Chapter 174: I'm Not Anything Great

"What the hell is going on? You make it clear to me. Ashina viciously dragged the cavalryman off his horse and threw him to the ground. His eyes turned red, like a wild dog that had just eaten a dead man.

"All of us entered the camp under the leadership of Vidal, but the Don army did not wait for us in the camp, he first shot arrows condescendingly, then turned and fled, and Vidal chased us after him. Who knew that the Tang army had built dozens of stumbling walls made of ice behind the mountain, and then when our cavalry was all forced to stop, they launched an attack from both sides, and Vidal bravely rushed in the first row, crashing into the ice wall and dying at the beginning. We also launched a counterattack, but the Tang people were like they couldn't be killed, and we slashed our swords and arrows and didn't hurt them in the slightest, and everyone was afraid, so they broke up. The cavalryman trembled and told the matter in Ashina's eyes that he was about to eat people.

Ashina felt like he was smashed on his head with a sledgehammer, five thousand cavalry are now half of the soldiers and horses in Dingxiang City, and now the whole army will be wiped out in only one hour, even five thousand sheep can't kill so quickly. He hated himself for believing that idiot Vidal so easily, now that it was all over, Dingxiang City would definitely panic after knowing the battlefield situation. He seemed to see Kang Sumi's triumphant villain's face, as if to say: I said that the Tang army had an ambush.

The guards at the head of Dingxiang City had already discovered that there were routs coming and urgently closed the city gates. The 4,000 people who were in reserve had not yet been gathered in place, Ashina had no choice, he integrated the cavalry who fled back at the edge of the city, and found that there were only more than 200 people, Ashina was heartbroken, and when he came out, there were 5,000 people, and there were only more than 200 in just over an hour, and it is estimated that this is the worst battle lost in the history of the Turks.

On the Evil Sun Ridge, the Tang army was divided into two parts, one to monitor the movements of the Turks, and the other to clean up the battlefield. They were in groups of five, and when they saw the Turks wailing, they stabbed them over and sent them to the western heavens. This is not cruelty, it is real humanity, because Tang Jun did not have medicine to treat them, so in order to reduce their suffering, he had to help them.

There are also people collecting arrows on corpses, trees, and snow, some searching for the property of cavalry, and some collecting weapons.

There are also frightened people who surrender on the ground, their job is to carry corpses, carry weapons, as long as the movement slows down, the Tang army on surveillance will use spears and knife backs to teach them how to do things, watching those Turks rolling on the ground and begging for mercy, Li Dongsheng does not believe that this is the Turks who are known for their fierceness and domineering.

Seeing Li Dongsheng coming, all the Tang troops no longer laughed with him, but saluted him seriously and seriously, with standard and solemn movements, which was reverence from the heart, and Li Dongsheng won the recognition of the army in this battle.

Why do you say that, because when he captured the camp, Li Jing took into account the counterattack of the Turks, and the other generals wanted to hold the camp until Wei Chigong arrived, and most of the Tang generals also had this idea, because the terrain under Dingxiang City was a little higher than this Evil Yang Ridge, which was suitable for stationing.

However, Li Dongsheng raised an objection, arguing that we were still cavalry with 3,000 men, and that there were no big trees or dangerous roads in the Evil Yang Ridge, so there was no danger to defend at all. It can be seen from the success of the Tang army as soon as they rushed that it was the next policy to defend the camp. The cavalry is the elite of the army, and what we want is to be mobile and flexible, and holding the camp only turns our advantage into a disadvantage, and it is completely attrition with the lives of soldiers. It will be at least ten days before the reinforcements arrive from Wei Chi Gong, and if the Turks do not want to attack every day, then we will soon be exhausted.

He put forward a saying: if the land is lost, the land is lost; If people lose land, people and land will survive. When Li Jing heard this, he applauded loudly. The rest of the generals saw that the general manager recognized Li Dongsheng so much, and there was no way, but they had to follow his ideas.

Li Dongsheng suggested taking advantage of the weather and the captured Turkic herders to build a stumbling wall made of ice behind the mountain. First melt the snow with fire, and then pile the soil to half a person's height, and then water on it, the weather is cold, dripping into ice, Li Dongsheng also used those herdsmen's axes, kitchen knives, and sticks to freeze on the stumbling horse wall, so built dozens of them, and even Li Jing saw such a vicious stumbling horse wall and said: "Dongsheng, this thing hurts the heavens and the peace, and it can't be used more." ”

Li Dongsheng rolled his eyes: "What kind of peace do you talk about in war, the enemy who dies is the best enemy, if I can let my Tang army win the victory without one death, then I am willing to do everything." ”

After building the stumbling horse wall, Li Dongsheng asked all the cavalry to use soil and grass roots to knead pieces into pieces of popsicles, and also water and freeze them. Then let them sew a layer of needlework on the sheepskin robe, and open the lattice in the middle, and everyone complained, all the old men still had to do needlework. However, when Li Dongsheng put the frozen models into the sewn lattice and asked a soldier to cut them with a knife, everyone found that this thing was even harder than leather armor, the key is that it is not heavy, it is not valuable, and it is broken and then done, put it densely, and it can also prevent bows and arrows. This is also one of the reasons for the collapse of the Turks, no matter how they fight, they can't die, it's too scary.

In the past, everyone thought that Li Dongsheng was just a civilian official, and the chief manager brought him to the army to gild. Although he has also done several jobs, what rugby, horseshoe, and fried noodles are all auxiliary work, that is, what civil officials should do, and everyone regards Li Dongsheng as a capable official. However, today's battle is based on Li Dongsheng's ideas, and everyone has almost zero casualties, killing 5,000 enemies, and the cavalry is against the cavalry, this is incredible, it is completely the flower of a famous general. He was only a teenager and had this achievement, and when he reached his prime, who else would be his opponent?

As mentioned earlier, only the strong are worshiped in the army, if you can lead everyone to win the battle, then you can get everyone's support, and if you can keep winning the battle, then you are the god of the army, very simple logic. Even Su Dingfang said with admiration: "Dongsheng, I was selected by the chief manager to be in Weimo, thinking that I was a famous general seed, and the chief manager is also very optimistic about me, who knows that I am a scum compared to you." ”

Xue Li also said: "Young Master, after seeing your performance, I know what a genius is, and you can do anything?" I felt like I was a dog for decades. ”

Seeing the two famous generals of the Tang Dynasty praising themselves so much, Li Dongsheng was not lost, he said modestly: "Actually, I am not as great as you think, I just use other people's playing time to think." ”
