The general who led the reinforcements was the former general of the Great Food who conquered Constantinople, Lazahan, and he was also a general who could fight well, as Cheng Boxi's deputy leader, after meeting, he said stupidly: "General Cheng, you are happy, poor brothers are afraid of you, afraid that you will see your corpse, or the Franks drag you out to parade the streets!" ”

It's angry to think about it, a dignified general is the vanguard, so that everyone is in a mess, although the enemy is chaotic, our army is also a mess!

Lazahan said that he was very rude, but Cheng Boxi took the blame, as if he didn't hear what he said, and changed the topic and said, "How many soldiers have you brought?" ”

"150,000 people, 30,000 cavalry!" Razakhan replied.

"Good!" Cheng Boxi said happily.

"Go ahead?" Razakhan asked worriedly, if he really went crazy, he would have to be accompanied.

The military order is like a mountain, and the gods are afraid,

Cheng Boxi said: "Okay, everyone rest, get the road right, and the cavalry will harass them!" ”

……

The topography of the Frankish kingdom is essentially derived from the old land of Gaul (France), which has been developed over the years, and the surrounding area has rough roads to resist the Tang invasion.

Now that the Tang army has entered the hinterland of the Frankish kingdom, although it only has 30,000 cavalry, it will immediately make the Franks suffer!

The Franks were brave and good at fighting, but their horses were clearly not adapted to the rhythm of the Don Cavalry's attack.

Tang Qi will never fight hard with superior forces, they will only fire arrows from afar, so that the Franks are unable to defend themselves.

The key point is that the arrows of the Tang cavalry were poisonous, and after the brave Franks were hit by the arrows, there were many people infected with fever, which made the Franks extremely angry.

Once made the white-clothed cannibal have a headache again, Tang rode back and forth like the wind, raging everywhere, killing people when he saw them, and riding into the field to eat wheat!

The crops in the field were about to ripen, and they didn't want the Tang cavalry to come and wreak havoc, and the 30,000 cavalry had already taken over the Franks.

At that time, the Franks wanted to fight Verdun again after resting, but they did not realize that the Tang cavalry would not fight at all, but roared to various places, so that the Franks had to divide their troops to guard, and there was no way to talk about the second battle of Verdun.

While the Franks hate, they are not afraid on the surface, but they also have a certain psychological shadow... The other side attacked the Paris region!

Paris, the hinterland of the Frankish kingdom, the Tang cavalry rushed in, and immediately there was a beacon everywhere.

Standing on the walls of Paris and looking down, I saw that the neighboring villages were on fire, and the Tang Cavalry was looting, setting fire to houses and burning supplies, snatching beautiful women and killing men!

The Franks have troops, and there are a lot of them!

But as soon as Tang rode away, what was the use of not being able to catch up with them.

The Franks hated to crush steel teeth, and they used to ambush them, but the Tang army came and went quickly, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they ran away, and it was difficult to ambush them.

They also once formed a cavalry brigade, and more than one person rode to pursue Tang Cai.

I gave up after chasing it for three days, not the material to play this technique!

Tang Qi's equestrian skills are skillful, riding and shooting are superior, the Franks can't play war horse PK at all, and they don't have the kind of recurve riding bow that Tang Army has, Tang Army shoots two arrows, they can't return one arrow, how to fight!

Fortunately, when the winter of this year came, Tang Qi shrank back to spend the winter, and the Franks finally breathed a sigh of relief.

……

The next year, after the spring flowers bloomed, the snow melted, the sun came out, and the road became solid, Tang Qi poured in like a raging tide!

Wei Xi personally led an army of 400,000 to arrive, and he rode in half!

Even in winter, the engineers of the Tang Army were still not idle, they braved the snow to build roads and bridges, and worked hard with the spirit of working hard!

The winter in Europe is very cold, but the Tang army is very motivated, and while doing a good job of frost prevention and supply, it actively clears snow, opens roads, breaks mountains, repairs roads, and most importantly, builds two railways!

In order to complete the project as soon as possible, the Tang army used explosives to open the mountain, blow up the boulders, break them and transport them away.

When spring came, the railroad had already taken shape, and by the time the army was dispatched, the railroad was ready for transport, and the locomotive of the locomotive gasped every day to transport the manpower and supplies from the rear to Verdun.

Add more than 100,000 cavalry to wreak havoc, and the situation in the entire Frankish kingdom will be completely eroded!

Wei Xi personally presided over the war against the Frankish kingdom, and the steps were orderly.

Step 1: Cavalry attacks everywhere, disrupts production, and seriously creates an atmosphere of terror.

The Franks were restless about food and lodging, the horns and chimes of the Tang cavalry could be heard everywhere, and the fighting methods of the Hu people, which had given the Central Plains Dynasty a headache, fell on the heads of the Franks, and they had even more headaches.

Because they don't have the defensive strength of the Central Plains Dynasty!

The Central Plains Dynasty is good at building, building cities to resist Hu riding, the city wall is tall, Hu Qi is difficult to break,

There is also strong armor, steel spearhead and sharp knife, and the important thing is that the foot bow is better than the Hu cavalry riding bow! (This has been verified in the Han Dynasty, Li Lingshuai infantry 5,000, with a bow against 80,000 Hun cavalry, if not the arrows, the Huns could not help them at all)

What do the Franks have?

They were born barbarians, and in the tide of the destruction of Rome they seized the territory, but the scientific and technological civilization of Rome did not accept it, the technology was not high, and the productivity was backward.

As a result, Tang Qi was beaten!

Pepin II, who was sitting in Paris, received countless alarms from inside and outside the four countries, as if there were enemies everywhere, and there were enemies everywhere, and he couldn't laugh or cry, so he simply ignored them!

But it can't be ignored, the Tang army has entered the second phase of the war, oppressing the Franks everywhere!

This time, the infantry went out to attack the easily broken cities, besieged key cities, and several large cities received critical information.

Sensing that the situation was not right, Pepin II led an army of 300,000 to fight Verdun.

As soon as the army left Paris, they encountered 150,000 Tang cavalry coming from all directions, and arrows were shooting like pouring water!

Shoot in the morning and shoot in the evening, endlessly, and the Franks are very dazed as they watch out for arrows flying all the time: "Why are there so many arrows for them!" ”

Not only arrows, but the Tang army's favorite thing was to shoot rockets into the Frankish barracks at night, and to shoot thunder cannons at high places to places where there were many Franks!

The problem was serious, the rocket caught fire, so that the Franks had to fight the fire and could not sleep at night.

In a crowded place, you can imagine the fun: a cannon head explodes around you at close range...

Boom!

It was dizzy to be bombarded, and no one wanted to suffer the next time after suffering it once.

What's even more terrifying is the flying sky

Less than five days after the sortie, the army had to turn back to Paris.

The Franks no longer dared to move, they strengthened the city defenses in the main cities, dug deep trenches, and prepared for battle.

Wei Xi dispatched the main force and went straight to Paris. He's going to hit it hard, he's not so stupid.

The cavalry made a great detour and went around behind the fortified city of the Franks, where there were countless villages and towns, where there were no fortified moats, and the hastily built defenses were not worth mentioning.

And Wei Xi's main infantry was stationed under the city of Paris, and he also built deep ditches and thick fortresses, and did not fight.

As a result, the Franks were in an awkward position, and there were rare cases of local battles running out of food earlier than the Don Army fighting away!
