Chapter Seventy-Two: The Whole Army Collapses and Flees for Your Life

Chen Ying was very happy to change the military system, and he believed that a 1,500-strong Zhichong Mansion could be like a regiment in later generations, undertaking tactical tasks on the one hand. So he changed the 1,200 men and horses in the Tang Dynasty to 1,500 people.

Fortunately, the military system in the early Tang Dynasty was relatively chaotic, and no one really cared about Chen Ying. In this way, the regiment, which was originally 200 men, became 300 men. However, most of the other Tang armies took a regiment of 200 people, and now there are only a few armies led by Chen Ying's Xiao Cavalry Army, Modao Army and Beiwei Army, as well as the originally formed Dingyuan Army, and the left and right guards of the East Palace.

Su Dingfang is the captain of the Yue Cavalry Regiment under Chen Ying's personal guard, and this Yue Cavalry Regiment is not the same as the Hook and Sickle Lancer Regiment of the Xiao Cavalry Army. In fact, the Vietnamese cavalry under Chen Ying is the real light cavalry, to be precise, the hook and sickle cavalry is already a semi-heavy cavalry, and the difference between them and the heavy cavalry is only one equipped horse armor.

The Yue cavalry regiment under Su Dingfang's command was a full Yue cavalry regiment, equipped with 312 one-stone strong bows, 300 hard crossbows, and two pots of arrows, a total of 30 pieces. In addition, he was equipped with a saber, a folding shield, and four throwing axes per person. The most important thing is that unlike the Xiao cavalry, they are equipped with three war horses each.

There were only 312 cavalry, and 1,000 horses were equipped.

In a place about 150 miles southwest of Golden Beach, it is called 10,000 springs. In fact, here on the Silk Road out of the first supply point to the west of Liangzhou City. However, in later generations, when Chen Ying traveled to Wuwei, it had become a sand dune with yellow sand. After the tour guide's explanation, Chen Ying knew that this was once a wetland.

The vicissitudes of history, after Chen Ying arrived in Liangzhou, there was no doubt that he could defeat the Tongye Hu Khan, after all, the tactic of hook and sickle cavalry was the strongest cavalry in the era of cold weapons trained by him using Polish hussars. Even if Genghis Khan is brought to life, he can still beat them to cry and cry for their mother.

Tong Ye Hu was definitely not an opponent, but Chen Ying knew that it was easy to defeat Tong Ye Hu, but it was not easy to annihilate them completely, it could be said that it was very difficult. The place in Liangzhou is empty, and there are too many places to run.

However, this is a very crucial place, after 10,000 springs, you need to reach Zhangye's Camel City (Gaotai County) more than 300 miles away, in order to have a place to supply water. If there is no water reserve, if you want to travel more than 300 miles to the west of the river, it is no different from sending you to death.

Therefore, Chen Ying guessed that once the Tongye Hu or the Turks left Liangzhou to break through, the place of Ten Thousand Springs would definitely be a must-pass. When Zhang Huaiwei led the Modao Army to divide his troops, Chen Ying also ordered Su Dingfang to lead his Yue cavalry regiment and set up an ambush at Shiwan Spring first.

This place is an important supply point on the Silk Road, there is water to grow food, the Han Dynasty, also set up a tuntian area here, but also set up a garrison. However, time has passed, and when Su Dingfang arrived here, he found that the original military camp here had already become a pile of loess mounds, but it was about eight or nine feet higher than the ordinary ground.

However, in the past, in order to facilitate business, a wall and fence were made here. Traveling on the Silk Road, the danger factor is even greater than that of drug trafficking in later generations, and those who dare to travel long distances in this era are not a good person, they all do business when they can, and when they can't, they also make cameo robbers, and rob if they can.

In this water source, it is also frequented by sand thieves and bandits. In order to ensure their own safety, these business travelers built a stockade, which seemed to be full of gaps, but in fact there were traps everywhere. Just this seemingly dilapidated wall, if three hundred elites are stationed and there are no thousands of people, it will not be able to gnaw at all.

Su Dingfang's luck was good, when he came, there happened to be a caravan of more than 500 people in Shiwanquan. Su Dingfang didn't say a word, and directly let the dove occupy the magpie's nest and detain this Lite caravan, in order to prevent the Turks from discovering their isolated Tang army troops, Su Dingfang also turned into a Lite merchant from the Western Regions.

Anyway, in this era, three to five hundred people are the norm, and large-scale caravans are tens of thousands of people.

However, I waited a full day. I didn't even see the shadow of the Turks, this soldier of the Yue Cavalry Regiment couldn't help but complain a little, everyone knew that if he followed Chen Ying to fight, he would definitely eat a large piece of meat and be rewarded for his meritorious service, but with Su Dingfang, let alone eating meat, he didn't even catch the soup.

The deputy lieutenant was already in a hurry, and he asked Su Dingfang: "Captain Su, it's not a matter for us to wait like this, why don't I take a brigade and reconnoiter to the east, if General Zhang Huaiwei needs support, we can also help!" ”

"No!" Su Dingfang did not hesitate to reject the proposal of the deputy lieutenant. He is an obsessive person, and once he decides what he wants to do, he will absolutely carry it out to the end. In history, Li Jing asked him to lead 200 cavalry to raid Jieli Khan's royal account, at that time, Jieli Khan had more than 100,000 elite cavalry around him, let alone 200 people, even if there were 2,000 cavalry, I am afraid that ordinary people would not have the courage to do it.

However, Su Dingfang not only did it without complaint, but instead turned the East Turkic Khanate upside down with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

He wanted to make meritorious contributions, but he also wanted to save the lives of his brothers. Su Dingfang can now see that the Tang Dynasty has won a decisive victory on the northern battlefield, and the worst can be ruled by Liang Xiao. At this time, the days of peace are coming, and there is hope for good days.

The lieutenant's head is lively, and his mouth is about to wear out. Su Dingfang only had one sentence: "Where to go, just wait here for the Turks to come!" ”

The deputy lieutenant said, "What if the Western Turks don't come? ”

"General Chen said that the Western Turks will come here, and they will definitely come!" Su Dingfang said firmly: "I believe in General Chen!" ”

"Believe in General Chen!"

When the lieutenant heard this, he had nothing to say.

In fact, in the hearts of the officers and men in the army, Chen Ying has become an out-and-out military god of Datang. Whoever says bad things about Chen Ying or may question Chen Ying's decision, it will definitely be the public enemy of the soldiers.

The soldiers of the Yue cavalry could only pretend to be traders to avoid the scourge of war, and at the same time detain the merchants who passed along the way, while anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Turks here.

……

When it was about to get dark, the Western Turkic army outside Liangzhou City inevitably collapsed.

The Western Turkic army fled to the west in panic, throwing flags, armor, grain and grass, and blades to the ground, the wounded soldiers were abandoned on the side of the road and screaming in despair, and the horses that could not run were also abandoned, and the wounded soldiers stayed with the wounded soldiers and watched their masters disappear into the clouds of smoke and dust, and let out a mournful neigh.

This scene of defeat made everyone who survived this bloody battle suffer the shame of life worse than death for the rest of their lives, and they could not hold their heads up.

Since the Tumen Khan raised an army to resist Rouran, the Turkic iron cavalry from Jinshan (both the Altai Mountains), to the white mountains and black waters in Liaodong, from the north and south of Yinshan Mountain, to Beihai, from Khorasan to Tangju, from Anxi to Tiaozhi, the Turkic iron cavalry, countless times at a trivial cost thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of annihilation of the enemy, with a population of only hundreds of thousands, in just a few decades, replaced the Xiongnu, Xianbei people, Rouran people, became the overlord of the grassland.

Having achieved the great military exploits of the Turkic iron cavalry, dozens of tribes, tens of millions of people, kneeling under their horses' hooves and singing about conquest, how could they have tried such a fiasco!

In the former Sui Dynasty, they were defeated three times by the Sui Dynasty, and the losses were also very heavy. However, during the Sui Dynasty, the Turks were defeated, and they still didn't believe it, because the three defeats of the Turks during the Sui Dynasty had one main factor, they were internally discordant, and the Sui Dynasty was just doing the benefit of the fishermen.

However, this time there was no element of internal discord, but on the frontal battlefield, there was no conspiracy, a frontal field duel, and this complete defeat crushed the Protoss that they had established since the Tumen Khan, which was unoccupying for the Turkic cavalry.

This fear of shattering the myth itself is worse than the loss of 100,000 elite soldiers, leaving their minds blank and at a loss!

At this time, although there was no longer the shadow of the hook and sickle of the cavalry behind them, what was chasing behind them was the despicable traitors of the Zhaowu Jiubu, even if they were the traitors of the Zhaowu Jiubu, they were tired of dogs, and the number was not large.

However, at this time, not even one of the Turks turned to face their enemy, and there was only one thought left in their minds, how far to run. Just thinking about escaping, fleeing as far as possible, let the Zhaowu Nine Cavalry bite behind them like leeches, capture the abandoned wounded soldiers, and collect the abandoned war horses.

What kind of fate will these wounded soldiers be, they are too lazy to think about it, and they don't bother to think about it, it is important to escape!

PS: I'm very sorry that there is only one change today, and I will make up tomorrow. Uncle Guan's Yetianzi TV series, which is finally finished, has to say that in recent years, the male frequency film and television has changed the most successfully, and it is also the most accepting of the original work, you can go and see it.
