The Arabs came with great force, and their troops were well-equipped. Their strength was almost ten times that of the Anxi Army. They had been planning for a long time and were well prepared. The Anxi Army responded in a hurry, with no backup, and could only rely on flexible tactics to support the left and right.
, step by step, but in fact, apart from the battle of Broken Leaf City, there are few huge results.
In such a battle, the enemy has invested so many troops. If there are not a few great victories in which tens of thousands of people are killed, how can we win the final victory?
However, relying on the current strength of the Anxi Army, it is really difficult to achieve this.
After all, the enemy's strength advantage is too great. Even if the Anxi Army can set up a trap and set up an ambush in a certain place, the enemy can save it in time after stepping into the trap, relying on its strong strength advantage to offset the mistakes in tactics and strategies, and try its best to
to avoid losses.
And if the Anxi Army makes one careless move, it will be doomed...
This battle will be difficult to fight.
Fortunately, Fang Jun annihilated the Turks and Arab elites in a fierce battle in Alagou, eliminating all hidden dangers on the front line thousands of miles east from Gongyue City. From then on, he could not worry about the changes behind him and focus on fighting the enemies in front of him, and Fang Jun was influenced by himself.
In response to the letter asking for help, the Youtun Guards had also been marching day and night.
This gave Xue Rengui some confidence.
After all, he has participated in the entire process since the reform of Youtunwei, and has single-handedly brought this army, which was almost entirely formed by the "recruitment system", to a new level. It can be regarded as a true firearms-based army at the moment.
, the two battles at Alagou have already confirmed the correctness of Fang Jun's idea of building an army, and also confirmed the unparalleled combat effectiveness of Youtunwei.
…
The rumble of war drums interrupted Xue Rengui's meditation.
"Sima!"
Yuanwei, who had become the captain of the school, strode in from outside the door and said quickly: "The Arabs are attacking again!"
"Um?"
Xue Rengui was a little surprised. He looked up at the sky outside and asked, "What time is it now?"
Yuan Wei said: "It's almost the time of application."
Xue Rengui turned his attention to the map on the wall: "How many people will the enemy launch? In which direction will the main attack be?"
Yuan Wei replied: "The enemy army dispatched about 20,000 troops, followed by 30,000 troops, and launched an attack on Nancheng and Dongcheng in front of a stick of incense. From the looks of the formation, Nancheng should be the main force.
."
Xue Rengui frowned, stared at the map carefully for a long time, thought for a while, and asked: "Is there any news about the Youtun Guards?"
Since Youtunwei left Baishui Town and headed west, the scouts from both sides have been sending messages every two or three hours. The contact is very close. The war in Gongyue City can be sent to Youtunwei in time, so that Fang Jun can be ready at any time.
give an order.
Although Fang Jun was not the Great Protector of Anxi, but after Li Xiaogong left Gongyue City and Fang Jun led the Youtun Guards to rush for reinforcements, he had naturally taken over the highest command of the war in the Western Regions. This was true for both Li Xiaogong and the Anxi army.
Already defaulted.
After all, factors such as identity, qualifications, status, power, military exploits, etc. all come together. Except for Li Xiaogong, no one in the entire Western Region can check and balance Fang Jun.
However, Li Xiaogong had great trust in Fang Jun and was willing to give up the command...
Yuan Wei said: "An hour ago, the Youtun Guards scouts arrived and sent news that the Youtun Guards had rushed along the south side of the Yili River and the gentle area between the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains for reinforcements. They would probably arrive in Gongyue around noon tomorrow.
city."
Xue Rengui nodded.
Although this Yuan Wei is a descendant of Guan Long, and he has some unclear and entangled problems. He can use it but has to guard against it, but his ability is indeed outstanding. Not only does he complete the villain's task very well, but he also performs various tasks in the army. Things are also well organized and can be reused.
Xue Rengui did not worry too much and ordered: "Order all the ministries to hold on to the city and not go out to engage in battle. The enemy probably got the news that the cavalry sent to Baishui Town to ambush the Youtun Guards was completely wiped out, so they fought hard and tried to attack the Youtun Guards on the Right." Some achievements were made before the garrison sent reinforcements."
Yuan Wei was startled: "How could they get the news so quickly?"
In the Battle of Alagou, the Arab cavalry that had been sneaking for hundreds of miles were completely wiped out by the Youtun Guards. The whole army was wiped out and no one escaped. Now, Gongyue City has just received the report of the battle in Alagou. How can the Arab cavalry who have been completely wiped out spread the news? Passed back to Ye Zide?
If that is the case, there is only one answer...
Seeing that Xue Rengui was silent, Yuanwei swallowed hard and explained: "Since the last general learned about the victory of Alagou, he has never set foot in the military camp. He definitely did not leak it to the outside world..."
Xue Rengui waved his hand and said: "How can I doubt you? This matter was originally planned by the Guanlong clan. In the end, it fell short and was defeated. The person responsible for contacting the Arabs will naturally pass the news to Ye Zid. It’s not surprising.”
He looked calm and seemed to take it for granted, but in fact he was very angry in his heart.
Not long after I received the news of the great victory in Alagou, the Arabs got the news. From this, I can see that the Guanlong clan in every corner of the Western Region is already in ruins. Even though the battle in Alagou destroyed the entire Guanlong clan. They had to face the wrath of Fang Jun and even the imperial court, but these people still ignored it and never severed their ties with the Arabs.
"The thoughts of family and country" are in vain in the eyes of these people, not even as real as a piece of silver cake or three taels of gold.
With such self-interested forces dominating the court, you can imagine what kind of policies will be implemented. If Guan Long is allowed to control the central power, it may not take long for all parts of the world to form their own system, with military and political power completely in their hands. Then he fought against the central government.
The end result of warlords everywhere is that their branches are weak but their branches are strong, their imperial power is in decline, the world is about to be shaken, and wars are about to rise...
"Let's go and have a look at the city."
Although he believed that the Arabs were just trying to take a chance before the Youtun Guards rushed to help, Xue Rengui did not dare to be careless. After all, the strength of the enemy and ours was very different. It was only possible to rely solely on the walls of Gongyue City to think that they were as stable as Mount Tai. The way to death.
When you are in battle, you should never have the concept of "inevitability" at any time, because the battlefield is changing rapidly and there are too many variables. If you are not careful, a small mistake may lead to the failure of a war...
Under the service of his own soldiers, Xue Rengui put on his armor and put his armor on his head. His armor was shining brightly, and he looked majestic. The armor leaves clanked as he walked, filled with murderous intent.
After leading Yuan Wei and a group of soldiers out of the government office, their ears were filled with earth-shattering shouts of killing.
The radius of Gongyue City is only a few miles, and tens of thousands of people launched a fierce attack under the city wall. Even if you are in the city, you can feel the terrifying momentum.
The snow was falling one after another, accumulating a thick layer on the ground, and the boots creaked when I stepped on them. The north wind swept the snowflakes and hit me head-on, and the cold was biting to the bone.
The defenders in the city trotted to transport ordnance to the top of the city, and then transported the wounded down from the top of the city to a temporary hospital for treatment by the army doctor. Since Fang Jun's first expedition to the Western Regions, he has improved the treatment methods in the army.
That set of new laws was implemented in all armies and continuously improved. Now the number of battle losses in the Tang army due to untimely post-war treatment is getting lower and lower, allowing the army to maintain its position in the difficult combat environment.
With extremely high combat effectiveness.
Listening to the thunderous roar that rang in his ears from time to time, Xue Rengui, who was rushing towards the city wall, couldn't help but sigh: It seems that Fang Jun's influence has already penetrated into every aspect of the Tang army. Especially in a few years,
When the first batch of officers from Zhenguan Academy's "Martial Arts Hall" graduates and the army is filled with mid-level officers who have been taught by Zhenguan Academy, Fang Jun's influence will reach a higher level...
If we add colored glaze, gunpowder, firearms, navy...perhaps the entire Tang Dynasty was affected by Fang Jun's influence and underwent various changes at the same time.
In terms of influence alone, Fang Jun can be called "the best person in the world"...
As we approached the city wall, the shouts of death became even more deafening.
After setting foot on the city wall, Xue Rengui took a shield from a soldier, went to the arrow stack in person and poked his head out to investigate the situation below the city. He saw countless Arab soldiers pouring in like a tide under the gray dusk.
.
Looking down at the surging Arab army through the snowflakes flying in the sky, it actually makes people feel dizzy...
Not far away, three Arab phalanxes were waiting, with round shields forming a solid wall. The square formations were filled with murderous intent, and the sharp spears were pointed at the sky slantingly, showing a fierce fighting spirit.
.
"Sima!"
A soldier ran up from the city, squatted behind Xue Rengui, and said loudly: "The Duke of Yue has ordered us to arrive!"
