You must know that there are not many heavy cavalry in Datang at present, there are 1,000 people in the Right Shence Army, and the Left and Right Tiance Army and the Left Yulin Army are also building, but the number is limited to 1,000 people.

Do heavy cavalry work?

Useful, this is useful when the enemy army has a large number of infantry and the enemy also has heavy cavalry.

Strictly speaking, the cavalry of the Tang Forbidden Army can be regarded as heavy cavalry, of course, according to the standards of foreigners.

According to foreign standards, both the armored cavalry and the armored cavalry are considered heavy cavalry.

But within the Tang Army, it is not called so, as long as the horse does not wear armor, it is considered light cavalry.

The use of heavy cavalry in the Tang Dynasty was divided into three periods.

In the early Tang Dynasty, heavy cavalry was prevalent;

Later, in order to deal with the Turks, they found that the mounted cavalry was too slow to deal with the Turkic light cavalry that came and went like the wind, so they no longer put armor on the horses, sacrificing defense in exchange for speed. But it is indeed very useful, and the Great Breaking Turkic cavalry is such a cavalry;

After the Anshi Rebellion, the enemies of the Tang Dynasty became the envoys of various sections and Tubo, Khitan, and Xue Yantuo, all of which had a large number of infantry teams, and the heavy cavalry had a great use.

That's why Li Ye formed heavy cavalry in several forbidden armies, but the number was not much.

At present, the intelligence ability of the Jinyi Guards in Hexi is not strong, and the Ganzhou Uighurs rarely interact with the Tang Dynasty, so they cannot even place people in the Jinyi Guards, so they naturally do not know that the Ganzhou Uighurs have 3,000 heavy cavalry.

And for this news, the Guiyi Army obviously didn't know either.

Because this heavy cavalry was built after Yaoluo Ge Renmei served as Khan, it has never been announced to the public, nor has it participated in the conflict with the Guiyi Army, so the Guiyi Army naturally does not know.

As for the cost of 3,000 mounted heavy cavalry, there is naturally no need to worry, the Ganzhou Uighurs sit on the largest pasture in Hexi, and with the accumulation of these decades, it is not very difficult to build a 3,000-strong mounted heavy cavalry.

。。。。。。

There are three ways to go from the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion to Daying Caotan.

The easternmost road, the most dangerous, but the most hidden, follows the valley to Stone Town, a lower town with two hundred soldiers stationed there. After the stone town, you pass through a narrow valley and enter the relatively flat area, although there are some tribes along the way, but they are all small tribes. And this road can break directly behind the grass beach of Daying.

The middle road is also along a river valley, the road is much easier to walk than walking in the stone town, and you can also go around the back of the grass beach in Daying, but you have to take a detour.

The westernmost route is the best, but it is also the least safe, because it is already a gathering area for the Uighurs of Ganzhou, and if you want to get to the grass beach of Damaying, you have to kill them from many Uighur tribes.

Liu Kui naturally won't choose the road that is too risky, Shicheng Town can be close to the Rokuya Division, although the Liugu Department has surrendered, but he said that he knows if he will take advantage of the fire to rob.

So Liu Kui chose the middle lane.

A falcon suddenly landed in a hidden valley, and if anyone entered the valley, they would find a large number of cavalry hidden here, and there were so many of them.

"Governor, Commander Jiang has arrived outside Ganzhou City."

Liu Kui took the letter, looked at the contents of the letter, and sneered, "The Uighurs did not attack the Uighurs in Ganzhou City, and it was clear that they wanted to defeat the reinforcements of the Guiyi army first. ”

"Send the order and set out at once, I would like to see if the Uighurs like this great gift we have given him."

"Yes!"

Soon the cavalry in this valley left the valley one after another, and the huge scale was enough to make the forces west of the river look sideways.

Unfortunately, at this time, the eyes of the Uighurs were on the side of the Guiyi army, and they did not know that the Tang army had begun to circle behind.

。。。。。。

Since Zhang Huaiding led his army to Fulu County, he did not continue to advance, except for the fear of premature engagement with the Uighurs, he also wanted to wait for a response from the imperial court.

Against the Uighur army alone, Zhang Huaiding had no bottom in his heart.

The Ganzhou Uighurs had taken root in Ganzhou for many years, but their strength became stronger and stronger, while the Guiyi army had declined in strength severely, indicating that the Ganzhou Uighurs were not so easy to deal with.

If the imperial court really sent troops, Zhang Huaiding would have confidence.

At the same time, he wished that the Uighurs would attack Ganzhou, and he knew better about the walls of Ganzhou. Although Ganzhou was no match for the Uighurs, the Uighurs had to break a few teeth if they wanted to take Ganzhou.

With the addition of the imperial army and the weakening of the Uighurs, the pressure on Zhang Huaiding's side will naturally be much less.

"Shoot the servant! The Uighur army was attacking Ganzhou, and the Ganzhou garrison suffered heavy casualties and asked for reinforcements. ”

The Uighurs were not limited to cavalry.

This time, Yao Luo Ge Renmei personally led an army of 50,000, including 35,000 cavalry, 15,000 infantry, and 6,000 elite guards.

Attacking Ganzhou is not the goal, the purpose of Yaoluo Ge Renmei is to severely damage the Guiyi army, and Ganzhou will naturally be theirs at that time.

"Ganzhou's important location is an indispensable city for us to connect with the imperial court, and we must not let it fall into the hands of the Uighurs, so the lower officials suggest that troops be sent to reinforce Ganzhou immediately." Suo Xun said anxiously.

"Servant shooting, the subordinate officer thinks that it is not appropriate to divide the army at this time, so as not to be broken by the Uighurs." Li Mingzhen retorted.

"Li Sima, do you want to see Ganzhou fall?" Suo Xun looked at Lee Myung-jin with some anger.

Because of the killing of Zhang Huaishen, the relationship between the two plummeted, and many things were-for-tat.

Seeing that the two began to argue again, Zhang Huaiding also had a headache.

"Okay, don't fight at this time. What Deputy Envoy Suo said is reasonable, and Ganzhou cannot afford to lose. Li Sima, you went with 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to reinforce it, and then you led the army to follow. ”

If the two don't continue to quarrel, Zhang Huaiding can only find a way to separate the two, as long as they can't see each other, they naturally can't quarrel.

Li Mingzhen wanted to persuade him not to divide his troops again, but Zhang Huaiding couldn't listen to it at all, so he could only give up and go with a large army to reinforce Ganzhou.

Before Li Mingzhen set off, Zhang Huaiding still called the other party to remind him twice, "Li Sima, a partial division of the imperial court is also outside the city of Ganzhou, if you arrive in Ganzhou City and are defeated by the Uighurs, you can seek to unite with the partial division of the imperial court." This will also be much less stressful on your side, so that you will not be entangled by the Uighurs. ”

"Don't worry, the lower officer understands!"

Seeing Zhang Huaiding's kind reminder, Li Mingzhen was also a little moved, it seems that the other party is not the kind of person who does not talk about friendship.

As for Zhang Huaishen's matter, since the other party is dead, let's forget it.

On the night when Li Mingzhen led the army to leave Fulu County, a carrier pigeon disappeared into the night.
