Chapter 42: The True Purpose

Soon, the Turkic cavalry also scattered and fled, and the 20,000 cavalry also disappeared under the blow of Wei Chigong. Strictly speaking, the mission goal of teaching the Turks a lesson this time had been accomplished, and Yu Chigong also rode back to the city wall of Jingyang County.

"Chen joined the army, it's really refreshing, I killed thirteen Turks just now! And his sons and daughters have also killed hundreds, which is really refreshing! Zhu Chunlin said excitedly.

And Lu Chen next to him also said: "Hehe, Lao Zhu, I killed fifteen of them this time, two more than you." ”

"Next time, next time I will definitely surpass you!" Lu Chen said.

"Cut, don't you all follow General Wei Chi to pick up cheap? If the Xuanjia army in front of you had broken through the Turkic formation, then I'm afraid you wouldn't have such a good chance! Chen Fei teased.

But Zhu Chunlin replied honestly: "Yes, if General Wei Chi did not lead the Xuanjia Army to directly use it as an 'arrow' to break the formation, if the Turks had a complete formation to meet our attack, then I am afraid we would not be able to achieve such results, and there would even be danger." This time, thanks to General Wei Chi and the emperor's Xuanjia Army, otherwise we are afraid that this cheap will not be easy to pick up! ”

Zhu Chunlin still understood the matter, after all, he knew that the light cavalry behind them was also following the heavy cavalry to pick up the cheap, and specifically cleaned up the scattered enemies. If there is no heavy cavalry as an "arrow" to break through the enemy's formation, then relying on the light cavalry to charge and kill by themselves may have little effect, and even pay a lot of money may not be able to kill the enemy. And this time, Wei Chigong personally took the Xuanjia Army as an arrow, and Wei Chigong, a brave general, also personally acted as the tip of the arrow at the tip of the arrow, which ensured that a large army could rush into the enemy's formation.

"Refreshing, this time I annihilated more than 1,000 enemies, and I also captured the general of this Turkic division, Ashi Dewumer, which dealt a good blow to the arrogance of the Turks." Wei Chigong said excitedly.

Wei Chigong can be regarded as a resounding slap in the face to the Turks this time, because more than 1,000 were annihilated at a time, which was nothing to 200,000 Turkic cavalry. However, the capture of the commander of the Turkic division is the most important thing, and it can seriously damage the enemy's morale. Therefore, strictly speaking, the task of striking down the morale of the Turks this time can be regarded as completed.

"General Wei Chi, have we completed this mission? Can we go back? Chen Fei asked.

And Wei Chigong shook his head and said, "If it's just me, then my task is completed." Because we are only here to combat the arrogance of the Turks, not to annihilate the Turks. And the Turks have a full 200,000 cavalry, and we are definitely no opponent. Our main battlefield is still in Chang'an, as long as we can hold Chang'an, then the Turks are doomed to return in vain, so we will be victorious. So it is impossible for us to be at war with the Turks here, and the Turks have already begun to attack Gaoling, and the defenders of Gaoling have already begun to retreat if nothing else. We won't last long, so we're already able to retreat. ”

Hearing that he could retreat, Chen Fei was happy for a while, because he finally didn't have to fight the enemy directly. However, Wei Chigong didn't seem to plan to retreat so early.

"However, this time I asked the prince to come over, in fact, in addition to fighting the arrogance of the Turks, there is actually another reason, that is, I want to try the bow and crossbow you proposed to restrain the enemy's cavalry. According to Chen's method of joining the army, that is, to use the method of three-fold shooting to fight against the cavalry of the Turks, and this tactic is only legendary in the Qin Dynasty. However, in reality, there is no actual combat example, so I want Chen to join the army to try it for himself, whether this method of shooting with a bow and crossbow in three stacks can work. If it works, then Chen's joining the army will make a great contribution to my Datang. ”

"Since ancient times, riding with foot has been a problem for me to treat the grassland in the Central Plains. In the original period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the emphasis was on using cavalry to restrain cavalry. Since then, we have always used our Central Plains heavy cavalry to restrain the light cavalry of the grassland, but the heavy cavalry cost is very huge, even if the King of Qin has tried his best to train for many years, he can only train 3,000 Xuanjia troops. And these 3,000 Xuanjia troops, if they are used to feed the infantry, it is enough for no less than 50,000 infantry. Therefore, it is unrealistic to rely on heavy cavalry to fight the Turks. Therefore, even if the means of infantry riding are very important, this is actually more important than fighting the arrogance of the Turks. As long as it can be proved that Chen's method of joining the army is effective, it means that even if I can't completely eliminate the Turks from now on, I don't have to be afraid of the Turkic invasion. So, this one must be tested. ”

Only then did Chen Fei know that the reason why Wei Chi Gong had to let himself come was that he wanted to test the three-fold shot of the bow and crossbow that Chen Fei personally proposed to restrain the enemy cavalry. And Chen Fei's method can only deal with light cavalry, but the Turks are seriously lacking in steel, and it is impossible to train heavy cavalry, which is why Chen Fei can use this method.

"Then why do you have to let me come? Can't other generals? Chen Fei asked.

But Wei Chigong said: "No, other generals are not very familiar with Chen Fei's method of joining the army." Therefore, it is better for Chen Fei to join the army and you personally command, so this is also the reason why I have to ask the prince to come over to you, after all, no one is more familiar with this tactic than you, the person who re-created the bow and crossbow formation. If you are afraid, you don't need to be afraid, if the Turks are close, I will send troops to save you! ”

"That's good, so I'm relieved!" Chen Fei said.

Wei Chigong showed a somewhat teasing smile, in Yu Chigong's opinion, Chen Fei's talent is good, but his personality is a little complicated. At the beginning, Chen Fei stopped Yu Chigong from killing that Li Wanrou, which actually made Yu Chigong a little surprised, because Chen Fei actually dared to stop himself, a brave general of the Tang Dynasty, to stop himself. Originally, Wei Chigong thought that Chen Fei was a very bold person who was not afraid of death, but in this situation, Chen Fei was also a scholar who was afraid of death, and he was not a brave warrior.

However, if Chen Fei knew Wei Chigong's thoughts, he would not object, because he was just a small soldier in the later life, and he didn't really want to go to the battlefield. As for what charge is on the front line, this Chen Fei will never do it. If you help out in the boss's camp, that's acceptable.
