Chapter 638: Provoking the Western Regions Alliance

After arguing for a night, these people did not discuss the reason, and General Kang Ying didn't count on them, so he hurriedly sent someone back to deliver the letter, but the northwest is too vast, even if it is the fastest speed, it will take nearly ten days to go back and forth, and this must be that there is nothing on the road, in case there is a blockade, it is difficult to say where your letter will be delivered.

The Tang army did not give them time to wait, and on the fifth day after their discussion, the first Tang army left the border, and Niu Jinda carried out Li Xiang's instructions and dispatched nearly 2,000 people.

He searched for several days, but he didn't find the weakness of the Western Regions Alliance, so he sent our people over to provoke, as long as the people of the Western Regions Alliance Army were not satisfied, then we immediately began to attack them, anyway, we carried a large number of firearms, if the people of the Western Regions Alliance Army wanted to taste it, we could arrange it for them.

Niu Jinda wants to put on a show for them, don't look at the fact that there are more than 100,000 of you, we only have 2,000 people, but our 2,000 people are not afraid of you, if we really fight, our 2,000 people may not be able to win.

Li Xiang really admired Niu Jinda's courage, but Li Xiang was still ready, once the reserve team sent a signal for help from Niu Jinda, the people on our side would immediately go out to respond, and 5,000 people would definitely be no problem.

Li Xiang is not very old, but he is also an old man on the battlefield, he has already summarized the data of various battlefields, and against these armies with cold weapons, we can completely achieve one to ten, if our number exceeds five thousand, then we can achieve one to twelve to one to fifteen.

Although there are more than 100,000 people in the Western Regions Alliance, they belong to more than a dozen countries, and each country is not subordinate to each other at all, so they will not cooperate with each other.

Lord Zhao made it very clear to Li Xiang that the countries of the Western Regions are now afraid of us as tigers, even if we have any excessive demands, the countries of the Western Regions may agree to it, and Niu Jinda wants to provoke this conflict, I am afraid it is really not so easy.

But Li Xiang believes in Niu Jinda's military ability, we just need to wait near the border, and Niu Jinda will be able to send someone to report in a few days.

Of course, Niu Jinda is confident, and all the people under his command are equipped with a chain of strong crossbows, which can be fired at a distance of sixty meters, and there are ten arrows on top of it with extremely strong penetrating power.

In addition to that, there are twenty crossbow arrows, and the wagons are loaded with all kinds of shells, which can be used to fight two thousand meters away, and if anyone really attacks, we can even run and fight.

The modified crossbow bolts can already be fixed on the wagon, and when the wagon retreats to the rear, we can continue to fire shells.

With such a mobile battle, even if the other side dispatches tens of thousands of troops and cattle to arrive, they can take them around the wasteland in circles, if they appear in front of us, with the chain crossbow in our hands, can't we kill a bloody road?

After the war is over, they will understand as soon as they look at the war losses, you can't help 2,000 people, but my Datang has hundreds of thousands of troops, and you won't surrender when the time comes?

After Niu Jinda left the border pass, spies from the Western Regions coalition army continued to appear around, they followed the army from a distance, they had already remembered the above requirements, and they must not get too close, if they were discovered, they would say that they were herdsmen from the countries of the Western Regions.

"How the hell do you usually investigate? Didn't you say that this place has their barracks? Why is there nothing now? ”

After a day's work, he finally went a hundred miles deep into the enemy's territory, originally there was a military camp in this place, the number of people was not very large, about two thousand or so, Niu Jinda's primary goal was to choose here, but when he came to the front of this military camp, it was already empty, except for the pillars that were also laid here, there was no sign at all to show that this was a military camp.

"This is really strange, I came here in person half a month ago, this is indeed a military camp, there should be two or three thousand people in it, and they are also practicing riding and archery outside, how come there is no one after only a few days?"

A small general under his command said depressedly, this guy is responsible for the reconnaissance work in this area, and several groups of people under him have come, this is also the first military camp after leaving the border, and it can be regarded as the vanguard of the Western Regions Alliance, but now even the vanguard has disappeared?

"Report to the general, we found some remnants in the barracks, most of which are their stored materials, all buried underground, and they can still be used now."

Just when the young general was depressed, the reconnaissance soldiers had already searched inside, because the wind and sand in the Western Regions were relatively large, so many things would be buried in the ground, and they searched after they went in, and found that this army was too hasty when it retreated, and many things were not taken away.

"Isn't it just some broken cabbage? This kind of thing has a fart. ”

One of the generals looked at what had been brought up, his eyes full of disdain.

"You know a fart, this kind of thing is not a valuable thing in our place, but it is very valuable here, they have cheap beef and mutton here, but this vegetable is the most expensive, and they didn't even take this kind of thing away, it is conceivable that they should have retreated in a hurry, and the horse raised a sounding balloon."

Niu Jinda gave an order, and a balloon instantly carried a man up, and they placed a special device on the carriage, and the two carriages together just loaded the balloon inside, and the surrounding area was nailed to the carport with wood, and when it was time to rise, a light soldier was hung up, and he could get up immediately.

Compared with Li Xiang's weapons on the Tuyuhun grassland back then, I don't know how many steps have improved now, so the soldiers are also handy, and their combat effectiveness is much stronger than at that time.

For example, some soldiers today have even developed salvo tactics.

Dozens of soldiers line up in a row and shoot the enemy with a chain of crossbows, and only fire arrows when the officer gives the order, which is to kill the largest number of people in a unit time, causing a huge psychological shock to the enemy, causing them to fear, and finally making them flee backwards.
