Chapter 229: On the horse Liwei
As soon as nightfall, a gray carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and soared into the sky from the Qarluq garrison, circled in a circle, and hurried towards the direction of Whitewater City. At the same time, Sima Chuan happened to finish changing his mount and left the east gate of Baishui City behind.
"Why don't you just make an appointment for the event? Wouldn't we have been able to arrange it better? Guo Xi's full suit of armor was quite heroic, and Yang Qing felt a little jealous in his heart.
"This kind of thing, moving and affecting the whole body, both sides will be cautious. If you say it too sure, maybe the big cannibal will be suspicious. Besides, our understanding of Mouluo Ganda is really not as good as that of Ayiji's Hu Shang, if we want Qi Yade to really get into the scene, the more cautious we are, the better. Yang Qing saw that Guo Xi was still a little suspicious, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Xilie doesn't have to worry too much, the little brother sees that the letter that Ayiji has never sent is quite well written, let's take a good deal of it ourselves, and we are not afraid that he will turn the sky upside down." ”
"Hmm." Guo Xi didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so he diverted the topic, "Although Gao Gong believes that even if there is an enemy attack, the scale will not be too large, but after all, it is their main force, and the combat power is high. Jian Yuwei was ordered to intersperse and disrupt the enemy's deployment...... If the enemy is too big, do you say that our baby will be revealed? ”
To be honest, Yang Qing was not willing to let firearms appear so early, and he agreed with Gao Xianzhi's judgment - the first raid after the main force of the Great Food was assembled would definitely come quickly, but the scale should not be very large. In this era, night warfare had too many difficulties for both warring sides, especially the difficulty of command and coordination, which had no high-tech means of communication, and second, there was no reliable night vision equipment, and fighting a night war was to a great extent a matter of luck, and the key was to "surprise." Once the number of people increases, it becomes a problem to distinguish friend from foe in the melee. The use of firearms in such a situation, not to mention the secret, how good can the effect be?
However, Yang Qing can still understand Guo Xi's thoughts, and dare to lead a few thousand men and horses to maneuver around in the midst of more than ten times stronger enemies, and completely annihilate a thousand-person team without dying a single soldier, even if he lacks anything, he will not lack courage and courage. Guo Xi mentioned this stubble definitely not because he was worried about how strong the enemy was, he wanted to take advantage of the first opportunity of the main battle to give Jian Yu Wei Liwei.
After figuring out this section, Yang Qing laughed: "Xilie, this is not like you." Who are we? The Son of Heaven is pro-army! Liwei has to be bigger, right? If the big cannibal really dared to touch it overnight, he wouldn't be able to see the full effect of this black light. You tell me? ”
Guo Xi embarrassedly gave Yang Qing a punch: "Okay, listen to you!" ”
Ziyad led his troops to slowly ascend the tower, and under the city, the two thousand light cavalry led by Mohad himself were ready to attack the camp, and the camp tent of Anxi in the distance was not abnormal.
"The Anxi Army's position is very stable." Qi Yad tried to distinguish the Anxi military camp that seemed to be different from the afternoon, and from the direction of the brazier distribution, it seemed to be open? "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have been dealing with the Anxi Army for many years, what is the reputation of their formation? Why does it seem a little ...... Wrong? ”
Talaridan himself is a scheming man, and after the great changes in his family and country, his heart is more tenacious and cautious, but at this moment, after seeing the position of the Anxi army, he calmed down.
"General Yu, this formation is called the Kei Formation, which is a common formation for night guard, and its characteristics are that it attaches great importance to the defense of the flanks, and the Chinese army and the rear army retreat to the rear, which is no different. What the general saw during the day was the Fangyuan Formation, which was the most commonly used attack formation. ”
Although Qi Yad is a high-ranking general in Khorasan and has experienced countless fierce battles in his life, after all, he has never seen the formation inherited by the Tang Dynasty in Middle Earth for thousands of years. The habit of the Arab cavalry to meet the enemy is quite close to the routine of Cheng Zhijie, a fierce general in the early Tang Dynasty, and pays attention to the three-plate axe - longbow cavalry shooting, surprise attack and killing, and roundabout circumcision. The spelling is a "fast" word, the horse should be fast, the knife should be fast, and the person should be faster. The cavalry troops, which barely had even armor, could not understand why the Tang Empire army was tossing in a formation on the left and a formation on the right. Qi Yade is a studious person, and he has never had the idea of despising the Anxi Army, if it were in normal times, he would definitely study and discuss it, but at this moment he only cared about whether Gao Xianzhi expected his actions and whether he made targeted arrangements - Mohard was still waiting for his orders.
"What does His Royal Highness the Prince mean...... Can you do a surprise attack? ”
Tararidan nodded affirmatively: "According to the deployment of the general, at such a close distance, not to mention whether the Anxi army has the time to react to organize bows and crossbows for defense, even if they have this time, the dark and slimy night will not be accurate at all." The Kei array emphasized the defense of the flanks, but General Mohad's cavalry went straight to the center, and the number of two thousand elites was not flexible enough, and it was difficult for the Anxi army not to suffer losses tonight. ”
Qi Yade nodded: "Good! Order, go! ”
In order to achieve the best effect, Mohard, the number one fierce general under Ziyad, took great pains, taking advantage of the cover of night, the war horses that had wrapped their hooves were all put on a small number of chews, the knife was not out of the sheath, and the people did not get on the horse, so they first touched the distance of three hundred paces!
Mohd, who was in the lead, could almost see the young faces of the night patrol soldiers under the torches in front of him, almost.
"Get on your horse, charge!"
The difficult conditions of the Gobi Desert are not nonsense, the weather in July, the scorching sun at noon can directly roast people, at this time the Anxi army launched a siege attack, the Great Food Alliance Army grabbed weapons and went to the city tower at the same time in the bottom of their hearts and the women of the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty senior generals had a super friendly relationship, but at night, it was a living person who couldn't wait to wrap a fur coat around his body, cold!
A cold wind blowing from unknown directions made Xi Mugao, who served as the guard post for the striker tonight, shiver involuntarily, damn it, the wind is as biting!
General Li confessed that there was an eighty percent chance that the beard on the other side would come to touch the camp tonight, but he had to wake up his spirits. But...... But...... You're going to fucking come in a hurry! This nest is behind the rejection of the horse and does not block the wind, I want to walk around to warm up my body, and I am afraid of alarming the stinky beards, if I scare them back...... Imagine General Li's appearance that is more fierce than the door god, yes, let's continue to nest, cold and cold, if only there was a pot of wine now, fight to get twenty military sticks......
Suddenly, as if smelling a trace of unusual smell, Xi Mugao raised his head violently and looked to the west, it was still black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, damn it, the moon was also obscured. Xi Mugao's heart became more and more uneasy, and he simply leaned down and listened to it.
Although the sound of "Boom ......" was not loud, the thunderous sound was still very real, and Xi Mugao jumped three feet high as if he had been stung by a scorpion: "Enemy attack!" ”
The heart-rending warning sound was so piercing in the empty wilderness that even Hamed couldn't help but be shocked, and subconsciously shouted: "Draw the sword!" ”
The Tang soldiers on the sentry post have been scattered, if it is Abdullah or Muhammad who leads the team, they will definitely be extremely surprised, in their feelings in the past few days, the Anxi army is not like this. But Mohard was new to the city, and his heart was high, so where would he care about this, in his opinion, this was really a normal reaction. The only thing that upset him was that these checkpoints were running too fast, and his sword hadn't drunk human blood for many days.
Xi Mugao was also lucky to run fast, he was already scared into a cold sweat on his back, thanks to his alertness, although he was mentally prepared, but who would have expected that the stinky beard would come so quickly? If the reaction is too late just now, my life will definitely not be guaranteed!
Leading his colleagues on the sentry post, Xi Mugao flashed behind the camp tent on the right side in three or two clicks, and behind him was the rumbling Great Eater Cavalry. Fortunately, the big cannibals were not interested in their little shrimp at all, and went straight to the Chinese army all the way non-stop. Two hundred paces apart, the tents of the camp stretched out of the open area of 2,000 paces, like a guard of honor welcoming Mohard, standing solemnly and silently.
Close, close. Mohad could even see the chaotic and chaotic figures in the camp tent where the candles were hurriedly lit, and he could even clearly hear the panicked and angry shouting and scolding, he grinned, under such a high-speed raid, no army could react, the Anxi army, hum, nothing more than that!
"Dangchang!" The rear team of the Great Food Light Cavalry skillfully used the brazier between the tents, ignited the oilcloth arrows prepared early and quickly shot them to the left and right camps, and then smashed the black oil (oil) urn to the ground, and after kicking over the brazier, the fire could burn all night. The so-called murder and arson, these two things are generally done together.
It's a pity that they didn't notice, and just behind them, a group of ghostly figures quietly appeared.
Jian Yuwei received a combat order that if the enemy sent a brigade of more than 5,000 men to raid, he would wait for the opportunity to intercept it halfway, divide it and gather to annihilate it; If it is less than this number, it will be attacked from behind after all of them enter the ambush circle - Gao Gong's appetite is not big, and it is not small to say that it is not small, and the first confrontation will still be able to cushion the stomach after eating half a team of 10,000 people. According to Gao Gong's original words, the scale of 100,000 people, eating him 5,000 is just right, the pain is certain, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and they have to be intimidated by the methods of the Anxi army, and it is best to be painful, afraid and eager to get back to the field. Liwei has to stand like this!
Guo Xi and Yang Qing glanced at each other, and smiled helplessly - I didn't expect the big cannibal to be so ungenerous.
"I'm afraid it's up to two thousand." Guo Xi's urn was angry, as if he had been wronged.
"Mosquitoes are small, but they're also meat." Yang Qing pursed his lips and asked the five thousand Jian Yuwei to deal with the two thousand light cavalry...... There are also ambushes...... Also flanked ......
"Forget it, finish early and go to bed early!" Guo Xi was very unhappy, and viciously whipped the horsewhip, "Attack!" ”
