Chapter 590 A strong man breaks his wrist
"Why does Tang Jun keep shrinking?"
Outside the Tang camp, Yifu Abao rode a Qinghai dragon colt, Suo Zijia got off, Abao frowned. This night attack, he took a lot of risks. He thought that the night battle would allow him to take advantage of his familiarity with the geography to counteract some of the advantages of the Tang army's well-equipped equipment, but he never expected that he would take such a risk to attack. Tang Jun couldn't shrink back.
"It shouldn't be. Don't the Tang army come to fight thousands of miles away just for a fight? Now I come to fight on my own initiative, why don't they come out?"
Joining the army, Li Shi is still wearing a Confucian robe, which is very special.
"I also thought that this Qin Lang was a person who loves to take risks and play tricks. Who would have expected that he would stay out of the camp at night. This person really underestimated him. He is young, capable of attacking and willing to defend, and his ability to use troops Can, even surpassed Li Shimin back then."
Ah Bao didn’t come to hear about Qin Lang to brag about.
"Talk about the countermeasures."
"Please look, Your Majesty, the Tang army has placed two battalions, one on the left and one on the right. Obviously, the left battalion is the main force of the Longyou Army led by Qin Lang, and the right battalion must be the troops led by Murong Shun. Under the surprise attack, the left battalion guarded the water, but the right battalion obviously struggled."
"You mean to attack the left battalion?"
"No, even if we abandon the left battalion and attack the right battalion with all our strength, it will be very difficult for us to fight with the left and right battalions. I think Murong Shun is far inferior to Qin Lang. He has no experience in commanding troops in the Central Plains for a long time, and his subordinates may not have much experience. How many people are convinced by him. Why don't we pretend to focus on attacking the right battalion first, then retreat in a fake defeat, and lure the right battalion to attack. We just need to draw them out of the battalion, keep a distance from the left battalion Tang army, and take them to the mountains. We will fight back, We will definitely be able to defeat them, and maybe we will be able to persuade those chiefs who surrendered before the battle to come back."
A Bao stared at Tang Ying, "My goal is Tang Jun. Even if Murong Shun is captured, the right camp is not what I want."
"My lord, come a little bit, if you can break through his right battalion, it will also cut off Qin Lang's arm."
"All right."
Abao called his own soldiers and sent orders to move around.
In the dark night, the two armies came and went, and the arrow feathers were flying, but the Tang army defended itself, and the Qiang cavalry had no chance. Once they got close, they would be massacred by the sharp crossbows.
Under Abao's new military order, the Fanqi began to gather in the direction of the right battalion and launched a more violent offensive.
Compared with Qin Lang's left battalion, which was guarded by Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Shigui, Xi Junmai, Liang Jianfang, Gao Kan, Gao Zhensheng, and Qin Lang's unified army, compared with the 10,000 cavalry in the right battalion, Chai Shao was the main general. Murong Shun was the lieutenant general, and under him were Xifeng Cunyi and other generals from the Dangxiang Xifeng Department. They were all commanding their own troops, and they put together 10,000 riders, which were actually dozens of troops, large and small.
Although Qin Lang even temporarily selected ten thousand commanders for the right army Wanqi, but in fact they still commanded their own troops, and when they set up camp, they just enclose a random piece of land and set up a camp as usual. Come on, send some people on duty to watch the night. There is neither a clear command system like the Longyou Army, nor a complete set of banners and orders, let alone a strict method of garrisoning and disembarking.
If it weren't for the Longyou Army being two miles away from them, it is estimated that the night attack of Ah Bao's thousands of horses would have scared them away long ago.
Chai Shao sat in town and ordered people to continue beating the drums to respond to Zuo Ying.
And let the ten commanders, each guard one side, and strictly forbid them to pursue without authorization.
Relying on the simple horse-repelling and wooden fences, and then using bows and crossbows to fight back, they fought for more than half an hour, but they still held.
The horn sounded, and the Tuyuhun people began to retreat like a tide.
"Abao withdrew, and Yifu was defeated."
Someone shouted.
Tuyuhun and the Dangxiang departments, who seemed flustered under the siege just now, are a little ready to move at this time.
Beating the dog in the water and picking up a bargain, this is what many generals believe at this time.
Xi Feng Cunyi shot down a Yifu cavalryman with an arrow, and wiped the sweat from his face, "Damn it, come and leave whenever you want, do you really think we are easy to bully?"
"Follow me!"
"General, the general has an order, stick to each other, and don't go out to fight."
"What is Lang Zhan? Didn't you see that Yifu is running away after being defeated by us? If you don't chase now, when will you wait?" Xifeng Cunyi got on his horse and said, "Kill!"
The thousands of fine-sealed knights behind them naturally listened to their leader.
They galloped out on their horses. Seeing this, the Yifu cavalry ran faster, which made the Xifeng family knights even more proud.
Chai Shao was still playing the pipa when he heard the news in the tent of the right army.
"Go and send an order to seal up the righteousness and order him to return it immediately."
The soldiers hurriedly chased out the order.
After finally finding Xifeng Cunyi, he just snorted and continued chasing him.
For him, the pursuit is vigorous. The defeated soldiers of the Yifu Department have begun to throw away their armor and armor in order to escape. The knights of the Fine Seal Department have already picked up a lot.
As long as you work harder, you can catch up with them. Even if you can't catch up, picking up more armor and weapons is a big profit.
At this time, even if it is ordered by Xifeng Cunyi, it is estimated that the situation may not be under control.
Chai Shao heard the news, and stopped playing the pipa.
Murong Shun came in.
"General, do you want to send someone to meet General Xifeng?"
"If you don't obey the military order, you will kill yourself. Let him go."
Murong Shun hesitated, "General, many chiefs have chased him out with their headquarters."
Chai Shao rolled his eyes when he heard the words, "There is no military discipline."
"Are you sending troops to help?" Murong Shun asked again.
Chai Shao looked at Murong Shun with some disdain, and knew that although Prince Tuyuhun was the deputy general of the right army, he actually had no prestige. listen to him.
Just like now, it is said that it is a response, but in fact it is the behavior of all the troops who do not obey orders at all, and even ignore Murong Shun. He can't restrain his own troops at all.
"Didn't General Murong see Zuoying's drum order? Keep the camp." Chai Shao said.
"But now half of the right battalion is attacking, I am a little worried."
"The general thinks that Ah Bao is deliberately cheating to lure the enemy?"
"Could it be that what you think is? We defeated and collapsed?"
Murong Shun blushed a little. He really didn't understand military affairs, let alone fighting. The main reason was that he had no chance to lead troops to fight. He had stayed in the Central Plains for more than ten years. It's just a guest of wine.
"Then they are not dangerous, the general quickly sent troops to rescue."
"If you want to be rescued, you have to send troops from the left battalion. If they don't send troops, even our right battalion will follow up. If this black and blind man goes into the mountains, he will find his own death. Send me a general order to prohibit leaving the camp, otherwise Military law is ruthless, and the consequences are at your own peril."
Murong Shun's lips trembled, "Then just ignore the thousands of people?"
"If you seek your own death, who is to blame."
After Chai Shao finished speaking, he picked up the pipa and continued to play it.
Murong Shun stood there for a long time, but finally turned his head and left.
Back to his camp, a group of Tuyuhun generals came to inquire.
He had no choice but to repeat what Chai Shao had said.
"Damn it, this Chai Shao doesn't care about our lives."
"At a time like this, he's still playing the pipa. I think this guy is useless."
"Why don't you just ignore him and let's do it ourselves."
Murong Shun said worriedly, "General Chai also has some truths in what he said. He is chasing in the dark and he is not familiar with geography. If he is ambushed, he will regret it later."
"Liang Yi is really the father of my son-in-law. Now that he has brought my son-in-law and grandson up, I can't just watch from behind? Since there is danger, then I will go to the army. Eldest prince, I will go first .”
A general slapped Murong Shun on the chest, then turned away after speaking.
The other generals were also talking about it, and in the end, many of them led their troops to pursue them. Some of them were because their brothers, relatives and clansmen had already joined the battle, and some thought that Chai Shao was cowardly and cowardly, and he was robbed by others. Zhenghuan is harvesting Zhengfeng.
The rest are still hesitating.
Murong Shun looked into their eyes, feeling helpless.
"Do you also want to pursue?"
"Everyone has chased them out, and we are the only ones left. We don't want to just stay in the camp like this. Otherwise, we won't be ridiculed to death by everyone in the future?"
Murong Shun had no choice but to say, "But Duke Wei of Zuoying also stood still."
"He is him, we are us."
Murong Shun thought and thought, finally gritted his teeth and said, "General Chai is the leader of the right army, and his orders cannot be disobeyed."
This remark made the generals very dissatisfied, and everyone dispersed.
As a result, after returning to the camp, several chiefs led their men to chase them out of the camp.
In the dark night, when Chai Shao heard the report, he just asked, "Has Murong Shun left the camp yet?"
"General Murong is still in the camp."
"oh."
Chai Shao continued to play the piano, and stopped halfway through.
"Pack up your things, let's go to Zuoying."
"What are you doing in Zuoying?"
"Go and report to Qin Lang, just in case."
"in case?"
"Most of the right battalion has run away, and there are only two or three thousand people left. If the idiots chasing them are attacked and defeated, they will definitely flee back at that time. If Yifubu chases and kills them at night, wouldn't we be in danger? If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, it is better to walk first."
Chai Shao didn't have the slightest expectation for the entire right battalion. Originally, he was kicked out by Qin Lang from the South Route Army to make way for Cheng Yaojin, but when he arrived in the North Route Army, he was kicked back to the Right Camp. The 10,000 cavalry in the Youying nominally listened to his command, but just like now, which one of these attached Tuyuhun and Dangxiang Qiang really listened to him?
With only such a team of personal soldiers under his command, how can Chai Shao restrain and command the right army Wanqi.
Chai Shao simply packed up his things and ran to Zuoying with his own soldiers.
Qin Lang was also surprised to see Chai Shao coming alone. When he understood Chai Shao's words, he was angry and also helpless.
"The general can't restrain his subordinates, so he should report it earlier." Qin Lang said.
Chai Shao was not annoyed, "Xuanxiang let me go to the right camp alone, I should have expected it if I couldn't be restrained."
"Come here, go to Youying and call Murong Shun over."
"Order the battalions to be more vigilant, and be careful of the enemy attacking again!"
Chai Shao smiled there, "Minister Xuan will not send troops to support the right battalion?"
"A group of idiots, I can't do it for them, I also become an idiot, it's not worth it."
In this case, Qin Lang would rather give up the right camp than take the risk of attacking, so in the end he chose to bring Murong Shun, an important person, back to the left camp.
As for the remaining two or three thousand riders, I don’t bother to care about them, maybe they can be used as bait if they stay there.
If Abao doesn’t know what it means to accept as soon as he likes it, and he dares to come back again, then he must show him some color and let him know that Tang Jun is not easy to mess with.
"Are you really giving up on the right battalion? Seven or eight thousand riders have been dispatched. If they are gone, the loss will be huge."
"If it's gone, it's gone. Anyway, they are all newly attached people, so they may not be loyal!"
