Chapter 898 Blooming on both sides
"I know my uncle quite well."
Li Wanshan leaned back.
Li Cunxi's voice, appearance and smile flashed in my mind.
The first time he met Li Cunxi was when Li Cunxi first entered Khitan to mourn Sun Wanrong.
At that time, Li Cunxi was very young, but his behavior was very decent and he was very friendly.
The second time I saw Li Cunxi was after his father died. Li Cunxi came specially to pay his respects. He was still as young and friendly as before.
He followed his late father's words and took Li Cunxi as his uncle.
Now that I think about it, the old saying of the Tang Dynasty is really true: if you don’t listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences.
He listened, and so he benefited a lot.
"I just don't trust your Tang officials."
"I heard that there are eight or nine prime ministers in your court. If anyone still holds a grudge against us for attacking the Great Zhou, I'm afraid..."
Huang Zhen waved his hand: "This is just groundless worry."
……
It was noon.
The scouts came on horseback to report that three Leopard Divisions were coming from the border.
A total of 48,000 troops were marching towards Macuri with high morale.
At this moment, the enemy's vanguard was more than forty miles outside Macuri.
"Call the generals over."
Li Wanshan felt a headache and immediately asked everyone to come to him for a talk.
Soon, Sun Xiangzhou, Li Bushang, Bu Zhen, and Huang Zhen came one after another, and some Khitan generals came later. Everyone sat down as host and guest, waiting for Li Wanshan to speak.
Li Wanshan took a sip of wine, looked at everyone, and said, "Scouts report that the three Leopard Divisions on the border are approaching us."
"Two cups of tea ago, their vanguard was about forty miles away."
"Tell me, everyone. What are your thoughts? Or, in other words, how should we deal with this 48,000-strong army?"
As a former general of the Turkic Tiger Division, Buzhen knew best the combat effectiveness of the Leopard Division, so he took the initiative to step forward.
"The Leopard Division on the border is one of the strongest of the sixteen Turkic Leopard Divisions."
"They are no different from other Leopard Divisions. These Leopard Divisions also have a strength of 16,000 men. Their weapons won't change much. At most, they will have about a thousand more armored soldiers than a regular Leopard Division."
"Because they are border leopard divisions, they have about 2,000 to 3,000 cavalry, which is 500 to 1,000 more than regular leopard divisions."
"But its actual combat effectiveness is actually very limited. You should have experienced this when you fought against the Turks. The combat effectiveness of the Leopard Division is actually just that!"
"Only when you send out your elite troops will the Turkic Stone Kingdom's masters send out their elite troops to resist you."
Sun Xiangzhou stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and understood Bu Zhen's implication.
What this means is that these three Leopard Divisions are only slightly stronger than ordinary Leopard Divisions.
They can completely use the same methods they use to fight against ordinary Leopard Divisions to fight against the attacks of these three Leopard Divisions.
So, how to deal with ordinary Leopard Masters?
Of course it was the cavalry charge!
"Then let's cooperate again." Sun Xiangzhou said, "Bu Zhen, Huang Zhen, the three of us cavalry will charge them!"
"The enemy only has 48,000 troops in total, but we have over 30,000 cavalry alone!"
"We have three elite cavalry units. I don't believe these Leopard Divisions dare to fight back against us!"
Buzhen held his head high.
"Fight back at us?"
"Is it suitable?"
"Are they worthy?"
I have been with Bu Zhen and Sun Xiangzhou for quite a few days.
He also had a very good understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Khitan cavalry and the Yingzhou Guard cavalry.
It can be said that the three cavalry units together are invincible!
Even if the enemy knew the weakness of the Heavy Assault Corps Iron Harriers, they would set up an ambush in advance to annihilate the Iron Harriers.
The other party also needs this time to set up an ambush.
As long as he doesn't give the other party a chance to set an ambush, the other party can only stare at them.
Huang Zhen saw that his two good brothers who were fighting side by side were full of confidence, and the confidence that was originally lacking in his heart was also boosted by the two of them.
"it is good!"
"Our three cavalry units will attack together!"
"We must let them know how powerful we are!"
……
The vanguard of the Leopard Division consisted of a total of 12,000 people, which were composed of three Leopard Divisions. Each army had 4,000 people drawn out to form a vanguard army.
The vanguard army stopped thirty miles outside the Khitan army camp.
They set up camp on the spot and began to rest.
The scouts responsible for guarding against the situation from the direction of the Stone Kingdom only discovered the situation after fleeing more than 80 miles away. In the midst of the yellow sand, there was actually an army of more than 30,000 people resting.
The army's advance speed was very strange. It advanced a total of 40 miles in two days. This snail's pace made it impossible for the Khitan scouts to believe that this would be one of the reinforcements of the five Dulu tribes.
At this critical moment when the Tang Dynasty was still wasting time in the Turkic territory, another siege broke out in Chongzhou, an important border town between the Tang Dynasty and the Turkic people.
The Golden Horde Guards responsible for the siege symbolically approached Chongzhou City, and then retreated as quickly as possible. The Chongzhou defenders on the city wall only held bows without arrows, and let the Golden Horde Guards leave.
On the city gate tower, Wang Xiaojie and Dalha sat opposite each other drinking tea. The defense of the city was so easy that they thought for a moment that this was not a battle of offense and defense at all, but a weird game of playing house.
Just as the Golden Horde Guards were about to withdraw from the range of the arrows, a Turkic general drew his bow and shot an arrow at the top of Chongzhou City.
The arrow was like a meteor, landing steadily on the city gate tower.
When the Turkic general saw this scene, he led his troops back to Duoduo with a smile.
"General, it's already shot in."
"Do we still need to feint and attack Chongzhou now?"
Duoduo nodded and stroked his beard:
"Even if it's just for show, it's still great. What we need to do now is to pretend and make them think we are passively avoiding the fight."
"But actually, I can't let that guy Zieg know my specific thoughts."
No one knows what Duoduo is thinking.
Even the general who shot an arrow at Chongzhou City for him didn't know what Duoduo was going to do.
However, as long as they knew that Duoduo was trying to make Helu uncomfortable, they would be happy to complete the tasks Duoduo asked them to perform.
"Alright, drum roll everyone, let the others attack the city."
"It's still exactly the same as before. I ran back when I was still about twenty steps away from the bottom of the city wall."
"I will chop off the head of anyone who dares to fight against the Tang army!"
On the gate tower of Chongzhou City, Dalha and Wang Xiaojie had already obtained the arrow.
After taking off the letter tied to the arrow shaft, the two of them carefully looked at it and struck it.
"General Dodo of the Golden Horde pays homage to the two great generals..."
After reading Duoduo's letter, both of them had an expression of disbelief on their faces.
They looked at each other and couldn't help swallowing.
"He, he is actually, that one..."
