Since stepping into this time and space, Lao Luo has been digging pits since East Africa, but he rarely deals with a group in such a targeted manner, it is really because of his thinking inertia when he was a soldier in the Western Xinjiang in later generations - the bastards who often stir up trouble in the Western Xinjiang of CHN in later generations are really annoying, and many of his comrades-in-arms have fallen on the battlefield with those so-called Turkic descendants, so how can he not anger those guys in this era?

Speaking of the Turks, there are many references to the origin of this ethnic group, it is more fair that they came from the Xiongnu, a mixed large community, used to be the "forging slaves" of the Rouran people, and then the Rouran people were defeated and scattered by the Tuoba Xianbei people, and the Turks took the opportunity to separate, and rose under the leadership of the royal family "Ashina" ethnic group at that time, until they were broken by the Tang Dynasty rising in the east and moved westward, the Turks in this period were nominally dependent on the Abbasids, and rampant throughout Central Asia, they basically controlled the entire trade routes between the East and the West - Silk Road.

According to the original historical development, a hundred years later, a powerful Turkic empire would rise in this land, and be called the Seljuk Empire by Westerners, and then collide directly with the Western Crusaders, and later directly challenge the Eastern Roman Empire, that is, the Byzantine Empire, and invade Constantinople in the middle of the fifteenth century, and finally evolve into the Ottoman Turkish Empire.

However, at present, the Turks are only a broad joint noun, not the exclusive noun of a nation, just like the ancient Xiongnu, Xianbei and other nouns in the East, just a multi-tribal union, Turkmenistan is just one of them, and now the most powerful tribe.

When he came to this land, Lao Luo didn't want the Turks to come true, and it was necessary to keep beating to deal with the Turks, both sledgehammers and small hammers.

Of course, Lao Luo has never treated the people of this era as fools, how many guys who can be kings and hegemons in this era are given for nothing? At best, his Lao Luo is outstanding in combat power, and if he can cut hundreds of them with his life, he already belongs to the level of not being human, and he doesn't have the weapon he is best at, no machine gun, submachine gun, sniper rifle, no grenade, missile, and atomic bomb, how many can he kill? Mahmud, the second emir of the Ghaznavids, would not have been an arrogant, reckless and impulsive man who could leave his name in history.

According to Lao Luo's memory, this Mahmoud is an ambitious guy, and seems to have an incomprehensible obsessive preference for that part of the South Asian subcontinent, and the history books record that this guy has waged a total of seventeen wars against South Asia, which is really incomprehensible, maybe because of a preference for the curry flavor in that moist land? Or is it because you like to drink the murky water of the Ganges?

Lao Luo can't guess, and of course there's no need to guess.

After Dhamgan wiped out the nearly 10,000 mobilized by Pasar, Lao Luo knew that this kind of news would definitely be difficult to conceal, not to mention that the scope of the battlefield was difficult to effectively control, and the unknown number of defeated Turkic deserters would definitely leak the news, even the surrounding tribes would also act as the eyes and ears of the Ghaznavids. Therefore, after the battle in the south of Damgan was over, he did not plan to stay there at all, but only collected some of the women exchanged and captured them in the shortest possible time, and began to order the eastward return party to continue eastward.

For nothing else, just to find a suitable battlefield for engagement, at least in favor of your own side.

Mashhad was an undefended city in this era, because most of the people who came here were followers of the Shia sect of the Green Religion, because of the large number of people, it also brought a large number of merchants, and with the presence of many merchants, it became a rallying point for supplies and exchange of goods on the trade route.

Many cities in Central Asia were formed in this way in the early days, but Mashhad here is a little different, it has a religious color that other assembly points do not have, and it is also a holy place for Shiites, many of them are large and mixed, among them there are many Arabs, according to the news that Helton heard in the city, the Ghaznavid Turkmen tried to garrison here several times, but were vetoed by the local Arab imams, and the Ghaznavid regime still respected the Abbasid kingdom as the suzerain, They will not be able to tear their faces and move their troops around Mashhad.

And as long as the second-generation emir can't mobilize an army of more than 100,000 people, Lao Luo will dare to fight a flesh-and-face battle with the other party. That's right, with the women, children, and old people of the main battalion going east, the more than 10,000 soldiers in the garrison camp are destined to be unable to move, and the only one that can move is the cavalry school with less than 2,000 people, in the face of tens of thousands of enemies, how to use the cavalry of less than 2,000 people?

This is indeed a difficult problem, but in Lao Luo's view, it is not a difficult matter, and the military base of tens of thousands of people in the future is not troublesome? As long as you have the heart and the right equipment, you can sneak in silently, not to mention the 10,000-person military camp in this era?

According to the standards of special operations in later generations, the barracks of tens of thousands of people at this time were a piece of fat meat that could accompany a meal, and if there were suitable offensive weapons and manpower to make knives, it could be completely cut into pieces.

According to the information obtained, there were 20,000 elite soldiers, and the number of auxiliary troops was unknown, whether 1,800 against 50,000 or 60,000 would have been lost, and the numerical superiority was a decisive factor in the period of cold weapon warfare. Lao Luo's cavalry academy is only 1,800 people in his hands is a knife that is not sharp enough, maybe they have the courage that others do not have, but this is not enough to defeat the enemy, what is lacking is the quality of soldiers and the lethality of weapons.

Fortunately, Lao Luo is not the kind of mouth cannon party that can only hide in the distance of the battlefield, whether it is hands-on ability, or strategic awareness, or even knowledge level, Lao Luo's level is far better than the so-called strategic careerists of this era, not to mention that the leap of time and space has also given him a superhuman physique, and he has not yet figured out the ability to heal himself, and even has the ability to carry the golden finger of the portable space and spiritual power, which ordinary people have not heard of at all, all these things that people in this era do not understand will become the key to victory.

Of course, attacking alone is not enough, you will inevitably be spied on by the enemy while hitting others, so both offense and defense are king. The original target of the Ghaznavid Turkmen was the artisans of the Tang battalion, and how to protect the large number of family members and non-combatants was also a problem.

Lao Luo came out of the military tent to Li Ji in the back camp all the way to think about these problems, even now sitting in front of the bonfire and gnawing on the leg of mutton, he is also a little uneasy. Of course, it wasn't because the woman's soul was not guarding, his mind was still immersed in the recent military arrangements.

It's really not easy to be a commander who takes into account both the military and the people, even with his experience as a United Nations peacekeeping officer for a short time, he is a little at a loss, without him, the background of the times and customs are completely different, there are many chores and at the same time there is a lack of talent, fortunately, because of the carry-on space, there are fewer logistical concerns, otherwise it is really tiring.

He couldn't help but rejoice in his foresight, as early as Erzurum, he thought of such a thing as a van, although this thing is very troublesome to make, it can be said that it took most of the iron materials accumulated by the Tang battalion to settle in Sylfan for so many years, and at the same time, because it was too heavy, he was complained that it was inconvenient to walk, but now in the face of an enemy attack, this complex and bulky big guy has become everyone's life-saving magic weapon.

At present, the main camp of Donggui is settled on two connected hills about twenty romans northwest of Mashhad, below which are the tributaries of the Asaf River, which have a decent flow - this era is not as completely desertified as later generations, and the north of the two hills is a cliff with a vertical drop of more than 400 meters, unless there are really superb people who fly the eaves and walls in this era, there is no need to worry about the enemy raid in the north.

Between the two hills were the places where families and non-combatants were housed, and on the top of the hills were a lot of small trebuchets (which were assembled only when they were camped, and were usually pulled on four-wheeled carriages, like a pile of wood), and there were also an indefinite number of bed crossbows, and the open strip at the bottom of the hill was now surrounded by side vans, and became a low city wall full of thorns, and the two small hills became a military city with horns on each other, surrounded by dense ditches and horses' leg pits, well fences, Security measures such as horse rejection and thistle terrestris, I dare not say that they are impregnable, at least there are not tens of thousands of lives to pay, don't want to break through the camp composed of partial vans.

From the morning to arrive here, there was no rest at noon, everyone was busy setting up this camp, and when it was time for Lao Luo to gnaw on the leg of mutton, the surrounding arrangements had begun to take shape, and the people who had worked hard all day were not depressed, but were particularly excited because of the busyness of the day, and their cheers were heard from time to time.

Listening to the voices in the four places, if Lao Luo had the idea of giving up these Tang descendants when he first arrived in Xierfan, now those thoughts are gone, not because of the so-called obsession of the same clan and clan, nor because of Li Ji's so-called love house and Wu connection, but more trust and belief. Trust needs to be cultivated bit by bit, and belief needs to be constantly raised and strengthened.

All the way to the east, has crossed thousands of miles, Lao Luo has established an invincible and thoughtful image among these Tang descendants, so like this has been announced that there will be tens of thousands of enemies coming, everyone will feel that there is nothing to worry about, as for the faith, at the beginning in Silvan, returning to the East was just a dream, now the journey is nearly halfway, returning to the hometown has become a new obsession into everyone's hearts.

With the sensitivity of his ears and listening to the boastful or passionate words of people in the distance, Lao Luo's thoughts gradually became firm, not for honor, not for enmity, but for these ordinary and simple people who are willing to follow him, and he will not allow the Turks to disturb their peace.
