Chapter 170 The Role of the Thog
Zhang Yang looked at the sun hanging in the sky, and the bright sun shone on him, warm. His mood is extremely calm.
The first battle was fought so smoothly.
This battle will be a beginning. In the future history, such a stroke will be written: In October of the twelfth year, Yuanting found Zhang Shicheng in the murder port, sent troops to attack, and returned after a great defeat. Zhang Shicheng rose up and blew the horn of the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty.
At this time, a few months earlier than the Zhang Shicheng uprising in real history, the arrival of Zhang Yang accelerated the process of history.
In the camp, the commanders have come back happily. They gathered in the hall of the killing port, with expressions and discussions.
Today's battle is really exciting! He has always been pressed by the tartars. Once he turns over, he is naturally in a particularly happy mood. Moreover, it was not the new annexed army, the Qianqian army, but the most elite Mongolian cavalry in the Yuan army. In the wild, there were no strong walls. With only the trenches dug out in a day, the tars were almost completely destroyed and nearly 400 intact soldiers and horses were captured, which was also a large amount of wealth.
With war horses, the army has wings to take off. For war horses, it is a material prohibited by the Mongolians. Even if they have money, it is impossible to buy war horses in large quantities.
So, after the battle began, all the people were aiming at the rider on the horse, and when they saw the horse's eyes, it was as if they saw their own property. They absolutely did not shoot at the horse unless they had to.
For this reason, although Tang He caught several prisoners, he stabbed the horse to death and became the handle of everyone's words.
Well, I wiped out all the Tatars, and none of them ran away. None of you had as many Tatars I had killed, so it was unbalanced. A few war horses were nothing. I stabbed a few horses, which were more than you captured. Tang and disapprove of it.
"Shh! Stop it, big brother is coming in!"
Zhang Yang took Li Shanchang into the hall in high spirits. Everyone immediately calmed down.
Zhang Yang sat on the first chair, and Li Shanchang stood aside.
"Brothers," Zhang Yang said, "Today's battle is just the beginning. Although we have won, there are still many mistakes. After each battle, we must summarize in time to make progress all the time."
Everyone calm down. This has become a common practice. The last attack on Furongzhai concluded that the key to success lies in strict training. What will the eldest brother emphasize this time?
"First of all, let's report the results and casualties. Lv Zhen, you come first." Zhang Yang said.
"Brother, there are more than 50 people in my team, mainly responsible for the defense in the north. This time, a total of more than 180 tars were eliminated and more than 100 horses were captured. As for the casualties, two people sprained their feet." Lu Zhen said with a red face.
I don't know if it was sprained when chasing or when I escaped back? If it weren't for the eldest brother on it, Tang He really wanted to ask.
Zhang Yang was expressionless and continued, "Dingchen, what about you?"
"Brother, I anniled more than 200 tars, captured four prisoners alive, and captured 190 war horses. Casualties, only one person was shot an arrow in the shoulder. Tang He said loudly, and the expression on his face was very fluttering.
"Yuan Heng, where are you?"
"Brother, the guard and I killed 83 tars who came to the shore together and escaped more than a dozen of them. In addition, I was responsible for blocking the tartars on the river. It turned out that the reinforcements were mainly the family members of the large families. There were only a few sporadians. The tars were all destroyed, and more than 300 soldiers were killed and captured. More than fifty. Nearly 20 or 30 escaped and six large ships were captured. Casualties, no. Bian Yuanheng did not have much pride when he reported, because he destroyed very few tars.
More than 300 Ding? Have you captured more than 50 people? There are still six big ships? Everyone was surprised by this record, especially the six big ships, which are treasures.
Zhang Yang nodded. He knew why Bian Yuanheng did not have much joy. Those who were killed were all Han people. Although they fought for the tiger, after all, they were all from the Central Plains and had to untie this knot.
Every time you finish a battle, you should summarize it in time, so that you can learn lessons and make more progress. Fighting is to bleed to death. Learn more lessons from others, and you can have more chances to survive.
Zhang Yang said, "So what's the reason for the achievement we have achieved this time besides the power of Tianque?"
"There's no need to say, of course it's this trench!" Tang He said.
"Dingchen, tell me, what is the role of our trench?" Zhang Yang asked.
Tang He has long thought about it: "Our trench can play a role in protecting ourselves. When the enemy shoots bows and arrows, we squat in the trenches, and most of the bows and arrows are dodged. After that, we shoot again, and our sky, unlike pulling bows and arrows, requires the strength of the whole body. You just need to shoot in a standing position. Our trenches, together with Tianque, are simply invincible.
"Well, you're right, so why did someone still get shot?" Zhang Yang asked.
"The flow is ruthless. It's just his bad luck."
"No, before the war, I said that I should place the board in advance in the trench. Once I find the enemy shooting arrows, I immediately set up the board and hide under the board. Why don't you do it?" Zhang Yang asked.
"This..." Tang He blushed: "I didn't find the board."
"There is no wooden board, and it's okay to have bamboo chops!" Zhang Yang said, "Although the arrows are ruthless, we should try our best to reduce casualties. The wooden board is equivalent to having an air-raid shelter. Even if the enemy throws arrows, we will be unharmed."
Everyone nodded, especially the word "bild shelter", which was so appropriate!
"Lv Zhen, tell me." Zhang Yang said.
Lv Zhen knew that this was the eldest brother reminding himself. He still blushed just now and said, "Tang He is right. We can effectively protect ourselves and fight the enemy in the trenches, so we can't get out of the cover of the trenches and fight with the Tutar cavalry in the dangerous field."
Everyone looked at Lv Zhen with ridiculous eyes. They all knew that if the eldest brother hadn't arrived in time today, this reckless Lv Zhen would have made a big deal.
Zhang Yang nodded: "One of the great advantages of the tar cavalry is that the maneuverability is very strong and the speed is fast. Our two-legged people will definitely not be able to run through them. Therefore, let everyone dig trenches. With the cover of the trenches, we can effectively protect ourselves and attack the enemy. Unless the tars jump off the horse, otherwise, There is nothing we can do about us hiding in the trenches. However, once we break away from the cover of the trenches, it is to attack the enemy with our own weakness. It is extremely foolish to do so.
Everyone nodded. After today's battle, they have a deeper understanding of the eldest brother's trench.
"If our strength is a little stronger, for example, if we have five hundred, one thousand, or even five thousand, then we don't need to dig trenches at all. Everyone is arranged according to the scattered soldiers, and one shot will kill all the tartar cavalry. However, we only have 200 heavenly lances now, and the density of bullets and rain is not very Big, it won't have much effect on the tartar cavalry. Therefore, we should be good at using the cover of the trenches to effectively protect ourselves and destroy the enemy. Zhang Yang concluded.
Looking at everyone's thoughtful look, Zhang Yang knew that his words had played a role. Next, I want to talk to you about what the enemy is.
