Chapter 50 Mistakes
Qianquan is also known as Pingyu.
There are three snow-capped mountains that echo each other from afar. There is no special name, just called the snow-capped mountains. They are located in the upper reaches of the Kuragat River and have the victory of forests and springs. In the early 7th century AD, it was the sacred place for the Western Turkic Khan to escape the summer heat.
Since the Tang Dynasty ruled the Western Regions, it naturally became an area controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks were of course not qualified to enter.
However, it was impossible for the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to come here to escape the summer heat, and ordinary people instinctively avoid it, so that people rarely visit it.
Pei Min hid here at this moment, looking at the movements of the West from the hillside.
It has been a half-year showdown with Arabia. During this half-year, both sides have been cautious and cautious.
Frictions continue, small-scale battles continue, especially the You Yijun, who is responsible for harassing and exploring the enemy situation. In order to compete for the initiative in intelligence, they are hard to part with each other.
Both sides suffered thousands of casualties.
In such a large-scale duel, more than a thousand casualties were insignificant.
The changes in the East made Pei Min feel an ominous feeling, even if it was Li Yi and Guo Ziyi who had already won a sure victory.
The safest way is to end the war earlier and return to Chang'an as soon as possible.
Without a fighter opportunity, Pei Min could only take the initiative to look for opportunities.
This ambush battle to lure the enemy was planned by the chaos in the Northeast and the infernal Affairs of Gelulu.
Mosremasa kept holding his troops, waiting for the opportunity of chaos in the Northeast.
Now that the opportunity has emerged, can he easily give up this advantage?
Pei Min had already discovered that Arabs had shown signs of being in operation and laid a large gap for them.
After waiting for about an hour, there was no movement on the Arab side. Pei Min couldn't help but be surprised. If the other party was not trapped, wouldn't he just sing a one-man show for this toss? That would be really boring.
After waiting for half an hour, it was about to dawn, the lurking Li Yide walked out anxiously and said, "Pei Shuai, that lion is too brave. It's all like this. Still, mother-in-law and mother dare not come and fight? Why don't we take the initiative?"
Pei Min was so excited that he thought about it, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "No, Mosremasa is so thick that it is fine. Abu Muslim under his command is even more delicate. Too artificial, it will easily arouse their suspicion."
While turning his head to look at the direction of the Arab military camp, he whispered: "They had an absolute advantage from the beginning, and now we moved back to the disadvantage, and the competition between You Yijun was also the one who suffered losses. Now there is an opportunity to move back to the face before them, so let him decide for himself..."
Just as he was talking, Pei Min smelled the smell of dryness.
"Ah Yeh!"
Simba, the beloved horse beside her, sneezed almost at the same time.
"They are here!"
Pei Min suddenly said, then his face changed slightly, and he said, "No! I'm wrong!"
Pei Min was very familiar with the dry smell that came with the wind.
That is the unique smell of fighting camels.
Camels are very smelly, and the unimodal fighting camels specially cultivated by Arabs are extremely smelly. They have a strong stimulation and can't stand the smell of ordinary war horses.
Because of the bet, Mosremasa gave Pei Min a battle camel with no match at both ends. When he first entered the mansion, it caused discomfort in the whole mansion. At that time, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were crying.
Pei Min still remembers that taste fresh.
The smell of dryness and stinking coming from the wind is the smell of fighting camels.
Feng Changqing hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"
The plan was drawn up by them together, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Pei Min shook his head and said, "If the other party really wants to pursue, he will not send camel cavalry. The speed of camel cavalry is a flaw. In the field, camel cavalry will only drag down the pursuit speed of their army. They want to hurt us severely in the Jiangbuer desert west of Saiye City! Cavalry is said to be the nemesis of cavalry, but I have studied it, and it is not that magical. It is just that fighting camels are much taller than war horses, and this animal is usually afraid of three points for creatures larger than themselves. Camels are more powerful than horses, and they have a certain advantage in hedging and fighting. Apart from this, there is no other special. We can make up for it with tactics and speed... But..."
He changed his voice and said, "In terrain like the desert, fighting camels can be said to be indescribable. Camels are not affected by the desert terrain. In the desert, they are almost invincible."
Xu Yuan also reacted and said, "However, they will not attack rashly, but will bite us until our large army retreats into the Jiangbuer desert? We can't hide our place for long..."
Pei Min nodded and said, "I'm afraid this is the case. It's true that it's not an easy person. I think it's simple to win easily. They are all experts in military use, and no one is a fool!"
Mosremasa may not have noticed their ambush strategy, but they chose a more clever attack method.
Like Li Yide, Zhehuchen never likes to use his brain and asked in a rough voice: "What should I do?"
Pei Min looked at the two generals under his command, similar to Xu Chu and Dian Wei, and smiled and said, "If you can't ambush, you can't fight? They won't pursue too many troops, and our ambush didn't find it. So he fought head-on and it's all done, but I'm sorry for the soldiers who were frozen. If you are afraid, stay behind..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Li Yide and Zhe Huchen shouted.
"Pei Shuai, when did I, Lao Li, have I been afraid of..."
Zhe Huchen stared at the pair of lantern-sized eyes and said, "Shi Shuai Pei doesn't know me yet. No matter whether he is a camel cavalry or a cavalry, he will face me Zhe Hu, so that they can't help but keep it."
"Okay!" Pei Min pulled out his Qin Emperor's sword and said: "Everyone said that Arab soldiers were strong and strong. They said that we had defeated them before because their main force did not come. Today we will let them know how I attacked my son... Li Yide, Zhehuchen, you attacked head-on and rushed towards the enemy cavalry head-on. Ashin Shin, you lead your troops to detour the enemy's right wing, exert your speed, and do not allow the enemy to confront the cavalry head-on. Xia Shan, bring a crossbow and go with the left wing. If you have the chance to get involved, you will watch the show if your real target is the opponent's camel cavalry. I want to see, the camel with thick skin can withstand the several rounds of strong shooting of the crossbow..."
The west wind is howling!
The bitter cold wind mixed with the chill on the snow-capped mountains made Pei Min’s mind clear and his thoughts were particularly smooth. He ordered one by one from his mouth.
Perhaps the plan to lure the scourge failed, but Pei Min still decided to start the war.
As the commander of the three armies, he has considered a lot of things, but one thing is certain.
Because he cherishes the lives of soldiers, he is unwilling to have a meaningless showdown. This does not mean that he is afraid of fighting and afraid of fighting...
