Chapter 19: The All-Army Assault
The army stopped with a wave of Li Shimin's big hand.
Looking at Li Kong, who was completely covered with snowflakes in front of him, Li Shimin's heart jumped suddenly, and then he jumped directly from the horse, and said, "Great, you are still alive!" ”
Li Kong took a deep breath, then looked at the Tang soldiers who turned over and dismounted at the same time, and hugged his fist towards Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people are fortunate to live up to their lives and successfully kill the Turkic leader......
Speaking of this, Li Kong was stunned, because he suddenly found that he didn't know who he killed, and even the name of the general was a mess.
Seeing that Li Kong stopped, Li Shimin asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?" Who did you kill? ”
Li Kong sighed and said: "I don't know if it was Tuli or Jieli who was killed, the two of them drank too much and slept in the king's tent at that time, so I killed one of them, and then blamed the other, but I don't know who they are." ”
As soon as these words came out, the generals behind them were all stunned, they were not surprised that Li Kong did not know Tuli and Jieli, but if what Li Kong said was really true, then the whole grassland should be lively.
The strength of Tuli and Jieli is about the same, but now that they are so disturbed by Li Kong, the two of them will definitely have to fight, maybe Datang will be able to take this opportunity to completely destroy the Turks.
Li Shimin suddenly said, "Can you be sure?" ”
"The grass people can be sure that now the Turkic army has been polarized, nearly half of the people are controlled by another part of the people, although there are still free, but that is only a few, it is estimated that there are up to 10,000 people, and after last night's cold, they have long been sleepy and tired, and now the combat effectiveness is estimated by the grass people, at most no more than thirty percent." Li Kong swore to speak.
This is not that he is greedy for merit, but the conclusion he came to after careful observation, in fact, in his heart, those Turks can be 10% combat effectiveness is good, the reason why he said 30% is just to give himself an insurance.
"Let's go, let's see!" Li Shimin was overjoyed in his heart and hurriedly said.
It's just that after they all got on the horse, Li Kong was stupid, looked at Li Shimin blankly, and said, "What about the grass people?" Your Majesty, you can't throw the kid here, it's too cold. ”
Li Shimin looked at Li Kong with a smile and a smile, the dissatisfaction with him in his heart dissipated a lot, after becoming the emperor, he longed for this kind of family affection that had nothing to do with etiquette, although Li Kong was not his son, but after all, he grew up in the Qin Palace, so Li Shimin definitely didn't want Li Kong to become like other courtiers, and stay away from him.
What's more, if it weren't for Li Shimin's emphasis on love and righteousness, Cheng Yanjin threw his face in front of him three or four times, and it is estimated that Cheng Yanjin would have died many times.
So Li Kong's gag not only did not disgust Li Shimin, but felt a lot more kind, and the stinky boy was still the stinky boy.
"Come on, give him a horse, let him go back to Jingyang to have a good rest and get rid of the cold." Li Shimin pointed at Li Kong, and then said angrily, and then led a group of cavalry to quickly chase forward.
In an instant, only Li Kong and a lone white horse were left on the ground, looking at the white horse sneezing there, Li Kong suddenly felt cold.
After a while, he gritted his teeth, flew directly on the horse's back, and chased after him at a gallop, not because he ventured, but this time Li Jing followed, if there was no Li Jing, Li Kong would definitely be lazy and go back to rest.
But Li Jing's temperament is too stable, and the reason why he has won every battle is because he has never fought uncertain battles, and it is this calm temperament that makes him sit on the throne of the god of war.
But the Turks are too familiar with Li Jing, otherwise they would not have made such a big battle to confuse the Tang army, Li Kong could almost pat his chest and guarantee that if Li Jing saw the neat horseshoe prints on the ground, he would definitely advise Li Shimin to withdraw his troops, and even give Li Kong a big hat to bully the king.
Li Kong is not afraid that Li Shimin will blame, anyway, he is a grass citizen, he has no official status, and Li Shimin will not kill him, at most he will be imprisoned for a period of time.
But Li Kong was not satisfied, after all, he was the one who vowed to take down Li Li's quality, if the impression in Li Shimin's heart slipped, wouldn't his first oath to Datang be over?
When Li Kong caught up with Li Shimin and them, the army had already arrived at the place of the Turkic camp, as Li Kong expected, Li Jing after observing the footprints on the ground, he suggested that Li Shimin retreat, although he did not give Li Kong a hat, but he still erased Li Kong's merits.
Li Shimin was a little hesitant, he was the emperor, although he was decisive, he had to be responsible for the 30,000 soldiers behind him.
Seeing this situation, Li Kong flew up directly, jumped off the horse, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please pursue the Turks, the kid is willing to be the vanguard and capture the flag for Your Majesty!" ”
"Why didn't you go back to rest?" Li Shimin's face sank and said.
Li Kong took a deep breath, looked directly at Li Shimin, and said: "The kid just expected this situation, so he came here, the Turkic leader is a character, and this is to confuse us, the kid is willing to guarantee with the head of the item, this assault, the Turks will definitely be defeated!" ”
Li Jing is dedicated to the public, although he doesn't have a deep impression of Li Kong, but he is also an acquaintance, so when he saw what Li Kong said, he said: "In this case, the old minister thinks that he can give Li Kong 3,000 Xuanjia troops and order him to be the vanguard. ”
"That's it!" Li Shimin was already full of resentment about the Turks' actions this time, but now that he saw that Li Jing agreed, he immediately gave the order.
Li Kong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly responded, and then turned over, ignoring the Xuanjia army behind him, just grabbed a spear and chased it in the direction of the Turks.
"This bastard boy, the Xuanjia Army obeyed the order and immediately followed, and must ensure Li Kong's safety!" Li Shimin gave an order, and the Xuanjia Army roared, causing a small-scale earthquake.
The Turkic march was very slow, and it was less than forty miles near noon, and such a small distance was only an hour's work for the Xuanjia army.
So when they saw the Turkic army, the Turks had not yet crossed the Wei Bridge, the only channel connecting the two sides of the Yellow River.
Seeing this, Li Kong immediately shouted: "Sprint formation, follow me through the enemy's phalanx, block their back road to Weiqiao, and destroy the Turks, only in today!" ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The three thousand Xuanjia Army was originally a dead soldier carefully trained by Li Shimin, and their combat effectiveness was incomparable, and at this moment, when their blood was boiling, they were even less likely to retreat.
When Jieli discovered the abnormality behind him, Li Kong and the others had already rushed to a place less than fifty meters away from the Turks, and before the Turkic army could react, they were directly rushed into the military formation by a torrent, and countless great heads rose into the sky......
