Chapter 274: Preparing for a Battle of Dingxiang City
Through the prompts of the system, Luo Yan also verified that the killing of 100,000 Turkic elites required by this system task did not require him to do it himself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but any war that he planned or led with his own hands, as long as it was effective killing, could be counted in his account. In this way, it is in line with his current force and identity.
Li Jing's original intention of bringing him here was actually to let Li Shimin put an eyeliner on the bright side. To put it bluntly, Luo Yan and his gang of brothers are actually vases. This time, Li Jing also felt that there would be no danger and let them out.
Fortunately, Luo Yan has always been "lucky", and this was originally a foolproof greeting, but he really welcomed a bunch of enemies for him.
With their little strength, they were able to wipe out the pursuers, and it was indeed a combination of various coincidences, plus the lives of the soldiers, which could be completed. Thinking of this, Luo Yan smiled with satisfaction.
After a short time, the subordinates of both sides reported the battle damage. After the battle on Luo Yan's side, more than 20 people were killed, 70 people were seriously injured, and no matter how lightly injured. On the Tuli side, because of the interception mission on three sides, the losses were relatively large, with more than 700 dead and more than 300 seriously injured.
When he reported the battle damage, Tuli was beside Luo Yan, and when he heard the loss on Luo Yan's side, his eyes almost popped out in surprise. After listening to his own side again, Tuli couldn't help but sigh: "Earlier, General Luo said that you should be in charge, and I still don't believe in your strength. I didn't expect you to control the situation of the battle with only a thousand people, and the losses were so small. I have also heard of General Luo's courage in the battle, and I don't want a Chinese scholar in Datang to have such a ability. If there were a few more people like General Luo, I'm afraid my Turks would have died a long time ago. β
In the face of Tuli's praise, Luo Yan did not dare to take credit: "The Khan praised it falsely." My generation has pursued the general and the prime minister all his life, and Luo Yan is just seeking on this road now. I am a Tang Dynasty general with a lot of talents, and others don't say it, General Chi Jingde, who is familiar to Khan, and General Zhang Gongjin, these people are much more powerful than me. What I am doing today is just relying on the soldiers behind me to be fearless of life and death. β
"General Luo is too humble. The elite use of life is also based on the strength of the generals. There is a saying in my prairie that how can a proud wolf pack be led by sheep, and it is General Luo and his soldiers. After admiring Luo Yan, Tuli smiled happily again: "This battle is really happy." We lost no more than a thousand, and then we annihilated all the more than 10,000 people who pursued us. In my life, I have never fought such a happy battle. β
was praised by Tuli like this, Luo Yan also laughed: "This battle is really happy." I never thought that my Luo Yan would be able to fight so refreshed for the first time in a formal war. However, it would be better if there were fewer soldiers who were damaged. In addition to being happy, Luo Yan was also a little greedy, all the soldiers under him were the elite of the elite, and this time more than 20 people died. Later, the seriously injured soldiers will have to go and see for themselves, and it would be best if the system could help pull them back from the ghost gate.
"What?" Once again, Tuli had a hellish expression. "General Luo is actually leading the army for the first time."
After Luo Yan nodded and confirmed, Tuli sighed: "Although these pursuers are not the most elite soldiers like Jieli's personal guards, they are also one of the dozen or so elite teams of my Turkic extremely powerful troops. I don't want to be planted in the hands of a fledgling person like General Luo. The destiny is in the Tang Dynasty, how long can my Turks struggle? β
In the bleak cold wind, the figure of Tu Li looked thinner and thinner.
By the time Luo Yan returned to Shuo County with Tuli, it was already six days later.
When the army reached a distance of dozens of miles from the camp, scouts saw their own flags and came to confirm their identity. Seeing that Luo Yan and the others came back safe and sound, the scout captain immediately sent his subordinates to return to Li Jing.
Some time ago, the court had already given opinions on the resettlement of Turki, in order to win over the Turkic nobles as much as possible, Li Shimin still retained the name of Khan of Turki, and was also ready to settle him and his people near Yunzhou today.
With the current relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Tuli can be regarded as half a prince no matter how he says, and it is still necessary for Li Jing to come out to greet him. By the time Luo Yan led Tuli to the gate of the camp, Li Jing had already led a kind of general to wait at the gate of the camp.
Turning over and dismounting, walking over quickly, Luo Yan arched his hand, bowed to Li Jing, and said loudly: "The last general, Luo Yan, fortunately, did not disgrace his life, and welcomed the Tuli Khan back to my Datang territory safely." Now I have come to give orders to the marshal. β
"Well done. The battle you fought at the mouth of the Great Wall in Yunzhou Zhichong Mansion has been announced, and more than 10,000 of the 8,000 have been wiped out, which has greatly increased the prestige of my Tang Dynasty. I have already sent a fast horse to send the Tang newspaper to the capital, and I think that it will be rewarded in the near future. I am the Sixth Route Army, you are the first to make meritorious contributions, and you are so generous, you really live up to Your Majesty's trust. Li Jing didn't expect that he would have such a big surprise for himself and Li Shimin when he called a person to spy on him, and looked at Luo Yan with satisfaction at this moment, with a terrifying expression on his face.
"The handsome man praised it falsely. Since Luo Yan invited himself to come, he was ready for the bloody battle of the horse leather shroud. This victory was thanks to the close cooperation of the Tuli Khan and the lives of his soldiers, and Luo Yan did not dare to take credit. β
Seeing that Luo Yan did not have the arrogance he had in Chang'an at all, Li Jing became even more curious about this young man. patted Luo Yan on the shoulder and said, "Yes, I am not proud of my achievements." It's a pity, you are a minister valued by His Majesty. If you have been in the army, your achievements in the future will certainly be no less than ours. β
Li Jing has always been strict with the juniors in the army. For a young man like Luo Yan, Li Jing has only praised one so far, and that is his current protΓ©gΓ© Su Dingfang. I don't want to be under this camp, among the generals, there will be such a high opinion of a military general like Luo Yan, who is a monk halfway.
For a while, all the generals standing behind Li Jing secretly had a heart, and they must have a good relationship with Luo Yan in the future. This guy Yunwen Yunwu will definitely be a character who will be in the future and will be in the picture.
Stopping Luo Yan's momentum to continue to be modest, Li Jing said: "Okay, stand behind me, and respectfully invite the Tuli Khan to enter the camp." β
Li Jing and Tuli also have a few faces, and after meeting each other, Tuli walked into the big tent that had already prepared a banquet under the leadership of Li Jing. Although there was not much dancing and music in the army, a group of big men took out the cold liquor for the first time, ignoring the previous prohibition of alcohol, and this reception banquet was quite prosperous.
Tuli came to invest and did not change Li Jing's plan in any way. Seeing that it was the New Year, Li Jing still didn't mention anything about the army's attack. He was still a little worried about the postponement plan before, but now he chats with Tuli about the Turkic customs and customs every day, and even the preferences of various tribes are regarded as a topic of conversation between the two of them.
This state lasted until the Chinese New Year.
Li Shimin did not blame the army for its delay in sending troops, on the contrary, before the Chinese New Year, Li Shimin specially sent people to send a large amount of wine and livestock. On the day of the New Year, the barracks had plenty of wine and meat, but the soldiers drank happily. Alcohol consumption is usually limited, and spirits are given priority to sentry and scouts, where they are as open as they are today.
Luo Yan and a large group of generals fought for wine, and after he overturned five pot-bellied men who were said to be wine vats, he also lay down gloriously.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when he rubbed his temples and stepped into Li Jing's big tent, the news announced by Li Jing immediately made him break out in a cold sweat, and the sequelae of this hangover was cured at once.
"Early tomorrow morning, the army will march out and raid Xiangcheng."
Regarding Li Jing's sudden decision, Luo Yan just wanted to say one word about me, Cao. Li Jing is really bold, what time is this, the third day of the Lunar New Year. If you do this, aren't you afraid of morale problems?
"Marshal, it's the New Year's Festival, and the army is attacking rashly, I'm afraid that the morale of the soldiers will be frustrated." No, someone immediately raised the question in Luo Yan's heart. What is Li Jing taking such a risky taker?
"It is precisely because of the New Year's Festival, according to the habits of previous years, the sergeants in my Datang territory will definitely rest and recuperate in the next few days. The Turks know about our habits, so they are of good use to me. Under the surprise attack, they had no time to prepare, and they would definitely be able to easily occupy Xiangcheng. At that time, we will have a base from which to continue our attacks to the north. β
After listening to Li Jing's explanation, everyone understood.
"Dashuai's move is really wonderful, with the inherent thinking of the Turks about my Datang, I will attack it unexpectedly. Taking Xiangcheng without much effort in this way can not only boost morale, but also give His Majesty the best New Year's gift. β
"Not only that, Xiangcheng is the gateway to the Turks, as long as this place is occupied, future supplies can be continuously sent into the Turkic territory through here. In this way, our army will have no worries about carrying out large-scale attacks deep into the Turkic hinterland. β
In the admiration of many generals, Li Jing nodded and began to deploy the next battle plan. Through the prompts of the system, Luo Yan also verified that the killing of 100,000 Turkic elites required by this system task did not require him to do it himself. But any war that he planned or led with his own hands, as long as it was effective killing, could be counted in his account. In this way, it is in line with his current force and identity.
