Chapter 26: Reckoning and Counterreckoning
Chapter 26 Calculation and Counter-Calculation The Modao Battle Array has always been a big stone in the hearts of the generals of the Great Food, and they can't find a way to deal with it, but now they finally have a way to deal with it, and they can't do it if the generals are not happy.
"My lord, we have so many heavy cavalry, why don't we know about it?" There were generals who were both delighted and surprised.
"yes." The generals echoed in unison.
With the scientific and technological level of Great Food, it is not easy to build 30,000 heavy armored cavalry, Abu? The Muslims quietly built 30,000 heavily armored cavalry, much to the shock of the generals.
"Over the years, I have been working hard to put in the fine iron I can collect, and it is not easy to build such a heavy cavalry." Abu? Muslims are also a little proud, and said: "In order to give the Chinese an unexpected surprise, I naturally have to keep it secret and not reveal a little news." ”
"Huh!" The generals let out a burst of cheerful laughter: "When our two armies face each other, we suddenly send heavy armored cavalry to kill the Chinese's Modao battle formation, and the Chinese can only cry." ”
"I can't cry!"
The reason why the Tang army was invincible and destroyed dozens of countries had a great relationship with the Modao battle array. It can be said that the Modao battle array plays a vital role in the Tang army, even more important than the role of the strong crossbow, if it is broken by the Great Food, the blow to the Tang army can be imagined, and the Tang army will become a beast that has lost its minions. No matter how fierce the beast is, if it has no claws, it is just a cat.
"Do not rejoice too early." Abu? The Muslims were unusually sober, striking the joy of the generals, and said coldly: "Li Changguo, he can guess." ”
"This ......" generals were like being poured with a basin of cold water on their heads, and their smiles froze on their faces.
"The only one who can fight against the Modao battle array is the heavy armored cavalry, if you can't even think of this, Li Changguo is not worthy of commanding the army." Abu? The Muslim's words were first raised and then degraded, and after a moment of conversation, he said: "Even if he guesses, what can he do?" He doesn't know how many heavy cavalry we have, and he doesn't know when I'll use it, so that's enough. ”
"Yes. Li Changguo is a hairy boy, how can he be compared with an adult? When the adults were on the battlefield, Li Changguo had not yet been weaned. "The generals are busy patting Abu? The sycophants of Muslims greatly demean Li Changguo.
"In addition to this, we should also pay attention to one thing, send scouts to go deep into the desert to find out the movements of the Tang army." Abu? The Muslim grimaced and gave a loud order.
"My lord, why is that? Why do we want to go to the desert? "Some generals don't understand.
"What the adults mean is that the Chinese will march from the desert." Ziad Daib? The Muslim replied, "The Silk Road is not wide enough, and the road is not easy to walk, it is inconvenient for the army to move, and the Chinese cannot all go west from the Silk Road, but will march from the desert." If we focus only on the Silk Road and ignore the desert, we will suffer greatly. ”
"Oh." The crowd will be stunned.
xxxxxxxxx desert, Guo Ziyi's big tent. Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and a group of generals were here, drinking and eating meat, very happy, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Are you all ready?" Guo Ziyi asked while drinking.
"General Guo, please rest assured, we are ready, just waiting for the big dog to come." Some generals shouted loudly, their mouths were stuffed with meat, and their speech was a little slurred.
"General Guo, why do we want the big dog to find out?" Some generals asked puzzled.
"If you don't let Abu? Muslims have discovered, can that be done? Li Guangbi smiled and took a sip of wine, and then slowly explained, "Ebu? How could a Muslim not think that we would march from the desert? He's going to send someone to find out, and we can only reassure him if they find out. ”
"But aren't we exposed?"
"Yes. This is exposed, how can you deal with the big dog? ”
The generals echoed in unison.
"Don't worry, Dashuai has his own clever plan, and he will definitely deceive Abu? Muslim. Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi glanced at each other and nodded heavily, full of confidence.
"It's exposed, can you still be deceived? This is nonsense, right? The more the generals listened, the more confused they became.
If the Tang army in the desert was Abu? If the Muslims find out, then they will be in great trouble, Abu? Muslims will definitely find a way to deal with them, so they can't fight Abu? Muslims were caught off guard. In this way, the two armies will clash hard, which is not good for the Tang army. If you can sneak up on Abu? Muslims, there is no need to think about the consequences.
"Don't talk nonsense, you'll know when the time comes." Guo Ziyi obviously did not mean to reveal the secret.
Although the generals were curious, they didn't ask any more, because they knew very well the truth that "things are made in secret", and the less people knew about such a major secret, the better.
"General Yu, the leader of Qarlu asks to see you." A personal guard strode in and saluted Guo Ziyi.
"Call him in." Guo Ziyi nodded.
The guards received the order and went out to bring people.
"The Qarluq Ministry is here, how many troops will they send?" The generals are very concerned about this issue.
"I've seen General Guo." The leader of the Qarlu tribe, under the leadership of his personal guards, walked in quickly, saluted Guo Ziyi, and bowed his body ninety degrees, extremely respectful, with a sincere and frightened look.
The 200,000 Tang troops in the desert were a huge threat to the Turkic tribes, and it would be impossible for him not to be afraid.
"You may be seated." Guo Ziyi waved his hand.
"General Xie." The Qarluq chieftain hurriedly thanked him.
"General Yu, the leader of the bones asks to see." Another guard came in to report the report.
"Call him in." Guo Ziyi commanded.
The guards received the order and were busy leading people.
"Luckily, I arrived in the head, and the first one came, hehe." The leader of Qarlu laughed secretly in his heart, and he was very fortunate to be one step ahead.
The leader of Guligan came in and saluted Guo Ziyi: "I've seen General Guo." "The body has become ninety degrees, and the kind smile on his face is more cordial than seeing the ancestors.
If it was when the Turks were strong, the Turks were arrogant when they saw the Tang people, and they didn't take the Tang people seriously. Who would have imagined that only a few decades have passed, and the Turks are like Habagou, as good as they want, wagging their tails and begging for mercy.
"Sit down." Guo Ziyi waved his hand.
"General Xie." The leader of the bones was busy thanking him.
"General ......"
The guards came in one after another, reporting that Guo Ziyi had a Turkic tribe leader asking to see him.
Guo Ziyi asked them all to come in, and these leaders were very cordial when they saw Guo Ziyi as if they had seen their ancestors, and they spoke cautiously, for fear of provoking Guo Ziyi's dissatisfaction and causing a big disaster.
After a while, the whole tent was full of people, most of them were the leaders of the Turkic tribes, all of them sitting straight, like javelins, and the atmosphere was not out, looking cautious. Look at their respectful looks, even when the Turks were strong, they were not so respectful when they saw the Turkic khans, which is really emotional.
"The decisive battle between Datang and Dashi is imminent, and you have led the army to come to help, I am very relieved." Guo Ziyi slowly opened his mouth and asked, "How many soldiers and horses did you bring?" ”
The leader of Gelulu glanced at the leader of Guligan and hurriedly said, "General Guo, the Glolu Department has sent 60,000 troops. ”
"My backbone cadres sent 60,000 troops." Without grabbing the head, the leader of Guligan was very unhappy, glared at the leader of Qarlulu fiercely, and replied loudly.
"Our army sent 30,000 troops."
"Our department sent 10,000 troops."
"General Guo, there are few people in our department, the total number of accounts is only two, and two hundred troops are dispatched." It's a small tribe that couldn't be smaller.
The leaders of these tribes were busy making reports, and the number of troops varied from tens of thousands to tens of thousands.
"The Turkic tribes sent a total of more than 236,000 troops." By the time the reports of the various ministries were completed, Guo Ziyi had already calculated the total number, which was not a small number, even in the period when the Turks were at their strongest, there were not many times when they sent so many troops.
"Very good, you put the court first, and send so many troops, I will report to Your Majesty and ask for credit for you." Guo Ziyi said a word of encouragement.
"General Xie Guo." The leaders were overjoyed and thanked in unison.
Since returning to the Tang Dynasty, all actions have been subject to the Tang Dynasty's moderation, and if you can get the encouragement of the Tang Dynasty emperor, this is the supreme thing.
Especially those small tribes are the most happy, all of them open their mouths wide and are happy, as if they are celebrating a big festival. They may not have a chance to be praised by the Tang Dynasty for decades, because their tribe is too small and too weak, even if the Tang Dynasty wants the Turkic tribes to do things, they will not be able to do things, and they will look for those big tribes.
"How many horses did you bring?" Guo Ziyi asked again.
War horses are an extremely important strategic resource in the era of cold weapons, and the more war horses you have, the greater the advantage. The Turkic war horses were extremely important to the Tang Dynasty, and if there were a large number of Turkic war horses in this battle, the chances of victory would be greater.
"Back to the general, one man and two horses." The leaders replied in unison.
One person and two horses are the standard configuration of the Turks, with two war horses, they can be ridden in turn, so that the horses can be changed without changing people, which is also the reason why the Turkic army comes and goes like the wind, and the speed is abnormal.
The Turks have nearly half a million fine war horses with one person and two horses, which is definitely good news. In the next big battle, it will definitely play a shocking effect, Guo Ziyi was happy in her heart, but she was silent, her face was solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "I am very pleased that you came to help in the war." However, the ugly words are ahead, and you must obey the order, if anyone dares to disobey the order, hum, they will be destroyed! ”
Although the Turkic tribes rushed to help in the war, they also had their own small abacus, and they wanted to reap the benefits. You have to beat and beat, or you won't be able to command them. You must know that the Turks do not have as strict military discipline as the Tang Dynasty, and they are very loose, so this has to be guarded against.
"Obey." How dare the leaders say nothing.
Guo Ziyi's eyes flashed with light, and he glanced at the leaders without saying a word. The leaders saw it in their eyes and were shocked in their hearts, and it felt like a sharp sword cutting their hearts.
The effect of Liwei was achieved, Guo Ziyi smiled on his face, and said: "You can rest assured, as long as you obey the order and win the battle, you will have your own benefits." ”
"Huh!" The leaders only felt that these words made them more happy than Tianyin Xianle, and they all let out a hearty laugh.
They rushed to help in the war, and there was also a big purpose, which was to reap benefits.
If you slap a slap, you have to give a date, Guo Ziyi knows this well, and her words made the leaders both afraid and happy.
