"General Su, Captain Su, the chief has summoned you back to discuss matters."
A herald rode from the Tang army camp and said to Su Dingfang and Su Dawei.Su Dingfang is the general of the Right Tunwei, the prince of Linqing County, and the former commander of the Western Army, which can be described as a high authority, and is the third person in the Western Tang Army after the general manager Cheng Zhijie and the deputy general manager Wang Wendu.The former commander-in-chief is the responsibility of the vanguard, holding the most elite troops in the Tang Army.And Su Dawei was originally just a battalion officer, but after the last war, when it came to rewarding meritorious deeds, Su Dingfang proposed it, and the general manager Cheng Zhijie agreed, and he was promoted to the acting lieutenant of Guoyi.The final appointment will be reviewed by the Tang Emperor Li Zhi after returning to Chang'an and a holy decree will be issued.However, under normal circumstances, Li Zhi would not deprive meritorious officials of their rewards, so Su Dawei's military position as the commander of the right Guoyi is confirmed.The army is outside, and everything is in power.The military system of the Tang Dynasty is now the government military system, and the Zhichong Mansion is used to govern the soldiers of the world, and there are 634 Zhichong Mansions in the world.Each Fold Chong Mansion has a Folding Chong Lieutenant, who is a four-grade official.Under the commander of Zhichong, there are deputy commanders who are the left and right Guoyi commanders.Su Dawei is now the deputy of the Chong Mansion.Considering that the strength of the Tang Dynasty Zhichong Mansion is generally about 25,000 people, Su Dawei's current military power can probably hold 10,000 people.Of course, this is not the case with specific operations, there are also servant armies and so on.In short, Su Dawei led 500 Tang Army Yue Cavalry before, and as a deputy battalion captain, he controlled tens of thousands of Hu servant troops to fight.That kind of situation is very rare, and it can be said that there is no name.Now it is a leap to two levels in a row to be regarded as worthy of the name.As a result, Su Dawei also became a middle-level general in the Tang Army, and he had the power to participate in the military meetings of Cheng Zhijie and Su Dingfang and others, and he no longer had to worry about being criticized.It's a pity that Su Dingfang and Su Dawei didn't wait to return to the camp before the accident happened.From the west, there was a sudden rumbling sound.There are eagles flying in the sky, hovering under the blue sky.Smoke and dust are rising.Su Dawei, Su Dingfang and the others flashed with surprise in their eyes at the same time.This sound was clearly that a large number of cavalry were approaching.It can't be the Tang Army, both the servant army and the main force of the Tang Army are here.Well, it can only be the Turks.At this time, the cavalry of the Turks suddenly appeared, could it be that they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Tang army had come from afar and had an unstable foothold to make a surprise attack?
Sometimes, reality is far more bizarre than that.Previously, the Turks had been retreating, and no matter how you look at it, it looks like they want to shrink strategically and give up a decisive battle with the Tang army.But the day after the Tang army led the servant army to the Yingsa River, the Turkic army suddenly arrived.No less than 20,000 Turkic wolf cavalry rushed straight to the Tang army camp.At that time, Su Dingfang, the former governor, took Su Dawei and others under his command out of the camp to reconnoiter the terrain, and only brought a few hundred horsemen with him.In the Tang army, Su Dingfang, the former governor, could not be found, and the chief manager Cheng Zhijie could not be used by himself as a front, so he urgently activated the rear governor Su Haizheng and sent him to lead the army to attack and block the Turkic wolf horse.It will take some time for the Don Army to enter the operational state.The army wants to find the general, and the army will find the army.The soldiers must be organized, the equipment must be put on, and the battalions must not be disordered.The Hu servants should be appeased.It is also necessary to guard against people taking advantage of the fire to rob and deliberately cause chaos to cause riots.Tens of thousands of troops have actually prepared for battle, and there are a lot of things to do.All of this depends on Su Haizheng to drag down the Turks and win time for the big camp Cheng Zhijie."
Back to camp!
Get back to camp!
”Su Dingfang and the others did not hesitate, and immediately turned their horses back.This time the Turks came so quickly, and so suddenly.When it was less than thirty miles away from the Tang army camp, it suddenly launched a charge.How did the 20,000 horses manage not to alarm the Tang army scouts?
How did they prepare to grasp the location of the Tang Army's camp, this time node was chosen too cleverly.It is difficult not to suspect that the Turks were well aware of the movements of the Don army.It is very likely that there are other parties' meticulous spies among the Hu servants, and even in the Tang army.Of course, now is not the time to think about this, first to repel the invading enemy, and then talk about anything else.In the case of a surprise attack, the most fearful thing is not that there are more enemies than yourself, but that you are afraid of chaos in the big camp.If there is chaos, or even a roar, the results can be devastating.The Hu servant army did not dare to move now.The Tang army has a total of 50,000 people, and now they dare not move all of them, and they have to put a lot of effort on the inside, to stabilize the camp, and to stabilize the morale and position of the army, which is a higher priority than anything else.Battalion roar, it was a psychological breakdown of the soldiers, and it was quickly transmitted to the whole army.Fortunately, the two folds of Chongfu on this expedition are the elite of the Tang Army, so it should not be like this.Su Dawei followed Su Dingfang and rushed forward.From his point of view, Su Dingfang's face could be seen from the side, without sadness or joy, and his face was as heavy as water.This famous Tang Dynasty general was not panicked by the chaos in front of him at all, and no one knew what he was thinking.It's ridiculous to say that Su Dingfang and his party are farther away from the Tang army camp than the Turkic wolf cavalry.Running out for dozens of miles in one go, seeing that there were still more than ten miles away from the camp, Su Dingfang led everyone to rush to a nearby dirt slope to watch the situation, and did not rush everyone back in one go.First, before going into battle, it is necessary to breathe a sigh of relief and accumulate horsepower.Second, as a famous general, he is not afraid of the enemy, but he will not be hot-headed, and he will devote himself to the battle of tens of thousands of people with hundreds of people.That's dementia, and it won't even make a splash.This is the biggest difference between him and ordinary mediocre generals.There is courage, and there is wisdom and strategy.There is also a great deal of concentration.At the camp of the Tang Army, there were bursts of killing and horns soaring to the sky.The rumbling drums, like a hoarse giant, roared and roared at the enemy."
General......"
Su Dingfang's side, a group of confidants and generals all hugged their fists and begged for their lives: "The situation is critical, please take us back to the camp, we ......"
"Ridiculous." ”Su Dingfang narrowed his eyes and said without looking back: "Rush back now, do you know what the consequences will be?"
”He pointed with his horsewhip: "Let's take a good look at the situation first." ”Well?
Su Dawei looked in the direction pointed by Su Dingfang, and couldn't help but stare at it.In front of the Tang army camp, the dust was flying, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Looking at the situation of the two armies, it was actually the Tang Army that was charging repeatedly, and the battle was extremely brave.Looking at it this way, it seems that the Tang army was not afraid of the surprise attacks of the Turks.But the truth is not that simple."
That banner is ......"
Su Dawei glanced twice and said: "The banner of our army is Su." ”"It's Su Haizheng, the rear manager."
Su Dingfang said calmly: "I'm not here, the general manager wants to sit in the Chinese army, bomb and suppress the battalions, and can't move lightly, only Su Haizheng's army can move." ”Everyone is old in the military formation, and from the situation of the army, the banner and the situation of rushing and killing, they can judge that the Tang army led by Su Haizheng rushed to the death and fought fiercely, but the Turks in front of them were like stubborn stones in the torrent, unmoved.Moreover, the Turks were pressing step by step, squeezing the combat space of the Tang army little by little, forcing the soldiers and horses under Su Haizheng to shrink back little by little.This situation is like a young man with teeth and claws, who looks unstoppable, but is facing a mature and spicy man in his prime.Although the young man kept waving his fists, he never hit the enemy's vital point, but was forced by the strong man to retreat.Something is not good.If Su Haizheng's front could not be maintained, once a certain critical point was broken, the army would collapse and roll back into the Tang army camp.This is an obvious conspiracy.The enemy wanted to use this method to force the Tang army into chaos.No matter how powerful the soldiers and horses are, once they lose their establishment and organization, they can only be slaughtered and poked empty."
I don't know who led the army this time, but I have some ability."
Su Dingfang snorted coldly: "Being able to fight head-on can still stabilize Su Haizheng's head, except for the generals, the elite of the Turks' soldiers this time is no less than our army."
And there are ambushes on the other side. ”As he spoke, Su Dingfang raised his horsewhip and pointed in one direction.Su Dawei and the rest of the generals looked at him and were shocked again.In an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, a troop of soldiers and horses is quietly lurking, slowly approaching the battlefield in a silent way.It's like watching a silent movie, a sneaky assassin, buried in the shadows, waiting for a fatal blow.Su Haizheng was already struggling to deal with the situation in front of him, if this backstabbing military horse suddenly came out, the result would be ......
Thinking of this, Su Dawei was in a cold sweat behind his back.I really thought it was too easy before, thinking that with the combat power of the Tang Army, dealing with the Turks would be Mount Tai and captured.But I didn't expect that the soldiers were in danger, and the Turks were not soft persimmons.The great steppe empire that can crisscross the east and west, and overwhelm the Sui and Tang dynasties and Persia for decades, is by no means a weakling.War is their instinct to integrate into their blood and bones.Don't underestimate the enemy in front of you.Su Dawei was secretly vigilant in his heart."
General, what do we do now?"
Seeing that the situation of the Tang Army was critical, Su Dawei couldn't help but ask Su Dingfang.In fact, he was also puzzled in his heart, the Tang army was still superior in numbers, why only Su Haizheng's army went to war, and tens of thousands of troops were ambushed in the camp, and they had no intention of fighting at all.There is also a servant army, if you count the Hu servants of the Tang army, the strength of the Tang army should have an absolute advantage over the Turks."
Don't worry, let's see."
Su Dingfang said lightly.These words made Su Dawei a little stunned for a while, this is the case, and I still look at it.Wait to see the old hen lay eggs.The military situation is like fire, if it drags on any longer, the enemy will ambush the soldiers, but I am afraid that the political leader of Su Hai, who is in charge of the future, will be cold."
The enemy has broken out, and I have a few questions."
Su Dingfang said slowly: "Where are the scouts of our army, and how did these people get close?"
In my judgment, this time the Turks approached at least thirty or forty miles from the camp, and were not discovered by our scouts before they rushed to attack.Fortunately, the general manager was experienced in the use of soldiers and did not panic, and the ordinary generals did not react in time, and at this time, they were afraid that they had already been trampled by the Turks and horses, and the army would be defeated. ”()
