Chapter 1005. catch
There are also portals in the Fujian army, just like Xue Ne, who belongs to Zuo Jin Wuwei, and the Hezhong soldiers under Li Rang's command have some of the meaning of self-contained local military towns.
Let him lead the Hezhong Army to fight, which is equivalent to absorbing him into the Hezhong Army system, this is not only a change of name, but also involves the question of following Li Rang, the king of Hezhong County, or the prince Li Jin, and it is not his own problem, he is the son of the Xue family, and it also involves his father Pingyang Hou Zuo Jin Wuwei General Xue Li, a few days ago he was thinking about how to deal with Li Rang, but he didn't expect to be found by Li Rang like this.
It seemed that seeing the worries on his sad face, Li Rang was not annoyed, and slapped his face lightly with more and more statesmanlike demeanor and said: "Gu is now the chief of the Mesopotamian front march, commanding the front-line armies, General Lang will not disobey the military order, right?"
With Li Rang's slap, a servant girl turned out from behind, held a letter in both hands in front of Xue Ne, pointed to his heart, and Li Rang said: "This is a letter sent by Ling Zun Tuogu, Lang Jiang is okay to read it."
My father has also decided how to stand in line? His heart was beating wildly, and Xue Ne couldn't care about being polite, so he hurriedly opened the family letter......
At ten o'clock in the evening, the huge front line of the Fujian army was lively again, and the quartermaster Sima distributed military rations and materials such as dried meat and cheese flatbread to the barracks one by one, and the battalions who knew what this meant were nervous, and the infantry sorted out their outfits and mounted on their behalf, and the cavalry even pulled their mounts to the hillside in groups to slip around as a warm-up.
At this time, two miles outside the camp, a cavalry of about 3,000 Fujian troops was also moving westward at a rapid speed, the overseer army was in front of the cavalry, after the battle of Shiraz, the only surviving Xue Ne's personal soldier Xue Tongmei danced, as if he had been promoted, he was full of smugness in front of the shouting, and the majesty was waved for a while, before he returned to the main general with his horse, full of joyful compliments.
"Childe's trip is a great luck, with these thousands of fierce Central Asian barbarians, go to the vicinity of Qom City to cut down hundreds of heads, then Childe's official position will have to rise by a level, and the general will have to be impressed."
"Dayun is a fart, and he's been kicked out of the house." With the official seal of the Yue clan town that he had just received hanging on his waist, he staggered and walked while Xue Ne said with a depressed expression.
Xue Rengui did come with a letter from home, but it was not to tell Xue Ne how to do it, but it was said in the book that he separated the family and gave his younger brother Xue Shen the new clan residence in Jingshi, which made the meaning clear, he, the son of the Xue family, was expelled and no longer had the right to inherit the patriarch.
Kicked out of the house.
Xue Li also has his considerations in doing this, the investment principle of not putting all the eggs in one basket, even if the political struggle falls in the future, it will not lose everything.
Still, Xue Ne could feel a sense of loss of abandonment.
In this era, the head of the family is heavenly, listening to Xue Ne's words, Xue Tong, the pro-guard, also has a pale face, and mutters in disbelief.
"What can I do?"
"What should I do, cold salad" Xue Ne was suddenly annoyed for a while, and shouted with an angry whip: "My father didn't also fight from a small soldier, and now the court is recruiting the Arab Hu people, it is the time when my generation has made meritorious contributions, and the master does not believe that he can't fight a new Xue Mansion."
Seeing the high-spirited appearance of his main general, Xue Tong also burned his fighting spirit and stepped forward to supervise the army again.
However, taking advantage of the night, after the cavalry marched for more than ten miles, Xue Ne suddenly patted his head again, and was disturbed too much by the woman named Han Xiaomo today, and he actually forgot to tell Li Rang about the time bomb in the Confucian soldiers, Li Chenxi.
Stopping the war horse and looking back at the brightly lit Fujian army camp a few times, Xue Ne finally chose to swallow the words back into his stomach.
Now Saladin's expedition to Basra is indeed a good opportunity, once the main force of Damin defeats Saladin, the southeast Arabian Peninsula, and the road to Damin is smooth, if Li Chenxi divides the god of coach Li Rang at this time, it will not be easy to seize this fighter.
In silence, Admiral Xue Ne's new reinforcements quickly disappeared into the night.
A few days later, Qom City.
Even if many junior officers in Yueshi Town were instructed by Li Rang to obey Xue Ne, as an airborne officer, they still needed to run in with the local army, so after Xue Ne returned to Qom City, he stayed for two more days to understand the situation under his command in detail, and then led the army to set off and attack the border of the Arabs.
Li Rang's hand is very wise, since the Arabs sent cavalry to intercept and kill the Basra envoys, Saladin must have known the possibility of the Fujian army getting the news, and the Fujian army, which was engrossed in the dynamics of the Fujian army, quickly retreated to the desert nest, and it was difficult to find it again.
After all, there are more than 1,000 Arab tribal cavalry invaded the western border of Min, and also fought with the border defense of the Min army, if the Min State is left alone, it will make Saladin suspicious, wondering if there is a new round of offensive in Damin, 3,000 cavalry, say no more, say no less, just show a retaliatory attitude of Min, and do not expand the war.
For several days in a row, the army led by Xenne was also like the Arab horse bandits, divided into several routes, and launched a continuous attack on the Bedouin tribes near the Shatt al-Arab, successively breaking four tribes, and plundering three or four hundred people, camels, sheep, and thousands of horses.
This action really confused Saladin, and ordered the Bedouin tribes on the Shatt al-Arab to retreat, surrendering the territory along the Shatt al-Arab that had been fought for eight years in the Iran-Iraq war more than a thousand years later to Damin, and still supervising the army to continue to attack the city of Basra.
On the front line, the scout cavalry who scattered out continued to report the situation of the battle near Basra to the Chinese army in the middle of the Zagros Mountains, and after determining that Saladin's main force was still near Basra, they had been discussing for many days, and Li Rang, who had been preparing for a long time, brazenly sent troops, and the army was divided into three routes, day and night, and specially selected the edge of the desert and salt desert to send troops.
In October of the first year of Kaiyuan, the army set out, and on the 8th, Guo Zhifeng's division on the left road took the lead in detouring to the small city of Kathtak north of Basra, and blocked the road for Saladin's cavalry to withdraw troops to Mesopotamia and Kufa.
70,000 Fujian troops, almost everyone has horses, a huge army formation suddenly appeared near the alluvial plain where Basra was flying, the rolling banners were like a forest of fire trees in the sunset, the horses' hooves trampled on the earth violently, rumbling within a few miles of shock, suffocating all the way, and the Fujian troops who let go of the ban on people and horses also roared to release the war spirit in their chests.
It's like you've caught this desert fox
The roar of the men and horses seemed to have dispersed as if the clouds in the sky had dispersed, and suddenly an innumerable number of enemy troops appeared on his side like dark clouds, and the shock was self-evident to Saladin, who was attacking the city of Basra.
The shaking was great, and the incredible staring for a long time, on the same day, the Arab tribal army from Oman and Yemen immediately retreated five miles, camped under the fierce gaze of the Fujian cavalry, and put on a defensive posture, and then the elders of the various tribes gathered together one after another, quarreling together.
Even in the middle of the night, the Min army could hear the noise of the Arabs.
Basra still has the remains of the Persian city walls, the loess rammed city walls are full of hedgehog thorn-like arrows, the walls are densely packed, and in some places they have been damaged by ballistas, and a pothole filled with blood-red spots, and the fierce fighting of the past few days is undoubtedly a burden to the isolated satrapy of Basra after the death of Caliph Huj.
It's just that the Omani Arab tribes who have entered the army have been seen away, and then they look at the Great Min cavalry from a distance, like a forest, slowly advancing, and the old Abbasid governor Jud, who has been fighting in the army since the era of the second caliph, is full of lamentation.
It is easy to ask God to send God, and he has no choice but to ask for help from his old enemy Damin, and he doesn't know whether this move is right or wrong.
On the other hand, Xue Nebu, who had perfectly completed the task of luring the enemy, also received an order to go south to participate in the battle.
In the morning, the west gate of Qom City.
After plundering for several days, the soldiers of the Hezhong Army, who had gained a lot of money, were a little reluctant and distrustful, and sold the booty and slaves they got to the hands of the Damin merchants who came to hear the news, as if they smelled carrion, and the money and goods they got were also delivered to their families through the money village.
The more than seven layers of the Hezhong army are recruited by the local people of various tribes in Central Asia as soldiers, and the general generals like to bring the kind of lonely outlaws who have no family affairs and one person to feed the whole family and not go hungry, but the Fujian army recruits soldiers but likes to recruit in the big family, especially the man who has become the head of the family.
Outlaws may be really fierce when they are desperate, but once the form is not good, running away and betraying is also a single, maybe it will also shake the original military heart, and the soldiers who have become a family will become more disciplined when they fight for the descendants of their families, and they can receive Fujian-style education as soldiers, which is more conducive to the improvement of the social status of local families.
Ancient Rome spread Roman culture into Gaul, Germanic, Greek and other cultures in this way, and Li Jie only borrowed from history.
In the midst of the busyness, the main general Xue Ne was also saying goodbye.
"This trip to the Hezhong Army, maybe Lao Tzu won't be able to come back for a while, I'm not here, the Confucian soldiers will be handed over to you, Lao Tzu doesn't say that he will live up to my hopes or something, just a sentence, don't let down your own piece of youthful blood."
After all, this is the first army he brought out, and when he left, Xue Ne was really moved with some true feelings, and sincerely patted the shoulders of Song Jing, Yao Chong, Cui Parker and several other major officers, and persuaded them.
I didn't expect the parting to become so fast, Song Jing's fat man's eyes were also red, and he solemnly made a military salute before he stood up, and promised loudly: "General rest assured, even if Song Jing dies, the banner of the Confucian soldiers will not fall."
nodded with satisfaction, but looking at Li Ming, who was trying his best to hide in the crowd, Xue Ne rubbed his temples with a headache again, and shouted loudly with a raised voice.
"Han Yushi's car is about to leave, is there anyone who has volunteered to escort him?"
These words have been shouted since Xue Ne came back yesterday, not to mention the officers of the Confucian soldiers, even Han Kuang, who was riding on a horse and leaning on his daughter to hit the big luck, was confused, but unfortunately, Xue Ne was in a hurry, but Li Ming hid in a position back.
Finally helpless, quite sympathetic glanced at Song Jing, who was still dazed and ignorant, Xue Ne finally arched his fist: "Everyone, Ben will go"
"Congratulations to the General."
In the neat sound of farewell, Xue Ne turned over and got on his horse, and rushed out of Qom City in the lead, worthy of being well-trained, under the orders of the troops and brigade leaders, the soldiers of Yueshi Town, who were still entangled with the merchants at the entrance of the street market, hurriedly said a few words, and rushed to the city gate without hesitation.
Three thousand iron horses, rolling south.
The second great war of the Eastern civilizations that tried to conquer the Arab civilization seemed to intensify with their footsteps......
