Seeing that all the leaders nodded in agreement, the Turkic Jieli Khan ordered: "Losing your strength, Ben Khan ordered you to lead 30,000 Turkic elites to capture the Evil Sun Ridge and seize this strategic place. ”

He put his right hand on his chest and bowed to the Khan and said, "The ministers obey the orders of the Great Khan. ”

On the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, a Tang military camp is undulating, outside a camp tent, a big flag with the word "Tang" flutters in the wind, and there are two neat columns of soldiers arranged in front of the camp tent, each with big shoulders and round waists, and their eyes are shining, so that people can see that these soldiers are the elite of the battlefield for a long time. Around the camp tent, there are also elite soldiers lined up in a formation to patrol back and forth, this camp tent is the base camp of the Tang Northern Expedition army, it is from this camp tent, the general orders that come out, commanding the 400,000 troops of the Tang Twelve Guards Army on the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

In the big tent, the deputy marshal and the general of the right Xiaowei, Wei Chi Jingde, sat on the handsome chair, looked at the generals with a majestic bearing, and said: "The Turks are cutting wood day and night on the other side of the Hunhe River to build wooden platoons, it seems that they want to seize the ferry. Chai Shao, this commander ordered you to quickly transfer 5,000 soldiers to reinforce and strictly prevent the enemy from crossing the river. ”

Chai Shao, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, promised: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Li Ji, the champion general of the Tang Dynasty who was standing at the end of the generals, said: "Deputy marshal, the last general thinks that the Turks' raft building at the Hunhe River crossing with great fanfare seems to be more like a bluff and a suspicious plan." ”

Wei Chi Jingde asked with displeasure on his face: "Li Ji, how do you say that the Turks are using suspicious tactics?" ”

Li Ji replied: "Deputy Marshal Qiyu, the water of the Hunhe River is shallow, and only small boats can be carried in the river, so what is the use of them Turkic seizing the ferry?" Besides, in a few days, winter will come, and the Hunhe River will freeze. When the time comes, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to cross the river by stepping on ice? Why not try your best to seize the ferry now, but you can't transport many people and can't play a role. Therefore, the general felt that the Turks were bluffing. Using the tactics of suspicious soldiers, their purpose should not be the crossing of the Hunhe River, but to sneak attack the Evil Yang Ridge. ”

Wei Chi Jingde laughed and said: "Li Ji, you said that the Hunhe River ferry is useless, is it possible that the small earthen village in Evil Yang Ridge is useful if it is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side?" ”

Li Jiyi arched his hand and analyzed with a serious attitude: "Deputy Marshal, although the Evil Yang Ridge is useless now, once the river freezes. The waterways around the Evil Yang Ridge can run horses and cars, and our Tang army on the entire Datang and Turkic borders will be divided into two by a Evil Yang Ridge, and they cannot reinforce each other, and they cannot form horns with each other, while the Turkic cavalry can attack any of our armies that are divided into two halves at will, and they all have an advantage, so on. The consequences are really unimaginable. ”

Wei Chi Jingde asked with a little hesitation: "Li Ji, according to what you said." Evil Yang Ridge is so important, so how many troops should we put in Evil Yang Ridge? ”

After Li Ji pondered for a while, he said: "Deputy Marshal, the last general feels that at least 30,000 troops must be put into the Evil Yang Ridge, so that the Evil Yang Ridge can be guaranteed." ”

Wei Chi Jingde smiled coldly and said, "Li Ji, a small Evil Yang Ridge. You will let Ben Shuai put 30,000 troops to guard it. Why can't Ben Shuai see anything important in Evil Yang Ridge? If 30,000 troops are to be put to guard the Evil Yang Ridge, then my Datang is to recruit 1 million troops, and then I can't hold these thousands of mountains on the border between Datang and the Turks, so what else can I use in Datang to attack the Dingxiang Khan of the Turkic Jieli Khan? Li Ji, don't make too much of a fuss. According to Ben Shuai, it is enough to put a thousand people to guard the Evil Yang Ridge. ”

Li Ji was about to speak, but he hadn't spoken yet.

Wei Chi Jingde waved his hand and said unusually domineeringly: "Li Ji, don't say it again." My lieutenant Chi Jingde has fought for decades, and he is not a person who has never seen the world, this matter is so decided, a thousand people guard the Evil Yang Ridge, and those who dare to talk about increasing troops again will be engaged in military law. ”

After saying that, Wei Chi Jingde brushed his sleeves away.

Li Ji looked dazed and froze in place. All the generals looked at Li Ji, and Li Ji also felt very bored, so he also left the tent with a gloomy face.

The generals looked at each other, they knew that Wei Chi Jingde was a general personally ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Ji was the general of Li Jidian, the general of the auxiliary state.

Three days later, news came from the front line that Zhi Lost Sili led 30,000 Turkic elites to raid the Evil Yang Ridge, and the 1,000 defenders on the Evil Yang Ridge resisted desperately, and finally they were outnumbered, the whole army was annihilated, and the Evil Yang Ridge was lost.

And just as the champion general Li Ji expected, the Turkic army that snatched the crossing of the Hunhe River was bluffing and carrying out suspicious tactics, and their target was a small earthen village surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side - Evil Yang Ridge.

On the night of the day when the stubborn mind attacked and occupied the Evil Yang Ridge, Li Jing, the general of the auxiliary state, and Li Xuan, the king of Yong'an, came to the Tang marshal tent of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the border between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.

Deputy Marshal Chi Jingde welcomed Li Jing into the marshal's tent, pointed to the marshal's position, and said: "Marshal, please....... we are all looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we are looking forward to the marshal coming to command this battle!" I've been waiting for a long time, and I don't know what the imperial court means, when will the imperial court decide to start a decisive battle with the Turks? ”

Li Jing looked at Yu Chi Jingde and said coldly: "Yu Chi Jingde, the decisive battle has begun!" Ben Shuai had already seen the fire on the Evil Sun Ridge on the way here, and in this first battle, my Datang had already lost one first. ”

All the generals stood solemnly, and they didn't dare to make a sound, Li Jing glanced at the generals, and finally looked at Wei Chi Jingde, the deputy marshal of the Tang Dynasty and the general of the Right Xiaowei, and Wei Chi Jingde lowered his head in shame.

Li Jing stepped towards the handsome position, and after the handsome case, he said to the generals: "The decisive battle between my Tang Dynasty and the Turks starts today!" The Turkic Jieli Khan violated the borders of our Tang Dynasty for many years and plundered and killed our Tang people, which was the scourge of our Tang Dynasty court and the enemy of our Tang people. The commander was edicted to fight the thief, and the soldiers of the whole country gathered here, if the battle is victorious, the national fortune will win, and if the battle is defeated, the world will die. We don't have any choice but to win. And to win this battle, you must first recapture the Evil Sun Ridge! Recapture the Evil Sun Ridge, a strategic place that is crucial to the battle situation! Only by recapturing the Evil Yang Ridge can the peak of our Tang Dynasty's 400,000 troops be concentrated to one point, pointing directly at the tent of the Turkic Jieli Khan in Dingxiang, and the decline of our army on the battlefield can be reversed! Otherwise, my Datang 400,000 troops can only be divided into two pieces by a Evil Yang Ridge, and they will be broken by the Turkic army, each of them, and eaten one bite at a time! This decisive battle, which is related to the fate of the country, has been doomed from the beginning! (To be continued......)
