Chapter 154: Holding Back
The siege went on for a whole morning, and none of the Turgish people could climb the city wall, and Modo, who was riding on horseback and watching his men suffer heavy casualties but found nothing, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand: "Order, let the first group of siege teams withdraw!" ”
"Yes, sir!" One of the guards agreed, waved the flag, and the horn of the retreating bull horn sounded, and the remaining Turgish soldiers under the city wall who were still desperately climbing up the ladder were like amnesty, and they all turned around and ran back with the ladder.
These siege Turgish armies are one of the troops of the Turgish Eagle Division, and the official and military systems of the Turgish are all based on the official positions and military systems of the Turkic Empire, and there are three major types of Turgish armies, which are called the guards in their names, the people who control the strings and the Tuojin, and are also called the Tiger Division, the Eagle Division and the Leopard Division.
The army of the Turkish was formed with the tribe as a military unit, and each tribe had an army, which was personally led by the chiefs of each tribe.
The Tiger Division is a guard, carefully selected from all the armies in the country and then specially trained, so it is also called the elite of the elite, it is the personal soldier of the ten surnamed Khan of the Turgish, equivalent to the Praetorian Guard, the combat effectiveness is the strongest of the three major military branches, and is personally commanded by the Khan.
The Eagle Division, or the Commander of the Strings, was the most common and largest army of the Turks, with cavalry in the majority and a small number of infantry made up of foreign slaves, and the siege was carried out by such a force.
Takaka, which means warrior or warrior. This army is not large in number, it is the personal soldiers of the chiefs of the tribes, and its combat effectiveness is somewhat stronger than that of the Eagle Division, but it is not as good as the Tiger Division of the Turgish Khan, and it is smaller in number than the Tiger Division and the Eagle Division.
These three troops are not only different in combat effectiveness, but also very different in weapons and equipment, the weapons of the Eagle Division and the Tiger Division are basically the same, but they are completely different in armor, and each soldier of the Tiger Division has a complete set of helmets and armor. The soldiers of the Eagle Division are basically leather armor and light cavalry, so the soldiers of the Tiger Division and the soldiers of the Eagle Division can be distinguished from the armor.
Taka is the personal soldier of the chiefs of various tribes, and the different ethnic groups have great differences in customs, so the weapons and equipment used are also different, which can be said to be varied.
"Lord Modo, after counting, there were six hundred casualties in one morning!"
Modo listened to the report of battle losses and clenched his fists. He let go and said: "Let the wolf cubs eat and drink enough, continue to attack the city in the afternoon, and within two days, even if all these slaves are dead, they will take General Pei City!" “
"Yes, Master Wanfu!"
Ten thousand cavalry is the largest military establishment of the Turkic Empire, the military position of the general is the commander of ten thousand horses, and there are thousands of commanders, centurions and ten commanders, and the post-Turkic in the northern grasslands of the Central Plains also followed the official position and military system of the Turkic Empire, and the official system and military system are basically the same as those of the Turkic Empire.
Yezhi City.
The main force of the Southern Route Army led by Fumon Lingcha arrived here in the evening. The army had just set up camp outside the city to prepare a fire to make food, and Fumeng Lingcha summoned the generals to discuss the big tent of the Chinese army and arrange the next march.
"Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and there are five days left until the fifteenth day of August, Captain Lei. Is there any news from Zhao Ziliang's side? ”
Captain Lei Wu, who was left by Zhao Ziliang to guard Yezhi City, hurriedly stood up and bent down and saluted: "General Qiqi, General Zhao sent someone over yesterday to order Captain Wei Meng to lead his troops to converge, according to the person who came, General Zhao has taken General Pei City!" ”
"Oh? So fast? Fu Meng Lingcha was a little surprised when he heard this. Daxi said: "Hahaha, okay, take General Pei City." We'll be able to take Shattered Leaf City directly! ”
Dugu Jun, who joined the army, praised: "With 3,000 cavalry, in less than ten days, he traveled thousands of miles and won five cities in a row, this Zhao Ziliang is really brave!" ”
Judge Liu Wei smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this matter is inseparable from Lord Bian's recommendation, if it weren't for Lord Bian's strong recommendation, how would we know that Zhao Ziliang has such ability?" ”
Everyone knows that the reason why Bian Lingcheng recommended Zhao Ziliang as the vanguard to lead 3,000 cavalry to open the way in front was ill-intentioned, obviously he wanted to kill Zhao Ziliang, but he didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to really take five cities in a row within the specified time, and in turn slapped Bian Lingcheng hard.
When the generals heard Liu Wei's words, they all burst into laughter: "Hahaha・・・・・・"
Bian Lingcheng saw that he had become the laughing stock of everyone, his face turned blue and red for a while, and finally he said shamelessly: "Hahaha, or Lord Ben's wisdom is a hero, General Fumeng, don't forget to leave Lord Ben's recommendation on the performance in the future!" ”
The generals didn't expect Bian Lingcheng's skin to be so thick, not only did he not feel ashamed, but he also talked and laughed and put gold on his face, and they couldn't help but want to vomit.
At this moment, the captain of the camp gate walked quickly into the big tent and bowed: "General Qiyu, there is a messenger sent by General Zhao Ziliang outside the camp saying that there is an important military report and is waiting outside the camp gate."
Everyone was stunned, Fu Meng Lingcha reacted, and immediately raised his hand: "Quick, let him in!" ”
No, the captain of the camp gate led a Tang soldier in, and the Tang soldier carried a tube on his back, and bowed down and said: "The villain is tall and bullish, it is a messenger under General Zhao, meet General Fumeng!" ”
Fu Meng Lingcha nodded, and was about to speak, but he didn't want Bian Lingcheng to speak first: "Gao Da Niu, is there anything wrong with Zhao Ziliang sending you?" ”
Fu Meng Lingcha glanced at Bian Lingcheng, his expression was extremely dissatisfied, Gao Da Niu looked at Bian Lingcheng, and then looked at Fu Meng Lingcha, and saw that Fu Meng Lingcha nodded, so he took off the bamboo tube from his back and presented it with both hands: "General, this is the battle report that General Zhao asked the villain to give to the general!" ”
"Get it!"
After taking the bamboo tube, he opened it, took out a scroll from it, checked that there was nothing unusual before presenting it to the past, and Fu Meng Lingcha took the scroll and opened it and looked at it.
Zhao Ziliang wrote on this scroll the details of the five towns captured along the way since the expedition, including the tactics used, the tactics, the tactics used, the types of troops used, the number of weapons and arrows lost, the number of troops and horses lost, the number of enemy troops captured and the trophies captured, etc., are clearly written on it.
Fu Meng Lingcha nodded again and again, and said yes from time to time. Judge Liu Wei couldn't help but ask, "General, what's good?" Do you mean that Zhao Ziliang's battle was fought well, or is the style of this war report good? ”
Fu Meng Lingcha said while looking at it: "It's all good, the battle is well fought, and the battle report is well written, which makes people feel like they are there, and everything is very detailed!" ”
Speaking of which. Fu Meng Lingcha's color suddenly changed, and when everyone saw this, their originally happy hearts rose again, and Dugu Jun couldn't help but ask, "General, what's wrong?" ”
After reading it, Fu Meng Lingcha said: "Zhao Ziliang is in trouble, Tuhuo Immortal sent his general Wanfu Chang Mo Duo to lead more than 10,000 people to besiege General Pei City!" ”
Everyone couldn't help but worry when they heard the news, and Dugu Jun said worriedly: "Most of Zhao Ziliang's hands are cavalry, let the cavalry defend the city, can you stop Moduo's attack?" ”
Fu Meng Lingcha said: "Don't worry about this problem, most of Modo's soldiers and horses are cavalry. And they are not good at attacking the city, what the general is worried about is that the Tucai Shi people must know the importance of General Pei's city, and they will attack desperately, Zhao Ziliang does not have many troops in his hands, and he can use even fewer with confidence, and many of the troops are Tuqi Shi people, in case these people are bewitched by the Tuqi Shi people outside the city, and suddenly rebel, Zhao Ziliang will not be able to suppress it! Zhao Ziliang said at the end of the battle report. He was also a little worried, so he hoped that General Ben would be able to send troops and horses to advance quickly and go to reinforcements first."
When Bian Lingcheng heard this, his eyes rolled. Hurriedly said: "General Fumeng, I think you are too worried, with Zhao Ziliang's ability, how can you worry about this trivial matter, he just wants you to rush to the meeting as soon as possible." He may take off his burdens. Now that our army has just arrived, the soldiers are exhausted from the days and nights of marching. Even if you get there, you can't go to the battlefield, and it's easy to be found by the Turk people, in Bian's opinion, it's better to let the army rest here for two days, and wait for the soldiers to recover their strength and spirit before they set off on the camp! ”
Bian Lingcheng is the supervisor of the army, although he has no command power, but as the emperor's representative, what he says still has a lot of weight, and Fu Meng Lingcha can't completely ignore it, otherwise the relationship is too stiff not only to be bad for him, but also not for the war, Bian Lingcheng can ignore the overall situation, but he can't ignore the overall situation.
However, Fu Meng Lingcha's anger still broke out all of a sudden, and he slapped the table and was furious: "Lord Bian, the military situation is like fire, Zhao Ziliang and thousands of soldiers are in danger in General Pei City, but you still have to rest here, if you want to stay, you will stay, this general will definitely not stay, leave the infantry to you, this general will lead the cavalry to rush to the aid first, all the soldiers listen to the order, pass the order down, all the cavalry will eat tomorrow, pull out the camp and set off at the hour, and rush to the aid of General Pei City!" ”
The congregation will stand up from both sides and promise in unison.
Coming out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Bian Lingcheng's face was gloomy, he knew very well that the importance of General Pei City to Tuqishi, but it was not so important to the Tang army, the Tang army marched hand in hand, even if the South Road army was blocked outside General Pei City, the North Road Army and the Three Kingdoms Army of Zhaowu Jiu could also arrive at the Broken Leaf City on time, which did not have much impact on the entire strategy, so he dared to ask Fu Meng Lingcha to rest all day in Yezhi City, and let Zhao Ziliang go alone to withstand Modo's onslaught, if Zhao Ziliang could not stop Modo's onslaught, it would be best, After the city was broken, he was killed, this is what he wants to see the most, if Zhao Ziliang didn't die, for him, there would be no loss, but his plan was ruined by Fu Meng Lingcha.
Steward Gui followed behind and couldn't help but say: "My lord, this Zhao Ziliang is really powerful, within ten days, he won five cities in a row with three thousand soldiers and horses, and the loss is almost negligible, such a person is too terrible, let's hurry up and find a way to kill him, otherwise once he has great power and heavy troops, it will be difficult to move him at that time!" ”
Bian Lingcheng stopped and turned around, and said coldly: "Don't you know that our family promised Mrs. that you can't attack him?" If he dies on the battlefield, it is his own death, and it has nothing to do with our family, but if he dies in the hands of our family, what does Madame think of our family? Your loyalty is known to our family, you don't have to worry, no matter how powerful he is, he is always just a general, at most he can only be a second-grade general, our family has friends and brothers in the court and in the palace, and are you afraid of him? ”
Steward Gui hesitated: "However, the slave is worried that he will be difficult to control in the future, in case he ・・・・・・."
Bian Lingcheng asked rhetorically: "Does he dare to rebel?" Now that my Datang is in full swing, whoever dares to rebel is a dead end! Well, I don't need to mention it anymore! ”
"No!" (To be continued.) )
