Chai Shao was led by Issam to the side of the unknown path, with the signs on the map, Chai Shao unexpectedly found that the location of this path in the city of Cadisiyah is very special, it is in the dead corner of the entire Cadisiyah defensive circle, as if digging a tunnel, digging from the enemy's position to the rear of his own position, the feeling of a sudden attack, very hidden, difficult for people to find.

Then, Chai Shao walked along the path step by step under the leadership of Issam, and as he walked, he realized that this path could not pose him a great threat, unless more than a thousand people could cross here, and then it would have enough impact on him, the Arabs did not have artillery, otherwise as long as five people, one artillery crossed here, and aimed at the Qadisiyah headquarters with one shot, the war would be over.

The Arabs have no artillery, they don't have enough long-range weapons, their long-range strike weapons have been destroyed by the artillery team, and they are useless at all, and they can only choose death squads if they want to come, the scale of hundreds of people, surprise attacks, so as to cause partial interference, or bring torches or something, and attack the city of Qadisiyah with fire, I have to say, if this is still at night, it is indeed a very terrible tactic.

Chai Shao doesn't know whether Omar knows the preservation of this path, but he can't assume that Omar doesn't know the storage of this path, which is very irresponsible, and at the same time, Omar doesn't know whether Chai Shao knows the storage of this path. This is the same even in modern warfare, where a good manager is more important than high technology.

Umar and Chai Shao made a decision at the same time, Umar decided to carefully select the daredevils to carry flammable materials to raid the city of Qadisiyah at night, set fire to it, and caused great confusion among the Tang and Persian forces in the city, so as to launch an attack all night and take the entire city of Qadisiyah in one fell swoop; And Chai Shao's decision was to dispatch a team of elite soldiers and horses, and hand it over to a crack general to lead the army to stick here, and the embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill. A small oversight. will cause the entire battle to collapse.

Chai Shao would not allow himself to make such a mistake, nor would he allow the city he had been operating for months to be breached so easily, and he also hoped that reinforcements from within the country would arrive, and then let him have enough energy to think about how to annihilate the living forces of the Arab Legion on a large scale and in a planned manner. Thus extinguishing this retaliatory counteroffensive of the Arab legions. It was the Tang Dynasty that had enough energy to run the Persian Empire.

This is the first land for Datang to enter the world!

It is precisely because of this consideration. Chai Shao would defend Cadishia so dedicatedly, even ignoring the complaints of some soldiers, even foreigners. It is also necessary to protect without counting a qiē, what is this for? Chai Shao can't reveal His Majesty's meaning, that will have a disastrous effect, so in order to appease the dissatisfaction of the army, he can only stand at the front of everything, fight with the soldiers at the front, and kill the enemy together.

He handed over this task to Li Zhen, the most cautious among a group of young generals, and he said: "Li family boy, your father is the number one in the Tang army, even I have to obey his dispatch, your father is so brilliant, as his son, you can't disgrace him, so I gave you this task, you have to take the five hundred soldiers assigned to you by the old man, firmly guard this opening, you don't try to pass through this opening, you can't come back after passing through this opening, your task is to let no one go, From this opening, enter the city of Cadisiyah, and that's it. ”

Li Zhen was obviously a little uncomfortable, just now he was still commanding the crossbow team in the army of ten thousand to shoot the Arab army desperately, but now he is going to take five hundred people in this secluded place to do this kind of mindless thing, he is very dissatisfied, very incomprehensible: "Marshal, the last general asked himself that there was no dereliction of duty, he did everything himself, he didn't dare to have any slackness, and he dared to ask why the general treated the last general like this?" ”

Chai Shao sighed and said: "It is precisely because you dare not have any slack that the old man handed over this task to you, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, do you understand?" ”

Li Zhen was puzzled: "But, what does this have to do with the last general?" ”

Chai Shao pointed to the gap: "If there is no one to guard, here, it will be an anthill!" ”

Li Zhen was shocked: "Where does this lead to?" ”

"To the outside of Qadisiyah, to the Arab Legion station. ”

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said in shock: "Dashuai, do you think that the Arabs will ......?"

Chai Shao nodded and said: "Indeed, that's it, the commander of the marching army must think about everything in the worst direction, and must not have any idea of luck, luck cannot be accused, and the battle situation can be accused, you are the most cautious person among the generals under my command, so this commander wants to hand over this anthill to you to destroy, if this is an anthill, you are responsible for killing all the ant thieves!" ”

Li Zhen was silent for a while, then knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general will obey the orders of the commander!" ”

At the same moment, Umar handed his saber to a tall warrior and said to him: "This sword, which the Prophet gave me before he left, told me that this sword has the thoughts of the Prophet and Allah, and they have poured their souls into this sword, and they have always been with me, and now, I give you this sword, and you will take the five hundred warriors behind you, and use this sword to tear apart the defensive ring of Qadisiyah!" When the city was on fire, it was when I led my followers to break through the city of Cadisiyah! ”

The tall and strong general took the sword handed by Umar with an excited face, stared at it for a long time, and said: "The last general will definitely use this sword to cut off the head of the enemy commander and present it to the caliph!" ”

Omar nodded in satisfaction and watched the five hundred warriors leave.

Perhaps it was the same strong commander, even the number of troops and horses mobilized was the same, one attacking, one defending, and the attacking side was the second fierce general in the Arab Legion after Khalid, of course, only fierce. He is strong in force, not in his ability, and he has always surpassed Khalid in terms of charging, so Omar gave him this task.

And Li Zhen in the Tang army camp, he is the most cautious young general in the Tang army camp, if you talk about force, he can't rank at all, he is the last in the ranks of the four tyrants of the military academy, not to mention the four tyrants, just say the entire first batch of graduates. In terms of force value, Li Zhen is also not ranked. But marching and fighting you just rely on weakness will not work, Li Zhen's cautious characteristics and careful characteristics are very popular with the generals, and they all think that Li Zhen is a father's style, and his martial arts are not strong. But the wisdom is superb.

At the beginning, Suning openly and publicly identified the two people with the highest achievements among the disciples of Jiangmen. One is Li Boyao. The other is Li Zhen.

He is cautious, good at thinking, and good at layout. Good at using troops, he is not good at fighting in person, but when it comes to marching formations, he is a good hand, the infantry army array commanded by Meng Yu is improved by his hands, and the characteristics of attacking and defending are greatly enhanced, during the grassland battle, he even led a 1,000-person army formation to drag the Western Turkic iron cavalry of 5,000 people, and dragged Su Dingfang's army to arrive, and the 5,000 people were dumplings.

So after handing over the five hundred elite infantry to Li Zhen, Chai Shao left here with confidence, leaving Li Zhen and five hundred elite soldiers, for these five hundred elite soldiers, Li Zhen's arrangements were very cautious, the first wave of commandos, the second wave of resistance, the third wave of crossbow teams, the fourth wave of reserves, and the one hundred soldiers and horses under his own command, and the last hand-to-hand combat army.

He also explored the terrain here, easy to defend and difficult to attack, a man should be a pass, and at the same time can only pass guò one person, no matter how many soldiers and horses can not be spread, but it is easy to become a live target, Li Zhen arranged a lot of crossbowmen to ambush here, as long as they see the Arab soldiers and horses, they will immediately release arrows, and they will not be soft.

Of course, for such an arrangement, the five hundred elite soldiers did not understand very well, Chai Shao did not make it clear to them, they were pulled out of the battlefield of the war, lost the opportunity to make great contributions, and were thrown into this secluded place, exactly the same idea as Li Zhen at the beginning, the task of this explanation was naturally handed over to Li Zhen, and Li Zhen was responsible for stabilizing the morale of the army.

"General, we didn't make a mistake, did we?" A sergeant asked.

Li Zhen nodded: "Of course it's right, there is a lot of credit." ”

The sergeant then asked, "Then why was I transferred here by the marshal?" It's better to engage the enemy on the walls, isn't it? Why not engage the enemy on the walls? Fighting on the walls of the city can kill and injure a larger number of enemy troops, so why are we here? General, why are you here? Why didn't the general command the resistance to the enemy on the city walls? ”

The soldiers all gathered around, it could be seen that they were all confused, and dissatisfied, Li Zhen sighed, pointed to the small gap and said: "This is here, this small gap, although it is inconspicuous, but you should have also heard of the saying that "the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the anthill", the reason why the general was transferred here, and the reason why you were transferred here is because this is the anthill on the embankment of our army's defense line!" ”

The armies were puzzled, and the sergeant continued, "Anthill? Why is it called an anthill? The humble post also asked the general to solve his doubts. ”

Li Zhen said: "Here, is a secluded path, not the old people who have lived here for decades do not know the existence of this path, this road is bumpy, it will be muddy in case of heavy rain, and even most of the roads can only accommodate one person at the same time, although I don't know how long it is, but here can directly lead to the place where the enemy army is outside the city!" It's a vital place! Our army can sneak attack the enemy army through guò here, and the enemy army can sneak attack our army through guò here! ”

The armies were shocked, and they didn't know how to speak, Li Zhen continued: "All the gentlemen have heard that in the "Three Kingdoms" written by Su Hou, Deng Ai led the army to smuggle through the Yinping Trail, went straight down to Mianzhu, and went straight to Chengdu. The general is more calm, good at defense and layout, so he was transferred here by the marshal, so as not to let our army suffer the disaster of Ji Han's country, and all the monarchs are the right hand of the general, in order to avoid our army from the disaster of Ji Han's country, please also ask the kings to help the general! ”

Li Zhen held his sword and said loudly, all the troops looked at each other, and then they all strengthened their beliefs, their eyes became resolute, and the leading sergeant major hugged his fists and said: "The general has a request, but he doesn't dare to resign!" ”

Li Zhen nodded, waved his hand and said: "According to the general's arrangement, the armies are quickly deployed, our army is small, if you rashly attack the enemy here, I am afraid that there is a danger that the whole army will be wiped out and there will be no gain, but although the enemy army is numerous, but this is a man's pass, ten thousand people can not open the place, if the enemy army wants to pass here, our army only needs to firmly hold the crossing, and will not let one person pass here, if the enemy army wants to attack, we must defend it, the front army tens of thousands of troops fought bloodily, we must ensure that the rear is not lost.

The commander trusts us, and entrusting us with this important task is our absolute trust, and we must fight to the death, with the trust of the whole commander, although the enemy army has 10,000 people who want to pass here, but as long as one of us can still fight, we must ask us if we agree! ”

The troops knelt down on one knee: "Obey the general's orders!" (To be continued......)
