Chapter 20: King to King
Weiqiao.
This place, where the Weiqiao Alliance was signed in the history of the previous life, has become the key to whether the Turks can leave the Central Plains at this time.
At this time, the Turkic generals led by Jieli led the army, less than five miles away from Weiqiao, and the 200,000 army stretched for dozens of miles, so the military array behind was attacked by Li Kong and the Xuanjia army, but it still seemed very calm.
"After crossing the Wei Bridge, it is the Hetao, only five hundred miles away from Yanmen, and the order is to go down, everyone should speed up the march, and be sure to cross the Wei Bridge before dark!" Jieli, who arrived here, breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly.
Ashdewu didn't sip and glared at Jieli coldly, although he hated Jieli to death in his heart, but now he can't do anything, and the army under his command is all controlled by Jieli, as long as Jieli gives an order, they will all be slaughtered, maybe they don't even have the basic ability to resist.
In this raid on the Central Plains, the Turkish Department brought a total of 90,000 people, accounting for half of the Turkish henchmen.
So he's been waiting for an opportunity now, but at the moment, it seems a little slim.
Behind the army, the three thousand Xuanjia army led by Li Kong was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, chopping melons and vegetables to harvest the heads of the Turks.
In less than a short period of time, nearly 10,000 Turks were killed, and none of them survived, and Li Kong and the others also advanced a distance of nearly five miles.
"Li Gongzi, shall I stop for a while? Waiting for the arrival of His Majesty's army? Just as Li Kong's killing was rising, a Xuanjia army rushed over and said loudly.
Li Kong glanced back at him and sneered, "Why? ”
"Going deep alone is a taboo for soldiers!" The Xuanjia Army replied stiffly, and at this moment, Li Kong's eyes made him feel a palpitation, like ...... It's like seeing an angry tiger.
Li Kong was noncommittal, and casually killed a Turkic soldier who tried to resist, and said: "Now that the Turks are sleepy and lacking horses, coupled with our round of charge, their morale has fallen to the limit, if you give up now and let the Turks go, can you afford to take responsibility?" ”
"This ......"
"Needless to say, follow this son's killing, no matter what, we can't let the Turks cross the Wei Bridge, otherwise, our operation this time will be in vain!" Li Kong waved his horsewhip, slammed it on the horse's buttocks, and rushed straight ahead.
The Xuanjia army was not afraid of death, so when they saw Li Kong's actions, they also threw away those ideological burdens one by one, escorted Li Kong's sides, and launched a second round of attacks and killings against the Turks.
Less than five miles away from Li Kong, Li Shimin came to the edge of the battlefield with an army of 30,000.
Looking at the Turkic corpse that fell to the ground, everyone couldn't help but gasp, Li Jing looked even more shocked, and said with annoyance: "I almost missed a great opportunity, Your Majesty, Li Yunfeng is right, at this time the Turks have reached the limit, I will pursue them quickly, and we must not let the Turks cross the Wei Bridge, otherwise the fish will enter the sea, and everything will be too late!" ”
"The generals will listen to the order, quickly pursue the Turks, and remember not to let one go!" Li Shimin made a quick decision and rushed out with his own personal guards.
Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong and Hou Junji were even more unwilling to let their generals go, and they flew out one after another, and in an instant, only Li Tao, Li Jing, Du Ruhui and Fang Qiao were left in the same place.
They are all commander-in-chief characters, and they are not very suitable for fighting in battle formations, when it comes to martial arts, Li Shimin can single-handedly pick up the four of them, so looking at this situation, they are also relatives in their hearts, and it is a bit unpleasant.
……
The sun slowly rose, and Li Shimin's follow-up army finally converged with Li Kong and others, followed by a larger-scale massacre.
That's right, it's slaughter, for the Tang cavalry who rested for a night, these Turks who froze in the ice and snow for a whole night are no different from those lambs to be slaughtered.
And as their movements became bigger and bigger, Jieli in front finally found out that something was wrong, and the soldiers who were rushing all the way finally rushed to Jieli at this time.
"Report, Great Khan, the Tang army has caught up, our soldiers are resisting, but the enemy is strong, we have suffered heavy losses, and tens of thousands of soldiers have died here."
Poof~ Jieli couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, and his face, which was originally a little ruddy because of the cold, instantly turned extremely pale, and roared: "How many people are coming?" ”
The soldier shuddered and replied with some trembling, "Visually...... No less than 30,000 people! ”
Well, this soldier lied, when he came, there were only Li Kong and the three thousand Xuanjia Army, but in order to make up for the mistakes on his side, he overreported tenfold.
However, he also had his own plans, if Jieli found out that the Tang army was less than 5,000, he could be said to be the result of their soldiers fighting hard and killing the enemy.
"Array, meet the enemy!" Jieli roared with a cold face, and all the soldiers immediately stopped advancing, turned around and moved quickly to both sides, constantly shrinking the battle line.
It must be admitted that the Turks have worked very hard in studying the Central Plains in these years, and the whole process took less than half an hour from the order of Jieli to the whole standing and shrinking.
Killing a Turkic soldier in front of him, Li Kong reined in the reins, held a knife in one hand, and stared at the man who slowly walked out of the battle formation hundreds of meters away.
Looking at this Turkic leader who had been released by himself, Li Kong smiled, pointed at Jieli and said loudly: "Which Turkic Great Khan are you?" ”
"I'm the Turkic Ashina, is there no one in the Tang Dynasty? I actually sent you a yellow-mouthed boy to pick up the battle? Jieli looked at the Turkic soldiers who fell to the ground with gloomy eyes, corpses everywhere, few of them from the Tang Army, that is to say, there was a bloody massacre here just now?
Looking at the corpses that stretched for several miles, Jieli felt like he wanted to vomit blood, there must be at least 50,000 people, right?
I worked hard to promote the alliance with Tuli, but I didn't expect to come to the Central Plains to lose troops one after another, and I also completely pushed them and the Tuli Department to the sake of not dying.
Ashina Duyrene? Isn't this Jieli? So the one who died was Tuli?
Li Kong was stunned, and then sneered, and said, "You don't know if there are people in Datang?" What's more, to deal with you, a grassland barbarian, I am enough for a yellow-mouthed child. ”
At this moment, Li Shimin's imperial car rushed over, directly swept past Li Kong, and faced Jieli.
"Jieli, I haven't seen you for a few years, and I've become bolder!"
The cold voice was like a ghost, directly piercing Jieli's heart defense, making him shiver.
