I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

"Everyone, you are actually thinking about it. In fact, the arrangement of the commander-in-chief just now is not inconsistent. It can even be said that it is precisely because of the latter arrangement that it is a supplement to the previous analysis!"

Su Dingfang, as Zhang Nuo's "disciple" and one of the few people with the highest military rank present, accepted this opportunity of "showing his holiness in front of others" in an open and honest manner.

"You think, those who can become commanders, especially those who have been in battle for a long time, must be suspicious, even if they saw the battle with their own eyes during the day.

However, whether our reality is the same as what he saw during the day, and whether we are acting for him, he is actually skeptical in his heart! "

"Because of this, if the opponent is a qualified commander, he will definitely send a large number of reconnaissance troops to find out our background!"

"If our side relaxes our defense at this time, will the other party think this is a trick? But if, on the other hand, we have scouted back and forth, left, right, left, right, and right for a long time, but the result is that we have lost troops, will the other party think that, in fact Datang is already serious about this battle?"

"And with such an analysis, the battle during the day and the conclusions obtained will be more authentic and credible! This is where the commander-in-chief looks forward!"

Chapter 1018

Su Dingfang's words may be suspected of being flattering, but judging from the results after a period of time, everyone worshiped the handsome Zhang Nuo more and more.

It was exactly the same as what Zhang Nuo predicted before. From that night on, the other party became like a mouse, trying every means to secretly send people here to investigate.

And the soldiers of Datang also strictly followed Zhang Nuo's request, that is to catch as much as possible if they can really catch alive, but they can't do anything, even if the opponent runs a certain distance first, they still have to shoot over with a row of guns. Kill people, and do a full set of plays, not even letting the other party take away the corpse.

This kind of cat-and-mouse play continued for more than ten days, and the opponent also lost hundreds of people, but Zhang Nuo and the officers in the Datang army knew that the effect had already been achieved.

Because the opponent's large troops have already begun to speed up and come here.

After all, there is an eye hanging on the top of their heads to watch, and someone is watching their every move, so they are not afraid of them going astray.

After receiving this news, Zhang Nuo finally breathed a sigh of relief, good guy, he is finally coming here, as long as this wave is over, the country of Persia will basically be abolished.

Population can be increased slowly, wealth can be accumulated slowly, ordnance and camels can be recovered, but only elite officers and veterans, that is, elite soldiers, cannot be produced in a short period of time.

And as long as this army is destroyed here.It can be said that in the next ten years, Persia will never regain its vitality, and the distance between Datang and Persia will also widen.

After all, the current Tang Dynasty can be described as changing with each passing day. Whether it is technology or people's livelihood, it has already embarked on the fast track. Even in the military field, it has accumulated a lot of thought. Anyway, the foundation is solid, and it is already beyond an era. Yes, even if the equipment update is a little slower, it is still a hang.

Therefore, when he heard that the opponent's large army was marching this way in a decisive battle, Zhang Nuo knew that his last expedition was over!

Because there are only two goals for him, one is to demonstrate the military power of Datang, let the other party know that Datang is not something they can provoke, and anyone who stretches out his hand will inevitably be chopped off, and not only chopped off, but also rushed Come to your house and beat you up.

And another purpose is to set up a base for future conquests and build a bridgehead.

Obviously, once such a large main force in the Persian Empire was really destroyed by Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo had already achieved his goal when he set out when the Byzantine Empire was out of reach.

And thinking of the importance of this battle, even salted fish such as Zhang Nuo became active, not only arranging troops on the map and sand table, but also taking the initiative to start field visits.

The reason why Zhang Nuo is so active is actually to complete his meritorious service in one battle, to establish Datang's prestige in one battle, and to set a good start for Datang's future global conquest.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a trip to Datang for myself, and to finish in front of the public. For a soldier, it is worthwhile in this life to be able to fight such a battle in a foreign country as a coach.

As a result, the soldiers who had been constantly shifting from the front line to rest suffered, and once again turned into hard-working excavators, and began a long career in fortification construction.

This time what they want to dig is not just the "small projects" around the town. What they have to do is to bypass the current main position and quietly move to the two sides of the original battlefield to station. square position.

Of course, the position here is only a defensive position, used to protect the camp on this side.

They will not simply think that the other party is a fool, and they will not be suspicious if they dig a position under the other party's nose, that is rubbing the other party's IQ on the ground.

Therefore, this camp and position are actually preparations for the upcoming war. At that time, they will start from the camp and go straight to the enemy's flanks, and completely lock the opponent into a cage from both sides. .

For this reason, Zhang Nuo also divided the most "precious" heavy artillery units brought on this expedition into two and assigned them to the flanking units on both sides of the battlefield.

This method is typically used to further exploit Datang's firepower advantage, and beat the opponent to death in one step.

Zhang Nuo's firepower arrangement this time can be described as frenzied. The naval fleet in the rear is fully covered with firepower, and the heavy artillery regiments on both sides are flanking. Together with the empty court troops in the sky to bombard and cut off the back road, this heavy firepower alone has already surrounded the opponent.

In fact, this is just using technology and family background to cheat people. Not to mention, it is just crushing the situation. Anyway, there is no need to hide it.

Anyway, after this fight, Zhang Nuo can return to the court as his idle prince, so why keep these shells for food?

The main force of Persia here will be wiped out, so there is nothing to say, just do it.

Moreover, Zhang Nuo has already made the follow-up arrangements. At that time, he will bring back [-]% of the main force, and start building the base here and gradually expand the sphere of influence for the rest.

And after the rest of the returning troops, they will continue to rotate with the troops here in the ratio of half new and half old, so that the veterans can go back to rest, and at the same time let the recruits feel the taste of performing missions in foreign countries. And see the fireworks on the battlefield.

Of course, the intensity of the war here is definitely not as strong as that on the Indochina Peninsula, but at least you can see the new terrain and climate, right?

After all the arrangements were made, Zhang Nuo waited quietly in the camp for the arrival of the large enemy army. According to his plan and previous arrangements, he was almost [-]% sure that the enemy would come in a wave and directly suppress the army. , Using the sea of ​​people tactics to completely submerge this newly built small city.

And he was waiting for this opportunity.

Time passed quietly, and with the news from the reconnaissance troops, the opponent finally marched to the gate of Datang and began to prepare for war.

And Zhang Nuo also gave an order to let everyone start to prepare for God Dadan, waiting for the other party to come to the door.

Zhang Nuo was also fully armed this time. Not only did he put on his marshal uniform, but he also put on armor, which only senior coaches in Datang are qualified to wear.

It can be said that Zhang Nuo, from himself to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, has made all the preparations, just waiting for this opportunity, everything!military!out!hit!

Chapter 1019 Fire Coverage

As a civilization developed in Mesopotamia, the Persian Empire is actually much longer than the Tang Dynasty in terms of history. After all, the Tang Dynasty is just a new empire.

But when it comes to the relationship between the two civilizations, the Great Tang crushes all dissatisfaction.

The reason why I want to say this is that after the arrival of the main force of the Persian Empire this time, they did not simply organize the troops and immediately go into battle as before. Instead, they began to manufacture siege equipment in situ in the distant camps.

As an empire that has fought countless battles, things like siege engines are actually not rare. Although there are no Mohists and no public losers here, don't underestimate a civilization with a long history. When wars need these When learning something, they can always burst out with unimaginable wisdom.

Zhang Nuo did not take this opportunity to overwhelm the country with an army.

To be honest, Datang will definitely win this battle!

However, Zhang Nuo not only wants to win, but also has to leave something for the soldiers of Datang.

If the pre-war analysis and planning are to broaden the horizons of the officers.Well, this time is to let them know what is the real battlefield.

The battlefield is not a child’s play, it’s not just talking on paper, it’s really a desperate effort, maybe knowledge, thinking, perspective, etc. can be learned through books, but there is only one thing that can only be learned on the battlefield, and that is the kind of bloody battle The bloodiness to the end, this kind of thing, you can only experience it on the battlefield.

Zhang Nuo now intends to let these young Tang military officers and ordinary soldiers truly experience the scene of hundreds of thousands of troops fighting each other on a battlefield.

Only after such training can they be regarded as a truly qualified soldier!

The previous battles were too petty, always a bit petty, and I didn't realize the urgency of the arrow on the string, let alone the crisis of the knife on the neck.

But on this kind of battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people are crowded together, hehe, the feeling of losing their lives at any time will make them think of everything in an instant.

This is Zhang Nuo's last lesson for them, and it can be regarded as an confession to the young officers of the Datang military who have always admired and supported him. At the same time, he is also doing his part for the fresh blood of the Datang military.

Six days later, the preparations for the Persian Empire were finally completed. Although the temporary siege they built looked crude and shabby, and some parts had not even been cleaned of bark, this did not hinder the power of these equipment. Military things , this is based on practicality.

And as the entire 20 troops lined up in a neat phalanx and began to advance towards the Datang camp, even Zhang Nuo, the "veteran", was a little nervous at this time.

This is not fear, but a human instinctive reaction to such a situation.

Zhang Nuo was like this, let alone other people. To put it bluntly, if the commanders on the front lines were not rational and psychologically sound, the soldiers on the front lines would have been so nervous that they would have shot straight away.

However, it is useless to say anything at this time. For the generals of the Tang Dynasty, the battle is life or death, and the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road!

With the enemy's army pressing down on the border, Cao Xing hurried over to persuade Zhang Nuo with sweat on his forehead. He wanted Zhang Nuo not to stand on the top of the wall.

He felt that the enemy was more dangerous than Zhang Nuo charging in person. After all, he was very clear about Zhang Nuo's force value. It's absolutely fine if you're caught in a tight siege.

But standing on the top of the city is different now, the opponent has siege equipment, although according to the situation detected by the reconnaissance team, the opponent's trebuchet prepared very little ammunition.

But as long as that thing is smashed down, is there anyone who can resist it? After all, that thing is used to attack the city wall.

But Zhang Nuo glanced at him, and didn't bother to say anything. In the end, he was really annoyed by Cao Xing's nagging, kicked him angrily, and said impatiently,

"How can you say that you are also a veteran in the army, why can't you use your brain, the opponent has already dispatched siege equipment, don't we just watch it like this? Don't you know that our artillery has a better range than that stupid thing? times?"

"I know how to persuade me to hide. I'm hiding. The commander-in-chief of the first army actually hid during the war. What do other people think of me? Shut up and go away, worry about it!"

Cao Xing lost his temper after Zhang Nuo gave him a straight-forward meal, so he walked to the side and squatted obediently.

Zhang Nuo didn't bother to pay attention to this idiot anymore. He knew that this was actually Cao Xing's responsibility, but it was messy if he cared about it.

At this time, all his thoughts are on the battlefield in front of him, all the actors and props are already in place, and even the "script" is written by himself as a great director, so the effect depends on this It's a game.After all, there is no repeat here!

Standing beside Zhang Nuo was not a staff corps, except for a few guards, the others were all communication soldiers, responsible for conveying Zhang Nuo's orders and reporting relevant information.

At this time, the person in charge of contacting the reconnaissance troops and surveying and mapping is constantly passing on information,

"500 meters!"

"400 meters!"

"300 meters, the enemy began to set up siege equipment!"

Hearing this, Zhang Nuo immediately gave the first order in a deep voice,

"Navy preparations, target the enemy's middle and rear, full firepower coverage, execute immediately..."

As soon as the order was issued, the communications officer in charge of contacting the navy immediately picked up the military telephone arranged by Zhang Nuo and repeated the order loudly.

"Navy preparations, target the enemy's middle and rear, full fire coverage, execute immediately! Repeat, navy preparations, target the enemy's middle and rear, full fire coverage, execute immediately!"

After the navy received and confirmed the order, it immediately conveyed the order, and directly decomposed and communicated the coordinates to each ship based on the clearly mapped war zone distribution map.

And the gunners who had been standing at each gun position for a long time, showed a more rigorous and rapid attitude than usual training, directly followed the drill code, and shouted the command three times, five times and two divisions, and the adjustment was in place. The main gunner directly grasped the firing. Rod, awaiting the final order.

When the "fire" sound of the deputy commander of the naval fleet reached everyone's ears through the messenger, it was almost a conditioned reflex, and all the gunners pulled the firing lever almost at the same time.

Then, it was dawn.

The troops of the Persian Empire, who are still advancing steadily and are about to enter the attack process, have no idea what they are about to face. This may be the first time in many years that Datang has used full firepower from sea, land and air to defeat a complete army head-on. Coincidentally, they ran into them.

Chapter 1020 Complete Destruction

In the thinking of the Persian Empire troops, Datang is stronger than them because it has a better and more powerful fleet, so it can send troops thousands of miles to Persia.

At the same time, Datang was a little stronger than Persia in terms of personal armament, but the strength was limited. According to their inspection of the soldiers injured in the last battle, Datang's new type of "crossbow arrow" that fired projectiles was actually a It can be prevented.

For this reason, they gathered all the heavy armor they could find at the front of the phalanx, and hurriedly made a batch of heavy shields, all of which were handed over to the strongest soldiers in Persia.

And a promise was given that no matter whether they survived or not, their family members would receive preferential treatment and rewards, and the priests would bless them.

It can be said that they faced this battle with the intention of winning. They wanted to let Datang know that in front of the strong physique, heavy armor and shields of Persian warriors, those so-called new weapons were just a joke. .

But when they walked forward slowly step by step with heavy steps, and were about to reach the front of Datang's position, preparing to teach the people of Datang a lesson, they suddenly heard bursts of sharp whistling sounds from the sky.

Then, they saw an extremely magnificent scene, balls of fire, like the wrath of the gods to punish the world, crossed the entire sky from the direction of the sea, passed over their heads with sharp whistling and flames, and then fiercely It landed in the middle of their army formation.

And this was just the first wave. As the navy launched the highest level of continuous bombardment, Zhang Nuo's orders also spread to the heavy artillery units on the two wings.

As a result, the screams became more intense on the already scary battlefield.

On the entire battlefield, it was as if a pot of boiling oil had been poured into a ladle of cold water, as if it was exploding everywhere, and the remains of severed limbs were constantly swaying towards the sky and surroundings along with the black soil.

The soldiers of the Persian Empire were completely dumbfounded at this time. They really didn't expect to encounter such a situation today. Didn't they say that only personal weapons are different, and they will retreat if they fight a tough battle? What is it that hailstones usually hit?

The world of the entire battlefield seems to have been brought to the world by hell. There are tragedies everywhere, and there is no other hope in sight. It seems that the Persian soldiers are wrong no matter which way they go, even if they stand at the back of the phalanx The soldiers are not feeling well at this time.

They don't have shells to wash the ground here, but they are even worse. Other places on the battlefield are just relying on luck to fry fish. The opponent can't see them at all. They can only adjust slowly through feedback from the scouting troops, but they are different here. , A large group of airships had gathered above their heads at this time, staring at the place where they gathered together, but they were dropping bombs vigorously.

Don't blame this group of people for being ruthless, it's because they were suffocated.

Speaking of which, their training intensity and investment are not less than other troops, but due to their convenience and air superiority, a good combat unit can only be used as a reconnaissance unit, and can only be watched from the sky. With the attitude of not making any noise, you have to be careful even when you make a sound.

But as a soldier, who doesn't yearn for military merits, who doesn't want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?

It's not easy to wait for such an opportunity to finally fully fire, so it's still necessary to kill.

Then the army of the Persian Empire was completely chaotic.

In their eyes, there is nowhere to escape in the whole world. Looking around, no matter where they go, there is an explosion, and no matter where they look, it seems to be hell.

Then, they collapse.

And Zhang Nuo also knew that it was time to reap this victory, so he directly ordered,

"Army attack!"

The soldiers who had been holding back in the trenches and on the two wings for a long time, after hearing this order, immediately rushed out like little leopards who had taken medicine, holding guns and bayonets.

Mom sells batches, if you don't go out again, the opposite side will almost be killed by heavy firepower, can't the brothers make a fortune?

So, at Zhang Nuo's order, these bastards who have been holding back for a long time, how can they think that the danger ahead is not dangerous, and rushed out with their guns pointed.

However, even if it was the blood-boiling charge, they didn't forget that they were trained like grandsons in the army, and now they have become muscle memory shots.

Raise the gun, aim, shoot, and charge. After charging a short distance, raise the gun again, aim again, shoot again, and charge again, and so on.
