As explained above, Jingyang City is only seventy miles away from Chang'an.Wei Chigong had already walked half of the distance, and the remaining thirty miles was half an hour's journey for the cavalry.At that time, the Turkic vanguard officer Ashdewumer led an army to attack the city, and although there were only 1,000 defenders in Jingyang City, the resistance was very tenacious.In less than an hour of the siege, the Turks paid more than a thousand casualties.The Tang army defending the city was no better, reduced by a third.The casualties of more than a thousand people will not frown for Asdewumer.The siege battle was already extremely tragic, and the casualties of the attacking and defending sides were three to one, which was simply a normal ratio.Asdewumer sobbed with confidence.Even if this casualty ratio is maintained, at most another 1,800 people will be sacrificed, and the viable strength of the Tang army will be exhausted.Make a slight adjustment, attack another round, and take Jingyang City, who knows, people are not as good as heaven, Ashi Dewumo did not expect that it was not the Tang Army that made him a failure, but the people and horses he led.The Turks were just about to launch a second round of siege in front of the city, when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly shook in the rear camp, and the defeated army defeated by Wei Chigong finally fled back.The Turkic soldiers who stayed in the camp saw that they were their own people, and there was no reason not to open the camp gate.But as soon as the camp gate opened, it was amazing, and the Tang cavalry chasing behind the routs also entered the camp in one go, cutting down every person and burning tents.There were not many troops left in the camp, and when they were attacked by the wolf-like Tang army, the Turks who survived frantically escaped from the camp and hurried to ask for the protection of Ashdewumer.There, it is the main force of the Turks.The number of Turkic routs increased rather than decreased.Asdewumo slurped this anger, the big camp was behind the main force he led, and he didn't know that something had happened.Originally, he thought of immediately dispatching a team of men and horses to rescue the camp, but who knows, before he gave the order, those cowards ran towards his main army formation."
These people are not worthy to be called Turkic warriors, let go of arrows, stop them, and not let them scatter their own formation."
Ashdewumer was worthy of being ruthless, and he was also ruthless to his own people at the critical moment.However, the battalion was too close to the main formation, and the few arrows that were shot in a hurry did not stop the rout.The rout, who only cared about fleeing for their lives, had a short circuit in their brains, and couldn't care about anything, so they came to their own military formation.The Tang Army's pursuers were overjoyed.Originally, when I saw the dense Turks, I was still timid and ready to accept it when I saw it.It's okay now, what a similar scene.The Turkic rout and the men and horses of this formation collided together, and they were in chaos, and they were all in chaos.In order not to be scattered, the men and horses of this formation resisted to death and did not let the rout enter the battle; In order to save their lives, the rout soldiers also rushed forward frantically.Both sides lost their coolness, and before Tang Jun could make a move, their own people cut it first.The cavalry of the Tang army hurriedly picked up the bargain and launched a charge against the main army of the Turks.If only one side is attacked, Asid Ummer may still be able to hold on.But at this moment, a team of Tang troops actually came out of the city.Although there were only a few hundred people, they were all cavalry, and it was difficult to resist when they charged.And because the Turks attacked the city, the cavalry also turned into infantry.At this moment, the formation was quickly chaotic due to the front and rear attacks of the Tang cavalry, coupled with the chaotic entry of his own rout.As soon as the infantry formation was disorganized, its combat power was almost lost, and in the face of the cavalry, there was only the fate of being slaughtered.The defeat was like a mountain, and the Turkic warriors who returned to the army a quarter of an hour ago were all lost dogs at this moment, scattering and fleeing for their lives, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs.Asdewumer was also carried by the rout, all the way north.His brain is confused now, how could he be defeated, impossible, there are only more than 1,000 people in the Tang army, and there are more than 8,000 people in his own army.War is not just about numbers.A small accident may cause an avalanche-like consequence, and this is the case with the defeat of the Turks.They ran for more than twenty miles in one go, and only then did the Turks stop.As soon as the rout was counted, Ashdewumer was about to cry without tears.Coming with 10,000 people, there were less than 1,000 people left around at this time.Alas, how to explain to the Great Khan "Hahaha, happy, really special mother's pleasure" was welcomed into the Jingyang County Ya by the Jingyang County Order and the Captain of the Defending Army, and Wei Chigong laughed loudly."
If I knew that the Turks were so unbeaten, Lao Tzu would not have delayed time, and you would not have paid so many casualties."
Speaking of the casualties, the good mood of several people who had just broken the enemy also dimmed."
Commander, with all due respect, this battle is the advantage of our army, and if it is a head-on duel, it is really unpredictable whether to win or lose."
The captain of the Jingyang garrison said bluntly to Wei Chigong.Wei Chigong nodded and said, "You're right, the old man was arrogant just now."
In the first battle, if we face each other, our army will be defeated.The Turks sent 200,000 troops this time, and the 10,000 people in Jingyang City were just forwards.Next, it's the real big battle" The county commander and the lieutenant glanced at each other, and clasped their fists together at Wei Chi Gong: "But please assign the task to the general manager." ”Wei Chigong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, wait for a follow-up force to arrive, and discuss it together." ”Zhao Yunze and Yan Liben took the baggage team and rested temporarily in a place that was still ten miles away from Jingyang City.A scout was sent to investigate, and it was reported that there was not a single Turk outside Jingyang City, and the people of the chief had already entered the city.Well, don't be cautious and swagger.By the time we arrived in Jingyang, it was almost dark.Zhao Yunze and Yan Liben hurriedly went to report to Wei Chigong."
Haha, you two boys are really here, just in time for dinner."
Wei Chigong held a big elbow in one hand and a wine bowl in the other, laughing at Zhao Yunze and Yan Liben.In the main hall of the county ya, Wei Chigong and his son took the county master's case as a dining table and were feasting.The civil official sitting with a sad face next to him was not the Jingyang County Order."
Boss, the food is good" Since it was not a formal occasion, Zhao Yunze didn't need to be polite, and sat cross-legged opposite Wei Chigong.The tables in this era are all short-legged, and the most accustomed sitting posture for people is to kneel.Zhao Yunze couldn't stand that crime, so he had to sit cross-legged very unimpressively.Anyway, there is Wei Chigong, who is even more informal, and others can't say anything about themselves.Yan Liben bowed to a few people and squeezed to the table.Everything in the army is simple, and I don't care about the rules and regulations of one person, one seat, let's eat it around."
Haha, thanks to the Turks."
Wei Chigong said while chewing, "In the Turkic camp, there is no shortage of anything, Lao Tzu has earned it now, at least for half a month, there is no need to worry about food and grass." ”Wei Chigong lowered his voice again, and said mysteriously: "Do you know, in this battle, we also captured more than 3,000 war horses, which is much more valuable than those grains and grass." ”"Three thousand war horses, developed" Yan Liben suddenly shouted with joy.Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he smiled shyly.At this time, the territory of the Tang Dynasty was still limited to the Central Plains, the land of horse grazing in the Hetao region, and it was still in the hands of the Turks at this time.Therefore, Datang is very eager for war horses.Wei Chigong captured more than 3,000 war horses at once, and it was no wonder that everyone was so happy.Zhao Yunze didn't feel anything about this, he only cared about the war."
Boss, how did you fight this battle, why did you win so quickly" "Hehe, if you want to talk about how you won this battle, Lao Tzu is still confused."
Anyway, Lao Tzu waved his troops and followed behind the Turkic routs to cover up and kill all the way.Killing and killing, looking up, the Turks of Teniang have all run away. ”Wei Chigong said as if it were true or false.Zhao Yunze sighed and said, "Alas, if I had known that you were fighting so happily, I should have acted with Brother Baolin." ”Yu Chi Baolin glared and said, "Bullshit, it's not like I haven't even sniffed the Turkic sycophants with me, and let my father eat and drink." ”Wei Chigong scolded with a smile: ", Lao Tzu doesn't eat the sycophants of the Turks."
If you want to smell it, go to the stable, where there are more than 3,000 horses. ”Everyone burst out laughing.After laughing enough, Wei Chigong suddenly asked Yan Liben: "Yan Erlang, Zhao Xiaozi's crossbow, have you ever seen it" Yan Liben said: "Xiaguan Yu has carefully observed it on the way here. ”"I may imitate the Tang Dynasty," Wei Chigong asked again.Yan Liben smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhao's crossbow, the steel used is hard and tough, it is very rare, and I can't refine it under the eyes of the Tang Dynasty. ”After speaking, Yan Liben said to Zhao Yunze with admiration on his face: "Lingshi is really a god" "I'm ashamed, the kid didn't learn the steelmaking method of the master." ”Zhao Yunze pretended to deal with it."
Then it can't be imitated," Wei Chigong said disappointedly.Yan Liben thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to imitate.If you use the current craftsmanship of my Datang, if you want to imitate the crossbow used by Brother Zhao, you can only enlarge the size and slightly change the structure to make up for the material defects.Or give it a try. ”Yu Chigong patted his thigh and said, "Okay, then you can try."
It doesn't matter if the size is big, as long as it's useful" Yu Chi Baolin noticed Zhao Yunze, who was confused at the moment, and hurriedly explained: "This Lord Yan not only has the peak of Danqing Technique, but is also quite proficient in craftsmanship. ”Zhao Yunze suddenly realized, no wonder Yan Liben had to go through his crossbow research over and over when he was on the road, and asked him a lot of professional questions about the materials, firing principle, range, accuracy and other professional questions of the crossbow.It turns out that Yan Liben is still an engineer.Amazing, the adult talent Chi Baolin said at this time: "Brother Zhao, the formula of your hemostatic medicine can also be handed over to Lord Yan to test together." ”"Yes, yes, it's still my little cub who has a good memory, and I almost forgot about it."
Wei Chigong patted his head and said.Zhao Yunze's face was full of black lines, yes, he should be robbed.Anyway, this can be regarded as a contribution to the Tang Dynasty, in other words, His Majesty Li Shimin, won't you reward me that the current emperor is Li Shimin, Zhao Yunze realized that he had ignored a very important issue
