Chapter 5: A Dirty Belly
Mo knife, the heavy weapon of the Tang Dynasty. Long blades and short handles, standing taller than a man. It is made of stainless steel, the blade is several inches wide, the blade is thick, and the total weight is about forty or fifty catties.
Mo swordsman, the Tang Army infantry heavy arm. Choose a strong soldier to serve, wearing heavy armor, holding a sword in both hands, and using it to defeat the cavalry. When going out into battle, the formation is like a wall, and the unified command is given, and the enemy is either stabbed or slashed forward. The stabger, a knife through the body; The splitter, even the man and the horse to kill it.
It can be said that Mo Daoshou is the "nirvana" of the commander of the Tang Army.
However, the Mo Knife Warrior is also an extremely luxurious class. Whether it is the Mo knife or the heavy armor of the Mo knife hand, not only the consumables are quite large, but also the process is complicated, and it is not easy to build. In addition, the people who serve as Mo Daomen are all strong and strong people, and in order to ensure that they can maintain sufficient physical strength, food must also cost a lot.
The national strength of the Tang Dynasty at this time could not afford to raise too many Mo Dao hands. Moreover, although the Mo Knife Fighter is invincible when he goes out into battle, he is not an all-powerful cavalry killer. Because the Mo Dao Hand is slow to move with heavy loads, the timing of the battle must be grasped well. If it is not used properly, it will only increase the number of casualties.
Therefore, there are not many Mo swordsmen in the Tang Army. Wei Chigong went out to fight this time, and among the 10,000 people in the whole army, there were only 500 Mo swordsmen.
Wei Chigong deserved to be a good general who had been in battle for a long time, and when he saw that the Turkic cavalry was slowing down, he immediately and decisively dispatched the Modao team.
The sound of the neat iron armor colliding was like the cold light of the forest blade. As soon as Mo Daoshou appeared, the indomitable and murderous momentum gave Zhao Yunze a rather shocking feeling.
The Turkic cavalry panicked. As soon as Fu took over, under the fierce swing of Tang Junmo's swordsman, dozens of Turkic cavalry in the vanguard immediately splashed blood on the spot.
At this time, the momentum of the charge has been stagnant, once the cavalry loses the speed of the charge, it is not the opponent of the infantry in the first place, not to mention, the one who is engaged with the Turkic soldiers has been replaced by a Mo knife hand, which is a special weapon to restrain the cavalry.
The situation on the battlefield reversed, and the Turkic cavalry lost their command, and after resisting for a while, they turned their horses around and fled in a hurry.
Wei Chigong gave another order, and the cavalry on both flanks dispatched, wielding horizontal swords and holding horse lances to pursue and kill the Turkic cavalry.
"Hey, boy, you're the best in this battle." Wei Chigong said to Zhao Yunze with appreciation.
didn't hear Zhao Yunze's answer for a long time, Wei Chigong turned his head, but saw that Zhao Yunze was contemplative at this time.
"Zhao boy, what do you want?" Wei Chigong asked.
"I'm wondering what the purpose of these thousand Turkic cavalry is here."
Wei Chigong said: "Do you still need to think about it, Baolin, this stinky boy was discovered by the Turks, and this group of cavalry is here to probe our reality." ”
"But why did they attack us again?"
"This ...... The Turks are too arrogant. Although he replied like this, Wei Chigong also realized that something was wrong, and he frowned.
"Chief, there are more than a thousand Turks, right?" Zhao Yunze asked again.
Wei Chigong replied truthfully: "The Turks have entered the army of 200,000 this time, and the vanguard of 10,000 has surrounded Jingyang, and this thousand cavalry is thought to be in the vanguard army." ”
"Two hundred thousand? Jingyang? ”
As soon as he heard Wei Chigong's words, Zhao Yunze faintly felt as if he had grasped something, but after thinking about it carefully, he gained nothing. I had to continue my guess just now.
"Chief, the kid speculates in vain, how do I feel that these thousand cavalry seem to be not just here to find out the truth. If it's just to find out the truth and send a team of scouts, how can so many people come? ”
As soon as he heard Zhao Yunze's words, Wei Chi Baolin, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said: "Perhaps, they want to delay the advance of our army. ”
Zhao Yunze nodded and said, "I think so too." ”
At first, Zhao Yunze was just puzzled by the fact that the 1,000 cavalry took the initiative to attack the Tang army, but as soon as he heard Wei Chigong say that the Turkic soldiers were besieging Jingyang, he immediately thought of the words "encirclement and reinforcement". This was a tactic that was tried and tested repeatedly during the war years by the army in which he served in later generations.
But when I thought about it again, with only a thousand cavalry, they couldn't eat Captain Chi Gong's men and horses at all, so why didn't they go on a counterattack. The only answer was to slow down the advance of the Tang army.
Wei Chi Gong is also a general, as soon as he heard the words of Yu Chi Baolin and Zhao Yunze, he immediately shouted: "It's not good, the Turks have begun to attack Jingyang City!" ”
The truth was revealed in the analysis and speculation of the three people.
"Baolin, you kid immediately gathered the men and horses, mobilized all the pack horses, mules, and donkeys in the camp to transport supplies, and turned the infantry into cavalry, and brought as many as you could, and rushed to Jingyang as soon as possible to help the battle. Lao Tzu is going to be one step ahead! ”
Wei Chigong roared, waved his big hand, urged the horse to whip, and chased after his own cavalry and Turkic rout with his personal guards and rushed to Jingyang.
"The chief manager is ...... Will it work? Zhao Yunze became worried.
Just now, when the Tang cavalry was dispatched, Zhao Yunze roughly estimated the size of the Turkic cavalry he saw, and the Tang cavalry was more than 1,000 people. Wei Chi Gong led only fifty guards, and if he wanted to use more than 1,000 cavalry to fight against 10,000 Turks, the chances of winning were slim.
Yu Chi Baolin said: "Don't worry, my father is not a reckless person. Even if they can't break through the Turkic camp, it's still okay to slow down their siege. ”
Zhao Yunze nodded: The situation is reversed, and Wei Chigong's idea is similar to that of the 1,000 Turkic cavalry before.
"The Turks could never have imagined that the thousand cavalry they sent would be defeated so quickly. If the soldiers and horses in Jingyang City can see the opportunity to go out of the city to help the battle, under the attack of the two phases, maybe the father will be able to break the Turkic camp. ”
Yu Chi Baolin seems to be very optimistic about this operation.
"Then it depends on the luck of the Grand Administrator." Zhao Yunze said quietly.
"Let's take action too, rush over a moment earlier, and relieve the pressure on my father a moment earlier."
After Yu Chi Baolin finished speaking, he acted according to the order left by Wei Chi Gong.
All the cattle in the camp were mobilized. Seventy-seven-eighty-one pieced together, and another thousand "infantry cavalry" were made. Among them, all the five hundred Mo swordsmen were dispatched, and together with Yu Chi Baolin, they rushed to Jingyang as the second echelon.
The remaining 7,000 Tang troops also spread their legs and marched to Jingyang under the leadership of the captains of each team.
Zhao Yunze was left behind. Assist the army commander Shi with the auxiliary soldiers to clean up the battlefield and clean up the camp with the people.
couldn't participate in the big war, Zhao Yunze was very depressed about it. Looking at the back of the Tang army who left the camp, Zhao Yunze felt hatred in his heart. Baolin's kid actually put on an official posture with Lao Tzu, saying that I am a white Ding now, and I must carry out his orders.
"Zhao Zhuangshi, don't be careful, the young general has a good intention to leave you behind."
A voice sounded behind Zhao Yunze. When I looked back, I saw a man in civilian clothes standing behind him.
This person is about twenty-four or five years old, and he is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament.
"Dare to ask if the honorable driver is ......," Zhao Yunze asked the man.
"With the army commander Shi Yan Liben." The man returned the salute.
Yan Liben? The one who painted the "Emperors of the Past Dynasties" and the "Walking Diagram"?
"But that Lord Yan who is good at the Danqing technique?" Zhao Yunze asked.
Yan Liben bowed his head slightly, and said, "I didn't expect Zhao Zhuangshi to also know that Yan was famous. ”
Oh, sure enough, it's him, another celebrity. Hey, what are you doing in the barracks?
Thinking about it again, Yan Li was originally the prime minister during the Wu Zetian period. It seems that this man is not only artistic, but also political. If you want to come here, your ability to manage military affairs is definitely not weak. Zhao Yunze was immediately relieved.
"Lord Yan, I don't know what you mean by 'the young general is quite useful'?" Zhao Yunze asked.
Yan Liben smiled slightly and said, "It's just speculation below." The ability shown by Guan Zhao Zhuangshi lies in secretly launching from a long distance and directly taking the target. This art, if used to kill enemy generals with cold cold, can be a miracle effect. However, if it is used to fight against the army, it is really overkill. What's more, the two armies are fighting, and there are dangers, if Zhao Zhuangshi's life is trapped, the major general is afraid that the general will blame him! ”
Do I have such a baby? How I don't know myself.
After Yan Liben's enlightenment, Zhao Yunze was no longer concerned about the arrangements made by Yu Chi Baolin, and happily assisted Yan Liben to clean up the camp.
Cleaning up the battlefield, collecting the corpses of the war dead, and treating the wounded, Zhao Yunze can still intervene in these things, but when it comes to the matter of collecting the camp and pulling out the village, Zhao Yunze doesn't know anything, he only has to follow Yan Liben as an audience.
Seeing Yan Liben arrange various matters in an orderly manner, Zhao Yunze was greatly impressed in his heart. is worthy of being the prime minister in the future. Looking at the age of others, it is not much different from himself, how can he learn to go crazy with a group of boys after so many years; Look at people again, that ability to deal with all trivial affairs calmly without hurrying or being angry...... Alas, man is better than man!
"Zhao Zhuangshi, how should we get rid of these hundreds of big cars?" Yan Liben suddenly made a difficulty.
Yes? The prime minister also has something that can't be solved?
Looking at it again, all kinds of materials have been packed and loaded on the cart, ready to go. What about the carts? Damn, could it be that Yan Li wanted Lao Tzu to be a mule?
"This ...... Although there is a bit of brute force in the bottom, it can't pull this big car. ”
Yan Liben's face was black: "Zhao Zhuangshi, I didn't say to let you pull the car!" ”
Ah, not for me to be a mule. That's good!
It seems that the only way to do this is to let someone else be a mule.
"Hey, don't hang on, hurry up. Pull up the cart, let's have dinner in Jingyang City! Zhao Yunze shouted at the auxiliaries and people who were stunned at the cart.
There was no other way, so the cart finally slowly hit the road.
"Or Zhao Zhuangshi has a way!" Yan Liben sent it with a sycophant.
, when I can't see it, you just don't want to be this villain. Don't you see that those people are unhappy with Lao Tzu? Readers, sure enough, are all filthy.
"Zhao Zhuangshi, Yan Liben, who was weak in his lower body ...... "dirty" belly, spoke again.
"I won't carry you!" Zhao Yunze hurriedly spoke out to interrupt Yan Liben's words.
Yan Liben's face turned red and said, "What do you mean...... The donkey was cheeky below. ”
Well, there was a donkey left in the camp.
Hey, you're riding a donkey, what should I do?
What else can I do, let's start Route 11. Zhao Yunze glanced at Yan Liben with resentment, threw his backpack on his back, and strode forward.
He ...... Why don't you put that bag on top of the wagon, wouldn't it be easier? ”
Yan Liben's question was just a fleeting thought. In the sound of the little donkey's hooves, Yan Liben quickly surpassed Zhao Yunze, leaving only Zhao Yunze with a dashing back.
