Chapter 10: Reinforcements Arrive

Looking at the stumps and severed arms on the ground, the broken internal organs, and the surging blood, the soldiers burst out into a shocking roar and rejoiced.

This battle was the first battle since the army marched westward, and the victory in the first battle was of great significance, not only as simple as victory, but also with immeasurable benefits for the morale of the army.

"The big dog-eating dog is nothing more than that, vulnerable!"

"What's the big dog eater, as long as we arrive, it's not a waste of ashes?"

The soldiers held the blood-dripping horizontal knives, their faces were excited, and they talked loudly, and they couldn't help but demean the Great Food Army.

Li Changguo heard it in his ears, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "That's right, the big dog eater is nothing, it's not the opponent of the good men of the Tang Dynasty, as long as we arrive, they only have one way to perish." ”

As the commander of the army, Li Changguo knows very well that the combat power of the Great Food Army is extraordinary, and it is not weak. However, in order to motivate morale, this can only be said. He can't say that the Great Food Army is very powerful, and you are too proud. If you say that, it is tantamount to a slap in the face to the morale of the army, and it is too damaging to the enthusiasm of the soldiers.

"Brothers, the big dog is very hospitable, and we are invited to eat the roasted mutton, don't let down the hope of the big dog." Li Changguo copied it with his hand, grabbed a leg of mutton, and opened his mouth to chew it.

The Great Food Army roasted the mutton, simmered the wine, and made the tea, but before they could enjoy it, they were killed by the Tang Army, and these things became the trophies of the Tang Army.

"Huh!" The soldiers smiled, grabbed the mutton and chewed it, drank the wine, and drank the tea.

While eating, An Lushan arrived with the Tang army and congratulated Li Changguo: "Congratulations to the marshal, the horse has been successful, and the first battle has been won." ”

Li Changguo pointed at the mutton and said, "You eat it too." ”

An Lushan thanked him, grabbed a piece of mutton, and opened his mouth to chew it.

"The victory in the provincial war is certainly joyful, but it must not be taken lightly." Li Changguo was very sober and said: "The Great Food Army is well-trained, tactically advanced, well-equipped, and has experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and its combat power is extremely strong, which should not be underestimated. The main reason why we were able to win this battle in such a short period of time was that we did not take us seriously. Moreover, we are all the same Longwu army, with the most elite army of the Tang Army to deal with these big dogs, if we can't win easily, the Longwu Army should wipe their necks. ”

Li Changguo's analysis was very correct, An Lushan nodded heavily, and said, "The handsome man is wise." ”

"After a short rest, I will lead my army straight to Khotan and relieve the siege of Khotan. You led your army to Shule, and with lightning speed, you relieved the siege of Shule in one fell swoop. Lee Chang Kook began to order.

"Commander, please rest assured, An Lushan will never be dishonored." An Lushan cautiously probed: "Dashuai, can you send Brother Shi to me?" ”

When he said that in front of Fan Yangjun, Li Changguo beat Shi Siming severely and lost half his life. After so many days of recuperation, Shi Siming has recovered well, although he has not yet returned to his previous peak state, he can also play.

An Lushan and Shi Siming are small, the two grew up with bare buttocks, and after they grew up, their friendship became deeper. Yes, An Lushan was very concerned about Shi Siming and wanted to pull him under his command.

"Yes." Shi Siming and An Lushan are both targets to be eliminated, and they can make good use of them before they are eliminated, because they are rare good generals.

"Xie Dashuai." An Lushan is very happy.

After a short rest, Li Changguo gave an order, and the Tang army was divided into two, Li Changguo led a team to go straight to Qiuzi, and An Lushan led Shi Siming to go straight to Shule.

xxxxxxxxx Under the city of Khotan, a tent of heaven constitutes a camp of great food, tents one after another, I don't know how many, I can't see the edge at a glance.

Khotan was an important town of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, with high strategic value. Muslims did not dare to let go of the east. Because Khotan was at the throat of the Silk Road, if Dashi wanted to go east, it had to take the Silk Road, and Khotan became an important strategic base.

For this, Abu? The Muslims ordered their henchman Ziyad to attack. Ziad was a rare good general, good at using troops, and after receiving the order, he rushed to Khotan and launched a fierce offensive against Khotan. However, the Tang army was defended like an iron barrel, and no matter how he attacked, he could not pull out the city, which annoyed Ziad.

Although he could not overcome the attack for several months, however, Ziyad was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of Khotan. The city of Khotan is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, coupled with the elite of the Tang army, brave and good at fighting, and extremely strong combat power, which is the advantage of Khotan.

However, Khotan also has a disadvantage, that is, Khotan is surrounded, there will be no reinforcements, and every one who dies has less defensive strength. Therefore, Ziyad launched a series of attacks on Khotan, regardless of casualties, preparing to consume Khotan at a huge price, and finally conquer Khotan.

I have to say that Ziade's judgment is very accurate, under his command, after the Great Food Army launched a months-long attack on Khotan, the Tang army was almost consumed, and only more than a thousand Tang troops still had combat strength. Moreover, the more than 1,000 Tang troops were all exhausted, everyone was wounded, and they couldn't hold out for a few days.

After months of fierce fighting, and finally seeing the dawn of victory, Ziad breathed a long sigh, but he gave an order to launch an uninterrupted offensive against Khotan, whether day or night, to launch an offensive like a sea tide, so that the Tang army was exhausted.

The Tang army could not rest, it did not even have time to catch its breath, or in a few days, Khotan would fall.

"Phew!" Bian Lingcheng exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, extremely tired, gasping heavily, wheezing like thunder, wiping the blood on his face, scolding: "Damn big dog-eater, so vicious, he wants to exhaust us to death." ”

The scolding is right, Ziad is planning to exhaust the Tang army to death. Unable to defeat Khotan, he used the advantage of the Great Food Army to launch a non-stop attack on Khotan, and let the Tang army kill. The Tang army kills one, the big food army comes a pair, the Tang army kills a pair, the Tang army comes to two armies, and it depends on how much strength the Tang army has to kill.

Even if the Tang Army is iron, if you are allowed to fight for a few days and nights, there will always be no strength, right?

"Exhausted! It's okay to be tired! Bian Lingcheng showed his white teeth: "Killing the big dogs is tired to death, we have earned it, one person kills more than ten or twenty big dogs, it's worth it!" ”

With a straight chest and a high head, he was very proud, and said: "Since ancient times, there have not been many people who have died of exhaustion by killing the enemy, and we are fortunate to be one of them." Brethren, this is our glory! ”

"Long live Datang!" The soldiers, though exhausted, were overjoyed, waving their arms, shaking their fists, and shouting loudly.

Bian Lingcheng's words spoke to their hearts. Since the Great Eclipse siege of the city, when has the soldiers not fought bloodily? These Tang troops who survived, to say the least, were beheaded at levels above level 10, and the number of wounded enemies is unknown. There is a saying that killing one is enough, killing two to earn one, according to this calculation, they have earned more than a dozen, and the most is dozens.

has such a great military feat, even if he dies in battle, it is worth it, and there are no regrets.

Ziad was like an iron tower, riding on a war horse, staring at the fierce battle on the city wall. Although the Tang army was exhausted, everyone was not afraid of death, and was as brave as a tiger, and although the Great Food Army was a new force, it could not resist and was driven out of the city by the Tang army.

"Long live Datang!" The weapon in the hand of the Tang army was on the ground, his body was shaking, and he could fall at any time.

"The end of the crossbow!" Seeing it in Ziad's eyes, a smile appeared, and with a wave of his big hand, he roared: "Attack!" ”

A large army of big eaters brandished scimitars and roared to the sky: "Kill all the Chinese!" Kill all the Chinese! ”

The city was about to be broken, and the morale of the Great Food Army was greatly boosted, and the whirlwind rushed to the city, rushed in from the damaged city wall, and killed the Tang army, encroaching on the city step by step.

Although the Great Eclipse was exhausted and could fall down at any time, however, it erupted with a terrifying momentum, and everyone had the heart of death, wielding broken weapons, and slaughtered with the Great Eclipse army.

Although the Tang army was very brave, after all, it was the end of the crossbow, and it was difficult to support, and many soldiers fell down softly when the weapons in their hands were waved halfway, and they were exhausted to death.

More and more Tang troops were exhausted, and in less than half a day, five or six hundred died of exhaustion. Originally, there were not many Tang troops, and no matter how tired they were, the remaining Tang army was only seven or eight hundred.

What's even worse is that the Great Food Army poured into the city like a tidal wave, not giving the Tang Army time to breathe, they made it clear that they wanted to exhaust the Tang Army to death.

"It's over, it's over!" Bian Lingcheng saw it in his eyes, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Why haven't our reinforcements come yet?" ”

Holding out for several months, what they were most looking forward to was the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. However, they looked forward to the stars and the moon, but they did not expect reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty.

Not only did they not expect reinforcements, but the situation became more and more difficult.

At this time when the city is about to be broken, and the Tang army is about to be destroyed, what Bian Lingcheng hopes for most is reinforcements, even if it is the shadow of reinforcements.

However, the truth is cruel, it is impossible to expect reinforcements, Bian Ling Cheng took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, and shouted at Tang Jun: "Brothers: The big dog has entered the city, and Khotan can no longer hold it, are you afraid?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" The Tang army shouted loudly, however, their voices were hoarse, but they didn't make much noise, because their voices were broken.

"We are good men of Datang, we are worthy of this title, we use our blood and life to create the prestige of good men of Datang!" Bian Lingcheng pointed his right hand at the attacking Great Food Army and said: "Look at our feet, we are stepping on the bones of their companions, we don't count killing the enemy, we are good men of the Tang Dynasty!" We are the heroes of Datang! ”

"On the occasion of the destruction of the city, we will use our blood and our lives for the last time to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Long live Datang!"

"Long live Datang!"

The soldiers waved their arms, shook their fists, raised their heads to the sky, and roared loudly, although there was no sound, but the momentum was earth-shattering.

"Kill!" Bian Lingcheng waved his hand, clenched the half-cut horizontal knife, and led the remaining Tang army to rush forward without hesitation in the face of the surging Great Food Army.

The two armies were about to collide together, and at that moment, something changed abruptly.

"Long live Datang!" The battle horn sounded, earth-shattering, and the ground trembled.
