Chapter 136 Mo Dao Shou...
Chai Lingwu came from an extraordinary background, his father was Chai Shao, and he was one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Her mother, Princess Pingyang, is also a hero among girls, and she has made great contributions to Li Tang's great cause.
Then Princess Pingyang died young, and Chai Shao also died young, leaving behind two brothers, Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu.
But the visit of Chai Shao and his wife, who have made great achievements, made the royal family less wary, so Chai Lingwu was favored by the royal family, and even favored Princess Baling.
The elder brother, Chai Zhewei, has general talent, and he can also cover the younger brother Chai Lingwu, so Chai Lingwu can be said to be loved by all kinds of people.
No, Chai Lingwu was appointed as the governor of Weizhou, and he should go to the post happily, but he claimed that Princess Baling was ill and stayed in Chang'an City on the grounds of taking care of the princess.
Gao Yang went all the way in, and at the back, he saw his sister, Princess Baling.
"Gao Yang is here." Baling sat there waving. She has a plump figure, and the lower limit of her chest is relatively low, just smile,
"You go to treat guests every now and then, why?" Gao Yang asked after sitting down.
Ba Ling stretched out his hand to pour wine for her, and said with a smile: "I heard that you are not going out at home recently. I didn't invite you here because I was worried that you would be bored."
Gao Yang looked at the food and drink on the table, and said angrily: "You and I are not bad at eating and drinking, but there are good songs and dances?"
"Why not?" Speaking of which, the foundation of the Chai family is not shallow, so these things are not lacking.
Baling clapped his hands, and then a singer came.
She glanced at Gao Yang, and said in a low voice: "I heard that you don't have the right to reward the clan?"
After Li Zhi ascended the throne, he often rewarded important ministers and clans, which can be regarded as winning people's hearts.
Gao Yang glanced at her, frowned and said, "You don't either?"
Ba Ling's eyes were full of embarrassment, which disappeared immediately.
The two toasted and drank, and the hall was full of singing and dancing.
Ba Ling smiled and said: "I heard that you are interested in a document from Baiqi?"
Gao Yang thought of the tough guy Jia, so he said coldly: "Who said that?"
"Many people said." Baling's eyes moved slightly, poured wine for Gao Yang, then covered his mouth and smiled: "A young man, is it interesting?"
Gao Yang said flatly: "It's more interesting than you."
Baling was full of laughter, when a maid came in, "Princess, there are guests over there. I heard that Princess Gaoyang is here, and I want to see you."
The princess of the royal family is not the kind of woman who waits for the door to come out, and does not have any taboos when meeting guests.
Baling got up, then leaned over to pull Gao Yang, "Those are some interesting people, Gao Yang, let me go and have a look."
Gao Yang got up and went out with her.
Walking outside the hall, she suddenly remembered Master Jia's words.
—Seldom see others!
Yes!
She looked sideways at Baling, "Who is it?"
Ba Ling supported her arm, "You will know when you meet her."
As soon as Gao Yang shook his hand, Baling staggered.
"Gao Yang..." After Baling stood firm, he asked in surprise, "Why are you doing this?"
Gao Yang frowned and said, "I'm suddenly tired and want to sleep."
"Princess, you can rest temporarily at the house." A middle-aged female official smiled.
Hanging down with his right hand, he waved his beloved little leather whip.
Snapped!
The female officer covered her shoulder and screamed, Gao Yang strode out, "I'm going back to rest, I'll treat you to a drink later!"
"Gao Yang!"
Baling yelled a few times, and finally stopped with a sigh.
"Did she notice something wrong?" A man's voice came from behind.
Ba Ling leaned against the man's arms prostratedly, "Gao Yang has been a little eccentric recently, and he is no longer as playful as before."
The man stretched his hand forward and said with a low smile, "But you can have fun?"
Baling's body squirmed a bit, "Mr. Lang, Gao Yang may be in some trouble here."
The man is Chai Lingwu. He smiled and followed Gao Yang's back, "Don't worry, Gao Yang is just stupid. If you talk about those things, she will naturally be upset, especially the title, remember."
Ba Ling nodded, "Today, I forgot to mention the title of the Fang family. I made a mistake."
"No problem! Let's go."
The husband and wife went to a quiet room hand in hand.
"Meet the princess."
"I have seen you all."
"Sit down and talk!"
The door of the room is closed, the interior is dark, and the outside is bright, as if there are two worlds.
…
"Slow down, pout!"
"Slow down!"
Jia Ping'an landed, and then returned to Baiqi with the second general Heng Ha.
Sure enough, Gao Yang wanted to see him outside the imperial city not long after.
Jia Pingan came out yawning, Gao Yang said with concern: "But are you tired?"
"I just got promoted, so I have a lot of things to do."
"Ah!" Gao Yang said happily, "What official?"
"Join the army as a recorder."
Gao Yang just wanted to be disdainful, but changed his words: "You are only fifteen, and you have a bright future ahead."
But don't blush!
Jia Pingan didn't know that she was blushing for Mao, so he smiled.
"Earlier, Baling said he would take me to meet some guests, so I left right away." Gao Yang felt a little confused, "Why is this?"
This has to be hardened to handle.
Jia Pingan, who changed the persona, said indifferently: "You just need to know that this is for your own good."
"Okay!" Gao Yang blushed again, "Come home later, I'll drink with you."
Brother is afraid of being swallowed by you.
He watched Gao Yang's carriage go away, thinking a lot.
In order to compete with his eldest brother Li Chengqian, Li Tai recruited a group of helpers, including Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu.
This is standing in line.
After Li Tai lost to his younger brother Li Zhi, the first emperor mercifully spared the two sons-in-law Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu.
Fang Yiai is a fool, she won't play rebellion games if no one encourages her.
But what about Chai Lingwu?
This person comes from an extraordinary background, if nothing goes wrong, he will definitely be a powerful minister in the future.
But...he was on the team back then, no matter how stupid Li Zhi was, he would never tolerate him being in a high position in the court.
In other words, Fang Yiai and Chai Lingwu's future has a ceiling, which is not too high.
What will people think at this time?
Jia Ping’an doesn’t know, but the clan of Tang Dynasty is dishonest from the princess to the prince.
"Xiao Jia!"
When Tang Xu came, Jia Pingan greeted him and said with a smile, "The lieutenant just asked someone to go if he has something to do, why did he come in person? Is this not giving someone face?"
After being promoted, in the initial period of time, you need to treat your colleagues the same as before, don’t beep, don’t beep, otherwise you will be slandered or even targeted.
Tang Xu nodded secretly, thinking that Xiao Jia remained the same after being promoted, which shows that he is an honest person.
And those Baiqi felt relieved when they saw it, and the original jealousy gradually dissipated.
This is the principle of being an official first.
Tang Xu went in, and Jia Pingan said: "Lieutenant, I don't know how to cook tea, so you want Bao Dong to come?"
He didn't know the reason for Tang Xu's visit. This was both polite and tentative. If it was something important, Tang Xu would refuse.
"Let him come."
Bao Dong came later, and started to cook tea skillfully.
Tang Xu said: "Earlier, a certain person went to Zuo Wuwei to visit, and there was a discussion there, and the relationship between Tubo and Datang was mentioned, so a certain person said that, of course, Tubo is a wolf's ambition, and he was laughed at. A hundred guan...Xiao Jia, tell me."
One hundred guan... Is Tang Xu ready to live? Jia Pingan didn't expect this, he pondered for a while.
Bao Dong brought tea, Jia Pingan shook his head, indicating that he was not thirsty.
"Lieutenant, I thought that Tubo would definitely erode the border areas of the Tang Dynasty."
"Why?" Tang Xu took a sip of tea and nodded in satisfaction.
Jia Ping'an's cheeks twitched, "From Zanpu's letter, we can see his contempt for Datang. Whether it is His Majesty or the prime ministers, his tone is like... scolding little brothers."
This is unbearable!
"Then what do you think they will do?" Tang Xu obviously wanted to return to the battlefield, but before Baiqi had a reliable successor, his idea could not be realized.
Jia Pingan said: "They will test slowly, step by step..."
Tang Xu then quietly went to Zuo Wuwei.
"Tang Xu, what are you doing here?" A group of generals shouted, "I dare not bet money!"
Tang Xu clapped the table and said, "It's a bet, one hundred times!"
Everyone was stunned.
A general laughed and said, "Once you lose, your wife will drive you out of the house!"
Tang Xu scolded: "A certain one is right at home!"
Another general said with a smile: "It's the same for a certain person."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A group of 'tough guys' were laughing.
…
Winter is coming soon, and the work in Diezhou is gradually decreasing, and there are fewer pedestrians on the road.
Wang Dekai stood in front of the Governor's Mansion, looking up at the gloomy sky.
"Captain Governor." Don't drive Zhou Guo to come on horseback, and jump off the horse.
"Excellent equestrian skills!" Wang Dekai couldn't help but praise.
At this time, the civil servants serving in the frontier fortress are all proud of their superb riding skills and fighting skills. Whoever can be both civil and military is a hero in everyone's eyes. If you are powerless, you will be laughed at.
Zhou Guo approached and panted, "Commander, Bai Lan's side has cavalry crossing the border from time to time recently."
"How many people?" Wang Dekai asked as he entered.
"More than a hundred people." Zhou Guo said: "After encountering our army's rangers, they immediately retreated."
Wang Dekai stopped, "Is this the fourth time this month?"
"The governor has a good memory."
"This matter..." Wang Dekai turned around and asked, "Bai Lan is sandwiched between Datang and Tubo, do you think they dare to show their teeth at Datang?"
"Don't dare." Zhou Guo raised his eyebrows and said, "If they dare, then Datang will turn them into dust without hesitation."
"Then why?" Wang Dekai paced back and forth, and suddenly ordered: "Prepare the horses, get 300 cavalry to follow XX."
Zhou Guo was surprised, "What is the governor trying to do?"
Wang Dekai said indifferently: "Whether it's Bailan people or Tubo people, go and give them a surprise!"
Immediately the cavalry was mobilized and set off as if flying.
Diezhou has the most mountains, and it is rainy in autumn.
The drizzle fell on the horses and horses, shivering from the cold.
A few days later, Wang Dekai encountered a group of scouts.
"Captain, Bai Lan has hundreds of people crossing the border."
Wang Dekai took off his helmet, shook the water, and asked, "Infantry or cavalry?"
"Three hundred cavalry, hundreds of infantry."
This was not investigated clearly, Wang Dekai lashed the scout's armor with a whip, and cursed: "Dereliction of duty! Turn around and deal with it!"
The scout raised his head, "Take orders! Commander, so-and-so has gone."
Wang Dekai came, and the scouts automatically shifted to check for news in shifts. Immediately, hundreds of infantry came to meet and make peace.
"Be careful!"
Horseshoes sounded densely.
after one day.
More than a dozen scouts from the Tang Dynasty were galloping.
There are several mountains ahead, and the tops of the mountains are looming in the mist.
"There are discoveries ahead!"
The front scout yelled loudly, everyone reined in their horses and slowed down...
There is a road ahead, the scout dismounted to check, turned around and shouted: "There are dense traces of people and horses on the spun yarn."
This is the scout's detection method. Spread spun yarn on the only way to pass, and sweep it away, and the enemy soldiers and horses will be exposed when they pass by. This method of investigation is called Tuhe.
The leader of the scouts, Chen Han, the deputy, got off his horse and led everyone to check for traces.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "Seven or eight hundred!"
Everyone nodded, approving this judgment.
"go back!"
As soon as Chen Han was about to get on his horse, he fell on the ground and listened carefully with his ear on the ground.
Everyone immediately looked around.
"Dozens of rides, get on the horse!"
As soon as the scouts of the Tang army got on their horses, dozens of cavalry appeared in the distance.
"Walk!"
Everyone hit their horses and left.
Not long after, the enemy army behind gradually approached.
Chen Han glanced back, "Get ready for the crossbow!"
According to the configuration of the Tang army, ten crossbows match two, that is, there are two thousand crossbows for 10,000 people.
But scouts are different, naturally they are intensively configured.
The enemy army approached, Chen Han shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"
More than ten crossbow arrows flew and shot down six people.
The enemy continued to pursue.
After two rounds of crossbow arrows, Chen Han drew his sword: "Kill back!"
More than a dozen scouts went around in a circle and inserted one end into the waist of the enemy.
Chen Han rushed in first, and the enemy army who was facing him was stabbed head-on.
He raised his knife to block, and then slashed backhand with the long knife, making a big cut in the enemy's waist and ribs.
A long spear stabbed towards him, Chen Han twisted his waist more than a woman in a brothel, held the barrel of the gun with his left hand, and stabbed with his right.
He picked up his spear and rode his horse to haste.
Spear stabs a man, he is still accelerating...
The spear passed through the first person, and then through the second person again. At this moment, the spear was heavy, Chen Han let go of his hand, and the two riders fell to the ground with a loud crash.
He chopped down a person with a knife, and the front suddenly became clear.
But it has completely killed the enemy.
He raised his head suddenly, and the blood splashed on his face was scattered all over the sky.
"Tang men should be like this, hahahaha!"
Amidst the long laughter, Tang Jun left behind three corpses and walked away.
"quick!"
Chen Han hit the horse and galloped.
The morale of the enemy troops plummeted, but they immediately pursued again.
While galloping five miles one after the other, a banner was seen in front of them.
"The governor is here!"
The scouts are cheering.
The enemy behind slowed down and pointed in this direction.
Chen Han rushed over with people.
"Come to the side!" The pawns in front shouted loudly.
This means that the scouts are not allowed to disrupt the formation.
Chen Han rushed in from the side.
"Report!" He was blocked by two long knives. This is a wartime rule. There must be a security guarantee between the scout and the general to avoid being assassinated.
Chen Han said: "There are traces of the enemy army ahead, eight hundred people."
"Half step and half ride."
"Where did they go?" Wang Dekai was observing.
Chen Han pointed to the left side and said, "It should be the left side."
"It's interesting, I actually want to take a detour and attack from behind!"
"By the way, the governor." Chen Han said: "Those people... seem to be from Tubo."
Wang Dekai was not surprised, and said indifferently: "Last time when the Tuyuhun rebels attacked, the young man said that the Tubo people were restless, and I took it for granted, so I came here this time to see how his judgment is, and it is true!"
The last time Jia Pingan came to Diezhou, a series of means made Diezhou soldiers know the broom star for the first time. Wang Dekai even wrote a letter to Chaozhong, saying that Jia Pingan was entrusted to him, and he would be able to serve him in a few years. Datang trained a famous general embryo.
But Chaozhong scolded him, thinking of it very helplessly.
"Stop!"
Wang Dekai turned around and took a look, "This is Datang, the enemy doesn't dare to stay for long, prepare."
Before the words fell, the sound of horseshoes came from behind.
Hundreds of enemy cavalry came quickly, Wang Dekai smiled and said: "This is to attack our army, but I didn't expect our army to take precautions, line up!"
Three hundred pawns lined up in front.
"The enemy has stopped."
Wang Dekai said: "This is to rest the horsepower, wait for the pawns, and let the brothers rest."
The cavalry had already gone to the rear. According to the military law of the Tang Dynasty, before the battle, the cavalry was on the side or the rear, watching the infantry fighting and waiting for the general's order. It is rare for the cavalry to charge and kill as soon as the cavalry arrives.
The enemy infantry arrived, and someone shouted: "Captain, there are more than 800 people."
"The scouts have merit!" Wang Dekai's words made the scouts smile.
At this moment, joining the army to seek meritorious service is far more popular with Tang men than farming at home. Joining the army is a good way to make a fortune, and this concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The enemy army gathered, rested for a quarter of an hour, and then began to approach.
"There are more than four hundred enemy infantry..."
Wang Dekai had only 300 infantry under his command. He stared at the enemy and ordered: "The infantry shall fight."
"No!"
"The governor has an order, the infantry will fight!"
The infantry began to line up.
The crossbowman started preparations at the end.
Archers ready...
"One hundred and fifty steps... crossbow arrows... let go!"
The crossbow arrows flew over, and more than 20 enemy soldiers fell down.
"The enemy army begins to run."
Wang Dekai saw that the enemy infantry was running. This was a way to shorten the time when they were hit by the long-range crossbow of the Tang army.
The enemy cavalry followed slowly behind, which is also the tactics of the Tang army learned.
Infantry attack, win, cavalry attack. Defeated, the cavalry went up to cover up and block.
After several rounds of crossbow bolts were fired, the enemy army was approaching, but suffered heavy casualties.
Looking at this scene, Wang Dekai squinted his eyes and said: "When we were fighting with the Turkic army, our army used crossbow arrows to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, then the infantry fought, and finally the heavy cavalry charged. Kill... all the way to kill, there are corpses everywhere!"
"The enemy is twenty paces away, and the archers... shoot their arrows!"
After a round of bows and arrows, the archer quickly picked up the knife and stick and the crossbowmen who had been prepared a long time ago stepped forward to form an array. They lined up behind Mo Dao Shou and met the first wave.
There is no real archer, they are all part-time jobs.
And Dao is Mo Dao. Ever since Li Jing applied this thing to the battlefield on a large scale, the front line of the Datang array has always been shining with the light of Modao.
"Enemy assault!"
The team ahead is shouting. Behind each team stands the deputy team leader with a knife. Once a person who is afraid of the enemy is found, the team leader and the deputy team leader must kill him immediately. If not, then there will be the covetous captain standing behind him, he will make people kill the captain and deputy captain!
The enemy is approaching...
"kill!"
Mo Dao hands stand in a row, holding Mo Dao in front of the body with curved arms, the function of the curved arms is to stab!
Give an order, the Mo Dao hands straighten their arms, and stab forward with the sharp-edged Mo Dao.
Such a big knife stabbed forward, the force was heavy, and the enemy infantry in front fell down.
"kill!"
Mo Dao bent his arms and assassinated again.
Bending the arm, stabbing, retracting... This speed is very fast, but there is a flaw, it can't be done a few times with little strength.
Fifty Mo Dao stood in front of him, not retreating an inch.
Wang Dekai was observing the enemy army. When he saw that the enemy infantry suffered heavy casualties and the cavalry was about to move, he ordered: "Mo Dao is tired, you can retreat! Dancing, the horse army is ready."
The order was issued, and the follow-up jumping and cavalry were preparing... At this moment, the enemy cavalry was dispatched.
The general on the side looked at Wang Dekai, waiting for his new military order,
The enemy cavalry is dispatched, and the Mo Dao hand retreats, who will stop it?
"Modaoshou...don't move!"
Wang Dekai's order was cruel, but it was strictly carried out.
The enemy infantry dodged, and the cavalry rushed up.
"Get ready for jumping, and prepare for Ma Jun." Wang Dekai grinned grimly.
Mo Dao Shou...
All eyes were on them.
The Tang army was six hundred, and the enemy army was more than eight hundred.
Ahead, Fifty Mo Dao has no fear on his face.
The leader of the team, Huang Jing raised his sword and shouted vigorously: "Mo Dao Shou..."
The hoarse roar echoed on the battlefield.
Immediately.
Mo knives everywhere!
"There is no retreat!"
Mo Dao wields...
