Li Ye did not rush to ask the Wolf Tooth Army to quickly attack Talas City, but ordered them to station in Julan City. He was waiting, waiting for the southern Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army to completely wipe out the city of the Black Khanate, and also waiting for the follow-up army to follow up.

Just like Dashi didn't know the real combat power of the Tang army in advance, Li Ye still doesn't know how many cultivators there are in Dashi. However, at this moment, the power of the Crescent Sect is definitely larger than more than a hundred years ago.

Let’s not talk about anything else, the Caliph’s Guards are definitely the strong enemy of the Chang’an Imperial Army, and they cannot be underestimated.

In addition, the purpose of this western expedition of the Tang army was not to seize the Qihe River Basin, but to expedition to Dashi and complete Li Ye's grand blueprint for unifying the cultivation world. In this way, the army would not have the reason to advance lightly, and it would have to wait until the subsequent military strength caught up.

The Black Khanate was roughly captured, occupied the main territory of the Qihe River Basin, and destroyed the combat power of the Black Khanate army. This was the target of the Langya Army, the Tiger Guard Army, and the Yulin Army's sudden attack, and it was also the first stage of the Tang army's conquest.

Now that the mission has been successfully completed, Li Ye will wait for the Lingnan fleet to take its seat and cooperate with the army to launch the second phase of the offensive.

Of course, this time will not be too long, and it will be almost the same for ten days and half a month.

"Talas, I will eventually prove in front of you who is the most powerful army in this world!" Li Ye looked at the West and murmured to himself.

......

Xi Luchi, who was stationed in Talas, breathed a sigh of relief after discovering that the Wolf Tooth Army was staying in Julan City and showed no sign of rapid attack.

He was not afraid of the Wolf Fang Army, mainly the Tiger Guard Army in the south. The Yulin Army was also aggressive and threatened his flanks at all times. As an excellent general, he really didn't want to fight a war that he was unsure of.

"If I only had to fight with the Wolf Fang Army, I would naturally not be afraid. The Wolf Fang Army is known as the number one elite in the Tang Dynasty, and Shangguan Qingcheng is the first general of the Tang Dynasty. I would have wanted to fight with them for a long time."

Xi Luchi said to Satuk, "The war between Karakhan has been divided into two lines of north and south. I have sufficient troops here and gathered elite troops of the standing army. As long as there are some people to restrain the Tiger Guards on the southern line, the Yulin Army will be restrained. With a caliph's order, I can counterattack Julan City and take back Balashaguen for you!"

Satuk asked in confusion: "Since Lord Emil is sufficient here, why don't you divide your troops to go to the southern line?"

Xi Luchi glanced at the other party without answering.

Of course, this is because the army of pure Qi training cultivators under his command is insufficient in number and they are sure to gather together. If they compete with the Wolf Tooth Army, if they divide their troops, they will be in a short position and there is no chance of winning in both lines.

He had reported the situation here to Mullen, but five or six days have passed, and there is still no news. At the speed of the high-level priest, two days and nights are enough to go back and forth between Talas and Baghdad. Why is the Caliph not giving instructions now?

Xi Luchi was anxious, but he could not show it on his face, let alone tell Satuk, so he could only do it.

"The situation is urgent, and the Tang army may not attack when they will attack. They are not moving at this time, and they are waiting for the subsequent troops to arrive. Once the attack is launched, it will inevitably be a thunderous momentum. At that time, the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army should also resolve the war in the south. If they go north to cooperate with the Wolf-fang Army, how can I resist?"

Thinking of this, Xi Luchi was even more worried.

After sending Satuk out, he returned to the house and couldn't help but pace back and forth.

What exactly did the Caliph think? The battle situation on the front line changes rapidly. He was delaying for a few days later, which would have a huge impact. When the situation becomes uncontrollable, everything will be over!

Just as Xi Luchi wanted to send someone back, I'll report it in detail

When the situation in the Black Khanate made the Caliph make a decision early, Hu Tuwen hurried in with an excited look on his face, "Sir Emil, the Caliph is here!"

"What? The Caliph came in person?"

"yes!"

Xi Luchi was extremely surprised when he heard this. He was still worried about the battle situation in the Black Khanate just now, and wondered why the Caliph, who had always been wise and powerful, had not responded to his news for so long. It turned out that the Caliph had actually come in person!

"Xi Luchi, my old friend, I haven't seen you for many days, are you okay?"

Malen came in with a smile, spread his arms from a distance, greeted Xi Luchi with a kind attitude. This scene did not look like a meeting between the king and the minister, but rather a reunion of old friends.

Xi Luchi hurriedly saluted, and the other party could show an approachable appearance, but he had to abide by his ministers' integrity.

When both sides sat down in the room, Xi Luchi asked respectfully, "Califah, why did you come to Talas in person?"

The king in the rear suddenly arrived at the front line, and the generals led the troops were inevitably worried, but Xi Luchi had not fought with the Tang army yet, so he was not at all wrong. At this time, he naturally didn't worry about Malen having any other thoughts, but he just felt strange.

"I not only came by myself, but also brought the Guards." Malen picked up the wine glass and greeted Xi Luchi, looking confident and calm.

"The Guards are here too? That's great!" Xi Luchi's eyes lit up. This was the situation he wanted to see the most. Mallen's Guards are all composed of monks above the Qi training stage, and their combat power is unparalleled.

But he felt puzzled, "But the Caliph, I'm sending the news back, and it's only six days since then, the Guards are here so soon?" Even with the Guards' journey, it's impossible for them to come here so quickly.

Malun drank wine, touched the beard on his mouth, and looked very comfortable. He smiled and said, "Xi Luchi, are you still not clear that the true god knows everything? Let me tell you the truth, when the Wolf Tooth Army attacked Dunduo City and the Tiger Guard Army attacked Shule City, the true god had already conveyed the war situation there to me.

"At that time, I realized that the Tang army was much stronger than we had expected. The Wolf Tooth Army and the Tiger Guard were definitely not something that ordinary elite troops in the reserve army could defeat, so I ordered the Guards to gather and set off early."

Upon hearing this, Xi Luchi suddenly realized.

Wherever there are monks and believers of the Crescent Cultivation, there is the will of the True God.

The Tang army attacked Dunduo City and Shule City. Although it was an unexpected sudden attack, the Black Khanate was completely unprepared. Even Balashaguen didn't know the news of the fall of Shule City, how could he hide it from the true god?

However, at that time, the Wolf Tooth Army and the Tiger Guard attacked like fire, and it stretched for hundreds of miles in an instant. Even if the True God informed Orguchak and Satuk, they could not deal with it with the power of the Black Khanate.

Moreover, whether it was Baersikhan, Balashaguen, or other cities, they were all ready for war early, and the city defense was tight. Before the Tang army came to the city, the four gates were closed and ready to fight.

In this case, even if the true god "appears" and they can't do anything they say to them. After all, even if they can't stand the city and defend the Tang army for a few hours, other solutions cannot be mentioned.

"Although the Karakhans were defeated, as long as the Caliph and the Guards arrived, the next war would not be a problem!"

Xi Luchi said sincerely that he now has the backbone, so he is naturally full of confidence. "I don't know when the Guards will arrive in Talas. I'll arrange for the army to cooperate and attack Julan City at the right time!"

Mallen glanced at him and said casually: "The Guards will not come to Talas."

Xi Luchi said in surprise: "Why don't you come to Talas?"

"At least I won't come for the time being."

Lun showed a childish smug smile, and was very satisfied with Xi Luchi's reaction, "How is it, didn't expect it? You can't even think of it, and Tang Jun naturally wouldn't have thought of it."

Xi Luchi's thoughts changed rapidly, "Did the Guards go to the Tuhuoluo?"

Malen nodded and said slowly: "When I learned that the Langya Army had arrived in Julan City, I knew that the Tang army was going to focus on talas. In that war more than a hundred years ago, the Tang army was defeated due to Geluo's rebellion, and suffered more than 10,000 generals, and endured a crushing defeat that had never been seen in this land.

"With Li Ye's ambition to restore the Tang Dynasty and recreate the prosperous era, he must be resentful of this matter. He wanted to find the scene and win a great battle in Talas to clear the reputation of the Tang army soldiers who had died in battle. Therefore, although the Tang army had only had the Wolf-fang Army in Julan City before, there must be heavy troops to make up for it in the future.

"There are many great monks in the Tang Dynasty, no less than us. There is no need to think about it. Most of them should have gathered in Julan City at this time. They waited for the time to launch an offensive against Talas."

Speaking of this, Mullen stopped, picked up the wine glass, and took a leisurely sip, calming down.

Xi Luchi's eyes changed and he thought quickly, "So the Guards are in the southern Tuhuo area at this time?"

"Of course. Avoiding the real and attacking the virtual, this is my strategy."

Malen said confidently: "Tiger Guards and Yulin Armies are now attacking Tuhuoluo in the Wuhu River area. These two armies are the only two pure Qi training cultivators who have appeared in the Tang army besides the Wolf-fang Army. As long as we concentrate our strength to defeat them first, how can we stop us with just one Wolf-fang Army?

"At that time, the guards will go north and join forces with the army to siege the Wolf-fang army and swallow it in one bite. In this way, all three pure Qi training cultivators in the Tang army will be wiped out. What else can Li Ye use to defend the Tang Dynasty?"

After hearing Mullen talk about his plans, Xi Luchi was so impressed that he was overwhelmed.

At the critical moment of the war, Mullen not only arrived in time with the Guards, but also made a plan to win as soon as he arrived. This military insight made him feel inferior.

However, Xi Luchi was not surprised.

In the past years, Malun pacified the powerful domestic officials, conquered all the great lords who wanted to be independent, conquered Tianzhu, and expelled Shimen. In which battle did not show his amazing strategies and combat power? If not, how could Dashi have the scene today?

"Xi Luchi, your more than 100,000 personal troops are all composed of Qi training monks, who are stationed in the city and guarding it. It should not be difficult to block the Wolf Tooth Army, right?" Malen asked Xi Luchi.

The two deputy emirs of Dashi have an army of pure Qi training cultivators of about 100,000 people, which is also the strongest combat power of Dashi besides the Guards. If there was no such power, Mullen would not have let Xi Luchi go to fight the Qihe Basin himself before.

"If you cannot defend Talas, let the Caliph deal with it!" Xi Luchi made a military order.

Mullen nodded and expressed his appreciation for Xi Luchi's fighting will.

His guards had more than 300,000 people, and they faced the unprepared Tiger Guards and Yulin Army. In his opinion, victory was definitely easy to win. As long as Talas did not have any problems, the situation of the battle would develop as he imagined.

Mullen picked up the wine glass again, but this time he didn't go to drink, but looked outside the door with a distant look.

He murmured: "Even if it is like the Battle of Talas more than a hundred years ago, the Wolf Tooth Army, the Tiger Guard Army, and the Yulin Army can still be led by the general and some of the soldiers to break through and preserve some of their strength in an extremely unfavorable desperate situation. But I have the naval fleet led by Montitaz to land in the East Sea of ​​the Tang Dynasty, and then...

He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and showed an evil and charming smile, "Li Ye, Li Ye, how else can you fight me?"
Chapter completed!
