Chapter 1069. Confrontation in court
Even today, the Arabs defeated the Fujian expeditionary force, but in fact, it was just an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos of the Fujian army's water extraction, and in terms of overall strength, the expeditionary force was several times larger than the Arab tribal army of Bosmansu.
Under normal circumstances, the nomads are not the opponents of the agrarian dynasty, and after a successful blow, they will generally flee thousands of miles, waiting for an opportunity to act again, and after repelling the Bedouins, from Li Chou to the generals at all levels below, there is no report hoping to catch up and take revenge, and the news that Busman must not run away is really unexpected.
Twenty miles is no more, no less, if the cavalry chases fast, the time for a few pillars of incense will come, and for this action of Busmansu, dozens of generals in the expeditionary force really don't know if they are too confident in themselves, or if they are arrogant after winning the first battle and don't know what their surname is.
Among so many people, especially Li Chou's reaction was the greatest, it had already made him angry with such a heavy loss, but Busman was still provoking on the side, a feeling of being despised and ignored spontaneously, the cheeks of the handsome imperial relatives were distorted because of anger, and after less than a second, Li Chou roared out like an erupting volcano.
"Bu thief An dares to despise General Ben! Pass my generals, the cavalry mounted, the infantry put on armor, and the whole army was drawn out of camp, and the general was going to put the head of the beard on my table tonight! ”
Roaring, roaring, pulling out the horizontal knife and turning around, Li Chou was about to rush out, and the generals who were so panicked that they were close to Wang Lun, Zheng Tao and others, hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed his sleeve.
"Right General, be cautious!"
"Now our army is hungry and thirsty, lazy and tired, and demoralized, if we forcibly attack, maybe the gains outweigh the losses!"
But it is urgent to use military exploits to cover up the mistakes of the lost army and generals, where did Li Chou listen to these dissuasions, he slashed and pulled with a horizontal knife, and shouted angrily: "The prince of Hezhong County gave this general a sword, and if he dares to fear the enemy, he will be killed!"
A cloud of sword light flickered, and the dozen or so generals who were forced to come over to dissuade had to retreat with numb scalps, but in their hearts, they scolded Li Chou's ancestors for the eighteenth generation again, people are not machines after all, and now the army is thirsty and tired, not to mention, and has just experienced a defeat, this is the time when the army is not strong, and the troops are forcibly dispatched, and the eighth layer is another big defeat.
You Li Chou is also one of the two generals of the Duhu Mansion, for your own glory and wealth, drag everyone to death, something!
But just when many generals were at a loss, a cold mockery suddenly made the entire tent become deadly silent.
"Everyone has to drink water, everyone has to rest, General Right is cut down, I'm afraid I won't have a few left in the expeditionary force."
Holding his shoulders, Song Jing said arrogantly.
Can't believe that there are still people who provoke his authority, Li Chou stared at Song Jing's more than 100 catties of meat in disbelief and looked up and down, left and right, and then roared like thunder: "It's you again!" ”
"Is it really bad to be a general's sword? complained a lot, was angry with its commander, did not listen to constraints, and taught it to be difficult to control, saying that it was an army, committing the crime of beheading the people who came before, and dragging out this person who was afraid of war and shaking the heart of the army and beheaded! ”
The sword pointed at Song Jing, Li Chou shouted arrogantly, who knew that after a sentence was finished, the thirty or so low-level officers behind all blew up, not to mention that Song Jing's department was the most bitter and hard, and every time he found a water source and distributed it to his brother troops, just today Song Jing is out for everyone, he can't let him have anything to do, a large group of captains, captains are full of resentment and shouting.
"General right, what Song Sima said is the truth, why don't you be afraid of the war."
"That's it, our department hasn't closed its eyes for three consecutive days, and after another day of hard fighting, our department is unable to fight!"
"Before I came, the soldiers had already fallen out, and I couldn't suppress it, but I had to worry about the right general!"
"Our department is short of water, and the war horses are no longer able to gallop!"
Complaining, picking thorns and threatening, one by one, don't take the lieutenant as a ruffian, a group of junior officers are cheating, the angry Li Chou's face skyrocketed into an eggplant color, but he listened to his orders, and none of the soldiers carried it out, which made him lose face.
There's no way, who made Li Chou's personal soldiers scared of Song Jing?
And those senior generals, at this time, they were also angry and silent, and there was no one to help him defend and reprimand, these days Li Chou is not thin on Wang Lun's cavalry, in shock, Li Chou played against Wang Lun again, but unfortunately, this deputy general who has been following him is also turning one eye open and one eye and pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Fortunately, just when Li Chou felt that he couldn't come to the stage, Song Jing finally squeezed in front of the people to ask for some face, and made a gesture at Li Chou, whose face was green and white for a while.
"The last general has no words, and I hope that the right general will forgive me."
"However, the last general also said the truth, has the right general forgotten the scene of the whole army grabbing water on the sand dunes today, if he forcibly sends troops at this time, will there be no more army mutiny, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult for the right general to explain to the king of the river county! It is better to rest in this oasis for two days and give the army a chance to breathe. ”
was already isolated and helpless, thinking that the whole army was running forward frantically in the afternoon, and there was no such morbid atmosphere that didn't even pay attention to himself, Li Chou couldn't help but tremble with excitement, and finally calmed down.
"Besides!" As soon as the style of speech changed, Song Jing stroked the short beard that had finally grown out with a prescient appearance.
"Besides, the Bedouins will not retreat for a while."
"Since the Bedouins are not running now, they must have been carried away by the victory, then if our army does not move, the Bedouins will certainly not flee."
In the end, he bowed his hand earnestly, and Song Jing said sincerely: "General right, the time is not as good as the location, the location is not as good as the people, the famous generals of the ancients, driving the fish for the abyss, and not seeing the people who are against the trend, rather than leading the soldiers who are full of grievances and tired to fight, it is better to rest for two days, wait for the army to recuperate, and then go to war, please think twice!" ”
Even hard and soft, in fact, Li Chou had already been persuaded by Song Jing, and for the sake of face, he still pretended to think about it for a long time, and then hummed in embarrassment: "Let's just let your dog head be fostered on your shoulders for two more days, and the meeting will be dismissed!" ”
He waved his hand arrogantly, turned around and opened the curtain, and Li Chou walked out of the tent without looking back. After a few glances at each other, several guerrilla generals and senior generals at the level of ranger generals also dispersed one after another, and they couldn't help but sigh a few times when they left, as for the middle-level generals of Song Jing's level, they heroically surrounded Song Jing.
"Song Sima, enough gentlemen, I, Liu Boying, admire you!" The most respected old lieutenant Guanzhong and the big men all gave a thumbs up, and the other generals also praised Song Jing in a gossipy, but Song Jing shook his head in embarrassment.
"Everyone, let's go back quickly, it is estimated that it will not be long before General Right will raise troops again, and this suffering march is still long! Let's go back and prepare! ”
"What Song Sima said is very true, everyone is scattered." It was the old lieutenant who shouted again, and he bowed his hand to Song Jing again, and a group of middle-level officers also came out of the tent in groups of three or five, and after a while, they also walked away, and Song Jing was left in the huge tent of the Chinese army meeting.
Instead of walking, Song Jing walked heavily to the place where Li Chou was just sitting, unfolded the Arab map hanging behind him, and looked at the oasis water sources marked on it, Song Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to the sky.
It seems that the huge Nefde Desert above is fully exposed in front of Da Min, but these days, several times the oasis has turned into a desert, and Song Jing doesn't believe in this map very much.
Busman was not a fool, otherwise he would not have been able to defeat the other German generals and succeed the caliphate, how could such a man be guilty of arrogance and leave the army at a dangerous distance?
Unless, otherwise!
What exactly did Bussman have in mind? Looking at the map, Song Jing felt that he was one head and two big, and couldn't help but sigh, how good it would be if Yao Chong's little white face was there, his stomach was bad, where did he use it to meditate?
Staring at the parchment roll, Song Jing thought worriedly.
…………
Li Chou really did what he said, saying that he would rest for two days, and then he would rest for two days, and early in the morning of the third day, the 40,000 Yu Min expeditionary army was rolling in the dust and embarked on the journey.
It's really just like Song Jing said, for two days in a row, the Busman Beard Department also didn't move, just stayed twenty miles away from Damin and confronted Li Chou.
This time, in order to take revenge, Li Chou really took out almost all the skills he had learned over the years, and after leaving the camp, the Great Min Expeditionary Force set up a wonderful goose-shaped formation, with Turkic wings on both wings, nomadic cavalry like Alan were slightly back like swallow's wings, and the front army used Tianzhu light infantry to hide the heavy infantry of the Iron Army in the middle of the river.
The advantage of this formation, once engaged, the two wings can be quickly deployed on the left and right to outflank the enemy, while the Tianzhu light infantry of the front army, although not strong in combat, has good flexibility, and can make room for the Bedouin cavalry in the breakthrough while reducing losses, and at the same time, the Chinese army is like a hard shield, slapping down the Bedouin cavalry that has lost speed and flattening it.
Once the Bedouins retreated, the light infantry of the front army could again entangle them and create the conditions for the encirclement.
After resting for two days, the Fujian army did recover its vitality, and after marching for about half an hour, with the sun rising in the east, an iron line appeared on the horizon, and in the eyes of the Bedouins, whether the Indian soldiers of the front army or the nomadic cavalry on both wings, the round eyes were once again lit with a raging fire.
Looking at the Bedouin cavalry on the opposite side with a scattered formation on the slightly raised sand dunes, Li Chou, who felt that the victory was in hand, stopped the footsteps of the whole army, and sent a few officers to shout in Arabic to scold the formation, why did Fingerprint Busman betray Damin!
But before a few officers of the expeditionary force rode to the front of the Bedouin army, under the banner of the green star, moon and sun, the dark brown eyes of the Beusman beard actually waved his hand slowly, and immediately led the guards tribe to turn around and retreat, following the footsteps of the caliph, more than a dozen Bedouin tribes who were in a hurry also retreated one after another, and the Bedouins, who had been waiting for the Min army in the morning until now, did not even put an arrow and retreated.
After being stunned for a while, Li Chou, who was wearing a beast-headed silver helmet, scolded angrily with an ugly face.
"These rogues!"
