In the end Hudar decided to stay for one day before setting off.
The next day, Hudar's army packed up early in the morning and set off directly. According to Hudar's plan, their cavalry moved forward for about ten miles, and then the infantry and transported supplies followed behind, heading straight for Liaodong City.
But what Hudar didn't expect was that the cavalry of the army hadn't left Wugu City yet. To be precise, the cavalry of the army hadn't left yet. As a result, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty came out of nowhere, and there was a scene of chaos when they met. A hail of arrows greeted.
Hudar's army was not prepared at all. As a result, at least dozens of cavalry fell in such a hail of arrows. The heavy cavalry, which was already ready to set off, quickly launched a pursuit.
But the other party didn't stop at all, he just slapped him and left.
As he walked, he kept shooting arrows behind him.
After the cavalry chased for three or four miles, Hudar couldn't help but order the cavalry to stop the pursuit.
But after they stopped chasing, it was obvious that a group of about fifty light cavalrymen among Datang's cavalry came back following them.
The cavalry general responsible for the pursuit had to send out the light cavalry in his own team.
But it was useless. The horse power of both sides was almost the same, but the other side's bow and arrows were much stronger than theirs, and their shooting range was much further than that of Goguryeo's bows. After five people were shot and three were killed, they pursued The light cavalry units also had to come back.
And as soon as they came back, the other party stopped and followed them again, like a gadfly in the forest, unable to escape no matter what.
"Let them follow! Leave them alone!" Finally, Hudar gave the order. He could not disrupt his position because of this small group of scout cavalry.
Because they really can't catch each other. The opponent only has about fifty cavalry. The most you can do is send more than a hundred cavalry to drive the opponent away. Because there is no point in having more people. If you can't catch up, you still can't catch up. You will consume yourself out of thin air. of horsepower.
You can't send a thousand men out to chase fifty people.
More importantly, even if there are a thousand people, if you chase them far away, do you know if there are cavalry hidden in the enemy's woods? It doesn't even take too much. If there are a thousand cavalry hidden, a wave of arrows from a sneak attack may eat up most of their thousand cavalry team.
Hudar didn't even know who came up with such a disgusting tactic. As a nomad, he didn't expect that the cavalry could be so disgusting.
Especially when the cavalrymen have extremely high-quality bows and arrows that are not afraid of consumption, this kind of harassment is simply disgusting.
But soon, Hudar learned that they had even more disgusting tactics.
Less than ten miles after the army set off, they found a large number of felled trees on the road, and branches and other messy things accumulated on the road for at least five or six miles.
There are even many rocks pushed down from the mountain.
Hudar was almost angry to death when he saw this scene. These things are easy to destroy. After all, many big trees can just cut down the trees on the roadside.
But it would be very difficult to clear out such a heavy tree.
Without cleaning up, it would be almost impossible for the cavalry, infantry, and baggage to pass!
In desperation, Hudar could only appoint cavalry to lead the horses and send soldiers behind to clear the road quickly.
But after the entire road was cleared, a whole day passed, and the army only traveled less than twenty miles.
The road from Wugu City to Liaodong City is more than 400 miles. According to this time, it will take more than 20 days! More than twenty days later, whether Liaodong City is still there or not is unknown!
We can't go on like this, we must speed up the march.
Less than twenty miles away from Hudar, Qibi Heli and several others were also having a meeting.
"General, are we sure we want to do this?" a captain asked.
"Of course, our Tang Dynasty's weapons and equipment are indeed advanced, but it does not mean that we will not fight!" Qibi Heli said seriously, "If we want to show that we will drag the opponent down no matter what the cost, Here, then we can’t rely solely on harassment.”
"We have to beat them until they hurt. If Hudar wants to speed up his march, the only choice he can make is to send 30,000 cavalry forward, at least ten to twenty miles away from the infantry."
"In this way, if we create roadblocks like today, these cavalry will have enough time to clear the roadblocks, and the infantry will be the ones marching slowly. In this case, the infantry behind can go all out."
"According to his idea, if we only have 20,000 troops, we would not dare to contact their 30,000 cavalry, so we have to do the opposite."
Qibi Heli directly pointed to a point on the map and said: "Here. There is a relatively gentle hillside. The hillside was originally farmland reclaimed by the people. Because of the war, the farmland has not been sown, and the farmland has not been sown yet. It’s relatively flat, I’ve already sent people to investigate.”
"And hiding 10,000 cavalry on the top of the mountain won't be a problem."
"This place is about 800 meters away from the official road, and this area is a small plain. When the enemy's cavalry troops arrive here, we charge directly from the side!!"
"We won't stop. After a wave of arrows, we will directly slash and pierce through their formation. We don't want to kill the enemy, but it shouldn't be a problem to kill one or two thousand enemies with this wave of charge."
"After breaking through their formation, we charged forward directly, and they were bound to pursue us. At the mountain pass in front, five thousand light cavalry were ambushed in advance. After we crossed this place, they directly fired arrows at the fastest speed on the hillsides on both sides. Rain covered!”
"When the time comes, we will turn back and fight back with bows and arrows. No matter how many cavalry the enemy has, they have already been stretched into a long strip here. As long as our arrow rain is dense enough and we can shoot dozens of arrows from our body, it will be enough to stop any enemy. The enemy is in pursuit!"
Qibi Heli explained the battle plan simply and quickly.
"In addition, we have already hidden ten thousand cavalry near Wugu City. We will dispatch from behind them and directly dig their butts."
"The ones they left behind must be baggage troops. I guess they didn't dare to think that we actually had a wave of cavalry behind them."
"Tomorrow, the cavalry at the back will attack their baggage troops first. If Hudar calls for cavalry support, we will attack them when the front cavalry stops."
"clear!"
Many cavalry generals have no objections. Although the Tang army has indeed suffered fewer casualties due to the innovation of weapons and equipment in recent years, this does not mean that the Tang army does not dare to fight!
