Chapter 121: Everything is ready only to owe the east wind
Anyone who is familiar with history knows it.
How significant was the Tang Dynasty's annihilation of the Northern Desert Turks for the whole of China.
This is another bloody battle in the history of China.
It's not just about defeating a powerful enemy with a lot of blood debt.
It is also necessary to sound the clarion call for a nation to rise again in the world after suffering and war.
As a nomadic empire that has long invaded the Central Plains since the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Between China and the Turks, it is not just a matter of blood feud.
In the Peasant War at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was the ambitious Turks who deliberately supported several northern regimes that led to the protracted nature of this tragic civil war.
After the Tang Dynasty unified the north and the south, it was the violent southern invasion of the Turks, which once again dealt a heavy blow to the Chinese nation that was struggling to recover.
Since Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, the Tang Dynasty soldiers have been constantly pursued and beaten by the Turks on various battlefields.
The Chinese army, which was dominated by infantry, faced the Turkic iron cavalry with powerful smelting technology and advanced tactics, and once reached the point of being beaten unspeakably.
For Li Shimin, the Turks were even more of a shame imprinted on his soul.
Back then, he was infamous for killing his brother and preparing to build a steel power.
Who knew that before the throne was secured, he was given a dismount by the Turks.
In the civil war, the Tang Dynasty won all battles.
For some reason, in front of the Turks, it became mud and paper.
Even Li Chengqian, who had just come to this world, was dumbfounded.
How did Datang lose?
Why is the confused wine glass Turkic defeated army?
From the border all the way to Chang'an Weishui.
If it weren't for Li Shimin's impatience, he angrily denounced Jieli for betraying the covenant by the Weishui River.
Later, there were Tang Dynasty soldiers who fought bloodily, and finally tragically withstood the crazy offensive of the Turks, which made the Turks restrain their arrogance.
After receiving a large amount of gold and silver treasures from Datang, he proudly withdrew his troops!
But all the civil and military ministers and even ordinary people who have experienced the war understand it.
The Turkic retreat was only a brief truce.
Just as Li Chengqian told Li Jing, the Turkic people are as ferocious as wolves.
Either beat him to death or don't.
Otherwise, when the Turks are hungry the next time, they will inevitably make a comeback.
Cutting meat and feeding wolves can never be exchanged for peace, and a peaceful life can only be exchanged for iron and blood.
Li Chengqian clearly remembered the day when the Turks withdrew their troops.
Li Shimin stood at the head of the city with him in his arms, and only said eight words: "If you want to take it, you will stick to it." ”
Since then, Li Shimin has worked hard.
In particular, the building of armaments is even more grasped.
Li Shimin not only personally practiced mounted archery with the soldiers.
It also recreated a powerful cavalry corps.
So, this year.
Li Shimin declared war on the Turks on the grounds that the Turks had rebelled and sent people to assassinate the eldest prince and princess.
The Tang Dynasty man, who had already held back his grievances, set off with the blood of revenge.
Without defeating the Turks, it is impossible to eradicate the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty.
Without defeating the Turks, it is impossible for the people of the Tang Dynasty to truly recuperate.
In fact, this war is no longer for Li Shimin or for someone.
This war is to defend the opportunity for rebirth that the Chinese nation has won through hardships.
No one can take this opportunity away.
Turks, even more can't take it.
The soldiers were divided into six routes and four routes, gathering almost all the battlefield elites of the Chinese nation in the early Tang Dynasty.
Li Jing, Chai Shao, Li Tao, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, Wei Chi Jingde, Qin Shubao, Zhang Baoxiang, etc. are all shining names that are familiar to those who have heard the Sui and Tang Dynasty theme commentaries.
There is even Su Dingfang, who fought with the Tang Dynasty to the end of the civil war in the past.
At this moment, these Chinese soldiers have completely given up their old grudges.
Together, they stood under one banner and carried out the same order.
Fight back against the Turks!
……
That night, Li Jing led 3,000 light horsemen and hid in the darkness somewhere in the grassland.
They wrapped the horse's hooves in cotton cloth so that the horses would not make such a violent noise when they sprinted.
Su Dingfang, who was at the front of the crowd, gently stroked the mane of the war horse and looked at Li Jing.
"General, when will I attack?"
"Wait for the signal."
Li Jing replied lightly.
His gaze was fixed on the direction of the Turkic tent.
They had already discussed with Li Chengqian.
Waiting for Cheng Yanjin in the Turks to send a signal to himself.
They attacked immediately.
But until now, the direction of the tent is still very quiet.
Li Jing has actually started to play the drums in his heart.
Is your plan exposed?
……
Actually, it wasn't the plan that was exposed.
It's just that Cheng Yanjin drank happily and forgot about it.
I don't know how long it took, until a pawn next to him reminded him, Cheng Yanjin remembered to get down to business.
Cheng Biting Jin in the tooth tent stood up leisurely and hugged Jieli's neck.
"Brother Jieli, let me tell you, our Datang has a lot of good things."
"Today, I brought you some."
Jieli also drank a little too much, and glanced at Cheng Biting Jin.
"Lu Guogong, what did you bring me?"
Cheng Yanjin smiled mysteriously.
"Fireworks, have you seen them?"
"Fireworks?"
Jieli was a little confused.
He hadn't seen it, and he hadn't heard of it.
Cheng Yanjin smiled: "Then let's go, let's go and have a look." ”
After this meal, Jieli thought that he understood Cheng biting gold.
He thinks that Cheng Yanjin is a brave and unscrupulous, forceless and brainless guy.
So at this time, there was no doubt about him, and he walked out of the tooth tent with Cheng Yanjin.
Cheng Yanjin waved his hand and asked the soldiers who were guarding him to place all the fireworks.
These fireworks were all obtained from Li Chengqian.
Wait until the fireworks are placed, and wave his hand with Cheng Yanjin.
The fireworks were lit by the minions, and the flames flew out of the bamboo tubes.
After flying into the sky, the flash point instantly blooms into an incomparably brilliant fireworks.
At that moment, everyone in the Turks was dumbfounded.
Jieli was also dumbfounded.
When have they seen this?
At this moment, I was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of me.
It was also because he was stunned when he watched the fireworks, so he didn't notice Cheng Yanjin's gloomy expression.
Is he brave and unscrupulous?
If so, can Li Shimin reuse him for so long?
Can you fight wits and courage with the Manchu ministers in the court?
The most powerful thing about Cheng Biting Jin is that he seems to be rough, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair.
This firework is to send a message to Li Jing, who was ambushed outside.
……
At this moment, I saw fireworks blooming in the tooth tent.
Li Jing directly gave an order to Su Dingfang beside him: "Su Dingfang, I order you to lead two hundred horsemen to fight into the enemy camp, and wherever you pass, there is no armor left." ”
Su Dingfang arched his hand and said: "Subordinate, obey the order." ”
However, Li Jing said again: "Remember, the first stop is the final battle, as long as the war starts, don't give Jieli a way to live." ”
"Yes!"
Su Dingfang took the order and left.
In the crowd, two hundred light horses that had already been selected were selected and took advantage of the night.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Turks were attracted by the fireworks, they quickly approached the Turkic camp.
The loud explosion of the fireworks drowned out the sound of horses' hooves running wildly to a certain extent.
Moreover, Li Chengqian gave Cheng a lot of fireworks this time.
At first, it was the high-pitched fireworks that bloomed, and then the fireworks that burst out close to the ground.
The fireworks are to convey the news to Li Jing, and the fireworks are to hide people's eyes.
Therefore, Su Dingfang's 200 light cavalry rushed into the Turkic camp almost without hindrance......
