Chapter 76: Defeat of the Turks
Qi Luo Geli was still thinking about how to allocate troops to pursue the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect that a wave of cold arrows fell again, and the Turkic rear people turned on their backs again, and even Qi Luo Geli was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, rolled under the horse, and the guards hurriedly surrounded him and raised a wooden shield to prevent the sharp arrows from hitting him again.
"Ahh Zirogli roared, "Everyone, back and slaughter those flies for me!" ”
"Withdraw!
The large Turkic army that was besieging the city received the order to retreat and evacuated the city gate in an orderly manner, and Chirogli was helped to bandage, his shoulders hurt so much that his muscles flared up, and he gritted his teeth: "Everyone, give me to chase their cavalry!" If you can't catch it, don't come back. ”
Chen Liwan, who was upstairs in Anyang City, was relieved to see that the Turks had retreated, just now he listened to Li Yaoji's suggestion and sent people to harass the Turks, which was really risky, if it was not handled well, they would be wiped out, and the difficulty of defending the city would increase a lot. Li Yaowei is easier than him, if this guerrilla tactic fails, then he will be a sinner who has lost his position, and it is estimated that Li Yuan will let Chen Liwan cut him directly.
"Take advantage of the victory to pursue, Chen Guang, you take the remaining cavalry and interfere with them, remember not to be overtaken!" Chen Liwan decided to take advantage of the vast terrain outside Anyang to give full play to this kind of guerrilla warfare and eliminate the Turks to the greatest extent, "Inform the troops guarding the city gate to open the city gate, and if the cavalry retreats, close it immediately to prevent the Turks from rushing in." ”
Li Yaowei laughed in his heart, Chen Liwan is not a loser to defend the city, and he is sure to be powerful in war command.
The Turkic troop configuration is mainly cavalry, and there are few siege equipment, so it is good at field warfare and is not conducive to siege the city, if it was before, Chen Liwan would never dare to accept Li Yaoji's proposal, and also gave the order to pursue, because the Turkic cavalry is much better than the Tang army's, and the Tang army will definitely lose in this kind of cavalry encounter in the field. However, today, the Turks changed their tactics, bringing a large number of siege equipment such as rushing vehicles and ladder vehicles, and the relative proportion of cavalry dropped significantly, and at this time, the momentum of the Tang army was vigorous, and the Turks were weak because the marshal was injured and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the fighting spirit was not at the same level, so Chen Liwan would order to pursue and harass the Turks.
Those Turkic cavalry who pursued the Tang soldiers could not catch up at all, but would be killed by cold arrows from other directions from time to time! In the end, after chasing for a long time, no one caught up, but he was tired and tired, and was killed by Tang Bing. On the battlefield, there was no mercy, and the Tang Dynasty, which was plagued by the Turkic invasion, hated the Turks to the core, so Xiao Muzhan pursued more ruthlessly this time, he sent some cavalry to attack the troops transporting the wounded soldiers to the Turks, and many of the Turks who were already injured and half-dead were directly killed by the cold arrows of the Tang cavalry on the car, and the troops escorting the wounded soldiers were also killed and wounded. In the end, all the Turkic army was harassed by the cavalry of the Tang army, and the number of soldiers gradually decreased over time.
Seeing these situations, Qi Luogli's heart was dripping blood, regretting that he had changed his tactics today, and the injury on his shoulder hurt even more, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and order, "Abandon the wounded soldiers and withdraw!" ”
The wounded Turks were finally ruthlessly abandoned in the wilderness, waiting for the Tang army to come and send them back to the west......
In this war, because of the guerrilla warfare proposed by Li Yaojie and the change of Turkic tactics, the Turkic army was defeated, and the army of 50,000 people, in the end, less than 20,000 people fled, and in just one day, more than 30,000 people were lost. And the soldiers in Anyang were killed and wounded less than 2,000 people! It can be described as a hearty victory!
The soldiers and civilians of Anyang are cheering and celebrating this victory, for so many years, the Tang Dynasty city has been harassed by the Turkic invasion, and it will be besieged for many hours every time, which is like this time, only half a day, the Turks will be beaten to the ground. The flag of the Tang Army erected on the city fluttered in the wind, bright and dazzling. Li Yaojian and Fifth Yao's hanging hearts also completely landed, and Li Yaojie gave a thumbs up to Fifth Yao: "The lady is very skilled." ”
Fortunately, there is a fifth Yao, otherwise he would have died many times today.
The corners of Fifth Yao's mouth curled: "Your tactics are more powerful." ”
Chen Liwan bowed his hand to Li Yaowei and said: "Li Gongzi's tactics are unparalleled, and the official admires it, thanks to Li Gongzi's clever plan, Anyang is safe." ”
Li Yaowei shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, these tactics have existed since ancient times, and Governor Chen also understands them, but Governor Chen didn't expect them in a hurry, and the key to winning the Turks is the bravery of the soldiers under the Governor." ”
Li Yaoyu slapped a sycophant, and he was still counting on this guy to brush him up in front of Li Yuan when he reported the military situation.
After the end of the battle, Li Yaoyu and Fifth Yao changed their clothes when Wen Yuqi and the others returned to the inn, and they dried in the sun for a long time, they were all sweating and their clothes were soaked, and Fifth Yao killed a lot of Turks who rushed to the city wall, and there were many blood stains on their clothes.
Xiao Xuan, who was worried at the inn, saw Xianggong and her sister coming back, cried with joy, and threw herself into the arms of the two, Li Yaojie comforted her: "What are you crying about? Didn't we come back safely? ”
Fifth Yao wiped away her tears, "Help us prepare some hot water." ”
After washing his body and changing his clothes, Chen Liwan sent someone to invite Li Yaoyu Fifth Yao to the state government to drink, saying that it was a celebration banquet, just as Li Yaoyu wanted to feel the atmosphere of victory, Li Yaoyu went with Fifth Yao and Xiaoxuan.
"Li Gongzi is really a hero among people, haha!" Chen Liwan saw Li Yaowei coming with his wife and concubine, and said heartily.
"Xiao Muzhan has seen Li Gongzi."
"Chen Guang has seen Li Gongzi."
Li Yaowei hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, you are all Tang Dynasty officers, and I don't dare to be a big gift." ”
"It's okay, people like us who are in the army have always admired the warriors and ministers, and Li Gongzi's strategy today really makes us admire."
Li Yaowei was a little embarrassed: "I'm just mentioning it, it's you who have done a good job, especially General Xiao, who is simply superb." "He said it simply, Xiao Muzhan was able to do so well, harassing the Turkic siege troops, sneaking into the Turkic rear, luring the snake out of the hole, and shooting and injuring the marshal, it was simply amazing!
Chen Liwan waved his hand: "Haha, you're welcome, come, cheers for today's victory!" ”
"Cheers!" Li Yaowei and Fifth Yao raised their wine glasses and took a sip with these dozen generals.
More than a dozen people chatted while drinking, but fortunately they drank green ant wine, and the degree was not high, otherwise with Li Yaoji's amount of wine, he couldn't stand it after drinking two bowls.
"His grandmother's, it's really cool, Lao Tzu has never won such a cool battle for so many years!"
"That's right, it's so exciting! In the past, it was the Turks who chased us and fought, but now we chase and kick behind their ass! ”
"After this battle, we can almost be promoted to the rank of merit!"
"It's possible to be knighted!"
"The next time I encounter the Turks, Lao Tzu will slaughter them!"
Alcohol pierced the intestines, excitement went up, these people began to be full of pride and ambition, Li Yaowei was infected by this atmosphere, and talked nonsense with them! "That's right, to drive the Turks out of the world, destroy the Turks, and occupy their territory." Li Yaoyu shouted with a smile, but this is the truth, a few decades later, during the reign of Tang Gaozong, the Tang Dynasty completely destroyed the Eastern and Western Turks.
Fifth Yao and Xiaoxuan saw Li Yaowei like this for the first time, and they thought it was very novel, fun, and cute.
"It's a pity that Li Gongzi didn't come to join the army!"
Li Yaowei shook his head, what he likes is more to write poems and fu, as for fighting, his little heart can't stand it, he thinks of the scene during the day now, he will have goosebumps, his heart is uncomfortable, and he is estimated to have a nightmare for a long time.
