Chapter 57 Anxi Great Protector Guo Xiaoke

However, happy times are always very short-lived. Just when Li Daozhen was thinking about it, a rush of footsteps came. Zhou Qing announced outside the house: "General, Liangzhou is urgent!" ”

Chen Ying was also immersed in the joy of father and son, and was slightly displeased when he was interrupted by Zhou Qing, Chen Ying frowned slightly, and said dishappily: "Didn't you tell you not to disturb me?" ”

Zhou Qing Qi Ai Ai said: "Lord, the matter is urgent! ”

Zhou Qing pushed the door in.

Chen Ying glared at Zhou Qing fiercely, and Zhou Qing was terrified.

Chen Ying said: "What is the matter until my son finishes eating!" ”

Zhou Qing's head shrank, so he had to withdraw from the house and wait.

Li Daozhen said: "It's important to get down to business, I'll feed my son!" ”

Chen Ying handed the bowl of egg custard to Li Daozhen and said, "That's fine!" ”

But as soon as Chen Ying left Xiao Li Siye's sight, Li Siye opened his mouth and cried.

Chen Ying looked at this scene, he was simply dumbfounded, could this be the legendary blood connection?

However, Chen Ying took the urgent report and stood in front of Li Siye.

Li Siye was no longer distressed, but quietly ate egg custard.

Chen Ying opened the emergency report and looked at ten lines.

His face gradually turned a little cold.

Li Daozhen felt something strange and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Ying sighed and said, "It's all evolving!" ”

"Everything is evolving?"

Chen Ying's heart was full of sourness at this time, it had been more than three years since he came to Datang, and he seemed to have forgotten. He relied on his foresight, not to mention the rumors, at least beyond the reach of mortals. Now that he is a general of the town army from the second grade, even Chen Ying himself is a little floating.

However, Chen Ying did not expect that the Western Turks had actually learned to use ballistas.

The ballista is different from the trebuchet, the ballista was invented by the Greek Dionysus using mechanical research, that is, the use of two bundles of tensioned horsehair, leather rope or animal tendons generated by the torsion as a power to drive the crossbow arm to drive the bowstring to throw projectiles or arrows.

The Greek-designed ballista had a sturdy bracket on which the main beam rested on it, and its front end was flanked by two torsion spring sets, each of which drove a crossbow arm with a bowstring attached to the end of which was a braided mesh bag for the projectile. Balistas are powerful, and a well-performing ballista is capable of throwing 1 tarrant (an ancient Greek unit of weight, about 26 kilograms) of stone projectiles 300 yards (1 yard = 0.9144 meters) away.

Although the power of the ballista is a little less powerful than that of a heavy trebuchet like the Thirteen Pins. However, it is undeniable that the Western Turks have this kind of ballista in their hands, which is the biggest threat to Liangzhou City.

Originally, the Western Turks, who had no siege equipment, had no way to deal with the tall and strong Liangzhou City, but as the war progressed, a group of thousands of blonde and blue-eyed slaves appeared in the Western Turkic army.

The dozens of casualties were not too serious, but they dealt a fatal blow to the morale of the defenders of Liangzhou.

Chen Ying also knows that war has always been the main source of power for promoting human scientific and technological progress. Because the Greeks had to face the attack of the Carthaginians, they had to invent the ballista, and later the Roman Empire incorporated the whole of Greece into the territory, and this foreign ballista became a fuel for the expansion of the Roman Empire. The Romans improved the ballista to make it more powerful, with their giant ballistas being able to crush enemies up to 400 meters away, and firing spears that could pin two or three enemies in a dense formation to the ground.

In addition to this, the accuracy of the ballistas is also breathtaking, they can even hit the same spot repeatedly, and there have been records of ballistas firing spears that split the spears that had already hit in front of them into two pieces.

Chen Ying couldn't be calmer anymore. At this time, he was in Lingzhou, nearly a thousand miles away from Liangzhou City, once Li Daozong could not support it, and the Western Turks conquered Liangzhou City, then the problem would be serious.

Time is running out, think of this. Chen Ying reluctantly looked at the well-fed little Li Siye, looked at Li Daozhen and said, "I'm going to the Wild Boar Ridge Barracks, I'll come back in the evening!" ”

Li Daozhen looked at Liangzhou in a hurry, and was also a little anxious in his heart, and asked, "There is no problem with the eldest brother, right?" ”

"You have to believe him, this little scene can't stop him!" Chen Ying gently kissed Li Daozhen's forehead and turned to walk out of the city.

At this time, the hard days of those soldiers from Hebei finally came.

When Chen Ying arrived at the Wild Boar Ridge camp, it was already noon. The soldiers lined up to eat, and some began to wash in front of the pool after eating.

Duan Zhigan, who was in charge of reorganizing the training of the new army, greeted Chen Ying with a burst of attachés.

"I'm waiting to meet General Chen, General Chen is mighty!"

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "How is it, what is the quality of this batch of soldiers?" ”

Hearing this, Duan Zhigan said with emotion: "It's really good, although it looks thinner than the soldiers in Guanzhong, but in the end, it is Yan Zhao Nan'er, the foundation is there, as long as you give the last general three months, I will return you an elite soldier, not weaker than the elite soldiers of the Dingyuan army!" ”

"Three months!" Chen Ying shook his head and said: "The plan needs to change, I don't have three months for you, anyway, these soldiers have the basics, give you ten days, let them get familiar with our military discipline and drills, and then they will be pulled out to fight." ”

"Ten days?" Duan Zhi was embarrassed and said, "Could it be too little?" ”

"Quite a few!" Chen Ying pointed at these soldiers and said, "If it is a group of peasants who have never seen blood, ten days of training is obviously not enough. However, they are not ordinary people, they all follow Dou Jiande, from Hebei to Shandong, from Shandong to Henan, the worst have also seen blood, not to mention, now the situation in Liangzhou is not good, the Western Turks have siege equipment, although these weapons are not enough to collapse Liangzhou City, but this general cannot gamble with the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. The most troublesome thing is that the Western Turks seem to have a tendency to increase their troops, they kill people and steal goods, rob homes and houses, and do all kinds of evil, the general is very worried about this, besides, good soldiers are all beaten, no matter how hard the soldiers who have not seen blood are trained, they are not as good as the veterans, I don't want to spend so much money, and finally raise a bunch of soldiers who can't see blood! ”

Duan Cheng sighed and said, "Let them go to the battlefield in ten days, and many people will die!" ”

"It's not so fast, it's almost thousands of miles from Lingzhou to Liangzhou!" Chen Ying pointed to these soldiers who did not squint and began to walk in line and said: "We arrived in Liangzhou from Lingzhou, I will give you twenty days to march, you can train while marching, so that when they arrive in Liangzhou, they should train for a month, almost!" ”

Duan Zhi said: "The last general understands! ”

Chen Ying asked again: "By the way, are there any good seedlings among these soldiers from Hebei?" ”

"Good seedlings?" Duan Zhigan hesitated and said: "If you want to talk about good seedlings, there are really a few, one of them is called Guo Xiaoke, that guy is a thorn in the head, and he has challenged his team leader, team leader, brigade commander, school captain, Guo Yi lieutenant, and Lieutenant Zhichong in one day, there is nothing to say, whether it is bow and arrow, or equestrian, they are all quite good, but they are a little thorny!" ”

"Thorns are good, General Ben likes thorns the most!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "We are the army, not a group of good babies, the army has no blood, no temper, how can it be?" Whoever ...... Outer part...... What the? ”

"Guo Xiaoke!"

"Who?" Chen Ying said in surprise: "Guo Xiaoke? ”

Duan Zhi said suspiciously: "The general has heard his name?" ”

"No ......" Chen Ying's words must have been insincere. In fact, he is not an expert in history, and he is not all clear, the famous generals of the Sui and Tang dynasties are more famous than Guo Xiaoke compared to Cheng Zhijie, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Luo Shixin, and even Luo Yi.

Chen Ying knew Guo Xiaoke's name, mainly when he went to Beiting (that is, the Northern Xiongnu Shan Yu Wangting, now in Jimusar County, Changji, Xinjiang) to play, he had seen Guo Xiaoke's stone statue, and knew that he was the second Dadu Protector of the Tang Dynasty's Western Regions, and he also died in office and died in battle.

Chen Ying never thought that the future Dadu Hu would actually run into his army as a small soldier. You must know that most of the Anxi Protectorate was at the level of the second grade in the Tang Dynasty, and he was in charge of the surrounding peoples' "comfort, requisition, meritorious service, and punishment matters, all of which were under its control." ”

In fact, the Anxi Metropolitan Protector is the real King of Anxi, the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has jurisdiction over four towns and seventy-nine military prefectures, and when it was at its strongest, the area was almost more than five million square kilometers, but due to the vast land and sparse population, the actual population under its jurisdiction was not much.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Bring Guo Xiaoke over and let me see!" ”

Duan Zhigan immediately ordered a personal soldier to go to the barracks to find Guo Xiaoke.

It didn't take long for Guo Xiaoke to come to Chen Ying under the leadership of his own soldiers. Chen Ying looked at this Guo Xiaoke, and saw that he was seven feet five inches tall, slightly shorter than Chen Ying, but much stronger than Chen Ying, and the muscles on his body bulged, as if they were about to break the uniform on his body.

When Guo Xiaoke looked at Chen Ying, he was both excited and apprehensive. Excitedly, he could finally meet the military god of Datang. Among all the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, there are many people who have not seen Chen Ying, but there are almost no who have not heard of Chen Ying's name.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks, like the early Han Dynasty, were a big mountain suppressed on all the Central Plains, but since Chen Ying debuted, he was beaten up when he saw the Turks, and the Turks now doubt their lives. Win every battle, this is the label on Chen Ying's body, the key is that Chen Ying also made countless veterans lose face, compared with Chen Ying, these veterans, these half a hundred years old, have lived to dogs.

Guo Xiaoke's heart is also very worried, because he is too sharp, one day, in fact, half a day, in just two hours, six consecutive games, below the rank of captain, compared to fists and feet, he Guo Xiaoke won easily, effortlessly.

But when it came to the level of Deputy Lieutenant Guo Yi and Lieutenant Zhichong, he not only had to compete with his fists and feet, but also had to compare archery and marching formations, although he also won, but he swept the face of countless people. Guo Xiaoke was worried that Chen Ying would not trouble him.

Guo Xiaoke didn't dare to slack off, and saluted respectfully: "Humble Guo Xiaoke, see the general!" ”

Chen Ying smiled faintly, looked down at Guo Xiaoke, and pinched his muscles with his hands, and tossed for a long time before nodding: "It's a good material...... Seen blood before? ”

Guo Xiaoke said: "General Hui, yes." In the past, he followed Mi Gong in Wagang and killed a lot of people, not a hundred, but at least eighty. ”

When Chen Ying heard this, he smiled slightly: "So you are a hundred people?" Didn't brag? ”

Guo Xiaoke said: "I didn't brag, I killed fifty or sixty people with arrows, and twenty or thirty people were killed with knives, I didn't count carefully, anyway, outside the battlefield, I didn't kill anyone." ”

Hearing that Guo Xiaoke actually shot fifty or sixty people, Ashina Simo said unhappily: "Bragging, right? Do you think you have three heads and six arms? ”

Chen Ying smiled slightly and said, "Is it true or not, I don't know if I try it?" ”

"Try it, how is the general going to try?" Guo Xiaoke asked with a look of hope.

Chen Ying stretched out his hand and pointed at Ashina Simo who was about to move: "Each of you has a horse and a pot of arrows, first remove the arrows, dip the arrows in white paint, two pairs of five hundred steps, attack at the same time, who is high and who is low, isn't it clear at a glance?" ”

Although the arrows with the arrows removed will definitely not be able to penetrate the armor, but because the bows used by the two are hard bows, once they hit the face or throat, they can also be wounded or killed.

However, the two of them agreed with Chen Ying's opinion very much, and Ashina Simo quickly dismantled the arrow and dipped the arrow into the white paint.

Guo Xiaoke also held an iron-tired bow, with an arrow pot on his back, and turned over on his horse.

Two people and two horses, slowly retreated.

As soon as everyone saw that Guo Xiaoke was going to compete with General Chen's personal army, they immediately gathered around the side to watch this dragon and tiger fight.
