The situation on the battlefield is always changing rapidly. No matter how carefully prepared a plan is, it may not necessarily work. Often a small mistake can bring about a huge disaster. This is always an unbreakable truth.
Li Zhen naturally understood, but he really couldn't figure out where the flaw in his plan was - the suspected soldier's plan was obviously successful. The main force of the Pugu army was indeed transferred by the suspected soldier, and it was impossible to break through the Pugu camp.
It went very smoothly. As for the Pugu army besieging the city, they were scared away during the planned response of the Tang army defending the city. The road into Shenwu City was already clear. However, just when it was about to be completed, the main force of the Pugu army turned back early.
, its response was at least a quarter of an hour earlier than Li Zhen had originally expected, and it was this quarter of an hour that caused Li Zhen's current predicament.
When Li Zhen formulated the relevant combat plans, he had already taken into account the possible reactions of the Pugu army, the location of the suspected soldiers, and the corresponding methods of confusion. However, the problem was that Li Zhen only relied on the sand table model when formulating the relevant combat plans.
, it was not an on-site inspection in person. This was certainly a helpless move due to time constraints, but the problem lay precisely in the sand table model - the distance between the small forest where the suspected soldiers were and the Pugu Army camp was not as close as
The sand table shows that it is three miles but two and a half miles. Furthermore, the forest is not a dense forest. Especially in early winter when all the leaves have fallen, it cannot fully play the role of shielding people's eyes.
A battalion of cavalry made a huge noise, but when Pugu's army rushed nearby and formed a charge formation, they had to stop galloping in circles and began to line up and prepare for battle. In this way,
When the dust gradually settled, the truth about the suspected soldiers was revealed. Although the cavalry battalion at Yanmen Pass pretended to fight to the death, it delayed the Pugu Army for a while and gave Li Zhen time to break through the Pugu Army camp.
However, after the main force of the Pugu Army attacked, the outnumbered Yanmenguan Cavalry Battalion did not dare to engage in the battle alone, so they could only escape in disgrace. Hence, the quarter-of-an-hour error occurred.
A quarter of an hour is not long, nor is it short. If the plan goes well, this quarter of an hour is enough for Li Zhen to enter the city calmly. Of course, now he may not be able to escape without a fight, but the problem is
How should we fight? Not to mention that the whole army was running up and down out of breath. After a long battle, they had already lost their energy. Besides, the two Tang armies were not in the same system. Even if they wanted to form a formation, just coordination would be necessary.
Spending a lot of time, it is obvious that the angry Pugu Army cannot give Li Zhen too much time, not to mention that Li Zhen is here to defend the city, not to fight in the field with the Pugu Army. If he really wants his subordinates like these
With the soldiers gone, even if Li Zhen could escape into Shenwu, what would he do to defend the city?
Damn it, fight! Now that the matter has come to this, Li Zhen can only make up her mind. She glanced at the panicked troops, raised the bright silver spear in her hand, and ordered loudly: "The cavalry and I
Your Majesty, the rest of us are rushing into the city!" As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his horse's head and rushed towards the Pugu army who was rushing out of the camp. Although the hundreds of miscellaneous fish cavalry were a little flustered and slow, they could not stand up to Li Zhen's group of personal guards.
Under Li Zhen's urging, they all turned their horses and rushed up behind Li Zhen.
Anger! Outrageous anger! It’s just that he was teased for no reason. Even his most beloved younger brother was killed. How could Jin Jinyeda swallow this breath? He wished he could kill that person in one breath.
The cunning gang of Tang soldiers were all torn into pieces. Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the Pugu tribe, Qi Jinyada was not an unworthy person. After all, he was also a man who fought on the grassland. Although he was furious in his heart, he did not calm down.
He was so angry that he saw Li Zhen leading the cavalry to meet him, and immediately realized that he had made a stupid mistake - although the gate of the camp was spacious, it could only accommodate four or five cavalry at the same time.
No matter how good the horseman's riding skills are, they can't pass through the camp gate quickly. Those who can really fight through the camp gate are only more than 200 cavalry. The rest are still huddled together in the camp, let alone the formation.
It is even more difficult to arrange archers to resist. Once the front army outside the camp is defeated by the Tang army, wouldn't the cavalry huddled in the camp be blocked at the door of the barracks and beaten severely. In this way, the number of Pugu cavalry will increase.
There is no way to take advantage of the advantage. Once chaos breaks out, the generals may trample on each other, causing the entire army to collapse.
"The rear troops will dismount immediately and prepare their bows and arrows!" Thinking of the possible consequences of a disastrous defeat, Qi Jinyada suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted the order.
Yes, this person is prone to trouble when he is in a hurry. One mistake was not corrected, and two stupid moves came out again - Qi Jinyeda's order was issued in time, but it was a pity that the camp was in chaos at this time.
Horses were next to each other and people were crowded together. Although the orders had been received, there were not many who could dismount their horses, draw their bows and set up arrows. The cavalrymen who filled the whole camp were in a chaotic and disorganized manner.
The changes in the Pugu army camp were naturally hidden from Li Zhen's observation. When he saw the movement in the Pugu camp, Li Zhen immediately wanted to understand what the Pugu cavalry was going to do, and he was overjoyed - Li Zhen
Leading the cavalry to attack was actually just a last resort. Although he saw the low-level mistakes made by Qi Jinyeda, Li Zhen actually had no idea that he could take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Pugu army camp after defeating Pugu's front army.
Without him, the ability of Li Zhen's group of half-baked cavalry is really doubtful. God knows if they will collapse once they fight. Therefore, when they saw that Pugu's army no longer came out of the camp, they dismounted, stretched out their bows and arrows, and tried to shoot.
Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after holding his position. Now, as long as he defeated the more than 200 cavalrymen who had already reached the front, the Tang army could march away.
If you don't seize the opportunity when it comes, you will definitely be fooled by Tianzi No. 1. Li Zhen doesn't want to wait for Pugujun to come to his senses and get a guy for himself. He looks at Li Pugujun's forward.
Only ten meters away, Li Zhen raised her energy and shouted loudly: "Kill!" Like a whirlwind, he crashed into the Pugu army's forward, and with a move of the bright silver gun in his hand, "Wind and rain from all directions will meet Zhongzhou"
, eight gun flowers were shaken out in an instant. With Li Zhen's great strength and superb marksmanship, there was no way he could combine them. But when he saw the brilliant gun flowers, those who stood in his way fell off their horses one after another, but the effort in his breathing had already penetrated.
They broke into the forward camp of the Pugu Army, leaving behind them a pile of corpses, at least thirteen or four.
Qin Huaiyu, Li Ge, Qin Fengxiang and other personal guards who followed Li Zhen also successfully penetrated the enemy formation, but those half-baked cavalry were not so lucky. Three hundred and fifty or sixty people charged, but no one met them.
More than fifty people were killed by the Pugu Army. This was after Li Zhen took the lead in tearing apart the Pugu Army's forward force. Otherwise, it would be amazing if only half of them survived after a face-to-face encounter.
Already.
***, bad luck! Seeing the heavy casualties among his men, Li Zhen became angry, turned the horse's head in a circle, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Anyone who stands in my way, die! Kill!" He turned the horse's head towards Gang again.
, the Pugu Army forwards who were rearranging their formations rushed over. Li Zhen's Snow Dragon Colt was worthy of being one of the best horses in a thousand. It sprinted with all its strength and its speed was astonishing. The Pugu Army forwards had not had time to reorganize their formation.
Li Zhen had already arrived, and the Pugu Army cavalry were so startled that they dodged. The entire formation suddenly became more chaotic, and was immediately broken into two pieces by Li Zhen's charge.
As the saying goes: A soldier's courage lies in the general! Seeing their general's majesty, the group of half-hearted cavalrymen who were frightened by the heavy casualties once again mustered up the courage to charge, and also shouted and charged. Both sides
They were strangled into a ball again. It's funny to say that the Tang Army cavalry, which was originally at an absolute disadvantage in terms of technology and tactics, actually beat the Pugu cavalry into a panic. But just as they met, the Pugu Army forwards had lost their fighting spirit. As soon as the two sides passed each other, the Pugu cavalry was in a panic.
Gu Jun no longer had the courage to look back and ran towards his home camp in panic.
Qi Jinyeda finally understood this time that most of the so-called cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty were parallel imports. Although two people met and defeated the forward of the Pugu army, they could defeat the smaller ones with more troops, and their morale was at a loss.
With an absolute advantage and the presence of a fierce general like Li Zhen, the casualties were actually more than those of the defeated Pugu army forward. Although the more than 380 cavalrymen of the Tang army who participated in the battle defeated more than 70 Pugu cavalry, they themselves
There were more than a hundred casualties. If we deduct the 20 or 30 people killed by Li Zhen and the more than 20 people killed by Qin Huaiyu and others, the result of the 300 Tang cavalry was only a pitiful 20 people.
, this is not the standard that a regular Tang cavalry army should have.
The fire is big! Qi Jin Yeda is really angry. He is being tricked one after another. Everyone will be angry. Seeing that only half of Li Zhen’s infantry has entered the city, and the rest are still outside the city. Qi Jin is
Ye Damo calculated the situation and found that if he attacked at this time, he could catch the tail of the Tang Army's infantry, and at least he could annihilate more than a thousand Tang Army soldiers in the field. Naturally, he refused to let go of such a good opportunity, so he drew out his sword and raised it high above his head.
, was about to give the order to attack, when he suddenly saw a cavalry from the rear camp hurriedly squeezed through the rebel army, shouting: "Report! Commander, there are a large number of cavalry in the direction of Kaiyang who are rushing to kill here.
Come on, we are still three miles away from my main camp. I can’t see the flag clearly and I don’t know where the troops are.”
"What?" Qi Jinyeda was so startled that he almost dropped the waist knife in his hand. He rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "The whole army is on alert. No one is allowed to leave the camp without authorization!"
Damn, what a danger! Li Zhen found that the Pugu army not only stopped coming out of the camp to engage in battle, but closed the camp gate tightly. Teams of archers lined up behind the fence, on guard as if they were facing a powerful enemy. They felt uneasy.
My heart finally calmed down, but I didn't dare to relax. I led the remaining cavalry under my command and lined up outside the city, monitoring every move of Pugu's army... dd
