Chapter 211: Attack on the Turks

Xie Yunfei and Xu Qiuping returned home, and took care of their infant son with Xie Huilian and Xie, and Xu Guoxing and his wife often went to Xie's house to see their grandson.

Li Yaowei's family raised their two children with heart.

"Xianggong, look at how much Yan'er likes her sister!" Fifth Yao said with a smile.

Xiao Qin sat with Li Jingshu in her arms, while Li Bangyan stood in front of her, looking at her lovely sister.

"This guy is probably a sister control." Li Yaojian smiled.

The days passed slowly, and according to the plan, in the spring of the second year, Li Yaowei's family returned to Chang'an, but he didn't want to run around anymore, and he also wanted Xie Yunfei to spend more time with his parents, so he never had the idea of returning to Chang'an.

It dragged on until October, Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore, and issued an edict ordering Li Yaowei to return to Chang'an immediately.

Mid-November.

"Li Yaoji! You're such a big shelf, you have to make an edict before you come back? Li Shimin slapped the case angrily and glared at Li Yaoji.

"I don't dare."

"Alright." Empress Eldest Sun grabbed him, and said to Li Yaoyu with some hatred, "You, you are always so idle. ”

Li Shimin looked at him angrily, "I have ordered the conquest of the Turks, you stay at home honestly, if you run around again, I can't spare you!" ”

"Winter troops?"

"Yes, the Turks suffered a catastrophe, cattle and sheep froze to death, grain and grass were in short supply, and several years of civil strife, the people were miserable, which is a rare opportunity."

Although Li Yaowei was reluctant to go to war in the winter, the stakes were very high, and he had no complaints.

After waiting at home for more than ten days, Li Yaowei finally waited for Li Shimin's order to attack the Turks with all his might.

Li Jing was the head of the Dingxiang Road march, and Wei Chi Jingde was the deputy general, leading the Chinese army to advance to Yunzhong and Mayi; Li Shichang was the head of the march of the Tongmo Road, and Zhang Gongjin and Gao Yongsheng were the deputy generals, and the main force led by the East Road directly attacked the Eastern Turkic hinterland; Chai Shao, the concubine, was the chief of the Jinhe Road march, and Qin Shubao was the deputy general, advancing along the Yellow River on the West Road, echoing Li Jing and Li Shixian, and was responsible for covering the left flank; Li Daozong was the head of the Datongdao march, and advanced from Lingzhou to the northwest; Wei Xiaojie was the head of the march of Heng'an Road, and Cheng Zhijie was the deputy head of the army, leading the army into the Yanyun area; Xue Wanche was the head of the Changwu Road march, and Duan Zhixuan was the deputy commander, taking advantage of the northeast to attack the Turkic rear and contain the Turki Khan. Li Yaowei was the general manager of the Anbian Road march, and Chen Liwan was the deputy general, leading the Third Artillery Corps and the guerrilla army to advance to the east of Ulzhou, echoing Li Jing and Li Shiyun, and was responsible for covering the right flank.

"In addition, all of you are subject to Li Jing's festival."

"The minister understands!" Everyone spoke in unison.

The Seventh Route Army had nearly 200,000 people, and almost all the generals of the Tang Dynasty poured out of the nest and marched towards the Turks, and a war that destroyed the Eastern Turks and was shameful before the beginning began.

……

Due to the heavy weight of the artillery and the slow movement, Li Yaowei sent 5,000 soldiers to escort him, and then led the remaining cavalry troops to attack at full speed.

At the end of November, it was cold and windy in the north, and Li Yaowei was tightly wrapped in a leather jacket and armor, but it was still a little cold.

"Xianggong, are you okay?"

Fifth Yao asked with concern.

"It's fine."

"Yan Gong, I met the Turkic horse army in front!"

"How many?"

"More than four thousand!"

Li Yaoyu smiled, "Destroy them!" ”

The soldiers quickly whipped up their horses and rushed towards the Turkic army, and Li Yaowei himself was not idle, riding horses to follow, with bows and arrows!

Fifth Yao followed closely, and the sword was unsheathed, protecting Li Yaoji.

The sword light and sword shadow, the blood stains the yellow sand!

In less than half an hour, more than 4,000 Turkic cavalry died, those who fled, and more than 1,000 prisoners were taken to a nearby county town to wait for the imperial court to deal with it.

The first battle went so smoothly, Li Yaowei was very happy, but there was a tough battle next.

"According to the established plan, General Li Jing is going to enter the Evil Yang Ridge, and then surround Dingxiang, Jining City is in the northeast, and we want to pull out this city."

Chen Liwan nodded, "You can be there in three days." ”

"Send a few people to inform you that the artillery unit is speeding up, and I want to flatten the city!"

"New Year in the Army"

The cold wind blows in the cold winter moon, and the cold mangs of the iron armor reflect the snow flying.

Spirits New Year's Thousand Tent Drink, Defeat the Enemy Kou Dai Xun Return

On the march, the whole army simply ate a good meal and spent the New Year.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Li Yaowei received the military information sent by Li Jing, and had already led 3,000 horsemen to enter the Evil Yang Ridge.

Li Yaoyu called Chen Liwan and Gu Nan, "The three artillery troops, go all out to attack the city, and blow them up fiercely." The guerrillas left 5,000 men, and the rest of General Chen, you led the siege of Jining City, preventing them from escaping and intercepting reinforcements. ”

"Boom Boom Boom~"

Dozens of artillery carriages poured ammunition on the city gates without mercy, and inside and outside the city walls, up and down, there were explosions again and again, and mushroom clouds rose.

The soldiers defending Jining City were killed one after another, and the others were panicked, they had never seen such a powerful thing.

"General, what should we do?"

"Breakout!"

Chen Liwan led the guerrilla army to block the other two city gates, and as soon as the Turks showed their heads, a dense rain of arrows came, and the corpses at the city gates were piled up.

"General, we can't rush out!"

"Damn it!"

"How many more do we have?"

"Less than five thousand!"

"General! The gates are broken! ”

Li Yaoyu said to Gu Nan, "Lead half of the artillery carriages to smash another city gate." ”

He's going to trap this group alive.

"Xianggong, they surrendered."

Successfully uprooted Jining City, Li Yaowei was very happy, captured about 4,000 Turkic soldiers, and Li Yaowei then sent someone to send information to Li Jing.

And Li Jing's side, after receiving Li Yaoji's good news, laughed non-stop, and summoned the three thousand horsemen he brought, "Men, let's go and capture this old thief!" ”

Under the cover of night, Li Jing led 3,000 cavalry to Dingxiang City, not far from the northeast of the Evil Yang Ridge.

"Khan!"

Seeing someone coming in in a panic, Jieli Khan frowned, "What's the alarm?" ”

"Li Jing has led people to attack!"

"What?" Jieli Khan stood up in shock and walked out of the tent door, "How many?" ”

"How many ...... Thousand. ”

"Fart!" Jieli Khan scolded angrily, "If the Tang army hadn't been dispatched, how could Li Jing dare to come alone?" ”

"This ......" subordinates are also confused, and the intelligence is like this.

After pondering for a long time, Jieli Khan gritted his teeth, "Withdraw!" ”

"What?"

"I said withdraw!"

"Yes, yes......"

At this moment, another person came over to say, "Jining City has been breached!" ”

Jieli Khan was shocked and angry, "How is it possible? Jining City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are 10,000 soldiers stationed to defend it, how can it be broken? ”

"There is a very terrible thing in the Tang Army, and after the explosion, our people were killed and injured countless times."

Jieli Khan frowned, he had suffered a loss, and he was embarrassed by this thing in the first place.

"Withdraw!"

Jieli Khan never thought that Li Jing was really a lone army, and he had already led his troops to retreat to the moraine at this time.
