The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Three months passed in a flash, and the Tang Dynasty's 600,000 expeditionary force finally arrived in the Byzantine Empire.

However, the army did not immediately launch an attack on Byzantium, but instead stationed for rest and recuperation. After all, traveling such a long journey was a great drain on the soldiers' energy and physical strength.

After stationing the army, Li Jing first sent the Shadow Guard to sneak into the Byzantine Empire to gather intelligence.

Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure you can fight a hundred battles, this is an eternal military principle. The Tang army knew very little about Byzantium, and it was nothing more than an extremely stupid act to rush to attack based on its strong military strength.

Li Jing and Su Dingfang were excellent generals, so they would not make such a stupid mistake.

Tang army camp, handsome tent.

It has been several days since the army arrived in Byzantium, and the Shadow Guards have been very efficient in their work. In these days, they have been able to spy on a lot of information about the Byzantine Empire.

After reading the information presented by the Shadow Guards, Li Jing frowned and said:"During our march, it seems that the Byzantine Empire has also made sufficient preparations to fight."

Under the strong appeal of the church, the Byzantine Empire A large number of troops have been gathered. Although most of them are composed of ordinary people, they still cannot be underestimated.

Especially in the Opushkin Military District, the gateway to the Byzantine Empire, 80% of the Byzantine Empire's troops are gathered here, and the anti-war sentiment in the country is extremely high. It can be said that all the people are in arms.

However, Li Jing was mentally prepared for this. He never had any idea of ​​​​disparaging the Byzantine Empire, because the Byzantine Empire was also a powerful country, and difficult wars were inevitable.

"Marshal, I think it is not feasible to storm the Opushkin Military District. Opushkin is the gateway to Byzantium. They must have made sufficient preparations here. A hasty attack will only make the army trapped."

Su Dingfang opened his mouth and expressed his opinion.

Gu Shengan also nodded and said:"What General Su said is absolutely true. We should adopt a roundabout strategy and launch a strong attack from other military regions."

This is a fair strategy. Although it is correct, Li Jing shook his head after hearing this and said:"We have an army of 600,000. All movements must be closely watched by the Byzantine Empire. If we attack in a roundabout way, they will definitely discover it and respond in advance. Come here and mobilize the army... huh?"

Li Jing's words suddenly paused, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"What's wrong, Marshal?"

Su Dingfang saw Li Jing stunned there and couldn't help but asked in confusion.

Li Jing came back to his senses, a glint flashed in his eyes, and said with a smile:"It's nothing, I just thought of how to invade Byzantium."

……

……

Opushkin is of great significance to the entire Byzantine Empire. General Heraclius gathered his army here to resist the Tang army. Even he himself came to the Opushkin Military District to supervise the battle.

It has been more than ten days since the Tang army arrived in the Byzantine Empire, but they have been stationed outside the border and have not launched an attack. This made Heraclius very puzzled.

"What on earth is this Tang general trying to do without attacking?"

In the palace, Heraclius paced back and forth, frowning and thinking hard.

In order to fight against the Tang army, he did a lot of homework. He carefully studied the Tang army's battles against the Persian Empire and other three countries, and he had some ideas about the military style of the entire Tang army. Understand.

The Tang Army is definitely not an army that hesitates to attack because the enemy is strong. The three countries that have been destroyed have proven this.

But the Tang Army has arrived for a long time, and if they did not attack at the beginning, they can be considered to be resting, but there is no rest. How many days?

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Heraclius always felt uneasy in his heart.

After thinking for a long time, he asked someone to bring a military map and looked at it repeatedly.

After a moment, he suddenly trembled. , eyes fixed on the territory of the Anadolia Military District.

The defense and military strength of this military district are the weakest among the major military districts, and the importance of geographical location is second only to Opushkin

"Could it be that the Tang Army wanted to attack the Anadolia Military District?!"

Heraclius couldn't help but think, this idea became stronger and stronger in his heart. He immediately stopped hesitating and immediately called his generals and asked:"Has there been any change in the place where the Tang army is stationed these days?"

"There was no change, except that there was a lot less smoke rising from the military camp, and the spies we sent out to patrol rarely encountered their military scouts anymore."

The general replied truthfully.

"broken! Heraclius was shocked and said hurriedly:"Immediately send a team of about 20,000 people to pretend to attack the Tang army to test their strength!""

"yes!"

The general took the order and left.

After the news was passed down layer by layer, within the same day, a general led 20,000 troops out of the city and launched an attack on the camp where the Tang army was stationed from a distance, using methods such as shooting rockets.

But it was strange. Unfortunately, the rockets ignited the Tang Army's barracks, but not many people were seen to put out the fire, as if no one was there. Seeing this, the general directly led the army to attack the Tang Army's barracks. Then they were shocked. The Tang Army's barracks stretched for several miles. The tent was empty, with less than 10,000 troops stationed.

Moreover, after they launched the attack, these soldiers did not fight at all and fled quickly.

After the general reported this information to Heraclius, the latter fell directly Cup, with a ferocious look on his face said:"Send the order immediately! Let all the troops in the military region rush to the Anadolia Military Region!"

He made a mistake in thinking. He paid too much attention to the Opushkin Military District and ignored the defense of other military districts. The Tang Army had secretly made a detour to attack the Anadolia Military District. What was left outside the Opushkin Military District was just a cover-up to deceive them!

Sure enough, On the same day, Heraclius received an urgent report from the Anadolian Military District, saying that it had been attacked by the Tang Army.

This completely confirmed Heraclius's guess. He urgently ordered the 700,000 troops stationed in Opushkin to rush to Aradoli Runner-up area participates in defense

……

……

Hundreds of miles outside the border gate of the Opushkin Military District, hidden in the forest, is the Tang Army Commander’s tent.

"Marshal, General Su Dingfang launched an attack on the Anatolia Military District, and the Byzantine Emperor had rushed to support."

The Shadow Guard reported to Li Jing. After hearing this, Li Jing closed the military book in his hand, raised his head and said with a smile:"The tiger has left the mountain, the time has come!"

"Give me my command and attack Opushkin!"
