Chapter 694 The First Battle of the Western Expedition 3
The sentence "The long river sets the sun is round, and the desert is lonely and the smoke is straight" says that the vastness and grandeur of the desert, but it is beautiful, but it can only be seen from afar. It is not easy to look at the scenery and enjoy the scenery. But if you really march on it, it is not very fun. The sun is hot above your head, and the heat on the ground is steaming. Attack, the smooth sand is soft and soft. Walking on it, it is very difficult. Even if you take a horse to go on the road, it is also very difficult. Although the army has long been used to such occasions, it is also tired. After walking for most of the day, the people and horses are tired, listless, everyone is depressed, and the vanguard army of more than 10,000 people is stunned. It's a few miles long, and the formation is too loose.
"Bah, his fuck, this damn weather!"
In the center of the army, the general of the big food forward army, Giard Ben Salisa, dressed in cyan plate armor, raised his hand and put his hand between his eyebrows and looked at the sky. Then he spit on the ground with thick phlegm full of fine dust and scolded fiercely. He looked back at the long team. He frowned and was full of displeasure. The ground shouted and said, "Send the order: The back team will speed up and keep up immediately. Those who dare to delay and do not enter will be cut off!"
"Woo-woo..."
Jiyad bin Salizar is cruel by nature. Originally, he was a general on the Western Front. His achievements were outstanding and killing people were not counted. However, he was extremely mean. He committed many crimes of killing soldiers. This was demoted to the Eastern Front as an official, but his bad habits are still difficult to change. He is known as a "blood butcher" in the army. Since he has issued an order, aside The messengers who were waiting did not dare to neglect themselves. They hurriedly untied the horn hanging from their waist, puffed up their cheeks, and blew wildly. In a second, the sparse forward army immediately heard the wind and ran forward.
"Huh, a bunch of waste, if it's really in the west, it's all dead!"
The forward army is already one of the most elite cavalry on the Eastern Front. The only one who can be stronger than this cavalry is the pro-guard in the hands of Mustafa Ibenyan, the governor of the Eastern Province. However, in the eyes of Giyad bin Saliza, it is still so weak that it can't compare with those heroes on the Western Front. On the other side, even if there is a majestic atmosphere between the ten thousand horses galloping, Giyad Ben Saliza still looked down and cursed disdainfully.
"Report, the Persian remnants of the barracks were found five miles ahead, please ask the Great Emir (the title of the general of the unified army) to make it clear!"
The forward army has just gathered in a row, and a flying horse has rushed over from the east at high speed. As soon as he saw Giyad bin Saliza standing on the side of the road, he hurriedly got off his horse with a rolling saddle and nodded on one knee and reported loudly.
"How many people are there? Have you ever found the Tang Dynasty?"
Although Giard Ben Salisa is a belligerent person, he is not a reckless man, but a fierce general for the rest of his life. He suddenly heard the enemy's news. Although he was extremely excited, he did not act recklessly, but cautiously asked questions.
"When I went back to the Great Emir, I only found more than 4,000 people and horses in Persia, stationed by the stream, and no Tang people had been seen in the surrounding area for several miles."
The army of the Dashi Empire is basically mainly cavalry, with strong machine power, and also attach great importance to the grasp of the dynamics of the battlefield. Whenever there is a war, the sentry is often sent more than ten miles away. There is only one purpose, which is to keep abreast of the changes in the enemy situation. Although the combat effectiveness of the Eastern Front is far less than that of the Western Front, it is no different in tactical arrangements. To, the whistleblower dared to come back to report the news. He had already figured out the dynamics of the enemy in the surrounding ten miles, and answered the question of Giard Ben Saliza, which was very straightforward.
"Four thousand? Hey hey, order: The whole army will attack and defeat the Persian bandits in one fell swoop!"
Giard Ben Salisa has been on the Eastern Front for some years. It is clear that the so-called Persian army is just a rabble of people who are mixed up with the Tuhuoluo tribes. At this time, when he heard that there were only 4,000 Persian troops in the barracks in front of him, he didn't look at it. He smiled coldly, waved his hand and loudly. Order to attack.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
With the order of Giard Ben Salissa, the sad horn immediately sounded. When the horses were galloping, the dust rolled up, and more than 10,000 troops ran eastward like a rolling dragon. The murderous spirit rose to the sky and rolled straight up to the nine days.
"Report, king, the big food dog thief is coming. It's less than three miles away from our army!"
Under the launch of the Great Food Cavalry Army, the momentum was like a rainbow, and the momentum was great. It was immediately found by the Persian cavalry sentry in charge of vigilance, and hurriedly reported to the Ni Ni Ni Division, who was waiting for news in the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Good luck, order, the whole army will retreat to the southeast immediately, and you can't fall in love with it!"
This time, Ni Nieshi was ordered to lead the tribal allied forces out of the camp. There was only one purpose, which was to lure the enemy deep. Although the vigilance outside the barracks was not strict, in fact, the soldiers in the depths of the barracks were already ready to retreat at any time. People did not unload their armor, horses did not unload their saddles, and waited for the arrival of the great cannibals. At this time, they heard the whistle. In this way, Ni Niishi did not dare to neglect it. Huo got up and hurriedly issued a withdrawal order.
"Chasing, chasing, killing all the thieves, no one left!"
Three miles of land is really not a long way for the galloping cavalry, not to mention in the vast desert, the vision is very wide. Not long after the Great Food Cavalry Army was launched, the chaotic Persian barracks has been exposed to the front of the Great Food Horses. This time, the Persian army fled from the barracks in a mess. When he came out, he didn't even have a complete formation. Giard Ben Salisa's heart rolled through a bloodthirsty impulse, stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, let go of his throat and roared, and launched a wild charge.
The big food cavalry are riding all Arabian horses. Although the horses of the troops on the eastern front are not as good as those on the western line, they are not comparable to those miscellaneous horses of the Persian allied forces. Under this rush, it is really like a whirlwind, and they have rushed to a place only one miles away from the Persian barracks in an instant, and At this time, the Persian tribal coalition had just escaped from the barracks. It was not long before the enemy came aggressively. The originally slightly organized retreat immediately evolved into an unmanageable escape. The situation fell into the eyes of the Great Food Cavalry, which stimulated the wild bloodthirsty instinct of the Great Food Army, and released the horses one by one. Rushing wildly, it only scared the Persian tribal allied forces to flee desperately. All kinds of banners were thrown to the ground along the road, and their helmets were removed. How embarrassed they were.
"Report, general, the vanguard of the Great Food Army has been attracted by the Persian army, less than three miles away from our army!"
Under the pursuit and escape of the Dashiqi Army and the Persian tribal allied forces, the momentum was amazing. Soon, the clue was found by the forward Tang army's sentry, and he hurriedly reported to Li He, who was ambushed behind a tall sand beam seven miles from the Persian military camp.
"The whole army is ready to fight!"
Since he wiped out Tubo, Li He has not seen blood for more than a year. At this time, he heard that the enemy was so great that he not only did not panic, but secretly excited, but did not bring it to his face, but flattened his face, waved his hand, and shouted.
"Wh!"
Li He's troops brought out this time are not much, only 3,000 horses, but it is basically an elite division based on the 100 war veterans of the He Huang Army in those years. When he heard the order, he was like a person. After only a muffled sound, the three thousand cavalrymen were all on the back of the horse.
"Up to the sand beam!"
Li He glanced at his high-spirited subordinates with satisfaction, but he didn't say much. As soon as he turned over, got on the horse's back, he pointed to the high sand beam with a horse whip, shouted, and took the lead in rushing the horse along the slope to the top of the sand beam. Seeing this, the army launched together. The sand and dust was all over the sky, and they were already scrambling to the ground. I rushed to the top of the sand beam.
"The whole army stops, array, array!"
After all, Giard Ben Saliza is a veteran of a hundred battles. Although he is highly excited to chase and kill the rebels, he has not forgotten to leave his instinct to observe the four directions. Although the movement of the Tang army rushing to the sand beam is not too big, he is keenly aware that something is wrong. He can't care about chasing and kill the nearby Persian rebels and roaring. The order to meet the enemy has been reached.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
With the order of Giard Ben Salissa, the shrill horn immediately sounded wildly, and the big food cavalry running forward like an angry wave instantly lowered the horse down. Everyone was riding, and the originally neat queue was in a mess. Fortunately, it was still a miles and a half away from the sand beam where the Tang army was located. However, he was not in a panic attack by the Tang cavalry. Under the roar of generals at all levels, more than 10,000 cavalry finally barely stabilized their positions and put on a square formation.
"Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"
The Ni Nie Division's headquarters was already close to the front line and would be overtaken by the Great Cannibal Army. He was panicking. When he saw that the Tang cavalry army on the left wing Shaliang finally came to pick him up according to the scheduled plan, he was relieved, but he did not dare to delay a little, and did not go to round with Li He's troops. He shouted and led the chaotic army around Shaliang and kept turning to The Surhan Valley flew away.
"It's Tang people! Sure enough, it's Tang people. Hey hey, it's just the right time. The whole army obeys the order and raises the knife!"
Giard Ben Salizar originally served on the Western Front. He had heard that the Red Sea Navy was completely annihilated by the Tang Fleet. He had also seen the sharpness of the large crossbow car built by the Tang people for the Great Food Army. He did not dare to underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Tang army. At the same time, he had long thought of competing with the Tang army. At this time, he saw the mountain beam. The strength of the Tang cavalry was not large, and the competitive heart rose up at once. He smiled ferociously, raised his knife, and shouted loudly.
"Wh!"
Although this big food cavalry army is far from the strong army of the country, it is not a miscellaneous army. The basic tactical literacy is still good. With only one order, more than ten thousand bright machetes have been raised like a forest and pointed diagonally at the Tang army on the sand beam. The meaning of the demonstration is extremely strong, and the two major military are strong. The country's first head-on competition is already on the string, and it will break out...
