Chapter 48: Chang'an Westward Infantry War Cavalry
It was already daybreak, and the official road leading to Chang'an was now full of black-armored soldiers. Rows of soldiers were holding weapons such as spears and horizontal knives. They were marching towards Chang'an as if there was no end. All the soldiers were tough. He looked like a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Every soldier in the queue stepped forward to the sound of the drums, stepping on the drums every step of the way. (To read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)
At the same time, countless iron boots stepped down as if they were going to make a hole in the earth. The "booming" footsteps could be heard from a long distance, including the common people along the official road, some tea shops and restaurants doing business. They have all fled. The Anxi Army is very mysterious to the people of Chang'an. They are not sure whether the Xi Army kills people without blinking an eye. It would be too unfair if they get close and get killed.
Large flags were fluttering in the advancing army. The first one was a huge flag embroidered with the word "Iron Wall". This was the Momo flag that used 10,000 people to withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Ulan War. Swordsman, the commander-in-chief Li Zuoguo personally sealed the title "Iron Bi" after the war. The two characters "Iron Bi" embroidered on the red flag were also written by Li Zuoguo himself. A spear is going to pierce the flag.
But the Mo Dao soldiers were not marching at all. This team was all horse-drawn carts, and the cars were filled with strong men who were as big as tin cans. The Mo Dao soldiers were all marching on the carts, otherwise it would have been more than a hundred miles. The distance required these soldiers wearing dozens of kilograms of armor to walk on their feet. I am afraid that few of them would be able to fight when they reached Chang'an, so Mo Daobing was almost the only infantry who sat in a car and moved forward.
After the Ulan battle, Sanjani was only out of strength, and his body was not seriously injured. There were only a few small wounds on his arms and shoulders, and there were also wounds pierced by spears on his chest. However, under the protection of sophisticated armor, after five days Sanjani was very active. He resolutely rejected Li Zuoguo's proposal to return to Shule to take over the position of Shule garrison. He wanted to stay and continue to lead Mo Dao soldiers. Li Zuoguo had no choice but to like this loyal general very much, so he left Anxi from Anxi. The additional 10,000 Mo Dao soldiers were handed over to Sanjani to continue to command. Together with the remaining 5,000 Mo Dao soldiers, it can be said that Li Zuoguo formed the strongest iron wall against An Qingxu's cavalry this time.
Soldiers are the group with the most sense of honor. When an army has accumulated historical honors, its combat effectiveness is astonishing. The title Li Zuoguo gave Mo Daobing is unique in the army, and it also makes other troops very jealous. Gearing up and hoping to get such a title in the following battles.

The soldiers of Mo Daobing raised their heads and held their chests high when they walked through the camp. All the officers and soldiers of Mo Daobing who participated in the Battle of Ulan had three badges on their chests. One was a bronze battle medal, which was worn by soldiers who participated in the Battle of Ulan. , including the cook, none of them were left behind. There was only the word "Ulan" on the medal, which looked simple and unpretentious. One was a silver victory medal, but it showed that this unit played a key role in this battle. This medal The troops are awarded for their collective military exploits. The medal is in the shape of a silver lion's head. On the back is the name of the unit and the individual's name. The last medal is the title medal. This is a medal inlaid with gold. The medal A mountain peak appeared above, and above it was the word "iron wall". This was the source of Mo Daobing's greatest pride.
Only the Mo Dao soldiers who participated in the Ulan War have this "Iron Wall" medal, but the Mo Dao soldiers who were added later did not. All the Mo Dao soldiers who died in the battle received this medal. The medal is not only proof of merit, but also In the future, the tax exemption will be proved for soldiers after they retire. All soldiers love their medals as much as their lives. They will wipe them with grease before going to bed so that they can sparkle when they wear them on their chests the next day.
The concept of medals was born by Li Zuoguo a long time ago, and the title was determined in Li Zuoguo's bad taste. There are ten kinds of medals conceived by Li Zuoguo. Mo Daobing is the strongest infantry who will always defend the cavalry. The title "Iron Wall" has long been I have thought about it, and the 20,000 Iron Wall Medals are also ready. At Chu Tianshu's suggestion, Li Zuoguo named them after they have achieved military exploits. It seems that the effect is very good. There are also Shura, Cavalry, and There are three titles of Tianlong and Yaksha. In addition to Iron Wall, the infantry also has Houyi, Shenxing, Bloody Battle, and Kuangfeng. The logistics troops have two titles of Moving Mountain and Houzai. The last one is the title of Li Zuoguo's personal soldiers. Li Zuoguo was establishing This title was given to him when he was a private soldier. Li Zuoguo's personal soldiers never stood behind to protect the general. They wanted to prove themselves to be the most elite and heroic warriors in the most tragic battlefields. The title Li Zuoguo chose for his personal soldiers was "Shenwei". ".
This title made Chu Tianshu and others very dissatisfied, thinking it was completely child's play. However, no one in the pro-barracks was dissatisfied with this title, because many soldiers were believers of the God of War Cult, and Li Zuoguo was the incarnation of the God of War in their eyes, so It¡¯s not even called Kamui, and it¡¯s what all Anxi Army soldiers yearn for.?Place.
As soon as the title came out, the Anxi Army immediately became excited. They all hoped that their unit could receive this honor. The title of Li Zuoguo was not given to the entire army. It was only available to a single unit with a scale of no more than 20,000, and it was unique. Among them, The benefits are not only honors. After soldiers retire, the chance of finding a job or being recommended as an official in the local area is greatly increased for soldiers with this title. There are also various benefits. Now all ministries are preparing to obtain their belongings in this battle of Chang'an. The exclusive title of the army. (To read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)
Li Zuoguo was in a large carriage at this time. Four horses pulled the carriage forward at a relaxed pace. It was surrounded by Li Zuoguo's personal troops Shenwei warriors in front and on the left and right. Li Zuoguo's two war horses were tied behind the carriage. , Needless to say, Heiyun has always been Li Zuoguo's war horse, but the other horse is even taller than Heiyun. The color of his body is that of dark clouds and snow, with faint leopard spots on his body. His horse's teeth appear to be taller than Heiyun's. Small, but with strong bones and muscles, he is obviously a rare BMW.
This war horse is one of Heiyun's horses. It is the breeding of Heiyun's famous Dawan horse and the Wusun mare. If nothing happens, this war horse called Wubao by Li Zuoguo will be far more powerful in terms of explosive power and endurance. He is better than the other descendants of Heiyun, and has a much better personality and is easy to tame. When Wu Bao was more than three years old, before the Wulan War, he was sent by Ariel as a backup horse for Li Zuoguo.
The two war horses were very relaxed. From time to time, they would put their mouths into the two bags hanging on the back of the carriage and take a bite. They were specially prepared mixed horse feed of flour and highland barley. There were also bone meal and minced meat in it. Except for Li Zuoguo, The war horses of the Shenwei Camp all use this kind of horse food. This kind of food can make the war horses have sufficient energy, and after three hours of running at a medium speed, they can still carry out a high-intensity battle for more than half an hour.
At this time, Li Zuoguo was looking at a letter sent from behind. There was a low table in the carriage, blankets were hung all around the carriage, and the front, rear, and left windows were open. The summer weather was bound to make it impossible to stay in the carriage, because The cavalry around the carriage blocked all the wind. There was sweat on Li Zuoguo's forehead, but Li Zuoguo was still wearing a suit of armor.
This is a letter jointly written by Changsun Chenghua, Wang Zeduan and dozens of civil servants under them to Li Zuoguo. The letter states that Li Zuoguo has achieved great success, has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, controls the four realms of the Tang Dynasty, and has a vast territory. Across more than a thousand miles, I hope Li Zuoguo can rectify his name by proclaiming himself emperor.
"You're trying to persuade me to join?" Li Zuoguo had a wry smile on his face and became the emperor? I really didn¡¯t expect that now someone would actually advise me to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. "
Li Zuoguo shook his head and thought I was an idiot like An Lushan? He hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor and ascended the throne. (To read text novels, go to 'Piaotian Literature Network')" Thinking of this, Li Zuoguo couldn't help but think of Chu Tianshu, Duan Tianhe and his teacher Li Bai who stayed in Qiuci. These people are now the chief civil servants in Anxi, but they have not moved. .
With a smile on his lips, Li Zuoguo understood the thoughts of Sun Chenghua and Wang Zeduan. They had no merit under Li Zuoguo, and they were afraid that Li Zuoguo would not use them, so they had to grab the first one to persuade them to join. After thinking about it, Li Zuoguo After closing the letter, I wanted to wait until I had time to reply to the two of them. I wanted to tell them that they don't need to think about these things that have nothing to do with civil affairs. It would be a great help to them to handle the affairs at hand.
Li Zuoguo scooped up another letter, and the expression on his face suddenly softened. His thick eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his mouth were turned up. This was a letter from Ariel. Ariel was already five months pregnant. In the letter When it comes to the safety of the family, Dalang Nian thinks that he should be careful on the battlefield and not venture into dangerous places. Anxi's whole hope lies in Li Zuoguo and tells him to take care of himself. The letter contains such care and tenderness that Li Zuoguo's heart melts. , have been away fighting for most of the year, and Ariel has never stayed together for more than half a year since she married the two, but Ariel has never complained.
Li Zuoguo felt guilty in his heart. At the end of the letter were words written by Xiaoyun and Xiaohuan, asking Li Zuoguo to pay attention to his health. Although the words were few, friendship came to him. Finally, there were slap marks from some small hands. Li Zuoguo smiled. This is Li Zhongyang¡¯s nickname is Xiaoxin¡¯s Xiaopiao Astronomy Network? He is almost two years old, but he has never been hugged properly.
Li Zuoguo raised his head, it's almost time, he can rest after capturing Chang'an and then scooping up Tongguan. Dealing with Li Longji and An Lushan will not happen overnight, the battle still has to be fought, and the birth of the second child must be present.
The soldiers on the left and right also saw Li Zuoguo's gentle face, and couldn't help but feel as relaxed as the general. Suddenly, a scout cavalry came to report on Pegasus.
We brought them here to Li Zuoguo and reported to the general. An Qingxu's cavalry of about 80,000 was divided into two groups and approached the cavalry led by General Li Qi. The other infantry also came out of camp and formed up, heading towards us. The number was six. About 10,000 people, the camp's strength was basically overwhelming, and General Li's forwards had already joined forces with the generals.When Qingxu's cavalry started fighting, General Li Qi asked the last general to ask, "What's next?" "
Li Zuoguo did not answer, but directly called the entire army to stop advancing and form formation. (If you want to read text novels, go to ¡®Piaotian Literature Network¡¯)¡±
The order was soon conveyed, and the advancing Anxi army stopped advancing. The Mo Dao soldiers at the front began to get out of the car and began to form formations at the parking place. Soon, nearly 80,000 Chinese troops in Li Zuoguo's hands formed a formation. The square formation was lined up on both sides of the official road, with the Mo Dao soldiers in front, the crossbow soldiers in the middle, the spear soldiers and sword and shield soldiers behind them, and then in the middle of the team was a tightly protected group of about 5,000 people. The troops began to move.
This is how the Fire Character Camp, which has been prepared for five years, will shine on the current battlefield.
Li Zuoguo then ordered the messenger cavalry to report back to Li Qi, asking him to retreat and not to get entangled with An Qingxu's cavalry. An Qingxu's target must be our infantry team, so he would let them go and let them hit their heads and bleed. "
The cavalryman drew his horse and left after receiving the order, and two of Li Zuoguo's soldiers also followed him. This was to avoid accidental failure or miscommunication of the military order.
Just when Li Zuoguo's entire army was waiting in formation, Li Qi was rejoicing. The forward general Liewu Colonel Liu Songmu sent someone to report back. He fought with An Qingxu's cavalry for several rounds and killed many of the opponent's cavalry. There was no hand-to-hand combat, but they just used horn crossbows to deal with the opponent. Even An Qingxu's cavalry turned around and ran away under this round of crossbows. Liu Songmu asked Li Qi to hurry up and fight with An Qingxu's cavalry. .
Li Qi was about to order the entire army to move forward, but after thinking for a moment he held back. Before setting off, Li Zuoguo had told him not to get entangled with An Qingxu when he sent troops. The cavalry in his hands was specially designed to deal with An Qingxu's defeated troops in the end, not The decisive battle with An Qingxu was a head-to-head battle, but the real battle with An Qingxu was the infantry. Li Qi now had the title of "criminal meritorious service" and did not dare to make his own decisions.
After a while, the messenger came and repeated Li Zuoguo's words. Li Qi shook his head. Although he looked down on An Qingxu's cavalry, now was not the time to make his own decisions, so he sent someone to Liu Songmu to tell him to retreat. At this time, Li Qi Noticing that one of the two soldiers sent by Li Zuoguo looked like a barbarian, Li Qi waved to him.
Li Qi looked at this tall Hu soldier and asked, "How about you guard your body?" "
That soldier was none other than Sauri, who became Li Zuoguo's soldier after he performed meritorious service under Wulan City. At this time, Sauri smiled naively and raised his hand to scratch the back of the general's head. I, I I didn't quite understand. "
A soldier next to him clasped his fists and said to General Li, "Sauri's Chinese is not very good, but the young guard is in good health." "
Li Qi suddenly smiled and said, are you the Sauri who refused to retreat in Ulan City? Very good, a warrior. "
The soldier told Sauri in a low voice in Turkic dialect. Sauri became even more embarrassed. Li Qi also smiled when he saw him like this, and said in Turkic dialect that there is no need for you two. You are less guarding. Arrange for me to leave with our cavalry later. Is there no problem in going into battle to kill the enemy? "
Sauri and the soldiers who came with him raised their chests and said, "I will follow the general's orders." "
In the blink of an eye, thunderous hoofbeats were heard in the distance. Li Qi said Liu Songmu's cavalry had retreated, and we should retreat north quickly to avoid being entangled by An Qingxu's cavalry. "
The cavalry of the brigade quickly started to move and disappeared quickly. Liu Songmu's three thousand cavalry, one man and two horses, also flew past this place and retreated to the north. Not far away was An Qingxu's cavalry brigade. At this time, it was already The distance is more than five miles, and we can't catch up.
Cai Xide followed the Hu cavalry with 50,000 cavalry. He saw from a distance that all the cavalry of the Anxi Army retreated and disappeared. He couldn't help but frowned and said to the generals on the left and right that something was wrong. Although the Anxi cavalry was small in number, it had a strong combat effectiveness. , why retreat without fighting at all? Doesn't this expose the infantry behind to us? "
A general on the side said, "Isn't this just right? Let's just rush in and overwhelm the Anxi infantry. Will their cavalry still be able to fly to the sky?" "
Cai Xide said: What if their cavalry takes advantage of us to attack the Anxi infantry and turns around to attack the infantry led by King Jin? "
The general said that it is dangerous for 30,000 infantry to attack the 60,000 infantry of the King of Jin. It is better for us to leave 20,000 cavalry to guard against the Anxi cavalry attack. In this way, the 60,000 cavalry is enough to defeat the less than 100,000 infantry in Anxi. As long as the Anxi cavalry cannot If our infantry is successfully scooped out, our cavalry will be able to destroy them when they return, so that everything is safe. "
Cai Xide pondered for a moment and said, okay, I will allocate 10,000 fine cavalry here, and then ask the tribal cavalry to allocate 10,000 cavalry, and you will lead it. Be prepared to guard against the Anxi cavalry, and notify the King of Jin at the same time. I first led the cavalry to attack the Anxi infantry, and asked the King of Jin to advance quickly and try to defeat the main force of the Anxi army at once. "
? ?The general was Zeng Pei, one of the three captains of the Yan Shen Army. After hearing Cai Xide's arrangement, he clasped his fists and accepted the order. He quickly led his 10,000 cavalry and Hu Qi's 10,000 cavalry to go out. Cai Xide personally led 60,000 cavalry. An Qingxu aggressively rushed towards the location of Li Zuoguo's central army. An Qingxu also got the military information and accelerated his attack towards the western suburbs of Chang'an City. At this time, because Li Qi's Anxi cavalry did not engage in the battle and retreated, An Qingxu's entire army became confused. Li Qi did not dare to confront Jue.
Twenty miles west of Chang'an City, there are several rolling hills not far away. The terrain is flat, suitable for cavalry charges. There are small trees here and there. Li Zuoguo's infantry is waiting in formation here. The air is very solemn. The soldiers wearing armor slowly calmed down their breathing. Although they marched for a day and a night and only rested for three hours on the way, long-distance marching in the Anxi Army was only one of the training contents. Marching hundreds of miles every day every ten days It has to be carried out once, and for the Anxi Army, this one hundred and fifty miles does not count.
What's more, the Mo Dao soldiers have been recharging their energy in the cart. At this time, every Mo Dao soldier has murderous intent in his eyes. The Mo Dao in his hand reflects the light, eager to drink human blood. Sanjani's tall body once again stood up. At the front of Modao Formation, the place where Li Zuoguo set up his military formation is very interesting. There are two relatively steep hills on both sides. If An Qingxu's cavalry wants to attack, they can only attack from the front. If they want to attack from the side, they will be attacked by two The hills were in the way, and they had to travel an extra five miles after the detour. Li Zuoguo wanted An Qingxu's cavalry to come from the front.
In front of Sanjani's infantry, there were already soldiers wearing red shirts. These soldiers only wore half-body armor and numbered only 5,000. However, Sanjani had seen the power of the Huozi camp and was not afraid of it at all. He underestimated the lethality of the Fire Character Camp, and the huge black tubular weapons were already placed.
In less than an hour, a black line appeared. It was Cai Xide's 60,000 cavalry. The horses were trotting. Cai Xide had already seen Li Zuoguo's infantry waiting in formation from a distance, but he did not have any fear in his heart. The infantry lined up again. The formation was facing a dead end against the cavalry charge. Cai Xide urged the horses, and the entire cavalry brigade quickly separated from the front and rear. Every 10,000 cavalry formed an attack formation, with an interval of about 500 meters. Cai Xide wanted to use a tidal wave of The charge destroyed Li Zuoguo's infantry at once.
