Chapter 58: Don't Cry When You Don't See the Coffin (Three Watches)

Guo Xiaoke's legs clamped the horse's belly, moving his wrists, and making final preparations. Ashina Simo looked at Guo Xiaoke provocatively, and said in a slightly weird tone: "Get off the horse and surrender, I, leave you with your life, even if there is no arrow, it will be easy to shoot you." Surrender, it's not easy for your mother to raise you so big......"

When Guo Xiaoke heard this, he was very angry, his forehead was bulging, and the blood vessels in his neck began to burst, but when Guo Xiaoke's face turned from red to black, the red tide on his face slowly receded.

Although he didn't say a word, Chen Ying also saw that Guo Xiaoke figured out that Ashina Simo was deliberately agitating him at a critical moment.

Chen Ying smiled faintly: "It's a little interesting!" ”

"This Guo Xiaoke should let him suffer a little, there is no one in the eyes of the young man, so how can he do it!" The smile on Duan Zhigan's face was quickly fixed on his face.

Guo Xiaoke is also a smart person, he looked at the soldiers from Hebei around him and cheered him on, shouting to kill him...... The atmosphere in the barracks was warm and high-spirited, and Guo Xiaoke especially liked this feeling of being in the limelight.

At this moment, Chen Ying waved his hand.

The thick and majestic war drums sounded.

Ashina Simo and Guo Xiaoke almost at the same time, took off the strong bow, drew the arrow, and wound the arrow, all in one go. The two of them rushed straight towards each other.

"Woohoo!"

"Woo Woo Woo Woo" ......

Almost within ten breaths, the sound of bowstring vibrations rang out. Guo Xiaoke shot nine arrows in an instant, a group of three arrows, and flew towards Ashina Simo in a zigzag.

Ashina Simo naturally returned the color, and within ten breaths, Ashina Simo also returned nine arrows.

However, Ashina Simo shot Guo Xiaoke's body, but Guo Xiaoke shot the war horse that Ashina Simo stepped on.

When Ashina Simo saw this scene, he was so angry that the war horse was different, and no matter how spiritual the war horse was, it was still a beast. It is instinct for animals to seek advantage and avoid harm. Seeing the nine arrows flying towards the front chest and eyes of the war horse, the war horse naturally moved and dodged, without the slightest scruple about the master of Ashina Simo.

Therefore, those who are proficient in riding skills such as Ashina Simo must not put away their bows and arrows and hold the horse's neck tightly with both hands, otherwise Ashina Simo will be thrown out by the war horse.

If you lose your horse, Ashnasimo loses.

Guo Xiaoke was close to the side of the war horse, hiding in an unusually beautiful stirrup, avoiding the six arrows in front of the shooting, and the three arrows in the back were shot in a hanging way, it was obvious that Ashina Simo had already expected that Guo Xiaoke would hide in the stirrup to avoid the arrows, so this kind of hanging shooting is to take a parabolic shooting method and shoot from top to bottom.

The bow arm of the iron tire bow flew up in Guo Xiaoke's heavy drinking, slashing obliquely on the flying feather arrows, two arrows fell into the dust, and the third slightly slower feather arrow stabbed heavily on Guo Xiaoke's arm shield iron armor, and after making a crisp sound, it fell into the dust......

At the same time, Guo Xiaoke's iron-tired bow was in his hand, and he slowly pulled the bowstring, and three feathered arrows rested on the rattling bowstring.

Then the three arrows flew to Ashina Simo who was scrambling on horseback.

Ashina Simo had no choice but to follow Guo Xiaoke's example, stretch out his arm shield, knock two of the arrows, as for the third arrow, he could only use the breastplate on his chest to connect it, fortunately, this was an arrow without an arrow, however, the huge concussion made Ashina Simo's chest hot, his throat and eyes were sweet, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

Ashina Simo roared like a wounded beast and raised his bow again, but it was a pity that Guo Xiaoke took the lead, and the last three arrows were in the direction of a line of beads, and they approached Ashina Simo's horse.

Duan Zhigan was dumbfounded, he really didn't think that it would be such a result, Ashina Simo's archery skills are clear to him, in terms of fist and foot kung fu, he is indeed inferior to Luo Shixin, but in the bow and archery on horseback, even Zhang Shigui is three points weaker.

It can be said that Ashina Simo is the first person to ride and shoot under Chen Ying, looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, Ashina Simo can also properly rank in the top ten, but Ashina Simo who ranked in the top ten actually lost so much.

Ashnasimo fell to the ground in frustration and did not get up for a long time. It wasn't a fall, but this result made Ashina Simo very frustrated.

After a long time, Ashina Simo walked in front of Chen Ying, knelt on the ground, and howled and cried, this eight-foot-tall man cried like a child.

Chen Ying patted Ashina Simo on the shoulder and said, "Do you know where you lost?" ”

Ashina Simo stretched out his hand and pointed at Guo Xiaoke and shouted: "He is despicable and shameless......"

"Hey......" Chen Ying sighed and said: "Profit is to listen, it is a momentum, to support it." The powerful are also controlled by profit. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Therefore, it can be shown but cannot be used, it is not used to show it, it is near and it is far away, and it is far away and it is shown to be near. Profit and temptation, chaos and take, real and prepared, strong and avoid, angry and scratch, humble and arrogant, hard work, kiss and leave, attack its unpreparedness, surprise. ”

Ashnasimo said confusedly, "Lord, what does this mean?" ”

Chen Ying pointed at Duan Zhi and said, "Let General Duan explain it to you!" ”

Chen Ying looked at Guo Xiaoke with interest and said with a smile: "You are very good, the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the two armies win against the wise, brave and strategic, very good!" ”

Guo Xiaoke was a little embarrassed and said: "The last general is just a trick!" ”

"Brute force is the brute force!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "When you can win a war with wisdom, don't use brute force, work hard, and make meritorious contributions, just now!" ”

It's just a small episode, of course. Guo Xiaoke, as the first person in the whole army to rely on his personal martial arts, successfully promoted from a small soldier to 12 levels in just one day, which also greatly boosted the morale of the whole army.

It's just that Chen Ying's training method is definitely the most pitiful training method in the world, and there is no one.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the wake-up call sounded in Ulaula. However, it was a whole team, fully armed for twenty miles off-road.

Although this amount of training is large, it is also said to the officers and men of the Hebei Army that their physical fitness is good, and almost all of them have completed the training tasks. But before Guo Xiaoke could sit firmly in the chair of the commander of the folded Chong, trouble finally came.

"Turn left!"

"Turn right!"

"Turn back!"

"Stand still – go!"

"Remember the key to military posture: tuck your abdomen, hold your chest up, put your fingers together on the outside of your thighs, don't squint, don't make yourself like a hunchbacked old woman, and show some of the spirit of being a soldier!"

The three steps turn in all directions, squatting and standing up, this is the beginning of a month-long military training for middle school students in later generations, Guo Xiaoke hated it and made him dizzy.

As the lieutenant of Zhichong, Guo Xiaoke had to train with the soldiers of the whole house, he couldn't even tell the difference between left and right, he always made mistakes, and the officer was so angry that he stepped on his toe: "Does it hurt?" Knowing that the pain is healed, the foot that hurts is the right foot, and the one that doesn't hurt is only the left foot, tell you to turn right to the side that hurts, and tell you to turn left to the side that doesn't hurt! ”

He always makes mistakes when he is standing in line, he is out of the left foot, he is out of the right foot, he is out of the left foot, he is out of the left foot, walking and walking is not to the front of the queue but to the back, out of the foreign appearance;

As for the military posture...... He remembered that his scalp was numb, and the whole person was nailed there like a javelin, and he stood for four quarters or even half an hour, without an order, not a single little finger could move, and the evil instructor specially took them to the grass to stand in a military posture, and mosquitoes and gadflies fell on their faces and necks, greedily sucking their blood, itching so much that they couldn't move, and it felt much better not to be tortured, and the instructor looked at his bitter gourd face, with a look of triumph that the conspiracy had succeeded.

Not only Guo Xiaoke, but even the soldiers of the whole army all complained bitterly and complained. But there is no way, Duan Zhigan's time is limited, he must train the whole army within ten days, otherwise he will not be able to eat and walk around.

"Woo ......"

It was dawn, and the wake-up call sounded, which made the officers and men of the whole army hate.

These new army officers and soldiers scolded, cursed, and got up one after another, they are about to start a crazy training for six hours a day, don't look at the simple three steps to turn on all sides and squat down and stand up, this simple military action, so that these new army officers and soldiers even have the heart to die.

……

Liangzhou City, which could not be attacked for a long time, made the Tongye Hu Khan anxious, as long as the hundreds of thousands of troops stayed here for one more day, the amount of grain and silver consumed was a huge number.

Just last night, he saw the appearance of ice slag on the stable outside the tent, although there is no thermometer in this era, with the habit and experience, Tong Ye Hu also knows that the snow is coming.

If Liangzhou City is not taken, and there is no capture in Liangzhou City, this battle will be lost.

Tong Lifa (Turkic, roughly equivalent to the governor) Batur sighed and said: "I am unwilling, if I return to Yiwu (now Hami) like this, it will only make Ashina laugh. ”

Tong Ye Hu Khan slammed his fist on the table and said, "Damn Tang people, why haven't you come to negotiate peace?" ”

Originally, Tong Ye Hu was the main force of the western attack on the Khorasan region of the Sassanid Empire, and since the Sassanid Empire's main energy was to deal with the Byzantine Empire, Tong Ye Hu took advantage of a lot. However, this situation changed radically with the last year (the second year of Wude), and the Sassanid army under the leadership of Shahrbaraz was invincible, Jerusalem and Alexandria fell to the Sassanid Empire. At this time, the population and territory of the Sassanid Empire reached its peak, and with Shahr Balaz leading the Sassanid Empire's 200,000 cavalry troops eastward, it fought with the Western Turks in Khorasan.

The Western Turkic Emperor Yehu suffered a very big defeat, losing a large number of troops and territory, as well as millions of vassal troops defecting, and it can be said that this battle laid the foundation for the defeat of the Western Turks.

The defeat in the battle on the Western Front put Tong Yehu in an embarrassing situation, and in this situation, Jieli Khan united with him and prepared to attack the Tang Dynasty.

After preliminary investigation, Tong Yehu knew part of the information of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was now competing with Wang Shichong for the Central Plains, and there was no time for him to take care of it, once he came to the city of Liangzhou, the Tang Dynasty would definitely humbly sue for peace, and he could take the opportunity to extort money and food from Li Tang to make up for his losses in the war on the Western Front.

However, what the Khan didn't expect was that the Li Tang court was more tenacious than he imagined, and the city of Liangzhou was besieged for nearly two months, even if the messenger was climbing, he should have climbed to Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Tong Yehu Khan said indignantly: "The Tang people don't cry when they don't see the coffin, our offensive must be strengthened!" ”

Batur pointed to Liangzhou City and said: "Liangzhou City is high and deep, the people are condescending, and the Tang people are good at shooting and defending, so it is difficult to break through here." ”

Tong Ye Hu smiled: "There is always a way, use Greek fire." ”

Batur frowned and said, "Greek fire? We have already tried, but now the whirlwind is too strong, and the smoke will only drift over the walls, and we have been burning for three days, and the effect is not good, the enemy has not burned much, but we have wounded many soldiers. ”

Tong Ye said: "Give those Byzantines a death order, if you are not afraid of Liangzhou City to beat down Ben Khan, I will use them as stone bullets and smash them into Liangzhou City!" ”
