Chapter 436: Proof
Although he had always known that the barbarians were extremely fierce, after all, he had only heard about it, and now that he had really fought it, he felt how fierce the barbarians were.
The army twice that of the barbarians, far superior to the barbarian army in terms of discipline and cohesion, and even so, it was only after a tragic battle that could be repelled by the barbarian army.
Repelling the barbarian army, Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't feel any joy.
Tang Ning smiled: "It's just to repel the attack of the barbarians, it's not a big victory." ”
How is this not a big win? This pair is a big victory, Zheng Daliang thought that Tang Ning was being modest.
However, he still has no shortage of beautiful words: "The ferocity of the barbarians is well known, and the general led the army to repel the barbarian army in a field battle and beheaded countless people, which is a rare victory in the border town in recent years!" ”
In this tragic hedging, the barbarians suffered a lot of losses, but they still have time to count, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have been beheaded countless times.
Tang Ning didn't dwell on this, but asked, "The general is not in the city?" ”
Zheng Daliang was stunned and said respectfully: "Shouldn't the general be in Shuozhou City?" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said: "The general and my soldiers rushed to the aid of Xiyue City in two ways, I thought that the general had already come one step ahead of me!" ”
It turned out that the reinforcements came in two ways, Zheng Daliang shook his head and said, "The general has not come to Xiyue City yet. ”
When Tang Ning heard this, he felt that he had asked such a question in vain, if Yao Rong had already arrived with his troops, how could he sit in the city and watch the big battle outside the city?
He led the army to fight here for a long time, and Yao Rong didn't come with the army, did he also meet the army of barbarians on the way?
Not only Tang Ning thought so, but Zheng Daliang also thought so in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Zheng Daliang clenched his fists and said, "General Tang, please enter the city!" ”
Tang Ning's army entered the city to rest, and the defenders in the city immediately got busy, treating the wounded, providing food and grass, and cleaning the battlefield.
The guards took the lead by gathering the troops and horses of the headquarters, and then came to the big tent to report.
Listening to the reports of the commanders of the guards, Tang Ning felt a little blood in his heart, and scolded and scolded: "Niang Xipi, this barbarian is really fierce!" ”
Sun Hu excitedly said: "My lord, the barbarians are indeed fierce, we can repel the barbarian army in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as the majesty of our army!" ”
The generals were a little excited when they heard this, and they were looking forward to it, weren't they looking forward to such a day? Now that day has finally come, they have proved themselves in the most tragic way in the field.
Although they fought fiercely, why didn't the barbarians fight fiercely?
The smoke and dust in the distance of Xiyue City covered the sun, and the gong of the alarm in the city immediately sounded, and soon the whole city was full of gongs of warning.
Tang Ning rushed to the city wall with the generals, and Zheng Daliang was looking into the distance with a solemn expression, but he was not too worried in his heart.
With the soldiers rushing to help, it is not a problem to defend Xiyue City.
The army in the distance gradually slowed down, but they came straight towards the gate of Xiyue City. Tang Ning raised his eyebrows, it seemed that General Huaiyuan had arrived with a large army.
The gates of Xiyue City were opened again, and the army of galloping reinforcements entered the city one after another.
General Huaiyuan saw Tang Ning sitting on the horse at first glance, and the heart that he had been carrying was finally let go.
When he was about to arrive at Xiyue City, he smelled the smell of blood wafting in the wind, and his heart was shocked.
Yao Rong smiled: "It seems that the barbarian cub has already come!" ”
Zheng Daliang said respectfully: "General Hui, more than 10,000 barbarian armies invaded Xiyue City, and it happened that General Tang came with his troops and fought a big battle outside the city, and the barbarian army suffered heavy losses and retreated in defeat!" ”
Yao Rong couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he thought that Tang Ning had arrived at Xiyue City in time to help Xiyue City defend the city and repel the barbarian army.
I didn't expect that it would be Tang Ning who led the army to fight back the barbarian army!
Yao Rong felt a variety of feelings in his heart for a while, shocked, surprised, and afraid......
Yao Rong laughed and said: "This is really good, this is a big victory, General Tang is really a surprise!" ”
Tang Ning shook his head with a smile and said, "It's just that we repelled the barbarian army, and this battle was very miserable, and the losses were not small." ”
Yao Rong laughed and said: "General Tang is too modest, and the losses are not small, but there must be a lot of enemies!" The field battle defeated the barbarian army, which was a great victory for the three armies! ”
Yao Rong was indeed happy and excited in his heart, Tang Ning led his troops to achieve this great victory, and the task given to him by the emperor was successfully completed.
Moreover, Tang Ning's big victory was very beautiful, he suddenly encountered a barbarian army outside the city, and repelled the barbarian army in the field, such a big victory was convincing to everyone, and no one could find any fault.
Yao Rong was happy at the same time, but he was also very shocked, he knew how difficult it was to do this.
Entering the city together, Yao Rong also said why he came so late, it turned out that he had found the traces of the barbarian army, and he was heading towards Black Rock City.
In fact, Yao Rong originally planned to lead the troops directly to Blackstone City, but after all, he couldn't rest assured that Tang Ning was there, so he came to Xiyue City.
Unexpectedly, he received such good news, and Yao Rong was in a good mood for a while.
Just sat down and drank a sip of hot tea, Yao Rong immediately called Zheng Daliang over, he was very curious in his heart, how Tang Ning repelled the barbarian army.
Hearing the general's question, Zheng Daliang immediately described it carefully, and took Tang Ning and his army to the barbarian army to the two armies, and he did not miss every detail he saw.
"In the first hedging, General Tang's cavalry suffered a lot of losses, but in the process of detour, General Tang's cavalry continued to adjust, and the formation became strict again......"
It is normal to suffer losses in the process of hedging, because the barbarians are very fierce and their individual combat power is very strong.
After the first hedging loss, morale will inevitably fall, the camp will become less organized, and the disadvantage will become greater......
However, to Yao Rong's surprise, Tang Ning's cavalry morale not only did not fall, but maintained a high morale, and even assembled into a strict formation again in the process of detour.
Yao Rong was really stunned, this is easy to say, but how easy is it to do?
Not only Yao Rong was shocked, but even Zheng Daliang had just arrived, he was also a veteran of the battlefield, and it was the first time he had seen such a disciplined army.
Under normal circumstances, if the two cavalry hedge against each other a few times, there will be no formation to speak of, and there will even be a melee.
At this time, Yao Rong finally understood how Tang Ning's army could repel the barbarian army, relying on discipline and cohesion.
It is precisely because of such strong discipline and cohesion that Tang Ning can issue orders and command the army like an arm.
