Chapter 3275: Worried

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    By the time the infantry from behind arrived, the Tang army had already roared away, and the north wind swept the snow particles whistling between the sky and the earth.

    Ye Zide had just recovered from the shock. He swallowed hard, put the scimitar into its sheath, and looked around with a gloomy expression.  Seeing the tragic scene before his eyes, his normally cold heart couldn't help but contract violently, and a wave of extreme humiliation hit his heart

    The mutilated corpses of soldiers and horses were strewn all over the place, with black gunpowder residue and red blood flowing. The soldiers and horses who had not yet died were rolling and wailing in the pool of blood. The sounds were heartbreaking and unbearable to witness.

    The dignified successor of the empire and the commander-in-chief of an army was unexpectedly attacked by the enemy not far from his own camp, suffering heavy casualties and being embarrassed. How could the usually unruly Ye Zide accept this?

    When the infantrymen came closer, they were stunned by the tragic scene in front of them. When they realized what was happening, they were frightened out of their wits and hurried forward to search for Ye Qide.

    If this person dies tragically here, it will be a big trouble

    Fortunately, although Ye Zide was in a mess and his armor was skewed, his arms, shoulder blades and other places were only scratched by the thunder fragments, so he was not seriously injured.

    Facing the inquiries from his generals, Ye Zide felt ashamed and ordered people to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded. Then he led his infantry to speed up and rushed to the camp where the ordnance was stored.

    But when he got closer, Ye Zide, who originally wanted to command the soldiers to rescue, felt a sigh of relief condensed in his chest, and finally turned into a depressed sigh.

    The entire camp was shrouded in raging fire. The fire used the wind to help the fire. The raging fire ignited everything that could burn. The fire was soaring into the sky and mixed with a pungent smell, which made Ye Zide understand that Tang Jun  There must be some kind of combustion-supporting substance added when setting the fire. This kind of fire can only wait until all the things that can burn are burned out, otherwise it will be difficult to put out.

    At this moment, the cavalry responsible for the pursuit returned and reported: "The enemy's light cavalry is simply equipped, and they have already fled far away after a successful attack. We can't catch up, and we are afraid that the enemy will set up an ambush halfway, so we can only return."

    Ye Qide nodded and stood outside the camp, a little confused.

    Naturally, he would not blame the pursuers for giving up the pursuit so easily. In fact, even he himself was already afraid of the Tang army's endless tricks, not to mention the soldiers under his command?  And he was almost certain that if he pursued them all the way, he would most likely fall into the Tang army's trap here.

    The people of Tang Dynasty are really too cunning

    After all, this is a nation that has been involved in wars for more than a thousand years. The strategies and tactics learned in the war have been written down in military books handed down from generation to generation. Countless war experiences have been passed on to future generations. They have even repeatedly killed their own people until they were almost on the verge of extinction.  Extinction.

    Too cruel

    Fortunately, I had vowed before that I could conquer the Western Regions in a few months, and even have the opportunity to reach the Jade Gate Pass to covet the country of the Tang Dynasty. Thinking about it now, I really feel like I am looking at the sky from a well, and I don¡¯t know how high the sky is.

    ??????????????? Although I am afraid of Tang people, but the war has reached this point, is it possible that I can still lead the army and escape back to Damascus with my tail between my legs?

    Fighting is definitely still necessary, but the strategy should be changed, and we can no longer underestimate the enemy and advance rashly as in the past.

    Fortunately, since the Battle of Suiye City, he has strictly ordered the grain and fodder to be placed in the center of the army. Otherwise, if it had been placed in the rear array according to past practice, it would probably have been burned to nothing by the siege weapons, let alone continue.  If the fight continues, it will be a question of whether the more than 100,000 troops can escape back to Damascus

    Rubbing his swollen temples, Ye Zide encouraged his voice to be as calm as possible and gave his subordinates a calm attitude: "The Tang army has been cornered and can only rely on such harassment tactics to disturb the morale of our troops. Don't worry, try your best to appease the soldiers.  Don¡¯t let the military¡¯s morale waver.¡±

    The deputy general asked: "If the Tang army continues to harass, what should we do?"

    There are people who commit a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. If we don¡¯t come up with a charter, if the Tang army continues to harass like this, everyone will worry that the Tang army will attack the camp in the middle of the night and they will be killed in their sleep.  Who can bear to lose his head?

    But Ye Qide was so confused at the moment, how could he think of a way to prevent the Tang army from attacking?

    He had no choice but to say: "Don't exaggerate the enemy's combat power. Just strengthen your vigilance. Double the number of soldiers patrolling at night. If you find anyone who dares to make lies to confuse the crowd and confuse the morale of the army, you will be killed without mercy!"

    The generals and commanders quickly accepted the order, but they couldn't help but curse in their hearts: That's it?  !

    The Tang army came and went like the wind, and had the advantage of firearms. Unless they mistakenly fell into the formation of their own longbowmen or spearmen, they could attack at will, hit them with one blow, and escape hundreds of miles away.  Just once or twice is enough. If harassment becomes the norm and the troops are panicked and have trouble sleeping and eating, how can the morale of the troops be maintained?

      Although I couldn't hide my disappointment, I felt that Ye Qide had no noble status but his ability to lead troops in war was really limited, but he didn't dare to question it face to face.

    The Arab world has distinct classes. Nobles are always nobles, and slaves are always slaves. The boundaries between superior and inferior cannot be crossed. If Yezid is offended and someone is simply beheaded on the spot, then he has died unjustly

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Last night was frightened and angry all night, and today was suffocated by the Tang army's attack on the camp. Standing in the cold wind, feeling cold and hungry, Ye Zide felt a little unbearable.  Although the grain and fodder were carried with the Chinese army, the very small amount of medicine carried with the army was placed in the ordnance camp. At this moment, it had also turned into fly ash along with the ordnance. If he caught the wind and cold, there would be no cure. It would be difficult.  Or do you have to let out blood to treat diseases like those slaves?

    ???????????????????????????????? If you are unfortunate enough to die before you leave the army, you will not be able to make any achievements, but you will become the object of ridicule of the entire food country

    Tightening the cloak around him, Ye Zide said: "Leave some people to clean up and see if we can collect some useful ordnance. I will return to the camp for the time being and consider countermeasures."

    After saying that, surrounded by his own soldiers, he rode north back to the Chinese army's tent.

    The generals were also helpless, leaving one person responsible for cleaning the dilapidated camp, while the others returned to their respective camps.

    Morale is extremely low.

    Everyone is a bit puzzled. How could the Arab Empire, which was originally invincible across Europe and Asia, fall into such an embarrassing situation step by step in fighting such a war that is almost certain?

    Being in the Western Regions is not a home battle. For the Arabs, defense may be more difficult than offense. The Tang army made up its mind to harass the Arabs mainly to undermine the morale of the Arabs and refused to fight head-on. Yezid thought about it and had no idea  Way to stop it.

    What's more, it's extremely cold and snowy in the Western Region right now. If the scouts are sent a little further, they may be encircled and suppressed by the Tang army. Even the nearby Hu tribe will secretly attack the Arab army scouts when they encounter them

    Therefore, when Ye Zide was sitting in the Chinese army's tent, unable to do anything, the Tang army's irregular attacks day and night continued one after another.

    The entire Arab army camp was restless and the soldiers were exhausted.

    ¡­¡­

    Inside the Gongyue City Yamen Office, Fang Jun was wearing a cotton robe, with a charcoal basin beside him, and he was bending over his desk to review the battle report.

    Xue Rengui was also dressed in regular clothes, but he sat on one side meticulously, holding a tea cup in his hand and slowly sipping the tea, feeling the warmth, and praised: "The handsome man is unparalleled in the world in his extraordinary skills.  There are countless gadgets invented by your hands, and each of them is ingenious. But in the eyes of the general, only gunpowder and cotton are more powerful than anything else."

    Gunpowder is nothing more. The emergence of such sharp weapons made the Tang army, which was already powerful enough to crush the heroes, even more powerful. It was simply a cross-dimensional strike.

    And in the past, the white cotton that people looked down upon could turn into such light, soft, heat-insulating and windproof cotton after deseeding, allowing people to brave the severe cold in the ice and snow, which really benefited hundreds of millions.

    It is conceivable that many poor families can now wear these cheap and warm cotton clothes to survive the harsh winter.

    No wonder the people in Guanzhong often call Fang Jun "the Buddha of all families". Such achievements in bringing good fortune to all people are indeed more highly praised by the people than the expansion of territory

    "Ah,"

    Hearing this, Fang Jun put down the brush in his hand, put the battle report aside, and said with a smile: "You, Xue Rengui, are not that kind of sycophant. Why did you stay in the Western Regions for some time, and then you were killed by the King of Hejian County?"  Did you lead him astray? Although the old prince is somewhat capable, he is extremely shameless in his greed for money and lust. You must not imitate him."

    The other scribes in the hall looked strange and lowered their heads one after another. They wanted to plug their ears and pretended they had never heard this.

    ¡°That¡¯s the Prince of Hejian County, who is known as ¡°the most handsome man in the clan¡±, and this second roommate actually teases him so unscrupulously
