Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Just as Li You estimated, a few days later, good news came from the front line.

Although Li Chengqian hadn't conquered the land of Mai Na, the danger was lifted.

It turned out that Li Chengqian remembered the tips that Li You passed to him when he just set off in the crisis.

He used up three in Talas that day, but in fact Li You gave him the fourth one.

However, the letter at the time said that unless it was absolutely necessary, do not open this last tip.

After the three great tricks, Li Chengqian won the battle of Talas, and he himself kept the last one.

Now, after falling into crisis again, Li Chengqian, who had nowhere to go, thought of this last tip.

With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Li Chengqian opened this kit.

There are only three simple words "go to the beach" in the kit.

Li Chengqian suddenly realized something, and immediately asked someone to bring a marching map.

He found that although their location was three hundred miles away from the sea, there were no strong enemy forces in that direction.

But this direction is contrary to the direction of Persia. If he really continues to go deep, once he doesn't find it at the seaside, then he really can't turn back.

In fact, Li Chengqian's army still has the strength to fight. Although it cannot capture the city of Medina, its strength should not be underestimated.

In view of the current situation of the Tang army, Da Shi concentrated heavily on the Tang army's rear, intending to cut off the Tang army's return route. When the Tang army ran out of ammunition and food, it would naturally be vulnerable.

Although he couldn't go back, Li Chengqian could still attack other places if he wanted to.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengqian decided to believe in Li You one more time.

Tang Jun's actions greatly exceeded Osman's expectations. This change not only successfully broke through their encirclement, but also opened up the space for mobile warfare.

And in the process of advancing westward, Li Chengqian's troops found new supplies.

Although the food they found was just a drop in the bucket, the new water source allowed everyone to restore a lot of fighting power.

This situation made Osman furious, and all the officials in charge of guarding the western front and those who had not cleared up the materials in the west were all beheaded by Osman for public display.

Then, Osman asked the army to speed up, compressing the Tang army's space again, trapping Li Chengqian to death.

"Li Chengqian, although you can escape for a while, can you escape for a lifetime?"

"Although you escaped from the encirclement on the western front, the only way to the west is the sea. I don't think you will be allowed to escape back to Persia by detour."

"The endless Red Sea is your burial place, feed the sharks to me then!"

However, Osman didn't know that Li Chengqian's moving target was originally the shore of the Red Sea.

About ten days later, Li Chengqian's army finally appeared by the sea.

Looking at the endless sea, Li Chengqian couldn't be happy.

He has been thinking about the meaning of Li You's tip for the past few days, but he still can't figure it out after much deliberation.

If this tip refers to the previous war, the environment at that time was very clear. There was no sea for thousands of miles around Talas.

So Li You's tip is very likely aimed at his current situation.

But rationality told Li Chengqian that it was impossible for Li You to estimate the current situation a year ago, and even Li Chengqian himself didn't think of it at that time.

But in Li You, Li Chengqian saw too many impossible things, so he came to the beach with his last hope.

However, facing the empty beach and the endless sea, Li Chengqian smiled wryly.

Li You is not a god after all, and those illusory things are still unreliable after all.

After arriving at the beach, Li Chengqian did not leave. He summoned all the generals to prepare for another backwater battle with the Dashi troops.

Relying on the few springs found by the sea and the fish in the sea, Li Chengqian's army can get effective supplies.

Even if you persist for a month or two, it is also possible.

Although the Persian army has been broken up once, under the supervision of the follow-up Tang army, it will certainly not sit idly by Li Chengqian.

As long as Li Chengqian and others can persevere, they will still be able to win in the end.

Osman naturally also saw Li Chengqian's intentions.

To be honest, even though the Dashi army has an absolute numerical advantage in the face of the Tang army who is fighting to the death, Osman does not think that Dashi can win.

However, Ottoman's Dashi army is not just the army, Dashi also has the navy.

Osman quickly mobilized the Dashi Navy, preparing to give Li Chengqian a sea-land coordinated battle to take down the Tang army in one fell swoop.

On the fourth watch, when it was just dawn, the Dashi troops launched a fierce attack on the Tang army.

Generally speaking, this is the time when the guards are the most lax, but the Dashi troops were baptized by the Tang army's arrow rain just as they charged.

Tang Jun's arrow rain aroused the bloodthirsty feelings of these Dashi troops, and they did not hide their tracks at all, and rushed forward with great fanfare.

This was a battle with a scale of more than [-], and soon the vanguard of the Tang Army fought with the Dashi Army.

Soon, the elite of the Tang army was revealed. Although the Tang army was inferior in number, it was still the big food army that suffered the most casualties.

Listening to the number of casualties constantly reported, Osman was also in pain.

Some people may say that the first wave of charges were all cannon fodder, and no matter how many deaths there are, it doesn't feel bad.

But the person who said this actually knew nothing about war.

On the battlefield, especially the ancient battlefield, the most important thing is the momentum.

The reason why there are countless battles where fewer people win more battles is actually because the side with fewer people has completely collapsed the opponent's momentum.

The momentum depends on many aspects, but the situation of the first wave of confrontation is undoubtedly a very important point.

If one's vanguard is defeated by the opponent chopping melons and vegetables, then the follow-up troops must be timid before fighting.

Therefore, the food troops who had just charged in the first wave were the mainstay of Osman's subordinates.

Everyone's casualties made Osman's heart ache.

However, facing Tang Jun, Osman couldn't care less.

While ordering the troops behind to enter the battlefield, he cursed, "Why isn't the damn navy here yet!"

"Didn't they say that after dawn, they would attack Tang Jun from the sea!"

This was Ottoman's plan, to draw Tang Jun's attention to the frontal battlefield through land combat, and then the navy dispatched to surround Tang Jun from behind and let Tang Jun suffer from the enemy.

However, it was useless to allow Osman to curse. The sky was still gray, and there was still a short time before sunrise.

After Osman sent another [-] troops into the battlefield, the sun finally jumped out of the horizon, and the golden sunlight penetrated the clouds.

And at this moment, a fleet also appeared above the sea level.

Seeing the fleet, Osman let out a bad breath and said, "Li Chengqian, let me see what you are fighting with this time!"
