Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2465 It's on the verge of fire!
Xue Rengui shouted: "Good!"

The morale is available, which makes him full of confidence: "His Majesty has sent letters many times, urging this general to strictly guard the Western Regions and not give the thieves any chance. This general has also issued military orders many times, and he will never betray His Majesty's trust! He is the most elite warrior of the empire, entrusted by His Majesty with a heavy responsibility, entrusted by the Western Regions, and will definitely serve him to the death and never back down!"

Hearing that His Majesty paid great attention to the Western Regions, everyone felt as if they had been beaten to death!
Now everyone knows that the national policy of the Tang Dynasty lies in the Eastern Expedition. His Majesty has been staring at the land of Goguryeo for more than ten years. He dreamed of including Goguryeo in his territory. The soldiers all over the world will inevitably feel that they are underestimated. up...

Now I suddenly found out that His Majesty has always cared about the Western Regions, why not excited?

This means that as long as you make meritorious deeds, His Majesty will not turn a blind eye, but will reward you generously!
Most of you here are Guanzhong men. Since ancient times, Qin people have joined the army for military merit. If you can’t do things like studying, you just count on military merit to increase your official title and confer your wife and son!
"Xue Sima don't worry, as long as the thieves dare to covet the Western Regions, we will be blood-stained on the battlefield, and we will kill them one by one, and kill one by two!"

"How dare you compete with my Celestial Dynasty?"

"Xue Sima, make a charter. At the end of the day, the general will invite the vanguard, and swear to destroy the barbarians!"

A group of generals and schools were enthusiastic, eager to fight, and took the initiative to ask for a fight.

Xue Rengui clenched his fists and said loudly: "Very good! This time, the enemy raided thousands of miles away, hiding all the way, obviously not wanting to fight me head-on, and has been avoiding the main force of our army. If so, we will not What kind of strategy do we need to formulate? The enemy bandits are numerous and there are tens of thousands of soldiers. However, our Anxi army is the elite of the empire, and each of them can be compared to ten. No matter how many enemies there are, why do we have to be afraid? Now that we have found the traces of the enemy bandits, we will come out in full force , give it a head-on blow, and decide with one blow!"

It is impossible to divide the troops. The total number of the Anxi Army is about [-], and there are more than [-] troops staying in Duhufu. There are garrisons in Qiuci, Shule and other places, and there are nearly [-] soldiers in total.

Now that the Arabs are heading north from Rehai, no matter whether they attack Zhaosu or go straight to Gongyue City, it is too late to mobilize the soldiers from Kucha and Shule. The only army he can command is more than [-] troops from Gongyue City and Zhaosu City , it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops, otherwise it will give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they will be defeated one by one.

Simply concentrate your forces, head-to-head, and fight the enemy bandits without fancy!
He has sufficient confidence in the combat power of the soldiers under his command, and he is even more confident in the firearms equipped in the army!The two armies confront each other head-to-head. He believes that as long as the Tang army's firearms are arrayed, the two wings are not lost, and the rear is continuous, it will be enough to fight against an enemy ten times stronger than himself!

"Here!"

The generals responded with a bang.

Later, Xue Rengui assigned detailed tasks one by one, and then gathered soldiers, equipped weapons, and checked firearms.

Two hours later, the Tang army stationed in Gongyue City came out in full force, and the sand and dust rolled straight towards the direction of Atami.

At the same time, Xue Rengui sent someone to issue an order to the defenders of Zhaosu City to abandon the city and join his own army, and even sent someone to protect Li Xiaogong, the governor of Anxi, who was far away in Jiaohe City.

The barbarians and merchants in the city were all stunned. No one knew what happened. Why did all the Tang troops stationed here attack and go directly south?
It is estimated that there is a big battle to be fought.

Of course, even though there are only a few hundred Tang troops staying in Gongyue City at this moment, none of the barbarians dared to take the opportunity to cause chaos. After all, the changes in the Western Regions last year were a lesson for others. As a result, as soon as Li Ji's army arrived, those Turkic people were invincible and fled thousands of miles away. Only the armies of various countries could not escape. They were killed by the Tang army.

Even those people with ulterior motives will have to wait for the news of Tang Jun's failure before they dare to make any further calculations...

……

The more than ten thousand fierce soldiers are all cavalry, galloping southward like lightning all the way, crossing the sand dunes and raising rolling yellow sand, with a menacing aura.

All the reconnaissance cavalry and scouts went out and marched tens of miles ahead of the army, not letting go of any anomalies. Two hundred miles away from the city, they joined the thousands of troops from Zhaosu City.

After another two hundred miles, scouts came to report that traces of the Arab army were found more than a hundred miles ahead!

Xue Rengui and all the generals around him were shocked and asked loudly, "What is the direction of the enemy army and how many soldiers are there?"

The scout replied: "The enemy army is in the middle of the Yili River, all the way to the west along the river, judging from the direction of their march, it should be rushing towards Zhaosu City. There are a huge number of them, visually estimated to be between 6 and [-], and the baggage is extremely heavy. Few, but not many cavalry."

Xue Rengui unfolded the marching map he was carrying, and let the scout approach him, pointing out where the enemy army is currently.

Now, thanks to the huge investment of the Ministry of War, they have either placed secret workers or bought merchants all over the world, and dispatched the scribes trained by the headquarters to be proficient in mathematics and surveying and mapping to all parts of the world to continuously draw detailed maps of various places, not only the distribution of cities. , distance, even the topography is clear at a glance, and there are descriptions of local customs, customs, and national systems, and Goguryeo and the Western Regions are the most important.

On the map in front of me, the direction of the mountains and the distribution of peaks of Yili Mountain, the twists and turns of the Yili River, and where it passes are all detailed and unobstructed.

The scouts moved forward, carefully observed the map, and then clicked a point in the north of Rehai, on the banks of the Yili River.

This place is located between Yili Mountain and Yili River. It is an oasis... Xue Rengui saw that although this place is backed by Yili Mountain, the terrain is flat and the field of vision is wide. It is suitable for large cavalry regiments to fight. The room for dispatching generals, once encountered, is a battle to the death.

Either win or lose.

He asked again: "When you come to observe closely, have you ever been spotted by the enemy?"

The scout said guiltily: "The land is wide open. When we were observing the enemy army, we were accidentally discovered by the enemy army. At this moment, we must have known that our army is coming."

Xue Rengui sighed, secretly thinking that it was so.

In the battle between such open areas, most of the tactics of marching and setting up the formation will not be used. The vastness of the four fields is clear at a glance, and no amount of conspiracy and tricks will be used. Once encountered, it can only be a solid and fierce battle. , completely relying on their own strength to speak.

However, many generals and schools in the Tang army did not have the slightest sense of depression, and they would never lose morale just because the enemy was several times their own.

From Eastern Turks to Tuyuhun, from Xue Yantuo to the Western Regions, didn't the Tang army win more with less in that battle?
Looking at the world, there is no country, no barbarian, that can make Datang fight with all its strength!
So even if Goguryeo is wiped out next year, it is enough to be proud...

Xue Rengui put away the map, straightened his waist, looked around with tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice: "This is a tough battle!"

The generals were not even half down, but their morale was high.

"Haha, my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, when did we not fight a tough battle? It's not a tough battle, we don't bother to raise our spirits!"

"Sima Jin, please don't worry. Although the enemy bandits are numerous and powerful, they will inevitably be exhausted when they march thousands of miles away. How can we be invincible?"

"No matter how tough the enemy bandits are, if they dare to invade our frontiers, they will come and go!"

"very good!"

Xue Rengui praised and said loudly: "These bandits are trying to capture the Western Regions and open the road to Chang'an, so as to conquer the Tang Dynasty and enslave all the Han people! As soldiers, we should serve the king and defend our home and country!"

He jumped on his horse, watched all the generals around him get on their horses, and raised his arms and said, "Let the thieves and bandits appreciate the bravery of our Great Tang's tigers, and let them remember for all their lives that there must be someone who dares to invade the territory of the Great Tang There is no return, there is death but there is no life!"

"Boys, fight to the death with me!"

All the generals raised their arms to make peace, and the soldiers behind them also shouted like thunder. At the same time that Xue Rengui waved down fiercely, ten thousand horses galloped like thunder!

……

On the banks of the Yili River less than a hundred miles ahead, an Arab general wearing a silver helmet and beard like a halberd sits on a horse. His armor is shining silver in the sun. Looking at the vast Gobi desert on the north bank of the river with green eyes, he clenched the letter that had just arrived from deployment in his hand.

Herod, the war horse under his crotch, snorted, and the hooves of the bowl-sized horse paved the soil, as if he wanted to gallop across the river on the Gobi.

But the reins were pulled tightly by the general...
