Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- In Isfahan, Zagros Mountains, in Du Rui's main tent, the guards hung up a map drawn by Du Rui himself.
"Everyone! This is right here. This will be the first battle of the Tang Dynasty to conquer Dashi. We must fight this battle well and strive to annihilate all Dashi's blocking troops in one battle to boost morale!" Du Rui did not say anything. Looking at the map, he walked to the middle of the commander's tent, his gleaming eyes lingering on the faces of the generals for a moment, "The Zagros Mountains have complex and dangerous terrain, and they can eat the garrison halfway up the mountain. We need to build a city and defend it. If we attack from the front, it will definitely bring a lot of casualties, so we can only win this battle skillfully."
After a long march, the Western Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty joined Su Lin's troops and entered the territory of later Iran in one fell swoop. At that time, the Islamic Kingdom only had one city left in Kabul. Fortunately, the Tang army arrived in time, and the cannibals also Without further entanglement, we retreated directly into Isfahan.
The chief food officer stationed here is a Shule man named White Wolf. He relies on the dangerous terrain to block the advancement of the Tang army and buy enough time for the army to prepare.
It can be said that the White Wolf is an abandoned son. The meaning of their existence is to build the final line of defense for Yazid I and Khalid and buy time.
Du Rui has also surveyed the terrain of this generation in the past few days. The opponent is defending according to the danger. If it is a strong attack, it may be a waste of military strength. Du Rui is not willing to do that kind of thing.
In his eyes, every Tang Dynasty soldier is a priceless treasure. As the commander-in-chief, Du Rui brought these soldiers here from their parents, wives, brothers and sisters, and he had the obligation to take them back alive.
Du Rui's eyes were cold and sharp, and there was an unquestionable flavor in his words. All the generals of the Tang Army straightened their backs, waiting for Du Rui's order.
"The final wish of Emperor Taizong and Emperor Gaozong is to destroy Dashi. It is related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty. There must be no room for failure. Those who have made meritorious service in this battle shall be rewarded heavily by me, and reported to the Holy Majesty, with promotions and titles. , Needless to say, if there is anyone who delays the military aircraft, no matter who it is, they will be held accountable!"
Du Rui's eyes once again passed over the faces of the generals, and even Su Lin, Du Xuexian and others couldn't help but feel a hint of chill, as well as the murderous aura!
Everyone knows that Du Rui is very strict in running the army. Although he is usually kind and generous to his soldiers, if anyone dares to violate his military regulations, no matter who it is, he will punish him.
When Du Rui led his army into Sanhan, Su Lin refused to carry out Du Rui's order to massacre the city. Du Rui was so angry that he almost beheaded him. If the generals hadn't interceded, Su Lin would have died long ago. Even so, Du Rui also beat her with a hundred military sticks. Because of this, Du Yunfu had been complaining about Du Rui for a long time.
"I don't dare, general!" the generals responded with clasped fists.
They all know that Du Rui is not joking. If he really violates military regulations, Du Rui will never be merciless in killing people. Since Du Rui joined the army ten years after Zhenguan, in the past thirty years, all enemies have died in Du Rui's hands. There are countless of them, and there are also many of our own people who have violated military regulations.
¡°These generals of the Tang Army used to be people who were not afraid of heaven or earth, but when Du Rui¡¯s eyes lingered on their faces, no matter who they were, they couldn¡¯t help but shudder.
Du Rui¡¯s eyes penetrate deep into his heart, as if he can see through people. No one can hide in front of Du Rui. Affected by this momentum, everyone is a little more timid towards the coach.
After the warning, it was time to get down to business. The reason why these veterans were given a killing blow first could also be explained by the fact that Du Rui was nervous.
That¡¯s right!
" Du Rui is nervous. It's ridiculous to say that a military god of the Tang Dynasty, a general who has experienced countless battles and made great achievements, would actually be nervous before the war is about to break out.
But Du Rui was nervous. He knew very well that this battle was different from the previous one. He had fought against this opponent before, the Dashi Empire, and had achieved an unprecedented victory.
However, the previous battles were just preparations for this war of annihilation. Everything was prepared for this battle. If it wins, the Tang Dynasty will truly unify the world, whether it is Europe or the distant Americas. There will be another opponent of Datang. If it loses, Datang will be completely pulled down from the altar, and it is very likely that it will be doomed.
Of course, there is another purpose, which is to give a beating. Du Rui can feel that these Tang Junsu generals present have contempt for Dashi. This attitude is not necessary before the war begins. Du Rui feels that it is necessary to give a beating. , if after the war begins, the overall situation is affected due to one person's negligence, that would be terrible.
Du Rui tried to calm himself down, and said with a slow tone, "Let's discuss this battle.How to arrange it! "
As he spoke, Du Rui turned around and looked at the map.
"Du Pingsheng! Ask your generals to introduce the terrain here!"
In the past, Feng Zhao was responsible for gathering information about the enemy and surveying the terrain before the war, but Feng Zhao is no longer there. Du Rui doesn't know where he is now. This important task was naturally given to Du Pingsheng. Although he has a straightforward temper , but there are subtleties in the rough. After following Du Rui for so many years, I can still deal with these things.
Du Pingsheng stood up and explained in detail the distribution, configuration, and local terrain of the Great Eater to the generals present.
After Du Pingsheng finished explaining, Du Rui looked at the generals and said, "Everyone, what do you think?"
Everyone was staring at the map and thinking carefully, and did not speak immediately.
In the end, it was Su Lin who was the first to stand up. Su Lin had been confronting the Dashi people in Central Asia for a long time, and all he wanted in his heart was to avenge Su Dingfang. It can be said that there was no information about Dashi that he didn't know about, and he knew everything about Isfahan. Naturally, he knew the terrain well. He stood up and walked to Du Rui's side, pointed at the map and said: "Commander! Generals! Look, here, halfway up the Zagros Mountains, is the cannibal. The big camp is defended by many small camps nearby. The big camp is backed by a mountain, and there are many steep cliffs in front of the camp. There are thousands of soldiers guarding and guarding these small camps on both sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to defend. Attack. Although there is a relatively gentle hillside under the cliff directly in front of the camp, the terrain is narrow and it is impossible to deploy large-scale troops. It is very disadvantageous for our attack. If we launch the offensive from the front, the opponent can use the terrain to attack us. The army is constantly blocking the attack, but because our army cannot deploy its formation, even if it attacks, it is just a fueling tactic, and the gain outweighs the loss!"
Du Rui nodded and said: "That's good, so how do you think our army should respond!?"
"The hilltop behind the Dashi Military Camp is the highest point of the Zagros Mountains. Although the top of the mountain is relatively flat, the terrain on the back is higher and steeper, and is inaccessible. However, General Du has just said that our army has explored the Zagros Mountains. There are several uphill trails behind Gross Mountain. If you attack from here, you can go around and go up the mountain." Su Lin said while moving his finger on the map, "So the general thought that he could use a surprise force to attack with a small force. The troops went up the mountain on the path and circled to the mountain behind the Dashi Camp, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."
Du Rui couldn't help feeling relieved after hearing this. The person he was most worried about when sending troops this time was Su Lin. He knew that Su Lin was eager for revenge. In the past few years, he had been preparing his army all the time, just waiting to send out troops for a feast. To avenge Su Dingfang, the last time Xue Rengui sent troops, he secretly returned to Chang'an and recommended himself to Du Rui.
What Du Rui is most worried about this time is that Su Lin is blinded by hatred and makes wrong judgments that affect the overall situation. But now it seems that these years of hard work have made Su Lin a lot calmer.
Du Rui nodded and pondered for a while. Although he appreciated what Su Lin said very much, as the commander of the Western Expedition, he obviously had more to consider: "Your idea is good, but your arrangement is successful. Although the certainty is great, it is also too dangerous. The mountain is dangerous and there are not many troops that can be invested. If a giant cannibal is tightly defended, we may suffer heavy losses. And our goal is not just to defeat the enemy, but also to defeat the enemy who blocks it. To annihilate them all or most of them, careful arrangements must be made. The 30,000 elite soldiers guarding the Zagros Mountains must be well prepared now. If a sneak attack fails, they will be alerted!"
Although Du Rui often takes risks when using his troops, he is unwilling to do this kind of gambling strategy, because if he is accidentally discovered by the cannibal, there is the danger of the entire army being destroyed, and it will be too late to regret it. .
Du Rui then looked at the others and asked, "What other plans do you have?"
Brainstorming is Du Rui's habit. He doesn't like to talk all the time. Although he has a general strategy in mind every time he fights, he still likes to listen to other people's opinions. After all, one person is short-term and everyone is long-term.
After hearing this, all the generals expressed their opinions, but what surprised Du Rui was that his five sons all agreed with Su Lin's opinions, and one by one they jumped out and expressed their willingness to lead troops to sneak attack on the cannibal from the alley. .
Du Xuezheng also added that one force would make a surprise attack from the side and the rear, and the frontal force would then launch a feint attack to attract the attention of the cannibals, making it impossible for them to cover everything, and then capture the enemy camp in one fell swoop and annihilate them.
After hearing this, Du Rui was shocked and made a decision, saying: "Although the cannibal's camp is relatively spacious, the number of 30,000 people's tents is not a small number. With 20 people per tent, there are 1,500 people." With more than a hundred roofs built together, the distance between them must not be very large, so we will make such an arrangement, Su Lin!"
Su Lin was immediately excited when he heard that Du Rui was the first to call his name.The fight started, and he raised his hands and said: "The general is here!"
Du Rui said: "I order you to lead a thousand elite soldiers from the back mountain secretly to attack the cannibal's camp secretly."
Su Lin quickly responded excitedly: "I will obey your order!"
Du Rui hesitated for a moment, then looked at Du Xuezheng and said, "Du Xuezheng!"
Du Xuezheng didn¡¯t expect that Du Rui would order his general. He quickly stood up, imitated Su Lin¡¯s example, cupped his hands and said, ¡°The last general!¡±
Du Rui nodded and said: "This time, you will go with General Su. You will obey General Su's command in everything and do not make any arbitrary claims!"
Du Rui asked Du Xuezheng to go with him, but he was also struggling in his heart. After all, this trip was dangerous. If something went wrong, he would send his son into a pit of fire!
But Du Xuezheng was very excited, as if he was afraid that Du Rui would regret it, and said hurriedly: "I will obey my order!"
Du Rui gave Du Xuezheng an encouraging look, and then said: "Gao Xingzhen led the front to attack the enemy on the Zagros Mountains from the front. It was a bluff. Don't make a big move now. Once you see a fire on the mountain, your troops will be the whole army." Forerunners, go straight to Dashi Camp!"
Gao Xingzhen has always been calm. After hearing the order, he hurriedly said: "I will obey the order!"
Du Rui discussed with everyone again and was about to leave the accounts when he saw a personal guard coming in and said: "Commander, someone from Byzantium is here to see you!"
Upon hearing the three words "Byzantium", everyone in the big tent showed angry faces. The Tang Dynasty had eyes and ears all over the world. Although it was tens of thousands of miles away from Byzantium, they wanted to know something about what was happening in the west. , it is not a difficult task, not to mention that Egypt is acquired by the Tang Dynasty, and it is much more convenient to send messages to the Tang Dynasty through the Red Sea.
When Du Rui's army had just passed Congling, they had already received news from Xue Rengui. Dashi had frequent contacts with Byzantium, and the Byzantine troops entered Syria to block the Tang Dynasty's Egyptian army from participating in the Western Expedition. Great war.
And there are frequent actions in the Mediterranean. The navy not only blocked the islands of Cyprus and Crete, but also cruised outside Alexandria from time to time.
It was not difficult for Du Rui to understand Leo III's actions. He was just worried that his lips would die and his teeth would be cold. Although he was angry, he didn't take it to heart. In this battle, Du Rui had no intention of letting Xue Rengui's troops die prematurely. Get involved.
But the reaction of the rest of the Tang army was different. They felt betrayed, especially when there was a Geluolu tribe in front.
??When Su Dingfang and Ibrahi Muhammad fought in Talos, if it hadn't been for a Geluolu tribe who surrendered to the enemy on the battlefield, the Tang army would not have suffered a disastrous defeat, and hundreds of thousands of Tang army soldiers would not have died on the battlefield.
So when they heard that Byzantium and Dashi were colluding, all the soldiers were extremely angry.
Especially Su Lin, when he heard that Byzantium actually dared to send people over, he immediately became angry and shouted: "Commander! Byzantium betrayed the covenant for no reason and surrendered to Dashi. This is intolerable. Please behead the envoy in the future to sacrifice the flag." "
The rest of the people also shouted that they wanted to be killed.
Du Rui waved his hand and said: "Everyone calm down. The two countries are fighting and we are not going to kill the envoys. What's more, we, the Tang Dynasty and Byzantium, are enemies or friends. We can't judge at the moment. If you come, the envoys will be brought in for questioning."
Not long after, a middle-aged Westerner walked in timidly. Facing the hateful eyes of the Tang army officers, he almost fainted. He finally forced himself to calm down and quickly said to Du Rui: "Candreva has seen a big man." Marshal of the Tang Empire!"
Thanks to the continuous exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and Byzantium over the years, many Byzantine people are proficient in Chinese, especially those businessmen who travel between the two countries, and their Chinese language is no different from that of the Tang people.
Du Rui¡¯s face was cold, he nodded slightly and said, ¡°Your envoy came from afar, why did you do that?¡±
Candreva quietly wiped his sweat, pretended to be calm, and said: "The emperor of our country~~~~No~~~~ is ordered by His Majesty King Leo III to come here specifically for the Tang Dynasty and Arabia. The Empire makes peace!¡±
"Presumptuous!"
"Nonsense!"
¡°You are not ashamed to speak loudly!¡±
The generals shouted again when they heard the words. Du Rui waved his hand and sneered: "Make peace? Leo III really means well, but as I know, Byzantium and Arabia have been enemies for generations. Now we, the Tang Dynasty, are going to conquer Arabia, this is to avenge your country. Your king doesn¡¯t want to help me, the Tang Dynasty, and destroy the Arab Empire. Why would he send you to make peace? Could it be that Byzantium has already made a private alliance with Arabia and wants to trick me, the Tang Dynasty? Can¡¯t do it!?¡±
Du Rui¡¯s voice became louder and louder, frightening Candreva until he turned pale. He waved his hands and said: "No! No! No! Your Excellency, Marshal, you misunderstood. How could His Majesty Leo III have any relationship with the Arabs?"What about collusion? The people of our country will always remember your help to our country. It¡¯s just that our king is kind-hearted and does not want to see too much bloodshed and sacrifice, so he sent me to make peace. I hope that the war between the three countries will stop forever. Truce and enjoy peace and happiness forever! "
Hearing this, Du Rui burst out laughing, which made Candreva's heart beat wildly and he almost fainted.
After Du Rui laughed, he stood up and sternly rebuked: "What a Byzantine, what a Leo III, do you really think that this handsome man is just a child! My army has traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, could it be because of a few words of Leo III? , and left in vain. Your king may not think too highly of himself. I am fully aware of your little tricks in private. I will go back and tell Leo III that I am here to destroy Arabia. I will not turn back until I win. If you, the Byzantines, are smart, you will immediately attack Arabia with me, and when we divide the benefits afterwards, you will naturally not treat you badly. If you are stubborn, if I destroy Arabia, I will go and destroy you, Byzantium!"
As soon as Du Rui's declaration came out, Candreva was so scared that his calves almost cramped. Looking at Du Rui's angry look, he felt a burst of pain in his heart, but he still had to say what he needed to say. Otherwise, there was no way to explain it when we went back, so we had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Excellency, Marshal! Please think twice. If a war breaks out, only innocent lives will be killed or injured. Our King has said that if the Tang Dynasty is willing to withdraw its troops, it will be with the Tang Dynasty." Hello Tang Yongshimeng!"
Hearing this, Du Rui sneered: "What if I don't agree!? Are you going to declare war on me, the Tang Dynasty!"
"No! No! No!" Candreva waved his hands repeatedly. He felt that he had failed as a diplomat and was completely suppressed by Du Rui's momentum. But what could he do? The bargaining chip in Byzantium's hands There were so few that the Tang Empire didn't care at all. Not to mention declaring war on the Tang Dynasty, they didn't have the guts to forcefully stop Xue Rengui's army from passing through Syria.
Du Rui and Candreva were panicked, and did not want to embarrass this little character, so he said: "Okay! I won't embarrass you, go back and tell Leo III that if he dares to be an enemy of the Tang Empire, let him be cleansed The neck is waiting for me to chop it with a knife. Also, don¡¯t think that Byzantium is so important to the Tang Dynasty. With Byzantium, I want to destroy the Great Eclipse. Without Byzantium to help me, I can still destroy the Great Eclipse. Come! See off the guests!"
Candreva was almost pushed out. He wanted to talk again, but Du Rui didn't give him this chance at all.
After driving Candreva away, Du Rui was still angry. That Leo III really regarded himself as a person and actually sent someone to threaten him. In this case, I'm sorry.
The reason why Du Rui does not plan to use Xue Rengui's army to participate in this battle of annihilation is that he plans to keep the fresh force of Xue Rengui's army until he kills Dashi, and then turns around to use it to command Byzantium.
"You have all seen it. Now you should know what the words I used to say often mean!" Du Rui said, "In this world, there is no eternal friendship between countries, but only eternal interests. Whether friendship is strong or not depends on the price of betrayal. King Leo III of Byzantium was short-sighted and bought half of Syria's territory. This way, it just makes our military achievements more outstanding! "
Hearing Du Rui say such bold words, all the generals of the Tang army present stood up and applauded. Killing a big food was enough to get them promotions. If a Byzantine was added, I don't know how many people there would be after this battle. The name will be listed in Lingyan Pavilion.
Those who are soldiers will only be happy, and they will not be worried at all.

The Zagros Mountains, located in the southwest of the Iranian Plateau, stretch for 1,200 kilometers from northwest to southeast, with an average altitude of 3,000 meters, and are basically parallel to the Mesopotamian Plain and the Persian Gulf Coast.
To the east of the mountain range, it is difficult for the moist air from the ocean to enter the interior of Iran. The climate is dry and rainless, with a large temperature difference between cold and hot, and a distinct continental climate. The west side of the mountains has steep slopes, more precipitation, and strong erosion. At the base of the canyon, exposed limestone layers can be seen. There are many broad valleys and basins between the mountains. Affected by the air flow from the west, there is slightly more precipitation. It is an agricultural and animal husbandry area in Iran.
The Zagros Mountains are a spectacular natural dividing line that has historically served as a border between different cultures and political entities, including early Mesopotamian and Median cultures, the Parthian and Roman empires, and more recently The Persian Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
The mountains and foothills on the edge of the mountains are home to a large part of the native people. In addition to Persian descendants, there are also considerable numbers of Assyrian Christians, Kurds, Lur, Bakhtiari and Qashqa people. Ethnic group.
The vegetation on the mountain is mostly low shrubsand pasture, but the terrain is steep and has many cliffs. Only the west side is gentler, but it is difficult to get around. Here, the cannibal occupies the dangerous terrain, and builds castle camps along several cliffs to guard the valley and nearby roads. .
Although the camp guarded by the Big Eater was hastily built, it is extremely dangerous due to the terrain. There are about 20,000 people stationed in the main camp. The commander of the army, Bai Lang, is here again. Several hundred to several hundred people are stationed in other places. There are thousands of people, and each camp defends each other, fighting each other. If one attack is made, many places will respond. There are many defensive fortifications directly in front, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. And once the cannibal is attacked, If the battle situation is unfavorable, you can quickly escape from the west side.
The next day, Du Rui officially issued an order to attack the Zagros Mountains, ordering Gao Xingzhen to lead his 30,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, as well as 5,000 cavalry from Qibi Heli's son Qi Biming and Qi Biguang. , for the front line of the army, launched an attack.
A large team of people followed up and made preparations.
At the same time, Su Lin's troops also set off. According to the prior plan, they would become a surprise force and launch a sneak attack on the Dashi military camp from the side and rear.
White Wolf, the Dashi guard guarding Zakros Mountain, was originally a noble from Shule. Later, when the Tang Dynasty conquered Shule, he followed his tribe and moved west to the territory of the Dashi Empire. Weiye's high regard, after Yazid I came to power, he did not neglect him.
During the Tang Dynasty's massive Western Expedition, Emperor Yezid I entrusted him with the important task of guarding Zakros Mountain. However, this white wolf was a mediocre and reckless man. He relied on many troops to guard the area. In such a dangerous place, the camp has a large amount of food, grass and livestock, which can supply 30,000 people for several months. The Tang army came from afar and were not familiar with the environment, and no news of the Tang army's attack came back from the scouts they sent. They couldn't help but be a little careless, thinking that the Tang army was afraid of him, a man who was in charge of the barrier and ten thousand people could not attack, so he did not dare to attack at will. He stayed in his tent every day, drinking and having fun.
Every time after drinking too much, Bai Lang would complain that Ye Zide I and Khalid were too timid and deified the Tang army. According to his temperament, he would recruit people and fight with the Tang army. Enjoyable.
" However, Ye Zide I strictly ordered him to hold on and not attack. White Wolf had no choice but to send more scouts to find out the Tang army's movements and wait for the Tang army to come.
After Su Lin was ordered to set off, he advanced rapidly along the way. However, many areas were steep and the roads were rugged and difficult to navigate. In many places, it was necessary to dismount and walk. The Tang army was not moving very fast, but the journey was smooth.
After marching until noon, Gao Xingzhen's army arrived at the foot of Zakros Mountain. Looking up, halfway up the mountain was the camp built by the big cannibal. Gao Xingzhen first did not take off the saddle of the horse, and the man did not take off his armor. Rest, replenish food and water, restore physical strength, and prepare for attack.
It was not until this time that the big eaters stationed on the Zagros Mountains discovered the Tang army and hurriedly reported it to the White Wolf. When the White Wolf heard this, he became excited and hurriedly wanted to send troops. Fortunately, he was stopped by the deputy general, although he was angry. It was boring, but he could only order people to monitor the movements of the Tang army and prepare the camp.
At the same time, a thousand elite soldiers led by Su Lin had quietly arrived near the destination and were ready for a surprise attack.
This area is inaccessible, and there are very few pedestrians encountered along the way. The occasional few people were shot and killed. Although those people died unjustly, for the sake of the overall situation, Su Lin naturally didn't care so much.
After a brief rest, the soldiers of the Tang Army began a Jedi adventure under the leadership of Su Lin. When Xi Jun bought Feidu Tianqi, it became a good talk. What Su Lin has to do today is not much easier than when Xi Jun bought it.
The road is much more difficult and dangerous than Su Lin initially thought. Although the terrain is not very good, there are only a few dangerous sections that are difficult to navigate, and you need to lead the horse up the mountain. The rest of the road is fairly flat. In particular, there are no tall woods and shrubs on the Zagros Mountains. Most of them are continuous weeds or scattered moraine. Occasionally, there are low shrub-like plants growing in some places. Basic sections of the road can be passed on horseback. .
They couldn't attack during the day and had to wait until night. After arriving at the destination, Su Lin ordered everyone to rest where they were and wait for orders. Su Lin quietly took Du Xuezheng to a high ground and looked over with his clairvoyance. It was quiet in the cannibal military camp, except for the constant cannibal cavalry patrolling back and forth.
It didn't take long for it to get dark. The patrols of the Great Eaters were still quite intensive. There were also a lot of soldiers in each team, but they were only patrolling inside the camp and in front of both sides of the camp. The hills behind were considered by them to be natural. Barrier, they never imagined that someone would come around and attack them from this direction.
"Uncle, is it time?"
Du Xuezheng was already a little impatient waiting. This was his first time.He couldn't wait to rush forward and fight for a while, using the steel knife and spear in his hand to make achievements and shine on the lintel of the Du family.
For a young man, the first battle is crucial to them. Du Rui's first battle was to follow Li Jing in the Northern Expedition to the Turks. As a result, he not only achieved a complete victory, but also made great achievements. If Su Dingfang hadn't been too great If we were cautious, Jieli Khan might even become his prisoner.
Su Lin smiled faintly and handed over his clairvoyance to Du Xuezheng. He was also very optimistic about this nephew. He had not had much contact with him before, but after this day, he decided that Du Xuezheng would become a great talent in the long run. , Not to mention that Du Xuezheng is such a noble young man, even he can't stand it, but Du Xuezheng insisted on persisting, and did not complain about pain or tiredness, just holding on like this. This alone is commendable.
"Don't be anxious, wait until Gao Xingzhen's army at the foot of the mountain starts to attack. That's when we start to show off our power. We only have a thousand people here now. If we rush up rashly, it will be bad luck if Gao Xingzhen's attack is blocked. It¡¯s up to us, don¡¯t be in a hurry, wait, patience will lead to victory!¡±
Du Xuezheng looked at Su Lin with a vague understanding, but he understood one thing. The most taboo thing for a general is to be impatient.
"Uncle! These thousand elite soldiers of yours were all trained on the battlefield!"
Su Lin smiled and said: "That's natural. Even though they are not very old, each of them has at least hundreds of lives on their hands. Your father won't let me take the initiative to provoke, but sometimes they can eat people." We are looking for death and come to our door. If we don¡¯t take care of them, wouldn¡¯t it be our fault!¡±
Over the years, Du Rui repeatedly ordered Su Lin to restrain himself, but his father's hatred was irreconcilable, and Su Lin could not bear it. From time to time, he would send troops to plunder the territory of Dashi, and sometimes the people of Dashi could not bear to be disturbed. Sending troops to expel them gave Su Lin an excuse to kill them all immediately and annihilate them all.
The sky is getting darker and darker, and even the people close in front of me can't see clearly. There are a few strong winds blowing over, and the smell that is inhaled in the nose seems to be the smell of water vapor, as if there is some mist.
The altitude of Mount Zakros is quite high, and the temperature difference at night is huge. Su Lin couldn't help but feel a little cold. Looking at Du Xuezheng, who was pale from the cold, he smiled and said, "Boy! Are you okay?"
When Du Xuezheng was young and full of energy, how could he say that he couldn't hold on any longer? He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay! I can hold on!"
Su Lin no longer asked, but carefully observed everything around him. He knew that this was the darkest time before dawn, and after a while, the sky would slowly light up. According to Du Rui's arrangement, the mountain The attack time of Gao Xingzhen's team at his feet is coming soon.
Su Lin ordered people to wake up all the soldiers. The well-trained soldiers woke up from their dazed state. No strange noises were made. The horses around them were also gagged to prevent them from making any noise.
The soldiers who had rested for a period of time have recovered most of their physical strength. They each mounted their horses and stood by in place. They were all the elites under Su Lin's tent. In the original battle, all the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army were lost. From that time on, Su Lin vowed to train a team that was no weaker than the Flying Tiger Army and avenge the soldiers who died in the battle. Now, in terms of elite level, these thousand people are no longer as good as the one with the The legendary Flying Tiger Army is missing.
Su Lin, who was standing at a high place, used his binoculars to observe the moving Dashi military camp with the light of some torches. According to prior intelligence, the camp the Dashi Army was guarding was a slightly flat hillside in the mountains. It was densely packed with tents of the Dashi people, stretching down from the mountainside. There were also some on several nearby hills. Some giant cannibal camps.
"Everyone is ready, Kaili. The time has come to kill the big food dog. Everyone has sharpened their knives for me. If anyone dares to retreat then, the sword in my hand will not allow you to do so!" Su Lin gave the order in a low voice. Ordered.
Du Xuezheng listened and clutched the spear in his hand tightly. There was excitement and a little nervousness on his face. After all, it was his first time to fight, and he would kill people later. Even though Du Xuezheng had already prepared, but Nervousness is inevitable.
Sure enough, not long after, there was a sudden cry of killing from the bottom of the mountain. At dawn, this is the time when people are most sleepy. Since noon yesterday, the cannibals have been preparing for the attack of the Tang army. Their nerves have been tense for such a long time. , and was already tired.
The sudden shouts of killing caused the entire Dashi military camp to go into chaos. Just as Bai Lang fell asleep hugging a few women he had snatched, he was awakened by Tang Jun's shouts of killing. He hurriedly put on his armor. He rushed out with a machete in hand.
As soon as Bai Lang stood still, he heard a violent explosion, which scared him so much that he almost fell to the ground. This was a thunderbolt thrown by Su Lin's sneak attack team from the top of the mountain.
As soon as he heard the cry of killing, Su Lin knew that the time had come, and immediately ordered his subordinates to start attacking. A thousand thunderbolts were thrown from the head of the big eater, and the big eater was in chaos for a while. The military camp was even more chaotic.
The sound of explosions continued, and fires ignited in some camps, and then more tents burst into flames. The fire quickly spread through the camp with the help of the wind, lighting up the entire camp and the entire valley. .

The men fell to the ground, wailing and rolling.

Some Dashi soldiers finally restrained the frightened horses. Under the orders of some general-looking people, they also organized and tried to find these sneak attackers. However, everyone's face was extremely frightened, and it was even more difficult to see in the firelight. It's extremely ferocious.
