    Nan Jiyun was the second general to lead his army out of Suirong City. Even though he was leading a mixed infantry unit, his actual movement speed was not slow at all, because the unit he led was used by Zhou Chengye.  Mounted infantry with huge amounts of money piled up!  Infantry cavalry and mounted infantry is a crazy slogan put forward by Zhou Chengye for the Suirong Army. It not only requires a large number of horses for support, but also has higher requirements for cavalry and infantry.  If this crazy approach is promoted among the hundreds of thousands of troops in Longyou, it will increase the military expenditure of the Tang Dynasty to an unbearable level for the entire empire. Therefore, Zhou Chengye's approach is destined to be only suitable for small areas.  carried out within.  " However, what Zhou Chengye needs now is only a small range and small number of troops to achieve this comprehensive ability and quality.  When he reaches the high position of corps commander or legion commander in the future, he will still have other ways to improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army.  Nan Jiyun was followed by 800 infantrymen on war horses, as well as mixed infantrymen of swordsmen, crossbowmen and axe-shielders. If this scene was seen by the commanders of other armies, they might be  Laughing your ass off.  If the infantry rides on horseback, can they become cavalry? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Infantrymen riding on horses, it is indeed very different, but we should not forget that when a four-legged one runs, he is faster than a two-legged one!  Letting infantrymen carry war horses can not only effectively improve the mobile combat capabilities of the troops, but also increase the amount of supplies the troops can carry. They can also directly kill horses to satisfy their hunger when there is no food to eat!  The war horses used by Nan Jiyun's army are the worst among the Suirong army.  Of course, the so-called "second" depends on what kind of war horse it is compared with.  Compared with the top-notch war horses used by the heavy cavalry battalion led by Ge Shuhan, the war horses ridden by the eight hundred infantrymen behind Nan Jiyun can only be described as weak; but compared with the horses pulling carriages in Chang'an City, even if they were heavily  These war horses, which the cavalry camp derided as "local horses," must be at least one level higher.  Nan Jiyun was born into a poor family at the bottom of the family. Before he came to Chang'an, he was a rustic by the Pu River. Even these war horses that were looked down upon by the heavy and light cavalry camps were treated as treasures by him.  The horses were guarded and cared for, fearing that some of the horses equipped for his camp would get sick or lose weight.  After the army left the city, the "Southern Turtle" wanted to increase the speed of the troops rushing to the predetermined battlefield, but was also afraid of tiring out his own horse, so he thought of riding a horse for a while, then dismounting and running behind the horse for a while.  way of doing.  Nan Jiyun deceived the soldiers under his command like this: "Brothers, we are going to Mongolia. The marching distance is not far, but only more than two hundred miles, and it is time to take a pee. In order to keep everyone in good condition.  After recovering to the best, I decided to let everyone carry out armed cross-country training while traveling! "Well, who the hell has ever seen cross-country training of marching for three consecutive days, and also following the butt of a war horse?  In this way, the Southern Turtle was like a stingy old woman. Along the way, she was not only worried about tiring out her own soldiers, but also worried about tiring out her war horses. She kept busy and directed the troops to move forward in different ways. Finally, at  Three days later, they arrived at the southern exit of Meng Valley where their unit had set up an ambush.  After the troops arrived at the predetermined location, Nan Jiyun asked everyone to rest where they were. However, he had no time to rest, so he climbed up to a high ground at the entrance of the valley with only a few guards, and then carefully observed the terrain in the valley with a telescope.  "Bie Jin only saw Nan Jiyun's stinginess and rusticity, but no one knew how much he valued and determined this mission.  Whether he will become a country bumpkin forever, or whether he will become famous with this battle and embark on the road of becoming a general with thousands of troops, all depends on Nan Jiyun's command before the battle.  He won and set foot on the Tongyao Avenue.  If you lose, then leave these more than 100 kilograms in Meng Valley!  After observing the terrain in the valley, Nan Jiyun immediately organized the soldiers to take down a large number of prepared sacks and one-handed short-handled shovels from the horseback, and then ordered everyone to fill the sacks with soil, and then put them into the sacks.  The sacks were built in a ladder arrangement, and three temporary fortifications were built in an extremely short time.  Of course, before building these fortifications, Nan Jiyun did not forget to ask some of his men to carefully bury some small black bundles under the foundation of the fortifications, and then set aside some black rope-like leads.  This method of filling bags with soil to build bunkers is naturally a skill that the commander-in-chief Zhou Chengye has taught every soldier of the Suirong Army in the past few months.  Since it was very effective to build fortifications on battlefields with flying artillery shells in later generations, it was even more necessary to build bunkers and fortifications in the era of cold weapons, especially when it was necessary to stop the defeated Tibetan cavalry.  After the bunker construction is completed,Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early for the battle, Nan Jiyun gave in and spread a large amount of caltrops within a hundred steps in front of each fortification, and finally sprinkled a thin layer of dust and weeds on top, erasing them.  Traces of caltrops.  The so-called caltrop is a kind of "little thing" with four spikes "growing" all over its body. Each spike is more than three inches long, and the spikes are at an angle of 120 degrees to each other.  If you throw this kind of gadget casually into the ground, it will surely have three legs firmly gripping the ground, and then the remaining spike will point straight into the sky.  This caltrop is produced by Xiliu Villa. It is made of pure steel and can be used repeatedly on the battlefield. It is another "cheating" weapon that Zhou Chengye secretly prepared for his direct troops!  ??Just imagine, what a miserable ending it will be when the Tibetan cavalry rushes over at high speed from the northern end of the Meng Valley and breaks into the "minefield" where the caltrops are buried!  After carefully making these preparations, Nan Jiyun has completely completed the tasks assigned by Zhou Chengye before leaving. However, because he reasonably adjusted the input and horsepower during the journey, he still had two days to spare.  Two days is also time, and it is rare time.  Nan Jiyun, who was born as a country boy, would never waste these two days easily. At this time, he was like a landowner collecting debts, constantly urging all the soldiers to cut down some firewood from a distance, and collect a large amount of grass and grass.  Horse manure.  Thick wood was made into horses; small wood and branches were used as firewood.  As for the use of the coir grass and horse dung, Nan Jiyun smiled and said nothing.  Before fighting the Tibetans, no one, including Nan Jiyun, realized what the significance of these seemingly painful things they accomplished in the last two days was.  After talking about the busy Nan Jiyun team leaving the city, let¡¯s take a look at what Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong¡¯s teams are doing.  Lu Dayong led the 300 light cavalry battalion, plus 200 shooters from the crossbow battalion, 200 spearmen from the pike battalion, and 50 guardsmen.  When it comes to leading troops alone, he is on the same level as Ge Shuhan and Nan Jiyun. When it comes to combat tasks, he is also responsible for fighting in one direction alone. If he is rewarded after the fact, he will not fall behind.  behind.  Ge Shuhan and Nan Jiyun were brought into Suirong City from Chang'an by Zhou Chengye. Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong have fully experienced what kind of skills these two men have in the past few months.  .  Since they and the new veterans were able to drink at the same table when Zhou Chengye left Suirong City, it meant that they recognized each other and felt that everyone was at least on the same level.  As Zhang Shiping said to Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong before leaving office, Zhou Chengye was actually a good immediate boss. After he came to Suirong City, he not only did not neglect the two lieutenants, but instead gave them greater power.  Lu Dayong was not only the deputy general of the Suirong Army, but also actually commanded the Qingqi Battalion and the Bow and Crossbow Battalion, which totaled one thousand troops, equivalent to one-third of the entire army; similarly, Jia Erlong, as another deputy general, also actually commanded  The spear battalion and the ax shield battalion totaled one thousand.  What moved Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong the most was that during this battle, Zhou Chengye did not allocate tasks according to the actual military units under his four main generals. Instead, he completely messed up the organization and mixed them according to the actual tasks they each assumed.  Match the troops.  For example, Lu Dayong himself was in charge of the light cavalry battalion and the crossbow battalion, but two hundred light cavalrymen were temporarily transferred to the command of Ge Shuhan, and 300 crossbowmen were temporarily transferred to the command of Nan Jiyun. As long as these two  If the direction wins, then Lu Dayong¡¯s contribution is indispensable.  Similarly, among the troops he led into battle this time, there were also 200 spearmen trained by Jia Erlong, as well as 50 guards directly under the command of Zhou Chengye.  If you don¡¯t have complete trust in your subordinates and don¡¯t distinguish between them, who can be so confident in breaking up the troops into temporary formations?  Because of the trust and importance of General Zhou Chengye, although he had doubts about Zhou Chengye's somewhat crazy decision this time, Lu Dayong, who led an army to set up an ambush between Dafeiling and Dafeichuan, still made up his mind and planned to use real weapons to  Military merit to prove one's worth.  Dafiling is located forty miles south of Qinghai Hunan. In later generations, people called this mountain range Qinghai Nanshan.  Dafeichuan is located in the south of Dafeiling, about 80 miles away.  Dafeichuan reaches Moliyi in the east and Fulochuan in the west. From there, you can go to Khotan in the west, Chiling in the northeast, Fuqi City in the northwest, and Wuhai and Hekou in the south. It is actually a key point in the south of Qinghai.  .  During the early Tang Dynasty, Xue Rengui, the god of war, once led 50,000 Tang soldiers in a large-scale battle with the Tibetan army in the Dafeichuan area. After experiencing early victories, he was finally defeated because of the deputy general.Guo Daifeng's unauthorized actions were defeated by 400,000 Tibetan troops, and he finally returned with hatred.  With this battle, Tubo finally had the strength to challenge the Tang Dynasty, and it became a powerful force in the west that rivaled the Tang Dynasty. Tuyuhun also became a large tribe in Tubo, and the Tang Empire was forced to revoke the four towns of Anxi.  The establishment of the Anxi Protectorate moved the Anxi Protectorate to Xizhou.  More than sixty years ago, the Tang Dynasty war god Xue Rengui led an army of 50,000 people and was finally blocked by Tibet in the area north of Dafeichuan; more than sixty years later, an ordinary general in the Tang Dynasty border army led 750 soldiers.  Soldiers, can they stop the Tibetan counterattack coming from the southern part of Dafeichuan?  (To be continued) .
