Duan Zhixuan was also a famous general. When he heard Tang Ping say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"Hahahaha, Duke Pingguo means that we can do the opposite?"
"That's right." Tang Ping said: "Since there are deserters from the Arab Empire, there must be a nearby city to accommodate them."
"We can completely pretend to be deserters from the Arab Empire who were attacked by the Tang Army. In fact, I just asked my people to follow some deserters from a distance. After we understand the situation of their entry into the city, we can take action."
Duan Zhixuan knew that Tang Ping's drone could be said to be an artifact for obtaining information on the battlefield, so he could only say with envy: "Then I will wait for the good news from Duke Ping."
This Malwa City is too big. If it were to be defended, it would require too many people, so the Tang Dynasty did not regard it as a defensive city.
Instead, all the remaining Tianzhu people in Malava moved to Viramala City.
There used to be more than 50,000 people in Viramala City, but due to the war, only more than 20,000 were left. Nearly 50,000 people were brought here from Malava. Although there were more people than before, it was crowded during this extraordinary period. Just squeeze it.
Tianzhu was not short of food to begin with, so he moved all the food supplies of Malava to Viramala City, which was enough for the people of the city and the Tang garrison to eat for a long time.
After the Malava City was evacuated, Lao Cui and several others sent by Tang Ping also returned.
Lao Cui took a few sips of herbal tea. The climate here was still a little warmer. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "This trip is almost like a wasted trip."
Tang Ping was stunned and asked, "What? Are the nearby cities well-defended?"
If the defense is too tight, it will be difficult to sneak in as an Arab deserter.
"No." Lao Cui shook his head and said with some disdain: "We followed two places, one was Ujayana City and the other was Jamandaluo City. In the end, guess what? The defenders of those two cities just asked them Wherever it comes from, people are put in it.”
Duan Zhixuan said on the side: "As far as I know, the Arab Empire only rose for a few decades. They almost always relied on powerful armies to carry out crushing operations against other regions."
"But when it comes to tactics and art of war..." Duan Zhixuan paused and said rather proudly
Said: "It seems too rough to us!"
This is what they learned from some people who participated in Tianzhu's defense after they captured the two cities.
These Arabs didn't even need to besiege the city or even surround it. They just besieged it from all sides and then fought hard.
In other words, the city wall in Tianzhu is not very good. What if we visit Datang instead? A strong city with sufficient food and grass would last them a long time.
Duan Zhixuan did have the capital to be arrogant. Compared to the Arab Empire, which was only a few decades old, although the Tang Empire was only twenty years old, the wars throughout China had never stopped.
Statistically speaking, since records began, there has never been a period of fifty consecutive years without war in China.
In Tang Ping's history, Datang was even more outstanding. It fought at least 130 foreign wars in a total of 298 years. If you include some domestic rebellions, it can be said that wars occur almost every year!
To talk about a real fighting nation, the Chinese nation is actually a fighting nation worthy of the name.
And the command of war has risen to the level of an art in China.
For thousands of years, war has been played out by people of all dynasties and generations.
The current Tang Dynasty is the master of this art in this era, and Duan Zhixuan is also one of the best, so he naturally scorns the tactics of the Arab Empire.
"In this case, let us take down Jamlandala City again!"
Tang Ping and Duan Zhixuan made the decision, and then directly began to use the clothes, armor and weapons of the defenders of Viramala City and Malava City that they had collected at that time.
These were to be sold to the soon-to-arrive merchant confederation, so no soldiers would throw away the spoils.
Now, you can use it again before selling it, which is a huge profit.
After bringing the people to Jamlandala City, Tang Ping first took the people to the city gate.
The Arab soldiers guarding the city saw that they were all wearing Arab army armor, but their bodies were in tatters and stained with blood, so they naturally asked: "Where are you soldiers from?"
"We are here from Malwa. Those Tang people are too insidious..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go in!"
The Arab soldier pointed inside: "Go over there and turn right at the end. This is your camp."
Tang Ping didn't expect it to be so easy, so he went in with more than thirty people.
Then another group of people came over, this time led by Lao Cui. The Arab soldiers guarding the city still asked casually.
Tang Ping told Lao Cui and the others in the headset: "I'd better ask where you are from?"
Lao Cui and the others had already mastered those few Arabic sentences, and after saying that they were from Malwa, they were let in.
Then in one day, more than 400 people sneaked into the city.
The simple Tang Ping even doubted whether someone had found out and wanted to catch the Duke of Ping in the jar.
In fact, these Arab soldiers were too arrogant. They had hardly lost for decades. Although two cities were captured, in their opinion , that's just because the Tang army used tricks, and the number was several times that of the Arab army.
That's why the Arab army lost. Now they just need to be more vigilant and not fall into the trap again.
I never thought that many of the defeated troops who came here were Datang troops pretending to be soldiers.
The next day, more than 300 people entered the city, and there were already more than 800 Tang troops in the city.
At night, Tang Ping and the others first quietly eliminated a group of patrols, then openly went up to the city wall to change defenses, and let in the army lurking outside the city.
While the defenders of Jamlandala City were still sleeping, the Tang army was already in front of them. Naturally, this night was another one-sided massacre.
In one month, Tang Ping and Duan Zhixuan landed with 25,000 people and captured three cities in the northwest region occupied by the Arab Empire in Tianzhu.
He killed more than 30,000 enemies and suffered less than 1,000 casualties. It was a great victory.
After capturing the city of Jamlandala, as long as the last two border cities of Madara and Satta Nishvara were captured, the entire channel connecting the Arab Empire and the Arab Empire army in Tianzhu would be completely blocked.
Tang Ping and Duan Zhixuan still evacuated Jamlandala City and moved away all the remaining Tianzhu people inside.
This is the tactic of strengthening the wall and clearing the field. They will prevent the defeated Arab army from getting a grain of food when they pass by.
