"Happy, happy!" Liu Boying couldn't stop laughing: "I have fought a battle for a lifetime, and this battle is the most refreshing, Dudu, I really convinced you." At first, I doubted the ability of the governor, and I was ashamed! ”

Although Luo Tong was happy, he was very unhappy when he thought of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that the Turks had run away, and said: "If there are 10,000 more, no, 5,000 elite cavalry, we will be able to keep the remaining soldiers and horses." ”

Thinking of Jieli's move of breaking the wrist of the strong man, Luo Tong also had to admit that the strong man's broken wrist was beautiful. directly killed Luo Tong's intention to kill the big and small khans.

10,000 people is no more, no less, if Luo Tong does not defeat them, they will inevitably rush to the battlefield and put the tired and slackened Modao army to death. But choosing to defeat them is tantamount to missing the possibility of pursuing them with victory. Even if the Turks are physically exhausted and their combat effectiveness is not strong, after this desperate decision, with that momentum of seeing death as home, Luo Tong and them were helpless for a while. can only choose to completely annihilate this palace army, although Zhao Feiyang, Niu Tong, and Liu Boying performed well, but their soldiers were too poor, although they were killed, but the effect was not great.

Although the achievements of the entire campaign have been brilliant, the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant!

"Boss, you're going to have to make an inch!" Cheng Chuliang saw that Luo Tong had a big appetite and could swallow an elephant, so he couldn't help but punch him.

Luo Tong smiled and accepted.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!" Fang Yiai, who was tired like a dead dog, shouted, "Let that old dog run away." ”

Luo Tong shook his head with a smile and said, "Anyone can die, but Jieli can't die." ”

Fang Yiai asked stupidly, "Why?" ”

Luo Tong explained: "Jieli died, which is equivalent to doing Tuli a great favor. With the prestige of the Turks at this time, once Jieli died, he would naturally unify the Turks. A unified Turk is not in the interests of the Tang Dynasty, and our purpose is to let him fight among themselves, so that they can cripple and cripple the Turks by themselves......"

Glancing at the generals, Luo Tong said indifferently: "The Turks are too uncompetitive, so I have the action of going deep into the Turks to rob one after another." ”

The generals suddenly realized that the robbery was just an excuse, and Luo Tong's real purpose was to help the Turks and let the Turks continue to fight, and they all looked at the far-sighted Luo Tong with admiration.

Luo Tong smiled: "Don't look at me like that, I was also ordered to do it." This is the national policy of the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Turks, and everyone must keep this secret. Although it is not a secret secret, Luo Tong still confessed.

The generals obeyed the order!

Xin Fang'er, Zhao Feiyang, and Niu Tong were even more excited, and a feeling of being trusted and regarded as their own people arose.

"This battle can be described as brilliant. However, if the words are disappointed, now is not the time for us to be happy. "Liu Boying is a senior, and he is the person with the richest experience in his life.

"Needless to say, the glory of this battle is to be ridden on foot. Victory is no longer easy. What's more, this battle was a battle of defeating the strong with the weak, defeating six times the enemy, killing and wounding four times the number of enemy troops and more than half of their own numbers. Impeccable results. But the price we paid was also heavy, the Modao Army lost two-thirds of its combat effectiveness, and the remaining one-third could no longer fight. And what about the Turks? ”

"Despite their heavy casualties, the advantage of being outnumbered is fully evident here. With such heavy losses, the Turks still had 70,000 or 80,000 combat strength. And we have less than 10,000 main cavalry. The original ratio of soldiers was six times greater, but now it is more than ten times. The situation is still extremely grim, and if Jieli reorganizes the army and fights again, we are in danger of being annihilated! ”

The generals' expressions also became extremely heavy.

Luo Tong smiled calmly and said, "Uncle, don't worry." After this battle, if the Turks want to strike again, they will have to go through a day or two of rest. The direction of the war of time is no longer towards the Turks. ”

Liu Boying is now convinced by Luo Tong, and at this time, seeing that Luo Tong looks like he is in his chest, he is no longer talking.

Luo Tong saw that Xin Fang'er, Zhao Feiyang, and Niu Tong seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and hugged Xin Fang'er and Zhao Feiyang's shoulders and said: "The three generals don't need to think about it, just say whatever they want, as soldiers, we don't have so many rules as literati." No matter how it used to be, now it is a family, and the family does not speak two family words. ”

Xin Fang'er said gratefully: "Thank you for your trust." He coughed lightly and said, "Brother Mojiang has lived in Shuofang since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the climate here, if it is not unexpected, there will be a snowstorm tonight, generally speaking, this kind of snowstorm lasts for a long time, not to mention three or five days." ”

"And it's not your average blizzard."

"What Brother Xin wants to say is exactly what the last general wants to say."

Zhao Feiyang and Niu Tong also expressed their positions.

Luo Tong laughed and said: "Even God is on our side, what else do we have to worry about, we will clean up the battlefield for me if we can, and go back to the city as soon as possible to avoid the wind and snow." ”

**********

A camp for the Turks to temporarily rest! The clouds are bleak and mournful.

Jieli originally planned to take advantage of the momentum of the big victory, crush Luo Tong's Xiazhou army, and then go to Datang to rob supplies to survive the winter, who would have thought that the ideal is plump, the reality is very skinny, Luo Tong slapped Jieli hard with his Mo knife array.

It hurts so much that my heart is broken,

The 110,000 descendants are gone, can it not hurt?

In the big tent, Jieli glared angrily at his most favored henchman, Ashina Sixie: "You actually lost this big money of Ben Khan?" ”

Ashina Sixie's face turned pale with fright, as the envoy in charge, he knew the fate of losing Daxu, and hurriedly explained: "King Hui Khan, the heads of his subordinates are blown by the wind. Somehow, I lost it. ”

Hearing that he was not an excuse, Jieli was even more furious in his heart, and stepped forward with a knife, cutting him to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Even you dare to humiliate me, it's upside down!" ”

The battle of Qiwu Mountain was too bad.

The 190,000 army was disabled by 30,000 foot soldiers, and in the end, they had nearly 100,000 troops and let 10,000 Tang troops chase after their butts, which really threw their faces to their grandmother's house.

Forced to break his wrist and return to the camp to recuperate, Jieli clearly felt the distrust of most of the surviving chiefs. The prestige that was finally gathered was lost cleanly because of this embarrassing battle. He can be regarded as experienced in battle, but he really can't imagine that Luo Tong beat the idea to the wind, so that he was defeated.

Hearing the word "wind" now feels like an insult to him.

"Someone!" Jieli was full of anger and shouted: "Report it, Ashina Si Xie is a spy of the Tang soldiers, leaked the intelligence of our army, and intended to assassinate me, so I was executed." With red eyes, he scanned the crowd fiercely and shouted, "Gather all the khans to discuss the matter." ”

The bodies were dragged out and buried, and the blood on the ground was wiped away.

One by one, the Turkic chieftains arrived listlessly, and the speed was not as fast as before, and Jie Li held back his anger and said: "You also know the situation of the Tang army, which is worse than ours. We still have 70,000 soldiers, but they don't even have 10,000. I decided to raise troops again and completely annihilate Luo Tong in Qiwu Mountain. If we don't snow today's shame, how can we stand on the grassland. ”

Although Yigan Khan questioned Jieli's tie level, his words went to everyone's hearts.

The grassland people have the pride of the grassland people, and riding and archery is their proudest and proudest stunt.

But Luo Tong drove nearly 100,000 cavalry with 10,000 cavalry......

Shame on people, throw it to the old ancestor Ashina Tumen.

For the Turks, Li Shimin once described them as follows: The Turks are good at riding and shooting, seeing the advantages of the front, knowing the difficulties and leaving, galloping, not constantly Chen Chen with bows and arrows as minions, armor as the regular uniform, the team does not line, the battalion has no fixed place. Chase water and grass for the living room, take sheep and horses as military food, win and seek wealth, and there is no shame in defeat. There is no night patrol and no cost of building a fortress to feed food.

In a simple sentence, it can be said that the habits of the Turks are vividly analyzed.

In particular, "winning and seeking wealth, and defeating without shame" and the mentality of the Turks are named.

But this time, the defeated Turks were rarely ashamed.

Even if the Turkic soldiers had faces as thick as city walls, they couldn't stand such a humiliation.

Ashina Sheer shouted: "The Khan is right, my Turkic descendants must not disgrace our ancestors. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic warriors, let 10,000 horseback infantry chase the buttocks, driving sheep like a killing and beating, we can't afford to lose this face. ”

Ashina Sheer served as a tribal leader at the age of eleven, he was deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, not only wise and brave, but also honest and noble, serving as a pioneer for ten years, never collecting taxes, nor getting a stitch from the hands of the tribesmen, and won the love of the tribesmen. The Turkic anti-Central Plains attitude was fierce, but Ashina Sheer had a long-term vision and saw that it was not allowed to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and persuaded Jieli many times but was not adopted.

But as a Turkic royal family, Ashina Sheer is proud of the Turkic blood in his body, but today, 10,000 Tang troops are fighting with hundreds of thousands of them.

As a well-known moderate in the royal family, he was also angry at this time, even if he disagreed with Jieli, but in the general interests of the nation, he also stood up and echoed his words at this moment, and he must take down Luo Tong.

Ashina Sheer raised his head. The other khans were also deeply ashamed, and screamed at the top of their throats.

Shame and courage!

Seeing that the leaders of the Turkic Khans were all like being beaten with chicken blood, Jieli nodded with satisfaction. Morale is available.

Thinking of the shame of the last battle, Jieli's eyes were full of bloodthirsty fierceness, and he roared indignantly in his heart: "Luo Tong, don't peel your skin and cramp." I swear not to be a human being. ”

Jieli Khan walked out of the tent with a group of Turkic chieftains and khans with shame engraved on their faces......

But the heavy snow made me confused!

Snow, it's falling very hard! I couldn't see anything ten meters away.

Ashina Sheer looked at the dark clouds in the sky in a daze, and said with difficulty for a long time: "King Khan, the blizzard is coming, I think we should retreat." If you don't leave, everyone will starve to death and freeze to death. ”

Jieli is not a stupid pig, he naturally knows that withdrawing the army is the only choice, this kind of bad weather, let alone fighting, he can't even see the road clearly, if he persists, he will not let the Tang army be killed, and he will have to freeze to death and starve to death.

The men still have rations, but the horses have nothing to eat.

Shuo Fang has an army of 70,000, while Luo Tong only has 30,000, that is, he still has more than 50,000 people in his hands. If they can't capture the Great Wall and Shuofang, their horses will definitely be frozen, and without horses, they will be equivalent to cutting off their legs.

In the end, he could only freeze to death and starve to death in the ice and snow.

People are dead, there is nothing left, and now is not the time to be vindictive.

Jie Litie blushed, and hummed unwillingly: "Withdraw!" Retreat to Dingxiang. ”
