Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3155 You have to lead the way

A group of generals hurried forward and persuaded in unison.

Since ancient times, when there was a war, where did the commander of the army charge forward?Not to mention bypassing the enemy's front and attacking the rear.Furthermore, whether the war is won or not is second to none. Yazid is Mu'awiyah's favorite son. It was not Ye Qide's turn to serve as the commander-in-chief to lead the army to fight.

If there is any trouble, all of them will have to be buried alive by the tyrannical Mu'awiyah...

Everyone persuaded in unison, and Ye Qide also felt that there was some truth. After all, he was different from the past, and he was already the heir of the empire. How could he be willing to take risks like before?

After thinking for a while, Cong remonstrated Ruliu: "In this case, let Khorasang go, take the 'Sword of Allah', and capture Suiye City for the commander, and clear the way to the Tang Dynasty!"

"Here!"

A short, sturdy man with a beard stood up and bowed to his orders, his armor clanging loudly.

The "Sword of Allah" is not a weapon, but an army.

This is an army mainly composed of Khorasan cavalry, which is often called the "January Guards" by the Arabs. It is Mu'awiyah's most elite direct line force. Hundreds of thousands of troops loyal to the previous caliph still retreated.

It is the elite among the elite of the Dashi army. It has always been considered not inferior to the "Persian Immortal Army" in ancient times and the current "Byzantine Armored Cavalry". The foundation of the world.

The hometown of "Khorasan" is in the Western Regions. Balihei, Herat, Nishapur, and Mulu are the four tribes of "Khorasan".However, when the Huns ravaged the Western Regions, they slaughtered the "Khorasan". Later, the Turks rose and occupied all of this land. , Rome and other places linger on.

The "Khorasan" people are brave and good at fighting, loyal and reliable, and have won the trust of Mu'awiyah.Now, they are all in the hands of Ye Qide, and he will embark on the road to conquer the Tang Dynasty with him, and spread the invincible glory of Arabia to the world!

Since the day the "Sword of Allah" became an army, it has never been defeated!
Ye Qide was so ambitious that he pointed at Changsun Han again, and said, "Since your Excellency provided the news, you will lead the way. When the army commanded by me is storming Broken Yecheng, you will accompany 'Allah's Jian' together to sneak attack on West City. After the matter is completed, I will naturally reward you."

But if this news is false, then you will be cut into pieces by the "Sword of Allah".

Changsun Han complained in his heart, he just listened to Yuan Wei's words when he was out of the city, so he wanted to make a fortune at this moment, but he didn't expect this big cannibal to be extremely cautious...

How did he become a "leading party" in a daze?Since ancient times, no matter who was forced to help or greedy for profit, no one who led the foreign race to attack the Central Plains got a good end.

The most important thing is that once he was recognized by the Anxi army when he attacked Suiye City, not only would he not be able to return to Chang'an in this life, but even the entire Changsun family would be charged with the suspicion of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" and suffer the whole world. People spurn accusations...

At this time, his intestines were turning green with regret, but he didn't dare to turn back, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "This is my honor."

Ye Qide laughed loudly, with great ambitions in his chest, as if the entire Western Regions belonged to the territory of Arabia, he said proudly: "This commander will lead you to expand the territory and create a great achievement. Your descendants , are all my servants, sharing wealth and honor, and never forsaking each other!"

The military generals in the tent echoed one after another: "Wealth and wealth are shared, and we will never abandon each other!"

Ye Qide became more and more happy when he saw that people's hearts were cohesive and morale was boosted.He felt that as long as he finished this battle, his feats and prestige would reach the peak. No one in the empire could threaten his status as the heir to the caliphate. Take charge of this huge empire and enjoy the most extreme power in the world.

……

After a rest that night, the whole barracks became noisy before dawn the next day.The Huotou army got up to make food, and the soldiers hurriedly inspected the ordnance and equipment, fetched fodder from the supply camp to feed the horses, and then gathered together for breakfast.

The breakfast was very simple, just some beans added to the wheat bran and boiled in water, without even salt, and the soldiers ate it in earthen pots, that's all.

Although simple and difficult, the soldiers were not dissatisfied.The logistics and supplies of the entire Thai and Western countries have never been systematic. The army rarely prepares supplies in advance. Most of the time, they fight while looting. If they win, they plunder the enemy's food and armaments. If they are defeated, they discard everything and flee... …

So the soldiers are very calm, they understand that only by capturing the next city can they have supplies, and if they are defeated, they can only return to their hometown hungry.

Whether to eat meat or drink wind for the next meal depends entirely on whether Suiye City can be captured...

After the army was reorganized, they set off immediately.

More than [-] soldiers were divided into several groups, and marched towards Suiye City in a mighty manner. On the way, all scouts were dispatched. Ye Qide was stationed in the central army, and constantly received feedback from various parties. Make appropriate modifications.

Three days later, they arrived thirty miles outside Suiye City.

On the way, I encountered multiple Anxi Army scouts, but the opponents did not start a war with the Arabs. They scouted the Arab army from a distance, and escaped calmly before the Arab scouts caught up.

Ye Qide rode his horse and stood on a mound, tapping his riding boots lightly with the whip in his hand, looking past the mighty soldiers at the foot of the mound, and betting on the city standing abruptly on the plain in the distance.

A puff of black smoke rose from Suiye City, circling and flying in the air. Even at a distance of thirty miles, it seemed that one could still smell the smell of burnt grain.

"What a jerk!"

Ye Zide's face was gloomy, and he cursed bitterly.

Obviously, the Anxi army knew that they were defeated by the hundreds of thousands of Arab troops, so they fortified the walls and cleared the fields in advance, burned all the luggage in the city, and only waited for a last stand.Even if the city is finally broken, there will be no grain of rice left for the Arabs.

Ye Qide had also fought different battles, but no matter which one, the enemy had no choice but to burn food and weapons when the city was broken. After all, he had to struggle... But the Anxi army was very decisive , I haven't started fighting yet, let's burn the food first.

You can't capture the soldiers of Anxi Army, cook them and eat them, right?
Ye Qide felt a little headache. There are thousands of races in this world, and the Han people are the most annoying...

But when things came to an end, there was no other way.

"Camp along the leeward side, beware of rain at night, the whole army is rectified, at midnight tonight, the whole army will attack the city!"

Ye Qide immediately ordered.

The army carried insufficient food and fodder. Since the fire in Suiye City had obviously burned all the food, there was no need to delay here. We should capture Suiye City as soon as possible and march towards the hinterland of the Western Regions.The Anxi Army can't burn every city, right?
If this is the case, it means that the Anxi Army will hand over these cities, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely not agree.

Furthermore, even if there is no food in the city, there are many tribes in the Western Regions, and casually looting a few tribes can still make up enough food for the army.

In short, far from delaying the pace of progress, we must accelerate it.

Even if the shortage of food cannot be solved for a while, as long as the city is continuously plundered, the soaring morale is enough to offset the lack of food and fodder.

On the contrary, if he hesitates in a certain place, which leads to a decrease in morale, it will be a disaster.

Although the Arab soldiers have firm beliefs and are willing to go through life and death under the orders of the Caliph, they are still flesh and blood, and they must have enough to eat...

"Here!"

All the generals around were ordered to rush down the hills one after another, return to their respective units to organize camp, and then rectify the army, preparing for the night battle.

Ye Qide glanced at the grandson Han who had been with him all the time, and said to Khorasang: "After midnight tonight, you will command the 'Sword of Allah', and take advantage of the chaos to go around the periphery of Suiye City and go straight to the west wall to attack the city. City equipment attack, oh, don’t forget to bring this friend of the grandson’s family and let him lead you the way. If the west city wall is really as vulnerable as he said, you will be rewarded in return; but if you talk nonsense, nonsense Ba Dao, you should pay homage to the soldiers who died in this battle with his head under the city wall! Regardless of whether the west city wall is vulnerable or not, there is only one goal, and that is to capture Suiye City before sunrise tomorrow at all costs! "

"promise!"

Horasan hammered the breastplate with his hands, and there was a clang.

Changsun Han let out an "Ah" with a shocked expression on his face, and secretly groaned in his heart.
