Chapter 126
The sword box is filled with Hu Shuang's shadow, and the bow opens the Han moon wheel.
Luo Binwang's "Ode to the Past Ideas in the Past"
A big bow stained with blood was placed in front of Su Dawei.
There was a moment of silence in the account.
Su Dawei's eyes were focused on the divine bow, and he didn't say a word for a long time, as if it turned into a stone statue.
Generals at all levels are placed on both sides of the big tent.
In front of the table were two blood-stained generals of the Tang Dynasty.
The person holding the golden helmet is Pei Du.
The one who supported the ground with both hands, was Xue Dingshan, who was about to fall.
"Rengui..."
After a long time, Su Dawei finally spoke.
His voice was a little weak: "I have known him since Yonghui Nian, and it has been almost twenty years since..."
"Please a chief executive to avenge General Xue!"
Pei Du was in the Vung Tau.
Su Dawei's eyes turned to Xue Dingshan: "Did Rengui say anything in the end?"
"He said, let me return the divine bow to the chief executive."
Su Dawei was silent for a long time again.
In silence, there seemed to be a force accumulating in him.
It was a kind of sadness and anger that could not be said and described.
It was like a towering mountain above the nine heavens, with vast mists, and the huge wind roared and thunder blew.
Su Dawei's hand slowly stretched out and held the big bow on the table.
The blood on it covered the palm of your palm.
Something that had long been solidified seemed to be suddenly released.
He turned his head and looked at the Lord Bo beside him: "Luo Binwang, has our army's logistics and food kept up?"
"When I returned to the Grand Chief Executive, the Grand Chief Executives heard that the Grand Chief Executives came in person, and they automatically presented cattle, sheep and grass to temporarily relieve the urgent need for food shortage."
"How long can the army's rations last?"
"Half a month."
Su Dawei pondered for a moment and spoke again: "How long will it take to encounter a great cannibal military horse?"
This time it was Lu Zhaolin who spoke: "I will have half a day to go back to the chief executive."
After half a day, you will reach the brink of the power of the Dashi army.
By then, the fog on the battlefield will be opened.
The Great Food and the Tang Dynasty will discover each other.
The war is about to break out.
Su Dawei pondered and sent out a series of orders.
Lu Zhaolin and Luo Binwang did as they did.
The two of them, together with Wang Bo and Yang Jiong, were originally engaged in Shuzhong.
This time, Su Dawei's elite Tang army was all transferred from Shu, and the four of them were summoned into the army.
To serve as a staff member and the chief lieutenant.
There are so many things going on in the army. It is obvious that An Wensheng, Nan Jiulang, Yang Bo and others alone cannot cope with so many documents and information about exchanges.
For the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, this was also an opportunity for Su Dawei to give them a promotion.
When he came out of the camp, Wang Bo was deeply worried and looked back deeply, holding Su Dawei's handwriting in his hand. He was not in a hurry to hand over the order, but worried Zhongzhong said: "I don't know if the Chief Executive is affected by Xue Rengui's affairs."
Yang Jiong glanced at him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "No, you haven't seen any storm of the general? What's more, Ci doesn't take charge of the troops."
"That's because you don't know the chief executive."
Wang Bo recalled the incident in Chang'an in the past and shook his head and said, "The chief executive looked calm on the surface, but he valued brotherly feelings very much. Xue Li had been with him for twenty years. This brotherly friendship is just a fear of him..."
As he was talking, Luo Binwang lifted the curtain and shouted in a low voice: "The military situation is like fire. If you don't hurry up, what are you talking about here?"
"Oh, let's go now."
The two hurriedly took the warrant and ran to the military camps.
The army was spreading and out of the Tang army, there were tens of thousands of Hu servants.
How to fight, how to contact, how to dispatch resources, how to share information, and how to keep things consistent.
All are knowledge.
Among them, the delivery of warrants must be handled by the staff around the chief executive, that is, the dispatch and distribution of Wang Bo and others.
Luo Binwang sighed. He had been walking in the Western Regions and Shu for a long time, but the war had not begun, and he felt an unprecedented solemnity in his heart.
It seems that for the first time I feel that the future of the Tang army is uncertain.
This was a scene that had never happened in the decades of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Even when Tubo was in full force, he once annexed Tuyuhun and killed the Tang Dynasty princess and the Tuyuhun king.
The Tang Dynasty is still full of confidence.
Because at that time, the Tang Dynasty could easily draw more than 100,000 elite soldiers from Guanzhong.
But this time, the east side will suppress the rebellion.
On the west, there were both Turkic and Hu rebellions, as well as the cannibalism.
The Tang army broke through two consecutive battles here.
This may be the worst situation since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Luo."
Luo Binwang turned around in the voice and saw Lu Zhaolin holding several warrants signed by Su Dawei.
"See the neighbor, talk while walking."
Luo Binwang wanted to go to the logistics office to find Zhou Liang and do the final dispatch of the horses and chariots, and dare not neglect them.
"In your opinion, what is the result of the chief executive this time?"
"It's hard to say."
Luo Binwang pondered: "Just looking at the numbers on paper, the great cannibals are above us. If the chief executive has 50,000 soldiers in his hands this time, there is no need to worry about it, but..."
There are not even 50,000 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, even less than 10,000 people.
The remaining 70,000 people were all Hu servants.
Although the Hu people were afraid of the Tang Dynasty and Su Dawei.
But these people are fighting with the best of their own. Once the battle is unfavorable, they are afraid that they will collapse without fighting.
There is no enlightenment and courage to sacrifice like the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
How to fight this battle?
For a time, officials such as Luo Binwang and Lu Zhaolin who have been working in the border for many years have never thought of any sure way.
I can only pin my hopes on Su Dawei.
I hope he lives up to the reputation of a famous general.
It's really a surprise plan to defeat Dashi in one fell swoop.
Dongdongdongdongdong
The sun gradually tilts westward.
The atmosphere of the Tang army formation that spans dozens of miles has undergone subtle changes.
The Tubo rider who served as scouts of the Tang army and the naturalized Turkic cavalry of the Tang Dynasty have already returned, and the scouts' troops have already faced with the scouts who cannibalism.
The scouts from both sides were like flying bees, constantly colliding and apoptosis.
This is the prelude to the war coming to an end.
Even if the cannibals are slow, they should know that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty who saved the Anxi Protectorate had arrived.
Both sides are trying hard to capture each other's scouts alive to find useful information.
I believe that it won’t take long to get a clearer understanding of the forces, power structure and the main generals of the Tang Dynasty.
It all takes time.
It also takes time to hand over the main forces of the two armies.
It's different from what ordinary people imagine.
Neither the 80,000 Tang mixed army or the army formation that cannibalized people could move quickly.
Nearly 300,000 people gathered near Kucha City, covering more than a hundred miles.
It is like two ocean currents, gradually flowing and converging.
The big cannibal was dressed in white and black armor.
The elite Tang army was the thirteen-armored Tang Dynasty, golden-armored and blood-colored cloak.
The Tang army's tens of thousands of Hu servants, and the armor and banners were all kinds of colorful.
Compared with this, the composition of the Tang army is more complicated and the military formation is even more chaotic.
The scouts of both sides continued to hand over and collided.
The ranger light cavalry on both sides have already run out.
The light cavalry has the fastest speed, which can not only break through the enemy's military formations, spy on the enemy's situation, but also flexibly maneuver to protect the flanks of the main headquarters.
Surprisingly, whether it is the Tang army or the Dashi side, the light cavalry is the Turks.
He was originally a brother of the same clan, but now he became a great enemy of life and death.
Asunashun and Asunayan personally led the Turkic light cavalry and galloped towards the army that cannibalized.
From the direction of the great cannibal, he also rushed out of the wolf cavalry under Asuna Qudu and fought with him.
Both sides intertwined, and kept biting, sniping, spying, and capturing like evil dogs.
Countless situations continued to be passed back to the commanders of both sides as the scout and the forward light cavalry fought.
There is no chance of luck.
This is a real tough battle.
Both sides clearly understand in each other's eyes.
The open areas near Kucha City also eliminate any possibility of using terrain to play tricks.
Only a dignified army will fight to the death.
But head-on field battles.
With the military power of the Tang Dynasty, how can we shake the heavy military formation of the cannibals?
It is still unsolved at this time.
This huge question was heavy on the hearts of all the Tang army generals.
It even weighed on the hearts of the leaders of the Hu people's servants.
I was extremely nervous.
The only reliance is Su Dawei.
About his past achievements.
On the battlefield, Su Dawei never lost.
Woo woo woo woo ~
The dull horn sound.
The main forces of both sides gradually accelerated and advanced.
An eagle soars in the sky, looking down with its hawk's eyes.
On the vast oasis, rivers winding by.
A small yellow dot in the middle is Kucha City.
The big cannibal army in black and white colors is thick and dense, like a surging tide, constantly slapping against Kucha City.
More than that, it rushed to the east.
Like a dense colony of ants, boundless.
The Tang army in the east took the 7,000 Tang army in the middle as the core central army.
The left wing is the Tubo minion army.
The number of people is about 30,000.
It is composed of the Tubo Xiangxiong tribe, the Bailan tribe, the Lang Qiang tribe, the Ruoshui tribe, and other divisions.
They are all cavalrymen.
The armor and weapons on his body looked very complicated.
Compared with the Tang army, it is no different from the bandits.
After Tubo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, local tribes could no longer afford the same armor and weapons.
Institutionally, it has been divided from the unified Tubo Empire into countless small tribes.
On the right wing of the Tang army's central army, there were Tuyuhun people.
The number of people is 28,000.
Compared with the Tubo people, the Tuyuhun people seem to be much better.
At least the color of the war horse is relatively uniform.
Everyone's clothes are also coarse cloth for grassland herders.
The weapons in your hand are also scimitars that can mow grass or dog-legged swords.
Long whip, hammer, etc.
Moreover, Tuyuhun people are good at shooting, and everyone has a hunting bow on their backs.
Except for the Tuyuhun people.
There are still nearly 20,000 teams of Hu tribes from the Western Regions.
Become the rear army of the Tang army.
This Hu servant was composed of various tribes such as Uighurs, Tuqishi, Shatu, Tiel, and Turks.
The ingredients are becoming more complex.
Unification is led by Asunadaozhen.
The left-wing servants of the Tang army were under the command of Su Dawei.
On the right wing, Xue Ne, Su Yan, Gao Dahu, Zhou Liang and other generals were all in charge.
Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin were in Su Dawei's central army to help him control the Tang army.
Rumble Rumble
On the battlefield, a strong wind suddenly blew.
The wind was blowing like the Yumen Pass blew thousands of miles away.
With a sharp feeling.
The drums were heard everywhere.
The sound shakes the world.
The army of Dashi began to speed up.
The Tubo people and Turks who protected the left and right wings of the Dashi Army moved aside to both sides.
The main force of the cannibalism, the 120,000 army, divided into three parts: front, middle and back.
20,000 elite heavy armored cavalry of the front army.
That is, heavy cavalry.
Move forward.
Tens of thousands of war horses, the sound of hooves is like thunder.
Even the sound of war drums was overwhelmed.
The central army has 60,000 people, with the thickest formation.
The sixty thousand large-scale infantrymen are different from the Central Plains battle formation.
They were almost not wearing heavy armor, but were arrayed with light armor and large shields and spears.
Behind a team of light soldiers, there were also huge chariots, rumbled forward.
There are obviously devices like catapults above the chariot.
If it enters the range, it is afraid that a volley will cause heavy casualties and injuries to the Tang army.
Behind the chariot, there were various huge beasts, strange.
There are hellmastiffs, huge war elephants, rhinos, and many monsters that cannot be named.
The black fog rose up, and the roar shook the sky.
Various five-colored flags blowing in the wind.
Finally, there were 40,000 rear troops who could be the cannibalism.
Most of these are baggage.
Convoy.
There are also some women, Confucians and civilians who accompanied the army.
As a non-war force, he was left at the last side.
But if necessary, these people can be armed at any time.
Wow~
The Turkic horns were blowing.
This is the prelude to the offense.
Step by step
The fierce sound of horse hooves.
The Tang Dynasty began to make final preparations for the attack.
The 1,600 Turkic light cavalry led by two young Turkic generals, Ashinashun and Ashinayan, began to accelerate.
Before this, the knights had already put on their armor, checked their weapons, and filled them with arrows.
After the war, no one could stop the battle.
I don't know how long it will take to fight.
Maybe it will be a rapid collapse.
But it may be more of a difficult battle.
Take as much as you can.
After the arrow is shot, there will be no chance to replenish it.
After 1,600 light cavalry, Su Dawei's central army was also advancing rapidly.
From a high altitude, Tang Jun looked like a fist gradually stretching forward.
Thousands of Tang troops in the middle were spears and stabbed forward.
The army of cannibalism had almost the same tactics and did not send two wings forward.
Instead, the central army pressed forward.
The Tang Dynasty and the Dashi were like two clenched fists in front of Kucha City, which continued to accelerate.
It is about to collide together.
Kucha city.
Guo Kaifeng held the wall with his hands, and his face was solemn.
Influenced by the Tang army reinforcements, the cannibals' offensive against Kucha had stopped one hour ago.
This gives the shaky Kucha city a last breather.
The exhausted Tang army guarding the city was attracted by the scene before they could cheer and celebrate.
I forgot to breathe for a moment.
"General Guo...will we win?"
A Tang army was asking tremblingly at Guo Kaifeng.
Guo Tiefeng's lips trembled slightly, what did he want to say.
But when the words come to your mouth, you can't say them.
He had fought with the cannibal and knew what a terrible army it was.
They are like demons crawling out of hell.
On that day in Talas, more than 30,000 Tang army infantry led by Guo Tiefeng discovered the enemy situation and had already set up a formation.
You should know that the heavy armored infantry of the Tang Dynasty, and the extended spear, were once synonymous with invincible worlds.
However, under the impact of the heavy cavalry of the cannibals, the proud heavy armor was torn and smashed in an instant.
The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.
Guo Daifeng closed his eyes in pain.
"Protector!"
Suddenly, someone around him exclaimed.
Then there are the rituals that come one after another.
Guo Kaifeng opened his eyes and saw Pei Xingjian, the great gubernator of Anxi, walking up to the city with his personal guards.
Walk all the way to the battlement.
"Protector, although the Great Cannibal stops siege now, the Great Protector still has better command in the city. If there is a mistake..."
Pei Xingjian waved his hand to stop Guo Kaifeng's question.
He looked into the distance.
There was an unconcealed look of fatigue on Cangran's face.
"If the skin does not exist, where will the hair be attached? If Su Dawei cannot destroy the main force of Dashi in this battle, then Kucha City will be over."
Guo Waifeng and the surrounding Tang army were silent for it.
Kucha City is no better than the military town of the Tang Dynasty.
This is a small town.
It can only accommodate thousands of people.
It is a miracle that it can last until now and not fall.
It is entirely up to the Anxi Grand Protector Pei Xingjian.
With a breath in Tang Jun's heart, he felt a sense of not giving in.
If you saw the Tang army reinforcements with your own eyes, you would still be defeated by the cannibals under the leadership of Su Dawei.
The whole city of Kucha lost its energy.
Apart from the city being destroyed and people being killed, there is no second possibility.
call
The fierce northwest wind blows the military flag.
The broken large-scale guardian flag inserted on the top of the city was suddenly pulled straight, making a sound.
"Here you come!"
"It's about to start!"
Pei Xingjian opened his eyes and murmured: "This is the spirit of killing!"
"Major Protector... In your opinion, General Su, can you win?"
Guo Daifeng couldn't help but feel uneasy and asked Pei Xingjian.
Pei Xingjian was silent and did not answer. He stopped and asked him instead: "You have fought with the Great Cannibal and once said that the Great Cannibal's heavy armored horse is powerful."
"It's really amazing... the man and horse have armor, and its power is more than tens of millions of pounds."
Guo Daifeng's face turned pale, and he said with lingering fear: "Even if we Tang Zuo is in a heavy armor array, it will be difficult to stop their heavy armored cavalry from colliding. It is definitely beyond human ability..."
Pei Xingjian's face became more and more serious.
The heavy cavalry that cannibals had used the Turks before.
But then it gradually stopped doing it.
Why?
Because of the war horse.
The war horses in the Central Plains and even the horse breeds in the grassland are relatively short.
The characteristic is long endurance.
Therefore, it is not resistant to heavy weight.
If the people and horses are all armed and weigh too much, the speed of the cavalry's charge will inevitably be affected, which will limit the tactical performance.
So whether it is the Tang Dynasty or the Turks.
Later cavalry were mainly light cavalry and equipped cavalry.
The costumed cavalry of the Tang Dynasty and the Turks were mainly worn by people.
War horses only provide simple leather armor to protect the vital points.
And the great cannibals, whether they are humans or war horses, are all wearing iron armor.
The acceleration of weight, the strong impact force, and the fierce destructive force are unmatched in the world.
The big cannibal can use this heavy armor because the big cannibal horse...
It is the sweat-blooded BMW that Emperor Wu of Han sought in the past.
That is, the good horse of Dayuan.
The horse that is big-fooded, regardless of its body shape, strength, or explosive power, is far superior to the horse that is the Tang people.
That is why the heavy armored rider that carries people and horses.
At present, Guo Daifeng and Pei Xingjian cannot think of a good way to break this point.
According to what Pei Xingjian thought, the only way was to use the chariot formation as the city, and to line the war horses and the quarrels in front of the formation to resist the impact of the big and heavy armored cavalry.
But to do this, you must arrange it in advance, otherwise there will be no time left.
Now the Tang army and the cannibal are about to encounter each other. Looking at Su Dawei, the first thing they are lined up are some light cavalry.
There seems to be no intention of using the vehicle array.
Even Pei Xingjian can't guess Su Dawei's response methods now.
"If Ami can withstand the charge of the heavy cavalry of the great cannibal, there will be a possibility of winning this battle."
Pei Xingjian said in a calm voice: "If you can't resist..."
If it cannot be stopped, the formation will be directly destroyed by the big cannibal heavy armored cavalry.
By then, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and everything will not be improved.
There are tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people above and below the city.
The eyes and hearts of countless people were all raised high.
Rumble ~
Fierce horse hooves.
The dull sound of war drums and high horns were mixed together.
Earth-shaking.
It's getting closer, getting closer.
Asanyan, who was controlling the reins, felt sweat had already emerged from his palms.
He didn't understand the intention of the chief executive.
I don’t know why Su Dawei had to let the Turkic Light Cavalry take the lead in such an important battle.
From his perspective.
The whole world was like being overwhelmed by a cannibal war horse.
The boundless giant cannibal cavalry rushed to the scene.
People and horses were surrounded by hideous and terrifying iron armor.
It stirs up amazing smoke and dust.
It's like a devil coming out of hell.
Dong!
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!!
The sound of war drums came from Su Dawei's central army.
This is the order urging the Turkic light cavalry to attack.
Ashin Yan glanced at Ashin's direction from afar.
Both sides shouted in a tacit understanding: "Let's attack!"
Twenty thousand Turkic heavy armored cavalry.
Chapter completed!
