Chapter 667 Iron Horse Glacier Comes to Dream
More than ten days later, Luo Zhaoyun arrived in Heyuan County and stationed outside the capital city to temporarily replenish the consumption. It took another two days to reach the border and confront the Tubo army.
Mai Jicai suffered losses and lost his troops, and went to the military camp to apologize.
Luo Zhaoyun said: "There is a huge gap between the enemy and us. It is not your fault for leading troops in this battle. You can persist until now and not allow the Tubo Party Xiang Army to enter the country smoothly. It is already good."
Mai Jicai heard the coach's comfort and was not held accountable, and he was full of gratitude.
"This time, you will be General Xue Wanren's deputy, and you will be the deputy general of Pioneer, bringing troops into the Pioneer Army. After integrating, you will continue to go to the front line to fight against the Tubo Army."
"I will receive the order." Mai Jicai clasped his fists and agreed respectfully.
"Let me talk about the situation where the Tubo army is currently setting up camps and divisions."
"Yes! More than 70% of the army and horses of the Tubo country were cavalry, plateau herders, and some infantry were all surrendered soldiers and slaves taken in Tubo Zanpu when he conquered other tribes. They all added up to about 50,000 or 60,000, which was equivalent to our army. They were mainly divided into three armies, 10,000 left army, 10,000 right army, and more than 30,000 middle army."
Luo Zhaoyun stared at the map and nodded slightly, "Let's do this, our cavalry is less than 30,000, and it's a bit of a loss to face the battle directly. I'll follow Tian Ji's horse racing and replace the order of battle. I won't be head-on with the opponent's central army for the time being, bluff, and temporarily confront him. Instead, concentrate superior forces and mobilize elite troops to destroy his right army first, attack the morale of the Tubo army, and cut off the wings, and then fight with the Tubo army."
Chu Suiliang, Xue Wanren, Mai Jicai and others, when they heard the commander's strategy, they felt that using troops was not based on common sense and had a lot of wisdom and were deeply impressed.
Xue Wanren said: "Please rest assured, Marshal, my vanguard army will definitely be able to defeat the enemy's right army."
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly and said, "I didn't send you there, your vanguard army still has a mission."
Xue Wanren asked in surprise: "If you don't send the vanguard army, who will be sent to operate?"
Luo Zhaoyun explained: "I will personally lead the troops to the army, and use the iron armored cavalry and horses to step on the battalion. Six thousand people are enough to sweep quickly. General Xue takes the vanguard army to withstand the Tubo left army and restrain their movements. Chu Suiliang and Yu Zhining, you two temporarily command the army and move slowly forward. Send one person to put on the white robe and white armor of our commander, get away with it, and make a decisive attitude to fight the Tubo army head-on, lure the Tubo army to repair it on the spot, be careless, and create opportunities for our army to attack."
Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others had long heard that the young marshal Luo Cheng led his troops like a god, singing triumphantly all the way, becoming the ever-winning general. They always felt incredible. They have been following them for two months and have experienced the young marshal's use of troops, like water and without any shape, good at using strange strategies, and the scheming of soldiers is fully interpreted.

Tubo camp.
Gar Dongzan assisted the commander in the commander's tent to review military supplies. This time, the commander was Bulaganzan, the younger brother of the Tubo king. Since most of the herdsmen on the Qinghai Plateau were illiterate and headed for war, various numerical records needed to be checked. In name, Braganzan was the commander, and the actual command was all on Gar Dongzan.
"According to the spies' return, the main force of the Sui army arrived, and the leader was Luo Cheng, the king of the northwest, divided into two armies, one as the vanguard, topped our left army, and the other as the central army, and rushed towards our army."
After hearing his words, Bulaganzan's eyes lit up and laughed: "Is it the Mao boy who is known as the young commander of the Sui Dynasty? He came just right. I will try the knife with him. As long as I kill him, the northwest of the Sui Dynasty will belong to our Tubo country."
Gar Dongzan's face was complicated. Looking at the brave and unscrupulous Prince of Tubo, he thought to himself that you don't know how to lead troops to fight. You have some reputation on the plateau with just your personal courage. However, fighting with the people of the Central Plains can not solve the problem by charging alone.
"The Grand Commander, be careful of the formation of the Sui army. When I sent troops to Yumen Pass with the Turkic Khan, I tried the changes and power of the formation of the Central Plains army. When I came back and studied it for several years, it was quite effective. I must charge without preparation. I have to repeatedly detour and drag down the formation of the Sui army. Our army is not far from victory."
Braganzan looked disdainful: "What formation is not a formation? I only believe in war horses. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed over, enough to sweep everything. Who can stop it? What's the use of those fancy formations? If I can't see its power with my own eyes, I definitely don't believe it."
Gar Dongzan looked at Ganzan and felt a little helpless. There were too many such reckless men on the grassland. In the final analysis, the culture was too shallow and the plateau did not promote culture and education. The language was often passed down by word of mouth, with very few words. There were too few people who could understand books, read, read, write articles, and know Dali. There was one, and there were all amazing figures on the plateau.
"In any case, we must strengthen our defense, let the soldiers fix it, sharpen their swords, feed their horses, and then wait for the charge. At that time, I will send General Sambuza to form an upside-down hanging formation, imitating the formation of the Han general Wei Qing, who was the Central Plains Han general, to deal with the Huns, and use cavalry to attack and defeat the opponent."
Braganzan nodded, and he couldn't always refute the words of the national teacher, because the young national teacher was deeply trusted by Zanpu and had the power to command combat. Before leaving, his brother Zanpu, the Tubo king Nangri Lunzan, warned him that when encountering combat problems, he must listen to the national teacher's plan.
Just as the Tubo army was in good time and was waiting for the arrival of the Sui army.
In the Tubo Youjun camp, a tent was like a flower bud blooming on the grassland, endlessly spreading and in pieces.
Because the Dangxiang people in Tibet are also nomadic peoples, they are even more backward than the Turks. The marching troops are like a tribe and camping more casually, not like regular troops, and are not as complicated as the Han army, which requires digging trenches, building wooden fences, building shaft gates, and archery towers.
As night fell, the iron armored cavalry, which had been glowing silver all over, appeared two miles away from the Tubo Right Army camp without knowing it.
The guard-off rangers outside were killed by the Sui army's special forces and did not pass the news back, making the camp completely unaware of the Sui army's approaching, as if they were blind.
Luo Zhaoyun was also wearing iron armor and a God of War mask. The only difference was that he was wearing a scarlet battle robe, which was the symbol of the head coach.
His eyes showed coldness and he stared at the Tubo camp. When he felt that the time was ripe, he shouted: "Attack!"
Rumble!
The iron cavalry suddenly launched a charge, and the ground suddenly vibrated. The fully armed iron-armed cavalry had only 6,000 people, but the danger was overwhelming, and it was rolling in.
When the Tubo soldiers in the camp were awakened from their dreams and were in a panic and put on their clothes and paid for their accounts, a rain of arrows flew down, causing the guards and soldiers to scatter. Then the torrent of golden swords, iron horses and steel came in.
Chapter completed!
