Chapter 19:-for-tat

Turtles.

The Great Food Army is launching an overwhelming attack on Qiuzi City, regardless of casualties, going forward one after another, as if they will not stop until they defeat Qiuzi.

After months of fierce fighting, the walls of Qiuzi were russet and watered with blood. There are countless corpses under the city, piled up layer after layer, layer after layer, layer by layer, I don't know how many.

Originally, the attack of the Great Food Army on Qiuzi was relatively stable, although it was not interrupted, but it was not as fierce as it was in front of him. The attack of the Great Eclipse army has become extremely ferocious from three days ago, and the reason why it has changed so much is because of the news that Ziad brought back.

This matter has to start from three days ago.

Abu at that time? The Muslims were looking at the map in the tent and pondering, when a guard came in and reported: "My lord, Ziyad asks to see you." ”

"Ziad? What did he come to do? "Abu? The Muslims were a little surprised: "Did he take Khotan?" ”

Ziyad was ordered to attack Khotan, Abu? Muslims have been looking forward to him for good news, and when they hear this, they naturally think about it.

However, the words of the guards disappointed him greatly. I saw that the guards hesitated, Abu? The Muslim shouted: "Say! ”

There was only one word, but there was a thunderous momentum, which frightened the guards and hurriedly said: "My lord, Ziad has suffered a defeat." ”

"Defeated?" Abu? The Muslim raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, extremely powerful, and snorted coldly: "Hugh wants to talk nonsense. Ziad led tens of thousands of people to attack Khotan, and even if he could not take it, he would not lose the battle. ”

Ziyad was his confidant and favorite general, and was ordered to attack Khotan, leading tens of thousands of troops, which was ten times the number of the Tang army in Khotan. The Muslims believe that Ziyad has suffered a defeat, and it is really difficult.

"Absolutely." The guards were busy affirming.

"Reinforcements from the Chinese have arrived? Call him in. "Abu? The Muslims were so intelligent that as soon as they confirmed that Ziyad had suffered a defeat, they immediately thought of the reason.

The guards responded. Busy passing Ziad.

"How many reinforcements are there from the Chinese?" Abu? Muslims' brows furrowed, and their eyes rested on the map again.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and I saw Ziad covered in blood, as if he had taken a bath in blood, and the whole person was exhausted, and the heroic spirit that used to be majestic and high-spirited no longer existed. It's like a defeated rooster.

"Ziad, what's wrong with you?"

"How did you get to this?"

"Who hurt you?"

Ziad is a famous warrior of the Great Eclipse. A body of martial arts is extremely superb, with the courage of ten thousand people, he was injured like this, the generals saw it in their eyes, shocked in their hearts, very curious, and couldn't stop asking.

Abu? Muslim Ho turned around. A pair of tiger eyes scorched, and his gaze fell on Ziad, and a touch of surprise passed through his eyes, and then disappeared.

He knew Ziad too well, he was a fierce general among fierce generals, brave and fierce, and he was injured like this, if he was not surprised. Good thing Abu? The Muslim city is as deep as the sea, and it is very good at controlling its expression, although it is full of surprise. It's gone in a flash.

"I've seen adults." Ziyad dragged his tired body, stepped forward, and rushed at Abu? When the Muslims salute, a series of coughs followed: "Ahem, ahem." "Blood flowed from the mouth.

"Say, who will lead the Chinese reinforcements?" Abu? Muslims get straight to the point.

"Chinese reinforcements?" The crowd will be stunned.

If it weren't for the arrival of Tang reinforcements, no one would have been able to hurt Ziade. After the generals came to their senses, they said to Abu? The Muslims were impressed by their extraordinary intellect.

"It's Li Changguo." Ziyad vs. Abu? Muslims know too well. Knowing that he was intelligent, he was not surprised at all, and replied loudly. It's just that the voice is a little trembling. Mixed with coughing from time to time.

"Lee Chang Kook? Who is that? ”

"I haven't heard of it. Have you ever heard of this person? ”

"There is no one in China, and such a nobody is being sent."

The generals had a fairly good understanding of the situation in the Tang Dynasty. It's just that I don't know the number one person Li Changguo. Li Changguo is a figure who has only risen in the past two years, but what they know is the former celebrities, so naturally they will not know about Li Changguo.

"Lee Chang Kook?" Abu? The Muslim's brows furrowed, he groaned slightly, and asked, "But that brave captain who went east to Chang'an?" ”

Abu? Muslims are different from the generals, and he pays much more attention to matters than the generals, and is much more detailed, even Li Changguo, the small lieutenant of the former Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, knows about it.

"Your Excellency is wise." Ziad was surprised.

"I heard that this Li Changguo is brave and fierce, and he is known as the first fierce general of the Anxi Protectorate, even Li Siye is not an opponent. It doesn't seem to be fake, otherwise, it wouldn't hurt you so badly. "Abu? The Muslim nodded heavily and said, "Tell me more." ”

This is Abu? Muslim, he can think from the casualties on Ziyad that this is the result of Li Changguo's battle, this intelligence is really amazing.

Ziad replied and explained the situation. He can speak to a person who knows the Tao, and when he talks about the repeated analysis, he is very clear, and he can explain it clearly in just a while.

"So good?" The generals were surprised for a while, a little incredulous, their mouths opened wide, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

They know Ziad too well, this is a famous warrior of the Arab Empire, strong in martial arts, and skilled, but they didn't expect that they would be defeated in three or two moves under Li Changguo, and they were still defeated so completely that they couldn't help the generals not be shocked.

"Sizzle!" The generals gasped. With Ziad's bravery, he is not Li Changguo's opponent, if he encounters it, what will it be like? The more they thought about it, the more chills arose in their hearts.

"Good, good!" However, what is surprising is that Abu? The Muslims clapped their hands and applauded loudly.

"My lord, although Li Changguo is strong in martial arts and has good skills, he is too young. At such an age, commanding so many squadrons, the Chinese emperor is too child's play. Some generals were extremely disdainful of Li Changguo: "It's just a kid with strong limbs." ”

"Shut up!" Abu? The Muslims snorted, and the generals no longer dared to belittle Li Changguo.

"I remind you that Li Changguo is our strength and must not be taken lightly." Abu? The eyes of the Muslims shone brightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You only saw that Li Changguo injured Ziad, but I saw his arrangement, which is extremely good, this is an expert in the use of soldiers, and must not be underestimated." ”

Abu? Muslims have a different vision, and what he values is not Li Changguo's bravery, but Li Changguo's method of using troops. No matter how brave a general is, the role he can play in the battle of the army is not very large, and his method of using troops is the most important. This is Abu? Muslims always grasp the crux of the matter.

Glancing at the generals, he saw that the generals still didn't believe it, raised his voice, and said: "If you still don't believe it, I'll let you believe that Li Changguo is an opponent that should not be underestimated." If you use your troops to relieve the siege of Khotan, what will you do? ”

"You will definitely concentrate your forces and launch an attack on Khotan. The number of troops you use will be at least 30,000 or more, am I right? ”

The generals nodded in agreement.

Abu? The light in the eyes of the Muslims was even brighter, and he said: "But Li Changguo did the opposite, and only led 10,000 troops to dare to attack Ziyad and relieve the siege of Khotan." What's more, as soon as he came up, he sent the Long Wu Army to charge into battle, and with the strong combat power of the Long Wu Army, Ziad was caught off guard. Then send out the Mo Sword Battle Formation to fight Ziad. Subsequently, Chinese reinforcements arrived, changing the situation and defeating Ziad. ”

After a slight pause, he said, "What do you see from this?" I saw the careful layout and accurate grasp. ”

The crowd was a little puzzled.

"You forgot the problem that the Silk Road was not wide enough to pass through too many troops." Abu? The Muslim general explained: "In other words, he also planned how to relieve the siege of Khotan in the land of the river." If it's just a scheme, it's not enough to make people pay attention to him. What is surprising is his ability to control the whole course of the engagement, he can control the squadron very well, let the squadron go into battle according to his plan, and there are no mistakes. That's the scariest thing. ”

Planning, anyone can plan, many people can have a bad plan, but can not be accurately implemented, so that their plan can only be on paper.

And Li Changguo can not only plan, but also have an amazing ability to execute, so that the entire campaign can be carried out according to his requirements, which is a very remarkable ability.

"Throughout the ages, there has been no shortage of geniuses of planning and execution, however, it is very rare to have both genius planning and genius executors! Lee Chang Kook is such a terrible opponent! "Abu? The Muslims raised the terrible of Lee Chang Kook to a very high level.

There was silence, and the generals were speechless.

"Ziade, you have suffered a defeat, the military law is ruthless, and the rod is punished with ten sticks." Abu? The Muslims announced the disposition of Ziyad.

"Ten sticks? So light? The generals were confused and puzzled again.

Abu? Muslims are very strict, only recognize military law, not people, no matter who you are, as long as you violate military law, you must be dealt with according to military law. With Ziade's mistake, not to mention beheading, it is not much worse, only ten rods are punished, this punishment is too light.

"There's a big fight next, I can't do without it, Ziad is already seriously injured, I can't let him get more seriously injured." Abu? The Muslim explained.

"My lord, please give orders, we will send troops to annihilate the squadron." The generals shouted for battle.

"No!" Abu? Muslims categorically refused.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Tang army's foothold was not stable and the follow-up troops had not yet arrived, it was the best plan to send troops on a large scale to defeat the Tang army. However, such a rare plan, Abu? The fact that the Muslims did not accept it was a great puzzle to the generals.

"Good time!" Abu? The Muslims' eyes twinkled, and they said, "The more the squadron, the better!" We didn't go anywhere, just waited for the arrival of Hou Li Changguo at the foot of Qiuzi City, and annihilated all the squadrons in one fell swoop. Well, the order was given to launch a fierce attack on Qiuzi, but it could not be broken, and the city could not be broken before the arrival of the army led by Li Changguo! ”

This order was very strange, and the generals were strange again.

If you put Abu? When viewed in connection with the plans of Muslims and Li Changguo, the plans of the two are-for-tat.
