Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 107 Red Mountain Fort

The hot spring pool is in the car tent led by the right guard.Chen Ying stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist, and slammed it heavily on the table. Liang Zan saw from the corner of his eye that Chen Ying's fist was slamming on the Bogulu City on the map.

"We can no longer nest in this hot spring pool, we must move and look for opportunities in the movement!"

Gao Yunquan stared blankly at Chen Ying. He never thought that Chen Ying would use his weak troops to attack an enemy that was more than six times stronger.

"The manager is wise!" Wei Wenzhong said: "Our Xun Er Mansion will attack first to let the Turkic wolf cubs know that Tang Dynasty is not a place where they can come or leave whenever they want!"

Chen Yingdao: "The general manager set the tone for the active attack. Everyone can express their opinions on how to fight and how to fight!"

"Let us fight the first battle with the Yue Cavalry!" Luo Shixin said loudly, "I have an idea, don't we still have a thousand down sleeping bags?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Luo Shixin said again: "Wouldn't you be frozen if you lay in a down sleeping bag for three hours?"

"Don't say three hours, four hours is fine!" Chen Ying said, "How do you want to fight?"

Luo Shixin took out his whip and pointed to the Bogulu City Road on the map: "The northeast of Bogulu City, about thirty or forty miles away from Lingzhou City, is called Hongshan Fort, which was the beacon tower of Lingzhou in the pre-Sui Dynasty. At present, it has been occupied by the Turks, and there are more than a hundred troops stationed here... I plan to..."

……

The northwest Cyprus wind is very bitter, even if the sky is clear and cloudless, the cold wind blows on the face like a knife, making people hurt.Wherever you look, there is a world of ice and snow everywhere, and people's eyes are extremely prone to snow blindness.

Although there is a way to create goggles for the entire army, Chen Ying has adopted a compromise method, covering his face with a thin silk like a cicada's wing, which will not affect his vision and can effectively prevent the cold.

There is a ditch in Lingzhou, named Bogulu Canal. This ditch was dug as early as Helian Bobo's time, and it irrigated thousands of fertile fields in Lingzhou.

But at this time, the Bogulu Canal was already frozen, and the snow was only slightly shallower than the official road.In the distant sky, a faint white line is slowly moving in the Boguluqu Canal.This white line is exactly the army led by Duan Zhigan, Deputy Lieutenant Duan Zhigan of Fu Xun's Erfu Guoyi.This force is composed of more than 1000 soldiers from the First Regiment of Xun Erfu, the Second Regiment of Xun Erfu and the First Regiment of Yi Erfu.

All the generals and scholars carried three days of dry food and a backpack, plus armor and weapons, and each person's load was more than 45 catties.Fighting in this era usually does not hide the color of one's armor and clothing, and one has to fly one's own flag. Many soldiers do not understand Chen Ying's way of concealing his whereabouts.

There are only more than a thousand down sleeping bags, and it is impossible to make one set for each person.In order to protect the soldiers from frostbite, Chen should distribute two pieces of white sheepskin to each of them. Although the warmth of the sheepskin is not as good as that of down, it is the only way for now.

In this battle, the purpose of this battle is to annihilate the sentry cavalry of the Turks, occupy the beacon tower of Hongshan Fort, and use the beacon to convey the news that the reinforcements have arrived to Lingzhou City, so as to strengthen the confidence of the defenders.Duan Zhigan's division was divided into three marching ranks, the people behind followed the footprints of the front, and finally those in the rear took white mops to fill up the footprints with snow.

Along the way, Duan Zhigan's team had suffered enough, but in their ants-like crawling team, they were as imposing as a rainbow.

Suddenly, the snow particles on the ground jumped up, and without even looking back, they knew that a large group of cavalry should be running.

Duan Zhigan waved his hands urgently, and the whole army stopped advancing vigilantly, leaned over the snow, and covered their tracks with snow.The white cloak was not much different from the snow environment, and with the camouflaged snow, the Turkic cavalry who were dozens of steps away did not notice the soldiers of the Tang Army in the ditch.

Not long after, about a hundred Turkic sentry cavalry passed far away, until the sound of horseshoes could no longer be heard.Only then did Duan Zhigan wave his hand to signal to move on.

The one-night and one-day march also allowed Duan Zhigan to understand the movement rules of the Turkic sentry cavalry.The Turkic sentry patrols every half an hour or so during the day, once every hour in the first half of the night, and no patrols in the second half of the night.

The Red Mountain Fort has finally arrived, and the location of the Red Mountain Fort is also excellent.The Red Mountain behind one side, the so-called Red Mountain, is actually a treasure mountain. It originally stored a large amount of coal. Later, due to the weather, the coal spontaneously ignited and formed bricks and stones full of red glaze.

Although the Red Mountain is not high, it is one of the few hills in the Lingwu Plain.It is one of the indispensable passes in the era of beacon biography.

Duan Shi said: "Hurry up and eat dry food and rest!"

In order to ensure that the soldiers could consume enough calories, Chen Ying changed the dry marching rations of this era.Of course, this is not a high-tech invention. It is to fry soybeans in a pot and grind them into soybean powder.Add a small amount of salt and jerky, mix with a small amount of water when eating, knead into a ball and eat directly.You can also add a lot of water to make a paste.

Although the appearance is not good and the taste is very ordinary, it is the simplest military dry food.

Duan Shigan grabbed a handful of snow and took a bite of bean noodles.At this moment, the originally silent snow surface jumped again.Duan Zhigan commanded the troops to hide their whereabouts.

He himself got up to observe, and a black line appeared at the end of his gaze.Slowly getting closer and closer, you can finally see clearly that this team of cavalry is wearing eye-catching armor of the Tang Army. Panting heavily, the cavalry soldiers on horseback felt like they were in a sauna, with curls of hot air rising above their heads.

"Thieves and mothers, they will only bully the few who are bullied by others!"

Duan Zhigan was very upset. Relying on the large number of people, the Turks actually dispatched nearly [-] cavalry to chase the Tang army ahead.

However, the horses could not run in the snow, and the distance between the two cavalry did not close.

At this time, Luo Shixin, who was the leader, suddenly showed a strange smile on his face, and he tightened the reins.The front hooves of the war horse flew into the air, neighing for a while.The other cavalrymen of the Tang army also followed Luo Shixin's example and stopped at the same time.

"Up the crossbow!"

With a creaking sound, seven or eight hundred cavalrymen set up their crossbows at the same time and pointed the crossbows at the Turkic cavalry.After the Turkic cavalry came into range, a shower of arrows shot away.

The cavalry pursued by the Turks fell on the snow one by one like dumplings.

"Despicable and shameless!" Bu Lugen almost wanted to bite his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.Some Turkic cavalrymen took up their bows and arrows to fight back undeadly, but it was a pity that those arrows fell on the snow before they flew into the Tang army's formation.

The range of the Tang army's standard crossbow is farther than that of the Turkic cavalry, and the most conceivable thing is that these Tang cavalry have the upper hand, unless they advance fifty steps forward, it is possible to shoot the Tang cavalry.

After Luo Shixin hit, he was not even interested in observing the results of the battle, so he turned his horse and continued to move forward!
Bulugen yelled in anger and beat his horse forward desperately.

"Bite them and ask Ye Hu for help!" Bu Lugen roared, "No matter what, we can't let them escape today!"

A letter rides out.

Duan Shigan said: "Brothers, let's recharge our batteries first, and it will be our turn to work later."
