The importance of these two cities was evident to Ahmed, and the Tang people were naturally more aware of it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the throat of the Tang Army's westward expedition!

Since it is a chokepoint, in addition to scouting and riding out every day to search for possible threats, the Tang Army is also building a building with Chinese characteristics: the beacon tower!

Tang Law: Where the border city Hou Wang, the thirtieth mile to place a beacon, must be at the peak of the mountain, if there is a hill isolation, the terrain is inconvenient, then there is no limit to the number of miles, to three beacons facing each other (can see each other), if the border, then the beacon fire periphery to build a border barrier.

The Tang engineers and the people moved with great speed, along both sides of the offensive line, using cement and steel bars, that is, to build beacon towers one after another.

As a small military stronghold in the field, the role of the beacon tower is undoubted, it generally occupies a high position, condescending, looking down on the range of dozens of miles... With binoculars!

The development of technology and manufacturing has made it possible for a small military base to be equipped with a telescope that Wei Xi had before.

In addition to the reconnaissance of the rabbit waiting for the rabbit, it can also raise horses on the first floor of the platform, and live in the middle, so as to give people and horses a safe and comfortable place and better complete the reconnaissance mission.

When it comes to sheltering from the wind and rain, the role of the tent is completely defeated by the beacon tower, which is better for the rest and morale of the soldiers, so when the Great Food Army is dispatched, one after another the beacon tower is lit.

Three smokes!

According to the military system, less than a thousand enemies will be guilty of igniting a smoke; More than 1,000 and less than 10,000 are two flames, and more than 10,000 are three flames.

In addition to the beacon tower, there are cavalry transmissions that continue to send enemy intelligence, and Yang Chengxian is already sitting in Babel City at this time.

"At least 50,000 enemies, dressed in different costumes, are allied forces from various places, most of them are infantry, with a few cavalry, and they are in a hurry!"

"At the same time, most of the roads they chose are mountain roads, which is not conducive to the mobility of our cavalry!"

"More updated intel on the way!" The reconnaissance staff officer reported to Yang Chengxian, using refreshing words.

Now in the war room, in front of everyone is a sand table, yes, it is a sand table in the nearby area, showing a clear and clear terrain, the staff officers planted a small flag on it, and then look at the terrain, it is really not conducive to cavalry mobility.

If the cavalry goes up the hill and can't run without space, the infantry will cut your horse's buttocks, and you won't even lose your life!

If you want to fly a kite, you have to look at the terrain.

Even in the 21st century, there are still large areas of mountains and hills outside the big cities, and now it goes without saying that the enemy is indigenous, familiar with geography, and good use of it, not easy to deal with.

"The other party's banner is Sultan Hashem Ahmed, this man is a veteran, who fought in North Africa, has a thousand and five thousand indigenous war traces, is stoic, brave in battle......"

"There were originally 20,000 soldiers and horses, and in the war period, there may be 40,000 or 50,000 people, of which 3,000 are Arab horse cavalry, and their strength is at the first-class level among the city lords."

There are so many advantages of having an intelligence system, and before the war began, the Don Army found out the intelligence and established the archives of the main opponents, some of which I am afraid Ahmad does not remember.

"Such an opponent!" Yang Chengxian groaned.

It is recognized that the most capable of fighting is Tang Qi, before the decisive battle, come to fly a kite, shoot the opponent's soul and dissipate, in the depressed realm of Tang Qi beating them, they can't beat Tang Qi!

Once the decisive battle is held, many strong generals and heavy cavalry charges of the Tang cavalry plus light cavalry release arrows, and there are few opponents who can have a peak dialogue with the Tang cavalry.

However, Ahmad dispatched troops like this, and he abolished Tang Qi's martial arts!

The remaining options are infantry versus infantry, one is hard P, but the mountains and mountains are fair to everyone, but it eliminates the advantages of the Tang army's weapons and tactics, and to block more than 50,000 infantry, the party has to pay the price of at least 30,000 dead and wounded.

The price of dying so many people is completely unaffordable, Yang Chengxian, as a senior military attache at the level of a general, his death target is 100,000.

The so-called "death index" is a term used in the military, for example, if a drill kills a handful of people, there is no on the officers who organized the exercise.

But if a dozen or so people die in a thousand-person exercise, the commanding officer will be punished, and if hundreds of people die, it is possible to lose their heads.

Whether it is training or exercises, you have to be real, real, hard, don't be afraid of the dead, not to mention combat, depending on the opponent, the dead and wounded army is absolutely allowed, if you want to be immortal, surrender is not possible... There will probably be slaughter, and there will be no one left.

However, Yang Chengxian, as Wei Xi's brother, has a deep understanding of the concept of "people-oriented"!

Why does Wei Xi fly kites? Why give the troops such good equipment? And so much money to be invested in field hospitals?

Everything is for the sake of fewer deaths, and his "loss of land, loss of people, loss of land, loss of land, loss of land", when fighting, the ideal state is to destroy the enemy's living force and preserve his own living force.

In addition to the brainless Ant Siege, many people who are immortal cannot take the city, but even if it is a siege, Wei Xi has developed many unprecedented methods!

planned to kill and wound 30,000, that is, 10,000, Yang Chengxian's heart ached to death, it was 10,000 living lives, and his parents could only join the army after 16 years, not the result of planting land for a year.

So fight hard, make a decision, OUT!

Another way is to ambush the enemy, find dangerous places, and set up an army to set up an ambush.

It sounds tempting, but this group of enemy troops who came to attack the mountains and wanted to come to the familiar place, they were natives, and they wanted to ambush them, and they didn't know who would ambush whom.

Therefore, the ambush is also OUT!

Or maybe it's to give full play to the superpower of the "infrastructure madness" to strengthen the defenses of Babel and Ferrari in real time?

Good idea!

But the enemy is besieging two cities at my throat, and the enemy is my confidant, and the disease of ringworm can be ignored.

The logistics line is so fragile, once the enemy breaks the city, our army crossing the river will be in danger of being cut off.

This is the consequence of Wei Xi's adventurous march, Yang Chengxian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He thought of a way, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he summoned the generals and ordered them secretly.

The army acted according to the order, first the cavalry went into battle, and found that the intelligence was indeed good, the enemy was marching in the mountains, and the cavalry was in a troublesome situation where they could not go up and could not move, and the heroes were useless.

Then let's go into battle!

The Tang army is 3,000, and under the leadership of Zhonglang General Chu Jiulang, the Great Food Army is blocked!

When it comes to Chu Jiulang, he looks like a thief, which is unpleasant, but he is a robber on Chang'an Road, and now he actually worships Zhonglang General, which is really an anomaly.

He was able to take the position thanks to Wu Zetian, she was able to do martial arts, and she was eclectic in employing people, Chu Jiulang had the strength, riding and shooting eight out of nine, and nine in foot shooting, excellent dancing guns, and remarkable results, so he was able to be lifted and become an officer!

Then gradually promoted, today Yang Cheng dedicated him to make the best use of it.

With this move, the big cannibal tasted the bitterness.
