Joining the army and being wrapped in horse leather is not a difficult task for every young man who cares about his family and country. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, "protecting the family and the country" has been a feeling that the Han people cannot let go of, even if they sacrifice their lives for it.
Hot-blooded, there are still countless sons and daughters of the Han family who come to succeed him, and they regard death as home.
However, deep down in the heart, besides protecting the family and the country, who can not have some aspirations to build a career and have a wife and children?
Why don't men take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan?
Please come to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, as if you were a scholar with ten thousand households!
Literary men pursue fame, so that they can cultivate their moral character and be honest and serve the public; military generals pursue honors, so that they can fight bravely and not be afraid of death.
If the literati do not take reputation into consideration, they will naturally be corrupt and arrogant and bend the law. If the generals do not pursue meritorious deeds, they will naturally be greedy for life and afraid of death and will retreat before the battle.
No one is a saint. As long as you can restrain the evil thoughts in your heart as much as possible, put your virtues in the world, and put your family and country first, know what you can do and what you can't do, and don't just settle for "scalp" when trouble comes.
Excuses such as "Itchy" and "The water is too cold", greedy for life and fear of death, and forgetting ancestors will naturally make your name famous in history, and you can enjoy the incense of your descendants for a hundred generations.
…
When Fang Jun saw the two of them being so excited, he felt happy and said with a smile: "Get up early tomorrow and send out scouts to contact the Uighurs and investigate the situation around Jiaohe City. Although this battle is in the wild, but this time
After the battle, we must attack Jiaohe City smoothly, find out every thief in the city who is colluding with the enemy, whether he is a descendant of an aristocratic family or a descendant of the royal family, tie him up and display his head to the public outside the city gate, as a warning to others!"
"Here!"
The two of them responded with a bang.
But immediately, Pei Xingjian reminded us: "Xue Sima's letter told us to release more Arabs. The whereabouts of the Arab cavalry are unknown and their whereabouts are uncertain. It is possible that they have sneaked into our surroundings at this moment and are waiting for an opportunity. We have to be on guard."
Speaking of this, Fang Jun also had a headache.
At present, there are people inside the Anxi Protectorate who have connections with foreign countries. Not only are they secretly colluding with the Turks, but they are also likely to tip off the Arabs. With their cover, no matter how many scouts there are in the Youtun Guards, they may not be able to detect the Arab cavalry.
trends.
An elite cavalry force of several thousand men was peeping from the side, like poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Once they got the chance to come out in full force, their lethality would be earth-shattering.
Cheng Wuting said: "The Western Region is vast, and now it's snowing continuously. It's inconvenient for scouts to search. It's almost impossible to find the lurking Arabs. However, it's impossible for the thieves in Jiaohe City to deal with both Turks and Arabs at the same time."
They even think that it is not safe for the Turks to deal with us alone, so they will lead the Arabs to take a retreat when we are facing the enemy, as a double insurance?"
Fang Jun was startled and looked at each other with Pei Xingjian. The latter slapped his thigh and shouted: "It's really dark under the lamp. We are so anxious to find this Arab cavalry, but how could we forget that they can know our whereabouts?"
, traveled thousands of miles from Gongyue City to sneak here with the intention of intercepting and killing them, how could they not have any contact with the traitors in Jiaohe City? They actually sent scouts to search here before, no matter how stupid you are, you should have thought of this!"
Cheng Wuting's face turned dark as he waited for Pei Xingjian and said angrily: "Which one do you think is stupid?"
Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly apologized: "It was a slip of the tongue, please don't mind, Brother Cheng."
Cheng Wuting snorted and ignored him.
He has always been a "tool man". Both his boss and Pao Ze are the kind of people who are almost demonic in intelligence and decisive in killing. He feels that his brain is not as good as these two, so he simply doesn't bother to think about anything.
Whatever orders the two men gave him, he would just follow them.
I finally made a splash today, but I was told that "fools want to get this". I'm really depressed and holding back my anger...
Pei Xingjian just politely apologized casually and didn't take it to heart. A big and rough old man can't be as tender and sensitive as a girl, right?
He turned around and said to Fang Jun: "Maybe we can use the traitors in Jiaohe City to lure the Arabs out!"
It was not easy to deceive the traitors in Jiaohe City before, but now with the cooperation of the Uighurs, it is possible to pass some false news from the Uighurs. It is difficult for those people to distinguish between true and false, and it is easy to make the Arabs' whereabouts unclear.
Show off your horse's feet.
Fang Jun thought for a moment, then shook his head and asked: "Even if this strategy works, how will we face the Turks and Arabs appearing together in front of us?"
Pei Xingjian frowned and said nothing.
In terms of pure military strength, whether it is against the Turks or the Arabs, Youtunwei seems to have a slight advantage. However, these two armies are elites selected from thousands of people to perform tasks, and their combat power must be ridiculously high, and
The opponent is in the dark and is facing a sudden confrontation. The right guard may not be able to hold on. Even if it can hold on, it will definitely suffer heavy losses.
They could only win by chance by the Uighurs rebelling against the Turks and disrupting the Turks' position.
If the Turks and Arabs appear at the same time, even if there are Uighurs to help, the Youtun Guards will undoubtedly be defeated. What's more, when the situation is not right, the Uighurs may not still abide by the covenant and fight back. It is more likely that they will follow the current and simply attack.
Let’s talk about it after the Youtun Guards are destroyed...
So at least it's a good thing that the Arabs don't show up until the Turks are annihilated.
Of course, at the moment when the Right Guards annihilated the Turks, the Arabs must have suddenly launched their attack somewhere, taking advantage of the fact that the Right Guards and the Turks were exhausted from fighting, and dealt a fatal blow...
Such a venomous snake is hidden in the dark and can strike a fatal blow at any time. However, if it is lured out and turns into a swooping beast, it will be a dilemma for Youtun Guards, and they will not be able to advance or retreat.
The three people in the tent frowned and remained silent. Only the north wind whistling outside the tent could clearly hear the flags in front of the tent.
After a long while, Pei Xingjian said: "Time waits for us not. If the stalemate continues, not only will the Youtun Guards be in danger of being destroyed at any time, but the Anxi Army will not receive support for a long time, and it is bound to lose consecutive battles. If the Arabs advance straight in, the entire Western Region will be destroyed."
Fall. At this time, I am afraid that the only way to break the deadlock is to take a risk."
Fang Jun pondered, shook his head and said: "Thousands of Arab cavalry are marching straight in. No matter how they hide their whereabouts, they can't be traced. We still need to increase the intensity of scout inspections. As long as traces of the Arabs are found, we will
It is difficult for them to make a sneak attack, and they can definitely be annihilated in one fell swoop! On the contrary, if no trace of the Arabs is found, we can only stand still!"
Pei Xingjian paused for a moment, and he and Cheng Wuting both nodded.
The Tang army was not afraid of cavalry, especially the Youtun Guards who had firearms. As long as they formed a good formation, making it difficult for the enemy's cavalry to take advantage of its high-mobility charge, thousands of enemy cavalry would not be afraid at all.
I'm afraid that if the enemy catches a glimpse of the right guard and the Turks fighting to the death and takes advantage of the situation to attack the rear formation, then everything will be over.
This shows how vicious the intentions of the thieves in Jiaohe City were. They lured the Turks to attack Youtunwei, but in fact it was just a cover. They did not place their hope on the Turks to annihilate Youtunwei, but secretly contacted the Arabs.
, those thousands of Arabs who sneaked in without a trace are the real trump card.
In other words, as long as the Youtun Guards go to war with the Turks, regardless of victory or defeat, the Arabs will definitely appear at the most critical moment.
This is the enemy's comprehensive plan and there is no chance.
Pei Xingjian realized his recklessness and said with shame: "On top of the military formation, we shouldn't have any luck, but down below we were reckless and almost fell into the enemy's scheme."
Fang Jun said with a smile: "Why do we need to blame ourselves? The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We have fallen into the calculation and lost all the opportunities. We can only use the tricks. But we also have an advantage, that is, we have mastered it now.
Although there is no way to break the enemy's overall calculation, as long as we attack steadily and leave no loopholes, what can the enemy do to us? Not only are we eager to support the Anxi Army, but the Turks entering the hinterland of the Western Region can trigger turmoil in the entire Western Region at any time. Can they not
Urgent? The Arabs are marching straight in. We may detect their whereabouts or even set up an ambush at any time. How can they not be impatient? So the competition at this time is patience. As long as we can endure our temper and be careful not to leak any flaws, I'm afraid
They couldn’t help but jump out first!”
After saying that, he ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, send a brigade of soldiers to Jiaohe City. They will go to the Protector's Mansion with my commander's talisman and order the four gates of Jiaohe City to be sealed. No one is allowed to enter or exit! I will first seize those who are in Jiaohe City.
Cut off all the bastards' ears and eyes so that they don't know the whereabouts of our army. Let's see if they are in a hurry!"
