The ancient army fought a war, regardless of victory or defeat, it was a temporary thing, and there was always a chance to get it back. But there is only one situation that will make the whole army desperate, shaken its morale, and its morale will be low, and that is that the logistics team will be attacked and the military rations will be burned or looted. Modern people do not understand the significance of military rations to the ancient army.

Because in ancient times, there were not many ways to ensure the supply of the army, and in the feudal era, the food went with the army, and the people needed to carry the cart on their shoulders. If the soldiers knew that the rations had been burned by the enemy, then all the people would despair, lose their fighting spirit in an instant, and even mutinied and made trouble.

There have been a lot of classic examples in Chinese history, that is, by burning the enemy's grain and grass to defeat the strong with the weak, such as the battle of Guandu, think about Yuan Shao's strong soldiers and horses, but as soon as the military food was burned, the morale of the whole army collapsed, and the defeat fled, Cao Cao achieved the foundation in a battle.

Therefore, Xue Wanche panicked when he heard that the logistics battalion was attacked, which was also the result of his being too proud. He didn't care about killing the enemy, so he personally returned to the logistics camp with 10,000 cavalry.

When they were desperately rushing back, the scout also rushed over, his face was full of panic, and he panted and said: "Guogong, the logistics camp was suddenly attacked by the enemy, all of them were cavalry, and the number was about 20,000,"

Xue Wanche said in shock: "What? Cavalry? How did they get here? Didn't Zhang Jian defend them in Buyeo City? Then he scolded: "These dog mongrels dare to fall into the well at this time, and these dog days must be destroyed today!" Let's go! ”

At this time, the enemy's soldiers and horses had already killed the logistics battalion. After everyone rode into the logistics camp, they first threw the torches in their hands and threw them on the grain packs, and then left the camp and launched an attack on the Tang army again.

There were also government soldiers and civilians in the logistics camp who specialized in protecting grain and grass, but the enemy army came too quickly, and when they were discovered, it was too late. The first time the guard general ordered the people to carry grain and grass, and then began to organize the government soldiers to line up. However, the government soldiers in charge of logistics are all second-line teams, most of them are infantry, so the enemy's first round of charge These infantry are not the opponents of the cavalry at all.

But the guards all know that their duty is to guard the logistics and military rations, and if the military rations have an accident, their lives will be over. Therefore, they had to continue to organize the remnants of the soldiers and the people to line up again, each holding a spear diagonally upward, and when the enemy charged again, they put on a hedgehog formation, although they withstood a wave of impact, but they were still broken by waves of continuous attacks, leaving corpses in one place and then running around, not that they were not brave, it was really not worth dying like this.

After the soldiers fled, the cavalry began to set fire to the grain in the logistics camp even more unscrupulously, and suddenly the truckloads of grain and grass were full of flames, and billowing black smoke shot straight into the sky.

Xue Wanche saw the smoke billowing from the camp in the distance, and he was anxious, desperately urging the horses under his crotch, and the soldiers behind him were also eager to grow wings and fly to the enemy's side. When they arrived, they heard the screams of people shouting and neighing, scolding, and crying from afar, and the whole camp was plunged into extreme chaos.

Grabbed a frightened Tang army and asked about the situation, and then Xue Wanche began to adjust the deployment of troops, and those panicked soldiers and people finally saw their soldiers and horses, as if they had found the backbone, and immediately obediently followed the back of the large army and set off together.

When the Tatar cavalry looked at the Tang army in front, they formed their own team without waiting for the general's notice and then rushed towards the Tang army with shouts.

Xue Wanche raised his arms and shouted: "These dog mongrels dare to betray my Datang and prepare to attack!" Kill them all. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and both armies began to charge, and they got closer and closer, and then with a "boom", they collided together.

The Tang army attacked with anger, Xue Wanche took the lead in the charge, and the two sides were inseparable, while the remaining cavalry were still setting fire to the camp, and the remaining people were still desperate to put out the fire and rescue the grain and grass, and the entire logistics camp was still in chaos.

Xue Wanche watched the Arrowy cavalry set fire to the camp, but he couldn't break through the barrier of the Arrowhead cavalry. The grain and grass of the logistics battalion is to supply 300,000 troops, the number is innumerable, and the entire camp is piled up everywhere, and now it is ignited by the cavalry, and the people's desperate efforts to fight the fire are useless, and they can only watch the fire swallow up all the food supplies.

It can be said that the commander of the cavalry this time is very discerning, and he is very ruthless, he knows that the Tang army is strong in combat and has a large number of people, so they came directly to the grain and grass of logistics, and they found the key point of the Tang army at a glance.

Their main goal is not to kill people, hundreds of thousands of Tang troops just stand still and let them kill it, it is estimated that they will not be able to kill them all, but after burning the grain and grass of the Tang army, this Eastern Crusade launched by the Tang Emperor will definitely end hastily. In this way, he can not only complete the task assigned to him by the leader, but also reduce the casualties of his own tribe.

The Goguryeo camp was still in chaos, the defeated soldiers were running around the camp in a panic, and the middle and low-level generals could not find their own soldiers, and there was no way to organize effective resistance, so the scene became more and more chaotic. The whole camp was full of people crying and shouting and running around, and occasionally someone organized a team of dozens of people, who had just taken their weapons and prepared to resist in formation, but they were rushed and dispersed by the crowd.

Just when they were about to collapse, they suddenly felt a light pressure, and the Tang army's offensive showed signs of stopping. Gao Yanshou had already received the news that the Yan Ya cavalry had come to help, and he was immediately overjoyed. Then immediately spread the news, learned that there were reinforcements, the morale of the Goguryeo army was immediately boosted, Gao Yanshou took this opportunity to bring his own personal soldiers, and quickly collected the defeated soldiers in the Chinese army, he rode on a horse and personally led the team, everyone with bows, arrows, shields, spears, began to line up, and advanced towards the Tang army.

When those defeated soldiers saw their generals go out in person, they immediately seemed to have found a home, and their panicked mood quieted down, and where Gao Yanshou passed by, the scene could be calmed down immediately, and then those defeated soldiers immediately looked for their respective generals, they picked up weapons on the spot, and also consciously formed a formation, closely following behind Gao Yanshou's team, and marching towards the Tang army.
