Chapter 356: The Great War Twenty
Li Ji was located on the top of the hill, holding a telescope, and he had long known the battle situation over there, although he knew that the combat effectiveness of such a behemoth as a war elephant was not weak, but he did not expect that the deterrent power was stronger, and he frightened the Turks as soon as he appeared.
Under the mobilization of Li Ji, the cavalry kept interspersing and assaulting, and no one stopped, and stopping meant death.
A cavalry, killing through the enemy group, will bypass again, wait for the speed of the war horse to rise, and wait for the comrades behind to line up the formation, and then attack from another place.
In addition to the heavily armored cavalry, 100,000 troops kept rushing back and forth, seemingly surrounded by Turks, but often two or three teams attacked one Turk, and the rest of the Turks were either blocked by their own people, or followed behind to eat ashes.
As for the heavy cavalry, there are many people there, so they rush there, 10,000 iron cans make the Turks helpless, everywhere they go, people turn on their horses, sharp steel knives cut horses, like a cutting machine under the running of war horses, cut off everything in front of them, and when the speed of the war horses slows down, they swing their knives and slash wildly.
Kill through the enemy formation, tidy up a little, and fight again, just like death descending, making the Turks tremble.
For those who can be defeated, they will not be afraid, but like heavy armored cavalry, there are no helpless monsters, after rushing twice, when they see it, the Turks have already subconsciously avoided it.
Cavalry duels, swords and swords, fast and swift, unlike infantry, there is attack and defense.
After the Turks fought, they experienced from heaven to hell in a short period of time, and they were unable to exert their strength, watching the Tang cavalry continue to rush and kill, and they were either on the way to catch up or on the way to be besieged.
The disappearance of the people at the city gate was gradually discovered by more people, and they were already restless, and the death of the Beida official and the crossbow became the trigger for the Turks to run down.
Liu Shili was originally a personal guard general under Wang Shichong, and was able to serve as a personal guard general in Wang Shichong's army of more than 100,000 people.
After the loss of the crossbow, Cui Tao was forced to be in front, and he rushed towards Liu Shili without hesitation with the army, and asked the Beida official to go to support the Chinese army.
Cui Tao rushed to the front, he knew that he was going to die today, and when he saw Liu Shili at the front wearing armor, he wanted to die a decent death, and he didn't want to die at the hands of a small soldier.
"Ahh Cui Tao's eyes widened, he roared angrily, and stabbed straight with his sword!
Although Liu Shili wondered why there would be a person dressed as a Chinese centalist, he had no good impression of this kind of person who had forgotten his ancestors, and with a wave of the horse lance in his hand, a bloody light rose to the sky, and then the head fell to the ground.
Liu Shili didn't even look at it, he leaned over the horse lance, and stared coldly at the crossbow behind him.
The two horses intersected, Liu Shi immediately stabbed out like lightning, the crossbow lost the knife raised in the air, waved it weakly, looked down at the horse lance that pierced into the chest, struggled twice, and suddenly closed his eyes.
The crossbow lost Bibu did not expect that a leader would die, and his guards pounced on him with the intention of revenge, and some of the clansmen were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do, but just following the war horse in a daze.
Liu Shili naturally also had his own personal guards, and when he finished killing the crossbow, he had already stepped over to take over the Turkic cavalry.
He wielded a big axe and chopped down several heavy cavalry, and was knocked off by a war horse, fell to the ground, and then was trampled to death by a chaotic horse.
The Turks were soon swept apart and fought on their own.
The two sides fought for more than an hour, and the Turks finally lost their courage and began to flee.
Li Ji immediately waved his flag and commanded, trying his best to let go of the individual Turks, scatter those who had gathered together, and let more people join the fleeing.
"Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! ”
Li Ji saw that there were a lot of escapes, and the Turks were defeated, so he ordered to surrender, after all, the Turks' combat strength was not weak, if they were in a hurry, they would fight to the death, and they would increase a lot of casualties.
And Li Daozong and Qin Qiong also returned to help at this time, killing many defeated troops along the way.
With the surrender of the Tang Dynasty, some tribal leaders surrendered loudly with their subordinates, and after the Tang soldiers stopped to surround them, they dropped their weapons and jumped off their horses in despair.
The battle only lasted more than an hour, but the battle was quite tragic, 100,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty, more than 30,000 died, more than 10,000 were seriously injured, and everyone was wounded except for the heavy cavalry.
The Turks were even more miserable, with more than 200,000 cavalrymen and 100,000 logistical people's families, most of them died, and there were many minor injuries, and as for serious injuries, they were all counted among the dead.
Let the Turks carry it back and bandage, whether they can survive or not depends on the will of God, the herdsmen died and fled, and the rest were captured.
Fortunately, a lot of cattle, sheep and horses were seized, which made up for the losses, which made Li Ji, Li Daozong and others breathe a sigh of relief, not only losses, so that even if they defeated the Turks, they would have no shame.
"How to deal with it next, I don't know how to arrange it for the general manager? (Deputy General Manager, Li Jing is not automatically ignoring the front deputy) "All the generals gathered in Yizhou that night to discuss the next action.
"The Western Turks are attacking on a large scale, and the interior is also extremely empty, but they can rest assured that they can go eastward, obviously there are changes in the Western Regions, there are many countries in the Western Regions, many of them are related to the Turks, it is not clear how it is, only to send additional people to investigate.
The battle situation in the Hetao area is unknown, but there is a big manager, and it is not far away to win! Now a certain intention is to go to the Turkic tribes with one part, and the other to the Hetao to block the Turkic retreat, what do you think? Li Ji opened the map and analyzed it on the map.
"The chief manager is wise, and we have no objections." With Li Ji's introduction, everyone nodded in agreement, exchanged opinions with each other, and then bowed their hands in unison.
"The king of the county continues to guard Yizhou, as for the prisoners, it depends on how the imperial court arranges, the Duke of Yiguo, the Duke of Yuguo, the two of them repaired for two days, led 10,000 cavalry to sweep away the Turkic tribes as much as possible, and decided for themselves when to return.
The rest of you and I will go to the Hetao to destroy the Turks as soon as possible, so that we will not fight in winter. Li Ji thought for a moment and arranged.
"The last general obeys!" Although Li Ji did not give an order in a commanding tone, everyone still obeyed the rules of the army and stood up and hugged their fists to receive the order.
"Xue Rengui of Shazhou has a task on his side, let him select people and horses to continue to go to the Western Regions, and act at the opportunity, as for the elephant soldiers, they are too cumbersome, so they will stay in Yizhou." Li Ji did everything in detail and made careful arrangements.
Li Daozong as the head of the march of Longyou Dao, these will naturally be handed over to him to implement, the victory of Longyou Dao made him relaxed, as for the later war, most of them have nothing to do with him, the rest is how to settle the place, and stabilize the recovery of the states and counties, it is foreseeable that Yizhou is about to become the interior of the Tang Dynasty, and the border passes will be pushed out for thousands of miles.
