The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1361 Artillery bombardment and infantry advance

Although sounding balloons have been used many times and are now indispensable in the army, no general has ever been to the sky, including Li Xiang.

Qu Tushou was extremely interested in this thing, so during the latest investigation, Qu Tushou had himself tied up and then reached an altitude of fifty meters.

Today's weather is pretty good. There is no strong wind around. If there were strong wind, it would be impossible to hold on.

These soldiers who are specifically responsible for investigation did not dare to put Qu Tushou up, but now that he is far away from the camp, he is the supreme commander here. We, the people who are unwilling to do so, have no choice but to put him down slowly. Went up.

When it reached 70 meters, Qu Tushou asked people to continue to lower it up to 120 meters. However, without training, it may not be possible to reach this height directly. For people in modern society, It is said that seventy meters is at most about twenty stories high, and everyone can bear it, but it is different in this era.

In desperation, he could only continue to put the rope up. When he reached seventy-five meters, he could see the Arab army in the distance. From Qu Tushou's position, it looked like they were in the desert. It looks like a black shark, and it keeps squirming.

Qu Tushou saw clearly with a telescope that some of these Arab cavalry were riding horses, but more were riding camels. These people didn't have much on them. Apart from the clothes on their bodies, they didn't have any marching luggage.

This may be the reason why they can travel thousands of miles. They don't carry too many things with them, and they can grab wherever they go, so they don't have logistical pressure. Now that they have arrived in the Western Region, although there are many fewer towns in various places, But it can still satisfy their food and drink needs, at least now it seems they still have something to eat.

After being asked to put him down, Qu Tushou came to his tent. There was also a sand table set up here. This was almost standard equipment for the Tang army. When just staring at the map, there might be many places that were not. So true, but if there is a sandbox, it can give people a newer impact and also allow people to think of more ways.

Now Qu Tushou has strong troops and horses, with more than a hundred artillery pieces, plus more than two hundred crossbows, and enough musketeers under his command. There is no problem in winning this battle, but it should be won. To what extent, this is the most important thing.

The people who fight in the Western Regions are all talented people. Now everyone is looking at Qu Tushou. We have given up this battle to you, but how well you can fight is enough to illustrate your personal ability.

Qu Tushou brought a lieutenant from the capital, this person was Feng Chuyi.

He is already in his fifties. He was originally a lieutenant in his father's hands, but after his father passed away, he became a Huizhou commander.

It can be considered marginalized. When there is no one in the capital, don’t think about being able to rise too high. Others will not give you this opportunity. It is already good to have this position. Later, when he came to the Western Regions, he I remembered the words left by my father. If you want a tiger general on the battlefield, then Feng Chuyi is definitely the best choice.

So after confirming this matter, he took the time to write a letter to General Feng to see what he thought. If he no longer had the ambitions of the past, we could not continue to force him. After all, most people Everyone wants their wife and children to be on the hot bed. We must give them this opportunity. If we don’t give it, it would be too much.

Fortunately, this thing was very good. The old general still wanted to fight hard on the battlefield. If he could earn a title for future generations, he would be very happy, so he immediately took his fifty men. The veteran came and now followed Qu Tushou to the Western Regions.

"Master, no general..."

Old General Feng still called him the same as before. After all, the person in front of him was Qu Tutong's eldest son, and he was also the person to whom he had always been loyal.

"If you have a way, just say that I, Old Feng, am a rough man. I can't think of a way. Your father also knew that he went to the battlefield back then. I will kill you how you tell me. There will never be any delay, but If you ask me to think of a way, I really can't think of a way, my brain is so stupid by nature."

Seeing Qu Tushou staring at the sand table for a long time, this old guy couldn't help it. What kind of solution did he come up with? It's time for you to tell him. If you continue to be silent like this, then you really have to kill him. Dead.

"I thought carefully for a long time, and there is no place for opportunism. First of all, the surrounding area is desert and flat terrain, so we have to surround them, but they must have at least 80,000 or 90,000 people to surround them. It’s so difficult that we can only choose to surround part of it.”

Qu Tushou came to such a conclusion after careful analysis, but it made Old Feng next to him a little unhappy. We finally got this opportunity. If we don't kill all the eighty or ninety thousand people, then we Didn't the task get completed? Will others give you this opportunity again in the future?

Old Feng nodded. Of course he knew that he didn't have much brains and couldn't tell much about combat strategies, but he understood the truth. undefined

Old Feng nodded. Of course he knew that he didn't have much brains and couldn't tell much about combat strategies, but he understood the truth.

"You are right, but the actual situation is much worse than we expected. Look at their total number. I originally thought it was around 70,000 people, but now I estimate it is more than 90,000, and there is a steady stream of people. In the end, there may be as many as 100,000 to 110,000 people. This is much more difficult than we originally thought, so I thought of carrying out the most violent bombardment on them first..."

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and 70% of the battle plans you have made will not be used. This is not an isolated case. After all, the enemy cannot follow your ideas, even if you put everything in place. Give it some thought, and at the point where all it takes is a small change in the enemy, your battle plan can be discarded.

Qu Tushou's battle plan was very simple, that is, to use fierce artillery fire for a while to make them panic first, and then let Lao Feng lead the 15,000 most elite cavalry to rush over from the south side and put them in a panic. Their army is divided into two halves, and we only eat the larger half... (End of Chapter)
