Chapter 114 Star Sea is Bright
Mullen pondered.
The victory or defeat of the war seemed to be very simple at this time, and the decisive factor was whether the monks and materials he recruited could arrive at the Eastern Frontier battlefield as expected. For a real big country, it was easy to allocate personnel and materials in the country at home, and nothing seemed to be easier than this.
At least it is much easier than fighting head-on with the Tang army on the battlefield.
"In this battle of survival and demise, the True God is watching each of us and sending orders. For the glory of the True God, every True God warrior must swear to defend Mulu City to the death! I will fight side by side with the soldiers, and will not take a step back from Mulu City until death!" Malen's military orders were issued very strict and conservative.
In order to make all the soldiers fight with all their might and keep the Mulu City defense line as long as possible, Mall doesn't mind creating an atmosphere where the country is in danger and cannot retreat even if it takes a step.
Mullen's plan is very clear. As long as he stays on the Mulu City defense line for a month and a half, when the first three batches of monks recruited will be in place, they will enter the preset city to build a second front, and he will lead the soldiers of Mulu City to retreat from the first line of defense that will inevitably be severely damaged fortifications and enter the complete second line of defense to continue fighting.
Of course, this is just the bottom line, the worst case scenario.
Muren hopes that Mulu City's defense line can be defended for longer, so that the second line of defense can have more time and be operated more solidly.
When will the army retreat depend on the Tang army's offensive.
As long as the Tang army cannot break through the Mulu City defense line within one and a half months, the personnel and materials on the second line of defense were not ready and the fortifications were not yet formed, Mallen believed that the final victory would definitely belong to the big food.
And this is indeed not difficult for Dashi.
When I came to Mulu City and looked southeastward, there was a brightly lit camp in front of a foothill dozens of miles away, like a sea of stars. Mallen knew that it was a camp established by the Tang army's vanguard of the cavalry.
The vanguard has arrived, which means that the main force is not far away. After a period of peace in the war, the two armies will fight bloody battles on the battlefield again.
"Xi Luchi, if you are the head coach of the Tang army, how long will it take to conquer Mulu City?" Malen suddenly asked the deputy Emil Xi Luchi who was following him.
Xi Luchi thought for a while. Until today, Dashi and Datang have already had a deep understanding of each other's combat power. This question is not difficult to answer, "At least three months!"
Mullen shook his head, "It won't take three months. When it comes to this, you don't have to compliment me. In my opinion, about two months should be reasonable. In other words, before the cold winter comes, they can break through the Mulu City defense line."
Xi Luchi nodded and said nothing more. Mullen's statement actually conformed to his cognition.
After Li Ye and King Qi finished roasting lamb, they sat on the grass, resting their heads on the sky with their stars all over the sky, drinking gulplessly. The lamb who had finished eating his companion legs lay down at King Qi's feet with satisfaction, with two small eyes open, and was not shouting, looking very tactful.
King Qi felt compassion for this lamb, but he didn't like the other party to stick to her. After staying with the sheep for a long time, he would also have a smell of sheep. This was not in line with King Qi's preferences, so he kicked it away with his feet several times.
Perhaps because King Qi was a little weaker, the lamb did not feel the threat. After rolling down the hillside, he would always stand up and continue running back to King Qi's feet, and then lie down after bleating twice.
Li Ye was amused and couldn't help but joke with King Qi, saying that she was taking it upon herself, which made King Qi roll his eyes unhappy and kicked the lamb down the grass slope with another kick.
"What's the situation in the fairyland?" King Qi turned his head and asked.
Li Ye shrugged and said helplessly: "At present, we are still evenly matched, and no one can do anything to each other. The same is true for me and the True God."
King Qi frowned his narrow and graceful eyebrows, "The Tang Dynasty Immortal Realm was originally the only one in the Taoist Immortal Court, but now it has the Buddha Domain, and the demon clan helps him. Even if the Immortal Emperor is killed, the Taoist Immortal Court has not suffered much loss. In addition, the monks and demon clan warriors are much stronger than before. Such power cannot do anything to the immortals of the Crescent Sect?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "The Taoist Immortal Court is indeed profound in its foundation and strong in strength, but today, they are actually very corrupt. If not, I would not have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation;
"The monks in the Buddhist realm, after experiencing the defeat of Tianzhu, their power has been greatly reduced, so that Feihong became the new saint Buddha; as for the demon clan, they are trapped in a corner, and are not as good as the two. Although the three are united now, the time is still shallow. I have not had time to purify the turbid and promote the good and train them well, so the power is far less powerful than you imagined.
"The Crescent Moon Sect in front of you is the largest sect in this world at present. It is powerful and unparalleled, and is personally led by the True God. It has been trained for a long time. Now the whole world is united and has a high fighting spirit.
"If I had not gathered with the Taoist Immortal Court, the Buddhist monks, and the demon masters, it would have been impossible to tie them. The current situation is already difficult to get."
King Qi kicked the lamb who came over again. This time she was not in a very smooth mood and had a little more force. The lamb let out a whine cry, and the distance was particularly far, and her whole body was like a jar.
"What will the final result?" asked King Qi.
Li Ye drank the last sip of wine from his wine bag, threw the wine bag away, lay down on the grass slope with his hands on his head, looking at the mysterious and vast galaxy river, and said in a calm expression: "No matter what the result is, it cannot be obtained in a short time. Before that, ten battles between the mortals were also over."
One day in the Immortal Realm, one year in the mortal world. It is difficult to distinguish between the immortals of the Tang Dynasty and the Dashi Immortals. Fighting for a few days is just a common thing. But for the Tang Dynasty, it only takes three months to decide the battle between the mortal world. It doesn’t even take so long.
Whether the Dashi East Realm can be broken through the plateau and the two rivers basin can be broken through the plateau within two or three months, and before the opponent's defense line is enough to complete the arrangement, is the decisive factor in whether the Tang army can win.
This speed is much faster than that of the Immortal Realm.
"The key to the victory or defeat in the battle between the mortal world is that the time when the Dashi formed a deep defense line, and compared with the time when the army captured Mulu City. Whoever wins earlier is simple and direct to it."
King Qi drank the wine bag in one breath, imitated Li Ye's appearance, threw the wine bag away, and threw it farther than Li Ye if nothing unexpected happened. She raised her eyebrows at Li Ye proudly, and then happily lie down beside Li Ye to look at the stars.
Li Ye continued the conversation: "After the army arrived, the time to break through the Mulu City defense line and capture Mulu City was actually predictable. It was not much ahead of time and could not be delayed. After all, the military strength of the two sides was there. This battle was a real collision, and there was no possibility of taking a shortcut.
"So, after all, a large part of the victory or defeat of this battle is actually whether the Western Regions Commercial Bank can delay the recruitment order. Since we lifted the crisis of attacking the Tang Dynasty and defeated the Xizhou Uighurs to advance to the Western Regions, the infiltration of the Crescent Cult and the Great Food have been underway, and the layout has been early.
"For the current battle, the Western Regions Commercial Bank has been running around and fighting for many years. Now, it is time to test the results."
King Qi looked at the night sky and nodded slightly. The quiet galaxy fell in her clear eyes, making her pupils look like a shrinking universe, indescribable quiet and moving.
But at this moment, only the night sky can see such beautiful eyes through gazing. No matter who it is, if you want to see these eyes, you have to look at her eyes, and that will definitely cover the stars.
Of course, King Qi would not know how beautiful her eyes were. She found that a huge sheep face was approaching her eyes, and the pores on her slightly red nose were so close that they could be seen. When the bleating sound came into her ears, the sheep showed an easy-to-identify smiling face, unable to tell whether it was ugly, funny, cute, or interesting.
With a slap, King Qi turned his head to Li Ye and said, "Can you take charge of the overall situation of the Western Regions Commercial Bank?"
Li Ye shook his head: "No. Everything depends on themselves. In fact, what I can do has been done for them over the years. At present, I can only believe in them and my efforts."
King Qi showed a bright smile, "The moment of blossoming and fruiting is determined by the time before the blossoming and fruiting. We have reached the limit of our ability, and I believe we will not be disappointed in the end."
Li Ye nodded, saying nothing more.
The starry sea on the foot of the mountain was bright and twinkling, and the grass slope in front of the foot of the mountain was as quiet as water. Neither Li Ye nor King Qi talked about it anymore. The lamb also lay in front of King Qi's feet, yawned for a long time and closed his eyes.
......
The midnight lights in Baghdad were dim. Zhang Changan heard the sound of knocking on the door with a clear rhythm and opened the courtyard door to let Saidianchi come in. The latter was full of red face, breathing alcohol in his mouth, and there was an unconcealed excitement in his eyes. Before he entered the house, he couldn't wait to say to Zhang Changan: "I know who is going to Nisa City!"
Nisa City, Dashi, is the big city closest to Mulu City in China, and is an important town in the northeast of Dashi. In order to get out of Nisa City without any trace from Merhard, Saidiani has been worrying for a long time.
"Let's talk about it later." Zhang Changan was also excited about the good news brought by Saidianchi, but he was stable after all and did not reveal any abnormalities. As long as he knew who went to Nisa City and when to go, the Western Regions merchants could stare at the other party, and cooperate with Nisa City's eyeliner, he could easily grasp the other party's movements.
What Zhang Chang'an and Saidianchi didn't know was that when they were entering the house to discuss important matters, outside Saidianchi's house, in a dark alley across the street, Husunadin and Satuk were staring at the door of the house with bad eyes.
"Are you sure there is a problem with Sainik?" Satuk confirmed the problem to Kusunadin for the last time.
