Yusuf. After Kadir finished speaking, he regretted it, not regretting whether he should say anything about Bishkek or not, but regretting participating in this battle.

Reckless!

Although he did not personally lead his troops into battle, he also understood that a large number of people sometimes did not guarantee victory, as evidenced by the attack on Khotan. Combined with what Mahmoud said, at the time of Herat, that man and horse caused the loss of 80,000 people on the Turkic side with only 2,000 cavalry, so how many more men did they use in Bishkek?

From the beginning of the 2,000 people, a winter has passed, according to Mahmoud's description, that Luo Kaixian is a guy with outstanding military force and knows how to train soldiers, I'm afraid it will more than double, right?

Even if winter is not suitable for military training, and there is not so much pasture west of the Tianshan Mountains, this number is difficult to guess, but the most stupid way to speculate will also come to a bad conclusion. At the moment, the three divisions have a large number of people, and the total number is already more than 100,000, but can they really defeat the team of 80,000 Turks with 2,000 cavalry?

Li Deming is also involuntarily worried, a few years ago, his father Li Jiqian was killed by the shameless Song general with a poisoned arrow, and the hearts of the people have not stabilized so far, but he, the son of the bitter master, has to fight with the enemy, although the Khitan people promise many benefits, but the benefits of the Khitan people are easy to take?

I sighed in my heart, people still have to rely on themselves after all, how many soldiers are there in this migration team in front of me? Two thousand! With just such a small number of troops, the Turks and Qarluqs were beaten in the river, could it be that the Turks have become soft-footed sheep? Isn't Mahmoud exaggerating and alarmist?

It's impossible, the Turkic soldiers are stationed not far away, although it looks a little messy, but every warrior can be called good, not to mention that this kind of defeat should be regarded as a shame for the Turks, and Mahmud has no reason to slap himself in the face.

Tangled, I wanted to stabilize people's hearts with a victory, but the matter in front of me was obviously a hot stone taken out of the fire. How did you suddenly find yourself in a dilemma?

enter, you have to face an inexplicable team that can't figure out the details; Withdraw? Where is it so easy to retreat, sitting in this position of commander, you can't speak at will, every move is being figured out in private, and if there is a slight suspicion, those guys will pounce on them like mad dogs. Once there is an omission, even if it is his mother family, the Yeli family, he will not let himself go!

Mahmoud had been fooling around in the Samanid court as a teenager, and was so much better than the other two that he immediately noticed that the two temporary allies had the idea of backing down—which was not his original intention!

His purpose of shaking out the strength of Luo Kaixian's team was to let the two sides know how to work together, not to scare them! Before the battle was fought, wouldn't it become a joke for the 100,000-strong army to retreat without a fight?

So...... In any case, we must first carry out this "hunt" in front of us, as for what entanglements between the Qarluq and the party members in the future, and what is the matter with him Mahmud?

"Yousufu and Tuoba brothers, the two of them feel that they are so hard to move the people, and they can't guarantee to win the battle, lest the gains outweigh the losses, right?" Mahmoud changed his tone, but he was a bit like a lobbyist, "There is an old proverb in the grassland, if you want to hunt bearskin, you have to be willing to spend your strength." There is no such thing as unearned gain. ”

"Brother Mamud, how precious is this bear skin, according to you? Is it worth the effort? "Equal to each other, Yusuf. Kadir was also not polite, and asked a straightforward one.

Li Deming didn't speak, but his eyes stared at Mahmoud in the red turban without blinking.

"According to the report of my subordinates, there are two kinds of carts in that Luo Kaixian's team, one is one that has no wheels and can float in mid-air, and there is a huge black ball on it, I don't know what it is used for, but the other party is violent and gives the old guys and children in the team a ......" Halfway through speaking, Mahmoud found that the eyes of the two people opposite were lit up, and he simply did not hide it, "If you are not interested in this, then the other one is not simple!" ”

"Why isn't it easy?" Yusuf wanted to scold the other party for hanging people's appetites, but suddenly thought that the other party was not his subordinate, so he could only make fun of it. Because he wanted to know that what could make the Turkic people in the south care so much would not be a simple thing.

Of the three, Mahmoud was the eldest, Yusuf. Kadir is the second, and Li Deming is the youngest, but in fact, he is the youngest and the most scheming. Li Deming took advantage of his young age, and the two people next to him were talking, he was so happy that he didn't have to speak, anyway, this time he sent the most troops, and he couldn't leave him if there was something.

"The other was a four-wheeled cart, the whole body of which was made of fine iron, and on the sides of the cart there was a huge side plate full of holes and spikes, which could accommodate the infantry to thrust with spears or crossbows behind the side plates! It is also crucial that there are at least a hundred such cars, and every dozen or twenty of them are connected together to form a circular fortress...... This thing is the big killer to restrain my steppe cavalry! He said a lot of things, and Mahmoud also said what he liked the most.

Yusuf heard it and understood, but he didn't think it was very important, Kashgar is close to the Hanhai, and the carts and the like are sunken in the sand for nothing, but the terrain on the side of Bukhara and Hengros is flat and suitable for fighting at the base - but that is the place of the Ali system, what does it matter to you?

Li Deming listened and pondered, unlike Yusuf. Kadir, who was a military man, understood what it was when he heard the holes and spikes in the side panels, and when he heard that it could form a rambar, he not only understood, but a cold sweat broke out on his back.

This kind of thing is simply made specifically to restrain the cavalry! People who have never been on the battlefield don't know that the archers are at most dressed in leather armor, and encountering this kind of cart made of fine iron is a contest between flesh and blood. If it were you, you would definitely be equipped with a strong bow and crossbow, and maybe you could also add a throwing gun!

Thinking of this, Li Deming couldn't help asking: "Mahmoud Emir, if that's the case, find a few craftsmen to take a look, won't you be able to learn?" ”

"Okay, Brother Tuoba is still young......" Mahmoud snorted, and then said with some meaning: "It's Brother Tuoba that you have such a big killing weapon, will people watch it at will?" With this kind of thing, I'm afraid it will be much easier for you to deal with Zhao Song in the East, right? ”

"Oh......" Li Deming was speechless for a moment.

"It's not that no one has tempted, but there are many tempting people, from the Magyar Sea to the Amu Darya River, my men have sent people to tempt constantly, and I don't know how many people died along the way. That Luo Kaixian was very tightly arranged, and when he was marching, he covered the car with a thick tarpaulin, and when he was fighting, he ...... Outsiders who have seen that kind of car are basically dead! Mahmoud did not laugh at the other party's naivety anymore, but explained it in detail.

Of course, it is not that Mahmoud has become a philanthropic elder, but that he needs the cooperation of Li Deming and his forty or fifty thousand soldiers.

Li Deming didn't think about it so much, but as Mahmoud said, once he had this kind of well-made partial van, he could have more confidence in dealing with the infantry like the tide of Zhao and Song in the East, as for the initial kind of worry, he had already put it behind him - no matter what he wanted, how could he not pay the price?

What's more, it is not necessarily himself who pays the price, he brought out 46,000 soldiers this time, of which only 20,000 are the elite of the Dingyan army, and the rest are the warriors of the tribes on the left and near, and they don't have to worry about how many of their people die, but it is still beneficial for them to die more.

"Thank you Grand Emir Mahmoud for reminding us that Tuoba was reckless...... Li Deming, who had figured it out, thanked Mahmoud and then asked: "Is it because of that van that His Excellency persuaded us to use the current scattered camp?" ”

Now that the matter has been decided, there is no need to worry about what to fight or not, Li Deming simply turned the topic to the marching formation. In his opinion, since he is in a dilemma, it is better to advance and retreat, and since the other party's spies have been sent, they must have understood the general situation of their own side. In any case, he is already on the opposite side of that Luo Kaixian, so let's just look at who is strong and who is weak.

It must be said that Li Deming's father Li Jiqian, who followed him, still developed a military character, which is different from Yousufu, who is in the upper position of the conspiracy. Kadir, he has seen a lot of battles, and he understands the truth that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road.

"Brother Tuoba is right......" Mahmoud nodded, and praised the other party's knowledge of current affairs, "Actually, I also know something about the war in Bishkek, Brother Yusuf ......"

"Brother Mamoud has anything to say...... "It's not uncommon for the Turks to have secret reports on the Darya River of Amu, Yusuf. Kadir had already known this in his mind.

"Huh...... The battle scene in Bishkek is indeed miserable, and I have to say, those of your Qarluq Ali line...... It's really not good, according to the details of the battlefield, the soldiers on the Ali side rushed in a swarm, and that Luo Kaixian just ordered to use fifteen or twenty side vans to form a ring fortress together, and the cavalry rushed into it, but it didn't take a stick of incense to bleed like a river...... Didn't the Han people in the East say that one general is incapable of exhausting the three armies? That's it, after the brave sharp was killed on the side car barrier, the formation was chaotic, and Na Luo Kai led the cavalry to kill from both wings...... Tsk, tens of thousands of people scattered at once...... "Mahmoud is also a battle-hardened man, and when he closes his eyes, he can imagine the scene at that time, and his words are also vivid.

"......" listened to the Turkic commander talk about the affairs of his own clan, the Eastern Khan of Qarluq, Yusuf. Kadir's face was blue and white for a while, and it was extremely ugly, he had just sat in the position of the Khan of the East now, and he couldn't care about suppressing the Ali faction in the West, but listening to the Ali faction devaluing his strength like this, he really couldn't say whether he was happy or sad. I am glad that this matter can be used as a lever to attack and destroy the Ali system, and I am sad that I have lost the confidence of the same Qarlu people.

Li Deming pondered different things from Mahmoud's words, and pondered in his heart for a while, but he really didn't know the point, and said in a low voice: "It is said that this kind of military battle formation has a heritage, and I have never heard of any person surnamed Luo who is so good, where did such a powerful figure come out?" ”

Although his voice was small, there were only seven or eight people in the tent, except for the three of them, there was no sound, and the left and right sides of the tent were also quiet, how could the two people on the side not hear clearly?

"No one knows the origin of Luo Kaixian, it is said that he returned from Rome, that is, the Western Qin as the Han people, but ...... The origin of this person is strange. Mahmoud also lowered his voice, and after saying a few words, he was as clueless as Li Deming.
