Chapter 1345: Hasty Troops
If something like this happened before, this old man would have to stand up and say a few words, we can't go too far, these people fought the front line for a long time, and finally fought a bloody way, and brought us back such an important thing, then even if we don't reward them, then we must not kill them for me, otherwise no one in the future will want to come back and find a place to run.
It's a pity that after a series of great changes, Governor Faisal is not a fool, often you are good for His Royal Highness the Prince, and you will be whipped when you say it, so let's be honest, His Royal Highness the Prince will do what he says, anyway, when something happens, His Royal Highness the Prince is in front, and we are just carrying out His Royal Highness's orders.
To put it bluntly, it is to change from a thinking subordinate to a tool that can only carry out orders, and only in this way can you survive by the side of His Royal Highness the Prince, otherwise you will wait to be whipped, and you may be sent to prison.
Take the subordinate officials of the Governor's Mansion as an example, there were originally more than 300 people in total, and now there are more than 100 old people left, and these more than 200 people don't know where they were assigned, some of them were directly killed, and some of them were directly dismissed.
Anyway, for various reasons, Governor Faisal also understood the situation in front of him, so he didn't dare to meddle in things, honestly stood in his position, and hit the clock for a day as a monk.
"These Tang troops are really too hateful, they are openly attacking our army, since this is the case, then there is nothing to say, pass my order, immediately declare war on the Tang Empire, gather all our troops, and set off for Shiguo City in two days to exterminate all the Tang army."
Just when Governor Faisal was stunned, he suddenly heard this sentence, this is really too hasty, although the two countries are already at war, but we don't know much about the situation in the east, especially after the defeat of our army, the intelligence in that area is simply blank.
One of the most powerful tactics of our Arabs in war is sneak attack, when the enemy is unprepared, our cavalry comes and goes without a trace, which will cause the most damage to the enemy, and we can get the greatest results.
Of course, everything must be premised on military intelligence, we must first know what the state of the opponent's army is and where it is stationed, so that we can carry out a sneak attack, but now we have zero intelligence in this area, and all the intelligence systems have collapsed with the army system.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, is it a little more relaxed, send someone over to see what is going on, and wait until these scouts come back, let's make plans, if we rush to send troops, it is very likely to fall into the trap of the other party."
Governor Faisal did not stand up and speak, but there were some other people in the army who had brains, and they could usually watch the prince mess around, but he had to send out an army of 100,000 at every turn, which was not a trivial matter, and we lost 20,000 troops, once we lost these 100,000 troops, then all the land in the Governor's Palace of Anton in the Arab Empire became terra nullius.
The Western Regions are very far away from the location of the Tang Dynasty, and the land of the Governor's Mansion is also very far away from the Arab Empire, if these 100,000 troops are lost, then the remaining troops are not at all worried that the Tang Dynasty can easily occupy it, and if we want to take it back, the difficulty will increase several times.
"What is there to worry about, our army is the most powerful army in the world, the Tang army is just a sneak attack on us, if it is a real face-to-face confrontation, they will never be our problem, what bullshit Sun Tzu's art of war, in my opinion, it is opportunistic, you should not be afraid to follow this prince to occupy the entire Western Regions."
The more Prince Salamatan spoke, the more energetic he became, and the whole person was already out of control as if he had been ignited in a cannonball, and the other officials wanted to persuade a few words, but when they saw the sharp eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, they swallowed the words into their stomachs.
At this time, a fool will stand out, we are in the camp of the Chinese army, if we really fight, we people have the ability to escape, and the poor ones are the ordinary soldiers below, they may not have any chance to escape.
Including Governor Faisal, he always felt that this expedition was different from the previous time, he was also an old man in the army, and naturally he also had this strange foreknowledge, if he could win, why did his heart keep pounding?
I have to say that the soldiers brought by His Royal Highness the Prince from the country definitely exceed the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of Anton, which should give us great confidence, but all the officials of the Governor's Palace of Anton feel the danger.
In just two days, 120,000 troops were assembled, and a large number of people rode camels to follow His Royal Highness the Prince, in addition to more than 40,000 soldiers of various nationalities who had been conscripted from the area, who were not willing to leave their families at all, but who were threatened by the scimitars, and who had to follow the Arab soldiers on the march, or else the whole family would be beheaded.
Governor Faisal is responsible for managing logistics, following behind the army, although the Arab army has always wanted logistics, but this time with the Tang army, Prince Salamatan still left a special person in charge of logistics, we have to deal with it with all our strength when we fight, so there is no time to rob around, so a battalion of food and drink must be supplied from the rear.
Governor Faisal was very satisfied with this work, and he was afraid to rush to the front with the army, because it would be insecure, and if he was to take care of logistics in the rear, something would happen to him and he could retreat early.
The group set off like this, standing on the walls of Samarkand City, His Royal Highness the Prince was very high-spirited, looking at the brigade a few miles long in the distance, this guy was also heroic.
"You guys are in a good time, if it was before, you would have done it in this life, there would be no chance of promotion, now follow this prince to conquer the entire Western Regions, in the future we will be able to conquer the entire Tang Dynasty, and when this prince becomes a caliph, you will also have a reward."
In the face of the prince's boasting, they could only nod with a wry smile.
