Chapter 711 The End of the Road
At the end of the time, the night has already come. The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the breeze is blowing gently. It is really a rare good weather in the desert. However, the big food officers and soldiers stationed on the banks of the Ames obviously have no intention to enjoy such beautiful scenery. From time to time, the wailing of the wounded soldiers is frightening. After the defeat, the officers and soldiers are stunned. Without the spirit of the past, and without the noise and noise of camping a few days ago, they all sat in their respective tents dullly, their hearts were like dead ashes, and people were like wood carvings and clay sculptures.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, several huge butter candles burned, seeping the dim yellow light into the thick black, but it did not reduce the darkness in such a large tent. Instead, it made the dark atmosphere in the tent a little stronger. Mustafa Ibenyang, who was as pale as paper, was covered with a thick blanket and lay with his eyes closed. On the wide marching couch, motionless, it was as if it had passed away. A few steps in front of the couch, Mohammed Subin Hussein, with a sad face, stared at the governor on the couch, with a dead gray in his eyes.
The army was defeated, and it was defeated like this. Since the establishment of the Great Food Kingdom, it has never been defeated so miserably. 150,000 troops have sacrificed the lives of nearly 30,000 soldiers and soldiers after only one day of fighting, and more than 10,000 injured people. Such a defeat made Muhammad Suben Hussein shudder when he thought about it. I feel that what kind of devils the Tang army ambushed on all sides can easily beat their 150,000 soldiers like this.
"Cough cough..."
Just as Mohammed Suben Hussein was full of thoughts, Mustafa Ibenyan, lying on the marching couch, suddenly burst into a fierce cough and gasp, and his pale face instantly turned into a deep purple color.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency!"
Hearing the sound, not only the waiter beside Mustafa Ibenyan rushed forward, but also Muhammad Suben Hussein rushed to the bed and called nervously.
"I'm fine. Let's go back. Let's go!"
Mustafa Ibenyan straightened up with difficulty, frowned and waved his hand, and drove all the servants around him out of the tent. Only Muhammad Subin Hussein was left alone in the tent. He sighed sadly and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Your Excellency, there is nothing that can't be done yet. Tomorrow morning, the last general will fight again with heavy troops. It is necessary to break through the mouth of the valley!"
Muhammad Suben Hussein has always been favored by Mustafa Ibenyan, and he has always served Mustafa Ibenyan with the courtesy of his uncle. At this time, he saw that Mustafa Ibenyang was so sad, and his anger rose, so he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"It's useless. It can't be done again, and the anger can't be vented. Although there are still 100,000 people in my army today, I'm already afraid and can't use it. It's difficult to break the valley again. I don't think about it anymore."
Mustafa Ibenyan could feel the heat and persistence in Mohammed Subin Hussein's heart, but he did not say encouraging words, but shook his head and pointed out the truth in a heavy tone.
"The adult treats me like a father, but the last general can't share the worries for the adult. The last general is ashamed, the last general..."
The reason why this army was deeply encircled was because of his greed and eager progress. Muhammad Subin Hussein was so sad that he couldn't say anything, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"Let's not talk about this. Listen, I have something for you to do."
Mustafa Ibenyang has led the army to fight for most of his life, and he has not been defeated, but he has never been defeated as tragic as it is today. He has already had the understanding of complete defeat in his heart, but he can't sit back and watch the whole Dashi Empire fall into the crisis of destroying the country. At this time, he has the idea of explaining the future, and he doesn't want to listen to the silence. De Suben Hussein's words of self-reproach, which waved his hand and interrupted his speech.
"Your Excellency, even if the last general is desperate, he will do it!"
Hearing Mustafa Iben's strange words, Mohammed Suben Hussein hurriedly wiped his face with tears and answered.
"You participated in the whole process of today's battle. Tell me, how is the combat power of the Tang army better than my strong army?"
Mustafa Ibenyan was not in a hurry to make an explanation, but exhaled softly and asked in a bleak tone.
"If you go back to your excellency, the strength of the Tang army is still above our strong army, especially the advanced military equipment, let alone my ability to eat."
Although Mohammad Subin Hussein didn't want to admit it in his heart, he honestly said his judgment.
"Yes, it's much stronger than my big food. The soldiers are brave, the military is excellent, and the ambition is also great. This is not a country that I can eat and can fight. I'm afraid of death. It's a small matter for me to die here. If the caliph can't get accurate information, I'm afraid that he will inevitably be furious and rise up again. If so, I Great food is in danger. It is already annoying to have an east of Rome as the enemy. In addition, the fierce wolf of the Tang Dynasty, there is no place for me to stand for the big food. What I want you to do is to go down the river at night, go down the river with a raft, rush to Damascus, meet the caliphate, report the details of the war and my advice, and be sure to send an envoy to get the understanding of the Tang Dynasty. In order to conclude a peace treaty, remember, remember!"
Mustafa Ibenyang took a few breaths, calmed down, shook his head sadly, and then said a series of words that stunned Muhammad Subin Hussein.
"Ah..., this, your excellency..."
Hearing Mustafa Ibenyang's last words, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley, and his eyes were wide open for persuasion, but for a moment, he didn't know where to start, and the blue veins on his forehead burst out.
"I'm fine. These more than 100,000 children are brought out by me. Naturally, I should give them an explanation. Tomorrow I will lead the army to try to cross the river. If I can get rid of it, it's okay. If not, everything can only be up to you. Hussein, don't let me down. Go ahead."
Mustafa Iben smiled with a sigh, and the haze was gone. He talked about it proudly. Finally, he patted Mohammed Suben Hussein on the shoulder heavily, and at the end of the time, he ordered the expulsion.
"Your Excellency!"
Mohammad Suban Hussein shouted sadly, but he didn't say anything more. He kowtowed a few times. However, he got up and strode away from the central army without looking back.
"Tomorrow will be a good day, hehe, I hope so, the true God is on!"
What should be said has been done. Mustafa Ibenyang's mood suddenly relaxed, with a slight smile on the corners of his mouth. He stretched out his waist. After sighing, he fell heavily on the marching couch, closed his eyes, and there was no more sound...
On April 27th, the third year of Yifeng, at four o'clock, it was sunny and before dawn. Lin Chengbin woke up. After hurriedly grooming, he strode out of the tent. However, before he reached the highest point of the top of the mountain, he saw a sentry hurriedly greeted him. Lin Chengbin immediately stopped and frowned. He raised the ground gently, but he was not in a hurry to ask.
"General, the enemy camp by the river has changed. It seems that a lot of rafts and leather boats have been tied up overnight. They should be preparing to cross the river and escape. Please make it clear to the general."
The sentry took a few steps, grabbed Lin Chengbin's body, and rushed to report.
"Oh?"
As soon as he heard that the Great Food Army was about to cross the river now, Lin Chengbin's eyebrows suddenly frowned. Obviously, the Great Food Army's move was a little beyond Lin Chengbin's expectation. In his opinion, the Great Food Army should have chosen such a road at the end of the road. After all, the Amu River at this time is in the spring flood, and the water is surging. It is difficult for horses to cross. In addition, the surrounding peaks and trees are scarce, and there are almost no materials that can be used to make boats. Relying on the little material in the barracks, how many boats can be made. Even if it is transported back and forth day and night, it will take more than ten days for more than 100,000 troops to cross the Am River. Once it does not succeed, the morale of the army is afraid of all. It's over. This move was obviously too risky. Lin Chengbin couldn't figure out what the other team's coach's intentions were for a moment, so he was not in a hurry to give an order, but whispered softly and strode to the top of the top of the mountain.
The Great Food Army is really preparing to cross the river. Although the sky is not yet completely bright, Lin Chengbin can easily see the busyness behind the Great Food Army camp through monoculars. Dozens of simple boats made of horse carriages and leather tents are scattered by the river, and a team of cannibals is busy. He was making the final reinforcement for the boat. Large bundles of leather ropes were piled up with half of the boats. Obviously, the cannibal army did not intend to rely on such small boats to cross the whole army, but planned to build several rope bridges on the Eminem River. This is completely a desperate move. The bet is that the Tang army is arranged the right. The army on the shore is insufficient!
"Send the order, send a signal to the other side, and all departments are ready to fight immediately. Be sure to smash the thief's attempt to cross the river!"
After watching for a while, Lin Chengbin was sure that the Great Food Army was really going to cross the river, instead of designing to lure the Tang army down the mountain to fight a decisive battle. He picked up the corners of his mouth and couldn't help sneering. He raised his hand and resolutely gave the order.
"No!"
Lin Chengbin gave this order, and the messengers on the side did not dare to neglect it. He answered the promise loudly, quickly waved the two small flags in his hand, and conveyed the order to Xiao Sanlang's troops ambushed in the mountains on the other side of the river.
At the right time, the sun had poked its head from the top of the mountain. The golden sun dispelled the mist floating on the river like a sharp sword. With a sad horn sound in the big food barracks, nearly a hundred small boats that had been on standby for a long time brushed the ground. The big eater on the boat followed the sound of the trumpet and rushed The rough wood pulp cut through the surface of the water and crossed to the other side of the river...
