Chapter 1561 Lost due to luck

In fact, the commander of the East Route Army, Sun Ze, also discovered some clues. When he was about to send out a large number of reconnaissance troops, he finally found that the other party had escaped. When he received Li Chengyi's letter, he was very depressed. To be honest, Well, they are indeed lost.

Although there are sounding balloons, there are still some disadvantages to this thing. For example, when there is wind and sand, there is no way to rise at all. They were lost at that time. When there is a storm in the desert, no matter what kind of thing you use , and it is already quite difficult to keep everyone under control.

Thinking of what happened that day, Changsun Ze felt trembling all over. He had already done an excellent job. When the desert storm came, he immediately surrounded the carts in the team and put all the troops in the circle. , relying on such a ring formation, this can be regarded as saving everyone. If he hadn't thought of this method on the spur of the moment, I'm afraid it would have been blown up everywhere now.

Of course, in addition to his temporary ideas, the brothers under him also have very strong organizational skills. After the order was issued, it took just a stick of incense to form such a formation. If the brothers under him were a little bit If we delay a little longer, we may be very close to each other at this moment, and no one knows where we will fly with this storm.

Most of the carts are connected end to end to increase the weight of the cart. Many people put their own weight inside, otherwise they would not be able to hold it at all. Some also bring animals from nearby. They were also tied to the transport cart. During that storm, if you had nothing in your hands, it might really blow you into the sky. Once you left the ground and fell down again, I'm afraid this That's where the fate will be handed down.

After a storm, Cheng Chuliang and Changsun Ze also reunited. The two armies were originally separated, but they heard that the West Route Army had begun fighting, so they immediately joined together, fearing that the same shortcomings of the West Route Army would also occur. , but unexpectedly after the two armies were mixed together, the West Route Army also won, but the people in front of them ran away.

"It's true that we have different fates. We ran out of the military camp together. I also thought that we could make the first contribution, but I didn't expect that this kid Li Chengyi beat me to it. So many people were captured at once, and there were all kinds of things. Various camels and war horses, and although there are not many other things captured, these things alone are enough for him to be granted a title. "

Changsun Ze said with some envy that he killed nearly 100,000 people at the beginning of the war. You must know that these 100,000 people did not include logistics troops, but were all front-line combat troops. This is really a great virtue accumulated by our ancestors. Otherwise, otherwise , how could it be possible to meet so many people?

"We really lost out on luck this time. If it hadn't been for that damn storm, I think we could have survived. Unfortunately, after encountering that thing, the combat effectiveness of the army has also declined. Go out and take a look at our Brother, when we think of that storm, everyone is still a little scared. After all, we have never seen it before. Although people in the Western Region have heard about it, hearing about it and actually seeing it are two completely different things. I still need to educate everyone on this matter, so that everyone can accept this matter from the bottom of their hearts.”

Cheng Chuliang was also a little depressed. Although he had already made military exploits, no one despised the fact that he had many military exploits. Even if they could annihilate ten or twenty thousand people this time, it would still be considered a victory. Although compared with the West Route Army It's a bit less, but it should be much stronger than now. Apart from the few tongues they caught, I'm afraid they won't have any new achievements.

"Brother Cheng is right. I will arrange this matter later. Let's set up camp here honestly. It is estimated that there will be new arrangements soon. I believe that the generals of the Arab Empire are not fools and will not continue. If you provoke us, we will not divide our troops."

Their generational hierarchy is actually a bit chaotic. Cheng Chuliang and Li Xiang are of the same generation, but Chang Sunze is a generation older, but he is also called eldest brother at this moment. Anyway, the seniority hierarchy in Chang'an City is very chaotic, and each family has a liaison with them. Dear, as long as there are no close relatives, we will all be judged by age outside.

"Your analysis is correct. The people of the Arab Empire are not fools. They have suffered such a big loss. If they are still greedy for credit and rashly advance, then don't blame us for being rude to them. Stay here for the time being. But we need to send a large number of red monkey soldiers around to prevent them from attacking us. "

Cheng Chuliang has fought with these people, and of course he knows how powerful these black storms are. If they find your military camp, they will be more than ten miles away at first sight, but they may be in front of you in the next second, light cavalry The most important thing is that they are faster, especially in this semi-desert place, their speed is even faster, and we can't compare with them.

However, Li Chengyi also wrote in his letter that the most effective way to curb their speed is the musketeers. Let all the musketeers line up in two rows and use a platoon strategy to deal with these light cavalry. Not to mention how exciting it is, as long as Once they get within range, that's our world.

Of course, some things only work the first time. If people know how to deal with it the second time, then this method will not be of much use. Chang Sunze is worried about this. If the Arab Empire's army gathers together, there will definitely be many defeated soldiers returning. They will know how we fight. If we formulate corresponding tactics, it will not be of any benefit to us.

Of course, no one dares to stop for the enemy on the battlefield. Now let's see how Li Xiang does it. If we continue to move forward, Chang Sunze may be eager to do so. Anyway, our strength is not weak. If we really encounter the Arab Empire's army, the worst case scenario is to fight them head-on, and we may not fail.

But if Li Xiang orders a retreat, we have to rush to the camp quickly. After all, it is a battle between hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides. His Highness must have a reason for doing so, and we can't be alone.

Later that day, it was finally confirmed that the Arab Empire's Eastern Army had retreated across the board, and even some scouts were not left behind. They were either afraid or really unwilling to fight against the Tang Dynasty. (End of this chapter)
