Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 67

"The two battalions of Tianlei and Dihuo have set out from Dunhuang. They will attack Yiwu County tonight, and they will arrive at the base of the city at Mao. At that time, they will use fire and drums as a signal to intimidate the enemy defenders. I think General Chen Ping's strategy is certain. It worked."

In the brightly lit tent, Chang Sheng sat at the head, and the officers lined up on both sides. Gao Ziran and the two Qianniuwei were also in military uniform.

"In this battle, this general will lead 1000 troops from our Longevity Battalion to the only way the Tatars must pass to escape to the west, and intercept them. We must wipe out the enemy!"

The location, Zhang Baozang, was also determined after discussing with the staff. How to reach the designated location, how to ambush and set up traps and roadblocks have all been discussed and determined after repeated discussions.

After Changsheng finished speaking, he looked at Gao Ziran and said politely: "Master Gao, what do you want to give advice?"

"I have something unclear and I want to ask General Li for advice!" Sure enough, Gao Ziran did not disappoint Chang Sheng.

After listening to the entire battle plan, Mr. Gao raised his doubts. All the premise of this battle plan is based on the enemy abandoning the city and fleeing. Then the question arises:

What if the enemy chooses to stick to the city?Or what if the enemy does not escape according to the expected route?
Changsheng knew that he could not convince the other party by saying that he could predict the future, so he could only play a rogue and said: "Master Zhang, the final general thinks that fighting is the same as being an official. Between the commander-in-chief and the staff, the general is more experienced." ..."

Mr. Gao was taken aback for a moment, and smiled: "Okay, then I will follow General Li's arrangements."

"Since this is the case, the sword has no eyes, why not stay in the camp and wait for the good news?"

"This is impossible!" Mr. Gao flatly refused. With a resourceful coach like Changsheng around, most of them would attack with great confidence, so the probability of victory was very high.

Since it is a victory, there is nothing to be afraid of. Wouldn't it be a joke if you shrank in the big camp: "As the supervisor of the Longevity Army, of course I will live and die with the soldiers of the army."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Chang Sheng stopped persuading him: "Since that's the case, please trouble Mr. Gao to go with me, but there is one thing, once a fight arises, Mr. Gao must stand behind the official. If Mr. Gao makes a mistake, That official's crime is serious."

……

The Longevity Battalion set off at night, and more than 1000 people and [-] auxiliary soldiers arrived at the designated location an hour earlier than originally planned.

Once in place, Changsheng immediately sent out spies to start reconnaissance, the large army rested in place, and the auxiliary soldiers began to set up traps and roadblocks.

After that time, a scout came to report: "My lord, there is a fire signal in the direction of Yiwu. General Chen has captured Yiwu Fort. Everything is just as your lord expected. The Turkic Tartars have abandoned the city and fled!"

"Where did you escape, keep looking!" Chang Sheng ordered.

Not long after, when the sky was getting brighter, another scout came to report: "My lord, most of the Turks are coming towards our army along this road."

Changsheng's tense fist finally let go, and he let out a long breath and said, "Okay! Director Fang has done a great job this time!"

Fang Xuanling at the side was delighted when he heard her words, but he continued to say: "It's all what should be done in a lowly position, and you can't be praised by the lord."

The first step has been achieved, and now we are waiting for the Tartars to come.

Changsheng was also very satisfied with Zhang Baozang's choice of ambush location. On the left was a branch of the towering Kunlun Mountains, and on the right was dense low-shrub jungle.

No matter how powerful the Turkic horses are, they can't fly over these two.

A barrier of rocks and trees had been built directly opposite, and behind the barrier was a shallow ditch more than one meter wide.

If the Turkic Tartars want to charge the barrier, let them come, the ditch behind them will break their horseshoes.

The insane Zhang Baozang also had people dig deep and shallow pits, which were sprinkled with caltrops and nails, which undoubtedly made the enemy's charge more difficult.

If they want to stop and remove these fortifications, the cavalry and archers led by Qin Qiong will tell them to be human.

"This is the first time that our army's recruits have to fight alone. The right time, place and people are all in place. I can't think of a better start." Changshengxin said.

The last time the spies came to report: "My lord, the Turkic army is six miles away from our army and is about to arrive here, but their horse speed has begun to slow down, and it seems that their horsepower is not good enough."

"You were not found, were you?"

"My lord, don't worry, Mr. Fang has explained that concealment is the top priority."

"Very well, go down and rest."

She ordered: "Line up!"

"Everyone has it, line up—"

The Longevity Battalion soldiers who had been waiting for a long time got up from the ground and lined up.

"Start counting!"

"One"

"two"

"three"

"Four"

……

When the two sides finally met, the Turkic forward found that the opponent had only about 1000 Sui troops, and slowly began to move forward again.

Finally, it stopped at a place two arrows away from the Longevity Army.

"They won't wait for a long time. After all, they are the ones who are fleeing, and things will change after a long time. They will hurry up and escape before the big troops form a siege! And our army is at a disadvantage." Changsheng explained to Gao Ziran.

"Our army is at a disadvantage?" Gao Ziran turned pale with shock. Before he came, he heard that there were only a few hundred Tartars.

"That's right, the other party has 500 people, and the previous information seems to be wrong." Chang Sheng said perfunctorily.

Gao Ziran instantly became nervous: "Then we are not very dangerous? How about we withdraw..."

"How can a soldier run away?!"

Master Gao wanted to say more, the Turkic troops had already appeared in sight.

The Immortal Army set up a three-layer defense line of 300 people on the main road.

There are more than 200 archers standing on the left and right sides.It is guaranteed that the first wave of charge will receive intensive long-range firepower.

The two sides faced each other in silence, the only sound on the battlefield was the horse's white breath and snorting.

Gao Ziran felt that he would be out of breath if he didn't speak anymore, he pulled Chang Sheng and asked in a low voice, "General Li, why didn't they call here?"

"Both they and the horses need rest to replenish their strength."

But after a cup of tea, the enemy still didn't move at all, Gao Ziran asked again: "Are they going to rest like this forever?"

"Master Gao, we are not in a hurry, it is they who are in a hurry."

After a while, the Turks began to dismount, took off their shields from behind and raised them above their heads. They did not line up in any particular formation, and just moved forward in such a loose manner.

"Raise the bow!" Several officers of the archer brigade issued instructions with melodious shouts.

Chang Sheng waved his hand violently, and the guard behind him blew his whistle.

The officer of the bow team was ordered to shout: "Let go!"

The overwhelming salvo of bows and arrows didn't knock down as many people as the tone, but just slowed down the opponent's progress slightly.

"Raise the bow!"

"put!"

The Immortal Army was not in a hurry, and after shooting four times in such a leisurely manner, the opponent had already approached within 100 meters.

"Why are our bows and arrows shooting so slowly?" The curious baby Gao asked again.

Changsheng's attention was on the battlefield, she stared at the front, and explained without turning her head: "With the physical strength of our army officers and soldiers, a man who shoots at most twelve to thirteen arrows will lose strength. The Turkic people are very cunning. They want to consume a lot of physical strength of the archers at a long distance. Therefore, their advancing speed is not fast, and their speed will increase after reaching fifty steps, and our arrows must be left to deal with them at that time."

"Then there are only seven or eight arrows left..." Mr. Gao snapped his fingers and said, not to mention Mr. Gao's addition and subtraction within ten is still very fast.

"My lord's lesson." Changsheng didn't plan to deal with him any more, and he would ask him any questions after the battle, so he naturally knew everything.

The enemy suddenly sped up the rhythm at a distance of thirty steps, and Chang Sheng quickly waved his arms three times, and the whistle blew three times in a row.

"Even numbers shoot flat, odd numbers shoot upwards!" The officer of the bow team immediately ordered when he heard the whistle.

The archers were winding up quickly, half of them fired their bows too high into the air, and the other half lowered their bows slightly and shot downwards.

Everyone shot five arrows in quick succession. Although the Turks in the front row dodged back and forth with their shields up, some of them were still shot.

But the bow and arrow did not cause fatal injuries. After the wounded were helped down by the people behind, the large army continued to move forward steadily.

When the enemy finally approached the barrier, Changsheng knew that the pikeman was on the field, and she gave an order in the transition period, and the sentinel also issued a rhythmic whistle.

The officer of the bow team immediately ordered: "The archers retreat!"

After the archer released the last wave of arrows, he disappeared behind the phalanx formed by the pikemen without looking back.

The Immortal Army slowly tightened in the hasty command, becoming tight and thick.

The sound of the Turkic horn on the opposite side sounded, and the opponent quickly formed a battle formation.

After the battle formation was formed, the Turkic leader shouted, and the Turkic soldiers also shouted together, then raised their swords and shields, and slowly approached over the barrier.

When the two sides approached, the Turkic officers and soldiers suspected that their eyes were blurred. The Sui army on the opposite side was not equipped with swords and shields, but was holding a long spear? ! !
Without a sword and shield for close combat, once you fight close to hand, the distance advantage of the spear will be completely wiped out.The soldiers of the Sui army will have no ability to resist.

Is the commander of the Sui army an idiot?

"Turn halfway to the left..." The officers of the Longevity Battalion began to give instructions in the tone they heard when they were trained during the training. They had heard and issued this instruction almost a thousand times.

The Turkic soldiers rushing forward with roaring stared at the soldiers of the Longevity Battalion, and uttered harsh and horrifying cries to these indifferent faces, and they tried their best to hold the round shields in front of them.Then stare intently at the tip of the gun aimed at him!
The two sides are on the verge of firing, and they are ready to block and chop at any time.

"change!"

Following the officer's order, every soldier of the Longevity Battalion suddenly turned half their body, facing the enemy sideways.

"kill!"

More than 300 people shouted loudly, just like they did in training.

Everyone stabbed the spear in their hands with all their strength, hundreds of cold lights pierced like lightning, most of them pierced into the enemy's unguarded flanks, and some people were directly pierced into the ribs or even the neck...

Miserable cries began to waft across the land, after Qin Qiong's strict guidance.

The soldiers of the Longevity Battalion instinctively turned the barrel of their guns, and then pulled them out abruptly.

Countless bloody arrows flew out from the blood groove on the tip of the gun, and turned into a rain of blood in the air, scattering the young soldier's face.

But no one dared to reach out to wipe it. Just like in training, if the SLR has a small movement or sound, you will be greeted with a whip.

For a moment, as if nothing had happened just now, the murderers resumed their actions before the stabbing.

The intestines and internal organs of more than a hundred Turkic soldiers were smashed to pieces, and some necks were pierced.

Many people lost their lives the moment the gun head left the body.

The rest of the people also twitched helplessly on the ground, seeing that they couldn't live.

A few others twisted their bodies and kicked their legs weakly, unable to make a sound due to the pain.

The Immortal Army still looked forward motionlessly, waiting for the next order like a robot.

Gao Ziran and the other two Qianniuwei were just like the recruits when they first went to the battlefield. Their mouths had grown enough to fit an apple into their mouths.

In their eyes, this is not a battle but a massacre. There is no passionate confrontation, only slaughter like chickens and ducks, there is no sound of swords and swords, only the muffled groan of weapons piercing flesh.

Changsheng saw that although the Turkic people looked dumbfounded, they could still hold the shield tightly and leaned against one place, neither fleeing nor flinching.

Versailles said: "The Turkic people are fierce northern peoples, and such a fierce blow can't break their will."

The jaws of the three people next to them almost dropped to their feet when they heard this. Is this brave? They must have been frightened stupid by your soldiers.

After knowing the number of breaths, the Turkic people seemed to be relieved, and the horn sounded again.

But the soldiers seemed to be fixed by magic, and it took a long time to come back to their senses. They kept roaring and shouting with unknown meanings, re-invigorated themselves, re-established confidence, and then huddled together and moved forward carefully.

It was more of a caterpillar-like movement than a propulsion.

Seeing the power of the spear, the Turkic soldiers deliberately avoided the direction the spear was pointing at.

This resulted in fewer people on one side and a huddled crowd on the other.

"It's really strong, it's really strong!" Changsheng sighed, after such a blow, he still had the courage to try to counterattack and wanted to engage in close hand-to-hand combat.

But this is useless in front of the gun formation, the closer you are, the sooner you will die.
