Li Siye involuntarily clapped his palms, and dozens of people behind him also high-fived and marveled, even Fumeng Lingcha and Bahana Khan Asilanda were also amazed by this.

"The sharpshooters in the Anxi army are doubled, and today I am waiting to open my eyes."

Li Siye set his sights on the scholar, this was the first time in his life that he judged people by their appearance, but as a person who was slapped in the face, he did not have any unhappiness, but had a strong interest in this person, and even coveted him, hoping to bring him to the eighth regiment, preferably by his side.

"What's your name? Which regiment now? What is your job? What did you do before? How many years have you been in Anzai? Do you have a family, wife and daughter? ”

The scholar felt a little strange, but he still replied respectfully: "Contemptible Duan Xiushi, the commander of the left brigade and the right team of the 6th Regiment of the 34th Zhichong Mansion in Dashicheng. This is a scholar in Ganzhou, and he has not been admitted to the Shishi several times, so he simply followed Ban Chao's pen and came to Anxi from Rong, and his parents were at home, and he had no wife and daughter. ”

Li Siye secretly rejoiced, fortunately, he was still just a small chief, and after the capture of Talas, he must dig Duan Xiushi to his side, no matter how much it costs.

Fumeng Lingcha ordered the wine jar to be brought out, and the wine bowls were handed out to the soldiers one by one, and the two soldiers held the wine jar and poured wine for everyone.

Li Siye held the wine bowl and said loudly to everyone: "After drinking this bowl of wine, life and death are put aside, there is only one goal, enter the city and take the city!" ”

When he had finished drinking, he returned the bowl to the soldiers. Far from Anxi, even black porcelain bowls were prized, and most of the soldiers used them as cutlery.

Fu Meng Lingcha asked Li Siye again: "In terms of armor and weapons, what other requirements do you need?" ”

There is absolutely no ambiguity in the case of such a dangerous battle, and the success rate is at the bottom, so of course we must be fully prepared. Li Siye immediately said: "Replace the horn bows in everyone's hands with crossbows, and all of them will carry horizontal knives, and they must not carry long weapons." There is no requirement for outer armor, as you have to dress up as a Turk to enter the city, but you must have inner armor, preferably the kind of chain mail that you wear close to your body. ”

The overseer judge who was following Fu Meng Lingcha snorted and said, "It's quite a lot of requests, where can I find you fifty sets of chain armor in the middle of the night?" ”

Chain mail is a chicken rib for the Tang Army, and it cannot protect against arrows or heavy weapons such as hammers when worn on the body. But the only advantage is that it can be worn inside, as long as a layer of cloth is put on the outside, the average person can't see it. But if you want to wear clothes on the surface of the scales and nails, that kind of bloat can't be fooled with fat.

Fu Meng Lingcha said: "The way to win is five talents and five cautions, one of the five cautions is to prepare, and those who prepare go out are like seeing enemies." It is appropriate to be cautious, but do we have this kind of chain mail that can be worn inside? ”

Khan Asilanda stepped forward, hugged his chest and said, "There may not be this kind of armor in the Tang army, but there is one among the warriors of my Bahanna. ”

Fu Meng was overjoyed and immediately said: "If this is the case, our army is willing to exchange armor for it." ”

Asiranda stretched out his hands and pushed and said: "Since we are allies, why should General Fumeng be polite, say anything that cannot be changed." ”

"That's right," Fu Meng Lingcha hurriedly changed his words: "Our army is willing to give the lord of the country fifty sets of armor to show the friendship between the two armies." ”

Asiranda Khan made a little inference, and then happily agreed, his heart is still beautiful, he can get a set of Tang armor, which has already made the princes of the Western Regions and other countries salivate, and now he has fifty armor, and he will not walk sideways in the Western Regions in the future.

The man quickly brought in chain mail, which was different in size and required everyone to try it on one by one, and although each person was of different size, it was vaguely about the same.

That night, Li Siye lived in the same tent with these fifty people, asked their names, sorted out their equipment, adjusted the crossbow and bowstring, and sharpened the horizontal knife with a gravel stone.

But one of them, not holding a horizontal knife in his hand, made two short spears in his hand and rubbed the tip of the spear from side to side on the stone.

Li Siye stood in front of him, put his hands behind his back, and said in a stern tone: "You are not allowed to carry long weapons on this trip, and you will all use horizontal knives and crossbows. ”

The sturdy man shook his head: "I'm not used to using a horizontal knife, and besides, my gun is not long."

Li Siye was just about to grab the gun from his hand, this person suddenly became vigilant, his arm muscles suddenly clenched the barrel of the gun, his legs leaned forward, like a leopard that was about to pounce on the hunt, Li Siye could feel his change in an instant, his hand still did not let go of the gun, and said calmly: "Let me see how long it is." ”

"It's exactly my height." The man said this, but handed the gun out of his left hand.

Li Siye stretched out his hand to stroke the barrel of the gun, I don't know what material it was made of, it felt very oily, warm and smooth in his hand, and the lines went straight down, it was simply a hand to make the pulp, presumably this person made the means of the double gun very good.

He handed the gun back and asked the man, "What's your name?" ”

The other party smiled stiffly: "My name is Bai Xiaode, and I am a Hu person." ”

This person's name sounds very familiar, Li Siye is not very clear about his life experience, but the other party is indeed a famous general who made meritorious contributions in the Anshi Rebellion, and once beheaded the Anshi rebel general Liu Longxian in the Battle of Heyang.

"If the gun is in your hands, you can continue to use the gun, just find a way to hide it."

Li Siye turned around and sat down at the edge of the tent, carefully sharpened his horizontal knife, wiped it with a fine silk cloth, and put it in the sheath beside him. He also adjusted the crossbow lookout mountain and the crossbow machine to a suitable angle. Then he rested his head on the quiver, covered it with a quilt, and soon let out a thunderous snoring sound.

The soldiers all turned their heads and looked at him with strange expressions, probably never seen such a big-hearted man. I heard that this kind of risky strategy was offered by him, and perhaps it was this kind of person who dared to come up with such a plan.

……

In the early morning of the second day, Li Siye went to visit his husband Meng Lingcha to discuss the signal of action. According to the course of action, they besieged the grass harvesting team sent out from the city of Talas, and then disguised themselves as Turgish soldiers, hid their weapons in grass carts, and hid in the city for the night.

Fumeng led the army to the city of Talas tomorrow, pretending to attack the city during the day, and waiting for the night to lie dormant, and when three arrows were fired in the city, he led the troops to attack the city gate, and waited until Li Siye led people to open the city gate, and then entered the city smoothly.

The process is quite simple, but I don't know what will happen along the way, and I can only respond to it on the fly.

He solemnly took the ringing hammer from the hand of Fumeng Lingcha, and after saluting with his crossed hands, he inserted the ringing hammer into the quiver, turned on his horse and led more than fifty horsemen out of the city.

In order to ensure the success of the first move, Fumeng Lingcha sent 500 horsemen, far behind Li Siye as reinforcements.

They quickly galloped ten miles away from Talas, abandoning horses, a means of transportation that were too large to be targeted, and squatted down and alternated along the shrubs of the hills and hills, avoiding the detection of the patrol scouts of the black Turks.

According to yesterday's scout's report, the black surnamed Tuqi Shi already knew that the army had been marched to Julan City, so Li Siye had to be cautious.

Talas was already in view, and the city was on top of a hill with slopes on all sides, so it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The tall grass on the hillside around the city had been cut clean by the defenders of the city, and the mowing team had already cut the grass on the hillside six or seven miles away, but it was still in sight of the head of Talas.
