"Order! The newspaper office published the three war reports in detail and reported them truthfully. After receiving everyone's congratulations, Li Shimin made an order.

"Obey the order!" Yu Shinan hurriedly took the battle report and immediately asked someone to transcribe it.

"Holy Wisdom! As soon as the war report is published, it will inevitably be exciting, and there is no need to worry about the instability of the people's will. The eldest grandson Wuji agreed.

"Haha! What the auxiliary machine said is very true, as long as the people's hearts are stable, I will not have to worry about it. Li Shimin said happily that what he is most worried about recently is the people's heart.

If there is bad news coming back from the front line and affecting the people's hearts, they are afraid that they will be taken advantage of by those who have good intentions, and if they take the opportunity, it is easy to cause monstrous changes.

…………

"Woo! Woo! Woo! The desolate and low sound of the horn sounded in the already desolate land of Yizhou, adding some solemnity to the early winter.

The cold wind blew the flags rattling, and 200,000 Turks lined up at the foot of the hill according to their tribes, and a procession of 80,000 herdsmen faced the city of Yizhou, including many women, half-grown children with childish faces, and old people with wrinkled faces that could trap mosquitoes.

Although they are all old and weak women and children, but the Tang Dynasty will not underestimate them, the Turks, whether they are women and children, or old and weak, as long as they can still wave their weapons, they dare to kill, especially when this kind of cover for the main decisive battle, they will be even more desperate.

The steppe tribes, whether they were the Xiongnu in the past or the Turks now, when the snow was falling in winter and there was a lack of food and clothing, the more and more old people would automatically take off their coats in order to let others survive, and walk into the vast snow, leaving the hope of survival for future generations, this is their way of survival that is barbaric and helpless, there is no right or wrong.

Datang also battled down another small hill, with an army of 100,000 and 10,000 in Yizhou, for a total of 110,000 elite cavalry.

Li Ji organized all the heavy armor and formed 10,000 heavy cavalry, although these 10,000 people were heavy cavalry, but only 3,000 war horses were armored, the remaining 7,000 war horses were unarmoured, and the knights were all armored.

The remaining 100,000 cavalry, divided into ten squares, led by ten generals, stood quietly at the foot of the mountain, leading the war horses, silently doing the final inspection, only occasionally the war horses neighed, reminding the world that something big was about to happen.

"Kill!" The Turks were the first to attack! Two teams of 10,000 people rushed out from the left and right.

"Kill!" The flag waved, Pang Xiaotai, Li Daliang, and the two also rushed out with a team of 10,000 people.

The first wave of battles is both a test and a competition, how can Li Ji show weakness.

Four teams of men and horses were distributed around the battlefield, quickly approaching.

"Put!"

"Crossbow!"

The two sides shot at the same time, the Turks were firing arrows, and the Tang soldiers were hand crossbows.

This moment reflects the gap, it takes both hands to release the arrow, and the hand crossbow can be single-handed, one crossbow and five arrows, shot continuously.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! "The Turks have never seen a repeater of crossbows fired on a frontal battlefield, and the rain of arrows formed by 50,000 arrows fell on the heads of the Turks in a dull gaze, and it was unavoidable.

In this way, one or two thousand people in front of the 10,000-person team screamed and fell off their horses.

As for the arrows shot by the Turks, as the elite of the Tang Dynasty, the front row is full of assault armor, and there are also cotton clothes and leather armor in the back, you only need to protect your head with your hands, and the arrows are nailed to the body at most slightly injured, and there is a Takahashi saddle to stabilize the body, so a scene that the Turks can't believe appears, 10,000 arrows, no one in Datang has fallen off the horse.

The battle was not paused because of things, and there was only one chance to shoot the arrows on horseback, and the two sides quickly approached.

The Tang soldiers hung up their crossbows, stubbornly clamped the extended spear between their arms, bent down slightly, and held them firmly with both hands.

rushed close to the Turks and almost cried, it was too bullying, and they found out that Datang's weapon was so long, a spear half a foot long, like a tree trunk, and like a horse rejection array, stretched out far away, and the knife in his hand could not cut people.

The war horse charged, and he didn't dare to stop at all, and if he stopped, he would kill the people behind, and he would be killed by the people behind, of course, the Turks also understood this truth, so they had to close their eyes helplessly, wave their weapons indiscriminately, and crash into the Tang army formation head-on.

The elongated spear, under the gallop of the fast horse, often penetrates several people, of course, it can't be pulled out at this time, the Tang soldiers throw away the spear, pull out the horizontal knife, and continue to slash, at this time there is no superfluous thought, only continuous killing and killing, until it penetrates the enemy formation.

Witnessing all this from a distance, the Shebei Daguan and the Crossbow lost their mouths in disbelief, unable to imagine that a team of 10,000 people would be wiped out so easily.

"What, what to do?" The officer's mind went blank and he stammered.

"Patriarch, only if the whole army presses and disperses, so that the casualties of crossbow arrows will be reduced, and the spears will not hurt so many people." Cui Tao hurriedly said with his mind spinning.

"That's right! Right! When the officer and the crossbow heard this, they nodded hurriedly, and then ordered the trumpet to be blown, and the whole army charged, leaving only 20,000 men in preparation.

Li Jice stood on the hill, clearly saw all the actions of the other party in the telescope, did not expect that the Turks actually knew to leave the reserves, immediately left 10,000 people, the rest of the whole army dispatched, the light cavalry flanked the two wings, compressed the space, and the heavy cavalry advanced in the middle.

The battle entered the white-hot at the beginning, after the rain of arrows, it was a hard-fought battle, Li Ji stood on a high place, constantly issuing orders, the Tang army often broke into the Turkic formation from many sides, and let the Turks run with him.

This reflects the gap between the commanders of the two sides, and there are almost no extra orders for the commander and the crossbow, just watching his subordinates play freely.

Li Ji was adjusting, adjusting, and directing the direction with the command flag from a high place.

The leading troops of the Tang Dynasty are all famous generals, all of whom have experienced large and small battles, and they only need to take a look at Lingqi in their leisure time to know which direction they should move into, often forming a situation of fighting more and fighting less.

The heavy cavalry launched a surprise attack, like a bulldozer, knocking the Turks and horses into the air, and the long chopping knife in the hand did not need superfluous movements, and when the two sides staggered, they could cut off the enemy's body when the two sides staggered.

The light cavalry on both sides is constantly moving under the command, compressing the Turks and gathering in the middle, and the heavy cavalry will advance towards the place where there are many people, advancing.

The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and rushed towards the weakness of the Tang Dynasty with the remaining 20,000 people, and the crossbow was unwilling Cui Tao watched from the side, and charged with a knife wrapped around him.

Cui Tao never expected such a result, and a bitter feeling came to his heart, but under the threat of losing the crossbow, he had to draw his sword and take the lead in the charge.
