Chapter 427: The Lost Dog

In this battle, Su Dingfang's performance was very outstanding!

The 10,000 Turkic soldiers let him stay on the Gobi Desert easily, except for a limited number of hundreds of people who escaped, more than ninety percent of the Tang army was completely annihilated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Dingfang rode a horse and walked to the battlefield where the corpses were scattered across the field, and the surrounding soldiers were carefully cleaning up the battlefield.

After many years of fighting, his heart has long been like steel, and such a scene has long been unable to arouse his emotion.

This was affected by Qin Feng's strange behavior, and Su Dingfang became more and more calm, believing that it would not be long before he would leave the Tiger Ben Army and create a glory that belonged to him Su Dingfang.

Originally, as a general, he thought about how to fight this battle well, how to win the current battle at the lowest cost, and achieve the most outstanding achievements. After winning, enjoy the joy of victory, and if you perform well, you will be praised and worshipped. As for what will happen after the war, this will be considered slowly. And now, as the head of the First Army, he has a farther look. Basking in the current victory, it is extremely dangerous for someone of his stature. The main thing he has to think about is how to fight the next battle and how to win the next battle.

"General Su, next, shall we stop and rest, or wait for the generals to catch up?"

Pei Xingjian's face was a little pale, it was the first time in history that he really went to the battlefield, and he saw such a scene of corpses all over the field. The liquid in the stomach couldn't help but roll and gause, and it was finally calmed down. Fortunately, he has a tough psychological quality, and he is someone else. The first time I encountered this kind of scene, I had to vomit and die.

Of course, there are exceptions to this kind of thing, Qin Feng is a weird guy, at the age of sixteen, not only did he not have any discomfort when he went to the battlefield, but he was excited, and he had the urge to kill in his temperament.

"No waiting!" Su Dingfang looked at the depths of the grassland and said, "The Great General asked us to delay the Turkic westward advance, if it stopped, wouldn't it disrupt the General's strategic intentions?" Therefore, we continued to follow the ranks of Jieli Khan, and did our best to delay their time. ”

"But the Turks still have 40,000 or 50,000 troops, and more than 100,000 people are on horseback, both men and women are warriors, can we beat them with less than 5,000 men and horses?"

"Haha!" Su Dingfang laughed

"Hitting a stone with an egg is self-defeating. We must not do such stupid things. ”

Pei Xingjian suddenly woke up and said: "When the enemy retreats, I advance, and when the enemy advances, I retreat; The enemy is stationed in me to disturb, and the enemy is tired and I fight! Drag the fat to the thin, and drag the skinny to death. ”

"That's right, that's right. Next, let's do just that. Regarding Pei Xingjian's reaction, Su Dingfang was very satisfied.

As the head of the first army, Su Dingfang's eyes were already on the next battle. How to fight for catching up with the Turks. How to fight him has already been realized.

Although they had only 5,000 soldiers and horses, they were far inferior to the Turks in terms of strength. If you press it directly, the winning rate is less than 10%. These soldiers are the survivors of a hundred battles. The combat strength and will are by no means unattainable, although the Turkic soldiers have no morale at all, but the number is there, and these people are guarding their relatives to retreat together, once they perceive that their relatives are threatened, even if their morale is low, they will be willing to jump out and fight hard. This kind of direct play is certainly a method, but there are huge hidden dangers.

They only have less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and no matter how brave they are, it is impossible to kill more than 10 people on the other side.

The final result will inevitably be disrupted and scattered, these hundreds of thousands of people will flee together, and they will be in a mess, how can they tell where Jieli is? The current situation. Only the capture and killing of Jieli Khan is the real victory, and escaping Jieli Khan is a failure. To follow the army now is to follow the Khan of Jieli. Once their army is scattered, if you want to find Jieli Khan accurately, it will undoubtedly be looking for a needle in a haystack. If you ruin the whole plan because of your greed, then the crime is great. Besides, only God knows how many people are left after the first battle.

So he chose the tactic of "swimming but not attacking", and next, he planned to bite the fleeing army of Jieli Khan, so that they would be constantly threatened, so that they would always feel the threat of death, let them sleep restlessly, let them be in a state of high tension all the time, and let them sleep and wake up from their bad dreams.

In the end, they broke their defense line from the heart, forcing them to be unable to bear it themselves, and fled on their own, and at the same time took the opportunity to destroy their rear army and stragglers, eating away at their ranks, eating away at their will, and eating away at their combat effectiveness. Wait for them to be weakened to a certain point, or wait for the time to launch a general attack to ensure that Jieli is captured in one fell swoop.

About forty miles away from the battlefield!

Jieli Khan walked on the grass with a blue face. The scimitar in his hand was still dripping with blood, yes, after receiving the news of the annihilation of the entire army, Jieli Khan's heart was on fire, and he slaughtered more than twenty deserters who had survived their lives in one go. At this moment, Jieli Khan is like a killing god, and no one dares to touch his moldy head at this moment.

For a long time, for a long time, the Jieli Khan himself woke up from his anger, and he smelled the pungent smell and looked at the corpses of the Turkic warriors, head to foot, foot to head. Tears fell from his eyes: these were the soldiers of his king's tent, the warriors he really relied on, and now they were all cold and speechless corpses. Moreover, it was his own hands, but unfortunately, no matter how much regret he regretted, he couldn't save these young lives.

Zhao Deyan's face turned pale and he couldn't say a word: he couldn't imagine that this would be like this, he couldn't imagine that this battle was so tragic, and he couldn't figure out why the Turkic army, which was twice as large as the enemy, was defeated.

Although the lieutenant general of Ashina Simo, who survived, was alive, he was also covered in bruises, and he came to Jieli with the support of several soldiers, and struggled to break free from the support of the soldiers, and he knelt down heavily.

"Why? Why are you defeated, and you are all destroyed? Jieli Khan's voice was hoarse, and his tone was full of anger and trembling: "Qin Feng is really so irresistible. Can anyone tell me why? There are more than 5,000 of them, and 10,000 of you. In terms of numbers, you are more than twice as high as the other side, fighting on the grassland is our greatest advantage, and the Tang Army's cavalry and archery are not as good as ours, how can you lose, how can you lose so badly. He still can't believe that one-fifth of his strength has been defeated by the Tang Army in this battle.

Is Qin Feng really invincible?

Jieli Khan thought about his series of failures at the hands of Qin Feng. His face became more and more ugly.

A trace of horror flashed in the eyes of the adjutant general, and after he explained the battle in detail, he said in a trembling voice: "King Khan, the Tang army retreated into the Gobi Desert, and we fell for their tricks by negligence for a while. We hoped to boost our morale with a big victory, but seeing that the other side was retreating in a very chaotic way, and thinking that this was a vast grassland, no matter how much the Tang army was intriguing and intriguing, we still fell for them, they blocked the Gobi Desert with branches and grass, and we only cared about archery, and did not pay attention to the ...... under our feet." There was a hint of fear in his eyes, and until now, he had not recovered from the massacre.

Jieli Khan and Zhao Deyan heard this, and they still didn't understand where they really failed? From the very beginning, they fell for the tricks of the Tang army, thinking that the Tang army was small in number and was on the steppe, which just took advantage of the Turkic soldiers, and because they were too confident, they completely ignored small problems such as wind direction and terrain.

That's the real reason why they lost so completely.

Jieli Khan stopped talking, because if it was him, I was afraid that he would also be hit, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "What about General Simo?" Did he come back? ”

The adjutant general shook his head gloomily, and said in a trembling voice: "General Simo let the Tang army shoot with arrows. ”

Jieli Khan's body shook, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back, stumbling under his feet, and sitting on a corpse with his buttocks, his face pale and bloodless: "It's over, it's all over." ”

"King Khan......" Zhao Deyan's voice trembled a little, their situation was already critical.

"It's okay, it's okay! We don't have a problem ahead of us...... King Khan, now is not the time for you to rest, we must catch up with the people in front before the Tang army chases, and then, collect troops all the way. And crossed the land of Tiele as fast as he could. We have traveled from Dingxiang to here, day and night, Yi Nan has not yet known the news of our defeat, we must jump out of the encirclement before Yi Nan receives the news, and then go north to the Khan Court. Otherwise, if there is Yi Nan in front and Tang Army in the back, then our situation will be even more dangerous. We still have more than 40,000 troops on hand, plus the soldiers that can be conscripted along the way, not to mention 70,000 or 80,000 people, we Turks have grown up on horseback since childhood, everyone is a natural warrior, once they enlist in the army, they immediately form a battle, if you count, we still have the advantage, and it is not to the point of despair. However, the key lies in whether we can seize the precious time and whether we can integrate the army before the Tang army pursues it. ”

Zhao Deyan said in a panic, "Qin Feng followed us, but his strength is less than 5,000 people, and Qin Feng loves soldiers like a son, he will never fight with us, we can't help him, but they are also helpless with few troops, on the grassland, on the plains, as long as we are careful of his tricks, they must, must not be our opponents." ”

Zhao Deyan himself was a little confused, but he endured the shock and horror in his heart, and said some words to comfort Jieli and comfort himself.

If others heard his comfort, it would only become more chaotic. But Jieli is different, Jieli is the king of the Turkic Khan after all, and he has a certain amount of courage.

Although this fiasco made him stunned for a while, seeing Zhao Deyan's appearance, he realized that if they were like this as the superiors, what hope did the soldiers have?

If all the Turkic tribes know that their Khan King, the Khan's most powerful arm, is not good to say if he is frightened by the news of the Tang Army, what hope is there there?

Jie Li realized this, forcibly suppressed the horror in his heart, and shouted: "Calm down, you are right, we have not reached the point of exhaustion, we still have hope." Even if the Tang army really pursues us, we still have seventy or eighty thousand soldiers to fight, and as long as we are careful and vigilant, they will not be able to threaten us if they are afraid of our cavalry. After we retreat to the Khan Court, it's a big deal to retreat to Mobei, what are you panicking about? ”
