Chapter 1265: The light is facing the sun, and the horse's hooves are sick
1265. The light of the first day is towards the sun, and the sound of horses' hooves is sick
The Tang army camp, with the Chinese army's tent rushing out one after another heralds, the entire camp is also changing rapidly, like wave after wave of torrents, first the sound of horses' hooves, and then a war drum, more than 30,000 Tang Chinese troops quickly assembled.
In the Chinese military tent, Li Jing also looked solemn, pulled out the sword on his waist, wiped it with his hand, and picked up his gray beard, "Everyone in the world says that I Li Jing is good at scheming, but I don't know that I am also in the army."
"The marshal uses soldiers like a god, this way of arranging troops, Tuyuhun Yidi, is no match for my Central Plains art of war."
Li Jing said, and someone immediately echoed it below, and Li Jing glanced at it, without any fluctuations.
"Heh, just a barbarian fighting a war knows that they are all reckless, how do they know what to arrange troops." The head of the march of Yanze Road and the assassin of Lizhou, Gao Yingsheng, snorted and said, he was originally a rebellious person, and he was not convinced by many heroes in the Central Plains, let alone this barbarian.
"Okay, beat the drums and gather troops and prepare for battle", Li Jing raised his eyebrows and reprimanded softly. Li Jing is cautious by nature, and he is the most low-key, and he is faintly unhappy with people like Gao Yongsheng and Hou Junji.
On the grassland in the early morning, the morning wind is blowing, hunting with flags, there seems to be a trace of evil air wafting in the wind, up and down the mountain, the birds are frightened and dare not pass, and the murderous aura is condensed.
Li Jing sat on the horse, his back straightened, and the corners of his mouth rose up with a sneer, the Tuyuhun people were looking for death, obviously occupying the favorable terrain on the mountain, and they could defend the danger, but they had to fight on this prairie, it seemed that this could reflect their strength.
However, Li Jing also knows that although the Tuyuhun people are deeply sinicized and even live in the city, they are still the Xianbei people who are inherited after all, and they are good at field warfare and not good at defending.
As far as the natural danger of Kushan is concerned, Li Jing only needs 5,000 infantry troops to defend it, but the Tuyuhun soldiers are all fighting on horses, you let them dismount and guard, not to mention whether they know how to deploy defenses, how to arrange rolling stones and sasswoods, they may not even be able to hold the knife steadily, after all, the soldiers on the horse get off the horse, then it is a little unstable.
Li Jing made a gesture to the heralds beside him, and the heralds could understand, climbed a wooden platform, and waved the different colors of the order flags in their hands.
20,000 infantry troops placed in the middle army, lined up into several strange formations, the front row is the sword and shield soldiers, guarding the rear, this kind of sword and shield soldiers squatting on the ground, with the gun as a support, the horizontal knife as a weapon, one by one can resist the charge of the cavalry, followed by thousands of bows and crossbowmen, the arrows flashed with scorching light, and the left and right sides are the elite foot soldiers holding spears and hanging horizontal knives on their waists.
On the two wings of the Chinese army and in the rear, there are 10,000 elite cavalry waiting for the battle, with a light towards the sun, swords and guns, so not majestic, every move is to show the elite demeanor.
On horseback, Li Jing's face was calm, like such a scene, if it was a bystander, he might be excited inexplicably, but Li Dashuai fought in the south and the north, and he came out as the first commander of the Tang Dynasty.
As the sun rose, on the unsheltered grassland, the rising sun was a little strong, Li Jing's face was already a little ruddy and sweaty, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he didn't have to look back at the Tang Army formation, and his heart was already a little depressed.
As the saying goes, the morale of the Tang Army is like a rainbow, and if it is delayed like this, the scorching sun is shining, and I am afraid that the morale will be depressed.
It seems that the Heavenly Pillar King on this reservoir mountain is not an idle person, at least not as reckless as imagined.
However, Li Jing is Li Jing after all, how could he frown because of this little trouble, and immediately attached his ears to the heralds beside him, and several heralds scattered in all directions.
Not long after, there was a slight commotion in the Tang army array, the war horses snorted, the soldiers wiped their sweat intentionally or unintentionally, and even a slight dust was raised on the ground.
At the top of Kushan Mountain, the black-pressed Tuyuhun soldiers and horses were ready, and a gray-haired Xianbei man was immediately the first, his face was cold, a gorgeous scimitar at his waist, and a beaded felt hat on his head.
Squinting at the movement of the Tang army under the mountain, the corners of King Tianzhu's mouth twitched, and he laughed and said: "The Han people have a word to say, and now this king will dry them in the sun, so there should be no morale now."
"The king is brave and wise, comparable to the Great Khan of Tanshi Huai in the past." Someone was patting the horses around.
Sure enough, the Tianzhu King was very happy when he heard this, what kind of person is Tanshi Huai, that is the Great Khan who led the Xianbei people to the peak, isn't this the pursuit of his Tianzhu King.
"It's a pity that my Tuyuhun warriors are not good at guarding it, and they have wasted this dangerous place in vain", the Tianzhu King is also capable, knowing that this Kushan Heavenly Danger was wasted by them, but soon the corners of his mouth were pulled, and he said unruly: "But when it comes to field battles, our warriors of the Xianbei tribe never lose."
After saying that, he waved his hand heavily, and the generals behind him understood his intentions, and scolded his own soldiers and horses, and the Tuyuhun cavalry wandering in Kushan moved one after another, and immediately formed a row and row of frontal formations on the hillside, condescending, quite powerful.
Seeing such a large army, the Tianzhu King also laughed, "No matter how capable you Li Jing is, what can you do if you wipe out the reinforcements around me, this king's warriors will definitely be able to tear open the gap, retreat to the shore of Xihai Lake, and then fight with you in the vast grassland, sooner or later you will flee back to the Central Plains in embarrassment."
Yes, there is no way to retreat for the tens of thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses in Kushan, because the surrounding Niuxindui and Chishuiyuan's garrisons have been wiped out, and the Tang army has formed a situation of encirclement and flanking attack on Kushan, either holding on to help, or fighting to the death.
It is impossible to hold on to the reinforcements, not to mention whether the Tang army, which is not good at guarding, can not hold it, just talking about the reinforcements, the king of Tianzhu knows very well what Fu Yun Khan's attitude is towards him, I am afraid that he will die, how can he be rescued.
Besides, with the recklessness of the Tianzhu King, it is impossible to hold on to help, but only fight, because he believes in his muscles, as long as he breaks through the formation of the Tang Army, abolishes the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, and enters the flat grasslands around the West Sea that they are familiar with, that is their world.
The horn sounded, the King of Tianzhu took a deep breath, pulled out his scimitar, and shouted to the sky: "Tuyuhun warriors, kill all the Tang dogs, the Buddha Lord and the wolf god are bless you, kill." With that, he swung down his scimitar heavily.
Tuyuhun soldiers and horses raised the ice blades in their hands, against the scorching sun, under the illumination of the sun, like the killing god descending into the world, the tiger descending from the mountain, rushing down from the slope of Kushan Mountain, the sound of horses' hooves is fast, and the sword light is scorching.
Li Jing also raised the corners of his mouth, couldn't help it, then let the world see, whether I, Li Jing, can only conspire......
With the wave of the flag, the sword and shield soldiers in front of them can squat, the crossbowmen in the back row are exposed, the arrows are aimed at the sky, and the whole earth is trembling slightly under the impact of the horses' hooves, but the hands of the crossbowmen are still as steady as ever, and no one releases the bowstring in advance.
