"We can be regarded as fighting against the fierce rival in the mouth of His Highness."

Li Chengyi also came back from near the battlefield, and after General Mo Lun returned, he took people out to check it out.

"Did you find anything?"

In addition to inspecting the scene, there were also two captured people, and this General Li also let his subordinates interrogate for a long time, which may be rewarding.

"These people are all ordinary soldiers, and they don't know many secrets, but within a few hundred miles of our west, their army is not a few, and according to the speech of their general, the purpose of these people is not in the Western Regions, but in Chang'an, further east."

When General Li finished saying this, General Morun next to him was also dumbfounded, this Arab empire is really bold, I originally thought that I wanted to make some benefits in the Western Regions, but I didn't expect that people didn't look down on this place at all, and people fancy Chang'an in the East.

"Are they crazy? How could they possibly have so much power? Even Chang'an wants to step on it? ”

General Mo Lun has seen the strength of the Tang Dynasty, in his eyes, no matter how powerful you are, it is impossible for the opponent of the Tang Dynasty army to travel from the Western Regions to Chang'an, this road is too far, I don't know how many Tang Dynasty troops are stationed, if you want to fight from the Western Regions, the million army is no play.

"The so-called ignorant and fearless, may be talking about these people, they should not have encountered many difficulties in the process of expansion, so they regard themselves as an invincible army, but it is a pity that they will suffer a loss here in my Datang, and our shelling just now can be regarded as a wake-up call for them, let them know that my Datang army is different from others."

General Li said very proudly that his soldiers are becoming more and more elite, and the first round of attacks can reach a hit rate of 70 percent, if it were not for the usual practice, it would not have been possible to reach this number, compared with the first generation of artillery, I don't know how much more advanced than at that time.

Of course, there is nothing to be satisfied with, you must know that there are several people like them around Chang'an City, and the mountains around the training camp are about to be blown up by them, if there is no money allocated by His Royal Highness, plus a large amount of gunpowder shipped, even if they have this training enthusiasm, I am afraid there is not enough gunpowder.

"These people are ambitious, and at the same time their strength is not weak, I think we still can't be stationed here, tomorrow we will start to move west, visit all the cities in the West, as long as there are traces of them, then kill them all, kill everything they left here, there may be a big war in the future, but before that big war comes, we can't let them take any advantage, in this year or so, they have taken a lot of advantage."

General Morun thought about it and said, the strength of these people is not weak, if they can meet the main force of the Arab Empire in advance, then they also have the strength of a war, if they wait for the Tang army in the rear to come, then they will have no chance at all.

"General, I understand what you think, I am also here to make meritorious contributions, and I am far from crossing the Green Ridge, this is our sphere of influence, didn't General Cheng order it when we came? As long as we don't get to Samarkand, it's all around us. ”

Li Chengyi said with a smile, this guy is also a young general, and with the end of the battle just now, they also know that these black demons are also human, and they are not so evil at all, if they really encounter them on the battlefield, they don't know who eats whom.

"Then after I finish writing this letter, hurry up and send it back to the people of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and we will set off at sunrise tomorrow."

General Morun is also full of energy, he didn't know the reality of these people before, so he didn't dare to make too risky moves, in case he failed to harvest, he personally couldn't bear this responsibility, after all, this was a collision between the two empires.

But now after this skirmish, they found that the enemy is not so powerful, and it is similar to what we have encountered before, so they are full of confidence in their hearts, as long as our weapons and equipment are enough, and we do not exceed the prescribed range, then we dare to do anything.

Of course, it is one thing to have courage, but you must also be prepared, in addition to reporting the intelligence here, you also have to ask for a large amount of gunpowder with the Metropolitan Protectorate, and as many resources as you can, they have more than 40,000 troops in the entire Green Ridge area.

It's all said by those captives, it's hard to say whether it's true or not, we have to prepare first, according to the ratio of them to the Gaochang soldiers.

The next day, when the sun had just risen, General Moren set out with his men, and the letter he had written had been sent the previous evening, and four carrier pigeons and two soldiers were running quickly towards the Metropolitan Palace.

The scouts in the army are going out immediately, and this is already in the war zone, so we can't move so fast, we have to understand the surrounding situation before we can continue to advance.

After yesterday's battle, we also know how terrible the cavalry of the Arab Empire is, if they don't scout around, if they are given the opportunity, they can rush up with a bag of cigarettes.

These are the ones who will find your weaknesses the most, and will never go toe-to-toe with your hoplites, they will only attack the weakness of the ranks.

"General, I have an idea, or let's trap them?"

After walking for almost two days, except for the rebel army in the Western Regions, no one from the Arab Empire was found, did they all run away? This is absolutely impossible, through yesterday's interrogation, we also know that they are determined to win Chang'an City, if they die and run away, this is not a big empire at all.

"You want to lure the snake out of the hole?"

To tell the truth, there was no news for two consecutive days, and General Morun was also a little depressed, thinking that the soldiers of the Arab Empire were all eager to fight like us, but unfortunately we didn't find anything at all.

"I guess they're around us, but seeing that we're well defended, it's no good at all, so they're hiding, and we can make the cavalry go faster and the baggage convoy go slower, and give them a chance......"

Li Chengyi said with bad intentions, you have to create opportunities for others......
