Chapter 816: The Great War is Coming
The winds in the desert are not weak.
At this time, the temperature has gradually risen, and at noon, it even makes people feel hot.
Qin Tian's face was not particularly good-looking.
"British duke, the Turks did this, we really didn't expect it, it seems that we have to be ready to fight to the death with the Turks."
40,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, they still need to fight to the death, not to mention that there are 60,000 Turkic soldiers and horses now.
Li Ji's expression was a little solemn, and after a while, he said: "The Turks are indeed a little clever in doing this, two situations, first, the Turks sent 60,000 soldiers and horses to intercept us, 40,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Hou Junji and them, and second, they only sent 60,000 soldiers and horses, of which 40,000 soldiers and horses guarded the Turkic royal city. ”
"This ...... How is this possible, British Duke, if this is the case, Hou Junji and them will not be hindered along the way, will Jieli Khan do this? After Cheng Yanjin heard Li Ji's words, he couldn't believe it.
Li Ji smiled here: "Hou Junji only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if they attack the Turkic King City, do you think they can capture it, and there are still 40,000 soldiers and horses in the Turkic King City, maybe they can directly destroy Hou Junji and them, and 60,000 Turkic soldiers and horses also have the strength to defeat them, the situation is not good for us, unless Hou Junji and they think of this and turn back to fight with us." ”
Qin Tian didn't think of this, so after hearing Li Ji's words, Qin Tian shook his head: "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
Li Ji sighed: "It's really difficult, so let's prepare ourselves now." ”
Now that they know the number of Turkic soldiers and horses, they must be mentally prepared.
Moreover, it is necessary to determine how to fight in order to guarantee their victory, if not victory, then it must be undefeated.
"Let the soldiers rest during the day and hurry at night, and when they leave the desert, preferably at night, we launch an attack on the Turks and disrupt their tactics."
If the Turks want to wait for work and fight with their Tang army, then they must disturb the Turks and make the Turks have no rest.
In this way, they will be able to increase their chances of winning.
After Qin Tian finished saying this, he discussed with Li Ji and them in detail, and after the discussion, they began to act according to the plan they had discussed.
After a few days, they finally made it out of the desert.
And when they walked out of the desert, it was that night.
The evening breeze blew, and there was a coolness, and the Tang army, who saw the greenery again, suppressed the joy in their hearts at the moment, they did not stay long, and rushed directly to the Turkic military camp.
The Turkic military camp was camped five miles outside the estuary desert, because the Tang army would come out in a few days, so they were still very cautious at night and sent a lot of people to patrol.
And just when the Tang army rushed over, the Turkic soldiers and horses were already aware of it.
"It's not good, the Tang army is coming, the Tang army is coming......"
The Turks shouted loudly in the barracks, but just as the Turkic soldiers were hurriedly gathering, a few bright spots suddenly appeared in the night sky, and then, from those bright spots, one rocket after another flew in, and after these rockets fell into the Turkic barracks, they quickly set the Turkic barracks on fire.
The wind was still a little strong at night, and the wind helped the fire, and soon it burned in the Turkic military camp, not only many tents were burned, but also grain and grass were also affected.
The Turks were preparing to deal with the Tang army, but they never thought that there was danger in the sky, one rocket after another was still being launched, and the entire Turkic military camp became a sea of fire.
"Fight the fire, put out the fire......"
They can't let the fire burn like this, if they don't have food and grass, I'm afraid that there will be no way to fight this battle, as long as the Tang army drags on for a day, the Turks will be very dangerous.
Therefore, on the Turkic side, Hero sent people to fight the fire while sending people to resist the Tang army that rushed in.
The Tang army quickly rushed in and fought with the Turkic soldiers and horses.
It is not denied that the Turkic soldiers and horses are very powerful, but at such a night, the combat effectiveness of the Turks is very affected, and the Tang army rests during the day, and its physical strength at night is very abundant, and when it fights with the Turks, it is very crazy.
The fire again affected the morale of the Turks.
So in this battle, the Tang army killed bravely.
At the beginning, the Tang army did have an advantage, but as time went by, the Turkic soldiers and horses gradually calmed down, and more and more Turkic soldiers and horses were killed, which made the Tang army feel some pressure.
However, after killing like this for a while, Qin Tian ordered the soldiers to retreat, and had no intention of continuing to fight with the Turkic soldiers.
They had no intention of defeating the Turkic soldiers and horses tonight, they just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the living forces of the Turks, and then delay for a while.
A complete battle was very unfavorable to their Tang army, so they could only weaken the Turks through this kind of dispatch.
The Tang army retreated, although the fire in the Turkic camp was smaller, it was still burning, and tonight, the Turks were afraid that it would be difficult to rest.
After the Tang army withdrew, it stopped ten miles away from the Turks, and after setting up camp, it began to rest.
They had to keep enough distance from the Turks, and then be prepared to rest well, and now that they had met, they would definitely come to them when the Turks recovered.
The situation will change.
Originally, the Turks waited for work and wanted to wait for the Tang army to come out and immediately fight with the Tang army.
However, after this night's raid, the Turks appeared passive, and after the Tang army set up camp, they could wait for the angry Turks to come to their door.
It was only at dawn that the Turkic fire was finally brought under control.
Many of the Turkic soldiers and horses were disgraced by the fire, which made Hiro very angry.
"Damn, hateful, the Tang Army is looking for death......"
"General, the Tang army is encamped ten miles away, should we lead the troops over now and fight them to the death?" A Turkic soldier looked at Hiro and asked, he was so angry that he couldn't kill the Tang army.
It's just that Hiro shook his head: "No, the soldiers didn't rest well last night, as long as the war lasts too long, it will be very unfavorable to us, and the morale of our army will be seriously damaged, so let the soldiers rest well, and tomorrow morning, we will fight with the Tang Army again." ”
Speaking of this, Hiro seemed to think of something again, and said: "The thing that Datang can fly into the air is really terrifying, let the soldiers expand the patrol range, once they find them, immediately shoot them down for me, their thing has not been flying in the air for a long time, it must have taken off around." ”
Hiro was worried that tonight, the Tang army would send hot air balloons to burn their barracks and make them not rest, so he arranged it like this.
