Chapter Eighty-Eight: Feng Changqing, Attack!
"Ding, ding, ding!"
The crisp sound of metal crashing kept ringing, dense as fried beans, and hundreds of people were training.
These hundreds of people are Shulek's subordinates, and since they received the equipment supported by the Tang Army, they have been stepping up their training, preparing to give Da Shi a ruthless blow during the Great Food Crusade.
The equipment provided to them by the Tang army was scimitars, chain mail, bows and arrows, and without the horizontal knives, crossbows and Mingguang armor of the Tang army, their equipment was far from comparable to that of the Tang army. Even so, it still greatly increased the combat power of these people.
Feng Changqing and Shulek stood on the mountain bag, watching them train, and couldn't help nodding.
"General Feng, this is really grateful." Shulek rushed to seal Changqing and saluted.
"That's a big deal." Feng Changqing's slanted eyes didn't know where to go, and his ugly face was very ugly when he smiled, and said, "I really didn't expect that the Manichaean people wouldn't even be able to fight." ”
After Feng Changqing came here, he made a surprising discovery, that is, these disciples could not fight. After Tang Jun gave them the equipment, they would only fight on their own, and they would not be able to fight in formation, Feng Changqing was surprised for a while.
"Huh. Let General Feng smile. Shulek smiled wryly: "If it weren't for General Feng here, we really don't know what would have become." We are originally believers, not an army, and we will only fight alone, and we will not be able to fight in a battle. Besides, Persia has been dead for a hundred years, and our son is very sad, we have no equipment, we can't train, and we can't forget it. ”
This is the great truth, although Manichaeism is the state religion of the Persian Empire, after all, it is a religion, not an army, and they are not good at fighting in battle. Besides, Persia has been in exile for a hundred years, and they have lost their foundation, let alone equipment, even if they used to know how to fight in battle, they should forget everything.
Fortunately, Shulek was shrewd and immediately asked Feng Changqing for help and asked Feng Changqing to help them train.
Trained these believers well and used them to harass the rear of the Great Food, which was of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty, which was Feng Changqing's original intention to come this time.
Of course, the shrewd Feng Changqing will not be satisfied with this, he also has to control these believers and ask them to fight according to his will, only in this way can the interests be maximized and the greatest benefit to the Tang Dynasty.
Yes, Feng Changqing put on an unordered appearance, and said a bunch of problems, and in the end, it boils down to one sentence, you have to let me train them, they must listen to me, otherwise, don't talk about it.
If this could not be satisfied, Feng Changqing trained them well, and they acted according to their own standards, which would have limited benefits for the Tang Dynasty.
Shulek is a shrewd person, and naturally understands the serious consequences of agreeing to Feng Changqing's request, which will be extremely unfavorable to him. However, at the moment, he has no bargaining chips, first, his equipment needs to be supplied by the Tang Dynasty, and second, he needs Feng Changqing to train. After some bargaining, he had to agree to Feng Changqing's conditions.
However, the shrewd Schulek attached one condition, that is, not to the detriment of the interests of Manichaeism. Feng Changqing didn't think about it, he readily agreed, and swore that you were the most shrewd decision. Let me lead them, and they will only get stronger.
Although Feng Changqing is famous in the Western Regions, Shulek still doesn't believe it. Soon, he was relieved to hand over the disciples to Feng Changqing, because Feng Changqing's military talents were very good, and with his efforts, these disciples had undergone tremendous changes, and their combat power had increased greatly.
"My lord, we're running out of food and grass." A guard came briskly and reported to Shulek.
"Grain and grass?" Schulek's brows furrowed, very embarrassed, this was a problem that gave him an extreme headache.
He proposed to Feng Changqing that the Tang Dynasty would provide him with grain and grass, but Feng Changqing refused without thinking about it.
Just kidding, if the Tang Dynasty provided grain and grass again, these disciples would be full of food, food and clothing, and they would not move all day, which would be tantamount to the Tang Dynasty raising a group of pigs, which would not be beneficial to the Tang Dynasty at all, because the Tang Dynasty only provided them with weapons, but did not give them grain and grass, forcing them to fight the big food.
You don't move? Well, hunger will drive you to act.
"General Feng, can Datang give us some grain and grass?" Shulek had no choice but to bring up the old matter again, looking at Feng Changqing with blank eyes.
"My friend, don't worry about this, I have a way." Feng Changqing said with a smile.
"Do you have a way? How? "Shulek's biggest headache is grain and grass, he can't do anything if he wants to break his head, at first glance when he hears that Feng Changqing has a way, his joy is beyond words.
"It's very simple, just rob the big food." Feng Changqing's smile was a few more points.
"Hit the Big Eat?" Shulek spread his hands helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "General Feng, I want to too, but can we have that power?" ”
"The way of using soldiers, winning with the right combination, and the way of the right lies in one heart. Although the number of people we have at the moment is not large, there are only hundreds, and as long as they are used well, they are tantamount to thousands of troops. Feng Changqing raised his head, his chest was straight, and he was full of confidence.
"That's a bit of a big deal, isn't it?" It is hard to believe that Shulek does not understand the art of war.
Several scouts galloped over, came to the front, flew off their horses, and after saluting Shulek and Feng Changqing, they hurriedly reported: "The baggage team that found the Great Eclipse." ”
"Oh. How many people are there? Schulek's eyes flashed, full of hope.
He was worried about food and grass, and a large food baggage team arrived, which was a great thing that someone handed a pillow when he wanted to doze off.
"Your Excellency, there are no less than a thousand soldiers escorted." The scout was very excited: "They have transported thousands of carts of grain and grass, if we can rob it, it will be enough for a long time." ”
"Shut up." Shulek snorted and said helplessly: "Thousands of food soldiers are escorted, how can we eat with our little people?" ”
He has dealt with Da Shi all his life, and he knows very well how strong the Da Shi army is, far from being able to deal with his subordinates.
"General Feng, I didn't say you, there were baggage teams passing by the first few times, why didn't you start? Those baggage teams only had three or two hundred people, and they were exactly what we were targeting. Shulek rushed to seal Changqing and complained.
"Don't complain, my friend." Feng Changqing's smile did not decrease at all, and said, "I want to make the whole big fish." You think, we never started, and the big food would never have thought of it, and if we want to move, we will move big. If we start early, and we are prepared for big food, how can we make a big fish? ”
This also made sense, and after a while, Shulek asked, "This is a big fish, can you eat it?" ”
Feng Changqing pulled out the horizontal knife, gestured on the ground for a while, and then said with the tip of the knife: "Here, it is a good place to start." ”
"You're confident, but can you do it?" Shulek is still in disbelief.
"You'll see." Feng Changqing smiled heartily.
xxxxxxxxx "Rumble! "The baggage team of the Great Eater, under the escort of a group of soldiers, quickly rushed east.
The commander of the escort was tall, riding on a tall horse, looked at the baggage team, and shouted: "You haven't eaten? Like a woman. Did You Know? The Governor has already hit Qiuzi, and he has hit Qiuzi. Do you know where the turtles are? Qiuzi is the old nest of the Anxi Protectorate, the old nest of Gao Xianzhi, and he has been surrounded by the Governor. ”
"Allah!" The soldier erupted in an earth-shattering roar.
Hitting China is the long-cherished wish of the Great Eclipse, and this news is great news for the Great Eclipse soldiers, all of whom are very excited, and they can't wait to put on their wings and fly to Qiuzi immediately.
"If we go late, there will be no beautiful silk, fine porcelain, and fragrant spices......" the commander then roared, in a high-pitched, high-pitched voice, "Beat these pigs hard!" "Pig squirrel, hurry, hurry!" The whips in the hands of the soldiers were struck the slaves.
The screams of the slaves were louder, more terrible than the sound of killing pigs, and it was terrifying.
However, the Great Eaters had no sympathy, and on the contrary, they laughed as if it were a matter of supreme pleasure.
The Arab Empire was a slave country, slaves were everywhere, and oppression of slaves was commonplace. For the Great Eaters, a slave was an object, and they could torture as much as they wanted. With the way they dealt with the slaves, the torture was good, and it was already good that they were not killed with a single sword.
The slaves had to exert their strength to feed, and the speed of the baggage team was greatly increased, but the soldiers of the Great Eater were still not satisfied, and the whipping became even more severe.
Soon, we came to a canyon. The canyon runs under two peaks and is very long, with only two cars passing through it at its narrowest point, about five or six miles long.
The commander raised his eyebrows, looked at it for a while, and saw that there were countless messy ruts on the ground, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly that he was too careful, and with a wave of his hand, the baggage team entered the canyon.
Soon, the entire convoy entered the canyon.
"Boom!"
I heard an earth-shattering sound suddenly appear, and I saw countless rolling logs and rocks rolling down from the mountain peak, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Soon, the entrance and exit were blocked, and the baggage team was in a dilemma.
"There's an ambush." The elder was shocked and secretly scolded himself for being unlucky.
Since the Great Food went eastward, I had to transport a lot of baggage every day, and I haven't had an accident, and my luck is too good, and I was the first to be ambushed.
Fortunately, the commander's courage was good, and he was not alarmed, and shouted loudly, asking the soldiers to prepare for battle.
"Who ate the gall of a leopard and beat our mind? There is a kind of one who comes out to fight to the death. The Commander yelled.
"Listen to the people inside, we are the army of the Tang Dynasty, you are surrounded by us, lay down your weapons and spare you from dying. If you dare to say nothing, you won't leave a single one. A gong-like voice rang out, very harsh.
"Tang Jun?" The commander was very unconvinced, and sneered: "Hugh wants to say that there is chaos, the Tang army is surrounded by the governor, and it is difficult to fly, how can you come here." ”
"You don't believe it, do you? I have a way of convincing you. The sound of a broken gong sounded again, and it suddenly rose: "Fight!" Hit me hard! Kill them and believe it! ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard an earth-shattering sound, like thunder, and I saw countless rolling logs and stones rolling down from the two mountain peaks.
