Qin Tian's crisis was finally resolved.

And after defeating the Turkic soldiers and horses of Hiro, they did not rush to continue their advance, but set up camp and prepared to rest before making plans.

The most important thing is to keep pace with the soldiers and horses on Li Jing's side.

And just when they met with the Turks on their side, Li Jing and Qin Shubao and their 100,000 Tang troops had also driven directly into the grassland.

The Tang army marched mightily on the steppe and approached the Turkic royal city.

And on the way of the Tang army to the Turkic royal city, in the Turkic Orr steppe, the Turkic army of 100,000 was waiting under the leadership of Harry.

Early that morning, a spy came in a hurry.

"General, the Tang army is only fifty miles away from us, and in two days, they will be able to arrive."

Harry is a middle-aged man in his forties, he is the leader of the Turkic Orr tribe, with more than 20,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, and is the most powerful tribe in the western Turkic region.

At this time, in his army of 100,000 people, there were six or seven other Turkic tribes.

When the news came, the other tribal leaders suddenly became excited.

"Okay, we finally waited for the Tang Army, we have to fight with the Tang Army, and we want them to know how powerful our Turks are."

"That's right, that's right, is there a lot of 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Tang Army, one of our Turkic soldiers can beat two or three of them, and they enter the steppe like this, which is simply sending them to death."

"Hahaha, kill them, we will pounce directly into Datang, we want their treasures, and we want their women......"

At this time, these Turkic tribal leaders did not know the strength of the Tang army, and they felt that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were still as weak as before, and they were not their Turkic opponents.

They also dreamed of killing all these Tang soldiers and horses, and then plundering the Tang Dynasty.

However, while the other tribal leaders were excited, Harry was relatively cautious.

"Don't get too carried away, the marshal who led the Tang Army is Li Jing, he is still very good at using soldiers, we have to be careful."

Harry reminded the group, but they didn't take it seriously.

"General Harry, don't worry, we'll let the Tang Army be careful."

"Hahaha, yes, yes, it should be that they should be careful, we have so many soldiers and horses, and there are 40,000 cavalry together, 40,000 cavalry, and they can't kill these Tang troops?"

They know that Datang only has 20,000 cavalry, which is a lot, but compared with them, it is far behind.

As the crowd said this, a chuckle appeared on the corner of Harry's mouth: "Okay, let the soldiers rest for the past two days, and soon, we will fight with the Tang Army." ”

They discussed the strategy of the battle before finally retreating.

And when these things were discovered on the Orr grassland, Li Jing and Qin Shubao were hurrying quickly with 100,000 soldiers and horses.

"Marshal, in two days, we will meet with the main forces of the Turks, how to fight this battle?" While on the way, Qin Shubao asked Li Jing with some curiosity.

Qin Shubao is a fierce general, with resourcefulness, but it is only a little stronger than Cheng Biting Jin, to say that he can be a marshal alone, it is almost, at least not as strong as Li Jing, so in the battle to destroy the Turks, Li Jing is the marshal, and Qin Shubao is his deputy.

However, in terms of rank, Qin Shubao is now higher than Li Jing, although Li Jing has military exploits, but his military exploits at this time are not particularly high, and it is not enough for him to be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom or something.

But this did not affect Li Jing to become the marshal of the Tang Dynasty.

Asked by Qin Shubao, Li Jing thought for a moment and said: "In terms of the number of soldiers and horses, we are evenly matched with the Turks, the Turks' advantage is more than ours with cavalry, our advantage is in the Tang Dao and Mo Dao teams, if we really want to fight a decisive battle, our Tang Army is sixty percent sure that it can win, but hard fighting is not my style." ”

Speaking of this, Li Jing paused for a moment, and then continued: "I am going to set up a seven-killing formation at that time, lure the Turkic cavalry into the battle, destroy the Turkic cavalry first, and kill the remaining soldiers and horses, it will be much easier." ”

Since the Turkic advantage is enough in cavalry, then they must first find a way to weaken the Turkic cavalry, as long as the Turkic cavalry is weakened, the next battle will naturally be much easier.

Li Jing told Qin Shubao about the situation of the Seven Killing Array and his own ideas, and after listening to it, Qin Shubao felt that it was okay.

"Since the marshal has already thought about it, let's do what the marshal says."

In terms of formations, naturally no one can compare to Li Jing.

Of course, only an army of 100,000 like Li Jing and Qin Shubao can fiddle with the formation, and tens of thousands of people like Qin Tian and them, the formation is generally not of much use.

Before the Song Dynasty, every big battle in China involved hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands, or even more, so today's formations are all some big formations, and only after the Ming and Qing dynasties will there be some relatively small number of formations, such as Qi Jiguang's Mandarin Duck Formation, which is the kind that dozens of people can form a formation.

Now, Li Jing can set up the formation, but Qin Tian and them can't do it, of course, it's not that they can't do it, the main thing is that they are too few in number, and they can't exert the power of the formation if they do.

After saying this, they made some preparations, and it was not long before they came to the Orr steppe.

However, when they came to the Orr grassland, ten miles away from Harry's army of 100,000, the Don army stopped.

They traveled a long way, and before the big battle, they must have to rest, it is not good to be too close, and only after a night's rest, they can go to battle with the Turks the next day.

And the news quickly reached Harry.

"General, the Tang army has come, only ten miles away from us, should we kill them and catch them off guard?"

It was afternoon when the Tang army set up camp, and if the Turkic soldiers and horses really wanted to kill them, they could still do it, but Harry shook his head after thinking about it: "Don't worry, if we rush over, let the Tang army wait for work, their Tang army is taking the initiative to attack this time, obviously more anxious than us, we are waiting for them here." ”

In Harry's opinion, killing them at this time will not bring them much advantage, but it is better to wait for the Tang army to work.

The distance of ten miles does not take much time, and it does not consume much physical strength of the Tang army, but war, the slightest difference, may cause different results, and the distance of ten miles may be the key to determining victory or defeat.

In this way, the Turks naturally hoped that they would be the side that decided the victory, and if they saved some physical strength, they could hold out longer, and it would be easier to defeat the Tang army at that time.

After Harry finished speaking, the other Turkic tribal leaders had no objections.
