Chapter 382: King Xuan Abandoned the Base to Honor the Wizards
When Ye Chang learned that the cannibal was going to attack the next day, he was silent for a while.
Then everyone's face was filled with joy: Sure enough, the big cannibalism was lured into the mountainous area
Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er followed Ye Chang for a long time, which was not too surprising, so they were happy when they were happy and had no other emotions. Duan Xiushi, Bai Xiaode and other new followers were still a little admiring when they were happy.
Ye Chang was so accurate in grasping people's hearts. From the initial caution to the later decision, the fundamental reason lies in two points: one is the craftsmen and the other is the internal struggle of the Tang army.
These two points are true. I think there are inevitably guys in the Tang army who are connected with Dashi. After all, how could Qiyade not have greed?
"That day, the Chief Secretary sent me to ambush. It was not completed because of the heavy rain. I will ask for an order at the end of today. Please ambush on both sides of the valley." Li Sheng reacted the fastest and was the first to stand up.
"It's time for me to be," said Wang Yang'er.
Ye Chang watched everyone compete for the first place, only one Wei Boyu who was not present. He was a little worried. Wei Boyu took more than a thousand people to the Talas Desert, and no news came at this time. However, he also ordered Wei Boyu to look for opportunities and act. If there was no chance, don't force it. Wei Boyu is very smart and doesn't think he will do stupid things like hitting stones with eggs.
This is also a matter of no choice. You can only do everything on the battlefield. Wars are always full of accidents, and as the head coach, you make the most correct judgments in various accidents.
Putting Wei Boyu's affairs temporarily, Ye Chang said: "This time I am not ambushing on both sides of the road."
"Don't you lie in ambush?" Everyone was surprised.
How can you defeat the enemy without ambush? If you really compete head-on, the combat effectiveness of the Dashi Army is not inferior to that of the Tang Army, and the strength is far greater than that of the Tang Army. The situation of war is quite unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty.
"I have asked in detail that Ziyad is a general in the Dashi Army. He is resourceful and cannot be compared with ordinary people. Even if he sends troops, he will be very cautious and must send people to conduct extensive reconnaissance. If there is an ambush, he will know it." Ye Chang paused: "So, I intend to put the battlefield in the distance between Baishiling and Shu Jiancheng."
"here……"
That place was really not a good battlefield, and everyone was hesitant, but Ye Chang was confident. He pointed to a place in the sand table: "Since I and King Ningyuan decided this plan, I have drawn people and done some things here. The key to this battle is here."
He pointed a little on the sand table and then drew a circle.
Everyone was shocked at first, and then their expressions changed. Dou Zhongjie didn't understand it at first, so he pulled Duan Xiushi to ask. Duan Xiushi's throat festival moved and lowered his voice: "You don't know the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally I don't understand the mystery... I can't tell it now, and the difference will be revealed tomorrow."
"If this plan is implemented, our army will win, but the news brought by King Ningyuan just now, Ziyad took the soldiers of the various countries in the river as the front drive and hurried himself in the rear army. Therefore, the damage to the Dashi headquarters may not be too severe. He mainly relies on the soldiers to fight bravely to fight the enemy. Chenggong, didn't you say that Li Siye intends to commit crimes and make meritorious contributions? I am using him as a general to break the battlefield. Do you think it is feasible?"
"Li Siye must fight to the death to fight to avenge his previous shame," Duan Xiushi said.
"Shanzhi Master, Yang'er, you two are left and right. When the war begins, you will intercept and kill them in different ways. Be sure to prevent the enemy from taking care of each other, can you?"
"De Ling" Shanzhi and Wang Yang'er said in a deep voice.
Ye Chang turned to Li Sheng who was eager to try: "Although our army has the advantage of this matter, if the Dashi headquarters is not damaged much, it will be a tough battle. Li Sheng, I want to use you as a short dagger, where will I use you at the critical moment? Can you?
"I will not let Ye Zhongcheng down. I will fight out the might of the Tianwei Army, so as not to know that these barbarians only have the Anxi Army," Li Sheng replied arrogantly.
"Since that's the case, everyone will go to prepare for war." Ye Chang sent the followers away, leaving only Duan Xiushi: "Mr. Chenggong, you should be more worried about the matter of merit and rewards. The soldiers have sacrificed their lives in front of the formation. Their merit and rewards should not be neglected."
"Yes" Duan Xiushi was so energetic that Ye Chang had no name just now. He thought he might not have the chance to make contributions, but now he realized that just as Ye Chang said before, he was treated as a handsome man, rather than a general who broke through the formation.
Both the Dashi Army and the Dashi Army began to prepare for the next day's action. The next morning, when the morning light came out, the Dashiren began to kneel and pray to the West, and then eat. When the Dashiran climbed to the top of the mountains to the east, the Dashiren began to act. The Shiguo and the Grolu coalition forces, who were leading the battle, set out first, and they drove out from the city of Talas, crossed the Talas River, and marched towards the Baishiling in the east.
Ziad watched the scene at the top of the city, then looked back.
Dozens of generals surrounded him, including many kings and princes from the countries in the river. Under the eyes of Ziad, they bowed their heads and saluted.
The king of Bahan with pale face was also among them, but he stood in the farthest place, with only five guards beside him, looking very down and out. Ziad frowned and said to a general beside him: "Let someone stare at this guy. If there is any problem with Bahan, kill him."
The general bowed and retreated silently. Then Ziad shook his cloak and turned to the city of Talas.
Yuan En took the lead and looked at the mountains that were getting closer and closer, a grim smile appeared on his face.
Whether Bahan really surrendered to Dashi or false intentions, it seemed the same in his opinion. Anyway, after driving the Tang Dynasty out of the Hezhong area this time, Shi Kingdom would have to calculate the general account with Bahan. With Dashi's support, he would undoubtedly win.
"The Tang army will definitely be defeated in this battle. The strength of the two sides is nearly twice as different. What else can the Tang army fight? Relying on the mouth of the prime minister's son-in-law?" he thought to himself.
Not only did he think so, but his subordinates and even the entire Dashi coalition thought so. The real Dashi had only more than 20,000 Dashi soldiers, and thousands of them were lost in the battle under the city of Talas. However, the resignation of the Grolu people greatly made up for the losses of the Great Cannibal. The countries in the river, the servants sent by Tochar, and volunteers who followed the army to fight, made Qiyad command more than 100,000 troops. On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty originally recruited nearly 100,000 Hanhu, but more than 20,000 were lost at the city of Talas, and Gelu's rebellion took away another 20,000. Now that the Khan was unstable, even if there were a little reinforcement from the rear, the total strength was only 60,000.
This is a double the gap in military strength, and the core combat power of both sides, Dashi also has a slight advantage.
From Talas to the expedition and before Baishiling, Yuanen did not rush to enter the valley, but temporarily stationed his troops and sent a scout to search carefully along the way. He was familiar with the geography of this area and knew that the terrain here was the most likely place to ambush.
Hundreds of scouts occupied the nearby highlands and looked around. The rocks were rugged, and they looked like they were buried with heavy troops. But after careful searching, they did not find a soldier, and even a lurking scout. They were still searching, and some scouts who were heading forward were already running wildly: "The Tang army retreated."
"Did Tang Jun retreat?" Yuan En was stunned when he heard the news.
Judging from the previous performance of the Tang army, although they were defeated at the city of Talas, they still had the strength to fight. Moreover, the generals of the Tang army clearly showed dissatisfaction and acted as if they were to reorganize the army and fight again. But now after the army advanced, the Tang army retreated?
Although he was eager to drive the Tang Dynasty out of the river completely, since Ziyad was there, he was not able to make the decision. Therefore, he sent a flying cavalry backwards and informed Ziyad that it was not long before Ziyad came to his troops surrounded by a group of generals.
"Do you confirm that the Tang army retreat?" Ziad asked.
"I sent someone to reconnaissance again and confirmed that the Tang army had abandoned Baishiling. They walked in a hurry and even the camp was not completely demolished." Yuan En said.
Ziad pondered for a moment. Although Tang Jun's actions could not be said to be completely unexpected, they also gave him the feeling of using the strength to hit the cotton ball. Did Tang Jun realize that it was wrong to evacuate or had other requests, and he also needed to figure it out immediately.
"Go ahead and go to the Tang Army barracks. Don't enter the barracks easily, so as not to have any accidents." He ordered again.
Yuanen led the Shi Kingdom and the Grolu people to the Tang Army barracks. They stopped again. When Ziad heard that there was nothing unusual, he rushed to the front of the battlefield again. He chose a mountain and looked down at the Tang Army barracks. He saw that the camp was formed along the mountain, with ditches surrounding the camps. Although the ditches were only a temporary camp, they were orderly. Now that the camp tent has been demolished, the overall situation is still intact. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "I always thought that only Byzantines had such an orderly military barracks. I didn't expect that the Tang people would be like this. The combat power of the Tang Kingdom should not be underestimated..."
Hearing his voice faintly, Yuanen was a little anxious: "Governor, this is the case. If you cannot take advantage of this Tang army's defeat and drive them out of the river and to the east of the Palacio Mountains, when they come back, the number will only be greater and the army will be more difficult to deal with."
Ziad hesitated slightly: "You are right, but we must be cautious. We will stay here today and we will rest here."
It was still early at this time. After the order of Ziyad was issued, many generals were puzzled and asked. Ziyad frowned and explained: "Although the Tang people retreated in a hurry, judging from their military camp arrangement, the young general who seized Gao Xianzhi's military power should also be familiar with military affairs. It was not as I imagined, but because of a father-in-law who was the prime minister, he ascended to the high position. Such a young general usually has a sense of aura. I will advance slowly and make him anxious first."
"I don't think it's anything..." said a big food general.
Ziad snorted. This general was his confidant, so he dared to speak at this time. He drove the rest away, and left this person behind, blaming him, "When we resisted the Umaya family, you were like me, and in the war, I was promoted faster than you. Now I have become the leader of the journey, but he is just my subordinate. Do you know why?"
The man muttered, obviously not convinced.
"The reason is that I will learn war from war, but you just rely on your instinct to be a war prophet said that if knowledge is far away in China, you will also seek it now. You do not pay attention to learning the knowledge of the enemy, so you have not made any progress in so many years."
"I really didn't see anything"
"Think carefully, why do you need to dig such a ditch in your own military camp, why do you need to set up a special military hospital area, why do you have to concentrate your urine and defecation in the pit..." Ziard said more than ten whys in a row, and then sighed: "The young general in his twenties in his country can carefully consider the details of the march in this way, but you, a person who has fought for decades, still know nothing."
"So what? We still defeated the Tang army. Their mountain kings are all our defeated generals."
"You" Ziad really has no choice but to drive him away.
Ye Chang did not expect that the military camp that he had not completely demolished when he evacuated would reveal his ability to command operations. A wise man would have to make mistakes. Although he had cultivated the skills of command operations in recent years of war, he did not expect to be so meticulous.
Therefore, the Great Cannibal stopped in the original military camp of Baishiling and did not move, which surprised him.
"Did the Great Cannibal see through our plan?" Dou Zhongjie, the king of Bahan, was like an ant on a hot pan at this time: "Or, we will fight the Great Cannibal in Baishiling, and I am willing to lead the Bahan as the pioneer.
"The pioneer is mine, how do you get your turn?" Bai Xiaode shouted.
Ye Chang turned to Duan Xiushi: "Mr. Cheng, why did the big cannibal stop before he arrived at the camping camp, and it happened to be in our abandoned military camp?"
Duan Xiushi couldn't guess the reason why the Great Cannibal stopped moving, but the Great Cannibal was stationed in their abandoned camp, which was not as expected by Duan Xiushi: "The camp established by the Central Chief has a high terrain and a water source. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack on one side, and there are ready-made ditches and stone tiles. If I were General Daqi, as long as I confirmed that there was no problem with the military camp, I would also settle in it."
"Did the big cannibal really see through our plan?" Ye Chang asked again.
"In my humble opinion, the Great Cannibal has not seen through our plan at this time. If it is seen through, I am afraid that there will be an unexpected happening with Prince Dou Xuezong... I thought that Dashi would send someone to see King Ningyuan quietly, and then we will know that the Great Cannibal is in reality."
Everyone felt it was reasonable after hearing this. For example, Bai Xiaode and other former Anxi soldiers were a little dissatisfied with Duan Xiushi, but at this time they couldn't help but feel that Ye Zhongcheng was indeed aware of people. It was indeed reasonable that Duan Xiushi was promoted by him.
"You think so too?" Ye Chang asked everyone again.
Everyone had no objection, and Ye Chang said, "Since that's the case, let's wait for a day... King Ningyuan, don't rush to send someone to see the prince. At this time, you will be patient with the cannibals. Whoever can't stand his temper first will lose the initiative."
