The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1587 The Suffering of the Desert

Cheng Chuliang, who was wandering on the front line, also received the news from Li Xiang and immediately led his people back. In the past few months, he and his people had suffered enough. They didn't know how. spent.

For people like them, I am afraid they never want to hear anything related to sand in their lives. During this period of time, when they wake up every day, they are covered with piles of sand, even in their nostrils and ear holes. They can also produce a lot of sand. They have suffered enough from fighting in such a place.

Many people now have the idea that when they return to the oasis of Anxi Governor's Palace, they must take a good bath. If they don't soak for a day, they will never be able to get out of it.

Of course, there are benefits in such weather. For example, our various types of gunpowder are not in any danger of moisture. Some people used to say that there would be one or two rains a year, but now there is no rain at all. I saw that some local people also said that it was clear that there were dark clouds in the sky and it was going to rain soon, but the rain might have been wiped out before it fell to the ground.

"Don't be so gloomy. His Highness's order has come. We will have five thousand companions soon. With the support of these people, our scope of activities will be much larger than it is now. In our current area Within, all the cities have become refugee cities, without any oil or water, but if we continue to go south, we will definitely find their cities, and then you will have a chance to work. "

Seeing that the morale of his men was a bit low, Cheng Chuliang had to stand up and boost their morale. He had to let these people know that there was hope. If in the next period of time, they were still running around on the edge of the desert , I’m afraid some people won’t be able to hold on.

In fact, it’s not that these soldiers are not good enough. If soldiers from other countries were replaced, they would probably not be as good as the people in front of them. It is already quite difficult to have the morale they have now. If anyone is not convinced If so, let you stay at the edge of the desert for a few months to see if you can stand it?

Sure enough, it was similar to what Cheng Chuliang thought. When these people heard his words, many people's eyes immediately lit up. This can be said to be a very exciting thing. The light was wandering on the edge of the desert, except for the refugees. There are no other people, and there is no benefit at all from gaining military merit. On the contrary, it makes oneself very tired.

In fact, they have long wanted to go to the hinterland of the Arab Empire, but because they are not strong enough, and they have not obtained sufficient supplies, there is no one from the rear to respond. If something beyond their control happens, their army may be at risk at any time. It will be destroyed, so even if some people have ideas, they dare not say it. After all, in such a situation, stability is the most important thing.

After Cheng Chuliang finished speaking, many soldiers knew what they should do. They were lazy before and knew that there was no danger around them. Except for the refugees who were about to starve to death, they really didn't know where the enemy was. Although there were also refugees attacking Their barracks, but after a round of fire from the musketeers, these people ran away to nowhere. If there are too many refugees, at worst everyone can just leave. Anyway, refugees walk on two feet. We only have camels and horses, so they are no match for us at all.

Now these people are full of energy and seize the time to check their weapons and equipment. When the rear support troops arrive, we will be able to gather 10,000 troops immediately. Originally, according to their ideas, the 10,000 troops should be inside the Arab Empire. It won't accomplish much.

But Li Chengyi's battle inspired them. Don't they only have 20,000 troops? Twenty thousand troops can kill the Arab Empire's 100,000 troops. If converted according to this ratio, we can also kill 50,000 troops with 10,000 troops. Taking the current Arab Empire as an example, these 50,000 people are not a small number. Okay, I don’t know how many cities it would take to get it together.

Under the endless calls of the soldiers, the rear support troops finally arrived. According to the information provided by Cheng Chuliang, Changsun Ze also spent a lot of effort to find their hiding place.

"Brother Cheng, this place you are looking for is really amazing. It is a mountain col. No matter how fierce the wind and sand are around here, you can still have a good rest in this place. Except for the fact that there is more sand in the morning, it seems that No harm done.”

When Chang Sunze brought his men over, he also admired Cheng Chuliang greatly. Being able to find such a place on the edge of the desert would at least save his men from the sandstorm.

"This is useless. Look at the faces of these young men. They are almost depressed. When did our Tang army have such faces? They have food and drink, but they just don't have any energy. I stay here every day, not daring to go anywhere. If I continue like this, I may not be able to bring back many people when I go back."

Cheng Chuliang sighed helplessly. What he said was true. Brothers are not afraid of hardship. What they are most afraid of is this kind of squandering the will to fight. It has only been a few days, but it is not the same as before. Fortunately, Li Xiang After temporarily changing the strategy so that they can continue to advance south, these people finally have peace of mind. Otherwise, if they continue to be depressed every day, by the time we change the battle plan, there will always be a few people who can't stand up.

"It's really like this. Your Highness must have taken this into consideration. In addition, I also brought information about the Imperial City Si Yamen. They were supposed to send it to you directly, but they couldn't find you halfway, so they sent it to you." As for the Governor's Mansion, it's only three hundred miles away. There are troops from the Arab Empire in the city over there. What should we do? That's what you said to Brother Cheng. "

When Changsun Ze said this, he felt relieved. He also wanted to lead people to attack the city and seize the land. The previous few times were all field battles. This time we have strengthened the artillery. Even if the enemy defends the city wall, we still have enough The way to deal with them is that they are really afraid of you leaving the city wall and running around. It would be best if you are willing to get into the cage. (End of chapter)
