Chapter 107 Defeat Jie Li (1)
A heavy snow fell silently at night. Since the Tang army did not keep it confidential, the Liang army quickly asked for help from the Turkic Khan.
Even the shadow of Liang Shidu was found in the last Bianqiao Alliance. However, since the last Jieli Alliance, the Tang Dynasty has been booming, while Jieli has gradually declined. There are constant internal disputes among the Turks. However, Jieli does not want to abandon the Liang Shidu pawn, so he naturally needs to support him. I don’t know which great god Jieli has messed with. Whether in history or this time, it has been heavy snow, causing their sheep and horses to freeze to death.
"Report to the general, twenty miles ahead there were more than 10,000 Turkic troops, and more than 20,000 auxiliary troops were about to retreat. According to Beizhi's observation, it was because their horses and the sheep they ate were frozen to death by the heavy snow. Beizhi took a risk and observed it. Now they have fewer than half of the horses they rode, their speed has dropped by more than half, and their personnel are in poor condition and have no desire to fight. Also, this is a twenty miles ahead and some maps that have been viewed from a distance by the enemy's barracks."
Yang Heng's scout training during this period was not in vain. If these scouts had known that the other party's army was retreating and that there were general targets and routes on the road, now they were much more detailed, such as dangerous sections on the road, fast marching sections, where to stay, some local land and even some firewood that were buried in pots and made rice were marked. In this way, the marching chief manager could formulate marching and camping matters in advance based on this map and the speed of his team's marching.
Also, the situation of the enemy, was there some people coming out to ambush, or was the reason that the army retreated? The current judgment is that some horses and sheep are frozen to death, the remaining horses, the number of personnel in the team, and the mental state, which directly allows the general to judge how this enemy army should fight based on its current state. How convenient is it, but for the scouts, it only slightly increases some risks.
"Okay, okay, continue to investigate. Come and ask the officers above the brigade commander of the entire battalion to arrange the task. The chefs immediately went forward for five miles to make rice, and then took down the enemy camp in one go." Chai Shao's heroic spirit also came up. With such detailed information, if hesitated, it would be a joke.
"General, then we." The father stood up and asked with his hands. "You, let's act with the scouts in front. On the premise of ensuring the safety of the scouts, and after the army contacted the enemy, I allow you to participate in the battle."
"Yes, General, I'll take the order from me." That, my father had never learned to sing opera, Yang Heng also bowed behind his father and ran out of the military camp with him.
"Little ones, let's go." Well, at this time, the guards had been waiting outside. As soon as the brigade commander arrived at the tent, they judged that they would fight soon, because the scouts had already discovered traces of the Turks yesterday, and it was still far away. However, they knew that they were coming here, but this heavy snow actually made the Turks look dirty. Even the Tang army was full of anger and had no place to let go. This heavy snow not only hindered the Turks' actions, but also damaged the Tang army's actions. Fortunately, the Tang army now popularized horseshoes. They were no longer worried about the bad roads under the snow, which hurt the horses' hooves. Due to Yang Heng's reminder, many days ago, they added some insulation measures to all the horses, so that a horse was not frozen to death by a great cold.
"Abide by the general's orders," the guards bowed and then jumped onto the horse. Dad and Yang Heng also rode on their horses led by the guards, holding the reins, kicking the horse's belly with both feet, and the horse trotted and started.
"Hurry, give us a few bowls of rice first. We have a task." Naturally, these kids also knew their fathers and others. Without any hesitation, they brought some of the meals they had prepared first. Dad, Yang Heng and the guards finished their meal on the horse's back, then stuffed the bowl into the kid's hand, ran out, stirring up a wave of snowflakes.
"Look, this is the real strong army." The chefs sighed and looked at the cavalry in front of them, even a little envious.
You should know that these are all guards trained by my father. Even the steps of their horses are all the same, or even the legs are all the same. It can be seen that my father is cruel. Although these movements are demonstrated by Yang Heng first, the only disharmonious one is Yang Heng. In order not to affect their unity, Yang Heng is at the end of the team, which just doesn't affect the rhythm of the marching in front.
"Report to the general, there are a large group of enemy troops in front of them. Look, there are many horses and cattle and sheep dead there." When the team was moving forward, a scout suddenly rushed out of the side and stopped the father and others from moving forward. "Let's go, let's go from the side to the enemy, and leave a few necessary scouts when fighting, and the others will go to fight with me."
The father waved his hand and decided on the tasks of these scouts. "Oh, thank you General." The scouts were happy. It was not that there was no war, but that they were fighting with the other scouts, which was not satisfied and not safe. Sometimes, even the entire scout team was destroyed. Now that they had the opportunity to act with the army, they were naturally happy.
