Section 685 The Collision of Datang and Dashi (3)
The siege of the city attached by the ants was cruel, and the troops sent to the siege were similar to the death squads, and such drudgery generally did not take the main force to attack the city at the beginning, and used partial divisions and miscellaneous armies as victims.

Tribes that have been drafted and have little contact with the central government, i.e., troops without a back door;
Or, the soldiers of the Fire Seeking Country!
Huoxunguo is one of the Zhaowu countries, at first besieged by the Tang general Shi Wanchao, after his defeat, the siege of Huoxunguo was naturally relieved.
The big cannibals came to help everyone, and naturally asked everyone to help, there was money to pay, and some people to help, so Huo Xunguo sent 8,000 sergeants, 6,000 infantry, and 2,000 cavalry to help in the war.
Before going to the battle, the big cannibal demanded that 6,000 fire seeking infantry go up to attack the city!
Not from? Military law engaged!
Seeing the fierce cannibal, the infantry of the Fire Seeking Country had to go out to attack the city.
Three thousand people were lost in three days, and the great cannibals were persecuted urgently, and the overseers were on guard with swords, and those who dared to retreat were killed!
The infantry of the Fire Seeking Country were killed and wounded, and they didn't dare to say anything to the big cannibal, but they scolded Shi Jianming for being bloody!
First, the people of the country scolded Shi Jianming, and then it was the turn of the people of Kang to scold Shi Jianming.
In addition to sending 8,000 infantry to help in the battle, the Kang people were also extorted from 3 million pieces of gold, silver, copper and iron! Delivered in three days!
"What?" The envoy of Kangguo, who was originally happy to come to the labor army, heard that Abaz wanted so much wealth, it was like five thunders!
Abaz said unhappily: "With so many dead and wounded and so much military money consumed, how can our trip be in vain!" ”
"No, we'll take it ourselves" His words were extremely lethal, that's right, the Great Food Army has entered the city!
They had expected that when the Kang people came out to meet them, they would immediately line up and enter the city!
There is no way, in order to make up enough for this huge amount, the Kang people urgently mobilized, except for the allocation from the treasury, all the Kang people mobilized and donated their wealth.
In fact, Kang has money, and the royal family can pay for it, but it is impossible for the royal family to let themselves suffer so much, so everyone has a share, and everyone has a loss.
It became that the Kangguo people did not dare to complain about the big cannibals, and cursed Iwami to the point that he was not human!
scolded him for "luring the wolf into the house!" What's more, it is better to return to the Tang Dynasty at the beginning.
Datang's initial conditions were very lenient: "After returning to Shun, the local area was changed to a state and county, and everyone became a citizen of Datang, and while paying taxes to Datang, they were protected by Datang, and their children's family property was protected." ”
As for the royal family, it is no longer a royal family, but they can go to the Tang Dynasty to be officials, and their personal property only needs to be offered, at least they can keep a lot.
Now I have given three million to the big cannibal, and in the future, what will I do if I reach out and ask for it?
If there are 8,000 more troops, what about the conscription in the future?
Don't give? The other party came to pick it up!
Shi Jianming went to the capital of Kangguo once, and he couldn't go again, because the people who saw him were all salivating and the language was quite polite, so he could only stay depressed in the big food barracks!
There was no indignation in my heart: "Why bother! ”
……
Being scolded is nothing, the problem is ......
"What? Are you retreating? "Iwami is simply out of anger!
First of all, it is good to send troops to the capital of Shiguo and recover Shiguo.
Later, if there is a difficulty, then first solve the Tang Army on the front line of He Guokangguo.
It hasn't been long since the dispatch has been carried out, and the large army is about to retreat?!
What are you here to do? Armed parade? Tourism?
For him, Abaz said as good-natured as ever: "Just now I received a report that the cavalry of the Don Army Brigade wiped out three thousand of us and went to the Amu Darya!" ”
"Our reconnaissance has reported that this Tang Army unit is all cavalry, with three to fifty thousand men and horses!"
It is definitely not a small number, tens of thousands of cavalry, boundless, three to fifty thousand, it is not necessary to destroy the country, but it is not difficult to turn a country upside down.
"The fist must be withdrawn before it can be forced!" Abaz said thoughtfully.
"If Khorasan is destroyed by the Tang Army, then our logistics will be in great trouble, and we can't afford to protect it!" Abaz sighed: "The military situation is changing rapidly, and it must be dealt with in time!" ”
He stood up, put his hand on Iwami's shoulder and said, "I heard that your people are very unkind to you, but I can't help it, I must give an explanation to the Supreme Caliph!" ”
Yes, if you get three million guan, you can give an account to the caliph, otherwise even he will not be able to keep his position.
……
The big cannibals sent out troops at a superficial level, and collectively turned backwards.
There was no big battle between the two sides, and it seemed that the first collision ended in such a hurry.
Abaz did not fight brilliantly, but he was always successful, the main force was undamaged, and he was given an account of three million yuan, and the province of Khorasan west of the Amu Darya River was also unharmed, so he continued to be in charge of the army.
It is a pity that Anguo, Bi and Mi to the west of Kangguo did not accept the kindness of the big cannibals, neither surrendered to the Tang army, nor did they let the big cannibals enter the city, but they each meant two or three hundred thousand pieces of wealth and goods for the big cannibals to work for the military. (The nations were so quick to hear the news!) )
……
It was Wang Xiaojie who dared to send troops to threaten the province of Khorasan, and it was Jiang Shi, the chief of staff, who made the proposal, and the measures were very powerful.
At the military intelligence meeting of the Shiguo battalion, Jiang Zhi pointed out: "The general is not here, the troops have not been mobilized, and it is not suitable for the main force to fight a decisive battle!" ”
The generals said: "Good! ”
Wei Xi is in the army, he has the aura of "morale bonus", the more troops he envelops, the better, and he is the most suitable for a big battle and a decisive battle with the main force.
Wei Xi is not in the army, so he can be careful and run a small business.
Everyone asked, "Does the chief of staff have a strategy?" ”
"Of course!" Jiang Zhi said: "If the enemy is strong, let him be strong, and the breeze will blow the hills; The enemy is allowed to be crossed, and the bright moon shines on the river......"
The people below read it together: "He is ruthless and he is evil, and I am really angry!" ”
This is what General Wei said, he doesn't tell the source, but everyone thinks it makes sense.
Jiang Shi's hand slapped heavily on the map and said, "The cavalry is rushing to attack the Great Food Khorasan, who will go?!" ”
Wang Xiaojie stood up and said, "I'll come!" ”
……
The attack on Khorasan was essentially to encircle Wei to save Zhao and relieve the siege of the Tang army in the old capital of He, but Wang Xiaojie did not go deeper.
He only sent 3,000 light cavalry to Khorasan with great fanfare to intimidate the Great Cannibals, but the main force under his command was waiting to cut the Great Cannibals.
It is impossible to destroy the enemy in large numbers, and it is not necessary to fight with the enemy's cavalry, and choose the weak ones to fight.
……
The cavalry of the Tang Army attacked the Great Food Infantry on the rear road!
still took advantage of the afternoon (which made the big cannibals hate), the big cannibals were marching, and the Tang army even took a big nap, a hundred times more energetic.
The cavalry army, coming from all over the field, led by heavy cavalry, the army then swarmed up, simply and rudely crushed the past, and broke the enemy in one fell swoop!
The big cannibals who were attacked were actually tribal troops, with poor quality and poor equipment, and seeing the equipment of the Tang army, armed to the teeth, the big cannibals screamed, threw down their weapons, and fled backwards, and the chaos immediately began to spread, even if their officers roared, kicked, and even killed the fugitives, they could not stop their collapse.
Like a gust of wind, the Great Eclipse infantry was blown down, and what made them even more desperate was that the Great Eclipse cavalry not only did not come to their aid, but also turned their horses and fled first.
Can't help but escape, 50,000 of the 100,000 Great Food Cavalry are in the Chinese army, 30,000 in the front army, 20,000 in the rear army, but there are 50,000 cavalry in the people (so the cavalry of the Hu nationality in the north controls hundreds of thousands of people to go south, and the ancestors of the Han people can resist them, which is great enough), so the Great Food cavalry fled first, and the infantry scattered and fled.
……
When Princess Taiping and Tang Tian returned to Shijiazhuang (the new name of the old capital of Shiguo) from their vacation, they saw the happy Tang army and the tens of thousands of cannibal captives who were downcast.
This year, the collision between Datang and Da Shi ended here, the small friction between the two sides continued, and there was no big war, and Princess Taiping brought 3,000 Da Shi captives as gifts to her mother, and then beat Wei Xi up.
Wei Xi was unconvinced: "WHY? ”
Princess Taiping roared: "It's cool for you to stay in the gods, and the old lady will be scared!" ”
"I don't need you to go up and fight!" Wei Xi still dared to talk back.
"Do you want me to go up and fight? If that's the case, you're losing a lot of money! Princess Taiping taught him a hard lesson, let him pay enough for three days and three nights of public food, and she didn't let him go if she had a sore back!
