Chapter 265: Infiltrating Talus
Hehe, Zhang Fan's head is a little big! In Gao Xianzhi's military tent, he boasted about Haikou and gave himself 3,000 elite soldiers, how to do it, now it seems that it feels a bit child's play.
There is also the question, what if Apdu did not deceive the opening of the city gate?
Honzo said at this time that he could sneak into the castle, but he wondered if Talas Castle was the same as the ancient castle in Japan. In Iga, he was also trained to infiltrate enemy cities and wreak havoc. But I'm afraid he alone won't play a big role. They can't open the gates, they can't take down the heads of the enemy.
Green Wing volunteered to sneak in with Honzo to see if he could have a chance to open the city gates, after all, Green Wing had more than twenty times the liliang of ordinary people.
Akon thought about it, but nodded, if it didn't go well, he could only try like this. Just take care of them not to come hard, see that the situation is unfavorable, and slip away early, after all, life is still important. And if it can't be attacked this time, the next time a large army comes to attack the city, and then find a way to cooperate with the outside, it may also be successful.
However, if Gao Xianzhi's subordinates can have sergeants who are good at concealing disguises and sneak into the city in advance, then this problem can be solved. It's just that the current Talas City, the inventory should already be very tight!
Seeing that everyone understood the basic situation of the Battle of Talas, Akon asked everyone to rest, and each of them went back to ponder and think of a way. The group dispersed and rested without mentioning it.
Three days later, General Gao Xianzhi summoned Zhang Fan and others to discuss the matter with the Chinese army.
Zhang Fan Aken's strategy was indeed passed, and Gao Xianzhi, who was good at using soldiers, further refined the combat process. Among them, the troops who went to the city in disguise were commanded by the deputy general Li Siye, which shows that Gao Xianzhi attaches great importance to this operation! That Li Siye is his vanguard in attacking cities and plundering land!
Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that Gao Xianzhi also saw that he did not have the talent to command the army.
Moreover, Gao Xianzhi also allocated 3,000 Bahanna soldiers to cooperate with Li Siye's troops. The Bahanna tribe was called Dawan in ancient times, and they were very loyal to the Tang Dynasty. It is often invaded by the Great Food Country, and has been fighting against the Big Food Country for a long time. Therefore, their elite soldiers have the same armor as the Great Food Country, and their appearance is the same as the local Hu troops recruited by the Great Food Country, which can be quite fake.
Li Siye led 1,000 Mo sword soldiers in his headquarters, 1,000 light infantry with bows and crossbows, and allocated 500 cavalry to respond.
Ordinary soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are equipped with bows and arrows, with arrows 30, and crossbow light infantry is equipped with a bow and arrows 30. On his back he carried a larger arrow, loaded with 100 arrows, a crossbow, and a spear. Because after taking the city of Talas, it is necessary to defend the city, so that a thousand crossbowmen are equivalent to carrying 130,000 arrows, which is enough to repel all possible attacks!
In addition, Duan Xiushi, another general, led 3,000 cavalry from his headquarters, as well as 1,000 elite cavalry selected from the Qarlu troops, and 1,000 light cavalry of Bahanna, and then responded and maneuvered to attack the troops of the Great Food Country who dared to come to support.
Bahan's cavalry is not weaker than the Arab cavalry of the Great Food Country, because Dawan also produces good horses, that is Dawan horses! The horse is a mountain horse breed, resistant to fatigue, and has hard hooves. Among them, there is the most haode horse, it is said that it can run five or six hundred kilometers a day, and the sweat that flows out is like blood, which is the famous sweat and blood horse, which is the national treasure of the Bahanna tribe!
It is said that the emperor of the Han Dynasty once exchanged a horse made of gold for a bloody horse, but he didn't get it!
This 5,000-strong cavalry unit will be dispatched two days after Li Siye's departure.
Zuihou was Gao Xianzhi's main force, and the 15,000 Tang army with the two tribal troops of Gelulu and Bahan, as well as all the baggage, still arrived at the battlefield at the original speed.
Zhang Fan Akon also reported the plan they had discussed to Gao Xianzhi, and said that he had let Green Wing and Honzo bring shrewd and strong people who were good at lurking and camouflage, and ambushed them in Talas City in advance to make a response.
Gao Xianzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Zhang Fan still had such capable people, so he said: "I have made detailed arrangements for Talas City, but the number is very small, after you enter, you will face the code and show my general order, and they will help you." I will arrange for you some more clever and brave sergeants on my side, and I will obey your arrangement. ”
Everyone got the military order, but Aken asked to act with Duan Xiushi's cavalry team, and he didn't know what it meant. Zhang Fan Luyi and Apdu and other vow-holders were surprised, what kind of jihua did this guy have? A smart person like him, whether he goes to the city of fraud or lurks in the city, can play a big role, but for some reason he stays behind?
Gao Xianzhi didn't care about this detail, it was a promise.
The two Ring Bearers have been given a new hidden mission: thanks to your suggestion, Gao Xianzhi has decided to send a surprise army led by Li Siye to disguise themselves as the army of the Great Food Nation and defraud Talas City! and let Duan Xiushi lead the cavalry to respond in the rear.
'Capture Talas City': Cooperate with the Tang Army to capture Talas City within 10 days, and get 5,000 merit points and 50 bonus points for victory, and 2,000 merit points for each person for failure.
Green Wing and Honzo also get an additional quest:
'Infiltrate Talas': Be sure to lead at least 50 Tang soldiers into Talas within 5 days. Successfully get 1000 merit points and 10 bonus points; For every additional 5 Tang soldiers entering the city, they will be rewarded with an additional 100 merit points and 1 bonus point; For each missing Tang soldier, 200 merit points will be deducted.
Everyone received the task and went to prepare without mentioning it.
This time to go to Talas City, according to the normal time, there is still a little more than half a month, and the time point is almost the best time to cheat the city. Because the Great Food Country must also know the goal and approximate arrival time of the Tang Army.
Therefore, it is very likely that a reinforcement army will be sent over at this time. The garrison in the city must also be unwanted, and the vigilance will be relatively low. And once the city is captured, it doesn't take long to defend the city, and the Tang army will be able to arrive later.
Gao Xianzhi allocated 100 lightly armed scouts from the pioneer battalion to the captain of Green Wing. These scouts are elite warriors who have been through a lot of battles, and many of them have experience in disguised battles. And most of them are natives of the Western Regions, and they are soldiers recruited locally by the Tang Dynasty.
Honzo taught them some basic 'falling city' techniques, and then Midoriwing's makeup and disguise technique worked. The crowd set out overnight, lightly armed and fast, and headed straight for the city of Talas.
They prepared to go to the vicinity, and then disguised themselves as merchants or farmers from various tribes in the Western Regions, and blended into the city. Zhang Fan handed over Willis to Green Wing, regardless of speed or firepower, this strange car can play a big role!
Zhang Fan and Apdu's team assembled and set off with Li Siye's troops in the evening. Most of the Tang sergeants had private horses, so the infantry was also able to maneuver like the cavalry.
The soldiers of Li Siye's troops are each equipped with two fast horses, riding in turn, maintaining horsepower, so that they can maintain a high-speed rapid marching posture, break away from the large army, walk day and night, hide the team, and go straight to Talas City!
Let's talk about Green Wing and Honzo, with Dark Sakura and Goblins, riding Willis, next to a hundred Tang Army fast horses, led by a sergeant who is familiar with the terrain and customs of the area from Shattered Leaf City to Talas City, and hurried day and night.
These sergeants were lightly armed, carrying only a horizontal knife as a weapon, and had no armor and equipment burden, so they were much faster. After two days of rapid marching, they reached the mountains near the city of Talas.
Green Wing let everyone rest for a long time, rested for a while, and discussed with a few experienced captains how to blend in. After all, there are 100 people, and when you go in, you look at it and look at it. Now it's a time of war again, and the investigation is very tight, and more than five people are traveling together, so you should keep an eye on it! You think, the five big men, all of them are warriors of a hundred battles, and they are all murderous, so they don't attract attention.
An old soldier thought for a moment and said, "Adult, the small ones have a way, they can go to a dozen in advance." ”
Green Wing hurriedly asked, "What's the solution, you can say it quickly." ”
"The little one used to raise horses and sell horses, and you see that our hundred war horses are all good horses! Running long distances, having stamina, and having a small mouth. And most of them are private horses, and there is no fire mark of the army. It's just that I've been in a hurry for the past two days and lost some fat, but tonight I'll eat some grass and rest, and I'll be very energetic tomorrow. I brought a dozen or so horse brothers, dressed as Tibetan horse dealers, and I will definitely be able to get in. "This veteran has an idea.
Green Wing smiled, "As long as you can get in, you can do anything." It's up to you, these horses are handed over to you, many of them are bought with the hard-earned money of the brothers, you have to sell them for a good price, but don't lose money! ”
"Haha, your Excellency, you can rest assured. We sell it to the soldiers of the Great Food Country, and take it back after the siege, haha! The old man was overjoyed, so he went to summon a few familiar sergeants and went to do his own thing.
Green Wing thought for a moment and said to everyone, "You all think of a way for me, as long as I can infiltrate Talas City, it will be a credit." I will definitely remember it for you, and ask General Gao for a reward. ”
At this time, each sergeant is you and me, and put forward their own methods.
A few of them wanted to haode, who had actually been monks before, and they decided to return to their old business, lost their hair, and dressed up as a few monks who came from Qiuzi, and hypothetically went to Tianzhu to seek the Dharma. This Talas City is indeed the only way for many monks in history to go to Tianzhu. This is also possible.
Green Wing asked everyone to hand over their weapons to her, and she didn't have as much experience as these experienced sergeants, but the ring space hid some weapons, but it solved the big problem of the sergeants.
Green Wing gave everyone a code so that they could contact each other after entering the city. The sergeants who went first should contact the Tang army brothers in Talas City as soon as possible, and ask them to find some ways to arrange these lurkers.
It's a pity that the ring space can't hold people, and Green Wing can't wait to put them all in the ring and bring them in. Bring it in to get merit points and bonus points!
Some of the sergeants dressed up as woodcutters, chopped some firewood, and prepared to pick it in. Some were ready to go on the road to see if there were any business trips in the past, and let them take them in. Some are pretending to be beggars.
