Chapter 1363: The two armies fight together
This time it was divided into three ways, which was also frightened by the Tang army, and it was counted that it had fought three times, but there was no victory, even if it was the loss of both sides, almost the face of the Arab Empire could get by, it was purely beaten by others, how could this work?
So in this case, Prince Salamatan is also cautious, what he is most afraid of is to lose the battle again this time, if he fails again this time, then he really has no chance to stand up, the attackers within the empire will come soon, it is estimated that he will live honestly in the capital in the future, and there will never be a chance to lead troops again.
So this time he tried his best to attack, let him be very careful, there must be no mistakes, he also told his subordinates, this is not only his last chance, but also everyone's last chance, if we fail again, Lao Tzu, who is a prince, will have no chance to inherit the throne, but you don't think there is a future.
The generals below also listened, and the last thing they wanted was to fight this kind of stressful war, but there was no way.
Prince Salamatan has been here for so long, and the national capital has been waiting for news, and wave after wave of ministers have come from the national capital, just to see the real situation here, the previous defeats have been concealed, and the national capital also understands that as long as it is this victory, then the previous things can be covered up.
In the face of a huge victory, it doesn't matter how many small defeats there are, but if you don't have this huge victory, then I'm afraid some things will be difficult to say, and then the forces of all parties will not be able to suppress it, and you will have to come out of the inner circle of power.
"Your Royal Highness."
Seeing Salaman come out of his tent, the surrounding soldiers hurriedly saluted, at this moment Salaman didn't care about them, he always felt a little panicked in his heart, although he was very young, but he was also a veteran on the battlefield, whenever he felt this way, it was definitely not good.
The feeling on the battlefield is inexplicable, even if you say it to the people around you several times, they can't know how you feel in your heart, but Salaman understands that there may be danger around it.
"Go and call Fatera."
Prince Salamatan suddenly thought of one of his subordinates, this person is in charge of reconnaissance around the barracks, originally only twenty miles, but now it has expanded to thirty miles, although the people below are struggling, but the people in the camp can also rest assured, as long as there is no enemy around the surrounding thirty miles, then we can be a little more at ease.
"Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, General Fatallah has led people to patrol outside and has not yet returned."
After hearing this, Prince Salaman's heart became even more irritable.
According to the original agreed time, there was still half an hour before this group of patrol personnel returned, but when Prince Salamatan went back, he suddenly thought of another thing, this patrol mechanism is flawed, once the enemy seizes the time of the shift, it is very likely to rush over.
But soon he shook his head, it was only half an hour, even if the other party was a heavenly soldier, it was impossible to rush over in half an hour, and the surrounding desert was not easy to walk.
According to normal theory, Prince Salaman's feeling is fine, but the Tang army is good at creating miracles, although the shift time is only half an hour, but what if we catch all the patrols in a certain direction? Aren't we three hours?
The Datang army has a sounding balloon, which means that the surrounding situation is well understood, so when the enemy's patrols come out to patrol what route, they have long recorded it clearly, if the other party wants to get out from here, it is basically impossible.
Qu Tushou's subordinates are all elites, and there are more than 1,000 people who are rapid reaction forces trained from Datang, to put it bluntly, they are the special forces of Datang in this era, they have been trained in Fusang, and the war in the Western Regions is tense, so they are brought over thousands of miles away.
Now it's time to use them, so when Qu Tushou gave the order, these people had already quickly gone forward thirty miles, and then honestly lurked, waiting for a suitable time to solve the patrol soldiers in front of them, and give the large army time to work.
Now that the patrolling soldiers had been detained by them, a large number of artillery teams had begun to move forward, and they had to run within range, and now everyone was nervously doing their work, because there was not much time, less than two hours.
The Datang army does this kind of thing walking on the edge of the cliff every time, but every time it gains a lot, as long as you can do it well, then don't be afraid of no record.
"Hurry up and keep up."
Feng Chucai looked at the sun in the sky, now half of the time has passed, fortunately, we have completed two-thirds of the way, as long as the army of the Arab Empire does not find anything abnormal, then we have won sixty percent of this war.
Qu Tushou was in the other direction, he was responsible for leading the cavalry to intersperse the army, although Feng Chucai wanted to do this, but because of his age, Qu Tushou was not willing to let General Feng advance with the artillery team, their task was also very important, to throw a large number of shells down at the first time, as many as they could.
General Feng is also the first time to command such an operation, but he has seen the situation on the exercise ground, when our ballistas and artillery are fired, the other side simply can't hold on, no matter what kind of army it is, basically I have never seen such a scene, when you panic, that is the moment of our attack.
The soldiers under his command also knew that the matter was urgent at the moment, so they all gritted their teeth, even if they had exceeded the limit of their physical strength, they had to continue to move forward, and there were still some abandoned vehicles on the side of the road, which were all broken down on the way, and now they have no time to repair it, so they threw it here and pulled it down, and they will come back to repair it when they find an opportunity.
Of course, even if it is so panicked, but some key parts on the gun truck have to be removed, the Tang army has been using all kinds of artillery for so long, and there has never been a leakage, this is because they are extremely careful everywhere, even if they want to destroy a part, they must be watched.
What is thrown here can be made everywhere, and as for the core components, it is absolutely impossible to abandon them here, which is related to the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army.
