Chapter 274 I am arrogant and arrogant

In Guangnian Town, Gao Yaxian looked in the direction of Shahewan, and at the end of his eyes, he didn't even see the shadow of the Tang army. At this time, it was noon, and the weather was hot, and the armor was a little hot in the sun.

Gao Yaxianbujin said impatiently: "Why haven't you come yet? Isn't Tang Jun afraid?"

In fact, when Chen Ying had already left the camp one hour ago, it was a pity that Liu Heita sent more than 100 teams of cavalry scouts, a total of thousands of people. However, these cavalry scouts were either killed by the cavalry and lances or captured by the Tang army. Chen Ying handed over the more than 300 captives of Xia army scouts, together with the troops under Su Dingfang's command, all of which were more than 600 people, to Su Dingfang, and appointed Su Dingfang as the cavalry lieutenant.

This cavalry lieutenant was a fourth-transfer military merit in the Tang army and was regarded as a sixth-rank military officer. It is said that Su Dingfang had not made any contribution to surrender, so he should not enjoy such treatment, but Chen Ying still gave him this treatment.

Su Dingfang was naturally very grateful. He worked hard for Liu Heita for more than a year, but now he is just an official title of Yunqiwei and is regarded as the seventh rank.

Liu Heita said in a deep voice: "They will definitely come!"

Gao Yaxian couldn't help asking, "But where are they?"

"It hasn't arrived yet, but..." Liu Heita said: "Chen Ying is especially good at field battles. The Fourth Order of the East Palace under his command should be the army that Tang Kingdom is best at field battles, and is much better than the Sixteen Guards!"

At this moment, Liu Heita suddenly thought of something: "Hurry up, back camp!"

Throughout history, we will definitely find that Dou Jiande is the person who is the best at special operations and surprise attacks in this era. In the 12th year of Daye, Dou Jiande faced Guo Xun, the main guard of Zhuozhou. Dou Jiande first sent a fake surrender to Guo Xun, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to defeat Guo Xuan, killing and capturing thousands of people, and obtaining more than a thousand war horses. Guo Xuan and dozens of people fled quietly and sent their generals to Pingyuan County. In the 13th year of Daye, Xue Shixiong, the general of the Zuoyi Guard, led 30,000 troops to attack Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande personally led more than 1,000 troops to attack Xue Shixiong, defeating Xue Shixiong in one fell swoop.

Dou Jiande's command of this strange soldier who is good at night war and sneak attacks and defeats more is the special forces of this era. The commander of this special forces is actually Liu Heita. After Liu Heita mastered this force, he made friends with heroes from all walks of life and spyed on the intelligence of various military separatist forces. He was also very good at observing the changes in the surrounding military situation. He was soon known for his "brave and treacherous". The so-called "treacherous" is to say, "treacherous". On the eve of Dou Jiande's preparation for military action, he always sent himself.

The special forces scattered and infiltrated the enemy's middle to spy on the truth and find fighter jets. These special forces either reported the enemy's clear evidence to the camp, or suddenly gathered together in the enemy, accidentally attacked the enemy's heads, and cooperated with the military confrontation on the outside, and often won a battle soon. He became famous because of this and "called brave". After Liu Heita rebelled, he also followed Dou Jiande's path in fighting, pretending to retreat, and the elite attacked to establish the victory in one fell swoop.

The Tang Army Camp in Shahewan is only more than thirty miles away from Guangnian Town. This distance can be reached in one hour for the army under Chen Ying's command. However, almost two hours have passed and he has not even seen the shadow of the Tang army. Liu Heita naturally thought of another skill of Chen Ying.

Chen Ying and Liu Heita were actually both on the same road, and they seized the opportunity to defeat the enemy with one move.

However, Liu Heita actually thought it was a bad idea.

In order to intimidate the heroes and heroes from all walks of life, Chen Ying broke their last fantasy and made them feel in their hearts that the Tang army was something they could not defeat, so Chen Ying did not play tricks with Liu Heita at all.

Chen Ying just used the cavalry and cavalry lances to remove all the cavalry and scouts under Liu Heita, with the purpose of creating an illusion for Liu Heita that he might sneak attack Liu Heita's rear and asked Liu Heita to transfer his elite troops to the rear camp to prepare to ambush Chen Ying's strange soldiers.

A large number of scouts and elite Shooting Army soldiers were transferred to the rear camp by Liu Heita to prevent Chen Ying from attacking. In order to defend the rear camp, he not only ordered Wang Xiaohu to lead more than 10,000 troops under Zhao Xidao, the general manager of Zhaozhou, but also ordered Dong Kangmai to stay in the central army camp and could support Wang Xiaohu at any time.

Until the three hours of the morning (equivalent to nearly two o'clock in the later generations), Liu Heita felt something was wrong and a large number of scouts were released. At this time, Liu Heita received the news.

Chen Ying's army was burying a pot to make rice in the grass market ten miles away.

In fact, this news is also outdated. Chen Ying started to stop the marching as early as noon and was resting. The Tang army's head army began to build pots and cook rice. The weather was hot, and the Tang army soldiers wore thick armor and sweated a lot, and were prone to lack of water. Therefore, Chen Ying not only ordered the head army to prepare delicious food, but also gave all the soldiers a large pot of mung bean soup and salt water so that the soldiers could relieve the heat.

Liu Heita was also waiting for a dry mouth at this time. When he heard the news, he couldn't help but feel depressed. Liu Heita ordered helplessly: "Each army will make meals immediately!"

But when Liu Heita's order had just been sent to the head army, the head army of the head army of Xia poured Li Mi into the pot and boiled hot water. At this time, the scout came to report again: "Report to the Duke of Dong of Han that Chen Ying's army has set off and can reach the battlefield within a quarter of an hour!"

After receiving this news, Liu Heita couldn't help but fool him by his 10,000 grass mud horses.

Too despicable.

In a quarter of an hour, the Xia army's war meal was not good at all. It took at least two quarters of an hour to cook, and it took at least half an hour to finish the meal for the entire army.

Liu Heita ordered helplessly: "The head army continued to make meals, and ordered the entire army to defeat the enemy. After I defeated the enemy, I will reward the three armies, each of whom would give half a pound of meat and a liter of wine!"

The Xia army soldiers, who were originally hungry, felt even hungry when they heard the wine and meat.

Chen Yingke did not care about how the Xia army soldiers felt. He just continued to march step by step. As the Tang army soldiers got closer and closer to the Xia army vanguard, the Tang army soldiers brought great psychological pressure to the Xia army soldiers.

The hook and sickle lances of the Tang army rank in the front of the regiment, galloping on tall war horses and strangling the Xia army's whistle cavalry with hook and sickle spear.

This is the first time that Liu Heita has personally experienced the combat power of these mysterious black-clad knights. These guys are stuck on the horse's back, and no matter how the war horses bump, they can't move at all. Their gunman is very superb. They often cut the Xia army's scouts into two pieces with a swing of a sickle. The Xia army's scouts are also the best among the hundreds of thousands of Xia army, but compared with these black-armored cavalry, there is a big gap in the quality, equipment, skills and tactics of the war horses, and they are all defeated or killed on the spot.

Obviously, these fierce black knights wanted to suppress the Xia army's power and control the entire battlefield completely. Liu Heita was also experienced in many battles. He only took a look and understood the situation on the battlefield: "In this outpost battle, his scouts were at a disadvantage!"

Liu Heita stared at the backs of the black-clad knights, and a look of worry flashed across his eyebrows: "This is Chen Ying's army, it's true? It's okay if you're extremely superb riding skills, but your equipment is so well-equipped. I'm afraid this battle is not easy to fight..."

Gao Yaxian looked at Liu Heita with a serious expression and said, "This enemy army is not weak. Their scouts are not as good as the most elite Turkish warriors, and they can even reach the level of the former Sui Xiaoguo Army..."

Song Zhengben frowned: "Are they really that strong?"

Gao Yaxian said: "There is no exaggeration!"

Liu Heita glanced at the dozen cannons and smiled grimly: "So what if it is strong? The Xiaoguo Army is also defeated by our brothers. No matter how strong they are, can they be stronger than our stone cannons?"

The Xia army soldiers laughed proudly. It was not that the Xia army had not fought hard battles. The toughest battle was to fight Yu Wenji's Xiaoguo Army for elites with old foundations. When Dou Jiande was fighting Yu Wenji, he found that Yu Wenji and his Xiaoguo Army were extremely well-equipped. They were wearing iron armor, just like the shields in the hands of soldiers were also wrapped in iron sheets. Even if they were strong crossbows, the Xia army troops with poor equipment suffered a great loss when they first fought.

However, Dou Jiande then used the modified catapult, which was extremely exquisite and very convenient. In fact, Dou Jiande installed the catapult fixed to the ground with two wheels, so that soldiers could push it away. It was extremely convenient to move. When it was necessary to launch, he just needed to smash a few plugs into the ground, fix the catapult to the ground, and then adjust the launch angle.

When Chen Ying refused Dou Jiande at Hulao Pass, Dou Jiande wanted to use this method to fight Chen Ying's Mo Dao Army. Unfortunately, Chen Ying was stationed on Paomaling at that time and was condescending to let the Xia army's catapult take a back shot, and the power was greatly reduced.

The key is that if Chen Ying threw stones below the mountain, it would be even more labor-saving than a catapult, and the effect could be even better than a catapult. Dou Jiande then gave up the idea of ​​attacking Paomaling.

Through years of battles, the Xia army has grown into an extremely powerful brigade. In particular, the stone artillery technique has advanced rapidly. Since the rebellion, it has fought with the Sui army or other anti-king troops many times. Every time it uses stone artillery to knock the enemy over. They firmly believe that their artillery is the strongest. No matter how strong the Tang army is, it will be defeated under their fierce artillery fire, and will eventually be wiped out by them in one fell swoop!

More than 300 cavalrymen with hook and sickle were enough to shock the Xia army soldiers, but as the Tang army slowly approached, the sound of horse hooves was loud at this time. More than 10,000 cavalry slowly rushed towards the Xia army formation. A large group of cavalry appeared in the sight of the Xia army soldiers.

These cavalrymen were wearing black armor and steel helmets. The armor was made of large steel plates, which were very different from the bright light armor commonly used by the Tang army. They looked heavy. Such a pair of armor would probably weigh about ten pounds. The helmet was a heavy lump of iron, and the black helmet tassel made of a ponytail flew wildly in the wind.

Of course, the most scary thing is the hook and sickle spear in their hands, which is 100 feet long and the head of the gun is three feet long. The cold light is dazzling and the cold air is impressing. Looking at the hook and sickle spears that are raised up straight and the gun rods are slightly trembling as the horses gallop, the Xia army generals all gasped in a deep breath.

The shape of the hook and sickle spear is more intimidating than an ordinary spear, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there are five or six thousand human-shaped iron cans in their army. Modao has always been the symbol of the general family at this time. Only generals with great backgrounds are qualified to use it. They all have one!

All the soldiers of the army were wearing heavy armor, a pair of armor of about 200 stagnants, and each one was one. What a ghost army, it was so arrogant!

After arriving at the battlefield, the main force of the Tang army did not rush to attack the Xia army's formation, but slowly advanced and maintained a distance of about 500 steps from the Xia army's formation. This distance made Liu Heita very uncomfortable. He wanted to open the stone cannon, but the distance was too far and could not hit. Send cavalry to rush, which was intimidated by the opponent's momentum. He was worried that the cavalry would suffer too much, so he was a little undecided for a moment.

Chen Ying said carelessly: "Liu Heita, if you have eggs, come out and speak!"
