Chapter 286: Confidence
In Liang Jianfang's view, to train generals, you have to let them see blood.
What is blood?
It is to let them ponder and understand the art of war in the fighting.
So when he brought Jia Ping'an with him, he didn't give him a good face along the way.
He was watching the young man.
Zuo Yu's Marquis Army was the vanguard of the army when he was marching, and Jia Ping'an did a very good job of taking the sentry with his subordinates.
During the fight, he deliberately threw Jia Ping'an in front and let him face more than a thousand enemy horsemen independently, but he was worried and calculated the time to rush to reinforcements.
But Jia Ping'an never let him down.
And this time he ordered Jia Ping'an to intercept Zhu Xie's lonely bet, which was a gamble.
Once defeated, Zhu Xie would be able to flank his army.
But...... Lao Liang is Lao Liang.
In his words, you don't dare to give young people any heavy responsibility, so when will they be able to take charge on their own?
How old was Li Tao back then? will become a big man, independently face attacks from all sides, and never mess up.
Where did you get a famous player without experience?
Those famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, including Liang Jianfang, were all killed in countless battles during the founding of the country.
When the army no longer kills, there will be no more nameless generals.
So he took the risk of throwing Jia Ping'an to the side of the mountain pass, but he kept worrying.
He was worried that Jia Ping'an would be defeated.
It's just a matter of defeating, the young man is stubborn, I'm afraid that he will desperately block it, and then he will be defeated and die.
He was calm, but anxious.
When I saw Jia Ping'an, a surge of joy swelled up.
The old man didn't read the wrong person!
Jia Ping'an really defeated Zhu Xie's desperate bet.
But someone is exclaiming, "That's a human head!" ”
Whose head is eligible to be hung on a flagpole?
Only the enemy's commander-in-chief.
"It's Zhu Xie's desperate bet!"
Gao Deyi was cheering, "Damn, the old man also said that he would protect him, but he killed Zhu Xie and was desperate." ”
Liang Jianfang also saw the head.
"Zhu Xie is desperate!"
He couldn't help laughing, "He actually killed Zhu Xie Guzhi?" The old man didn't see the wrong person, he didn't see the wrong person! ”
"General, they went to the enemy's flank."
The enemy army was fully attacking the Tang army's array, and hundreds of cavalry led by Jia Ping'an inserted it from the flank.
It's like two men and women are in the middle of a third person, and the enemy is taken by surprise.
The flanks were broken through in an instant.
Zhu Xie's head was hung on the flagpole, and his eyes were blank looking at the helpless and dazed scene under Ashina Helu's command.
"Repel them!" Ashina Helu roared: "This is the usual cavalry assault of the Tang army, they must be repulsed, otherwise it will ......"
Nothing else.
When the formation is disrupted, it is the time of collapse.
Ashina Helu sent the elite around him to counterattack.
"Withdraw!"
Jia Ping'an led the army to retreat, and the enemy was stunned.
But their formation was a bit chaotic.
Liang Jianfang keenly seized the opportunity, "Follow the old man." ”
He rushed out of the middle with hundreds of cavalry.
Just one shock will make the enemy retreat.
But the enemy army obviously did not collapse, and the follow-up enemy troops gave way to the passage and let the rout retreat, while staring at Liang Jianfang's cavalry with fierce eyes.
"Withdraw!"
Liang Jianfang retreated in style, and happened to meet Jia Ping'an who came back.
"Well done!"
Liang Jianfang said with a smile: "The timing of this rush is good, and what's even better is that your department is a tired soldier, but you pretended to be an elite rush, which frightened Ashina Helu at once, gave the old man the opportunity to assault, and successfully repelled this wave of offensive." ”
Jia Ping'an arched his hand, "The subordinate officials are tired, and they really need to be repaired as the general said." ”
Gao Deyi waited in front of him, saw him coming, and carried him off the horse without saying a word.
"The old man said to guard your back, but in the end, it was you who repelled the impact of the enemy, ashamed."
Gao Deyi's eyes were full of appreciation, "How did this battle be fought?" Let's talk about it. ”
At this moment, the enemy retreated, the Tang army hurriedly repaired, some people ate, some people checked their weapons, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.
Jia Ping'an talked about his experience in this battle.
When it came to leading the cavalry to assault, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
This is the tactics of the Tang Dynasty, when the situation is critical, or the enemy army is chaotic, the general will lead the cavalry to charge and kill, and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.
"This is Emperor Taizong's art of war, and we have continued to this day." Liang Jianfang praised: "You can lead the army to charge into battle, this is the posture of a famous general." If you can kill Zhu Xie again, the old man ......"
He really thought of his granddaughter at home.
"What a Jia Ping'an!" Gao Deyi said loudly: "It's a pity that we are fighting at the moment, otherwise we should be invited." ”
To invite merit is to repay success.
Liang Jianfang smiled: "Why not? ”
Gao Deyi patted his head, "This is a morale-boosting move, but the old man made a mistake." ”
In an instant, Jia Ping'an's results were spread to all armies.
"Wan Sheng!"
Amid the cheers, Jia Ping'an looked calmly ahead.
This is just the beginning.
From the very beginning, he knew he had to find a sense of belonging on the battlefield.
The Tang Dynasty's campaign was long, almost from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the time of its demise, and never stopped.
And the opponents are constantly changing from the Turks, to Tibet, Goryeo, the Western Regions, and the Great Cannibals...... Even Nanzhao.
This is a Datang that faces countless opponents.
But this Datang is extremely lucky to have an invincible lion at this moment, and there are countless famous generals.
At this time, Datang could not be defeated.
It only takes one big defeat to lose Datang's psychological advantage.
Therefore, Cheng Zhijie was heavily fined after the unfavorable expedition to Ashina Helu and returned home.
And Xue Rengui was demoted to a commoner after the defeat of Dafeichuan.
These are living examples.
In the follow-up of Xuanzong, the Tang Dynasty defeated Hengrus, which was the afterglow of the empire and a wake-up call. But Xuanzong still sang and danced.
The Qarluqs became traitors, but there is no doubt that the Tang army at that time was far away from the mainland, and it was a risk every time.
The Great Cannibal.
That powerful opponent, they still come to Chang'an every few years, known as tribute.
Everyone rejoiced in the submission from afar, but only Jia Ping'an knew that the Great Cannibal had been coveting the East and actively interfering in the situation in the Western Regions.
There are many forces in the Western Regions, how difficult is it to figure it out?
Not to mention that the opponent of Tubo broke the blockade of the Tang Dynasty and came to the Western Regions, which put great pressure on the Tang Dynasty.
All of this was in Jia Ping'an's mind.
This Datang will not be like this!
He looked up, and the enemy forces in front of him were forming a formation.
Ashina Helu was scolding.
"That incompetent Zhu Xie is desperate, more than 10,000 people were defeated by a thousand Tang troops, and he was even more defeated and died, so it's just a matter of his death, but what should we do now?"
He was originally a suspicious character, in history, Su Dingfang led more than 10,000 troops, Ashina Helu felt that he could win with a large number of defeats, so he dared to take his command to rush and kill, but was defeated by Su Dingfang, followed by a long pursuit.
The generals under his command were talking nonsense.
"Khan, the Tang army is just those people, there is no obstacle in front of them, let's go to Tingzhou, the Tang people will be panicked when they learn that the army has been destroyed, let's take advantage of the situation and make a big fanfare, and the surrounding tribes who have surrendered to the Tang people will immediately defect to ......"
It's a glittering scheme.
There was more hesitation in Ashina Helu's eyes.
In history, he relied on this hesitation to evade the pursuit of Liang Jianfang and Cheng Zhijie in succession.
"Khan, if you retreat......"
Ashina Helu looked at those soldiers, and his heart was excited.
"10,000 Tang troops will let us retreat, and the soldiers are afraid that they will be panicked."
In later generations, the team was afraid when they saw some teams, and they could have used fifty or sixty percent of everything. When the opponent saw that they were afraid, he was extremely relaxed, and he could do 120% of everything, so he kicked it easily.
This fear lasted for decades, to the point that it became a demon.
And if Helu chooses to retreat in the face of 10,000 Tang troops, the consequence will be that the army's morale is scattered.
He gritted his teeth and said, "This time, we will divide the troops." Bypass from the left and right and scatter the Don army. ”
The general under his command said: "Khan, this will certainly allow the Tang army to disperse, but our army is also dispersed. If the Tang army takes the opportunity to launch an assault......"
This is what the Tang Army is best at, if you divide your troops, you will die.
Damn!
Ashina Helu is full of sorrow.
Someone said, "Isn't that ...... Let's use a small force of men and horses to attack and disturb, two or three thousand is enough, give them from the flank, if they move, our main force will take the opportunity to attack. If it doesn't move, there is always a threat on the flanks. ”
"Wonderful!" Ashina Helu looked at this person and praised: "If you win this battle, you will be the first credit." ”
Immediately 3,000 cavalry went around from the right side.
"Attack!"
Ashina Helu shouted: "This battle will definitely defeat the Tang army, kill all the way to Tingzhou, and sack all the way!" ”
Hearing about the sack, the enemy troops were excited.
Think about the Turks in the past, how awesome it was, but since being defeated by the Tang people, the days can be called Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as the year. Now it has been reduced to the point of looting.
Liang Jianfang on the opposite side didn't look at the enemy cavalry on the flank, and said, "If you get close, you will give a wave of crossbow arrows." ”
Sabi, three thousand cavalry also dared to come to sneak attack, and they didn't look at the elites of the Tang Dynasty who were armed to the teeth.
"Shoot the arrows!"
A rain of arrows, the enemy troops on the flank, left a pile of corpses, and retreated.
If you want to flank and sneak attack, less than 5,000 people don't come out and be embarrassed.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The two sides were in contact.
Jia Ping'an is repairing with his subordinates.
He ate hot dry biscuits and drank ice-cold water, and his cold teeth were numb.
No one spoke, Li Jingye sat beside him, eating bite by bite, as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights.
He sniffed, suddenly opened his mouth and vomited.
"But you're hurt?" Jia Ping'an's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked.
"Human blood stinks." Li Jingye continued to vomit.
Jia Ping'an is full of black lines.
It's been a few days since you killed people, and now you feel that human blood stinks?
There was no one to react to.
"Keep eating!" Jia Ping'an patted him on the back, then got up and went to the front.
"It's not time for you to fight." Liang Jianfang said coldly: "Wait." ”
Well, squat.
Jia Ping'an watched Lao Liang's command up close.
"The enemy broke through."
"Press back!" Liang Jianfang didn't move, and even his eyes didn't change.
"The enemy flank is coming again."
"Crossbow bolts."
The front was repeatedly fighting, and Liang Jianfang remained motionless.
He suddenly ordered, "The cavalry mounted." ”
Mounted cavalry can not be mounted on horseback for a long time in peacetime, otherwise the war horse will not be able to carry it.
When the cavalry of the Don Army got on their horses, the enemy panicked, and the rhythm of the attack was chaotic.
"Prepare for ......" Ashina Helu was preparing to meet the onslaught of the Tang cavalry.
……
What about people?
The cavalry of the Don Army dismounted.
Nima!
Ashina Helu was so angry that his nostrils smoked.
He was tricked by Liang Jianfang.
The enemy soldiers also felt aggrieved, so they shouted and rushed to kill.
"Get on the horse!"
The cavalry mounted again.
Still coming?
Ashina Helu was just about to scold, but someone said, "The attack ahead has slowed down!" ”
He looked up and saw that the strangulation of the two sides was in a mess at the moment, but it was Datang's Mo knife hand who came up.
"Kill!"
Li Siye finished vomiting, and still carried the Mo knife into the Mo knife team. The team was looking at him and wanted to get him out, but some people said that it was the grandson of the English duke.
That's it.
Unlike in the future, it is now the norm for Tang generals to send their children to the front line of the army, and it is offensive for you not to let their children fight.
When Li Jingye swung the knife, the team was stunned for a moment.
The enemy cavalry in front of him was stabbed in two by him, and the war horse was so frightened that people stood up, blocking the way of the follow-up enemy cavalry.
But Li Jingye took a step forward impatiently......
Gannie Niang!
The team is angry. "Come back!"
There is a degree of advance and retreat in the army, and disobeying the order is seeking death.
But Li Jingye was just one step, and the purpose was to kill the enemy riders behind.
The knife slashed through the shoulder, came out from the waist on the other side, and a half of the enemy fell from his horse crookedly.
"Holy! Fierce! The team can't help but praise it.
Here's your chance.
Liang Jianfang turned around and said, "Zuo Yu Houjun." ”
"General." Jia Ping'an was waiting for an opportunity.
Liang Jianfang looked at him, and a look of relief flashed in his eyes, "Follow the old man." ”
"Command!"
Jia Ping'an got on his horse and gathered the remaining dozens of horsemen under his command.
Ahead, enemy forces are in disarray.
This battle began with showing the enemy weakness and ended with 10,000 Tang troops withstanding the onslaught of tens of thousands of enemy cavalry, followed by a decisive battle.
Jia Ping'an remembered the Battle of Hengros, where tens of thousands of troops of the Tang Dynasty were in the hinterland of the enemy country, facing the siege of the army, they were still not afraid, and finally broke out.
This is Datang!
Liang Jianfang raised his head slightly and raised the horse lance.
"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”
Amid the cheers, Liang Jianfang rushed out first.
But whoever rushes to kill, the Lord will rush to the forefront.
This is Datang's tactics.
When he had never seen the battle array, Jia Ping'an felt that this method of warfare was outdated, and he was strategizing for the generals. But when he saw the enemy army that he couldn't see at a glance, he knew he was wrong.
To defeat the strong with the weak, the Lord must take the lead.
More than 900 cavalry rushed into the middle of the enemy.
"Kill!"
The two sides shouted and fought.
Liang Jianfang rushed to the front, and when he had been accumulating strength for a long time, no one was invincible.
The cavalry behind them took advantage of the situation to expand the impact circle.
"Kill!"
The footmen lost no time in attacking.
It's messy!
Ashina Helu shouted: "Hold down in front!" Hold down the Don Army. ”
After all, he is a martial artist, and he knows that he can't retreat now, otherwise it will be a big defeat.
But the only way was to block the cavalry of the Tang army.
"Go! Go! "He sent all the elites around him.
"Who's that?"
Liang Jianfang rushed to the front, and no one could be the enemy of unity.
"It's Liang Jianfang!"
How many years?
He has been suppressed, those famous generals lead the troops to fight, and he can only make small troubles.
Clay figurines also have earthy nature!
Today is the moment when he explodes.
The lance stabbed into the enemy's chest, and then pulled out with force, and the barrel of the gun made of Zhemu instantly rebounded.
The rebounding horse lance was easily swung to the right by Liang Jianfang, and before an enemy could react, the neck was cut by the long lance blade.
Then the horse lance swept away, and an enemy army blocked with a long knife, but where could it be stopped......
It is difficult to build a horse lance, and because of the high elasticity of the wooden gun, it is even more prohibitive to ordinary people.
This kind of thing is like a meteor hammer, and you can't practice it well for ordinary people.
"Kill Liang Jianfang and reward a thousand accounts!"
Ashina Helu went berserk and gave a heavy reward.
Enemy hedgehog set.
The foot soldiers were desperately rushing and killing, the archers kept following and firing arrows, and the jumping soldiers also rushed up.
There was a fight everywhere.
Under his feet are either the corpses of the enemy or the corpses of his comrades, stepping on a pool of blood and wielding a knife, everything he sees in front of him is killing, and what he smells at the tip of his nose is blood......
"It's hell!"
Jia Ping'an saw this kind of big battle for the first time, and he couldn't help but tremble.
He was excited.
Ashina Helu was in front of the left, and Liang Jianfang led people all the way through.
The enemy army was desperately trying to intercept it, but Jia Ping'an suddenly took his subordinates out of the oblique stab.
The original defensive formation was out of order.
Liang Jianfang turned around and looked at it, and shouted, "Kill Helu!" ”
Jia Ping'an knew that he was going to be cleaned up when he turned back, but he didn't care about it, and shouted: "Helu is dead!" Heru is dead! ”
Tang Jun cheered, He Lu was stunned, but the subordinates who did not know the truth were in chaos.
"Khan!"
Liang Jianfang's old thief was so ruthless that the people who killed him trembled.
There are also partial divisions that actually rushed out of the formation and killed them from the side.
Don't run again...... I can't run.
"Withdraw! Fall back! ”
Ashina Helu turned around and ran, and someone shouted, "Retreat!" ”
It's not called a retreat, it's a rout!
In an instant, the enemy army was in a rout.
"The enemy is defeated!"
The Tang army was excited, and in addition to guarding the heavy men, the whole army launched a pursuit.
The defeat is like a mountain!
Jia Ping'an's later generations read the history books, which recorded that a certain general of the Tang Dynasty led two hundred cavalry to kill and defeated tens of thousands of enemy troops.
But when he experienced the battle firsthand, there were no doubts.
Look at those Tang troops, a pair of three vultures were full of confidence, and they actually rushed forward with a cruel smile and took the initiative to attack.
Look at Li Jingye, carrying a strange knife and sweeping in all directions.
Look at the footmen in the back, no one has ever been afraid.
He remembered.
Looking at the history books of later generations, the Tang Dynasty army almost always won more with less.
Why?
Why?
Jia Ping'an was distracted.
"Join the army!"
A cavalryman on the side swung his sword to block him, and then slashed the enemy off his horse.
Seeing that more than a dozen people in front of him were besieging a comrade, the cavalry rushed forward without hesitation.
A dozen ......
He didn't hesitate.
The two Tang armies should join forces with the outside, killing more than ten enemy horses, and the rest of the outlaws fled.
Jia Ping'an suddenly realized.
There is no reason.
If there is one reason, it is......
"Confidence!"
Battlefield battles are just a microcosm.
This nation has fallen several times.
But it has a splendid culture, countless revered ancestors, and an indomitable spirit. They can cultivate with their heads down and create prosperity, and they can also raise their heads to kill the enemy and shock the Quartet...... All this makes them extremely confident!
Such a nation, when it regains its self-confidence, will not be afraid of any opponent at all!
……
Ask for a ticket.
