Chapter 283 Siege
More than 7,000 powerful sergeants of the Geluolu tribe are still serving in the main business of the Tang army!
Because there was no need to protect, the Tang army freed 2,000 heavy soldiers, plus 3,000 new soldiers, which was equivalent to 5,000 more light infantry. Therefore, some adjustments were made to the defense of Talos City. These 5,000 soldiers and the newly formed 1,000 cavalry were sent to Talos City to defend the city with 3,000 Bahan's soldiers.
In addition, 500 knife soldiers and 1,000 archers were assigned to be led by Duan Xiushi. In this way, there are nearly 10,000 Tang army-style arms in the whole city of Talos, as well as precepters such as Zhang Fan's Green Wing and Apdu Team.
Gao Xianzhi took 15,000 Tang troops and 7,000 Geluolu clan sergeants to fight forward. Li Siye is a tiger general and naturally the vanguard of the army.
The Great Food Kingdom was severely damaged by the Tang army's ambush, resulting in the loss of mobile combat power. The general Abda immediately retreated 20 miles to the west, found a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and pressed down the camp. This is the throat road from Talos City to Samarkand, which is guarded here to prevent Gao Xianzhi's troops from continuing westward.
The other route led by General Ziad, more than 12,000 main food countries, and more than 50,000 Zhuhu allied forces, marched to the city of Talos. Halfway, the main force of 12,000 great food countries turned west in an attempt to join General Abda's troops and attack the main force of Gao Xianzhi. The rest of the Hu coalition continued to attack Talos City.
"Half of the two soldiers in the Tang barracks have dispersed, and the Tang army even gave them all the horses..." The hazy man said happily and sincerely, "They are all the attacks planned by the boss, which solved their tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at once..."
"They were burned with grain and grass, and there was nothing they could do. When General Ziad's troops arrive, our army can fight against the Tang army!" The woman in white rode on a cliff and said to the gloomy man guarding her.
"Our military strength is the same as theirs, and the other party is supported by the Geluolu tribe. Can we win this battle?" The man is a little worried.
The woman in white ignored him and continued, "Before that, I'm going to the Tang military camp..."
"What?! Boss, you can't take risks lightly!" The man was shocked and quickly persuaded him. It suddenly occurred to me, "Don't you say that the rebellious plan of the Geluolu tribe has been broken by the wise men of the other party? You go..."
"You have become smart, hey, I'm here to convince the Geluo tribe myself! I've been thinking about it these two days, is this history so easy to change? The woman sneered.
"Big..."
"What are you worried about? My skill is enough for me to enter and exit the Tang army camp safely..."
"... Boss, you have to be careful!"
............
The war is approaching, and Zhang Fan Aken exchanged information every day these two days to understand the situation of the whole battlefield.
"There is nothing on my side, and the matter of the Geluolu tribe has also been solved. With the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, the chance of winning this battle is more than 85%! Instead, you Talos City, so many Hu soldiers besieged the city, but you should be careful. Aken told him.
"The Hu soldiers on my side are all holding the troops in Talos City from being able to reinforce. Although there are many people, there is no threat. As soon as the news of the two tribes encroaching on their land and property arrives, the siege will be resolved! Zhang Fan reminded Aken, "You have to be careful of the wise man of the other party. If there is any trick, don't be tricked."
"Haha! This boy does a lot of bad things, and it's no wonder that he is not calculated!" Green Wings smiled.
"...don't talk about the crow..." Aken Khan.
At this time, the green wing pulled Zhang Fan and motioned him to look in the distance.
"Hiss--" Zhang Fan took a breath of cold air and saw a long black line stretching infinitely on the horizon in the southwest of Talos City. As time goes by, the black line slowly becomes thicker.
The green wing has a high perception, and it has already been seen that it is an army composed of countless strangely dressed Hu soldiers coming this way. Is that really only 50,000 or 60,000? The two don't have Aken's calculation skills. They just look at it with their eyes and feel that the number of Hu soldiers is probably nearly ten times that of the Tang army in Talos City!
In historical materials, the number of people participating in the Great Food Country in the Battle of Talos is very different. Some say that there are more than 100,000, and some say that there are only more than 20,000. But now that Zhang Fan has personally experienced it, he has found that this gathered Hu army is really more than 100,000!
General Duan Xiushi, who was also looking at the enemy at the head of the city, frowned and drumming in his heart. I'm afraid that the detective reported Hu's troops is not true. Or which tribes have participated in the war?
Gao Shuai's expedition to Zhuhu in the Western Regions last year and killed many king leaders seems to have really aroused the indignation of Zhuhu! Therefore, the Great Food Country can have so many Hu countries to help fight! Oh, you have lost the hearts of the people!
Many of the city's top sergeants are soldiers of a hundred battles. Seeing so many enemies under the black pressure, there is also a little chill in their hearts. Holding the hand of the blade, he unconsciously tightened another point.
Zhang Fan and Green Wing saw such a large-scale army for the first time. He was uncertain and unconsciously grabbed the other party's hand. Ben Zang behind him, looking at it in his eyes, secretly smiled.
At this time, Dark Sakura also took a step forward, stood beside Zhang Fan, grabbed one of his hands, and couldn't let go. Zhang Fan didn't pay attention at first, and the green wing beside him coughed, and Zhang Fan found out that he was bapt.
But Dark Sakura is a persistent person. She still cares about these and is still nervous, as if she is afraid that he will run away.
Benzang laughed and came forward to relieve the siege and said, "Dark Sakura, you hold Zhang Fanjun like this. Others think that he owes you debts and hasn't paid them back."
"Hmm! He just owes a debt, an emotional debt to the little girl!" Green Wing threw away Zhang Fan with hatred and went to inspect.
Zhang Fan was sweaty and shouted, but he was ignored. There were words of suffering in his heart.
On the other side of the city, Apudu looked at the powerful Hu people and kicked him in his heart, with some regret. It seems that history will still progress according to the normal context. If Tang Jun can't do it well, he will still be defeated!
It was not until late at night that nearly 100,000 Hu's troops came to the city to camp and encircle the city of Talos. The strange-shaped barbarian in the city, arrogant and domineering, had the posture of swallowing the Tang army alive in the city of Rus.
Duan Xiushi looked at Hu Jun's camp carefully, but his heart settled down. Because these barbarian troops are all divided into their own camps, it seems that the camp tents are variety, and many of them are patched nomadic tents.
Soldiers also have a wide variety of weapons, and even some depressed soldiers use farm tools. Moreover, the discipline is also very poor. Seeing that their eating time is not uniform, they are still chatting and farting over there...
Only a small number of the army has standard weapons and armor, and the military discipline is relatively strict. However, it seems to be a small number of governors of the Great Food Kingdom, guarding the battalion of the Central Army. I heard that this army is the governor of Khorasan, Ai Bu. Such a chaotic army led by the Muslim general Qiyad is enough for him to have a headache.
"A group of mob!" Duan Xiushi commented with a sneer. He turned around and ordered to the messengers, "Order 1,000 cavalry, 500 sword soldiers, except archers, and captains and horses. Hou is in the city and rob the camp tonight!"
"Ye!" The messenger hurriedly retreated.
In a short time, several precepters receive task prompts:
Green Wing received the task of robbing the camp with the cavalry tonight; Benzang received the task of spying on the military situation; Zhang Fan and Apdu team received the task; the reward was very ordinary, 500 merit points and 5 bonus points; 2000 merit points were deducted from failure.
Several people have different tasks, and this is the first time that Zhang Fan and Green Wing have received different task instructions from the same team. Everyone is ready to mention it separately.
In the second half of the night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Tang army's horses' hoofs were wrapped in soft cloth and rushed out of the city gate silently. Zhang Fan stood at the gate with 500 knife soldiers and saw the cavalry rush into the darkness.
"You should be careful..." Zhang Fan explained to Green Wing.
Tonight is a blind night. The camp in the distance seems to be a monster lurking in the dark night. A bad feeling rises in Zhang Fan's heart...
Aken's instructions, this time to spy on the military situation, it is best to find the specific location of the enemy's grain and grass and report it to the commando troops of the Green Wing.
This man touched it in the middle of the night with dark cherry. However, he almost lost his position in this camp of nearly 100,000 people. These continuous camp accounts are simply too messy, but there is no rules for camping. But it is more confusing than the deliberately set up array camp. However, if they want to fight, it will probably be a mess.
On the contrary, Dark Sakura is much higher than this Tibetan skill, with a good sense of orientation, and especially for places such as granaries**. It is estimated that when I was a child, I was hungry and often had to look for food and steal food from Iga. Ninjas also have nobles and civilians.
Duan Xiushi was the first to rush into the camp.
Green Wing, with ten guards, also formed a charge formation and entered the barren barracks.
Although there are guards patrols in the Zhuhu military camp, they are all careless. Some find a place to squint to sleep, some drink and play games, and there is any military discipline there. Knowing that this thousand Tang troops had killed before approaching, he found that something was wrong and roared around.
A thousand Tang army horses, formed a military array, cut into butter like a fast knife, inserted into the messy Zhuhu barracks, and rampaged! In an instant, he penetrated the heavy camp and killed the Hu people.
For a while, Hu camp caught fire and burned along the cavalry assault route of the Tang Dynasty! The arrow of the assault pointed to the Hu camp!
However, in an inconspicuous corner of the Zhuhu Camp, thousands of soldiers were clearly armored, with neat queues, wearing black cloaks, revealing a evil spirit.
"General, as expected, the Tang army saw that our barracks was chaotic, and the camp was indeed robbed!" A giant man bowed and stroked his chest at the horse and said to General Ziad.
General Ziad nodded, waved his hand to the giant and ordered, "God bless you! Let's go!"
The giant took the order, with fierce eyes, and with the sergeant behind him, he highlighted the camp and actually attacked in the direction of the gate of Talos City!
