The Tang army divided its troops in the land of Persia, had sufficient supplies, and spent a happy and peaceful Spring Festival. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The war with the Great Cannibals was suspended, and the Tang Army remained vigilant, patrolling with horse-drawn sleds and human sleds.

However, the Great Cannibals did not attack, and they were busy transporting supplies to the cities in case of a major war in the coming year.

Trains were used to transport a large number of troops and horses to places where supplies gathered or warmer areas for the winter before the snow fell in winter.

Wei Xi doesn't care about shipping at all, as long as everyone is doing well.

Everyone eats and drinks well, sleeps well, and dresses warmly, which is better than anything else.

Compared with the happiness of the Tang people, the white-clothed people from the caliph to the small people feel that the winter is cold and the days are unbearable!

The people lacked food, clothing, and fuel, and when it snowed in winter, it was extremely cold in the house, and even Damascus was frozen to death more than 300 people overnight!

In other places, more people died of freezing and starvation, and the Tang army made many fields in the Great Food Country lose their harvest, even the fruit trees were cut down, and the trees that could be used as fuel were also cut down, and then there was the destruction of production, such as the coal production base of the Great Food Country, within the scope of the Tang Army's attack, it would definitely be destroyed!

In this way, the people in China have spent a cold winter, even the landlords and old fortunes are no exception, they have money, but they have no materials, and they can't buy it with money!

At that time, logistics was not as developed as the future society, such as transporting food for thousands of miles, and there was no one in ten... All of them were eaten by the transporters halfway through.

Moreover, there are so many places where there is a shortage of food, although there is Egyptian grain to help, but the transportation is weak, and even worse, there is a shortage of people in the country!

There are many people who have been killed, enlisted, and fled, and the two river basin areas are destined to have a difficult winter.

As the Supreme, Caliph Abdul Malik naturally does not have the problem of material scarcity, others are cold, but he is cold!

The battle is like this, how can he still be happy, all he thinks about all day long is how to defeat Datang.

Yusuf, the chief general of the two river valleys, was recalled by him many times to perform war games, and the two went back and forth on the map, with the caliph acting as the Tang army, using the power of the Tang army to attack the two river valleys to see how he defended.

They rehearsed the decisive battle between the two armies, but the Tang army had the advantage of infantry and cavalry, and came to the Great Food Army to sneak attack from a distance, trying to break the Tang Iron Horse (horse on the rails), the result was even worse, and the soldiers were annihilated by the Tang cavalry as soon as they were dispatched.

In the end, it was the strategy of "steadily defending and counterattacking" to wear down the strength of the Tang army, and after the Tang army was slacking off or suffering too many casualties, it would take action to destroy the Tang army.

It can only be like this, which means that the Tang army will be raging for a long time, and it will not be a taste for the caliph.

Before the Tang Army, he was a promising monarch, waged wars of conquest abroad, extended Arab control to North Africa, and made considerable achievements in domestic affairs, including the unification of language and currency, as well as the suppression of heretical sects, ensuring the unity of the country, and so on.

It's a pity that his million-strong army invaded the East, and after a complete loss, he made a mistake, and he was all overwhelmed.

The Tang army captured the city of Abadan and controlled the estuary of the two rivers, which made him so worried that he could not sleep at night.

He was especially worried about the westward advance of the main force of the Tang Army, once they arrived, the "steady counterattack" was really effective, in fact, he had no bottom in his heart.

The consequences of the defeat, this flower and country left him, how could he be willing!

……

As soon as spring began, the weather was only slightly warmer, and Wei Xi's system was busy up and down.

The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain went first, and the railways were used to transport all kinds of materials to the west, and the warehouses near the front line were bulging like inflated balloons, and the logistics department of the Tang Army was desperately filling them with things.

Grain, grass, weapons and armor, military supplies, etc. continue to arrive, in addition to the looting outside the pass, there are many of the Taiping princess's purchases in the pass, she wrote to Wu Zetian, got a huge wealth of two million taels of silver for use before the army!

The money was spent like flowing water, in exchange for a large amount of military funds sent to the west, from the east to the west of the train, day and night, standing on the Yumenguan station, seeing the trains sent out one after another, the frequency of the train is large, it is frightening.

Then there will be a large number of horses ready to be sent to the front, and before the sergeants are mounted for battle, they will have a month of happy days: eating beans, hay pipes.

As a Tang person, how could he abandon the opportunity to ride a horse in spring and summer to bully the fat enemy horse!

The developed agriculture of the Tang people (the three major characteristics of the Tang people: the farming nation, as long as there is land, they will plant things, they will live if they plant, and they will harvest more if they live; The infrastructure madman, with its own attributes to repair the earth, actually extended the railway from the coast of the East China Sea for thousands of miles, directly to the two river basins, or a double line! The black-bellied rabbit, seemingly harmless to humans and animals, has expanded its land from the banks of the Yellow River to occupy the best land in the East)

The beans came in trucks and columns, and God knows where Princess Taiping got so many beans, so many that they could flow into a river!

The horses gulped down the beans and chewed so loudly that after two or three weeks they became shiny and refreshed!

Be prepared for a fat horse to run strongly.

……

In the winter of last year, the army ordered a large number of soldiers, and a large number of reservists and government soldiers were prepared, and they were all given a military booklet, and they were given "endurance training", "strength training" and weapon operation training according to the instructions in the manual.

The Chinese's patience, obedience to the overall situation, and obedience to orders enable them to do great things.

In the spring, the troops began to assemble, and the recruits assembled very quickly, showing high morale, and training very seriously and hard, even if it was a boring event such as running 3,000 meters in a row, doing 300 push-ups, or archery for a morning.

The training ground was in full swing, driving away the cold of early spring.

Wang Xiaojie, the army director, told Wei Xi the reason: "Everyone knows that you can win the battle with you!" That's why they believe in you, 'sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime'! ”

A commander who can win battles is right to say anything, and it's absolutely right to follow along!

Wei Xi said that he must defeat the big cannibal this year, he will do what he says, and the previous victory is a guarantee, so everyone will follow him to fight, just wait for the money, land and women, and wait for the promotion of officials!

It's like the god of gambling said: Everyone bet big with me, and the package wins!

So everyone followed him to bet on his pants, working hard and sweating a little.

"Oh!" Wei Xi said in a low voice: "If I say that the sun comes out of the west, they will believe it!" ”

Wang Xiaojie said hesitantly: "If you sell them, they will help you with some money!" ”

Then he added, "Including me!" I'll count the money for you, too! ”

"I'm embarrassed to say that!" Wei Xi is rare and humble.

He has his own aura of victory, which can naturally encourage morale, so that his subordinates blindly obey him, and he commands like an arm and a finger, and he wields freely.
