Perhaps Yan Ling pretended to be too calm as the wind. After Li Shimin thoroughly understood the function of the horseshoe, he only rewarded Yan Ling with a bunch of money and did not allow Yan Ling to rise in his position in the army!
Yan Ling was a little puzzled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out. The army had just fought a war recently. After the recruitment of personnel in the past month, the vacancies in the army had almost been filled. Li Shimin probably really
I couldn't find a suitable place to arrange Yan Ling, so I had to give Yan Ling a lot of silver to comfort him!
Although he was not promoted to a higher position, Yan Ling did not mean to be unhappy. It was purely an accumulation. It was impossible for Li Shimin to directly obliterate the contribution of horseshoes. He would always think of it when giving rewards based on merit in the future.
of this matter.
Just when Yan Ling returned to the cavalry camp to continue training his soldiers, thinking that he would continue to carry the guns for a few more months, a secret agent returning from the Turkic direction broke the peace.
"General, when my subordinates were patrolling along the Fen River, they discovered that a Turkic team of more than 2,000 horses was heading south. It will enter Taiyuan soon. General, please make preparations in advance!"
Near noon, in Li Shimin's military tent, a soldier dressed as a scout bent slightly and stood in the middle of the military tent to report his major discovery to Li Shimin.
"Is the news confirmed?" At this time, Li Shimin also lost his usual smile and confirmed very seriously.
Li Shimin really hoped that this was false news, but unfortunately the look and answer of the scout in the middle of the military tent made Li Shimin understand that the news was true!
"You go down first. Don't spread this news out yet. When I repel this Turkic army, I will naturally not forget your contribution. Do you understand?" Li Shimin pinched his eyes and waved the scouts to leave first, and was not ready.
Let this news be revealed so that the people within the territory will not panic!
"Yes, General!" This is also an old scout, so he naturally knows what news to say and what not to say!
After the scouts left, Li Shimin ordered the guards around him: "Go and invite General Zhao Fei and General Zhang Yu!"
"yes!"
After Li Shimin's two generals, who now commanded the cavalry and infantry respectively, entered the military tent, a long period of time passed. Except for those present, no one else could know that Li Shimin was trying to deal with this Turkic force whose position had not yet been determined.
, what deployment was made!
Yan Ling only knew that Commander Zhao Fei went to Li Shimin's military tent that afternoon, and when he came back, he began to summon his commanders to go to his tent to discuss important matters!
"Everyone, General Li has just learned that a Turkic cavalry is heading south. However, since it is currently unclear where this cavalry is, General Li hopes that our cavalry battalion can search for this cavalry along the place where the scouts found the news.
Whereabouts." Zhao Fei sat in the main seat in the tent, looked around at the commanders, told everyone the news from Li Shimin, and at the same time gave Li Shimin's instructions.
"So, what does the commander-in-chief want us to do?" It was a junior commander who asked.
Zhao Fei ordered: "After you go down, wait for the logistics to be ready. We will officially set off tomorrow. Someone will notify you in which direction you should patrol!"
"Then what should we do if we encounter Turkic troops?" Another commander asked.
Zhao Fei continued to answer: "Send someone to report directly, and at the same time continue to follow this team and keep their whereabouts in hand."
At this time, just after everyone understood what was to be done next and was about to disperse, Yan Ling suddenly asked: "Commander, what if we are discovered while following the Turks?"
"Run, just run. If you are discovered, you must do everything you can to survive. Even if you cannot retreat safely, you must delay the Turkic troops as much as possible and make a big noise so that our rear can discover this as soon as possible.
The whereabouts of the Turkic troops!" Zhao Fei followed the method of discovering Turkic troops during border patrols in the past, and replied to Yan Ling and everyone present.
"What if the other party is also alone?" Yan Ling slowed down and continued to ask.
When Zhao Fei heard this, he turned to look at Yan Ling and noticed the fierce aura of eagerness in Yan Ling's eyes. He couldn't help but be startled. He pondered for half a minute before replying: "Well... if you are sure, you can directly take action to eliminate the Turks."
All the vitality!"
To be honest, Yan Ling's question has never been asked before. Everyone who has been on the battlefield knows the field combat capabilities of Turkic cavalry very well. When meeting Turkic cavalry in the wild, everyone's first reaction is to run to the walled city and then occupy the city.
And defend, use the geographical advantage to eliminate or drive back the Turks.
Zhao Fei thought about how everyone had dealt with the Turkic cavalry in the past, and then looked at the high fighting spirit in Yan Ling's eyes, and his heart moved. If it were matched with the horseshoes Yan Ling had made before, maybe the cavalry battalion today would already have the Turkic cavalry.
The chance of a head-on battle is uncertain.
"Perhaps, we will have to change our attitude towards the Turkic cavalry in the future!" Zhao Fei looked at the commanders who were leaving and said secretly in his heart.
"Commander, has something big happened?" After leaving Zhao Fei's military tent, Yan Ling returned directly to the location of his team. As soon as he entered the camp, Yan Ling was discovered by a soldier guarding the door. The soldier quickly stepped forward.
After two steps, he came to Yan Ling and asked.
Yan Ling comes from the 21st century on earth and is well aware of the terrifying power of the people, especially in places like the military. If there is no invincible force that sweeps the world, then we must lay a good foundation of the masses. In the future, when we go to the battlefield, we can rely on it.
The only ones who fight are the comrades around him. Although Yan Ling has never been on the battlefield, he is very clear about this truth.
Therefore, Yan Ling is usually very easy-going and passes on the secret method of wielding a big gun to his subordinates, hoping that the soldiers in his hands will become stronger and help him more on the battlefield!
"It is true that something big happened. The scouts sent by General Li discovered that a Turkic troop was heading south. But after he came back to report, we lost control of the whereabouts of this troop. Commander Zhao was anxious for us to go there, so he asked us to lead the troop and go
Make trouble for these Turkic brats!" Yan Ling replied, not hiding the military situation, but directly telling all the news he learned.
Yan Ling knew very well the hatred these soldiers had for the Turks. After experiencing the war with the Turks, these soldiers understood the horror of the Turks better than anyone else, and also understood what the Turks' invasion meant to ordinary people. Naturally, they were not worried about this.
The crowd will spread the news randomly.
"Okay, please go down and get everyone ready for me. We will set off tomorrow!" Yan Ling interrupted the soldier who continued to ask questions and waved his hand.
After saying that, Yan Ling walked to the military tent where he rested and worked.
As soon as Yan Ling left, a group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded the soldier who was seeking information from Yan Ling.
"Fourth, what did the commander say?" As soon as this question came out, everyone surrounding the soldier suddenly fell silent and focused their eyes on Fourth.
Looking at his comrades surrounding him, Lao Si suddenly smiled softly, but said with a hint of excitement in his eyes: "The commander said that he will take us to find trouble with the Turks tomorrow and avenge the two commanders and brothers who died.
avenge!"
"real?"
"That's right, Fourth Brother, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
Hearing this, everyone around them was immediately excited. These people were all people who survived the last war. The love between the soldiers on the battlefield has always been extremely sincere and strong. Moreover, the two previous commanders led a group of injured people.
After the refractory brother cut them off, the group of people successfully left the center of the battlefield and persisted until the end of the battle.
Now that they heard about the opportunity to cause trouble with the Turks, these people couldn't help but be excited! (To be continued)
