"If he doesn't have a few brushes, how can I bring out the Snake-Eating Guards to help him calm down the situation? Since you all think that the person I selected is qualified to be the general manager of the camp, then don't create any obstacles below.
Okay, this battle right now is when we, Da Qi, are going to reverse the fate of the country. The foundation for eternity will be laid in this battle. We must fight this battle with concentration and focus all our efforts in one place.
!”
When he said the next few words, Lu Yu was already a little harsh. After listening to the generals around him, some were naturally very calm, while some couldn't stand Lin Fengjin being too young, or they disliked him.
What hindered his family's progress was his vest, which was soaked with cold sweat.
It's not scary if a person has talent. There are many people in the world who have untapped talent, and it doesn't matter. But if you have great talent and are appreciated by big people, the combination of the two will be very scary.
After Lu Yu became the king, the old people who accompanied him in the "hidden mansion" naturally achieved enlightenment alone, and the chickens and dogs ascended to heaven. However, the king must have checks and balances, and a group of new people must be promoted. This time Lu Yu led the snake-eating army.
After running thousands of miles and marching in person, Yedu suddenly seemed empty.
Therefore, at this time, Lu Yu's heir was only three years old, so it was natural that he would leave his most trusted old friends from Qiandi to guard Yedu, and bring out these newly promoted generals.
Of course, people can't stand Lin Fengjin, who is quickly rising to power. Until today, when he saw Lin Fengjin, he could ask Lu Yu's most trusted snake-eating guard to come to guard the door for him with just one word. Lu Yu was still verbally abused by Lu Yu.
After some beatings, I realized that Lin Fengjin's background was definitely not that simple. Therefore, after being beaten a few times by Lu Yu, he put away his thoughts early.
At this time, suddenly there was the sound of fast horses in the distance, and then a snake-swallowing guard came galloping over. After dismounting, he knelt down and sent Lu Yu an important piece of military information. After reading it, Lu Yu looked up and laughed:
"The people in the Zhongtang Dynasty finally realized that something was wrong. They actually asked for help from the Xirong people and wanted to exchange their horses at any cost! I guess they feel that it is too uncomfortable to have no cavalry now."
A general next to him also smiled and said:
"Change it, why don't you let them change it? Those idiots in Zhongtang are worthy of leading an army. Don't they think that just by riding on a horse, they can be used as cavalry?"
Hearing the general's words, the others burst out laughing, and Lu Yu also had a sneer on his lips:
"Right now, we will investigate closely, release all our sentries, and completely suppress the other party's sources of information. I will make these people in Zhongtang become blind!"
***
Five days later, the Central Tang Army set off, leaving Zuoliucheng and heading northwest to Dazu County. It can be said that they were strictly guarded along the way, almost to the level of one sentry every three steps and one post every five steps.
There are only eighty-three miles from Zuoliucheng to Dazu County. On the first day, the Tang army marched forty miles. It seemed that the Northern Qi army had completely given up on them and completely disappeared from this world.
However, the next day, the Northern Qi Army appeared again.
Under the strong suppression of the Northern Qi Army, the Central Tang Army sent out sentries and patrol horses and suffered heavy casualties. This made their mobility even worse. Moreover, this was still a plain area, so the cavalry attack could be said to be particularly violent.
If you show up to rush into the battle formation, it's almost a matter of time.
When the army of the Central Tang Dynasty was marching, it was impossible to form a strong and large square formation, let alone to wear armor and carry long swords and shields. If a general ordered to do this, he would only be regarded as a madman - because of this
At that time, even the best official roads could only accommodate five or six carriages walking side by side. It was simply unrealistic to directly form a square formation and march like a military parade.
At the same time, although in the era of hot weapons there were often cases of forced marches with heavy loads of tens of kilometers, at that time, after the soldiers arrived at their destination, they only needed to retain the strength to pull the trigger, and they would have sufficient combat power, and this
This was the age of cold weapons. If the soldiers exhausted their physical strength while walking, then once they encountered the enemy on a narrow road, the outcome would be tragic.
Therefore, when the Central Tang Army marched long distances, they naturally followed the road in the shape of a long snake formation. Under this situation, once they encountered an attack by the established cavalry, even the Central Tang Dynasty soldiers would
To be strong, you must wear armor and form a formation to resist, and the whole army must be like this. Otherwise, according to the mobility of the cavalry, it will not be difficult to find weak points and rush through them.
As for the time of tea, it is absolutely impossible for the Central Tang Army to wear armor at all times during the march. The change of formations was easy when they were marching with the protection of the cavalry on both sides.
It's good to avoid this problem, but everything in the world will become valuable only after it is lost.
At this time, the cavalry of the Northern Qi Army had maintained strong pressure on the Central Tang Army throughout the whole process, just like a pack of wolves in the snow, just following you coldly, quietly waiting for the enemy to reveal their flaws. At this time, the Central Tang Army
In order to grasp the situation on the battlefield, if you want to know where the Northern Qi cavalry is gathering and where the main attack may be launched, you must send your own cavalry to patrol around for reconnaissance. However, the Northern Qi army has shown extremely powerful strength from the beginning.
Due to the pressure, more than half of the more than 3,000 ranger sentries who were just brought out were killed or injured in one day!
At this time, the Ranger Sentinel Detectives of the Central Tang Army had turned into frightened birds. Someone began to send out random warnings, causing the entire army to form a formation three times within an hour. However, the enemy only sent a symbolic force.
He only harassed the troops, ridiculed and ridiculed from a distance, and even casually threw insults at the beheaded heads of the rangers of the Central Tang Army, making the whole army restless!
However, just when the entire Central Tang Army was paralyzed, the Northern Qi Army suddenly separated out eight cavalry groups. Each cavalry group had about a thousand people, and they aimed at the Central Tang Army from eight positions at the same time.
Launched a brazen charge, it looked like eight sharp daggers piercing into the vital points of the Central Tang Army.
These eight cavalry can be said to be both a main attack and a feint attack. Once they realize that the enemy is already heavily guarded in the direction of the impact, they will immediately change their direction and turn reality into fiction. Once they realize that the enemy is already heavily guarded in the direction of the impact, they will
If there is confusion and failure to form a formation, then the illusion will immediately turn into reality.
In this attack, four cavalry groups rushed into the formation of the Central Tang Army, and a bloody storm immediately ensued!
This time the cavalry struck at a key point of the Central Tang Army. A large amount of grain and grass were set on fire, and the auxiliary soldiers were killed so that they ran away, and the mules and horses used to drag the baggage were mercilessly slaughtered.
When the soldiers from the Central Tang Dynasty formed a square formation and came over for reinforcements, they arrived too late, leaving behind blood all over the ground and raging flames coming towards their faces.
Unfortunately, there are only two small ditches in this damn place, and the mud water that is brought up is just a drop in the bucket. If you want to get a lot of water, you have to go to the small river three or four miles away, and at this time, three people suddenly came galloping out of the woods next to them.
Four hundred cavalrymen slaughtered the auxiliary soldiers who went to fetch water as if they were slaughtering pigs and sheep. Now they had no choice but to send more troops to protect the water fetching line. When the fire was finally extinguished, at least they would all be burned.
Twenty or thirty carts of grain were lost, and more than ten carts of grain were soaked by the water. If no treatment was taken, it would rot and sprout in two or three days.
Not only that, there were also a large number of plundered civilians among the auxiliary troops. At this time, they took advantage of the chaos and ran away, making the situation extremely chaotic for a while.
After this battle was won, to be honest, the impact on the Zhongtang Army's own strength was not too serious. It can be said that the damage was not even one-tenth, no, one-twentieth of its actual combat strength. However,
The blow to the morale within the Central Tang Army can be said to be unprecedentedly huge!
At this time, they were extremely arrogant and still immersed in the previous thoughts. The generals suddenly realized one thing, that is, no matter how powerful the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty were, they would always be able to defeat the opponent! This kind of heavy punch against mosquitoes was totally useless.
The feeling of exertion is so frustrating that one almost vomits blood!
They had never faced such an embarrassing situation before. When Li Jian was in power, he had always been on the defensive against Northern Qi. The two sides might fight, either to attack and defend the city, or in the hilly areas on the border between the two countries.
These were areas where Northern Qi's cavalry could not fully exert its advantages. And more importantly, because the Central Tang Dynasty was always on the defensive, the Central Tang Dynasty soldiers fought on their own territory, and their psychological advantages were very obvious.
, even if the two sides fight against each other for a long time, the enemy will definitely not be able to use up himself!
On the next day, the soldiers of the Zhongtang Mansion only walked ten miles and were already exhausted from the attack. Therefore, they simply ordered to camp directly at about three o'clock in the afternoon. However, they felt that everything would be fine if they camped in the wilderness.
Have you? Ahem, this is so naive! Previously, the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty lived in Zuoliu City, protected by a thick and tall city wall, so many of the Northern Qi cavalry's harassment methods were not used, and they were all suppressed at this time.
I was so angry that I just used the full set to let the bastards like the Zhongtang Mansion Soldiers have a good time.
Originally, the soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty were also elites in all battles. Preventing attacks on the camp at night was naturally a top priority. Therefore, when setting up camp, various countermeasures were naturally used, such as digging several holes around the camp.
If you don't have enough manpower to make a trench, you can use something similar to a Luoyang shovel to dig out a large number of bowl-sized pits on the ground, so that if a horse steps in, his feet will be broken.
Another example is to build four sub-camps in the four directions of the main camp, southeast, northwest, and the main camp. If the enemy wants to attack the main camp, he must first pass the sub-camp. As long as the enemy
If there is no large-scale attack, then don't try to disturb the main camp.
There is another problem here. During the day, the spirits of all soldiers can be said to be tense, and they are eager to rest when they camp. Now once they camp, they have to do so many additional projects. It can be said that the amount of work is huge.
Obviously, the auxiliary soldiers alone are not enough. However, the Northern Qi people shamelessly targeted the auxiliary soldiers before. In this way, if they want to complete these tasks before dark, they will have to fight so hard.
The soldiers also have to come out to help, which means that the departure time will be even later the next day.
If you go back and forth like this, you will actually fall into a vicious cycle! The next day, when the Central Tang Army buried pots to make rice, finished eating, drinking, and defecation, they broke out of camp and set off. It was already ten o'clock in the morning, two full days later than normal.
Three hours later, as soon as they set off, they were immediately harassed by the Northern Qi cavalry, which seemed to be endless! And all of them were wolf pack tactics in the form of small teams, dividing and reuniting, gathering and dispersing, non-stop
Running in and out is dizzying.
Under such circumstances, even if the general did not give an order, it goes without saying that the ordinary soldiers would naturally put on their armor in a hurry and assemble the whole team. After all, in front of this tide of black cavalry, there was only one wearing the armor.
Only when you wear armor and are among your colleagues can you feel safe enough.
However, the cavalry's greatest advantage, mobility, was brought into full play at this time. As soon as they saw that they were ready, they immediately pulled the reins, drew an arc, and shot out a few arrows.
He galloped away with great speed! Although such an attack seemed to be a step away from the strong defense soldiers of the Zhongtang Dynasty, the feeling of being suppressed and beaten without being able to fight back was really aggrieved.
This is actually similar to being spit on the face. Strictly speaking, the essence of being spit on is not much different from being caught in the rain.
The mental damage was quite severe, so immediately a dozen soldiers with bad tempers and fierce tempers rushed out of the queue like crazy, drew their knives and pointed them at the cavalry of the Northern Qi Army and rushed forward.
However, how can two-legged people outrun four-legged ones? What’s more, the soldiers of the Central Tang Dynasty were covered in armor, swords, and shields, and the weight they carried was at least more than twenty kilograms. After rushing out two to three hundred meters explosively, they were so tired that they were as tired as
Sticking out his tongue like a dog, at this time the Northern Qi Army cavalry came over from both sides calmly, stopped in place, showing an arc, and arrows rained down, even though these dozen or so people from the Tang Dynasty
The soldiers huddled behind their shields and kept waving their swords to block. However, the cavalry's archery skills were extremely cunning and vicious. With just two rounds of volley, they killed a dozen Tang soldiers on the spot.
