The news of the Tang Dynasty's large-scale attack on the Turks soon reached Dingxiang and was known to the Turks. Such a large-scale transfer in the Tang Dynasty was also very difficult to keep secret. The Turks immediately held a meeting to discuss ways to deal with Li Tang's attack. Now the Turks are not having a good time, the heavy snow has frozen countless cattle and sheep to death, and it is the time when the Turks are at their weakest. Usually at this time, everyone is thinking about how to go to the Central Plains to loot, but now they are actually attacked by the Tang Dynasty in turn?

"Khan, we must teach the Tang Dynasty some lessons! Now that the Tang Dynasty dares to take the initiative to attack us, and we don't teach them a lesson, then where is the national prestige of our Turks? A Turkic nobleman said.

"Yes! Khan, let's teach the Tang Dynasty some lessons. Another Turkic nobleman said.

Jieli Khan did not say a word, and finally said after a long time: "Let's withdraw to the steppe!" I'm afraid Dingxiang City won't be able to hold it. ”

"What?" "Khan, what's wrong with you?" "Khan, why are you?" "Khan, Dingxiang City is ours, why should we give it up to the Han people?"

Jieli Khan finally said, "You know what? This time, the Tang Dynasty people have taken 100,000 troops over, can we hold it? ”

"Khan, we have city walls, enough to withstand a hundred thousand Tang troops." A Turkic nobleman said.

Jieli immediately slapped the table fiercely and said, "You idiot, the advantage of our Turks lies in the cavalry, and the steppe is our home field." We fought a battle to defend the city, can we beat the Han Chinese? The Han people all understand that war should promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, how can we do such a stupid thing of sacrificing our strengths and seeking weaknesses? ”

The Turkic nobleman was speechless, apparently aware that his attention was a stupid pig's idea.

"Next, we want to continue to consume the Han people on the grassland, as long as the Han soldiers are tired and the consumption is too large, they will naturally withdraw their troops. Our grassland is a treasure for us nomads. But for the Han people, it is a tasteless food. It's a pity to abandon the place. Therefore, they will not fight with us for the sake of the grassland at all. As soon as they lose too much, they will withdraw. What's more, the Han people don't like war either, because war makes them increase their taxes, and the people will oppose it. Therefore, as long as we confront them on the steppe, we will be invincible. Jieli Khan said.

Jieli was worthy of being a man who was proficient in military affairs, and they immediately knew the weakness of the Tang Dynasty, that is, they could not last. The military logistics of the Tang Dynasty had to be transported from the country. And the logistical pressure is many times greater than that of the Turks. Once the war lasts, I am afraid that it will be the Tang Dynasty people who will not be able to hold it first. The advanced civilization also has the weakness of the advanced civilization, that is, the consumption is also very large. If it were normal, the Turks could completely consume the Tang Dynasty. In later generations, China's confrontation with the Western powers only consumed Japan by relying on the relatively backward situation of civilization. Therefore, the backwardness of civilization is to avoid the enemy, and then consume the enemy with the advanced civilization. Of course, in the current situation, this consumption is not the consumption of the population. Rather, it consumed the resources of the Tang Dynasty.

"Khan is wise!"

"Report to the Khan, the enemy vanguard of the Tang Dynasty is already less than a hundred miles away from us, and our Tanma has begun to engage their scouts." The Turks said.

"It's coming so fast!" Jieli also sighed.

Li Junxian had already sent out the reconnaissance battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion had already ridden dozens of miles away to reconnoitre. They also fought with the Turkic horses for a while. It's very normal for ancient scouts to fight, so there won't be any problems.

"Who are the enemy's generals?" Jieli asked.

"According to our investigation, the general of the enemy who played the vanguard was Li Junxian."

"What? Li Junxian! "Is it Li Junxian's little white face?" "Khan, you can't let go of Li Junxian's little white face!" "Khan. I can't let him go! ”

Jieli's face was also darkening, and it was obvious that he also hated this Li Junxian very much. Li Junxian was a great butcher who killed tens of thousands of Turkic people. These are the prime of life. It's just consumed, and there are no ten years that can't be replenished back. Therefore, the Turks have a deep hatred for Li Junxian. Now that Li Junxian is still bringing troops over, I am afraid that the Turks are furious.

"Everyone stay with Ben Khan, and have a good time meeting this Li Junxian. He defeated us a few years ago, and today we are going to be ashamed of this fate. Didn't he defeat me in cavalry warfare, which our Turks are best at? Let's defeat the Han people in the battle of attacking and defending the city, which they are best at, and see how they can do it. Jieli Khan said.

"That's right! Since Li Junxian is powerful in cavalry, he must not be good at siege warfare. "The Khan is wise, no matter how smart Li Junxian is, he can't be good at siege warfare and cavalry, right? Therefore, we can defeat him in the defense of the city, and we will be ashamed. ”

Everyone agreed with this statement, because they all thought that since Li Junxian was good at cavalry, he should not be good at attacking cities. The gap between the cavalry siege was very large, one was a battle of movement, the other was a battle of position. In history, there are very few two combat methods that can be used well, so the Turks subconsciously thought that Li Junxian was not good at siege warfare.

However, if they knew that Li Junxian had cannons, they probably wouldn't have thought about fighting Li Junxian at all, because no matter how hard the city wall was, it would not be the opponent of cannons! Why did the later generations have no city walls, it is not because the artillery is becoming more and more powerful, so the city walls are invincible, so it is better to simply tear down the city walls.

"Okay, Ben Khan is going to make a break with Li Junxian in Dingxiang and break the myth of Li Junxian. Since we have lost our national prestige in Li Junxian's divine beast, then we have to find it back in Li Junxian! Otherwise, we Turks will never want to raise our heads in front of the Han Chinese. Jieli Khan shouted.

"Okay, let's kill Li Junxian!" "This time, we must clean up this Li Junxian and avenge our dead people." "Yes! We want to take revenge, and we can't let go of this Li Junxian. ”

The enthusiasm of the Turks was aroused, and they also wanted to do Li Junxian in this battle. However, they didn't know what Li Junxian's special guard strength was, and they still estimated Li Junxian with the previous Tang Army. Even if Li Junxian had a bow and crossbow version of queuing to be shot, but this was a defensive battle, and there was no need to queue up to shoot. This is what the Turks think, they think that Li Junxian can't use the method of dealing with cavalry against them, so they are very relieved. (To be continued......)
