Chapter 21
"Dugo, what's wrong with you? Reinforcements arrived? The guards saw Gao Xianzhi's actions in their eyes, and they were very curious, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"Assemble the brethren, I have something to say." Gao Xianzhi did not answer the question, but gave an order.
The guards responded and hurriedly went to order.
Gao Xianzhi's eyes widened, staring at the silk silk in his hand, the essence of the light burst out, a smile appeared on his face, and praised: "Li Changguo, you kid, my virtuous, you are finally going to make a big article." This article is done, it is a big one, and it will be praised for future generations. However, if you are worried, I will solve it for you. Li Changguo, you kid Qianju don't have to lose Miaoli's girl, otherwise, I won't be finished with you. ”
Just as he was muttering, the guards came to report that the army had been assembled, and Gao Xianzhi walked away quickly.
"Du Hu, are you going to fight the big dog? Command, come in the fire and go in the water. ”
"The big dog has been bullying us for so long, it's time for us to fight back. When our reinforcements arrived, we joined forces to kill all the dogs. ”
According to the soldiers, Gao Xianzhi asked them to assemble at this time, which must be to understand the siege of Qiuzi. Since the eastward expansion of the Great Food, it has always been the dream of the Tang Army to relieve the siege of Qiuzi, and they are looking forward to it all the time. In the past, it was because of the lack of troops and could not break the siege, but now that the Tang Dynasty reinforcements have arrived in the Western Regions, they must have killed Ben Qiuzi, and they can't think of it if they don't live in this aspect.
"Brothers, I have disappointed you, our reinforcements will not come for the time being." Gao Xianzhi glanced at the soldiers and said bluntly.
"What? Can't come? ”
"What's going on?"
The soldiers were stunned by Gao Xianzhi's words, and they all opened their mouths wide with a look of disbelief.
When the Tang Dynasty reinforcements arrived in the Western Regions, as soon as they were assembled, they would send Qiuci to launch an attack, and cooperate with Qiuci's garrison to relieve the siege of Qiuci in one fell swoop. However, Gao Xianzhi told them that reinforcements would not come, which could not help but shock them.
"I'm not going to let reinforcements arrive." Gao Xianzhi's words made the soldiers even more unbelievable, and they all looked at Gao Xianzhi one by one, so shocked that they couldn't even speak.
How can there be such a thing in the world? Qiuzi was looking forward to reinforcements all the time, and after the reinforcements arrived in the Western Regions, Gao Xianzhi didn't let the reinforcements arrive, is this confused?
"Duhu, why is that? Are you confused? ”
"Duhu, how can you do this?"
"Duhu, take a closer look, we thousands of brothers, there are only so few people left, Qiuzi will fall at any time, if we don't break the siege, we will all die, Qiuzi will fall, and we will become sinners through the ages."
The soldiers were furious and shouted, and some even accused Gao Xianzhi of being confused. Gao Xianzhi is extraordinary, he is the backbone of the Anxi Protectorate, his prestige in the Tang Army is very high, and the soldiers worship him very much, but today he is accusing him in person, his words are really too disappointing, and it is impossible for the soldiers not to accuse.
Gao Xianzhi pressed down with both hands, signaling the soldiers to be quiet, and the soldiers kept silent.
"I understand your feelings, brethren, but I ask you to give me a moment to talk about it." Gao Xianzhi frowned, and said, "You have been in the Anxi Capital for a long time, and you have some understanding of the situation of the Great Food. You all know, this time Abu? The Great Food Army led by the Muslims came from Anguo Shiguo, Talas, Samarkand, and Khorasan, and these Great Food Eaters were the elite of these regions. If we annihilate these Great Food Armies in the Western Regions, these areas will have no troops to defend, and the Tang Dynasty will be a soldier who will surrender without a fight, which will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty. ”
The soldiers' eyes were unusually bright, and they all agreed: "Yes! That's what Du Hu said. ”
"Du Hu, how can we annihilate the big dog?" Immediately afterwards, the soldiers were puzzled again and asked Gao Xianzhi for advice.
"That's exactly what I'm going to do with you." Gao Xianzhi shook the silk silk in his hand and said, "Li Dashuai is making a big deal, if you want to annihilate the big dog in the Western Regions, you need our cooperation." ”
"Duhu, don't you want reinforcements to come to relieve the siege of Qiuzi?" Tang Jun, who had a quick response, had already guessed it.
"It's not that Li Dashuai won't come, it's that I plan not to let him come." Gao Xianzhi then explained, "We have been sticking to Qiuzi for several months, we are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Dashuai will come to rescue us no matter what." But have you ever thought about it? If Li Dashuai is in a hurry, and there are not many Tang troops entering the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to completely annihilate the big dogs. ”
"Du Hu, are you going to use us as bait to attract the big dogs to Qiuzi, so that Li Dashuai can calmly gather the army?" There was a quick reaction from the Tang Army.
"Exactly." Gao Xianzhi nodded in agreement and said, "Otherwise, it will not be possible to attract the Great Food Army to Qiuzi." ”
"Dashuai, will we die? Will the turtles fall? Tang Jun asked hesitantly.
"I don't know, I really don't know." Gao Xianzhi is extraordinary, there is nothing he can't calculate, this is the first time in his life that he says he doesn't know, which makes the soldiers' faces darken.
"I don't want to deceive you, I just want to tell the truth today so that you can be prepared." Gao Xianzhi's brows tightened even tighter, and he said, "If Guizi is here, can he attract Abu?" the strength of the Muslims; The fall of Qiuzi made Li Dashuai no longer tied his hands and feet, he could use troops more flexibly, and Datang's chances of winning would be greater. ”
Qiuzi is undoubtedly a rope that binds Li Changguo's hands and feet. The soldiers of Qiuzi are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and he must come to the front circle, if this is the case, it will make him unable to let go, and he will not be able to completely annihilate the Great Food Army, which will bury endless troubles.
If Qiuzi is lost, Li Changguo will have no scruples, and he can let go of his hands and feet to use troops and annihilate the Great Food Army in the Western Regions. Gao Xianzhi is relieving Li Changguo and making Li Changguo more flexible in his use of troops.
It's just that this price is too big and unfair to the Tang army stationed in Qiuzi, which is why Gao Xianzhi summoned them to discuss.
"You have a chance to survive, I can't make decisions for you, you can only choose. Do you choose to live by yourself and leave behind endless troubles, killing and wounding tens of thousands of brothers in the next war, or do you choose to sacrifice your life for the country and leave no future troubles and annihilate the Great Dog Eater in the Western Regions? Gao Xianzhi's eyes widened, glanced at the soldiers, and roared loudly, like thunder.
The soldiers were silent, no one spoke, only the sound of heavy breathing.
Just because soldiers are not afraid of death does not mean that they are willing to die. Knowing that there was hope of survival, the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty had already arrived in the Western Regions, and it was difficult for anyone to decide, which was too embarrassing.
Shaking the silk silk, Gao Xianzhi asked loudly, "Have you thought about it?" Li Dashuai was waiting for my reply. ”
It is true that Li Changguo is waiting for Gao Xianzhi's reply. In this military report, Li Changguo was asking Gao Xianzhi if he could hold on for another month or two.
"Whew!" The soldiers' breathing was heavy, like oxen panting, and their eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
"We are not afraid of death!" Suddenly, the soldiers erupted into a terrifying roar, and the sound soared into the sky, and it also contained an indomitable heroic momentum.
"Thank you, brethren! Being able to live and die with you, my Gao Xianzhi is worth it in this life! Gao Xianzhi snorted, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the soldiers.
"Duhu, please get up quickly!" With tears in their eyes, the soldiers knelt on the ground and saluted: "It is our honor to live and die with Duhu!" Being able to sacrifice his life for Datang is the best destination for Datang men! ”
Let there be any bold words, but it has its own heroic spirit.
"Yudu Hu, the big dog is here." The guards shouted loudly.
"Choke!" The soldiers drew their swords out of their sheaths, their faces solemn, and they just waited for Gao Xianzhi to give an order.
"Wait!" Gao Xianzhi did not give an order immediately, but let the Great Food Army rush into the city and approach it, and then said, "Brothers: This is our last battle!" ”
"The last battle! Swear to live and die with the turtle! The soldiers erupted into a terrifying roar, brandished their horizontal swords, and rushed towards the Great Food Army.
The Tang army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, one top ten, brave and invincible, not defending at all, just attacking, killing the Great Food Army and retreating.
"Is Tang Jun crazy? What is the last battle? The general of the Great Food was puzzled and yelled: "Chong Chong Chong! Kill all the Chinese! Kill all the Chinese! Turtles are about to be conquered! ”
The Tang army only attacked, not defended, although this style of play was brave, the price paid was not small, the casualties were very large, only need to fight for a while, the Tang army will be killed and wounded, and Qiuci will fall, which undoubtedly stimulates the Great Food Army, all of which are full of morale, ready to kill the Tang army and capture Qiuzi.
"Retreat!" Abu? The Muslims looked at the siege, their brows furrowed, and a sneer appeared.
"Retreat?" The generals of the Great Food thought they had heard it wrong, and they all looked incredulous, so they forgot to pass the order, and their eyes were focused on Abu? In the case of Muslims, that is asking.
Seeing that victory is about to be won, how can there be any reason to withdraw from the army? This is Qiuzi, the garrison of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Gao Xianzhi is even more in the city, it only takes half an hour to take it down, and when the army is withdrawn, who will believe it?
"You heard it right, it's retreat." Abu? Muslims are sure.
"Why, my lord? The turtle is about to fall. ”
"We've been attacking Qiuzi for months, isn't this the moment we've been waiting for?"
The generals were puzzled and shouted.
"Gao Xianzhi wants to untie Li Changguo, how can I let him succeed?" Abu? The Muslims smiled coldly, and gave a rare explanation to the generals, saying: "If Qiuzi is captured by us, Li Changguo can use troops more flexibly, after all, we have come from afar, which is extremely unfavorable to us." If I don't capture Qiuci, I will force Li Changguo to come to Qiuci to fight a decisive battle with us, this is my plan. ”
"My lord, is Li Chang coming?" The generals did not believe him.
"He's going to come, because I'm using a scheming." Abu? Muslims are very confident and very determined.
"Yangmou?" The congregation doesn't quite understand the word.
"Yang conspiracy is to hit the enemy's vital point, so that the enemy knows that this is a plan, and has to get in. We left Qiuzi, this is the key point of Li Changguo, he dare not come. "Abu? The Muslims have relieved the doubts of the people.
The generals seem to have come to their senses, according to Abu? The Muslims ordered the troops to withdraw.
Looking at the retreating Dashi army, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army all widened their eyes, in disbelief, as if they were dreaming. Obviously, it has reached a life-and-death juncture, and the Great Food Army has retreated, and it is really difficult for the Tang Army to believe that this is true.
"Haha!" Gao Xianzhi's hearty laughter sounded, and he was extremely comfortable: "Abu? Muslims, you are such a good gamer! It's good, it's a good one! However, this kid Li Changguo is not so easy to deal with. Next, there's a good show! ”
