Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 115

Chen Ying very much hoped that this news was false, and he could take advantage of the opportunity of Qilifushe to lead the elite to take advantage of the emptiness and take down Bogulu City.However, there are still more than [-] Turkic troops in Bogulu City, and more than [-] of them are the most elite Turkic Wangzhang Army.

The Wangzhang Army is equivalent to the forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty. They were originally the soldiers of the Ashina clan, named "Fuli". Extraordinary treatment.However, it is different from the Forbidden Army of the Han Dynasty. These attached troops usually participate in the war and maintain a wealth of combat experience.

Moreover, the equipment of this army is the best among the Turkic armies. Generally, the Turkic light cavalry is only leather armor and cavalry bows. The Xuanjia cavalry in the Tang Dynasty had similar equipment.Moreover, most of these armors are mainly fish scale armors with super defensive capabilities.

This result stunned Chen Ying, and caught Chen Ying by surprise.

In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is trying to work.In the face of absolute strength, any strategy is trying to work.At this moment, Chen Ying finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.

Standing on the watchtower where the wind was as cold as a knife, Chen Ying's brain was working fast.Even with the troops of the Sixteenth Regiment of the Four Mansions, they still couldn't break the siege of Lingzhou.Chen Ying felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"How to do?"

"How to do?"

Chen Ying repeatedly questioned himself, even if Chen Ying wanted to break his head, he didn't think of a solution to the problem.

In fact, Chen Ying is not helpless. If Chen Ying brings the troops back to Chang'an now, even though the task of supporting the prefecture fails, Chen Ying is at most just dereliction of duty, and he should not be able to lose his head.

However, this result was unacceptable to Chen Ying.As long as he has no official position and nobility to protect him now, Su Hu will definitely make him unable to survive or die based on his feud with Su Hu.

Now he is different from the past, and broke up with Princess Pingyang.Without Li Xiuning as a backer, his relationship with Li Jiancheng is actually just a layer of paper. When he is still useful, he can still speak in front of Li Jiancheng.But once Li Jiancheng went back in such a disheveled manner, he would be ashamed, and he would never let him off lightly.

In a dilemma, Chen Ying had no way out.He clenched his fists and his knuckles creaked, his brows furrowed, and suddenly Chen Ying shouted: "Call all the Chinese army to discuss the matter!"

Just when Chen Ying turned around, he suddenly saw that the hand warmer that he used to keep warm had been sunk into the snow nearly a foot deep, and formed a small hole with a thick bowl mouth and a smooth vertical direction.

Seeing this small hole, a light flashed in Chen Ying's head.

"Catch the horse pit!"

Of course, this horse trap is not the horse trap in Li Jingwei's offensive and defensive war tools. Chen Ying thought of the horse traps that spread all over the three passes in the north during the Northern Song Dynasty.During the Song Dynasty, due to the loss of the land for raising horses in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, there was a great shortage of horses.In infantry versus cavalry, infantry suffers a lot.In this case, the horse pit application was born.This kind of small hole that is only as thick as the mouth of the bowl and vertically downward will cause the galloping horse to break the horse's leg in the middle, and the horse will be disabled and the person will die.

A hand warmer can melt snow and ice into a pothole in a short time.It is a horse trap, which is even easier than a horse trap dug on flat ground.

Chen Ying took the stove and experimented in the snow again, and it took almost one stick of incense to form a horse trap.But this speed is really too slow.

Of course, in order to avoid scalding the hands, the temperature of the hand warmer is not high. If it is changed into a hand warmer, can it be better and faster to make horse traps?

Thinking of this, Chen Ying approached Lin Chuanfu and shared his thoughts with Lin Chuanfu. Lin Chuanfu immediately said: "Don't worry, manager, this kind of thing is very easy!"

Thinking of the strategy to defeat the enemy, the unhappiness accumulated in Chen Ying's heart was swept away.When Chen Ying returned to the tent of the Chinese army, all the generals had been waiting for a long time, and of course no one expressed their displeasure.Not long after, all the generals arrived in the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Meet Mr. Chen!"

With a relaxed smile on Chen Ying's face, he said loudly: "We eat the king's salary and eat the people's millet in the world. If we live by stealth, we are no different from animals! Now that Lingzhou is in danger, the chief manager has decided to fight the enemy to the death! "

All the generals clasped their fists together and said, "Please follow the commander's order!"

"I'll give you two hours to prepare for battle!"

All the generals were taken aback suddenly, Chen Ying usually required them to gather and prepare very little time, but now it would take two hours, which made the generals feel unbelievable.With a little more time, you will naturally be more fully prepared without making a fuss.

They didn't know that the time reserved by Chen Ying was actually for building a new hand stove.

After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Chuanfu took out the hand stove that had been built.The real purpose of this kind of stove is to melt snow, so there is no insulation material at all, just one big and one small, and two iron cylinders are set together to prevent the charcoal fire from going out, which is different from ordinary charcoal stoves.

Chen Ying was carrying a hand stove filled with charcoal. At this time, the outer iron sheet of this kind of hand stove had burned red, and he threw it directly into the snowdrift, and within a few breaths, a horse pit was formed.

Chen Ying was very satisfied with this new hand stove, looked at Lin Chuanfu and said, "Is this kind of hand stove easy to build? The general needs one thousand, how long will it take if not two thousand?"

Lin Chuanfu said: "This kind of hand stove is not difficult at all. If General Chen gives me [-] more civilians, I can guarantee that [-] will be built in four hours!"

"No, I don't have that much time!" Chen Yingdao: "I need [-] hand stoves, and I can transfer all the folks to you. Can you build [-] hand stoves within two hours?"

"This..." Lin Chuanfu said, "I will do my best!"

"It's not about doing your best, it's about completing it!" Chen Yong said in an unquestionable tone, "Well done, I'll give you a reward, if you don't do well, you will be served by military law!"

Lin Chuanfu sighed helplessly.

When it was getting dark, the dark clouds were like lead, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts, and the cold wind from Siberia was howling, blowing on the face like a knife.On the empty snow field, snow particles are already falling.

Chen Ying squinted his eyes, looking at the majestic and majestic Bogulu City in the distance, the tassel beads on both sides of his cheeks were blown so that his ears hurt.Although the coming blizzard is extremely unfavorable to the march, the Turkic cavalry has already flocked to Lingzhou City in large numbers, and the blizzard has become a favorable cover.

Originally, Chen Ying had given up attacking Bogulu City, and was going to spare Bogulu City and join Duan Zhigan and Luo Shixin's troops who were guarding Hongshan Castle, and rushed to Lingzhou City at all costs.When using field battles again, use horse traps to trap Turkic people.

However, no matter how good the plan is, it cannot keep up with the rapid changes.Chen Ying didn't want to attack Bogulu City, but the Turks wanted to attack him.

Since Tilifu led the army to leave, the biggest official of the Turkic people in Bogulucheng was Yu Guni, "Chun". According to the Turkic official system, the children of the Ashina family can serve as Ye Hu and set up, while other tribes with surnames, Can only be "prostrate".Yu Guni had [-] cavalry under his command. When the scout told Yu Guni that the Tang army had a large convoy passing by, Yu Guni was immediately moved.

The tribe Yuguni belongs to is the Turkic Yusheshe. As a remote tribe of the Turks, the Yusheshe tribe is very poor, and they are all scared of being poor.Yu Guni got more than a thousand carts from Tang Jun, and Yu Guni was full of money.He was afraid that the "Affiliated Army" would rob them of their supplies by relying on their status, so he did not notify the Affiliated Army at all.

Yu Guni hurriedly ordered all six thousand pieces, and rushed towards Chen Ying's group.

In order to prevent the Tang army from escaping, Yu Guni ordered the six generals under his command to separate from the left, center and right, and three cavalry surrounded Chen Ying's troops in a fan shape.

Yu Guni pointed at Chen Ying's handsome flag and said, "Rush up and kill them!"

In fact, Chen Ying has always been very careful. During the formation process, the unobstructed snow field made it clear for the watchtowers walking in the convoy.When the Turks left the city, Chen Ying had already received the news.Although Chen Ying ordered the troops to continue marching, he quietly asked two thousand civilians to carry hand stoves and began to arrange horse traps.

When the hand stove melts the snow, a lot of steam is produced.Two thousand hand stoves melted the snow at the same time, forming a large amount of steam. The white steam hid the entire convoy in dense fog, which made the Turkic cavalry hesitate.

In fact, Chen Ying did not expect that the intensive use of a large number of hand stoves would have such an effect.

More than [-] Turkic cavalry suddenly fell off their horses, and there were endless screams and exclamations.

Yu Guni turned pale with shock: "There is a trap!"

But other Turkic people are different. They feel that it is not a trap, but Tang Junhui's magic.A large amount of steam filled the air, so that they could not see any Tang soldiers.But when they were inexplicable, they fell off their horses.

When all the Turkic cavalry realized that something was wrong and gathered the reins neatly, it was sad to find that the Tang army lost six or seven hundred horses in just one meeting without firing an arrow.
