Chapter 1620 Conservative
For the goal set by Li Xiang, all the people present felt that it was a bit too conservative. If they were asked to set a goal, they would definitely kill directly to the capital of the Arab Empire. They had done such things before. In their opinion, we cannot spoil the people of the Arab Empire, and we should come up and give them a big bomb.
"I know what the expression on your face means. You must think that the goal I set is too conservative, but I want you to understand how far this place is from the economic hinterland of the Tang Dynasty? How far is it from the Anxi Protectorate? You should all see clearly. We have just built the military station here, but it is not the place where our military station is built. This is our territory. There are too many dangers around, and the logistics line also needs to be maintained. So I made this plan for our own sake."
When Li Xiang said this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. In the past, the Tang army never considered these issues when fighting in other places, mainly because it was not that far away. The current transportation is really too bad. If you talk about the distance, it is more than 10,000 miles.
"Your Highness is right. We are too impatient. But this opportunity is rare. If it weren't for the obstruction near their capital, the Arab Empire would probably have to pay for the refugees this time. They had sinister intentions and originally wanted to deal with us, but ended up suffering a great loss from the refugees. While they are dealing with the refugees, we should also take action."
Su Dingfang didn't want to waste the opportunity. Time is extremely precious now. Although the Arab Empire has assembled a lot of troops, many of their troops are temporarily recruited. There are not many real elites. If a fight breaks out, we still have a lot of advantages on our side.
"You should have a battle plan, then just tell me directly. If it is feasible, then I will use your battle plan. You know me. As long as your plan is reasonable, I will definitely allow it."
Li Xiang's words gave Su Lingfang hope. In fact, when he retreated, he had already formulated a battle plan, which was to use the tactics of the Arab Empire, rush over a long distance, and go to the place where we retreated from, and start fighting immediately after rushing over. Use the blitzkrieg that our highness is best at. Before the enemy has come to his senses, we have already killed into their camp.
"The plan is quite good, but do you know where their main force is? Refugees can affect the army of the Arab Empire, but do you think they can't affect us?"
On the sand table next to them, Li Xiang and several generals listened to Su Dingfang's battle plan. The long journey is nothing to the Tang army. We only need to rest for two days and then we can continue to move forward. After all, the training intensity is also very high. This level of advancement is at most a little more than training for us.
When Li Xiang said this, Su Dingfang was stunned immediately. The refugees caused too much trouble to the Arab army. If we also move forward like this, this difficulty will be transferred to our heads. Refugees are like a double-edged sword.
Originally, everyone present was very optimistic, but after listening to Li Xiang's words, they realized what they had missed. That is, the refugees all over central and northern Arabia. These people are the most deadly. They are now like desperate people. As long as there is a chance to survive, let alone the army of the Arab Empire, even the Tang army, they are not afraid. Long-term hunger has made their combat effectiveness extremely strong.
"Then why are you here, Your Highness?"
Su Dingfang said in some confusion. Since his battle plan is not suitable, why did Li Xiang bring tens of thousands of troops here? Is there anything else?
"I came here to advance steadily, not like you. Long-distance raid."
When Li Xiang said this, it made his men unable to do it. Didn't you come up with the blitzkrieg? All the generals of the Tang army fought according to your instructions. Facts have proved that our method is also very good. It has helped us defeat countless enemies. How come we are now advancing steadily?
"I didn't say that we were going to attack the heartland of the Arab Empire. I was talking about the coast of the Caspian Sea. This is the Caspian Sea."
Li Xiang pulled everyone to the map again. The sand table mainly marked the direction to the Arabian Peninsula, but before going to the Arabian Peninsula, there are still a lot of areas along the Caspian Sea in their west. This also belongs to the Arab Empire, but there are still a large number of indigenous people here. To put it bluntly, it is the frontier area of the Arab Empire.
"Your Highness, the land here is still okay, but the problem is that we won't do much damage to the Arab Empire. We should still focus on their own country, especially the army they have organized now." Li Chengyi said anxiously. If we attack in the direction of the Caspian Sea, we will face the second-line army of the Arab Empire. There are only tens of thousands of troops here. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? If we kill them all, it will not have much impact on the war situation. Only by killing the first-line army of the Arab Empire can we win.
"I understand, when we attacked here, we were actually encircling the point to provide reinforcements."
Cheng Chuliang patted his head, and Li Xiang immediately started laughing.
Now is not the time to go to the hinterland of the Arab Empire. There are too many refugees. These refugees alone are enough for us to drink a pot, let alone the battle between the two sides. So in this case, We should attack other places, wait for the reinforcements sent by the Arab Empire, and kill them in the middle. It should be safer for us.
Li Xiang has been thinking of a way, which is to pull out the Arab Empire's army and pull them out of the refugee flow, so that we can deal with him better. Only in this way can we avoid falling into the refugee flow. .
After this incident, Li Xiang has finally figured out that no one trapped in the refugee wave can get out, so let's not test it. (End of chapter)
