Chapter 3198 The smoke is billowing
The great cannibals arose in Central Asia, rampaged across Europe for hundreds of years, and established a huge empire across Europe and Asia. How could they be just a ragtag group of people?
This is a powerful army that can shine in human history. Anyone who dares to despise it is destined to be torn into pieces by it.
Fang Jun warned: "It is the stupidest behavior to despise the enemy. It can be seen that the cannibals were able to rampage across the West and beat the once-prominent Roman Empire to the point of defeat and on the verge of collapse. Now they have to defend Istanbul and fight to the death." They are fierce and brave. Especially the Arab soldiers have firm beliefs. They pursue victory without fear of death and can often unleash extremely powerful fighting power. If we are arrogant and arrogant, we will definitely lose."
Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting were shocked and hurriedly lowered their heads and said: "The commander-in-chief taught me a lesson, the general will eventually realize his mistakes!"
The great battle of pulling out the valley caused the morale of the entire Youtun Guard to skyrocket. At the same time, it was inevitable that they would become arrogant and a little vain from top to bottom.
I can't blame the pride of the soldiers and generals. It took twenty years for Tuyuhun to raise tens of thousands of cavalry. All the elites were extremely brave. The result was that they came in such a fierce manner that their momentum was enough to cause the mountains to collapse and the ground to crack. However, they were killed in the great battle of pulling out valleys. They could not cross. A step forward.
This battle was enough to shock the world and go down in history.
We are not saints. How can we not be arrogant in the face of such a great victory?
However, they are all people who know how to fight and understand the principle that "a proud soldier will be defeated". Every time we face a battle, no matter how powerful the enemy is, we should deal with it with caution and go all out.
Fang Jun nodded and said: "It's not a lesson, it's just a reminder. Although Youtun Guards are tyrannical, they are not yet at the level of being arrogant in the world. These soldiers have been trained with great difficulty. After several battles, they are already among the few in the world. We must not suffer serious losses due to our negligence as generals. . Therefore, every time we go to the Western Regions to fight, we must walk on thin ice and strive to be as meticulous as possible. After all, the enemy is powerful and there is no chance for us to make mistakes. One mistake may determine the entire defeat. , there is no way to recover.”
"Here!"
Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting quickly stood up, bowed and saluted, and loudly agreed.
Fang Jun glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice: "If we rush to the Western Region this time and are defeated by the cannibals, leading to the fall of the Western Region, danger to Hexi, and danger to Guanzhong, we will inevitably become sinners of the empire, and we will not be able to die in peace. . But if we drive out the barbarians and secure the territory, our achievements will surely go down in history. They will shine through the ages, no less than the merits of the Eastern March! You two, at a time when the empire is in turmoil and the country is in turmoil, it is our turn to perform our duties and make contributions. We must not be arrogant, careless, or fearful of the enemy. It will be a regret for life and a shame for our country!”
"Here!"
Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting were excited and agreed repeatedly.
As Fang Jun said, because they were in the Youtun Guards, they were excluded from the mainstream of the DPRK. They did not have a share in the national wars such as the Eastern Expedition, which were regarded as a "big send-out of meritorious deeds." It is impossible to say that there is no resentment in the heart. Who doesn't know that in this battle, if you gain meritorious service, you can pass it on to your family and benefit your descendants?
However, with the cycle of heaven and earth, who would have thought that Hexi and the Western Regions would suddenly suffer from successive wars?
Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Eastern Expedition were crowded into the narrow and barren Liaodong, squeezing their heads to snatch the countless merits. However, the Youtun Guards, who were originally excluded, unexpectedly received the heavy responsibility of protecting their homes and the country.
Now that Tuyuhun has been defeated, this powerful nation is about to be completely erased from history. If we can defeat the cannibals again, who in the world will recognize this feat?
The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.
……
Two days later, the Youtun Guards were fully prepared and sufficient gunpowder, projectiles, and sky-shaking thunder were replenished. More than 40,000 people including the main force, auxiliary soldiers, and civilians lined up outside the Dadou Valley. The sun shone on Fang Jun. The bright light armor made Yinglang's face even more heroic.
Riding on his horse, Fang Jun said to Duan Hu and Hou Mochen Fen who were coming: "I am going to the Western Regions. It is a long journey and I don't know when I will return. I entrust the defense of Hexi to you. The importance of Hexi does not need to be elaborated by me. ,think You two must know very well that although Tuyuhun has returned in vain, there are still Tubo tigers who are eyeing him. If you make any mistakes, don't use me to punish you, the national law will not tolerate you! "
Regarding the alliance with the Gar family, he will not leak it easily at this time. Besides, since the two countries are adjacent to each other, how can we place the security of our national defense on the alliance? It is essential to be on guard against others, and we cannot slack off for a moment. What's more, the Gar family is a part of Tubo after all. Who can guarantee that the domestic situation will not change instantly? The Gar family obeyed Songtsen Gampo and brazenly sent troops to Hexi?
There is no trust between countries, and it is common for them to turn against each other due to their interests. For major national defense matters, we can only rely on ourselves.
Duan Hu and Hou Mo Chenfen quickly accepted the order: "I will obey the order! We must maintain the stability of Hexi, guard against the enemy's covetousness, and ensure the smooth flow of Hexi."
Hexi is the key road to the Western Regions. It is not only related to the smooth flow of the Silk Road, but now also shoulders the support channel for the entire Western Regions. If it is contributed by the enemy, leaving the Western Regions alone and isolated from Chang'an, they will be derelict in their duties. , beheading is possible.
After experiencing a great battle, the two of them were in awe of Fang Jun and did not dare to show any disrespect.
But they couldn't help sighing in their hearts. They were all the defenders of the counties in Hexi. When the war came, they gloated in the face of Yuchi Baohuan, who was entrusted by Fang Jun to defend the rear line. Fang Jun was arrogant and arrogant. He built a fortress and screamed. How could this be possible when the general Tuyuhun's army was blocked in a big battle and unable to advance even an inch? And Yuchi Baohuan was given a heavy responsibility, which meant that once defeated, he would have to bear the burden of serious dereliction of duty.
But who could have imagined that in the past, the Tuyuhun cavalry that roamed Qinghai Lake had their heads bruised and bloody in front of the fortress. Tens of thousands of elites were beaten by the firearms of the Youtun Guards, leaving corpses and rivers of blood everywhere. In the first battle, the entire army collapsed and fled in all directions. , Yuchi Baohuan even withstood the violent attack of 20,000 Tuyuhun vanguard troops, ensuring that the rear line was not lost, and achieved great success.
Now Yuchi Baohuan has rushed to Chang'an to express his merits. If nothing happens, his rank will definitely rise. Maybe even a baron can get it...
The two of them were so jealous that their eyes were red.
Fang Jun nodded on his horse and said: "I hope the two generals understand the importance. Although they are only stationed in the counties in Hexi, as long as they can ensure the stability of Hexi and the smooth roads, it will be a great achievement. I have always entertained the officers and soldiers under my command, and I naturally do not hesitate to do so. I will definitely take credit for the two of you if you are rewarded. But if Hexi falls, don’t blame me for being ruthless at that time!”
"Here!"
After some beatings, Duan Hu and Hou Mo and Chen Fen were trembling with fear. How could they dare to show any signs of slacking off?
Fang Jun then looked at Pei Xingjian and asked, "Can the army be assembled?"
Pei Xingjian said solemnly: "You can leave at any time."
Fang Jun looked up at the flags that were blowing fiercely in the autumn wind. He could see the troops in unison. He raised his arms and shouted: "Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
The soldiers under his command shouted in unison.
"Woo woo woo"
The long sound of the horn sounded in the wilderness of the land west of Hexi. With the blowing autumn wind, it went straight into the sky and spread throughout the fields.
Countless Tang Dynasty tigers marched towards the Western Regions with high morale and high armor.
There, an unprecedented battle to resist foreign aggression is about to take place. If it fails, the city will be lost, the land will be lost, and the country will be in turmoil. If it wins, it will lead to great achievements, high-ranking officials, and a name that will go down in history!
Since ancient times, the land of the Central Plains has been bullied by foreigners, and from time to time, people have been devastated and humiliated. However, the sons of the Han family living on this land have never surrendered. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they dare to face the war directly.
