Chapter 424 Army

In the face of the overwhelming parallel cavalry, the Tang army, from top to bottom, had no other ideas, only to defend the city.

Zhang Lun and Jiang Baoyi took turns to come to the city wall of Beicheng and looked at the endless cavalry formation in the distance, so Jiang Baoyi didn't have any intention of making meritorious contributions, and only prayed in his heart that the reinforcements would come soon.

And Zhang Lun was holding on to the city wall, and the feeling in his heart was complicated and inexplicable.

Speaking of which, his ancestral home is also in Daizhou.

On that day, the Turks went south, and the situation of chaos in various parts of Yanmen is still vivid, and now it ...... It's only three or four plantings, and Li Ding'an, who started in Mayi, has restored the military appearance of Daizhou?

With so many elite soldiers and strong generals, it is not a rumor that they can compete with the Turks, right?

Now Li Ding'an waved his troops south to attack Jiezhou, which was expected, and if there were so many soldiers and horses still trapped in the barren land of the two states, then they would not be afraid.

Of course, at this point, he felt that this war was not easy to say.

The Turks were behind Li Ding'an, and if they took advantage of his southward movement to attack Daizhou, they would inevitably take advantage of the situation, and the tide of the battle would be turned around immediately.

Even if the Turks don't come, such a cavalry army will naturally be effective in field battles, and they can attack the city......

The Tang army only needs to resist it step by step, set up ambushes and encirclement in dangerous places, and no matter how many cavalry there is, it will be useless.

No matter what the Tang army in the city thought, this night the army camped ten miles away, opening up a long distance, and between looking at each other from afar, the Tang army had no idea of leaving the city.

Ten miles is not far, but for the infantry, it is not a short distance.

At this distance, the cavalry can easily block your retreat and encircle you in the wilderness.

That is to say, once the distance is widened, the deterrent power of the cavalry will increase instead of decreasing for the Tang army, which is mostly an infantry army.

Even the movements of the cavalry on the opposite side are difficult to grasp.

That night, the army hastily set up camp, and Li Po called Luo Shixin and Wang Zhibi over by the way and reprimanded them.

As the main generals of the forwards, the intention of the two to underestimate the enemy was revealed, which made Li Po, who had always been cautious and unwilling to lose half of the initiative in the war, and would not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of, was very angry.

Just like back then, he slapped Luo Shixin's head and scolded.

Luo Shixin, who was known for his ferocity and rage, did not dare to hide like a sheep in front of this eldest brother, and his big head drooped lower and lower, as if he was about to fall off his thick neck.

Half an hour later, the two strikers walked out of the Chinese army's tent, Wang Zhibi looked back cautiously, his heart palpitated, and he still muttered in his heart, fortunately, the two of them were not replaced, otherwise, not to mention the shame, the ambition to take advantage of this war to open the house and build teeth will not be in vain?

He was almost the county lieutenant of Yanmen back then, but he was suppressed by Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan, and lacked a real seal, but now he has become the lieutenant of Lou Fu, and it can be said that the more he mixes up, the more he goes back.

But now it seems that the county lieutenant has gone one step further, that is, he has opened the mansion.

Of course, in the "small" place of the two states, it was completely different from the usual sense of opening a government in the Sui period, which meant being above the generals and holding military power.

To a certain extent, this is the opening of the Great Military Mansion, not the opening of the Mansion that is usually appreciated.

Since Wei Chi Gong and Bu Qun opened the mansion, the generals in the army have been staring at it with good eyes, there must be more than two military mansions, it depends on who has the ability to succeed.

And this step is opened, maybe it is a lifetime of distance, a lifetime of merit, as one of the seed players, Wang Zhibian, how can he not fight?

He has no problem with his qualifications at all, and he doesn't give up his talents, the only thing he lacks may be that he is late, and he is not as close to the chief manager as those who come out of the clouds.

Like Wei Chigong and Bu Qun, they were all unknown people back then, but now they are one step ahead of him.

There was nothing to say, and on the way back to the camp, Wang Zhibi was trying to persuade Luo Shixin to find an opportunity to say good things on his behalf in front of the governor.

Luo Shixin never had so many thoughts, he was annoyed by what he said, and immediately glared at the boss's eyes, "Lao Wang, don't nag either, my brother has always laughed when he is really angry, this time do you see if he is smiling?" ”

"We just made a little mistake, what do we have to worry about? After that, cut off a few heads and send them over, it works better than anything, Lao Wang, we have to use snacks tonight, hurry up and settle down, otherwise...... My brother might call us over again. ”

Not to mention, relatives from near and far are different, like Luo Shixin's grasp of Li Po's temperament is relatively in place, but Wang Zhibi can only listen to it from the side.

Early the next morning, the army was divided under the nose of the Tang army.

Bands of cavalry circled the city and advanced southwest in the direction of the Bird Valley.

Li Po didn't think about besieging the city and sending reinforcements, he just wanted to take Jiexiu and Sparrow Mouse Valley first.

This is the passage from the north of Jin to the south of Jin, which is not a big pass, but if it is in his own hands first, he will be much more sure.

Tang Jun watched and understood that the enemy army was afraid that he would send troops to garrison the Sparrow Mouse Valley, and the reinforcements were ...... Can it still be reached?

The morale of the Tang army is gradually eroding with the passage of time, and the enemy army that has been established in Dazhai has no intention of attacking the city, and does not even have the intention of tempting.

"Quiet", quiet like never before.

It's not that there are no voices, but that the brutal war has not yet come.

This made the generals of the Tang Army both a little relieved and a little disappointed.

It is fortunate that there is no need to face these fierce soldiers in the border areas of the two states, and their own casualties can be smaller, but the disappointment is that they cannot consume the strength of these cavalry under the city, so as to create a chance for victory for the two armies to fight later.

The Tang army began to save grain and grass, and Li Zhongwen felt that the enemy army was besieging the city and not attacking, perhaps because he wanted to wait for the food in the city to run out?

30,000 Tang troops have been stationed here for half a year, and there is really not much food and grass.

Jiang Baoyi was roughly the same as he thought.

But Zhang Lun is singing the opposite, 30,000 cavalry ...... It should be pouring into the nest, surrounded by half a load? Hell, do you say that the enemy army doesn't need food and grass, but only eats dirt?

After arguing for a while, the commanders of the three armies generally broke up unhappily, and then the three of them guarded the city wall and never discussed the military situation together.

In fact, Zhang Lun, who has been in battle for a long time, is indeed not comparable to the other two in terms of experience in the army.

On the fourth day after the arrival of the cavalry of the two states, the infantry finally arrived at the city of Jiexiu.

An army of 60,000 troops, plus the grain and grass escorted, and pack carts, came in a mighty way.

Li Zhongwen, who was watching from a distance on the city wall, was a little weak now.

This was not something unexpected, but he didn't think about it at all, and he was able to piece together such a large army on behalf of the two states.

When the enemy knows you well, but you don't know anything about the enemy, the war will tell you very clearly how serious the mistakes you have made.

Undoubtedly, this is an unequal war.

After two or three years, like a diligent bee, Li Po, who kept making all kinds of savings, finally walked out of Jinyang with his teeth and claws.

Bringing shock and fear to his enemies.

This time it was not so much a battle with the enemy as it was a military training, a large-scale training with 30,000 Tang troops as the target of attack, cutting off their support and isolating their cities, and he wanted to let the infantry army gain experience and even lessons in this war.

Just like the now invincible Daizhou cavalry, who has sharpened its blades in previous battles, he wants to put the infantry on the chopping board of the Jiexiu Tang Army and sharpen it.

No amount of drills is as strong and proper as a real siege battle, and all strong armies have come out of the smoke of war, as it has been and has been since.

This time, without being polite to the Tang army, the infantry army passed through the cavalry camp one after another and arrived at the foot of Jiexiu City.

For almost a whole day, the city of Jiexiu was boiling and the sky was boiling, and the strong and rough foot soldiers on the border land, carrying the wood that had been prepared for a long time, set up camp under the city.

The well-behaved battalion gradually took shape in front of the Tang army, and the high walled wall could almost be far away from the head of Jiexiu City, rejecting horses and moats.

The foot soldiers sweated like rain, and under the protection of the cavalry on both wings, they worked unscrupulously under Jiexiu City for a day.

In the evening, in the wilderness to the north and east of Jiexiu City, bonfires were lit, as if there were more stars in the sky, and they spread into the distance.

The Tang army in Jiexiu City was completely quiet, and its morale also fell to the bottom.

Everyone understands that they are surrounded in Jiexiu City, Jiexiu has become a lonely city, and behind them, from Jieshan Mountain to the foothills of Taiyue Mountain, and then to the Bird Mouse Valley, they are already the world of cavalry.

If this is Jinyang Jiancheng, 30,000 Tang troops are enough to make 100,000 or even 200,000 enemy troops stop.

But this is a small city of Jiexiu, and the Tang army cowering in a square inch of land, no matter how many people are doubled, it can't change the disadvantages of the city being too small, the city walls are not high, and the city gate is not strong enough.

Either you die or I die, the courage is passing in the hearts of the Tang soldiers.

The army that took the lead and took the lead before attacking the city.

At this time, Zhang Lun's suggestion resurfaced in Li Zhongwen's mind, yes, how good would it be if he retreated to the Sparrow Mouse Valley first?

But there is no regret medicine to take in this world, especially in war, the price paid will be doubled.

The more Li Zhongwen regretted it, the more he didn't want to see Zhang Lun, but he just discussed it with Jiang Baoyi and asked Jiang Baoyi to lead his troops to defend the city wall of Dongcheng, and then just sent someone to send an order to Zhang Lun, so that he could garrison the southern city wall and not leave without reason.

And under the city, the big tent of the Chinese army, which was on behalf of the army, had quietly moved forward to the infantry army.

Li Po ordered all military generals to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters at night, and the clarion call of war was finally played clearly.

(Monthly pass, monthly pass, ah, Ah Cao calculated, this month is still expected to compete for the classification list, then you have to ask for a monthly pass, haha.) (To be continued.) )
