Li Kuo expected it well, and continued to move forward from the camp left by the Anxi Army, and the road became increasingly dangerous.
Such a narrow road will definitely not accommodate dozens of riders in parallel, so if a large army travels, it will inevitably affect the itinerary. Even the 1,000 elite soldiers led by Li Kuo were also restricted by the muddy trails and had to slow down slightly.
"Brother Kuoer, in my opinion, Gao Shuai and the others should be not far from here. Along the way, the brothers found a lot of rice and millet in the mud!"
Zhang Yanji urged the horse to approach Li Kuo, pointed to a Tuweizi not far away and said, "Look, that Tuweizi is probably the place where the pot is buried to cook, and there is still a lot of remaining millet next to the Artemisia grass!
”
Zhang Yanji kept waving the horse whip as if he had discovered a major enemy situation, and kept waving his horse whip. Since Li Kuo was accompanied last night, Zhang Xiaolangjun has been in a state of extreme excitement. In his words, this is Brother Kuoer
Trust him, he then ordered him from the many Tongwu generals to go to Talas to meet Gao Shuai. Otherwise, there were so many direct descendants of Tongwu, why was only him and Fatty Zhou in the end to be able to join the couple with Kuo Ge'er?
Hehe, he is the best friend who broke into Chang'an City. This relationship is different from ordinary direct lineages! Not to mention the public, just to talk about personal affairs, who can compare with him in this army?
Well, that, that fat man in death doesn’t count, it doesn’t count.
Li Kuo was a little suspicious and frowned and said, "Why do I think it doesn't look like the place where the Anxi Army is stationed? Gao Shuai and his team should be heading to Talas on the front line of the Julan Mountain City. If according to Liu Yi's statement,
Shen Haizi is the main garrison of the Anxi Army. No matter from any angle, Gao Shuai and the others will not march from this line."
After thinking for a moment, Li Kuo said again: "Besides, Gao Shuai and others have already buried most of the food in the previous camp, so they will definitely cherish the surplus food. If anyone had been so rude to slap the military rations, they would not have been dragged out of the gate by Gao Shuai.
Break your legs?"
After he said this, Zhang Yanji also felt that the little bits of rice grains next to the earthen enclosure were particularly eye-catching.
"Haha, if it weren't for Anxi Army, here..."
Halfway through Zhang Yanji's words, he subconsciously shrank his neck: "No, no, the food reinforcements just passed by here."
"According to the map, the possibility is not high." Li Kuo also felt it was particularly strange. According to common sense, if Abu Muslims rushed to Talas to help the city of Talas, they should have come from Samarkand, that is, from the southwest of Talas.
I will never detour to the ancient Pearl River channel.
But if it is another Hu tribe, it doesn't make sense.
Some tribes with slightly stronger combat power have already shown up or surrendered to the Tang Dynasty or seek protection under the cannibal tent, so they should definitely follow the army of both sides now. As for those tribes who do not want to cause trouble, they will not be here.
In the troublesome autumn, he led his warriors around Talas.
Unless, unless...
Unless Abu Muslim had long expected that Gao Shuai would send someone to Shuye to send rescue soldiers, he specially set up checkpoints on important roads near Talas to intercept them. Of course, the reason why he was not on the front line of Julan City would not be
Gambling, it is very likely that Julan City has fallen back into the hands of the great cannibals!
Damn it!
"Yanji, send more than a dozen riders to the front to see. If there is any enemy situation, it will be rewarded quickly!" Li Kuo took a deep breath and looked at a green peak in the distance and thought silently. If he was an Abu Muslim, he would definitely set up the checkpoint on
There is a must-pass place to go to Talas, and there is no way to avoid it!
"Okay!" Zhang Yanji seemed to realize the urgency of the matter, and turned his horse to pass on his death.
Taking the brief time of scout investigation, Li Kuo took the picture from his personal soldiers and analyzed it carefully. According to the current form, Gao Shuai must have been stationed on the south side of Talas City. Abu Muslims are under control.
After the northern and western regions of Talas City, they will definitely advance eastward to seek a decisive battle with Gao Shuai. With Gao Shuai's strong character, he will definitely not retreat easily, so the place where the two sides fight will definitely be a basin where the east and west handover will be
.
Li Kuo took a charcoal pen and clicked a spot between Talas and Baishui City, thinking about the possible situation. If he were the Gaoshuo, he would definitely line up the Anxi Army's array as much as possible, so that he could fight against the big food.
Human cavalry. However, the military strength advantage of the great cannibal is too obvious. If you resist hard, it will be difficult to gain any advantage. If you want to cause more trouble for Abu Muslims, you need a surprise soldier.
Li Kuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he circled a circle with a charcoal pen at Baishuicheng.
Not bad, it's here! If Gao Shuai can instigate the Lord of Baishui...
"Governor, Governor!" Li Kuo was meditating himself, but a quick voice pulled it back to reality.
"Governor, the road ahead is blocked! The big cannibal... The big cannibal set up a military camp at the mountain pass in front!" A scout fell off his horse and knelt in front of Li Kuo and confessed repeatedly.
.
"Yes." Li Kuo nodded and replied in a low voice. As expected, Abu Muslim was indeed not at ease with this pass and sent an army to serve as a pass. If he only had one thousand people now, he could directly pass the pass.
The food and grass needed by the army are still behind us. If we do not completely control this mountain pass, even if one of his thousand people safely rushes through the checkpoint, it will not have any effect.
What we need to do now is to seize this pass as soon as possible and open up the connection between Tianwei Army and Anxi Army!
"How many people are there in the enemy and what weapons are there?"
"This... the brothers are far away and can't see clearly, but from the perspective of the camp, they are about five or six hundred people. As for weapons and equipment, they should not be the direct descendants of Abu Muslims, and their equipment is comparable to those of them.
We are on our Tianwei Army, but we are much better than the ordinary Hu* team!”
The scout scratched his head and poured out what he knew.
"Yes." Li Kuo silently passed the scout's report in his heart and decided to rush into the camp. The number of opponents was only five or six hundred. If the Tianwei Hou Army followed and attacked them together, they would hardly encounter them.
What is effective resistance.
But if that were the case, he would lose all the meaning of his pursuit trip overnight, and Abu Muslim set up a military camp checkpoint to achieve his goal! From beginning to end, he did not want to completely lock this road. In fact, during the decisive battle, even if it was
He, Abu Muslim, is not absolutely sure to defeat Gao Shuai! He dare not distribute most of his troops at this checkpoint to intercept him, he dare not!
So his purpose was to delay time until he defeated the main force of the Anxi Army!
Damn it!
No need for too long. As long as he can delay himself for five or six days, the Anxi army will completely lose food, and then the morale of the army will be disintegrated...
Li Kuo sighed and asked the scout again: "Can the armor of the big cannibal is sophisticated?"
"If you go back to the governor," the scout bowed and said, "Their armor and clothing are not very uniform. They have chain mail and leather armor. Even some soldiers are not wearing armor at all!"
He looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun was setting, Li Kuo ordered loudly: "Send the order and let the brothers rest for a little while until the evening night, and follow me to attack the camp!"
......
......
A lonely moon hangs heavily in the painted night sky.
Rows of orange and yellow flames were jumping in the military camp at the Sanjaer Pass.
They were the big food soldiers patrolling the post. They were teams of fifty people and changed posts every four hours. Since they set up camp at this mountain pass five days ago under the leadership of General Hu Jiahelian, they have always maintained their position.
With such a frequency of patrols, no matter whether there are any Tang people's wanderings around, or whatever the situation of the battle in front of Talas, they all performed the duties of a soldier from beginning to end.
And in a slightly larger felt bag in the middle of the military camp, there were roars from time to time. The guards had long been used to the low curses of their own adults, so they were often silent.
Hu Jiahelian threw out a roasted wild roe deer in disgust and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
Pooh!
Isn’t it because he reminded General Abu Muslim to pay more attention to the movements of the Lord Baishui City. He was bitten by the bitch Jie Lie and made people frame him, saying that he cherished his life and was unwilling to be loyal!
General Abu Muslim actually believed the slander and demoted him to this place where birds do not shit to guard the village! This place is remote and even hunters are too lazy to set up bait. How could there be a Tang army appear?
On the fifteenth day, on the fifteenth day, if you really stay in this place for fifteen days, you will have to kill him crazy!
Humph, it’s all excuses. Why cherish life and hide strength? It’s not because I’m not a big cannibal, or because I’m not his direct lineage!
"Come here, come here!" Hu Jiahelian felt depressed when he thought of this, and beat the table in anger and roared loudly.
"Mr. Hu Jiahelian, what are your instructions?" The person who walked into the tent was a short and thin cannibal. He looked like he was about fifty years old.
His eyes narrowed slightly and looked at Hu Jiahelian, his voice was as low and hoarse as a broken snare drum.
"Mr. Abdullah, why are you here?"
Hu Jiahelian immediately dissipated when he saw the sadness on Abdullah's face, and squeezed out a smile and greeted him: "Come and sit down quickly, the spreader of Allah's voice in the world, I have an important matter to discuss with you."
