Dawn is approaching, and the sound of killing in the dark night sky continues, the neighing of war horses, and the groans of pain after people are slashed.

The battlefield is so cruel, in the era of cold weapons, if you want to survive in the battlefield, you can only ensure that you are not injured as much as possible, even if you are injured, you must be as sure as possible that your position is safe, will not be trampled by the other party, and pray that your blood loss is not too fast, otherwise a battle is not over, you are already dead.

The Turks are brave, but they are also stupid.

In the dark night, the formation of the cavalry charge was not perfect, and after it had been completely disrupted, it was impossible to maintain the advantage of high-speed maneuvering, and the more rational generals should have the most important order at this time to retreat.

War is not fought overnight, and a battle is not rushed, especially in this situation, the consequence of being anxious can only be the current situation.

The torches had long since burned out, the sky was beginning to light slightly, only a few Turkic cavalry were still struggling, and the rest had withdrawn in advance, staying far away and looking at the battlefield in fear, their eyes fearless and at a loss.

"What about the dog's cavalry?" Wei Chi Jingde was very dissatisfied with this battle.

Their arrangement can be described as seamless, as long as the two sides cooperate properly, there is no problem in annihilating the Turkic army in front of them.

It can be said that the cavalry began to charge at the beginning of the battle, and now the battle is almost over, and there is still no cavalry in sight.

With the help of the faint light, Li Yuanji, who has super eyesight, can faintly see the crowd surging in the distance, which is not the picture that the cavalry should have when charging, so far, why the cavalry did not appear, Li Yuanji also has the answer in his heart.

"The Turks are not too stupid!"

"Huh?" Wei Chi Jingde was stunned, he was scolding the cavalry, you told me that the Turks were not stupid? "I don't know what Your Highness means?"

"We can think of the tactics of cavalry detours, and the Turks naturally think of it, otherwise, there will be more than one enemy army in front of us." As he spoke, he looked around around and the sky was still dark, but the white of the fish belly in the distance still brought some light to himself, which allowed him to see the general terrain of the surroundings clearly.

"Move to that high ground and let the cavalry draw the enemy in."

"What about the enemy forces ahead?" Wei Chi Jingde was puzzled, there are still enemy troops in front of him, at this time, he is not afraid of being attacked from the side?

"Don't worry about them, the Mo sword soldiers are scattered in the formation, and the soldiers in the middle are ready with bows and arrows, and now the king is afraid that they will not come." Squinting slightly, he didn't take the Turks into his eyes at all.

When I didn't have contact before, I thought that the Turks were so awesome that they were able to hit Chang'an.

But after a fight, Li Yuanji began to feel that the Turks were nothing more than that.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Li Yuanji continued to explain: "Cavalry, bows and arrows, this is the advantage of the Turks in equipment, but this time the king only saw the cavalry, but did not see the Turks' bows and arrows play a role, if the king did not guess wrong, it should be our surprise attack that made the Turks confused, and even forgot to carry bows and arrows."

And the Turks who only have cavalry left, it is not difficult to deal with them, with Mo sword soldiers in hand, no matter how many Turks come, they can only send war merits. ”

"What if the Turks take advantage of this time to return to the camp to get their bows and arrows?" Wei Chi Jingde was a little hesitant, moving in front of the enemy's eyes, this is a taboo for soldiers, Li Yuanji can decide with a pat on the head, but he can't.

"What if you take a bow and arrows? We have more bows and arrows than them, our soldiers are more elite than them, we have strange sword soldiers, infantry soldiers, cavalry, just that little enemy army, this king really didn't pay attention to it. Li Yuanji couldn't help but show a hint of contempt.

What did you say? The Turks have reached Chang'an, which proves that the Turks are very strong in combat?

Just kidding, the Turks were able to hit Chang'an, firstly, because the focus of the imperial court was not on the border passes, but on prevention and judgment in various places, so they couldn't draw troops to fight back for a while. The second is Li Yi's release of water, if Li Yi can stop the Turks in Jingzhou, with the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army and the number of troops in Li Yi's hands, not to mention the lot, it will not be a problem to block it for ten days.

Ten days is enough for the imperial court to prepare the strength of a legion, plus the forbidden army in Chang'an City, there are still 30,000 combatable troops.

Think 30,000 Tang troops can't beat 200,000 Turks?

It is true that the Turks are 200,000, but the Turkic fighting style is the same as that of the steppe peoples in the past, usually a soldier will be equipped with two subordinates, that is, miscellaneous servants, these two people are responsible for finding water for the warriors, keeping food, that is, driving the flocks, and when necessary, they have to go around to loot, so as to ensure the needs of the warriors.

Therefore, the 200,000 Turks have 70,000 soldiers at best.

Although the number of people is still superior, but it is only such an advantage, compared to war horses? Although the Tang army was inferior, the number of cavalry of the Tang army was also considerable.

Than equipped? At present, there is no country or tribe in the whole world whose equipment can be compared with that of the Tang Army.

And the standard configuration of the infantry of the Tang Army was a horizontal sword, a bow, twenty bows and arrows, a spear, a square shield, and it can even be said that every infantry is an archer, and every archer is also an infantryman.

Not to mention the feared Mo sword soldiers, Li Yuanji brought 500 Mo sword soldiers this time, with 1,000 infantry, as long as the tactics are appropriate, it is not a problem to block the charge of 3,000 cavalry.

In terms of personal equipment, the Tang army completely crushed the Turks, not to mention that before this mission, Wei Chi Jingde also thought of the danger, so he equipped all three thousand soldiers with Mingguang armor, whether it is attack or defense, the Turks are not superior.

This is why the Turks were swept away by the Tang army two years later, not because they were too strong, but because the Tang Dynasty took a nap.

"Even if we have superior troops and superior equipment, we must not despise the enemy, we can't afford to gamble!" Wei Chi Jingde was a little hesitant.

"Here it is! Where! We can all win, and we may be attacked by enemy forces on the way, but we can still get there. The only difference between here and there is that we have the advantage of terrain over there, and this king cannot give you any guarantees, but he can tell you that once we get there, our losses will be much smaller. The opinion is like this, you are the commander of the army, how to decide is your business. Li Yuanji spread his hands out, not wanting to fight for anything.

Of course, the main reason is that the Turks are too weak to make themselves really formal, and the Turks have no chance of winning this battle, so they don't care about this.

"We can't take any chances, at least not yet!" Li Yuanji is reasonable, but it violates the common sense of the art of war, and it is only a distance of one or two miles to move the formation, Wei Chi Jingde This does not bring much advantage to the Tang army, Duan Zhixuan died of carelessness, now he must be cautious and not make any mistakes.

So in the end, he still refused to accept Li Yuanji's suggestion, unless Li Yuanji took over the command with that secret edict, then he would have no opinion.

'Rumble~~~'

The earth trembled slightly, and in the darkness in the distance, there were bursts of roars, the roar of the galloping horses, the sound of horses' hooves colliding with the ground, and the dust and smoke in the sky were covered by the night, and it was impossible to see how many people there were.

Wei Chi Jingde's face suddenly changed, although he couldn't see it, but after a long battle, with such a loud sound of horses' hooves, he could still easily judge the answer.

It would take at least two thousand cavalry to make such a move.

"Give the order for the cavalry to get out of the battle as soon as possible and intercept that enemy army from the flanks." Large-scale cavalry charge, Wei Chi Jingde did not dare to be careless, at such a distance, even if there were Mo Dao soldiers, they would suffer huge losses.

Looking at the terrain in the two places, Wei Chi Jingde had to overturn the decision he had made a few seconds ago: "Order, move to the high ground!" ”
