Speaking of broken leaves, many people may not know where they are, or even have not heard of them.

None of this matters, the important thing is that there was once a celebrity here in Shattered Leaf City.

The famous poet immortal Li Bai, whose ancestors migrated from the broken leaves to Shudi, can also be regarded as related.

Broken leaves are backed by the Tianshan Mountains and Atami, and the eastern side is the northern route of the Silk Road.

To the south is the four towns of Anxi, and to the north is the Jinshan Mountains, one of the most important bases of nomadic tribes from the Xiongnu to the Turks.

If you go to the west, across Quanshan is the city of Kulan and the city of Talas, and then to the west is the two river basins of Central Asia, that is, the place where Dawan was located in the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to obtain the bloody horse, sent the second division general Li Guangli to fight the place.

In other words, don't look at the Tang army now that they have all fought here, they are far from arriving where the Han army once been.

Of course, the current Dawan has long disappeared into the dust of history, and this large area in the west is now the world of Zhaowu Jiu.

Further west, the surname Zhaowu Jiu is the territory of the caliphate.

At this time, the west was also experiencing a great upheaval, the Arabs overthrew the Persians, and established an era of coexistence of the four caliphs.

Historically, the Tang army came here decades later, colliding with the Umayyad Dynasty, which engulfed the nine surnames of Zhaowu at that time.

Because the Umayyad banner was still white, it was called the Great Food in White.

By the time of Gao Xianzhi's westward expansion, the Umayyad dynasty was replaced by the Abbasid dynasty, and because the banner was still black, it was called the black clothes and food.

The Battle of Talas was a collision between the Tang Dynasty, which advanced westward, and the Abbasid Dynasty, which advanced eastward.

Subsequently, because of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty stopped its westward expansion.

The Abbasid Dynasty, on the other hand, was shocked by the terrifying strength of the Tang Dynasty, and was convinced that they took the initiative to choose to give up eastward march until the Mongols rose...

Returning to Broken Leaves, with the arrival of the Tang Army's reinforcements, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, the Turian Cavalry Division, and many miscellaneous beards who besieged Broken Leaves, began to gather and prepare for a decisive battle with the reinforcements.

There is only one advantage of the Zhuhu coalition army, that is, it is numerous.

All kinds of tribes add up, and that makes it impossible to see the edge line at a glance.

The horses have made preliminary statistics, at least more than 100,000!

It is indeed a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people.

It's just that from Li Yunze downwards, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army are all relaxed.

It's not that you look down on your opponent, but you know that your opponent is a piece of loose sand.

The main force of the Tang army is the government soldiers, and the main force of the government soldiers is the good family, and the good family is the children of the seven branches, non-doctors, witches, merchants, and other good people.

The so-called home of a beloved person has land, property and reputation.

There is an industry in the family, and in the era of martial arts, it is common to practice martial arts from an early age to strengthen one's body.

The family has property and can equip themselves with military resources such as horses and weapons.

The family has its own perseverance, and it is rare to choose to surrender on the battlefield, because they represent a whole family.

The Chinese people care about their families, and many Mengshi would rather die on the battlefield than surrender and affect their families.

Even if the soldiers recruited in the follow-up recruitment, most of them are mainly from good families.

With such excellent quality, coupled with the logistical upgrades provided by strong national strength, its combat effectiveness is not difficult to compare with the strong soldiers of the Han Dynasty.

It is not like the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty and the military household of the Ming Dynasty. Under the suppression of the turbans, the soldiers were either ruffians or criminals.

The basic quality is already rotten, and the turbans who don't even have the ability to talk on paper to command the war, naturally have no combat effectiveness at all, so it is a matter of course to lose the country.

If you don't die, there is no heavenly reason!

Although the Tang army only had 30,000 horses, it dared to take the initiative to attack.

It is still the most traditional old routine, first the Great Wall of Steel composed of foot soldiers suppresses the battle formation, followed by the iron cavalry on both wings to impact and trample.

This tactic is really very traditional, and it seems simple but it is very useful.

Because whether it was the phalanx of infantry soldiers on the front or the cavalry on both flanks, the Zahu coalition forces could not stop it.

Almost all members of the Tang army were dressed in armor, and they were all strong and light iron armor forged by water power.

Coupled with their high morale and skilled combat ability, the oppressive force after the start of the war was simply impossible to resist.

Su Dingfang had an army of 100,000 there, but he was trapped in the Yinli River valley and couldn't get out, not because the Tang army over there couldn't fight, but because the Western Turks didn't fight a decisive battle at all, they just used the terrain, mountains, rivers, deserts, etc. to drag them to death.

Whether it is the Western Turks or the Uighurs, or Xue Yantuo.

They all know very well that they can't win a head-on main battle with Datang.

On the side of the Zahu coalition army, purely because their purpose was to blockade Broken Leaves, they were forced to have to fight a decisive battle with the main force.

If you don't fight a decisive battle, the siege of Shattered Leaf City will be lifted.

However, the outcome of the decisive battle, as Clausewitz wrote in the theory of war, 'a decisive battle of the main forces in one afternoon will decide the fate of one or several countries.' ’

Not to mention anything else, after the decisive battle that afternoon, at least several countries among the nine surnames of Zhaowu have all suffered devastating blows, and after losing the main army, there is a high probability that there will be no more than a few years.

The first to collapse were the miscellaneous beards from all over the place, as well as the horse thieves who got the news and came to eat together.

The Western Regions are home to the weed-like tribes and horse thieves, and the Silk Road is the bloodline for them.

These people are very cruel and very effective in the face of weakness.

Like robbing caravans that are not well prepared, they can even afford an unimaginable casualty line.

But when they really went to the battlefield, facing the Great Wall of Steel of the Tang Army, facing the real battlefield of swords, guns and arrows, their former fierceness and courage, cruelty and bloodiness all flew away.

When the Datang Iron Cavalry came like a tide, the Zahu and the horse bandits collapsed like spring and snow.

They don't even have the courage to go up and hedge a round!

Zahu will always be a miscellaneous, and horse bandits will always be just horse bandits.

Their collapse directly led to the two wings of the coalition army being exposed in front of the Tang Iron Cavalry.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Tang Army's iron cavalry was too lazy to look at the fleeing Zahu and horse bandits, and without hesitation, they directly crashed into the coalition army's large array from the flank.

The coalition army, which was hit hard in the waist, turned on the collapse mode without the slightest accident.

In fact, even the Tang Army of this era, when encountering such a blow, it is difficult to form an effective countermeasure, unless the commander has a strong reserve in his hands to put in the counterattack.

The second of the coalition forces to flee was the Turgish, and their strength was not weak, at least not as strong as any of the nine countries of the Zhaowu Dynasty.

But the strange thing is that Li Yunze has no intention of pursuing at all, that is, to invest his strength on the body of Zhaowu Jiu.

The reason is actually very simple, the Turgish people are originally active in the area of Broken Leaves, and even if they run away from the battlefield, they will not be able to run far strategically.

Zhaowu Jiu's surname is different, they came from a distant river, since they came, let's stay.

Left these Zhaowu nine surnames, the river is basically at your fingertips.

This world war against Tang has not yet ended, and Li Yunze has already begun to plan for the future.

The surname Zhaowu Jiu was famous for business, and their regiments were not very strong in combat, and even many cavalry were on camels.

But their determination to resist was strong, far outnumbering that of the Zahu Horse Bandits and the Turgish.

Because they know very well that once they are defeated, they will not even have a place to escape.

Their foundation, in the two rivers thousands of miles away to the west, was pursued and killed by the Tang army in a state of rout, how many people could flee back to their hometown?

If you are forced into a desperate situation, you can only fight hard.

The desperate resistance of the nine surnames of Zhaowu brought a lot of trouble to the Tang army.

But it's just troublesome.

"Study hard!"

Cheng Biting Jin, who was on the viewing platform, told his son with a serious expression, "This is the observation, judgment and decisiveness on the battlefield." ”

Cheng Chumo was a little confused, he really didn't understand.

"He let go of the Zahu, let go of the horse bandits, and didn't even chase the Tuqishi. Letting go of those water dogs who were easy to gain combat exploits, he concentrated all his strength on the body of the surname Zhaowu Jiu. Cheng Yanjin motioned to Li Yunze, who was not far away, and lowered his voice to instruct

"That's observation and judgment."

"Even if it seems that the effort is not proportional to the income on the surface, it is still determined to attack the nine surnames of Zhaowu, which is the decisiveness. When can you do this, Lao Tzu and I can also smile Jiuquan. ”

Cheng Chumo scratched his head: "I don't understand." ”

"Alas~~~"

Cheng Yanjin sighed speechlessly, his stupid son is really... If it's here...

"Zahu and horse bandits don't matter, they are scared out of their courage and can destroy them at any time. Even as long as my Datang beckons, they can immediately run over to make cattle and horses for Datang. ”

"It doesn't matter if the Turgish are because they can't run. Their old camp is near Broken Leaves, and when the Tanma finds its location, they can be wiped out completely. ”

"It's just that these Zhaowu nine surnames are different, and they have no other way to retreat but to fight to the death. If you divide your troops to pursue those miscellaneous horse bandits, you are likely to suffer a big loss. Able to accurately select real targets, and refuse the temptation of easy success

Go ahead. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Biting Jin was speechless, "How old is he, and I heard that he hasn't been on the battlefield much before, so he can see things so thoroughly, this is the real ability." ”

"Ayer."

Cheng Chumo asked, "Didn't you see it too?" ”

"Look." Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, "I only figured it out after those miscellaneous beards and horse bandits fled, but he didn't send anyone to chase them." Remember, when fighting, you must concentrate as much as possible, and then choose the right target to fight to the death! ”

"I understand that." Cheng Chumo nodded again and again: "Chong Chong Chong!" Bump Bang! I know! ”

Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes again, he didn't want to speak now, he just wanted to be quiet.

In my heart, I can only comfort myself, young people, and those who only know how to rush can also understand. When you have more experience, you will naturally understand when you have experience. ’

His gaze naturally fell on Li Yunze's back, "Haven't you fought any battles?" How do you understand so much? ’
