Chapter 62 The Great Victory at Dunhuang!

"Today you are leading hundreds of brothers, and you are still the first one. If one day you are my general and command thousands of troops, will you still be the first one? You must know that you have killed countless people.

Soldiers are useless, as long as the enemy kills you with one arrow, our general, they will win. Of course, if you can be like Liao Zhong and are willing to hide behind and command..."

"Impossible!" Qin Qiong said angrily: "My Qin family has been loyal and loyal for generations and has been protecting the people for more than a hundred years. For generations, our ancestors have been heroes who killed the enemy in front of the battle, and we have never been a coward who commanded from behind!"

What he said was right, his grandfather Qin Yong was shot to death by random arrows just to cover his lord's retreat.

But Changsheng didn't want him to meet such a fate.

Seeing that he couldn't listen for the time being, he simply changed the topic: "I see that your demonstration just now seems to have some traces of your family's ancestral secrets?"

"My lord, you have good eyesight, it's true."

"I want you to change this set of tricks into marksmanship and pass it on to all the soldiers in the army. It is best to record it in a book and then teach it to them..." Of course, Chang Sheng's good ideas must be shared to achieve maximum effect.

However, Qin Qiong did reject his proposal: "Please make atonement for your sins, my lord, I really can't do it."

Chang Sheng vaguely guessed the reason and said, "But what's the inconvenience?"

"This is my Qin family's ancestral secret knowledge, and it is also the foundation of my life. My mother once strictly ordered me to spread it..." Qin Qiong's tone became more solemn as he spoke, as if he was thinking of the family's martyrs: "The glory of my family depends on these hands.

Mace, and a seven-foot spear!"

Naturally, Immortal understands and despises this kind of feudal thought. Among the people he met, it goes without saying that Sun Simiao is writing "Qianjin Prescription" with great concentration and is determined to promote Chinese medicine;

Master Lu also cherished his broomstick at first, but he was soon convinced by the wonderful idea of ​​immortality, and naturally he didn't care about his shabby gadgets in comparison.

Good guy, your stuff is so advanced, can you take a fancy to my stuff?

Therefore, Changsheng subconsciously forgot the deep-rooted influence of feudal barriers during this period.

Looking at Qin Qiong in front of her, she cupped her fists and cupped her hands, bending over and motionless.

He could only shake his head helplessly: "In that case, I won't force you."

For other things, it is easy to say that the children of these families are not very willing to give in on this matter of principle, which is related to the family's honor.

On the training ground the next day, Changsheng gathered all the martial arts players in the team to see if he could think of a solution from them.

Everyone discussed for a long time, and some said that they should use arrows to kill the enemy from a long distance. This was the best way to avoid their own losses.

Some people say that you need to use a knife, and three arrows do not need to be damaged by one knife. Especially against the heavily armed Turkic cavalry, bows and arrows are often not effective in killing.

But when it came to the spear, everyone fell silent.

At this time Qin Qiong couldn't help but stand up again: "Kill!"

As he yelled, he stood firm on his horse and quickly made a thrusting movement with his hands.

Then he took a deep breath, stopped his movements, and looked as if he had just killed an enemy, saying: "It's time to behead..."

You can still pretend to be cool, Chang Sheng thought to himself, just as he was about to speak.

He was interrupted by Qin Qiong: "But when we encounter shield soldiers, it won't work like this. It has to be like this and then like this..."

Changsheng observed his movements with great interest, and then asked: "What if you encounter an enemy cavalry charging needle?"

Qin Qiong: "Then we can also form a spear formation. Regardless of how powerful their cavalry is, the guns in our hands are also not vegetarian. It still depends on who is more skilled in martial arts. Well, that's it..."

"Okay, then you demonstrate the movements just now twice more, yes, slower..." Changsheng touched his chin and began to memorize his movements crazily.

After looking at both sides, Changsheng slapped his hand and said: "After this battle is over, Zi Qiao, go and inform all the battalion commanders that we will no longer use the swords and shields, and replace them with long spears. Seven-foot long spears!"

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Chang Sheng did not want to explain immediately, after all, the environment was limited. She made up her mind to let all soldiers master Qin Qiong's simple and effective killing skills.

Although Qin Qiong swore that he would not reveal the secrets of the family, there was nothing he could do about it. Didn't Bijiang secretly learn two tricks just now? He was still better than his own brain.

In the past two days, she and her men had been studying the combat issues after returning, and it seemed that they did not pay attention to the Turks dozens of miles outside the city.

The same was true for Chen Ping. There was an atmosphere of optimism throughout the army.

On the third day, a spy came to report: "Your Majesty, the Turks are installing wooden wheels for siege equipment twenty miles away..."

Chen Ping and Changsheng listened to the report attentively. In the past two days, the Turks had plundered a lot of wood and built a new batch of siege vehicles. They were obviously preparing to launch a new attack.

So the two immediately began to study countermeasures.

"The towers and ladders they built are twice as large as last time, but this means that horses and a large number of manpower will be responsible for transporting the carts." Chen Ping analyzed, and he made a gesture of not holding on, without any hesitation.

Taking the initiative to attack clearly means letting the opponent attack, forcing the opponent to build a large number of siege equipment.

"Hmph, they attacked in such a hurry, not sparing the physical strength of men and horses. Even when they got to the city, they didn't have the strength... stupid" Chang Sheng concluded.

"Yes, that's good. I estimate that the Turks can only use a thousand people at most to pull the cart." Chen Ping came to this conclusion after making many calculations. After all, the opponent is not an infantryman, but a thousand cavalrymen.

A very conservative estimate.

"A thousand troops of the Turks will be dispersed in the front, rear, left, and right to protect the siege vehicles in the middle. The strongest forward troops will not be much stronger. Today, we have been on the road again and again, so we must be physically and mentally exhausted." Chang Sheng said excitedly.

"Yes, as long as we defeat the Turks' main forward force and give them a head-on attack, the rest of the troops will inevitably collapse."

Without the cover of the mobile troops, the huge and heavy siege troops in the middle are like meat on a plate, ready to be slaughtered, so the first battle is the key.

"Here, on the south slope, there is a undulating highland with tall grass on both sides. We are lying in ambush on it. When they pass by, we will attack from top to bottom!" Chen Ping pointed at the map and said.

Changsheng studied the map for a while. It was on a high slope 500 meters away from the enemy's attack route. If we think about the open area around it, the enemy would use the low to defeat the high, which would give us the advantage.

Changsheng nodded and agreed to the attack plan.

Chen Ping divided his troops into two parts. One part was ambushed on the high ground on the south slope. They were used to block the enemy's vanguard troops, while the other part was usually used to get behind the Turks.

Originally, his troops were barely enough to defend the city, but with the support of Chang Sheng, they would be much more.

The tactics were formulated. Chen Ping said enthusiastically: "This time they must never return. Not only must they kill more bandits, but they must also snatch more horses back. Then we will divide them equally!"

There is no light in the sky yet, but Dunhuang City has already woken up. There are smoke curling up from cooking stoves and figures busy going back and forth everywhere.

When Changsheng saw Qin Qiong, he was wiping his steel gun repeatedly.

"I've seen you wiping it since last night. You've done it so many times. You're really serious about it."

"I couldn't help but want to do this," Qin Qiong's face turned red, she put away her spear, and took her mace and wiped it: "My lord, since I arrived at the camp, I dream every night that I am killing enemies on the border and making meritorious deeds. I am so glorious."

Menlin, it will finally be realized today.”

His excited voice attracted the surrounding soldiers to look over. Qin Qiong lowered her head in embarrassment and continued to clean her weapon.

Yes, we need a victory so much.

The veterans who had participated in two battles were gulping for air nervously, not to mention the recruits who had never fought once. Some even let out nervous growls.

I got better after being cursed and whipped twice by the squad leader.

When Changsheng saw it, he cleared his throat and wanted to say a few words to encourage everyone.

She found a box and climbed up, standing on it and looking at everyone. The soldiers below also stood up and looked here.

Changsheng took a few breaths, adjusted his breathing, and then said loudly: "Since the beginning of Pangu, my descendants of China have been born on this land."

But after the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and successive generations of virtuous kings, our civilization in the Central Plains began to decline, and we were repeatedly spied on and invaded by foreign barbarians.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties were unable to defend themselves, causing barbarians to invade China, and their long-lasting achievements were almost destroyed. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty raised the flag high and drove away the riots, which allowed the northern peoples to restrain themselves.

However, if the barbarians are determined to destroy me, how can we, the Chinese people, be bullied by others?

The day of counterattack begins with our generation!

We will bleed, and so will the Turkic barbarians. We will die, and so will the Turkic barbarians!

Changsheng paused, took a deep breath and said loudly: "But we have the incense offered by our descendants and relatives to enjoy, and the ancestral temple to stay in. Even if we meet our ancestors under Jiuquan, we can still speak with our heads held high.

:We sacrifice for glory!”

Changsheng pulled up the flagpole in front of him, raised it above his head, and shouted: "Everyone, you will win!!"

Every soldier around raised his hands excitedly and shouted: "Our army will win!"

"China will win!"

After shouting, the soldiers quickly set off in formation, swinging like ants into the morning light. Each soldier was moving towards the ambush, waiting for the arrival of their prey.

…

In April of the third year of Daye, thousands of Turkic cavalry marched eastward to attack Dunhuang. More than 3,000 Dunhuang border troops fought bravely to kill the enemy. There were layers of corpses on both sides in front of the Dunhuang gate.

The Turks were unable to break through the siege for two days and retreated fifty miles.

When they attacked again three days later, they were ambushed by the Sui army on the way.

More than two thousand border troops and militia fought against the Turkic army in the Nanshan Mountains outside Dunhuang...

This is a battle, a great victory for the Sui army!

…

"Win!"

Changsheng looked at the battlefield in the distance and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be continued...
