Five days have passed since the battle began.
Both sides have lost some troops, but overall, the losses of the Dashi Army are much greater.
The original 40,000 Sogdian servants have less than 20,000 people who can continue to fight. , there are a large number of wounded soldiers lying in the camp, and wounded soldiers die every day because they cannot get treatment; the main force of the food army has lost more than 12,000 people, and there are still more than 3,000 wounded soldiers who can fight.
There are only more than 30,000 soldiers.
The overall situation of the Tang Army was slightly better.
The barbarian tribal armies of the Western Turks and the tribal armies of the Anxi Kingdom lost nearly 6,000 people and had 2,000 wounded soldiers.
The main force of the Tang Army lost 5,000 men and horses, and there were more than 2,000 wounded soldiers.
From an overall point of view, the situation of the Tang Army is better than that of the Dashi Army.
Ziad, the coach of the Dashi Army, also knows this situation.
The quality of the horses of the Dashi Army is much better than that of the Tang Army’s cavalry.
The cavalry maneuvers quickly, which is the advantage of the Dashi Army.
Advantages, the advantage of the Tang Army lies in long-range strikes capabilities, and the various combat capabilities of the Tang Army's infantry are generally better than those of the Dashi Army, because the Tang Army's infantry are not only spearmen, but also sword and shield wielders, and archers.
It can be said that every soldier of the Tang Army is a multi-faceted combat expert.
The food army cannot compare.
On the night of June 17, the two sides had been fighting for five days, and Dashi's army was encamped.
Dozens of generals gathered in Ziad's handsome tent.
These were all generals of the Great Food Army, and none of them were generals of the servant army.
The atmosphere in the tent was a bit depressing, because the fighting situation in the past few days was really not good for them.
Ziad looked at the depressed generals in the tent and said in a deep voice: "The governor and I fought against the Tang army two years ago.
At that time, their leading general was named Zhao Ziliang.
He led his troops to our feast to welcome Princess Hera of the previous dynasty. , we fought with him several times.
Gao Xianzhi’s soldiers and horses were very good at fighting.
We are still much worse than Zhao Ziliang in this regard, but this has put us in a bad situation even though we have an absolute advantage in military strength.
I originally planned to use the high-speed maneuverability of our light cavalry to deal with the Tang army, but Gao Xianzhi obviously also knew that he was in trouble in this regard. disadvantage, so he puts having high speed Forty thousand mobile barbarian cavalry are deployed on the left and right wings, making it impossible for us to use cavalry to guerrilla their main force.
The current situation is not good for us, but don't worry, our main force is still there, and the people of God are still there.
Extremely high morale.
Judging from these days of fighting, I have After understanding the general situation of the Tang Army, it is no longer suitable to continue the refueling tactics.
If we delay it, the Tang Army will only eat away at our strength.
For now, we can only have a decisive battle with the Tang Army early tomorrow morning.
The soldiers had enough to eat and drink, and then all went out to fight the Tang army for a decisive battle."
All the generals in the tent saluted together and shouted loudly: "As ordered" Ziad waved his hand: "Mudd, Said, and Daoud stay, and the others can go back and make preparations."
After everyone else in the tent left, Mulder stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty General, has the opportunity come for the Geluolu people to take action?"
Ziad nodded and said: "Yes, you have been in contact with the Geluolu people several times, and there are letters and tokens as evidence.
The Geluolu people have taken the bait.
Since they have boarded the ship, they have to see whether we agree to get off the ship.
As long as we hand over the letters and tokens to the Tang Army coach, their fate will be terrible.
I understand that they dare not refuse.
Go and tell Ge Yan, Ge Qutu and others that when the main force of our Chinese army and the main force of the Tang army reach a stalemate tomorrow, ask them to quickly lead their troops to attack the rear of the main force of the Tang army.
Remember, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and you should go there in person to supervise them."
Mu De saluted and said: "I will obey my orders, little man."
After Mulder left, Daoud said: "Your Excellency, Commander, according to the deployment of the Tang army, they deployed the barbarian cavalry on both wings, and the two wings are still some distance from the central army.
The Geluolu people are on the right wing.
If the Geluolu people are not If they follow military orders and advance towards their center from the right wing, they will inevitably be I found that this will not have a sudden effect, and the servant armies on our two wings are not only at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, but their combat effectiveness is also far worse than the barbarian cavalry of the Tang Army.
This is our weakness.
If our two wings are defeated by them, The main force of the Chinese army is in danger.”

Ziad said: "That's why I have to concentrate all the main forces in the Chinese army to prepare for the main force of the Tang Army to fight to the death.
In terms of military strength, the main force of our army is more than twice the main force of the Tang Army.
With a main force of more than 20,000 people fighting, the gap in military strength is huge.
Weaknesses, more than half of the Tang Army are infantry.
Tomorrow I decide to use the last trump card to deal with the Tang Army infantry.
As long as their main infantry of the Chinese army is defeated, in order to stabilize their position, It is necessary to mobilize barbarian troops from both wings to assist in the battle.
If the Geluolu people are not too stupid, they will definitely seize the opportunity to ask for a fight.
As long as the Geluolu people attack the rear of the Tang army, the Tang army will be defeated.
General Said, use your troops tomorrow.
Three thousand heavy cavalry attacked the Tang Army's infantry in the middle.
I don't believe their infantry can stop our armored heavy cavalry.
As long as we can defeat the Tang Army's infantry square, even if all three thousand heavy cavalry are lost, it will be worthwhile."
Said and Daoud looked at each other and nodded.
He saluted Qiyad and said, "Understood."
The main tent of the Tang Army's military camp.
The tent was filled with civil servants and military generals.
After five consecutive days of fighting, both sides had almost understood each other's strength.
Gao Xianzhi also realized that the time for the decisive battle had come, and the Dashi Army would not continue to fight small-scale battles with him.
Let him cannibalize his troops, and he will definitely use his superior strength to fight him in a decisive battle.
Looking at the civil servants and generals in the tent, Gao Xianzhi said: "Tomorrow, the food army is likely to have a decisive battle with our army.
Although we are not short of food and grass and have enough arrows, if the war lasts for a long time, the morale and physical strength of the soldiers will be exhausted.
It's very fast, so we have to do it quickly.
I'm afraid the food army doesn't want to fight with us.
If they continue to consume like this, they have more troops than us, and the amount of food and grass they consume is not a small amount.
Neither of us can afford it.
The decisive battle will come sooner or later.
It is better to simply set it for tomorrow and decide the outcome in a battle with the Dashi Army.
He Lou Yu Run, tomorrow you will lead the Modao team at the forefront of the infantry, and help my general defeat the center of the Dashi Army’s cavalry."
The chief general of the Anxi Modao Army was originally Li Siye, and He Lou Yurun was his deputy general.
However, because Li Siye let Princess Hera die of illness on the way to escort Princess Hera, the court held him responsible and took away all his official positions, so the deputy general He Lou Yu Run succeeded him as the chief general of Anxi Modao Army.
When He Lou Yurun heard Gao Xianzhi's order, he immediately stood up and clasped his fists, saying: "The last general takes orders."
Gao Xianzhi looked at Li Fei Yuanli and Duan Xiushi and said, "Li Fei Yuanli, Duan Xiushi" The two stood up and said, "The end will be here."
"Tomorrow you two will each lead five thousand cavalry and deploy them on the left and right wings."
"Take orders" Gao Xianzhi looked at Vice General Xi Yuanqing and ordered: "Xi Yuanqing, I order you to lead all the infantry in the infantry."
"Follow your orders"
After deploying the three troops on the left, center and right, there were still two thousand light cavalry left.
This was under the jurisdiction of the supervising army Bian Lingcheng.
He could not let Bian Lingcheng lead his troops to kill the large food army, so he could only attack Bian Lingcheng.
Ling Cheng said: "Master Bian, just take the remaining two thousand people as the rear guard commander."
Bian Lingcheng nodded and said: "That's how it should be."
The northeast corner of the Tang Army's right-wing camp.
Ge Yan's face changed drastically after hearing the report from his men.
He quickly walked outside the tent and saw Mulder standing at the door wearing a black cloak.
He immediately pulled Mulder in and asked in a panic: "Mr.
Mulder, at this time Why are you here?
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It doesn’t matter if you don’t want your life.
Do you want to kill us?
Even if something happens, just send a reliable person over.
Do you need to come in person?"
Mulder saluted and said: "This matter is too important.
General Ziad, our army coach, is not worried about it, so I can only make a trip in person.
But Khan can rest assured that I was very careful along the way and was not discovered by anyone."
Ge Yan had no choice but to ask Mu De to sit down and asked: "Then what do you want to do here?"
Mu De said: "The time for the decisive battle has come.
Tomorrow our general hopes that the Geluolu people can raid the rear of the Tang army's main force and form a two-sided attack with our front main force."
Hearing this, Ge Yan's face kept changing.
Mulder saw this and knew that he was still hesitating, and said: "Khan, when things have reached this point, you Geluolu people have no way out.
Your tribe is already on the way here.
Now I was afraid that the Tang Dynasty people had discovered it and wanted to go back.
It will definitely not work.
As the Easterners say, an arrow is on the string and it has to be fired.
As long as the Tang army is defeated, our army will immediately occupy the land of the Western Turks.
At that time, your people will be the masters of this large area.
Grasslands and lush aquatic plants are most suitable for grazing.”
Ge Yan also knew that there was no turning back when he fired his bow.
At this point, he could only take risks and walk all the way to the dark side.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I will act together with the other two leaders.
What do you want us to do?"
Mulder said: "During the decisive battle tomorrow, our army will concentrate all its main forces to attack the main force of the Tang Army's front.
Their frontal infantry will definitely not be able to stop them.
They can only mobilize cavalry reinforcements from both wings.
When the time comes, you will take the initiative to request reinforcements from the Chinese army.
Wait until the center The troops near the army immediately concentrated their forces to raid their rear.
As long as their rear army is defeated, the Tang army's central army will definitely be defeated."
Ge Yan nodded and said: "Well, if Gao Xianzhi really sends people to mobilize troops and horses from both wings, I will definitely ask for reinforcements.
But what if Gao Xianzhi doesn't send people to mobilize troops and horses from both wings for reinforcements?"
Mulder said, "I'm going to stay here and I'll tell you what to do when the time comes."
That night, Mu De stayed in Ge Yan's camp.
In order to prevent anyone from discovering Mu De's existence, Ge Yan had to send people to guard Mu De's camp to prevent anyone from approaching.
Ge Yan also sent people overnight.
The people summoned the Khans of the Moulu tribe, Gequtu and the Chiqi tribe, and informed them of the cannibalism's decision, and discussed with them to reach an agreement
