Chapter 226: Return to the Iron Horse
"Yes!" Qiu Wenbo said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Nowadays, Bu Yunfei's official position is Xiao Cavalry Captain, and his official position is above Qiu Wenbo, so Qiu Wenbo said "obey orders"! Li Riyue is Bu Yunfei's brother, and he readily agreed.
Bu Yunfei nodded and said: "General Qiu, King Li, you go to the camp of the six armies, not only to protect the safety of the two adults, but more importantly, once the six armies mutiny, you must lead three hundred Chen Cang soldiers to quickly rush to the imperial tent of the Chinese army to separate the imperial tent from the rebellious soldiers, so as to ensure that the emperor and the concubine are safe." ”
"Understood!"
Chao Yongzhi said: "Lord Xue and Lord Wei instigated the Six Armies to mutiny, although it is feasible. But once the Sixth Army mutinied, Ma Weipo would inevitably be in chaos, and although it was beneficial to us, it was even more beneficial to the Tubo and Hui people, who could attack the camp without much effort! Especially the Tubo people, stationed in Mangshan, close to the Chinese army camp, I heard that the six armies have changed, they can go straight to the camp, the six armies are scattered, can not organize effective resistance, when the time comes, even if we can kill Yang Guozhong, Qiu Wenbo and Li Riyue with three hundred soldiers, I am afraid that we will not be able to protect the emperor! ”
Bu Yunfei smiled faintly: "The Tubo people are certainly strong. However, Bu thought that there was no need to worry! In fact, there is only one purpose of the Tibetan people - the Buddha's true body relics! The concubine Niangniang had already seen through her ambitions, hid the Buddha's bones in the fan, and sent them out of the camp. If the Tibetan people can't see the Buddha's bones, they won't shoot easily! After all, helping Yang Guozhong kidnap the Tang Emperor, for them, is just making a wedding dress for Yang Guozhong, but in the end, they will gain nothing, and they will have to take the lives of the Tubo soldiers, and the Tubo people will not do this kind of loss-making business! Bu expected that once the six armies mutinied, the Tubo people should stand by and watch! Even so, it is also necessary to be careful, Chao Yongzhi, Ding Kui, Du Qianyun, and An Qingzong can lead the Anxi knife players to set up an ambush at the foot of Mangshan Mountain to monitor the Tubo army. If the Tubo army has any abnormal movements, there is no need to fight with it, just clamoring in the dark, the Tubo people are thousands of miles deep into the Tang Dynasty, unknown geography, and in the middle of the night, they can't get the Buddha's bones, they are already disappointed, and they don't want to fight to the death. ”
"That's a good idea! Chao went to Mangshan. Chao Yongzhi nodded: "But if the Tubo people stand by and watch, wouldn't the Hui people be even more fearless?" The Hui cavalry came and went like the wind, and once they entered the camp, no one could resist it! "Chao Yongzhi once served in the Anxi army and saw the power of the Hui cavalry.
Bu Yunfei nodded: "Chao is extremely worried!" This time, there is some trouble! It seems that Bu Mou needs to go on a trip himself! ”
"The eldest brother wants to resist the Hui people, and the younger brother will definitely follow!" Baye Gu said in a muffled voice.
"Baye Gu went to the Huifu military camp with a certain step, but it was excellent!" Bu Yunfei nodded: "However, I still want to ask Master Cui to go with Bu Mou." ”
Cui Guangyuan finally shirked the task of going to the Chinese army to instigate mutiny, and when he heard Bu Yunfei say this, he was startled: "Cui has no power to restrain the chicken, how did Cui do this thing of going into battle and killing!" ”
The Hui cavalry is even more powerful than the six armies of the Praetorian Guard, and if it falls into the hands of the forbidden army, there is still a way to distinguish it, and if it falls into the hands of the Hui people, then there is only waiting for the knife!
Bu Yunfei smiled faintly: "Don't worry, Lord Cui, we are not going to fight with the Hui people." ”
"Although he didn't fight, but the people were very cruel, if he turned his face and made a noise, wouldn't Cui want to drag the general back." Cui Guangyuan was sweating.
Cui Shuquan became impatient: "Dad! Brothers are born and die, as the Tang Dynasty Jing Zhaoyin, you don't do this, you don't do that, it's hard to sit back and enjoy it! To be a son of a father like you, I'm ashamed to death! If you don't go, I'll go! ”
Cui Guangyuan sighed: "I am a lot old, but I was taught by my son, and it is enough to fail to be a man to do this!" Anyway, Cui went with General Bu. ”
When Ba Yegu heard that he was not going to fight, he was greatly disappointed: "Big brother, if you don't fight, then what are we going to do?" ”
……
On the Wuling Plateau, the cold wind mixed with the neighing of horses whistled in the open field.
The so-called plateau is the loess plateau, which is several zhang higher than the surrounding area, forming a commanding height, which can overlook the surrounding dozens of miles, and the platform is flat and bare. In winter, the cold wind is like a knife and saw, wreaking and whistling on the platform, without hindrance, tearing all life apart and blowing away, except for the frozen loess, there is not a single grass on the platform, and it is slaughtered.
The 2,000 Hui cavalry, without unloading their armor or saddles, lined up on a smooth platform like a mirror, but all the generals did not ride on horseback, but stood beside the war horse.
The cold wind was bitter, and the tattered clothes and armor of the Hui soldiers fluttered in the cold wind. But every Hui soldier did not wilt because of the cold wind, on the contrary, their formation exuded a murderous aura that was even more chilling than the north wind!
Hui has always been known for its poverty! The Hui people who live in the bitter cold land of Mobei live in pursuit of water and grass, have no fixed place to live, and are in short supply of daily necessities. The Hui army does not have the dazzling banner of the Tang army, and cloth is a scarce luxury, which can only be used to keep out the cold, and cannot be used as a flag with no practical significance! They don't even have the standard antelope skin cotton clothes of the Tibetan soldiers, and they want to use this precious fur to exchange salt and tea from the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Uighur army is the most shabby army.
However, this does not mean that their combat effectiveness will also be so shabby!
Many times, the combat effectiveness of the army, inversely proportional to their equipment, was especially prominent in the era of cold weapons.
I thought that the equipment was shabby, because of the serious shortage of logistics supplies, which made the Hui army more bloodthirsty than the Tang army and the Tubo army!
As the saying goes, those who wear straw sandals are not afraid to wear leather boots!
If the Hui people have nothing, they have no hesitation!
The only way to kill the opponent and turn the opponent's flesh and blood into their own sustenance is the only choice for the Hui people!
Therefore, the Hui people, like the steppe wolves, have the courage to give up their lives at any time, and also have the ferocity to tear apart their opponents at any time!
On the terrace, a bonfire lit up in the cold wind.
The raging fire is not used for heating - the Hui people are not afraid of the cold, they even like the cold, because, in the case of inferior equipment to the opponent, the cold is their equipment - the cold can weaken the opponent's willpower and combat effectiveness! Even, help them disarm their opponents!
One of the most realistic implications is that cold can freeze an opponent's bowstring and make them lose ranged attack. And the Uighurs don't have to worry about this at all - they have almost no archers!
Then, the advantage of their cavalry running long distances was completely highlighted!
Tonight's cold, just right!
The Hui people believe that the cold has wiped out the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Army of the Tang Praetorian Guard.
So, they lit a bonfire.
The meaning of the existence of bonfires is only that they can show their existence!
The Uighurs have made all the preparations for action, and all they have to do now is to let their opponents know that they are coming!
For yourself, this is a belief in victory, and for the enemy, this is a psychological deterrent!
The Uighurs galloped in the desert steppe, swept across the Western Regions, and where they passed, they were invincible, and even the Turks, who had always dominated the desert north, were finally defeated under their iron hooves!
The only one who has ever defeated them is the army of the Tang Dynasty!
The Hui people's fear of the Tang Dynasty is not only because of the strength of the Tang Army, but also because of the incomparable prosperity of the Tang Dynasty!
In the eyes of the Hui people, Datang is heaven, and this is the only country that convinces them! For this reason, the Hui people willingly lowered their seniority and claimed to be their nephews to the Tang Dynasty.
After decades of bloody battles, the Uighurs finally defeated their old enemy, the Turks, and established a vast and powerful khanate in Mobei, with no country in the vast area of Mobei that could compete with it. Then, the Hui people turned around and headed south, heading straight for the Western Regions.
In the Western Regions, in front of them, two competitors appeared.
One is Tibet, and the other is the Tang Dynasty.
For Tibet, the Hui people will never back down!
The Tang Dynasty, on the other hand, is an ally of the Hui people.
For ten years, the Hui army and the Tang army fought side by side in the Western Regions.
The Tang Army is armed to the teeth, strict military discipline, and incomparable tactical literacy, which makes the Hui people stunned!
They never thought that they would fight against such an army, it was the army of the Heavenly Khan, it was the army of the Son of Heaven!
They willingly crawled at the feet of the Tang army and willingly served the Tang army by opening the way.
And today, the Hui people are going to war against the Tang Army, whom they greatly admire!
All signs show that the Tang army under the Wuling Plateau is completely different from the Shuofang, Anxi, and Longyou armies. This is a Tang army that is very incomprehensible to the Hui people, who not only lack training, but also seriously lack fighting spirit!
They are even worse than the Turks, who have already become outcasts!
But, whatever one may say, they are the Don Army!
This alone is enough to make the blood of the Hui people boil - it is the wish of a warrior to go to war with an adversary they admire!
Two thousand Hui cavalry, dressed in tattered armor, stood tall in the cold wind, brushing and looking at the blazing bonfire!
By the campfire, Ke Zhi was dressed in iron and sat on a mazaar.
The flames shone on his face, a weathered and rough face.
This face hides his age, in the Tang Dynasty, especially in Chang'an, the richest and most magnificent city in the world, this face should belong to middle-aged people over forty years old!
But Ko Zhi was only twenty-eight years old!
Ke Zhi, who is the protector of Hui Yehu, has more clothes and armor on his body than the clothes and armor of his soldiers.
The padded padded jacket was covered with white flowers, and the sleeves were stained with blackened blood, which had been left by years of battle, and I did not know whether it was the enemy's or his own.
The only thing that stood out was the felt hat on his head and the iron armor on his chest.
The felt hat was made of wolf skin, the fur of a wolf, and the color of the fur was as white as new. And the iron armor on his chest was shiny and shiny, and under the reflection of the firelight, it emitted bursts of cold light.
