Section 793 General Warfare

When the New Year arrived, the snow fell, and overnight Damascus was covered in snow, and the outside of the city was white and covered with a thick layer of snow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Winter has also entered in the far east, and after the snowfall, the well-fed and well-fed Tang people lament the joy of "Ruixue Trillion Year", while the people in white clothes and big food say the sorrow of "it is not enough for Rui".

It was cold last winter!

It's even colder this winter!

This is the feeling in the heart of the white-clothed supreme caliph Abdul Malik, even if the hall he is in is as warm as spring, his heart is still cold.

He was worried about the winter of his empire's people.

Lacking food, water and fuel, they froze and starved to death in the cold wind, and the Empire was powerless!

Originally, the small people survived on their own, and the country could not cover everything.

But if the small people die too much, the pillars of the country will be shaken!

The caliph listened to the face of Vizier Netu: "It snowed last night, and early in the morning the government made a tomb, and more than 300 people died, including more than 100 old people!" ”

Under the city of the Son of Heaven, the first good place is still like this, but what about other places?

Vizier meant the prime minister, and compared to before, the gray-haired Netu had a hunched waist, deeper wrinkles on his face, and coughed intermittently, and he was heartbroken for the empire.

The empire is difficult!

The year before last, the caliphate was defeated, and the million-strong army was wiped out and turned into grass fertilizer on the steppe.

Countless military funds were turned into a huge torch in the mountains (meaning it was ignited), which burned for three days and three nights!

This is the wealth of the white clothes and food for many years, countless, and a lot of wood has been cut down and turned into military funds, resulting in many places Tongshan water, and the people have no firewood as fuel.

After the Tang army captured Khorasan last year, it reached the Caspian Sea and went south, reaching the line of Lake Namac (north), Isfahan (central Persia) and Abadan (Persian Gulf, south), and completely confronted the Great Food Army!

Tang cavalry was like mercury pouring into the ground, violently striking the areas along the line, they did all kinds of evil, plundered the people, robbed property, destroyed production, etc., including snatching livestock and poultry, destroying farmland, water conservancy and orchards, destroying houses, and collapsing mines!

When they see someone, they arrest them, and they resist and kill them!

Columns of large cannibals were driven by leather whips and numbly rushed to the rear.

AWAITS THEIR FATE ... Hehe, the strange thing is that they were willing to eat it later.

When he entered the house, he carefully searched for wealth, and did not spare a copper plate, and carried it in a cart, and carried it to the rear in a cart.

Livestock and poultry were taken away, and those who could not be taken were killed, and soon their carcasses were reduced to food for wild dogs, leaving nothing behind.

The crops in the farmland were eaten by horses, and the Tang army had many horses, like locusts crossing the border, eating up everything.

The fields are clean, what will you eat in the coming year?

Well, the Tang Army issued a poster, calling on the white-clothed soldiers and civilians to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, boasting that everyone has food to eat, everyone has a cake to eat, there are sesame cakes, oil cakes, naan, Big Macs and pizzas, you can choose!

effective, there are really a lot of people who have nothing to eat to go to the Tang Army,

Fruit trees, cut down with a knife, what fruit can you think about, smell it and remember!

Infrastructure, yes, the people captured by the Tang army came in handy, they destroyed the ditches in the farmland, and then smashed houses, collapsed mines, anyway, all the bad things were done.

The most outrageous thing is that the Tang army demolished the monastery of the great cannibal when it saw it, and painted Arabic characters and Chinese characters on the wall: "Our prince has defeated your caliphate, and your gods cannot defeat our bodhisattva!" ”

As a result, some foolish women and fools among the great cannibals actually worshipped the Bodhisattva of the Tang Dynasty!

There are so many such things that Damascus shudder!

If the people's hearts are scattered, everything will be empty!

High pressure can't solve the root problem, what the white clothes need is victory, big victory!

Only then can the people's morale be boosted, and all problems can be solved.

……

The Tang army first attacked the cities along the route, and then adopted the method of penetration/interspersed infiltration, and achieved commendable results in only six or seven months.

After that, the cavalry pounced on the valley of the two rivers, the western part of the Persian Plateau, and even in the Arabian Peninsula region, where the white-clothed food was home, there were traces of their cavalry!

Engaged in sabotage work, resulting in a great deterioration of the situation in the two places.

Of course, the Great Food Army could not let the Tang cavalry wreak havoc on their homeland, and the cavalry set out to expel the Tang cavalry.

But the cunning Tang cavalry, when there are few people, will not fight with the Great Food Army, but will only keep releasing arrows, and the arrows are raining down, so that the Great Food Army can't raise its head!

When there were many of them, they rushed up, and they struck down all the men and horses.

The white-clothed food tasted the painful experience of the Han people against the Hu cavalry in the upper north.

encountered the "general battle" taken by Wei Xi, the commander of the Tang Army!

An army with no or few horses is a chore against an army with many horses.

I couldn't catch up with them, I caught up with them and ran away.

The bigger trouble is that the bow and arrows of the Don Ride are sharp!

In the past, the Han infantry fought the Hu cavalry, and even if they couldn't catch up, the ordinary Hu cavalry did not dare to provoke the Han infantry.

Hu Qi's bows and arrows are of inferior quality (because of the lack of smelting iron, their arrows are stones or animal bones), they can't break the shields and armor of the Han people, and even worse, the bows and crossbows of the Han people are stronger than those of Hu Qi!

Now the bow and arrow of the Tang army are stronger than the Great Eclipse Infantry, although the Great Cannibal is desperately trying to improve the bow, but! The improvement of bow power involves all aspects and requires time, and the most lacking thing for the big cannibal is time.

……

Total war!

Wei Xi clearly pointed out that the war extends to all the territory of the enemy country, and the personnel involved in the war also expand from the army to all the people of the enemy country, and all measures can be taken for the sake of victory.

The people of the enemy country can provide the enemy army with troops, support the front, and provide military funds!

By destroying the enemy's people, we can indirectly weaken the enemy's army's ability to sustain combat, and its strength will be reduced.

In the past, there was a tradition of not killing prisoners in Chinese culture, believing that killing prisoners was ominous, and in the past, Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers in Changping Pit, and Xiang Yu buried 200,000 Qin soldiers alive, and the ending of the two murderous kings was not very good.

There were also deep doubts and controversies within the court and the army about the people who attacked the enemy country.

But Wei Xi came to a conclusion: "Whoever is on the side of the enemy's army, no matter what it is, is the enemy!" ”

"The enemy should be destroyed!"

"Those who surrender are exempt from death, but they must work to atone for their former sins!"

Wei Xi did not advocate killing prisoners, but asking for money for death, and the soldiers of the Tang Army thought that it was good to do so, and they had money to share, which could be regarded as avenging the dead comrades.

Therefore, Wei Xi launched a general war, and the army resolutely carried it out, so that the white-clothed food fell into a dire situation.

Where Tang rode through, the sky was three feet high, the earth was clear, and the end was extinct, and the chickens and dogs were not left.

The white-clothed cities are next to the front line, and a lot of resources are used for city defense and the army, and the people's lives are miserable!

Due to the military danger, the gates of the city were closed during the day, the farmland outside the city was uncultivated, the caravans disappeared, and production came to a standstill.

But people always have to eat, and they have to keep out the cold in winter, and when there is nothing, the result is that the people who died of hunger this winter are reported from all over the country, and the number of people who freeze to death is shocking, and the caliph cannot sit still on the throne, and walks back and forth in the palace!

What to do?
