Chapter 289 Confidence
In Liang Jianfang's view, to train generals, you have to expose them to blood.
What is seeing blood?
It is to let them ponder and understand the art of war during the fight.
So when he brought Jia Pingan with him, he didn't give him a good look along the way.
He was watching the young man.
Zuo Yuhou's army was the forward of the army when they marched, and Jia Ping'an led his subordinates to do a good job of scouting.
During the fight, he deliberately left Jia Pingan in the front and let him face more than a thousand enemy cavalry alone, but he was worried in his heart, thinking about the time to rush for reinforcements.
But Jia Pingan never let him down.
And this time he asked Jia Pingan to intercept Zhu Xie's lonely bet, which was a gamble.
Once it fails, Zhu Xie will be able to flank his army.
But... Lao Liang is Lao Liang.
In his words, if you don’t dare to entrust young people with any heavy responsibility, when will they be able to take care of themselves?
How old was Li Jicai? Become a big boss of one party, independently face the attacks of all parties, and remain undisturbed.
Where can a famous player come from without experience?
The famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, including Liang Jianfang, were all killed in countless fights in the founding of the country.
When the army no longer kills, there will be no more famous generals.
So he took the risk of throwing Jia Pingan over the mountain pass, but he kept thinking about it.
He worried that Jia Ping'an would be defeated.
It's nothing more than a defeat, the young man is stubborn, and he is afraid that he will try his best to stop him, and then he will be defeated and die.
He appeared calm, but he was anxious in his heart.
When I saw Jia Ping'an, a wave of joy surged up.
The old man was right!
Jia Ping'an really defeated Zhu Xie's lonely bet.
But someone is exclaiming, "That's a human head!"
Whose head is eligible to be hung on the flagpole?
Only the enemy general.
"It's Zhu Xie's lonely bet!"
Gao Deyi was cheering, "Damn, the old man said to protect his back, but he killed Zhu Xie Guzhu."
Liang Jianfang also saw the head.
"Zhu Xie Gu bet!"
He couldn't help laughing, "He actually killed Zhu Xie Guzhu? The old man was right, right!"
"General, they are going to the enemy's flank."
The enemy army was attacking the Tang army's array in an all-round way, and hundreds of cavalry led by Jia Ping'an inserted in from the side.
It was like a third party appeared when two men and women were in love with each other, and the enemy was caught off guard.
The flank was broken through instantly.
Zhu Xiegu's head was hung on the flagpole, and he looked at the helpless and dazed scene of Ashina Helu's subordinates with blank eyes.
"Repel them!" Ashina Helu roared: "This is the usual cavalry assault of the Tang army. They must be repelled, otherwise..."
There is nothing else.
When the formation is disturbed, it is the time of collapse.
Ashina Helu dispatched the elite around him to counterattack.
"Withdraw!"
Jia Ping'an led his army to retreat, and the enemy was stunned.
But their formation is a bit messy.
Liang Jianfang keenly seized the opportunity, "Follow me."
He rushed out from the middle with hundreds of cavalry.
Just one shock, and the enemy retreats.
But the enemy army obviously did not collapse. The follow-up enemy army gave way to the passage, allowing the rout troops to retreat, and at the same time staring at Liang Jianfang's cavalry.
"Withdraw!"
Liang Jianfang retreated in style, just in time to meet Jia Pingan who came back.
"here you go!"
Liang Jianfang said with a smile: "The timing of this charge is not bad. What's even better is that you are all tired soldiers, but you pretended to be an elite charge. You frightened Ashina Helu at once, gave the old man a chance to attack, and successfully repelled the attack." This wave of offensive."
Jia Pingan cupped his hands, "The lower officials are exhausted, and they really need to be repaired as the general said."
Gao Deyi was waiting in front, and when he saw him coming, he hugged him off the horse without saying a word.
"The old man said to guard your back, but in the end it was you who repelled the enemy's attack, ashamed."
Gao Deyi's eyes were full of appreciation, "How was this battle fought? Tell me."
At this moment, the enemy army retreated, and the Tang army hurriedly repaired. Some people ate food, some people checked their weapons, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.
Jia Pingan talked about his experience in this battle.
When it comes to leading the cavalry assault, everyone can't help but stare.
This is Datang's method of warfare. When the situation is critical or the enemy army is in chaos, the general will lead the cavalry to charge and defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop.
"This is Emperor Taizong's art of war, and we have continued to this day." Liang Jianfang praised: "You can lead an army into battle, this is the appearance of a famous general. If you can kill Zhu Xiegu, old man..."
He really thought of his granddaughter at home.
"What a Jia Ping'an!" Gao Deyi said loudly: "It's a pity that we are fighting at this moment, otherwise we should take credit for it."
To invite credit is to repay victory.
Liang Jianfang smiled and said, "Why not?"
Gao Deyi patted his forehead, "This is a morale booster, but the old man made a mistake."
In an instant, the results of Jia Ping'an's battle were spread to all armies.
"Victory!"
Amidst the cheers, Jia Pingan looked ahead calmly.
This is just the beginning.
From the very beginning, he knew that he had to find a sense of belonging on the battlefield.
Datang’s campaign was long, almost starting from the founding of the country, and continued until its demise, without ever stopping.
The opponents are constantly changing from the Turks, Tubo, Goryeo, Western Regions, big cannibals...even Nanzhao.
This is Datang who faces countless opponents.
But this Great Tang is very lucky to have an invincible lion at this moment, and has countless famous generals.
At this time, Datang cannot be defeated.
Only one big defeat is enough to lose Datang's psychological advantage.
So Cheng Zhijie was severely punished after the conquest of Ashina Helu was unfavorable, and he returned home.
And Xue Rengui was demoted to a commoner after the defeat of Dafeichuan.
These are living examples.
When Xuanzong followed, the Tang Dynasty defeated Heng Luosi, which was the afterglow of the empire and a wake-up call. But Xuanzong still enjoyed singing and dancing.
Ge Luolu people became traitors, but there is no doubt that the Tang army at that time was far away from the mainland, and it was a risk every time.
Big cannibal.
That formidable opponent, they still come to Chang'an every few years, claiming to pay tribute.
Everyone rejoices in the surrender from afar. Only Jia Pingan knows that the big cannibal has been coveting the East and actively interfering in the situation in the Western Regions.
The Western Regions is full of forces, how difficult is it to figure it out?
Not to mention that the opponent Tubo broke the blockade of Datang and marched to the Western Regions, which put great pressure on Datang.
All of this is in Jia Pingan's mind.
This Tang Dynasty will definitely not be like this!
He looked up, and the enemy army in front of him was forming a team.
Ashina Helu was yelling.
"That incompetent Zhu Xie was desperate, more than 10,000 people were defeated by a thousand Tang troops, and he was defeated and died. It's fine for him to die, but what should we do now?"
He was originally a suspicious character. In history, Su Dingfang led more than ten thousand troops. Ashina Helu felt that he would surely win with the crowd, so he dared to charge forward with his army, but was defeated by Su Dingfang, and then there was a long pursuit.
The generals under his command were talking in a hurry.
"Khan, the Tang army is just those people. After defeating them, there will be no obstacles in front of us. Let's go to Tingzhou. When the Tang people learn that the army has been destroyed, they must be flustered. Let's take advantage of the situation and make a big splash. The surrounding tribes who surrendered to the Tang people will immediately go to defect..."
This is a glittering plan.
Ashina Helu's eyes were full of hesitation.
Historically, he relied on this hesitation to escape the pursuit of Liang Jianfang and Cheng Zhijie.
"Khan, if you retreat..."
Ashina Helu looked at those soldiers, and his heart was excited.
"If the 10,000 Tang troops let us retreat, the soldiers will be panicked."
The teams of later generations will be afraid when they see certain teams, and they can use 50 to 60% of the original cost. But the opponent saw that they were afraid, and they were extremely relaxed, and they could do 120% of all things, so they played relaxed and freehand.
This kind of fear has lasted for decades, so that it has become a demon.
And if He Lu faces 10,000 Tang troops and chooses to retreat, the consequence will be that the army will be demoralized.
He gritted his teeth and said, "This time, let's divide the troops. Go around from the left and right, and break up the Tang army."
The general under his command said: "Khan, this will certainly disperse the Tang army, but our army will also disperse. If the Tang army takes the opportunity to launch an assault..."
This is what Tang Jun is best at. If you divide your troops, you will die.
Damn it!
Ashina Helu is full of worries.
Someone said: "Then how about...we use a small group of troops to harass them, two or three thousand is enough, and give them a shot from the flank. If they move, our main force will take the opportunity to attack. If they don't move, the flank will always be a threat."
"Wonderful!" Ashina Helu looked at this person and praised: "If you win this battle, you will be the first."
Immediately, three thousand cavalry circled around from the right.
"Strike!"
Ashina Helu shouted: "This battle must defeat the Tang army, fight all the way to Tingzhou, and loot all the way!"
Hearing about the looting, the enemy soldiers were all excited.
Thinking about the Turks in the past, how awesome it was, but since being defeated by the Tang people, life can be called Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as every year. Now it has been reduced to the point of looting.
Liang Jianfang on the opposite side didn't even look at the enemy horses on the flanks, and said: "If you get close, give a wave of crossbow arrows."
Sabi, 3,000 cavalry dared to come and attack, and they didn't look at the elites of Datang who were armed to the teeth.
"Shoot the arrow!"
A wave of arrows rained, and the enemy troops on the flanks left a pile of corpses and withdrew in desperation.
If you want to attack from the flanks, if you have less than 5,000 people, don't come out to embarrass yourself.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Both sides contacted.
Jia Ping'an led his subordinates to repair.
He ate hot dry biscuits and drank cold water, his teeth were numb from the cold.
No one spoke, Li Jingye sat beside him, eating bite by bite, as if he had been hungry for three days and three nights.
He sniffed, then suddenly opened his mouth and vomited.
"But you were injured?" Jia Ping'an's heart tightened, and he asked quickly.
"Human blood stinks too much." Li Jingye continued to vomit.
Jia Ping'an's head is full of black lines.
Co-author, you have been killing people for a few days, and now you feel that human blood stinks?
"Keep eating!" Jia Pingan patted him on the back, then got up and went to the front.
"It's not time for you to fight yet." Liang Jianfang said coldly, "Wait."
Well, squat.
Jia Pingan watched Lao Liang's command at close range.
"The enemy has broken through."
"Press it back!" Liang Jianfang didn't move a muscle, not even his eyes.
"The enemy flank is coming again."
"Crossbow arrows."
Fighting repeatedly ahead, Liang Jianfang remained motionless.
He suddenly ordered, "Cavalry mount."
Equipped cavalry usually cannot ride on horseback for a long time, otherwise the horse will not be able to carry it.
When the cavalry of the Tang army got on their horses, the enemy panicked and the attack rhythm was chaotic.
"Prepare..." Ashina Helu was preparing to meet the impact of the Tang cavalry.
…
people?
The cavalry of the Tang army dismounted.
Damn it!
Ashina Helu was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils.
Co-author, he was played by Liang Jianfang.
The enemy soldiers also felt aggrieved, so they shouted and charged.
"Get on the horse!"
The cavalry mounted their horses again.
Again?
Ashina Helu just wanted to yell, when someone said: "The attack ahead has slowed down!"
He looked up, and saw that the strangling places of both sides were in a mess at the moment, but it was Datang's Mo Dao who came up.
"kill!"
After vomiting, Li Jingye sneaked into the Modao team still carrying the Modao. The team was looking at him and wanted to kick him out, but some people said that this was the grandson of the British Duke.
That's all.
Different from the past, it is normal for the generals of the Tang Dynasty to send their children to the front line of the army. It is an offense if you don’t let their children go to fight.
When Li Jingye swung the knife, the team was stunned.
The enemy cavalry in front of him was stabbed twice by him, and the horse was so frightened that it stood up, blocking the way of the following enemy cavalry.
But Li Jingye took a step forward impatiently...
Gannie Niang!
The team is getting angry. "return!"
In the army, there are limits to advancing and retreating, and to violate orders is to seek death.
But Li Jingye only took one step, and his purpose was to kill the enemy cavalry behind him.
This knife cut in from the shoulder and came out from the waist on the other side, and half of the enemy army fell off the horse obliquely like this.
"This is so **** good! It's fierce!" The captain couldn't help but be full of praise.
The opportunity has come.
Liang Jianfang turned around and said, "Zuoyu Houjun."
"General." Jia Ping'an was waiting for the opportunity.
Liang Jianfang looked at him, a look of relief flashed in his eyes, "Follow the old man."
"Take command!"
Jia Pingan got on his horse and gathered the remaining dozens of horsemen under his command.
Ahead, the enemy army is in chaos.
This battle started from showing the enemy weak, and ended when the 10,000 Tang troops withstood the impact of tens of thousands of enemy cavalry, and then came the decisive battle.
Jia Pingan remembered the Battle of Hengluosi, when the Tang Dynasty’s tens of thousands of troops were in the hinterland of the enemy’s country, facing the siege of the army, they were still not afraid, and finally broke out.
This is Datang!
Liang Jianfang raised his head slightly and raised his horse.
"Victory! Victory! Victory!"
Amidst the cheers, Liang Jianfang rushed out first.
As long as you rush to kill, the master will rush to the forefront.
This is Datang's tactics.
Before seeing a battle formation, Jia Pingan felt that this method of warfare was outdated, and planned strategies for the generals. But when he saw the enemy army who couldn't see the side at a glance, he knew he was wrong.
To defeat the strong with the weak, the leader must take the lead.
More than 900 cavalry rushed into the middle of the enemy army.
"kill!"
Both sides shouted and fought.
Liang Jianfang rushed forward, and when he had accumulated his strength for a long time, he was invincible.
The cavalry behind them took advantage of the trend to expand the impact circle.
"kill!"
The pawns launched an attack without losing the opportunity.
Messed up!
Ashina Helu shouted: "Suppress the front! Hold down Tang Jun."
He is a warrior after all, and he knows that he cannot retreat now, otherwise he will be defeated.
But the only way is to block the cavalry of the Tang army.
"Go! Go!" He sent out all the elite around him.
"Who is that?"
Liang Jianfang rushed forward, no one can be an enemy.
"It's Liang Jianfang!"
How old is it?
He has been suppressed all the time, those famous generals lead troops to fight, he can only make small troubles.
Clay figurines also have earthy nature!
Today is the moment when he explodes.
The horse spear pierced the enemy's chest, and then pulled it out with force, and the gun shaft made of Zhe wood rebounded instantly.
The rebounding horse lance was easily swung to the right by Liang Jianfang. Before an enemy could react, his neck was cut open by the long lance blade.
Then the horse spear swept across, and an enemy blocked with a long knife, but how could it be blocked...
The horse lance is difficult to build, and because of the high elasticity of the Zhe wood gun shaft, it is even more daunting for ordinary people.
This kind of thing is like a meteor hammer, you can't practice it well for ordinary people.
"Kill Liang Jianfang and reward him with a thousand bills!"
Ashina Helu went crazy and offered a huge reward.
Enemy Hedgehog Set.
The infantry were rushing desperately, the archers kept following and shooting arrows, and the jumping soldiers also rushed up.
There are fighting sounds everywhere.
Underfoot the corpses of the enemy soldiers, or the corpses of fellow soldiers, stepping on the pool of blood and wielding knives, everything you see is killing, and what you smell at the end of your nose is blood...
"This is hell!"
This was the first time Jia Pingan saw such a big battle, and he couldn't help trembling all over.
He was excited.
Ashina Helu was right in front of the left, and Liang Jianfang led his men to chisel through it.
The enemy army was desperately trying to intercept, but Jia Pingan suddenly led his subordinates to kill from the oblique stab.
The original defensive formation was messed up.
Liang Jianfang turned around and took a look, and shouted, "Kill He Lu!"
Jia Ping'an knew that he was going to be punished when he turned around, but he ignored it and shouted: "He Lu is dead! He Lu is dead!"
Tang Jun cheered, He Lu was confused, but his subordinates who didn't know the truth were in chaos.
"Khan!"
That old thief Liang Jianfang was so ruthless that it made people tremble.
There is also a side teacher who rushed out of the formation and killed him from the side.
If you don't run...you won't be able to run.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Ashina Helu turned around and ran, someone shouted: "Retreat!"
This is not called a retreat, this is a rout!
In an instant, the enemy army showed a tendency to be defeated.
"The enemy is defeated!"
The Tang army was agitated, except for the men and horses guarding the luggage, the whole army launched a hunt.
The army was defeated like a mountain!
Jia Ping’an’s later generations read history books, which recorded that a certain general in the Tang Dynasty led two hundred cavalry to charge and defeated tens of thousands of enemy troops. At that time, he thought it was a bit false.
But when he personally experienced this battle, all doubts disappeared.
Looking at those Tang troops, one-on-three were full of self-confidence, and even rushed forward with a grinning grin, and took the initiative to attack.
Look at Li Jingye, sweeping around with a Mo Dao.
Look at the pawns behind, no one has ever been afraid.
He remembered.
Looking at the history books of later generations, the Tang army almost always wins more with less.
Why?
Why?
Jia Ping'an was distracted.
"Join the Army!"
A cavalryman on the side swung a knife to block him, and then cut the enemy off his horse with a knife.
The cavalryman rushed up without hesitation when he saw that more than ten people in front of him surrounded a comrade.
One dozen ten...
He did not hesitate.
The two Tang troops joined forces inside and outside, killing more than a dozen enemies, and the rest fled desperately.
Jia Ping'an suddenly realized.
There is no reason.
If you really want to find a reason, it is...
"confidence!"
Battle on the battlefield is just a microcosm.
This nation has fallen several times.
But it has a splendid culture, countless admirable ancestors, and an unyielding spirit. They can cultivate and create prosperity with their heads down, and they can also raise their heads to kill enemies and shock the world... All these make them extremely confident!
Such a nation, when it regains its self-confidence, is not afraid of any opponent at all!
…
Ask for votes.
