Liu Bowen directly extended a thumbs up.
"Your Majesty, let's march. I suggest that the two vanguard officers should march along the enemy's north road to the Caspian Sea and go south, while we divide into two groups, and let General Yue Fei lead the Beiwei army up and down, cross the Iranian Plateau, and then Pasagadi joined forces and encircled the enemy's capital."
"And we, with our large army and heavy firepower such as the Shenji Battalion, marched all the way down to the southwest, attacked the city, captured the entire southern part of Persia, and divided Persia into two."
"Okay, just do as you say!"
It has to be said that Liu Bowen has a keen eye for making grand strategies that no one else has.
He could see very clearly that Persia, to put it bluntly, was a union of small countries, with various duchies and kingdoms standing side by side. Although Alexander the Great was wise and mighty, he wanted to wipe out these duchies and kingdoms. I am afraid that it would not be as simple as when Great Qin swept Liuhe back then.
Now although these kingdoms and duchies seem to surrender, how many of them are sincere?
"Command the army to go south to Malacanda and slaughter a city first so that they can get acquainted with the soldiers of my Great Tang."
"In this battle, the Shenji Battalion will fight."
"Yes!"
Su Lie's eyes were full of excitement, Shenjiying, finally able to show its fangs on the foreign battlefield.
The army marched for three days and came to the city of Malacanda.
At this time, the guard of Malacanda, Duke Marcus, was about to cry when he saw the Tang army who could not see the side outside.
He is the cousin of the current Alexander the Great. Although the relationship is a bit far away, he finally clings to this relationship, and was successfully named Duke, the trade center of Malacanda.
As the largest city in northern Persia, it has a permanent population of nearly 300,000, as well as a floating population. But now, the entire city is in depression, and traces of escape can be seen everywhere. As for ordinary people, except those who cannot afford to run, Anyone with a little wealth ran south.
"Your Majesty, they have raised the white flag,"
Just as Li Wenhao was about to give the order to fire, a white flag was raised over the city over there.
This made Li Wenhao very unhappy. He wanted to massacre the city to frighten the Persians and destroy their will to resist. How could he make them surrender?
"Su Lie, think of a way, give him a shot, blow up the white flag for me, and continue the siege!"
"Here!"
Su Lie's eyes jumped. As Li Wenhao's most loyal younger brother, Li Wenhao gave him everything Su Lie had, and he was always ready to take the blame for Li Wenhao.
"Zhuzi, isn't your mother's cannon accurate? I'll blow up that white flag for Lao Tzu soon."
"okay!"
Zhuzhu came to the front gun position and asked the people next to him to help adjust the angle. After some adjustments, Zhuzi made a gesture, reached for the torch and lit the fuse of the cannon.
"boom!"
After a loud noise, the white flag flew directly into the sky, and this cannonball also represented the official start of Li Wenhao's Western Expedition.
"Blast away their city walls and turn this place into ruins!"
"The cavalry is ready, no one will be left behind! The sword will not be sealed for three days."
Although Li Wenhao was somewhat annoyed by the practice of spreading the flames of war to the people, he had to do this for the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the nation. He wanted to scare the Persians and make them dare not resist.
As far as the future results are concerned, let the Persians die as soon as they die now. It's still the same sentence.
Chapter 543
"Your Majesty, they all..."
Although Liu Bowen agrees with Li Wenhao's tactics, the enemy in front of him has indeed surrendered.
"Why, afraid that it won't look good in the history books?"
Li Wenhao grinned.
"Since that's the case, then I'll give you a head start."
"Owl ghost army, charge!"
After the artillery fire ended, the city wall on the side facing Li Wenhao was completely in ruins. Looking inside along the collapsed city wall, what was left was half the city in ruins and half of the city had frightened people.
"kill!"
Even though Li Wenhao had already put on a golden armor at this time, he still did not change his bravery, and rushed in first, with the long spear in his hand, he would kill anyone on sight, and there was no one left for his men.
"Right and wrong, I will leave it to future generations to say!"
"Not a single one!"
"Here!"
The owl ghost army waved the butcher knife in his hand mercilessly, and waved it at the person who took down without resistance.
"Butcher, you are butchers!"
"Ah, I surrender, don't kill me!"
"I fought with you!"
Such shouts kept coming and going in the city, but it did not affect Li Wenhao's killing speed at all. He just wanted to kill.
In fact, the life and death of the people in this city is completely in the mind of Li Wenhao. He massacred the city just to scare the chickens and monkeys. The reality is so cruel. Sometimes, at the national level, a city with hundreds of thousands of people is just ridiculous. chicken.
"Soldiers, kill!"
Liu Bowen saw that Li Wenhao had personally joined the ranks of massacres, and he knew it in his heart. He pulled out the sword hanging from his waist, roared, and the army went out neatly.
"Using human bones as a monument, tell future generations that today I, Li Wenhao, personally led an army to massacre the city."
"In addition, send people to spread the news. From now on, wherever we attack the Tang Dynasty, anyone who has a city that has stood firm for more than five days will be slaughtered!"
"Jinyiwei!"
"exist!"
"Spread thousands of miles, explore the terrain, inquire about news, and pass it on with carrier pigeons."
"We are now in other people's land. Although Datang has won many battles, we must not be proud. We must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically."
"Yes!"
Ten days later, Li Wenhao led the army out of the Shura field. Behind him was a raging fire, and a monument piled up with human heads, a merit hall.
"Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is here to report that if we want to go south, we still need to cross the Wuqun River and the Muerjiabu River. According to my guess, if the enemy wants to stop us, they will definitely build defense lines in the Wuqun River and the Muerjiabu River. , use Baktra as a bridgehead to stop our army"
"No need to guess, this Alexander is a once-in-a-thousand-year war genius in Persia. If he hadn't met me and given him a little more time, he might have truly unified Persia and become the first emperor of Persia, just like the first emperor."
"But today..."
"White Horse Camp!"
"exist!"
Luo Song, who already had some white frost on his temples, stood in front of Li Wenhao holding his gun.
"Your [-] white horse battalion, went south overnight, and saw the enemy harassing it!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if we charge head-on, my [-] White Horse Battalion may not be of much use in such a big battle, but in terms of mobility..."
A sneer twitched at the corner of Luo Song's mouth. You must know that Baima Yicong was a highly mobile group who could chase Xianbei people and Wuhuan people like dogs.
"As far as righteousness goes..."
Luo Song raised his spear and shouted.
"Life and death follow each other, the sky is the witness, and the white horse is the mirror!"
The slogan that once resounded throughout northern Xinjiang sounded again, but this time, it was the Persians who had to bear the wrath of the White Horse Camp.
They probably would never have imagined in their entire lives that there were such fierce three thousand people in this world.
"Great Emperor, now that the enemy's army has broken through the border defenses and is targeting the Persian Gulf, we must respond."
Alexander the Great sat on the towering throne with a sad face.
If possible, he didn't want to go to war with Datang now. He wanted to test Datang's attitude by sanctioning Datang's merchants, but he never expected, never expected, that Li Wenhao would have such a violent reaction.
Without further ado, who could bear the direct pressure of millions of troops?
Moreover, the marching speed of the army is extremely fast.
In less than a month, their defense on the northern border has been completely destroyed, and Li Wenhao's army has penetrated deep into the hinterland.
"Give me accurate information, how many armies does Datang have now?"
"My lord, according to reliable sources, it is now known that there is a Turkic cavalry commanded by the Ashina family. The number may not be less than 500,000. It broke through at our southeastern border, which is Black Wind City."
"There are also two vanguards of the Tang Dynasty, namely the Flying Tiger Army led by Li Cunxiao who is known as the man who hates the sky and the earth has no ring, and the other is the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry who is good at long-distance raids."
"And there is another way. It is the most comprehensive general under Li Wenhao, the Beiwei Army commanded by Yue Fei. After they broke through the northern border, their troops pointed directly at the Persian Gulf."
"And this last road is also the strongest road. It is led by Li Wenhao himself. There are the Blood Killing Army guarding the West Great Wall, the Shenji Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Five Army Battalion, and the Field Invincible Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Battle Invincible Infantry armor."
"There is also Li Wenhao's pro-army Xiaogui Army, as well as the Jinyiwei, White Horse Camp, Trapped Camp, etc..."
"It seems that Li Wenhao didn't think about testing at all, he just wanted to destroy me, Persia!"
There was a strong anger in Alexander's eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Datang was his father. Although he had done well in the past few years and Persia had developed rapidly, compared with Datang...
To put it simply, Li Wenhao brought out an army of at least 2 million, and the logistical difficulties were simply beyond imagination, but as the emperor, Li Wenhao didn't even worry about it, this is the truth.
If he is asked to send out a 2 million army from Persia to attack Tang, it is not impossible, but I am afraid that the whole of Persia will have to tighten their belts to live, but Datang...
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than evacuating a few strategic reserves. Is it a matter?
For a period of three to five years, Datang was able to fill them up again, and even take advantage of the evacuation period to expand. Do you think it is annoying or not?
"How about the logistics?"
"Returning to Your Majesty, Zhongshu Province and the Military Aircraft Department are jointly supervised, Mr. Fang Xuanling personally deployed, and old general Li Jing led my generals of the older generation of the Tang Dynasty to go out in person, and led the six guards of the twelve guards of the Tang Dynasty. Responsible for the escort, Your Majesty can rest assured."
"Hehe, sure enough, there is an old man in the family. If there is a treasure, I say that these old generals will not be willing to leave the battlefield so soon. Now that they have the opportunity to expand their territory, how can they hold back?"
"By the way, Bai Qi is heading south?"
"Going south, it's just that Bai Qi lacks cavalry under his command..."
Although they are now in Central Asia, the news is also very well-informed, which does not affect Li Wenhao's remote command.
"Give him cavalry if he lacks cavalry."
"Send Huo Qubing, didn't he say that there has been no war in the Western Regions?"
