Chapter 1319 The army has arrived

Anxi Protectorate (Qiuci Kingdom)

General Molun and the others have been back for half a month. There is no need to stay in the far west, mainly because there is no obvious border here. It is too difficult to survive in the wild. Even if the army is stationed in the wild, then We must try to reduce this time as much as possible, otherwise we will not be able to survive at all.

In a big sandstorm, thousands of people might be buried in the sand, so after the war, they returned to the location of the Protectorate as quickly as possible.

"This victory should make it impossible for His Highness to come here. His Highness's order has already arrived in Gaochang. This time, General Cheng will be our commander-in-chief."

According to the original idea, since the army of the Arab Empire has been discovered, according to His Highness's explanation, this is a powerful enemy of our Datang Empire. I thought that His Highness would come to the front line in person. Unexpectedly, because of this victory, His Highness appointed General Cheng Chuliang as the coach.

"This is also normal. You can't leave everything to your Highness to fight. What do you want us people to do? Let alone the people of the Arab Empire. It's not like we haven't fought before. Don't you think the combat effectiveness of those 5,000 people is not that good? ?”

After this battle, Li Chengyi's confidence can be said to have greatly increased. This guy now has three artillery teams under his command, each with nearly 2,000 people. This was also assigned to him after the victory. Next time During the expedition, these three artillery brigades followed the army.

"Although we have won the victory, I still feel that these Arab soldiers are no joke. If you encounter them on the battlefield in the future, you still have to be careful. We have all seen cavalry attacks. Have you ever seen them so fast? In the blink of an eye. The attack will come right in front of you. If it weren't for the muskets and serial crossbows, we wouldn't be able to resist it."

General Molun is still a good fighter. When he closes his eyes these days, he can think of the actual situation on the battlefield that day. Although we won the victory, the victory was very close.

"You are telling the truth. I have compared the cavalry of the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo, and even the cavalry of our Tang Dynasty. I have also compared it. In terms of attack speed, it is really not as good as them. The most important thing is that these guys are really He is brave and not afraid of death."

This point resonates with both of them. No wonder His Highness regards them as close enemies. Mainly because they have this ability. It seems that there are not many people who can put pressure on us on the battlefield, and the pressure this Arab cavalry puts on us Not too small.

"Musketeers, you have to be more careful. When the enemy is about to rush over, the Musketeers are our last barrier. If they can't withstand it, our entire army will be finished. In addition to the three-row shooting tactics, If they are too close, or they have already rushed in, then we need to adopt new tactics. That day they turned into a circle in the military camp, and I think that method is very good. "

General Molun suddenly thought of the new musketry team. This is indeed a very good army, but loading gunpowder is too troublesome. If you can't kill the opponent after one shot, then your Life is lost.

During the last battle, the cavalry rushed into our phalanx. Many soldiers immediately formed a circle and gave their backs to their comrades. They only needed to kill the people in front of them and treat the enemies in front of them as if they were beaten to death. After death, if there are other enemies, you have to move to the other side where there are no enemies. Whoever has bullets in the gun will respond to the enemy.

"After the last battle, I also saw that the size of this circle cannot be too big, it can only be 5 people at most. If it is too big, only one cavalry is needed to break up the circle, then our dozen or so Everyone is basically useless, and their marksmanship is not good. Some people just shoot randomly and panic when they are confused."

Although the two of them won the battle, they were both reviewing the gains and losses of their men. As long as these problems could be solved, the combat effectiveness of this army could rise rapidly the next time they fight.

"Report to the general that the commander's troops are 20 miles away."

Calculating the time, Cheng Chuliang's time has come. After the two heard the news, they immediately asked their men to drive it. A then got on his horse and had to go ten miles away to welcome the commander Cheng Chuliang.

At this moment, Cheng Chuliang is wearing a silver shirt. He has been walking for almost a month and he has eaten a lot of sand in his mouth. This is how fighting in the Western Regions is. If you don't know how to eat sand, you won't be able to survive in the Western Regions. .

"The general will finally meet the commander-in-chief."

When the two of them saw Cheng Chuliang approaching, they all knelt down with riding whips in hand.

"Okay, okay, don't do these vain things. His Highness told us before. Don't mess with this during the war. Take the time to take me to your camp. This sand in your mouth It nearly choked me to death, and there was a huge storm in the morning, which was really deadly.”

Cheng Chuliang waved his hand. Both of them knew Cheng Chuliang's temperament and had spent a lot of time together in the past, so they naturally knew that Cheng Chuliang was not dissatisfied with them, but was telling the truth. What's more, the two came from the West. After returning from a victorious battle, what can be dissatisfied about?

After entering the camp, Cheng Chuliang asked someone to take off his armor and sloshed around for a while. At least two taels of sand had to be poured out. This was the reason for the continuous beating along the way. If he didn't care, he would have to do whatever he wanted now. Half a pound of sand, this is the Western Region.

"Although Gaochang is also located in the Western Region, the environment in Gaochang is much better than that in the Western Region. Thank you for your hard work."

What Cheng Chuliang said was the truth. He felt that he had suffered enough along the way, and the two of them came back from further west. Of course, there were some grasslands there, but the distant Gobi Desert also gave them enough. bitter.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir."

General Molun waved his hand and his subordinates quickly delivered fruits and vegetables. It is indeed very difficult to find such things in the Western Region these days, but people above them can enjoy privileges no matter where they are.

"While I was eating, I said that the free and unrestrained days of you two are over. Starting from this afternoon, everyone on this list will be counted as one. All those who deserve to be scraped will be arrested. All the family property will be confiscated and not confiscated. The family members and the army under them will be confiscated. All will be incorporated into the transportation battalions of the Tang Army."

While Cheng Chuliang was talking, the young marching general next to him took out a list. This was the result of their long visit. (End of chapter)
