Chapter 1356 Arabia continues to increase its troops

If others had said this, Li Chengyi would have stood up and objected immediately, but for a period of time he had been fighting in cooperation with General Mo Lun. Without the help of General Mo Lun, he would not have been able to survive at such a young age. With so many military exploits, when General Molun spoke, this guy listened happily.

In addition, he learned a lot from General Molun, especially fighting in the Western Region. This guy is a novice. Without the guidance of General Molun, he would not know many common sense issues. This can be regarded as his Half a teacher.

"General Molun is right. I have also been actively summarizing this period. According to the combat method we formulated before, we must conduct reconnaissance in advance. Before the danger is determined, we must not advance rashly. As long as we know the main force of the opponent, Even if we don't set a trap to ambush them, as long as we are given enough reaction time, we will never be defeated."

Other generals also spoke one after another. Qu Tushou naturally heard all this. When he was killing bandits, he knew the usefulness of sounding balloons, especially in a place like the Western Region, where the surrounding area was really too crowded. It’s so vast, no matter how many spies you send out, there will always be places you can’t detect.

But the sounding balloon is different. With the long-tube telescope given by His Royal Highness, the telescope can see almost everything within a 40-kilometer radius. Of course, it cannot be seen on days with wind and sand. The weather must be good.

How many enemies are there in this situation? We all know it clearly, so no matter how fast the Arabian Empire's cavalry is, they cannot reach us in an instant. We have various ways to deal with it. If they want to win, don't dream.

Of course, we also have weaknesses here. If it rains, our gunpowder will be useless. Unfortunately, this place in the Western Region is too dry, and there are only a handful of rainy days.

This can be regarded as God’s help...

The meal didn't take long, but it also let Qu Tushou know the situation of the Arab cavalry. Hearing this guy was also excited. I really want to have the opportunity to meet them and let them see how powerful we are. , we also talked about it after returning to the capital.

While they were all talking about the Arab army, the city of Samarkand also turned into a military city.

The area under the Anton Governor's Mansion is very large, at least one million square kilometers. Although there are not many people who control the lives of the surrounding people, it is still no problem to gather an army. The people of each tribe have received orders, and they must You have to join the army. If you don't go, your whole family will be killed directly. This is much harsher than the Tang Dynasty's policy in the Western Regions.

According to the order of Prince Salaman, several tribes must select people between the ages of 16 and 45.

These people need to prepare various equipment by themselves, and then follow the Arab Empire to fight. If you do not arrive within the specified time, then you will be the first batch to be eradicated. The target order has been issued. It depends on how each tribe behaves. .

Judging from the current situation, they are doing a very good job. Dozens of tribes have sent their own people. They have all seen the brutality of the Arab cavalry. If you do not obey the order, follow Prince Salaman His character will definitely uproot your entire clan and will definitely not give you any chance of survival.

What was originally said was to gather an army of 150,000 people, but now it has exceeded 200,000 people, mainly because there were too many people from various tribes. Of course, they did not come voluntarily, they were all forced to come.

If there is a war with other countries, maybe these people will still be willing to come. After all, they all make a living by looting. As long as they follow the Arab army, can't they still have some soup? It's better than them grazing in their own homes.

But this time they were not facing some small tribes or small countries, but the Tang Dynasty. Although they lived in Central Asia, they often heard about the Tang Dynasty.

They knew that this country was more powerful than the Arab Empire, and all kinds of exquisite goods came from the east, which they could not even dream of, especially those silks.

Originally, many people in Central Asia were inseparable from the Western Regions, but now they also know that the Tang army has occupied this place and defeated the countries in the Western Regions.

Of course, this is not the main reason why they are unwilling to come. The main reason is that the Arab army failed three times at the hands of the Tang army. Each time they failed, they were hidden by the Arab army. If you are really powerful, what will happen? Do you dare to face your own failures proactively?

Among the tribes in Central Asia, it seems that the Arab Empire has actually given up, but Prince Salaman does not want to admit defeat. If he returns to their capital with such a defeat, then I am afraid that this guy will have no chance to inherit the position of king. In the future, he may Will be killed by his brother, so this guy has to win.

But he was unwilling to ask for help from the country. If he asked for help from the country, the country would definitely investigate the matter. By then, the defeat here would not be able to be concealed, so he could only ask for help in the Anton Governor's Palace. If he mobilizes all his troops, even if they are all used up, he will still win a victory. This time he must bring the prisoners of the Tang Dynasty with him when he returns to the capital.

So in order to achieve this goal, he didn't care about the life and death of all the tribes under the jurisdiction of the Anton Governor's Mansion. In short, as long as they were men who could hold a knife, all of them had to go to the battlefield for me.

Governor Faisal has now become a tool. He doesn’t care about the life or death of the people below. As long as it is an order issued by His Highness the Prince, all must be obeyed. If he does not obey, I am afraid that even the sun tomorrow will be lost. can not see.

Of course he knew that when the empire's prosecutorial agency came, he would definitely be questioned, but that was all for the future. At least he could live with it now. If he didn't obey now, then the prince could make him lose his head at that time.

After thinking about these things, this guy was no longer anxious. His Highness the Prince was more anxious than himself. During this period, several officials came from the capital. I heard that His Highness the Prince had put these people under house arrest, and he did not want the capital to suffer. The other side knows the situation here.

Now the total number of troops has exceeded 230,000, and it’s time to report to His Highness the Prince. If it continues to increase, our food will not be enough to eat... (End of Chapter)
