Tibet

Chapter 275
The Holy Maiden Ceremony is over, and after two days of rest, Ge Luolu's new Holy Maiden, Ha Ye, will follow the thirteen holy women representatives to Samarkand, where she will spend five years in the Daguangming Temple.

Narman, the great chief of the Vladimir tribe, was invited to the dental tent. Sare asked him to sit down at the small table with a thick and soft carpet under his body. Sare poured him a cup of milk wine and said, "Today the Great Food Messenger is here. Already!"

Nerman was taken aback, "What is the food messenger here for?"

"The big cannibal handed Yu Luohuo, the last chief of Tuqishi, to me!"

Narman smiled and said, "This is a good thing! What about the cannibal's appeal?"

"The big cannibal wants me to send troops to cut off the supply road of the Tang army, and attack the Tang army from behind. If possible, it is best to capture Suiye. Once the Tang army is defeated, they will not be able to gain a foothold west of Congling. The big cannibal promises to take Baba Give me all the land east of Khanna."

Narman said for a while, "Do you want me to do it with you?"

Sare nodded, "If it succeeds, I will distribute the Yili River Valley to my brother!"

The Yili River Valley is the most yearned-for place for the Ge Luolu people, and it is also the dream of the Ge Luolu rulers in the past. Sare's conditions are not unreasonable.

Narman narrowed his eyes and said: "Even if I am willing to work with you, there is not enough time! I want to go back to Xuanhai to lead troops, and I will go there for at least 20 days. The war between Datang and Dashi is probably already over. .”

Sa Lei quickly shook his head and said: "Of course I know that time is too late. I will cut off the Tang army's food supply and attack the Tang army's back. I am worried that if Dashi loses this battle, how should I face Tang army?"

Naerman immediately understood that the other party wanted to pull him together to resist Tang Jun's counterattack, so he smiled and said: "Ge Luolu is a family, if the day comes, I will definitely not stand by!"

With Narman's words, Sa Lei was completely at ease. If Ge Luolu's three families joined forces, they would really not be afraid of Anxi Tang Jun.

Narman returned to his big tent, thinking for a while. He knew that Sare had already made the decision to join the war, and he just wanted to find himself to cover for him. If he won, he might not give himself the Yili River Valley. If he lost, he would Will drag myself into the water and confront Tang Jun.

In fact, he didn't agree to Sare, but he didn't reject him either. He just said that he would not stand by. "Will not stand by" has many meanings, which may not be what Sare understood.

At this time, the youngest daughter, Jinshan Aling, walked into the big tent and said, "Father, we are going to leave today."

Narman was startled, "Didn't you leave the day after tomorrow?"

Ah Ling explained: "Everyone is very worried about encountering a war, so they want to leave early."

Narman nodded, "It's better to leave early, Ge Luolu will also send troops, and if you leave late, you will be affected by the war. You'd better take Suiye to Zhenzhu River, it's safer there!"

"Ge Luolu also wants to join the Tang army?"

Narman sneered and said, "Sarey is not joining Tang Jun, but is planning to stab Tang Jun in the back!"

Ah Ling was taken aback, "Father is not joking! Ge Luolu attacked the Tang army, how will he gain a foothold in Yibohai in the future?"

"He is betting that the Tang army will be defeated, and he can only return to Anxi in the end. The land here will belong to him, and the Dashi envoy promised him the same."

"The Great Food Messenger is here?"

Narman nodded, "Hurry up and leave! Don't get involved in the right and wrong here, I'm going to return to Xuanchi tonight, and I don't want to be involved in such a mess."

Ah Ling returned to her big tent, she was very anxious, her man was the general of Suiye Tang Army, who was fighting against the big cannibal in Talas, she had to tell him this important information.

Thinking of this, she wrote a note, called her two confidant maids, handed the note to them, and asked them a few words.

The two maids found an excuse, left the tooth tent camp on horseback, and galloped towards Talas City.

The 5 food army rested in Baishui City for a day. Abu Muslim took Baishui City as a logistics center and left [-] troops to guard it. He led [-] people to go straight to Talas City.

Two days later in the morning, the [-] Khorasan army who rushed to the rescue finally arrived at the south bank of the Taros River.

At this moment, [-] main forces of the Tang army appeared on the south bank three miles away, with banners fluttering and trumpets whimpering. Abu Muslim did not expect to meet the main force of the Tang army so soon. Fight!"

Lieutenant General Ibn Ziyad stepped forward and suggested: "The army is exhausted from a long distance, why not retreat to Taluo City first, and rely on Talas to fight against the opponent."

Ibn Ziyad is the elder brother of the general Ziyad of Talas City. Both of them are famous Persian generals. Before that, Ibn Ziyad led the [-] Khorasan army to participate in the war to plunder Egypt.

In contrast, Abu Muslim trusted Ibn Ziyad more and entrusted him with an army of [-] troops.

Ibn Ziyad’s words immediately reminded the Muslims. He immediately raised his hands and looked towards the city of Talas several miles away.
Are they not in the city anymore?Breaking out from the east and heading south through the Qianquanshan Canyon, or were they too injured to join the battle?

Abu Muslim thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that the entire army had been wiped out. If the entire army was wiped out, there would definitely be soldiers who would flee back and report to him.

Abu Muslim immediately ordered a centurion to lead a group of soldiers to detour to Talas City to check the situation.

"Governor, the enemy is coming!" shouted the soldiers.

Tens of thousands of the main force of the Tang army had already appeared a mile away and stopped moving forward.

The formation of the Tang army is also one main and two wings. The main formation is [-] Anxi Army and [-] Beiting Army infantry, of which [-] Beiting Army infantry are crossbowmen, led by Cheng Qianli's deputy general Yang Xiao, and they are deployed in the [-] Anxi Army. In front of them, and behind them are [-] heavy armored Modao troops, including [-] heavy armored infantry from the Beiting Army.

Both wings are cavalry, the right wing is [-] Beiting cavalry, led by Cheng Qianli, the left wing is called Suiye Ningyuan Army, composed of [-] Suiye cavalry and [-] Bahana cavalry, led by Li Ye.

At this time, the sound of rumbling war drums came from the enemy's large formation in the distance, and the [-] Khorasan elite army was launched.

Like the tide of Qiantang on August [-], the overwhelming army rushed towards the Tang army.

This is the first time that the Tang army has fought against the Dashi regular army, and of course it is also the first time that the Dashi army has fought head-on with the Tang army.

The Great Food Army is also divided into five legions, three of which are cavalry legions and two infantry legions, each with 1 people.

Each legion is divided into ten thousand-man teams, and below the thousand-man team are ten centuries-man teams.

Dashi soldiers mainly wear leather armor, but they also wear a short leather robe and a black belt around the waist. This is because the temperature difference between day and night is large, and they need to keep out the cold at night, and they all wear turbans on their heads.

The captain of the centurion and above are all armored, and the leader Muslim even wears a golden armor.

Spears are the main weapons of the Dashi army. Their spears are thinner and lighter than those of the Tang army, and they generally have shields. In addition, there are sword and shield troops, who hold round shields, Damascus machetes and long-handled hammers. In addition, large The food army has bows and arrows, but no crossbows.

The crossbow is a unique weapon of the Han army, and it was later spread to the West.

Running in the front were ten thousand cavalry cavalry, led by Aziz, the commander of ten thousand people. Their momentum was galloping, stirring up billows of yellow dust, filling the sky.

Yang Xiao shouted: "Crossbowmen are ready!"

The red flag was raised, and six thousand crossbowmen raised their crossbows together. The cold and sharp crossbow bolts pointed at the sky at a 45-degree angle. They were divided into three groups, 2000 people in one group, and they would shoot in three stages.

In addition, there is also a spear at the feet of the six thousand soldiers, and they will soon be transformed into a spear army.

The enemy cavalry was getting faster and closer, and entered the killing distance of [-] steps. Yang Xiao ordered sharply: "Shoot arrows!"

The red flag was waved down, and the sound of clappers suddenly sounded, 'Bang!state!state! '

The first group of two thousand crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, and the black arrows shot at the enemy crowd.

　This is the role of A Ling. If there is no report from A Ling, it is very likely that the Tang army will be attacked from behind by the Ge Luolu people during the fierce battle between the Tang army and the Dashi army. Moreover, the Tang army's food road will be cut off, which will seriously shake the morale of the army.
