Chapter 460 Joke

On the second day, the Tang army marched more than 20 miles. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The speed of the march was slightly faster than the previous two days, but it was not much faster, and compared to the normal speed of the march, it was actually about the same as the speed of a turtle.

If the million-strong army that went north to Liaodong had walked around like this, there would have been no need to fight, and it is estimated that it would have collapsed the Great Sui Empire if it was eaten.

Overall, it was a slow journey that made a large army desperate.

Supporting the generals of the Tang Army, no one proposed to withdraw in front of Li Shentong, I am afraid that it is not that Li Shentong is majestic and powerful, enough to deter the generals in the army, but that the army is indeed not far from Pingyao, and there is Jiexiu as a backing, no matter how slow you go, you can always get to Pingyao, and you don't have to worry about being cut off by the enemy on the back road.

In fact, this is exactly what Li Shentong did, attacking and retreating.

And Li Xiaoji, who led the troops on behalf of Pei Lian, did not disappoint Li Shentong.

The next day, Xue Wanche led the army again, and Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, immediately moved the handsome flag to the flank and personally supervised the army to fight.

This practice really boosted the morale of the Tang army, and after yesterday's battle, the Tang army gradually began to adapt to this rhythm of war.

Otherwise, it is better to say that the elite soldiers are all fighting, and it is better to go around the battle formation after a few months of training.

Therefore, on this day, the Tang army defended a lot more tightly, and the Tang sergeants were under the personal command of Li Xiaoji, and the advance and retreat of various departments gradually had a hierarchy of rules and defenses.

When the army is fighting and the two armies are unable to hold each other, the role of the lord of the first army will be highlighted, and Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, is indeed much stronger than Pei Lian.

On this day, apart from slowing down the march of the Tang army a little, Xue Wanche's troops gained very little.

In the face of the strict infantry formation, the cavalry also has a lot of limitations, the archers in the infantry army are the most feared type of cavalry, and the large shield spear has always been the most common tactic used by the Sui army to deal with cavalry.

The cavalry was not numerous enough, and in fact it could not do much damage to the infantry army with strong troops and strict formation.

In fact, this is also one of the fundamental reasons why the infantry army of the Central Plains often collapses for thousands of miles in long-distance attacks, but it can fight with the cavalry in the Central Plains.

Because even if the infantry army fights in the field, it needs several points to rely on......

After a day of attack, the morale of the Tang army gradually stabilized, and now the solid defense can make the enemy helpless, which is a big victory for the Tang army.

As for how many enemy cavalry can be killed or wounded, even Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, has never thought about it, because the combat power of the cavalry of the border army on behalf of the border army exceeded the imagination of the Tang army in yesterday's battle, so that the Tang army did not dare to act rashly at all.

The infantry defense is still successful, and if you want to encircle and kill the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind, it depends on the terrain and luck, obviously, these two conditions will not exist between Jiexiu and Pingyao.

In the past three days, the Tang army has felt a little tired, and it has to take a lot of effort to set up camp at night, and the Tang soldiers have been tortured both mentally and physically.

Low morale is the most direct symptom.

In the evening, the head of the march of Jinju Province, Li Shentong, the king of Yongkang, sent someone to inquire about the battle situation of the rear army, and he also praised Li Xiaoji, a cousin, for his ability to lead the troops.

But Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, did not have the slightest sense of pride, as soon as he came, he and his cousin Li Shentong were already very estranged, so after he brought his troops under Li Shentong's control, he was not reused, and he still had to live under a person like Pei Lian, and he was already dissatisfied in his heart.

Second, no matter how well the rear army fights, it's just no fault, he Li Xiaoji led the troops to participate in the war, but he didn't come to be a grain transport officer for the army, Pei Lin is incompetent, that's you Li Shentong has no eyes, why let him Li Xiaoji defend the rear army for that waste?

Moreover, after Pei Lian's military power was seized, he also made a fuss, avoided him, and moved his military tent to the Fenshui River.

During the battle of the army, no one can be happy to meet such a headache deputy.

What made Li Xiaoji's heart even more stuffy was that his pro-army was left in front, and he almost entered the camp alone, which made Li Xiaoji more and more dissatisfied with Li Shentong.

In general, it is actually a sentence, Li Shentong's ability cannot convince the public, when the army is just beginning, the combination of him and Pei Lin can be regarded as a very perfect combination.

Now once Pei Lin has made a mistake, everyone is not actually looking at Pei Lin alone, but putting Li Shentong and Pei Lin together.

Therefore, Li Shentong's prestige in the army has been further reduced, and the Li clan like Li Xiaoji must have been the focus of Li Shentong's prevention at the beginning.

Such infighting is not uncommon in the Tang Army, which has many disciples of the gate lords.

On the other hand, it's not so harmonious.

This night, dozens of miles away, the generals of the cavalry army also quarreled, without Li Po in charge, with Wei Chi Gong and Bu Qun, the two new generals of Weifu, could not let the various departments of the army have only one voice left.

In particular, Bu Qun and Wei Chigong have been at odds for a long time, and when they are about to fight, it is inevitable to fight for merit.

Of course, there are only a few people who have the power of the army.

Wei Chigong and Buqun have the highest ranks, and they are the two commanders of the army, in addition to Luo Shixin, Wang Zhibian, and Liu Jingsheng.

Liu Jingsheng is considered to be under the jurisdiction of Buqun's Right Guard Mansion, this person has never talked much, but if you think that he has no idea, then it is a big mistake, he is good friends with Luo Shixin, and he is the old man of Heng'an Town, no one dares to ignore him.

Luo Shixin and Wang Zhibi were both born in the Governor's Mansion, and they were the left and right leaders under the Governor's Mansion, and they were self-contained.

If Xue Wanche wants to be here, he can also add one, he is from the pro-army commander of the Governor's Mansion, and Luo Shixin and Wang Zhibi are naturally very close.

In fact, there are three left, one is Ashina Jihu who stayed in Pingyao, this cousin who was born in the remnants of the Western Turks and can be regarded as a red-eyed bead.

The other is Duan Fang, who served in Loufu County, who was also from the Hengan Town Army.

The remaining one was in the army, named Li Nian, who was Li Bi's cousin.

These three don't need to ask, in fact, they are all generals under Li Bi, plus Chen Er and others, they have their own line in the army, since Li Wu left, their momentum is slightly weaker, but they are also not to be humiliated.

Li Po released the more than 30,000 troops and gave them the right to dictate themselves, and when it came to the battle, these arrogant generals who had lost his suppression spared no effort to fight for merit, which was much more fierce and rude than the open and secret battles of the Tang army generals.

By the starlight, on a clearing in the middle of the army, ghosts sat in a circle of people, and they quarreled endlessly.

Li Pojian's left and right guard mansions were also useless at this time, and on top of the military meetings that ordinary generals could not participate in, Wei Chigong and Bu Qun were a little lonely.

If the quarrel continues, every leader, with Luo Shixin, maybe there will be an infighting first.

Of course, there are also smart people in it, like Liu Jingsheng, who has been pulling Luo Shixin so that this irascible guy will not be violent and hurt.

Like Wang Zhibian, he has always stood on the side of Buqun as if he was nothing, and resisted Wei Chigong, who is now becoming more and more powerful.

Li Nian rolled his eyes and didn't say a word, but if you think how honest this guy is, then he is wrong again, this person who was wearing more than ten wounds when he repelled the Turkic tribes' attacks with Li Bi, he was still fighting endlessly, and Duan Fang and the two were fierce generals under Li Bi.

Now that he is young, he can vaguely replace Li Wu's position at the beginning, and he has gradually become a well-known figure in the Li family.

When everyone was almost arguing, Li Nian stood up and gave everyone an idea that seemed to be a joke, but it was immediately approved by most people.

Wei Chigong and Bu Qun finally pinched their noses and confessed, because the people sitting here, each of them is easy to handle, and in terms of military merits, they are not slightly worse than the two of them, and it is a matter of time before they build their teeth and open the mansion one after another, and they don't want to offend these guys too much.

In fact, this is almost a collision and compromise between the heavy generals under Li Po's command, and it is inevitable to plant a few gaps, whether it will take root and grow into a towering tree, only God knows.

Of course, the factional disputes under Li Po's command have also been going on for a long time, because the various characters under his command have more messy backgrounds than Li Tang's.

Now the fight between them can only be said to be in the ascendant.

Li Nian's idea was not very good, and he suggested that everyone draw money to decide what their responsibilities would be in this battle.

Well, this is also a unique military meeting.

Wei Chigong and Bu Qun will naturally not be satisfied, are they above everyone, once this kind of joke spreads, the two of them will not be able to face it?

But everyone else nodded their heads, thinking it was fair.

Wei Chigong and Bu Qun could only agree one after another under the anger of the public, but Wei Chigong asked these guys to swear not to talk about today's events, otherwise, he would rather report to the chief manager and let the chief decide in person......

When everyone heard this, their hearts were full of cold, and they didn't say anything about delaying time back and forth, which would also make the manager feel that everyone was incompetent, and it would be very difficult to say what would happen after that.

So, in the midst of reluctance, everyone swore not to talk about this matter, but there was only a few words that circulated outside, and the ways of death were varied.

Draw lots, it all depends on the luck, everyone asked people to get some branches, the length is different, and the order of play is clear.

So, a group of martial artists, like children, nervously drew the lottery, if Li Po knew that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, how could he bring out such a group of bastards with funny heads?

(Monthly pass, monthly pass, it's too hot, it's too hot, because the cold is just right, Ah Cao doesn't dare to turn on the air conditioner, and there are a lot of hot prickly heat on his body, and now this damn summer is really not as comfortable as winter...... (To be continued.) )
