Chapter 364 Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

The news of the sudden appearance of millions of Tang troops hit Turhong's mind like a bolt from the blue, making him unable to accept it at all.

I saw the Abbasid dynasty's Eastern Expedition general who had just put on a traditional Arab white robe and had his thick beard carefully trimmed by his servants. He was preparing to board the Princess City of Uihe as a victor and personally plant the flag of the Arab Empire. Turhun;

Not even caring about the majesty of the general and the reserve of the superior, he rushed outside the tent in three steps and roared at the panting messenger: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

"The reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty were only a thousand cavalry. How could there be an extra million troops overnight?"

In anger, Turhong grabbed the order soldier's shirt, his bloodshot eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he continued to roar with a ferocious expression: "In other words, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all birds with wings. Can people fly out of thin air and fall from the sky? "

"But even if the army of the Tang Dynasty were flying birdmen, how could one million birdmen flying out of thin air escape the detection of my Arab Empire army?"

After saying that, Turhon threw the soldier who was holding him by the collar and almost strangled to the ground. He completely ignored the frightened, frightened and stunned eyes of the latter, and then stood guard outside the big tent. The guard soldier on duty pulled out a sharp scimitar and placed it on the neck of the orderer;

He scolded sternly: "Tell me, who asked you to spread this rumor in the Empire's Eastern Expedition Army?"

"Otherwise, I will kill you immediately!"

At this time, Turhun was no longer the confident general of the Eastern Expedition who was in the palace of the Arabian Empire before the Eastern Expedition. Instead, he looked like a gambler at the gambling table who was red-eyed after losing. A lunatic.

Seeing that after the empire's Eastern Expeditionary Army paid a huge price in casualties, they could immediately unify the Western Region;

At this time, he suddenly came to tell him that the million-strong army of the Tang Dynasty not only attacked the food routes of the Imperial Eastern Expedition Army in the Western Regions, but also surrounded the Imperial Eastern Expedition Army in the Uighur Khanate, intending to annihilate them all;

Whether this news is true or false, it is unacceptable to Turhon!

That's why he treated this messenger so rudely.

"General, General, General, what the General said is true!"

Although, under the threat of the sharp full-moon scimitar in Turhon's hand, the messenger who knelt down to beg for mercy was trembling all over, trembling and speechless;

However, at a critical juncture that was related to the life and death of the Imperial Eastern Expedition Army, the messenger soldier still had to bite the bullet and replied: "This news, this news is the surviving imperial messengers from Wusun, Chesha, Xiye, Pishan and other countries. The soldiers risked their lives to bring back the news;"

"If the general doesn't believe it, he can immediately summon the messengers who just came from the front line!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Even though this messenger told Turhong that the source of this news was just returned from the front lines of Wusun, Chesha, Xiye, Pishan and other countries, he still could not convince Turhong.

No wonder, even any general in the Arab Empire would not believe this news, let alone Turhun.

The Tang Dynasty dispatched a million-strong army to attack the Arab Empire's food routes in the Western Regions, and also sent a large army to reinforce the Huihe Khanate. What was the probability of a million-strong army?

Take the Arab Empire's Eastern Expedition as an example. It took the 800,000-strong army in the first two months to cross the Pamir Plateau from the territory of the Arab Empire and reach the Talas area in the Western Region. And it was with the support of King Wusun. After that, he quietly lurked in the Western Region.

But now, looking at the entire Western Region, except for the Uighur Khanate, the other thirty-five countries have all surrendered to the Arab Empire. The Western Region has already been filled with scouts, spies, spies and informants from the Arab Empire;

The movements of the Tang army, which numbered thousands of horses, were carefully discovered by Turhong's spies, and their movements were reported to the general in a timely manner at any time, let alone the mobilization of millions of troops.

The mobilization of such a large-scale army, the formulation of marching routes, the supply of food, grass and baggage supplies in various places along the way, the order and cooperation between the various marching teams, are definitely not things that can be completed overnight, and how can they escape? Can he defeat Turhong's meticulous craftsmen and eyeliners all over the Western Regions?

Just like what Turhong said just now, even if these millions of Tang troops are bird-men with wings, able to fly out of thin air and drop magical weapons from the sky, it is absolutely impossible not to leave any traces.

Unless, there is a wizard in the army of the Tang Dynasty who can "spread the beans and make an army".

Otherwise, it would be impossible to create millions more Tang troops out of thin air!

However, Turhong, who calmed down, also knew that even if he had the courage of the eight hundred messengers under his command, they would not dare to make up such lies to deceive him.

The only possibility is that the 100,000 Anxi Iron Army of the Tang Dynasty stationed in the cities of Shule and Khotan, and the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty (South and North Prefectures) were mobilized;

In order to disrupt the morale and deployment of the Imperial Eastern Expeditionary Army under his command, he deliberately spread false news about the millions of Tang troops, in order to confuse the public and disrupt the Imperial Eastern Expeditionary Army's position.

Turhong came back to his senses and asked sternly again: "It is absolutely impossible for the Tang Dynasty to mobilize a million troops to march to the Western Regions overnight. It must be that the imperial army staying behind was attacked by a small group of Tang troops and then surrendered." A mess, right?"

"The slogan of the Tang army reinforcements is a million-strong army, but it is just a pretext to confuse the army of our empire on the eastern expedition!"

"Is that true?"

"General--"

The messenger's voice was filled with tears!

He saw with his own eyes the miserable state of the messengers who rushed back from Wusun, Chesha, Xiye, Pishan and other countries to report the news. He knew that this could not be a move by the Tang army to confuse the audience, but that there were indeed so many Tang troops.

Otherwise, how could the 200,000 imperial troops in the rear be wiped out by the Tang army overnight?

The messenger said with tears in his eyes: "General, this news is absolutely true, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible!"

"Report--"

"General, it's bad, a large number of Tang cavalry are approaching our empire's eastern expedition army from different directions!"

Suddenly, Caesar, Turhong's deputy general, rushed into the central army tent in a hurry, and said breathlessly: "General, the number of Tang, Tang cavalry is too large, and the scouts responsible for vigilance have no time to count;"

"General, we must make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise once the Tang cavalry approaches our rear, our army will be passive!"

"General Caesar, do you know what you are talking about?"

Huh?

Turhong's expression froze, and he stared at his deputy general Caesar with a ferocious face, and roared word by word: "This general said that this is impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
