Chapter 1322: Dispatch troops in large proportions
"The end will be."
Hearing Li Chengyi's shout, a guy called out unnaturally, and quickly ran in front of Li Chengyi, and now the whole city is under Li Chengyi's control, he is like the emperor here.
"You listen to me, the order of the Tang Dynasty, your city must send 3,000 troops to follow our army to the Western Regions, and bring your own dry food, and organize a supply team of 1,500 people to regularly deliver supplies to the front line, if you can't do it, then your people will starve on the front line."
After listening to Li Chengyi's words, these people present were dumbfounded, their city was less than 30,000 people in total, and now they had to send 1/10 of the troops, and there was also a transport team, if this was the case, it would mean that all the adult men in the city would serve this war.
"General Shangguo, we really don't have such ability, the last time we fought in the Western Regions, we had already lost 2,000 young adults, now you look at our ...... in the city"
When this guy wanted to continue, Li Chengyi had already put his hand on the hilt of the knife, so he didn't dare to say what this guy said later, if he angered this general, I'm afraid he wouldn't have any good fruit to eat.
"What the hell is going on, some of you know better than I know why other cities send half as many troops as you? Not even 1/3 of yours, that's because people usually keep their duty, what did you do in this city, that is, your internal people themselves know, and I also want to tell you, if this time tomorrow, I don't see the army slaughtering the city like the army. ”
Li Chengyi pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife If someone dares to resist, then don't blame us for being rude to you, your country has already betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and now you people are also cannon fodder on the battlefield, then let the people of the Arab Empire remove these branches and leaves for the Tang Dynasty.
Li Xiang's order is much more cruel than this, and the reason why he did this is to let the countries of the Western Regions see clearly, and follow the Tang Dynasty honestly, then your clan will have no problem, but if you have other ideas in your heart, then don't blame us for being cruel to you.
Although many people in the city have other ideas, if they follow Datang's orders, this will almost put the young adults in our entire city into it, so some people are ready to escape at night.
As a result, before he ran out a few miles at night, he was captured by the army of the Tang Dynasty, and the rules had been set earlier, you people did not follow the rules, so no one else was to blame, so when you people were caught, not only would you be dragged to death by war horses, including your family, no one would want to live.
If such strict ruling measures are not carried out in this part of the Western Regions, then when the tentacles of the Arab Empire reach in again, these people will act for the tiger and become the lackeys of the Arab Empire, and they will become pawns attacking the Tang Dynasty.
At noon on the second day, the soldiers in the city were organized, and the whole city had a total of 3,000 soldiers, including a group over 40 years old, but it didn't matter, if you were to be exterminated, blame your dead king.
Many people say that the common people are innocent, as long as the king is disposed of, but Li Xiang and many Tang officials did not think so, did the king hide this from all the people? That means that these common people are also in the know, and since they felt that the king did the right thing at that time, then you should also pay the price.
Everybody has to pay for their mistakes, instead of crying and hoping that others will forget about it, there is no such good thing in the world, so now is the time for you to atone for your sins.
All the common people stood in the adobe outside the city, watching the men in their families leave with tears in their eyes, and now they hate two groups of people in their hearts, one is the previous king, and the other is naturally the Tang army.
Of course, there are still some people who hate the Arab Empire, and if you hadn't sent an emissary, how could we have become like this?
Before leaving, Li Chengyi looked back, at most, it will be three or two years, the city may disappear in the wind and sand, a city without men will not be able to hold on, and when these 3,000 people die on the battlefield, you women and children will definitely move to other places, and no one will remember this city.
In this internal cleanup, about seven or eight cities will disappear in this way, and the remaining people can still hold on for the past two years, but when they hear that their men are dead, they will not be able to live in such a harsh environment, so they can only choose to move to other cities.
Li Xiang's strategy is very simple, since you choose to cooperate with the Arab Empire, then you are not the people of my Tang Dynasty, and there is no need to let you survive.
In Li Xiang's impression, there are only two choices, either you fight for me, or you fight with me, when you negotiate with the envoys of the Arab Empire, then you may become our enemy, although you have not taken that step now, but we can't wait, then just treat you as an enemy.
The countries of the Western Regions were not without resistance, Li Chengyi's next stop encountered resistance, more than 2,000 cavalry and the Tang army fought, but the war only lasted less than an hour, and these more than 2,000 cavalry became ghosts.
Every time Li Chengyi goes to a city, of course, he has to investigate it clearly, how can he not be prepared? On the surface, his army has not even opened the battle formation, and if his men dare to rebel, in less than two breaths, our serial slaves will shoot your first echelon.
The training and weapons and equipment between the two sides are too far apart, the most important thing is that the soldiers under Li Chengyi are all veterans on the battlefield, I don't know how many bloodsheds they have seen, and the countries of the Western Regions have not fought for several years, and many soldiers are rusty.
