A war between two armies and a group fight between riffraff are completely different concepts.

Whoever can seize the opportunity can use violent means to deter and undermine the morale of the other party.

In the battle between the two armies, there are too many aspects that need to be considered, such as logistics and grass, troop arrangement, strategy and strategy, as well as the right time and place, etc., any mistake or omission is seized by the enemy, and it is a catastrophe from which it will never recover.

Gu Qing only had the experience of fighting ruffians in his previous life, anyway, no matter how many people he was beaten, he grabbed one of the other party and beat him violently, until he was beaten down or even abolished, the other party would be scared and fled.

In the current war, Gu Qing first adjusted his mentality, and repeatedly warned himself in his heart that this was a battle between the two armies and 10,000 people, not a group fight between ruffians in the previous life, and he must have the thinking of a commander and not blindly compete in force.

"This is an ambush encounter between the two armies, unable to line up against the enemy, our 15,000 people are all cavalry, and they are fighting in the vast desert plains, and according to the scouts, the enemy army is about 20,000, about 5,000 cavalry, some of which are camels on horse, and the rest are on foot, so our advantage is cavalry, we must use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to our advantages."

The generals nodded vigorously.

Chang Zhong said with a smile: "It can't be wrong to follow Hou Ye, fortunately, when Hou Ye left Beijing, he asked for 15,000 war horses from the imperial court, and the last general thought that there were too many war horses, and it was too troublesome to bear their forage, but I didn't expect that after Yu Khotan's military robe came, each person happened to be assigned a horse, and 15,000 cavalry were gathered." Hou Ye Gao Zhi. ”

The crowd sent a burst of sycophants, but Gu Qing's eyes were only staring at the sand table, and he was unheard of everyone's praise.

"How to arrange the battle depends on the generals, I don't mix the specific details of the battle, you are all experienced generals, and the two armies have more experience in fighting than me." Gu Qing said lightly.

Chang Zhong looked at the sand table and said, "Since they are all cavalry, it is natural to focus on rapid penetration." The two wings are interspersed, disrupting the formation of the enemy army, after two or three charges back and forth, their front army should be in chaos, at that time our two wings will meet, gather in a formation to charge the Chinese army, and the ambush soldiers behind will penetrate directly from the rear, and the outcome of this battle will almost be decided. ”

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the enemy enters the ambush circle, you can launch a surprise attack......

With a turn of his eyes, Gu Qing looked at Shen Tian of the Khotanese army and said, "General Shen, your five thousand men and horses are ambushed in the rear, and after the enemy passes, they will quickly dispatch to block their rear road, and then charge the enemy's rear army, are you sure?" ”

Shen Tian clenched his fists and said proudly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Gu Qing said again: "You Khotanese army is a new joiner, and these robes have not yet cultivated a tacit understanding on the battlefield, if there is any problem, hurry up now, don't trouble me on the battlefield, remember, this group of Tibetan thieves is the enemy who captured Khotanese and killed your commander and Paoze, today is the day of your revenge on the Khotanese army, cheer me up!" ”

Shen Tian stood up straight suddenly, gritted his teeth with his red eyes open, and said loudly: "The sea of blood is full of hatred, and the last general swears that he will never let go of the enemy!" ”

After a pause, Shen Tian said again: "Master Hou, the last general has a suggestion, since you sent me to the Khotanese department to seal the back road, can the last general take a heavy action against the enemy's grain and grass?" The enemy army traveled far and through the desert, and the grain and grass were their military hearts, and when the grain and grass were burned, the enemy's army would be in chaos. ”

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, the back road will be handed over to you, how to fight is your business, I don't interfere, the only thing is that there is only one request, you can't let go of the enemy." ”

"The last general commands!"

After the general deployment was completed, Gu Qing looked around at the generals and said in a deep voice: "This battle is a battle to defend the territory, and it is related to the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and it will never be defeated!" You are all the generals of the Tang Dynasty, and you all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the enemy. ”

The generals clenched their fists in awe.

Gu Qing suddenly smiled, his smile was full of Senran: "Also, I also have selfish intentions in this battle, I and you are still young, I still think that my official position is not high enough, and my title is not prominent enough, I need to spread the bloody blood of the enemy into a red carpet, I want to go down this red carpet and get more glory and wealth, every head of the enemy is a battle merit of my promotion to the rank of lord!" ”

"Generals are like me, don't you want to continue to be promoted? Don't you want to accumulate military exploits and be crowned with a prominent title to glorify your ancestors? If you want to, then kill the enemy desperately for me, kill it with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and Bo it for a generation! ”

The words seemed to ignite a powder keg, and the generals suddenly exploded, and the long-lost blood was boiling in the chest, and a fierce battle intent instantly rose to the sky, and the festival made the killing intent in the front hall of the mansion heavy, and a cold cloud shrouded in mid-air, like opening the ghost gate, releasing thousands of wisps of ghosts and ghosts, lingering on everyone's heads for a long time.

The sound of a nail leaf crashing sounded, and all the generals hugged their fists at Gu Qing heavily, and then raised their right fists together, shouting in unison.

"Kill !!"

…………

The city of Guizi was clouded overnight.

In the large camp outside the city, the soldiers have begun to pull out the camp and reorganize, and the forward 3,000 cavalry has left the camp to leave.

The people in the city had deeply felt the atmosphere of the impending war, and even the air seemed to be blocked, and everyone's hearts were heavy as if a boulder had been crushed.

The outcome of this war is closely related to everyone's fate, if the Tang army is defeated, then the fate of the people waiting for Qiuzi City will inevitably be the destruction of the city, and everyone in the city is not qualified to be a bystander. 12345

The soldiers of the Left Guard and the Khotanese army had left the camp in an orderly manner under the orders of the generals, and the camp outside the city was quickly dismantled, and the two thousand soldiers who remained behind stood at the head of the city, staring at the desert in the distance with a wary expression.

Gu Qing led the last group of guards to leave the city, and as soon as he arrived at the city gate on horseback, he saw countless people in different clothes standing quietly in front of the city gate, and when they saw Gu Qing and others riding horses, the people bowed down and worshipped.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then dismounted and saluted the people in return.

An elderly man walked out, saluted Gu Qing first, and then said respectfully: "The old man and the people of Qiuzi City wish Hou Ye a victorious victory and a triumphant return. ”

The people behind him said in unison: "I wish the Hou Ye a victorious victory and a triumphant return." ”

Gu Qing helped the old man up and said humbly: "Elder courtesy, don't dare to be." Rest assured, life and death are tied to the life and death of the whole city, and the soldiers will definitely fight for the Tang Dynasty and fight for you, and will never take half a step back. Datang will win! ”

"Datang will win!"

The old man suddenly held Gu Qing's hand and said deeply: "The life and death of the whole city is entrusted to Hou Ye, Hou Ye must be cautious, everyone is waiting for Hou Ye and the soldiers to triumph." ”

Gu Qing smiled and nodded.

In the noisy crowd, Huangfu Sisi's figure was impressively listed, seeing Gu Qing's mighty appearance in armor, Huangfu Sisi suddenly said loudly: "Master Hou, if you return victoriously, I won't care about smashing the concubine's inn, and I invite you to drink, and the concubine will drink with you!" ”

The crowd burst into laughter, and after Huangfu Sisi finished speaking, he blushed and turned around and ran away.

Gu Qing didn't smile, just tugged at the corners of his mouth.

The food is so unpalatable, are you embarrassed to invite me to drink and don't you reflect on yourself?

Oh, unenlightened woman.

…………

After leaving the city, he rode his horse all the way to the southeast, and after twenty miles came to a dune area.

Thirteen,000 soldiers stood still on horses, each holding a halberd, a bow and arrow, or a horizontal sword, and the yellow desert was black and oppressive, and only the whirring wind was heard in their ears, and the horses occasionally snorted impatiently.

Gu Qing looked around at the soldiers, after a long period of unique training, the soldiers of the left guard had changed unconsciously, and they couldn't tell where they had changed, but judging from their spirit and glowing fighting spirit, the temperament of this army was very different from the past.

With such an elite army in his hands, Gu Qing only had two feelings, peace of mind and trust.

As for the other 5,000 Khotanese soldiers and horses, their spirit was slightly inferior to that of the left guard, but everyone was gritting their teeth on the horse, and it was obvious that today they had made enough efforts to avenge the destruction of Khotan.

Gu Qing looked at it for a moment, and said to Chang Zhong beside him: "I won't say any extra nonsense, immediately let the sergeant who gave the order tell the soldiers that those who make the first merit in this battle will be rewarded with fifty times, those who are in the top ten in battle will be rewarded with thirty times, and those who are in the top 100 in battle will be rewarded with ten times." Don't tell them anything to defend the country and defend the country, what to defend the land and resist the enemy, let's be practical, the heavy reward is waiting for them in Qiuzi City, and when they return from meritorious service, the bounty will be cashed out immediately, it's that simple. ”

Chang Zhong clenched his fists and received his life.

The herald quickly spread Gu Qing's words to the ears of every soldier in the array, and soon the soldiers' expressions became excited, and an awe-inspiring killing intent gradually solidified and formed, and every pair of eyes was filled with incomparable excitement.

Under the heavy reward, this is no longer a battlefield, but a hunting ground for every soldier, and every enemy they hunt and kill is their own military merit and money.

Gu Qing nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "According to the original deployment, all the soldiers will immediately enter the established ambush position, go!" ”

More than 10,000 soldiers turned their horses' heads in an orderly manner and left quietly under the leadership of the generals.

The battlefield demarcated by Gu Qing was within a radius of dozens of miles, and as long as the Tubo army entered the established ambush circle, every step would be full of killing opportunities.

"Send the scouts to investigate, and be careful not to reveal their whereabouts."

Gu Qing led his guards to gallop to the back of one of the highest sand dunes, staring at a desert in the distance ahead, watching his soldiers quickly disappear into various pre-designated ambush sites, the desert quickly regained its calm after a burst of hustle and bustle, a hot wind blew, and the footprints on the sand were also smoothed by the hot wind, and it still looked like a wild place where no one had set foot in it.

Two hours later, the scout Pegasus reported that the enemy's main force was fifty miles away, slowly moving towards the ambush circle.
