Chapter Sixty-Seven: Longing for the First Achievement
The march was hurried, and early on the morning of the second day, Xu Ziling received a secret report from the internal guards that the Turkic Jieli Khan had sent a large army south and bypassed Xiazhou.
At the same time, another secret report attracted Xu Ziling's attention, which said that when Jieli Khan sent his army, a very strange thing happened in the Turks.
According to the strength of the two armies, Jieli Khan thought that he could easily defeat Tuli, but what made Jieli Khan unexpected was that Tuli Khan actually had the help of the Tang border army.
Reading this, Xu Ziling despised Li Shimin fiercely in his heart, no need to ask, this must be a good thing done by that guy, and the trick of internal division is so bad, despicable!
Xu Ziling put away the information and continued to march with the army towards Shuofang.
Just thirty miles south of Shuofang City, suddenly a scout came to report.
"Report to the general, a large number of Turkic troops have been found ahead!"
I can't imagine that the Turkic thieves dare to be so rampant, but you prefer to take care of the family affairs of the Tang Dynasty! When Chai Shao heard this, he immediately ordered the army to stop on the spot and discuss countermeasures.
After Xu Ziling listened to the scout's battle report, he subconsciously looked at the soldiers, and this group of Datang soldiers were waiting for each other one by one, without the slightest nervousness on their faces.
This made Xu Ziling feel a lot more at ease, this group of soldiers were all trained by Xu Ziling, if they were straw wrapped up at this moment, Xu Ziling would really have no face to return to Chang'an!
However, these soldiers can have such combat qualities, but they can't all benefit from Xu Ziling, this group of people is an elite soldier, and Xu Ziling's training is just icing on the cake.
It can be seen that Chai Shao is a very cautious commander, and when he heard the appearance of the Turkic army at this moment, the first thing he did was to stop and arrange tactical countermeasures.
Xu Ziling couldn't help but think of the two pieces of information he had just seen, especially the second one, the Turks had just experienced turmoil inside, and the Jieli Khan's army had been defeated again, so the group of Turkic soldiers at this moment definitely did not have enough morale!
Xu Ziling really wanted to take a telescope to look at the faces of the Turkic soldiers at this moment, so as to judge the morale of the Turkic army! He now knew how much a telescope would be useful in such a war!
At the moment when Xu Ziling was secretly analyzing the information in his heart, Xue Wanche hurriedly ran past him, and he bumped into Xu Ziling and was completely unknown.
"Hey, stop, stop!" Xu Ziling grabbed Xue Wanche, damn, he didn't know how to apologize when he bumped into Lao Tzu, this guy didn't know what to do in such a hurry, Xu Ziling was curious, so he asked: "General Xue, why are you in such a hurry?" ”
"Huh? General Chai summoned people to discuss countermeasures, didn't he call you? Xue Wanche asked curiously.
Looking at Xue Wanche, who had a scruffy beard and an innocent and pure face, coupled with this extremely hurtful sentence, Xu Ziling couldn't help but want to give this thing a kick.
The meeting that opens your mother's eggs, why not call it Lao Tzu! It seems that this Chai Shao should also look down on Lao Tzu in his heart, don't look at the giggling, brotherly and affectionate appearance along the way, that guy didn't regard himself as a regular general!
On the day, Xu Ziling suddenly had a stubborn temper in his heart, Lao Tzu won't prove it to you, you really don't know Lao Tzu's strength, right?
Xu Ziling looked at Xue Wanche, and suddenly smiled and said, "General Xue, do you want to make meritorious contributions?" You have been fighting in the army for a long time, you should know that this military industry is not so easy to take, right? ”
This military exploit, Xu Ziling deliberately asked Lao Du to study before coming. At that time, I was very bold with Lao Du, what kind of research on military merits, leading the brothers to make a fortune, it was all nonsense, this kid just wanted to get some military merits, and when he came back, he got a lot of money, his wife was pregnant, and he got more milk powder money!
However, after listening to Lao Du's explanation, Xu Ziling was completely stunned, damn, it was really not an easy task to get a military feat in the Tang Dynasty.
The enemy is divided into three categories: "going into battle", "middle formation", and "going down".
Among them, the one who strikes more with less than the enemy is "going into battle", the number of people on both sides is equal to the "middle battle", and the number of people greater than the opponent is "going down".
Killing enemies is divided into three classes, of which more than four-tenths of the enemy is "upper capture", more than two-tenths is "medium capture", and more than one-tenth is "lower capture".
Those who go to battle and win will be awarded first-class military merits.
Sure enough, Xu Ziling's words immediately attracted Xue Wanche's attention, "What? What does it mean? Of course I want to make meritorious contributions, and that's what I did when I fought the war! ”
This Xue Wanche, Zhen Nyima is simply a little stupid, it's good to meet me, if you meet someone like Li Shimin, if you say this kind of thing, you won't be despised to death.
At this kind of moment, you have to be hypocritical, of course what kind of war is not meritorious service, you have to be for the country, the country is above everything else, and you don't care about personal honor and disgrace, so that you can be promoted.
"This kind of military feat, won in battle, do you want to stand?" Xu Ziling continued to tempt.
"Yes! Why don't you want to! However, there is no way to do this! Xue Wanche's saliva was dripping.
"That's fine, you go and make a military order! He said that he would take five hundred light cavalry to break the Turkic army, and let General Chai lead the rest to bypass the battlefield and besiege Shuofang City! Xu Ziling was confident.
That Xue Wanche was overjoyed by this military exploit of "going into battle", and now he is still immersed in it, after listening to Xu Ziling's words, he didn't turn his head, and immediately pulled out his legs and ran towards Chai Shao's battle, "Brother Xu, wait for me, I'll come back immediately!" ”
Xue Wanche came to Chai Shao's big tent excitedly, completely ignoring Chai Shao's gloomy face, and just as he was about to finish, he heard Chai Shao's unkind tone: "Why are you late?" Do you know the strictness of military law? ”
Xue Wanche was a thriller at the moment, and he was in a cold sweat! Damn, Xu Ziling, you bastard, you killed Lao Tzu, you don't listen to the commander's orders on the battlefield, and if you don't execute the order in time, you will be killed!
However, this guy immediately had an idea, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "General, there is a reason why the mark is late!" ”
"What is the reason?" Chai Shao still had a bad tone.
"Hehe, general, I thought of a strategy to break the enemy, so it's too late," Xue Wanche said, "I am willing to lead five hundred light horsemen to break the Turkic thieves, so that the general can take this fighter to rush to Xiazhou to break the enemy!" ”
"Five hundred? Are you sure? Chai Shao said in surprise.
Sure, how can you be sure, damn, Lao Tzu still has to make military merits, how can you make military merits without leading troops to kill the enemy?
"Sure, please give the general an order!" Xue Wanche said.
At this moment, Xue Wanjun wanted to remind his second brother that it was too late, but he saw Chai Shaomei open his eyes and smiled: "Okay, I order you to bring five hundred light horsemen to fight the Turks!" ”
