Facts have proven that occasionally applying strong military tactics can achieve excellent results.
After beheading Bian Lingcheng's adopted son, there was no voice of complaint among the Tianwei army. Although Wu Fuhui was extremely dissatisfied with Li Kuo in his heart, he did not dare to touch the young man's bad luck at this juncture.
Although he was impatient and dissatisfied, Li Kuo had no choice but to wear the hat of the Deputy Military Governor of the Camp on his head, so Wu Fuhui had to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Their thoughts were unified and their actions became consistent. Not long after the Tianwei Army left Helie City, they arrived at Suiye City at noon that day.
Li Kuo did not rush to attack the city, but ordered the entire army to be stationed in a plain five miles away from Suiye City and wait until dawn before launching an offensive against Suiye City.
In order to prevent night attacks by sudden cavalry, Li Kuo specially gave instructions to the soldiers on the process of setting up camp.
According to the order of the deputy envoy of the camp, the soldiers of Tianwei Army found many tree trunks from the dense forest nearby, cut them in two rows, one row was long and the other was short, burned the bottom of the tree trunks and buried two parts.
One of them is buried in the ground, the long tree trunks are arranged in a tight row on the outside, and the short tree trunks are arranged in a row on the inside. Then wooden boards are placed between the two rows of tree trunks, divided into upper and lower layers.
In this way, a temporary wooden wall was built around the Tang Army's barracks, and the part that grew out of the long tree pole became a protective wall. The upper layer of the wooden board could allow sentries to patrol and watch, and the lower layer could store defensive weapons and allow Sergeant Tianwei to rest.
There are also some deer firewood and wooden fences placed outside the military camp, and there are many iron caltrops scattered on the outermost side. In this way, even if the cavalry launches a night attack, the leading cavalry will often stumble!
Li Kuo also ordered that every fifty people or a team should use one tent, and the tents should be opposite each other. Drainage ditches should be dug around the tents and between the camps. The reason for this was actually because the Suiye River generation was in the period.
During the flood season, although they only had to be stationed again for a few days, Li Kuo wanted to be foolproof. In order to prevent the leakage of military aircraft, Li Kuo issued a strict order, strictly prohibiting soldiers from running around between camps, and also not allowed to mess around in tents within the main camp.
run.
He ordered Sergeant Tianwei to leave an open space in each camp far away from water sources and food storage areas specifically for the sergeants to relieve themselves. Anyone who leaves the camp without permission except under special circumstances will be killed without mercy!
Military law was strict, and Li Kuo's Tongwu confidants took the trouble to tell the commander-in-chief's orders to the soldiers of the Tianwei Army over and over again. They were Li Kuo's confidants and knew their general's basics of running an army and camping. Naturally,
There is nothing uncomfortable.
However, this would be a disaster for Sergeant Tianwei who went to Anxi. They were just campers, but had they ever been subject to such strict requirements before? If they had followed Li Kuo's instructions, their bones would still have fallen apart.
?
However, complaints are complaints, but no one dared to really stroke Li Kuo's beard. Li Kuo made it clear in the military order that anyone who disobeyed the order would not be pardoned! The military camp was full of law enforcement teams from the Tongwu Camp, and border orders
Cheng Yizi's head was still hanging on the bamboo pole. They didn't dare to risk losing their heads to argue with Li Kuo!
In desperation, everyone worked hard to set up the camp according to Li Kuo's requirements. By the time all the work was done, it was already nightfall. (Note 1)

...
In the royal palace of Suiye City, the lights are brightly lit.
Tu Qishi, surnamed Huang, removed Moqizhi, the Khan's son, and was walking freely in the palace.
Hearing that a large group of Tang troops from Anxi were invading, the Moqi branch gathered their subordinates and tribesmen in the center of the city and strengthened the defense and patrol of the city gate. Although the Tuqishi people gradually lost a lot of strength in the constant internal strife, Moqi now
There are still more than 20,000 capable subordinates.
With a rich and sufficient family background, Mo Weizhi is naturally confident and has no fear of the Tang Dynasty's "invasion of troops to investigate crimes."
Huh, why can the Tang people come to "raise troops to prosecute"? Why can I only give up Suiye City for the Tang people to occupy?
They are the descendants of the divine wolf. Now that the Tang people have come to their door, they must take Changshengtian as a lesson and make a break with the Tang people!
Years ago, when Gao Xianzhi invaded the Shi Kingdom, his father Khan received a letter asking for help from Teller, the leader of the Stone Kingdom, and personally led his warriors to the river to rescue him. Unexpectedly, the Tang people were cunning and used a trick to trap his father Khan!
The evil-hearted Gao Xianzhi used his father Khan as a bargaining chip to claim credit, escorted him all the way to Chang'an City, and was extremely humiliated in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty! This was fine, but he also petitioned the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to behead his father Khan in front of the palace.
!
After receiving the bad news, Mo Qizhi almost fainted. But he could not fall. He was the hope of the Tuqishi people with the surname Huang and their only trusted companion! As for those Tuqishi people with the black surname, they were seeking refuge with the Tang people.
From that moment on, he was no longer a member of Tuqishi’s tribe!
Mo Qizhi clenched his fists and swung them fiercely into the air.
The divine wolf flattened its sharp claws and became a mediocre and lazy dog; the eagle lost its courage and became a mediocre sparrow!
He Mo Weizhi could not just watch Suiye City being taken over by such a group of lackeys of the Tang Dynasty! So he secretly discussed with Yi Gan's confidants, and launched a coup shortly after the Tang Dynasty left, killing the black Tuqi Shi Khan and Yi Gan
The royal family regained Suiye City from the Tang Dynasty!
He Mo Weizhi now has a sworn hatred against the Tang people for killing his father. If he does not defeat the Tang army, he will no longer be able to occupy the position of Tuqishi Khan!
Regardless of whether it is public or private, he has no reason to retreat. He wants to fight, and he wants to use a great victory to wash away the humiliation of the Tuqishi people for more than a hundred years!
"Huh!" Mo Weizhi let out a long breath, looked at the blood-red flames jumping on the candlestick, and grinned slightly: "Sancheonur, please come in."
"Tucker!" The man called Sancheonur was a strong man wearing a leopard skin. After hearing the instructions from Mochizhi, he walked to the prince's side with easy steps.
"Tucker, if you want me to rush out of the city and fight against the Tang bandits! Old Khan was just killed by the Tang bandits, and now that they have attacked Suiye City, they are actually using the banner of launching an army to punish the guilty. It is really deceiving!
"
Sancheonur gritted his teeth and complained bitterly. In his opinion, the people of the Tang Dynasty were just a group of sanctimonious poisonous snakes who disguised themselves as benevolent and virtuous!
"My Nao'er, you think too simply." Mo Qizhi shook his head and said, "Do you really think that the people of Tang Dynasty came to Suiye to raise an army to question their crimes?" He pointed to the west and said, "Their real goal.
It's to the west, and a big battle is imminent. They want to leave a stronghold for the Anxi Army, which is deep in the river, to retreat safely!"
Sancheonur smiled coldly and said: "Of course they want me to go out of the city for a decisive battle now, but I won't give him this chance! Go and send this letter to General Seyyed Ben Houmed in Talas City, and just say one
The Anxi Army has arrived at Suiye. He will understand when he sees my letter."
"But Tucker, are we just going to endure it? Nao'er wants to fight Tang Kou to the death, and Nao'er wants to avenge the old Khan!"
Sancheonur clenched his fists and argued to himself.
"Nao'er! You should leave the city immediately overnight and hand this letter to General Said bin Houmed. The safety of Suiye City depends on this letter!"
"Tucker!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Mo Qizhi pushed Sancheinur out of the palace door fiercely, roaring angrily.
"Hey, Tucker, take care, Nao'er will rush back to Suiye after delivering the letter!"
Sancheonur shook his head helplessly, and hid in the vast night with a long sigh.

ps: The broken leaf battlefield is equally important as Talas. Whether Xiaoqi can successfully obtain the broken leaves is related to the outcome of the Talos battle, so stay tuned!
