Chapter 1313 You have to give people a chance

"We have now fought against the powerful enemy His Highness said."

Li Chengyi also came back from near the battlefield. After General Mo Lun came back, he took his people out to check it out.

"Did you find anything?"

In addition to going to the scene to check, there were also two captured people. General Li also asked his men to interrogate them for a long time, and there might be something to gain.

"These people are ordinary soldiers and don't know many secrets. However, within a few hundred miles to the west of us, their troops are not in the minority. And according to their general's speech, these people's purpose is not in the Western Region, but in the further areas. Chang'an in the east."

After General Li finished saying this, General Molun next to him was also dumbfounded. The Arab Empire was really courageous. I originally thought it wanted to get some benefits in the Western Regions, but I didn't expect that they didn't like this place at all. What people like is Chang'an in the East.

"Are they crazy? How could they have such great power? Even Chang'an wants to step on them?"

General Mo Lun has seen the power of the Tang Dynasty. In his eyes, no matter how powerful you are, you cannot be the opponent of the Tang army. From the Western Regions to Chang'an, it is too far along the way. I don't know how many Tang soldiers there are. The army is stationed. If you want to fight from the Western Regions, there is no chance of millions of troops.

"The so-called ignorant are fearless may be talking about these people. They should not have encountered many difficulties in the process of expansion, so they regard themselves as an invincible army. It is a pity that we have to It’s a shame, our shelling just now was a wake-up call for them, letting them know that our Datang army is different from others.”

General Li said very proudly that his soldiers are becoming more and more elite, and the first round of attacks can achieve a hit rate of 70%. If it were not for regular practice, it would be impossible to reach this number. , compared with the first-generation artillery, I don’t know how advanced they were at that time.

Of course, this is nothing to be satisfied with. You must know that there are several people like them around Chang'an City, and the mountains around the training camp are almost blown up by them. If there is no money allocated by His Highness, plus If a large amount of gunpowder is shipped, even if they have the enthusiasm for training, they may not have enough gunpowder.

"These people are ambitious, and at the same time their strength is not weak. I think we can't station here anymore. Starting tomorrow, we will head west and visit all the cities in the west. As long as there are traces of them, then Kill them all, kill everything they left here. There may be a war in the future, but before that war comes, we cannot let them take any advantage. In more than a year, They took a lot of advantage.”

General Molun thought about it and said, they are not weak in strength. If they can meet the main force of the Arab Empire in advance, then they will have the strength to fight. If they wait for the Tang army from behind, then they But there was no chance at all.

"General, I understand what you are thinking. I am also here to make contributions, and I have not gone beyond Congling. This is our sphere of influence. Didn't General Cheng give us instructions when we came? As long as we don't reach Samarkand, then It’s all around us.”

Li Chengyi said with a smile, this guy is also a young general, and with the end of the battle just now, they also know that these black demons are also humans, and they are not so evil at all. If they really meet on the battlefield, they don’t know who will eat them. who.

"Then after I finish writing this memorial, I will hurry up and send it back to the people in the Protectorate. We will set off tomorrow at 10:00 sunrise."

General Molun is also very motivated. He didn’t know the reality of these people before, so he didn’t dare to take too risky actions. If he failed, he personally couldn’t bear the responsibility. After all, these are two empires. collision between.

But now after this small-scale conflict, they found that the enemy is not that powerful and is similar to what we have encountered before, so they are confident in their hearts. As long as our weapons and equipment are enough, plus they do not exceed the regulations within the scope, then we dare to do anything.

Of course, having courage is one thing, but you also have to be prepared. In addition to reporting the intelligence here that day, you also need to ask for a large amount of gunpowder from the Protectorate. In addition, come as many resources as you can. With so many resources, they have more than 40,000 troops in the entire Congling area.

This is all what the prisoners said. Whether it is true or not is hard to say. We have to make preparations first, just according to the ratio of them to Gaochang soldiers.

When the sun just rose on the second day, General Molun set off with his men. The letter he wrote had been sent out last night. Four carrier pigeons and two soldiers quickly ran towards the Governor's Mansion. .

The scouts in the army went out immediately. We have entered a war zone here, so we cannot move so fast. We must understand the surrounding situation before we can continue to move forward.

After yesterday's battle, we also know how terrifying the cavalry of the Arab Empire is. If we don't scout the surroundings carefully, if we give them a chance, they can rush up with a pack of cigarettes.

These people are the best at finding your shortcomings and will never confront your heavy cavalry head-on. They will only attack some of the weak spots in the team.

"General, I have an idea. How about we trick them?"

After walking for nearly two days, no one from the Arab Empire was found except for the rebel army in the Western Regions. Have they all run away? This is absolutely impossible. We also know through yesterday's interrogation that they are determined to win Chang'an City. If dozens of people die and run away, this is not a big empire at all.

"You want to lure the snake out of its hole?"

To be honest, there was no news for two consecutive days, and General Molun was a little depressed. He thought that the soldiers of the Arab Empire were as eager to fight as us, but unfortunately we found nothing.

"I guess they are around us, but seeing us with tight defense is of no benefit at all, so they hide. We can make the cavalry move faster and the baggage convoy move slower to give them a chance. …”

Li Chengyi said with bad intentions, we have to create opportunities for others... (End of Chapter)
