The carriage of the carriage was very high, and Li Chengqian, who was standing on the carriage, was able to cross the camp tent and see the battlefield.

There are no martial arts masters who shoot the eighteen palms of the dragon, and some are just the simplest slashing.

This group of Turks is strange, although it is night, but there is something wrong without riding. The Machemitar of the Turks is only extraordinarily effective in horse combat, and the ground battle is a bit nondescript. What's more, the quality of the horizontal knife of the Tang Dynasty is much better than that of the scimitar, and the powerful soldiers can even cut off the scimitars of the Turks.

The horizontal knife is really a big killing weapon, and some people who are not wearing leather armor will even be cut into two pieces by the horizontal knife. This is a real thing happening right now, not a deliberate exaggeration.

At this time, no one could tell who was clear, only the Tang army in armor and the Turks could clearly distinguish between them.

But that's enough.

With an arrow and a bow, Li Chengqian aimed at a large area of the Turks. His archery skills are not yet accurate, and if he rushes to help his allies, he may end up shooting his own people.

The arrows can't be seen when they go out, and the arrows in the dark can't see the landing point at all, which is why the bow and arrow are basically not used at night.

But you can't use a bow and arrow. A thousand forbidden soldiers and those eunuchs were desperately guarding the carriage, and they made up their minds that they would rather watch their brother die than let the prince be in danger.

In an irritable mood, Li Chengqian didn't take long to shoot his quiver empty.

Throwing the empty quiver to the ground, Li Chengqian yelled at the two eunuchs under the carriage who were ready to catch him at any time: "Bring arrows to Gu!" ”

was yelled at, and the two of them remembered to bring the quiver.

The battle happens as quickly as it ends.

If it were any other force, it might have been a stalemate for a long time.

But unfortunately, the crown prince himself led a team of four thousand.

Whether it is equipment or combat effectiveness, they are too much beyond ordinary soldiers. And when the battle starts, the other teams will be in a mess, they will not, but will spontaneously form all kinds of strange formations, and they will also help each other. The battle formation of 2,000 men led by the crown prince himself, like a meat grinder, advanced from the back of the battlefield to the front, and a small half of the Turks were already dead.

Only when the Tang army is evenly matched can it fight, but when the Tang army is fighting more and less, the remaining Turks can only gather and face the Tang army back to back.

The die is cast!

It was only at this time that Li Chengqian was allowed to approach the battlefield, and the remnants of the Turkic people under heavy siege, although there were still a thousand in number, were not in the climate.

jumped out of the carriage, walked to Zhang Yun and Yu Tai, who were covered in blood, and asked, "Why don't you start?" Do you want to keep it for the New Year? ”

Yu Tai shook his head, rubbed his fingers and said, "Your Highness, we have a big bargain!" Look at the people in the center of the procession, with golden swords on their waists, only the top Turkic nobles have such an honor. The heads of these people are heavier than ordinary military exploits! ”

As soon as Yu Tai's voice fell, a big man came out of the Turkic ranks, took off his shirt in the cold wind, and shouted at Yu Tai in a gurgling voice.

It was Yu Tai who controlled the team just now, so he should have thought that this person was led by the Tang people. 手机端 一秒記住→.\B\\\\.\\為你提供精彩\novel說薱讀。

"What did he say?"

A partial general who could speak Turkic clenched his fists and said: "Back to His Highness, this person said that he is a Turkic nobleman, and he wants to duel with General Yu Tai, a one-on-one duel!" ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Yu Tai strangely, this guy was going to take off his armor and fight.

Damn, I thought that such a bridge was only available in TV series such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but I didn't expect to see it today.

Seeing that the prince was puzzled, the general who translated hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this is an unwritten rule in the battle between the two armies. If one of the parties is a nobleman, they are entitled to choose a decent way to die. Since he chose to duel with General Yu Tai, General Yu Tai could choose to refuse or agree. If you refuse, you just need to kill the person. But if you agree, General Yu Tai loses, and we will let this person go. ”

After speaking, the general pursed his lips: "But the last general thinks he is dead." ”

Although Yu Tai is only a general led by the crown prince, he has seen too many battlefields, and the scars all over his body are traces of bad luck and also marks of experience. On the battlefield, it is not said that whoever is fierce and fierce will definitely survive. Zhang Yun's skills are superb, but one hand is still bleeding.

I wasn't interested in paying attention to Yu Tai's brain-dead move, so instead of playing here in the middle of the night, it was better to go back to the camp to rest and rest. So as not to be confused and laughed at when you get Ma Yi.

Yu Tai, who had taken off his bare arms, was just about to enter, but suddenly felt the sound of a bowstring behind him.

After avoiding the side, he saw that it was the prince who opened the bow, and the arrow was stuck in the chest of the Turkic nobleman.

The Han nobleman's eyes widened, and the person fell to the ground, but his face was still full of confusion.

Putting the bow in the hands of a eunuch, Li Chengqian said: "Hurry up and go back to rest after killing!" These people are nobles, but Lone is the prince, and Lone does not accept a duel! Whoever rectifies these useless things, military law is engaged in it! ”

After speaking, he pulled Zhang Yun and walked back.

More than 3,000 soldiers originally wanted to play a good trick on these Turks, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an order, so he could only put away his mind and waved the butcher's knife at the remaining people.

returned to the carriage, asked Zhang Yun to take off the blood-stained armor, and asked Sun Simiao to help him take care of his injuries.

The incident happened suddenly, although Zhang Yun put on armor, but he did not wear arm guards, and a knife from the Turks slashed his arm, and even the bones could be vaguely seen through the wound.

If it is a horizontal cut, the key is that the knife is a vertical cut, a large opening of nearly 20 centimeters, and it is easy to burp if the protection is not in place.

Although Zhang Yun repeatedly shirked it, Li Chengqian still stubbornly worked with Sun Simiao to clean his wounds.

Alcohol cleaned the wound and stitched up, and the ordinary soldiers couldn't stand it, even some generals' figures, and some screams. But Zhang Yun's face was expressionless, he didn't even tremble his muscles, and those who didn't know thought he didn't feel pain.

"At that time, three Turks besieged the slave maid, and two were slaughtered by the slave maid, but the third wanted to prevent it, so he could only block it with his arm. Your Highness, the slave and maid are still so seriously injured, don't think about going into battle again! ”

This is the first time that Zhang Yun has been babbling. Li Chengqian knew that this was probably his way of expressing his pain.

Seeing that he was about to go out with his arm, Li Chengqian frowned and dragged him down: "Just sleep in Lone's car, Lone doesn't mind, if you die on the grassland, Lone will not be able to deal with your father when you go back." ”

"Where Your Highness sleeps, how can a slave or maid be..."

Sun Simiao slapped Zhang Yun's head, so that Zhang Yun didn't dare to say anything.

"You're out of luck, and that knife didn't hurt the main muscles, so you still dare to raise your arm. But if you don't cultivate well, death is a trivial matter, but if you have to cut your limbs because of this, look at how you cry! ”

Because Zhang Yun used his injuries to persuade Li Chengqian and warned him not to go to the battlefield in person, Sun Simiao's feelings for Zhang Yun became good.

Looking at his arm, Zhang Yun could only grit his teeth and sit down in the corner of the carriage.

I don't care how he rests, it's not appropriate to go outside to blow the wind anyway.

After getting Zhang Yun done, the two of them got out of the carriage and went to see the wounded somewhere else.

It's strange that I have to vomit when I look at a corpse during the day, but tonight I don't feel sick anymore.

Although the battle ended quickly, and the 4,000 Turks were completely wiped out in a short time, more than 400 people died on the side of the Tang army.

The convoy, which lacked fuel, could only compress the cargo so that the wagons could be freed to take the dead robes with them.

The Tang Army fights, unless it is extremely necessary, it generally takes the ashes of soldiers with them.

Seeing the corpses stacked in several cars, Li Chengqian's face was very ugly.

Although Yu Tai was unhappy because the prince interrupted his duel, he saw that the prince was unhappy looking at the carriage carrying the corpse, so he could only advise: "Your Highness, I know that you feel uncomfortable, but this is war, how can war always kill people, and you will not die?" As far as the last general is concerned, when we encounter the same number of enemies, our own battle losses are only a little more than 10%, which is a rare big victory! ”

I don't know what the definition of "big victory" and "residual victory" is at this time, anyway, it is estimated that it will not be too good.

simply didn't ask Yu Tai, Li Chengqian returned to the carriage with his hands behind his back.

Sun Simiao also finished dealing with the wounded and returned to his own carriage to rest.

Zhang Yun leaned on the corner of the carriage and slept very hard, and Li Chengqian had no choice but to cover him with the cotton mattress in the carriage.

This knife caused him to lose too much blood, and in Sun Simiao's words, it was a great injury to his vitality.

Covered with the quilt, Li Chengqian hurriedly fell asleep, he had to hurry tomorrow, and he would definitely not be able to sleep in the moving car.

When I woke up the next day, I saw Zhang Yun, who was even paler and sweaty.

It's over, this guy still suffers from the wind chill after all.

shouted that the two eunuchs worked together to put Zhang Yun down, there was no warm room, so there was no way to hold back the sweat, and now he can only wipe his body with alcohol, I hope this physical cooling method can work.

At noon, Zhang Yun woke up.

The forehead was wet, and when I felt it carefully, I realized that it was a cold strip of cloth.

The carriage trembled so much that it made people want to vomit, and there was no strength in the body, and even the eyes could only open a slit.

In a trance, I saw the prince reach out and touch his forehead, and then put a strip of cool cloth stained with snow water on his forehead.

Feeling the cold, Zhang Yun couldn't help but want to cry.

As a remnant of his sentence, he thought he had become the saddest dust. However, His Majesty has uprooted him to the end of the matter, and now His Highness is doing the same to him. He only hated why he only had one life, and he couldn't repay these two at the same time.

Seeing Zhang Yun's mouth move, Li Chengqian could only take a spoon and feed some water into his mouth.

The main fear of the marching team is a surprise attack, which will not only delay the trip.

But fortunately, Li Jing was still very considerate, and when he was close to Mayi, another thousand cavalry came to greet him, led by Changsun Chong and Chai Zhewei.

Li Jing naturally knew the thoughts of the eldest grandson Wuji and Chai Shao, so he appointed the eldest grandson Chong and Chai Zhewei as his captains and took them to the forefront actively. And Cheng Chuhei was brought to Li Ji's command by Lao Cheng, and there was no shortage of battles there.

Seeing the golden knives of the trophies transported on the carriage, the eldest grandson said hatefully: "This is a group of fleeing Turkic nobles, if you don't want to kill the main force, how can you let them escape." I just never thought they would disturb you, Cheng Qian..."

Knowing that Changsun Chong was afraid that someone would blame them, Li Chengqian shook his head: "Lone doesn't know where these people came from, what were you talking about just now?" I didn't hear clearly. ”

The eldest grandson Chong smiled and hugged Li Chengqian, and then led the team into the camp of Mayi.

Although this is the main force of the Tang Army, it is impossible to see the appearance of the main force. There were a lot of soldiers around, and they were all wrapped in Turkic leather armor, animal skins and other things, which were nondescript.

At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the appearance of the army, the weather is so cold, as long as you can get what you can wear, you can't let it go.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Chengqian met Li Jing.

Although he held the same position as commander-in-chief, one hand was still wrapped in gauze. Seeing Li Chengqian's strange look, he smiled: "It's hard to rush for quick success!" The old man wanted to eat all at once, but he was almost bitten by the prey. You have to remember that as a general, you can't be impetuous! ”

Moving a chair to sit opposite Li Jing, Li Chengqian said: "You also taught your disciples before that you must be bold when things come to the end, the more erratic you are, the sooner you must make a decision, why are you denying it now?" You don't have to blame yourself, although Jieli has gathered troops in Xiangcheng, we may not be able to kill him. ”

Li Jing nodded, as a qualified commander, he didn't need too much comfort. Li Chengqian's sentence is just icing on the cake.

"Seeing that the New Year is coming soon, when the Central Plains celebrates the New Year, we are waiting for the grassland. That's why the old man called you over. Although spending the New Year on the grassland will not lead to mutiny, but you, the prince, are also there, which will make the soldiers feel better. Like Shuofang and Fengfu, the only thing the old man can hand over to you is the wounded barracks. In the affairs of the army, you should not meddle. ”

Li Chengqian nodded, and besides, he was not ready to interfere. The most taboo in the army is to order out of the second door.

After receiving the appointment of the wounded barracks, Li Chengqian walked out of the marshal tent and began to take over the wounded barracks in Mayi.

Compared with Fengfu and Shuofang, the wounded barracks in Mayi are much more miserable. Not to mention the lack of manpower, there is not enough fuel around. This is already the hinterland of the Turks, and those damned herders always cut the grass and store it in the autumn. And when the Tang army arrived, they were able to drive the cattle and sheep, but they could not take away the pasture, so they could only burn it.

In the absence of fuel, it is no wonder that the wounded soldiers can feel better. The fuel supply of the entire military camp is now limited, and even the meals have become cooked every two days.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are the most able to endure hardships, and many of them chew undercooked beef and mutton, eat raw grain, and at most complain a word or two.

The grass is gone, the grass roots are still there, but the small number of grass roots is even more chilling than the grass, how much heat can it provide? Anyway, Li Chengqian will no longer recall the fuel under the stove, it turned out to be horse manure.

He called a large group of people to go out of the camp with him, and under the command of Li Chengqian, the soldiers would dig a pit in the ground not far away, at most more than one meter deep, and then backfill it.

The so-called Mayi is the later Shuozhou of Shanxi, and it is remembered that Shanxi is rich in coal, so Li Chengqian only prayed that some coal mines should not be too far from the ground.

Heaven favored Li Chengqian, or rather Datang, and the act of digging the pit lasted only two days before digging a coal mine close to the ground.

The quality of the coal is not very good, and the number of calories is estimated to be very low, but when this horse manure is regarded as a treasure, it is gold, and it is not useful.

Li Jing didn't know what Li Chengqian was doing, but when a large piece of coal was placed in front of him, he immediately sent 3,000 soldiers to dig coal.

Now that Ma Yi and Xiangcheng have entered a period of confrontation, they will not easily go to war. If problems such as heating are not solved, perhaps the Tang army will collapse first before the Turks reveal their flaws. After all, the environment of the steppe is not something that the Tang people can endure.

The camp of the Tang Army, which had coal, immediately regained its vitality. The wounded soldiers no longer had to hide in their tents and wail, and the cold soldiers no longer had to put their hands in their crotches and walk around the camp to keep warm. The cook of the house no longer had to wait for the horse's buttocks, just waited to deliver a hot meal to the soldiers.

The changes in the camp of the Tang army could not be hidden from the Turks. The coals near the surface burn with a lot of exhaust gas, and columns of smoke can be seen in the distance. Jieli, who had expected the climate of the grassland to allow the Tang army to retreat, learned the news and slashed to death the messenger who reported the news.

It is very strange that Li Jing still delayed the decision to fight, even if the generals who had recovered their health pleaded one after another, they did not agree.

In this way, the Tang people of Mayi ushered in the New Year that they wanted to spend on the grassland for the first time.

Unlike the military camp in the cold wind, Chang'an is very lively today, and the people don't know that the army of the Tang Dynasty is freezing on the grassland, and now they are seizing the time to prepare for the New Year. The disaster of the second year of Zhenguan did not happen again in the third year of Zhenguan. Moreover, I haven't heard of any disasters this year, and this year can be called a year of great prosperity in the world.

The palace is also very lively, the palace maids and eunuchs are all putting up lights, Li Tai and Li Ke stubbornly went to Li Anren's house, and decided to guard the old gentleman for the New Year, the imperial brother is not there, although the two of them are not official disciples, but they also have to help the brother fulfill his filial piety.

But in this joyful environment, the eldest grandson of the queen was full of sorrow, holding the letters sent from Shuofang, Fengfu and other places, and cried into tears.

The most worrying thing still happened, this bastard boy actually went to the front line, isn't it good to stay in Shuofang? Even if you stay in Fengfu, it's okay! Why did you go to Mayi stupidly?

Seeing the queen burst into tears, Li Shimin sighed with his hands behind his back: "It's not okay if you don't endure hardship, if Chai Shao is not bragging, then Cheng Qian really wants to go to Mayi, I am also from the army, how do I not know what kind of place the wounded barracks is." This time, an army of more than 100,000 troops was dispatched to attack the Eastern Turks, and I was ready to die tens of thousands of people and be blamed by the world. But if this is true, the damage of the hundreds of thousands of troops may be reduced by more than half. This is the big victory.

Cheng Qian wrote a letter begging me to count the treatment of the wounded barracks in the military merits. Originally, it was not in accordance with the rules, but I still got it. ”
