Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 205
Cao Lingzhong came to Beiting 20 years ago, and he almost witnessed the whole process of the Uighurs replacing the Turks and rising above the grasslands.

As for Gele Khan of the Uyghur, Cao Lingzhong served as the Beiting Protectorate for more than ten years and led all Tang's military operations against the Uyghur.

The two, who could be called fateful enemies, had never met each other.

Even though they are only a few miles apart now, the two have no chance to meet each other.

In the early morning of the third day, as Mang Gucha expected, the Uyghur cavalry who came from the lower reaches to surround the Tang army failed to arrive at the designated location on time because of the muddy grass on a rainy night.

Gele Khan walked out of the camp, feeling refreshed by the fresh air outside. The rain that had rained all night had stopped, and the cool air outside the camp was much more comfortable than the sweltering heat of the previous few days.

This kind of weather is naturally suitable for fighting. Gele Khan looked up at the clear sky. Although the rain caused a little trouble for the Uyghurs, it only made the Tang cavalry on the opposite side live for a long time.

Khan Gele asked coldly, "When will the downstream cavalry complete the double-teaming?"

Mang Gucha immediately said: "It only takes half a day."

"Pass my order, if you can't encircle the Tang army after half a day, the rear army's gains will be halved."

Mang Gucha quickly recorded the Khan's order, and ordered a personal guard to pass the Khan's order to the rear army at high speed.

Harvest is used to measure military exploits, and halving the harvest is halving the military exploits, which is unbearable for the Uighurs who are eager to make meritorious deeds.

In Datang's camp, the cavalry of Datang assembled early in the morning, and the soldiers patiently wrapped the horseshoes with non-slip rags.

Cao Lingzhong sat steadily in the tent of the Chinese army. He finished the pancake in his hand without any haste, and took a sip of water slowly.

Pang Yawei stood aside, and when the whole army was digested, Cao Lingzhong put on his armor and mounted his horse.

Pang Yawei was amazed by the sight of uniform orders and prohibitions. This Cao Lingzhong really managed the army well.

This time the Tang army did not attack the Uyghur camp in the river valley, but turned around and ran towards the lower reaches of the Katun River.

Cao Lingzhong knew very well that if Gele Khan used all the Uighur troops in the valley, his 6000 troops would have been defeated long ago.

The reason why Gele Khan didn't come out in full force was because he wanted to wait until the downstream cavalry tied their pockets and wiped out the six thousand cavalry in one go.

Last night, Cao Lingzhong sent scouts to detect the encirclement of Uighur cavalry downstream.

But it rained all night yesterday, Cao Lingzhong knew that these cavalry could not reach the designated encirclement point, so he let the Tang army take a good rest, and waited until the morning for breakfast and supplies before leading the troops to attack.

And the target of Cao Lingzhong's attack was the Uyghur cavalry unit who came from the lower reaches of the rainy march yesterday!
Next, Pang Yawei finally understood why the Beiting cavalry was the strongest cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. The Qingqi cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who came and went like the wind struck the Uighur cavalry in the lower reaches of the Uighurs who were exhausted.

These cavalry traveled in the rain, and camped in the wild yesterday.But it rained all night yesterday, and the grassland was already muddy.These cavalry generals were urged by Gele Khan again. In order to reach the designated encirclement before noon, they hurriedly marched before breakfast.

On the other hand, the cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty got a full rest last night, and set off after having a good breakfast in the morning, and tied non-slip cloth heads on the horseshoes.

There were more than 1 Uighur cavalry who came to support from the lower reaches, but the cavalry of the Tang army with less than 6000 men broke through the main formation.

After the formation was breached, the Uighur cavalry was completely disbanded, but Cao Lingzhong did not let the soldiers chase, but instead allowed the Uighur cavalry to be defeated and flee. Officers at all levels restrained their subordinates and regrouped.

As soon as the Tang army regrouped, Gele Khan's reinforcements had already arrived.

But seeing that Cao Lingzhong's troops did not disperse to pursue the defeated Uighur cavalry, Gele Khan also knew that his morale was low, and he would not be able to catch the Tang army's flaws today.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and the sky was getting dark, and both sides returned to the camp with their respective soldiers.

Back in the camp, Cao Lingzhong took off his armor wearily, and said to Pang Yawei, "You said you wanted me to hold back the Uighur army for five days, and today is the third day."

Pang Yawei said firmly: "It will take another two days!"

Cao Lingzhong sighed and said: "It's not easy to delay for another two days. Although the reinforcements in the lower reaches of the Uyghurs were defeated today, our army did not pursue them. The casualties of the reinforcements in the lower reaches of the Uyghurs were not large. It only takes a day or two to regroup."

"And Gele Khan has also seen the strength of our army, and he no longer has the mentality of being lucky. I am afraid that he will attack us with all his troops. It will be difficult for the next two days."

Pang Yawei was also silent. The three-day battle had caused Tang Jun a lot of losses, but he still said sincerely: "Old General, please hold on for another two days."

Cao Lingzhong nodded and said, "Hey, let's hold on for another two days!"

At this time, at a bend in the upper reaches of the Caton River, at the foot of the Jinshan Mountain, all the men, women and children of the Geluolu tribe who could work were gathered on the construction site.

They excavated rocks and built dams in the Caton River.

The players took the construction drawings of the dam and continued to direct the Geluolu people to throw stones into the river.

A dam has already taken shape, but Timur looked at the gradually rising water level in the dam, but he still had no idea.

The continuous high temperature caused the water level of the Katun River to drop by half, and the water level in the upper reaches was not enough. Even if the dam was blown up, it would not be able to wash away the Uyghur camp.

Although the meteorologist had repeatedly assured that it was going to rain heavily, but after a light rain last night, the weather cleared up today, and there wasn't even a single dark cloud in the sky.

Will it continue to rain?If it does not rain, the plan to flood the Uyghur army will be ruined.

But now, we can only speed up the construction of the dam. Timur brought hot water to the edge of the dam, and greeted the busy herdsmen on the construction site to drive away the cold.

In Beiting Dufu Mansion, the military advisers and players were too nervous to sleep. They stared at the sand table, adjusting the positions of the chess pieces on the sand table at all times, and deduced the development of the war.

Yu Junjie sighed nonstop looking at the results of the deduction, and only then did he understand why those famous battles in history are so rare.

Sun Tzu's summary of the right time, place and people is really a wise saying. To successfully overwhelm the Uighur army, all three are indispensable.

There must be heavy rains in the sky to raise the water level of the Katun River, so that the Uighur barracks can be washed away.

The geographical advantage must drag the Uyghurs into the camp in the river valley, which requires the Tianshan Army led by Cao Lingzhong to hold back the Uyghurs' main force.

Renhe is even more mysterious. To win this battle, the Tianshan Army and the Geluolu people must be mobilized at the same time, and all forces that can be united must be united.

Yu Junjie sighed again, the stage has been set up, whether the next performance will be exciting or not depends on the performance of the actors on the spot!
　This, ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month!
