Chapter 43: The Moon Black Goose Soars High
On April 12th, the weather was fine, the weather was getting warmer in April, the Turks attacked for a day, dozens of people died and retreated, it was really a continuous attack for many days without any signs of being able to attack, the tribes did not want their tribesmen to send their tribesmen to death were coping with things, the grassland spring was late, the day of the official planting of barley in mid-April, the Turks would be very sad if they did not withdraw now this winter, and they might starve to death, Jieli Khan decided to withdraw the army when he saw that he had no heart to fight,,, let people secretly pack their luggage, and withdraw after dark, When the Turks heard about the withdrawal, they sang and laughed for a while, as if they had won a battle,
At the end of the Geng period, the sky began to darken, the lower reaches of Weishui, a large number of Tang troops were crossing the river, Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong mobilized thousands of ships from Luoyang to directly build wooden planks on it, tied up with iron chains, and built 8 pontoon bridges in half an hour, 100,000 Tang soldiers quickly passed on the opposite side of the river under the leadership of their respective commanders, Cheng Biting Jin, Hou Junji, Zhang Gongjin, Liu Hongji, Chai Shao each led 10,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard, Li Jing personally led 50,000 Lingnan soldiers and horses to postpone After all, Li Jing as a famous marshal It is easy to see that although the Lingnan soldiers and horses are well-trained, But after all, there is no elite of the twelve guards, so the rear army is kept, Xi Junmai, Feng Daizhi, Feng Daiwu, Wei Chi Baolin and others are all in Li Jing, 100,000 troops are 10 miles away from the Turks ashore to line up, and when they set off, the sky is already blurred, and they quietly cover up the Turkic camp.
Behind a small hill in the 5 miles of the Turkic camp ,,,, Qin Qiong and other horses who had been repaired for a day had all been ready to get on their horses, and only 30,000 of the 75,000 qualified ones could charge into battle, Li Ji put 30,000 horses in front of the charge, and selected 10,000 people to be behind, and the other 35,000 people were led by Li Xiaogong and him to chase and kill in the periphery, and surround and encircle,
Li Ji looked up at the sky and said to Qin Qiong, "It's almost time"
"Let's go," Qin Qiong waved his hand and set off with 10,000 horses, Feng Daiwen took Feng Daihuo and Xue Rengui also set off with 20,000 people, Duan Zhixuan took 10,000 cavalry behind, trotting towards the Turkic camp, 5 miles for the cavalry did not take a lot of effort to arrive, the horse trotted 5 kilometers just warmed up, seeing that the Turkic camp was in front, the Turkic camp was still smoking, it should have just been cooked,
"Kill" Qin Qiong took the lead and waved his army straight up,
"Kill," Xue Rengui rushed out with 5,000 soldiers forming another arrow,
"Killing" Feng Daihuo didn't get a fight a few times before, and he rushed over with 5,000 people excitedly.
"Kill" Feng Daiwen took Chen Xiong to kill the past towards a gap, originally Feng Daiwen wanted Chen Xiong to lead people alone, but Chen Xiong disagreed, saying that he was a personal guard and couldn't leave.
Kill, kill for a while, a burst of shouting, all the Tang army was shouting in their mouths when they charged, because the Turkic soldiers covered an area and the Weihe Plain was wide, in addition to the Chinese army camp was still like a look in other places, there was not much defense, at most it was a little fence, rejecting horses, 40,000 cavalry charged, it can be said that the hooves were like thunder, and they were already frightened when they had not rushed over, and they hurriedly ran to find their war horses, because Jieli ordered to pack their luggage, so many war horses were bundled with luggage, tents, The clever one pulled out his waist knife and cut the rope that was tied up, threw the baggage off the horse's back, and rode on the war horse, and the stupid one was still there to untie the rope vigorously.
Qin Qiong's martial arts are strong and likes to rush into battle, but he doesn't pay much attention to defending himself, and has left bloodshed in history, and directly led the cavalry directly to the gate and rushed straight to the Chinese army.
Xue Rengui rushed forward with a halberd to pick up the horse and rushed in, the cavalry followed closely behind, Feng Daihuo picked up the horse and smashed it towards the Turks, as if he wanted to use all the strength that he had not used during this time, and picked up a few horses in a row and smashed them before following the cavalry who went in first, a coiled dragon stick grabbed the tail of the stick with one hand and waved it left and right, and the Turks encountered were people flying, horses fell, and there was no living mouth under his hands,
Feng Daiwen is holding a two-handed arc chopping knife in his right hand, holding an embroidered spring knife in his left hand, splitting left and right, usually cutting the enemy's weapon, his arms and heads fly everywhere, and behind him is the 300 iron guards formed by Lingnan veterans, all of them are armed with double crossbows, rushing into the camp is a random shot, Feng Daiwen just hacked a few and was shot away, Feng Daiwen had to helplessly smile and roar "kill" Chen Xiong carried a giant shield and rode a horse to protect the side, and the back iron guard hung the crossbow on the horse after shooting the crossbow arrows, and pulled out the horse chopping knife and followed the yelling to kill,,,,,
On the other side of the Turkic battalion
"Killing" Wei Chi Gong had already endured the fire and rushed towards the 30,000 Turks who were camped on the opposite side.
"Killing" Wei Chi Gong just engaged in battle with the Turks, Duan Zhixuan was keenly aware that Yu Chi Gong was not easy to fight, and took 10,000 finished cavalry to rush over from the Turkic side to answer Wei Chi Gong.
After all, the Turks have not slept yet, and they have all packed their luggage, but although the Turks do not have many organizations, they are still very fierce to attack the Tang army, Jieli is still very capable, and soon sent a well-trained Chinese army to support in several directions, approaching the Turks There are still 200,000 people, 10,000 people, boundless, not to mention 200,000 people distributed on the plain, you must know that there are not necessarily 200,000 people in a small county town, although Qin Qiong, Feng Daiwen and the others led people to rush in, but they soon fought with the Turks, but many of the Turks were unorganized, and their bravery was no match for Xue Rengui and a few humanoid monsters, so there were not many casualties, but if it continued like this, it would be difficult to say,
Kill, kill, kill, a louder shout of killing came, it turned out that Li Jing took advantage of the sound of the big battle here to cover the Turks not far away, commanding the whole army to attack, 100,000 people running The footsteps should be heard from a long distance, Cheng Yanjin and others were divided into several groups to take the lead in rushing in, and when they encountered resistance, Li Jing let the 50,000 troops who pressed the formation press up from the side,
"The overall situation has been decided, release the arrows to the saint," Li Jing said to the guards as he watched the battle below on a small hill; Soon, there were guards who fired nine arrows into the sky, which was a signal agreed with Li Shimin, indicating that the overall situation had been decided, and the 60,000 people behind could be pressed up to clean up the mess and unfold the encirclement, so as not to endanger the countryside by the Turkic chaotic escape.
"Report to the saint, there are nine arrows ahead" A Xuanjia soldier reported loudly to Li Shimin,
"Haha, the overall situation has been decided, Jiang Guogong's other troops will be under your command, and the Xuanjia Army will come with me" Li Shimin is worthy of being the emperor immediately, and his blood has long been boiling when there is a battle, how can he endure this fight against the water dogs, and immediately ordered loudly;
"Ruo" Qu Tutong just raised his head Li Shimin had already ridden away on horseback, so he had to smile bitterly and began to command the army with his two sons,,,,,
