Chapter 172: The terrifying Great Yan, Li Jing and the others were terrified!
A total of more than 3,000 corpses, corpses and prisoners were left behind, and Wei Chi Jingde returned to the army safely.
"Pharmacist, I....I'm defeated!!"
Wei Chi Jingde came to plead guilty: "Da Yan, Da Yan has archers, and it is no worse than the Qinglong Battalion back then, our army can't break through!" ”
"This must have been taught to them by General White Tiger, damn it, damn it!"
Wei Chi Jingde was furious.
Li Jing and the others will be silent.
They are all famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, and most of them have won in the past, but this time Wei Chi Jingde retreated so embarrassed.
Instead of being ashamed, they feel happy.
Fortunately, Yu Chi Jingde did not go up and retreated in time, so that the losses could be reduced a lot.
"This great flame....it's terrifying!"
After a while, Li Jing spoke.
He is the commander of the First Army, and his words and deeds represent a lot of meaning, and saying this can be regarded as an admission of Da Yan's strong combat effectiveness.
It's the entire Datang that has gone and admitted it!
And among them.
Wei Chi Jingde was still immersed in his own chagrin.
"Damn! How can Da Yan have archers, how can there be? Where did they get the resources!."
His eyes were scarlet.
Anger!
Boundless fury!
He was so silent and sent away more than 3,000 of his own soldiers.
"Jingde, are you....okay?"
At this time, a voice sounded.
Wei Chi Jingde turned his head in a daze, and saw Li Jing, Chai Shao, Zhang Liang and others looking at him with great concern.
Wei Chi Jingde came back to his senses and laughed miserably for the rest of his life.
"Pharmacist, Chai Shao, you....I, I was defeated, I didn't achieve any results, not even a wave, so I sent away three thousand soldiers under me, I....I...."
Wei Chi Jingde seemed to have collapsed, and his voice was trembling: "I really don't know, I don't know what's going on, Da Yan....I, if I had withdrawn earlier, would it be a dead person, and there wouldn't be so many people?" I am bent on going my own way, I am bent on going my own way!! ”
"Pharmacist, everyone, I....I really don't want to, I didn't fight the power of Datang in this battle, and even lost so many soldiers for no reason, I....I didn't show the bravery of Datang in one go, I....I should die!"
Seeing this, Li Jing sighed again and again.
With one hand, he slapped heavily on Wei Chi Jingde's shoulder.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"We have seen all the process, it is an archer, you don't have matching horses and crossbows, even if the gods and Buddhas lead the troops, you have to die under the city of Puxian."
"I don't blame you, I really don't blame you, it's already a great honor for you to be alive."
Li Jing kept comforting.
Of course, he also knew that this battle was not Wei Chi Jingde's fault, but that the enemy was too strong!
Incomparably terrifying and powerful!!
No wonder there are so few defenders on the wall of Puxian County, even if they see the Tang soldiers approaching the city, they are not afraid at all.
They have a dependence in their hands, a great dependence.
"Do you want to....go all the way and directly attack this Pu County?"
At this time, Qin Qiong couldn't help but make a suggestion.
Li Jing was thinking, and Wei Chi Jingde spoke again.
"Pharmacist, survive....we can survive because of the mercy of the Great Yan Defenders."
"When they saw me retreating, they didn't chase me, obviously they could still pursue, and if they continued to pursue our army, there would be greater casualties, but they didn't."
"Is it that their generals don't know? Impossible, it is impossible for Da Yan to let an idiot be the general of the archers, they know everything, they just don't chase. ”
"Being treated so calmly by them, even letting go directly, so humiliating, I'd rather die on the battlefield!"
"With the size of the army under my rule, really, that archer can be said to be like a cat catching mice and playing rats against me, and our army has no ability to resist at all!"
"Actually, if the Great Yan Archers want to kill me, I....I can't even get close to the city wall!"
Wei Chi Jingde looked at Li Jing's eyes, his voice trembled, his memory was extremely deep, when the archers came out, how desperate he was in his heart.
And he still had luck in his heart, that archer was not as powerful as the Qinglong Battalion in his memory, but he was wrong, and his mistake was extremely outrageous!
That desperation, climbed straight to the top!
That kind of despair is throughout, from top to bottom, and there is no way to suppress it!
Li Jing was silent.
The same goes for Chai Shao, Qin Qiong and others.
They just stood here quietly, looking at Puxian from afar.
That county seat,
The Archers....Deterrence is too great.
It's like a high-tech weapon in the future, as long as you are stronger than the enemy country, then the enemy country will definitely not be able to sleep.
And this situation is the same in Datang now.
The Turkic cavalry could never catch up, so the border often could not sleep.
Right now
Da Yan has this archer, and they can't sleep!!
Assault?
But that archermen army is an army of thousands of people visible to the naked eye, once they attack and take the camp directly, what will they do?
If you don't send much, just like Wei Chi Jingde just now, what if you are infinitely kited?
And
Intelligence shows.
Although there are not many defenders stationed on the city wall of Puxian, they are really the trump card army that Dayan claims to the outside world, Wei Wushu.
Other than that
The scouts came to report that Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 white-robed troops were also not left behind, and all of them were rushing to Puxian.
Did you go to Puxian in the end? They don't know either.
Chen Qingzhi's use of soldiers is unpredictable, not much worse than Li Jing, and even Li Jing once thought that the reason why Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 white-robed troops were detected by scouts was deliberately exposed by Chen Qingzhi.
It's about getting the scout to come back and tell himself, and then become a deterrent to the dark side.
Let Li Jing use his soldiers, and he will never be able to let go of his hands and feet!
Li Jing is very capable and is known as the god of war, but he is mainly a surprisingly difficult person.
But now!
Dead target is here!
Pu County, the place to be captured!
Then all strategies revolve around Puxian!
In terms of siege, in addition to night attacks or natural disasters and floods, what tricks can be played?
The so-called surprise is completely abolished here.
Capture Pu County.
How to conquer?
What is the solution to this question?
Li Jing frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't find an effective way.
"What's going on?"
"Pharmacist, what's going on? Why did Jingde come back? ”
"Why did the spies come to report that the temptation was over? What's going on? Why so fast? ”
“…….”
At this time, Cheng Yanjin came over.
He was mainly responsible for leading troops out to defend against Chen Qingzhi's army that might appear.
Chen Qingzhi's participation in the war but he didn't know where, so Li Jing always divided 20,000 troops to defend against Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 white-robed army.
20,000 out of 50,000 could not move, just now the Chinese army was 20,000, and Wei Chi Jingde led 10,000 troops out to try, but he ran into a gray nose and returned with nothing and lost more than 3,000 corpses.
apparently
10,000 is not enough to attack this Pu County, and even 20,000 is enough.
Li Jing sighed when he thought of this.
It was this year's locust plague that greatly limited the Tang Dynasty, so that the army that was now urgently dispatched was only 50,000.
If it was last year, because the Turkic soldiers were in Weishui that year, they greatly developed their troops and deployment, so if it was last year, then there would be 150,000 troops in a hurry!
And if there is an army of 150,000, then his strategy can be applied freely!
Unfortunately....no!
The opportunity and timing that Dayan seized were too ingenious!
The clever controller behind it is like a master!
Shaking his head, Li Jing didn't think much about it anymore.
He looked at Cheng Yanjin, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were solemn: "Things have changed, Da Yan....It's not as simple as we think." ”
"I should have thought that if I could cultivate Chen Qingzhi's 7,000 white-robed army, and defeat my Tang Dynasty's first attack back then, then Yang Kuan, how could he be a general."
"I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it a long time ago...."
"The matter of Puxian County, it seems that we can't be impulsive now, let's check the casualties and review the situation just now, and then discuss it later."
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
He didn't dare to deduce.
According to the offensive rhythm of the Great Yan Archers just now, if you use the most commonly used crowd tactics in the Tang Dynasty siege to charge, how many people will have to die.
It is estimated that a group of people in front of it are constantly falling.
There may still be a battle to rush at them, but when they realize that they will never be able to catch up with that archer, what kind of collapse will it be?
How desperate is it that someone else can hit them, they can kill them, and yet they have a hard time touching each other?
No matter how strong the military spirit and faith are, there will be cracks!
So
You can't attack rashly, you have to be completely sure before you can attack, and then....one blow will win!
Then.
One order after another.
Summarize the casualties, summarize the morale of the army, and ask the psychological shadow of the charging soldiers....
Various commands.
Start in an orderly manner.
soon
A thing that needs to be noted is placed in front of Li Jing and others.
It was a suit of armor.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty joined the army as sons of good families, equivalent to the middle class of later generations.
Joining the army represents the opportunity to achieve military merits, just like when Xiang Yu was defeated, one of the captains grabbed Xiang Yu's thigh after killing himself, so he soared into the sky, created a family, and became today's Qinghe Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven wangs.
There are many living examples of how military exploits can really make a family prosperous.
Therefore, this kind of opportunity will not be available to people at the bottom, and they are all from good families.
These good families are also the elite of Datang.
Therefore.
Datang is also very serious about protecting them, and he picks the best ones for them.
That's why.
In history, the Tang Dynasty has repeatedly created the classic of winning more with less, and even 20,000 people chasing 100,000 people to fight, all relying on the advantage of weapons.
Like a man with a club, who goes to fight a man with empty hands, can he not hang him?
And now.
A set of battle armor silenced Li Jing, and also silenced Qin Qiongwei, Chi Jingde and others.
That suit of armor,
Pierced by a bow and arrow.
Warframes are expensive to build, and it can be said that it is difficult for ordinary bows and arrows to shoot through, but this set of armor is penetrated, directly from the front to the back.
Such a powerful lethality!
It also instantly made Li Jing and the others understand why the Great Yan Archers were able to create a grand feat of killing 3,000 people in such a short time.
It's their bowing skills, their horses are extremely fast, and even their bows and arrows are so terrifyingly sharp!
"This....this arrow...."
Qin Qiong dismantled the arrow and found that it couldn't be removed, so he didn't gasp until he took it out.
"This arrow! It is an arrow body made of silver! ”
"And the arrow, it's not an iron arrowhead, it's silver!!"
Qin Qiong was taken aback.
"What, Silver?"
"This....this Great Yan, how can it be so extravagant! Do they have too much money to run out? ”
"Damn! I heard that they had opened up a trade route with Silla, perhaps they sold the cement in the country to Silla and made money! ”
"There are already a lot of silver mines in Silla, and they are no worse than my Datang, they are really possible!"
“…….”
Cheng Biting Jin and others were shocked.
And Qin Qiong, weighing the weight at this moment, as Qin Qiong, who has been in the army for half his life, instantly knew that this arrow had to be at least six times heavier than an ordinary arrow!
"They, they're fighting with silver!"
"Real silver, we smelt and smelt this arrow, and it can really be used as silver!"
He became more and more incredulous.
As a general who has been in the army for many years, he knows too well the role of the bow and arrow.
It is basically a consumable item, and it is easy to consume, so most of them are made of wood, plus a little necessary iron arrowhead.
It's still a lot of work, and it requires a lot of technicians, labor and materials, and it costs a lot of money.
But even so, it is still a consumable product and can be produced on a large scale.
It's like the Three Kingdoms era,
The well-known Zhuge military advisor, borrowed arrows from grass boats, and borrowed 100,000 from Cao Cao in one night.
And that's just the number of ejaculations in one night!
If the battle situation is scorching, or even falling into a tough battle, the fight is consumption, then the consumption of bows and arrows can be said to be tens of thousands!
And now!
Great Yan....Great Yan actually threw an arrow with silver again!!
How terrifying!
Silver arrows are good because they have more penetration, but because they are silver, they can also be used by enemy captures.
But they're hard to use!
Because Wei Chi Jingde was defeated just now, most of the corpses were left there.
That will Qin Qiong and the others, watching the end of the battle, the Great Yan people cleaned up the battlefield in time, they didn't understand it very much, but now they can understand.
They're recycling silver arrows!
"It's so generous, with such armament, isn't my Datang's armor a joke?"
Li Jing gasped.
Secretly trembling in my heart.
Meantime.
I also feel more and more that my decision is correct, but fortunately I didn't attack just now!
Otherwise, the casualties will only be greater!
"My God, what kind of bull ghost and snake god is in power in Da Yan, and he dares to use silver arrows!"
"This silver arrow is expensive, but in front of it, our army's battle armor has also become a complete joke, in the past, it was difficult to reappear on Da Yan's body with less elite and more victories."
"Pharmacist, what else should I do? Still fighting? ”
“…….”
Also....hit?
It was proposed by Cheng Yanjin, who was full of war.
His fighting spirit is always high, whether it is the Turkic soldiers coming to Chang'an City, or the first attack on Dayan that year, or the current expedition against Dayan, etc.
The fighting spirit always does not retreat.
But now ....
Seeing this silver arrow, and then looking at those archers, as well as the powerful Wei Wushu, and the white-robed army who secretly disappeared.
I have to admit that he....is also afraid!
In this battle, Da Yan highlights the wealth and elite, too much!
