The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty
Chapter 1544: Divide and Attack
In this era, whether it is the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty or other places in Central Asia, the climate is basically good, but the popularity is not very good. Therefore, if we want to fight against the people of the Arab Empire, gathering together is the stupidest way to fight. It is the most correct to disperse.
Take the Arab light cavalry as an example. If the two sides gather together for a decisive battle, we cannot make any mistakes. Once the other side rushes over, it will be a dead dream for our entire army. Although we have muskets and artillery, we may not be able to retreat unscathed.
The two empires also fought last time, but from various analysis, the Arab Empire troops led by His Royal Highness the Prince at that time should mostly belong to the second-line army, and the real elite first-line troops are all on the battlefield further west, which is now the European part.
This time the intelligence has been ascertained. General Sukhguman is leading all the elite troops, who have all retreated from the European battlefield. They have defeated the heavy cavalry in Europe and their combat effectiveness is incomparable. Therefore, Li Xiang has no confidence in defeating them all at once. It may be a better way to disperse our army.
Cheng Chuliang and Su Dingfang were not idle either. They also wanted to lead an army out alone, but Li Xiang could not be alone, so the two of them could only be patient and stay by Li Xiang's side.
"Cheng Chuliang, Su Dingfang."
When Li Xiang called out their names, they were also a little surprised. Aren't there already two vanguards? Do we have to go out? If we are allowed to go out, how should His Highness be arranged? There are only four generals who can lead the team independently this time.
"You two each bring 20,000 elite soldiers, and another 10,000 logistics personnel, follow closely behind the other two to provide support."
They actually asked the two of them to lead the troops, just to prevent the two in front from being surrounded. But if that were the case, who would lead the troops near the camp?
Moreover, the four of them each brought 20,000 people, and 80,000 elite soldiers were deployed. How many elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did Li Xiang bring in total?
"What are you two looking at? Can I no longer lead the troops after I leave you? When I attacked Tuyuhun, I also led an army in person. Is there anything I can't control on this battlefield?"
After Li Xiang finished speaking, the two smiled awkwardly. What Li Xiang said was also true. In terms of leading ability, Li Xiang had no problem compared to these major generals. If it came to military merit, Li Xiang was not much worse than them. It was just because of his status that he did not lead the troops alone later, but his ability was not bad at all.
What's more, there are four armies in front of Li Xiang. If there are still Arab troops that can infiltrate, it's purely because of our incompetence. There are a total of 100,000 troops, and the Arab army killed His Highness in front of us. We don't have to go back to Chang'an. We can just kill them there, so as not to be embarrassed after returning.
Su Dingfang looked at the 3,000 elite soldiers under Li Xiang. These people are the most powerful in the entire Tang Dynasty. If they want to break through their encirclement, even if they use other Tang troops, they will have to be ten times stronger, not to mention the army of the Arab Empire.
"Tiger, after we leave, His Highness's safety will depend on you."
Hu Yi is the commander of this army, but Su Dingfang is used to calling him Tiger.
"When you don't leave, His Highness's safety will not depend on me?"
Tiger rolled his eyes directly. This guy was exchanged by Li Xiang from the system, and his force value is also very high, so when talking to others, he has never been very respectful.
Su Dingfang once had a one-on-one competition with this guy. No one knows the result of the competition, but one thing everyone can see clearly is that every time Tiger speaks in this tone, Su Dingfang has no disgust at all.
People who are familiar with Su Dingfang know that this guy convinces people with his ability. If you have enough ability, then what you say counts, but if you don’t have enough ability, then you have to be honest and follow the rules, otherwise General Su will also make things worse for you.
"Your Highness, if the war really breaks out, some people in the army are not trustworthy. Even though they are willing to live and die for us now, if there is a problem on the battlefield, they will definitely be the first to defect."
Cheng Chuliang thought of the unreliable troops in the team. These people should be allowed to go to the front line, but if they are really released, who knows what they will do, especially the armies of the Western Regions, they are also the most untrustworthy.
Although when these people were selected, they were all those with families, but then again, these people had the same beliefs as the Arab Empire and had been lackeys for the Arab Empire before. If something went wrong on the battlefield, they would have to be ruthless.
"Don't worry, I have already ambushed them around. If they obey orders honestly, they will also have the credit after the victory. If they show any other behavior, I don't mind taking their lives first."
Li Xiang said very calmly. At this time, Cheng Chuliang and Su Dingfang remembered that our prince was decisive in killing. The number of people he killed was not as high as that of the two of us combined. Otherwise, how could there be the current Tang Empire? It was redundant to say this, and there was no need to remind him at all.
The two of them immediately went down to reorganize the team. Li Xiang also came to the front of the sand table. Although he had always mastered the direction of the Arab Empire's army, because after entering the desert, the reconnaissance ability had declined, and some troops might not be found. We must be more cautious.
According to Li Xiang's original idea, he would first digest the Central Asian region, and then slowly fight a decisive battle with the Arab Empire. Unfortunately, the other party did not give him any chance. Perhaps it was because the victory of the Western War gave them great confidence, so there was the second war between the Tang Dynasty and Arabia.
"Your Highness, the generals are too concerned about your safety."
Seeing the backs of the two generals who were not very reassured, Zhang Jiuli also explained for them that it was not that the two generals had become fussy, but that the status of the prince was different now.
Li Xiang used to be the third most important person in the Tang Dynasty. Although he is still the third most important person now, he can make some decisions for the emperor...
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the vice emperor of the Tang Dynasty... (End of this chapter)
