Chapter 32: The Decisive Battle in the Western Regions (2)
Well, good, thwarted the Chinese offensive...... What did you say? The Chinese stormed our camp? This is impossible, it is impossible! "Although Abu? Muslim is shrewd, but he did not expect that his carefully arranged defense line would be broken by the Tang army, and at first glance he thought that he was coming to report the good news, thinking that he had stopped the Tang army's attack. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he came to his senses immediately after saying a word.
Abu? Muslims have long known that there is a Tang Dynasty army in the desert, which will definitely be pressed from the north to echo Li Changguo, so he made careful arrangements and sent a large army to defend in the north. Because the Tang army under the command of Li Changguo stubbornly resisted, he had to draw troops from the northern defense line, and in order to strengthen the northern defense line, he ordered the trench to be widened and deepened to block the Tang army's attack, which can be said to be foolproof.
He thought that the iron bucket-like defense line had been broken by the Tang army, where would he believe it. It is still a little difficult for him to believe.
"My lord, it's true." The guards affirmed loudly and said, "My lord, you see, the Tang army is coming here." ”
Abu? The Muslims looked in the direction of the guard's finger, and sure enough, they saw that the Tang army had flooded the camp of Da Shi like a tidal wave, rolling towards the city of Qiuzi, like a broken bamboo, unstoppable.
"This ...... How do they do it? They breached the camp? Our trench was wide and deep, and I ordered it to be dug wider and deeper. "Abu? Muslims, as shrewd as they are, are also confused.
"My lord, the Chinese are so ruthless." The guards recalled the Tang army's method of filling the trench, and they were also shocked, it was 100,000 war horses: "They let the war horses carry the soil, and with the army rushed to the trench, they filled the trench with war horses." ”
"With a war horse? How much does that cost? It takes two or three hundred thousand horses, right? You can't use so much dirt on your load, 100,000 is enough. Good planning! Good planning! "Abu? When the Muslims turned their minds to it, they understood it and could not help but be amazed.
This idea was not thought of by him, and he would not be able to do it without praise.
"Li Changguo, you are enough, you are enough, but I will definitely deal with you!" Abu? The Muslims put this plan on the head of Li Changguo.
This is a messy cover, this idea was Guo Ziyi's idea, not Li Changguo's idea. Li Changguo just believed that with Guo Ziyi's talent, he had a way no matter what kind of situation he encountered, so he boldly handed over the reinforcement to Guo Ziyi to do.
The Tang army, under the command of Guo Ziyi, slaughtered against Qiuzi, pulled a large encirclement, and prepared to divide and surround the Great Food Army, and cooperate with Li Changguo to eat one piece.
Looking at this situation, if the Tang army succeeds, at least 1560,000 Great Eclipse troops will be surrounded. Once surrounded, the 200,000 army led by Guo Ziyi plus the 100,000 Tang army led by Li Changguo, under the combination of inside and outside, these Great Food Army will definitely be killed. It's not cost-effective, it's not cost-effective. The top priority is to break out of the encirclement of the Don army and preserve its strength.
Abu? The Muslims immediately made a decision and ordered loudly: "Withdraw!" Get out! ”
He was very unwilling, but he had no choice but to do so, and yelled at Li Changguo: "Li Changguo, you don't have to be complacent, we will fight to the death in Qiuzi." ”
"That's what I mean!" Li Changguo replied loudly, waved his right hand, and shouted: "Kill!" The big dog eats and wants to escape. ”
Jumping out of the encirclement of the Tang army and fighting again with the whole army is the most urgent thing for the Great Food Army at the moment, of course Li Changguo can see it, how can he let Abu? The Muslims succeeded, commanding the Tang army to chase after them from behind.
If you can eat more than 100,000 food troops now, it will be of great benefit to the next big war, needless to say, no one will miss this good opportunity, the Tang army is all using the strength to eat milk, and chase and kill from behind.
"Hugh wants to let the big dog escape!" Guo Ziyi also saw his innocence and commanded the Tang army to oppress from behind.
Abu? Unfazed, the Muslims commanded the Great Eclipse army to retreat. The Great Food Army is worthy of being the world-famous elite, although the battle situation is unfavorable, it is not panicked at all, and responds calmly. The command of the Muslims, in an orderly and orderly manner, retreated, and after a bloody battle, finally jumped out of the encirclement of the Don army.
"Attack the camp!" Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi made a decision in unison and commanded the Tang army to press towards the Dashi camp.
However, this time it was unsuccessful. The reason is that the Great Food Army is prepared, in Abu? Under the command of the Muslims, they were guarded like iron buckets. Moreover, the Tang army was not prepared to deal with the further preparation of the trench, could not cross the trench, and only broke out a bloody battle in front of the camp gate, which was difficult to succeed in, and finally had to retreat.
"According to the camp, go down to the village!" Li Changguo ordered loudly.
As soon as the Tang army arrived in Qiuzi, they were with the Great Food War, and they didn't have time to set up camp at all. After this battle, although the Tang army did not achieve much success, it relieved the siege of Qiuzi and broke the Abu? The Muslim conspiracy to demoralize the Don army, moreover, gained a foothold, which was also a remarkable victory.
The Tang army began to set up camp in an orderly and orderly manner. Li Changguo and Guo Ziyi led a part of the Tang army to guard against the big food army from coming out to disturb them.
Sure enough, Abu? Muslims will not let go of any opportunity, as soon as he reorganizes the army of Dashi, he sends the army out to disturb him, but fortunately, the Tang army is prepared, Abu? The Muslims had no choice but to give up on several occasions when they were unsuccessful.
After the Tang army set up the camp, it took Qiuci as the center, covering an area of dozens of miles, and at a glance, there were military tents everywhere, which was not magnificent.
Li Changguo finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he and Guo Ziyi and Gao Xianzhi would join together to discuss military aircraft.
Gao Xianzhi and they slept for a day and a night, and when they woke up, they were exhausted, so they were not energetic, and everyone's mouths were cracked into lotuses, and they were very happy. This is the most relaxed moment for them since the Great Eclipse went eastward.
Gao Xianzhi was the most happy, not for anything else, just because of the arrival of Chenglong's fast son-in-law. When Li Changguo left the Anxi Protectorate, he was just a small school captain, and now that Li Changguo has returned to the Western Regions, he is already a high-powered, world-famous general, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, is there anything more joyful for Gao Xianzhi?
"Li Changguo, you kid, let me ...... Father-in-law, I'll take a good look. Gao Xianzhi shouted from afar in front of so many people, hehe, straight, brisk, the whole person floated up, and floated in front of Li Changguo in a few steps, pressing his hands on Li Changguo's shoulders, a pair of eyes widened, looking left and right, the more he looked, the more he was happy.
"My son-in-law has seen my father-in-law!" Li Changguo greeted Gao Xianzhi.
"Virtuous son-in-law, it's free, hehe." Perhaps, this is the happiest moment in Gao Xianzhi's life.
What father doesn't want his daughter to find a good son-in-law? Where can I find a heroic son-in-law like Lee Chang-guk? Even if you can't find it with a lantern, you can find it for Gao Miaoli, can Gao Xianzhi not be happy? His whole body was full of joy, and his whole person was like a source of joy.
"Well, it's stronger, it's more heroic. It's even more handsome. Gao Xianzhi is more and more happy, where can a mouth be closed, eyebrows and eyes are a family.
The generals looked in their eyes, pursed their lips and smiled, rejoicing on their behalf.
"Gao Duhu, how can you thank me?" Bian Lingcheng touched Gao Xianzhi with his elbow, and joked with a smile: "If it weren't for me, how could you have a virtuous son-in-law like Dashuai?" ”
"I said, Overseer, how did this become your credit again? This is Miaoli, this girl has a good eye, and she has nothing to do with you. "Gao Xianzhi and Bian Lingcheng have worked together for many years, and their friendship is not bad, and they speak more casually.
"Gao Duhu, you have no conscience when you say this. You don't want to think about it, when I was in the southern expedition to Xiao Bolu, if I hadn't reminded you that the handsome hero is very good, but he can be recruited as a son-in-law, can you let the high girl go to Chang'an with the handsome? In your eyes, it's okay to fight, but pick a son-in-law, you are far behind, is this my credit? "Bian Lingcheng is unrelenting.
When Xiao Bolu was on the way to the south, Bian Lingcheng said this, Gao Xianzhi cracked his mouth and laughed back: "No matter how good your vision is, you don't have a daughter." ”
Bian Lingcheng is a eunuch, where did he come from, and his face couldn't help but turn pale. Gao Xianzhi reacted, his words were a little poisonous, uncovered Bian Lingcheng's scar, and hurriedly said: "I ask you to spare the wine, which can be regarded as making amends." ”
"You don't have to make amends, but you must ask for this wine. Not only me, but also the soldiers! "Bian Lingcheng is also open-minded and doesn't care.
"It's settled." Gao Xianzhi nodded heavily.
"Gao Duhu, when are you please?" The generals coaxed: "Such a good thing, you don't coax me." ”
"Now that the war is in full swing, it's not the time to drink, but when the war is over, please please." Gao Xianzhi was very happy.
"That's it. No repentance. The generals admonished.
The generals followed Li Changguo into the Shuaifu, Li Changguo sat in the center of the main seat, and Gao Xianzhi sat sideways to accompany him. This was originally Gao Xianzhi's position, and now Li Changguo's military power is greater than him, and his official rank is also higher than him, so of course Li Shiguo will sit in this main position. This is a military aircraft discussion, and it is an official matter, and it must be done in accordance with the rules.
"Marshal, the results of the battle have been roughly counted." Li Mi and Du Fu came in with a military newspaper and saluted Li Changguo.
Li Miyu reported the results of this battle: "More than 21,000 dogs were killed, 7,000 were wounded, and more than 3,000 horses were captured. And we lost tens of thousands of dead and 6,000 wounded, and more than 100,000 horses. ”
Li Changguo nodded and said, "In this battle, our biggest loss is the war horse, which General Guo used to fill the trench. Although the losses are greater, it is worth it, General Guo came in time, and we repelled Abu? Muslims, stand firm. ”
This price is worth paying, if Guo Ziyi hadn't come in time, Li Changguo would have died more. In comparison, people are still important, and although war horses are also important, they are far from being compared with people. Besides, at present, because of the conscription of the Turks to participate in the war, the Tang army has a lot of war horses, which is enough for the Tang army, and the loss of 100,000 horses is nothing.
"Dashuai, what are we going to do next?" A general asked.
These words are exactly what the generals are thinking, and they all look at Li Changguo and prick up their ears to listen.
"I mean, let's recharge our batteries." Lee Chang-kook replied loudly.
"Agreed." Li Mi, Gao Xian, and Guo Ziyi echoed in unison.
