Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 22 Friendship in War

"Xiaohan, you are talking to me about the second method you mentioned. Knowing this and knowing the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. I know this. Tell me how your method is different."

"Uncle, you only know that the Turkic people are very strong in cavalry and faster than the Tang Dynasty, but you all ignore that the Turkic people are composed of various tribes, and they are not very united. If you fight them in an all-round way, it is better to gather the main force to attack a little bit. , as long as they break through one of their large tribes, the Turks will riot, and then the Turks will be defeated."

"The second point is that their life is different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Turkic people don't do production. Their source of income is cattle and sheep, so they can only watch God for food. If there is heavy snow in winter, the Turkic cattle and sheep will become pieces. The death of them, when they have nothing to eat, is the best time for us to attack them."

"They wouldn't have thought that we would attack them when it was snowing heavily in winter. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to gather troops. The road is blocked by heavy snow, which is the best time for us to attack them all."

"Okay, okay, haha, Xiaohan, I really didn't expect that you still have such an idea, yes, but how do we know when they will snow in winter? You also know that His Majesty is now bent on attacking the Turks. This is his heart disease .”

"Uncle, His Majesty has just ascended the throne. It is not the time to launch an army. We must first stabilize the people's hearts. This time will take at least two or three years, and we don't have to wait for heavy snow to block the road. As long as the winter is colder than previous years, the Turkic The cattle and sheep will definitely be damaged, but our Tang soldiers need to be fast, if they are slow, they will become passive."

Zhao Han thought to himself, in the third year of Zhenguan, the Turkic winter will come, and next year will be the time when the locust plague will be raging in the Tang Dynasty. , Waiting for the third year of Zhenguan to attack the Turks will definitely win, and besides, when his own explosives may be produced, the Turks are just small stones on the road.

"Haha, that's right. Tomorrow you and I will meet the emperor. You have won the credit. Now it's up to your horseshoes, but uncle believes in you."

When the two were talking, the blacksmith also finished the horseshoe, and then came out with the horseshoe to find Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Han.

"The little one has seen the master and the uncle, and the little one has already finished the horseshoe, what do you think, uncle?"

Zhao Han took the horseshoe from the blacksmith's hand, looked at it, nodded and said: Yes, you have worked hard, go to rest, I am the master, get two hundred copper coins from the housekeeper tomorrow, go back and rest .

"Thank you, Master and Uncle, I'll leave the little one."

Zhao Han handed the horseshoe to Cheng Yaojin and said: Uncle, let's find a horse and try it now?

"Go, go to the training ground to find a horse to try this horseshoe, and then hurry to the training ground."

When we arrived at the training ground, there was already a servant leading a horse waiting for me and Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin handed the horseshoe to Zhao Han, and asked Zhao Han to instruct the servant how to put the horseshoe on the horse. After Zhao Han took the horseshoe and walked towards the servant, he walked up to the servant and said: "Lift up the horse's hoof, and then Put this piece of iron under the horse's hoof, and use this nail to drive it in.

The servants followed Zhao Han's instructions. They were not proficient at first, so it took a lot of time, but they finally nailed the horseshoe on.

"Look, uncle, how is the little one doing?"

"Well, that's good, find someone to find some small stones to lay on the road, and then ride a horse on it for a few laps to see."

Cheng Yaojin had stood by and watched for a long time. Seeing that it was all good, he wanted to try riding a horse himself, and said: You can find someone to lay small stones, and I will do the horse riding test.

Zhao Han didn't stop him either. Cheng Yaojin is the general on horseback, and his riding skills are top-notch, so he doesn't worry about it. The most important thing is to have confidence in the horseshoes he made. Worry.

After the servant paved the road with small stones, he said to Cheng Yaojin: "Master, the road has been paved. Do you want to find a servant to try?"If the master makes a mistake, the little one can't afford it.

"Go, go, is your master so fragile? Let you see, your master's skills are all set aside, and after finishing speaking, he got on the horse and rushed forward. Although the journey was bumpy, the speed of the horse's running Nothing less."

After Cheng Yaojin rode the horse for three or four laps, he got off the horse and said, "It's cool, haha, I didn't dare to run too fast when I encountered this kind of road before, for fear of ruining my horse."

"Come quickly, let's see if the horse's hooves are damaged. Cheng Yaojin is also worried and guards by the side, fearing that the effect will not be good."

On the contrary, Zhao Han was not worried at all, because he had such confidence, he walked up to Cheng Yaojin slowly and said: Uncle, are you okay?

"It's okay, it's okay, first look at the damage to the horse's hoof, my heart is beating fast now, I told you that it was only when I attacked Xuanwumen that my heartbeat was like this."

The servants checked the four horseshoes of the horse. Except for the damage to the horseshoe, there was nothing wrong with the horseshoe. Excitedly, he turned to Cheng Yaojin and said: "Old... old... master, the horseshoe is not... damaged, only the horseshoe is a little damaged , nothing serious, the servants all cried out excitedly, most of the servants of the Cheng Mansion are Cheng Yaojin's personal soldiers, and they are all top riders on the battlefield, they know how important the horseshoe is, if the horseshoe appears earlier, maybe there will be My good brothers would not die, and they all burst into tears, thinking of those life and death partings, even the strong man couldn't help crying.

Cheng Yaojin turned his head away, he didn't want them to see him weeping, all of them came down from the battlefield, they all experienced good brothers being killed in front of him, saying that he was cold-blooded, they were all lying to others, only he knew that he was not Cold-blooded, but I have seen too much, I have long been numb, numb myself, let myself not think of those life and death partings in the past.

Zhao Han has never experienced such a battle on the battlefield, but later generations have watched too many TV dramas, and understand their friendship on the battlefield. This is the real brother, the real iron-blooded man. To be honest, Zhao Han is very envious of their friendship, no Mix it with something else, or there will be a classic saying in later generations.

"I regret being a soldier for three years, but I regret not being a soldier for a lifetime."

Zhao Han stood behind them, silently watching the group of iron-blooded men cry, thinking, "Men don't flick their tears easily, but they haven't reached the point of sadness."

Their cries also infected Zhao Han's heart.

Zhao Han decided in his heart that he must form a special force of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Instead of making the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty so miserable, he wanted to form an invincible army that would kill gods when they met gods and Buddhas when they met Buddhas.

This army finally made all the countries tremble when they saw it, because this army can destroy a country.

But this is all for later.
