.When choosing the main attack direction, Li Wei, Wang Fangyi and others made careful considerations.

From Tochar to the south, open up Jiling City, and join forces with the Persian rebels who are active in Jiling City. They also lean against the Western Regions and can transfer a group of Turkic soldiers from the Western Regions to assist them when they are unfavorable. However, the Tochar area is mainly mountainous terrain and there are many dangerous cities. Some cities are difficult to conquer, such as Huwen City, which is what the locals call Gabrou City.

Because of the mountainous terrain and the grain produced is limited, the Tang Dynasty originally needed to seek food from the river and Tochar. Once the army was dispatched, it needed a large amount of food, and these food and grass needed to be supplied locally. Only countries in the areas of Tochar to Jiling City were unable to bear it unless they were like the cannibals, regardless of the lives and death of the locals.

So I finally chose the city of Moufu. When the summer came, I could get a lot of food and grass in the wild. Moufu City was the capital of Khorasan and gathered a lot of wealth, which could be used as a reward to stimulate the soldiers' war brave soldiers and make up for the losses caused by the war.

After deciding the main attack direction, it was not to give up Tochar, but Tochar also had to divide its troops. Not only did Tochar divide its heavy troops, but another army returned to the army, headed south from the middle road, passed through Dongcao, crossed Mount Bosi, and arrived at the Bazhou Governor's Office (Jumi Country). Then, according to the situation, continue south from the two roads, or detoured southwest by the Tianma Governor's Office (Xie Su Kingdom now Dushanbe), Gumo State Governor's Office (Dawei Country), crossed the middle reaches of the Wuhu River, and went straight to the Great Khan Governor's Office. (The remaining troops of Yanda people). Or go from southeast to the Gaofu Governor's Office (Gudushi State), Wangtingzhou Protector's Office (I have been to Jian State for a long time), and go west to the Khan Protector's Office. When you get here, you may continue to make plans for three routes, one way to the west to the Luyao Prefecture Governor's Office (Wuyu State), one way to the southwest to the Kunxu Governor's Office (Dol Jian State), one way to the south to the Qisha Prefecture Governor's Office (Gushi Jian State), one way to the Feng Governor's Office (Fan Yan State).

The first two routes were to cooperate with the Great Food Army in the direction of the Wuhu River to the maximum extent, while the latter was to form an encirclement of the Governor's Office of the Tiao Branch (Caojuzha Country) and threaten the other two major cities of Khorasan, Balihei (40 kilometers west of Mazar Sharif) and Herat.

However, there are many roads to travel here, so it is not convenient for the army to advance. It can only be regarded as a surprise soldier with few troops. The Wuyu Kingdom, Dole established the Ryulajian Kingdom, protected the Shijian Kingdom, Fanyan Kingdom, and the Great Cannibal all sent troops to station troops. Therefore, this surprise soldier would not be useful until the end, and was stationed on Bosi Mountain at this time.

The army repatriation teams used in the early stage are mainly one in the west and one in the east.

This attack is the real attack of the east and west, not the previous two attacks of the west and east.

But it is not a pure feint attack. If the enemy's troops can be effectively annihilated and the enemy cannibals can be annihilated as much as possible, they have no background in their hearts. As for whether the city of Gabrou can be captured, it doesn't matter, it mainly guarantees victory on the Western Front. The son of Ni Nishima, Bo Shan, came alive and was willing to go to Jiling City to preside over the activities of the Hui Rebel Army, and the plan was modified.

However, the troops were always insufficient. There were soldiers, but the return troops of Hezhong and Tocharo were not the better. Even Wang Fangyi did not dare to use all the soldiers from these two places to fight against the cannibals. If it could be used, it would take several great victories and have combat experience and confidence to use them.

Another method came up.

The immigrants arrived and spring also came, planting crops and transporting grain. Most of them were carts. Last year, many supplies were built, but when they arrived in Shiguo, they were also mountainous, so some livestock were used. So some people were asked to ride horses back and forth. Many of the people who were recruited could not even ride horses. They were burdened with horses, and they rode horses back to continue transporting grains, which was just right to practice riding. However, the food shortage was very large, and they had to prepare materials and supplies for battle. They returned home from the Tochar states, Gudushi and other countries. Even the Western Regions of Tingzhou were transferred a batch of surplus grains. It was completed in the form of transactions. These areas were also mainly mountainous, so these soldiers were asked to ride horses and pull back to bring food.

Several people were staring at this.

At the beginning, more than 50,000 soldiers were recruited, but those who had to be identified were that some soldiers were older, some had only children at home, with parents and wives and children at the bottom. These soldiers had to be removed. The tax that they could not be greedy for exemption was compared to the Central Plains, in order to encourage the hundred people to come, the tax was very light. These people had heavy burdens or poor physical strength, but when they arrived in the army, they were burdened. In March, Wang Fangyi sent people to check one by one and took the lead, and only a few thousand soldiers were left.

Some hundred people were asked to go to the country of Jumi and Jiesu. Gudushi brought food and took the opportunity to transfer 8,000 elite troops to the team mixed with the people of the world and transferred to Bosishan. At the same time, 40,000 new soldiers were transferred to horses to the Western Regions in the name of moving grain. 25,000 troops were transferred from the Western Regions to Tochar from the Governor's Office of the Niaofeizhou (Gumiduo Country). A seemingly powerful army returned to the team, with a total of 65,000 cavalry. In fact, the combat power was very weak, and most people did not dare to ride fast. However, the combat power of the 25,000 troops transferred from the Western Regions was still possible. After all, the plan changed, and there were very few soldiers who could really come in handy in the war situation in the east.

These arrangements took many turns. Dashi sent scouts, but none of them had the ability to find out. Unconsciously, the Tang army completed the entire strategic deployment.

In late March, the Tang Dynasty army returned to the army and gathered from Fuyucheng. In addition to the 5,000 troops from the Tang Dynasty, there were also 50,000 troops integrated by the various countries of Tochar, but Qi Bi Ming also chose it, and eliminated 10,000 people. He was preparing to go out, but at this time he encountered a problem.

Levels outside Gabro.

The city of Gabro is the most important throat to Sestan and Sindhi. Its terrain is very dangerous, surrounded by mountains, forming a natural barrier. Only seven narrow mountain passes lead to Tochar, Sindhi region, Balihei and Jiling City. In addition to the Xibetu Pass, the other six mountain passes will be frozen for three to four months and will not be able to pass barely until February. Especially, it attacks from north to south, because the north spans the Great Snow Mountains (Hindu Kush Mountains), which is more difficult than the great cannibals attacking from south to north.

The vision of the Great Cannibal attracted the Western Front War, and he was a little negligent about the Eastern Front War. Surim only brought 10,000 Daqi soldiers, and later reinforced some of them. In addition, the local troops stationed in the army had only reached 30,000 to 40,000 people. He also had to defend such a long line of defense from Barihe to Herat, and the troops were a little weak. But Surim was not a military idiot like Baschaf, and he could see the importance of Gabrou at a glance.

In Gabrou City, 15,000 soldiers were concentrated for defense. There were also strict levels set up on the seven passes. Each level was built in the most dangerous place on each pass. One man was the pass, and ten thousand men could not open it.

If you want to siege Gabro City and achieve your strategic goal, you must take down the pass in the northeast direction.

Qi Bi Ming generals called for discussion, and Xi Fenglei took the initiative to ask for his life. Then he picked two thousand brave soldiers, most of whom were Tang troops brought by Li Wei from Qinghai. Xi Fenglei was also not confident about the other troops returning to the team. However, for the sake of need, he also selected a small number of Tochar soldiers. Almost one from a hundred, picking out the soldiers who returned to the team from the Tu Yao army.

The first battle was first launched at the Northeast Pass of Gabuluo, but it was even more dangerous than the Battle of Guazhu Mountain.

If you want to reach the northeastern mountain pass of Gabrou, you must cross the western region of the former Xiuxian Governor's Office (Yubin Kingdom) of the Tang Dynasty controlled by the Great Cannibal, and perform a sharp jump tactic. The Kingdom of Nibian also hated the Great Cannibal, and this time he secretly sent an envoy to visit Li Wei.

However, there are also a small number of big cannibals here, as well as the eyes and ears of big cannibals.

Xifenglei made another arrangement, selecting the most elite 150 soldiers, and the 200 brave men selected from Tocharo, led by his nephew Xifengmanping, disguised as merchants, and set out first. The other soldiers were also divided into several teams, using the mountainous terrain of the Kingdom of Jubin, and sneaked into the territory of the Kingdom of Jubin. Then they suddenly met and rushed towards the city of Gabro with lightning speed. After hearing this, the generals stationed in the Kingdom of Jubin, they asked King Jubin to send troops.

King Yubin didn't want to offend the Tang Dynasty, so he pushed him. Xi Fenglei had already left Yubin's country and approached the Great Snow Mountain.

Surim did not relax, but his subordinates relaxed. Anyway, the main attack of the Tang Dynasty was in the direction of the Wuhu River and had nothing to do with him. Therefore, when we received the news that the Tang Dynasty's army had returned, Xifenglei's army was only about 80 miles away from the level.

The five hundred defenders at the level were shocked and sent people to report to Gabro City while preparing to close the city gate.

At this time, Xifeng Manping suddenly pulled out the martial arts weapon from the baggage, and an accident happened. He was originally going to sneak into the level and get in and out, but today there are many business travelers in the past, and they have not yet arrived at the city gate. When they saw the big cannibals wanting to close the city gate, they didn't care.

They all rushed towards the city gate with scimitars in their hands.

All the passing business trips exploded. Xifeng Manping robbed them and reached the city gate. A fierce battle broke out.

The scene was very chaotic, and even the big cannibals could not tell which civilian was the real enemy. They were fervent and they were killed. However, Xifeng Manping was nailed to the city gate tightly, and the city gate was not closed. After nearly two hours of killing, both sides made serious sacrifices. Xifeng Lei led his troops to come before the soldiers of Gabrou City arrived. He immediately rushed into the city, closed the south gate, and prepared to defend. At this time, Surim also led his subordinates to the bottom of the checkpoint. He first sent a scout and inquire. He heard that this was just a lonely army, and he was determined. In order to protect the power of Dashi, he did not send Dashi soldiers to attack the challenge. Instead, he forced Cao Juzha soldiers to attack the challenge as cannon fodder. After four days of attack, the Tang Dynasty army returned to the team and made some sacrifices, but firmly guarded the checkpoint without losing it. Under the wall, the dead bodies of Cao Juzha soldiers who were thrown back to the ground.

Surim was not cautious about this. The more soldiers in Caojuzha Country die, the better. Anyway, it was not killed by us cannibals, but by the people of the Tang Dynasty. Are you looking forward to the arrival of the Tang Dynasty? This is the result you want.

Some even sent more cannon fodder.

But it was precisely because of his actions that the Tang army at the level won the precious four days. On the fifth day, Surim received news that countless Tang dynasty troops were coming to Gabro City. Then he became anxious and launched a real attack.

After three days of attack, it turned out that the defensive weapons prepared by the Great Cannibal were exhausted. They had to bring stones from Guanbei to make stones, cut down the tree stumps and make spears. Finally, they took the attack of the Great Cannibal. On the evening of the seventh day, the level was not lost. The Tang Dynasty army returned to the army. Bo Shanhuo brought five thousand soldiers and rushed here without stopping to replace the Xifenglei subordinates and continued to defend. At this time, the two thousand people under the Xifenglei subordinates were less than 500, and everyone was under the light of varying degrees. The Seifeng Manping, who played the greatest role in Guanzhong, also died heroically in the fierce battle.

But the most difficult time passed. From the afternoon of the next day, the Tang Dynasty army returned to the back and rushed over from behind.

It is not that more than 40,000 troops will return to the army, but that 110,000 troops will return to the army.

Not only did the original Tocharian army return, but there were also the counterfeit army that bypassed the Western Regions. This journey was a bit far away, the road was difficult to walk, and the combat effectiveness was low, but they all came by riding horses. At the beginning, many people could not ride horses, and they polished horses every day, so that they could not do it by pulling bows and shooting arrows on horses. But later, they could barely ride horses and trot along the way without fighting. It took nearly a month before they arrived at Fuyucheng.

This is also an opportunity that cannibalism loses.

Fuyu City was the original capital of Tochar. Because of the invasion of the Great Cannibal, Tochar had to transfer the capital to Ayan City. After the Great Cannibal soldiers pointed here, they could not expand eastward. Moreover, the Tochar area was mostly mountainous areas, which was difficult to manage. So they retreated their troops back to Gabrou City.

This was a serious mistake. In terms of geographical location, Fuyucheng is much more important than Ayan City. Last year, Li Wei led his army to the army and suddenly the general returned to Fuyucheng and seized the opportunity. But at that time, Salem did not care, and even psychologically did not think that Tochar had to take it away. With this time, it would be better to take down the richer and easier-to-manage Hezhong area.

After the two armies met, they also received the news that the pass was taken down. The general returned to the team to do a simple reorganization and set off immediately.

No one expected that among the 110,000 Tang troops, there were 45,000 new recruits who knew nothing. They only saw countless troops returning to the army, divided into several routes, each of which stretched for several miles. No army returning to the army dared to stop them, and successfully arrived at Daxue Mountain and met Xifenglei.

Surim didn't know either. When he heard that more than 100,000 Tang troops had arrived, he was shocked and indeed gave up the level. The general returned to the team and took it back to the city of Gafonro to set up defenses. He also sent people to gallop to the Wuhu River with a fast horse and asked Salem for help.

Chibiming led his troops back to the Gabrou Basin and looked at the city of Gabrou. He had seen a lot of information, but this pool was witnessed by his own eyes. After taking the level, it was still difficult to attack. The tall castle was built on the back of the mountain, and a large amount of grain and martial arts weapons were stored in advance. There was also snow water on the mountain that could be introduced into the city as drinking water. But it was also an ideal place to camp, with a rectangle around it, and there was a huge lake between the castle and the sandy mountains in the south. A small river of Sanhui came from the mountain and flowed to the Gabrou Basin. The mountain was full of lush grass, and there was no need to worry about horses' grass grain.

Only the soldiers had some burden on the food. 110,000 people would consume a lot of food every day. This problem was not important, and it was not long. After surrounding the city of Gabro, he still did not rush to attack the city. First, he dispatched troops and seized the seven passes. He was originally planning to sacrifice some sacrifices, but the Dashi soldiers stationed at the level saw so many Tang troops coming, and each did not resist. Except for one level that fought back, the soldiers from other levels took the initiative to give up the level and fled on horseback. After taking the level, he sent some soldiers to defend and began to order the return of the catapult, tower vehicles, collisions, and ladders.

Looking at the densely packed Tang Dynasty troops returning to the team at the foot of the mountain, and looking at the more siege equipment day by day, Surim sent several scouts, and took advantage of the night to escape, cross the snowy mountain, and urged Salem to send troops to rescue him again. It was only a matter of just letting the scouts bring a word, don't be too late in the Wuhu River, there are only 50,000 Tang Dynasty troops returning to the team. With several favorable opportunities, they did not cross the river south. Here are more than 100,000 troops returning to the team, why is the Wuhu River the main attack direction for the Tang Dynasty troops returning to the team?

The news came to Li Wei earlier than Salem.

Qi Bi Ming was preparing to attack the city. He first asked the new recruits who came this time to pick up some earthen mountains and let them come, bluffing and polishing them. Along the way, he not only trained riding skills, but also trained mutual cooperation. Before siege, they were asked to carry mountains and let them feel the atmosphere of war. After taking down the city of Gabro, they still had to go back and bring food back. I think they could exert their true combat power, at least until the next year. Even when camping, they were stationed in the back camp to prevent the cannibals from launching a counterattack at night, which would cause a collapse under the leadership of these new recruits.

After estimating the time, it was time to reach the temperature. Some of the earthen mountains were as high as the top of the city. Qibi Ming generals called out to attack the city and prepared to attack the city. This time, there was one thing that was the battle for the attack and the fire return medicine. The most terrifying thing was that there was a lot of fire return medicine in his hand, and it was useless whether it was the East or West or the Tang Dynasty army returning to the army. However, this time the capture of Gabro City was the same as the several battles in the Wuhu River before, and it was just an appetizer.
Chapter completed!
