Chapter One Hundred and Fortieth Come Again

When Satuk saw Xi Luchi, he was as excited as if he had seen the true god, but the latter was dissatisfied when he saw Satuk. This dissatisfaction was so strong that Xi Luchi was too lazy to cover up his emotions.

"You didn't know about the invasion of the Tang army in advance. It was not until you were suddenly attacked and the Tang army was at the city that you knew that the war had arrived?" Xi Luchi glanced at Satuk, who was respectful and respectful, and was very annoyed.

Satuk quickly replied: "There are too many great monks in the Tang Dynasty, and the border has been blocked, so our people cannot pass through at all, so that's it."

"I'm not interested in listening to these!" Xi Luchi planned to say Satuk coldly.

He came to attack the Tang Dynasty under the order of the Caliph and made a military order to attack Hexi for three months. Now, he had not arrived at the border of the Tang Dynasty, but the other party had killed the Black Khanate.

But the Black Khanate was still so unreasonable that it did not even defend the capital, which led to the Tang army's advance in, which completely disrupted his existing arrangements and plans.

Xi Luchi stared at Satuk with a bad look: "I ask you, where is the Karakhan army? Seven days ago, Hutuwen asked you to mobilize the army to obey orders, but now."

He pointed to the thousands of defeated soldiers outside the city, "But you tell me, these people are all the soldiers under your command? Are they soldiers? They are beggars!"

Satuk's face suddenly turned red again.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a while, Xi Luchi felt even more dissatisfied, "Don't you want to explain?"

Satuknene said: "The Tang army invaded, had planned in advance, had detailed plans, and had meticulous actions. The Langya Army passed through Bodaling and Dunduo City, captured the city of Baersikhan, and then passed through Heli City to capture Balashaguon. He did not stop on the way, hundreds of miles a day."

He paused and looked at Xi Luchi with some guilt. "The Tiger Guards walked the southern line and almost captured Shule City at the same time as the Wolf-fang Army captured Baersikhan City. Because the Wolf-fang Army was in the middle, the great monks blocked the communication route. We didn't know the news of the fall of Shule City until Balashaguen was conquered."

Xi Luchi said impatiently: "I am asking about your army! Where is your army?"

Satuk lowered his head and felt even more guilty, "The Tiger Guards on the South Line, the Yulin Army attacked too fast. Within seven days, it had already advanced more than a thousand miles westward. The Tang army in each city used some methods to bribe some traitors, and responded to the Tang army when it arrived, so the cities were caught in the sight of the wind."

Xi Luchi was stunned and said unexpectedly: "The Tang army is so fast? The offensive is so sharp?"

Satuk gritted his teeth and said, "According to the escaped monks, every soldier of the Tiger Guards and Yulin Army is a Qi training monk. When they march, they rode a strange van and could travel hundreds of miles a day and be caught off guard by the city."

Xi Luchi had a stiff expression when he heard this, "The Tiger Guards and the 200,000 soldiers of the Yulin Army are all Qi training monks? Are you sure that your people are not talking nonsense and hiding their incompetence because of defeat in the war?"

"It's true. The great monks who escaped from each city all said something, and there is no possibility of communication in advance." Satuk saw Xi Luchi showing a look of surprise and suspicion, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Could it be that the other party was not sure to deal with the Tang army?

Xi Luchi took a deep breath, "In other words, the cities in the northern part of the Karakhan are now captured by the Wolf Tooth Army, and the cities in the southern part have also fallen into the hands of the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army. Do you have no more troops to help the Holy Army fight?"

Satuk was worried, "Yes, although all the cities in the south have not been captured yet, the cities near the north have been occupied by the Tang army. The troops at the south end of the city cannot cross the Tang army to the north at all. Moreover, those cities have not been lost for the time being."

Xi Luchi couldn't help but take a step back.

This action made Satuk suddenly startled.

Xi Luchi widened his eyes: "In other words, not only are your army gone, but the food, fodder and supplies prepared for us before have also fallen into the hands of the Tang army.

, became their military capital?!"

Satuk opened his mouth, his mouth was bitter, and his face wrinkled into a bun, "The military funds prepared for the Holy Army were hoarded in various cities, and now, they have indeed fallen into the hands of the Tang army."

"Satuk! You Karakhan are investing in the enemy!" Xi Luchi shouted with a blushing face and thick neck.

Satuk:"

He had the heart to cry.

How can this be considered an enemy of capital? Those cities and materials were taken away by the Tang army with their abilities, and they were not given away by themselves. What can the soldiers lose their battles? If you came earlier than the Tang army, would such a thing be possible?

Xi Luchi's face turned green with anger. He stared at Satuk for a long time, but couldn't say a word.

Satuk was stared at and was uncomfortable, "Mr. Emil, the Tang army is coming in full force. Can the Holy Army defeat them?"

"The holy army is invincible!" Xi Luchi shouted loudly, speaking righteously and passionately.

Satuk was overjoyed and bent down to salute: "I knew the Holy Army was invincible. Now the Wolf Tooth Army has arrived in Julan City, and it is only more than 200 miles away from us. I also asked Lord Emil to send elite troops to defeat him in one fell swoop!"

After saying that, he looked at the other person with a gaze, following the child who was bullied outside. When he returned home, he wanted his parents to vent his anger.

Xi Luchi's mouth twitched.

Until Satuk was a little surprised, he snorted heavily, turned around, looked outside the city, and said quietly: "The Wolf Tooth Army is naturally going to fight, but there is no need to hurry. The Tang army is in full swing, so we have to find out their details, so how can we attack rashly?"

Satuk said "ah" and was confused.

Xi Luchi pondered for a moment, "No matter what, the situation here does not match our previous expectations. We must report to the Caliph immediately! The army temporarily camped and was ready for battle. We cannot move without any action, waiting for the Caliph's order."

Satuk's eyes became more and more strange.

He felt that Xi Luchi seemed to be afraid.

But he didn't dare to say it.

Xi Luchi thought to himself: "I also have an army composed of pure Qi training monks. If there is only the Wolf Tooth Army, I can naturally attack directly. But there are also the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army in the south, staring at the flanks and in danger of threatening me, so I can't act rashly."

He was soon convinced by himself, "Yes, that's it. The number of Tang army's Qi training cultivators' army exceeded my team. I must act cautiously, and this is definitely not a fear!"

Li Ye stood at the top of the city of Julan City, looking westward.

Julan City is located at a critical location. It is a mountain in the south, and the south is Yaoshe (river) in the north, and the north is the Saiye River. There are oasis at the foot of the mountain, but the scale is not as large as that of Saiye City. It is already autumn and there are often winds and sandstorms.

More than two hundred miles west is Talas City. Li Ye already knew that there were hundreds of thousands of troops gathered there. However, his body was not his real body, so he could not get up in the air. He went to Talas to take a look.

Shangguan Qingcheng came to him, looked at the West, and slowly said: "When Anxi Protectorate opened up the territory here, Gao Xianzhi encountered the Great Cannibal advance eastward, and then the Battle of Talas. Now we are conquering the Qihe Basin, and now we are progressing smoothly. We have also met the Great Cannibal here. Every drink and peck, is it a heavenly decisive?"

Li Ye looked at her strangely. These words didn't seem to be what Shangguan Qingcheng said. She always kept asking nothing and moving forward.

"In the early days of this dynasty, the people were at peace with the inner people and expanded their territory. After defeating the Turks, they went westward. The small states in the Western Regions either surrendered to our dynasty or were destroyed by our royal army, and the country's power was prospered. At the same time, the Crescent Cult rose, and the Great Food grew stronger than the West, and also captured thousands of miles of territory. The two were one east and one west, and they were the strongest country in the world at that time."

Li Ye's voice was quiet and he paused slightly when he spoke.

Dashi conquered the entire North Africa in southern Mediterranean and passed through Zhibu

The Strait of Radar captured Spain and entered Europe.

Towards east, Dashi attacked the Qihe Basin and western India. At that time, Dashi Oriental Commander Hajaji told his two generals that whoever set foot on Chinese territory first would let them be the governor of China.

A truly powerful country always has the idea of ​​conquering the world.

Muhammad once said that even though knowledge is far away in China, we should seek it.

When the Great Cannibals were in contact with the Gentiles, they claimed that they had always been the "Great Qin". In their eyes, the Great Qin was the world. Even in the Zhao and Song dynasties, they believed that the territory of the Great Qin was full of Song and Liao.

The Dashi, which expanded eastward and the Datang, which expanded westward, naturally encountered the Qihe River Basin.

Before the Mongolians showed their power, the Great Food and the Tang Dynasty were the biggest overlords that appeared in the world.

The Mongols conquered the territory that was originally Dashi by relying on their war horses and also attacked Vienna, the hinterland of Europe.

Li Ye continued to talk about the past of the Battle of Talas. "Since Gao Xianzhi led 10,000 infantry and cavalry to raid for a long distance, he captured the dangerous terrain in half a day. Lianyun Castle, which was guarded by more than 10,000 Tubo people, defeated 10,000 Tubo troops in Sole City, and took advantage of the situation to capture the Xiaobolu Kingdom, his reputation in the Western Regions reached its peak.

"Before the Battle of Talas, Gao Xianzhi had just destroyed the Shi Kingdom in the Yaoshui River Basin, and also robbed the daughter of the king of the king, Jinsikaiya, as his concubine. The escaped Shi Prince ran westward and arrived at Talas City, asking for help from Dashi.

"When Gao Xianzhi learned that Dashi gathered heavy troops in Talas and was preparing to advance eastward, he had to take the initiative to attack with his military experience and the Tang army's fighting spirit. Therefore, in the tenth year of Tianbao, Gao Xianzhi led 20,000 infantry and cavalrymen, and 10,000 Gelu's tribal army to attack the city of Talas, where more than 100,000 people were stationed.

"For Gao Xianzhi, the brave Tubo soldiers could not stop his Modao formation with a population of 100,000. The terrain of Lianyun Castle was conquered by him in half a day. How could he be afraid of mere black clothes? Sending 20,000 troops and bringing 10,000 servants was already very proud of Talas, and it was no problem to conquer the city.

"For five days of fighting between the two armies, the Modao formation led by Li Siye, the general of Gao Xianzhi, made the Great Pirates suffer heavy casualties and could not cope with it. Although the army did not completely defeat the Great Pirates army in five days, victory was already in sight. If Ge Luolu had not rebelled and attacked the Great Pirates on both sides, how could Gao Xianzhi be defeated?"

When Shangguan Qingcheng heard this, he said coldly: "The king's army should not use the minion army!"

Li Ye nodded and agreed with this sentence.

Although Gao Xianzhi was attacked from both sides and defeated Talas, under such circumstances, he could still withdraw from the battlefield with thousands of troops and return to the Anxi Protectorate. It is conceivable that the Tang army was so powerful that the army was in great danger and the Dashi army suffered heavy casualties.

If it weren't for being unable to pursue and dare not pursue, and the cannibalism would have Geluo let Gao Xianzhi take thousands of people back? On the battlefield, there is no reason to be kind to the enemy. Isn't it unreasonable to wipe out the opponent?

The Dashi Army, which was assembled in Talas City at that time, was also an elite army that had been through war and was also the main force.

After this battle, the cannibals no longer dared to confront the Tang army head-on and dared not mention the word "East Advance". The so-called capture of China has become a joke. Although they won, they were no different from the losers, and in the following years they continued to send envoys to pay tribute.

Although the Tang army was defeated by Talas, the Anxi Protectorate recovered its vitality two years later and continued their journey of expanding territory to the west.

Unfortunately, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ruined the Tang Dynasty. During the Kaiyuan period, land annexation was serious, resulting in the displacement of a large number of people in the Tang Dynasty and becoming refugees. The national strength was lost and the people's hearts were in turmoil. In the end, An Lushan, the beard, disrupted the country.

If not, the army of Anxi Protectorate would have attacked the westward Dashi, which would have been a shame to Talas.

"The past is gone, there is no need to think too much."
