Chapter 1032: I have to rely on my Datang

The border between Uighur and Tubo is vast. From west to the west of Guizi, with Tianshan as the border, Uighur is connected to Tubo and Geluolu. To the east is Anxidu Hufu and the newly restored Beitingdu Hufu as a buffer In Yizhou, it was reconnected with Tubo, and then went west to Tubo to occupy the Hexi Corridor, while Huipu controlled the north of the Hexi Corridor until the Shufang Fangdu of Tang Dynasty and the Lingzhou generation.
Therefore, Jie Yujias wanted to attack Tubo in two directions. One direction was to turn back west, go to Guizi to attack Tubo and Geluolu, and the other direction was to continue east along the current road and attack Yizhou. Guazhou and Shazhou in the southwest; from Yizhou to the west, we must travel along the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains. The roads are complicated and far away, so Jie Yugas can only choose to go east.
This is also in line with the wishes of Yang Xigu and Shen Long. The closer to the east, the closer to Datang. This is extremely powerful for them. So after taking a break in Yizhou, the coalition of Datang and Uighur continued to advance southeastward. Directly approaching Shazhou City.
Shazhou is close to Dunhuang today, with Dajingze and Ganquan water nearby as water sources. It is one of the few places in the Shahai Sea that can feed people, so it has become a key node of the Hexi Corridor. Anyone who wants to enter the Western Region from Datang, Must pass by Shazhou.
On the way from Yizhou to Shazhou, there are mostly desert Gobi, and there is Mogayan moraine, which is known as the 800-mile long sea in the middle. The place is 800 kilometers long. It is said to be the Shahe River. There are no flying birds, no beasts, no water plants. Suitable for large marches.
Therefore, Jie Yujias and Shen Long had to reduce the number of troops, leaving some men and women in Yizhou and Tingzhou for a generation, and only brought elite men and women to Shazhou. Shen Long brought two thousand Tang elites, and then let Lu Chaoran selected some elite cavalry from Shatuo Turkic, and then added Kang Guangde and other miscellaneous men, a total of more than 6,000 people.
And Jie Yujiasi brought more than 10,000 people, and the two sides added up to nearly 20,000 people. This number may not be a big number in the territory of Datang, but the generation that leads to the Hexi Corridor in the Western Regions is definitely a heavy soldier. Tubo The defenders placed in the generations of Shazhou and Guazhou do not have this number. After all, the Ganquan water in Shazhou and the dark water in Guazhou can not support so many people.
Even so, the supply of food for more than 20,000 horses and horses is also a huge test for the logistics of the coalition forces. If Shen Long had a good harvest in Tuntian, and the Uighur had plundered a lot from the small tribes in the Western Region, they could Not enough to supply so much food for the army.
While marching, Jie Yugas also wanted to cause some trouble to Datang and let Shen Long explore the way ahead. He hoped that the eight hundred miles of Hanhai could cause some trouble to Datang's army to weaken the strength of Datang's army.
However, Shen Long disappointed him again. The average person might get lost in the eight hundred miles of sea, but for Shen Long, there is no such problem. There are eagle birds in the sky to help him see the road, magic and Axing ’s. The perspective ability can help him find hidden water sources. In addition, Shen Long also has advanced equipment such as a compass, and there are many white-haired veterans who walked along the Hexi Road. How can he turn his head on this little thing?
Shen Long almost brought the entire army out of the eight hundred miles of sea. Instead, it was Jie Yugas in the back. He had followed Shen Long without losing his way, but many of his soldiers did not pass this. Road, do not adapt to the local climate, some do not pay attention to control drinking water, drink their water early and die of thirst, and some are separated from the big troops without paying attention, and they become corpses in the desert ... …
Finally, a statistic shows that Jieyugas lost hundreds of people and made him depressed. After leaving the sea, the army camped by the Ganquan water. At this time, it was summer, when the snow from the melting snow of the Daxue Mountain flowed into Ganquan. The water made the whole river full of water, and the soldiers could finally let go and drink the water.
The Tibetan sentry found their tracks. Instead of hiding in the city, they took the initiative to attack while their march was tired and unsettled.
Jie Yujia was not surprised but let the Uighur army attack the city. They were not used to it. On the contrary, it was easier to fight outside the city, so Jie Yugas immediately commanded everyone to prepare for the battle. Before, now it ’s time for my sons and sisters in Uighur to fight! Most of them are just watching! "
He was still afraid that Yang Xigu would continue to grab the power, and quickly blocked Yang Xigu with words. Yang Xigu would not naturally refuse. When Datang was flourishing, when the Beiting Dufu and Anxi Dufu were on the expedition, that time Is n’t the servant army the vanguard first? Jie Yujias reminded him of those years.
"Yuanzheng may wish to take a closer look, so that he is familiar with the strategy of the next Uighurs!" Yang Xigu reminded Shen Long, don't see that Uighur and Datang are coalition forces. Maybe they will have another battle in the future. They are in the Western Regions. There must be this consciousness, anyone can become your enemy, and anyone can unite with you to attack others. Isn't that what the Shatuo people are like?
"I will understand it at the end!" Shen Longding looked at it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I saw that Jie Yujia would put a few armored cavalry in the Chinese army, first harassing the Tubo army with flanking cavalry, trying to wait for the enemy When the formation is chaotic, use armored cavalry to win.
"The big picture is anxious. Now that our army has just left the sea and is exhausted, it should be the first time to kill some of the Tubo's strength. It is not appropriate to rush to attack." After looking at it for a while, Shen Long felt Jie Yugas's There is a problem with the strategy. The Tubo and the Uyghurs seem to be as weak as they were. However, the Tubos were born in Shazhou before, but the Uighur army had just hurried out of the Hanhai and was eager to meet the enemy. This was a physical loss.
If it was Shen Long, he would definitely build Yingzhai and other Tibetans to attack. If they did n’t attack, we would rest and wait for physical strength to recover. If they attacked, they would use the Yingzhai to consume their physical strength. The next battle directly with the enemy.
Things were moving in the direction Shen Long expected. The former wind-hushed cavalry was now slow, not only did not destroy the formation of the Tubo army, but instead was beaten by the Tubo to their own position, and harassed them. ; Jie Yujia quickly dispatched armored cavalry to charge, but these armored cavalry were exhausted, and they could still withstand the speed. For the cavalry, if there is no speed, there is no impact, and accidentally fell into the siege of the Tubos. .
"So, it still depends on my Datang!" The other party is an ally, and cannot help but save the iron armor in the hands of the Tubo people, which is not a good thing for the Tang army.
Shen Long immediately ordered people to wave the flag, and Kang Guangde and Lu Chaoran were immediately ready to attack.
