Chapter 160: The Holy Army
The Great Eater Caliph Marencinard stands in front of a huge and majestic wall of the Palace of Wisdom, adorned with jewels of all kinds.
After the magic circle in the room was activated, the ink-colored walls were in ?? ι΄ι₯·18ζ ‘?γ½γ±ζΆη―ζ¦θ°©9 The ι³?θΈηιι»ι»θ¦’εΊε?ζε¬ε v hovering also ?εΊζ°Έιζ¨θ ?ηιΉι¬ι¬ηΊ¦ζ΅·?? And the illusion of the martingale and the palmetto /p>
"Xi Luchi, what is the situation ahead?" Ma Lun, who was standing with his hands in his hands, asked lightly without being angry and arrogant.
"Return to the caliph, in accordance with your orders, the main force of the army has arrived in the area of Mulu City, and the vanguard elite cavalry has arrived in Cannes and is exhausted. In the video, Xi Lu, the deputy "Great Emir" of the Great Food Country, bowed down and replied.
Maren nodded: "The army doesn't have to rest, and it goes directly to the Black Khanate." Olguchak is ready for grain?"
"He prepared everything that the caliph asked the Qarakhanid Khan to prepare, and he completed the orders of the caliph as meticulously as his ministers. Xi Luchi said respectfully.
Mullen nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied and smug smile.
The Great Food Army consisted of three parts, the Caliphate Guards, the Standing Army, and the Mutwar (Volunteer Army).
The Guards were basically stationed in the royal capital, which was equivalent to the Central Forbidden Army of the Central Plains Dynasty and the Emperor's personal army, and only accepted the deployment of the caliph himself; the standing army was the main army of Dashi, and they were the main troops of the Great Food, who fought in all directions and defended the frontiers, passes, and cities.
Mutwar was the private army of the feudal lords in various places, and followed the standing army in wartime, which was equivalent to the army of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty or the army of the feudal towns of the Tang Dynasty. They are also known as the Volunteer Army, which means the personal strength of the lord who voluntarily sent to fight for the country.
The state system of the Great Food is a feudal system, the so-called feudalism, that is, one letter is built, and the caliph divides the lords of various places, has local power, and allows them to establish their own territorial order, cities, and armies.
Before the rise of Mullen, the power of the feudal lords had expanded to the extreme, causing the Great Food Center to lose control of various places. If it weren't for the great food in the middle of the horse, these feudal lords with inflated power should have seized the places one after another at this time and split the great food.
Because of the appearance of Mullen, the Great Food Center was strong, and the power and power of the feudal lords were greatly reduced, and they could only obey the dispatch of the caliph.
Ma Lun pondered for a moment and continued: "Li Ye has always wanted to recreate the glory and territory of the Tang Dynasty, and even establish a more powerful feat than his ancestors, and it is only a matter of time before he uses troops against the Kara Khan.
"Today, the power of the Crescent Sect in Qarakhanid is very stable, but because of the blockage of the Tang Dynasty, it cannot expand eastward, which is not allowed by the true gods!
"When the army enters Kara Khan, it is not allowed to extort money along the way, and it must arrive at the cities of Balsi Khan and Shule as soon as possible according to the established plan. Then, he launched a surprise attack on the Tang Dynasty with all his might, and captured the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate in one fell swoop, opening up the situation for the subsequent actions!
"As long as the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate is captured, the Guards will arrive later and defeat the opponent's main military force in a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty!
"Xi Luchi, what I want to tell you is that the naval fleet has set off, and I hope you don't lose to them. If the naval fleet landed in the East China Sea of the Tang Dynasty, and you haven't broken through Yangguan and Yumen, you will completely lose to Monchtaz. β
Xi Luchi in the mirror heard the back, and his face became quite excited.
He said in an oath-like tone: "Harry has a heart, Xi Luchi will definitely not lose to Monchitaz, you just wait for the good news of the minister! In three months, your guards will be able to drive through Yangguan, drive straight into the Tang Dynasty, and occupy Chang'an!"
The caliph was noncommittal, "I hope the situation is as you say." β
Like Si Luchi, Monchitaz is also the deputy "Great Emir" of the Great Eclipse. The so-called Great Emir, that is, the commander of the three armies of the Great Food, is the first person in the army.
In order to completely control the army in his own hands, now Mullen himself is the Great Emir.
There are several deputy emirs under his command, all of whom are amazingly talented, not only with high cultivation and strong combat power, but also with few opponents in the whole country, and all of them dare to be outstanding, and they are all heroes among ten thousand.
This time in the Eastern Expedition to the Tang Dynasty, Ma Lun paid preemptive attention, so he was fully prepared to supervise the large-scale action of the Yuan some time ago, which was also to suppress the Tang Dynasty's eyeliner. They can't send back the news of the dispatch of the Great Food Army in a timely and accurate manner.
This time, Mullen is doing his best.
However, because it is an expedition, of course, it is impossible to dispatch the main force of the big food ** team, and the logistics cannot afford it. Therefore, the soldiers are all elite, 700,000 standing troops, plus 300,000 volunteers in the eastern part of the Great Food Country, a total of one million troops.
The volunteers, Maren of the lords, do not bear the logistical supplies such as grain and baggage, and when they arrive on the battlefield, they are also the role of a handsetter.
But Mullen dispatched more than these 700,000 troops, he also dispatched a naval fleet.
The Great Eclipse's navy has been in war for a long time and is very powerful, because the Great Eclipse Navy has many opponents.
The powers left and right in the Indian Ocean to the south, and the forces in the northern Mediterranean, were all opponents of the Great Eclipse Navy, including the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Rome) in the eastern Mediterranean, and the Charles Empire in the west, as well as the southern Mediterranean, which were also under the jurisdiction of the Crescent Cult, but a number of independent dynasties.
Mullen's Great Food Navy fleet, which ordered the Eastern Expedition this time, has 300,000 troops, and it is also elite.
In Mullen's plan, the land and sea were all together, and the final situation that would be reached was that Xi Luchi's million-strong army would attack the Tang Dynasty's Yumen Pass and Yangguan from the Black Khanate, and then he would enter the battle with the Guards and launch a fierce attack on the Tang Dynasty from the west.
At the same time, the navy landed on the eastern coastal area of Datang and encroached on the territory of Datang from the east.
The two-way attack, the sea and land at the same time, made the Tang Dynasty fall into the quagmire and could not extricate itself!
After the walls returned to ink, Mullen had not yet left. He deduced and imagined the battle situation, and the smile on his face became more and more intense, "Within a month, the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Protectorate will cease to exist, and within three months, the Tang Dynasty will lose the territory it has recovered over the years." β
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and raised his head, opened his arms, and his face was full of intoxication, as if he was embracing the whole world.
......
Medicine Gloro? [Standing at the head of Shule City and looking eastward, his eyes are eager and full of resentment.]
Since the defeat under the city of Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, he has lost the main force of the Xizhou Uighurs. [He has been living in fear; when he was driven away from Xizhou by the Tang army, his own life was in danger.]
Fortunately, the Western Uighurs of the Green Mountains of the Black Khanate still cared for a little friendship of the same origin, rescued him under the command of the Crescent Sect, and sent troops to garrison Shule City. Medicine Gloro? [This is the only way to survive in this world with the remnants of his own rout.]
After five years of recuperation, medicine Gloro? [I've already eased up.]
During this period, he also saw the power of the Crescent Moon Sect, which was a huge force that he had never seen before, the Khitan Shaman Sect that was strong in the past, conquered the Mobei grassland, and set off a global attack on the Tang Dynasty, compared to him, he was simply a frog at the bottom of the well!
Because of this, the medicine Gloro? [Without hesitation, let the rest of the clan convert to the Crescent Religion.]
After receiving the exercises given by the Crescent Moon Sect, the cultivation of many warriors in the clan has made great progress over the years, especially after obtaining various pills and magic weapons. ['s waist stiffened.]
So far, medicine Gloro? [Knowing that he is already a part of the Crescent Moon Sect, he no longer has the ability to decide his own destiny.]
But he didn't care, as long as he could take revenge on the Tang Dynasty, avenge the people who died in battle, let the Tang Dynasty pay the price of blood, and retreat from the land of Xizhou after the corpses were all over the field, he felt that he would have no regrets in this life!
I can't keep my own Xizhou, but I don't want to think about it in the Tang Dynasty!
"Yao Ge Luo, you always like to stand alone at the head of the city, looking at the east side for a whole day, you look like this, I really don't know what to say. In fact, you don't have to do this at all, you will definitely be able to return to Xizhou. β
The defender of Shule City of the Black Khanate came to Yaoglalu? [Side, comfortingly.]
Medicine Gloro? [Hurriedly salute.] Back then, it was the other party who led the army to respond and blocked the Tang army, so that his clan warriors could escape into Shule City, and after that, it was the other party who led the way, so that he could get all the gifts of the Crescent Moon Sect.
"I just want that day to come sooner!"
Medicine Gloro? [His eyes were red, and he didn't hide his hatred for the Tang Dynasty at all, "If that day really comes, you must let me be the vanguard! I will lead my people to capture the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can see how powerful Yao Ge Luo is now!"
The guard will pat the medicine Gloro? ['s shoulder, "Don't worry, the strength of your department today is several times stronger than five years ago, and if you encounter the Tang Army again, it will definitely be a one-sided slaughter, and your blood revenge will be avenged!"
Medicine Gloro? [Taking a deep breath and nodding heavily, he looked to the east again, "I can't wait, I really hope that Tang Jun will appear in front of me soon!]
......
The city of Barasagon.
Sunadine meets Satuk again.
"The Holy Army is about to enter the Karakhan?!" Hearing this news, the proud son of the Black Khanate, Satuk, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The news was too big, it meant something so shocking, and he hadn't heard anything about it before.
"This is the latest news, to be honest, I didn't hear the slightest wind before this, but now that the army is about to come, I have only been informed. β
Susu Nadine said this helplessly, but his expression was excited.
He knew what that meant.
"No wonder, the Khan ordered me to stock up on grain and ordnance some time ago. The order I received was to prepare for war, and at that time I thought it was Karakhanid who wanted to resist the invasion of the Tang army, but I didn't expect that these burdens were for the holy army!" Satuk had a twinkle in his eyes.
The Crescent Moon Sect is about to launch a major war against the Tang Dynasty, and the Qarakhanid Dynasty, as the frontier position, will definitely take the opportunity to show its strength, and maybe it will be able to establish extraordinary achievements and become famous all over the world!
Being able to defeat the Tang Dynasty, Satuk felt hot and dry when he thought about it.
The Tang Dynasty, once had the glory of the sun, and now there is a trend of prosperity again, seeing that they are about to send troops to the Kara Khan, their country is about to face danger, but they did not expect that the holy army will come ahead of schedule!
Satuq knew how strong the Crescent Cult was, and he knew very well that once the Crescent Cult Holy Army arrived, no one in the world would be able to resist it! At least, the Qarakhanid would have no power to resist. And the Tang Dynasty, even if it is a little stronger, must be unstoppable!
"Satuk, I'm telling you this today, just to let you prepare as soon as possible. Next, I will lure and ambush the great monks of the Tang Dynasty, as long as I can eat them, the news of the arrival of the holy army will always be kept secret from the Tang Dynasty! You should know how important this is. β
Sushnadine's eyes burned as he looked at Satuk.
The latter reacted at once, and Kusu Nadine told him this today, just to ask him to do some effort and send a large number of Great Monks of Karakhanid to ensure that the action was foolproof.
Of course, with the strength of the Crescent Moon Sect itself, it may not be impossible to accomplish this alone, and if Nadine allows himself to participate, he has the intention of showing his face and making meritorious contributions. The other party is showing favor to himself!
The other party is the leader of the Crescent Sect Inspectorate in the Black Khanate, and he is the future khan of the Qarakhanid.
Thinking of this, Satuk hurriedly got up and saluted and thanked him.
"What heights we can reach in this life depends on how much merit we can make in the Tang Dynasty. Satuk, the tide is coming, this is an opportunity for you and me, we must cooperate well!"
"The shaman is so right, that's exactly how it should be!"
