Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3327: The Drums of War Are Thundering
The Arabs came aggressively, with a large number of elite soldiers. Their strength was almost ten times that of the Anxi Army. , step by step, but in essence, except for the battle of Suiye City, there are few huge results.

In this kind of battle, the enemy invested so many troops, if there were not a few victories in which tens of thousands were killed, how could they win the final victory?

But relying on the current strength of the Anxi Army, it is really difficult to do this.

After all, the enemy's military strength is too great. Even if the Anxi Army can set up a trap in a certain place and set up an ambush, the enemy can save it in time after stepping into the trap. to avoid losses.

And if the Anxi army is not careful, it will be a disaster...

This battle will be difficult to fight.

Fortunately, Fang Jun wiped out the elite Turkic and Arab elites in a fierce battle in Alagou, eliminating all hidden dangers on the front thousands of miles east from Gongyue City. The letter of plea for help has also led the right Tunwei to come day and night.

This gave Xue Rengui some confidence.

After all, he has participated in the whole process since the reform of Youtunwei, and single-handedly brought this army formed almost entirely by the "recruitment system" to a temporary new height. It can be regarded as a real army mainly based on firearms. The two battles of Alagou and Alagou have already confirmed the correctness of Fang Jun's idea of ​​​​building an army, and also confirmed the powerful and unparalleled combat effectiveness of Youtunwei.

……

The rumble of war drums interrupted Xue Rengui's meditation.

"Sima!"

Yuan Wei, who had already become a captain, strode in from the door and shouted, "The Arabs are attacking again!"

"Ok?"

Xue Rengui was a little surprised, looked up at the sky outside, and asked, "What time is it?"

Yuan Wei said, "It's almost the time of application."

Xue Rengui turned his attention to the map on the wall: "How many people are the enemy attacking, and in which direction is the main attack?"

Yuan Wei replied: "The enemy army dispatched about [-] troops, with [-] troops in the back to attack the south city and the east city before a stick of incense. It seems that the formation of troops should be dominated by the south city. .”

Xue Rengui frowned, stared at the map carefully for a while, thought for a while, and asked, "Is there any news about Youtunwei?"

Since Youtunwei left Baishui Town and headed westward, the scouts from both sides sent news every two or three hours, and the connection was very close. The battle on Gongyue City could be sent to Youtunwei in time, so that Fang Jun give an order.

Although Fang Jun was not the general guard of Anxi, but since Li Xiaogong left Gongyue City and Fang Jun led the Right Guards to help him, he has taken over the supreme command of the Western Regions for granted. Already default.

After all, factors such as identity, seniority, status, power, military exploits, etc. were gathered together. Apart from Li Xiaogong, there was no one in the entire Western Regions who could check and balance Fang Jun.

But Li Xiaogong trusted Fang Jun so much that he was willing to hand over the commanding power...

Yuan Wei said: "One hour ago, the scouts from the Right Tunwei arrived and sent news that the You Tunwei had rushed to help along the gentle area between the south side of the Ili River and the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountain, and will arrive at Gongyue around noon tomorrow. city."

Xue Rengui nodded.

Although this Yuan Wei is a disciple of Guanlong, he is a little unclear and has deep entanglements. He can use it but has to guard against it, but his ability is indeed outstanding. The business is also well organized and can be reused.

Xue Rengui didn't worry too much, and ordered: "Order all the ministries to stick to the city and not go out to fight. The enemy probably got the news that the cavalry sent to Baishui Town to ambush the right guards were wiped out, so they fought hard and tried to attack the right guards. Before the guards rushed to help, they made achievements."

Yuan Wei was taken aback: "How could they get the news so quickly?"

In the Battle of Alagou, the Arab cavalry who had been sneaking for hundreds of miles were wiped out by the right guards. The entire army was wiped out and no one escaped. Now that Gongyue City has just received the report of the Alagou battle, how can the Arab cavalry who have been wiped out send the news? Send it back to Ye Zide?

If that is the case, there is only one answer...

Seeing that Xue Rengui remained silent, Yuan Wei swallowed hard, and explained: "The general has never set foot in the barracks since he learned the news of the great victory at Alagou, and he definitely did not leak it..."

Xue Rengui waved his hand and said, "How could I have doubted you? This matter was originally planned by the Guanlongmen faction. In the end, it fell short and was defeated. The person in charge of contacting the Arabs will naturally pass the news to Ye Qide. side, no surprise."

He looked indifferent, as if he took it for granted, but in fact he was very annoyed.

Not long after I received the news of the victory at Alagou, the Arabs got the letter. From this, it can be seen that the Guanlongmen faction in every corner of the Western Region is already rotten. They had to face the anger of Fang Jun and even the court, but these people still ignored them and never severed their ties with the Arabs.

"The thought of family and country" is nothing in the eyes of these people, and it is not even as real as a piece of silver cake or three taels of gold.

Such self-interested forces dominate the court, and one can imagine what kind of policies they will implement. If Guan Long is allowed to control the central power, it may not take long for all parts of the world to form their own systems, with military and political power completely in their hands. Then it fought against the central government.

The end of the warlords everywhere is weak and strong branches, the imperial power collapses, the world is about to be shaken, and the flames of war are about to rise...

"Let's go, let's go to the top of the city to have a look."

Although he believed that the Arabs were just trying to let go of a gamble before the right guards rushed to help, Xue Rengui did not dare to be careless. After all, the strength of the enemy and us was very different. way of death.

When you are on the battlefield, you should not have the concept of "inevitability" at any time, because the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there are too many variables. If you are not careful, a small mistake may lead to the failure of a war...

Under the service of his own soldiers, Xue Rengui put on his armor and put a pocket on his head. His body was bright and his armor was bright and his tiles were bright, majestic and majestic. As he walked, his armor leaves clanged and he was full of murderous aura.

Bringing Yuan Wei and a group of personal soldiers out of the government office, the ears were already filled with earth-shattering shouts of killing.

The radius of Gongyue City is only a few miles, and tens of thousands of people launched a fierce attack under the city wall. Even if you are in the city, you can feel the terrifying momentum.

There was a lot of snow, and there was a thick layer on the ground, and the boots creaked when they stepped on it. The north wind swept the snowflakes and hit them head-on.

The defenders in the city trotted to transport ordnance to the top of the city, and transported the wounded from the top of the city to the temporary medical hall to receive treatment from the army doctor.Since Fang Jun went to the Western Regions for the first time, he improved the treatment method in the army, and that new method has been implemented in all armies, and has been continuously improved. The number of losses is getting lower and lower, enabling the army to maintain extremely high combat effectiveness in a difficult combat environment.

Hearing the roar of thunder and thunder from time to time, Xue Rengui, who hurried to the city wall, couldn't help but feel emotional: It seems that Fang Jun's influence has already penetrated into every aspect of the current Datang Army.Especially in a few years, when the first batch of officers from Zhenguan Academy's "Lecture Hall" graduates, the army will be full of mid-level officers who have been taught by Zhenguan Academy, Fang Jun's influence will be even higher...

If you add colored glaze, gunpowder, firearms, navy... perhaps the entire Tang Dynasty has been influenced by Fang Jun, and various changes have taken place at the same time.

In terms of influence alone, Fang Jun can be called "No.1 in the world"...

Approaching the city wall, the shouts of killing became more and more deafening.

After stepping on the city wall, Xue Rengui took a shield from one of his own soldiers, and personally went to the arrow stack to poke his head out to investigate the situation below the city. He saw countless Arab soldiers coming like a tide under the gray twilight. .

Looking down at the surging Arab army through the snowflakes flying all over the sky, it actually makes people feel a little dizzy...

And not far away, three Arab phalanxes were waiting in formation, one round shield formed a solid wall, the square array was full of murderous aura, and a bright spear pointed obliquely at the sky, with awe-inspiring fighting spirit .

"Sima!"

A personal soldier ran up from the bottom of the city, came shortly behind Xue Rengui, and said loudly: "The Duke of Yue has orders to arrive!"
