The wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the original posture was set up to counterattack the Tang army's Bo Yuan, and 20,000 cavalry on the left and right made a roundabout maneuver to both sides, running out for about two or three miles, but they instantly reversed the direction of the attack.

With the help of a roundabout direction posture, the 40,000 cavalry on the left and right directly opened the stance, and the distance of less than five miles was the best distance for the cavalry to charge.

And the remaining nearly 40,000 cavalry of the Bo Bao headquarters also suddenly turned around and rushed towards the Jieli headquarters.

"Bastard, how come I didn't think of that?" Jieli Khan scolded angrily, but he couldn't change this fact on the battlefield, and hurriedly shouted to the left and right: "Fight!" Against! Kill the ...... of the bowl and the bowl

The distance of two or three miles is far and far, but it is very close for cavalry.

The Turks have never talked about any tactics or anything like that, relying on a brave word, the winner is king, as long as you have enough strength, you can unify the entire steppe, here, only strength is the most important, what intrigues and tricks, here is far less popular than the Central Plains.

In the battle, 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Jieli headquarters under the command of their respective generals, rushed towards the 80,000 Tuli tribes, although the rebellion in front of the Tuli army caught them off guard, but they had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, as for the infantry of the Tang people, the Turks really didn't look at it.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Tuli and Jieli met together, and the sound of the collision of war knives, the neighing of war horses, the wails of soldiers who were injured and fell to the ground, and the painful sound of being trampled by war horses, came one after another.

The Jieli Division, which has been recuperating for a long time, slightly occupies the initiative on the battlefield, but the Tuli Division, which had only rested well yesterday, is not much worse than the Jieli Division.

The two sides went back and forth, slashing at each other, and many soldiers fell off their horses.

"How does it feel to watch the Turks fight themselves?" A few miles away in the rear, Li Yuanji, who was in the Chinese army, asked in a wandering manner.

Ma Wu's face was full of confusion, as if he didn't know how to answer: "It's very cool, but I still want to go up and kill them in person." ”

"You'll have a chance!" Li Yuanji smiled faintly, the big battle was imminent, but his mood was relaxed, without the slightest sense of tension.

"Your Highness!" The general of the Fourth Army arrived at the Chinese army and greeted Li Yuanji with a worried face.

Li Yuanji doesn't feel like a general of the unified army at all, just like now, a qualified general of the unified army will never summon a general of the partial army to come to the Chinese army for a meeting at this time, even if there are any latest changes, he will send cavalry to deliver news, or command the entire army formation through the command flag and war drums.

The tasks and responsibilities of the ministries were determined long before the war, and everyone knew exactly what their tasks in this war were.

The behavior of gathering generals before the war like Li Yuanji is very likely to be seized by the enemy to counterattack.

"This battle is dominated by the Chinese army, and the left and right rear armies are responsible for covering the Chinese army. Li Yuanji calmly glanced at everyone and continued: "All the battle merits belong to you, and this king's Chinese army does not want a single head of war merits. ”

"What?" Zhang Gongjin was taken aback, Li Daozong was also stunned, and even Li Jing couldn't help but twitch.

With the Chinese army as the mainstay, they can complete the tasks assigned by Li Shimin and consume Li Yuanji's headquarters soldiers and horses to the greatest extent, but he doesn't even want military exploits, isn't he afraid that the soldiers under his command will rebel?

"There are some things that everyone knows, and this king does not want to mention them again, and the brothers have gone out with this king and suffered all kinds of hardships, and it is understandable to give them more military exploits, and as for the king's own soldiers and horses, this king will reward them, and it is useless to ask for these so-called military exploits." Li Yuanji was not surprised, the military exploits did not matter to the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, after this battle, he would definitely reward them lavishly, these are all people who can't go back, and the imperial court will not reward them, it is indeed useless to ask for these military exploits, but his own reward will definitely be more generous than the imperial court.

Turning his head to look at Su Dingfang, the youngest of all the generals and the least senior, but on an equal footing with the other three, he was extremely optimistic about the guy: "You have fought many times with this king, you should know what to do next!" ”

"The last general understands!" Su Dingfang responded loudly, there was a faint blood surging in his body, and he would personally lead 10,000 cavalry to kill the enemy, which was something that he could only dream about before.

"Remember, it's friendly soldiers with a black cloth around their necks, so try to avoid accidental injuries as much as possible while ensuring your own safety." Before the battle, Li Yuanji said the last bombshell.

Everyone was shocked, and when they looked back, they found that there was really a black cloth tied around the neck of the Tuli Ministry, and no one noticed when they tied it, but they still admired Li Yuanji's strategy.

The forces that were not advantageous now have an absolute advantage, and now alone, they have 150,000 troops, while Jieli's side only has about 100,000 troops.

The generals of the four armies returned to their respective military formations, Su Dingfang rectified a little, and then issued a military order to attack, 10,000 cavalry divided into two, from the front of the battlefield left and right sides around, the spear and horizontal knife in the hand was also put away, replaced by a not particularly large new recurve bow, the body of the war horse is almost full of quivers, each quiver is full of bows and arrows, each of them has nearly a hundred arrows.

"Change formation!"

With Li Yuanji's order, the war drums rumbled, and the main formation of the Chinese army, which had already been trained, a Chinese army with a large formation of 14,000 people, quickly changed the existing formation.

In the blink of an eye, it changed from a square formation on the march to a saw-shaped formation.

The formation is very simple, that is, the edges of the four straight hooks are turned into a zigzag formation, the outermost one is holding a square shield in front, they don't have to do anything, they just need to hide their bodies behind the shield, followed by several soldiers with spears, through the cover of the shield, use the spears to strangle the enemy, and then behind, the infantry armed with bows and arrows, they are responsible for long-range strikes, as much as possible to reduce the pressure in front.

"Attack!"

'Ryu~~Ryu~~'

The drums sounded very regularly, and the soldiers of the army followed the drums step by step, and each time the war drums sounded, they pushed forward one step further.

Li Jing's face in the rear army was extremely ugly, and Zhang Gongjin and Li Daozong of the left and right armies were also not much better.

Everyone is a veteran of the battle, not to mention hundreds of battles, at least seventy or eighty, what kind of battles have not been seen? But today, King Qi put out this formation, I really haven't seen it.

What's even worse is that the infantry still has to advance, which is completely inconsistent with the laws of warfare.

"The infantry and cavalry still have to advance in formation, what does King Qi want to do? Will he fight? Adjutant General Yang Gan looked at the Chinese army in front of him, his face full of disdain.

"The King of Qi is also a person who has fought a war, and at this time, there will inevitably be some looseness in the battle formation, giving the enemy a chance to take advantage of, but the Turks on the opposite side have no time to respond, so they should not seize this opportunity." Although he was puzzled, Li Jing still figured out the key to it, but he was still puzzled by the formation that Li Yuanji put out, and continued: "Order, follow the Chinese army." ”

Their task is to cover the Chinese army, and they have to follow the Chinese army wherever they go, this is a military order, even if you don't obey, you can only obey on the battlefield, otherwise if nothing else, a beheading is enough.

……

Jieli Khan's face was extremely ugly, he did not expect that Tuli would suddenly rebel, nor did he expect that he would believe Tuli's lies.

Until now, Jieli is full of anger in addition to anger.

The battle is still going on, and the Jieli Department has some advantages, but these advantages mainly come from the previous advantages in terms of recuperation and numbers, but this advantage is not particularly large, and it will take a great price to defeat Tuli.

Besides, there's more to it than that.

Jieli finally understood why Tuli lost a lot of grain and grass and fled from Fengzhou in a hurry, and why the speed on the road was so slow, not because they lost grain and grass, but because they wanted to lead the way for the Tang army.

"Great Khan! The Tang Army moved! The soldiers around Jieli Khan noticed the Tang Army's abnormal movement and hurriedly exclaimed.

Jie Li raised his head sharply and looked at the Tang army a few miles away with bloodshot eyes.

The 10,000 cavalry split into two and made a detour to the left and right flanks, and the infantry was advancing slowly, not quickly, but only a few miles away, and could advance to the battlefield in less than a quarter of an hour.

"Great Khan, withdraw!" The old man spoke again and said, his face was without that feeling of strategizing, and the whole person seemed to be a lot older, showing that he was very unenergetic.

"Withdraw? Where to retreat? Jieli couldn't accept this decision for a while, and behind him was the tooth tent, where there was his lifeline, and countless cattle, sheep and horses were there. It is only these soldiers who can run away, but how many soldiers who have lost their supplies can survive in this season, in this ghost weather?

"Once the infantry of the Tang Army followed, at that time, they couldn't withdraw if they wanted to, and from the moment the Bo Bi rebelled, we were already defeated, and now they have more troops than us and are more prepared than us, and the Great Khan must focus on the overall situation!" The old man spat out a mouthful of blood and persuaded with his last strength.

"The infantry of the Tang Army, Ben Khan, has never been in his eyes, and even if he comes, what can he do? Ben Khan would kill them all, one by one. Jieli roared almost madly, and after one blow after another, the future of Jieli was already bleak, and he couldn't continue to keep calm.

"But the cavalry without mobility is not at all the opponent of the infantry of the Tang Army." The old man said this with difficulty, and then his eyes darkened, and he fell from his horse.

'Whoosh ......'

Bows and arrows fell from the sky, and one by one, the soldiers of the headquarters who could not dodge fell to the ground with arrows, or the horses were hit by arrows, and the painful ones ran wildly in the formation, causing a whole chaos.

Jieli Khan's eyes were opened to the maximum, staring at the periphery in the distance, his face full of consternation: "This ...... How is this possible ......? ”
