Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 206 Full of Favorability?

On the fourth day, Gele Khan personally ordered the army today. Today Gele Khan completely gave up the fantasy of easily defeating the Tang army, and began to fight steadily.

Once the opponent started to fight steadily, the pressure on Tang Jun's side increased greatly.

The elite of the Uighur Khan King's Tent was mobilized, the elite heavy cavalry of the three major stele forest troops were in the middle army, and the light cavalry roamed on the two wings. The entire Uighur army formed an effective killing machine.

The armored heavy cavalry charged, coupled with the flanking light cavalry who were skilled in arching horses to restrain them, the Tianshan Army encountered the most difficult battle since leaving the fortress.

Gele Khan sent out all the elite guards around him, and Mang Gucha, as the centurion, led a hundred people to the front line.

Three thousand heavy cavalry were in the middle. They were the most elite knights in the Uighurs. They wore heavy armor, even their horses.

Although ordinary Uyghur horses have strong endurance and fast speed, they cannot bear the weight of armored knights, so the horses under this heavy cavalry are all Dawan horses obtained by Uyghur from the Western Regions.

The Dawan horse is also a hard-earned horse, and it is the best war horse available in East Asia today.

The Dawan horse has a particularly strong load capacity and can bear the weight of the knight plus the armor. Moreover, this kind of horse is also very explosive. Once it charges, it will really shake the ground.

But in Cao Lingzhong's view, these clumsy heavy cavalry were not the biggest threat, but the light cavalry on the flanks that most threatened him.

These light cavalry rode Uyghur horses, held various bows and arrows, and had various armors on their bodies.

These cavalry looked messy at first glance, but Cao Lingzhong did not dare to underestimate them. This was the absolute power of the Uighurs ruling the grassland.

These are Uighur warriors who rode horses and archery since they were young. They gather around "Berke" in tribes.

Burke is the most basic nobleman of the Uyghur. Burke owns a pasture, several households of free people and slaves. When he went to the battlefield, Burke led his own people to join the army, and Burke naturally became a grassroots officer in the army.

Burke not only had to join the army himself, but was also responsible for the weapons and equipment of his subordinates. They often formed a squad of more than a dozen people and belonged to the leadership of the centurion.

Every Uyghur Burke is a warrior with superb cavalry, and Uyghurs are good at forging iron. Their weapons are not much different from those of Datang, but the steel raw materials are relatively scarce, so they prefer to fight with spears and bows.

Mang Gucha held the reins nervously. These soldiers were all from his tribe. The ten Burkes were his companions since he was a child. , still nervous.

Pang Yawei was also very nervous. He followed the troops on horseback, and in front of him was a battalion of Lushuai Zhang.

Zhang Lvshuai often bought Pang Yawei's pancakes when he was in Beiting, and he and Pang Yawei were old acquaintances.

However, Zhang Lushuai at this time was completely different from the way he usually buys pancakes. He got on his horse with a serious expression and rushed out of the camp with the soldiers.

On this day, the Tang army and the Uyghur army fought from dawn to dusk. Gele Khan also showed his patience and wisdom when he dominated the grassland, and sat in the camp of the Chinese army, flexibly commanding the army to divide and surround the Tang army.

On the other hand, Cao Lingzhong led the Tianshan cavalry, constantly looking for weak positions in the Uyghur encirclement, breaking out from left to right, and killing a Uyghur carbine from time to time, swallowing the Uyghur's single troops.

When the sun went down, the two warring parties each dropped hundreds of corpses, and then retreated back to their camps.

Pang Yawei saw a large number of wounded soldiers being carried into the wounded barracks, and Zhang Lushuai, who often bought pancakes from him, was also shot in the thigh by an arrow.

After Zhang Lushuai was hit by an arrow, he broke the shaft of the arrow and insisted on commanding the battle. When he was carried down, the wound had already festered.

The arrowheads of the Uighurs were all soaked in horse manure, and the arrowheads were covered with bacteria. Zhang Lushuai had a fever and fell into a coma when he was carried in.

Pang Yawei hurriedly put Zhang Lvshuai on the operating table made of wood, tore off his clothes and saw the shocking wound, Pang Yawei immediately took out a flame-sterilized scalpel, and carefully dug out the arrow in the wound.

Immediately afterwards, Pang Yawei asked someone to bring distilled and purified high-grade liquor and sprinkle it on the wound.

These liquors are all liquors in the military camp collected by Pang Yawei, and they have been distilled and purified to obtain high-grade liquor.

This kind of high alcohol can kill the bacteria on the wound and indeed saved the lives of many soldiers.

However, there is a lack of anti-inflammatory drugs on the front line, and there are still many wounded who die every day.

Sprinkled strong alcohol on Zhang Lushuai's wound, and Pang Yawei used a scalpel to cut open the carrion near the wound. The next thing to do is to see if Zhang Lushuai himself can survive.

With a sigh, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in the night.

Timur, who was upstream, also saw this flash of lightning, and the north wind gradually began to howl, and the rain fell on Timur's face.

"It's finished!" the craftsman of the Muruo tribe shouted, and the dam closed the last hole.

A small dam was completed, and the Geluolu people on the construction site hugged each other.

Moluoil came to Timur with a bowl of mare's milk and asked, "Brother Timur, it's really going to rain."

Timur raised his head, looked at the tent crookedly blown by the strong wind, nodded and said, "Heavy rain is coming."

Muroil looked at the newly built dam and said, "Can it be done?"

Timur firmly said: "It will be possible!"

Just as Timur finished speaking, the cold air from the northern plateau finally collided with the warm hot wind ridge.

The bean-sized rain fell from the sky and hit the Jinshan Mountain.

And the rainwater flows down the hillside and gathers in the Caton River.

These rivers converging from the mountains were blocked by the dams in the upper reaches of the Caton River, and the rivers began to gather in the upper reaches of the river.

There are also some river waters that flow into the river bed of the Caton River and lift up the originally dried up river water.

During the heavy rain, Cao Lingzhong walked out of the tent. He refused the coir raincoat offered by his personal guards. Standing in the summer rainy night, the old general opened his arms, looked up at the sky and murmured:

"It's really raining, my destiny in the Tang Dynasty is still alive! Does King Jianning really have a destiny?"

Cao Lingzhong thought of Pang Yawei who had sworn to himself that it would rain, and asked left and right: "Is Pang Lang still in the wounded barracks?"

The personal guard immediately said: "Pang Jun is still rescuing the wounded in the wounded barracks."

After Pang Yawei took over the wounded barracks, he used spirits to disinfect the wounds, and popularized some hygiene knowledge, and suffered a lot of injuries from the injured barracks.

Pang Yawei also popularized some knowledge of first aid on the battlefield to the soldiers. He was quite popular in the Tianshan Army, and the soldiers called him Pang Jun instead of Pang Lang.

Cao Lingzhong put on his coir raincoat and came to the wounded barracks with his own soldiers.

The soldiers with these infected wounds could not get in the rain, and several tents were blown down by the wind. Pang Yawei was pulling the tents with the soldiers.

After finally pulling up the tent again, Pang Yawei saw Cao Lingzhong, and immediately stepped forward to salute Cao Lingzhong: "General Cao."

Cao Lingzhong pointed to the sky and said, "Let me tell you, it's raining, and it's enough to wait another day?"

Pang Yawei has learned through the player channel that the upstream dam has been completed.

Now the water level of the dam is rising rapidly, and it only takes one day to accumulate enough river water.

Pang Yawei said firmly: "Just stick to it for another day!"

Cao Lingzhong nodded and said nothing to Pang Yawei, "You can fight with me tomorrow."

"what?"

Pang Yawei was a little stunned, and Cao Lingzhong said to him: "If you lose the battle tomorrow, there will be no eggs under the nest, and it is useless for you to stay here. You might as well learn how to march and fight with me."

Pang Yawei was stunned, did he get enough favorability?This Cao Lingzhong wants to teach himself the art of war?
There are quite a few players who have thought about learning the art of war, but among all the knowledge, the art of war is the most difficult to learn.

At present, apart from Yu Chixin's talent, and Yanxi, who has obtained the family art of war from Xue Xiaowei's family, and has become the only general among the players, there is no player who can command the ancient army to fight.

After all, it is not so easy to be a general.

Cao Lingzhong was able to use [-] cavalry like his arm, which shows his ability to use troops. If there is such a master who teaches the art of war by himself, this is a great opportunity!
Pang Yawei immediately said excitedly to Cao Lingzhong: "Thank you, General!"

In the early morning of the next day, when the pouring rain continued, Mang Gucha came out of the camp with dark circles under his eyes.

It rained suddenly last night. The day before yesterday, Gele Khan informed the camp to camp away from the Caton River. Many barracks did not follow suit. The water in the Caton River surged yesterday, and some barracks were flooded.

Gele Khan ordered Mang Gucha to take people to inspect the barracks, and returned to the camp to rest after tossing all night.

Just after dawn, Gele Khan ordered the troops to gather again, and Mang Gucha could only go into battle with dark circles under his eyes.

Yesterday's bitter battle had exhausted the Uighurs physically and mentally, and today they had to fight against the heavy rain, and there were even more complaints in the barracks.

Gele Khan stood in the king's tent, looking at the pouring rain outside, feeling restless for no reason.

The summer in the grassland is like the mood of a young girl, which changes as soon as it is said.

Yesterday was still a clear sky, and today it was pouring rain, but Gele Khan knew that the Datang cavalry suffered heavy losses yesterday, and today they must work harder to take down this formidable enemy!
As long as the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty were defeated, the Uyghurs would no longer have any interference in the Mobei grassland, and Gele Khan could stabilize the hegemony of the Uyghurs by virtue of the prestige of defeating the Tang army.

Unable to give the Tang army a chance to recuperate, Gele Khan made a secret decision. He beat drums to gather troops and launched an attack on the opposite Tang army again.

Pang Yawei put on an ill-fitting armor and stood side by side with Cao Lingzhong. Cao Lingzhong pointed to the reins and said, "I can't teach you the big things about the art of war, but I can still teach you a thing or two about the art of marching and fighting."

"Do you know how cavalry combat, why are famous generals like Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui able to suppress the barbarians who grew up on horseback, and bring out an iron cavalry that makes the barbarians in the grassland fearful?"

Pang Yawei shook his head.

Cao Lingzhong said: "In cavalry combat, sharpness is the first priority! If the general is brave, the whole army will be unstoppable. On the contrary, if the general is weak, the whole army will be afraid of fighting."

"Do you know why I dared to promise you to hold Gele Khan's elite royal tent for five days?"

Pang Yawei shook his head to express his ignorance.

Cao Lingzhong said: "If ten years ago, the Uighur Khan led the troops himself, I would have stayed away from him and dared not take advantage of him."

"But now, the wolf king is old, he can no longer ride a horse, and he can no longer direct the battle himself."

Cao Lingzhong looked at Pang Yawei and said: "But I have cultivated myself for 20 years, and I can still fight with a knife!"

"Boys! Raise the banner and follow me to defeat the enemy!"
