Chapter 136: Siege of Red Rock Cliff

Three years ago, the defeat of Niangziguan made Jieli taste all the hardships, directly weakened his absolute control over the Turkic tribes, the careerists led by Tuli made small moves, all kinds of coercion and temptation to win over allies to try to compete with him, the great khan, Jieli listened to Zhao Deyan's strategy to take out the most joyful, and not too big Sky tribe to kill chickens and monkeys, the whole clan was slaughtered clean, the effect was remarkable, not only deterred all the disobedient forces in one fell swoop, but also further buried the hidden danger of Turkic disintegration...

In the past three years, Jieli has stabilized his internal affairs, fought hard, and resisted the border harassment of his neighbors Tiele and Xue Yantuo. I heard that after the reform of the Tang Dynasty, he got an official position of "first prime minister", which made Li Shimin's government affairs much easier. Jieli also made a "first national teacher" according to the cat and the tiger, and Zhao Deyan became the second person in the Turks.

The Qi tribe was wiped out, and Tuli and others were also a lot more honest, until one time they accidentally invited Zhao Deyan to drink, and Zhao Deyan seemed to have some complaints about Jieli during the conversation. Tuli's mind came alive again, and the two of them had a great taste of sympathy between them. Not to mention, let's have a Taoyuan tie-up first, and Zhao Deyan vaguely came up with some "clever plans" for Tuli, such as: lying on the salary and tasting gall, yang and yin, and combining vertical and horizontal. coaxed Tuli to trust Zhao Deyan more and more.

On the night of the swearing, Zhao Deyan quietly came to Jieli's tent and told Jieli the news that he had successfully penetrated the enemy. Jieli was even more happy to smile. Zhao Deyan, who returned to his camp with a rich gift from Jieli, couldn't help laughing and muttered to himself: "Wenxiang's Infernal Affairs is really perfect." ”

In May of the first year of Zhenguan, Jieli rectified an army of 100,000 and slaughtered Datong City! Li Shimin led 3,000 new Xuanjia troops and 10,000 Vermilion Bird Guards equipped with new weapons to Datong City. The red stone cliff outside Datong City is the necessary place for the Turkic army, and it is also the best ambush place. After Li Shimin inspected the scene, he immediately decided to stop the Turks here!

There is a road twenty zhang wide in the red stone cliff, and although the cliffs on both sides are high, they are not steep. There is no problem at all with climbing with bare hands, and there is no obvious shelter, so it is impossible to ambush soldiers and horses on the mountain, unless the ambush is arranged on the top of the mountain, but the distance from the top of the mountain is too far to pose a threat, which is why Jieli dares to walk the Red Rock Cliff. But for the Xuanjia Army that can fly into the sky, this is not a problem! The 3,000 Xuanjia troops were distributed on both sides of the cliff, mainly responsible for catching the Turkic soldiers who climbed up.

5,000 Suzaku troops were ambushed on each side of the cliff, and when all the Turkic troops entered, they used mortars to smash the cliff wall and besiege all the Turkic troops in the Red Stone Cliff! The plan is simple, but the army of 100,000 can be said to stretch for more than ten miles, and if you want to enclose them all, you need a space of twenty miles, that is, the distance between the front and back of the Red Rock Cliff (the width of the front and back of the Red Rock Cliff is 25 miles). If it was before, who would have dared to come up with this idea, Li Shimin would have to spray him to death with a mouthful of salt soda, but now it is different. With the participation of the Xuanjia Army, everything is not a problem!

After Zhao Deyan learned of the plan, he added: he would leave Tuli and the others at the end of the team, and put their tribal soldiers in front, and blow up the cliff before Tuli and them entered the mountain, so as to directly weaken the forces in their hands and leave their dogs dead. When the time comes, you will be able to completely take Tuli for your own use!

Li Shimin also agreed neatly and ordered to fully cooperate with Zhao Deyan.

The cage has been set up, just waiting for the little white rabbit to get in. Li Shimin wore the Dragon Soul Battle Armor that had been upgraded several times, and hid behind a boulder with the broken army in his hand, quietly listening to Xiao Ming's report: "The Turkic vanguard has entered the valley. ", "The Chinese army has entered the valley", "There is a commotion in the rear army, and 007 has led Tuli and others to the rear of the army as planned. "The rear army has entered the valley, and 007 and Tuli are heading towards the valley."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he ordered: "Xiao Ming, pass on my order and release the flowers!" ”

Just when Tuli and the others were still 200 steps away from the valley, he was still thinking about why Zhao Guoshi had to ask them to accompany him. And it's half an hour to pull, aren't his feet numb? At this moment, only a burst of cannon fire was heard, and the stone walls on both sides of the valley were instantly torn apart, and the rolling boulders blocked the valley tightly in a moment!

Tu Li's face changed greatly, and he was about to ask what had happened, when he heard a shout all around, and a hundred steel beasts that had appeared in the battle of Niangzi Pass instantly surrounded them. I heard the general with half of his helmet on the top of the first beast shouting: "I am Li Jing, the commander of the Tang Guannei Dao, Tuli Xiao'er quickly dismount and surrender!" ”

Tuli and the others were terrified, at the beginning, a dozen steel beasts beat them to the ground, and now they are surrounded by a hundred beasts, how can they have a chance to live! When he heard that Li Jing asked him to dismount and surrender, Tuli didn't even think about it, threw the saber, turned over and dismounted, raised his hands and shouted: "The criminal minister Tuli is willing to surrender!" Surrendered cleanly, Zhao Deyan's generous statement prepared overnight yesterday was useless, and he was so angry that he scolded Tuli for being shameless.

All kinds of dirty words soon resonated with many bloody Turkic men, and they all drew their swords and said that they would fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Deyan saw this posture and rolled his eyes, and shouted after making a look at Li Jing: "I swear not to surrender!" If it's a brother, charge with me! After speaking, he pulled out his knife and stabbed the horse's buttocks, and rushed towards Li Jing with a roar, and the bloody men also slapped their horses and followed!

After Li Jing received Zhao Deyan's eyes, he immediately made a gesture not to attack, and said righteously: "Li admires the man who would rather die than give in, and a few of you must not be an important role after walking in the army, so let's go." It is enough for the commander to have a sudden exchange. ”

When Zhao Deyan heard him say this, he quickly passed through the gap in the chariot with a rein, and shouted: "Li Jing, don't think that this is the case that the national teacher will accept your love, I will come back!" After speaking, he took a dozen Turkic patriarchs who came up and ran towards the steppe without looking back.

Li Jing no longer paid attention to Zhao Deyan and the others, waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, tie up these captives and present them to Your Majesty." ”

Tuli's regret, if he was a little tougher, maybe he would be let go by Li Jing, now it's okay, he will die before he gets out of the school!

Tuli was arrested, and Jieli was no better. The 100,000-strong army was trapped in the Red Rock Cliff and could not advance or retreat, and there was not even anyone to consult. At this time, Li Shimin stood on the cliff and shouted: "Jieli Xiaoer, you have been surrounded, why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly!" ”

Jieli looked at the not steep cliffs on both sides and laughed, "Do you think you can trap us with this little hillside?" Wish for the moon! Chuan Ben Khan's military order, everyone go up the mountain! Meet outside the valley. ”

When the panicked soldiers heard the order, they dismounted and climbed up the mountain. Li Shimin looked at it with a smile and shouted at Jieli: "Okay, come on, we will prepare a sumptuous meal for you on the top of the mountain, first come, first served!" ”

After saying that, he flew up to a raised rock, and lay comfortably on the chaise long-along, and ate the fruit leisurely. It's halfway up the cliff, so you can see the situation below, but you can't shoot with a bow and arrow, and it's also a very steep place on the cliff, so you can't climb it at all.

Jieli roared angrily: "What about the national teacher? Hurry up and find the national teacher! ”

The soldiers led the order to go, and Li Shimin said leisurely: "Don't bother, Khan, your national teacher is very lucky and not trapped here." But now it should fall into the hands of Commander Lee. You'd better figure it out for yourself. ”

Coincidentally, Li Jing flew to Li Shimin's side under the protection of the Xuanjia Army and reported loudly: "The last general captured 26 Turkic patriarchs such as Tuli, but accidentally let the national teacher Zhao Deyan escape." Please punish Your Majesty! ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and smiled: "It doesn't matter, the lost dog can't set off the wind and waves, and it runs away." Go and pull the Turi ones out and slip them on. ”

Li Jing received the order and asked the Xuanjia army to fly around the head of the Turkic army and show their trophies in all directions. The Turkic soldiers below had just recovered from the panic of being trapped, and when they saw 30 flying people carrying their family patriarchs to display in the sky, they were so frightened that they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and kowtowed. Ask the gods to spare their lives!

Jieli was also frightened, but as a khan, he couldn't kneel down and beg for mercy like a soldier. Pretending to be bold and yelling: "These are all tricks to deceive! You stupid fools hurry up and fight back! Shoot them! ”

It's good that he didn't say it, but as soon as he said this, there were more soldiers lying on the ground. From ancient times to the present, have they ever heard of people who can fly? Who else could fly freely in the sky if it wasn't the gods? Between the human khans and the gods, more and more soldiers chose to kneel and pray to the gods for forgiveness. Li Shimin couldn't help but be happy when he saw the situation, he didn't expect the Turkic soldiers to surrender so easily. When he was thinking about whether to fly up to show off a wave, a sharp arrow suddenly shot towards Tuli.

The Xuanjia soldier who was carrying the sudden sharp was not slow to react, his body sank down, and he reached out with his right hand and easily grabbed the arrow that came over. Looking along the trajectory of the arrow, I found that it was Jieli who shot the arrow. Li Shimin smiled, it's time to perform real technology!

Li Shimin put down his armor and rushed towards Jieli with a dive in his hand. Jieli was shocked, abandoned the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out the big knife and went up, Li Shimin smashed down, Jieli's mount knelt on the ground with a scream and couldn't stand up again. Jieli also rolled on the ground twice in embarrassment before unloading Li Shimin's huge force.

Li Shimin flew into the air again, and Pojun pointed at Jieli and shouted: "Jieli! Do you have the ability to fight me for 300 rounds? What kind of hero is it to sneak a cold arrow! ”
