Chapter Eighty-Six: Non-Wuxia Amun
The Tang Dynasty led his own troops to continue to march to Guyuan, plus the newly collected nearly 5,000 troops, about 13,000 men and horses, and continued to march west.
When the Turkic minister Nulan Jinxia saw the Tang Dynasty so powerful, he was terrified in his heart, and he no longer dared to have the arrogance and pride he had when he first arrived in Chang'an.
Originally, the elite soldiers of the Turks, who had been at war with the countries of Tibet, Dashi, and Hui for a long time, were indeed extremely sharp. This is that even with the ability of the Tang Dynasty, he can only maintain a situation with the Turks in the position of the protector of the Anxi capital, and he has always been in an advantageous position when he is at war with the Tang Dynasty.
When Xue Rengui conquered the west, he was defeated at the hands of the Turkic and Great Food Alliance.
Xue Rengui's martial arts are famous all over the world, and he actually died in the Western Regions, which shows the power of these Turkic cavalry.
But after Nulan Jinxia saw the battle of the Tang Dynasty, a kind of fear also faintly swelled in his heart. He was in the Tang Dynasty army, and he knew that the Tang Dynasty led the accompanying army this time was only 8,000 people. And An Lushan's cavalry is very famous in all the battles in the north, and the Turks are all clear in their hearts.
But now the fact is that the Tang Dynasty defeated Hua Mingqing's tens of thousands of cavalry with a mere 8,000 troops, and even made half of them surrender. The strength of the battle has reached a terrifying and terrifying level. Among the powerful countries of the Western Regions, such as Dashi, Tibet, and Turks, it is quite terrifying to have a cavalry of 30,000 people. In later generations, Genghis Khan's cavalry, when he went west to conquer Ogedei, only had 200,000 cavalry, and they actually hit the Danube River in Hungary and enslaved countless Western countries. The strength of the cavalry can indeed be said to be invincible.
Compared to infantry, the advantage of cavalry is too great. This is also because although the Tang Dynasty now only has an army of four or five hundred thousand, it dares to be the emperor in Chang'an, and is not afraid of Li Heng and An Lushan, because his current cavalry has reached 40,000.
Of course, only the cavalry can really destroy the city and drive straight into the army.
Among the many advantages of cavalry, in fact, the most commendable is his amazing combat power.
Ordinary generals, such as Hua Mingqing, have three lieutenants by his side, who are responsible for shielding him from attacks from feather arrows from all directions. The general's body is wrapped in heavy armor, and the war horse also has armor, and the ordinary feather arrows can't be helpless at all.
In the fight of real swords and guns, generals are generally not afraid, after all, none of the characters who can be generals of an army are the role of three-legged cats. But what the general is most afraid of is cold arrows.
Once you are hit by a cold arrow, no matter how powerful you are, you will be powerless.
Of course, the general general, the left and right sides and the back are covered by lieutenant generals, and the probability of cold arrows is very low, so the most feared thing is that the enemy shoots the horse.
As soon as the horse is injured or killed, the general's combat power will be suddenly reduced by seventy, and if you fight on foot, even if your martial arts are high, you often only have the share of saving your life.
Of course, except for people like Hua Mingqing, Tang Dynasty and Li Bai, who dare to churn at will in the big war, they are skilled in both immediate and foot combat. Even if their horse is wounded or killed, they can immediately capture it.
In fact, when facing a general, you should shoot a horse first, this principle is extremely simple, but it may not be one out of 10,000 people who really does it. Because this is really a difficult thing, with the speed of the cavalry, many people have been picked to death or hacked to death by the general before they can react, where is the time to shoot arrows?
Moreover, the general's greatest focus is on the situation ahead, even if there is a cold arrow, it is extremely difficult to shoot. After all, there is only one shooter like Wolf Zhengxuan in the world.
Including the Tang Dynasty, it is clear that even with his current ability, he may still be slightly inferior to him in the competition of archery. There are some things, no matter how hard you work the day after tomorrow, archery is almost something that is born with Wolf Zhengxuan. Although the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty have reached the middle stage of the transformation realm, they have not yet reached the peak after all, and the use of strength has not yet reached the true will.
As the Tang Dynasty saw with his own eyes just now, when Rondo was fighting just now, the copper hammer was wielded, and the land within a radius was full of dead corpses except for the land, which was unstoppable.
Hua Mingqing is invincible, but after all, he is missing his legs, and he can't resist the impact of Rondo at all. This is the biggest reason for his defeat.
Originally, with 10,000 elite cavalry under his command, it was enough to fight with the Tang Dynasty. If he really succeeded in sniping, the Tang Dynasty was indeed in danger of being wiped out, but since the main general could not resist it, and was caught off guard by the Tang Dynasty, it naturally looked like a rout.
……
Three days later, at noon, Tang led his own soldiers to Guyuan.
As the generalissimo of the Turks, Hu Liesheng personally went out of the city to greet him.
In accordance with the meaning of the Roland clan, the Tang Dynasty stationed his own soldiers in Yulin Town, more than ten miles northwest of Guyuan, and led his three hundred guards to Guyuan.
At this moment, it was the middle of winter, but the Tang Dynasty scarf was single, and it seemed that the heat was unbearable, and the fan was constantly swinging, only to see the Turkic Prime Minister Nulan Jinxia shaking his head, I don't know what the intention of the Tang Dynasty's move was.
Li Bai's outfit was similar to that of the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty realized the extremely high realm of martial arts at this time, and the cultivation of the physical body has gradually reached the realm of true inner vision, which makes the secretion system such as the pores of the whole body in a higher realm, and the cold is unbearable in the general view, but he is completely inappropriate.
"Your Majesty has come from thousands of miles away, and this handsome man is very welcome!"
Xu Liesheng's face was full of joy, and he stretched out his hand, not at all, as if he had forgotten the scene of his defeat in the court a few years ago, and he couldn't see his dissatisfaction with the fact that he had an affair with the Roland Yan clan at all.
Tang Chao stretched out his hand, smiled slightly, and looked at Xu Liesheng: "Dashuai is brave and diligent, I haven't seen you for a few years, your martial arts are no longer Wuxia Ameng, admire, admire!" ”
After speaking, Tang Chao twitched lightly, got rid of Xu Liesheng's palm, and was secretly surprised in his heart: Why haven't you seen each other for a few years, how can this guy's martial arts be the same as before.
It turned out that when he was holding hands, Xu Liesheng was restrained by the Tang Dynasty and suffered a lot, and he also had a leg with the Yan family, not to mention losing face in front of his sweetheart, and was even more humiliated. Therefore, in the past few years, he has been diligent in practicing, worshipping several Han masters, and he is originally superhuman, so he actually gave him the courage to improve, and broke through to the early stage of the terrifying transformation realm in one fell swoop. The most humiliating thing for him was not that he was defeated by the Tang Dynasty at that time, but that when the Tang Dynasty was in charge of the Anxi Capital, he led his troops to be defeated by the Tang Dynasty in Jiuzhangyuan.
If it weren't for Roland's support behind his back, he would have been cut off his official position and returned to the countryside.
Finally, the Tang Dynasty came to Guyuan to meet the alliance again, and he finally had the opportunity to fight with the Tang Dynasty again, and this stretch of hand had actually been practiced thousands of times. Every time he shook hands with his self-proclaimed powerful generals, he would scream at them, and he had been waiting for this handshake for a long time.
So as soon as he touched the palm of the Tang Dynasty, he used all his strength.
He really wanted the famous emperor of the new Tang Dynasty to beg for mercy under his iron palm.
But a strange thing happened - no matter how much force he used, Tang Chao didn't react in the slightest, as if the palm of his hand was not his own.
But something even stranger was still to come, just as he was condensing all his strength in his hand and preparing to launch a thunderous blow, Tang Dynasty's hand swam like a fish, and it slid out of his palm so easily. It's like a shy woman shaking hands with a man, and it's very clever to get rid of the entanglement.
"Hehe, your martial arts are really powerful."
In this case, Xu Liesheng, as the host, naturally could not lose the demeanor of the host, and entangled again, politely, and welcomed the Tang Dynasty into the state guesthouse.
Sit down, serve tea, and greet each other.
"Your Majesty, your martial arts are indeed very skillful. But I have a wish, that is, to fight with you again, I don't know if you can accept it? Xu Liesheng quickly revealed his reckless nature.
When he spoke, his voice was a little loud. It is conceivable that in the past few years, he may have always regarded the Tang Dynasty as his imaginary enemy, otherwise, he would not have been so out of shape.
"Shuai, this is a private matter. Your Majesty came to my Turks this time to borrow troops, so why don't you put the matter before the private one, and then mention this matter after dealing with the big things? ”
Nulan Jinxia, as the prime minister, immediately saw that Xu Liesheng was carried away by hatred, and hurriedly came out to play a round.
Tang Chao smiled and waved his hand: "I understand the kindness of the minister." However, Xu Liesheng has this Yaxing, of course I will accompany him, first say it and then say it, sooner or later, it will be said, why don't you set a time? ”
Xu Liesheng was overjoyed: "Okay, Your Majesty is quick to talk." Why don't you just set it for three days? ”
"Good! Three days later, in the Marshal's Mansion, I'm going to disturb you for a banquet? ”
"Good. Three days later, in my mansion, I met with His Majesty. ”
Nulan Jinxia shook his head again and again, thinking in his heart, Xu Liesheng is brave and brave, but he is too anxious, no matter how he says, he can't lose the courtesy of a big country. But complaining is complaining, and I thought that the Empress Dowager Luo Lan's family would talk to the Tang Dynasty about borrowing troops in Wanmei Palace tomorrow. Three days later, the big thing should have been done long ago, and it will no longer be discouraged.
……
Seeing off Xu Liesheng and his entourage, Tang Chao and his entourage immediately stayed in the state guesthouse.
"Prime minister, in your opinion, how is this Xu Liesheng's martial arts?"
"Your Majesty. Forgive me for being ignorant, to be honest, this person's martial arts must have reached the realm of transformation, and it is obviously in the early stages, but, strangely, even I may not be able to defeat him. It's my instinct, and I don't know why? ”
"You're right. This person's talent is really outstanding, and in just a few years, his martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, if I hadn't seen it myself, I would have wondered if he was pretending. But don't worry, although his martial arts are extremely strong, I feel that there are quite a few loopholes in it, and I have my own way of dealing with it when the time comes. ”
