Chapter 279 Harassment
What is more beneficial to him is that because of the surprise attack, the other precepters of the Tang army did not take action against the Great Food Kingdom. Even if the discipline holder of Li Siye's subordinate team has a task, it will not be too obvious.
And most things are done by their own team. He must think that he hasn't found his existence yet. I just happened to take advantage of a certain opportunity to do this. It is not to lay out the whole battle, so as to underestimate your intelligence, and will use this to set traps unscrupulously to deal with yourself and the Tang army, and turn the tables in one fell swoop!
If you were from the perspective of the other party, what would you do?
Well, it must be a tense attack on the city of Tanros, and raided the main force of the Tang army while the Tang army and his attention were focused on the city of Tanross. Hey hey, it seems that I should arrange an encounter between traps and try to defeat the main force of the Great Food Kingdom in one fell swoop!
"If this is really the case, the battlefield will not be under the city of Talos!" Zhang Fan also understood, "They will not let the army of the Great Food come to die."
"How can you be sure that it must be caused by the precepters of the other camp?" Green Wing is a little puzzled, "I think it's natural? It's just that we are fighting. Of course, we have more opportunities to fight with each other's precepters, so we will see them. The people in their own camp are busy with their own tasks. How can they meet?
Zhang Fan smiled and said, "We are not sure, we are just guessing. But you should also be prepared in case. If the subsequent Dashiguo army does not play cards according to common sense, then this is confirmed. For example, if you don't come to Talos City. Or the main force of the Tang army has been besieged, which can fully show that the other party does have high-intelligent ringers.
"Yes, we just won the first game. The main force of the big food country has not moved, and there is still a good show later. Aken raised his glass and touched Zhang Fan, indicating that the two of them saw the same.
"Oh, you guys make up your mind. I'm going to ask the captain of the cavalry how to lead the troops. In the afternoon, I have to learn horse battles and formations. I don't have time to talk to you about these things. Green Wing drank all the wine in the clay glass, turned around and left.
Zhang Fan Aken looked at her back, looked at her leaving, smiled, and touched the cup again. "She has found the direction. She will be a very good vanguard general in the future."
"In that case, what are you going to do?" Zhang Fan asked.
"I'm wondering what the other party will do." Aken laughed.
"What should we do? Give us a condom." Zhang Fan said, "No, it's a trap for the Tang army. Mao Zu's common move against the Kuomintang, surrounds and fight for help!"
"What if Tang Jun arrives first? Historically, the Tang army first besieged and attacked the city of Talos. Aken asked.
"First lure the enemy deep, and then seize Talos City from behind." Zhang Fan said without hesitation.
Aken looked at him in surprise, with a different meaning, "That's good. I did a good job in my homework. You must be familiar with the art of war.
"In the past two days, I have competed with Li Siye for some military tactics. With what I saw in the book, I still got something." Zhang Fan nodded.
Aken smiled and said, "What else do you ask?" In the next two days, we will look for within 50 miles to see if there is a suitable place to ambush the army and see who will seduce him.
The two looked at each other and smiled and touched another cup.
............
These two days have exhausted Willis. The two owners really regard themselves as a free hard work force! This is not a small place in Japan, the vast western plateau, dozens of miles in diameter. For the plateau that spans thousands of miles, it is like walking around your home.
Zhang Fan Aken's current status in the army is not low, and he also has a relative degree of freedom. It makes sense to participate in the military inspection of the situation around the battlefield. However, he didn't even bring the guards and let the generals of the Tang army sweat for them. It's not peaceful here now.
However, the hard work was not in vain. Several suitable places for ambush were found around Talos City. There are long and narrow valleys that can lure the enemy into and ambush the highlands on both sides and shoot down.
There are low-lying places that can lure the enemy down and attack the cavalry on all sides.
There is a terrain with a gourd waist. Half of the enemy passes and attacks head-on, making the enemy retreat and the back can't come up.
There are also rivers and shoals, and there are forests nearby to ambush, waiting for the enemy to attack halfway.
After the two explored and understood, Zhang Fan returned to the city of Tanros, and Aken followed the cavalry who came forward to find the enemy. He had to discuss this matter with Duan Xiushi and see his opinion.
The next day, a gray pigeon flew out of Duan Xioshi's barracks and went east. There are more riders flying out...
The city defense was intensified in the city of Talos, and Duan Xiushi left 2,500 cavalry to assist in the city, and he took the initiative to attack with his other half. In this way, the two groups of people can take turns to attack, so that the horse personnel can get the best rest and strengthen the defense force of Talos City.
It didn't take long for Duan Xiushi's cavalry unit to fight against the vanguard of the offensive force of the Great Food Kingdom. Duan Xiushi won a small victory with the power of the cavalry. And quickly retreated to the vicinity of Talos City.
That night, Duan Xiushi entered the city, met Li Siye, and even called several military personnel. It turned out that Gao Xianzhi's army had arrived near the city of Rus. The letter also praised everyone very much and agreed to Duan Xiushi's plan to ambush the army of the Great Food Kingdom, ready to set up an ambush at a place so that Duan Xiushi's troops could try to attract the main enemy's main force.
On the second day, Duan Xiushi took 2,000 cavalry to pick up the enemy and left the main force of the Tang army's 3,000 cavalry in Talos City.
"According to historical records, Gao Xianzhi's siege of the city of Talos for five days, and the reinforcements of the Great Food State came, and there was a fierce battle under the city of Tanross..." Aken recalled the historical data in his heart, silently calculated the current progress of the Tang army and the Great Food Country, and made some corrections.
From the current point of view, the Great Food Country seems to have appeared a few days earlier than the historical records. There may be a deviation in historical materials, and there is also a reason for the intervention of the precept holders. Because the data is not enough, it is difficult to judge.
Gao Xianzhi's troops moved quickly, and the general was worthy of being the 'king of the mountains'. After receiving Duan Xiushi's proposed strategy, he immediately launched the operation. The march accelerated, recorded in historical records a day in advance, secretly bypassed the city of Talos, and arranged an ambush point on the route of the Great Food Country's army to attack Talos City in advance.
At this time, Aken found some clues of the precepters of the Tang army, and two precepters were found in the scouts who went out to explore the way. It seems that when the Tang army officially entered the battlefield, the scene mission began to appear.
The two scouts who explored the way completed their tasks well and had a relatively accurate grasp of the enemy's intelligence in the report. As a military strategist, Akan naturally saw it all, but he did not contact the two precepters.
He also needs to look at the arrangement of the follow-up tasks of the scene, search for more ways and data for the scene tasks to be released, and to grasp the number, distribution, task arrangements and other clues of the number of discipline holders in the whole scene, as well as the impact of senior discipline holders on the tasks of low-level discipline holders when they are in a higher status. This plays an important role in analyzing the status, influence and ability of the ring-hander.
10,000 troops came from the Great Food Country, and it was Ai Bu, the governor of the Great Food Country. The Muslim general is led by Albuda. It is the headquarters of the Great Food Country and is well-equipped. There are 5,000 cavalry, including 2,000 heavy cavalry!
This is the main force!
More information is that behind this unit, various anti-Tang Zhuhu troops in the Western Regions are gathering one after another! No more than 50,000 people! By Ibu. The leader of Qi Yad, another general of the Muslim governor, is also coming in the direction of Talos City! Among them, it is estimated that more than 12,000 are the main force of the army of the Great Food Country!
It seems to be a bad battle!
The strength of the two armies is similar. The main force of the Tang army headquarters is 20,000, the main force of the Great Food Country headquarters, and the remnants of the Saide army that retreated in Talos City are also more than 24,000.
Tang army mercenaries pulled more than 20,000 Hanna troops and 20,000 Geluo tribal army. The subsequent assembly of Zhuhu troops by the Great Food State is no more than 50,000, of which Shi Guo, as the leader of the initiative, is estimated to have sent nearly 30,000 troops. And it is still increasing.
But according to historical records, Ai Bu. Muslims are building a defense in Samarkand, a famous Arab city not far from the city of Talos, and preparing to fight against the Tang army for a long time.
Now Talos City has been captured by the Tang army. It can be attacked, retreated and defended, and the situation is relatively favorable. Moreover, the main equipment of the Tang army is much sharper than that of the Great Food Army of the same era.
Although the smelting technology of the Great Food Country is higher, their Damascus knife made of iron is slightly stronger than the horizontal knife made by the Tang army. However, the Tang Army's armor-making technology, represented by Mingguang Armor, is far ahead of them, with lighter weight and stronger defense!
More crossbow technology can be said to be unique in the world! Although the Arabs are nomadic troops and are good at riding and shooting, the types of crossbows are not as complete as the Tang army, and the range is even worse!
However, the Arab war horse is better than the Tang army's war horse, so the light cavalry riding the Arab war horse and wielding the Damascus knife is the best arms of the Arab army. Fast and strong attack. However, it was restrained by the soldiers of the Tang army. This has been practiced in the city of Talos, when Zhang Fan guarded the gate. Complete restraint!
Therefore, the bow and armor of the Tang army are weapons and armor that represent advanced combat effectiveness, which is better than the Great Food Army, and their combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than them.
However, Duan Xiushi and Aken's two thousand cavalry have no advantage. These two thousand soldiers have nothing to do except for being faster, that is, a cannon fodder.
Now this cannon fodder force has launched an attack on the elite of 10,000 food countries!
" boss, this cavalry force has caused a lot of trouble to our advance troops, and it seems to harass us tirelessly day and night!" The gloomy man whispered.
"They now have Talos City as the foundation, and the two cavalry troops take turns to rest. Naturally, we will not be tired of harassing us." The woman in white sneered. But they won't be angry for long. The troops go a little further. When Gao Xianzhi's troops appear, the strange soldiers I arranged will hit them hard!"
