Chapter 1020 Dismissal
"Jieyujiasi invited me to attack Beiting together before, but the Uighurs suddenly lost their Khan, so it has been delayed until now." Yang Xigu said, "Now that I think about it, it will be very beneficial to attack Beiting sometime in the evening. Ah!" With more sophisticated weapons, the soldiers can also eat their stomachs, and more importantly, they see hope again, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers must be greatly improved.
"Exactly, since the caravan returned to the Western Regions, my side has become a lot more relaxed. At that time, I can send thousands of people to help." Guo Xin said, the caravan's continuous delivery of goods from the Uyghur gave him a sense of security. With the help of his interests, he has attracted and divided many tribes near Kucha, and the situation in Kucha city has been greatly eased. Now he has the spare power to send soldiers to help Yang Xigu fight.
"The last general has fewer people here, but he can still spare 800 soldiers to help." Shen Long also stood up to help. Beiting is on the east side of Juliu City, and the main threat they face is from the Tubo people in the east. Since it is going to attack Tubo in the east, Juliu City does not need to leave much defense.
To the west and north of Juliu City are areas where Uyghurs and Ge Luolu have mixed forces. Uyghurs can help them resist, and to the south is the Tianshan Mountains. The enemy cannot come from the mountains. The six cities seem to be on the front line of the war, but in fact they are relatively safe.
"It's so good." Yang Xigu calculated, Guo Xin dispatched 1,000 troops, Shen Long dispatched 800 troops, plus their original troops, this time they can dispatch nearly 4,000 troops. Compared with that day, it has almost doubled.
"When the two guards go back to form the army, you might as well take these armored weapons with you, so that you can fight against Tubo better." During this time, Shen Long's workshop has made many weapons, which are enough for them to use .
"Oh, by the way, there are also dry rations for the march. I'll let them make naan!" The naan that had been planned long ago was finally ready to be used. Naan, bring some raisins and dried meat, the burden will not be too heavy, and it is convenient to eat.
Yang Xigu and Guo Xin were a little embarrassed, the big guys went to Shen Long to eat and take food, and now they have prepared all the dry food for the war.
"So thank you Yuanzheng. After Beiting is restored, please ask Yuanzheng to send someone to teach us how to farm the fields." But after thinking about it, my family can't produce much food now, and we can't let the soldiers go hungry Stomach war? So Yang Xigu directly agreed.
Beiting is just to the east of Juliu City, with only a few small towns in between. It is also located at the northern foot of Tianshan Mountain and is also suitable for farming, so Shen Long also readily agreed.
Yang Xigu and Guo Xin set off immediately, and returned to Kucha and Xizhou with the armor, weapons and food presented by Shen Long, and then quickly selected soldiers and horses, and asked them to put on brand new equipment and prepare for the battle.
Shen Long also made preparations for the battle. After arranging the things after he left, he took 800 soldiers and horses directly to the east, and slowly arrived at the foot of Beiting City; while Yang Xigu waited for the reinforcements sent by Guo Xin to arrive in Xizhou Finally, take these soldiers and horses to Yiwu City to the east, and then turn northwest to the east gate of Beiting.
At the same time, Jieyujiasi also brought the Uyghur army to the north of Beiting, and the three families surrounded Beiting City together. Seeing that there were many soldiers outside the city, the Tubo people did not go out to fight, but stayed behind closed doors, waiting for reinforcements 's arrival
Most of Jieyujiasi's men were cavalry, and they were not good at attacking cities, so they agreed not to start a war in a hurry. Instead, they invited Shen Long and Yang Xigu to discuss. It is only by looking at their reality that they can decide what to do after taking Beiting City.
"Great Guardian!" Outside the Uighur barracks, Shen Long greeted Yang Xigu, and Yang Xigu looked in the direction of Beiting City with a complicated expression.
Shen Long could guess what he was thinking now. This was originally the residence of the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion. In its heyday, the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses and governed Jinman, Luntai and Pulei counties ; the three armies of Hanhai, Tianshan, and Yiwu; and sixteen prefectures including Yanzhi Prefecture and Yanlu Prefecture.
But now, Yang Xigu only has more than 2,000 soldiers and horses left under his command. He even lost the headquarters of Beiting Duhufu, so he can only hide in Xizhou. Now seeing Beiting City again, it is inevitable that he feels complicated.
"After this battle, Beiting City will definitely return to my Tang Dynasty!" Shen Long said firmly.
"Hey, Jieyujiasi is not so easy to deal with!" Yang Xigu has dealt with Jieyujiasi many times, and he knows that this person has always been greedy. If Beiting was defeated by the Uyghur army, he might not It will be handed over to Yang Xigu.
After the notification, Yang Xigu and Shen Long entered the Uyghur army, which aroused Shen Long's emotion again. In the past, the leader of the Beiting family met the Great Protector of Beiting of the Tang Dynasty, didn't they respectfully pay respects? But now, it was Yang Xigu who came to visit them.
Once inside, Jieyujiasi had already prepared the banquet, lit a bonfire in the middle of the camp, and roasted the slaughtered sheep on the rack. There were seats scattered around, and the melons, fruits, wines and drinks were arranged. After greeting each other, Yang Xigu and Shen Long sat down, ready to wait for the banquet to begin.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Long heard someone beside him say in blunt Chinese, "It's such a pity to wear such a good armor on such a bad old man."
Turning his head to look, he saw Jieyu Jiasi's soldiers were staring at the armor of Shen Long, the white-haired soldier beside Yang Xigu, his eyes were full of jealousy.
Looking at him, he was only wearing a broken armor. Compared with the new armor Shen Long made for them, it was really shabby.
"Old man, such a good armor is only suitable for warriors, you'd better take it off and give it to me!" The soldier walked up to the white-haired soldier carelessly, and stretched out his hand to peel off the armor; no wonder he was so jealous, if he could have a good armor , he will have the opportunity to make greater contributions and gain a higher status. For them, a good set of armor is as precious as life.
Shen Long and Yang Xigu exchanged glances. Their subordinates were making such a fuss, but Jieyu Jiasi didn't make a sound to stop him. It was clear that he wanted to give them a blow, so Yang Xigu decisively threw one at the white-haired soldiers. eyes.
Receiving the hint from the Imperial Guard, the white-haired soldier snorted coldly, and clenched the handle of the horizontal knife, "Well said, good armor is indeed only worthy of a warrior, but you can be considered a warrior? Want me to wear it?" The armor is not bad, as long as you can beat this horizontal knife in my hand!"
