The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Cai Xudong is a small leader of the Tang army. He has about 20 people under his command. They are under the command of General Li Chengyi. The pre-war mobilization has been mentioned, but after walking under the scorching sun for six days, the morale of the brothers is inevitably affected.

There are brothers who came from Hebei. It is cooler there. The temperature here is around 30 degrees every day, and it becomes cold at night. It is not easy to persist.

In addition to the logistics on their horseback, the rest is probably personal willpower. If personal willpower is not strong enough, no matter how awesome the things you carry are, you may not be able to get through.

Li Chengyi divided his army into two groups. One group of troops rode camels and they had to cross the desert. If they relied on war horses to cross the desert, it would be impossible. The other army walked on the edge of the desert, but this side was also the Gobi Desert, and there was no good road.

"Sir, we have arrived at the place to launch the weather balloon."

The scouts in the team looked at the sun. According to their speed, it should be time. The regulations stipulate that the weather balloon must be launched every twenty miles. If it is a sunny day, just lead the balloon forward, but the wind is a little strong today.

"Hang the flag, be on guard."

Release the balloon every twenty miles, this is also a death order. Although it is a little troublesome, it can guarantee the safety of the army. If you want to save trouble, then you want to save trouble for your safety.

A thin soldier was tied up, and then the intact balloon was taken out from the huge carriage behind, carrying the soldier slowly into the sky.

When it reached a certain height, this guy took out the barreled telescope and conducted reconnaissance in front and on both sides. He would not have reconnaissance behind him, but the surrounding area was too desolate. What if we went the wrong way and the enemy ran behind us? We had to find a way to reconnaissance behind us.

After a few breaths, the black-clad master cavalry was not found around, so the soldiers above waved the flags in their hands, and Cai Xudong and his people below also saw it. They were ready to collect the people in the sky and continue to move forward 20 miles.

"Wait, Xiao Si has something to say..."

Cai Xudong felt that the rope in his hand was wrong. It turned out that Xiao Si in the sky was shaking the rope vigorously, which meant that he had discovered something fatal. Cai Xudong immediately called the flag signal soldier to his side. The airflow in the sky was too strong. If you rely on your throat, even if you shout your throat, I am afraid you won’t know what he said.

"Black-clad camel soldiers were spotted 20 miles to the left."

The flag signalman already knew what Xiao Si in the sky said, and translated it word for word.

"The number is about 1,000, and it is still increasing. Request to raise the flag."

After hearing Xiao Si's words, Cai Xudong observed the wind direction around him and found that he could still raise the flag by 5 meters. You know, at his position, if he continued to raise the flag by 5 meters, he could observe at least a few thousand meters more.

"Notify the whole army to prepare for war."

If there were only more than 1,000 people, Xiao Si would not have issued such a warning. This means that after raising the flag, too many enemies were found. I didn't expect that we had met the main force of the enemy not long after leaving the headquarters.

Cai Xudong immediately began to wave the main flag. Some officials behind him also saw it and immediately ordered their soldiers to form a defensive state. The artillery and musket team also took their positions immediately. A special person immediately notified Li Chengyi.

The main flag has been used, which means that many enemies have been found.

Li Chengyi is writing a memorial to Li Xiang at this moment, writing down what he has seen and heard in the past few days.

Because of the desolate land, there are indeed not many people in Yantu. Except for some sheltered places, there are no gathering places in other places. It is even more desolate than the Central Asian region we occupied.

There is another sentence that this guy did not dare to write, that is, these broken places are not wanted for free, but Li Xiang knows how valuable these places are. You can not want them now, but if you go to modern society, you will not exchange this place for anything. There will be black gold with a shovel.

"Report to the general, the enemy is found."

The voice came from far and near. Li Chengyi calmly wrote a few words, then handed the memorial to Li Xiang, then stepped on his sword, and went out to meet people.

"I have felt that the first shot must be fired by our people. Notify the reconnaissance scouts to immediately conduct reconnaissance on the people in front, and other troops are ready for battle."

After listening to Cai Xudong's report, Li Chengyi immediately ordered his men to attack. Isn't this the moment we are waiting for? Although we don't know how many enemies there are, but then again, we can handle any number of them. When there were only a few thousand people before, Li Chengyi was not afraid. Now there are 20,000 troops, what should we be afraid of?

If you need people, you have guns. If you have guns, you have cannons. On the battlefield in southern Central Asia, Li Chengyi is not afraid of anyone.

According to the current map, we should be in Afghanistan, and there are many nomadic peoples living around.

When they heard that this army was coming to attack the Arab Empire, some people immediately resisted, but some people were very happy. The taxes imposed on them by the Arab Empire were too high. Although they all had the same faith, they also wanted to overthrow the rule of the Arab Empire. In their eyes, the caliph there was too greedy and wanted to take away all their living supplies.

"We have been discovered."

It is almost impossible to hide all the troops of more than 10,000. After our scouts set out for a while, the people of the Arab Empire also discovered us. They began to change their formation, and the army behind them also began to speed up.

Li Chengyi has also sent a signal to the army next to him, asking them to quickly move forward.

However, judging from the current situation, it should not be used. If it were the army of other countries, it would take a stable time to discover each other, but the Arab army is different. As long as they discover the enemy, it will take at most half an hour, and their attack will probably come over, without any delay. (End of this chapter)
