On the surface, Nima Bazar's attitude towards Liu Bi is quite contemptuous, and the ridicule and humiliation have never stopped since he stepped on the Shu Road to the north, but in fact, Nima Bazar has never underestimated Liu Bi. Cooking

Although with the help of information asymmetry, Liu Bi made wrong judgments and betrayed Datang, but this does not mean that Liu Bi is a waste.

Speaking of Liu Bi, I have to mention a figure who is dominating in Jiannan, Wei Gao.

Wei Gao has been in charge of Jiannan for 21 years, and has won more than 10 battles against Tubo and Nanzhao, winning more and losing less, and it can be said that he has reversed the offensive and defensive situation between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty with his own strength.

In particular, the battle of Weizhou in the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan not only occupied a large area of land, annihilated hundreds of thousands of Tubo soldiers and horses, but also captured the recklessness of the Tubo Daxiang at that time, which became the biggest victory of the Tang Dynasty over Tubo in decades.

And Liu Bi is Wei Gao's cronies plus the general at hand, Liu Pi is not visionary, greedy, but his combat bravery, rich experience in battle formations, and experienced command in battle, in the Jiannan army is quite high.

Before Wei Gao's violent death, he had been the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu for more than ten years, and after Wei Gao's violent death, he killed his competitors with thunderous means, and quickly took over the entire Jiannan Dao.

In terms of performance on the battlefield alone, the title of an experienced Tang army veteran general is not watery, and under the same situation and the same strength, Nima Bazar believes that he is not Liu Pi's opponent. Cooking

Therefore, on the surface, Nima Bazar's ridicule and humiliation of Liu Bi never stopped, but it was just a further blow to Liu Bi's deep guilt and remorse for betraying Li Tang, making Liu Bi go further and further on this road of no return.

However, when it was normal to need reference opinions, Nima Bazar never despised any of Liu Pi's opinions, views or even proposals, and he was never ambiguous when it was time to delegate power.

For example, yesterday, after confirming that the judgment of the two was basically the same, Nima Bazar accepted Liu Bi's suggestion without hesitation, slowed down, and gave his elite half a day of rest.

For example, today, Nima Bazar did not hesitate to hand over the command of nearly 80,000 former troops of the anti-Tang coalition army, including the Tibetans, to Liu Bi, who had more battlefield experience and more effective battlefield command, and he willingly listened to Liu Bi's side.

"Five of the six thousand-man teams have been put in, and when the sixth team is also invested, it will be their death time!"

Nima Bazar agrees with Liu Bi's judgment, but Nima Bazar also knows that the real situation on the battlefield is not as easy as Liu Bi said.

With an absolute numerical advantage, the Tubo and Jiannan armies did have an absolute advantage on the field, but this advantage was limited to the scene. Cooking

Under the pressure of the Tubo and Jiannan armies, the battle formation of the infantry of the Yulin Army was indeed retreating, but it was only retreating, and there was still a big gap before it was defeated.

As a bystander, Nima Bazar observed the battlefield and understood why the battle could enter this state of anxiety.

On the surface, the attacking Tubo and Jiannan armies were at least three times as numerous as the first-line Yulin army, but it was the most elite forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty that stood in front of these Tubo and Jiannan armies.

As for the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, at the Dasanguan three days ago, every member of the anti-Tang coalition who participated in the battle had an unforgettable enough impression.

Although the soldiers at the forefront of their own side, whether they are from Jiannan, Tubo, or Nanzhao, they are all elite soldiers.

It's just that these guys in the anti-Tang coalition army, who are also elite against elite, still have a certain gap compared to his opponent Qi Yulin Army, which is close to the peak of the cold weapon era.

Of course, there is a more important reason for the anxiety of the battle, and that is physical strength. Cooking

In order to complete their own sneak attack strategy, the soldiers of the Tubo Army and the Jiannan Army, who were fighting on the front line, crossed the Jinniu Road and Chencang Road one after another, and in the continuous autumn rain, they had been trekking hard for a month in the winding Shu Road, whether it was a mental state or a physical state, they could not be compared with the Yulin Army who were waiting for work.

Of course, there is one more thing that Nima Bazar does not know

, that is, all the soldiers of the Yulin Army are in a state of close to bursting morale under the blessing of the Emperor Taishang.

Therefore, although the Tubo and Jiannan armies have an absolute advantage in numbers, from the beginning of the war to the present, the only 6,000 Yulin army foot soldiers have resisted the 20,000 Tubo and Jiannan elites for a whole hour.

While fighting to the death and not retreating, at the cost of losing more than 1,000 people, at least 5,000 people of Jiannan and Tubo troops were killed and wounded.

This amazing resilience and amazing combat effectiveness made Nima Bazar think of the forbidden army encountered in Dasanguan.

This is the case at Dasanguan, and now it is also true on the banks of the Weishui River, if every time Li Tang's army has such combat effectiveness......

Fortunately, Li Tang's army is only more than 100,000, and it is distributed in a vast area, and the Changying army led by Guo Rong, who is regarded as a thorn in his eye and a thorn in his flesh, is even more east of Taihang Mountain. Cooking

Briefly driving Guo Rong out of his mind, Nima Bazar looked at Liu Bi beside him.

At this moment, Liu Bi's brows furrowed slightly, and there was a complex expression on his face that was mixed with remorse, uneasiness, worry, and happiness.

Compared to Nima Bazar, who was a bystander, at this time, Liu Bi's eyes were fixed on the position in the center of the battlefield, if there was a regret medicine in the world, Liu Bi would like to take a stone first, and if possible, even if it was a meal.

To be honest, Liu Pi actually doesn't care too much about the size of the number of losses on the battlefield, the difference between three thousand and five thousand is really not big, after all, even if all the losses are counted, there are still close to eighty thousand in his hands, and his losses are rising.

On the contrary, with the number of the opponent's first 6,000 people, the loss of more than 1,000 people has been close to thirty percent, the problem is that the battle has been fought so far, under this intensity and casualties, the other party has no sign of retreat, which makes Liu Pi feel very uneasy.

Liu Bi is not Nima Bazaar, as a serious Tang general who has followed Wei Gao for decades, Liu Pi knows the true combat effectiveness of the Tang Army better than Nima Bazaar.

The newly formed forbidden army that Emperor Taishang spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources is well known, and he directly blew the combat effectiveness of this newly formed forbidden army into the sky. Cooking

It's just that in Liu Bi's eyes, the peak of this so-called combat effectiveness is just the former Shence Army, and he knows very well what kind of goods the Shence Army is, with good equipment, high salary, and strong combat effectiveness, but there is a limit to this strength.

Although the equipment and treatment of the Jiannan Army are not as good as the Shence Army, the Jiannan Army has been fighting with the Tubo people all the year round, and this bloody and actual combat is incomparable to the Shence Army stationed in Chang'an and Guanzhong, so the two sides are fighting half-catty and eight taels.

However, in fact, first the right guard of the forbidden army in Dasanguan, and then the forbidden army Yulin army on the bank of the Weishui River, the combat effectiveness of the newly formed forbidden army has far exceeded Liu Pi's prediction.

One-to-one, hard-hitting, the forbidden army in front of you can beat the Jiannan Army that you are proud of to!

If there is a chance, Liu Bi would like to fight back against the Tubo people around him, but he obviously has no chance in front of him.

Chengdu Mansion, Hanzhong Mansion, and Jiannan Road More than 100,000 people died under the butcher's knife, and the souls of countless Tang people in Jinniu Road and Chencang Road can be paved with Shu Road, and there are 6,000 forbidden troops who died in Dasanguan, not to mention the prince who died in Dasanguan......

Even if it is all betrayal, but there is no way out of any way out of betrayal to such an extent as oneself...... Cooking

Therefore, uneasiness to anxiety, regret to regret, doubt to doubt, admiration to admiration, now, or from the moment the Tubo people entered Chengdu Mansion, there is only one way left for him.

Fortunately, now the troops of Chang'an City are empty, the troops in Guanzhong are scattered, and on the battlefield in front of them, excluding the lost soldiers and horses, they still have more than 70,000 available soldiers, and they are the elite selected from the Jiannan, Tubo, and Nanzhao armies.

The battlefield is a place like this, where soldiers often come to block the water and cover the earth, and there are few new things, and what Nima Bazar can understand, Liu Pi can naturally understand it, and he can understand it better than Nima Bazaar.

The heavy infantry is in the front, the cavalry is in the rear, the echelon configuration, the use of heavy infantry to resist the battle line, wear down the opponent's morale and physical strength, and wait for the opponent's morale to be low or there is a problem in the rear

Outflanked on both flanks.

This is the regular tactic of the Tang Army, and it is not unusual at all.

With this conventional tactic, coupled with the trumpet-shaped terrain at the exit of Chencang Road, once the counterattack is successful, the anti-Tang coalition forces on their side will not even have a chance to escape, and they will definitely encounter an unimaginable rout.

The opponent's forbidden army can resist his attack, the first is that the opponent is elite, the second is that the opponent is closely coordinated, and the third is that the opponent is waiting for work. Cooking

He admitted that the other party was indeed outrageously strong, and he admitted that the other party's abacus was very loud, but he was not the fledgling kid next to him.

If you can't beat one to one, you can't beat it, he admits it, anyway, there are many others, if one wave doesn't work, there will be two waves, if two waves don't work, there will be three waves, and if three waves don't work, there will be four waves, Liu Bi doesn't believe that he can rely on the six thousand people to resist his 80,000 attacks.

So, under the continuous attrition, after the two sides engaged for an hour and two quarters of an hour, the situation that Liu Pi hoped for finally appeared.

Behind the battle formations of the two sides, Pei Zhiming's last mobile force, the sixth battalion-sized thousand-man team, was thrown into the meat grinder in the center of the battlefield.

And this also means that on the bright side, the last reserve in Pei Zhi's hands to maintain the front is gone, and if it continues to fight, the forbidden army will no longer have backup and supplementation.

In the previous battles, the reason why the Yulin Army was able to resist the repeated attacks of the elite soldiers of Jiannan and Tubo with a small number of people was that the thousand-man team in the rear of the battle line as a reserve joined in time to fill the gap caused by the lack of physical strength and troops, and at the same time, it could even launch a counter-charge for a short time.

And now, without backs and supplements, it means that they are in a matter of time before they are broken in the front. Cooking

The changes on the battlefield naturally could not escape the attention of Nima Bazar, who was quietly watching the battle beside Liu Pi, in Nima Bazaar's view, Liu Bi's goal had been achieved, and now it was time to invest follow-up troops to defeat the opponent's soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.

Immediately, Nima Bazar shifted his attention from the battlefield to Liu Pi again.

Sure enough, with the change of the battlefield situation, an order came out of Liu Pi's mouth, and with Liu Pi's order, the rear was composed of 20,000 Tubo soldiers and began to prepare for battle.

Looking at the soldiers of the Jiannan Army and the Tubo Army who were ready to go in front of and behind you, you confirmed your speculation.

However, waiting left and right, Nima Bazar found that although the 20,000 Tibetan elites were ready for battle, Liu Pi's order for a follow-up attack was not issued, but the previous soldiers and horses continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Tang army.

Although he was unexpected, he instinctively felt that Liu Bi had his own plans.

After all, just like himself, a rookie with not a lot of experience on the battlefield, can see the opportunity, and there is no reason why a veteran like Liu Bi can't judge it, but he doesn't understand, obviously the opportunity has arrived, and the preparation has been completed, but why did Liu Bi choose not to move at this time. Cooking

However, at this moment, it was obviously not the right time to ask, so Nima Bazar had to suppress his curiosity and quietly wait for the change of the battlefield.

Nima Bazar's judgment is good, but Liu Bi, who is more experienced and familiar with the tactics of the Tang Army, has a more comprehensive consideration, and Nima Bazar's correct inference has a premise, that is, the other party really has no backhand!

Zhang Quyi, Pei Zhi and Liu Pi have some understanding, Zhang Quyi can be mediocre, just a general, and his current status depends on loyalty, and Zhang Quyi is not enough.

But the kid named Pei Zhi is different, it is known as an existence whose future is no less than that of his great-ancestor Pei Xingjian.

And Pei Zhi's kid has been by Guo Rong's side for several years, Liu Bi doesn't believe that Pei Zhi will be so real to show everything about himself outside.

If Pei Zhi had a backhand, he would be fooled if he attacked in advance, giving Pei Zhi a chance to fight back, so he chose to wait, wait for Pei Zhi's front army to collapse naturally, and wait until Pei Zhi's back hand was exposed!

And at that time, it was his real killer move, 20,000 brave Tubo elites, and it was then that the dust fell

Decide. Cooking

Once things like strategy and tactics are broken, everything will become irreparable, even if Pei Zhi wants to adjust his tactics too late.

Adjusting tactics to transfer troops from the rear to support means that the forbidden army will lose the power to counterattack, and without the power to counterattack, it means that the opponent will be ground to death by the 80,000 army at hand like a frog boiled in warm water.

If you do not transfer troops from the rear to support, once the battle formation composed of heavy infantry in front collapses, the opponent will lose all its support, defeat, morale, and rout, and under the combined effect of defeat, morale, and rout, the counterattacking soldiers and horses will be overwhelmed in an instant, and they will die faster!

At this moment, Liu Bi was quietly waiting for Pei Zhi's follow-up, in fact, Pei Zhi did not live up to Liu Bi's expectations.

It's just that this card is something that Liu Pi would never have imagined anyway.

On the entire battlefield, it was not someone else who foresaw this card, but because of Pei Zhi's order, the Emperor Li Chan, who was stranded on the battlefield in the rear.

In fact, only a hundred days after the Emperor Taishang was stopped, more than a dozen fully loaded chariots rushed out of the rear camp. Cooking

Above the chariot battle were the two companies of cooks who belonged to the Yulin Army.

Looking at the car fighting speeding past him, Li Yu's face was full of endless smiles.
