Arnold, Nizam, and Sims didn't know it, the Tang army captured Talas City, Clark led the army to be destroyed, and Yang Yue, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, led the Tang army into the city.

Again, they did not believe that the Don army inflicted heavy losses on the well-armed Sassanid army and captured the city of Talas.

Take a step back and say, if the Tang army captures the city, there should be defenders in the city who escape and report to them.

Today, neither the scouts have returned, nor have they encountered deserters, so they firmly believe that the Tang army is attacking the city, and all the scouts have been killed by the Tang army they encountered.

Arnold pondered, his expression still very solemn.

When he was young, he raised his short sword and said sharply: "Nizam, Sims, speed up your journey, strive to reach outside the city of Talas at midnight, and then investigate the situation outside the city." ”

The scout did not return, and led the army eastward, and on the way, he met the scout.

Or, if you encounter the remnants of the soldiers who have escaped from the city on the way, you will always know the state of Talas.

Otherwise, it would not be a good thing to stay here and speculate without the slightest evidence.

"The iron cavalry quickened the march, and the infantry ran forward." Sims gave the order with a swing of his sword.

........

Talas City.

The Tang army was heavily defended and heavily garrisoned.

All the soldiers were dressed in Sassanid uniforms, and it was difficult to detect them from a distance.

According to Yan Yuefeng's orders, the people who traveled to and from Talas City, except for Yang Wan and the scouts led by Ager, were not allowed to enter or leave.

Beware of the news of the change of ownership of the city, leaking out in advance.

At this time, a small team quickly entered the city.

The leaders, Adele, Yang Wan, and Ager, rode into the city, their faces excited, and the accompanying soldiers bravely escorted several Sassanids.

Entering the city, he went straight to the barracks, informed Zhao Xuanhu, and went to the City Lord's Mansion.

In the past two days, the Tang Army has been rectified, Yang Yue feels very relaxed, and when he is free, he spends time with Lin Miaoyin, He Qinxin, and Yue Nujiao.

Rare leisure, he was in high spirits and instructed the prince to practice martial arts.

The scorching sun was rising, and the two young princes, walking on horses, beads of sweat fell to the ground from their immature faces, and the collar of the palace dress was already wet with sweat.

Lin Miaoyin, He Qinxin, and Yue Nujiao felt sorry for the two princes, and they took turns to persuade each other, but they didn't gain anything.

Seeing the two princes, standing in the light for nearly half an hour, Lin Miaoyin was proficient in martial arts and knew the hardships of martial arts.

looked at the prince from time to time, and complained a little: "Husband, practicing martial arts is not overnight, they are all children, and being too strict will help them grow." ”

Yang Yue turned a deaf ear and didn't care, leading the two princes to the west, it was to train them and tell them how difficult it was to seize the country.

I can't bear such a little hardship, how to command the army in the future, and how to govern the Tang Dynasty?

Yang Yue held a teacup and sat on a stone bench, monitoring the two princes.

When Zhao Xuanhu led Adele, Yang Wan, and Ager to walk in, he witnessed Yang Yue training the two princes, and after Zhao Xuanhu and others saluted, Zhao Xuanhu said, "Your Majesty, good news." ”

Yang Yue turned his head to stare and asked, "Caught the Sassanid scout?" ”

"Not only did I catch the Sassanid scouts, but I also tortured a lot of news." Adele pouted, very proud.

Hearing this, Yang Yue got up and told Lin Miaoyin: "Let them practice well, don't be lazy, I'll come when I go!" ”

After that, he motioned to Zhao Xuanhu, and Adele and the others walked towards the front hall.

Adele glanced at the two princes and reminded: "The sun in the Western Regions is very scorching, and it is difficult for adults to bear it, they are so young, is it too harsh for you to treat them like this?" ”

"Aren't you just an adult, still kill the enemy!" Yang Yue asked rhetorically.

Adele was displeased, and said angrily: "I have lived in the Western Regions since I was a child, and I was forced by life to gallop and kill, if I was born in a rich family, I would never kill anyone, they are different, they have been pampered since childhood, and there is no need to endure hardship." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the sun here is much more powerful than Chang'an, the crown prince, the second prince is young, especially the second prince, too young." Zhao Xuanhu said.

Usually, he also taught his children martial arts, but he was never so strict.

"With the crown, they will bear its weight, they are the future heirs of the Tang Dynasty, if they don't suffer hardship, how will they govern the court in the future. If they are mediocre, will the territory that the generals have conquered be defeated by them? Yang Yue's expression was stern and he didn't change his mind.

Adele didn't say much, she was a little angry, and she didn't bother to deal with Yang Yue.

The group walked into the front hall, and Yang Yue asked, "Tell me, what's the good news?" ”

"Your Majesty, the scouts sent by the Sassanid reinforcements were either killed in the wilderness or captured alive, and none of them survived." Adele was angry and didn't pay attention to Yang Yue, and Yang Wan reported.

After all, the emperor sent them two hundred Tang troops, and the wolves and mountain eagles under their command, this vast wilderness is simply their world.

Any stranger haunts the grassland, and he can't think of retreating.

"Not bad, not bad!" Yang Yue nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Ager stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the prisoner was captured, the villain and Yang Wan interrogated and tortured overnight, and learned that the commander of the reinforcements was called Arnold, who led 30,000 heavy armored infantry to come, and this Arnold was in the Sasanid East camp, and his status was only Antony.

He was very brave and good at fighting, and he was only a day's journey from Talas City, but now he was even closer, if not less than a day's journey. ”

Arnold!

Yang Yue had never heard of this person, and when he heard Ager say that he was a powerful guy, he muttered twice and asked, "Do any of you know Arnold?" ”

Adele, Yang Wan, and Agelmer were silent.

Arnold never came to the vicinity of Talas, they had only heard of Arnold's prestige before, and they had not come into contact with him, so they did not know where Arnold was powerful.

The generals were silent, and Yang Yue knew that they didn't know.

waved his hand and said, "I don't know, Zhao Xuanhu, is the military camp outside the city properly deployed?" ”

"The emperor can rest assured, the army entered the city, Attila still led the army to patrol in the barracks, according to the emperor's orders, outside the barracks, dug a lot of trenches and traps, covered with earth-shaking thunder, if Arnold led the army to come, dare to sneak attack the barracks, they will inevitably be in the air, by the earth-shaking thunder bombardment, at that time, the Tang army in the city poured out of the nest, a battle to destroy the other party."

"Good!"

Yang Yue said with satisfaction.

According to his idea, the main force of the Tang army hid in the city, using the Tang army camp as a bait, and when Arnold led the army to attack the Tang army camp, the Tang army quickly killed and taught the other party a hard lesson.

Looking up at Adele, Yang Wan, Ager, Yang Yue said: "Yang Wan, Ager, you find a few people in the city, let them pass on the military uniforms of the Sassanids, let them all be at the west gate, wait for Arnold to lead the army to come, let them talk to Arnold, and refuse the reinforcements led by Arnold outside the city gate as much as possible!" ”

"Whoa!" Yang Wan, Ager's jaw head!

At this time, they vaguely guessed what Yang Yue's purpose was.

If Yang Yue's plan can succeed, it will soon hit the reinforcements led by Arnold.
