Since the Turkic siege of Lingzhou City, the Tang army led by Zhu Dagui has never confronted the Turkic soldiers and horses.

Even, he never went out of the city to fight the Turks.

What they want is to hold the city of Lingzhou and consume the Turkic soldiers and horses.

Now, as soon as Li Jing arrived, he was going to attack the enemy camp at night, which was very undesirable in Zhu Dagui's opinion.

"Is the marshal serious?"

Li Jing nodded: "Ben Shuai has already received the news that the Turkic follow-up soldiers and horses will arrive at Lingzhou City in two days, so we must take advantage of the arrival of the Turkic reinforcements to severely damage the first batch of Turkic soldiers and horses, and besides, our Tang army has never gone out of the city to fight with them, and they must be negligent in their night defense. ”

Before Li Jing came, he had already grasped the news of the Turks, which was very necessary and very important in Li Jing's view.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.

After Li Jing finished speaking, he no longer explained to Zhu Dagui, but just ordered: "Give me a hundred soldiers and horses who are familiar with the Turks." ”

Zhu Dagui hesitated for a moment, and could only immediately order.

After 100 soldiers and horses who were familiar with the Turks were gathered, Li Jing no longer hesitated, and led 10,000 soldiers and horses straight to the Turkic camp.

The Tang army attacked at night and went on a rampage.

It has been more than a month since the Turkic soldiers and horses attacked Lingzhou, and in this more than a month, the Tang army has never gone out of the city to fight them, let alone attack the camp.

Therefore, the defense of the Turkic soldiers and horses at night was very lax.

After the Tang army rushed in, the entire Turkic military camp was suddenly in chaos, so that many Turkic soldiers were powerless to resist under the attack of the Tang army.

In other words, they were killed by the Tang army before they had time to resist at all.

The Tang army rushed left and right in the barracks, and the Turks had no formation to speak of, and they had little ability to resist at all, and the screams and shouts resounded throughout the barracks.

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

The Tang army that followed Li Jing had been trained by Li Jing on the way to the camp, and now they attacked the camp as soon as they came, and they were so successful, these Tang soldiers were very excited in their hearts, and one was more cold than the other.

Blood sprayed, and one by one the Turkic soldiers fell.

The spring breeze was blowing in the night, and the smell of blood was a little pungent.

The Turkic general who led the army was called Merk, and when he rushed out of the tent, the entire Turkic camp was in disarray.

"Don't mess around, what's going on?"

"General, the Tang army attacked the camp."

"Damn, the Tang army is only a few thousand people, what are you afraid of?"

"General, the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty are here, there are more than 10,000 people, and it seems that if they don't kill us, they won't give up."

Hearing that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty were coming, Merck's whole body trembled, the 10,000 Tang Army is by no means a small force, and now in such a chaotic situation, if they want to resist, I am afraid they will suffer heavy losses.

can only find a way to distance himself from the Tang army, and then expand the formation, and then fight with the Tang army.

After thinking about it, Merck immediately ordered: "Retreat, retreat." ”

At the sound of an order, the Turkic soldiers and horses immediately retreated with grain and grass and retreated to Lingzhou City ten miles away.

The order was conveyed in the barracks, and those Turkic soldiers and horses had already been killed by the Tang army, and when they heard the retreat, their hearts were suddenly shocked, and they hurriedly rushed to break through.

It's just that when they broke through, they gave the Tang army more and more opportunities.

"Kill ......"

Li Jing shouted angrily, and then rushed to kill again, the Tang army was like a killing god, and the Turkic soldiers and horses killed were not fighting, nor were they fleeing.

On Merck's side, he led the soldiers and horses to flee, but as soon as they escaped from the barracks, they came up with another Tang army, which probably had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the momentum was unprecedented.

"Kill ......"

The Tang army leading the troops shouted, and 10,000 Tang troops immediately rushed to kill, blocking the Turkic way.

"Go to Xiying!"

Merck took the soldiers and horses to the western camp, leaving thousands of soldiers and horses behind.

But when they went to Xiying, Xiying immediately ushered in another 10,000 Tang troops.

"Kill ......"

When the two armies met, the Tang army didn't say a word, and rushed directly to kill.

The Turkic soldiers and horses were already panicked, and when they encountered such a Tang army at this time, where was the ability to fight?

"Go to Beiying!"

Merck led the troops to the North Camp, but on the North Camp side, there were still Tang troops waiting for them.

Around the entire Turkic camp, there were Tang troops, and the 10,000 elite Tang troops led by Li Jing were even more rampant inside, and the Turks wailed.

The blood sprayed was unheard of.

Merck saw that they were surrounded by the Tang army, and his heart was terrified to the extreme, he never thought that the Tang army would suddenly attack the camp at night, and he didn't even know how the Tang army would come so early.

His spies came to report that it would take at least a day for the Tang reinforcements to come, and when the troops were withdrawn today, there was no movement of the Tang army.

He may have been deliberately confused by the Tang Army.

The feeling of unease grew stronger, and Merck knew that this was an existential moment and that a choice had to be made.

"Gather all the soldiers and horses, and follow me to break through from the northern camp, with only a little dry food."

The grain and grass must not be taken care of, and it would be good to be able to survive now.

At the sound of an order, the Turkic soldiers and horses swarmed to the northern camp to kill, and they still had 20,000 soldiers and horses at this time.

With 20,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, the momentum is still okay, and the Tang generals who are guarding the northern camp see the Turks killing, they don't make any ambiguity, and shout: "Kill!" ”

The Tang army came, and the Tang army behind also began to shrink the encirclement at this time, attacking the Turkic soldiers and horses from behind.

World War I, dawn.

Merck finally broke through with his soldiers and horses, but at this time, he only had 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and he brought 50,000 soldiers and horses, and he was already about to capture Lingzhou City.

But the result was a complete defeat last night.

When the spring sun shone down, the corpses of the Turkic military camp were all over the field, and the smell of blood was permeated.

Li Jing won a great victory overnight and rushed to Lingzhou City with his soldiers and horses, and at the same time, someone had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

Zhu Dagui's side has already learned the result of last night's battle, and this result is absolutely unattainable in a head-to-head confrontation, the physique of the Turkic soldiers and horses is much better than that of their Datang people, and their Datang also has some advantages in weapons and combat methods.

But if you really charge head-on, the casualties on both sides are definitely about the same.

But last night, Li Jing was unexpected, and he wiped out only 10,000 Turkic soldiers and horses at once, and the Tang army did not suffer many losses.

In an instant, Zhu Dagui admired Li Jing very much.

"Marshal, last night, the last general was offended, and I ask the marshal to forgive me." Seeing Li Jing's ability, Zhu Dagui naturally didn't dare to trust him anymore.
