Chapter 575: Meeting on a Narrow Road

Wei Chigong and Su Dingfang led the army to pick up Li Jing's 3,000 men, and Xia Hongsheng led 2,000 military cadets to protect the baggage and grain and grass.

The news of the breakout of the Turks made these students excited and disappointed at the same time, because they didn't even see the Tang army galloping, and the Turks had already fled.

Not being able to see with their own eyes the heroic posture of the academy's sacrificial wine command battle made these students a little unhappy.

"General! General, when do you think it will be our turn to fight the Turks, so that we can teach our brothers to make meritorious deeds? Li Yexu ran to Xia Hongsheng and asked.

Xia Hongsheng glanced at Li Yexu very contemptuously, and said, "I don't know how many catties and taels I have?" You say, if you really go to the battlefield, with your little level, it's not as good as one of your grandfather's legs! If you really fight against the Turkic cavalry, you don't know where you're going. ”

"Nonsense! Just rely on us, but we are also one of the best characters in the military academy, and the one with a long lance is decent. Li Yexu is not ashamed to boast that he is here.

However, his long lance is indeed good, and he does have a good foundation in martial arts. Who made him Li Jing's grandson is the origin of family education.

"It's not for me to say, if you can learn half of your grandfather's true biography with your heart, at least you can be a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that you keep this treasure and don't use it, and you're still a fool. Xia Hongsheng said to Li Yexu.

"Brother Sheng, that can't be said either. Isn't that my brother, I was young and ignorant, and now my brother and I are drumming up a lot of energy, just waiting for ......"

"Report! - "Li Yexu said half-cut. I heard a shout from ahead. When he turned his head, he saw that Xia Hongsheng had sent out the scout horse in front of him, and one of the two rushed over with a whip.

Xia Hongsheng saw that the Tanma was in such a hurry. I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart, and I only heard the Tanma say: "General Qiyu, there are Turkic deserters in front of you who are rushing towards this side, and the number is about three thousand!" ”

"What?!" Xia Hongsheng frowned: "More than 3,000 people? ”

More than 3,000 people rushed towards them, and if they encountered baggage and grain and grass, they would definitely attack. But the fleeing team is also very fragile.

"General! Meet the enemy! Li Yexu was very excited to hear the news. said to Xia Hongsheng with all his hands.

Xia Hongsheng didn't make up his mind immediately, but asked again: "How far is that group of Turkic fugitives from here, and if it is cavalry, when can it arrive?" ”

The soldier replied: "More than twenty miles, if you ride a horse, I am afraid that it will be there in less than a stick of incense!" If the Turkic scouts discover us, and they charge over, I'm afraid that the time for a cup of tea will be almost there. ”

"Childe, hand-to-hand combat! To fight or not to fight? Qi Yong also asked behind Xia Hongsheng.

Two thousand people on his side, well armed. Abundant and complete. However, most of them have no actual combat experience. On the Turkic side, there were 3,000 people, and they had an advantage in numbers, and they were all Turkic cavalry who had experienced the battlefield. However, since they are a rout, the morale of the natural army is weakened, and the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced.

There are a lot of baggage and grain and grass vehicles, and if you want to avoid them now, you can only give up these baggage.

Xia Hongsheng gritted his teeth and avoided a fart! The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, and the Turkic cavalry are all fleeing soldiers, with no fighting spirit at all, and their soldiers are panicked, and they encounter the Tang army on the way to escape, and they may not dare to face the battle. No matter how small the tiger's cub is, it will eventually eat meat, so how can there be any reason to let go of the meat that is delivered to the mouth?

So Xia Hongsheng was in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Pass my general's order, based on the 500-strong brigade during the military skill training, the first and second teams will get on the war horses, and immediately lead the horses to lurk on the two wings, and the three teams will be in a crossbow formation, and when the Turkic cavalry charges, they will shoot at a long distance in the form of three strikes." The four teams were located behind the formation, forming a sword formation, guarding the heavy grain and grass and those Taoist military doctors, and killing all those who rushed through the crossbow array. As soon as the Turkic cavalry began to charge towards the crossbow array, the cavalry on both sides immediately outflanked and retracted, and caught these Turkic deserters in an urn! ”

"The last will be ordered!" Li Yexu and the others immediately shouted excitedly, and immediately led their horses to pass the order.

Among the cadets of the military academy, they are all guided by instructors from Datang Daofeng on weekdays, and the other captains under the instructors are all served by the eight hundred cadets selected from the right feather forest guard in the first phase. They have been on the battlefield and have experience, and when it was originally arranged, there was a plan to let these experienced students guide those who had no experience. Now, it happens to be the commander of the squad. Those instructors of the Tang Blade in the past, and the first batch of students selected by the eight hundred right feather Lin Wei, they are instructors, squad leaders, and captains in normal times, and in wartime, they are the commanders who directly lead others.

The training of the military academy showed its advantages at this time, and as soon as Xia Hongsheng's military order was given, 2,000 people immediately assembled according to Xia Hongsheng's order, and the order was forbidden, so that the cadets of the military academy saved a lot of time and completed Xia Hongsheng's deployment.

Seeing that the five hundred cavalry on both sides had already gone to both sides to ambush, after Xia Hongsheng was raised, the crossbow array and the sword formation had also been formed, and they were all lined up.

"Childe, you better go to the back, let's watch for Childe in front!" Qi Yong was worried about Xia Hongsheng's safety, so he said.

"The sword has no eyes, Brother Xia is a great talent of the country, he shouldn't be involved in this risk, so he should go to the back quickly." Ma Zhou also said next to Xia Hongsheng: "Zhou is the head of the military academy, and he should advance and retreat with the cadets of the military academy, and live and die together!" ”

Eh, Xia Hongsheng felt bitter in his heart, looking at the knife in Ma Zhou's hand, he originally wanted to go to the back, but when Ma Zhou said this, he was even more embarrassed to hide in the back!

"This general is the commander of the cadet army, how can there be a reason to hide behind the battle?" Xia Hongsheng had no choice but to pretend to be arrogant, waved his hand, and said, "Qi Yong, let people go to the front to settle the stumbling horse!" ”

"This, Childe ......" Qi Yong was worried that Xia Hongsheng would be in danger, and he hesitated.

"Ben will teach in the military academy on weekdays, and often say that he will sacrifice his life to go to the country, and he will see death as if he were going home. Today, the Turks invade our borders and kill my people, how can they sit idly by? Xia Hongsheng looked solemn and said awe-inspiringly: "My military academy cadets are not real Tang soldiers after all. Gentlemen, when the brave meet on the narrow road, the brave wins, so I will use this battle to play the prestige of my Datang Military Academy cadets, and establish the prestige of my Datang Royal Military Academy, so that everyone in the world knows that our military academy is not a place to eat white rice and talk about soldiers on paper! Gentlemen, Datang Wansheng! ”

"Yes!" The surrounding cadets shouted in unison: "Datang Wansheng!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw the flying sand in the sky ahead!
