Chapter 496: Resolute! Take the Initiative!
Chapter 496
"This time, I met a master!"
Wang Chong was originally squatting on the ground, but when he heard the news, he slowly stood up, and a sharp light flashed between his eyebrows. He had already obtained this enemy force before
The scope of scout scouting is very wide.
The range of a qualified military scout's activities is often a hundred miles away from the Chinese army of the large army, and the farther away the better.
They are the eyes and ears of the army, the mouthpiece.
Wang Chong was sure that the Uszang army was at least a few hundred miles away at first, but in a short period of time, they were able to advance to a distance of less than fifty miles after an hour.
This kind of decision is by no means something that ordinary people can do.
There is no doubt that the Us-Tibetans encountered this time were an aggressive, aggressive and aggressive army!
The Iron Cavalry Charge originally focused on maneuvering, and it was a surprise.
Anyone who can bring out this characteristic of cavalry is not an ordinary general.
"Let's take a look!"
The king rushed to his horse, kicked up a plume of smoke, and galloped swiftly in the direction from which the Uszang had come.
At the top of the nearest mountain, Wang Chong, Eagle, Li Siye and others looked at each other, and at a glance saw a group of Wusizang troops fifty miles away, and the black pressure was overwhelming.
Like a black jade belt, this Uszang army stretched continuously, lying in the distance, motionless. An army of thousands of people did not make a sound.
This scene made the eyelids of Eagle, Li Siye and others jump.
"This army is definitely more than a thousand people!"
"Three thousand, go up! Didn't the scouts before say that there were only a thousand?"
......
Li Siye and Eagle's faces were not very good. The power of the iron soldiers was already much stronger than that of the infantry, and the 3,000-strong Uszang Iron Cavalry was enough to cope with three or four times the number of men.
In other words, these forces of the other side are enough to deal with the forces of 10,000 people. And I'm afraid that my side doesn't add up so much.
And the important thing is that the greater the number of Tibetans, the more powerful they become.
The 1,000-person Uszang Iron Cavalry can already form a higher-level mid-level "fortress aura", and the defense capability has been greatly improved.
And the three thousand Uth Tibetans......
This level of "fortress aura" is definitely enough to put huge pressure on the army on the Tang side, and if there are no effective means, this army can definitely inflict heavy losses on everyone.
"Childe?"
At this time, even Eagle and Li Siye looked at Wang Chong. Although they also accompanied Wang Chong all the way, the whole operation was completely led by Wang Chong.
"Don't worry, it's not that simple!"
Wang Chong said lightly.
"Didn't you see the other party stop there, didn't you come?"
The two were stunned and found that this was indeed the case.
"Sixty miles is enough for them to charge from a long distance and maximize their speed. This effect is no worse than that of them rushing down with the help of the terrain on the Us-Tibetan Plateau. If this was the plains, they would have rushed over long ago. β
Wang Chong said calmly.
At his level, there are very few things that can move him.
"What do you mean?"
Li Siye touched his head, looking confused. He is not afraid of many enemies in the charge, but he is really not good at things in terms of strategy and scheming.
"Look ahead, it's not the woods!"
Wang Chong's words woke up the dreamer.
Li Siye and Eagle instantly understood, and suddenly realized. Although the southwest of the empire is low, most of it is hilly, and it is far less towering.
But the terrain is not so flat, and most importantly, there is a primeval and lush forest between the place where they trained and the Usti Tibetans.
These trees grow very densely, and it is clear that the Iron Cavalry Charge will be greatly limited in such a place. It is likely that the early charge will be wiped out in front of the lush trees.
This is the real reason why the Us-Tibetans suddenly stopped and did not attack.
"Thanks to Li Zhengji!"
Wang Chong looked at the woods in front of him, and he was also emotional. The southwestern part of the empire has a complex topography, and although there are a large number of inhabitants, there is also a considerable part of the original land.
Compared to the interior of the empire, it is still not so rich after all.
When Li Zhengji first marched, he deliberately avoided the cities and villages, and although he took the official road, he was far away from the city.
On the one hand, it avoided disturbing the people, but on the other hand, it also invisibly took the army of the Tibetans away from the place where the people were concentrated, and avoided the impact on the ordinary people to the greatest extent.
Under normal circumstances, the Tibetans would never let go of this opportunity to kill. But those spies of the Ge Luo Feng Sect who were ordered by Meng Shezhao invisibly made all this possible.
And the establishment of Lion City also allowed the 80,000-strong army to survive.
Huoshu returned to Tibet to kill the enemy, and after defeating Li Zhengji, he led most of the army back to Erhai, so that the damage caused by this war was only so small.
But Wang Chong also knew that all this was only temporary. When the Lion City is broken, the fire tree is returned to Tibet, and the remnants of the Annan Protector Army are eliminated, there will be no worries, and the entire southwest will be truly ashes.
Temporary comfort does not mean eternal security.
The Fire Tree Guizang and the Usti Tibetans have only temporarily withdrawn their fangs. The sword of Damocles hovering over the southwest has not been removed.
"Gather the army and prepare to go!"
Wang Chong's eyes flashed, his arm waved, and he suddenly ordered when Li Siye and the eagle were unprepared.
"Your Excellency!"
"Childe!"
The two were taken aback. Now that the enemy is present, the forest is the best barrier, and no one thought that Wang Chong would give up such a geographical advantage and take the initiative to attack.
"My lord, in this situation, we should definitely not attack. The Tibetans are all regular troops and strong, while our side is a reserve. Facing the enemy, definitely not the opponent. Not to mention, most of them still belong to the infantry. β
Li Siye used the honorific title.
He had led soldiers in the North Court and knew the power of cavalry. Although Wang Chong recruited thousands of hired masters and rode war horses, these people were not cavalry at all, and they could only be regarded as infantry if they died.
War horses are just a means of transportation for them.
This kind of improvised patchwork army is okay if it fights on foot, but it is not enough to see if it faces the charging Uszang cavalry.
ββThis battle can really come in handy, and the only one who can influence the situation of the battle is Wang Chong's curtain, the 1,000 masters of the family who are fully armed!
"Li Siye, don't you understand? It's not that I have to fight them head-on, it's that we have no other choice. If none of these 3,000 Usi Tibetans can be defeated, then how can we deal with the combined forces of the hundreds of thousands of Usi Tibetans and Mengshezhao people in the back?"
Wang Chong said with a voice that saw through everything and penetrated everything.
Eagle and Li Siye were shaken violently, looking ahead and finally unable to speak. Wang Chong led the people, not to save the 60,000 reinforcements that Li Zhengji had defeated, but to protect tens of thousands of Annan troops in the southwest Lion City.
And they were facing a coalition of hundreds of thousands of troops from Mengshezhao and Uszang.
In front of these coalition forces, they are just a drop in the bucket.
- Wang Chong has never mentioned this in front of everyone, but for the people around him, Wang Chong has never concealed it!
"I see. β
Li Siye said slowly, as if he had made up some kind of determination.
