Chapter 278 Harassment

What is more beneficial to him is that because of the surprise attack, the other preceptors of the Tang army did not act against the Great Food Kingdom. Even if the preceptors of Li Siye's troops had tasks, it would not be too obvious.

Most of the things he did was his own team. He would definitely think that he had not discovered his existence. He just took advantage of a certain opportunity to do this. He did not plan the entire battle, so as to underestimate his intelligence, and would use this to set up a trap unscrupulously to deal with himself and the Tang army, and turn the tables in one fell swoop!

What would you do if you were from the other person’s perspective?

Well, it must be a feint attack on Talas City. While the Tang army and his attention were on Talas City, they raided the main force of the Tang army. Hehe, it seems that I should arrange a trap-versus-trap encounter battle, and strive to defeat the main force of the Great Food Kingdom in one fell swoop!

"If this is true, the battlefield would not be under the city of Talas!" Zhang Fan also understood a little, "They would not allow the army of the Great Food Kingdom to die."

"How can you be sure that it must be the ones who keep the preceptors of the other camp?" Green Wing was a little puzzled, "I think it's natural? It's just that we are fighting, so we have more opportunities to fight with the other camp, so we will see them. Everyone in their own camp is busy with their respective tasks, so how can we meet?"

Zhang Fan smiled, "We are not sure, we are just guessing. But we must be prepared if we do not play according to common sense. If the subsequent Great Food Army does not play according to common sense, then this will be confirmed. For example, if Talas City is not coming, or the main force of the Tang army is besieged, this can completely indicate that the other party does have high intelligence and precepts."

"Yes, we just won the first game. The main force of the Great Food Kingdom did not move, and there was a good show later." Akan raised his glass and touched Zhang Fan, indicating that the two of them had similar views.

"Oh, you guys have your ideas. I'm going to ask the captain of the cavalry to ask the methods of leading the troops. I'll learn horse war and formation in the afternoon. I don't have time to talk to you about these things that I can't see." Green Wing sipped the wine in the clay cup, turned around and left.

Zhang Fan Aken looked at her leaving back, looked at each other and smiled, then touched the cup, "She is looking for the direction and will be a very good pioneer general in the future."

"Since that's the case, what are you going to do?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I'm thinking about what the other party will do." Akan smiled.

"How to do it, just give us a condom." Zhang Fan said: "No, it's a condom for the Tang army. Mao Zu's common move to deal with the Kuomintang, and he will surround and fight for help!"

"What if the Tang army arrived first? In history, the Tang army surrounded Talas City first." Akan asked.

"First lure the enemy into the depths, then seize the city of Talas from behind." Zhang Fan said without hesitation.

Aken looked at him in surprise, with a different meaning, "It's great, I'm doing my homework well. I'll be familiar with the military tactics."

"I have competed with Li Siye in the past two days. I have achieved some military tactics in cooperation with what I saw in the book." Zhang Fan nodded.

Aken smiled and said, "What else do you want to ask? We will go to the nearby radius of fifty miles in the past two days to see if there is any place suitable for ambushing the large army, and see who seduces whom."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then cried again.

…………

These two days have made Willis exhausted. The two masters really treat themselves as coolies who don’t have money! This is not the small place in Japan, the vast Western Region Plateau, which is dozens of miles in a radius. For the plateau that spans thousands of miles, it is like walking around at home.

Zhang Fan Aken's current status in the army is not low and he has relative freedom. It is natural to participate in the military to investigate the situation around the battlefield. However, he did not even bring the guards, which made the Tang generals feel a little worried about them. It is not peaceful here now.

However, the hard work was not in vain. A few places suitable for ambush were found around Talas City. Some were narrow valleys that could lure the enemy into, and archers were ambushed on the high ground on both sides and shot down.

There are low-lying places that can lure the enemy down and attack from all sides.

With a gourd waist, the enemy has half of it, and attacks head-on, so that the enemy cannot retreat and the ones behind cannot come up.

There are also rivers beside the shallows, and there are trees not far away to ambush and wait for the enemy to attack halfway.

After the two found out, Zhang Fan returned to Talas City, while Akan followed the cavalry troops who were looking for the enemy. This matter had to be discussed with Duan Xiushi and looked at his opinion.

The next day, a gray pigeon flew out from Duan Xiushi's military camp and headed east. Several cavalry flew out...

The city defense was strengthened in Talas City, Duan Xiushi left 2,500 cavalry to assist in the city, and led his other half to take the initiative. This allowed two teams of people to attack in turn, allowing the horse personnel to get the best rest, and strengthen the guardian power of Talas City.

Not long after, Duan Xiushi's cavalry unit fought with the vanguard of the Dashi Kingdom's offensive forces. Duan Xiushi relied on the power of the cavalry to win a small victory and quickly retreated to the vicinity of Talas City.

That night, Duan Xiushi entered the city, met Li Siye, and even called a few to join the military. It turned out that Gao Xianzhi's large army had arrived near Talas City. The letter praised everyone very much and agreed to Duan Xiushi's plan to ambush the army of the Great Food Kingdom, and prepared to set up an ambush at a location so that Duan Xiushi's troops could try to attract the main force of the enemy.

On the second day, Duan Xiushi brought 2,000 cavalry soldiers to pick up the enemy and left the main force of the 3,000 cavalry of the Tang army in Talas City.

"According to historical records, Gao Xianzhi sieges the city of Talas for five days but failed. Reinforcements from the Great Shishi Kingdom arrived and fought fiercely under the city of Talas..." Akan recalled the historical information in his heart, silently calculated the current progress of the Tang army and the Great Shishi Kingdom, and made some corrections.

From the current perspective, the Great Food Kingdom seems to have appeared a few days earlier than historical records. There may be a deviation from historical records, and there is also a reason for the intervention of the preceptors. Because the data is insufficient, it is difficult to judge.

Gao Xianzhi's troops acted very quickly. The general deserved to be the "King of Mountains". After receiving the strategy proposed by Duan Xiushi, he immediately launched an action. The marching speed accelerated, and a day in advance was recorded by historical records. He secretly bypassed Talas City and arranged an ambush on the route of the Great Qi Kingdom's army attacking Talas City.

At this time, Akan discovered some clues about the precepts of the Tang army. Among the scouts who went forward to explore the way, they found two precepts. It seems that when the Tang army officially entered the battlefield, the scene mission began to appear.

The two scouts who were exploring the way were well completed and had a relatively accurate grasp of the enemy's intelligence in the report. As a military officer, Akan naturally saw it all, but he did not contact the two keepers.

He also needs to look at the arrangement of subsequent tasks in the scene, collect more methods and data for publishing scene tasks, and it will help him master the number, distribution, task arrangement and other clues of the number, distribution, task arrangement and other clues of the preceptors in the entire scene, as well as the impact of the senior preceptors on the tasks of the lower preceptors when they are at a higher status. This plays an important role in analyzing the status, influence and ability of the preceptors.

The Great Food Kingdom came to 10,000 troops, led by Aibuda, the governor of Khorasan, Aibuda, and the Muslim general of the Great Food Kingdom. It was the headquarters of the Great Food Kingdom, with well-equipped troops. There were 5,000 cavalry, of which 2,000 were heavy cavalry!

This is the main force!

There is even more information that behind this army, there are various anti-Tang and Hu troops in the Western Regions who are gathering one after another! The number is no less than 50,000! led by another general of Abu Muslim Governor Qiyad, the vanguard is also rushing towards Talas City! Among them, more than 12,000 are the army of the headquarters of the Great Food Kingdom, which is the main force!

It seems like a bad battle!

Just like the troops on the surface, the strength of the two armies is similar. The main force of the Tang Army headquarters is 20,000, the main force of the Dashiguo headquarters, and the remaining troops of Said who retreated from Talas City are also more than 24,000.

The Tang army hired more than 20,000 troops to defeat Han'an, and 20,000 troops to the Geluo tribe. The Dashi Kingdom then assembled no less than 50,000 troops to the Hu army. Among them, Shi Kingdom, as the leader of the initiative, was estimated to have nearly 30,000 troops. And it is still increasing.

However, according to historical records, Aibu Muslims have 10,000 troops building defenses and preparing for a long-term battle with the Tang army in Samarkand, a famous Arab city not far from Talas.

Now that Talas City has been seized by the Tang army, it can attack and retreat and defend, and the situation is relatively favorable. Moreover, the main equipment of the Tang army is much sharper than that of the Dashiguo army of the same era.

Although the Dashi Kingdom had higher smelting technology, the Damascus sword made by their iron was slightly stronger than the horizontal sword made by the Tang army's steel filling method. However, the Tang army's armor-making technology represented by Mingguang armor was far ahead of them, with lighter weight and stronger defense!

The crossbow and arrow technology is unique in the world! Although Arabs are a nomadic army and are good at riding and shooting, their types of bows and crossbows are not as complete as those of the Tang army, and their range is even worse!

But Arab war horses are better than those of the Tang army, so the light cavalry riding Arab war horses and wielding Damascus swords are the best armies of the Arab army. They are fast and have strong attack power. However, they are restrained by the Tang army's Modao warriors. This has been practiced when Zhang Fan guarded the city gate in Talas City. Complete restraint!

Therefore, the crossbows and armor of the Tang army, both weapons and armor that represent advanced combat effectiveness, are better than those of the Dashiguo army, and their combat effectiveness is naturally stronger than them.

However, Duan Xiushi and Akan's two thousand cavalry had no advantage. Apart from the faster horses, there was nothing to be desired, and it was just a cannon fodder army.

Now this cannon fodder unit is launching an attack on the 10,000 elite troops of the Great Food Kingdom!

"Boss, this cavalry unit has caused great trouble to our advance troops this time. It seems to harass us tirelessly day and night!" the gloomy man whispered.

"They have Talas City as their foundation now. The two cavalry troops take turns to rest and we will naturally not be tired from harassing us." The woman in white sneered. "But they won't be too arrogant for long. Go a little further. When Gao Xianzhi's troops appear, the surprise soldiers I arranged will hurt them severely!"
