Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 115 General Suzaku orders reinforcements!

at the same time.

The battle took place a few miles away in the Yixiantian Canyon.

This is a desert.

Looking down from a high altitude, the color at this moment is not white like the desert, but... black!

Endless black!
That is...that is a person.

More precisely, it is an army composed of individual soldiers.

They all came from Dayan and took orders from General Suzaku. The total number of troops reached a terrifying 200,000.

And they,
It was also during this time that the army, led by General Suzaku, set out from the land to the west and conquered the Tang Dynasty through the Western Regions.

Their goal, and the task assigned by Li Chengdao, was for General Suzaku and the Tianquan Camp to cooperate, attack from the direction of the Western Regions, rule the entire Western Regions, and then attack the Tang Dynasty.

I thought this would be an easy battle to advance. After all, the Western Regions had little combat capability, and it had been peaceful for too long. How could they contend with the wolf-like and tiger-like Great Yan army that had dominated the West for many years?
But no one expected that such a variable as Li Shimin would appear.

now.

General Suzaku was still leading his troops westward. Now he already knew that Li Shimin was coming, so from the moment he learned about it, the entire army became more cautious than usual.

Marching speed,

It was at least twice as slow as usual because he was afraid of Li Shimin.

And Li Shimin is also worthy of everyone's fear. After all... Li Shimin, the General of Tiance, is really too strong.

Today, the army is still on the march.

At this moment, a scout came hurriedly.

"General, urgent news! It comes from General Tianquan!"

The scout looked anxious.

Seeing this, General Suzaku realized that something was wrong and said quickly, "Read it!"

"Yes!"

The scout received the order.

He quickly opened the letter and read it: "My troops have been trapped in the Western Regions. This is caused by Li Shimin and the troops from the Western Regions. My troops need urgent assistance!"

After finishing reading it, General Suzaku's eyes suddenly widened.

Surrounded?
And it was Li Shimin!!

really,

That man came to help the Western Regions!
Zhuque General took a deep breath and said loudly: "Quickly arrange the first team to rush to support Tianquan Camp! The second team will fall behind the first team by a mile to prevent Li Shimin's counterattack. The third team should do the same!"

In fact, General Suzaku had made full arrangements in advance for Li Shimin's appearance and participation in the war.

After learning that Li Shimin was participating in this war, he began to make arrangements, such as the division of the first, second and third teams. In fact, there was no such arrangement in the original army.

but….
With the arrival of Li Shimin, he immediately began to divide these teams to prevent being suddenly attacked by Li Shimin in the future and being unable to make effective judgments quickly.

now.

General Suzaku had not expected that these teams were divided not to defend against his own army, but to first aid the legendary army, the Tianquan Camp.

Think about it carefully,

General Tiance is truly terrifying. The Tianquan Camp is like a beast in an empty land during the war in the west.

When we arrived in the Tang Dynasty,

Do not,
Even before arriving in the Tang Dynasty, he was already subject to layers of restrictions by Li Shimin.

This is still the Western Region!
The only troops Li Shimin could use were the Western Regions troops whose combat effectiveness was not very strong, not the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.

If the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty were used, this battle... would be even more difficult to fight.

This is something to be thankful for for the time being, as Li Shimin only has soldiers from the Western Regions under his command.

The soldiers of the Western Regions, whether in terms of eliteness or coordination with Li Shimin, were definitely not as strong as the Tang army. This was also... their confidence in winning!
soon.

Under the arrangement of General Suzaku, the entire army began to be divided, and one army after another went to various places, obeying the arrangements of General Suzaku and rushing to support General Tianquan.

……

at the same time.

A line of sky canyon,

The scouts ahead brought back news that a large army was approaching.

The lord of Kucha City was stunned when he learned that an army of a thousand people was approaching at a high speed.

A thousand people?

Where did the thousand people come from?

Could it be that it is not just the Tianquan Camp that is invading the Western Regions from Dayan, but there are actually more armies behind it?

And this moment.

Cheng Chumo was also confused.

Since the Western Regions had been peaceful for too long, there was not much security force in the area several miles outside the border of the Western Regions. This led to... Li Shimin did not learn about the existence of the Suzaku General through the Western Regions.

If this happened in the Tang Dynasty, it would be impossible because there would be guard troops several miles away in the Tang Dynasty.

When General Suzaku was on his way two days ago, the Tang Dynasty's alert troops would come and inform the border guards of the Tang Dynasty that General Suzaku was leading his troops to invade the Tang Dynasty border, so that they could make strategic arrangements.

but….
Not in the Western Regions!

Even when General Suzaku had led his troops to the border of the Western Regions, no one came to report until they were within a certain distance.

The gap between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions' guard forces was too huge. This is why the Tang Dynasty became the master of all nations.

If the Western Regions also had such power, then the Tang Dynasty would not be the only dominant power.

And at this moment,
Since Cheng Chumo was not informed either, Li Shimin did not know the existence of General Suzaku, so he could not distribute the war arrangements in the first place.

Even if the report was sent back this time, Li Shimin was now in Qiuci City, and it would take some distance to report back. Even if the letter was sent by carrier pigeon, it would take one or two hours to go back and forth.

At that time,
I'm afraid that General Suzaku has already led his troops into the Western Regions army, and the war arrangements he brought back are not first-hand arrangements.

What should I do?

Cheng Chumo was not a famous war general, nor was he even a general of the Tang Dynasty. He was just the head of the guards around Li Shimin.

The reason why he was able to show off his power to the lord of Kucha City was because of Li Shimin’s arrangement. That was his confidence.

Li Shimin had already arranged everything, and he just needed to pass on the message, but now... he couldn't do that.

But the Lord of Kucha City didn't know this.

Now that the enemy reinforcements were close at hand, he subconsciously looked at Cheng Chumo and asked, "General Cheng, what should our army do?"

In the battle against the Tianquan Camp just now, since Li Shimin had made arrangements beforehand, even in a short period of time, the battlefields of all parties went extremely smoothly.

Even, two Tianquan teams have been destroyed.

This greatly increased his confidence in wiping out the Tianquan Camp of Dayan.

At the same time, I also fully understand that
In this war, as long as he obeys Li Shimin's arrangements, the Western Regions... can definitely annihilate the enemy at a minimal cost.

"I, I don't know."

Cheng Chumo let out a breath and spoke bluntly.

He really didn't know what to do in this situation.

The Lord of Qiuci City was stunned: "Could it be that if the Heavenly Khan has no arrangements, how can our army deal with the reinforcements?"

"Without the arrangements of the Heavenly Khan, how can our army defeat the enemy?"
