The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 820 Tang Jun!Tang Jun! (seeking subscription)

The two days and nights of fighting made the Tang army led by Gao Xianzhi change from tens of thousands of soldiers before departure to only [-] soldiers left.

Li Siye's front battalion suffered the heaviest loss. In order to blaze a trail for the army to advance westward, the entire front battalion was almost completely lost.Of the 4000 cavalry led by Lin Hui, [-] of them crossed the river and lost contact with them, and only half of the remaining [-] cavalry remained.

In addition, Duan Xiushi was seriously injured, and the army of the [-] rear battalion lost all their luggage.But this is not Duan Xiushi's fault, it is not easy to successfully escort the Chinese army westward with Sanqianerlang.

Seeing the remnants of the rear battalion holding Duan Xiushi, who was seriously injured and comatose, coming to him, the disheartened Gao Xianzhi was speechless for a moment.Lin Hui saw it, and took out her own healing potion: "Give it to him, bandage it up and find a horse to carry it."

In the middle of the night and early morning, the Tang army, who had fought fiercely for dozens of hours, was exhausted.

There is a price to be paid for jumping into the trap, and this price can be described as very heavy at present.

Nearly [-]% of the soldiers and horses were lost, and the backbone generals suffered heavy casualties.

After finally crossing a valley, the armies of both sides stopped fighting for a while separated by two mountains. Lin Hui looked at Gao Xianzhi with complicated eyes.

In this battle, the probability of winning is already very slim.

But if you say you lost, it's not a complete defeat.

Leading the charge with Li Siye, Lin Hui himself killed hundreds of Arab soldiers. Li Siye was a little less than her, but not too much less.

This is just the combat exploits of the two men. Counting the bloody battles of the whole army, the combat power displayed by the Tang army under adversity is extremely terrifying.

Lin Hui didn't have time to calculate it carefully before, but now she sat down and calculated it, and she could roughly guess that the number of casualties of the Arab army must be more than twice that of the Tang army, or even three times.

"Inheritance."

At this time, Gao Xianzhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Do you still have the military rations carried by our private horses?"

"Reporting to my lord, the last general just went to investigate. Most of the private food is taken care of by Bahana's cavalry department. Although half of it was lost during the breakout, the remaining food is enough for us to use for ten days."

And food?

Lin Hui was a little surprised when she heard this. Didn't the back camp lose all their belongings?
Seeing Lin Hui's strange expression, Li Siye coughed and said: "This is the secret of your lord's military use. As long as you travel long distances, your lord will prepare a standing supply of food and pay, and at the same time encourage our soldiers to bring their own rations. If the battle goes wrong Or if you need to last for a long time, you will use these private grains, and when you win the battle and get the goods, the adults will reward the soldiers with double the price, and the soldiers will not lose money."

Private food?

There is still such a routine?

Only now does Lin Hui know why Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye have kept her away from Dawan soldiers and horses, and there are secrets in their relationship that cannot be revealed.

Doing so is definitely against military law, but considering that Gao Xianzhi has been running across Congling Mountains all year round, rushing and killing among plateau peaks thousands of meters above sea level, this method of storing food for soldiers seems to be extremely beneficial to strategic deployment.

After seeing Tang Jun's brave side, Lin Hui saw Gao Xianzhi's cunning side.If it had been her, Lin Hui, who had come to command this battle, and had fought fiercely for two days and two nights and then lost logistics, this battle would really not have been fought.

Lin Hui's thoughts were full of emotions, Li Siye turned around and asked: "My lord, the soldiers are already hungry, should we arrange to bury the pot first?"

Gao Xianzhi dragged his chin and pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Let the soldiers bury the pot, but this meal is not available for now, you guys listen, next...

.........

"report!"

"Thick smoke was found coming from the northwest."

Just as Gao Xianzhi and the others were burying the cooking pot, a fast horse galloped towards the Arab army camp separated by two mountain peaks.

Turning over, he jumped off his horse and trotted forward, and told the commander-in-chief of the battle, the governor of Khorasan, Abu Muslin, the latest report.

"Thick smoke?"

Although Abu was the meritorious founding minister of the Abbasid Dynasty, and was not even weaker than the first Caliph Abu Abbas of the Black Dashi Dynasty, he is actually only 34-five years old this year, which can be said to be in his prime.

Having personally led and even led the pursuit to this point, Abu didn't feel how tired he was. Looking at the dark sky, he said with an inexplicable smile: "Our enemies, they are hungry."

As soon as he said that, someone immediately answered: "You mean they are preparing dinner? Should we send troops now and not give them any chance to eat their stomachs."

"Ziyad, do you still remember our struggle in Khorasan? At that time, we would also face embarrassment, would we be afraid to fight because we didn't have enough to eat?"

What Abu said made his confidant Ziyad shake his head immediately: "No, we are brave fighters, and we will not be afraid of hunger."

"Yeah, we won't, and Tang people won't either."

Abu smiled and shook his head, and continued: "This is a respectable opponent, but also a terrible opponent. Under such adversity, he can still bring us serious damage, and hunger will not defeat him."

"What does the general mean, let them eat?"

At this time, a lord player next to Abu's eyes lit up, and he said: "When a tired person is full, they will be swept away by sleepiness. At that time, they will urgently need to rest. Even the will of Allah is difficult." Change."

"Yes, you are right. We need to give them a full meal. Maybe what they eat is the last ration." As a combat leader who has led uprisings all year round, Abu's mind is not bad, and his subordinates may be able to Sees three steps below his feet, but he can see five steps away.

Two hours later, that is, around four o'clock in the morning.

Abu ordered the army to take a three-way detour and attack from several mountain paths at the same time. Both he and the Arab players felt that at this time, even if the well-fed Tang army did not sleep to death, at least they had no intention of fighting again.

However, when a group of Arab soldiers and horses walked out of the mountain path smoothly, what greeted them was overwhelming flying arrows.

In the previous raids, the crossbowmen of the Tang army could hardly shoot in the breakout, and had to switch to break out with sabers. Now they were waiting in formation. The throwing of these crossbowmen and Dawan cavalry was not polite.

I didn't choose to ambush in the mountains because there will be scouts from the opponent in the mountains, and it is easy to expose our true intentions in advance.

However, even if there is no ambush, Tang Jun is not afraid of any battle.

The rice is indeed ready, and there is soup and water.

But Gao Xianzhi didn't order it, even some wounded soldiers who were in charge of cooking didn't taste it.Everyone held back their energy, waiting for the counterattack before dawn.

"Follow me, go!"

Li Siye, Gao Xianzhi, and Lin Hui respectively led troops to rush towards the Arab soldiers marching out of each fork.

With the help of Arrow Rain's power, he rushed straight to the opponent's front.

The general is not afraid of death, but the pawns fight with their lives.

Just as Abu thought, Tang Jun would not be afraid to fight because of hunger.

It's just that Abu still underestimated Tang Jun, Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye, Lin Hui...
