The generals burst out with pride, and only Guo Shiyong said: "But I see these three places, where there is oil and water, it is not easy to fight, but there is no oil and water in the easy places." ”

He didn't say any more, but Zhang Mai had vaguely guessed his thoughts, knowing that he was a very cautious person and didn't want to fight a battle that he was not sure of. This veteran is this kind of character.

But if you don't start here, where can you start? Liu An said that Julan City turned over the Julan Mountains to the east, but there was also a Jierji, but it only had a population of two or three thousand, and there was no oil and water like Ba Ersi, and according to the news that Liu An got, although the Anji was small, it was easier to defend and difficult to attack than Ba Ersi.

Further east, there is a settlement where there is oil and water and is a necessary place to return to the east, but there is one - Barasagon where the nest of the Hui people is located, but is that what the Anxi Tang army can provoke now?

Further south, in the Hezhong region, there are dozens of prosperous settled towns, which are agricultural irrigation areas and commercial towns, and they have money and grain and will not run, but these dozens of towns are all behind the line of Talas, Jaelsi, and Kulan City, where the Samanid Dynasty has arranged a line of defense against the Hui, and without a complete breakthrough of this line of defense, the situation in the future cannot be opened.

Where there is oil and water, it is difficult to fight, where there is no oil and water, and even if there is no oil and water, it is necessary to take a certain risk to attack - once the reinforcements from Talas and Kulan City arrive to encircle and the Tang army has not yet captured this small city, the Tang guerrilla army will face the crisis of being dumpled.

"But we still have to fight, and we must find a breakthrough no matter what, so that we can get the money and food to make ends meet, and get the information to move on!"

Yang Yi didn't think about it, so he asked, "Brother Mai, where to fight?" ”

"Jaw Thoughts!" Zhang Mai said: "Take it down in one fell swoop, knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and look at the reaction of Talas and Julan City, you should be able to judge the reality of these two cities." If the enemy is strong, let's leave with one blow and retreat immediately, and if the enemy has a gap, we can take it......"

Yang Yi shouted: "Then let's take Talas and Kulan City in one fell swoop!" ”

From the intelligence brought by Liu An, Zhang Mai learned that in terms of strategic location, Jaw Ersi is not as good as Talas, and in terms of the wealth of residents and the size of the town, it is not as good as Julan City, but the water source near Ja Ersi is quite abundant, and the forage is quite abundant, and over time it will naturally become a settlement, so he judges: The gains and losses of Ja Ersi will not have much impact on the national politics and border defense of the Hui people.

"As for Talas, this place has been an important stronghold for the Uighurs to attack and defend against the Samanid Dynasty since ancient times, that is to say, when the Talas guard heard that something was wrong with his jaw, he first thought: What happened there? Just a bunch of petty thieves? Or where did the rebellion come from? Or an attack by a nomadic tribe in the north? Or a horse thief from the desert? Or the Samanid people? If it was a Samanid man, was the attack on Jass just a suspicious soldier? Is it to lure me out of the city? Could it be that a heavy army has been placed outside the city of Talus, and as soon as the defenders of Talus leave, they will attack Talus? So if I'm a guard of Talas, I'll have to think about it first, and send a scout to find out, and the scout will come and go back and forth......"

Yang Yi smiled: "It's just four or five more days!" ”

Guo Shiyong was more cautious and said, "But in case the guards of Talas hear the news, they will immediately send reinforcements......

Of course, it's also possible.

"And how many reinforcements will he send?" Zhang Mai asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

"We don't know how many troops there are on the other side of Talas, but considering the overall strength of the Uighurs, the deployment of Talas troops must be ranked behind Barasagon, and the other two border defense points - Shule in the southeast and the Ili River valley in the east are only between Bozhong at most, even if we don't take into account that Bogra Khan may have drawn some troops, I think the upper limit of the strength of this city should be at most twenty or thirty thousand people."

Liu An said: "At most, this is the number!" In my judgment, I'm afraid not yet. ”

His judgment was based on the size of the city and market of Talas. How many garrisons in a city is a military secret, but the army also needs to live, although a small city can squeeze out 100,000 troops in a special period, but it is impossible to maintain an overload for a long time in the daily garrison, Liu An is old-looking, experienced, even if he can't inquire about in-depth information, but he can also infer the upper limit of the daily garrison of Talas through various details such as the city wall, farmland, warehouse occupation and market activity.

Zhang Mai said: "Let's take Talas there are 20,000 soldiers and horses, if the chin is alert, do you think they have a good chance of coming out?" ”

"That can't be." Liu An said.

Tyros is much more important than jaw thoughts.

"So will the main force be sent?"

"This ...... I'm afraid it won't. An Shoujing said.

"That's right!" Zhang Mai said: "So even if the Talas side sends reinforcements, we may not lose, even if we can't win, we have a great chance of escaping, and the time for us to attack Baersi will not be so hasty." If you follow the rules, after capturing Ba Ersi, you can still come to a siege point to help. ”

Yang Yi suddenly said: "I still have an idea. Maybe it can make the guards of Talas and the people of Kulan City even more simple and confused. Buy us more time to conquer Baers. ”

After the discussion was completed, Guo Shidao ordered on the same day to dispatch the four battalions of Longxiang, Yingyang, Xiaocai, and Baotao, and attack the Ba'er Si, and the three battalions of Zhenwu, Guangwu, and Xingwu were the backup troops, and the Feixiong battalion stayed behind to guard the Dengxia Valley.

"If the jaw is anxious to go south, he will disguise himself as a desert horse thief. If the blow is broken, the Prison Camera will take action. ”

This was the strategic tone set by the Metropolitan Protector Tent Meeting.

On the second day, the four battalions set off from the camp, and on the day of departure, Zhang Mai saw Guo Fen seeing off in the future, and he was quite disappointed.

The Eagle Yang Battalion took the lead and caught a few herdsmen on the way, but Yang Yi divided them into two groups, and then said to Zhang Mai: "Brother Mai, let's use these herdsmen to put some false news." Fiction is real, reality is fiction, we want to beat Baersi, but we put fake news that we are going to fight Julan City, how about it? ”

Zhang Mai said: "Okay, although I don't know what the strength of the jaw is si, but if we can direct the enemy's attention to Kulan City, it will always be able to reduce our pressure." ”

On this day, when they went astray, one of the herdsmen who was captured by the Tang army suddenly found that the guard was a little loose, so he and the people around him fled in the night, and walked outside a big tent, and suddenly a team of night patrols appeared, so frightened that they quickly shrank by the tent, and suddenly heard someone in the tent say in Huifu: "How to go on the road to Kulan City?" ”

Then one of the herdsmen found out that it was his companion who had been captured with them, and after listening to the prisoners in the tent, he laughed and said, "Haha, that's good." There is so much money, grain, cattle and horses in Kulan City, after the fight is down, it will be enough for us to eat for half a year. ”

The two herdsmen were taken aback: "This gang of robbers is going to attack the idea of Kulan City!" ”

Then I listened to what another person said in another language, but I couldn't understand it, but I faintly heard one person say in Huifu: "Tomorrow I will kill all these herdsmen!" ”

The two herdsmen were even more horrified.

At this time, the night patrol had gone far, and one of the herdsmen knocked his companion with his elbow, and the two fled in the night, and after leaving the camp, they did not know the direction, and when they saw the road, they walked away, and after walking far, they suddenly heard someone behind them shouting: "A prisoner has escaped!" "Team Zheng Xi Sheng brought people over.

The two herdsmen secretly complained, so they had to flee for their lives, and were driven to the west by Xi Sheng, running farther and farther, but they couldn't get rid of the pursuers anyway, fortunately, the dozen or so cavalry behind them have not caught up, so they chased and fled, and they actually reached the vicinity of Talas, and the cavalry gradually moved away. When the two herdsmen saw the city of Talas, they raised their heads and exclaimed, "Now you can be saved." ”

An arrow hit one of the herdsmen in the thigh, and the other herdsman abandoned his companion and ran desperately towards the sentry position, shouting as he ran: "Help! Help me! There's a giant coward! ”

There was a scout horse galloping out of the sentry post, Xi Sheng didn't wait for the other party to approach, he had already led nine subordinates to retreat and dodge, and the deputy team was Zhang Daniu and asked, "Do you want to go back now?" ”

Xi Sheng said: "You take two people back to report, and I will monitor here." ”

Zhang Daniu received the order, but he didn't follow the same path, but came straight to his chin.

This qiē was naturally Yang Yi's strategy, he cooperated with Zhang Mai, and deliberately let go of two groups of prisoners, one to Talas and the other to Kulan City, asking them to convey false news, both saying that there was a group of giants who wanted to loot Julan City, not only to see how the Hui people reacted, but also to hope that the Hui people could temporarily focus their attention on Kulan City.

Although the Tang army has won three big victories in a row, but the Broken Leaf Burning City is a defensive counterattack battle, the containment of Dan is a night attack on the military camp, and the battle of Yibohai is actually not a fortification, it can be said that the Tang Army has attacked the city for the first time, although it is only facing a small place like Ja Ersi, everyone is actually worried in their hearts, and they just tried their best to reduce the resistance during the siege.

After the two groups of captives had escaped, the four battalions of rangers set out overnight and took down the jaws.

Along the way, Zhang Mai was worried and excited, and he kept asking Liu An for advice on the tactics of attacking the city. Guo Shidao's collection of "Fenyang Military Classics" he has not had the opportunity to read well, in the past few months he has been constantly learning in actual combat, the generals of the Tang Army who are good at what, he will learn from whom.
