Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 407 Winning More With Less ([-])

Wang Pingan dispatched Zhao Hao and Tieping each to send [-] special forces to fight Kang Sumi's [-] army was defeated, and he wanted to catch up with the defeated army and wipe them all out.

Hou Junji saw that there was something wrong with Wang Ping'an's expression, and asked, "Ping'an, is there something wrong?"

Wang Pingan said: "I'm worried. Kang Sumi will not sit idly by when Tieping and Zhao Hao go after those defeated troops. He will definitely send other troops to rescue those defeated troops. In this way, they may be surrounded."

Immediately Hou Junji also frowned. Wang Ping'an's worry was not unreasonable. Now that the two sides are fighting against each other, once they enter the opponent's territory, they are likely to be surrounded by the opponent's army. This will greatly disadvantage our army.

He couldn't help saying: "Should we send someone to inform them to let them come back?"

Wang Pingan shook his head and said: "No way, they are the vanguard troops. If we call them back, it may hurt the momentum of our army, and it will also restore the momentum of the Turkic army whose morale has fallen. Things we can't do."

"You're right." Hou Junji nodded slightly, and then said, "Since we can't notify them to retreat, then we will send troops to support them."

Wang Pingan said again: "No, we don't have extra troops to support them, and the left and right wings cannot move. Our 1000 people are used for the final battle with the Turkic army."

Hou Junji is also a well-known leader, and his leadership skills are also outstanding, otherwise Li Er would not have asked Li Jing to teach him the art of war.

Although Li Jing did not teach him the art of war, he also gave him a few books on war, so that he could achieve success in the art of war along the way.

So he said: "The art of war lies in cunning. The strength of our two sides is very different, but relying on powerful weapons such as machine crossbows, we just broke the rules and almost wiped out the opponent's entire army without injuring anyone in the front. This old man admires it very much, and at the same time thinks it is very dangerous."

"Oh, what's the explanation?" Wang Ping'an asked puzzled.

Hou Junji sighed and said: "Because it is possible that a war in the future does not need to depend on the number of people, nor on the strength of the general. As long as there is a powerful weapon in hand, then an ordinary person can also use it. It killed ten soldiers who were a hundred times stronger than him."

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "What Uncle Hou said is very true. The future war will be dominated by weapons. It is possible that we humans will invent a weapon that can wipe out a city in an instant. But what does this have to do with danger?"

"Because at that time the future will no longer be needed, and the number of soldiers will not matter anymore, isn't that dangerous enough?" Hou Junji asked rhetorically.

At this time, Tuqi and Xicha also looked at Wang Pingan, wanting to know the answer Wang Pingan gave everyone.

"Haha..." Wang Pingan laughed and said, "Uncle Hou, you are thinking too much. It is true that a weapon with strong lethality can easily kill ten soldiers who are stronger than him, so what about the ten queens?

I think neither the emperor nor the general wants the hundreds of people he protects to be harmed, or the country he protects to be invaded.Then there is only continuous development of weapons, training of soldiers, and improvement of the general's ability to lead troops in combat.

However, the training of soldiers and the general's ability to lead troops will all change due to the development of weapons. For example, the special forces trained by the general are a group of special soldiers trained with weapons such as machine crossbows, continuous crossbows, and light crossbows.

Not only can they use these weapons to shoot and kill the enemy in a large area, but they can also do one against ten in close combat. Otherwise, the enemy will use the crowd tactics to shoot all our arrows, then we are not destined to be slaughtered.So in the end it is still people-oriented, all weapons are auxiliary products, Uncle Hou, don't put the cart before the horse. "

Hou Junji and Tuqi father and son couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard the words, they agreed with Wang Ping'an's words very much.

Tu Qi sighed and said: "There is a saying in your Tang Dynasty, which is called listening to the king's words is better than reading ten years of books."

"The leader of Tuqi is absurd." Wang Pingan said modestly.

Although Hou Junji thought Wang Ping'an's words were very reasonable, he had some reservations, but he was more concerned about the war now.

So he said: "What about the battle ahead, let them be surrounded by the people of the Kipchak tribe? And we don't do anything."

Wang Pingan nodded and said: "That's true. As the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, it's time to test them. If they win, the special forces will be famous all over the world. If they lose, it means that my training is not enough. Training must be strengthened."

"Okay, let's just wait and see what happens." Hou Junji said so, feeling sorry for the thousand special forces in his heart. They are truly elite soldiers, and losing one of them is no small matter.

At this time, Wang Pingan looked towards the direction where the people gathered, looking for a figure among them, and finally he saw it. At this time, the two looked at each other, smiled and nodded at each other.This person is Tie Mu, Tie Ping's mother.

Wang Pingan saw the trust in herself from the eyes of the other party, and at the same time saw the tension in her heart. Her hands were holding the clothes vigorously.

On the battlefield, Tie Ping and Zhao Hao quickly caught up with the fleeing soldiers, and rushed all the way. The defeated remnants of more than 1000 soldiers lost hundreds of people in one rush. Hundreds of people.

Except for the hundreds of people who fled to the front and failed to catch up, the other soldiers were either killed or severely injured and lost their combat effectiveness.

The hundreds of Turkic soldiers who ran in the front saw a group of cavalry galloping in front of them. They thought they were dead, so they all stood still and saw the horse's head getting closer and closer to them. , When he was about to hit the wall himself, he quickly closed his eyes.

However, those fleeing soldiers could not feel the feeling of being knocked into the air after waiting for a long time. They could only hear the sound of horseshoes in their ears, the unique shouts of the cavalry in their own troops, and the burst of noise caused by the horses running past them. a breeze.

This made them open their eyes happily. This is their cavalry, and the soldiers who are still alive also cheered. They wanted to step forward to help, but found that the cavalry was very far away from them.

One of the Turkic soldiers said excitedly: "It's General Bahu. General Bahu has gone to avenge us. Brothers, follow General Bahu and kill that hateful Tang army."

The other Turkic soldiers who were fleeing stopped when they heard the shouts, and instead of retreating, they followed Bahu's figure and chased after them.

On the other side, Tie Ping and Zhao Hao have been chasing and killing the fleeing soldiers, but they did not take it lightly, thanks to the usual high-level training.They saw a large number of Turkic cavalry rushing towards them.

The two glanced at each other, and then glanced at the Turkic cavalry rushing towards them. The corners of their mouths couldn't help but sneered, and then they shouted: "Left (right) vanguard, prepare the crossbow. After shooting the bow and arrow, give me Go ahead and kill them all."

A thousand special forces drew out their crossbows again, and the remaining two crossbow arrows exuded icy cold, ready to shoot at the Turkic cavalry at any time.

Under the orders of Zhao Hao and Tieping, the left and right vanguard troops assembled quickly, put away the Tang swords, and prepared crossbow arrows. When the Turkic cavalry came within range, they shot all the arrows at them. .

"put!!!"

With one order, all the thousand crossbow arrows were shot at Bahu's five thousand cavalry.

Bahu led [-] cavalry to attack [-] special forces, which made him very unconvinced. He was the number one Turkic warrior, with great strength. He once defeated a hundred soldiers of the Tang Dynasty by himself.

Now facing a mere thousand Tang troops, they are going to dispatch [-] Turkic cavalry, which is a naked slap in the face.He was unhappy, so he rushed towards the special forces desperately.

But what I didn't expect was that before they got close to the special forces, they received a gift from the special forces, and a thousand crossbow arrows flew through the air.

Bahu saw a crossbow arrow flying towards him, so he stopped moving forward, swung the purple gold hammer, and blocked all the flying crossbow arrows.

At the same time, he reminded loudly: "Brothers, be careful of Tang Jun's crossbow arrows!"

The other Turkic cavalry also stopped advancing, and took up their scimitars to block the flying crossbow arrows.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"Ding ding ding..."

Immediately, there was a series of screams, and the sound of the metal collision of the arrow hitting the machete continued, which disrupted the Turkic cavalry's position.

After the first arrow was shot, Zhao Hao found that the Turkic cavalry were in disarray, and he had an idea in his mind, and said to Tie Ping, "Tie Ping, did you notice that they are in disarray."

Tie Ping stared at the front and nodded, "That's right."

"I have an idea. Let's give all the arrows to one hundred of the special forces, and the rest will rush over and kill them all while they are in chaos," Tie Pingan said.

"Okay, that's what we'll do." Tie Pingan readily agreed.

After the two reached a consensus, they ordered the special forces to hand over all the arrows to the people in the last row, and the rest followed them to kill.

On the other side, Bahu saw that the 600 cavalry led by him had lost [-] people because of a burst of crossbow shots from the special forces, which made him feel a great shame.

For this reason, he gritted his teeth and said: "Brothers, reorganize the formation and let me kill you!"

"Kill..."

Unexpectedly, just after the roar, the special forces on the opposite side started shooting again, and the crossbow arrows flew over again, causing the formation that had just been reorganized to be disrupted again.

Bahu was half-dead on the spot, but he had nothing to do with the crossbow arrows that shot over one after another. If you didn't block them, they would hit your important parts and cause you to lose combat effectiveness or even die.

But Bahu never thought that his cavalry could not move forward because of the crossbow arrows, and the formation was disrupted, but he never thought that the opponent would charge over first.
