The ninth son of the emperor was demoted at the beginning. I have a famous Chinese general.

Chapter 375: The Army Headed to Daqin

Oldenburg, the capital of the Arab Empire.

This is where the Arab imperial palace is located.

King Philip III of the Arab Empire sat on the throne with a solemn expression.

He had heard the news from the border.

The 800,000-strong army of the Daqian Empire marched into the northern province of the Arab Empire in two directions.

One of the routes was led by Yue Fei and the other by Bai Qi.

No one dared to stop the 800,000-strong army, which quickly swept across the northern provinces.

Hassan, the governor of the northern province, led his army to stop them, but ended up in a miserable defeat.

Hassan fled back to Srinagar, the capital of the northern province, and prepared to hold the city.

"Damn Daqian, damn it!" Philip cursed angrily.

"Your Majesty, the northern province is now in danger. I suggest sending troops to support it immediately, otherwise it will be too late." said Adlu, the commander of the Royal Guard.

Although Hassan was defeated, he still had an army of over 100,000.

The city of Srinagar has high walls and thick defenses, and is backed by an army of over 100,000.

As long as they can hold on for a while, they can wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"The enemy has 800,000 troops and is divided into two groups. Even if we help Sri Lanka, what about the other group?" Philip asked.

"Of course, we must also fight the other army. Your Majesty, I will lead one of our troops to support Hassan. Your Majesty, please select another person to fight the other enemy army."

"Your Majesty, in order to deal with the threat from Daqian, we have also been actively preparing for the past two years. Our soldiers are no less than those of Daqian."

"If we can take this opportunity to annihilate Daqian's 800,000-strong army, Daqian will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Maybe we can even take advantage of the situation to counterattack." Adel continued.

Philip frowned slightly, considering the pros and cons of this statement in his mind.

Easily said, fight back.

It would be good enough if he could drive Daqian out of the Tang Dynasty. Others may not know Daqian's strength, but he doesn't?

Three attacks, three complete defeats.

The key is that Daqian has terrifying explosives.

But he couldn't say this, otherwise it would affect morale, and he also had to fight.

"Okay, General Adel, I order you to lead an army of 300,000 to support Hassan."

"General Lux, you will lead an army of 500,000 to fight the other enemy force."

"Remember to check carefully when setting up camp and be careful of the enemy placing explosives. We have suffered losses from this more than once."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" they both said in unison.

"Go ahead." Philip waved his hand.

"I'll take my leave." The two men left.

"Your Majesty, if you deploy an army of 800,000, we will only have 300,000 men left. To be cautious, I suggest you recruit more soldiers and consider asking Persia for help."

After Adlu and the other two left, Prime Minister Balaf stood up and made a suggestion.

"Well, what you said makes sense, then order the conscription."

"Also, immediately send an envoy to Persia to request Persia to send troops for assistance." Philip nodded.

"Your Majesty is wise and wise. I will do it right away."

Balav bowed and said.

………………

On the other side, Yue Fei was in the military tent.

"General, our scouts have confirmed that the enemy has retreated to Srinagar City with all their might and is currently constructing fortifications. There are approximately 130,000 to 140,000 defenders in the city."

"The scouts also reported that Srinagar is very large and its defenses are very strong. The walls are twelve meters high and at least eight meters thick," the deputy general reported.

"Well, I know the situation in Srinagar City." Yue Fei nodded.

Half a year ago, he had personally conducted reconnaissance deep into the Arab Empire and was well aware of the strength of Srinagar City.

"But what if it's strong?"

"They must not know how many artillery pieces we have. I want to see how this city can withstand the artillery bombardment."

A hint of coldness appeared at the corner of Yue Fei's mouth.

"Pass on the general's order!"

"The entire army must advance at an accelerated pace and reach Srinagar within ten days."

"Yes!" The deputy general immediately went down to convey the order after receiving it.

At the same time, Bai Qi's troops, five hundred miles away, had just captured the city of Feizabad, which was less than three hundred miles away from the capital of Kunshi.

Kunshidu is another important city in the northern province of the Arab Empire. It is the hub of the entire northeastern direction of the Arab Empire and its geographical location is very critical.

Taking Kunshidu would cut off the connection between the northern and eastern provinces of the Arab Empire, which would be very beneficial to the subsequent war situation.

The defense of Kunshi City was equally difficult, with high walls and thick walls.

But the difference is that there are not many defenders in the city.

The garrison was transferred to Hassan and Srinagar.

"General, we received a message from the scouts that the Arabs have sent reinforcements. The reinforcements are divided into two routes. One route with 500,000 soldiers is rushing towards us, and the other route with 300,000 soldiers is rushing towards Srinagar." The deputy general came to Bai Qi and reported.

"Five hundred thousand, haha!"

"How long will it take them to arrive?"

Hearing this, Bai Qi sneered and asked.

"About twenty days," the deputy general replied.

"Twenty days? That's about enough."

"Order the army to advance towards Kunshidu at full speed. We must capture Kunshidu within half a month."

Bai Qi shouted in a deep voice.

"As ordered!"

Bai Qi led his army and quickly rushed to Kunshidu.

At the same time, in the Daqian Palace.

"The Arabs dispatched an army of 800,000? That's a lot of people." Ning Quan said while looking at the sand table with a smile.

"It's quite a lot, but they have made a lot of preparations in the past two years, so it's not surprising." Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Is Your Majesty a little worried?" Liu Bowen asked, looking at the sand table.

"I am a little worried, but I still believe in the abilities of Generals Yue Fei and Bai Qi."

"What's more, we have new cannons." Ning Quan replied with a smile.

"So, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry at all. Our army will surely win this battle."

"What we have to do now is to be prepared to take over the Arab Empire at any time." Liu Bowen said with a smile.

"Well, the military advisor is right. Are all the officials ready?" Ning Quan asked.

"Your Majesty, 30,000 officials are ready. We can take over immediately after we capture the Arab Empire." Zhuge Liang smiled calmly.

"Okay, then I'm relieved."

"Then let's wait and see."

Ning Quan said with anticipation.

…………

Ten days later, Yue Fei led his army to Srinagar.

Seeing the arrival of the Daqian army, Governor Hassan's heart was suddenly in his throat.

Although the city of Srinagar was very strong, the opponent was the Daqian army. He knew very well the strength of the Daqian army, and he was really not sure.

But to Hassan's surprise, the Daqian army did not stop after arriving, nor did they attack the city. Instead, they went directly around Srinagar from the southwest.

"What's going on? Are they not planning to attack the city anymore?"

Hassan's face was filled with shock.

"Governor, are they heading for our reinforcements?" Lieutenant General Carl reminded.

"Yes, yes, that's definitely the case. The Daqian people are indeed cunning. They want to eat up our reinforcements."

"Quick, send someone to notify the reinforcements. The Daqian army is heading towards them. Tell them to be careful."

Hassan reacted immediately and shouted hurriedly.

"Yes, Lord Governor."

Carl hurried down to make arrangements
