Chapter 67: Fighting
"Han people, hurry up and come out to fight!" A loud Turk shouted with a simple horn.
Because now Datang is infantry, according to common sense, they all rely on the city to defend it, and normally they will not fight. Most of the Turks were cavalry, and they were not good at attacking cities, so they all wanted to force the Han army out, so that they could successfully rely on cavalry to slaughter the Han infantry.
"The Han people don't dare to fight, they are cowards!" "Hahahaha, Han people are cowards!" "The Han people are all unplanted goods, and they don't even dare to go to war!" "The Han people are coming to an end, and we are going to take their people and use them as our slaves. We also want to take the Han women and let them have children for us. The skin of the Han women is so good! ”
The Turks began to shout foul language, as if they wanted to force the Tang army into battle. And the soldiers at the bottom were all angry and asked to fight. However, the high-level leaders of the Tang Dynasty were calm in their hearts. This kind of insult and insult from the enemy has long been something that these high-level people who have been fighting all their lives have long been accustomed to. If the enemy doesn't say a few foul words before leaving the station, then what kind of battle will he fight?
"Your Majesty, are we going to war? I want to go out and warm up! Cheng Yanjin said.
Li Shimin looked at Li Jing, who had the best military talent present, but Li Jing turned his head and asked Li Junxian: "Junxian, do you have confidence in those soldiers who are trained according to your requirements?" ”
"Yes!" Li Junxian said.
"Since Li Junxian is confident, let him bring 10,000 foot soldiers who are trained according to his requirements to fight outside! I believe that General Junxian will do his best, after all, he is the first one who will not let go of the Turks! Hehe! Li Jing said.
Li Jing's meaning is obvious, if the army is defeated this time, everyone present may survive, but Li Junxian has absolutely no chance of living. Li Junxian killed the Turkic 40,000 young and middle-aged enemies, and even Jieli Khan couldn't protect Li Junxian. Therefore, Li Junxian must do everything he can to repel the Turks this time, otherwise his life will be in danger!
"The minister asked His Majesty for his orders, and the minister asked to bring 10,000 foot soldiers trained according to the minister's requirements, and to bring those modified bows and crossbows to meet the Turks." Li Junxian said.
Li Shimin looked at Li Junxian, and then looked at the Turks who were challenging outside the city, and his mouth was a little silent. If, intellectually, at this time you should rely on the depth of the city to resist the Turks, and if the Turks cannot attack for a long time, then they will retreat. Normally, it is like this, and the Turks generally do not carry out long-term sieges. The Turks, a nomadic people, did not have the habit of carrying grain and grass for a long time, so most of them were a gust of wind, and as long as they withstood the attack from the front, the Turkic logistics problems would arise, and they could only retreat.
"Jun Xian, let's rely on the city to hold on! By the time our reinforcements arrive, the Turks should be back soon. Li Shimin said.
But Li Junxian said: "Your Majesty, if we choose to rely on the city to hold on, then our Datang is in danger!" ”
"What? Datang is dangerous? Li Shimin was a little surprised.
"Your Majesty, the minister killed 40,000 Turks before, and he has a different hatred for the Turks, so they must take the minister's head. If they don't get it, or if we don't hurt them, they won't retreat. As for the issue of grain and grass, although we have carried out a strong wall to clear the wilderness, we can only do it near Chang'an. However, one or two hundred miles outside Chang'an, it was not something we could clean, after all, our Chang'an City could not accommodate so many people at that time. Therefore, they can go and rob our people of their food, and kill them for revenge. ”
"Second, the reinforcements Your Majesty mentioned, I'm afraid Your Majesty should not expect too much! Now Datang is just preparing to unify the world, and the world has not yet completely returned to its heart, and there are always some people who do not give up. At this time, those with bad intentions will inevitably look on the sidelines. Even if there are many people who are loyal to Datang, they will be pulled back by some people. ”
Li Shimin was shocked, he found that those reinforcements were not too reliable! Now the Tang Dynasty is just about to unify the world, and those princes from all over the world just see that the general trend of reunification is inevitable, and the whole wind is blowing in the direction of unification. However, if the center of the Tang Dynasty and the central army directly under the Tang Dynasty are all lost, then the general trend of the Tang Dynasty's unification of the world will dissipate. And those with ambitions will inevitably take the opportunity to sit on the sidelines, wanting to remain neutral in this battle between the Turks and Li Shimin. If the Turks win, then they will continue to fight for world domination. If Li Shimin wins, then make a show and send troops to rescue him, Li Shimin can't say anything anyway. Even if some people are really loyal to Datang, there are always some people who will hold back, which is very normal.
"Hey, we're on our own in this battle!" Li Shimin sighed and said.
"Jun Xian, do you have any hope of victory?" Li Shimin asked.
"Yes, the minister has absolute confidence that he can stop the Turks!" Li Junxian said with certainty.
"Jun Xian, we haven't actually practiced your tactics before, because the cavalry has been transferred by you to fight the Turks. We are all just deductions, no actual exercises. We don't know the actual combat effect, do you really think this tactic can be ridden on foot? Li Jing asked again.
"The last general is absolutely sure that this set of tactics can be ridden in foot!" Li Junxian replied to Li Jing's question.
Although the set of tactics set up by Li Junxian was not able to actually be exercised in Datang, he saw this set of tactics from the history books, so he was sure that this set of tactics could be ridden on foot. In ancient times, it was a difficult problem to restrain cavalry with infantry. Unless it is the era of firearms, the cavalry can be truly eliminated. And Li Junxian's tactics are not without shortcomings, that is, they can only defend and hinder the enemy, but they cannot take the initiative to attack the cavalry.
"Your Majesty, since General Jun Xian is confident, let him try! Anyway, we still have 70,000 troops, and if there is an accident with these 10,000 people, we can rescue them in time! As long as we are careful and closer to the city gate, it won't be a big problem! Li Jing said affirmatively.
"That's it! Since the pharmacists have said so, then Jun Xian, you should take 10,000 people with you! However, if you don't stop the Turks, then you can see for yourself! Li Shimin nodded.
"Obey orders!"
Li Junxian immediately went to order 10,000 sergeants, and then took these infantry and those Xuanjia troops and the previous light cavalry out to meet the enemy.
