, but he didn't expect that the last person who came back was only a human head.
At this moment, all the Byzantine officials were blown up, one by two clamoring that they must teach the army sent by the Tang Dynasty a lesson, so that they know that they know how powerful Byzantium is.
As a result, several batches of equipment previously transported back from the Tang Dynasty were unsealed, and steel crossbows, bed crossbows, and catapults were all distributed to the most elite Byzantine legions, and it took less than five days for a legion of about 300,000 to go to the border.
Constantistan had just defeated the army of the Great Food Nation in the battle not long ago and snatched the capital city of Constantine back into his hands, and Byzantium at this time was at a time when morale was at its peak and no one was convinced.
Not to mention 200,000 Tang troops, even 2 million Tang troops, they are not in their eyes.
What's more, how many years has the Don Army not fought? Byzantium, on the other hand, had just recovered from the war, and there were many veterans of a hundred battles in the army, and such an army could not be compared with the Tang army in any case.
As for the Tang Army's defeat of the Great Cannibal, in the eyes of the Byzantines, this is just a very poor performance of the Great Cannibal, since the Great Cannibal changed to a new king, the combat effectiveness of the Great Cannibal is obviously declining.
Of course, what made Constantan most confident was that the envoy he sent to the Tang Dynasty had already sent him a letter back, telling him that he had contacted a descendant of a prince of the Tang Dynasty, and with the cooperation of that descendant, he would get more high-quality weapons.
The Tang Dynasty is going to be in chaos, it is Constant's recent conclusion, so now is the best time to send troops, only if you can defeat this Tang Army, then the next step can be to point the finger at the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, you can cooperate with the guy named Li Heheng, and you can completely cut off 'a piece of meat', a piece of 'good meat' from the Tang Empire.
God is pitiful, if Constantistan knew that his news was completely outdated, if he knew what kind of legion Datang sent this time, it was estimated that he would borrow a few more dares, and he would not dare to easily pick up the tiger's whiskers.
It's just that there are not so many ifs in this world, and Constantistan does not have such a high level of foresight, so the army of 300,000 was happily sent out by him and his courtiers.
Hou Junji was receiving the battle report from Cheng Yanjin during this time, but Li Chengqian kept him still, and Lao Hou was in a hurry and had no good way.
Lao Cheng has already hit Mulu City, where he has penetrated hundreds of miles into the Great Eclipse, if he goes further west and soon approaches the ...... of the Muddy Shapur, well, these have nothing to do with Hou Junji, although the position he is in now is much closer to the country of the Great Cannibal than Lao Cheng.
On this day, just when the old man was sighing and looking at the map in a daze, the guards ran in from outside: "Report, general, urgent military situation!" ”
"Urgent military intelligence? Lao Tzu has a fart here! With a stomach full of dissatisfaction, Hou Junji glared at the guard, in his opinion, what the guard sent should be the information that Cheng Yanjin had made some progress.
However, seeing that the guards wanted to speak and stopped, Lao Hou thought about it and said: "Okay, let's talk about it, what is the military situation." ”
The guard's face was a little strange, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "General, the city lord of Minni City on the other side has sent a message, saying that ......, that their king has sent 300,000 troops over and wants to completely wipe us out in this desert!" ”
"Three hundred thousand? So much? Hou Junji was not too surprised that the Byzantines would send troops to fight him, nor were he surprised why the news would be sent by the city lord of Minni City, to the surprise of the guards, he was very excited, and his demeanor and the tone of his voice were very strange.
However, these things are not something that the guards can manage, and in the face of Lao Hou's question, he can only explain truthfully: "Yes, this is the news sent by the city lord of Minny City, and the spies have been sent out just now, if the news is true, I believe it will not be long before we can be sure." ”
Hou Junji waved his hand and said with a grin: "No need to verify it anymore, the city lord of Minny City is a smart person, and he shouldn't lie to us about this kind of thing." ”
"So, how do we deal with it?" Seeing that Hou Jun Ji didn't care, the guards couldn't help but ask curiously.
300,000 Byzantines, to be honest, not only did Hou Junji not pay attention to it, but also did the personal guards, the current Tang Army is very different from the past, and the leading advantage in equipment is not comparable to those surrounding countries at all.
The guard's inquiry made Hou Junji calm down, smacked his lips and said: "Just wait and see, you go and call all the officers above the regimental level in the army to this general in a while, let's have a meeting to celebrate first, finally there is a piece of fat delivered to the door, but you can't let him run away." ”
Since Li Chengqian ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, the military system of the Tang Dynasty has changed again, and the establishment of squads, platoons, companies, battalions, brigades, divisions, and armies has completely replaced the previous establishment, and the entire military system of the Tang Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes from before.
