Chapter 423: Traps

I have to say that Zhao Deyan is still very wise, just as he looked at the unknown road and felt ominous, he suddenly found that the clansmen at the end were in turmoil, and they crowded forward in confusion, screaming and howling, as if they had encountered something terrible.

"Could it be that the Tang Army has caught up?" Jieli stopped his horse, he couldn't help but shudder, and fear began to spread in his heart. First, there was a false alarm, and Ashina Simo came from Wuyuan, not the Tang army, but this time Jieli Khan didn't think that any of his subordinates came to converge.

The answer will soon be revealed!

Ashina Simo rode up behind him, and said eagerly: "Oh no, the Tang army is catching up." ”

"How many people came? Under what banner? Jieli Khan hurriedly asked.

"The number of people is not clear, but looking at the momentum, there are tens of thousands of horses, as for the soldiers, there should be about 5,000, they are wearing the Qinzi flag, and there is a flag embroidered with a tiger, which says Tiger Ben General......"

"Qin Feng!"

Jieli Khan gritted his teeth, if it weren't for Qin Feng's repeated bad deeds for him, he would not have fallen to this step, he and Qin Feng can be described as enemies who share the sky, in addition to national hatred and family hatred, there are also personal grievances, just because when Dingxiang, Jieli Khan, who was shouting, let a piece of fall from the opening into his mouth, at that time, the whole army looked at the "" Jieli Khan stupidly, that kind of humiliation and shame made Jieli Khan unforgettable. Later, on the way to escape, he also knew that the culprit who proposed to freeze Dingxiangcheng and flooded Xiangcheng was Qin Feng, and even the idea of adding ingredients was Qin Feng. After that, Jieli Khan couldn't wait to dismantle Qin Feng into eight pieces, and even dreamed of greeting Qin Feng's ancestors for eighteen generations.

And now, this hateful creature is chasing and killing like a moth attached to the bones, and it can be said that new and old hatreds have sprung up in my heart.

"It came just in time, five thousand people wanted my head, it was a pipe dream. Since we sent them to the door ourselves, then we ate them. Jieli Khan was angry with his guts, and gave an order like thunder, pointing directly at Ashina Simo and said: "You lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to resist Qin Feng, be sure to wipe them out, and leave no one behind." Smoke, you know, I need to do a good job in a hearty victory right now, you know? ”

"Okay, King Xie Khan gave me the opportunity to make meritorious service, and I just wanted to take revenge." Ashnasimo's spirit was shocked, at this moment, the morale of the Turkic army was strong, at this time, with 10,000 against 5,000, and in the field on the plain, he seemed full of confidence. He smiled hideously and led his soldiers to meet him.

Zhao Deyan opened his mouth, he wanted to say that this is just the forward of the Tang army, the forward has arrived, which means that the army is also approaching, and the main task at this moment is to hurry, but when he thinks that if he does not fight, the enemy will still bite and hold on, and the losses will be greater when the time comes, so it is better to fight with it. However, he still dutifully said: "King Khan, these five thousand cavalry are only the vanguard of the Tang army, the army should not be too far away, the vast majority of us here are ordinary people, if the Tang army arrives, it will be a mess, I suggest that when General Ashina Simo meets the battle, let the family and the people break away from the army first." In this way, we can let go of all the Tang troops that block the pursuit. ”

"Just according to the words of the gentleman!" Jieli Khan knew that Zhao Deyan's worries were right, and decisively ordered: "Kang Sumi, you lead the people first, and you lead the cavalry of your headquarters to act as an escort." ”

"Yes!" Kang Sumi's eyes flickered and he took the order,

Jieli Khan looked at it with some sadness, remembering that when he was the first Khan, there were thousands of generals and clansmen, and then he thought about today, it was really a world of difference.

At this time, Ashnasimo was doing pre-war mobilization: "The enemy who wants to destroy our Turks is coming, just ahead, only about 5,000...... Clansmen, we are the masters of the grassland, and now the hateful Tang Dynasty has come to trample on our homeland, what do you say? ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A wolf's howl sounded......

"Take out your bows and arrows, let your enemies know that our Wu tribe is the best archers in the steppe, and make them tremble under our arrows......"

Ashina Simo raised his short bow high and rushed forward first, and in front of him was the well-arrayed Tang army, who seemed to be waiting for their own charge.

And the number of the Tang army was indeed as he expected, the number was about five thousand.

Ashina Simo had a sneer in his eyes.

Hold the cards in one hand!

Suddenly, the 10,000 Turkic army galloped rapidly, and the dust raised covered the sky and the sun, like a swarming monstrous flood.

**********

A few miles away, in the face of the menacing Turkic cavalry, the Tang army was as motionless as a mountain, they were waiting for the order of the main general, this time the main general was not Qin Feng, but Su Dingfang, who had been lurking in the depths of the desert for a long time.

Although Su Dingfang went deep into the heart of the enemy, his contact with the Tiger Ben Army has not been interrupted, as early as a few days ago, he knew the news of the complete victory of the Tang Army of the Three Routes, and also knew Li Jing's strategic intentions and the movements of the Turks through the messenger of the starry night, and at the same time, he also received an order from Qin Feng to slow down the speed of the Turks' westward advance.

"Brothers, the credit has come to the door. Give me all the things I do. Su Dingfang clenched the steel gun in his hand, a trace of meritorious service flashed in his eyes, seeing that the brothers had made immortal feats in Shuofang and Dingxiang, as a "veteran" in the Tiger Army, could he not be in a hurry?

Heroes emerge from troubled times!

In this troubled world. There is no one who can climb up with his military exploits.

Su Dingfang they rode lightly and quickly, as early as two days ago arrived here, although Su Dingfang is meritorious, but did not lose the calm that a generation of famous generals should have, he is not the kind of general who sacrifices his subordinates for his black gauze hat, if he really wants to do that, it is estimated that his career is also over, he did not take the initiative to attack, to the Turks to play the advantage of cavalry and archery, but here to recuperate, to wait for work, he chose the terrain is very particular.

It's a small valley, low and unremarkable.

The place he chose to deploy was on the south side, and the terrain in the north was more precipitous and dangerous than the southern entrance, and it was still a vast Gobi Desert. Far from being comparable to the Asina Simo on paper, as soon as he arrived at the location, he fell in love with this place.

Su Dingfang is a commander-in-chief general with his own thinking and ideas. Therefore, for such a talent, Qin Feng can not hesitate to hand over the arduous task of blocking the enemy to him, and let him choose freely according to his talents. He knew that instead of tying Su Dingfang to his strategy and letting him perform the task mechanically, it was better to rank him out of the strategy, and let him cooperate with the achievement of his grand strategy with his own strategy. In this way, all the talents and potentials of Su Dingfang can be perfectly brought into play.

This also means that Jieli Khan's opponent not only has one difficult Qin Feng, but also Su Dingfang, who is both wise and brave.

There is such a sentence in "The Mirror of the Six Armies" that only with the wisdom of commanding generals can you command the crowd of 10,000 people. It is said that if you want to command the army, the key is not the army, but the generals and colonels who command the army, as long as you can command the lieutenant generals and colonels of the army, and make reasonable use of their wisdom, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, the more the better. On the contrary, even if you have the ability to pass through the heavens and latitudes, if you can't give full play to the ability that a general should have, it will not help you to give you 100,200,000 military horses.

It was Qin Feng who did not forget to give full play to the abilities of his subordinates when he used his wits and strategy, especially a great talent like Su Dingfang.

Pei Xingjian, who had not yet grown up, did not understand the terrain that Su Dingfang chose to fight, and he didn't know why Su Dingfang didn't choose the more precipitous north, but at the mouth of the valley with open terrain, wouldn't this give the Turkic cavalry the full play of their own advantages?

"The advantage of the Turks lies in excellent cavalry archery, and here there is the condensation of the valley, which makes the wind of the north wind more powerful, and the range of our army's bows and crossbows is much higher than that of the Turks, which is our advantage, and in wartime we shoot with the wind, and the Turkic cavalry will be in the headwind shooting, when the time comes, the power of our arrows will be doubled, and the Turks are just the opposite, even if they shoot at us, the power is not enough to kill." This is Su Dingfang's explanation, which also made Pei Xingjian suddenly realize.

"Besides, this is not the place where the Turks are truly annihilated." Su Dingfang said with a meaningful smile.

Pei Xingjian said suspiciously: "It's not here, is it the Gobi Desert with a radius of about ten miles behind it?" ”

Su Dingfang said: "Our army has war horses and horseshoes, but the Turks do not. The horseshoe is the boot of the war horse, and no matter how sharp the stone is, it is also as fast as flying, without any damage, but the Turks are different. As long as they enter the Gobi Desert, they are lambs to the slaughter. ”

Pei Xingjian admired: "The general is far-sighted, he dares to think about what people dare not think, and what he doesn't want to be, he is really a strange person." "Joining the Tiger Ben Army is not a short time, Pei Xingjian knows a lot of things about Qin Feng through Su Dingfang and through those soldiers who worship Qin Feng like a god, and the more he knows, the stronger his admiration becomes.

"So, the general got a high position at a young age. And it is definitely not as some people say, it is His Majesty's nepotism, and His Majesty's reuse of generals, which just shows that His Majesty is an emperor who uses only talent."

At that time, after Su Dingfang arranged all the defenses, he took Pei Xingjian and a few henchmen with him, and personally experienced the feat of running the Gobi Desert on a horse, and after running a lap, the war horse loaded with the horseshoe was not damaged at all, and several war horses used as test objects, under the wild gallop without loads, only ran a small half of the distance and were all heroically scrapped. In order to avoid the Turks from finding out that the front is the Gobi Desert and stopping, Su Dingfang led the soldiers to cut the dry grass to camouflage the Gobi Desert in the previous part, if you don't look carefully, no one will find out that the front is the Gobi Desert, and when the Turkic army goes deep into it, it will be too late for them to retreat, because even if they can retreat, their colleagues behind them will push them forward, and then how many Turks will lie down.

After arranging everything, he surveyed the terrain in all directions.

Su Dingfang's purpose was to find a high place that would not be discovered by the other party, so that he could observe the whole situation under the valley and investigate the movements of the Turks.

It's just that the distance is too short and I am not satisfied, and there is no extra time to prepare for key things, but it is better than nothing.
