Chapter 111: Swallowing Ten Thousand Miles Like a Tiger (Part 1)
"General Su, Su Duwei, the Grand Chief summoning officer summons you back to discuss matters."
A messenger came from the Tang army camp and told Su Dingfang and Su Da.
Su Dingfang was the General of the Youtun Guard and the Duke of Linqing County. He was the Central and Front General Manager of the Western Army this time. He was a high position and powerful person. He was the third-ranked figure in the Western Tang Army after Cheng Zhijie and Wang Wendu, the deputy general manager.
The former general manager is the responsibility of the pioneer and holds the most elite troops in the Tang army.
Su Dawei was originally just a commander of the camp, but after the last war, he was rewarded for his merits and was proposed by Su Dingfang, and the general manager Cheng Zhijie agreed to be appointed as the commander of the right Guoyi.
The final appointment will be subject to review and issuance of the imperial edict after returning to Chang'an.
However, under normal circumstances, Li Zhi would not deprive the rewards of meritorious officials, so Su Dawei's military position as the commander of the Right Guoyi was confirmed.
The army is outside, everything is in power.
The Tang military system is now the government military system, and the Zhechong Prefecture is used to govern the government military in the world. There are 634 Zhechong Prefectures in the world.
Each Zhechong Mansion has one Zhechong Duwei, who is a fourth-rank official.
Under the Zhechong Commander, there was a deputy commander named Wuliu Guoyi Commander.
Su Dawei is now the deputy of Yizhe Chong Mansion.
Considering that the military strength of the Zhechong Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty was generally about 25,000, Su Dawei's current military power could probably control tens of thousands.
Of course, the specific battle is not calculated like this, and there are also minions, etc.
In short, Su Dawei led five hundred Tang army cavalry before, and as the deputy battalion captain, he controlled tens of thousands of Hu servants to fight.
That kind of situation is very rare, it can be said that it is real and unnamed.
Now that I jumped two levels in a row, it was considered a match between the name and the reality.
As a result, Su Dawei also became a middle-level general in the Tang army this time, and had the power to participate in the military meetings of Cheng Zhijie, Su Dingfang and others, and no longer had to worry about being criticized.
Unfortunately, Su Dingfang and Su Dawei had not yet returned to the camp, and the incident happened.
From the west direction, a rumbling sound suddenly came out.
An eagle flew into the sky and circled under the blue sky.
The smoke and dust gradually rise.
Su Dawei, Su Dingfang and others' eyes flashed with surprise at the same time.
This sound clearly shows that a large number of cavalry are approaching.
It is impossible that it is the Tang army, and the main force of the Tang army is here.
Then, it can only be Turkic people.
At this time, the Turkic cavalry suddenly appeared. Could it be that they wanted to take advantage of the Tang army's distance and gain a foothold without firmness to launch a surprise attack?
Sometimes reality is far more bizarre than novels.
The Turks had been retreating before, and no matter how they looked, they seemed to have to shrink strategically and give up the decisive battle with the Tang army.
But the day after the Tang army led the servants to Yingsauchuan, the Turkic army suddenly arrived.
The Turkic wolf cavalry with no less than 20,000 cavalry rushed straight to the Tang army camp.
At that time, former general manager Su Dingfang led his subordinate Su Dawei and others to go out to the camp to reconnaise the terrain, and only a few hundred cavalry were around him.
In the Tang army, the former general manager Su Dingfang could not be found, and the Grand General Manager Cheng Zhijie could not use the front line himself. After the emergency was activated, the general manager Su Haizheng sent him to lead the army to attack to block the Turkic wolf cavalry.
It will take some time for the Tang army to enter combat state.
The army wants to find the general, and the army is to find it.
The soldiers must be organized and the equipment must be worn, and the battalions must not be in chaos.
The Hu servants wanted to comfort him.
We must also beware of people taking advantage of the situation and deliberately making random attempts to cause riots.
Tens of thousands of troops were ready for actual combat, and they were all in a mess.
All of this depends on Su Haizheng to hold back the Turks and give Daying Cheng Zhijie and others time.
"Go back to camp! Go back to camp quickly!"
Su Dingfang and others did not hesitate and immediately rode their horses back.
This time the Turks came so fast and very suddenly.
It was not until the Tang army camp that it suddenly launched a charge.
How did the 20,000 troops not alarm the scouts of the Tang army?
How did they prepare to master the location of the Tang army camp? This time node was chosen too cleverly.
It is hard not to be doubtful that the Turks knew the movements of the Tang army very well.
It is very likely that there were other spies from the Hu servants and even the Tang army.
Of course, now is not the time to think about these things carefully, to first defeat the invading enemy and then talk about something else.
In the case of a surprise attack, the most feared thing is not that there are more enemies than yourself, but that you are afraid of chaos.
Once chaos occurs, or even a camp roar, the result will be devastating.
The Hu servants dare not move now.
The Tang army had a total of 50,000 people, and now they dare not move all of them. They should focus their great efforts on the inside, stabilize the camp, stabilize the morale and position of the army, which is higher than the priority level of anything.
The camp roared, it was a disaster that caused the soldiers to collapse and quickly passed on to the entire army.
Fortunately, the two Zhechong Mansions that went to the expedition this time were all elite Tang army soldiers, so it should not be so.
Su Dawei followed Su Dingfang to rush forward.
From his perspective, you can see Su Dingfang's face from the side, with no sorrow or joy, and his face as deep as water.
This famous general of the Tang Dynasty was not panicked at all by the chaos in front of him, and no one knew what he was thinking.
It's ridiculous that Su Dingfang and his party were farther away from the Tang army camp than the Turkic wolf cavalry.
He ran for dozens of miles in one breath. Seeing that there were more than ten miles away from the camp, Su Dingfang led everyone to a nearby earth slope to watch the situation, and did not rush to let everyone rush back in one breath.
First, before entering the battle, you must breathe a breath and accumulate horsepower.
Secondly, as a famous general, he was not afraid of the enemy, but he would not be too angry. With his only hundreds of people, he devoted himself to a battle of tens of thousands.
That would be dementia and even a splash of water would not rise.
This is the biggest difference between him and ordinary mediocre generals.
Be brave and have more wisdom and strategy.
There is also great concentration.
At the Tang army camp, there were sounds of killing and horns soaring into the sky.
The rumbling drum sounded like a giant hoarse giant, roaring and roaring at the enemy.
"General..."
Around Su Dingfang, a group of confidant generals held their fists and asked for their orders: "The situation is dangerous, please take us back to the camp, we..."
"absurd."
Su Dingfang narrowed his eyes and said without looking back: "Run back now, do you know what the consequences will be?"
He pointed with the whip and said, "Look at the situation first."
Um?
Su Dawei looked in the direction Su Dingfang pointed, and his eyes were froze.
In front of the Tang army camp, dust was flying, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Judging from the situation of the two armies, the Tang army was actually charging repeatedly and fighting extremely bravely.
From this point of view, it seems that the Tang army is not afraid of the Turkic raids.
But the truth is not that simple.
"That flag is..." Su Dawei glanced at him and said, "The flag our army was fired by Su."
"It's the latter general manager Su Haizheng."
Su Dingfang said calmly: "I am not here. The chief general wants to take charge of the central army and suppress the battalions. He cannot move lightly. Only Su Haizheng's army can move."
Everyone was from the old army. From the situation, flag and situation of the charge, it can be judged that the Tang army led by Su Haizheng fought fiercely and fought fiercely, but the Turks in front of them were like stubborn stones in the torrent, unmoved.
Moreover, the Turks were pressing forward step by step, squeezing the combat space of the Tang army bit by bit, forcing Su Haizheng's troops to shrink back little by little.
This situation is like a young man with twitching teeth and claws. It looks unstoppable, but it is facing a mature and experienced young man.
Although the young man kept waving his fists, he could never hit the enemy's vital points, and instead was forced to retreat by the strong man.
The situation is a little bad.
If Su Haizheng's front line cannot be maintained, once a certain critical point is broken, the army will collapse and rewind back to the Tang army camp.
This is an obvious conspiracy.
The enemy wanted to use this method to force the Tang army to rebellion.
No matter how powerful a soldier is, once he loses his organization and loses his organization, he will be slaughtered.
"I don't know who is leading the Turks this time, but they have some skills."
Su Dingfang snorted coldly: "You can fight head-on and suppress Su Haizheng on the other side. Apart from the generals, the elite soldiers of the Turks this time are no less than our army. And the other side has ambush."
As he said that, Su Dingfang raised his whip and pointed in one direction.
Su Dawei and the other generals looked at him and were shocked again.
In an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, a soldier is lurking quietly, slowly approaching the battlefield in a silent way.
That feeling was like watching a silent movie, a sneaky assassin buried in the dark, waiting for a fatal blow.
It was already quite difficult for Su Haizheng to deal with the situation in front of him. If this back-sting army suddenly came out, the result would be...
When Su Dawei thought of this, he felt cold sweat behind him.
I thought it was too easy before, thinking that with the combat power of the Tang army, I could deal with the Turks with the help of Mount Tai and could easily capture it.
But I didn't expect that the soldiers were fierce and the war was dangerous, and the Turks were not soft persimmons either.
The great grassland empire that can traverse the East and the West, suppress the Sui and Tang Dynasties and Persia for decades is definitely not a weak person.
War is their instinct to integrate into their bones and blood.
Never underestimate the enemy in front of you.
Su Dawei was secretly alert in his heart.
"General, what should we do now?"
Seeing that the situation in the Tang army was critical, Su Dawei couldn't help but ask Su Dingfang.
In fact, he was also confused. The number of Tang soldiers was still the best. Why was only Su Haizheng and the army went to fight, while tens of thousands of troops were buried in the camp and had no intention of fighting.
There is also a minion army. If the Hu servants of the Tang army are included, the Tang army's military strength should have an absolute advantage over the Turks.
"No hurry, take a look."
Su Dingfang said lightly.
These words made Su Dawei a little confused for a moment. He was still seeing this situation.
Waiting to see the old hen lay eggs?
The military situation is like fire. If you drag it down, the enemy ambushed out. I am afraid that the future chief Su Haizheng will be in chaos.
"I have a few questions about the enemy's attack."
Su Dingfang said slowly: "Where are our scouts? How did these people get closer? Judging from my judgment, the Turks approached at least thirty or forty miles from the camp this time, but were not discovered by our scouts, and then they launched an attack on Rong.
