    The old general regretted it and felt that he had done a big mistake. Even though it was too late when he found out, he still thought so. He thought that if he had not done all this, maybe it would have been a good ending.  The main reason why the old general had such an idea was Du He. The Tang army led by Du He had an ominous premonition when they first saw the thick black smoke. The vanguard general Wei Chi Baolin led the  With a cavalry of 5,000 men, they rushed forward in a hurry to remind the main force of the rebel army, which was already fighting with the official army, to be careful of the official army's tactics. Du He pointedly pointed out that although the rebel army was outnumbered, the  There is no doubt that they are a ragtag group of people, and it is extremely easy for experienced generals to see their flaws and cripple them in one fell swoop.  When the Tang Army and the Eastern Rebel Army attacked the last barrier to the Persian Imperial City, they encountered strong resistance from the Persian government forces. This government army was large in number, and most of them were just like the previous Persian army, a ragtag group, but there was one  An army of 20,000 to 30,000 people was extremely tenacious and good at fighting. Du He underestimated the enemy at first. After the opponent's main force of 100,000 people was annihilated, he only used 5,000 light cavalry to capture the fortress. As a result, he came back with a bruised face and a bruised face. Du He was shocked and shocked.  Angry, he personally led his troops and artillery to attack the city.  Facts have proved that the defeat of the five thousand Qingqi was not without reason. This Persian army was indeed quite tenacious and repelled the first wave of attacks by the Tang army without artillery assistance. Of course, this was just a tentative attack by Du He. After this time, Du He ordered  Use artillery to bombard the city wall, first use solid iron bullets to completely destroy the city wall, and then use explosive bombs to attack the soldiers. After a round of fierce bombardment, the elite of the Tang Dynasty formed a military formation and moved forward steadily. They wanted to kill them in one fell swoop, but they still encountered  Resist tenaciously.  Pioneer General Wei Chi Baolin personally led 3,000 commandos into the city and started fierce street battles with the Persian defenders. As a result, he was beaten out three times. Du He was furious, so he personally wore armor and went into battle with his own guards.  Du He was extremely shocked when he was beaten out by the desperate Persian government troops. In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of this Persian army was far inferior to that of the Tang army, but their spirit and their tenacious fighting will shocked him.  , he witnessed with his own eyes a Persian soldier with his intestines spilled out biting the neck of a Tang soldier, and then died of exhaustion.  What kind of army do these Persian soldiers belong to?  This must not be an ordinary Persian army, it must be the elite of the elite. Who is their commander?  Who is their commander?  Where do they come from?  The Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty, which had never failed in a hundred battles, suffered a serious defeat here. Three of the five armies with 90,000 people gathered here, but they were blocked by the remnant Persian army of less than 20,000 people for five full years.  Until the last Persian soldier was killed in the battle, the Tang Dynasty lost more than 8,900 soldiers. This was the largest battle loss in a single battle since the establishment of the Anxi Army. It was the largest battle loss in a situation of superior strength. Looking at  Du He looked solemn at the fortress that had been completely destroyed.  What happened to these Persian soldiers?  This doubt and ominous feeling became even stronger when Du He saw the thick black smoke with his own eyes. What he was most worried about had happened. The Persian defenders in the city must have taken advantage of the rebel army's unpreparedness to attack suddenly.  , used fire to attack the rebel army by surprise. If it were a well-trained army, the rebel army was a complete mob. The intelligence also said that there were a large number of family members, old, weak, sick and disabled in the rebel army, which were more than the combatants.  Wait, is this the army?  Once this kind of army is attacked by fire, even if the army is not in chaos, the old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children will collapse, right?  Once a woman or child collapses, how can men not panic?  Can you still accept the general's command and fight in an orderly manner?  It must have been a collapse, just like when Lu Xun burned the alliance, the well-trained and capable Shu soldiers led by Emperor Liu Bei personally collapsed, let alone these ragtag groups.  Making a decisive decision, Du He immediately ordered the vanguard general Yuchi Baolin to lead five thousand light cavalry to rush to the scene of the incident to support the Persian rebels. Although they were all a mob, if used well, the Tang army could easily destroy the Persian regime. Otherwise, if  The Tang army personally attacked, and the result was probably not very satisfactory. The Tang army, which had just encountered a desperate resistance of more than 20,000 Persian remnants and suffered serious losses, was not suitable for a tough battle immediately.  But it was too late. Yuchi Baolin encountered an ambush while he was advancing rapidly. The Persian army came from nowhere and attacked the Tang Dynasty light cavalry with bows and crossbows. The Tang Dynasty light cavalry was caught off guard and lost more than 200 cavalry. Yuchi Baolin made a prompt decision.  Lead the cavalry to retreat quickly, and do not advance rashly without knowing the enemy's situation. This is the Anxi military law established by Du He. It is not a sin even to retreat, and it is a sin to advance rashly even if it is a victory.  After retreating to a safe place, Yuchi Baolin ordered the cavalry army to organize sentinels to go over again to check the situation. Because they were anxious before, they did not send out scouts to explore the way. As a result, they were ambushed. This timeAfter meeting, Yuchi Baolin asked the scouts to go ahead, and he followed up with the main force. The well-trained scouts moved forward in the dense forests on both sides of the road, and soon discovered the location of the Persian ambush. Green flares shot into the sky.  Yuchi Baolin immediately ordered the cavalry to dismount and transform into infantry, drew out their melee daggers and rushed into the dense forest to clean up the ambush.  Facts have proved that the decision made by Yuchi Baolin was correct, or that the basic solutions of the Military University and the General Staff Headquarters to various basic problems that may be encountered during the march were correct, because no matter what the situation was, the fundamental cause was the same.  A motive can evolve into thousands of thoughts, but the solution does not seem to be as complicated as the thousands. Li Shiji and Li Jing joined forces to create a set of effective solution specifications, and then issued them to every military school student and marching staff officer.  Teach them how to adapt to changes and not stick to rules.  Yuchi Baolin's brain is not very good, or his IQ is not very high, and he has not read much. He is often bullied among a group of friends. However, even a piece of wood can be polished after three years in the military academy and seven or eight years in the army.  To become an excellent general, this kind of thing can be dealt with even if it is a rule of thumb. Yuchi Baolin immediately ordered the soldiers to prepare for it according to the marching rules, but it only took a little more time.  But then Yuchi Baolin discovered that although he was faster, he would encounter ambushes during the march every once in a while, and the number of people in the ambush was very small, at least dozens of people at one time, but he succeeded in slowing down  The speed of the five thousand light cavalry caused Yuchi Baolin to lose more than 400 soldiers before the battle started. He was very angry, and then realized that this was the enemy's plan to weaken the troops. Although he was stupid and had little education, it did not mean that  He doesn't understand these basic military common sense.  He ordered the entire army to attack at full speed and divide it into three teams. The left and right teams each had 800 people, and the main force in the middle was 3,000 people. When encountering an ambush, the main force in the middle would ignore it and continue the assault at full speed. The left and right teams were free to follow the direction and scale of the ambush.  Choose how many troops to leave to deal with it, and then catch up after dealing with it. He will not choose to stop anyway. For the cavalry, speed is life, and for the mission, speed is the guarantee of success.  Sure enough, after this strategy was implemented, the Persian ambush troops were not used to it. Three consecutive ambushes were not successful, but failed miserably. They were miserably dealt with by the two teams on the left and right. The main force of three thousand cavalry was under the command of Yuchi Baolin.  Regardless of everything, they finally arrived at the predetermined location within the predetermined time. They even encountered a thousand-man Persian cavalry on the way. Yuchi Baolin led his army to fight hard and easily defeated this Persian cavalry.  Cavalry, but when they arrived at the intended location, what they saw was not what they expected to see.  It was devastated, filled with gunpowder smoke, the ground was full of potholes, and there were still many deep pits that were not buried. Persian soldiers could be vaguely seen coming and going. Such a landscape was no longer suitable for cavalry, especially light cavalry, to fight. Yuchi Baolin decisively ordered to stop advancing.  , immediately dismounted and set up defenses, and then sent quick messengers to inform the coach Du He of what they saw, as well as the intelligence that the terrain was not suitable for cavalry and large-scale corps group charges.  But even so, they still have doubts about these situations. They don't even know what is happening here. It seems that after a disaster-level battle, Yuchi Baolin's keen sense of smell even smelled out the hidden place hidden in the thick smoke.  The smell of blood must have been a disaster here, or a disaster in which many people died.  "General, you see those people are filling in those holes. Aren't those holes used to stop our cavalry?" A guard next to Yuchi Baolin showed a confused look and asked Yuchi Baolin. Yuchi Baolin took a closer look.  Hey, don't say it, it's true, and as usual, the pit against the cavalry is not that big. Looking down from a high place, it even feels very deep. It is a dark hole, with thick smoke coming out of it, and you can also see flames.  , what are they burning?  That shouldn't be a trap for dealing with cavalry, right?  "What you said is indeed reasonable. Let's do this. It's hard for us to get close if we go deep alone. If we can't figure out the situation, we won't start a war immediately. You can wait for others to sneak over and see what they are doing. Be careful not to be discovered, otherwise you will kill yourself.  May you be blessed!" Yuchi Baolin looked like I would never save you.  The guards were dumbfounded and had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky. They led a group of scouts and walked over. They were sneaky and did not dare to be discovered for fear of being discovered. After watching carefully for a while, one of the scouts frowned and exclaimed.  Said: "Did they throw someone in? Does it look like a dead person to you?" The guard's eyes widened and he took a closer look. Don't tell me, it really looks like No, that's it.  Bar!  So, that big pit is full of corpses?  Is this battle over?  The guard's head was in confusion, so he had to go back and report to Yuchi Baolin. Yuchi Baolin was also confused, butSince the matter cannot be judged, for the sake of the safety of the army, we should retreat a certain distance and wait until the Duhe army arrives before deciding other matters.  Du He's army arrived soon. Du He himself had received the report from Yuchi Baolin. He frowned at Yuchi Baolin who came forward and asked, "You said that Persian soldiers threw corpses into deep pits and burned them."  What do you mean? Is the black smoke the smoke from burning corpses? How many people must have died to burn it like this?" Yuchi Baolin said he was helpless: "There are many pits there, which is not conducive to the Ma army.  "Chicheng, the general is really powerless and I don't know. I still ask the commander to punish you." Du He nodded and said, "I understand, you have done a lot. I really didn't expect such a thing to happen. Look at it this way."  Come, their revolting army has been defeated. They are really a mob. Once the fire breaks out, it will definitely be a disaster. It seems that we are going to fight alone. Send the order, prepare the artillery, and let me blast this imperial city away.  , In addition, the cavalry troops dismounted and walked, and no horses were allowed here. We will discuss the rest later!¡± The generals agreed in unison: ¡°Promise!¡± r1152?¡­
