Chapter 1363 The war begins

It was finally time for the patrol to return. Although many people came in at the gate of the camp, Prince Salaman was still nervous because he had not seen the general he appointed come back.

In fact, he can no longer be seen, and his throat has been cut by the Tang army. When I caught this guy, I wanted to interrogate him. After all, the guy was wearing a general's clothes, so he should have some information. .

Who would have known that this guy resisted fiercely and even injured one of our soldiers. If that's the case, there's nothing more to say. I can only kill you with a knife in my hand. When it threatens the safety of our soldiers, , and I can’t care about your life at such a critical moment.

"Why hasn't Fatala come back yet? Which of you is closer to his patrol?"

Prince Salaman finally lost his composure. After being a leader for so long, he also knew that he should not show panic in front of his subordinates. Once you show panic, many things may not be easy to say. The following is people may be more panicked than you, which will affect the morale of the entire battalion.

But now he can't control so much. This guy is really panicked at the moment. When he doesn't see his patrol general, he always feels that something is going on around him. As long as the general comes back to say something to him, this guy will This mood can be calmed down quickly, but it is a pity that the general never appeared.

My men, look at me and I look at you. No one can answer this question. They were supposed to meet in the middle, but when they arrived at the meeting point, General Fatala did not appear.

According to the original requirements, when their general did not appear, they should search specific areas around them, but these people were also panicked and always felt that something was going to happen, so they ran back early.

"Pull it down and chop it all up."

When he heard that these people did not search as required, Prince Salaman showed no mercy. He then pulled these people down and chopped them off. No matter how hard these people kowtowed and begged for mercy, it was of no use. Now Prince Salaman You are in a panic and need some blood to calm down. Who made you fail to complete the task? Using the blood of you people to calm your mind is the best arrangement.

After killing these people, Prince Salaman's mind was not settled. Instead, it made all the soldiers panic. It is true that these people did not conduct searches as required, but they would not kill them directly. In the past, they also In such a situation, at most it would take twenty lashes to bring him down.

This special and severe punishment made everyone feel that something big might happen. The second batch of patrols went out immediately. Prince Salaman kept looking in the distance, hoping that Fatala would come back.

If this guy can come back, it means nothing happened, but if he can't come back, it means something is going on around him.

Although they were very careful, the Tang army was elusive. They had already felt it in the previous battles. Often when they were most relaxed, the Tang army would just come and kill them. No matter where they hid, they seemed to be there. Unable to avoid the eyes of the Tang army, I really don’t know what method they used.

Although some Western Region troops were captured, these people did not understand the combat methods of the Tang Dynasty army at all. The Tang army also hid their actions from them. After all, these people could not be trusted.

So even though Prince Salaman cut all the captives from the Western Regions to pieces, there was still no way to get useful information from them. Unknown things are often what scares the most. Now Prince Salaman is in an erratic mood. Prince Salaman's life became even more sad when he thought of some previous legends, even involving ghosts and gods.

However, the Tang army did not let him last long. When the second patrol team went out, in less than a stick of incense, some small black spots appeared in the sky.

The rate of fire of artillery in this era was not very fast, especially over the desert. If you often stared at one place, you would definitely be able to see small black dots falling from the sky.

Just when some people were wondering, the first shell had exploded, and one of their carriages was blown to pieces, and the three soldiers in the carriage were now devoured by the flames.

The remaining soldiers immediately understood, isn't this the attack method of the Tang Dynasty army? I have said it many times before, this kind of fire and light thing is called artillery in the Tang Dynasty. The enemy can fire at us from thousands of meters away, but we don’t know where the enemy comes from. Which direction.

The people in the military camp quickly panicked, but they had no experience in dealing with this, so when the shells exploded, some people had already mounted their horses, but could not find their generals, so they could only There was a lot of scurrying all over the camp.

This method will mess up the entire camp, but these soldiers really can't control themselves. If they are allowed to stay where they are, these people will be even more panicked. Seeing fireballs rising one after another, they will I just want to get away from these things, but I don't know which direction to run.

Prince Salaman finally understood what he was uneasy about, but there was a question he couldn't figure out at the moment. There were clearly two echelons of troops in front of him. Could it be that both echelons of troops had been killed?

Impossible. I only received news from them yesterday afternoon. They are all moving eastward intact, which means there is no problem at all. But what is going on now? Are all the messages sent false?

He really couldn't figure out how the Tang army fought. Instead of killing the people in the first two echelons, he would attack his third echelon first. This was really too risky. An army can conduct an encirclement, and finally the Tang army will not be able to escape.

For a while, His Highness the Prince had various thoughts in his head, but now he didn't have that time. The surrounding artillery began to slowly cover the center, hitting it over and over again. The soldiers were in a mess, except for those around him. Except for the personal guards, the other people have already lost their soldiers and generals and cannot find soldiers.

This is the most terrifying thing in combat. As long as the army sticks together, they can still fight even if they encounter stronger attacks, but now... (End of Chapter)
