The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"Let's do it this way. The imperial court has bought all your goods. In addition, we will pay you on time every month. You can be our guide for the time being."

After listening to Chen Liu's words, Cheng Chuliang felt that this person was of great use. After all, he knew the surrounding situation very well and was someone we could trust. If we were to find someone else to be our guide, we would still have some guesses in our hearts. People will definitely not harm us.

"What are you talking about, General? Although I have been in the Western Regions for so long, my parents are still in Gansu and Shaanxi, and the graves of my family's ancestors are still there. If I can contribute to the court, I If you want more money, what do you do? My two sons and I are very familiar with this generation, so feel free to use it, General."

Chen Liu quickly waved his hand. In fact, after the imperial court drove away these people, they could do business with peace of mind. Although there were some thieves in the Western Regions before, under the purge of the Tang Dynasty, these people The number is getting smaller and smaller.

Now that the people from the Arab Empire have come, their business has become more and more difficult. These people are always ready to rob, so after driving them away, the merchants in the Western Regions will of course celebrate with fireworks. Now that they can get this If you work hard, what else do you need money for?

"This is the policy of the imperial court. Don't refuse. Come and take a look. This is our march route. Do you want to see if there are any changes? We are planning to take Shiguocheng in the next few days."

How to attack is marked on the sand table next to it. Of course, it is impossible to tell the people and various ordnance and equipment used in each route. You must be careful with everyone. This is also a basic principle of Cheng Chuliang's life. The people in front of him You can trust it. If you go out drunk and talk nonsense, wouldn't that also expose our military secrets?

According to the strategy of the Tang Dynasty army, they will bypass the mountain peak to the east of Shiguo City and then attack in two directions.

"The general's strategy is very good, but the Arabian Empire's cavalry is very fast. There are also people in my caravan who ride horses very fast. They couldn't outrun me when they were delivering the message. Their horses have been specially trained. , they run extremely fast, and these people don’t know how to shoot arrows on their horses, they ride fast horses and use scimitars to harvest people’s heads.”

When he thought of this scene, Chen Liu shuddered all over. He was the fastest young man in his caravan, just to make them run faster, but in the end he was killed by people from the Arab Empire. Those people Riding on a war horse feels like flying.

"What this brother said is that the last time we fought with them, they almost rushed into our camp. Fortunately, our serial crossbows are quite powerful."

Thinking of the last battle, Li Chengyi and General Mo Lun both nodded. If the troops are divided into two groups this time, they must not extend the front too long. If it is too long, it will be equivalent to giving up. They had a chance.

"Then you mean we attack all the way?"

Cheng Chuliang had originally decided to attack from two sides, but this would spread our strength to attack all the way. Although the defense is strong, there is no way to pursue and intercept, or even pursue, because our speed is not the same as the opponent's speed. On a higher level.

Li Chengyi and General Mo Lun both nodded. They still remember clearly the scene when those black-robed knights attacked last time. If we hadn't been twisted into a rope, we might not have been able to stop them. The combat effectiveness of these guys is definitely very high. Strong, as His Highness said, these people are the powerful enemies of our Datang Empire. At least no one has made us so embarrassed before.

"I heard some things in the city. The countries they conquered were actually not weak in combat effectiveness, but the Arabian Empire's cavalry was just because of their speed. As soon as they saw that they couldn't beat them on the battlefield, they would immediately run away. They would never fight with them. We are entangled and look for opportunities to attack them again, so when we come into contact with them, we try to knock them down at once, otherwise it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future."

Chen Liu suddenly thought of what some people said during the chat. These people originally had their own countries. They came from further west and south, but now they are all occupied by the Arab Empire. He thought of how the Arab Empire fought. , these people were still quite frightened.

This is indeed a headache. When we can beat you, we will rush up. When we can't beat you, we will be ready to run away. So we have to be prepared with both hands. They will definitely not be able to beat us in the first attack. Where will they go? If they want to escape, we have to have someone hold them back.

"Which of the countries in the Western Region has the fastest cavalry?"

All the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were wearing heavy armor. It was simply impossible to expect them to chase the cavalry of the Arab Empire.

"It should be Shule Kingdom."

As soon as General Molun said this, everyone in the tent rolled their eyes. The entire tribe had been killed. Do you think this is of any use? Should we pull them out of the Palace of Hell?

"Next are the people from the Loulan Kingdom. They are also very fast, but there are only 2,000 cavalry from the Loulan Kingdom in our team, and there are more than 500 people who came on camels."

Fighting in the desert, if they were all war horses, they would not be able to hold on at all. They would have to bring a large number of camels. Not only would these camels last longer, but the most important thing is that they could carry more things.

"Go get their general."

Cheng Chuliang was busy arranging the battle, and the Anton Governor's Mansion was still having fun. From His Royal Highness on down, many people did not feel the danger at all. They felt that even if the Tang army came, it would be next year. Things like that, marching in the wilderness, how can it be so fast.

What's more, Chang'an City is so prosperous. In their opinion, the Tang army must be used to enjoying it. If they are expected to fight on the battlefield, then forget it. The reason why they can conquer so much land is purely Because their overall national strength is relatively strong, they are of no use in such a bitter and cold place.

Affected by the above, the soldiers in Shiguo City did not have that much time to patrol the surroundings. They usually only walked around twice. They were more interested in enjoying themselves in the city.

On a night filled with bonfires, singing and dancing, the Tang army arrived fifteen miles away from Shiguo City. (End of chapter)
