Chapter Eighty-Seven: A New Situation

The army rested in Dingxiang for ten days, mainly to wait for the other five armies to arrive at the predetermined location. In this battle, what is needed is to attack on all fronts, so that the Turks have no chance to slip through the net at all. To play the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, we must fight to determine the peace, and there will be no war in the north from now on!

In the past 10 days, the reconnaissance company of the new military camp has been in the limelight. In the face of the enemy that needs to be destroyed, one blow is the fury of thunder, there is no pressure to win more with less, and the goal of total annihilation is the minimum requirement. And when facing small tribes that don't have to be attacked, they can completely hide their tracks, and they won't leave the slightest flaw.

The several old scouts who followed the reconnaissance company's actions throughout the whole process were a real eye-opener. I thoroughly understand what it means to be "quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit." ”

The reconnaissance results were reported again and again, and the two friendly forces were successfully contacted. Li Jing was very satisfied with the reorganization of the new military camp into the Chinese army, and with a wave of his hand, he launched an offensive on all fronts on the eighth day of the first month of winter according to the original plan.

Compared with the original history, because of the followers and the Turks are completely close to each other. When attacking Shuozhou, Dingxiang and other places, Li Jing had to surprise his troops and make a surprise attack on a snowy night. In order not to let the news leak. And this time, these places have long been controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and the Turkic side is completely unaware that the Tang Dynasty would launch such a big offensive without warning.

Six-way army, more than 100,000 horses. Once launched, the momentum is extremely huge. With the support of accurate intelligence, some small tribes along the way who were placed on the front line of Dingxiang for the purpose of buffering were cleaned up by Lianwo before they could react.

It wasn't until the Tang army pushed for five days in a row and arrived less than a hundred miles near Tieshan that Jieli got the news. However, at this point, it was too late! In the face of the menacing Tang Army, Jieli had to blow the horn of gathering troops. If they could not repel the Tang army at the foot of the Iron Mountain, the Turkic people would lose the fertile steppe on which they depended.

However, in the past few years, Jieli, who has been drunk and dreamed of death, and is addicted to lies, does not know that several generals under his account have already secretly exchanged money with the Tang people, and business has blossomed everywhere. I wanted to push Jieli out and kill him, and then his gang divided the grassland. Compared with the previous days of begging for a living under Jieli, herding sheep in the future, shearing and selling to Datang is a beautiful and happy life!

As for the Tang Army, from Li Jing onwards, all the leading generals have the same thought: Huayin is short of labor, and the young and strong are five times! Woman and child three-run! When you see someone, you will give money, and the money and goods will be cleared, and you will never be in arrears!

The current Turks, in the eyes of this gang of Tang troops, are not enemies, but strings of copper coins that can run!

The Great War unsurprisingly showed a one-sided trend, and the Turks were completely no match for the Tang Army in terms of equipment and morale. What's worse is that there is not even a place on the grassland to escape and hide. After the battle, the lost Turks showed an avalanche of defeat, and the Tang army took prisoners all over the mountains.

At this time, Li Jing suddenly understood why when he set out on this expedition, the bastards under his command had to bring twice as many auxiliaries and people, not to transport baggage, but to escort the prisoners on the return trip!

This damn thing! Li Jing stood at the highest point somewhere in the Iron Mountain, looking at the battlefield situation with a telescope, and pinching his teeth.

"Alas! The old man has been in the army for decades, and now it seems that he is indeed an old man! ”

"Handsome! The new army medical battalion is indeed a brilliant means of battlefield ambulance! In the end, I learned their methods in the past few days to make statistics, so that the wounded rescued, as long as they were not killed on the spot, had at least a seventy percent survival rate when they were rescued! ”

"What? Seventy percent? ”

Li Jing's eyes widened, he was too shocked by this data. You know, the veterans who have recovered from the bloody battle are the elite! It is a pity that in ordinary wars, there are often not one out of ten wounded people who are rescued from the battlefield. It's really that the treatment techniques can't keep up, most of them are struggling for a few days, and they can't earn their lives!

Seventy percent survive, what does it mean?

Li Jing didn't pay attention to the movements of the Jieli Golden Tent anymore, and went directly to the field hospital to observe. I feel that I didn't look carefully enough in the Dingxiang camp last time.

"Dashuai, the Turki Khan is here......"

"Oh. Tuli, this time against us, it seems that there is no banner for him? ”

"Yes, the commander, after receiving Jieli's conscription order, the Tuli Khan directly led his people to retreat to Yinshan and joined the Zhuo knights. Now I have brought soldiers and horses to help my army capture the prisoners......"

"Hehe, this slippery head! It's beautiful! ”

"Dashuai, the Turki Khan said that he helped arrest people for free, not for payment! Handsome, don't use it in vain......"

"Hey, what's free? You boys, now you're all philistines. The dignified national war is the same as buying vegetables on the street, and the price is still being bargained! Is...... Don't you know what Tuli has in mind when you are an old man? Jieli's golden tent fell, and he Tuli was the largest tribe in the steppe. As soon as you pack up, you can ascend to the position of Great Khan. By that time, the entire steppe would be his, and he would still have any prisoners! ”

"Still handsome, eyes like torches......"

"Okay, okay, don't pat yourself on the back, go tell Tuli and let him arrest people with his heart. Vacate the grassland, and herd the sheep in the future! Datang is not rare to his people, waiting for him to send livestock and wool to the Central Plains! ”

After sending Tuli away, Li Jing came to the field hospital. This time, the hospital was located on the grassland, and the use of tents was also used. The tent with the white curtain and red cross is still very eye-catching, but to Li Jing's surprise, the number of such tents is as many as more than 300!

"What? How many of our wounded are there? ”

Li Jing was quite surprised, and he had the impression that this way was very smooth, and the originally fierce Turks were not opponents at all. The casualty numbers reported below are not large, why are there so many medical tents? Could it be that someone lied about the military situation? Or, too, took in the Turkic wounded? Datang's medicine is not enough, where is the mood to save these barbarians?!

Sign up for admission to the hospital, find the doctor on duty to ask,

"Marshal, of course our hospital will not take in the Turkic wounded. It's just that the battlefield ambulance techniques of the medical battalion are too magical, and along the way, they have attracted the attention of the generals. They also sent all the military doctors under their accounts...... Now this field hospital is not only our First Route Army, but also the general hospital of the entire Sixth Route Army and the 130,000-strong army! ”

Li Jing pulled his beard straight, yes, he was worried that the boys under his command would not be able to accept the fact that the new army was born, for fear that there would be some trouble in the future, and it would be difficult to clean up in the future. Now it seems that he is a little out of step with the situation......
