Chapter 759 Pre-war Deployment

On the vast desert, tens of thousands of iron riders walk, with their hooves rumbling, iron armor, banners fluttering in the wind, and the mighty of the Baisheng division is fully visible. Even the scorching sun in front of it cannot affect the high morale of tens of thousands of soldiers. The loud military song is ringing loudly, and the heroism rushes out of the sky.

It has been a year. It has been more than a year since I left Hexi. Even if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have long been used to the wind and sand in the desert, there is no situation of being unconvinced by the water and soil to besieged in Persia. However, they have been away from home for a long time, and their thoughts are inevitable. Now, they have finally set foot on the truth of returning home, and no one is not happy. Smiling, of course, there are no exceptions. Lin Chengbin, the commander of the three armies, never smiled on his face, and even rarely said anything. From time to time, there was a faint worry in his eyes looking at the sky.

"Wo..."

As noon approached, a small black spot suddenly appeared in the cloudless blue sky in the distance. It leaned very fast in the direction of the Tang army. It was an eagle, but when it saw the goshawk hovering over the Tang army, it made a loud eagle roar, as if it was summoning the son.

"Qi..."

As soon as the roar of the eagle stopped, there was a roar in the Tang army. He immediately saw the eagle swooping at a high speed, falling from the sky like a sharp arrow, and firmly on the shoulder of an officer who rushed out of the queue.

"General, urgent matter in Mosul!"

The officer took out a piece of beef jerky and threw it gently. Taking advantage of the gap of the eagle's food, he skillfully took a small copper pipe from the eagle's leg, and then ran straight to Lin Chengbin's horse, bowed slightly, and hurried to report.

"Hmm."

Lin Chengbin answered quietly, reached out to take the small copper tube handed over by the officer, skillfully twisted the dark button on it, took out a small rolled note from the inside, spread it out, and passed it quickly. His eyes became sharp in an instant. He raised his hand and shouted and ordered, "The whole army stopped and rest on the spot. All the generals will gather here immediately!"

"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."

Lin Chengbin gave an order, and the trumpeter behind him immediately sounded the horn in his hand. In a sad trumpet, the Tang army brigade, which had been running away, stopped in an instant, and a burst of command rang one after another, and the generals rushed to the central army one after another.

"General, are you going to fight?"

All the generals arrived quickly, but most people did not understand the meaning of this emergency assembly, but Liu Ziming knew it very well. He declined Li Xian's retention this time and deliberately rushed back to Persia for such a war that was about to begin. In addition, he was very familiar with Lin Chengbin. There were not too many scruples. Just now, I rushed the horse to the front, and I didn't even have time to get off the horse's back. I already roared, which made all the surrounding generals noisy.

"Map!"

Before the battle was launched, it needed tactical deception, and secrecy was the right thing. As for the present, it was no longer necessary. Because of this, although Lin Chengbin did not answer Liu Ziming's call, he did not deny it. He just waved his hand in awe and shouted in a low voice. The guards who were waiting on the side rushed forward and The large military map was unfolded on the spot and spread on the hot sand.

"Please take a look, the Great Food Army sent 450,000 troops, and the troops were divided into three routes. Among them, the whole journey started from Bukhara City, with 100,000 troops, with the intention of seizing the old mouth of the Buha River and blocking the road of our army's withdrawal to the east; the other way was from Xiya City, with 120,000 troops, killed from the south. The picture and the main force of the enemy from Mosul, the 230,000 troops, surrounded our army in the Laohekou area. According to the enemy's itinerary, the enemy came to the north the fastest. It is expected that it will rush to the Laohe River in the next few days. Even if our army rushes at full speed, it will have to rush to the Laohekou tomorrow. At that time, it will be dark, and it is difficult for our army to cross without a boat. If there is no accident, the enemy will be stopped at the mouth of the mouth of the river. In addition, the enemy from Hiye City is expected to reach the mouth of the Lao River in the next day. If our army forcibly crosses the Buha River, the enemy will attack my abdomen and back. As for the main force of the enemy, because of the road, it will rush to the mouth of the mouth of the Lao River. According to the fastest speed, the forward army will not arrive at noon four days later. At that time, if our army is fighting hard with the two enemy, it will be in danger of being destroyed by the whole army! The battlefield situation is like this. Do you have any high opinion?

Lin Chengbin bent slightly and pointed to the map with the whip in his hand, and brought out the situation of the enemy and us one by one. Finally, he looked around at the generals and asked quietly.

The Tang army has been added several times, and now there are only more than 33,000 troops. Counting more than 3,000 original Tubo prisoners of war used as people, the total number is only a little more than 36,000. Facing the big food cavalry army of 450,000, the enemy and us are really too different. The gap between 15 to 1 is obviously not by courage and Determination can make up for it, especially in such an empty desert sea. If it really confronts the enemy, the Tang army will undoubtedly be destroyed by the whole army. Even if the generals of the Tang Dynasty are all those who have experienced a hundred battles, at this time, they undoubtedly feel great pressure, and no one will stand up to answer Lin Chengbin for a moment. The atmosphere at the scene inevitably became a little dull.

"I'm afraid, just fight. No matter how far he comes, our army only kills all the way. Why don't you worry about breaking the thief army? According to Liu, let's start the big food army in Xiya City first. It hurts a little, and then it's not too late to go back to gnaw the enemy's main force. As for the thief army on the other side of the river, it doesn't have the courage to cross the river and let him cool down. Let's go!"

Liu Ziming has fought a lot of fierce battles over the years. His nerves have long been as thick as a hemp rope. He didn't care about the number of soldiers of the cannibal army, so he shouted carelessly.

"That's right, that's it, that's it!"

"Okay, kill him happily!"

"General, you just order!"

......

A group of Tang generals were all bloody brave men. After being flirted with by Liu Ziming, they all came to the spirit and roared and issued a declaration of fighting.

"General Li, what do you think?"

Lin Chengbin was not moved by the enthusiasm of the generals, but stood still indifferently. It was not until the generals gradually calmed down that he looked sideways at the silent Li He and asked blankly.

"You must fight, but you can't do it!"

As the commander of the Tang Army, Li He has long known that there will be such a battle. In private, he has long known how many times he has been deduced. He has a clear judgment of the battle situation. The reason why he is not in a hurry to say it is not reserved, but to listen to Lin Chengbin's opinion first. At this time, since Lin Chengbin is the first After asking, Li Hezi would not hide it, and gave a positive answer with a firm face.

"Well, General Li, please make it clear."

Lin Chengbin obviously agreed with Li He's views, but he still did not comment, let alone say what he said in his heart, but quietly asked.

"General, please see, our army is now here, and there are still more than 200 miles away from the enemy of Bukhara City. Even if the enemy and I are facing each other, we will bump into each other head-on as soon as tomorrow afternoon. Although we can win, we can win, we don't see that we can win quickly. If the enemy retreats without fighting, it is difficult for our army to see success in one fell swoop. Once the enemy master To detect the movement of our army, we will try our best to change the way and attack. At that time, our army may have the fear of being attacked by the enemy. Therefore, although it is a feasible way to destroy the enemy of Bukhara City first, it must have a proper deployment, thinking that it can be divided into three walks. First, disguised as a large part of the troops, continue to advance to the mouth of the Laohe River to confuse the enemy in front. ; Second, with a step army to guard the steeple of Tianhuang Mountain and block the reinforcements of the enemy's main force, the main force of our army goes straight to the enemy in Bukhara City, and set the battlefield in the basin of the southern foot of Tianhuang Mountain, so as to defeat the enemy in a battle, and then return to the division to fight with the enemy's main force, take a great victory and defeat the enemy in front of the mountain!"

Li He did not refuse at all. He talked freely and explained in detail what he thought in his heart.

"Good plan, the thief army does not know that our army has detected its whereabouts. Suddenly, it must be defenseless. It is not difficult to defeat the enemy of Buhara City in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, a small part of our army can tie branches with a ponytail and disguise most of the marching images. When it comes to the mouth of the Laohe River, the sky is already dark, and it is difficult for the enemy on the other side to see the truth!"

"The battle of Tianhuangshan will be the key. If we can stop the enemy's main force from rushing, our army will have the opportunity to adjust after defeating the enemy in Bukhara City. It is difficult to defeat the enemy!"

......

All the generals are all old people fighting, and they are not unfamiliar with strategy and tactics. After listening to Li He's statement, they all came to life and made suggestions one after another. In the atmosphere of talking and laughing, morale suddenly rose to the peak.

"Does General Xiao have any other suggestions?"

As the saying goes, the hero's views are similar. What Li Hezhi said is exactly what Lin Chengbin has been thinking about for many days. There will be no different opinions on this. However, Lin Chengbin is still not in a hurry to express his attitude, but pressed his hand to signal the generals to be quiet. Then he turned his eyes to Xiao Sanlang and asked inquiringly.

"This strategy is great, and the last will ask for your life to guard Tianhuang Mountain."

As the third person in the army, Xiao Sanlang is also one of the insiders. In recent days, he has also been speculating about the situation in private, and the conclusion reached is not much different from Li He. At this time, when he heard Lin Chengbin's question, he stopped talking nonsense and directly asked for his life to fight the most difficult battle of defense.

"Well, okay, the generals are at their orders. Except for the cavalry sending thousands of people to continue eastward, the rest of the departments immediately turn to Tianhuang Mountain and set off!"

Lin Chengbin has always been a decisive person. Since the tactical ideas of the generals have been unified, he will not waste more lips and tongues. With a wave of his hand, he has finalized the action strategy of the whole army in one sentence. In a moment, in a shrill horn, the ready-by Tang iron horse turned to the north and headed towards Tianhuang Mountain. Roll it up...
