Chapter 729: Encounter the Enemy Again
The sky is getting brighter.
A ray of morning glow fell through the two mountains and fell on the corpses all over the ground.
The stumps and broken flesh, the broken flags, and the faint wails of the dead constitute a painting of hell on earth.
Beside a bonfire, Luo Zhang was napping, treating the wounded all night, some couldn't bear it, a guard handed over a piece of roasted meat, and called softly: "General, eat some." ”
Luo Zhang opened his eyes, took the roasted meat and took a bite, and asked, "The troops haven't come back yet?" ”
"I sent someone to find it a long time ago, it should be fast, the brothers are chasing and killing crazy, the opportunity is rare, it is estimated that they all want to be annihilated, and it is inevitable that the pursuit will be fierce." The other party hurriedly said.
"Liu Yidao, I remember you said that you were a sheep killer? Your sword skills are very good, ancestor? Luo Zhang had nothing to do, he asked while eating, and he had the right to chat.
"The humble position was originally a homeless person, after being adopted by the master, he learned to slaughter sheep, and the master's knife technique, the Turks went south, killed our village, I joined the army in a rage, I didn't expect that the old horseman of the warrior Tong is not a thing, if it weren't for the king of Han, we would have to bear the charge of anti-thief, and later voted for the king of Han, with your general."
"It's also that you have real skills, otherwise General Ben wouldn't have chosen you to be the head of the guard regiment, work hard, and when you have experience, let you go to the front line to fight, maybe you can mix up with a big official, and you will be regarded as a glorious ancestor when you go back in the future." Luo Zhang said with a smile.
In the last reorganization of the troops, Qin Huaidao introduced the guard system of later generations, requiring the army commander to be assigned to the guard regiment, the division commander to be assigned to the guard battalion, and the regiment commander to be assigned to the guard team, responsible for the safety of the chief officer, enemy reconnaissance and other matters.
Liu Yidao relied on his exquisite knife technique, and only needed one knife against the enemy, and when he selected, he entered the eye of Luo Zhang's law.
"General, shall we fight the Turks?" Liu Yidao suddenly asked.
Luo Zhang smiled understandingly: "Fight, after fighting Tubo, I will fight the Turks, not far from Tubo to the Turks, by the way, want to take revenge?" Then learn your skills. ”
"I think, I am the only one of more than 100 people in the village, and this revenge must be avenged." Liu Yidao's eyes were red and full of anger under the reflection of the beating bonfire.
"Report!"
"General, the pursuing force is back."
As soon as the words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Luo Zhang scolded with a smile: "These bastards still know that they are back, let them find a place to camp on their own, rest, treat the wounded, and let the division commander come over after counting the results." ”
"Obey." The messenger hurried away.
After a while, Luo Zhang was full of food and drink, and saw five division commanders coming together, signaling everyone to sit together, and after some inquiry, he learned that more than 4,000 people were injured and more than 1,000 were killed in the first battle last night, but the 30,000 troops of Tubo were almost completely annihilated, only more than 2,000 people ran away, and countless were captured, which was a great victory.
After the report on the results, Luo Zhang advised: "After going back, rescue the wounded at all costs, cremate the deceased, find something to put it up, paste the description, keep it with its relics, and transport it back to his family in the future. ”
"Obey!" When everyone heard this arrangement, they were all moved, you must know that no one cares about life or death in other armies, even if it is good to be buried, it is basically a corpse thrown into the wilderness, no matter what it is, there are too many, and it can't be managed.
Luo Zhang continued to advise: "All troops must be meticulous in reporting battle losses and military merits, but mistakes and omissions, overreporting, and concealment are all fighting with their lives, if anyone dares to drink the blood of soldiers, don't blame General Ben for not being emotional, find it once, no matter how much the amount, kill immediately!" ”
Everyone felt Luo Zhang's killing intent and resoluteness, and they didn't dare to be careless, so they agreed one after another.
"The army will rest in place for a day, and tomorrow will be pulled, and the materials lost by the various armies will be replenished to everyone in a while, be careful and be vigilant, and there must be no mistakes." Luo Zhang said and waved his hand and left everyone playing.
……
Early the next morning, the army marched.
All the way south, perhaps because Tubo was scared, the road was very calm, a large number of scouts dispersed, but no trace of the enemy was detected, and Tubo seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Until three days later, the terrain in front of him became flat, the grass was still clinging, the low hills were undulating, coupled with the blue sky and white clouds, the breeze was gentle, as if coming to the grassland, Luo Zhang was alert, such a large-scale fertile soil must be inhabited, Tubo is a tribal system, and quickly ordered all departments to march carefully.
Not long after, scouts arrived on Pegasus.
"Report - General, a large number of Tibetan troops have been found twenty miles ahead, with more than 30,000 troops, and they are being assembled."
"How's the terrain?"
"Flat grass."
"Oh?"
Luo Zhang was surprised, Tubo is preparing to fight a field battle? It's only 30,000 people, who do you look down on?
The next moment, Luo Zhang shouted: "Order, the troops slow down, slowly advance, people dismount, eat some dry food while walking to recover their strength, and be ready to fight at any time." ”
"Obey."
The order was quickly transmitted, and the soldiers dismounted one after another, allowing the horses to recover some strength, and everyone took out the barbecue dried meat to satisfy their stomachs, while preparing their weapons and preparing for the big battle.
Scouts go back and forth like a meteor, and the enemy situation is constantly coming.
An hour later, the army came to an open grassland, a large army in front of it was waiting for a large area, the black pressure pressed a large area of the grassland, people shouted horses neighing, banners hunting, so lively.
Luo Zhang signaled the army to stop, and observed carefully, each phalanx was about 1,000 people, and the thirty phalanxes were exactly 30,000 people, forming a passage between the phalanxes, and the military formation was quite strict, not a rabble composed of ordinary herdsmen, it should be elite, half of the cavalry and half of the infantry, the infantry in front, the archers in the back, and the cavalry on both sides and in the rear, a very conventional formation.
At this time, a person came out of the Tubo Great Array and shouted something, as if he was shouting for the array.
Luo Zhang didn't pay attention to the other party, and observed the surrounding terrain, flat, vast, no danger to borrow, suitable for cavalry to rush and kill, wave fighting, but this method of warfare is not flattering, killing the enemy is a thousand self-loss and eight hundred, Luo Zhang does not like this kind of hard-hitting style, there is no technical content at all.
After a moment of silence, Luo Zhang called all the military divisions and regiment commanders over, pointed to the front and said, "Everyone, you know all about the wild wolves foraging, right?" Never fight head-on, die-hard, but surround in all directions, rush up to harass, create panic, pounce on it and bite it when you have the opportunity to run, if the enemy chases, more wolves rush up, eat the pursuing first, and then continue to harass, if you don't chase, then slowly bleed until the other party can't hold on and falls. ”
Everyone nodded, and Luo Zhang continued: "We are light cavalry, and the core of light cavalry is fast, erratic, and fighting together like a wolf pack, tearing, cutting, eating, and breaking the enemy!" ”
"In!" The prince of Khotan folded and hugged his fists.
"You have the deepest understanding of the use of light cavalry tactics, General Ben is optimistic about you, you will take the lead, release it to everyone to take a good look, how to fight General Ben, there is only one, you can't suffer, go prepare."
"Obey!" Zhega replied solemnly and hurriedly returned to the headquarters to arrange the attack.
Others looked into the distance and waited patiently.
A sense of murder pervaded.
