Chapter 293 Siege
Aken and Zhang Fan also rushed into the valley and chased for a while, mainly to complete the task of collecting props in the scene.
In this way, the two collected dozens of Damascus knives and several intact Arab war horses. It's all killed by Old Kill and Willis. The two monsters, after Arken's order, only attacked the horse's cavalry.
It was just the Tang army that swarmed up, but desperately killed some of the cavalry and horses they had finally subdued, and scolded Aken with heartache.
For good, the gap between the number of tasks completed is not very large. If you fight like this again, you can collect them all.
The Tang army sorted out the formation and withdrew from the valley. Akan and Zhang Fan strongly advised Gao Xianzhi to return to the city of Talos with the light infantry of the Tang army. Aken led the Tang cavalry and attracted the pursuit of the Arab light cavalry.
"Gao Shuai, Talos City is besieged by nearly 100,000 soldiers, and you need your command more. That is the foundation of the Tang army! General Li Siye is brave and invincible, and he can get out of trouble!" Aken persuaded.
Zhang Fan and several Tang military lieutenants also advised: "Gao Shuai, keep the green mountains, and don't worry about firewood. As long as the city of Talos is not lost, we still have a chance to defeat the Great Food Country. As long as you break the siege of the city, you will be able to rescue General Li Siye!"
Gao Xianzhi can't do it. He also knows that if he risks back, it will be of no benefit to the war. This is to put himself in danger. If he is unsuspable and the Tang army loses its morale, it's really over!
So Gao Xianzhi told Aken, "You can lead the troops to the Broken Leaf City, where I asked General Feng Changqing to take 4,000 Tianwei troops to guard. This man has a good way to govern the army. With his help, you can retreat from the pursuers.
Aken held his fist and took the order and sighed in his heart that this great cannibal may have gone to the Broken Leaf City! I'm afraid there will be a fight between me and her, which is inevitable.
Gao Xianzhi hid with 3,000 Tang troops and retreated to the city of Talos when Akan led the cavalry to attract the Dashiguo light cavalry.
............
Speaking of the general of the Great Food Kingdom, I can't understand where this Tang army's ambush came from. The woman in white knew that this must be the Tang army of Talos City, who sneaked out of Talos City in some way.
Well, it seems that the Tang army must have found some secret passage. Those Tang soldiers who made trouble in the city when attacking Talos City did not sneak in, but sneaked in through the secret passage!
Now the defense of the Tang army in the city is empty, which is a good opportunity to attack the city. The woman in white immediately informed the fierce king of this situation and asked him to persuade General Qi Yade to lead the barbarian troops to attack the city of Los.
At this time, the cavalry of the Great Food Kingdom came to report that there was no one in the valley, and the cavalry led by Gao Xianzhi went east.
"Hey, that's right." The woman in white was overjoyed, "General, let's continue to chase! Gao Xianzhi must have run to Broken Leaf City! We pursued and took the opportunity to take this important town!"
"..." Saeed seemed to be a little hesitant.
"Don't the general want to be ashamed of seizing the city in a snow?" The woman in white encouraged him to say, "Now that the Tang army is surrounded in two places, and it is difficult to take care of the head and the end. The important town of Anxi is empty. Why don't we put the iron hooves of the Abbas Empire on the territory of the Tang Dynasty and completely defeat the Tang army! The caliph once said that whoever sets foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty first is the governor of the Tang Dynasty! General, this is the best moment!"
After hearing this, Said became ambitious again and nodded, "Yes, this is indeed the best opportunity. Even if you can't take the broken leaf city, an important town in Anxi, it can make Tang Jun here have scruples. Let's chase!"
............
Zhang Fan stood high in the mountain and looked at several people and horses dispersed, thinking a little about Aken's safety. This wise man of the great food country has fought with his side several times, quite like Aken's opponent. It is really unpredictable to go to Yecheng.
Talos City now has Gao Xianzhi back to sit in the town. Although there are many soldiers besieging the city, they are all rabbles, and the city defense should be in no place. Li Siye will go and have a look immediately, hoping that there is a way to save Tang Jun over there.
Thinking of this, he drove Willis all the way to the battlefield.
Five miles away from the battlefield, Zhang Fan faintly saw the momentum of a dragon in the air in front of him, a little depressed, and a tiger and a wolf surrounded it, as if he was about to choose an opportunity to eat!
There was no sound of fighting on the battlefield. It seems that both sides are temporarily resting. Zhang Fan went up a highland. From afar, he saw thousands of people and horses of the Tang army surrounded on a highland. On one side of the high ground was a cliff, and on the other side was a wide slope.
The wise man of the Great Food Kingdom designed to raid Tang Jun before leaving. Although he killed and injured some of the Tang army, he also let Li Siye's cavalry troops find an opportunity to capture this highland that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, thus retreating here and protecting most of the army.
The shield soldiers of the Tang army formed several defense lines in the outer circle, guarding several important paths, and the light infantry behind them were all long guns and arrows, condescending. Nearly 2,000 cavalry linger in high places, waiting for the opportunity to charge.
More than 10,000 food-eating troops and more than 4,000 Geluo tribal troops in the highlands blocked the high road, but they did not dare to attack rashly.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Fan ate some military food by himself and secretly lurked under the cliff on the side of the highland, which was dangerous and there was no enemy guard. Zhang Fan looked at it and think that he should be able to climb up.
............
"Who?" The sergeant on the cliff was very alert and quickly pulled out his horizontal knife and pointed to the dark shadow that had just emerged from below.
"It's me, Zhang Fan." Zhang Fan was out of breath, looked at his blade and shouted quickly.
"Doctor Zhang?" There was joy in his voice, "Law him up!"
"Zhang joined the army? Is that you?" Li Siye was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Fan, "You came just in time. Many of our brothers have been seriously injured. Please treat them quickly. They are the bravest warriors of the Tang Dynasty!"
I was relieved to see Zhang Fan, the military doctor of the imperial medical department, Li Siye and several officers. Now his soldiers are nearly half injured and hundreds of serious injuries. If they can be treated in time, their combat effectiveness can be greatly increased.
'Carial of injuries': Treat the soldiers under General Li Siye as soon as possible to give his troops combat effectiveness. Before dawn, the physically injured soldiers recovered to more than 60% of their physical strength, and every 5 soldiers recovered to 60%, with 100 merit points and 1 bonus point.
Good guy, this is simply sending merit and bonus points to Zhang Fan! The meritorious value is not only, but the bonus point can't be bought. In order to improve the strength and the bonus point, it's worth exhaustion of willingness! This night, Zhang Fan was very busy!
Zhang Fan came to the area where the seriously injured were concentrated, and the 'Six Diamond Mantra' was shining. Because of the 'crazy Zen' aid, more than 35% of his physical strength was solved first. For those seriously injured with broken intestines and broken hands and feet, they will be treated one by one.
This night, Zhang Fan supplemented three times with blue supplies, and finally rescued the soldiers who could be cured by Li Siye. Counting the merit, it is still a loss. However, the bonus points can't be bought with merit and blue supplies!
After the number of Li Siye's soldiers, there are about 4600 left and nearly 2,000 cavalry, and now their combat effectiveness has almost recovered. However, the supply is only three days, which is the amount carried by the soldiers.
But Li Siye is not ready to break through, and the pressure of Los City is also great. If he brings more than 10,000 enemy elites there, he can't stand it. Moreover, the breakthrough will damage more of the strength of the Tang army, because in addition to cavalry and strange soldiers who are good at attacking, the remaining light infantry may find it difficult to highlight the heavy military encirclement of the Great Food Kingdom!
What's more, even if you arrive at the city of Talos, there are pursuers behind, and there are besieged troops in front of them. Whether you can enter or not, there are still two things to say. If you can't do it well, you can rush over and make it round.
If you just stick to it, this supply is indeed a headache...
Zhang Fan reported the situation here to Green Wing. Green Wing sent a letter. Gao Xianzhi has entered the city through secret channels and is discussing how to assist Li Siye.
The soldiers outside have been attacking the city like crazy these two days, but the quality of this mob is similar to that of the peasant uprising. It sounds like 100,000 troops, but in fact, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 real elite soldiers.
Other tribes are made up for the old, weak, sick or ordinary people. Except for Shi and Turk Shi, the two tribes that were killed by Gao Xianzhi, who would really come here with their old foundation and fight with the Tang army?
When Green Wing received a notice from Zhang Fan, he reported the situation of Li Siye's army to Gao Xianzhi and Duan Xiushi.
"Zhang has joined the army, which is not bad. He is a military doctor of the imperial medical department, and Li Siye should be able to recover more than half of his combat effectiveness. Well, you and General Duan will take a thousand cavalry and 500 knife soldiers to support them. Oh, if you want to break through the battle, try to match the swordsman as much as possible. Gao Xianzhi arranged, "There are not enough horses. Put my horses and all the officers' horses together!"
"Also, every supporting soldier brings enough food, grass and water! Take as much as you can!" Gao Xianzhi added, "I remember General Duan, your logistics skills..."
Duan Xiushi nodded and wrote down and asked, "Gao Shuai, we have taken away many elites. What should we do in defending the city? The garrison outside is also short of people!"
Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "Well, cavalry and strange soldiers are used for attack. They are placed in the city, but they are buried. Moreover, if these soldiers attack the city, the people in it will be ruined! I will bewitched and attract some strength in the city to help me defend the city. Don't delay, go down and prepare quickly, and break through tonight!"
"Ye!" Duan Xioshi and Green Wings, as well as several leading lieutenants, bowed and retreated.
............
Late night, Zhang Fan heard that Green Wing and Duan Xiushi were on the way and quickly asked his guard to wake up Li Siye.
"General Li, I got the secret notice of the Green Wing Captain. General Duan has taken the cavalry and is on his way! Break in in the early morning! Let's also make some preparations!"
"What? Has Gao Shuai arrived in Talos City? Haha, he still remembers my Lao Li. He must have sent supplies. Li Siye was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Quick! Let the brothers stop sleeping and pick up General Duan with me!"
