Chapter 293: The Last Bloody Battle (Part 1)
The grassland is like the sea, and the remnant sun is like blood.
The sky was full of color, and the vast grassland of the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo's more than 200,000 troops confronted each other.
It was very chaotic for people to shout and neigh, but the eyes of the main generals on both sides were attracted by the banner of Li Chengqian played by Su Dingfang.
looked at Li Chengqian's banner one by one, showing an expression of disbelief.
Of course, many generals of the Tang Dynasty were only surprised for a moment, and when they saw the tens of thousands of troops behind Su Dingfang in formation, they guessed that it was Wei Chixue who led the army to break through the enemy's defense line and rescue Li Chengqian.
It's not that they haven't thought about this result, but they were denied when they thought about it, although Wei Chigong is also a strong general of the Tang Dynasty, but the strategy is limited in the case of the enemy's obvious advantage, it is difficult to break through the enemy's blockade in three or four days.
At the beginning, neither Li Shimin, nor Li Shiji, Hou Junji and others pinned their hopes for rescuing Li Chengqian on Wei Chigong.
However, since everyone knew that Li Chengqian was unharmed, the pressure in their hearts suddenly lightened, and thinking of the pressure that Xue Yantuo had brought them these days, they couldn't wait to take revenge on Xue Yantuo immediately.
It's complicated, but it's only a matter of moments.
Li Shiji immediately ordered the whole army to set up a position and cooperate with Su Dingfang on the slope to surround Xue Yantuo's army.
Pei Xingjian ordered people to quickly set up several catapults to help.
Bazhuo and Servant Gu Nashi saw that their side had been completely surrounded by the Tang army, and with Li Chengqian's banner coming out, they no longer had any illusions, and they had no choice but to fight with Daxue.
Desperate situations often bring out the potential of people, especially the nomadic tribes of the steppes who are known for their ferocity.
Ba Zhuo immediately summoned the generals, and slashed three deep blood marks on his cheek in public, and the blood immediately flowed down like a spring, and the blood-covered Ba Zhuo reprimanded Datang with a hoarse wolf-like voice for killing his father and brother who had surrendered.
The death of the Hui people is to scratch their cheeks to show their grief, and the former Xue Yantuo Khan Yinan and his eldest son were killed by Li Chengqian, because there was no mourning in the army, so Bazhuo has not been cut to cry.
At this time, the scorching and slashing of his cheek was to show that he wanted to avenge the death of his father and brother, and to stimulate the bloody nature of the warrior to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty.
When all the soldiers saw Bazhuo like this, they were all excited, and they were screaming to fight with Datang.
The servant bone Nash was very embarrassed to see that Bazhuo was supported by the generals, he was the one who was left by Tumidu to control Bazhuo, what should he do now that Bazhuo is supported by the generals?
He didn't feel embarrassed for long before he heard a "whine-woo" sound from the south, and looked up to see the sound of explosives bags flying into the air.
Immediately after the sound of "booming ......", many soldiers' stumps and broken arms flew up in Xue Yantuo's military array, completely interrupting the speech in front of the battle.
Li Shimin saw that Xue Yantuo's military formation was blown up by gunpowder, and looked at Pei Xingjian with some displeasure and waved the order flag: "I just want to see how much wind and waves this pulling can make, why did you strike first?"
Seeing this, Pei Xingjian hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although Xue Yantuo's army has been surrounded by the Tang Dynasty now, being able to kill a few more with gunpowder will always make the good sons of the Tang Dynasty suffer fewer casualties." ”
Li Shimin's face softened when he heard this, and he nodded in recognition of his statement.
Thundered...... There were gunpowder explosions in Xue Yantuo's military array, and red fires flashed everywhere, very much like blooming flowers and the sunset in the sky, but then the black smoke that rose up did not know how many lives of Xue Yantuo's soldiers were taken.
The soldiers in Xue Yantuo's army ran around to avoid the explosives bag, and for a while, more people were killed by pushing and trampling than were killed by explosives.
Seeing that the army was already in a mess, he didn't want to say more, but just hissed and gave the final order: "You soldiers and I are surrounded by the Tang army today, there is no possibility of retreating, now you can only lead the clan soldiers to break through from different directions with bravery, if anyone can survive Mobei one day, I also hope to protect my Xue Yantuo's women, children, old and children in Mobei." ”
When the little leaders heard this, they thought of their wives and children in Mobei, and their eyes were red, and they raised the weapons in their hands and beat their horses desperately, leading their clan soldiers to rush in different directions.
"Kill—"
"Rush—"
……
……
From the sky, Xue Yantuo's military formation seemed to have exploded entirely, and dozens or hundreds of arrow-like teams suddenly burst out around the military formation, rushing out in all directions.
When the Tang generals in the north and south of Xue Yantuo's army saw Xue Yantuo's tactics, they knew that this was the main general's plan to exchange the lives of the soldiers for a glimmer of life.
Sure enough, when the small tribes were desperately rushing out to kill, the two largest teams of Bazhuo and Servant Bone Nash did not move, and they were waiting for the Tang army to rush out while the formation was in chaos.
Seeing this, Li Shiji and Su Dingfang just snorted coldly and didn't take it to heart, and respectively ordered the generals of the Tang Dynasty in the north and south to lead their troops to meet them and kill the leaders of the various tribes who rushed out one by one.
For a time, from the south to the north, Xi Junmai, Xue Wanche, Zhang Shigui, Li Daliang, Cheng Wuting, Xue Rengui, Li Simo and other Tang generals led the soldiers out of the battle, and countless war horses and soldiers on both sides ran on the ground, and the shaking earth was like a drum for several miles away, and the sound of "dong dong dong ......" could be heard several miles away.
As soon as the two sides of the battle came into contact, they entered a white-hot state, blood soared, people were rolling, and the shouts of soldiers on both sides soared into the sky.
However, the results of the battle also came out quickly, although Xue Yantuo wanted to win with chaos, but in front of Li Shiji and Su Dingfang, the two god-level figures of the Tang Army, he was too pediatric after all.
After the first batch of small leaders who rushed out were intercepted and killed by the Tang Dynasty, the other small leaders of the tribe did not dare to rush out easily.
At this time, Su Dingfang ordered someone to bring out Tumidu, and the tied Tumidu led hundreds of surrendered generals to the battlefield and shouted to persuade him to surrender.
The servant who had remained in the Chinese army and did not move saw that Tumidu had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and immediately led the crowd to surrender without thinking about it.
Hui Hui and Servant Gu are both important tribes in Xue Yantuo, and the two major leaders all surrendered, and the demonstration effect was obvious, and the other small tribes soon followed suit and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
On the battlefield, a large area knelt down with a "hula", only Bazhuo and the leader of the Xi tribe beside him were still standing still, the whole battlefield was very quiet, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty looked at the people standing in the middle of the battlefield, which meant that they knew very well whether they wanted to die or live.
Unlike the Mobei tribes, they were closer to Goguryeo in the northeast, and Bazhuo had always been pro-Goguryeo and anti-Tang, and they were originally going to escape this time and return to Mobei to take Xue Yantuo's women and children to Goguryeo.
With a bloody face, he looked at the soldiers who knelt down in the Mobei tribes on the entire battlefield, and then looked at the Tang soldiers who were full of murderous intent towards him, thinking about the ending of his father and brother who were still killed after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, and his heart was full of grief.
In the end, he bit the people around him: "Ben Khan swears not to surrender to the Tang Dynasty today, if you are willing to surrender, you will stay, if you are unwilling to surrender, you will follow Ben Khan to kill again." "Death is coming, but Bazhuo has to maintain the dignity of his Xue Yantuo Khan.
