Great Tang’s Talented Little Landlord

After seeing the several li camps in front of him with his own eyes, Li Wangyou suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake…that was ignoring the numerical advantage of the Syr-Tardush army !

Although he knows the Achilles’ heel of Syr-Tardush’s dismounted cavalry formation, facing an absolute advantage, it is as difficult as heavenly ascension to defeat this weakness.

Zhenzhu Khan holds a large army of hundreds of thousands, and it is impossible to put all his troops into battle at once.

Then even if he defeated the Syr-Tardush army of tens of thousands, it didn’t make any sense. Zhenzhu Khan still holds the nearly hundred thousand army in his hand, and he will not be given a second chance to send cavalry to raid the rear horse team.

Take ten thousand steps and say that even if Zhenzhu Khan is so mentally disabled that he orders all hundreds of thousands of troops to dismount to fight against Great Tang, Li Wangyou has no chance.

Be aware that there are five people in the Syr-Tardush army. During the battle, four people dismount the horses and one guards the horses in the rear.

An army of hundreds of thousands, just the rear army guarding the horses in the rear, there are nearly 30,000!

In the hands of Li Wangyou, the cavalry only has two thousand horses.

Unless he can conjure thousands of cavalry, he would want to defeat 30,000 with only two thousand cavalry, which is tantamount to a dream!

Another way to defeat the Syr-Tardush army is to use the three-stage shooting of the composite steel crossbow. Li Wangyou is convinced that there are only enough crossbow arrows, even if there is a magnificent army with thousands of men and horses on the opposite side, he is not ashamed.

But the bad thing is, the arrow feathers in the quiver of two thousand crossbowmen are limited.

This is not a real-time strategy game. As long as there are soldiers, there is an endless stream of bows and arrows that can be shot.

Tang Army standard configuration, each crossbowman carries 70 five crossbow arrows, which is the same as the configuration of later Mongolian cavalry. This is already dependent on Great Tang now that there is no shortage of horses, and the crossbowmen can be equipped with enough horses to carry supplies and other materials, otherwise they will not be able to carry so many crossbow arrows.

Medieval European longbowmen usually only have fifty arrows when they are fully loaded.

As for the two thousand crossbowmen under Li Wangyou’s command, they chased them all the way, and the crossbow arrows in the quiver were all consumed, but now they still have fifty-sixty crossbow arrows.

With these crossbow arrows alone, it would be wishful thinking to defeat the hundreds of thousands of Syr-Tardush cavalry on the opposite side.

Without the crossbow arrows, the composite steel crossbow in the hands of two thousand crossbowmen is just like a firearm without bullets, not even the Fire Burning Stick.

If Zhenzhu Khan doesn’t care, and hundreds of thousands of troops are surrounded on all sides, then he Li Wangyou has great ability, and I am afraid it is impossible to escape.

After trying to understand these things, Li Wangyou couldn’t help sweating on his back.

For the persuasion of the dudes and Mi Tuo, although Li Wangyou was unwilling, he could only silently nodded: “Okay! Let’s withdraw! Special mother, the two bastards of Yi Nan and Illig Khan. !”

Spitting resentfully under the hill, Li Wangyou turned around to greet everyone down the mountain and prepare to retreat.

Li Wangyou admitted that he was going to run away, but Zhenzhu Khan was willing to let him go.

After Li Wangyou made the decision, the Tang Army directly abandoned the camp that had just been set up. The back team changed to the front team and retreated straight south.

But the army rushed out only several dozen li, and the scouts guarding and investigating at the back of the army rushed to report, and the Syr-Tardush army also came out, chasing after the Tang Army.

Li Wangyou cursed secretly in his heart, but he had no choice but to order the whole army to speed up and retreat south.

Today’s situation is completely reversed from the previous days.

Before Li Wangyou led the Tang Army to chase Illig Khan all the way, but now it is Zhenzhu Khan who leads his son Illig Khan to chase Li Wangyou…

I also lost the nine thousand led by Li Wangyou Tang Qi had no shortage of horses, one man, three horses, and a small unit moving forward lightly. For a while, he would be overtaken by the Syr-Tardush army.

But this situation took a turn for the worse, but the morale of the Nine Thousand Tang Army fell to the bottom.

They were the arrogant winners a second, and the next moment was beaten like a stray dog by the Syr-Tardush people, which was really shocking.

The Tang Army withdrew all the way south, but the Syr-Tardush army was reluctant and pursued.

Who let Li Wangyou kill Zhenzhu Khans protagonist and lead Tang Army to defeat Illig Khans fifty thousand cavalry? He also chased and killed unscrupulously all the way to the king of Syr-Tardush. Where the court is located.

If Zhenzhu Khan submits to humiliation in this way and does not retaliate, then he might not be able to sit still.

After all, not long after Syr-Tardush was founded, the various tribes in Khan were still unstable. If Li Wangyou is allowed to slap her face so grandiosely and then go away, I am afraid that it will not take long before the Syr-Tardush Khanate will split.

In order to stop Tang Qinan from fleeing, Zhenzhu Khan dispatched all the ten thousand wolves under his command.

With the speed of the steed under their hips, this 10,000 wolf rider caused a lot of trouble to Li Wangyou’s Tang ride. Fortunately, with the composite steel crossbow in his hand, it was enough to suppress the arrogance of the wolf rider.

After dropping a hundred corpses, the wolf rider did not dare to push into the Tang Army anymore. He could only fall behind Tang Qi not too far away, harassing the Tang Army marching day and night. speed.

In this regard, the Tang Army is also miserable, but because the horse is not as fast as the opponent, it can’t chase or catch up, and can’t drive it away. Li Wangyou didn’t have any good solutions, so he could only ignore them.

Just chase and flee like this, ten or so days time flies.

Nine thousand Tang riders during this period suffered nearly 100 casualties due to the harassment of wolf riders. Of course, the Syr-Tardush wolf rider was not pleased. In order to delay the Tang Army’s southward retreat, nearly a thousand corpses were left behind.

But even so, Tang Army is in trouble.

Mobei is really too big. It takes more the 2000 li from Yudujun Mountain to the Great Wall.

Tang Army travels lightly, and it only takes about a hundred miles a day. To return to Great Tang and cross the Great Wall, now the journey is only halfway through.

But being chased by the Syr-Tardush army for ten or so days, wolves continue to harass, people are tired and horses are exhausted, and it seems that they will be unsustainable.

On this day, the Tang Army rushed into a river valley before sunset. Li Wangyou quickly ordered the army to camp here for repairs.

Although Mobei is a grassland, it also has mountain range rivers.

The valley where they are now is surrounded by rocks on both sides. The trees on the mountain are lush and there is a winding river several meters wide at the bottom of the valley.

The entire river valley is no more than a hundred steps wide, easy to defend and hard to attack, but it is a rare place for Tang Army to rest and retreat, at least not to worry about being attacked by a wolf rider in the middle of the night.

As long as you get stuck at the entrance of the valley, you will not worry about the harassment of the wolf ride.

The exhausted Tang Army dismounted one after another, and without time to rest, they led the same tired horses to the river to drink and brush. These horses are the Tang Armys most trustworthy partners, so taking care of the horses is the top priority of every Tang Army.

After Li Wangyou and the young men gave their horses to the side guards and guards to take care of them, they were not idle. They led a few guards and waited on the hillside, preparing to observe. Fan enemy situation.

Looking at the wolf cavalry army camped outside several li, Li Wangyou couldn’t help cursing inwardly.

Fang Yiai even cursed directly: “Mothafucker, these damn wolf rides are really soul of a deceased has not yet dispersed! Ziyou, how is it good now? If you run like this, I The waiting horses may not be able to hold on for long, I am afraid they will not be able to run the wolf pups who grew up on the grassland.”

Li Wangyou silently nodded, Fang Yiai said, in fact, everyone knows it, but its just suffering. Break the game.

For a while, everyone was silent.

For a long time, Mi Tuo suddenly said: “His Royal Highness, the old slave courageously speaks. This is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It’s not like your Highness hand over the army to the old slave. Your Highness still has nothing to do with it. Quickly return to Ch_ng’n, that is, Your Majesty is still in Taiji Palace waiting for His Royal Highness to return.”

Mi Tuo’s words gave Li Wangyou and everyone a glimpse, and he reacted immediately and understood. Mi Tuo What does this mean.

Obviously, Mi Tuo intends to lead the rest of the Tang Army and defend the valley here, giving Li Wangyou and the gangsters time to escape.

For the Tang Army’s ability, even if Zhenzhu Khan led an army of more than 100,000 to arrive, it may not be able to break the Tang Army’s defense in a short while.

As long as a few days of work, Li Wangyou and the others can easily escape from the chase of the Syr-Tardush army.

Mi Tuo’s words made the young men looked at each other in blank dismay, but they did not know how to answer for a while.

If they say that they don’t want to steal their lives, it is naturally false.

But if they want them to leave the Tang Army and escape by themselves, Cheng Chumo and the others are absolutely unwilling.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and all turned their eyes to Li Wangyou, wanting to see how he answered.

Li Wangyou smiled at Haha and reached out to patted Mi Tuo’s shoulder: “Haha, Mi Tuo, I am still alive, so you want to grab my military power? Go away! Dont forget, Your Majesty Without making an order, I will still be Chief Manger of the West Expeditionary Army!”

“His Royal Highness…” Mi Tuo was anxious, but when he wanted to persuade him again, Li Wangyou side Ah Di suddenly spoke.

“Not good, smoke and dust appeared on the south side of the river valley, and cavalry appeared!”

Everyone was shocked by Ah Dis words, and they turned their heads to look…
