"Lord Duhu, the sons killed twenty-three black-clothed tanma and drove them away, but unfortunately they couldn't catch them alive. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Don't rush Duan Xiushi to Gao Xianzhi and report.

"Haha, cannibal can't wait for a decisive battle with us?" Bian Lingcheng, the superintendent of the army, followed Gao Xianzhi to fight many times, and was convinced of the strength of the Tang army, and in his opinion, this war would add another merit to himself, and perhaps he would be able to return to Chang'an soon and enjoy life in that dreamy city.

"These big cannibals aren't afraid of death, probably the elite of Posilin's men, right? How many miles is there from Talas today? Gao Xianzhi's face was silent, but he was guessing in his heart what method the big cannibal would use against him.

"In less than fifteen miles, our exploration horses can already see the towers of Talas City, but unfortunately they are blocked by the great cannibal exploration horses, and they can't detect the news that is closer." Duan Xiushi replied, fifteen miles away, if the Tang army sprinted at full speed, that is, in a matter of moments, then whether to attack immediately or find another way still needs Gao Xianzhi to decide.

"Pass the order!" At this time, Gao Xianzhi had already made a decision, he raised his voice, and the left and right heralds immediately listened attentively, for fear of missing a word, "The whole army stopped advancing, began to rest in place, and prepared to guard against the attack of the big cannibals." ”

"Yes, Lord Tsugo." After receiving the order, the herald immediately rushed to the generals to convey the military orders, and Duan Xiushi also left to arrange the soldiers and horses under his command, but the overseer Bian Lingcheng was still puzzled.

"Gao Duhu, since it is only more than ten miles away from Talas City, why don't you attack at full speed and catch the enemy by surprise? Instead, you have to stop and rest? Bian Lingcheng asked suspiciously, while Cen Shen on the side was smiling, as if he had already understood Gao Xianzhi's intentions in his heart.

Although he had long been tired of this money-hungry and incompetent eunuch, considering the identity of the other party, Gao Xianzhi still patiently explained, "Since the Great Cannibal Tanma has been discovered here, then Talas City must be ready, even if our army accelerates its attack, it will not find too good an opportunity." Moreover, our army's long-distance march is now a little tired, and if we attack rashly, we may be attacked by the big cannibals, so it is better to rest in place first, and wait for the horses to recover their strength before moving forward. ”

"Well, what if the big cannibal takes the initiative to attack?" Bian Lingcheng had just figured out Gao Xianzhi's intentions, and he was worried about the enemy's attack, just as Gao Xianzhi said, now the Tang army was a little tired.

"Don't worry, Duan Xiushi has already released the Tanma ten miles away, even if the big cannibal attacks, it won't be able to hide from our ears and eyes, and the terrain here is slightly higher, which is conducive to defense, if the big cannibal attack, it will definitely not be good to go." Gao Xianzhi also saw this and ordered to rest on the spot.

"What's more, this place is still more than ten miles away from Talas City, and it will take physical strength for the big cannibals to attack from afar, and it will be us who will be waiting for work at that time." Cen Shen added in a timely manner that although he was born as a Jinshi, he had been by Gao Xianzhi's side for a long time, and he also had some experience in marching and fighting.

"Haha, Lord Duhu is really a last resort, I will win this battle!" Bian Lingcheng, who suddenly came to his senses, let out a shrill laugh again, and then turned over and dismounted and began to rest and eat under the service of the little eunuch, this long journey was not an easy thing for a eunuch like him.

The military order was quickly conveyed to each team, and the soldiers began to rest in place under the command of the general, taking out the dry food and starting to eat the water in the water bladder, but even at this time, their weapons were still within reach, and as soon as the general of the leading army gave the order, they would immediately pick up their weapons and start fighting.

Li You stood on horseback and looked in the direction of Talas City, now that the big war is about to begin, I don't know when the Qarluq people will turn against him?

He was also thinking about this problem, and now he was in front and behind the Tang Army, and if there was a slight change, he would be caught in the middle of the attack, so he had to continue to be patient and find the right opportunity.

Houmed on the wall of Talas waited for more than an hour, but still did not wait for the news from the horses, which made him a little anxious, and the soldiers of the black-nosed Tu Qishi, Kang and many of the client states of the Mi country under the city were already impatient at this time, and it was not easy for anyone to stand in the scorching sun for so long.

"The order goes down, the whole army marches, and today we must rush to the city of Talas." Gao Xianzhi estimated that the army had almost rested, got up and issued an order, and then this torrent of steel continued to move forward.

Is the war about to begin? The soldiers of Datang clenched the weapons in their hands one after another, preparing to meet the upcoming challenge, and resting in time allowed them to recover their strength, and they looked extremely energetic at this time.

On the other hand, the Great Food Coalition under the city of Talas was already tired at this time, and the soldiers wiped the sweat from their foreheads and licked their lips from time to time to quench their thirst; Among the servants who had more scattered military discipline, some even untied their armor and fanned the wind desperately, picked up the water bladder on their waists and poured it.

"General, do you want to let these soldiers rest first?" Hou Meide's lieutenant asked tentatively, after waiting for a long time, the Tang army has not appeared, and in his opinion, today's battle may not be successful.

Humet looked to the east, but still didn't see the smoke and dust kicked by the Tanma, so he nodded and agreed to his request, "Then let them rest and drink in place, and don't mess up the formation." ”

The elite troops in black were still able to obey his orders and silently take out the water bladders to drink, while the armies of the client states did not have such good discipline, and the formation suddenly became scattered, and some even tried to run to the nearby Talas River to use the water to drive away the scorching heat.

Their behavior was immediately punished severely, and the black-clad military judge immediately galloped out and killed the soldiers at the front and took off their heads to show them to the public. But the grumbling in the servant army is getting louder and louder, and anyone who waits under the sun for two hours will not be in a good mood.

Just as they were asking the generals to return to the camp to rest, the black-clothed Tanma panted and rushed through the military formation and came to Humet, "General, the Tang army is coming!" ”

Houmaid sighed in his heart, although he had not heard the words of one blow and then three times of exhaustion, but he also understood a similar truth, can the coalition army that has now been drained of its sharpness be the opponent of the Tang army? In the first wave of confrontation with Gao Xianzhi, he had already lost the upper hand. (To be continued.) )
