Salem did not know that many soldiers in Gala City were fake and could not fight on the battlefield at all. Tochar and Turkic soldiers had limited combat power and individual combat power was OK, but when combined, they became a group of mobs. Otherwise, the Tubo people and the Tang people would not fight as much as they wanted.

As for the tens of thousands of new Tang Dynasty soldiers, they can only say that they can barely ride horses. The real battle is even more problematic. He only saw the number of people. Like Li Wei, he did not know much about the combat effectiveness of both sides. He only heard that the people of the Tang Dynasty were very powerful. The battles in the Wuhu River also proved this point. What does the 100,000 Tang Dynasty troops attacked Gabro City mean? The main attack direction.

Some transfers were made.

So many troops were stationed here, and they had to eat and drink. Many supplies were needed to be sent from the rear every day. So they used people to get out the elite troops. A total of 25,000 people were drawn. In order not to let the Tang Dynasty discover, a large number of Persian soldiers were drawn from the rear, and the 25,000 troops were replaced without anyone noticing.

Then march towards Barry Hei.

This is also a very famous city, divided into upper city and lower city. Upper city is a highland city wall. The low city has a vast area, covering an area of ​​more than four square kilometers, and the circumference of the entire city reaches more than ten miles. It is not as good as the 50 square kilometers of Luoyang City, nor as good as the 60 square kilometers of Moufu City (the 60 square kilometers of Moufu City includes the outer city walls, which is generally smaller than the size of Luoyang City), nor as much as the 80 square kilometers of Chang'an. But it is also the most important city in the Wuhu River.

In the past, this place was once the capital of Daxia, but its name was not Balihei, but Baktra. When Persia expanded, it occupied it and changed its name to Balihei. It was just on the east-west transportation route and its commerce was prosperous. Later, when the Western Turks expanded, the Tiemen Wuhu River and the Persians were divided into the territory of Lower Tochar and was still controlled by the Persians. It was also one of the most eastern cities in Persia. At the end of Persia, it fell into the hands of Tochar. It was also renamed Bobo City, because the Tang Dynasty set up the Lanshi Prefecture, the governor of the Moon, here, a month-class governor's office, also known as the Lanshi City (the history of the Han Dynasty and the history of the Great Food were different, and there was no clear evidence, but the Lanshi Prefecture could not give up such a large city and rebuild a new city as a state capital. Tochar was not so developed, and there were many dense choices of cities. Lao Wu believed that the two cities were the same city, and the names were different).

This march was very similar to the first marching route of Qu Dibo decades later. Qu Dibo went east from Moufu City, but not to Balihe. At that time, Balihe was stationed in some troops in Tochar. It was changed to Tarihan City between Balihe and Melverud. However, Balihe's Dehgan actually came to take the initiative to surrender and greet him because of fear. Then, under the welcome of King Shihanna, he crossed the Uhu River and launched an attack on Yumanguo and Aharun. He had few troops and failed. After returning, he was criticized by his boss Hazaji. However, this expedition allowed Qu Dibo to accumulate experience and lay the foundation for a larger attack later.

The routes are very similar, but the situation is different.

Barry Hei is now in the hands of the cannibals, so he runs straight towards Barry Hei.

There is a great road from Barihei, which reaches Gabrou Salem. He has never read the Chinese military books and battle strategies, but the marching principle is the same. Fuyucheng is not far from Barihei. At this time, there were more than 8,000 large-scale soldiers in Barihei. It was very difficult to attack Fuyucheng. However, more than 20,000 elite troops were supported. At this time, all the troops in Fuyucheng headed south and went to Garroucheng, which was almost half an empty city. This was not very difficult.

But it's not really going to attack.

The loss of Fuyu City will not jeopardize the safety of Tochar. However, the Persian prince, Ni Nishi, lived in the city, and a large amount of supplies from the Tang Dynasty army. Even after taking Fuyu City, you can attack Ayan City to the east, and drive the rear of Tochar. The Tang Dynasty army loses its retreat and becomes an isolated army. The combat power is strong, but if you lose the rear, you will lose the source of food and grass. Salem is very convinced that Karo City can be defended for three months and two months.

Without food and grass, so many troops would collapse. Therefore, the Tang army would inevitably divide the troops back and rescue. It was the idea of ​​this army to rescue the Tang army. It was the feint attack on the city and ambush the Tang reinforcements who came from the middle of the journey. It forced the Tang army to retreat. Then it took the opportunity to mobilize the army and attacked from multiple sides. That is, the plan to surround Wei and save Zhao.

After taking away this group of soldiers, Salem calculated the strength of both sides in the central tent.

He still had nearly 80,000 troops in his hand on the south bank. Although there were not many elite troops, most of them were Persians. The enemy's real elite troops were only 30,000 to 40,000 Tang troops, and hundreds of thousands of new immigrants were all broken. From the beginning, Li Wei led his army to the Western Regions, and Lun Qinling followed up with this news. But if he didn't fight, how could Tubo make a profit? With the current national strength of Tubo, he could no longer launch hundreds of thousands of troops as he did a few years ago. He could only make small profits in exchange for the greatest benefit.

The Tubo people said again: "Even if you didn't think about it at first, why didn't you think about it later?"

"I thought it was an immigrant and the integration of the army in the Hezhong and Tochari region to increase their combat effectiveness, and the people of the Tang Dynasty would retreat. After all, they were far away from the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Regions were in chaos and revived in times of chaos, and the Hezhong and Tochari region."

"Just immigrants? When did the Emperors of the Tang Dynasty leave their Central Plains? April. At that time, Guanzhong was only the beginning of the disaster. Later, the disaster deepened, which made a large number of people move to the Western Regions when they saw no hope. At the beginning, people were ready to make you a big meal."

"Aren't the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty farther away from us? What ability do I have to find out the news about the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty?" Salem was a little angry. What qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson? He lowered his face and said, "You Tubo sent you here, what's the point? Tell me directly."

"Traveling the Tang army, we will personally send troops to the Western Regions. Not only that, Geluo took in Ashina Wenbo the year before yesterday, and they had a close relationship with the newly divided pharyngeal man from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. As long as you lead the Tang army a step further, you can plan them to attack the Western Regions when the troops in Shuye City are empty. Not only does Shuye City have some wealth, but hundreds of thousands of new immigrants outside the city have no combat power, this is also a huge wealth. Then the Tang Dynasty will not only lose the river, but also the Western Regions may also be lost."

"Who is Asuna Wonbo?"

The Tubo envoy opened his mouth, "You don't even know who Ashi Nagudulu is, right?"

I really don’t know that it’s too far away, just like if Li Wei hadn’t sent a large number of scouts, could he know O Gebai, a famous general who was fighting on the battlefield in North Africa?

The Tubo envoy had to explain to him about the riots in the Eastern Turks of the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and even explained the contradiction between the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the Supreme Empress Dowager. Salem clapped his hands and said, "It turns out that there were so many things in the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, but this is only a rare opportunity for you to have a great food. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was in poor health and would not have been able to live long. Once the new emperor had all taken over the power, he would concentrate all the power of the Tang Dynasty to deal with your Da Food. Why would you be so difficult? The real Tang army is only 20,000 to 30,000 people. What would it look like if you dispatched an army of 200,000 and 300,000 troops? At that time, even if you spread your country's strength, you would not be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Besides, you Da Food has a powerful enemy in the West."

Seeing that Salem didn't know much about domestic affairs in the Tang Dynasty, he was intimidated again.

"It was the Byzantines. Are you saying that we should retreat and lead the Tang Dynasty to Khorasan to fight Sestan?"

“That’s right.”

"The winter wheat is ripe. I think how can I move the army back after it is cut?" Salem has been restrained since the war and was a little depressed, otherwise he would not have asked the Tubo people.

Several envoys came from afar and spoke in a good manner after listening to Lun Qinling's words. They themselves had no military talent. After looking at the Wuhu River, they also believed that this strategy was the best. Once the Tang Dynasty army lost food and grass, the deeper the army entered, the more dangerous it was. Great cannibals were not vegetarians.
