Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 204 Lian Po Is Old
Everyone has his own style of using troops, and only a general who has formed his own unique style can be called a general.

Among the current players, Yuchixin is the only one who can have his own style of using troops.

Yu Chixin's style is steady, he fights in a steady and steady manner, gradually accumulating local advantages, and when these advantages are transformed into victories, he can naturally crush the enemy.

Fighting against Yu Chixin is very desperate, because it is difficult for you to find a breakthrough in his position, you can only see yourself being swallowed up a little bit.

And Cao Lingzhong was able to sit in Beiting for 20 years, suppressing the Uighurs so much that they dare not go south, which also shows his military ability.

Cao Lingzhong's characteristic is agility. He commanded the cavalry as if commanding his own arms. Under his command, the cavalry who came and went like the wind were even more elegant and agile to the extreme.

I only saw Cao Lingzhong's cavalry fishing not far from the river valley. The six thousand Tang troops were like cunning goshawks. Once they encountered the Uyghur army's flaws, they would peck at them, but the Uyghur's trap and the Tang army would not take advantage of it. .

Pang Yawei watched from a distance on his horse, and saw a defeated Uighur army retreating to the valley, but Cao Lingzhong strictly ordered not to pursue it.

Sure enough, after the Uighur army withdrew, a large number of ambushes appeared on the mountains on both sides of the valley.

Pang Yawei broke out in a cold sweat. If he couldn't help chasing him, he would fall into the trap of the Uighurs.

If Pang Yawei asked himself, he commanded the army and would definitely not be able to resist chasing this defeated army.

But Cao Lingzhong held back, and the 6000 Tang cavalry stood from dawn to dusk. During this period, Cao Lingzhong's army escaped from the encirclement of the Uighurs countless times, and concentrated their forces to beat the Uighur cavalry who surrounded them.

This back-and-forth contest continued into the night.

Cao Lingzhong's military tent was brightly lit. This kind of kerosene lamp was brought by Pang Yawei from Gaochang City.

The transparent glass cover covers the wick, and the flame will not be shaken by the wind.Lamp oil is vegetable oil extracted from soybeans by players, and it can be burned overnight if it is filled with an oil pot.

Four kerosene lamps illuminated the parchment map brightly. Cao Lingzhong stared at the map, thinking about tomorrow's battle.

Pang Yawei couldn't stand it any longer, and he didn't wake up until the officers who counted the losses came in.

"Cao Duhu, 310 people were killed in battle today, 520 people were injured, and [-] horses were lost."

"Understood, follow me to the wounded barracks."

"It's already the second watch, and the guard will command the battle tomorrow, so let's rest early."

Cao Lingzhong shook his head and said, "I can't sleep, let's go to the wounded soldiers' camp."

Pang Yawei also stood up, and said to Cao Lingzhong, "General, I'll go and see with you."

Cao Lingzhong nodded. Under the protection of his own soldiers, Cao Lingzhong came to the wounded soldiers camp.

After entering the camp, Pang Yawei heard cries of pain. The whole camp was a flat grass field, and the wounded soldiers were lying on the ground with broken clothes under their bodies.

As he walked, Pang Yawei became more and more shocking. This year's grassland was extremely hot in summer, and the wounds of many wounded soldiers festered.

Some soldiers looked like minors, and they saw Cao Lingzhong check the patients one by one, and then comfort the wounded.

Walking out of the wounded barracks, Pang Yawei was in a low mood, Cao Lingzhong sighed and said: "Those with gangrene may not survive."

The surrounding soldiers also nodded. Pang Yawei understood that gangrene is a wound infection. In this era without antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, this year's grassland is extremely hot, and wound infection is fatal.

Pang Yawei said: "General, can these wounded soldiers be handed over to me?"

Cao Lingzhong looked at Pang Yawei suspiciously and asked, "Do you still know medicine?"

Pang Yawei nodded and said, "Understood! I will get the medicine!"

Cao Lingzhong nodded and said: "Then I will leave it to you. These are my good sons from Tang Dynasty. They are the pillars of the family. If you can save one, it is one."

After saying this, Cao Lingzhong lost interest, and returned to the big tent with his own soldiers.

Pang Yawei took over the battalion of wounded soldiers, and first ordered the barracks to boil hot water, use hot water to disinfect the clothes of the patients, and keep the wounds dry and hygienic.

Through the "Battlefield First Aid Manual" checked on the Internet, Pang Yawei worked hard to make the wounded barracks a little more hygienic.

But to treat these wounded soldiers, the help of other players is still needed. Only enough medicine can control the wound infection. Pang Yawei sent a request for help to his old friends in Gaochang City.

Pang Yawei is a member of the street lamp pendant union and Gaochang Chamber of Commerce. After his post was posted on the forum, he immediately received support from players.

Zeng Mu in Liulin even donated a large amount of aspirin, together with high-concentration alcohol produced by various wineries in Gaochang, and a medical team composed of doctors and players, they quickly marched towards the grassland.

But when they rushed to the grassland, it was already after the war.

The sun rose again, and the next day's battle was about to start again.

Early in the morning, Gele Khan came out of the golden tent, and there was a thick fog this morning, and the air was much more humid than the previous few days.

Gele Khan looked at the sky and saw flying insects flying low. He called his guards and said, "How is the dam?"

Mang Gucha immediately said: "Most of the construction has been completed, and the Caton River is about to be cut off."

Gele Khan said: "It's going to rain, let the craftsmen stop for a while and wait for the rain to rebuild. In addition, order the camps to move one mile away from the river bank before setting up camp."

Mang Gucha quickly visited various camps and issued Gele Khan's order.

It's just that for Gele Khan's order, many camp leaders felt that it was unnecessary.

The Caton River is not a very wide river. Even if it rains heavily, it will not flood the current camp. Instead of having this time to move the camp, it is better to go after Datang's army.

That's a visible feat!

Regarding the order to relocate the camp, all the barracks obeyed and obeyed. When the sun rose completely, Gele Khan assembled the army again and continued to attack the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.

Gele Khan's tactics were also very simple. He used the elite in the midstream to hold back the Tang army, and ordered the downstream army to circle around and outflank the Tang army.

As long as it is delayed for another two days, the Tang army will completely fall into the encirclement of the Uyghurs, and then launch a general offensive at that time, and the Tang army will be wiped out in one fell swoop.

During the battle, Gele Khan also deliberately sent troops from non-Wangting tribes to fight the Tang army first.

Although these tribes are also Uyghurs, they are not the army of the royal court, and Uyghurs rule over these tribes is very loose.

In addition to allowing young nobles to serve as "inspectors" beside the Khan, these tribes cultivated loyalty to the Khan while learning the Khan's political skills. Through these hostages, the Uyghur royal court was able to control small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland.

Another conspiracy used by Gele Khan is to continuously recruit the elites of these tribes and consume their vital strength.

The reward for killing the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty was very generous, and the small Uighur tribe naturally pursued them more bravely, and the casualties were even more serious.

Datang wants to support the rebels and prevent the grasslands from being unified.

The Uighur Khan must also constantly weaken the strength of small and medium-sized tribes so that they cannot become challengers of grassland hegemony.

War is the best way to weaken these tribes. As long as the young and middle-aged are dead, even if they go back with spoils, the spoils are useless.

This is also the tacit ruling technique of the Uighur Khan, through war to weaken the tribes that threaten the king's account, so that the Uighur tribes can maintain their repressive power.

So Gele Khan has been suppressing the cavalry in the formation, not letting them charge too fast, just not wanting them to suffer too many casualties.

Today was another deadlocked day, with both sides fighting until sunset before returning to camp.

Gele Khan sat in the camp, but felt a little restless.

Mang Gucha entered the king's tent and said to Gele Khan: "Honorable Khan, the cavalry sent from the upper reaches brought news of a request for help. The upper reaches were attacked by the Ge Luolu people, and they asked for help."

So it turns out that Gele Khan now understands the strategy of the Tang people and the Ge Luolu people.

When Gele Khan heard the news of the upstream war, he relaxed physically and mentally.

Mang Gucha looked at Khan Gele suspiciously, not understanding why Khan, who had been tense all the time, relaxed when he heard the news of the call for help.

Gele Khan may be older, and he prefers to support and support the backward. He said to Mang Gucha:
"The Tang people colluded with the Geluolu people. The Tang people held back our army, and the Geluolu people swallowed up the upper reaches of the army. This is called "striking from the east to attack the west" in the military method of the Tang people."

"The Tang people used themselves as bait to hold Ben Khan back, but Ben Khan wanted to swallow the Tang people's cavalry!"

Mang Gucha admired the Khan's wisdom. Tomorrow, the cavalry from the downstream will cut off the Tang army's retreat. At that time, the [-] Tang cavalry will become the meal of the Uighur army.

Mang Gucha withdrew from Gele Khan's camp, suddenly a gust of north wind blew, and a drop of rain fell on Mang Gucha's face.

It's raining?Sparse light rain fell from the sky, bringing a cool north wind.

Mang Gucha walked back to his tent against the rain, but felt a little uneasy.The rain will make the pasture muddy. Will the cavalry encircled from the lower reaches fail to catch up with the Tang army?
But at this time, we can only pray to Changshengtian that it will stop raining tomorrow, or else it will rain heavily, which will affect the army's operations.

At the same time, the 32 Geluolu tribes in the upper reaches also basically cleared the camp of the Uighurs in the upper reaches of the Katun River.

Timur and other players investigated dozens of miles upstream and finally found an estuary suitable for damming the river.

This drizzle also disrupted the plan to build a dam tomorrow. If the river rises now, it will be difficult to build a dam.

Cao Lingzhong also walked out of the handsome tent. He looked at Pang Yawei behind him, only to see that the other party stretched out his hand to feel the north wind, and then said:

"General, this is the rain before the front. It won't last long. It will clear up tomorrow morning, and the large-scale rain will take two or three days!"

Only then did Cao Lingzhong feel relieved, and he said to his subordinate soldiers: "Take a good rest tonight and assemble half an hour earlier tomorrow. The pasture is muddy and slippery. Remember to remind the battalions to wrap the horseshoes in cloth before going out to fight."

Cao Lingzhong looked at the Uighur king's tent not far away. He had fought with Gele Khan in Beiting all his life, but neither side had ever met.

I don't know if this Lian Po is old, can he still eat?
