Great Tang Broom Star - v2 Chapter 1144

  Chapter 1144 Dedication

  Lu Dong praised very early.

   “Don’t Prime Minister sleep a little longer?”

  The attendant persuaded him while helping him get up.

Lu Dongzan stroked his long, disheveled gray hair, “When you get old, you will feel that you will not have many days to go, and you will want to live longer when you are not many days to come, but God refuses to give you more longevity, so you can only get up earlier .Wake up an hour earlier every day, and you will live an extra hour every day. After years, you will live a lot of years.”

  The attendant is a nagging one, “My grandfather likes to get up early, sit in a daze first, then open the door, go out and stand in a daze, I don’t know why.”

  Lu Dongzan smiled, “Everything you see is the past, how can you not be in a daze?”

   Get up and wash up.

  Breakfast is very simple.

  After the meal, all the civil and military officials outside the account.

  Holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, Lu Dongzan calmly watched the curling water vapor on the water cup.

  He is so focused, as if there is the biggest secret in the world here.

   After a long time, he raised his eyes.

“nice weather.”

  …

  The army has gathered.

  Except for the troops staying in the camp, 250,000 troops assembled outside the camp.

  Lu Dongzan walked out of the tent.

   “Go and see the soldiers.”

   Boost morale before a big battle, Lu Dongzan is well versed in this.

  He rode his horse and was surrounded by the army.

  An army of 250,000 troops, how do you feel at first glance?

  It’s all people, and you can’t see the side.

  It seems that the whole world is full of people.

  The war horse neighed softly from time to time, and the soldiers looked up at the commander.

  The sky is still slightly dark.

  Lu Dongzan rode his horse to the front.

  His left hand holds the rein, and his right hand naturally hangs by his side.

   His eyes swept across the army.

   “Our life in the highlands seems to be good, but the mighty Tubo shouldn’t be trapped in the highlands, let alone not enterprising!”

  Lu Dongzan pointed to the east and said: “The powerful Tubo needs business, countless fields, and countless people, but Tubo doesn’t have it. Where did it come from?”

  The eyes of those soldiers were full of flames.

   “Grab it!”

  Lu Dongzan said something that countless people in China and abroad have done but refused to admit.

“Set off!”

  Lu Dongzan rode his horse and turned around.

“This world is a jungle.” He said faintly, “Here you must not be gentle, and here you must not shrink back. Once you shrink back, others will eat your flesh and blood. To escape such a fate, you must Stay strong, stay strong…”

“Set off!”

  The army is dispatched.

  Just moved a little, and Lu Dongzan felt the world tremble.

   “This is a powerful army that has never been seen before!”

  He was full of praise.

  The scouts set off.

   The ranger set off.

  Scouts will spy on the enemy’s movements, and rangers will cover the battlefield.

  The army marched slowly.

   “Find Jun Tang!”

  The scout came back with an arrow on his body, and proudly announced: “Prince, the Tang army is mobilized and they are slowly coming.”

“good.”

  Lu Dongzan nodded, this is the greatest compliment.

   “Prime Minister, Rangers encountered Turkic people.”

  Lu Dongzan smiled, “Just fight.”

   These are warm-ups.

   A ray of dawn appeared in the east.

  The old bird chirped and landed, looking for food on the ground, but was startled by the dense sound of horseshoes and flew away.

   A team of Tang Army rangers chased the Tubo rangers and fought.

  Tang Jun Rangers are Turkic, and they exploded.

   “Kill them all!”

   The Turks shouted wildly.

“look…”

  Under the morning light, there is a dark shadow in the distance.

   “Withdraw!”

  The two sides tacitly withdrew the scouts.

  The army is facing each other.

   “Duke, the enemy army has dispatched all of the 200,000-odd troops except the camp that stayed behind.”

  The scouts are back.

   Jia Pingan nodded.

  The sky is gradually brightening, and the army in the distance comes into view.

   Boundless!

  Li Hong was dumbfounded.

   This is a side he never set foot in.

  He found that he didn’t have any way to deal with it at the moment.

   That is to say, if he takes over the command of the army at this moment, this army will become a headless chicken.

  He thought of Yang Guang.

  The so-called Royal Conquest, does he really know how to fight?

   “Stop!”

   The two sides are separated by three miles.

   This is a dangerous distance.

  The cavalry attack is within seconds.

  50,000 Tang Army infantry are in the middle, supplemented by 10,000 Korean heavy infantry.

  Two miles away from the left side of the big formation are 10,000 cavalry from the Gongyue Department, and 10,000 Turkic cavalry are on the right.

  The remaining 30,000 miscellaneous troops are in the army, ready to attack at any time.

   This is Jia Pingan’s arrangement.

  Li Jingye said in a low voice: “I’m afraid the enemy’s camp is not easy to sneak attack.”

  Before departure, Jia Pingan ordered Pei Xingjian to lead a thousand cavalry to go around and attack the enemy camp.

   This action in the eyes of everyone is to disturb the enemy’s morale.

   Lu Dongzan might have thought of this trick a long time ago, right?

  Lu Dongzan’s stability has been demonstrated so vividly in the past few days that Jia Pingan couldn’t find a breakthrough.

  A big battle is like two chess players talking in hand. Although they are far apart, they are the ones who make every move.

  The Tubo army has completed its formation.

  Lu Dongzan glanced left and right, and the entire army stretched past without end in sight.

   Even the banner cannot be commanded, only the horn and the order.

  He looked across.

   “Prime Minister, Jia Ping’an used 50,000 government soldiers to stand in front, and another 10,000 heavily armored infantry don’t know where they came from…”

   “That’s a Goryeo pawn.”

   Lu Dongzan knew this.

  After the fall of Goryeo, most of the huge army was dismembered and dispersed throughout the Tang Dynasty, and the elite part was recruited to fight with the army.

“cheer up.”

  The Goryeo heavy infantry is second only to the Tang Dynasty infantry.

  The general was roaring, “Today is a good day to make meritorious deeds, stop the attack of the Tubo people, and we will clear our name!”

  The Koryo infantry suddenly agreed, and their heavy armor followed suit.

  The two sides gradually entered the state.

   “I have few soldiers.”

  Jia Pingan introduced the current situation to Li Hong, “This place is far away from Chang’an. It is impossible for us to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops. In the eyes of the Tubo people, they have the advantage at this moment.”

   It’s a state of mind.

  Li Hong said: “It seems that every time Datang wins more with less.”

   “Yes, we have few people, but we are all elite.”

   Jia Ping’an smiled and said, “The Tang man is the best soldier in the world.”

  Since the founding of the country, Datang has always been like this. Even if they suffer a blow in the middle, they can quickly learn the lesson and counterattack their opponents.

  Until the military system is destroyed.

  After switching to the recruitment system, the Tang army is still invincible, but the interior of this huge empire is in chaos.

   “It’s about to start.”

   Jia Ping’an stretched his neck.

  Li Hong asked: “Uncle, are you going to fight? A Niang said…”

  Before departure, Empress Wu warned Jia Pingan that he should not learn from before and lead the army into battle.

   “I just flex my neck.”

   Jia Pingan smiled.

   Opposite, the enemy moved.

  The sun in the sky jumped out of the horizon, and the Tubo army moved.

   “The Tang Army’s crossbow array is powerful, and we are not as good as it.” Lu Dongzan said: “But our warriors will bear the crossbow and make them pay the price.”

   “Strike!”

   “The prime minister has ordered, attack!”

   The pawns strike.

   Right behind Lu Dongzan, three thousand cavalrymen were standing there, surrounded by horses also in armor.

   Opposite, Jia Pingan said: “The real main force of Tubo is tens of thousands, more than 200,000 troops, most of them are followers.”

   This is similar to Datang.

   “The tens of thousands of people are the most well-equipped.”

  But at this moment, only thin armor rushed up.

  Li Hong said: “Aren’t the elites here?”

  Jia Pingan shook his head, “The Tubo people are poor, and the only way they can change their destiny is to serve in the army. Their large army does not bring much luggage, and they rely on looting.”

  Li Hong was stunned, “That is to say, if you don’t plunder, you will starve to death?”

“right.”

  The crossbowmen are getting ready.

  ”In wartime, the front team dies before the rear team joins, and the front team goes forward.”

  Li Hong couldn’t help shivering.

   “This kind of fierce military law…”

  The huge crossbow array is in place.

  Pull the bowstring, and then load the crossbow.

   Tilt the bow and point it forward…

  Because the crossbow array was too large, the generals used large flags to command.

  The ranging sergeant stared wide-eyed and kept counting.

   “One hundred and twenty steps…”

   “Fire the arrow!” The general shouted hoarsely.

  The banner moved forward suddenly.

   bang bang bang bang bang bang…

  Intensive scalp-numbing sounds came, and countless crossbow arrows were launched into the air.

  The huge black cloud frightened the soul, but the Tibetans were still running wildly without turning their eyes.

  They knew that they could escape the arrow attack only when they reached the distance of contact with Tang Jun, so everyone ran wildly.

  Puff puff puff puff…

  It was like rain hitting plantains, and pieces of Tubo people fell down with arrows.

   Blank pieces are particularly dazzling in the assault camp.

  Lu Dongzan said lightly: “It’s expected.”

  He can afford this casualty.

   “Shoot the arrow!”

  The second wave of crossbow arrows was launched into the air.

“Archer!”

  Archers line up behind the spearmen.

   “Shoot the arrow!”

  A wave of arrows flew past.

   “The enemy is attacking!”

  Ahead, Tang Jun generals were roaring.

  The commanding general of the Koryo heavy armored infantry is roaring.

   “Hold on!”

  Those hideous-faced Tubo infantry were rushing towards them.

  The two sides are getting closer.

  Li Hong stared at the front.

  Boom!

  A loud voice came.

  When Li Hong saw the spearmen in front of him, he immediately backed away.

   Their lances were so heavy with enemy soldiers that they had to be thrown away.

“retreat!”

  An attack by the Tubo people who were not afraid of death made the Tang soldiers change color.

   This is a scene that has never happened before.

  Their array was almost washed away in the first wave.

  The spears of the Tubo people were also desperately stabbing.

“kill!”

   Li Hong saw a Tang army sergeant being pierced by a spear, he opened his mouth, although he couldn’t hear it, but Li Hong felt that he should be howling.

  The sergeant rushed up and hugged the enemy tightly, and the two fell down together.

   Subsequent sergeant replacement.

  Like continuous assassination.

  The enemy’s first wave of impact slowed down.

   “Steady.”

  Jia Pingan has also been observing this scene.

  The first wave of impact is a battle of momentum. If one side retreats, this battle can almost be settled.

“That’s what the so-called preemptive talk is about. Look at Tubo’s move just now, it can be called fearless. If our army is timid and there is a gap, the morale of the Tubo people will be greatly boosted. The so-called ebb and flow, and then our army will fall into a bitter battle .”

  Li Hong nodded.

  He was speechless.

   “Shoot the arrow!”

  Crossbow arrows are constantly pouring in, but the scale is much smaller. Just after the first wave of impact arrived, half of the crossbowmen put down their crossbows, picked up their swords and guns and formed an array, ready to reinforce the front at any time.

   “The Tang army is very stable.” Lu Dongzan saw the situation on both sides, “Our army just flattened their formation on the right wing, but was quickly counterattacked back, Jia Ping’an…”

  The banner of the Chinese army is still stable.

  He knew that Jia Ping’an was under the banner.

   “This is a long battle, and whoever is tougher will win.”

  In front, groups of Tubo people rushed up bravely, and were immediately beheaded and assassinated. When they were all dead, before Tang Jun had time to take a breath, the second team came up again.

  —In every battle, the front team dies, and the rear team advances.

   This is the Tubo army.

  Whether they are facing Datang or the later Dashi, they will not be afraid at all.

  Lu Dongzan waited for a quarter of an hour.

   “Left Wing.”

  More than 10,000 people began to attack the left wing.

   “Fight.”

  Jia Ping’an’s order made the formation thinner.

   “He has to deal!”

  Lu Dongzan said firmly: “Go up the right wing again.”

  The right wing attacked, and Jia Ping’an dispatched troops to stop it.

   In the middle, the Korean heavy armored infantry entered.

   “Kill!”

  As soon as they fought against the Goryeo infantry, they paid a heavy price.

   Jia Ping’an didn’t even move his eyelids.

  A good **** group in this era will not be afraid of Qingqi.

  When the infantry encountered the Qingqi group in the wild, for example, when the Tang army conquered Liaodong, Goryeo assembled cavalry to attack the Tang army’s infantry defense line many times but failed. Instead, they were defeated by hundreds of Tang army cavalry.

  You want to say that infantry casualties will be huge, sorry, but the cost of training an infantry is much lower than the cost of training a cavalry. Who would trade infantry for cavalry?

  Jia Pingan has never been able to understand why the huge infantry group in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was completely defeated in the face of the Manchu Qingqi.

  The only explanation is that the army has no fighting spirit, and there will be no fighting spirit.

  The general wants to get rich and monopolize command power. Sergeants are treated like livestock… This kind of army will not be able to defeat the rogues in the future, let alone the Manchu cavalry.

   “The enemy’s left flank…”

  Someone is shouting.

  The enemy army on the opposite side of the right flank increased again.

   “I keep weakening the forces among him, so he can only follow.”

  Lu Dongzan was staring ahead.

   Jia Pingan said: “Tell Gao Kan that there are no reinforcements.”

  The order was transmitted to the right wing, Gao Kan nodded, “I know, tell Zhao Guogong, the old man is here, here!”

  Wang Fangyi served under his command, heard the words and said: “The enemy army is trying to keep mobilizing my frontal forces, waiting for an opportunity to attack.”

   Gao Kan praised: “The boy has vision.”

  Wang Fangyi: “…”

  He is not young anymore.

  But in Gao Kan’s eyes, he is just a fool.

   “The enemy army is coming up.”

  The right wing was violently attacked by the enemy, but the defense line was as solid as a mountain.

   “Gao Kan is getting old and getting stronger. I will give him the right wing.”

  Liu Renyuan on the left wing has a bad temper, and while commanding his subordinates to defend, he even prepared to fight back.

   “Don’t move!”

   This is an order from Jia Ping’an.

  The enemy forces on the left wing did not have enough impact. Jia Pingan didn’t think this was Lu Dongzan’s method.

   “Look, the left wing of Tang Jun really wants to move.”

  Lu Dongzan smiled and said: “The left and right wings mobilized the troops of the Tang army, and the left wing flew the Liu character flag. This is Liu Ren’s wish. This man has a hot temper, and I am showing weakness to the enemy. If he attacks, then the opportunity will come.”

  A cavalry is turning around on the flank.

  Once the left wing of the Tang army protrudes from the front line, they will attack the Tang army from the flank.

   This is the time to test the general’s patience.

  Liu Renyuan held back.

   Half an hour passed, and the left wing of the Tang army was as stable as Mount Tai, but it didn’t move.

   “If the enemy doesn’t move, I will move!”

  The cavalry was dispatched.

  Liu Renyuan scolded: “Sure enough, there is an ambush.”

   These thousands of riders came around from the side.

  He then scolded: “Pei Xingjian, you bastard, why didn’t the ranger find the enemy’s attack?”

  Somewhere, Pei Xingjian was cruising with his subordinates.

   On the left flank of the Tang army, more than a hundred cavalry fell intermittently on the grassland.

  A war horse snorted and walked to the corpse of a Tang Jun, lowered its head and touched him with its mouth.

   But the corpse just looked at it with dull eyes.

  The horse neighed and raised its head.

  Tears dripped down one by one.

  …

  The fighting situation became more and more fierce, and the Tibetans broke through the defense line of the Koryo infantry twice.

   “Duke, the Koreans can’t stand it anymore.”

   “That’s from Tang Dynasty!”

   Jia Pingan first corrected his statement, and then glanced ahead.

  The Tubo army was like peeling an onion, attacking layer by layer, constantly putting pressure on the Tang army.

   Whenever there is something wrong with the Tang army, the Tubo people will be mobilized in an instant.

   “Gunpowder.”

   Someone has a suggestion.

   “It’s still early.”

  Jia Pingan shook his head, “Order the Fifth Left Army to step forward for reinforcements.”

  The Left Five Army is composed of the original Khitan and Xi people.

   “I’m afraid our army won’t be able to stop it!”

  The lieutenant general of the Fifth Left Army was timid.

“killed!”

  Li Hong was shocked for a moment, but when he saw Jia Pingan, his expression was calm, as if he had just ordered to kill a dog.

  Is this the commander in chief?

  The head was immediately thrown in front of the left fifth army.

“The Duke has an order. They are all from the Tang Dynasty. There is a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in front of them. There is blood from the people of the Tang Dynasty. The blood you waited for can also flow, and all the blood flowed to the Duke. The Duke died in battle, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Just one sentence, Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!”

   This is the attitude towards the servant army, otherwise they will fish for fish.

  The left five armies went up, and the Goryeo infantry got a respite.

  Someone rode over to deliver an order, “The Duke of the State has an order, I will give you a quarter of an hour to repair, and you will be on standby immediately.”

  Korea general Gao Shengyuan nodded, “Please rest assured, Duke!”

   Definitely want it!

  Gao Shengyuan’s response made Jia Ping’an quite appreciative.

   “The right three armies record their merits!”

  The right three armies are the Goryeo infantry.

  The three armies on the right immediately cheered.

  Gao Shengyuan said: “Please tell the Duke that the three armies on the right are ready to attack at any time.”

   Morale is good.

  Jia Pingan said: “The competition in this kind of battle is about the structure. We must thank Li Weigong for this. It is he who gave the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty their own structure.”

  The structure is solid and tight, and it will not lose everything just because of a little collapse during combat.

   “Tang Jun is tenacious.”

   Even knowing that this might be the situation, Lu Dongzan still sighed.

   “Prime Minister, may something have moved over there?”

   Someone asked in a low voice.

  Lu Dongzan shook his head, “The Tang army is still stable, and it is too early to start at this moment. But we have to force it, and let the heavy cavalry attack… a thousand heavy cavalry.”

  It is very troublesome to equip the cavalry, and the armor needs a cart to transport it. It is too difficult to get here from Luoxi City.

  One thousand heavy cavalry, this is a tentative general attack.

   “Duke, the enemy’s heavy cavalry attack!”

  Li Hong saw the serious faces of the generals, so he looked carefully.

   Heavy riding is slow.

   They moved forward slowly.

   “This is to save horsepower and accelerate when approaching later.”

  Li Hong asked: “Then how to resist?”

   “Dedication!”

  …

Good night!
