The first thousand one hundred and twenty-four chapters go slow enough
Badao could actually see what was behind him, and his head could rotate 180 degrees. This observation angle that humans simply couldn't achieve was now achieved by him. Of course, he paid for it with his life. price.
Just when he could see what was happening behind him, he saw many Hun cavalry following him. These usually brave and good warriors were being cut down from their horses by the warriors of Canglang Camp wielding sinking knives. At that time, his head and body finally separated, and without any thoughts, he fell into darkness forever.
Badao died at the hands of a deputy squad leader of Canglang Battalion.
If there is a competition of personal strength, the deputy squad leader will definitely not be his opponent, not even two or three. But war is like this. One side will never win because of the number of people, nor will it be because of your force. The stronger you are, the more you will win.
War is a technology that has factors such as the right time, right location, right combination of people, etc. It also requires sufficient intelligence system support, logistical assistance, wise generals, dedicated soldiers, etc.
In short, in one sentence, every victory is not accidental, but the inevitable result of countless efforts.
The Canglang Battalion had put in a lot of effort for this battle, and the training alone was based on actual combat requirements. Let’s put it this way, their casualties in this battle were less than 2,000, but during the training, they were injured due to training and had to withdraw. The number of people in the army has reached two thousand. It can be imagined how hard they trained, and it is reasonable to have the current victory.
Badao died in the battle, and the Huns were leaderless. With their army shattered, they could no longer form any decent counterattack force. All they could do was to escape or surrender. If they continued to resist, countless people had proved with facts that it was a dead end. One piece.
Li Chuxiang, riding on a tall horse, only launched a charge at the beginning and cut down two Huns cavalry, then retreated to the side under the protection of the guards around him.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, it is not a wise choice to go to the battlefield in person, and that is not the place you should stay. Commanding the army and giving orders to the three armies is what they should do most.
Although you can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in person, it is also a very exciting thing to see your subordinates galloping on war horses. Especially seeing that the soldiers below are so brave, and they are known as the world's cavalry. The powerful Huns cavalry were defeated and fled, scurrying away with their heads in their hands. They could no longer bear the joy on their faces. "Okay, well done. I'll let you know, all the warriors who have made meritorious service will be rewarded heavily."
Strict military discipline and reward for meritorious service will always be one of the main themes on the battlefield. Otherwise, why would people willingly sacrifice their lives for you?
With the morale of the army greatly shaken, the warriors of Canglang Camp moved forward bravely, unrivaled and unstoppable.
The Huns cavalry camp was about to be in chaos, but at this moment, another heavy blow hit them on the head, that is, behind them, another cavalry team from the Canglang Battalion suddenly appeared. Although the number was not A lot, but in such a chaotic time, who would know how many people are coming? They just need to know that they are surrounded and attacked from two sides.
Thinking that they were surrounded by people, the Huns cavalry who did not want to die or be prisoners played a game of marrying the father to the mother and taking care of themselves. They ran around in panic and no longer paid attention to the military orders above.
It even happens that if someone blocks them, they will draw their swords against them.
The Huns cavalry were in complete chaos. The resistance faced by the Canglang Battalion became smaller and smaller, and the intensity of their attacks became stronger and stronger. By the time it was completely dark, the battlefield situation had basically been controlled.
Of the more than 10,000 Huns cavalry, except for about 2,000 who escaped, all others were left behind. Nearly 4,000 of them were killed on the spot, and the others were all wounded and captured.
This was considered a battle between the Canglang Battalion and the Hun cavalry. The result of the victory gave the entire army a little more confidence. You can see that there is a sense of pride in the smiles on the faces of every soldier.
meaning.
"Leave one regiment to clean the battlefield and guard the prisoners. The rest will go with the brigade commander to meet Jizhizhou and the others." Li Chuxiang did not take any time off. He knew that this was not the main force of the Huns army. Many people should have escaped before.
If they go out, those people will be stopped by Ji Jinkai, the governor of Heizhou.
Although Ji Jinkai had 50,000 infantry, most of them were new soldiers who had never been on the battlefield. In addition, he was facing the Xiongnu's elite cavalry. He was really worried and decided to lead his troops immediately. If something happened,
It is also easy to respond to the situation.
In the dark night, Canglang Battalion's good military discipline took effect. The nearly 10,000 cavalrymen from the two regiments quickly began to gather, and then under the leadership of each regiment, battalion, company, and platoon leader, they lined up in long lines and pressed towards the south.
past.
Also in the darkness, a large but somewhat chaotic Hun cavalry group was on its way. From time to time, there would be scoldings from some cavalrymen. They were not scolding people, but these damn potholes.
Uneven roads.
Speaking of which, whenever Tang Ao enters a place, his first priority is the people's support and construction.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about people's hearts. As long as there is money, food, and good policies, there are many ways to win people's hearts. When it comes to construction, there are many kinds, but the most important one is road construction.
If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This is not true in modern times, but also in ancient times. If transportation is not developed and things cannot circulate effectively, it will definitely be an extremely wasteful loss.
This place already belongs to the Guzhou area. As one of the places that became Tang Ao's territory very early on, the official roads here are still well built, although the foundation is not as good as that of later generations. Large trucks and even large trucks that can easily drive hundreds of tons can easily travel.
It's hundreds of tons of stuff, but there's no problem with being walked on by stuff that's a few tons or more than a dozen tons.
The official road is not only flat but also wide, which is suitable for large armies to walk. However, the prince Hu Yantong and the young master Bu Xian both rejected the idea of taking the official road.
In their opinion, the cavalry of the Dahua Army is so powerful, they appear and appear everywhere. In comparison, the army of the Southland is simply incomparable. Fighting with such an army, that is
Just be careful in everything.
Taking the official road will be much smoother, but it will also bring countless dangers. Who knows if there will be an ambush by the Chinese army on the returned official road?
Now they only have a total of 10,000 cavalry left by their side, and they are still a defeated army. They have long lost the ferocity and morale of the past. If they are blocked again, the result will be really unpredictable.
In order to prevent such a result from happening, the two of them jointly decided not to take the official road but to take the small road instead. This order was given, but it was a pain for the walking Hun cavalry army.
It is difficult to walk on small roads, which are full of potholes. There are even big potholes in some places, and even horses can fall into them. But because this is an order from above, the people below can only obey it, so there will be people from time to time.
Because the horse moved up and down while walking, and because it was dark and his sight was blocked, he fell off the horse without warning. After suffering enough, he started to curse.
General Qi Huai was also in the team. When he heard the curses in his ears and saw darkness in front of him, he shook his head helplessly. The order was given by the prince and the young master, and they even gave the order in order not to give in.
People found themselves and were not allowed to light torches to illuminate the road. After hearing this, Qi Huai put forward different opinions. Unfortunately, his personal power was too weak to make the two people change the order, so he could only endure it.
After the yelling and cursing increased, Qi Huai simply closed his eyes. Anyway, his horse was being held by Ma Bian, so there would definitely be no accidents, so he just became deaf to what was going on outside the window.
The same goes for Huyantong and Buxian. They have Ma Bian holding their horses to ensure that they will not be in any danger while riding. Even if the road is difficult, someone will say hello in advance so that they can be prepared. But those curses are very unpleasant.
, but thinking that they are on the run, they don’t care about that many things. They just hope that the sky will light up soon and they can return to the base camp earlier. At that time, they will regroup and lead the army.
Come here and wash away this failure.
Amidst the scoldings, there was also a sense of excitement. Thousands of Huns cavalry were walking hard in the darkness, so that their speed was extremely slow, two minutes slower than the infantry.
Ji Jinkai fell asleep.
So he fell asleep against the edge of a newly dug tunnel.
He actually slept until the sky was slightly light, and it was his vigilance that made him wake up. First he looked at the sky, and then reflexively looked to the side. When he saw that the security guard was not sleeping, he still opened his eyes wide and alert.
When he looked at everything, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought it was because the guards had also fallen asleep. In that case, they might miss the battle, which would be a big crime. Now it seems that it is probably because the enemy has not appeared yet.
"What's going on?" Seeing that it was almost dawn but the enemy had not yet appeared, Ji Jinkai asked with some confusion.
"Lord Zhizhou, the news just came from the scouts. The enemy's defeated troops are about 10,000 horses and are still fifteen miles away from us." As soon as the guards saw Ji Jinkai waking up, they quickly stepped forward and saluted a military salute.
Reporting.
The guards are on duty at one hour, and they can get enough rest at other times to ensure that they are always vigilant. Therefore, when the guard reported the war situation, his voice was strong and there was no trace of fatigue.
.
"There are still fifteen miles, they are walking very slowly." Hearing this result, Ji Jinkai laughed for some reason.
It is said that you can see the whole leopard by looking at a spot, and you can know the late autumn by looking at a leaf. Judging from the opponent's marching speed, the quality of this cavalry is not very good.
