Chapter 3537 Being smart
Whether it was the Great Food Kingdom at this time, or the Roman Empire, or the Arab Empire, they all used "divine power" to restrain their citizens. The monarch lacked absolute power, and the people also lacked the necessary loyalty to the "country" and "monarch". This also means that when the country is strong, it can span the world, open up territories, and expand its territory to any corner. However, once the country declines, the Nuo Empire will disappear in an instant.
They still do not understand that what can maintain long-term rule is not the worship of "gods", but the eagerness for cultural homology.
Therefore, it is normal for their political power to be divided and to establish independent regimes. Occasionally, the most talented and brilliant monarchs use force to unify the country, which is difficult to achieve for a long time. However, the Central Plains Dynasty far in the east expected the opposite. The division and separatism were only temporary, and the unification of Shenzhou was the norm.
Under such circumstances, the Dashi army had just suffered a complete defeat in the Western Regions. The loss of troops would cost countless money and food. The caliphate was bound to be constrained by domestic opposition forces. It would be good if he could maintain his position. There would be no spare strength. Continue the expedition to the Western Regions?
It is conservatively estimated that after this battle, the Great Food Kingdom will not be able to conquer the East again for at least twenty years.
After getting rid of this serious problem, the power of the Turks alone is not enough to affect the Anxi Army's rule of the Western Regions. It can be seen that for a long time to come, the political situation in the Western Regions will be stable and usher in a period of rapid development.
This is the fact. As long as there are Han people, after a period of peace, they can always create huge wealth and create a peaceful and prosperous age...
……
Tumidu led the coalition forces of all ethnic groups under his command to attack all the way and arrived at a dangerous pass southwest of the Dashi army camp and at the foot of Tianshan Mountain. This is the only way to connect the east and west. As long as we stick to it tightly, we will be able to cut off the retreat of the Dashi army.
However, after Tumidu arrived here, in addition to immediately releasing all the scouts and scattering around to inquire about the movements of Dashi's army, he also divided thousands of soldiers under his command into two, and most of them were stationed in dangerous passes. land, a small number of them are stationed in dangerous passes...
His estimate of Fang Jun was greatly discounted. Even if something that could fly into the sky could raid the cannibal camp, how could it attack more than 100,000 people with only more than 20 bombs carrying only a few thousand kilograms? military camp?
Once a frontal battle begins, the Dashi army will definitely send out scouts to guard against being ambushed again by the Tang army. If they find him leading his soldiers to set up an ambush here, they will definitely send an army to destroy him.
The Great Eater has an army of more than 100,000 people, which is more than enough to defend the camp. Even if Fang Jun is the reincarnation of the God of War, he cannot break his camp. At that time, the Great Eater can calmly dispatch a cavalry of more than 10,000 people. The coalition forces of various ethnic groups on his side may seem to have a resounding name, but in fact they are mostly shrimp soldiers and crab generals hastily sent by nearby tribes to show their goodwill to the Tang army. They have insufficient troops and insufficient combat power. Being low, once they face the elite cavalry of the cannibal, they will definitely lose.
If he followed Fang Jun's order and stationed himself in a dangerous pass, intercepting the north and south without allowing a single soldier to pass, when the big cannibals came, I might not even be able to escape i...
Humph, you want to use this kind of "killing with a borrowed knife" strategy to weaken Uighur's strength?
Want to be beautiful!
Although Ben Khan does not know many words, he has heard of "Sun Tzu's Art of War"...
Time flies by very quickly, and the night is about to pass. The eastern sky has brightened slightly, and the north wind that has been quiet all night gradually gains momentum, mixed with snowflakes, rolling and wreaking havoc between the sky and the earth.
Tumidu not only lamented that it was extremely rare for the wind to weaken at night in this season, but Fang Jun happened to wait for him when he needed it most.
Although he didn't understand what the thing that could fly into the sky was, he probably understood that it needed to rely on the power of the wind to fly, but the wind should not be too strong, otherwise it would not only be very likely to damage it, but also make it difficult to control.
The "timing" is just right, and even if it cannot destroy the enemy camp, it can still cause great damage to the cannibals.
Just as he was thinking about the fact that people in the Tang Dynasty are always playing with some novel things, including extremely powerful firearms and monsters that can fly into the sky and carry out "air strikes" on the enemy, a scout from a distance rode up and reported when he got close. : "Many cannibal soldiers were found in the front. Their ranks were scattered and their morale was low. They seemed to have just experienced a rout!"
Tumidu was stunned for a moment...
Mother!
Did you really let Fang Jun capture the Dashi army camp? Otherwise, no defeated troops would have arrived here. You must know that the punishment for escaping from the battle is extremely severe, and they will be killed without mercy!
The only exception is the defeat of the entire army...
His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't scream. If the Great Eater's army was really defeated, it would be impossible for all the more than 100,000 people to be killed or captured. Then there would be an extremely large number of defeated troops swarming in. He had only been there beforehand. There are a small number of soldiers and horses ambushed in this dangerous pass, most of them are waiting not far away, planning to run away if the situation is not convenient.
If you can't stop the huge number of defeated troops and let them rush out of the dangerous pass to escape, you will be disobeying the military order!
His expression changed drastically, and he quickly ordered: "Pull the entire army up and defend this dangerous pass to the death. If even one soldier escapes, he will be severely punished!"
"Here!" The cronies on the left and right didn't understand why. Why did Khan, who was still here just now, suddenly become impatient? But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he quickly ran out of the dangerous pass and went to mobilize all the troops and horses waiting to retreat.
However, the defeated troops were like fire. Before those soldiers and horses could arrive, countless defeated troops suddenly appeared under the hazy night of early morning, sweeping over the mountains and plains. Because the dangerous pass here is the only way to pass, the large cannibals and defeated troops scattered in the wilderness are like the confluence of hundreds of rivers, gathering towards the beginning of the dangerous pass, scrambling to try to cross the dangerous pass and flee to the rear.
Behind them, the Tang cavalry is chasing after them. If they run a little slower, they will be hit by the Tang saber, and their heads will be missing...
However, when these defeated soldiers reached the dangerous pass, they were shocked and angry when they saw that someone was guarding the place in advance, cutting off their retreat.
Human nature is the same. As long as there is a way to survive, the vast majority of people will compromise and grovel. No dignity or belief is as important as life. All courage and persistence will be gone, just like a mangy dog with its bones removed. It is enough to live as long as possible.
However, when there is no way out, or even when they are in an abyss, and their bodies are broken into pieces and their bones are destroyed forever, most people can burst out with amazing power-everyone is dead, so why not fight when they are about to die?
As a result, these defeated soldiers who were stunned by the "air attack" of the hot air balloon and fled in panic, and were frightened by the Tang Army's cavalry, finally burst out with their due fighting power before the dangerous pass. There was no need for the general to give orders, and no need to supervise the troops to encourage them. They organized a charge formation on their own and charged towards the defenders composed mainly of Uighurs.
For this glimmer of hope, every soldier of the Great Food Army has a ferocious appearance and is fearless of death!
This is very painful for the Uighur soldiers guarding the dangerous pass!
Tumidu looked at the roaring and charging Dashi troops all over the mountains and plains. Even though he had been in battle for a long time, his scalp felt numb. He looked back at the clan members with the same earth-colored faces and couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart.
Most of the soldiers and horses he separated have not yet arrived, and thousands of enemies are already imminent! It's just that I can't stop these ferocious and ferocious troops with the few soldiers and horses I have now, even if they are one to ten! But if he was defeated and escaped through a dangerous pass, how could Fang Jun spare himself because of his ruthlessness?
The key is that Fang Jun clearly told him not to underestimate the enemy and entrusted him with such a relatively easy task, but he failed because of his own cleverness...
What if the mission fails and Fang Jun uses military law to deal with himself?
You must know that the lives of the whole clan are now in Fang Jun's hands. If he dares to run away, tomorrow Fang Jun will dare to chop off the heads of all the migrating Uighurs and build a Jingguan and place them outside Gongyue City. Learn from past mistakes to avoid future ones, and serve as a warning to others...
He has no way to retreat and can only face the difficulties!
The most helpless thing is that such difficulties were actually created by himself. Otherwise, if he had followed the orders of the Fang family and blocked the dangerous pass with thousands of his men, even if they could not completely wipe out the troops, they could still easily defend them. Two hours were enough for the Tang army to pursue them from behind and attack from both sides, winning a complete victory.
Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in regretting it. He drew out his scimitar and shouted: "The enemy army has been defeated, and the defeated troops are swarming in. We must intercept them, achieve a great feat, and win over the Tang people." More rewards! Fight to the death with me, my sons!”
The Uighur people are the most ferocious and have a tenacious temperament. They will never retreat in fear of difficulties. They immediately drew out their scimitars and shouted in unison: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death!" For a moment, they were so powerful and motionless as a mountain!
