The Human Emperor Chapter 850: Incredible countermeasures! [Five more]
Chapter 850
Unlike the Battle of the Southwest, this war does not have as many civilian casualties and will not involve such a large scale, but it determines the ownership of the Western Regions and the fate of the entire Empire. Wang Chong knows something different from Feng Changqing. The influence of this war is much more scary than everyone knows.
This war, even the influence of the entire Central Plains and Great Tang, is far from comparable. Because he decides not the moment, or the gain or loss of one side, but the future luck of the entire Central Plains Divine Province. When a male lion loses his sharp minions, he enters the twilight of old age, and when a Empire loses active expansion and aggressiveness, it also enters old age from young people. Since then, he has been keen on internal fighting and cannibalism. It's hard for everyone to imagine!
Wang Chong has witnessed it firsthand, knowing the kind of confusion, so Wang Chong must not allow Great Tang to fall into that position anyway!
Wang Chong is no less urgent than Feng Changqing for this battle, but Wang Chong knows no matter how urgent it is, now is definitely not a good time to send troops.
Neither you nor Qixi Protectorate General is far from ready. In this situation of not being fully prepared, he rushed into the army, not only could not help Gao Xianzhi and Anxi Protectorate Army, but in the end, he would be trapped by himself, sending Qixi Protectorate Army and Wushang Heavy Cavalry to the dead.
History already changed. In the previous life, Anxi Great Protectorate Gao Xianzhi marched thousands of miles, lost Talas city by a margin of error, and finally fell into the wilderness without cover. It was attacked by Caliphate Empire's army in turn. Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, it defeated Talas The wilderness of the city.
But now all already is different. Gao Xianzhi successfully entered the city of Talas, occupying the first opportunity and having a geographical advantage. With the strength of Gao Xianzhi Empire Great General, plus more than 30,000 elite troops, and the help of tens of thousands of Mercenary(-ies), it is definitely not too difficult to relatively resist the Caliphate army in the wilderness.
Gao Xianzhi's Military Dao talent is unquestionable, and the more than 30,000 Anxi's elite strength is also proud of the entire Empire. At that time, under the circumstances of losing the opportunity and geographical advantage, Gao Xianzhi was still survive for nearly a month, and now with the help of Talas City, and survive for two months, it is not a problem at all.
This is the real reason why Wang Chong decided not to send troops for the time being.
"Yes! Lord Marquis!"
Xu Keyi immediately took his lead.
"Li Siye."
When Xu Keyi left, Wang Chong turned his gaze and looked at His Royal Highness Li Siye.
"humble general is here!"
Li Siye is out on the line immediately.
"What happened to Wootz Steel? Did Alona and Aroga have any reminders? Still no news?"
Wang Chong asked.
Wootz Steel is the most concerned thing for Wang Chong, and it is also the most urgent issue now. If there are no accidents, 10,000 Caliphate Empire's most elite Mamluk Legion is preparing for the border. In the history known by Wang Chong, Mamluk Legion is known as the uncrowned king, and it is the true strongest Heavy Cavalry before the end of the world.
Their excellent equipment and powerful combat capabilities are unimaginable to everyone. And from the moment they were born, they were trained for killing, which was a real war machine. Although Wushang Heavy Cavalry already is very powerful, but it is not equipped with Wootz Steel Sword and Spatial Meteorite Iron armor, Wushang Heavy Cavalry is far from its peak state.
The battlefield of Talas brings together the most powerful armies of Empire, the cold blood and cruelty of war, which will be far more terrifying than everyone imagines.
Wang Chong will never allow the Wushang Heavy Cavalry, which has been painstakingly operated, to rush to the battlefield before it is fully formed, meaningless burial there.
"There is news from already on Lord Marquis and Sindhi. Alona and Aroga replied that High Priest already agreed that Liu Qianjun Hyderabad Ore already is all ready to take away. However, there is a problem now, Talas is now In the state of war, the road already from Sindhi to Central Plains was cut off. Their already had no way to transport Hyderabad Ore along the normal road. "
Li Siye flood channel.
"wēng!"
With the words of Li Siye, the whole hall showed a tense look. The news of Talas City completely disrupted the rhythm of everyone, and everyone ran around this news frantically. Everyone has their own arrangements, just like different parts on a machine, each with their own responsibilities.
The news mentioned by Li Siye was unknown to everyone before, but everyone knows the importance of Wootz Steel.
Wang Chong frowned, and suddenly came down from the throne.
Talas's War, Caliphate People and Anxi Protectorate Army are still in confrontation, but some Effect already are revealed. High Priest of Sindhi is obviously worried about this unprecedented war, what will be unfavorable influence for this huge transaction worth six million taels of gold.
Wang Chong's previous generosity also began to show Effect. So far, among all the trading objects of Hyderabad Ore, Wang Chong is worthy of being the largest gold owner. And the help to Sindhi is also the biggest. This loss High Priest cannot bear.
That's why the six thousand Hyderabad Ore is ready so quickly.
But things are far from smooth. The battle between Gao Xianzhi and Abu * has cut off the Hyderabad Ore transport channel. At this time, hastily transported, but will be intercepted by Caliphate Empire halfway.
Da! Oh!
Wang Chong's footsteps echoed throughout the hall, the footsteps were heavy, as if stepping into the hearts of everyone. With the steps of Wang Chong's, everyone's eyes slowly looked at the only sand table in the hall. Looking at the city symbolizing Talas in the middle of the sand table, everyone had a strange feeling indescribable.
This sand table was made by Wang Chong before the war broke out, and under the eyes of everyone, already appeared for a long time. But no one realized what this sandbox meant, until this moment.
"Lord Marquis! The channel between Central Plains and Sindhi has indeed been cut off. I sent a lot of scouts and Rock Eagles in the already. Near Talas, there are Caliphate People military force(s) everywhere. I am already checked, between things, Silk Road All business trips already are blocked. Including the business trips of Caliphate People, already stopped all activities. The passage between east and west is indeed cut off already, it is impossible for us to pass through there.
Zhang Que rested on the shoulder of the rock eagle, looking at the undulating terrain and mountains on the sand table, and said respectfully behind Wang Chong.
Wang Chong frowned, looking down at the sand table in front of him, without speaking. On this sand table, all the mountains, rivers, and channels are marked clearly. This is a combination of a large number of scouts, which took a lot of time, and used various methods to describe it in detail.
As Zhang Que said, the terrain of Talas City is very special. This used to be the junction of business travel between the East and the West. When it got into a war here, the Silk Road was also cut off, and there was no longer a passage between them. Even if Sindhi promised Wang Chong Liuqianjun Hyderabad Ore, it couldn't be shipped at all.
"No!"
Wang Chong's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said.
"The channel has not been cut off, there is another channel between Great Tang and Sindhi!"
"Ah!"
Everyone was surprised when they heard Wang Chong's.
"How is it possible? I have checked, all business travel already have ceased to communicate with each other, it is impossible to have other channels!"
Zhang Que said in surprise.
It's not that he didn't believe the Wang Chong's words, but he was exhausted during this time, already spent a lot of material and manpower, trying to find another channel, but all failed. In addition, the businessman has heavy profits. If there is another channel, he may not know it, but these businessmen may not know it.
The hall was quiet, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Chong.
"Oh!"
Wang Chong didn't say much, just took a small red flag and inserted it in an inconspicuous place on the sand table. Everyone was stunned when they saw the red flag falling, Zhang Que opened his eyes suddenly, his mouth widened, and he couldn't say a word.
U-Tsang Plateau!
No one expected that the small flag of Wang Chong's was actually inserted into the chassis of U-Tsang Empire. He actually wanted to use U-Tsang to transport Liuqianjun Hyderabad Ore. This kind of thinking is so wild that even bold people dare not imagine it.
"It doesn't matter if Silk Road is truncated, Li Siye, inform Sindhi, tell them from the north of Sindhi, the way is big and small, through U-Tsang Empire, let them ship Liu Qianjun Hyderabad Ore! In addition, you bring two thousand Wushang Heavy Cavalry, Borrowing big and small rhythms, coping deeply! "
Wang Chong cuts the railroad.
"Yes! Lord Marquis!"
Li Siye said without hesitation. He never doubted Wang Chong's's decision.
Behind them, the people in the hall were still immersed in a strong shock, but gradually, as if they understood something, one by one they showed a thoughtful look. Take the north of Sindhi and transport Hyderabad Ore through the big and small bows and U-Tsang Plateau. This is a passage that no crazy businessman can even imagine.
The reason is simple. This road is not only rugged, but also passes the most dangerous U-Tsang Empire site. U-Tsang Empire's Heavy Cavalry not only robs Longxi, but also robs merchants from east to west. One of the important reasons why Great Tang established Protectorate General in Qixi and dispatched troops is to prevent the plunder of U-Tsang Empire.
No merchant is crazy enough to deliver the goods to the robber's place.
But the battle of Triangle Jag completely changed the structure of Qixi. Dayan Mangbojie died and Dusong Mangbuzhi fled. The entire U-Tsang Plateau northbound already did not have any military force(s) and could threaten the Wang Chong's plan.
Wang Chong's seems to be bold, but it is the most appropriate!
Gradually, more and more people in the hall came to understand, looking at Wang Chong one by one, their eyes were full of admiration. If it wasn't for Wang Chong's initiative to launch the Triangle Jag campaign and cleared U-Tsang's military force(s) in the entire northern border, this road is definitely not existence. Remembering that before the Talas war broke out, Wang Chong made a sandbox with there as its core. It is hard to think of whether Wang Chong had already foreseen all this with already, so it was prepared in advance to launch the war.
