Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 572
Chapter [-] I am arrogant and infinitely arrogant

In Guangnian Town, Gao Yaxian looked towards the direction of Shahe Bay, and at the end of his eyes, he didn't even see the shadow of Tang Jun.At this time, it was noon, the sky was hot, and the armor was a little hot from the sun.

Gao Yaxian said impatiently: "Why haven't you come yet, isn't Tang Jun afraid?"

In fact, when Chen Ying left the camp an hour ago, it was a pity that Liu Heitai sent more than 100 cavalry scouts, a total of thousands of people.However, these cavalry scouts were either beheaded by the hooked and sickle cavalry, or they became prisoners of the Tang army.Chen Ying handed over the more than [-] captives of the Xia army scouts, together with Su Dingfang's headquarters, a total of more than [-] people, to Su Dingfang, and appointed Su Dingfang as Xiaoqiwei.

This Xiaoqi Lieutenant was a fourth-rank military officer of the Tang Army, and he was regarded as a sixth-rank military officer. It is said that Su Dingfang surrendered to Chen Ying without any merit, so he should not enjoy such treatment, but Chen Ying still gave him this treatment.

Su Dingfang was naturally very grateful. He had worked hard for Liu Heitai for more than a year, and now he is only an official title of Captain Yunqi, regarded as the seventh rank.

Liu Heita said in a deep voice, "They will definitely come!"

Gao Yaxian couldn't help asking: "But, what about them?"

"Not yet, but..." Liu Heikai said: "Chen Ying is especially good at field battles, and his East Palace Fourth Commander should be Tang's army that is best at field battles, much better than the Sixteen Guards! "

At this moment, Liu Heita suddenly thought of something: "Quick, back camp!"

Throughout history, one will surely find that Dou Jiande is the best person in this era who is good at special operations and surprise attacks.In the 12th year of Daye, Dou Jiande faced Guo Xun, the general defender of Zhuozhou. Dou Jiande first sent Guo Xun to pretend to surrender. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he defeated Guo Xuan, killed and captured thousands of people, and got more than 1000 horses. The individual escaped quietly, and the dispatch department will chase him all the way to Pingyuan County.In the 13th year of Daye, General Zuo Yiwei Xue Shixiong led 3 troops to attack Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande personally led more than [-] troops to attack Xue Shixiong, defeating Xue Shixiong in one fell swoop.

Dou Jiande's team, which is good at sneak attacks at night and wins more with less, is the special forces of this era. The commander of this special forces is actually Liu Heita.After Liu Heikai mastered this army, he made friends with heroes from all walks of life extensively, and spied on various military separatist forces. He was also very good at observing changes in the surrounding military situation, and soon became known as "brave and treacherous". Treacherous", to put it nicely, means to be resourceful.On the eve of Dou Jiande preparing to take military action, he always sends his own special forces to disperse and infiltrate the enemy with makeup to spy on the truth and look for fighter opportunities.These special forces either report the falsehoods of the enemy's troops to the battalion after they have spied on them clearly, or they gather suddenly on the enemy's side and attack the enemy's head by surprise. Cooperating with the peripheral military confrontation, they often win a battle very quickly. .He became famous because of this, "the name is brave".After Liu Heitai's rebellion, he also followed Dou Jiande's way of fighting, pretending to be defeated by most of them, and making an elite sneak attack to establish the victory in one fell swoop.

The Tang army camp in Shahewan is only more than [-] miles away from Guangnian Town. For Chen Ying's army, it would take at most an hour to reach this distance. Without seeing it, Liu Heitai naturally thought of another skill of Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying and Liu Heitai were both fellow travelers, they saw the opportunity and beat the enemy with one move.

However, Liu Heitai actually thought wrong.

In order to intimidate the heroes of Hebei and heroes from all walks of life, Chen Ying shattered their last illusions and made them feel in their hearts that they would never be able to defeat Tang Jun, so Chen Ying did not play tricks with Liu Heitai at all.

Chen Ying just used the Xiao cavalry army's hook sickle and gun cavalry to remove all the cavalry scouts under Liu Heita's command. Transfer the elite troops to the back camp, and prepare to ambush Chen Ying's surprise soldiers.

A large number of scouts and elite shooting soldiers were transferred to the back camp by Liu Heita to guard against Chen Ying's sneak attack. In order to defend the back camp, he not only ordered Wang Xiaohu to lead Zhaozhou's general manager Zhao Xidao with more than [-] troops, but also He also ordered Dong Kang to stay in the camp of the Chinese army and support Wang Xiaohu at any time.

Until the third quarter of the hour (equivalent to nearly two o'clock in later generations), Liu Heitai felt something was wrong and sent out a large number of scouts.At this time, Liu Heita received the news.

Chen Ying's army is burying pots and making rice at the grass market ten miles away.

In fact, this news is also outdated news.Chen Yingdao started to stop and march as early as a quarter of noon, and was resting.The gangsters of the Tang army started to bury pots and cook food. The weather was hot, and the soldiers of the Tang army wore heavy armor, sweated a lot, and were prone to lack of water. Therefore, Chen Ying not only ordered the gangsters to prepare delicious meals, but also provided food for all the soldiers. Served with a large pot of mung bean soup and salt water.So that the soldiers can relieve the heat.

At this time, Liu Heikai was too thirsty to wait, and when he heard the news, he couldn't help but feel very depressed.Liu Heitai ordered helplessly: "All armies make food immediately!"

But when Liu Heitai's order had just been issued to the Huotou army, Xia Jun's Huotou army poured the chestnut rice into the pot and just boiled hot water. At this time, the scout came again and said: "Report Han Donggong, Chen Ying's army has already set out, and it will take at most a quarter of an hour to reach the battlefield!"

Upon receiving this news, Liu Heita couldn't help but tens of thousands of grass and mud horses flickered past.

So vile and shameless.

In a quarter of an hour, Xia Jun's battle meal can't be cooked at all. It takes at least two quarters of an hour to cook, and it takes at least half an hour for the entire army to finish eating.

Liu Heitai ordered helplessly: "The army leader continues to make food, and the whole army is ordered. After defeating the enemy, I will reward the three armies with half a catty of meat and one liter of wine for each!"

General Xia Jun, who was so hungry that his stomach was growling, felt even hungrier now when he heard the wine and meat.

Chen Yingke didn't care how the generals of the Xia army felt, he just continued to march step by step. As the generals of the Tang army got closer and closer to the forward of the Xia army, the generals of the Tang army brought great psychological pressure to the generals of the Xia army.

The hooked and sickle cavalry of the first regiment of the Tang army rode tall horses rampantly, strangling Xia's sentry cavalry with hooked and sickled spears.

This is the first time for Liu Heikai to experience the fighting power of these mysterious black knights in person. These guys seem to be glued to the horse's back, no matter how bumpy the horse is, they will not move at all. With one swing, Xia Jun's scout company was cut into two pieces.The scouts of the Xia army can be regarded as the best among the hundreds of thousands of Xia army, but compared with these black armored cavalry, there is a big gap in the quality of horses, equipment, techniques and tactics, and they have been singled out one after another. Or be beheaded on the spot.

Apparently, these fierce black knights wanted to push back the Xia army's powerful security curtain and completely control the entire battlefield.Liu Heitai is also experienced in many battles, and he knows the situation on the battlefield with just one glance: "In this outpost battle, his scouts have already lost all their strength!"

Liu Heikai stared at the retreating backs of those black-clothed knights, and a look of worry flashed across his brows: "This is Chen Ying's army, really amazing? It doesn't matter if the riding skills are exceptional, and the equipment is so good. I'm afraid it's not easy to fight..."

Gao Yaxian looked at Liu Heitai solemnly and said: "This enemy army is not weak. Their scout skills are not inferior to the most elite Turkic soldiers, and they can even reach the level of the former Sui Xiaoguo army..."

Song Zhengben frowned: "Are they really that strong?"

Gao Yaxian said: "There is absolutely no exaggeration!"

Liu Heitai glanced at the dozens of cannons, and grinned: "So what if they are strong? The Xiaoguo Army is also under the hands of our brothers. No matter how strong they are, are they stronger than our stone cannons?"

All the officers and soldiers of the Xia Army laughed triumphantly. It's not that the Xia Army has never fought a tough battle.The toughest battle is to fight against Yu Wenhuaji's Xiaoguo army, which is the elite of the old base.When Dou Jiande faced Yu Wenhuaji, he found that the Xiaoguo army under Yu Wenhuaji was extremely well equipped. They were wearing iron armor, just like the shields in the hands of soldiers were covered with iron sheets. The Xia army's army suffered a big loss when they first fought against each other.

However, Dou Jiande immediately used the modified trebuchet, which is extremely delicate and convenient.In fact, Dou Jiande installed two wheels on the trebuchet fixed on the ground, so that soldiers could push it around.It is very convenient to move. When you need to launch, you only need to smash a few wooden plugs into the ground, fix the catapult on the ground, and then adjust the launch angle.

When Chen Ying rejected Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, Dou Jiande wanted to take this method against Chen Ying's Modao army, but it was a pity that Chen Ying was stationed on Paoma Ridge at that time, condescending, and Xia Jun's catapults were used. In the case of upward shooting, the power is greatly reduced.

The key point is that if Chen Ying throws stones down the mountain, it can even save more effort than the trebuchet, and the effect can even be better than the trebuchet, so Dou Jiande gave up the idea of ​​storming Paomaling.

After years of fighting, the Xia army has grown into an extremely powerful force.In particular, the stone cannon technique has advanced by leaps and bounds. Since the rebellion, it has fought against the Sui army or other anti-king troops many times.They firmly believe that their artillery is the strongest. No matter how strong the Tang army is, it will be defeated by their fierce artillery fire, and they will be wiped out in one fell swoop!
More than [-] cavalrymen with hooks and sickles were enough to shock the generals of the Xia army, but as the Tang army slowly approached, at this time, the sound of horseshoes was loud.More than [-] riders slowly approached the Xia army's formation.A group of cavalry appeared in the field of vision of Xia Jun's soldiers.

These cavalrymen were all wearing black armor and steel helmets. The armor was made of large steel plates, which was quite different from the Mingguang armor used by the Tang army.The helmet was a heavy lump of iron, with a black plume made of horsetail fluttering wildly in the wind.

Of course, the most frightening thing was the sickle spears in their hands, which were four feet long, and the head of the spear was three feet long. The cold light was dazzling and the cold air was overwhelming.All the generals of the Xia army gasped when they saw the sickle guns being held up straight, the barrels trembling slightly with the galloping horses.

The shape of the hook sickle gun is more deterrent than ordinary long guns, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are five or six thousand human-shaped tin cans in their army. Only well-known generals are eligible to use the logo, and they actually have one!
Everyone in the army wears heavy armor, a pair of armor with about [-] calibers, and everyone has one. What kind of bloody army is this, it's too arrogant!

After arriving at the battlefield, the main force of the Tang Army did not rush to attack the Xia Army's formation, but advanced slowly, keeping a distance of about [-] steps from the Xia Army's formation.This distance makes Liu Heitai very uncomfortable. If he wants to shoot with a stone cannon, but the distance is too far and he can't hit him, let's send cavalry to charge and kill. He is also intimidated by the opponent's momentum, worried that the cavalry will suffer too much damage, and he is a little hesitant for a while.

Chen Ying said carelessly: "Liu Heitai, come out and talk if you have eggs!"

PS: Thank you very much for the rewards from Laiye book friends!
