Chapter 215: Tailgating

Zhao Lang glanced at the chaotic unity soldiers, and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "Master Lu, hurry up and let them eat something, the Tubo people will arrive in an instant!" We must also be ready for a fierce battle! ”

"Thank you General Zhao for the reminder!" Lu Xiaoxian's face turned red.

Unity soldiers are unity soldiers, and they are not at the same level as other people's whirlwind brigades.

Zhao Lang threw the reins to his subordinates, and said to Wang Haibin, who came up, "Put our war horses together, we may not need them for a while!" ”

"Yes, Captain!" Wang Haibin replied.

Wang Haibin noticed that every brother who came back was stained with blood, and Zhao Lang's hands were also covered with blackened bloodstains, and the battle situation last night must have been extremely dangerous, "Captain, are you not injured?" I've got medicine! ”

"I'm fine, four of our brothers were injured, seven of them were injured on the unity side, and five didn't come back......" Zhao Lang's voice was a little low, "It is estimated that there is a lot of luck, you can send them the medicine......"

Originally, Zhao Lang looked down on this group of united soldiers in his heart, but their performance last night was no less than that of the Whirlwind Brigade, which made Zhao Lang's opinion of them change a little.

It seems that this Lu Gongzi has two shots, and it is indeed not easy to bring the united soldiers into what they are now in such a short period of time.

After simply filling his stomach, Lu Xiaoxian called Guo Zhen, Zhang Meng, Chai Liu, and Chen Xuanli to discuss the next step.

Lu Xiaoxian's mood was a little heavy, and he said slowly: "There are five brothers who didn't come back yesterday, Uncle Chai, you check which ones they are, I will give each person two hundred taels of silver as a pension, I'm really sorry!" ”

He had promised the solidarity soldiers that he would bring each of them back safely, but he had not done so. It stands to reason that these united soldiers who attacked with Lu Xiaoxian should not be left behind, whether they are dead or alive. The scuffle like last night really couldn't take care of everyone, and it was helpless to leave the dead behind.

Chai Liu hugged his fists to Lu Xiaoxian and said: "Lu Gongzi doesn't have to blame himself, since there are no immortals in the war, you have done well enough, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see the sun today." Besides, you also paid for their own money, and I thank you for them! ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded, and said to Chen Xuanli:

"The manpower in the squad needs to be readjusted!"

"How to adjust, please make it clear to Mr. Lu!" Chen Xuanli asked respectfully.

Since Lu Xiaoxian led the Yulin Army and the Unity Soldiers to raid the Tubo cavalry last night, Chen Xuanli was completely convinced of him. Not to mention anything else, this courage alone is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Pick out four hundred of the younger ones from the unity army, and replace the men of the Whirlwind Brigade with two hundred to serve as spearmen, and the other two hundred men are to be led by a soldier of the Yulin Army every two, one of whom is responsible for loading crossbows and arrows for those who wield powerful crossbows or horned crossbows, while the other is carrying a heavy shield for cover."

Lu Xiaoxian let the older and experienced unity soldiers be responsible for shooting crossbows, and let the young, powerful unity soldiers be responsible for loading crossbow arrows, this method is very suitable for the current situation of unity soldiers, after all, loading crossbow arrows is much more laborious than shooting crossbows.

"Why do you want to change the people of the Whirlwind Brigade to come down, they are much more experienced than our people!" Chai Liu asked puzzled.

Lu Xiaoxian explained: "They should be kept as reserves, if their men are exhausted and the Tubo people rush into the battle, I am afraid that our people will not be able to resist." But it's not the same when they're here, so before the Tibetans rush into the battle, we can only rely on ourselves! ”

Lu Xiaoxian was more thoughtful, if the Tubo cavalry rushed into battle in a big way, no one dared to guarantee that the car formation would not be broken through, and the whirlwind brigade would be the reserve force, which could play the greatest role in this critical situation.

"And!" Lu Xiaoxian continued, "The crossbowmen are divided into three teams in the inner circle of every fifty people, and after each team shoots, the next team shoots again, providing long-distance fire support for the pikemen on the periphery at any time. This will ensure that our bolts will never stop, at least as much damage and delay as possible when the opponent slows down the climb. In order to prevent the Tibetans from attacking with fire, it was also necessary for some people to be ready to deal with sudden fires with spears and sandbags wrapped in wet cloths. ”

Chai Liu nodded, Lu Xiaoxian's instructions were so meticulous that he had to implement them one by one, so that he could be called a worthy mission!

After the arrangement was stopped, Lu Xiaoxian came to Zhao Lang, and he introduced his plan to Zhao Lang in detail.

Zhao Lang listened very carefully, although Lu Xiaoxian's plan was not seamless, he had to

Admittedly, this plan is very much in line with the current reality. In particular, Lu Xiaoxian was able to make the decision to let the Whirlwind Brigade act as a reserve, which Zhao Lang did not expect at all. If it were someone else, I am afraid that I would like to let the people of the Whirlwind Brigade be in front, but Lu Xiaoxian can start from the overall situation and use good steel on the blade, which is indeed commendable.

"Lu Gongzi has arranged very carefully, and he will obey the order! I hope that Lu Gongzi will pay attention to his own safety, if there is any mistake, the last general will not be able to explain to the general manager! Of course, Zhao Lang will not forget the mission of his trip, and solemnly reminded Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian said yes and turned to leave.

Zhao Lang was still a little worried, he called Wang Haibin and specially told him to take some of his subordinates to protect Lu Xiaoxian's side, just in case.

"The whole team ......" Chen Xuanli elongated his voice, "Two defensive formations!" Stand your ground! ”

"Crossbowman in place!" Chai Liuda urged the unity soldiers behind him to load the spare crossbow with arrows, "Hurry up!" Hurry up, the Tibetans will be here soon! ”

The united soldiers rearranged their formation around the car formation and stood in two columns. The front row is usually a battle-hardened veteran, and the back row is a young man who is new to battle, each holding a spear and shield in his hand, and at the feet of the soldiers in the back row, two spare spears and a crossbow with arrows ready to go.

These bows and crossbows were part of the baggage that was transported to Taozhou, and now they were used by the unity soldiers first. If you can't hold the chariot formation, these baggage will definitely fall into the hands of the Tubo people, and it is better to use it to kill and wound the Tubo cavalry now.

A dull trombone sounded.

In the morning mist that gradually dissipated, the military flag of the Tibetan army appeared.

Immediately following under the military flag were neatly lined up cavalry, and here they were!

The sound of horses' hooves shook the slumbering earth, and the heavy breathing of the knights was clearly audible.

The dull trombone sounded again.

Under the military flag, Soga held his mount, and he saw the baggage stacked on the hill, and also saw the Tang army battle formation standing still.

There are a lot of people, but the combat effectiveness of the unity soldiers is basically negligible, what the hell happened to Dajie last night! Lost so badly, more than half of the three hundred iron horsemen were killed like people chopping melons and vegetables! He also took his own life!
