Chapter 64 Modao Battle Axe Camp

Murong Chunhua received the order and quickly detoured back to the city from the northwest small gate. Hornard also requested to enter the city. Murong Chunhua said, "You also enter the city, who will guard this Nanyuan Xiaoyi?" He ignored Hornard and secretly complained, and had already led the Tang army back.

The sound of horse hooves gradually became noticeable by the experts from the ground, and everyone could hear them. The Tang army and thousands of people were in their positions, looking at the eastward direction, and finally saw a group of cavalry running near the front, with about 300 cavalry, each of them was covered in dust and could not see clearly when they were far away. However, judging from the speed of the horses running, the group of soldiers was obviously very tired, and it was already at the end of their strength to arrive nearby.

Murong Chunhua judged that the group of cavalry came so fast and walked so fast, in order to seize Melki. He ruled: "This army must be a certain distance from the Uighurs' follow-up troops. If they ambushed with soldiers, they might be able to achieve a great victory." Yang Yi said: "I'll go!" He handed over the command of the city to Murong Chunhua, and led two hundred light cavalry, lying on the inside of the city gate, and attacked at any time.

The cavalry saw that they had approached, and the Nanyuan Xiaoyi stopped. The head of the city of Mörki was also quiet. The leader of the cavalry suddenly raised his hand, and three hundred cavalry rode his horse together. The general was stunned for a while when he looked at the city head, but instead retreated with an arrow and sent two cavalry to the city to shout: "Gasu, General Holland is here, come to the city to obey the order!"

Murong Chunhua sighed inwardly and thought to himself: "This Uighur general is so alert!" Seeing that the surprise attack was impossible, he ordered the Tang army soldiers to appear together. Murong Chunhua smiled at the top of the city and said, "Talas, Julan City, all belong to my Anxi Tang army. I am Murong Chunhua, the deputy commander of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the Special Envoy Zhang, and I say hello to Bograhanduoduo."

The two cavalrymen were shocked and hurried back to report. After hearing this, the Uighur general pulled his horse and looked at Mierji. The Tang army soldiers on the top of the city shouted together: "The Tang Dynasty is mighty! The Tang army is mighty!" The Uighur general sighed and led his troops back.

Seeing that he had not planned to plot against the other party, Yang Yi ordered people to call Hornard into the city and asked, "I seem to have heard of this Holland, but what kind of person is he?"

"Although this man stuttered, he was Bograhan's beloved general." Hornard said: "His status was originally comparable to Sekan, and his closest friends were more than him. After the Battle of Edan, Bograhan beat him twenty whips and demoted him, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had not lost trust in Horan, and still let him lead his personal soldiers."

After hearing that Holland had such a status, Murong Chunhua sent Hornard away first, and then said to Yang Yi: "It's so dangerous! With Holland's status, there will never be only 300 subordinates. He will definitely be here for hundreds of miles a day and keep falling behind and ignore it in the middle of the way, in order to steal Melki. This man is so alert that if he is allowed to arrive Melki one day earlier, our overall plan will be ruined."

Immediately sent additional envoys to report to the rear. When the envoy arrived at Julan City, An Shoujing was already in the city. It turned out that Guo Shiyong, An Shoujing set out first, and heard that Yang Yi did not take off his chin and went straight to Julan City. Guo Shiyong said to An Shoujing: "Ayi must have taken the risk of taking the merits, and we must step up reinforcements."

The two immediately agreed that An Shoujing would lead three hundred light cavalry to go straight to Julan City. Guo Shiyong commanded Yu Zhong to drive along the way. The lord of Julan City fled and the people were in panic. On that day, Yang Yi sent only two teams into the city, and no one dared to resist. Soon An Shoujing arrived one after another, and An Shoujing would send reinforcements to Murki. Guo Shiyong asked the envoy about Murki's situation and said, "This mountain city is very small, and there are too many soldiers and horses, which is not good." He only dispatched 300 soldiers and civilians to cook the miscellaneous items in the city so that the soldiers of the Third Zhechong Mansion would guard the city wholeheartedly. He also sent all the four teams left by Yang Yi along the way, and asked the Uhu tribe to set up a temporary post along the way to ensure smooth news.

When Yang Yi and Murong Chunhua heard that Guo Shiyong and An Shoujing had already occupied the city of Julan, they felt at ease. The distance between Julan City and Mierki was even more likely to be seen, but the road was a mountain road, which was not easy to walk.

Soon after Zhang Mai stabilized the Western Front, he led the First Zhechong Mansion and the Civil Affairs Department to arrive, and there were only less than a thousand families left in Julan City, which seemed empty. Zhang Mai ordered Zheng Hao to appease the rest of the city. Zheng Han searched everywhere in the city, but could not find his enemies or his sister-in-law.

When Li Bin heard about Yang Yizhi's defeat of Mörki and blocking the spring, he cheered loudly and said, "In this way, we have another 20% chance of winning!"

He took out a rough map drawn on the road and said, "Satuk wants to return to the army, and there are two ways. One is to come through Melki. The terrain of this road is narrow, and the city of Melki is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's hand it over to Yang Duwei. The other is to detour the desert on the northern foot of the Julan Mountains. This road is wide and suitable for cavalry running, but there is also a difficulty, that is, the lack of water and food along the way. If Satuk comes from the east road, Melki is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he comes from the north road, as long as we can withstand his thunder strike, Melki can dispatch light cavalry to harass Satuk's food route and the rear."

Since the last time Julan City was captured by the Tang army, Sekan has helped the Tang army to clear the fields. He now assigned city defense, with Guo Shiyong guarding the west gate, An Shoujing guarding the south gate, and Zhang Mai guarding the east gate. When Xi Sheng saw that Satuk had not arrived for a while, he came to see Zhang Mai and said, "Encourt, can we form a Modao and Battle Axe Camp?"

"Modao Battle Axe Camp?" Zhang Mai knew that Xi Sheng himself was also a good Modao player.

"Yes." Xi Sheng said: "Our army has been expanding in the past few months, and veterans have been sent to lead the team. Because these wars have been dominated by light cavalry surprise attacks, heavy infantry is rarely used in concentrated use, and Modao's hands are dispersed. There are 180 Modao in our army, 25 in Longxiang Base Camp, and I originally had fifteen under my command. I brought it to the First Zhechong Mansion. An Duwei has eighty under his command, and the original Feixiong Camp has fifty in his own team. This time I went out.

When the trip was released, the Great Protector thought that this team of Modao Hands was more useful in placing it on the side of the Julan City, and I had brought it to me. There were also ten Modao Hands under the command of the Old Commander Guo, and 180 Modao Hands were actually in the Julan City. These people are all good men in the army. They are not only good at using Modao, but they are leading troops or temporarily changing to cavalry. They have not fulfilled their strengths. But if these 180 people are gathered together and formed a battalion, they may have a miraculous effect when fighting against the city!"

Zhang Mai was moved when he heard this and invited Guo Shiyong and An Shoujing to discuss it. Both of them agreed and pulled out the 180 soldiers from the soldiers of the country. All of them were veterans, some of whom had already become the commander of the team and the deputy captain, but they were ordered to form a battalion at this time.

An Shoujing said: "There are only 180 people, and the power has not yet appeared. Modao is difficult to cast. You can use 120 strong men of the battle axe to form a battalion." He is also a master of Modao. When Zhang Mai first met Modao, he relied on his performance. In the past few months, Zhang Mai, Yang Yi and others used the power of the light cavalry when they went out to fight. He often thought that although the advantages of the light cavalry must be strengthened, the tradition of heavy infantry in the Tang Dynasty should not be lost. In addition, he is a master of Modao. Anyone who is proficient in one art must be obsessed with this skill. Therefore, during the battle, he always thought about how to restore the construction of the Modao Army in the Tang Dynasty.

There are two major difficulties in rebuilding the Modao Army. One is that it is difficult to build a Modao Army, and the other is that it is difficult to get a Modao Hand.

The first difficulty is a problem of technology and resources. The Tang army, who has been in marching and fighting all the time in the past few months, obviously does not have the conditions to continue to build Modao, and it is too late to build it. Therefore, An Shoujing wanted to replace it with similar weapons. In the past few months, he carefully paid attention to every time the Tang army seized the spoils. Whenever he obtained the battle axe and killed the horse, he tried to ask the Cangcao to take it out of military service, or reform it. Now he has accumulated a total of more than 200 battle axes and more than 100 long swords. These are also heavy weapons. When it comes to sharpness, they cannot be compared with Modao. Moreover, both infantry heavy weapons are used, which are relatively short weapons and light weapons appear inflexible. The battle axes are obviously much thicker and more muscular than Modao. However, in the absence of regular weapons, training the strong soldiers with similar weapons is also a second-rate way to settle for it.

Modao is a unique weapon of the Tang army, but heavy axes are a major system of cold weapons. There are many such things in the armies of civilizations in the world, but the standards are different, so tomahawk weapons are easier to obtain than Modao.

The second difficulty is the quality of soldiers. Since the training of soldiers in the Dingxia Valley, An Shoujing has already discussed this issue with Guo Shidao and Zhang Mai. He has registered all the strong men in the army and took time to train them. However, during this period of time, it was not until Xi Sheng proposed that the idea of ​​gathering Mo Dao Hand and Tomahawks was implemented.

After the Tang army reached an agreement, the action was extremely rapid. In just half a day, the organization was solved and the Modao Battlefury Battalion was formed, with Xi Sheng as the captain of the Modao Camp, Liu Heihu as the deputy captain, and An Shoujing as the general instructor. During the training, the Modao Battlefury Battalion was supervised by An Shoujing, and when it comes to combat organization, it still belongs to the first Zhechong Mansion. This is a small step taken by the Tang army in Anxi to begin to separate the power of military command and military use.

When Nair Shahi arrived at Julan City under the escort of the Tang army, he happened to see the Modao and Battle Axe Camp training outside the city. Zhang Mai had sent Abul to greet his father, but he had not sent anyone to monitor to show his trust.

When the father and son met, Nair Shahi touched his youngest son's hair and asked why he had suffered in the Tang army during this period.

Abre said: "It's not particularly hard, but you have to follow the marches. My son is young and can still stand it." He whispered: "The Tang army originally had strict restrictions on me, but as they won one after another, the freedom I gave me became greater and greater."

Nair Shahi nodded slightly and said, "There is this change, first, you have been in their army for a long time, and your trust has gradually been established, and second, their confidence in themselves is getting higher and higher."

Seeing the Modao and Battle Axe Camp training, I couldn't help laughing and said, "Borgla Khan will arrive at any time, but it's still training here. Isn't this sharpening the knife in the last battle? They're recruits."

Abule didn't know about this new camp. The two of them walked nearby and couldn't help but take a look. Suddenly, they heard Xi Sheng's order. Mo Dao's hand rushed out in the middle and slashed forward with a very simple but very neat knife method. The two-wing battle axe soldiers stepped on and swung their axes to slash. One hundred and eighty Mo Dao and one hundred and twenty battle axes swung at the same time. The wind roaring sound made people feel cold when they heard it.

The old and the young only glanced at the businessman a few times, feeling awe in his heart. Although they didn't understand military affairs very much, they all thought: "So amazing!" They didn't dare to look at each other, and bowed their heads to enter the city.
