Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3332

Ye Qide was sitting in the tent of the Chinese army, listening to the faint sound of fighting outside the tent, his expression was extremely ugly.

Who would have thought that an elite cavalry sent out to sneak for hundreds of miles, just to ambush the Youtunwei who had a bloody battle with the Turks, was defeated and the whole army was wiped out?If Changsun's family hadn't sent someone to notify him, he would not have known that the cavalry had been destroyed, and the Anxi army's reinforcements were about to arrive.

He admitted that the Tang army's combat power was extremely high, and he stormed all the way with almost ten times the strength of the troops, but he still failed to cause great damage to the Anxi army. There is no way to find supplies.

But he didn't take seriously the warning from the eldest grandson's family.

What kind of impact can an army of no more than [-] people have on the situation in the Western Regions?The number of troops he lost in the battle of Suiye City was almost twice that...

During the Tang Dynasty's national expedition, all the troops, supplies, and ordnance were given priority to the Liaodong battlefield. Even if they wanted to retreat at this moment, it would be too late to help the Anxi army. As long as the Arabs grit their teeth and fight this battle, they will surely win the battle. thing.

At that time, not only will they be able to invade and occupy the entire Western Region, but once soldiers approach the Yumen Pass, who can break through the pass in one fell swoop, enter the heart of the Tang Dynasty, and take advantage of the trend to overthrow it?

Of course this is almost impossible.

The "Sword of Allah" and the cavalry that went to the hinterland of the Western Regions were already the elite of the Arab army, but they were wiped out one after another without even splashing a splash, which made him have no combat effectiveness against the Tang army. Recognition.

But even though he has repeatedly raised the level of evaluation of the Tang army's combat power, he still does not think that the reinforcement of a single right guard can change the status quo of the Western Regions battle.Under the protection of the prophets and gods, the Arabs still occupy a dominant position. The Tang army can only fight and retreat, blocking the advance of the Arab army with the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field...

Therefore, after he learned that the cavalry army sent to ambush You Tunwei was wiped out, he immediately assembled a large army to storm Gongyue City, not seeking to break into the city, but only asking You Tunwei to give him a strong force when he arrived. The pressure on them hits their morale and shakes their morale.

What's more, Gongyue City has resisted for two months, it must be at the end of the day, what if my onslaught is actually effective...

The scouts continuously sent back the battle reports ahead.

The Tang army in Gongyue City resisted tenaciously, and the army stormed the city, causing heavy casualties... This was in Ye Qide's expectation. Although there was inevitably a trace of luck in his heart, he also knew that the Tang army was strong in defending the city.

Reinforcements from the Tang Army have already arrived along the Ili River, less than a hundred miles away from Gongyue City... This is a bit surprising, this Tang Army marched too fast, and they crossed the Tianshan Pass in just three days and traveled [-] miles. Difficult road, it is indeed a strong army.

The cavalry of the reinforcements broke away from the brigade and advanced at full speed...

This made Ye Qide puzzled.

He got up and came to the wall, looked at the crude topographic map of the Tianshan Mountains hanging, and gestured with his fingers. After a long time, he said in amazement: "Is this Tang army planning to raid our army's camp?"

A group of generals and school next to him clustered behind him, clamoring after hearing the words.

"How is it possible? With such weather, it is not easy for this army to rush to the rescue of Gongyue City so quickly. It is absolutely impossible for us to attack us by surprise."

"According to the news sent by the Tang people, the strength of this right guard is no more than 5000. Of course, they are all elites, and the cavalry should not exceed 5. Just [-] people want to surprise our [-] Chinese army? Haha, when What a big joke."

"Each of us can drown him with a mouthful of saliva!"

……

Ye Qide also did not believe that the commander-in-chief of the Tang army was so stupid.

"Perhaps it's just a feint attack, just to make our army feel the pressure and have to retreat the siege army in front, so as to reduce the defensive pressure of Gongyue City?"

He had this thought in his mind, and before he had time to think about it on a deeper level, a scout had already brought the latest news.

"The Tang army passed Gongyue City but did not enter, and rushed along the Yili River at full speed!"

……

There was no sound in the tent, and everyone showed incredible expressions.

Is Tang Ren looking for death?
5000 men attacked the 5 Chinese army, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops attacking the city in front, and 8 to [-] troops guarding the rear... [-] people surrounded Gongyue City, facing the Yili River and leaning against the Tianshan Mountains. Rushing in is very likely to be surrounded by groups, and it will be difficult to fly with wings...

Either the commander of this Tang army was ignorant of military affairs and extremely stupid, or his character was perverse and arrogant, and he never put Arab warriors in his eyes at all.

Ye Zide naturally wouldn't think it was the former. In fact, although his father Muawiya invaded the Western Regions before, he encountered Fang Juncai at a critical moment and returned home.Although there was a crisis within the Dashi Kingdom at that time, Muawiya had to return to Damascus, but he still lost that battle in the end.

That's why Ye Qide believed that it was General Youtunwei and Fang Jun, the Duke of Yue, who were so confident that they didn't put Arabs in their eyes at all.

"boom!"

Ye Qide punched hard on the wall, and said angrily: "I hope this guy didn't just bluff his shot, but really intends to attack our army's camp, when the time comes, he will definitely come and never leave!"

Since the start of the war, it seems that the Dashi army has been rushing forward on the surface, and the Anxi army is difficult to resist. In fact, the Dashi army has very limited damage to the Anxi army. The Anxi army is like a cunning loach. Retreating did not give the Dashi army a chance for a decisive battle, and even took advantage of the fact that the Dashi army was not paying attention. It was heartbreaking and annoying.

The proud and arrogant Ye Qide regards this attack on the Western Regions as a god-given opportunity for him to ascend to the throne of the Caliphate. How can he endure being teased by the Tang army over and over again and fail to achieve fruitful results?

No matter how much depression is accumulated in my heart, the anger that erupts at this moment is so strong.

Thinking of him, the successor of the caliphate of the Arabian Empire, who has a high status and is admired by everyone in the entire Arab world, but came to this land of the Western Regions, but was repeatedly played by the enemy and ignored him, how could this be tolerated?

"Pass down the order and gather the troops. Today, this Tang army must come and go!"

"Here!"

All the generals and schools in the tent took orders, then walked out of the big tent, scattered in all directions, rushed back to their respective troops to gather soldiers, and faced the Tang army that was about to raid.

However, the formation of the army and prohibition are not the strengths of the Arab army. The continuous attack on Gongyue City under the severe cold weather has already made the soldiers unequipped, and they have some war-weary mentality. Now they are mobilized again to face the surprise attack. The enemy army of the army naturally complained.

The order did not dare to resist, but the feet may not be so swift, and the subordinate relationship between tens of thousands of people is not so clear, and the people moved for a while, but they were chaotic.

Ye Qide was still sitting in the tent, drinking wine and thinking about how to catch the Tang army who came in surprise, and wipe them all out, when the scouts reported: "The Tang army has arrived thirty miles away!"

For the cavalry, if the charging speed is increased to the extreme, thirty miles can be reached in a blink of an eye.

Ye Qide shouted: "Good!"

He asked again, "Has the troops ever assembled?"

The lieutenant general went out to ask around, and came back sweating profusely: "Commander, to prevent chaos among ministries, the assembly has not yet been completed..."

"what?"

Ye Qide was furious, the enemy was already close at hand, and his side has not yet assembled?If this is being charged by the Tang army's iron cavalry during the chaos...

Ji Lingling shuddered, got up and grabbed the scimitar and strode out, shouting as he walked: "It's all because of wine bags and rice bags? It takes so much time to assemble the army, it's damned!"

Walking out of the tent, the wind and snow blows head-on, and the goal is the messy barracks. The soldiers are running around like headless flies, which is more chaotic than the snowflakes in the sky...

"Commander, the enemy army has arrived ten miles away, and there are many cavalry in the formation, and they have begun to charge at full speed!"

Ye Qide took a breath: "Is there any armored cavalry?"

Although armored cavalry is a great weapon for charging into battle, it has a fatal flaw, that is, lack of mobility.So how did the armored cavalry in the Tang army quickly charge nearly a hundred miles together with the rest of the light cavalry, and can still charge at full speed at this moment?

He has already realized that something is wrong, the enemy army is coming too fast, and there are violent armored cavalry, how can the messy soldiers in front of him stop it?
At this moment, Na still had the extravagant hope of breaking Gongyue City, so he quickly ordered: "Send the order, stop the siege, order the siege troops to move from the rear to the front, and return to the central army immediately!"

"Here!"

When the scouts ran not far away, a cloud of rolling clouds swept over the sky, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes made the ground tremble slightly under their feet, and Ye Zide's face was as white as snow.

How come so fast? !
