"Rumble!"

Earth-shattering hooves sounded, and one after another of the Tang troops drove up and lined up in formation.

The Tang army was well-trained, acted quickly, and the formation was very fast, and it didn't take long for huge military formations to appear in front of them. Horizontal rows, vertical columns, the formation is thick and solemn, giving people a sense of unshakability.

The soldiers were bright in armor, full of energy, with their heads held high, their fighting spirit blazing, and their eyes shining.

Today, it will be a great day to officially march to the Western Regions, and it is a great day that the soldiers have been looking forward to for a long time, everyone is very excited, and they are overjoyed, if it were not for the extremely strict military discipline of the Tang Army and the strict orders of Li Changguo, they would have sung loudly a long time ago.

Entering the Western Regions and breaking the Great Food is the dream of the Tang Dynasty boys, who have inspired the Tang Dynasty boys for decades and hundreds of years.

"Gotta get it!" The sound of hurried hooves sounded, and I saw Li Changguo galloping over, surrounded by all the generals.

Li Changguo's status in the hearts of the soldiers is extremely high, although he is not a god, it is not much worse, and when the soldiers saw Li Changguo's arrival, they were all overjoyed, their eyes were round, and they stared at Li Changguo.

When he came to the military formation, Li Changguo pulled the reins of the horse, the war horse stopped, Li Changguo glanced at the military formation, was very satisfied with the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and nodded slightly.

"Brethren: Today is a big day!" Li Changguo began his pre-war lecture.

This is the signal to go to the Western Regions, as soon as Li Changguo opened his mouth to speak, the soldiers were all excited Mo Ming, their eyes widened, and their chests stood higher.

"It's the big man of the Tang Dynasty who is waging war against the big food!" Li Changguo explained.

"Long live Datang!"

Li Changguo's remarks were drowned out by an earth-shattering roar, and the soldiers were overjoyed, and they pulled their throats and shouted.

It is the dream of the Tang Dynasty boy to start a war with Da Shi, and he has been looking forward to it for a long time, and he has finally looked forward to this moment. Although I have known it for a long time, it is still joyful and exciting to say from Li Changguo's mouth.

"Listening to your joyful voices and seeing your exhilarating colors, I know that you are ready to fight to the death against the Great Eclipse!" Li Changguo then lectured and said: "Da Shi is the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and for hundreds of years, the goal has been to destroy our Datang and enslave China. For this reason, the great cannibals killed our people, kidnapped our caravans, and seized our Western Regions. ”

"Defeat the Great Food!" The soldiers erupted into another terrifying roar, and everyone's eyes flashed with hatred.

Since the establishment of the Arab Empire, the Arab Empire embarked on the road of the Eastern Crusade, first conquering Central Asia, and then bordering the Tang Dynasty, and launched a decades-long war in Central Asia.

Although the Tang Dynasty had the upper hand and repeatedly defeated the Arab Empire, however, the Arab Empire was a big country after all, one of the famous great empires in history, with a vast territory, a large population, abundant products, strong strength, defeat and decline, repeated defeats and wars, although the Tang Dynasty was strong, it could not break the Great Food.

In order to make up for the gap with the Tang Dynasty, the Arab Empire adopted a lot of bloody means, killing the people of the Tang Dynasty and robbing the caravans of the Tang Dynasty. These things happen a lot every year, which makes the Tang people extremely angry, and Li Changguo uses this lecture to stimulate the hatred of the soldiers, and the effect is very obvious, and the killing intent emerges in the eyes of the soldiers.

"What's even more hateful, Da Shi sent hundreds of thousands of troops to attack the Western Regions, besiege the four towns of Anxi, and want to march into the land of Hehuang, and his heart will not die!" Li Changguo's voice turned high, a little shrill and piercing, and said: "Attack the Western Regions, break through the Great Food, relieve the siege of Anxi Town, and restore my Western Regions!" ”

"Defeat the Great Food!"

"Restore me to the Western Regions!"

The soldiers had long known that the situation in the Anxi Protectorate was critical, and after listening to Li Changguo's lecture, they became even more angry, and they all raised their throats and roared, like a tiger roaring, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.

"If you don't break the big food, you swear not to pay it back!" Li Changguo's right arm was raised high and he roared loudly.

"Big break, big food, swear not to pay it back!" The soldiers burst into a shocking oath.

Breaking the Great Food and returning the Western Regions to peace has always been the dream of the Tang Dynasty boys, at this moment, they are heroic and proud, and they are full of pride and pride to the Nine Heavens.

Li Changguo pulled out his horizontal knife violently and swung it heavily at the Western Regions, like thunder and lightning, extremely powerful.

"Rumble!" Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi rode out together, led the army to set off, and embarked on the road to the Western Regions.

The Tang army drove out one after another, the formation was neat, without the slightest chaos, the momentum was shocking and murderous. Soon, all the 200,000 troops gathered drove out and headed straight to the northwest.

These 200,000 troops, their marching route is not the Silk Road, but the desert, from which they want to enter the Western Regions.

The march from the desert to the Western Regions was not the first of Li Changguo's initiative, it was the route used by Tang Gaozong in order to destroy the Western Turks. At that time, because the Western Turks were still an enemy country of the Tang Dynasty, and the desert was still under the control of the Western Turks, the Tang army had to advance while fighting, fighting against the Western Turks while marching towards the Western Regions.

At present, the western part of the desert has long been the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army will march from here, there will be no war, only need to march.

The advantage of marching from the desert is that it can reduce the pressure on the Silk Road, allow the Tang army to quickly enter the Western Regions, and overwhelm the Great Food Army into Mount Tai.

What's more, marching from the desert can also go straight to Broken Leaf City, cutting off the back route of the Great Food Army, making it impossible for it to escape, and forming an encirclement of the Great Food Army in the Western Regions, which is convenient for total annihilation. Even if it can't be completely annihilated, it can inflict heavy damage on the Great Food Army and weaken the Great Food Army to the greatest extent.

If the Great Food Army in the Western Regions was heavily damaged by the Tang Army, then it would be much easier to march into Central Asia next, and the land of Central Asia could be captured.

Under the leadership of Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, the 200,000-strong army entered the desert one day later. The desert is vast and boundless, the Tang army is lined up in a neat formation, marching hand in hand, the momentum is shocking, where the Tang army passes, it is a huge black flower, which is a dark cloud composed of mud splashed by the hooves of the Tang army, rolling west.

There are two main difficulties in marching from the desert, one is the direction, and the other is grain and grass.

The desert is vast and vast, lacking references, and it is easy to get lost when marching on the desert. This could not help the Tang army, Li Changguo had already ordered that the Turkic departments in the desert should prepare guides to guide the Tang Dynasty, and if there were those who did not execute, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi could be exterminated on the spot.

The desert is very vast, and the 200,000 army needs countless grains and grass, and it is obviously impossible to transport them from the rear, so they can only be requisitioned or purchased on the spot.

For this reason, Li Changguo asked Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi to bring more tea, silk, and other things that the Turks loved, and buy cattle and sheep with the Turks. In addition, Li Changguo ordered that the Turkic departments in the desert should supply the army with more dried meat and horses. In order to keep the Turks from playing tricks, Li Changguo gave them the condition that this was calculated according to military merits, and the more they contributed, the greater the merit they would get.

The Turks were very fond of the military exploits of the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty rewarded them very richly.

Therefore, when the Turks received the order, they were very happy to prepare a large amount of dried meat. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi marched smoothly, and there was no surprise.

Three days later, in the land of Hehuang, another group of Tang troops was assembled, this army numbered hundreds of thousands, it was the Tang army under the leadership of Li Changguo, they were going to march from the Silk Road to the Western Regions.

The reason why they chose to set off three days later, instead of marching after Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi set off, was because Li Changguo and them had calculated that it would take a long time to march from the desert. In order for the Tang army to suddenly appear in the Western Regions and form a momentum of Mount Tai overwhelming against the Great Food Army, it is necessary to be general in time, and only in this way can the most heavy blow be dealt to the Great Food Army.

Otherwise, the Tang army's arrival at one point today and tomorrow is just a refueling tactic, which will not only fail to achieve the goal of annihilating the Great Food Army, but will cause the Tang army to suffer huge losses.

After careful calculation, Li Changguo and the others believed that there was a time difference of three days, and it was estimated that it was almost over.

Li Changguo was dressed in Mingguang armor, carrying a horizontal sword at his waist, carrying a hard bow and arrows, and rode a horse. When he came to the front of the military formation, he glanced at the Tang army and saw that the Tang army was in high spirits, morale was like a rainbow, and the fighting spirit was high, and Li Changguo was greatly satisfied.

"Brethren, we will follow in the footsteps of our forefathers and march from the Silk Road to the Western Regions." Li Changguo began to lecture, saying: "Our ancestors brought silk, tea, spices and other goods from the Silk Road to the Great Food, and now we will bring pain, sorrow, and killing to the Great Food from the Silk Road. We must kill all the dogs! ”

"Kill all the big dogs!" The soldiers erupted in an earth-shattering roar.

"If you don't break the big food, you swear not to pay it back!" Under the leadership of Li Changguo, the soldiers broke out into a shocking oath.

"Let's go!" Li Changguo's right hand slashed down towards the west, like thunder and lightning, and the momentum was extraordinary.

As soon as Li Changguo took the reins of his horse, he took the lead in heading west, and was the first to set foot on the Silk Road.

"Rumble!" Long Wujun followed closely behind and set off with Li Changguo.

Behind Long Wujun, the Tang army followed one team after another.

"This is the Silk Road!" Li Changguo once again set foot on the Silk Road, and he was very emotional.

When Li Changguo came to the Tang Dynasty, he served in the garrison on the Silk Road, and since then he has embarked on his brilliant life. With Gao Xianzhi's southern expedition, he conquered Xiao Bolu, captured King Xiao Bolu alive, and established military achievements.

After returning to the Western Regions, Li Changguo was ordered by Gao Xianzhi to go east to Chang'an to report the victory. At that time, he came from the Silk Road to the land of Hehuang and then to Chang'an.

This time, Li Changguo once again set foot on the Silk Road, regardless of his status, status and power, he was very different. The last time he went to Chang'an from the Silk Road, he was just a small lieutenant in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, with a very low status, status, and power, and he was also among the generals. When he arrived in Longxi, Wang Zhongsi was not even interested in meeting him.

And now, he is a famous general in the world, commanding hundreds of thousands of troops, once again embarking on the Silk Road, coming to relieve the urgency of the Xidu of An, and his position and power have undergone tremendous changes.
