Chapter 1340: Robbery and Spoils
In fact, the Tang army came from the original place and walked for three days, and during these three days, they stopped and stopped, constantly raising sounding balloons, but nothing was found around.
At that time, many people's hearts were furious, we were already close to the outer defense line of the city, but there was no army of the Arab Empire here, even if there was no army of your own country, you had found so many second-devil troops in the local area, so you should let them patrol around.
It's a pity that there is nothing, and it is found that the final result makes all people depressed, how can this be? I thought there was another encounter on the outskirts, but it turned out that it was already outside the city, and the scouts could even see the bonfire in the distance, and these people really couldn't do anything but have fun.
The first soldiers in charge of reconnaissance returned.
"How's it going in the city?"
It is said that this sentence should be said by Cheng Chuliang, but Li Chengyi, this kid, really couldn't help it, so he said it first, if it was another general, he was reluctant to teach him a lesson, you have to recognize who the main general here is.
But Cheng Chuliang followed him by himself, his father didn't talk about the rules at all, and he wanted to ask this sentence himself, Li Chengyi said it in advance, which saved him a lot of trouble, and his two eyes stared at this reconnaissance team.
"Back to the words of the marshal and the generals, the inside has already been drunk, we have observed from three locations to ensure that they are not confusing us, including some soldiers guarding the door, the mouth is full of wine, and there is that kind of sound in many tents."
It took three hours for the scouting soldiers to come back a long time ago, but they were afraid that this was the other party's strategy, so they reconnoitred all around the city, and it turned out that it was not a ploy at all, but that all the people were so corrupt.
"Then how much combat power do you estimate they still have?"
The scout soldier is a veteran of the Tang army, and he has been doing this job for a long time, so he should have no problem.
"At most, 30 percent, or less."
This guy said very confidently, Cheng Chuliang looked at the other reconnaissance veterans, these people also nodded, they saw those people walking swaying, and there were a few people fighting for women, of course, they were all that kind of real fights, if it wasn't for the persuasion of other people, I am afraid they would have to rush up with knives.
"Let the troops be ready, we will attack the city at dawn tomorrow, and you will continue to go back to investigate."
According to Li Chengyi's idea, he should go straight in now, why wait for dawn tomorrow?
Cheng Chuliang naturally has his own ideas when he does this, in case these people are pretending, if we fall into it like this, then we will be really unlucky, so we must be careful in everything we do, and we must not fall for the other party.
This night, if they had been drinking all night long, even if they hadn't really drunk, they would have been very tired this night, and when they attacked tomorrow morning, they would not have much combat effectiveness.
The main thing is that our weapons and equipment are more advanced, and we are more restricted at night, so we have to count on the daytime.
Especially for artillery, if you don't see the target clearly at night, isn't that no different from blind fighting?
When Cheng Chuliang said these words, these people present were silent, no wonder people can be commanders, we can only lead part of the army, and originally formulated a variety of battle plans, but when it comes to the end, nothing is needed, it is really not as good as a plan to change quickly.
"The cavalry of the Loulan Kingdom is still at the back of the team according to the original plan, and let them be idle when they are not needed, but if the cavalry of the Arab Empire escapes, let them catch up from the side, and let the brothers in charge of reconnaissance in the sky show them the way, and take the least road to intercept the Arab cavalry."
Cheng Chuliang finally gave an order, the 1,500 cavalry of Loulan Country is a rare quick reaction in his hands, the sounding balloon in the sky of the troops can see the direction of the opponent's escape, if you listen to the command of the brothers in the sky, our cavalry can walk a lot less, maybe you can catch them.
Of course, there is no way to stop it, after all, the cavalry of the Arab Empire is fast, this is a consensus that everyone knows.
Cheng Chuliang has already told the cavalry of Loulan Kingdom that if you do your best and let the court see your efforts, then part of next year's taxes will be exempted.
Of course, if you can get the head and catch the living, it will naturally be another reward, it is useless to rely on empty words on the battlefield, you must give real benefits to others, especially the soldiers of the Western Regions, they do not have such a deep relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, after this battle, it means that they have completely broken with the people of the Arab Empire, and if they have other ideas in their hearts, then I am afraid that the people of the Arab Empire will not give them a good face.
In this half night, in fact, the soldiers of the Tang Empire can't sleep, but being able to rest a little and slow down the fatigue of their bodies is much stronger than a direct attack.
They can hear the sound of singing and laughing in the city in the distance, but they don't envy it in their hearts, you just have a good time tonight, tomorrow we will be in your city, no matter how much gold and silver treasure you rob around, it will be ours at this time tomorrow.
The soldiers of the countries in the Western Regions also thought so in their hearts, General Cheng had already promised us that no matter how many things were looted tomorrow, one-tenth would be distributed to the people of various countries, and they would not come in vain.
What's more, the people of the Arab Empire burned, killed and looted in the Western Regions, far more powerful than the original Tang army, and now many troops in the Western Regions have understood, although the rule of the Tang Dynasty makes them dissatisfied, but at least we can still live, and the days are better than before.
If we let the people of the Arab Empire occupy this place, then we will simply not live, just look at the uninhabited villages we see along the way, the people of the Arab Empire are exterminating, the policy does not care about this place at all, what will develop in the future, as long as they can satisfy their own selfish desires, then these people can do anything.
