Xue Rengui really wanted to cry...... I also want to laugh a little......

As a general of the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to laugh...... But as a general, he wanted to cry......

Why? The main reason is that before he led the army to join the Persian army, Xue Wanche secretly told him that as the general of the Tang Dynasty, he should use the Persians to charge into battle without hesitation, the more they die, the better it is for us, don't listen to the provisions on the paper, it is all false, once it comes to fundamental matters, who cares if you are dead or alive? I know one, grab land, grab people, grab property, fuck it!

Xue Rengui felt that he should implement Xue Wanche's instructions, if Xue Rengui three years ago, it is estimated that he would not agree to Xue Wanche's such a despicable strategy, but three years later, Xue Rengui has also been in the army for a long time, and he has his own opinions and considerations for these things, he has become a qualified general, and the innocent little boy at the beginning is no longer there, and is replaced by a black-bellied general who is more blackened than Du He.

So he couldn't laugh at the fact that the Persian heavy cavalry army was attacked by the Arabs and lost half of the grain and grass, half of the Persian heavy cavalry army was wiped out because of this, and the strength of the Persians was also hit hard, half of the grain and grass were gone, and half of the constraints were reduced, and the task was completed somewhat.

However, with the loss of 50% of the grain and grass, for Xue Rengui, he had to face a choice between marching or waiting for the grain and grass on the spot, which was also thanks to the fact that he didn't believe in the Heavy Cavalry Corps, so he put half of the grain and grass in the Chinese army and handed it over to the Tang army for protection. The remaining half was used to appease the noisy heavy cavalry, and as a result, the Arabs did not know the location of this heavy cavalry army and the grain and grass they escorted, and raided at night!

By the time Xue Rengui arrived with reinforcements, the Arabs had fled without a trace, and the entire 30,000 Persian heavy cavalry regiments were beaten miserably. All the grain and grass were destroyed, Xue Rengui estimated that this was also a unique event in the three-way army, and then Xue Rengui looked at the commander of the Persian army with a tiger face, the old guy was very embarrassed with a red face, and then agreed to Xue Rengui, and ordered all the heavy cavalry troops to return north, go to other places to garrison, withdraw from the war, and then give up the command of the war.

Xue Rengui nodded with satisfaction. After expelling the 30,000-strong heavy cavalry, the total strength of the Persian legion dropped to 150,000, but without the intervention of that group of fools, without the involvement of his pig teammates, Xue Rengui could completely let go of his hands and feet, and he could not worry about running out of food before the next batch of grain and grass arrived, he ordered the army to advance all the way, without giving the Arabs another chance to attack him.

There was also a night attack by the Arab army. Xue Rengui, who had been discovered a long time ago, secretly set up an ambush and wiped them out. Easily took a city that was quite strong, and then marched all the way, the Persian army also exerted one hundred and two percent of its combat effectiveness, and finally arrived at the agreed meeting point on the last day of the agreed time, at that time, the Tang army and the Roman army had already met for three days.

Xue Rengui's arrival made Xue Wanche overjoyed. I was also a little surprised when I saw that the Persian army had reduced its strength by 100,000, and after careful inquiry, I learned that this was the problem of the heavy cavalry regiment again, and it was only a loss of 70,000 soldiers, and finally the 30,000 heavy cavalry was driven away by Xue Rengui and left the battle sequence. In this way, less than 400,000 of the 500,000 army remained, almost 370,000, and the losses of the Arab army in more than a month of offensive should be around 200,000.

This large-scale battle, which took more than three years, not only let the Arabs drain their blood, but also let the Persians and Romans drain their blood, counting from the Arabs' sneak attack on any Romans in Persia, in four or five years, the Romans lost at least 400,000 troops, the Persians lost at least 600,000 troops, and the Arabs lost about 700,000 troops, and the losses of the Tang army were also 780,000, together, the number of losses of the four countries actually reached nearly 2 million.

This is just a simple army loss, if you count those non-combatants, it is estimated that this number will be doubled, of course, only the number of losses of the Tang army is a simple military attrition, because this is an expeditionary force, that is, the prisoners of war slaves used to transport military supplies and materials, not a single Tang citizen was used, and all other things were borne by the Persians, and the Persian people were also considered to have suffered heavy losses, in order to support the country in the war, the population of more than 10 million was reduced by nearly three million.

The Romans were also indispensable, the battle for Syria, the battle for the Eastern Province, and the recapture of Syria caused the Roman legion to lose at least 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the three-year war made the Roman legion lose more than 200,000 soldiers, of which the civilian losses are estimated to be 780,000, which is still a small and conservative estimate.

As for the more tragic Arabs, since they were pressed and fought by three countries, both the loss of soldiers and horses and the loss of population were amazing, when he was at his strongest, that is, before the Tang army arrived in the Persian capital, the population under the rule of the Arabs reached 12 million, and the soldiers and horses were more than 1 million, after the Tang army joined the war, within three years, the number of Arab troops was reduced to less than 300,000 today, and the population dropped sharply by seven or eighty percent, either dead or looted away by the three countries, The Arab Empire was on the verge of collapse.

In three years, several large-scale wars of more than 500,000 people have completely damaged the Arab army, and one million troops have long been insufficient, and they have actually urgently expanded their army by about 500,000, but these 500,000 people have not been fought at all, so the speed of loss is also amazing, and the Tang army has captured at least 150,000 Arab young and middle-aged men to return to China as slaves, not to mention how many people and land the other two countries have gained.

The Arabs, whose population of about 12 million, is estimated to be 2 million or not is unknown now, not to mention how many troops they have, and the 370,000 soldiers of the Tang, Rome, and Persian coalition army are well-fed and well-equipped. It is also a feat that the armies of three different countries and different languages have come together because of a common enemy and eliminated the common enemy, which is also a beautiful story that can be passed on to future generations.

None of them cared what the Arab Empire, which they had united to annihilate, would think about it.

What will happen after that is not in their current considerations.

The pre-war conference was soon convened. The supreme commander and deputy marshal of the three armies gathered together, talking fiercely around a map, and then each had their own translator to translate their own words, and it was a miracle that you could find people in Persia who could speak in Chinese Chinese dialect at the same time......

They were faced with the last barrier of the capital of the Arab Empire, a fortress city, where they began to build checkpoints long before the Arabs began, probably because the capital was a flat river. It was inconvenient to guard, and the commander at that time realized that it would be bad if the capital was in danger one day, so he led the army to choose a site, and built a fortress here, leaving a special garrison, and a large population, with abundant military rations and ordnance materials, even when the Arabs were in the most danger. The 50,000 garrisons and ordnance here were also not used.

It was at this time that the fortress became the last hope of the Arabs.

The commanders of the three armies went to inspect the terrain and the guards of the fortress. The result is not optimistic, in fact, if it could be bombarded with Datang's artillery, this fortress would not last long, and there was no need to waste too many troops. The artillery shells of the Tang army are finished, and within three months, it is estimated that the artillery will not be able to be used.

The commanders of the other two armies were very depressed, and secretly scolded Xue Wanche for being a bastard, and dropped the chain at the most critical time. At this time, they actually ran out of artillery shells, and they would not doubt the authenticity of this matter, because it was impossible to charge into battle for the Tang army, and it was impossible to conceal the facts and let the Tang army die together, so this thing must be true.

Then the next most important thing is how to formulate tactical strategies, as well as the use of troops, the current ratio of the number of armies of the Three Kingdoms is more than 90,000 in the Tang Dynasty, more than 120,000 Romans, and more than 150,000 in Persians, so Xue Wanche Jian yì arranged the attack events according to the proportion of the number of troops, such as 12 days as a cycle, according to the proportion, the Tang army attacked for three days, the Roman army attacked for four days, and the Persian army attacked for five days, a total of 12 days, attacking in turns, and when the city was about to break, the three armies were dispatched together, If the city is not breached before the artillery comes, then use the artillery.

However, Xue Wanche reminded that there is still a month to go until winter, the winter is very cold, which is not good for us, and the transportation of grain and grass is also a problem, if you can end the battle as soon as possible, end the battle as soon as possible, the Arabs are building a city here, obviously trying to delay us until winter, and then use the cold climate here and the lack of food and grass to drag us down, to gain time, for us, we can catch this city before winter, and then spend the winter in the Arab capital, It's the best.

The Romans hesitated for a moment and agreed, and the old fellow of the Persian commander glanced at Xue Rengui, then pondered for a moment, touched his nose and touched the head of Guangding, and nodded.

So the plan was set, in order to show bravery and sincerity, Xue Wanche decided to let the Tang army attack first, and the trebuchet team and the Eight Bull Crossbow team, which had been silent for a long time, finally found an opportunity to vent and the opportunity to express the Xiàn......

This is a battle that has not appeared for a long time without the participation of artillery, and the Tang army that has not been given the opportunity to express itself for a long time is about to be suffocated, and it is about to be driven crazy by artillery, Xue Wanche feels that although this will cause unnecessary casualties to the army, but the psychological problems of the army analyzed by Zhang Qi do need to be paid attention to, and it may be very effective to give them the opportunity to express their strength, and more importantly, this can greatly make the Roman legions and Persian legions lose their strength and strength.

In order to achieve these goals, a small loss is acceptable.

Looking at the bloody battlefield, Xue Wanche's hand holding the reins became tighter and tighter, and Xue Rengui's hand holding the weapon became tighter and tighter, and he gradually found that he was becoming more and more like a qualified commander, ruthless enough, black enough, and willing to lose his troops in order to achieve his goal......

However, Xue Rengui suddenly felt that it was a good choice to be a fisherman...... (To be continued......)
