Chapter 1143. Get you back
The generals of the Great Min had been arguing for a long time about the whereabouts of the main forces of the Arab Empire, and the speculation of the general Saladin was quite accurate, and the Kufa line was indeed reported by the Arabs.
On the one hand, although the Arabs who trekked through the desert and worked hard, they must not be too numerous, and the provision of 10,000 people to cross the desert and the provision of 100,000 cavalry are completely two different concepts. And the Arabs retreated as soon as they were disturbed, and the conquest of the Arabian Peninsula was impossible to mention.
In terms of zero one, Li Jie is particularly confident in the defense line of the Euphrates River, more than 2,000 miles of river defense, there is a beacon tower every ten miles, 20,000 Turkic Tibetan and Han mixed cavalry patrol at any time, once the Arabs have crossed the line, this cavalry can give a fierce counterattack at the first time.
There were indeed reports of Arab cavalry attacking Kufa, but this cavalry had already been beaten back by Li Daozong, who was in charge of the break.
Just when the whereabouts of the main force of the Arab army were once again confused, Hussein told Da Min with his actions that Lao Tzu was here!
The city of Aleppo was burned down by tens of thousands of Arab light cavalry, almost all the soldiers of the two provinces were wiped out, more than 20 household officials were killed, half of the grain and grass hoarded in Aleppo were burned and half looted, and the human head frame built by the heads of civilians and soldiers at the gate of Aleppo seemed to be demonstrating to Damin all the time.
"The corpses in the city are piled up, the stench is stinking, the Arabs are brutal and killing, my Damin was captured by a string of ten soldiers, all of them tied up the long street, the Bedouin cavalry galloped back and forth, beheading its head, on the long street, the flesh and blood were blurred!"
While reading out the battle situation on the front line, the military department announced that Han Cheng had a tremor in his tone, it had been a long time since anyone had provoked the majesty of Da Min so much, the murderous scarlet eyes of the generals on both sides seemed to tear him apart, and the hand of King Min who was holding on the armrest of the dragon chair and trembling constantly made his heart tremble.
Before Han Cheng finished reading it, Sheng Lianshan, the most irritable general of Zuo Qianniuwei, had already had blue tendons on his forehead, and stood up and angrily asked for battle.
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and take Hussein's dog head for the king of Damin!"
However, Li Ji, the secretary of the military department, frowned and hesitated, and also stood up in the court, hesitantly clenching his fists and playing.
"Your Majesty, although Hussein of the Hashemite clan is scheming, he is not a murderer, and he used 20,000 weak soldiers to support the Eastern Roman Empire to confuse people's eyes and ears, and ordered his troops to attack Kufa to disturb people's attention in order to hide his army, but this time he suddenly bypassed the defense line of our army, killed our army and civilians by cruel means, and deliberately provoked the king of Min, I am afraid that there is fraud in it!"
"Hey, old Shangshu, he Hussein slaughtered more than 30,000 people in a city, and he is not a murderer! Lao Tzu saw that he was facing me and knew that he would definitely die, and if he struggled frantically before he died, he should lead the army and raze his mother's nest in one fell swoop. ”
As soon as Li Ji finished speaking, Sheng Lianshan, who stood up first, had already patted his thigh and shouted unconvinced, and this word immediately provoked Yao Geluo, Fang Yiai, Ge Shu Namu Co, Dugu Mou and a large number of iron-blooded generals to stand up and shout for support, but after listening to Li Ji's judgment, he glared at Sheng Lianshan helplessly, Li Yexu also stood up and persuaded solemnly: "Your Majesty, Li Shangshu is reasonable, please think twice." ”
Even the right servant of the Feng Pavilion who followed Li Jie's personal expedition, and the Fang Yi of the King of Shangzhu followed and persuaded the court: "Your Majesty, the Arab barbarians are extraordinary barbarians, it is time to investigate properly and make a decision." ”
The last time the imperial court despised the Arabs, more than 300,000 troops were defeated like water, and even Li Jie himself almost didn't get there, and now all the lords still remember it vividly, it is the siege of Baideng in the history of Great Fujian, and most of the courtiers who have experienced the Arabs are cautious.
Opinions were divided into two factions, everyone's eyes were expectantly and anxiously gathered on themselves to wait for their own verdict, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Jie also pinched his chin, thought deeply, and said in a deep voice for a long time: "The widow has decided, immediately send troops to Damascus, revenge!" ”
"Your Majesty! Think! Holding the wat board, Li Ji, Wang Xuance, Li Yexu and other more than a dozen courtiers suddenly became anxious, and they knelt on the ground and shouted anxiously.
But Li Jie Huoran stood up, and suddenly asked the opposing ministers.
"This time to conquer the Arab barbarians, is there still a way for the South Arabia to intercept me? Is there still a treacherous attack from the Eastern Romans? Is there anyone else who can respond to Mecca? ”
Wang Xuance, who couldn't help but listen to this, suddenly brightened up.
Now the situation has completely changed, Saladin, who cut off the back road of Damin, is still squatting outside the palace, the once glorious Monan cavalry has now disappeared, Yemen and Oman have also become the subject states of Damin, and now the cavalry of the two places is still serving under the command of Li Rang, the king of Hezhong County.
As for Byzantium? In the past two days, the Bolgars could not bear the ammunition and ran out of food, relying on the resistance of the Arabs with Anna, Simon begged hard in the Grand Palace of Antioch to surrender, and now there are 180,000 Eastern Roman troops who have taken refuge in the Great Min and have been disrupted and reorganized.
The Eastern Roman senators who had surrendered now regarded Constantine IV as a thorn in their side, and with Constantine's cruel character, once he returned to Constantinople alive, their entire families would be slaughtered.
Today, the Arab Empire is left with the birthplace of the Hejaz, and several limited provinces such as Syria, Palestine, and Jordan, which seized the Roman Empire, and even Egypt, which provided 200,000 cavalry in the last war, has now declared independence, and Egypt, which has been Christian for hundreds of years, is now changing from a hint of blueness to Christianity.
As long as Hussein, the last obstacle in front of him, is settled, the war in the entire West Asia can be completely over, so no matter what kind of conspiracy Hussein has, just fight it, and fight it anyway.
Li Ji and Wang Fangyi retreated again, Li Jie's expression became serious, and he said sternly: "Yao Geluo, generously set, where is the end of the Yan Agu?"
"The last general!" The three oldest cavalry generals in the Fujian army immediately stood up and knelt on the ground to salute, and their answers were full of excitement, and sure enough, Li Jie's order was immediately passed down like a cloud of peers.
"The three of you are the vanguard, leading the Guanning Iron Cavalry straight to Damascus, clearing all obstacles on the road, opening the road and building bridges in the mountains and rivers, and those who dare to resist the king will be killed, and there must be no mistakes!"
"The last general obeys!"
These three old partners haven't fought together for a long time, and under the jealous eyes of many other generals, the three of them were ordered out of the hall together.
Li Jie's task configuration continues.
"Sheng Lianshan, where is Li Yexu?"
"The last general!" Sheng Lianshan, who was the most active just now, stood up in a high voice, followed by Li Yexu, who still followed behind with a little worry.
"The two of them led the left and right Qianniuwei, Hengshan, Guhe and other seventy-three government troops out of the right road, outflanked the left flank of Damascus along the coast, and built ports along the way to provide shelter for our Damin navy! Make no mistake! ”
"The last general commands!"
Although the vanguard position was not obtained, it was also a good thing to get the main attack position of the right army, and it seemed that with a competitive momentum, he looked at the direction in which Guan Ningsan's three generals left, and Sheng Lianshan and Li Yexu also received the order.
"Su Dingfang, where is Xiao Kecheng?"
"You and others will lead the left and right guards out of the left road, go south along Mount Sheikh, and attack the Arab cavalry on the right flank all the way!"
"Brother Shu Namu is wrong, where is the lonely plot......"
The tasks were sent out one after another, and one general after another received the order, in fact, the earlier attack plan had been properly planned, but the temporary selection was just a candidate for the commander of the troops, but seeing that the heavy generals had almost received the order to go out, the majestic offensive of more than 600,000 troops on the Fifth Route of the Great Min seemed to have been replaced, and a general with the same old qualifications in the Fujian army was eager.
"Your Majesty, where is the last general?"
It's really like pushing a golden wall and toppling a jade pillar, Li Jie's most burly Fang Yiai hurriedly left the court, fell to his knees on the ground, and asked anxiously, Li Jie, who saw it, was stunned, and immediately shook his head in distress.
"Qing and General Qin Huaiyang Qin led the left and right military guards and the twenty-eight guards of Heshuo to stay in Antioch to ensure the safety of Antioch to the rear of the first-line army in Edessa, and watch Constantine IV! It won't be long before Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, will rush to the front line from Taixifeng, and you will cooperate with the king of Hezhong County to attack Eastern Rome! ”
These words revealed some selfishness of Li Jie, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Li Xueyan, the lord of Rencheng, will definitely follow, and Li Ling, the princess of Gaoyang, has always been inseparable from her, for the two brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, Li Jie kindly gave them a chance to reunite with their families.
Qin Huaiyang obviously showed a little embarrassment in the ambiguous smile of his colleague and lowered his head, but who knew that Fang Yiai kowtowed heavily: "The last general, please follow Your Majesty and crusade against the Arab barbarians!"
His kindness was categorically refused, Li Jie was stunned again, thought for a moment, thinking about his sister's virtue of forcing her husband Jackie Chan, Li Jie nodded understandingly.
"The widow needs a general to lead the Roman army as the pioneer of the Great Min!"
"The Last Will Go !!"
Surrendering the army is used as cannon fodder to be regarded as a conventional tradition, commanding a group of Romans who have just surrendered to send death for Damin, unintentionally need to consider the bravery, charm and mental perseverance of the generals, it is a rather troublesome task, but maybe the conquest of the Arabs is the last battle of Damin, if you don't grasp it, maybe there will be no chance for such a national war in the future, so Fang Yiai almost didn't think about it and agreed to it.
"Good!" Nodding approvingly, Li Jie immediately stood up, and said loudly: "From now on, the Ministry of War will immediately spread the gap between the horses, the Ministry of Household will mobilize the people of Antioch, the Ministry of Rites will send envoys to reprimand the Arab ethnic groups, and the Ministry of Industry will supervise the production of war equipment and armor, three days later, the vanguard will go first, and five days later, the army will go out to destroy the Arab Empire in one fell swoop!"
Arrogantly opened his mouth to destroy the people, this kind of majesty is now only in Damin, a heartfelt sense of pride rose from the heart, and hundreds of ministers also bowed down.
"Obey your orders!"
