Chapter 1037 Shooting Sirius (fifteen)
Changsun Wuji also knew that this was not the fault of Mr. Zhang.
No doctor will run around with hundreds of kilograms of medicinal materials on his back, not to mention that many of the medicines Li Shimin drank were quite expensive, and he could not carry too much with him.
The elderly are extremely cautious when they can prepare so much, so they will not prepare if they change to other doctors.
These medicines are mainly used to treat internal injuries to warriors, but the value of the medicinal materials is not something that ordinary warriors can enjoy.
In other words, noble people who can use this medicine generally will not suffer such severe damage in front of the formation. People who are really injured are not qualified to use such good medicine.
Therefore, these medicinal materials are basically good, and it is normal not to use them easily.
No matter what aspect, Mr. Zhang is not wrong.
But if you don’t lose your temper with him, who can you lose your temper with?
Who should I ask for when I am so angry?
The Changsun family was also a martial artist, so of course Changsun Wuji knew that this road was not easy to walk.
Don’t look at the great and powerful Wu family, if you want to take this path, you must have the courage to bet on your life.
I don’t know how many people lost their lives before they became nobles.
It’s not that I don’t know the dangers here, but I just have no choice but to revive my family’s reputation, but I didn’t expect that this fate would really fall on me.
First, Erlang suffered internal injuries after being defeated in Xia County, and then now he is in a state of lack of medicine.
Originally, Erlang was practicing martial arts since he was a child. Although his skills were not very good, his health was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
With the same injury, others will have to lie for a month, and they will be able to live and live for seven or eight days after recuperation.
Zhang Weng is a famous national doctor, especially good at treating wounds by warriors.
Regardless of external and internal injuries, they are experts.
It is said that Li Shimin's injury should have been cured long ago, but now he is subject to medicine and cannot eat well. He can't even take decent supplements, so he is so late.
The soldiers outside didn't know the inside story, but they knew it very well.
It’s not that Hancheng’s guards were unable to transport grain successfully, but that Hancheng had no food to transport grain at all.
The food and grass that were transported in pieces were already collected by Hancheng and at all costs.
Now that Luo Ju is poor, if he continues to force him, the lord general in Hancheng can only follow the old story of the previous dynasty and send human jerky to the army.
Someone must be doing this! Although Changsun Wuji is not very skilled in military use, he is a top-notch expert in this area.
He didn't believe in any nonsense about Liu Wuzhou's chasing the poor food channels. Some people must have wanted Erlang to lose or even die, and deliberately stuck his neck on the food and grass, waiting to see Erlang's funnyness.
If we say that Changsun is not a soft persimmon, there are many children of aristocratic families in the army serving as military generals, and Li Shimin is even more of his majesty's flesh and blood. Who ordinary people dare to play such a trick?
If you don’t ask, it must be done by Dalang or his followers! Viajmon, one day I will insist on your head to see that day just by yourself?
Of course, Changsun Wuji would not admit defeat, but he had no hope in his heart.
The war has been like this until now, no matter how you look at it, it is a failure, and it is difficult to save manpower.
If you want to break the deadlock, you have to go out to fight in the field as soon as possible before you can consume all the food and grass.
As long as you break the military formation of Liu Wuzhou on the opposite side and take down Jiangzhou, the problem of lack of food can be solved, and other matters are not a big deal.
But the problem is that I can only think about this, but I can't do it at all.
Field war fronts must have enough capital, but how can they have this capital now?
Although the Xuan Armored Cavalry, the strongest corps in the empire, did not damage the vitality, the losses were minimal from the paper force alone.
But in fact, the biggest problem in the battle in Xia County was the Xuanjia Cavalry.
Due to the strict selection of Xuanjia Cavalry, the physical and combat skills of the soldiers are the first choice in the army. In addition, the Xu family's cavalry wall formation should be an invincible existence on the battlefield.
Judging from the performance at the beginning, it is indeed the case.
Whether it is Lu Chongmao or Huang Ziying, as long as he faces Xuanjia Cavalry, he will have no resistance at all.
Even at the beginning of the Xia County War, the Heng'an Armored Cavalry, which was once famous all over the world, still had no power to resist the Xuan Armored Cavalry.
But all this changed with the emergence of Xue Ju and his subordinates.
Although Changsun Wuji is not very skilled in martial arts, he is born in a general and always has a vision.
He knew very well that the defeat in Xia County was not a sneak attack or something unexpected. The fundamental reason was that he encountered a strong enough opponent and his own shortcomings.
Li Shimin did not master the key points of the cavalry wall formation.
Of course, this cannot be said to the outside world, but that's the case.
Although he is an excellent commander, he is good at regular tactics, including mastery of formations, and is also a regular cavalry formation control command.
As an uncommon formation, Li Shimin had never been exposed to or received systematic training before. In terms of command, like other military generals in the Tang Dynasty, it was completely a piece of blank paper.
Even though he and Xu Le have a close relationship, they watch Xu Le's training and conducting the battles in daily life, and learn how to command with Xu Le, which is much better than the others in the court, due to time, they have not been fully integrated.
As the same goes, the cavalry wall array is not so qualified that it is not a cavalry lined up in a row. When it comes to the battlefield, it needs to move, and it must make various changes.
Without these, the so-called wall array is simply a paper tiger that has no effect.
Li Shimin was able to move the military formation and defeat the enemy because he relied on this point to win several consecutive victories.
But the premise is that his opponent does not understand the wall formation and cannot pose enough threat to the Xuan Armor Knight. Just push it over according to the conventional playing style and like daily practice. In this way, you can win those battles and it is not difficult to win.
When you arrive at Xue Ju, the road will not be able to be completed.
Although Xue Ju's three thousand cavalry were few, they were elite and fierce. They were all big-faced heroes in the northwest. In terms of physical fitness and combat skills, they were only stronger than Xuanjia Cavalry.
Moreover, they obviously practiced for a long time and became more skillful in the wall formation and were more able to make changes to the battlefield.
Li Shimin had to have a body but not a spirit. When he met an opponent with both body and spirit, he would suffer innately.
Furthermore, the power of the wall formation depends very much on the impact of the soldiers in the front row.
This impact is based on organization, morale and the bravery of the generals.
Xu Le's Xuan Armored Cavalry can win every battle, which is inseparable from Xu Le's personal courage.
But the Xuan Armor Cavalry is missing such an arrow character.
The military generals left behind are naturally not incompetent, but they are still inferior to Xu Le and the elite soldiers he took away.
However, Xue Ju is a hero with the courage of ten thousand men. As one rises and the other falls, the two walls will naturally suffer a loss.
This is why Erlang was injured.
At that time, he wanted to inspire morale by personally attending the battle, so that the Xuanjia Cavalry could restore his fighting spirit, and to crush Xue Ju to death with the advantage of the number of people, but unexpectedly, things went against his wishes.
If it weren't for Yuchi Gong's black charcoal head who sacrificed his life to rescue him, Li Shimin would probably be dead now.
Looking at Yuchi Gong's back, Changsun sighed again.
This guy has a lot of problems, such as being lazy, not understanding the superiority and inferiority, loves drinking and borrowing money, and hits people with disagreement.
No matter how you look at it, they are all very veterans and they are not qualified to stand in front of Erlang.
But if Erlang hadn't accepted him, Tang Jun would probably not even be qualified to starve here.
The defeat in Xia County was Yuchi Gong who sacrificed his life to turn the tide. He was seriously injured and blocked Xue Ju, so that the three thousand cavalrymen could not fight a complete defeat.
Although the Tang army was defeated, it was not defeated. Finally, it maintained its establishment and retreated to Baibi.
It was also Yuchi Gong who was seriously injured and arranged defenses, and built the military camp to a solid wall, causing the Turkic cavalry that followed the pursuit to suffer a great loss, which allowed the decline to be slightly curbed.
If not, I am afraid that all of them have been driven into the Yellow River by the Turks to feed fish and shrimps.
But this is the ability of the black charcoal head. It is more than enough to defend the village, but it is far from enough to defeat the enemy.
He himself is not Xue Ju's opponent, nor can he command the Xuanjia Cavalry. Erlang is also injured and unable to command the battle. How should he break this game?
Moreover, since the Xuanjia Cavalry has never lost a battle since its birth, it still regards itself as invincible.
The defeat in Xia County has aroused the spirit of the entire army.
These days, the morale of Xuanjia Cavalry is the lowest. The soldiers didn't say it, but the blind man could see the dissatisfaction in his expression.
This is the most terrifying situation.
If the soldiers and generals are not satisfied with their leader, and the superiors and subordinates cannot work together, how can they win the battle?
Obviously, the Xuanjia Cavalry blamed Li Shimin for the defeat, believing that if he followed Le Langjun, he would never have been like this.
Not to mention whether they think so, but since they have this kind of mind, how should the generals and generals get along with each other?
Killing alone cannot solve this problem. Can you seal his mouth and his heart?
Xu Le! Only Xu Le! Changsun Wuji thought in his mind that only Xu Le came back at this moment could the morale of the army be revitalized and restored to his fighting spirit, and only he could defeat the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty and completely wipe out Liu Wuzhou's troops.
But where is he now?
When will it take to arrive in front of the army?
The victory or defeat of the Battle of Bobi is related to the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. Changsun believes that Li Yuan will never take this matter lightly.
Xu Le will definitely bring troops to support him, but because the news is cut off, he doesn't know when he will appear, and he doesn't know if he can get through that time.
The news is not clear and it also seriously affects morale.
Compared to having no hope, not knowing when hope will come, it is also a torture.
But now that we can’t even deliver food and grass, let alone news, who can Xu Le ask about his situation?
Li Shimin was already struggling to sit up at this time, and suddenly greeted Changsun Wuji, "Changsun, you and Jingde are here, I have something to say."
