Chapter 61: Kill the Son before the Battle
The war unfolded in the northwest without warning.
Tens of thousands of powerful soldiers launched an offensive to Arabia with their aura.
The eight-way army was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Wang Zhongsi's overbearing domineering behavior, Gao Xianzhi's sword's deviant path, Feng Changqing's calmness and order, and Li Guangbi's combination of righteousness and wonder...
They each used their own tactical styles to fight on eight different main battlefields.
The front central army commander Pei Min naturally fought with Mosremasa.
Pei Min stood on the temporary command platform, looking at the battlefield in the distance, feeling a little reluctant: the heroic Tang army in the distance was fighting with all their might. They held their weapons high and fought with each step, and every time they took a knife, they were killing people or being killed.
This is also the situation he least wants to see.
Mosremasa has rich combat experience. He joined the army for 16 times and has been forty-six times so far. With the unique fighting spirit of the West, he has to go through a big battle every year after his thirty years of fighting career. As for small battles, there are countless small battles. The four words "having experienced hundreds of battles" are attached to him. "A hundred battles are not an exaggeration."
Pei Min claimed that he had more than ten years of experience in conquest, but he used precise troops and never fought meaningless wars. However, under the constraints of the general environment, the battles he really commanded were far less than Mosremasa.
In terms of experience, Mosremasa is far better than Pei Min.
But Pei Min has his own advantages.
In the era of cold weapons, there is no doubt that the tactical concepts and ideas of the East have far surpassed those of the West.
Pei Min also got the true teachings of Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui. At the tactical level, he undoubtedly defeated Mosremasa.
One of the two sides wins in experience and the other is strength in tactics.
It was the point of being against the wheat. The soldiers on both sides fell to the ground in the battle again and again, and often had to pay more than a thousand lives for a little tiny fighter.
Pei Min knew in his heart that the showdown with Mosremasa would be impossible to decide the outcome without being in the last moment.
He was not looking at the battlefield, but staring at the sky, looking at the clouds and the scorching sun in the sky, no one knew what he was thinking.
After watching the sky for a long time, Pei Min came to his senses and thought not about how to defeat the strong enemy in front of him, but about the Arab movement. He thought to himself: "Gathering the main force in two units means that Wang Zhongsi, Feng Changqing, Gao Xianzhi, Zhang Xiaosong, Li Guangbi and others will make progress very smoothly, and it is beyond doubt that they have the advantage. The most difficult thing is Pugu Huai'en, it is difficult for Abu Muslim to deal with, I wonder if he can withstand it."
Pei Min didn't seem to be worried about the other Arab army, but looked at the direction of the medicine and killing water with a little solemnity.
The medicine kills water by the river.
Abu Muslim stood on the hill, smelling the blood around him and smiling victoriously.
As Mosremasa's most valued favorite, Abu Muslim is not an exaggeration to say that he is resourceful.
After knowing that his opponent was Pu Gu Huaien, he took advantage of the opponent's courage to fight bravely and deliberately transferred his troops to the other side of Yaoshou Shui, creating the illusion of building a dam to block the river water, luring him to the south bank of Yaoshou Shui.
Pu Gu Huai'en really fell into a trap and crossed the river to seek war.
But Abu Muslim took the opportunity to use surprise troops to build a small camp on the hill with a stone and wooden fence that had been prepared.
Pugu Huai'en followed the medicine and killed water. His purpose was obvious, to cut off the Arab water source, and his strategic purpose was the same as his.
In the Western Regions wasteland, water sources are everything.
However, the place he now occupies is the key to attacking, retreating and defending. Going eastward can threaten the Tang army's water access route, and at the same time, it can also curb Pugu Huai'en's way to advance westward.
A kill of two birds with one stone.
He knew that Pu Gu Huai'en was brave and good at fighting, so he turned off attack to defend, luring Pu Gu Huai'en to attack, occupy the favorable terrain, fight with high and low, and wait for the opponent's aura to dissipate, and then decides in one battle.
Now they have taken advantage of the mountain camp to repel the Tang army's attacks again and again. He believes that it will not take long before Pugu Huai'en will be unable to hold on.
Pugu Huai'en looked down silently, and the dense figures rushed forward like ants. He continued to enter the battlefield full of death and launched a fierce attack on the enemy on the opposite side, with deep self-blame in his heart.
When the battle reached this point, he would have to pay the main responsibility as the Lord.
He has a heavy armored cavalry in his hand, which is most suitable for field assault.
The north bank of the medicine kills water is low in the north and high in the south, with hills and gullies crisscrossing and the environment is very complex, and it is not suitable for heavy cavalry assaults. On the contrary, the south bank of the medicine kills water is lush with grass and a flat horse, which is suitable for cavalry assaults.
The enemy moved the camp to the south bank of Yaoshu, which was exactly what he liked.
With a desire to fight, I made the wrong decision and let my enemies easily occupy the strategic important position.
Moreover, the enemy's methods made him feel a little ashamed. When Pei Min attacked Guangen Town, he repaired fortifications overnight. The enemy also used the same method and built simple defense facilities in a short period of time.
In less than half an hour, three thousand soldiers disappeared under this cannibal hill.
"Father!" Pu Guyi retreated with blood on his face. He held a corpse in his arms and said sadly and angrily: "Father, uncle, uncle, he died in battle!"
Pugu Huaien glanced at the fatal arrow feathers on his younger brother's chest, his eyes were slightly red, and then he looked at his eldest son fiercely and said sternly: "I haven't issued the order to retreat yet, why did you retreat?"
Pu Gu was at a loss, panting like a cow, and he was bleeding heavily, and said, "Child, Child killed twenty-one people, and saw his uncle being shot in an arrow..." He wanted to make an excuse, but under Pu Gu Huai'en's stare, he kowtowed and said, "Father, Child, I have tried my best, I really can't rush up. Almost all of the thousand brothers who rushed with me were killed! My uncle also shot the hidden arrow..."
"Don't mention your uncle..." Pugu Huai'en raised his head high and said sternly: "You are not worthy, he is a hero, you are a deserter. If you come, please send an order, Pugu will escape in the battle and behead you immediately."
Pu Guqin exclaimed: "Father!"
Pugu Huaien glanced at him, and his cold gaze made him take a step back.
The supervisory team has already pressed the servant to the ground.
Pu Guyi struggled to break away from the executioner and whispered: "Instead of dying at my father's hands, I would rather die on the battlefield! Father, give my child another chance!"
Pugu Huai'en turned his back to him. When he heard his grief and angry plea, his whole body trembled. Then he forced himself to rest and said, "The deserter, the crime is unforgivable, and the execution is carried out!"
