Chapter 822: Reinforcements Arrive, Strategic Advantage (Ask for Subscription)
Upper Talas River, North Bank.
The piles of corpses of the dead in battle turned this place into a place of death in just a day or two.
Vultures hovered in the sky, and jackals in the wild forest ran out smelling the smell. But they didn't dare to get too close, because each pile of corpses was burning with sky-high flames, and the glow of the fire glowed green, which looked particularly enchanting.
In the northern mountains, which were only three or four miles away from these corpses, when the outpost transmitted the news of what they had seen in front of them, they hurried to catch up with Gao Xianzhi's sheep and sheep and the cold winter of March all understood.
They're still late!
According to the outposts, at least forty or fifty thousand corpses were burned along the river by the Arab army. This number also means that they have already encircled Gao Xianzhi's troops.
"We have to continue to chase, it is very likely that we will escape to the end, and Gao Xianzhi will break through in reverse."
Yang Yang Yang silently digested the information he had just heard, and then said: "The baggage logistics troops and horses are slowing down, turning around and going due north, and the rest of the main army is advancing along the river, we have to create conditions for Gao Xianzhi to break through." ”
"Okay, that's it."
Handong March nodded in agreement, although it was a bit stupid to have so many people in for such a Gao Xianzhi, but who made him one of the main generals of the Tang Army.
Gao Xianzhi can't die!
As soon as the two of them combined, it was decided to let a few of the little allies of Bitter Winter March protect the logistics and leave the battlefield, while Yang Yang and Bitter March led the duo's 15,000 main forces to continue to pursue Gao Xianzhi.
When these 15,000 men no longer hid, they soon attracted the attention of the Abbasid soldiers and horses who remained in Talas, but the army was on an expedition, leaving only 20,000 people to defend the city, and they did not dare to go out of the city to fight the Tang army.
The fighting that took place just a few days ago has confirmed one thing to them.
The Tang Army's great reputation in the Western Regions was made!
They did not take the initiative to go out of the city to attack, but they still sent troops to report the matter to the main army. It's just that as soon as the messengers left the city, they were targeted by the sentry under the command of Yang Yangyang.
Someone led the way, and the sheep and sheep were happy to follow.
But the further I went, the more solemn the faces of the sheep and the cold winter of March.
Dead bodies everywhere!
Everywhere there were corpses that had not been disposed of because of the war, and the two sides were mixed together, revealing a horrific and tragic situation.
"We have to speed it up."
"According to the direction in which the messengers are heading, they are most likely in this position now."
Pursuing along the way, Yang Yang Yang took out an old map he got in Broken Leaf City: "This side is closer to the Western Turkic Oghuz Department, and the terrain is more complicated than the open area in the south. After the notice, we diverted and went directly into the territory of the Oghuz, and let the soldiers advance at full speed. ”
The main general gave an order, and the alliance soldiers and horses in the rapid march were three points faster.
After chasing the support force at maximum speed for the whole day, it finally found some new sightings when it turned south.
A battlefield where a fight had just taken place allowed the sheep and sheep to find two 'living mouths'.
One is an Arab pawn, and the other is a cavalry lieutenant of the Tang Army. The captain of the cavalry only had time to point out a direction to Yang Yang Yang before he fell into a coma again, but with this direction, Yang Yang Yang finally showed a slight smile on his face.
Gao Xianzhi has not yet been defeated, and the Tang army is still resisting.
………
"Haha~ Kill all these big food miscellaneous soldiers, and slaughter their horses for meat at night!"
"I think about eating meat every day, no wonder you grow so fat."
"What do girls know, fat and strong are good children."
"Fart, it's a horse like that!"
Since a counterattack victory at the mountain pass temporarily forced the Arab army back, the Tang army fell into a scorching battle again in the next two days. In any case, the numerical superiority of the Arab army is extremely obvious, and even if the Tang army wins, it will still not be able to solve the crisis around it.
However, perhaps because he was accustomed to such pressure, it was clear that the special pistol had already knocked out the fine stones, and Lin Hui, who could only carry a knife in close combat, was not too worried, and fought side by side with Li Siye as a vanguard, still keeping the war in a state of seesaw.
After dark, they could retreat up the mountain, and most of the Arab armies would not catch up, because it would be very difficult to pursue five or six thousand men in the high mountain woodlands after dark.
As long as five or six thousand people are dispersed, even ten times the number of troops sent to search and arrest them may not be effective.
If nothing else, Lin Hui and Li Siye would have to retreat slowly after half an hour, but when the sun was about to set and the sunset was about to disappear, a noisy shout of killing suddenly came from the other side of the mountain road.
"Over there, there's a situation."
Lin Hui has been paying attention to the battlefield, and after discovering this, her eyes showed great joy: "General Li, it seems that we don't have to live on the mountain tonight." ”
"What?"
"Reinforcements are coming, our lord is coming." When the words landed, Lin Hui had already seen a distinctive soldier and horse.
It was the Mandarin Duck Formation of Qingyuan City, the only battle king division among the many Chinese player lords.
Li Siye also reacted quickly, and grabbed the pawn next to him: "Go and tell the adults, please bring the Chinese army to support quickly, the reinforcements have arrived, we don't have to hide anymore." ”
After that, he spat and slaitted fiercely, and killed him with a knife.
Rushing and killing on both sides, on one side was the Tang Army of a hundred battles that finally waited for support, and on the other hand, the elite soldiers of the alliance who galloped forward, and within half an hour, an Arab army of nearly 10,000 people was defeated.
Gao Xianzhi, Lin Hui, Yang Yang Yang, and the cold winter in March successfully met the troops.
After receiving the news that the reinforcements of the Tang army had arrived, Abu did not continue the attack, and withdrew his troops and horses to confront the Tang army across the mountain again.
That night, in the simple wooden village in the north of the mountain.
"Whew~ I can be regarded as looking forward to you." Lin Hui, who was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, exhaled with a bowl of hot soup, and tried her best to hide her inner excitement with her trembling hands.
"We're late." Yang Yang Yang said with a little apology, it was her decision that made Lin Hui and them face the situation of nine deaths and one life.
"It's not too late, it's just the right time."
Lin Hui shook his head slightly, and said, "Our side is the same as we expected before, more than 100,000 people and horses of the Arab army have stared at Gao Xianzhi to death, what is the situation on your side?" ”
"Broken Leaf City is also miserable, but the battle result is okay, I received the news yesterday, I daydreamed that I burned the entire Broken Leaf City, and wiped out all the Arab soldiers and horses who went to the Western Regions."
"Annihilation?"
Lin Hui smacked her tongue when she heard this, and asked, "How did he do it?" ”
Yang Yangyang shook his head and said: "I don't know the specifics, and the black-clothed guard will not write the battle situation in great detail, I want to know and ask directly when we meet next time." ”
Lin Hui didn't ask any more questions, and instead said with a smile: "The Arab soldiers and horses who went to the Western Regions were all wiped out, but Gao Xianzhi and I are still alive, so to put it this way, is our Chinese side now dominant?" ”
"This is the case in terms of the situation, but we are still in a weak position in terms of troops."
"That can't be helped, I feel like we've killed a lot of enemy soldiers, but their soldiers and horses are still as dense as ants."
Speaking of the disparity in strength, Lin Hui was very helpless.
If the strength of both sides is the same, how could she and Gao Xianzhi be so embarrassed.
Just as the two were chatting about the recent days of war, a black-clothed guard who had caught up with the support army only a day ago hurriedly ran over: "Lord Viscount, my lord has a handwritten letter. ”
Yang Yang Yang took a look, and his eyes immediately appeared bright.
Lin Hui raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did he say?" ”
"It's a problem of our shortage of troops, and we daydream suggest that we ignore the Arab army behind us and go north directly to the Oghuz tribe." Yang Yang shook the letter, and the corners of his eyes shone brighter.
"What are you looking for those Turkic tribes?"
"Alliance, Join Forces."
