Chapter 19 The enemy is too cunning
"Dang Dang!" A golden ming sound seemed extremely harsh on the battlefield. As Shiliver set up a horse to leave the battlefield, the Turkic cavalry quickly left and retreated. While retreating, they sorted out and restored the formation. They retreated for only about one mile and then reorganized the cavalry formation, arranged it into a tight array, and slowly retreated.
Standing on the city wall, Lingzhou Chief Shi Yang was secretly shocked. These Turkic soldiers were so powerful. If the Turkic people started to attack Lingzhou in September, they would probably have been lost.
Although the Tang Dynasty did not lack war horses, the ratio between cavalry and infantry was quite different. Generally speaking, a Tang army could only organize one Yue cavalry regiment (both light cavalry), and ten Yue cavalry regiments were one army, and only ten Yue cavalry regiments had two thousand cavalry. An army was normally equipped with one quarter of the cavalry.
Even if your infantry wins every battle, but the enemy runs fast, you can't pursue the enemy; but if your infantry is defeated and the enemy follows behind and pursues the enemy, you only need to fight and you will be wiped out.
"wrong!"
Guo Zihe, who was bleeding, looked at the Turkic army that was gradually unable to see clearly: "It's very wrong!"
"Why is something wrong?" Yang Ze asked in confusion.
Guo Zihe said: "We only have one breath to hold on now, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that. Why did the Turks give up the fat meat that was on their mouths?"
"this……"
Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "Unless, our reinforcements have arrived!"
"It should be like this!" Guo Zihe smiled and said, "Looking forward to the stars, looking forward to the moon, and finally looking forward to reinforcements!"
A Lingzhou garrison soldier said: "General Manager, where are the reinforcements?"
"Reinforcements!"
At this moment, a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared as if they were magical. In fact, they did not appear suddenly, but when the Turks attacked Lingzhou City, they had already appeared. This unit was the pure cavalry unit organized by the right leader of the Yueqi Cavalry.
In fact, as early as the Turks were in full swing to attack Lingzhou City, Luo Shixin led the Yue cavalry to launch several harassments. Although it did not cause substantial damage to the Turks, it interrupted its support for the Lingzhou defenders. If it had not been for the early days that the three thousand cavalry were assigned to monitor Luo Shixin's troops and could not concentrate on attacking Lingzhou City, Lingzhou would have been unable to hold on.
Seeing all the Turks retreating, Luo Shixin then disguised himself as a cloak and restored the Tang army's armor. However, this made all the Lingzhou defenders look like they were ghosts.
However, seeing the Tang army appearing like a ghost, the Lingzhou defenders were stunned for a moment and found that all the war horses were sneezing and white smoke came out. It was obviously not ghosts, but living people.
One side is more than eight feet long and six feet wide, and the flag is more than eight feet wide. The Bo of Xiuwu County, General Zhongwu, and Right Guard leads.
One of the men under the banner was riding a tall horse. He held a dark iron spear that was as thick as a child's arm, and the gun's tip was more than one foot long, shining with cold light.
At this moment, more than a thousand cavalry outside the city shouted in unison: "General Zhongwu, the Right Guard of the East Palace, General Chen is here to help him by the order of the saint!"
The soldiers and civilians in Lingzhou who were originally trapped in Lingzhou City and were waiting for death with their eyes closed and were overjoyed when they heard this.
Guo Zihe said: "Open the city gate and welcome reinforcements into the city!"
Yang Ze said with a serious expression: "Mr. Guo, please be cautious!"
"No need to be cautious, the Turks don't have to work hard at all!" Guo Zihe also reported the news to Chen Ying while ordering the city gate to open.
In Bogulu City, sixty miles south of Lingzhou City, the Right Guard led the central army to the large tent. Chen Ying had just lie down and was about to rest. Although the Tang army's right Guard won quite easily, Chen Ying's heart was hanging. When Bogulu City settled down, Chen Ying felt extremely tired all over.
Just when Chen Ying's active brain had not stopped working and fell asleep, a sudden burst of horse hooves broke the silence. Chen Ying thought the Turks were about to capture the city, so he quickly stood up. Before Chen Ying put on his armor, he received news that Luo Shixin led the Vietnamese cavalry into Lingzhou City.
"The siege of Lingzhou will be resolved without fighting." After receiving this news, Chen Ying said excitedly: "I inform the entire army of this good news!"
Soon, cheers rang out in Bogulu City.
"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of victories!"
"The Tang Dynasty has thousands of victories!"
"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!"
"General Chen is mighty!"
...
The Right Guard, who had already lying down, all led the generals to get up one after another and came to congratulate Chen Ying. The first reaction of the Right Guard leading the generals was actually extremely surprised.
This battle was caused by too many accidental factors and would definitely not be replicated in the future. At the same time, the Right Guard was also a very young army. Although some generals had rich combat experience, the soldiers of the entire army were all newcomers on the battlefield.
The first battle was over, but the casualties paid were very small. Now the Right Guard has only 500 casualties, most of which are minor and serious injuries. The battle of death mainly occurred in the Vietnamese cavalry. In addition to the non-combat deaths, including civilians, there are only 300 people.
In any case, this was a brilliant victory. Especially when the Tang Dynasty was full of enemies, this battle was no less than that of Li Shimin's battle to defeat Xue Renguo. In fact, Li Shimin also had great luck in the battle of Xue Renguo, and Li Shimin did not engage in fierce battles. Everything was natural and the melons were ripe.
The morale of the Right Guard led the superiors and subordinates soared to the extreme. Such cold and harsh weather did not affect the high mood of the generals at all. Even if the Turks appeared in front of the Tang army again, the soldiers of the Tang army would draw their swords at each other without hesitation.
Gao Yunquan looked at Chen Ying with a sour feeling in his heart, and there was an indescribable smell. In fact, the task of rescuing Lingzhou this time was quite arduous, but Chen Ying had almost never fought any decent battles. The Turks probably still felt defeated and confused.
Not to mention Gao Yunquan, all the generals of the Right Guard were very jealous of Chen Ying's luck.
Although Chen Ying was lucky, it was just good. To say that Chen Ying did nothing, he would definitely be talking lies with his eyes open. Whether it was snow sledge, snow disguise, or snow traps, or horse pits in the snow, they were all epoch-making changes. If it weren't for Chen Ying, a butterfly in another world, he would probably have let the Tang Dynasty war god Li Jing come over to fight such a battle, it wouldn't have been so easy.
Chen Ying couldn't sleep anymore, so he drafted a memorial to report the victory overnight and sent it to Chang'an.
...
At the same time, Shilifershe, who arrived at Wild Boar Ridge, fell into deep thought. As Ye Hu, who had more than 30,000 troops, Shilifershe's strength was actually not the most powerful of the four major Ye Hu, and the strongest of the twelve troops. Especially the loss of Bogulu City caused Shili to lose more than 15,000 people, and the battle between Hongshan Fort and Lingzhou lost nearly 4,000 people. At this time, Shilifershe's troops were less than 10,000.
There were more than 10,000 remaining troops, and in fact there were quite a few women without combat effectiveness. The defeat in this battle was too bad, not only did Shi Liver's energy be severely damaged, but in fact, Shi Liver's position was already at the bottom among the four major leaves and twelve positions at this time.
Shiliver carefully recalled the situation of his fight with Chen Ying and finally came to a conclusion.
