Chapter 9 Chai Rong's First Battle
Chapter 9 Chai Rong’s First Battle
Beiluntai City has established a defense zone system, with one battalion looking at one battalion and one village looking at one village. It is not connected to the airtight walls and fences, but they watch and call for help from each other. It seems that there are gaps everywhere, but in fact there are traps everywhere. If the enemy only comes ordinary soldiers, patrol soldiers will be solved. If the elite soldiers come, the elite soldiers will fight against each other. If the army arrives, all the camps will respond.
This time, the cavalry that broke through from the east was a powerful brigade sent by Yelu Shuogu. In order to explore the reality of the Tang army, the total number reached 3,000. They all used light cavalry and camels to tie dried meat, and passed through the edge of the grassland and desert in the Beiting Basin, bypassed the east of the Tang army, and rushed straight to the nearby area.
This place is 35 miles northeast of Beiluntai City, which is already on the edge of the entire defense zone. Most of the three thousand cavalry were stopped by the Tang army on the outermost ring, but hundreds of people rushed towards it.
When Chai Rong saw the number of this army, he knew that even if they were allowed to rush over, it would not harm the entire Luntai defense zone. However, if the enemy was allowed to pass by, Gongcao's merits and demerits would be reduced!
For this Khitan, they also knew that they were unlikely to win a great victory that shakes the foundation of the Tang army. Their task was to test which level they could go deeper, and at the same time bring back as much information as possible!
Chai Rong, if he wants to make meritorious contributions, at least he cannot reduce Gongcao's evaluation of the base camp, but at the same time, he must pay more attention to protecting the lives of his young comrades! Is there any way to achieve the best of both worlds?
All this thinking and judgment must be completed in a very short time!
"Deputy Team Chief, let's go back to the camp! We can't afford to offend this Khitan!" said a deputy fire chief.
This time the tour was just a team that asked them to come out to accumulate experience. They didn't expect to encounter an enemy, otherwise they wouldn't be just a young soldier.
Chai Rong said, "No, you can't just let them go! You listen to my orders! Geng Xin!"
"have!"
"You bring three brothers back to the camp to report the news immediately!"
"yes."
"Stone Octopus!"
"exist!"
"Follow me the eight best brothers who ride!"
"yes!"
"Chen Feng laughs!"
"exist!"
"You take the others to that place and wait, put your horse down, and then you all hide!"
"yes!"
Chai Rong was very prestigious among the young men and did what he said.
The three groups acted separately.
The grassland has a wide view. Although I saw that the other party was still far away, Chai Rong led ten best riding skills and told them how to act. He turned around and met them, but did not attack head-only, but just ran to a high ground, which was the only place for hundreds of Khitan cavalry!
Chai Rong had only ten men and himself. When the hundreds of cavalry saw them, they ignored them and were about to rush over. Chai Rong took an arrow on the high ground and shouted: "Shit the volley!"
Among all kinds of martial arts, archery was extremely difficult to achieve quickly. These ten young soldiers had been trained for less than half a year. Except for the highly talented stone octopus, everyone else had mediocre archery skills, but ten arrows shot volleys and shot down from a high place to the general who was running in front of the hundreds of Khitans, forming a small rain of arrows.
The general exclaimed, but he was very quick to react. He was hanging on the other side of the galloping horse. He could do this while galloping fast. His reaction and equestrian were first-class!
Chai Rong praised, but saw that the general was not caught in the arrow, but his mount was shot and fell down with a stern. But immediately, his subordinates led the backup horses, and their rushing towards the southwest was also paused. After the general landed, he jumped and turned over the horse. Several movements were continuous and smooth, and he rushed towards Chai Rong with a roar.
"They are here!" Shi Octopus shouted.
"Let's go! Act as planned!" Chai Rong shouted lowly, but shouted: "Go and command the troops and agree to ask for help. I'll inform the granary to be closed!"
What he said was Khitan dialect - Shi Jingtang was appointed to guard Taiyuan, and originally intended to defend Khitan, so many of the soldiers in his army were familiar with Khitan dialect. Guo Wei understood that Chai Rong knew a little, but Shi Octopus and others could not understand it. However, according to the original plan, five people were dragged back to the camp, but Chai Rong led four young soldiers with the best riding skills, including Shi Octopus, to run southeast!
The Khitan general didn't expect why a young man would speak Khitan at this time, and after hearing it, he followed.
Although Chai Rong was not a horse, he rode down from a high ground with a strong wind. Five cavalry galloped and ran for five miles in one breath. Hundreds of Khitans were following him very tightly, and many even arched with bows and arrows. Fortunately, he had seen a small hill. Chai Rong and others turned around and ran for more than ten miles. The horses under their crotch were all drawn to bloodstains by them! The horses that were riding at this speed were the easiest to get tired, not to mention that Chai Rong and others were not good horses, and they were slowly pulled closer by the Khitans behind them.
Chen Fengxiao and others were already waiting there. When they saw them, they rushed down the mountain. When the five young knights approached the horse, they jumped off the horse and jumped onto the relay new horse. Only five of them could do this in the team's ability to change horses in a fast gallop!
Although I changed the new horse, I still delayed a little while when changing the horse. In addition, I had to accelerate again after changing the horse, so I was pulled twenty steps closer by the Khitans behind me!
"Shushu--"
Dozens of arrows shot from behind, scaring the stone octopus to scream. His mount, which had landed at the end, was frightened and niggled faster than any horse. It turned out that he was hit by an arrow! After the horse suffered, he ran wildly in fear. Chai Rong shouted: "Don't look back! Don't care about anything! Run, run, run!"
The stone octopus was really frightened! The wind around him roared, and the scenery on both sides kept retreating. Even if he practiced on the Guzang grassland, he had never rode his horse so quickly!
Hundreds of death gods were behind. As long as they were caught up a little behind, they would not die under the arrows and would have to be stepped into flesh-sized mud! He seemed to hear his heartbeat, and his breathing was even more chaotic!
The team's orthodox coach used to make sure that they should breathe evenly on the horse's back and how to adapt to the bumps so that they won't be tired too quickly, but I forgot all of these on the battlefield!
He even stuck out his tongue and exhale like a dog, but no one would laugh at him for his embarrassment at this moment. On the battlefield, those who can survive are qualified to be winners! Elegance is unnecessary!
"Run, rush! It's coming soon! rush!"
Chai Rong loudly encouraged his comrades and his brothers. In fact, he was also very afraid. His experience was a little more than these teenagers, but it wasn't much better!
Although I have experienced a very dangerous situation, how can those gangsters, liars, and snake heads compare with the blood brave men on the battlefield?
But he can't be afraid at this moment! Even if he is afraid, he has to hold on!
He is their leader, and his idea is also made! He must be responsible for them!
He remembered Guo Wei’s teachings--man must shoulder the responsibilities he should bear!
Responsibility is even greater than life and death!
Shi Octopus needs him, and several other little comrades need him too!
Chai Rong must muster up the courage, because his courage is the courage of his young comrades!
"drive--"
With the hard work, the five war horses stimulated the final power - although they were not good horses, the logistics department of the Tiance Army strictly controlled the battlefield materials, and those who could become war horses were not considered inferior horses. And they were new forces, so under the urge to force, the four hooves were flying, and they actually opened the Khitan behind them for a short distance!
The more anxious the runaway escapes, the more crazier the chaser will chase them!
After another small turn, I saw a forest!
arrive!
The war horse under Shi Octopus' crotch actually overdrawn his life in pain, but at this time, Shi Octopus also became energetic when he saw the woods.
Support, support, support!
arrive!
At this time, a forest occasionally grows on the grassland. The temperate forests are never as dense as those in tropical forests. Most of the leaves have fallen in autumn, but if you look at them from a distance and don’t look too carefully, it is still difficult to find any abnormalities!
Only Chai Rong and the others knew in their hearts that there was murderous intent buried in this woods!
Suddenly—
Like the wind, several riders walked forward and rushed towards the woods. The stone octopus's mount neighed and finally fell down. Chai Rong bent down halfway and pulled him up, but it was obvious that it was impossible for them to last for one horse to last!
The Khitan general behind him laughed and rushed over!
But just as most of the cavalry passed by the woods, I suddenly heard a loud cry from the woods: "Shoot!"
Silent-
The terrible sound of breaking through the air is endless!
There was a crossbow in the woods actually ambushed!
Khitan war horses kept falling to the ground, and many of the Khitan cavalry had already died under their own horse hooves!
The attack came without any signs, and it shot from the side again, which had almost no room for resistance for this team of Khitan cavalry!
"There is an ambush!"
"There is an ambush!"
"careful!"
An urgent warning sound spread, but the team of soldiers had suffered heavy casualties!
clang clang—
Heavy infantry rushed out of the woods, and at the same time, cavalry went around not far away!
Chai Rong stopped running away and shouted, "Go back to the cavalry!"
Although there were only four horsemen, he still led a few brothers to turn back!
He controlled the horse, and the stone octopus behind him set up an arrow and shot a shot, hitting the Khitan general's shoulder!
"I didn't expect to only come here!" The Khitan general covered the wound on his shoulder, very unwilling to do so, but had to order: "Go!"
"I still want to leave?" A team of Tang cavalry ran over in the distance!
The battle situation here has not yet been completed, but some people have already paid back the latest battle report layer by layer.
At the gate of Beiluntai City, Zhang Mai had just arrived. Yang Yizheng led the generals to greet him. After receiving the battle report, he smiled and said, "Brother Mai, you are so lucky. You have brought your brothers to win the battle as soon as you arrived!"
"Oh? Is it the Khitan or the Uighur?"
"It's the Khitan." Yang Yi said: "There are about 3,000 people, and the troops are very strong. They are roundabout and surprise attacks. Most of them are stopped on the outer third ring road. Hundreds of people broke through, but they were ambushed in the northwest outer second ring road. The battle is still going on, but it should be coming to an end. Even if we don't wipe out all three thousand people, at least half of them will be detained!"
Zhang Mai was overjoyed when he heard this. He had already received Yang Yi's defense formation map, so he knew that this battle was just a small contact but it had a lot to do with it. In this battle, the Tang army did not overestimate the weak, but tested the defensive power of Yang Yi's formation!
Chapter completed!
